Konoha is also very enthusiastic today

Spring plowing, boundary, straight road, industry...

Konoha was drawing ticks one by one on her notebook, and the pen was spinning flexibly on her fingertips. Her eyes were out of focus, and her eyes were vacant, showing her wandering brain.

Everything that can be arranged is in full swing. Although it is still in the early stages, everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as you survive the initial difficulties, you can just push forward all the way.

She removed her notebook and pulled out last year's annual financial statements.

His eyes suddenly darkened.

Well... Last year, because we adhered to the principle of "poverty alleviation first, making money second", we vigorously improved people's lives and invested funds regardless of expenditures, this resulted in last year's fiscal expenditure reaching an extremely terrible figure. If it weren't for The tailed beasts sold well at the beginning, and they have recovered a lot of their capital one after another during this period. I am afraid that Konoha will face a financial crisis in advance.

But the current situation is not optimistic either.

Because the land of Thunder Country implements a points system, everyone is used to exchanging points for supplies... This method is very helpful to improve people's livelihood, but it also has a fatal weakness, which is that it is too costly.

People use labor points in exchange for houses, which means that they can't earn a penny of money. They are replaced by the real fruits of people's labor, such as the skyrocketing production of food.

Food can also be sold, but this goes against Konoha's idea. She wants Konoha Hidden Village to be self-sufficient, and filling the granary is necessary, so food cannot be moved.

Then you have to consider profits from other aspects.

Such a large fiefdom is simply a bottomless pit for attracting gold. She must find a way to make it generate gold on its own. Otherwise, if she continues to waste it like this, she will burn herself to death first.

There is currently no way to make money from the people in the territory.

Then expand external demand.

Except for some necessary researchers, such as Uncle Tobirama, the main members of the team that built the straight road were basically ninjas.

As we all know, ninjas are known to be workaholics. It is common for them to stay up for days and nights for tasks. Therefore, even if it is a construction project, they naturally put in a lot of effort to rush forward and strive to complete it as soon as possible. construction projects.

It would be great if it could be done before summer comes, because Konoha is afraid that cotton products will be unsaleable and will not be sold in the summer.

Because they were building flat roads instead of railways, which must be completed before they can be put into use, the merchants also went to great lengths to sell off their goods.

Those who can hire ninjas will be hired. Those who can't walk on flat roads will use mountain roads. Those who are slightly weaker and are worried about the cost of hiring will follow up behind the engineering team at any time. For example, now, the straight road has extended to the Kingdom of the Moon and the Kingdom of Tang. At the junction of , they walked along the straight road to the Kingdom of the Moon, went out with loads of goods, and came back with a lot of money...

These are all direct, and there are countless twists and turns in their minds. These businessmen are very shrewd and have seen the potential value of cotton products. In order to maximize the potential value, they even directed and performed the "Middle" There are operations such as "Business Makes the Price Difference".

In short, they all showed off their magical powers and made frequent tricks, which opened Konoha's eyes at the same time. At the same time, he lamented that capitalists will always be capitalists. Even if they are just buds now, they all show the characteristics of going through fire and water for profits.

The most common way for businessmen today to make money is through trading. They earn the price difference based on the differences in customs and prices of goods in each region. This is why belittling businessmen has been a common practice since ancient times. People think that "it is obviously the same item, but it is shipped to Businessmen who "raise prices in other places" are "treacherous and cunning" people, and no noble person would disdain to associate with them.

But of course, anyone who has gone through nine years of compulsory education knows the role that these businessmen can play in "unblocking blood vessels." Konoha has not experienced it, but people have learned enough by themselves, and she also knows it.

How to dig out the potential value of the goods? These merchants are much better than her, so she doesn't need to worry about it herself.

They should be more worried than she is about the unsaleable cotton products. With the brains of those people, there is a high probability that it will not really end up in that situation.

There is only one thing that Konoha has to do, mark the business tax, and then wait for those businessmen to fill her small treasury.

Hmm...the caravan seems to be almost gathered, right?Uncle Quan Nai also flew Thunder God over for this matter.

.........

The Kingdom of the Moon, a certain town.

After the end of the Warring States Period, many countries sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Those big names rushed to seize power and establish institutions, regardless of whether they had real sovereignty. What they pursued and competed for was nothing more than the dividends of "that status."

This has also led to a situation where various countries are uneven, and except for the five major countries, others are not worth mentioning.

The two countries of Fire and Thunder want to build a direct passage. The Daimyo of the Moon Country, who is caught between the two countries, does not even dare to say a word. He has no sense of territorial sovereignty and even offers to help. He just wants to eliminate the evil god in his eyes as soon as possible. Send away.

Fortunately, the engineering team didn't mean to find trouble. They finished repairing the road in this area and moved forward. Now they are almost at the border of Yuno Country...

