the world is at stake

The streets of the town and city were surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. The surrounding people all rushed over to watch the excitement, and the policemen who maintained order were sweating profusely.

The Dazheng family wanted to cry but had no tears, but they wanted to leave but couldn't.The attendants of the palace hall panicked and knelt in front of Zhou Qingfeng, begging to show the emperor some face.

But the pickets and political commissars sent by the Japanese Communist Party rejoiced, their faces flushed with excitement, and they wished they could kick Dazheng into the sewer.

The crowd of onlookers chatted with each other, not knowing how to describe their mood at the moment.It is a bit exaggerated to say that the heart is full of joy, but it is inevitable to subvert cognition.

Only then did the officials of the Environmental Sanitation Department know that they had encountered a problem, and they knelt on the ground and bled from their foreheads, vowing to rectify immediately—how could Zhou Qingfeng let it go so easily, and vowed to be useful, what else should he do?

Local residents, sanitation workers, department officials, and the indispensable Taisho, sat down to discuss together, and must come up with an overall sanitation plan for Tokyo—you can’t think about it, and Uncle Zhou is reviewing it.

When the news reached the prime minister's office, Miura shook his head at the officials who came to inform him and asked him to come forward to stop him, "You should think about how to do your job properly.

Next, Secretary Zhou will take the emperor around.His goal was simple, to establish his own prestige and to undermine the image of the emperor.If you really want to help His Majesty the Emperor, you have to do your job well. "

It is said that people are too strongly motivated, like being whipped.When Zhou Qingfeng coerced the emperor to order all the officials, it was as if the entire Tokyo bureaucracy was shattered, as if he had experienced a brutal battle.

The Environmental Sanitation Department was the first to be unlucky and became the focus of attention.The next day, the public transport department was dragged to accept the whip, demanding to solve the needs of the public in travel difficulties.

The next day, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare took a group of high-ranking officials to a silk reeling workshop full of potion smell and steaming heat because of employee medical and work-related injury insurance issues.

The silk reeling workshop is stuffy and hot, it's really not a place for people to stay.Within half an hour after Dazheng entered, he couldn't help but tell Zhou Qingfeng, "The environment here is really terrible."

"However, female silk reelers have to work twelve or even sixteen hours a day in this environment. Not only are they poorly paid, but they will be fired immediately if they are injured or ill."

Zhou Qingfeng spoke angrily.

"We all know that we need to invest huge sums of money to improve technology, provide a comfortable working environment and sufficient wages, so that workers can work for a long time and have money to consume more industrial products.

Today's Japan is not as good as China in the protection of labor rights and interests. The wealth squeezed out flows into the pockets of a few people. It is no wonder that the people at the bottom are willing to go with you. "

The bureaucrats in Tokyo are scolded bloody. If they encounter snakes and scorpions, the officials will live in dire straits.Many long-standing malpractices have been eradicated in a few days, and even officials have lost a lot of politeness when speaking.

Because it was a waste of time, it was really arranged to pick up big shit.

Apart from the panic and discomfort at the beginning, the residents of Tokyo gradually discovered that the Secretary of the 'East Discipline Inspection Commission' is indeed a strong and decisive person-although his way of doing things is not very good, he can really solve problems.

The signboard of the 'Tokyo District Disciplinary Inspection Committee' is resounding.

Chapter 52 The Bottom Layer

Tokyo, Shibuya Ward.

The current urban area of ​​Tokyo is far from the scale of later generations, and Shibuya is actually a suburb.

There is no grotesque Ginza Street in later generations, and no pop culture sweeping the world.There are also no compensated dating women wearing masks and winter clothes on the upper body and stockings on the lower body.

Some are villages, farmland, and a small number of town buildings.

After Zhou Qingfeng took charge of the 'East Discipline Inspection Commission', he moved the office out of the central area of ​​Tokyo and built a building in the Shibuya area.Before the building is completed, the staff of the rapidly expanding organization can only be wronged to work and live in the simple room.

