Tokyo: The life of a literary giant begins with home self-defense!

Chapter 96: The Takeda Family's Past (Part )
After eating some yakitori and drinking some sake, Takeda Maki left early.

The woman got into the very high-end MPV, and Ryukawa Toru held up his face and looked at Takeda Takako who was wearing a gold leaf kimono.

"Won't she take us back?"

Ryukawa Toru and his group came from Yumotokan, which is on Yushima Island. They are now located in Amagi Mountain and it is still a long way to go back.

"Just live here." Takeda Takako rolled his eyes. He had just been very angry with his sister, and he didn't know how he had the nerve to ask her to take him back.

"Shuzenji is a famous hot spring resort, much better than Koizumi at Yumotokan. I'll recommend two to you later."

Taro Ono had not left yet. He rolled up his sleeves, drank a couple of glasses of sake from time to time, and smiled at Ryukawa Toru.

The two just chatted for a while. The current problem with "Snow Country" is that it is not recognized by mainstream literature. Under the influence of Ichitaro Miyako, the sales of "Snow Country" have also been greatly reduced.

It may seem scary that the books were sold out on the first day, but many people just bought one to join in the fun.

They may not necessarily like pure literature, and reader stickiness may not be high. The first month's sales have not yet come out.

“It would be nice if Snow Country could be published all at once.”

Taro Ono held the wine glass and glanced at Toru Ryukawa inconspicuously.

Publishing it all at once means submitting the remaining 40,000 words of the manuscript at once.

The first round of "Snow Country" is quite popular now because of the big fuss caused by Miya Makoto Ichitaro and his gang. It can be directly published as a single volume and become a best-seller.

Ryukawa Tetsu nodded and said, "If there's no problem with Shincho, then there's no problem with me."

Whether or not a writer can publish a single volume is a measure of whether his or her work is popular. Now that "Snow Country" is very popular, as long as Xinchao approves, the work can be printed and sold directly.

"Small things."

Taro Ono raised his eyebrows. The minister in his family was eager to take advantage of this popularity to achieve something.

The two discussed the royalties and copyrights and had a pleasant chat.

"But how are you going to deal with the matter of Monk Hongping?" Ono Taro suddenly asked in the middle of the conversation.

"Snow Country" can take advantage of this opportunity to become a best-seller, and Ryukawa Toru can also use this opportunity to gain a group of fans and readers.

But the writers in the literary world are always the most influential group of people.

If they continue to promote the idea that there are problems with Ryukawa Tetsu's articles for a long time, the sales of his subsequent works will definitely be affected.

Literature is about atmosphere.

You come across a new work of literature, but people around you keep saying it's not good.

Longchuan Che felt like half of the money in his wallet had grown wings and flew away.

“Credibility and reputation.”

Ryukawa Toru picked up the small cup and took a sip of Mrs. Takeda's sake.

“The literary world may be decided by that group for now, but various literary award publishers will also be involved.”

Ryukawa Toru's words made Ono Taro's eyes light up.

The influence of Ichitaro Miyamoto and his group is great, but the exposure and credibility of various literary awards are equally terrifying.

The reason why the Akutagawa Prize is the highest literary award in Japan is that it invites judges from all walks of life.

In addition to the consolation from the literary community, there were also editors-in-chief of publishing houses, officials from the Ministry of Education, and so on.

Basically, all literary awards cannot uphold one opinion.

As long as Longchuan Che's writing is good enough and what he writes is of high literary quality.

"Longchuan-kun, the future is ours!"

Taro Ono suddenly grabbed Toru Ryukawa's shoulders, startling the few customers in the store.

After chatting and eating, a few glasses of sake warmed my body up.

Mrs. Takeda took her wallet to pay, and Ono Taro glanced at the woman looking at the bill at the counter.

The lady was wearing a gold leaf kimono and her jet black hair was tied into a bun.

The posture is charming and the look is lively.

Ono Taro turned to Ryukawa Toru.

"Longchuan-kun, what is your relationship?"

There was some gossip in the conversation, but Ono Taro had no choice but to gossip.

When he first met Longchuan Tetsu, it was obvious that Longchuan Tetsu was a foster child, but the intimate posture between them just now was obviously not serious.

"Gossip."

"Why did you scold Miss Takeda?" "I meant you."

Ryukawa Toru looked at Ono Taro with a strange expression. This man slapped Tanaka Koizumi as soon as they met, and was anxious when he called. Now he is like a gossip.

"None of you intellectuals are normal."

The boy's words made Ono Taro look resentful. If he hadn't been asking Ryukawa Toru to bring some new atmosphere to the literary world, he would have rolled up his sleeves by now.

"Ms. Takeda is also a pitiful person."

He clinked his wine glass with Ryukawa Tetsu's. Winter sake is cold and refreshing, and it's easy to drink too much if you're not careful.

Taro Ono held up his wine glass and pointed at the woman who was bargaining with the store owner.

"Who would have thought that the second daughter of the Takeda family would be like this now?"

The beauty of a woman's life, arguing over a few side dishes that haven't been served yet.

Faintly, I could hear the words "I haven't eaten yet." and "I'll give you more next time."

The woman may be a little stupid, but after living by a lake in the mountains for more than ten years, she will still be frugal in some areas where she can be frugal.

After raising two children with 9 million, there is still 200,000 left.

Longchuan Che picked up two edamame and ate two beans.

"How did the Takeda family fall?"

Longchuan Che asked his wife something that she was unwilling to tell him some time ago.

"This is amazing,"

Ono Taro's expression became a little sneaky. He looked around cautiously and then moved closer to Ryukawa Toru.

"It's about my teacher."

Ono Taro's teacher is the old man from the Kujo family.

The editor's words caused a few drops of wine to spill from Longchuan Che's hand, and the boy glanced at the editor inconspicuously.

"continue."

The boy spoke calmly, as if he was just casually chatting about gossip with his friends.

Taro Ono put an edamame in his mouth and dragged the bench towards Toru Ryukawa.

"You know about the economic bubble, right?"

The nonsense made Longchuan Che roll his eyes.

Japan's economy expanded rapidly before the Heisei era, and then suddenly collapsed in the 1990s.

The consequence of the collapse was the bankruptcy of a large number of companies and the rapid depreciation of the Japanese yen.

During that period, Japan's suicide rate soared.

"Everyone, including the Japanese government, was hit hard, but only one family rose to prominence and even became the largest family in Japan. Guess who it is?"

"Nine?"

Longchuan Che looked at the other person.

The Five Regents of Japan gradually disappeared from the public eye after the Meiji Restoration.

The nobles did not disappear, they just hid behind Japan.

Among these families, the most powerful were the nobles and aristocrats in the old days.

Business, politics, people's livelihood.

Many people don’t know that the famous three-diamond logo in heavy industry is also the crest of a certain family.

The nobles are respected by the families of dukes and ministers, and the dukes and ministers are powerful by the families of the Five Regents.

Among them, there are nine, Konoe is in the first two, One, Two, and Takashi is in the last three.

Although there are differences between these companies, they are not particularly large. But listen to what the other party is saying now.

"Kujo defeated Konoe? How did he do that?"

If I remember correctly, the Konoe family had produced a Japanese prime minister before. In this era when the emperor was powerless, that was almost the pinnacle of a country.

Longchuan Tetsu was puzzled, and then Ono Taro swallowed and said softly:

"Kujo Fujitaka, my teacher."

"Taking advantage of the financial crisis, they devoured thirty-seven ancient noble families, including the Takeda family."
