Ever since the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the announcement of the country's defeat in World War II, Japan has been plunged into a state of turmoil, as if all the disasters had been on Japanese soil

The country is not only economically corrupted, but also encounters a ****** that has been silent for a hundred years, and in such an environment, those literati who usually talk loudly have no interest in talking with each other, because most people have to think about their stomachs.

There has not even been any decent literati activity in the country during these two years, but this has changed recently.

A few months ago, a group of literati were pleasantly surprised to see a message about the contest held by the Tokyo Sakura Group in the Tokyo Mainichi Shimbun, which not only invited four Japanese masters to judge, but also gave the organizer a prize of one million yuan.

This grand event not only allowed the participants to actively participate, but also attracted their eyes tightly, and everyone was watching the progress of the game closely.

For this competition, everyone privately believes that this is a call for breath to recover, and the two-year-long ice period is finally about to break the ice.

Now that the two-month-long primary election period has finally passed, a group of scholars have finally seen the list of primary candidates in the new newspaper on September 1, and a group of literati have secretly discussed this preliminary list.

Of course, this discussion is not limited to others, but also to others, such as Chuo Ward in Tokyo (on March 15, 1947, Nihonbashi Ward and Kyobashi Ward were merged to form Chuo Ward, and later Chuo Ward was called in the book). In the castle tower of the island in the middle of the lake, Chi Shang Zhenyi is discussing the list with the eight wives of the family.

"Shanai, Sha Cai, these are the names that the two of you recommended for selection, but it's really not good?" Chi Shang Zhenyi asked his two wives with a manuscript with "Gintaro Conquering Demons" written on it.

This contest was originally initiated by Chi Shang Zhenyi with his own wives as the starting point, so when he was reviewing, he deliberately allocated 40 places among the 150 primary selection places to his eight wives, and he also selected ten of his favorites, and the remaining 100 were judged by the four great writers.

Originally, the judging quota of my wives didn't need so much. But just in time for Minako and Shioko to come over on summer vacation, the two girls naturally won't lag behind for such an interesting thing, so the two girls happily joined the jury.

(As mentioned earlier in the summer vacation for Japanese students, from the end of July to the end of September.) Now repeat it. ）

For the jury of his eight wives, Chi Shang Zhenyi was still a little worried, afraid that they would randomly select and let some messy articles be selected, which would affect the reputation of the competition. After all, this competition represents their Sakura Group.

But later it turned out that Richi Shang was really careful, and the works they selected were even a little better than his vision, after all, his vision was a little different from the people of this era, which can be seen from the "Legend of Kintaro Slaying the Dragon".

The works that came out of the eight wives review strips are generally satisfied with Chi Shang's true intentions, but the only one that makes him feel a little awkward, is the "Gintaro Demon Suppression" that he is holding now

How does Chi Shang really feel about this, it seems that the previous "The Legend of Kintaro Slaying the Dragon" was made by an author, and the names are all so vulgar.

Baidi Shacai, who was kneeling with his sisters, pouted and said, "Husband, you are not an excellent work." ”

"This "Gintaro Demon Slaying Story" is indeed written by the author of the previous "Kintaro Dragon Slayer". I know you're not interested in that, husband, but that doesn't overshadow the brilliance of this one. ”

"Now this "Gintaro Demon Slaying Story", in my opinion, is better than the previous "Kintaro Dragon Slayer", which has been unanimously evaluated by me and Sister Sanai, husband, you can't deny our eyesight. In the end, Baidi Shacai pulled the sister next to him to help.

After hearing the words of her little sister, Sha Nai Baiji, who was sitting solemnly on the side, immediately opened her mouth to show support: "Sha Cai is right, this "Gintaro Demon Conquering Story" has indeed been carefully reviewed by our sisters, and this story is particularly touching, and we see our Japanese dedication in the story. ”

"The protagonist of the story, Gintaro, wants to subdue the demons. Not only is it burdened with the ridicule and incomprehension of others, but it is also a journey of demon subjugation despite the pain of the death of a family member, and my sister and I think that this book contains profound humanistic and educational significance, and it is a very rare and excellent work. Baichi Sana put a halo on the work of himself and his sister with a tight face.