But since the "East Discipline Inspection Commission" was listed here, ditches were dug and canals were built, roads were laid and wires were laid, the troubles here have attracted the attention of the whole of Japan.Because this is the real center of power.

The original Japanese public service system has become a policy enforcement agency, and the 'East Commission for Discipline Inspection' is not only 'disciplinary inspection', but also responsible for 'personnel appointments'.The legitimacy of its power comes from the Japanese Communist Party, which has continuously strengthened its power and penetrated into the grassroots.

Beginning at the end of February, Zhou Qingfeng started his trip to Japan with Emperor Taisho.He hasn't been around Tokyo enough, he's still around all over Japan.

For more than half a year, Sendai, Osaka, Kyoto, and Nagoya were full of footprints of the two 'emperors'.Most of the outside world thought that Uncle Zhou was doing this to attack the emperor's majesty in Japan.But actually...

After Qin Qing found out about this, he told the truth inside the 'Sacred Light'——Zhou Qingfeng was actually afraid of death, and holding Dazheng together could avoid many unnecessary troubles, and also made some people who were just about to make trouble throw their hands at the mouse and dispel the idea of ​​turmoil.

From March to September, people all over Japan can listen to the news of the "leadership is busy" section from newspapers or radio every day, just like watching a play.

The news headlines are always where Secretary Zhou and His Majesty the Emperor appear, and they are investigating a certain situation, or investigating and punishing certain illegal acts, or visiting certain impoverished groups.

According to Secretary Zhou’s words, “If the Japanese people fail to feel that their lives are getting better and better, it proves that our work has failed too much and will lead to instability in Sino-Japanese relations.”

This may sound like an official statement to outsiders, but from the internal reference manuscript written by the "Old Master" in the imperial capital, it can be seen that the "Holy Light" team is serious about China's penetration and influence in Japan.

"Using a foreign race to rule a country is either tyrannical like the Mongols, or cautious like the Qing Dynasty. Tyranny must learn from the United States, and kill the Indians to the very few remaining, otherwise hatred is inevitable.

But being cautious is not enough.The Manchu Qing Dynasty was able to rule China for nearly 300 years. It has its credit for being cautious and cautious, but in the end it still fell apart and was destroyed once. "

According to the concept of "Old Master Q", if you want to swallow Japan, you must master a higher level of productivity and absorb Japanese culture with a higher level of civilization.

At the same time, we can't engage in differential treatment, and we must show some sincerity in exchange for the hearts of the people.If China's rule is not as good as the old warlords and old bureaucrats, it is a super-sized Soviet Union, and the Japanese people will definitely rebel in the end.

Not only in Japan, there are also millions of Russians in the Far East, and tens of millions of local indigenous people in Southeast Asia.If the National Defense Forces expand westward, the ethnic conflicts in Central Asia will become more intense.

Japan is an experimental field, and it is necessary to boldly try out the policy of ethnic assimilation—the American-style massacre will no longer work, nor will the Soviet Union's method of ethnic division. China should learn from the "historical lessons" and choose a new path that is inclusive.

The 'East Commission for Discipline Inspection' has grown from more than 1000 people to [-]. The key work is to supervise officials, implement policies, and listen to the opinions of the people.

Is there a specific effect...

In the block opposite the 'East Discipline Inspection Commission', there is a foreign restaurant with a business area of ​​only a dozen square meters, and five or six diners are crowded in front of the narrow 'back'-shaped desk.

Japanese Western Food House is a western restaurant, but this simple Western Food House has a superficial appearance.Each person has only a two-foot-square table top, with dinner plates and wine cups on them.

The boss originally opened the 'Remnant Food House'. At the beginning of the year, he remodeled the small shop and changed the signboard.

Two small windows were opened in the dark room, and a dim light bulb was lit at night.Clean up the corners, and the back kitchen is no longer a stinky wooden barrel containing "food" from the sewer, but a hot pot and stove.

