Red sand dust

The day after the important meeting, Daimaru sat in the lounge specially prepared for himself on the highest floor of the "Tongzi Building". He put aside some thoughts for the time being, recalling his gains in the past year, and thinking about the next steps. What to do in a year.

The wall behind the desk was replaced by Daimaru with a large area of ​​tempered glass, paired with double-layer curtains with silver-gray blackout cloth and simple light red gauze. After being opened, most of the scenery of Sunagakure Village can be taken in from a high position. eye.

Daimaru also only mentioned some ideas to modify the decoration, and was promoted by Daimaru. Hashiya Aika, who works part-time as a housekeeper, although she is a bit introverted, Daimaru still appreciates her aesthetics. The ninja talent may not be enough to support her in combat ability. Although he is very expressive, his reserved and cautious character is suitable for presiding over some management work that requires patience.

There is just one thing. A little girl who is a little weak is easily influenced by her family. She comes from a commoner family and is not very wealthy. As she gets older, her parents are limited in their knowledge and do not support her in the second line. The ninja has gone too far in his work, so he is advised to find a promising young ninja to marry as soon as possible, and after he retires, he will have a husband and raise children.

The little girl who doesn't know how to refuse has been experiencing some decline in her work status recently, which bothers Daimaru.

In a similar situation, there are several people under Daimaru who have finally been cultivated into talents and are able to stand alone. How can they be let go so easily?

But this kind of thing cannot be refused forcefully, and it is much more difficult for female ninjas to deal with public and private issues than male ninjas.

Even if there are no labor laws, women's rights organizations, etc. in Sunagakure Village, there are still some real troubles that need to be faced and cannot be avoided.

Regarding matters of principle, only Daimaru, the leader, can make decisions and set rules. The stalls are set up, and there will be more and more such thorny things in the future, especially for the emerging groups established by Daimaru, who need to eliminate the hidden dangers in the running-in process one by one.

"It's not easy to handle. I really hope some people who are proficient in business management and human resources can come to help!" It’s still too slow to rely on your own subordinates to hone your growth! 』

The cold wind that has been blowing for more than half a month has finally subsided a little today, giving the villagers the opportunity to go out shopping and prepare to celebrate the New Year.

Looking down from a high position, the windy long street is full of bustling people.

As if aware of the long-lost vibrancy of Sunagakure Village, a lot more business travelers came from other places in a hurry, bringing a lot of vitality to this village that had not experienced prosperity for a long time.

Such a scene made Daimaru feel a little melancholy. He reached out to pick up the steaming tea on the table, took a few sips with satisfaction, and then frowned slightly.

"The tea leaves...are a bit stale!" 』

For more than a year, Daimaru's hobby of making and drinking tea has gradually formed his own set of judgment standards, and his taste has become more and more picky.

There are almost no local agricultural specialties in the Country of Wind. Daimaru has built several small melon and fruit tree experimental bases near Awaji Village. The daily output is not enough to supply his own people, so how is it possible to sell them?

People who do not live in grasslands or desert areas may not know that the less developed agriculture is, the more urgent the demand for tea.

Due to the lack of cereal grains, the dietary structure of the villagers in the Country of Winds has seriously exceeded the standard of fat content in meat. They urgently need to consume plant protein, cellulose, etc., and maintain the habit of drinking tea in moderation, which will be of great benefit to the people of the desert.

Of course, the vast majority of villagers in Sunagakure can only afford shoddy and inferior tea bricks, which can be used in various ways. Only a handful of people like Daimaru spend their free time pondering the tea ceremony.

"When the deal with the tailed beast is concluded, let's increase the import of tea. By the way, we can introduce tea species from the land of tea and see if we can cultivate and improve a few local varieties. Daily sales are in urgent need and consumption upgrades. It should be a big deal." Business! 』

Daimaru, who had finalized a "trivial" industrial layout plan while thinking, suddenly saw the communicator light on the desktop turn on, Daimaru pressed the call button, and Hashiya Aika's soft voice came over.

"Daimaru-senpai, Miss Shana is here..."

"Take him to the reception room, I'll be there in a minute!"

After ending the brief call, Daimaru sat for a while, adjusted his mentality a little, opened the door, and prepared to deal with some things.

A few minutes later, Daimaru saw Shana, whom he hadn't seen for a while.

"I kept you waiting for so long! Why didn't your sister come?"

"Maybe... I don't want to see you now!"

"Sure enough, the eldest lady has a bad temper, she is so willful!"

Daimaru chuckled, not paying attention to anything.

"There are some things I can tell you..."

"Aren't you... angry?"

Shanai asked cautiously.

"What are you angry about?"

"The 'Psychic Puppet' plan promoted by my sister seems to be competing for business with you..."

"Hey...what do you think of me? A philistine businessman who only cares about money, or a greedy glutton who wants to get all the benefits?"

Daimaru said somewhat amusedly,

"As for opinions, it's not like I don't have any at all..."

Daimaru glanced at Shana, who was hesitant, and continued,

"Ms. Saya is also one of the major shareholders of Daimaru Workshop. She was a partner who supported me from the very beginning. She had such a big plan, but she didn't inform me in advance. It's so unreasonable..."

"Isn't this because I'm afraid of you obstructing me?"

Shanai muttered quietly.

Nowadays, Daimaru's reputation in the village makes even the strong Shanai dare not say bad things about Daimaru to his face.

"In your mind, am I so narrow-minded?"

The market owned by a large village of nearly 100,000 people, with today's basically hand-made products, automated factories far away, and assembly line production unrealistic, is simply not something that one or two private workshops can accommodate. There are many more It is actually a good thing for people with ideas to participate.

Daimaru's "low-end" puppet brought the melodious puppet master down from the altar and turned it into a profession accessible to civilian ninjas. However, in terms of influence, it was still a bit inferior to the "psychic puppet" promoted by Miss Saya. "Model is actually to further develop the market, and Daimaru is happy to see its success.

To take a step back, we are all compatriots after all. The meat rots in the pot and everyone eats it the same. If you really want to avoid showing off, just compete fairly. Daimaru is not an unreasonable person who bullies others because of his current strength.

"Your sister doesn't want to come to see me, but it's not because we are competitors for business..."

Daimaru asked slightly teasingly,

"Those strange scandals and rumors were spread by your sister, right?"

"It has nothing to do with onee-sama..."

Shanai hurriedly differentiated,

"My sister occasionally complained at home, and I heard her..."
