Chapter 278 Strategic Planning
When the time came to around 09:30, Xia Yan, who had already sorted out his thoughts thoroughly, set off for the Konoha meeting room under the prompt of Nara Shikahisa.

Although some meetings can be held in small-scale and small organizations, Xia Yan has long stipulated that all Jonin must participate in the meeting to determine the future direction of Konoha.

For example, this time, this is a major meeting related to the future development of Konoha.

Even though Xia Yan had an agreement with Nara Shikahisa before, many resolutions still have to be completed through today's meeting.

But if you are ventilated, you are ventilated. Nara Shikahisa doesn't know many things very well. He just knows that Xia Yan intends to attack the small countries around him.

But these are trivial things, and it doesn't matter if you don't know the details.

That's right, attacking the surrounding small countries is nothing more than a trivial matter to him. After all, Konoha is a village that stands on the top of the ninja world.

Even though it is still very weak now, Konoha, who holds the power of the Fire Nation, can really ignore many things.

It's not a big deal if Xia Yan decides to do it.

"By the way, Lu Jiu." Xia Yan asked in a low voice while walking: "How are you preparing for the tax matters I asked you to prepare?"

"I have already asked someone to investigate this matter." Nara Shikahisa immediately replied in a low voice: "After all, our meddling in taxation is tantamount to a complete snatch of economic rights, but we must be careful in order to avoid the daimyo's backlash."

Taking action towards the taxation is really tantamount to being cruel to the daimyo, although Nara Shikahisa doesn't care that much about what the daimyo thinks.

But no matter what, the daimyo is also the master of the land of fire in name, and some things must be done with great care.

Xia Yan is a Hokage who is willing to abide by the rules, but doesn't care about certain rules.

Then Nara Shikahisa will definitely help him to do things within a certain range of rules, which is what he is good at.

"Let's investigate first, and we also need to cultivate various talents, don't we?"

Xia Yan nodded slightly, and then he smiled and said.

"This time, we will not go to the daimyo's side when attacking a small country. We will take all the proceeds ourselves, and you should make a record."

"I just don't know what Hokage-sama is going to do."

Shikajiu Nara shrugged. In fact, he really didn't know the value of these small countries.

But he is willing to believe Xia Yan, after all Xia Yan's vision is still very strong, as can be seen from this series of reforms.

"You will know, in fact, many things that are ignored by everyone, their value has never been lower."

Xia Yan replied with a smile, and then he didn't say anything more, because they have now arrived at the door of the meeting room.

As Hokage, Xia Yan realized that on many occasions he could not be allowed to wait for others, but had to be made to wait for him.

This is time for yourself to prepare, and it is also time for the people in the meeting to prepare.

"Lord Hokage!"

When he entered the conference room with Shikahisa Nara, all the ninjas present immediately stood up and paid tribute to him.

After Xia Yan smiled and nodded to everyone, he walked directly towards his seat, and he spoke directly after he sat down.

"Sit down, and now that everyone is here, let the meeting begin.

Minister Shikahisa, let me first talk about the current situation of jounin. After all, jounin is the foundation of our Konoha. "

Xia Yan's words immediately made everyone present smile knowingly, and everyone present was not a jonin.

Xia Yan, as Hokage, praised them so much, they would naturally feel proud while feeling happy.

Moreover, as the beneficiaries, they naturally have no dissatisfaction with the current reform of Konoha Jominin.

It can even be said that with the advancement of reforms, they have indeed obtained benefits that they had never imagined.

Especially for ordinary Jonin, their current treatment is really unimaginable.

Under such circumstances, how could they have the slightest dissatisfaction?

In fact, it is almost the same. Nara Shikahisa quickly stood up and began to report the results of the current reform.

In fact, Shikahisa Nara himself feels that he doesn’t have much to say, because the reform this time is really too successful, so successful that he can only talk about it with praise.

Although the major families still feel a little bit tasteless about such a welfare increase, but he also knows that this is a guarantee, and it is also their commitment to Xia Yan's support.

Of course, there are also some families who have improved to a certain extent after receiving these benefits. After all, those extra things really make up for many of their vacancies in skills.

After some explanation, Nara Shikahisa also returned to his seat, and at the same time Xia Yan also stood up and said softly.

"It can be seen that the implementation of Konoha Jonin's reform plan can be said to be a great success.

This has given us a qualitative leap in the strength, life security, etc. of our Jōnin. I believe that if this continues, Konoha's Jōnin will be the strongest Jōnin in the entire ninja world.