The customers are still the original ones, such as porters, construction workers, elderly women, and poor farmers.When they were free, they came in to order some simple food and chat about the current situation.

The owner of the foreign food shop also served as the cook himself, and handed some plates of roasted bird meat skewers to the porter coolies.The other party nodded and thanked, and then asked, "Mr. Xiao Lin really used a loan to open this foreign restaurant?"

"Yes." The boss and cook rubbed his hands on the apron and said in a deep voice, "It's the newly opened 'China-Japan Friendship Bank' next to the 'East Discipline Inspection Commission'.

I got a three-year loan of 240 yen, and the annual interest is only [-]%, which is very favorable.Mr. Nomura from the bank also helped me contact the food supplier, and also helped with the renovation of the restaurant. I really want to thank him very much. "

The porter coolie raised his head and looked at the simple and shabby foreign food shop.The counter is still old and slightly patched up.The stools are second-hand goods from nowhere, and they are of different heights.

The back kitchen is separated by a curtain, and the stove and kitchen utensils inside are new, which can be regarded as the most expensive investment.The proprietress is responsible for cooking the fire and preparing the dishes. For example, the roasted bird skewers need to be marinated.

From the perspective of later generations, the fire protection and sanitation in this place are really worrying. It belongs to the type that even the fines are waived, and the store is directly closed.But compared to the Canfan House before, this condition is much better.

The restaurant has improved, but what really keeps this restaurant going is the increase in the income of the surrounding residents, who can come to the restaurant to consume, and can afford chicken roasted birds, cooked shrimp and sushi.

Occasionally, there are people who are willing to come to eat a piece of fried pork cutlet with sake. They are considered high-end customers, which is a super huge consumption upgrade and a manifestation of rapid economic development.

The porter was a coolie in his thirties, and asked a few more questions about loans, especially mortgages and guarantees.

"As a mortgage, I can only use my house as a mortgage." The boss explained: "However, it is more troublesome to make a guarantee. You must accept the background check of the police station and find a party member who is willing to provide a guarantee."

"If you can't find a party member who is willing to guarantee you, you have to find a way to join the party. The 'China-Japan Friendship Bank' can provide small unsecured loans to party members." The boss shook his head after finishing speaking, "but it is difficult to join the party now. "

The Japanese Communist Party developed rapidly.However, the number of party members is not large, less than [-] in the whole country, and they all have to undergo strict tests and selections.

The boss asked back: "What does Mr. Song Gang want to borrow for?"

"A few friends and I want to buy a truck. Recently, light trucks from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries can be bought for only 1000 or [-] yen. Just transporting them to the port will definitely make a lot of money."

The coolies who carry the goods obviously don't want to carry them all their lives, but they still have brains.When it comes to loans and making money, the atmosphere of conversation in the small store becomes intense.

A farmer talked about his wish to start a chicken farm. Instead of using a loan, his funds came from his relatives who were working in China.

"My nephew was conscripted into the army the year before last, but he was captured while fighting in North Korea. He is an electromechanical soldier and is currently in charge of setting up a communication network in North Korea.

He will write to us every month, saying that he is living a good life and is preparing to obtain a Chinese communication engineer qualification certificate. At present, he can earn [-] yen a month, and he can basically save it.

He also told me that now is the right time to start a chicken farm. The production of corn in Northeast China and soybeans in northern Xinjiang is increasing year by year, and the price of feed in Japan will definitely decrease.

In addition, the government is promoting agricultural reform and supporting farmers to engage in breeding. After all, Japan has too little arable land, and there is no way to get rich by farming. "

At present, all countries maintain the gold standard, and the exchange rate between the yen and the dollar is 2:1.A monthly salary of [-] yen is nothing in the United States, but it is really a high salary in Japan.

Newly enlisted privates in the Japanese army are given a 700-yen allowance, and [-] yen is the monthly salary of a minor officer.Everyone in the restaurant praised the good job earning more than [-] yen a year in low voices, but there was a cold snort from the corner.

