Chapter 946: Entering the Rank (2)

Zhang Zhongjun went to freshen up again, ate and drank, and finally specially asked the little surname of the inn to go out with the usual money to buy a brand-new samurai uniform, brand-new shoes and socks, and invited a barber from the town to come over, and after tidying up, he put down the package with a radiant demeanor, brought only identity documents and a sword, wore a brand-new samurai uniform, and walked out of the dormitory slowly.

As for how to ask for a job, he asked early on, so Zhang Zhongjun naturally went directly to the city gate. Seeing the banner waving in the wind on the city wall, as well as the flag behind the city gatekeeper, Zhang Zhongjun blinked his eyes, because the icon on the flag was a purple round eight-petal melon pattern. And this is the family crest of the Zichuan family.

Coming to the gate of the city, the guards specially used ropes and wooden stakes to separate a passage on the side, and at this moment there was already a queue of more than a dozen people waiting for the inspection to pass, including Zhang Zhongjun, only three were wearing samurai uniforms and katanas, and the others were all dressed as townspeople or farmers, all of them were full of excitement and nervousness.

The two warriors lined up in the middle of the line seemed to be ignoring everyone else, with their nostrils facing the sky, but after seeing Zhang Zhongjun appear, they all nodded in greeting.

Of course, Zhang Zhongjun politely returned the salute, but he sighed in his heart, this is a hierarchical world, in fact, when he was wearing a samurai uniform and holding a katana and walking on the road with four bean soldiers, he had already committed the big crime of pretending to be a samurai. After all, at that time, he didn't even have an identity, let alone a samurai.

And now he has an identity, because his father on the document is not only a samurai, but also the former governor of a small samurai family, so his identity as Kurokawa Masatoku, although he is not a samurai, and he does not have the slightest knowledge of action, but he has the power to wear samurai clothes and walk with a sword.

And if civilians dare to do this, once they are found, they will be directly punished as thieves, which means that they can be killed on the spot without interrogation.

Zhang Zhongjun didn't understand such strict rules, since this is a world where demons and monsters are rampant, in order to eliminate demons and monsters, everyone naturally has to be armed, why Mao's restrictions on civilians are so strict?

However, after inquiring a little, Zhang Zhongjun discovered that this world does not restrict civilians or even untouchables from holding weapons, because when recruiting peasant soldiers, the peasant soldiers themselves are responsible for arming, and the martial artists have to pay for their own equipment when they restrict weapons? In addition, most of these fierce guys such as demons, monsters, monsters, and beasts are haunted on the boundaries of the village, how can the villagers resist without weapons? Even if the samurai stay in the village, the villagers need to have weapons, so that when they are gathered, they can immediately form an army!

The restriction in this world is that non-samurai descendants are not allowed to wear samurai uniforms and carry weapons on the streets. That's right, civilians can indeed have weapons, but they can't be exposed in public, hiding them so that no one cares about you, and taking them out and dangling them is looking for death.

Therefore, it is said that some secret agents and some gangsters are accustomed to making a kind of weapon that looks like a wooden knife, but in fact, when the circlip is pressed, the blade of the weapon can be drawn out to equip it. So in the city of this world, don't see people fighting with wooden knives, thinking that it is not a weapon and being careless, people can draw their knives and slash at any time, and after chopping, they will hide from the corner, and they can't find it.

Zhang Zhongjun waited in line quietly, and other people waiting soon appeared behind him, Zhang Zhongjun was also the same as the two samurai before, once someone dressed as a samurai appeared in the team behind, he would nod his head, and the other party would also bow slightly in return like Zhang Zhongjun before.

Well, no way, this is the class rule of this world, even when encountering demons and monsters in the wild, if the samurai has the ability, he will first rescue people of the same class as himself, and then think about rescuing civilians.

Just look at the present, the civilians dodge the samurai, and the samurai don't pay attention to the civilians to know what's going on.

The team moved forward slowly, obviously starting to check their identities when they entered the city, but thinking about it, the city is the base camp of the Zichuan family, and it is not a good thing for outsiders to enter and exit casually. Of course, it is estimated that those who come to seek help will also be limited to only one place to move, and once there is a result, they will either fail and leave quickly, or they will succeed and become their own people.

Finally it was Zhang Zhongjun's turn, the middle-aged clerk who was in charge of checking the identity certificate, after seeing the identity document Zhang Zhongjun took out, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and his tone eased a lot. Obviously, the information that the person checked in advance last night has been reported, and the above has already made a decision.

Zhang Zhongjun knows very well that not to mention anything else, just his own identity, as long as he joins the office, he can exchange for the identity of a captain of the ashigaru.

After all, this Kurokawa Masantoku is the sister-in-law of the former governor of the Kurokawa family, a subordinate samurai family under the command of the Shinzuofeng family, the first samurai family in Kurokawa Gyeonggi. And this Kurokawa family is at the level of a village owner. Regardless of the fact that he is only a descendant of the previous family head, but in this status, just asking for a warrior is enough for any samurai family to reward a samurai status.

Zhang Zhongjun found that as long as it is a person dressed as a samurai, as long as the identity is passed, then there will be a ashigaru who will guide the way, and those civilian farmers, even if they pass the identity, they will have to raise a certain number of people on the side before they will be led away by an ashigaru.

Zhang Zhongjun understands very well that those guys who are civilian farmers, even if they are very capable, must start from ashigaru or miscellaneous labor.

It's not to underestimate them, it's a very simple thing, you are a person at the bottom of society, and you don't talk about whether you are literate or not, let alone the problem of your IQ and emotional intelligence, just a sufficient knowledge can make you and those samurai descendants a big distance.

Therefore, each samurai attaches importance to the descendants of the samurai and despises the descendants of the commoners, not only paying special attention to the interests of their own class, but also the descendants of the commoners who are behind at the starting line. It's just that such a person will naturally be absorbed by the samurai class and become a part of the samurai class.

When this person's descendants are concerned, they naturally exceed the starting line of the commoners, but this is also normal, didn't the earliest generation climb out like this? Generation after generation, the ordinary people behind must pay a greater price if they want to catch up, but they are willing to do it, because it is to let their descendants be able to come from generation to generation.

This is human nature, and who is not like that? Isn't it this simple reason for all ideals to be rooted in the end?
