Konoha is also very enthusiastic today

You all mentioned this, what else can I do?

A strong smile.

Konoha turned off the lights and lay on the tatami, staring at the ceiling without feeling sleepy.

She was wondering which step had gone wrong.

Or... there was no mistake at all. Is the result of all this an inevitable phenomenon caused by her along the way?

The situation has reached such a point that the issue of stress is no longer the focus of Konoha's attention.

It's not without reason that they regard her as their faith. Just like what Uchiha Shuangkui said, people with the vision of Konoha probably don't exist in this world.

This is not her boast, but an undisputed fact.

Everyone's vision is shaped by the environment of the times in which they live. There may be great people who have a far-sighted vision, but in the end they cannot escape the limitations of the times.

Konoha was different from everyone else.

She grew up in the ninja world, but she has been exposed to the various forms of the world since she was a child. She knows that there is a broader world outside the universe, and she has also seen the beautiful future that humans can create with their own hands.

Because she has seen it before, she has no distractions and no confusion.She believed that since there could be such beautiful pictures in other worlds, why couldn't she do it?

This natural confidence is what those in the ninja world lack.

There is something in Konoha that they don't have, a faith that shines brightly like the sun, bringing them together, like passing a torch, igniting the wandering hearts one after another.

Humans have phototaxis.This "light" can be many things, persistent wishes, painted dreams... The most essential reason is that people are very good at finding what they lack in others, and this "advantage" can be amplified by them without limit. Be beautified without limit in the filter.

And when many people lack the same thing, and that thing happens to be possessed by only one person... this "phototaxis" will drive them closer to that person and admire them. If this emotion is not controlled, it will eventually It will ferment into an extremely terrifying worship mentality.

This is probably the mentality of those around Konoha.

She remained unaware.

...No, in other words, even if she noticed it, she might be helpless.

Because now is not the time to mature.

The best way to get rid of this excessive worship mentality is to reform from top to bottom and transmit correct ideas through education, so that they can have sufficient understanding of individuals, awaken their personal consciousness, and realize that people are not saints and sages. There can be no fault.

But that is not now.

Konoha does not yet have this condition and foundation. It does not even have a complete national system, let alone the infrastructure after unification.Due to the lack of hardware, the large-scale education work she can do now is only the most basic literacy, and that is obviously far from enough for people to awaken their self-awareness.

In other words, before reaching the goal, Konoha can only bear this heavy "expectation".

This is a double-edged sword.

Although after civilization develops to a certain level, excessive worship will do no good, but in the current situation of the ninja world, this can actually improve the efficiency of the execution of Konoha's orders, which in a sense also facilitates her reforms. Of course, the premise is that she can withstand this "expectation" and make every move calmly and steadily.

She's not afraid of the pressure.

She will indeed be scared at first, but that doesn't mean she will shrink back and run away.

Even if the entire ninja world was bearing down on her, Konoha didn't feel that she would lose her sense of proportion and lose her direction.

Besides, she's not alone.Behind her, there is an entire chat room as a backing.

The seniors are her strongest pillars. With them around, she will not be defeated easily.

The stress issue is already secondary.

What she wants to pay attention to is the growth of this "admiration mentality".

Before the founding of the country, she could make appropriate use of people's psychology to pave the way for herself, but she couldn't go too far, otherwise there would be no end in sight.

So she has to control herself well.

The best way to prevent people's spirits from breaking down easily is to find them a new pillar of faith.

Everything is good, anyway, it is better than believing in her.

She let out a sigh, wondering when that guy from Tongmo would be able to finish reading the books she gave him?It's time to sort out her Protestantism.

Hmm... Let's just set a time limit for that guy when we go back. Give her another month to get it all figured out.

.........

The next morning.

After the handover between Konoha and her vest clone was successful, she took advantage of the fact that it was still early and knocked on Uchiha Izuna's door.

If there was a clock, it would probably show that it was still around 05:30. The darkness of the sky had not been completely dissipated by the sunlight, leaving only a sliver of light, which made the silence of dawn even cooler.

After ushering in the era of peace, even the Uchiha clan's pace of life has slowed down significantly.

No longer like the Sengoku Warring States period, they were worried that their heads would fall off the next second, so that they were always training themselves and wishing that people could not sleep. After the wars and killings slowly disappeared from the ninja world, the Uchihas gradually began to truly "live." "Yes.

At this time, it was around five o'clock in the morning. The training ground used to be filled with the sound of people, but now it was quiet, leaving only the wind passing by without a trace and the snow falling silently.

Not long after Konoha waited, the door opened from the inside, and what came into view was Uchiha Izuna who was yawning. The green-black eyes of the young man were extremely eye-catching.

"It's Konoha...come in. I heard about your purpose from Madara."

Konoha followed Senna, looking worriedly.

"Uncle Quan Nai... he seems to be in a bad mood. Are you okay? Did you stay up late again?"