After listening to the words of the two wives. Chi Shang Zhenyi immediately felt that this piece of "Gintaro Demon Suppression" was really a lot taller, and he even felt that he should also come and learn about the profound humanistic education in the story, or no one would be really sorry for this masterpiece.

"Ahem, cough, cough~~~"

After coughing a few times, Chi Shang genuinely turned to Minako and Shioko, and said, "Minako, Shioko." Have you two contacted your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

"Let them come and help, the economic situation in all parts of Japan is not very good, and they should not be living well in Okayama Prefecture, I read the newspaper earlier that the security in Okayama Prefecture is getting worse and worse because of the large number of refugees in Hiroshima. ”

"And the economy has become worse and worse in the past two years, and even a while ago there was a situation in society where money could not buy things, so let them come. ”

The reason why Chi Shang Zhenyi suddenly asked Minako and Shioko to contact his parents, in addition to the reasons just mentioned, the most important thing is that he feels that there are too few people available in his hands now, and now the six subordinates under him are already busy with work, and his subordinates are already short of manpower.

Kumaji Yamada is responsible for the security inside and outside the castle, and controls all the security forces on the surface of Chi Shang Zhenyi, and now all the factories related to cherry blossoms are all in charge of the security inside by Yamada's side.

Under the instruction of Chi Shang Zhenyi, Yamada Kumiji has reorganized the guard team in his hands into Sakura Security Company, and now he not only takes care of the safety in the castle every day, but also inspects the security status of various factories from time to time, and he is very busy every day.

Compared with the busy Kumaji Yamada, Koji Iguchi is not easy now, and even reports back to the castle once a week. Now he is working hard to get into the affairs of the party, and in March this year the Japan Progressive Party was reorganized into the Democratic Party of Japan.

Now that many things in the party are relatively chaotic, this is the right time for newcomers to take the lead, under the leadership of Kishigero Bihara. Koji Iguchi is expected to be co-opted as a party lawmaker next year, and now is a critical moment for him.

Koji Iguchi is busy drilling camps in the party, and Miura Castle, who was sent to officialdom with Chi Shang Zhenyi, has also been very busy recently.

In March of this year, Miura Castle took advantage of Nihonbashi to merge with Kyobashi Ward. With the relationship of someone behind him, he got the position of the stationmaster of the Central District Railway Station in one fell swoop, which is quite powerful at present.

In order to secure his current position, Miura Castle has been working hard for a while recently, except for a week's necessary report, the rest of the time is busy outside.

Compared with those three people, Kojima Masashi has been even more busy recently, because of Chi Shang's sincere awareness, the Sakura Group has continuously expanded its business to the outside world, opening an instant noodle factory, a ham sausage factory, a biscuit factory, and a seafood processing factory, and now it has acquired three printing houses, newspaper offices, and bookstores. And also to take care of the competitions that are taking place.

With so many factories all on his own, he now not only needs to manage these factories, but also needs to squeeze out some of his little time to study.

Because Kojima is finding that the burden on his body is getting heavier and heavier, he feels that he is getting a little more and more difficult to cope with the complicated work, so he is now following the instructions of his own adult, starting to read and recharge, and he is busy all day in the dark.

Compared with Kumaji Yamada, Koji Iguchi, Castle Miura, and Masashi Kojima, Tetsu Koi, who was far away in Hokkaido, opened a map for the Chi Sho family, and it was not easy at all, because there was no one to take with him when he went out, and now the work progress in Hokkaido is quite difficult.

It's been more than nine months. Tetsu Koi's side had just finished rebuilding the devastated Lake Toya area, and it was only with the help of a number of special units that helped him.

