Naruto Life of Merit

Chapter 277 Economic Warfare

What is the contest between countries other than armed conflict?

If a country wants to be rich and strong, it must have sufficient military and economic strength.

In this ninja world, a person's force is brought to the extreme, and the controllability of killing and arson depends entirely on one's moral cultivation and standpoint of good and evil.

Ninjas with power cannot be controlled by laws and other means. Ninjas and poor people without Chakra are completely two worlds.

Looking back from the Warring States period to the present, the ninja world has experienced three ninja world wars, and these three wars have consumed a lot of manpower and material resources.Compared with the Warring States period, the entire ninja world is much weaker now, both in terms of the number of ninjas and the combat power of individual soldiers.

For the top leaders of various countries, Ninja Village is the key to their own safety and property protection, so it is very necessary to ensure that Ninja Village has a strong combat power as much as possible.

However, over the years, the rapid development of Ninja Village has deformed the economic development of countries all over the world.The strength of the military power has never been able to conceal the weakness of the economic strength of each country.

All countries will devote their resources to the development of Ninja Village, which will inevitably reduce their investment in national construction.Such a policy is nothing in wartime, but it is different in peacetime.

Without enemies, a large army is meaningless, just a gold swallowing behemoth.Moreover, due to the institutional relationship between the country and Ninja Village, the daimyo and the shadows are on equal footing, and while cooperating with each other, they are also on guard against each other.

When a large amount of resources are concentrated in Ninja Village, it will inevitably increase the strength of Ninja Village and increase the number of ninjas, and daimyo will naturally worry about his position.Therefore, reducing the supply of resources to Ninja Village is the agenda that the daimyo will bring up in peacetime.

And when the country's supply resources are greatly reduced, in order to maintain its own size and deal with possible wars, Ninja Village must "increase revenue and reduce expenditure".

Accepting various levels of task entrustment, developing the economic market in the village, and thus promoting the economic flow of the entire ninja village, this is open source, although accepting entrustment is the traditional way of income for ninjas.

As for throttling, it is natural to reduce armaments.For example, like Sand Hidden, reduce the number of ninjas and change to elite training.

And if you want to develop the economy, you must let the economy flow.However, the several wars that the ninja world has experienced have already left countries with an unknown blood debt, especially the five major countries.I want to break the barrier, but I don't know when it will be.

It was under such a background of playing with one's own family that the village of the sea appeared.Intervene in the economic circle among countries with a completely neutral position, thus linking countries with the village of the sea itself as a link.

Land, sea, and sea caravans are almost all over the human world.A huge supply and demand network has been completed after more than ten years of deployment.

People from all over the world can buy their urgently needed items from the caravans in the Sea Village, such as food, herbs, etc., as well as some special products and luxury goods from other countries.

The emergence of buying and selling marks the flow of the economy, and only then can people have the possibility of being rich.

But when the caravans in the village of the sea were attacked by unknown forces and reduced the number of trips, a small storm appeared.

……

In a market in the town of Fire Country, people come and go, and it is full of prosperity.

A middle-aged man dressed as a chef carried a vegetable basket and looked around for the ingredients he needed.

A middle-aged chef came to a fish stall and caught his eye on a fat salmon.

"Hujie, take a piece of salmon!" The middle-aged chef shouted to the owner of the fish stall.

"Oh! Got it!" The boss walked out quickly, quickly picked up the salmon, weighed it, and said to the middle-aged chef with a smile, "It weighs 300 catties, and it will cost you [-] taels."

"What?!" The middle-aged chef stared blankly and shouted, "Last time it was only 25 taels for 1000 catties! How dare you kill me!?"

"Oh, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Boss Yu said hastily with a bitter face, "This salmon was shipped from the land of water! When I bought it, the cost had already increased by [-]%, and I couldn't help it!"

"Huh? What's going on? Is it the caravan from the village of the sea? Haven't they never raised their prices!" the middle-aged chef asked strangely.

"Well, it's said that the caravan has been attacked by ninjas in recent days, and it has suffered a lot of losses, and the delivery conditions are difficult, so the price has increased." The fish boss said with a bitter face, pointing to his empty fish stall, "Look, My fish are almost sold out, and the caravan hasn't arrived yet, so they should have arrived a day ago..."

The dilemma of the fish boss is not uncommon. Most of the vendors who rely on Haizhixiang for supplies are in short supply.

At the same time, the scarcity of supply has led to an increase in some prices, and after fanning the flames, some people who see "business opportunities" purposely "hoard and hoard", which has a chain reaction, and the prices of the entire society have also risen. This is the future. Did not expect.

Accumulating a large amount of goods, and then spreading rumors, so that people who don't know the truth rush to buy, this is an excellent way to make huge profits.Similar routines were staged one after another in the Land of Fire, and the fiery scenes made the future sigh that greed and desire are the driving force behind human struggle and growth, and some things can be learned without a teacher.

The social and economic changes have brought chaos to the order of the Fire Nation.In order to be able to sell their goods at a high price, some merchants even posted the message "The Fourth Ninja World War is about to begin".All of a sudden, people panicked.

In the Land of Thunder, the same scene is also happening, and it is much more serious than the Land of Fire.In terms of national resources, the Land of Thunder is far behind the Land of Fire.Under the operation of Haizhixiang for many years, nearly half of the grain purchase channels have been controlled.

It is said that the situation in the country of thunder made the fourth generation of Raikage almost demolish the office building.

After half a month, the chaos in the country finally attracted the attention of the Fire Nation's top management.In order to stabilize the current situation as soon as possible, the daimyo is looking for a solution to the high prices while eliminating the rumors.

Originally, the daimyo wanted to start with those merchants who hoarded a large amount of goods, but he found that these merchants were protected by various domestic relations behind them, and it was not easy for him to start.For this reason, he was very troubled.

Time dragged on and on, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

"Master Daimyo, the domestic prices are too high now, and the common people can't even afford food. If this continues, the country will be in chaos!" A minister anxiously said to the Fire Nation Daimyo.

"Hey, if you want to stabilize prices, you have to fill them with commodities, but those merchants can't move!" Daimyo sighed.

"The businessman can't move, so let's find another supplier!" The minister hurriedly said softly.

"Huh? Did you pay attention?!" Daming asked hurriedly, startled.

"My lord, have you forgotten that there is still the land of the sea?" the minister said softly.

"Sea Village, this..." The daimyo hesitated, "We attacked them secretly before, but now..."

"Hey, when did the daimyo do such a thing?" The minister looked puzzled, "I heard people say that it was Konoha Danzo's idea to attack the caravan!"

"Oh! Yes, yes, yes!" The daimyo laughed loudly, "Hurry up and send someone to contact the people in the village of the sea and tell them everything is open for discussion!"