But don't be too happy, after all, we still have a long way to go, and the Jnin assessment must be further improved. "

Having said that, Xia Yan paused slightly. He could feel that there were many ninjas present, whether they were family ninjas or ordinary jouninjas, they began to feel a little nervous.

Since the implementation of Jōnin reform until now, everyone knows exactly how effective it is. Of course, they also know that such good benefits cannot be given to you for nothing all the time.

But even if they were mentally prepared, they were still a little worried when they heard the news. After all, it would be bad if this kind of thing happened to them.

But Xia Yan doesn't care about this kind of thing, he will continue to do it if he wants to carry it out, he tapped the table lightly and continued.

"Although this matter has an impact on everyone, and there are some words that people may not like to hear.

But what must be made clear to everyone is that you are not successful if you become a Jonin, it will only make everyone slack off.

Before that, we hadn't determined how many Jnin quotas would be adjusted in the final assessment every year.

Today I think I can have a good discussion with you. Although it seems that this is weakening your interests, it is also protecting your interests from another perspective.

The number of jounin must be controlled, only in this way can everyone get what others desire to the extreme, so that the whole Konoha will be more energetic and motivated.

And even if those of you who are doing it really fall down, don't you have a better chance than others to get back on the stand?
Give yourself a little confidence, even if you don't think about falling, you work hard to ensure that you don't have any problems in the assessment.

Isn't this a kind of improvement for yourselves? "

Xia Yan's words have a strong meaning of secretly changing the concept, but anyway, this is a major trend of Konoha.

If they don't want to, I'm afraid the whole Konoha will be even more unhappy. It's never a good thing to enjoy the cake alone, it will only make everyone hate you more.

Xia Yan obviously knew this very well, so he took out all the cakes, even though he actually ate the biggest one.

But after he distributed what should be distributed, all he got was support, because everyone had eaten this piece of cake.

Therefore, although everyone here was actually unwilling to propose Xia Yan's proposal, they still participated honestly in the end.

In the end, they came to the conclusion that there are 300 relegation places every year, but the same number of ninja will be properly fixed at [-].

Ten percent is not too much, which is just right. At the same time, Xia Yan also began to actively promote the reform of Chunin and Genin.

No one objected to this matter. After all, this is an established fact. If the welfare of the upper ninja comes out, then the middle nin and the lower ninja will inevitably appear.

Only in this way will there be a reasonable and complete promotion system, which will be good for everyone.

As for the effect of the Chunin reform, in fact, everyone present felt that this would not cause any problems.

They have all seen the welfare improvement of the reform - the ghost knows if they will be unlucky and become the [-]% and they will change from Jonin to Chunnin, so they are more concerned about these.

What made them breathe a sigh of relief was that although this welfare reform is really very, very different from that of the Junin, it is definitely many times better than the welfare of the Chunin at this stage.

To put it bluntly, this is almost catching up with the benefits that Jōnin should have before. With these benefits, Jōnin can definitely improve their level to the level of Jōnin.

And for those who are unfortunately relegated, with such resources, they can also guarantee their living conditions.

Moreover, they who have experience in Jonin, definitely have more advantages than other Chunin, don't they?
As for the reform of the ninja, although it has reached the level of the original ninja, there is nothing that cannot be beaten.

What makes them most interesting is that Xia Yan and Nara Shikahisa also proposed a "special talent training plan" this time.

Smart people immediately know that such a system is on the one hand cultivating government talents for Konoha, and on the other hand it is also strengthening Konoha's strength.

In fact, for the absolute majority of ninjas, comprehensive development is really not a realistic thing, so why not focus on cultivating what they are better at?

It can be said that the first half of this meeting really developed very well, and Xia Yan also decided to start the next content.

And the content of this part is about Konoha's future foreign policy!
And these policies are actually how to better and more effectively attack and use the small neighboring countries.

Xia Yan really scoffed at the current use of the small neighboring countries by the ninja world. To put it bluntly, there was no use at all.

That being the case, why didn't Xia Yan come by himself?

He has been thinking about the use of those neighboring small countries for some time.

Anyway, now Konoha is strong enough, and can continue to get money from the fire country daimyo.

In addition, Konoha is undergoing a revival, attacking a small country can not only make money, but also spread its influence. For him, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.

It can even be said that he didn't expect any harm to him.

Other than the inevitable gore that would go into completing these things, everything was perfect.

But it doesn't matter if there is bloody Xia Yan, at this stage he really doesn't think who is his opponent.