Thinking of his old enemy, the Daimyo of the Moon Country couldn't help but smile with schadenfreude. He didn't know how anxious he would be when he heard the news... The Daimyo had completely forgotten that not long ago, he was so frightened that he would be in fear all night long. appearance.

"Daimyo, someone in the territory reported that they saw a large caravan coming from the direction of the Kingdom of Thunder and entering the territory of the Kingdom of Moon!"

...Why is it the Kingdom of Thunder again!

What's going on in these two countries recently?It's fun to catch him, right?Bullying other countries is small and weak, right? ?

Pay it back when it’s over!

The Daimyo of the Moon Country spat in his heart, but when it came to one of the five major countries, he did not dare to neglect and hurriedly asked his servants to submit the documents.

He went to see it with 12 points of energy. Although he was not a qualified daimyo, he sat in this position just like most people because he was greedy for power and position. But even for power and position, he could not let the Moon Country Really in crisis.

That way he wouldn't be able to protect himself.

After all, throughout the ages, what has happened to the kings of subjugated countries... right?

However, when he actually spread out the paper, he found that he knew every word, but he couldn't understand it when they were put together.

The document was written by the leader of the caravan and signed "Uchiha Izuna".

.........

No, don't tease him.

The face of the Daimyo of Moon Country twisted.

He also experienced the Warring States Period, right?It had only been a few years since peace, and his memory wasn't that bad!

"Uchiha Izuna"?Uchiha? ?

This surname is familiar to him, so familiar that he feels like vomiting!

The Daimyo of Moon Country was not originally a native of this area. To be more precise, he was one of the people who lost during the chaotic battles of the Warring States Period.

He still remembered the war he waged with all his wealth, and the war that made him fall from the high aristocracy to the quagmire.

He invested all his family's savings and hired five ninjas. A war that he thought he had a chance to win was defeated miserably because the enemy hired "Uchiha", and there was no way to make a comeback.

He still couldn't figure out why the weak person opposite could afford to hire an Uchiha!That's Uchiha! !

Even the strongest ninja clan that he had to consider over and over again but finally gave up on was not something that little nobles like them could afford. Even if he went bankrupt, he might not be able to hire one, so he settled for the next best thing. Five other ninja clans were chosen.

When he first heard that the other party had hired an Uchiha, apart from feeling cold in his heart, he felt a little bit lucky.

After all, no matter how powerful Uchiha is, he is only a ninja. Although his quality is not enough, quantity is definitely an advantage, right?

Then reality teaches him how to behave.

The overwhelming defeat on the battlefield told him that if he wanted to deal with Uchiha, in addition to inviting the Senju, other ninjas would be given as gifts.

Not to mention how heartbroken he was at that time, he had completely memorized the name "Uchiha" and the legendary "Senju" who could compete with it.

If things hadn't turned out later and he escaped into the Moon Kingdom by chance, it would have been difficult for him to become a commoner, let alone become a famous person.

The era of peace has come, and he originally thought that as long as he stayed calm, stayed in the Moon Country, and didn't pull the beards of the five major countries, he would be able to spend his old age peacefully.

As a result, it didn't take long for him to see this surname again, and his stomach ached just thinking about it.

Uchiha, Gan.

The Daimyo of the Kingdom of the Moon put away the documents in great depression. He had to manage his expression well and not lose his authority in front of his servants.

He is so difficult.

"Daimyo, do you want to meet him?" the servant asked softly, "Although he is from the Kingdom of Thunder, he is a humble businessman after all. He actually said that he wanted to meet the daimyo directly. He is really lying..."

"Hmm!" The Daimyo of Moon Country coughed violently, interrupting his servant. He calmly waved his hand and dismissed the servant, "I will deal with this myself, so don't speculate on my thoughts without permission."

The servant lowered his head in fear: "Yes!"

"Go down."

When there was no one in the hall, the great name of the Kingdom of the Moon sighed quietly.

How could it not be seen?

Who knows what these people are planning... Speaking of which, isn't the Uchiha family stationed in the hidden village of Konoha in the Land of Fire?How could he run from the Kingdom of Thunder without any problems?

I don't understand.

But since the other party is doing business in the name of business, it proves that there is still room for negotiation... That's right, and he has not caused any trouble. How could those big countries suddenly want to deal with him?

He thought again about the paperwork he had just read.

That Uchiha clansman was extremely skilled in the use of diplomatic rhetoric. Every word was perfectly coherent and contained no hidden meanings, as if he was just here to do business.

Hmm... let's get in touch first.

The Daimyo of the Moon Country thought so.

Anyway, as long as we don’t meet Uchiha on the battlefield, there’s no need to be too nervous.