Izuna rubbed his eyes: "Yeah. There are a lot of chores piled up, so I might as well take advantage of the winter period to take a rest and finish them all in one go." He received Konoha's worried eyes and suddenly laughed and said, "Don't worry, I It’s not that brittle, it’s just a few late nights. When I was on missions in the past, I would stay awake for five days in a row. At that time, I had to maintain a high-stress state, but now I feel relaxed.”

Konoha: "..."

Those nobles treat you as tools, and you yourself also treat yourself as a tool?

She hesitated to speak, glanced at the half-meter-high mountain of documents on the desk, and said hesitantly: "How about...Uncle Quan Nai, you can sleep for a while and I'll come back later?"

Even she couldn't do such a devilish thing as dragging her uncle who stayed up all night to force him to cheer up and listen to her plan.

Uchiha Izuna shook his head and comforted: "I'm really fine. You'd better talk about your own affairs first and deal with it as soon as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares."

Konoha: "..." Oh, okay.

She also forgot that ninjas generally do not take their own lives seriously, and ordinary people pay more attention to their health than they do.

Konoha and Izuna sat opposite each other, and she explained her thoughts to Izuna in detail.

In fact, it is very simple to understand what she means. To summarize, it is the beginning of the new year, and it is time to create an "industrial wave."

If all capital is in the hands of public institutions, it will not stimulate much vitality. They need to sink this capital, preferably to the civilian class.

Konoha has already organized everything it can handle, and the only ones she is optimistic about are businessmen with a certain property base.

"...I understand." As expected of Uncle Quan Nai, he could quickly understand what she meant even in a state of high fatigue.

"I will publish the relevant information today. I heard that your focus is... the oil workshop, right?"

Konoha nodded generously: "Yes. Small non-public oil mills can be run by civilians, but my purpose is to open up the international market and open up sales channels across the continent, and those oil mills that can only serve domestic demand are not enough. We need more mechanized oil plants with higher quality and efficiency to supply the external market."

Uchiha Izuna nodded, and he turned over the next piece of paper.

As he read, he frowned and asked, "Are the raw materials too simple? The oil yield of soybeans..." He was a little worried.

Konoha scratched the back of his head and said: "Well, mechanical improvements should improve the success rate. Of course, there are definitely more than this kind of crops suitable for producing oil. Rapeseed and the like are also grown, but other things must be taken into consideration. factors.”

"Other aspects?" Quan Nai raised his eyes.

"Yeah." Konoha responded softly, and she stared at the table, "I have seen the frequency of disasters in the Land of Thunder territory."

She continued: "According to local literature records and new statistics, there is no doubt that there is a natural disaster-prone area. In addition to droughts, floods, and epidemics, there are also more difficult to prevent..." She paused, and then Slowly spit out, "Locust plague."

Quan Nai's fingers holding the paper tightened suddenly.

Locust plague.

It was impossible for him who was born in the Warring States Period not to understand what this meant... To ordinary farmers, the locust plague was a more terrifying existence than the devil, which could easily destroy a village.Even the Ninja clan will suffer a heavy blow if they fall in the area near the locust plague.

This is the nightmare that everyone avoids.

"You..." He heard his voice dry, "Is there any way to prevent the locust plague?"

Konoha shook his head and said: "Of course not, how is it possible." Even in modern times, there are still countries that are troubled by locusts. "It cannot be prevented, but the losses can be minimized."

"According to the rules summarized in the literature... the locust plague is coming, and it may occur within the next two years." In the most unlucky time, the frequency is as high as once every three years. If there is sufficient food supply along the way, it will last for more than six months. .For the locals, it may only be a little more than a week, but this one week is enough to make the fruits of a year's labor go to waste.

Locusts eat almost anything, especially aquatic plants, so crops are often damaged.

"Corn, wheat, rice, sorghum...including beans, are all on their diet." Konoha said slowly, "So we can only choose. It is impossible not to grow food, and those oil crops that can be replaced are It’s time to think about it.”

"Although they will all be eaten, they have strong regeneration ability. I have inspected the climate and soil in the Land of Thunder, and soybeans are the most suitable crop." Konoha sighed again, "If you promote it early, even if there is a loss, it will still be the most suitable crop." We can make up for it in time.”

She has the most pessimistic attitude and is always prepared for the locust plague to eat her crops. Some greenhouses are also being built and those that can be moved indoors will be moved as much as possible.

"What about other measures?"

"Of course, everything has been done. Under my instruction, the textile factory made wholesale mesh cloth and kept it in the warehouse for later use. I also asked Qianshou Yishui to publicize the benefits of domestic poultry and livestock, and asked every household to raise some chickens. Ducks and geese can also play a certain role in prevention and control.”

Farmers are also asked to turn over the soil regularly to destroy insect eggs and so on.

If her technical skills didn't allow it, she would even want to use the potion.

"I will publicize all the methods in place." These are the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors.

Quan Nai looked at her deeply and didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay...then I'll take care of things first."

Konoha said "hmm".