And when the time comes, the ghost knows who did it, and if you want to settle the account, you may not be able to settle it on yourself.

Of course, Xia Yan wouldn't care even if all these bad things were blamed on him.

Because this is thinking about the village, it can even be said that this is thinking about the country of fire.

When it comes to grand strategies about the future, Xia Yan won't care even if it's a little bloody. Although Konoha is now on the right track, it's not enough to think about the future.

If a power, a village or even a country wants to develop, the awareness of being prepared for danger in times of peace and taking precautions is absolutely indispensable.

"Everyone, I don't know what you think of the countries around our country of fire."

Xia Yan looked at everyone present and asked slowly. Of course, he also knew that the answer to this question was definitely far from what he thought.

"Nearby countries?"

Even though Nara Shikahisa had already received the news, he thought for a moment before speaking.

"Those countries can provide us with a huge number of tasks, and at the same time allow our merchants to sell a lot of things, probably that's all?"

Hearing this statement, especially from Nara Shikahisa, Xia Yan couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

Sure enough, the existence of a small country is really of little value in their eyes.

In other words, the small country can be used in a wide range of ways, but it's a pity that people here don't seem to know it.

In fact, the small countries around them can't develop. Apart from being suppressed by the big villages, the main reason is that they don't have enough influence and don't have enough money to develop.

The suppression of the big village is suppression, but it doesn't mean that they will not have talents. Isn't that Sanjiao Hanzo a demigod from the Land of Rain?

Sanshoyu Hanzo created a Yuyin Village, and there was no Dainin Village to take care of him when this village appeared.

In the end, he himself declared war with Konoha for the territory. Of course, his result was also miserable, so needless to say.

The fact that small countries cannot develop is actually the most critical transportation, because there is no money.

Without money, it is impossible to cultivate ninjas, and there are only a few geniuses who are not strong enough. How can their village get enough trust?
I am afraid that people in their own country are more willing to entrust large-scale missions to large ninja villages.

Without trust, there will be no mission, without mission, there will be no funds, and the big names of small countries will also tighten their pockets. This is a vicious circle.

Therefore, they can only be regarded as the attachment of the big countries, and the big countries don't care about them, they just keep seizing their resources, regardless of whether they have development.

Even in the official class, they directly use their territory as a war, which makes the fate of the small country even more tragic.

Of course, Xia Yan really needs to be grateful for this kind of thinking.

After all, in his opinion, these effects are really natural war agents, raw material collection centers and commodity dumping grounds!

Xia Yan can definitely boost their economy by investing in road and bridge construction and other projects. After all, Xia Yan once said in his previous life that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

The road is open to natural people, whether it is tourism or business, this is extremely convenient.

And after making these small countries rich, Xia Yan can use various means to make a lot of money.

For example, Tang Zhiguo, a country that has just been occupied by Xia Yan, they can use it as an experiment for Xia Yan.

Their ninja village hopes to develop but suffers from lack of money. Konoha can support them with some tasks so that they can make money.

There are tasks, but what if there are not so many ninjas?
It's simpler, send some jounin over there, and teach them some useful knowledge there.

There is not enough medical system, no problem, Konoha has a complete medical system, which can be directly shared with them.

In this way, with tasks, ninjas, and a medical system to protect the lives of ninjas, it will naturally make more money.

But these are small money, and the big money is the protection of large missions and caravans.

And Tango Country doesn't have enough infrastructure and roads, Konoha can also send some engineering team ninjas in.

In this way, wouldn't the development of a small Ninja Village be up?

And as long as you keep an eye out, those ninjas who are sent out will do private work and publicize all kinds of good things about Konoha, so that you can win over these ninjas even more.

After a set of procedures, the construction of a ninja village was perfected, helping the ninja village to have enough economy to cultivate the next generation, and finally, it also implicitly promoted the goodness of Konoha.

After all this is done, it's time to talk about money.

How can the newly developed Yunokuni Ninja Village have so much money to pay back Konoha?
It's okay, you can take the loan model and pay it back slowly.

It's okay if you can't afford it. There are many mines in the Tang Dynasty, especially in the area adjacent to the Iron Country.

Mining rights, shares and the like are completely acceptable to Konoha.

Moreover, the development of mines can also drive another group of people to get more money, that is, ordinary people, which can make more money!
Only when the common people have money can they drive the economy, thus prompting more tasks to appear.

