Krypton life in Konoha's dream

After Jiraiya and Dai set off, Guapei naturally had to stabilize the situation in Oda Castle first.

Most of the samurai from the original ruling class died, and the rest ran away, but after all, Oda Castle was a city with a population of 2, and all aspects had to be stabilized.

If a city of this size were placed in the Land of Fire, the city and the surrounding countryside would have a population of more than 20 to [-]. However, in fact, there are only tens of thousands of people here. The poor livelihood of the people of the Iron Country is evident.

But this is not easy to manage. After all, there are only 30 people in Guaping right now.

However, since he said in the square before that "this is Oda Castle for the people of Oda Castle" and he said that the government should be returned to the people, it is also a top priority to select managers from among the people.

At this time, another drawback of martial arts governance became apparent, namely the scarcity of talents.

Just like most places in the ninja world, most of the people are uneducated, which means they can't even read.

The big countries like the Fire Country are slightly better. After all, they are dualist countries. The military power belongs to the ninjas and the government belongs to the nobles. In order to be lazy, the nobles will consciously cultivate some talented and learned servants, and even select talents for them. The opportunity for commoners to become nobles naturally opened up a little bit of educational resources.

In the Iron Kingdom, military power belongs to the samurai, and political power belongs to the samurai. The samurai prefer other pastimes, such as dueling or killing civilians. They are just learning, so it is harder for civilians to have access to education.

So when Guahei sat down in the palace of the city lord and asked Sakumo Orochimaru and the others to send out news to recruit talents who could read and write and take charge of their duties, he drank eleven cups of tea and had a meal, but no one came. ..

Is there not a single literate person in the city?

He asked Sakumo to call any civilian over for questioning.

After asking, I found out that not all samurai were literate, but samurai had the opportunity to learn but did not study hard...

"So how was the city administration of Oda Castle conducted? Who were the officials and what powers they had?"

Originally there were about four to five hundred warriors in the city, but now there are none, so Guaping had no choice but to ask the civilians.

"Um, sir, the only official is the city lord. The other warriors are squad leaders, squadron leaders, etc. The city lord has the final say about power and other matters..."

"What, what kind of civil dispute do you have, what should you do?"

"The original city lord believed that when there was a dispute, both sides had problems, so they would be killed. If civilians reported on the samurai, then kill the civilians, and there would be no problem."

Guaping: "..."

"Then, for example, taxation, such as paying grain and doing corvee service, who is in charge of it and how?"

The civilian looked at Guaping like a fool, then thought that Guaping had killed so many warriors, he quickly lowered his head and replied, "We don't have to pay taxes."

"The samurai don't have to pay taxes and they kill people for fun. If they don't pay taxes, what will they eat?"

"Sir, it's like this. All the land belongs to the samurai. We just plant it. During the spring and autumn harvests, the tenants have some food to eat so as not to starve to death. Everything else is given to the samurai-sama, so there is no need to pay taxes. . And for corvee service, there are no minerals near Oda Castle, so it is rare to do corvee service. In cities with minerals, civilians are forced to serve, otherwise they will die, so there is no dedicated person in charge of these, but every samurai has the power to deal with it. .”

Simplicity and crudeness are the characteristics of this Iron Country.

"Okay, you can go back."

The melon is flat and the forehead is held, and the feeling is really troublesome.

But it can’t be the end of the world.

The first is to open a warehouse to stock up on food. Since the common people only have enough food rations to prevent them from starving to death, it is necessary to open a warehouse to stock up on food.

Then there is the city defense.The samurai who escaped will definitely go to bring reinforcements. Although there is a civil war in the Iron Kingdom, Matsudaira Kexi may not have the extra troops to fight on both sides, but if it happens, before the people from the Kingdom of Whirlpool come, Guapei will ask Sakumo and the others to fight on both sides. Twenty young men were recruited and promised a certain amount of money and food as reward, and they would patrol and stand guard in shifts.

Finally, there is civil affairs. There is no rush in this aspect. One is that spring plowing has passed, and the tenants can take care of it themselves. There is no need for supervision and there is no manpower to supervise. He will be responsible for civil disputes by himself.

There is nothing left to be done, which probably refers to the current situation.

All other duties and responsibilities will have to wait until more people are available before they can be arranged.

There are benefits too.The people have been oppressed for too long and have no loyalty to the samurai who once ruled them. However, because the simple and crude rule of the samurai has suddenly become complicated and detailed, they may not be able to adapt to it, but it will not take long for them to be able to adapt to it. They found that their lives were better, so political reform was also convenient.

There is also a small population, which also has certain benefits.As we all know, the population at the end of any dynasty is countless times that at the beginning. Even if there is no land annexation and corruption, the resources allocated to each person will be less because there are more people.Then after months and months of war, the red land was littered with corpses, and a new dynasty emerged, and they lived and worked in peace and contentment for another 200 years.This is because the new dynasty is better than the old dynasty, isn't it? It's as black as a crow, and the system has not changed. It's just that when there are fewer people, the contradictions don't show up so quickly.

So the Iron Kingdom has a small population, and the distribution of fields to households can be stable for a long time. In this time, it will be enough for institutional reform.

Two days passed peacefully without any samurai attacking the city. Instead, people from the Kingdom of Whirlpool came.

Guaping went to the city gate to greet him. After all, even if Uzumaki Masahiko said that the Uzumaki Country would join the Fire Country after his death, it is not yet the case. The etiquette of foreign affairs activities still needs to be paid attention to.

As a result, I saw the name of the Uzumaki Country, the second generation Uzumaki, coming with more than 400 Uzumaki Country ninjas...

The Country of Whirlpool is a small place, and due to the barrenness, there are not many people. The number of serious ninjas has always been controlled at about a thousand, and most of them are genin who are not very good at fighting. In this way, the name of the Country of Whirlpool directly brought More than 400 people...

But Guaping can understand it if he thinks about it.

The territory of one Oda Castle is equivalent to most of the country of Uzumaki. In fact, based on the area of ​​available arable land alone, the cultivated land outside Oda Castle is twice that of the island where the country of Uzumaki is located.

How many ninjas can that feed?

Moreover, Guaping said that he would send several cities as gifts.

How could the great name of the Kingdom of Whirlpool not be moved?

Guaping itself also hopes that the more people who come, the better. Not only will it be easier to manage, but it will also be easier to attack the city in the future.Yes, he wants to capture as many cities as possible. The best case scenario is that the Kingdom of Iron can be divided into three, one is occupied by Mifune, the other is captured by him and taken over by the Kingdom of Whirlpool, and then Matsudaira Qingxi divides it. Lingering in the middle.

In this way, the Kingdom of Iron still exists and will not worry about any international pressure. Although the Kingdom of Whirlpool is an independent daimyo, it is more naturally close to the daimyo of various countries than the samurai generals of the Iron Kingdom.

Slowly encroaching on it, and sharing Matsudaira's territory with Mifune in the future, half or even more than half of the Iron Kingdom can be included in the Fire Kingdom's territory without being gossiped about.

"Come on, Uzukage-sama, let's discuss the attack on Takeda Castle."