Someone whispered dissatisfiedly, "Ignorant idiots, China took all the money from Japan. You are making money for the Chinese, so should you be grateful?"

Diners at the table know who is talking without turning their heads.

Mrs. Takeshita of the nearby elementary school is a dangerous person who always spreads terrible words.Of course, he can't stir up any storms, let alone create turmoil.

Takeshita was fired as a teacher for spreading bad words in class, and the neighborhood police warned him several times.But as long as he doesn't talk nonsense in class, he still has his freedom of speech.

"For your ostrich-like thinking, I have written an article to refute it in the newspaper, and it has been published in the Asahi Shimbun today."

Takeshita proudly took out a newspaper from the pocket of his crumpled suit, and specially read it to everyone in the restaurant.His behavior looked righteous, but it was actually a bit funny.

'East Commission for Discipline Inspection' is a little good, it can accept criticism.And the criticism is in place, it also likes it very much, and is very happy.This is due to Zhou Qingfeng's own personality. He knows how much he is, and he doesn't have any great talents.

From time to time, you can see some critical articles on the news media, and the quality is particularly high.Responsive articles either admit flaws and seek improvement; or sharply refute and hit the nail on the head.

Takeshita lost his job as an elementary school teacher, and he was able to support his family by writing critical articles for various newspapers—the key is that the articles must be based on facts, not just nonsense, and the words should not be radical.

For Takeshita's noble appearance, the diners of the Western Food House were very unhappy, but it was difficult to refute him on the moral high ground, so...

Someone mocked deliberately: "Mr. Takeshita, if you are talented, why do you want to be crowded with poor people like us?"

Takeshita didn't bother to answer, and lowered his head to drink his sake.

Someone else shouted loudly: "Takeshita, I heard that your previous articles have been rejected, and you were squeezed out by your own members of the 'Zunhuang faction'."

This remark elicited roars of laughter, and made Takeshita very annoyed—when he found out that being a critic was safe and profitable, he criticized the industry for its rapid involution.

In order to publish articles, the 'Zunhuang faction' often quarrels for a space.In the eyes of the public, it seems that the arguments are different and contradict each other, and the lower limit has to be lowered in order to win attention.

In contrast, the propaganda of the Japanese Communist Party has theoretical guidance and internal coordination. Although many words are disliked by ordinary people, they have to admit that they are more reasonable and feasible.

"What do you ignorant people know?" Takeshita was annoyed, "How can it be called 'rejection' about scholars? It's just 'rejection for revision', and it can still be published after correction."

Next came words such as "Heavenly Trouble Black Card", "Japanese Lu Chen", "Foolish People Numbness", "Chinese Wolf's Ambition", which filled the restaurant with joy.

Chapter 53 The Bitterness of Life

The deeper the night, the more lively the restaurant is.

At present, the freshness of ingredients is poor, and the food of the day must be sold on the same day, otherwise it will easily go bad the next day.So at night, the price of food in the Western Food House will be reduced.

The lower the price, the more diners and the higher the sales.At ten o'clock in the night, the 'Hui Zi' desk was crowded with people.Because the seats are full, there are even people waiting in line outside the store.

In the western food shop, bean paste bread costs two cents, half the size of a palm.A plate of dried tofu costs five cents, and it is accompanied by three cents of roasted potatoes. It can barely fill one's stomach, but it lacks fat, so it doesn't matter how full it is.

Compared with the wartime, the price of food in Japan has been reduced by more than half.The food supply from China is sufficient, and the cost of transporting rice and soybeans from Vladivostok in northern Xinjiang is very low, and the pressure on people's lives is much less.

In addition, the meat yield of high-quality white-feathered chickens is very high, and all countries in the world are simultaneously developing the chicken industry.This has resulted in cheap chicken and 'yakitori' meat skewers that always sell out and are a favorite of the masses.

The chrysanthemum-patterned curtain of the western food restaurant is raised from time to time, and diners come in and out, chatting a few words before leaving after eating.Only Takeshita sitting in the corner sat still, writing manuscripts by the ten-watt light bulb on the desk.