In addition, tariffs and the like can also be brought out. Xia Yan definitely doesn't mind mastering a country's tariffs.

In the end, of course, don't forget to protect existing achievements.

There are ninjas, but the strategic materials are not in place in one step.

Konoha is the Great Ninja Village in the ninja world, and it has a lot of strategic materials inside, including weapons and medical medicines.

Konoha can completely sell these materials directly to these ninja villages when they update their equipment, before these materials are completely discarded.

This will not only reduce Konoha's loss, but also earn a lot of money.

It can be said that this is a business that is sure to make money without losing money, and it can also bring a lot of younger brothers to Konoha!
Thinking of this, Xia Yan simply said everything he thought.

And what he said directly stunned all the people present. At the beginning, when they heard that Xia Yan planned to give so much support, their faces turned dark.

This is basically sending money naked. They really didn't want to understand that they, Hokage-sama, are going to follow the old path of the original purpose?
However, when they heard how Xia Yan planned to make money later, all of their eyes lit up.

Is this making money?
This is simply stealing money!
Except for Xia Yan who hadn't passed the complete Jnin assessment, everyone else present had experienced it.

So their abundant reserves immediately made them think of the benefits of doing so.

Except that the premise investment may be a bit large, and the short-term return will be a little less, but it is absolutely unimaginable in the long run.

Even if it is done like this, it is not a problem to completely control that country.

It is absolutely unimaginable to control the wealth of a country without bloodshed, and Xia Yan's plan will definitely allow them to do it.

Of course, this lack of blood does not mean that there is no death. After all, if the plan is to go smoothly, some people really need to "pay".

In addition to wealth, once the village is really supported and has enough fighting power.

Then Konoha will be equivalent to having an additional combat power in the future. Even if these combat powers do not come from Konoha, they definitely have an inseparable close relationship with Konoha.

He will naturally stand with Konoha, no matter what happens, they will support Konoha unconditionally!
"What a good idea, as expected of Hokage-sama!"

"I really didn't expect these small countries to have such value, just a country of soup, if we have the ability"

"Hokage-sama, if this is the case, we will definitely support Hokage-sama!"

After a long silence, the ninjas who participated in the meeting all spoke, and the answers they gave were all support without exception.

Although this is not beyond Xia Yan's expectations, it also shows how high Xia Yan's prestige is, and how attractive Xia Yan is.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan couldn't help but sigh psychologically.

He must thank the country he was in before crossing. This beautiful country has taught him too many precious things and allowed him to see too many things clearly.

After all, it was facing the flood with the Egyptians 5000 years ago, casting bronzes with the Babylonians 4000 years ago, and thinking about philosophy like the ancient Greeks 3000 years ago.

It fought as bravely as the Romans 2000 years ago, as rich as the Arabs 1000 years ago, and now it is a nation and country that is comparable to the Americans in all aspects.

This nation and country made Xia Yan extremely proud and proud. Even in the foreign wars in ancient times, the performance of this country was completely different from other historical countries.

After the expansion of the territory of other countries, the people on the new territory are not the people but slaves, and she rarely uses force, and even if she uses force, she will put governance first.

"After all, we prefer fusion, not necessarily conquest."

Xia Yan can't remember exactly when the phrase "warrior must die" came into being, but it seems that this sentence has always been integrated into everyone's heart. Anyway, Xia Yan has known such a sentence since he was a child.

Even if the Xiongnu, who had been in the Han Dynasty for so long, finally provoked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to hunt him down for thousands of miles, this is already a life-and-death enemy.

But as long as those who sincerely surrendered will be treated with courtesy by the Han Dynasty and the settlement fee will be returned. This has been piled up in Beijing not long ago in other countries, and they will give you money?
That is to say, with such characteristics, Xia Yan's motherland in his previous life was not afraid of foreign cultures—foreign cultures often became his own nourishment.

For 5000 years, this country has been on the world's poker table, watching opponents rise and die.

Even if she was bullied miserably for playing the wrong cards, once she was given time and opportunity, she could always stand up and sit at the poker table again!

"Everyone be quiet."

Xia Yan tapped on the table lightly, and with the sound, the entire conference room fell silent for just a moment.

Xia Yan nodded in satisfaction, and then he looked at Shikahisa Nara.

"Minister Lu Jiu, what do you think?"

"I fully support Hokage-sama's proposal."

Shikahisa Nara didn't hesitate at all, he immediately gave his answer, but he was different from other people who would only support him, he still had his own ideas.