As for the other fiefdoms under Chi Shang Zhenyi, Koi Zhe just went there for a turn, and he couldn't talk about any control at the moment. Because there are simply not enough people.

Compared to the busyness of these five subordinates, Yagoro on the other side of Mt. Fuji is a little better, but it is not much better.

Yagoro was ordered by Ikeshojin to enclose land at the end of the ruins under Mt. Fuji, and then built a castle to cover the entrance to the ruins.

The construction of the castle was completed in June, and the castle was called a tourist resort castle, mainly to prevent others from saying that Ikesho really intended to occupy more land.

After the castle was built, Yagoro thought that he would be separated from the girl Kusunoki Kiyoizumi who had just gotten along. Unexpectedly, he was sent back by Chi Shang Zhenyi just after he came back, and asked him to be responsible for contacting Nanmujia, responsible for the external shipping of the Sakura Group, and transporting the group's factories externally, and now he is floating on the sea all day long.

The six generals under his command are busy every day without touching the ground, Chi Shangzhenyi's eyes turned back and forth, and he found that in addition to the eight wives around him, there was no one to rely on, even if the Gao Shan brothers were reliable and trusting, but the identity of these two people was a problem, and many things could not let these two people come forward.

Although the eight wives are credible, Chi Shangzhen is reluctant to let his wives show up and work hard, and women are not very suitable for showing up in this era, and young women are even more inappropriate.

After searching back and forth like this, Chi Shang Zhenyi set his eyes on his two pairs of fathers-in-law and mother-in-law, for him, it is better to let his two pairs of father-in-law and mother-in-law eat bran outside, it is better to pull him under his own hands and let him take charge of a mess.

Chi Shang Zhenyi can not only give his father-in-law and mother-in-law a better life, but the other party can also help him, and the two are a perfect complement.

Chi Shang Zhenyi knows that his two pairs of father-in-law and mother-in-law are well-educated people, and their minds are more flexible than many people in society, and such talents are suitable for pulling over to manage the factory for themselves, and because they are their sons-in-law, they should also trust each other more.

It is precisely because of this that Chi Shang really intended to let Minako and Shioko contact their respective parents after they came over for the summer vacation, hoping that the other party could come over soon.

Hearing her husband's question, Minako and Shioko, who were kneeling at the bottom, glanced at each other, and the eyes of both sisters were filled with joy.

For Minako and Shioko, it's best to be able to be with both her husband and her parents, and it would be even more perfect if they could get married in the future, they didn't expect their parents to dominate the castle, as long as they could come to Tokyo, so it would be much easier for them to meet their parents in the future.

In the past, because they were worried that their husbands would think too much, Minako and Shioko didn't mention letting their parents come to Tokyo, for fear that this would cause their husbands' opinions.

Their parents also told Minako and Shioko about this in private, telling them that the women they married couldn't always think about the family, that kind of women wouldn't like men, and that they didn't need to help themselves even if their lives were difficult.

For what their parents said, Minako and Xizi have always kept it in their hearts, and they dare not forget it for a moment, but now it's different, and now it's their husbands who ask their parents to come over to help, where do they still have a reason to refuse.

Able to get their parents out of the difficult environment to come to Tokyo, Minako and Shioko didn't have too much reason at all, and quickly contacted the family by phone, and after some persuasion, their parents all agreed to come to Tokyo to help their son-in-law, saying that they would take the train to Tokyo after packing up their belongings.

"Husband, please rest assured, yesterday my parents and I called to tell us that we would come over when we were done with the matter at hand, and it is estimated that we will be here in Tokyo around mid-September. Minako Ueno's soft voice said to her husband.

Chi Shang, who was sitting upright, heard Minako's wife say that her father-in-law and mother-in-law would arrive in the middle of the month, and sighed slightly in her heart: "There is finally going to be manpower, and this should temporarily alleviate the shortage of manpower." ’