From time to time, the lady proprietress would bring out the food ordered by the customers from the back kitchen, and she would give Takeshita a few vicious glances, only hating why this down-and-out guy didn't leave and delayed other guests' meals.

The boss signaled his wife not to start a dispute with his eyes, he knew the reason why Takeshita didn't leave - this guy specializes in writing some market news, and he likes to find materials in places with a lot of traffic.Moreover, there is no electric light in his home, so he cannot write manuscripts at night.

Another reason for not rushing Takeshita was that he ordered a bottle of sake—although it was a counterfeit sake brewed from sugar cane from Southeast Asia, but the price was [-] yen.Compared to other diners who spend only a few cents, he is considered generous.

But Takeshita stayed for too long, the plate in front of his table had already been taken away, and the low-quality sake in the small wine cup was drank clean, but there were only a few wrinkled manuscript paper left on the greasy table, and nothing of value was written. Word.

Japan has been undefeated and defeated for a year, and the society has gradually stabilized.Countless angles that can be criticized have already been written by countless people. If you write a car wheel, newspapers and radio stations will reject the manuscript.

The public needs some fresh rhetoric.

The 'critic' is very annoying, he must write something different, otherwise he will not be able to compete with other 'respecting the emperor' for the right to speak, and naturally there will be no source of income.

The boss is also a little impatient with Takeshita's long sitting.He gave the other party a small dish of 'Salt Boiled Branch Beans' and asked, "What else does Takeshita-kun need?"

"Zhidou" is edamame, and there are only a dozen or so unpeeled pods in the small dish, which is really "free gift", which means let Takeshita pay after eating and leave quickly.

But Takeshita was thick-skinned. He knew that the boss couldn't really drive him away, so he frowned and asked, "Mr. Xiao Lin, what topic do you think can resonate with the society at the moment?"

If you want to be a blockbuster and have something to say, this article is very difficult.The owner of the Western Food Shop shook his head angrily, "I have nothing to complain about at the moment, so I don't know how to answer you."

"How come? You don't have any difficulties?"

The word 'difficulty' stunned the boss, he stayed for a few seconds, and said: "Every morning at four o'clock, I have to ride a tricycle to the market to buy ingredients, if I go half an hour late, I won't be able to pick the freshest and best.

At [-]:[-], Aiko and I will serve breakfast bentos to a nearby construction site.We have to make all the preparations, push the food truck to the sale, and it will end at nine o'clock.But I can't rest yet, I have to continue to work on lunch.

Aiko and I will have some free time to catch up on sleep until around two o'clock in the afternoon.But around six o'clock, the busy dinner will start again, until twelve o'clock in the night.

My place is not only a western food restaurant, but also an izakaya, and a convenience store.I hope to pay off my debts as soon as possible, and I will do almost any business that can make money.This goes on and on, all year round. "

Takeshita used to be an elementary school teacher, so he really doesn't know the hard work of running a small restaurant.He asked in a deep voice: "So Mr. Xiao Lin is oppressed by debts and cannot bear it?"

The boss shook his head.

Takeshita continued to ask: "Do you need to hire a helper?"

The boss laughed and shook his head even more.

"But you've worked so hard, don't you want to relax?" Takeshita showed a confused face, "Aren't you dissatisfied?"

The proprietress heard this conversation clearly in the back kitchen, couldn't bear it anymore, walked out angrily, and shouted at Takeshita in a low voice: "Mr. Takeshita, do you really know what hard work is?

When you were an elementary school teacher in the past, you only needed to take a few classes a day, and you could earn fifty or sixty yen a month. This is what we used to earn from the operation of the Cantonese House for half a year.

Do you know where the cannibals come from?It comes from the sewers of restaurants and Chinese backyards in Tokyo.We pray that leftovers are not dumped down the drain.As long as it is in a wooden barrel, we are willing to pay a little more for it.