"It's just that there are some situations that I think we should discuss in more detail, such as how to get those villages to accept our investment.

Perhaps in other words, what kind of person should we choose to cooperate with us. "

Nara Shikahisa's words are very gentle, but what it represents is very bloody.

After all, they are looking for an obedient person to cooperate with them. Who hasn't figured out what will happen here?
To put it bluntly, if you are obedient, you will be selected, and if you are not obedient, you will be replaced!
And after changing a decision-maker, what kind of things will this person do to consolidate his rights?

Xia Yan already gave everyone a very good answer. Although those who were present had never seen the corpses of thousands of people, they had also seen the black smoke constantly rising from the forest in the distance.

Even if these fostered 'agents' can't reach Xia Yan's level, they will definitely not show any 'gentleness'.

In order to express loyalty, in order to eliminate internal discordant voices as quickly as possible, bloodshed will also become the most effective method, there is no one!

Anyway, with Konoha in their pocket, they don't need to worry about this.

And Konoha only needs to transplant its own policies, no matter who the decision makers are, they will always be their 'agents'!
But so what about bloody, anyway, this is not made by Konoha, who can say what Konoha?

What's more, to be honest, such bloodshed is for a few people, but it may not be bloody for most people.

Even if there will be many voices of opposition, even if there will be some seeds of hatred being planted.

But hatred is always just one of the tools used to incite wars for profit. As long as such wars can never be incited, what use is hatred?
Of course, that doesn't mean that hatred doesn't inspire their determination to resist.

But let them get actual benefits, how can they resist, is there still a need to resist?
Even if they really resisted, would they be able to fight?
Obviously, this is impossible. Even if Konoha really cultivated them, Konoha would not be afraid of them.

After all, according to Konoha's current development trajectory, the war potential contained in these small villages will never catch up with Konoha in this lifetime!

Xia Yan's proposal was basically approved by everyone.

However, this matter requires them to carefully plan various details. In addition, they also need to find a suitable country to target.

Such a small country is not so easy to find. This is the result of comprehensive consideration.

What's more, after finding it, they have to judge their sense of Konoha.

Only then can they decide whether to keep this person and win them over, or to cultivate a spokesperson that they can trust.

Finally, the current decision maker must be disposed of.

All in all, this is not something that will happen overnight.

Of course, there are still goals, such as the country of Tang that Xia Yan took out as a model, which has entered Konoha's key inspection list.

After all, compared to other villages-either there are ninjas from the Great Ninja Village in it, or there is not even a Ninja Village.

The conditions of the village of Tang Zhiguo are really much better than other villages.

In the case of not being extremely urgent, the effect of playing first easy and then difficult is much better than first difficult and then easy.

After the meeting ended, Konoha's machine started running again.

Especially those mission-leading ninjas, they took the initiative to try to help Konoha to collect some information about the surrounding villages.

The first Hokage established Konoha, and the second and third Hokage established Konoha’s values ​​to a certain extent—even if they didn’t realize it.

And Xia Yan is now thoroughly carrying forward these values. Although he may not be able to create a sense of national consciousness, he will definitely not be worse than those two.

Everyone is a member of Konoha, and only when Konoha is good can everyone be good. This concept is what Xia Yan must penetrate into the psychology of every Konoha resident.

At the same time, let them have a sense of pride as a member of Konoha, which is of great benefit to Xia Yan's control of Konoha.

In the following time, Konoha started to get busy, but Xia Yan was still relatively leisurely.

After all, Xia Yan really doesn't need to do anything on his own for these things, he just needs to wait.

As for the resurrection technique, Hidan obviously hasn't fully recovered yet, while Hatake Sakumo is still recovering.

As for Kakashi, he is currently working as a collector while helping Xia Yan investigate the moon passage, so he has no time to come to him.

However, what Xia Yan didn't expect the most was that Kakashi, who he thought would continue to be his own collector, actually ran to Xia Yan and told Xia Yan a piece of news that he couldn't refuse.

"We seem to have found it. It seems to be the place you mentioned." Kakashi's expression was also extremely incredible: "But that place is full of seals, and we can't be sure."

"Is it full of seals?" Xia Yan raised his eyebrows, and then he asked seriously: "Is it in the cave, and there is a very wonderful pond?"

"Probably, it's a cave." Kakashi nodded, then shook his head again: "But without the pond, it's just a psychic circle full of seals."

Don't have a pond?

Xia Yan couldn't help but frown when he heard the news, it seemed to be different from what he remembered.
