Konoha is also very enthusiastic today

??

Cicadas chirped.

The wooden leaves blew off the tender green leaves that fell on the hands, watching the slightly curved leaf go away with the wind, and then settled on a ripple on the pond.

"Miss."

Someone behind him respectfully handed over a document and said, "This is the first quarter financial report."

"Okay." Konoha took it and waved people to leave.

Summer is here, and it’s time to wrap up the work in the spring and look forward to the future for the second quarter.

If she were to say what was the most satisfying achievement for Konoha in the first quarter, she would answer that it was the wave of new industries that she had single-handedly set off.

After opening up people's ideas in this regard, there will naturally be people who are pursuing profits, holding torches, and exploring this unknown field with full enthusiasm and adventurous spirit. In the process, profits will be driven. A big rolling snowball.

With the rise of factories, the roar of machinery can be heard throughout this area, and water and electricity have been introduced into every household. While improving the quality of people's lives, it also allows them to experience the benefits of industry.

In addition to the convenience of life, the most commendable thing is the economic leap.

Agriculture and industry, this is a qualitative leap. Why is it that no matter what other conditions are, an industrial country is destined to defeat an agricultural country?The rise of industry brought about innovation in productivity.For example, a factory's daily production of cloth can be calculated in terms of tonnage, and one person can only produce no more than two pieces of cloth by hand, even if one takes time to rest and eat.

Not in the same dimension at all.

However, precisely because of this, the penetration of industry will definitely have a devastating impact on the natural economy of agricultural countries.If tens of thousands of pieces of cloth are dumped in the international market every day, the cheapness created by the quantity will inevitably beat the artificial cloth produced in agricultural countries. If this phenomenon occurs in various fields, it will sooner or later cause a devastating blow to a country's economy.

That would arouse hostility from agricultural countries and even lead to war.

In order to conserve energy, Konoha did not intend to be so ostentatious. She did not want to attract a large amount of hostility for herself prematurely, so even with this productivity, she would not be able to support her independence until the materials filled the warehouse. It is not intended to be put on the market without scruples and cause shock.

It is a pity that the productivity innovation in industry cannot drive agricultural growth at the same speed. Although it has still accelerated a lot, farming cannot be separated from the law of spring sowing and autumn harvest. It can only affect the yield, nutritional value, taste...etc. aspect.

Businessmen are simply building industries with reckless abandon. This trend is very good, but she also needs to remind them to pay more attention to agriculture and not to be too exposed to the international perspective.

Products such as oil and cotton products are basic storage. They must be put into the market while ensuring their own supply. The quantity must be controlled to prevent "tens of thousands of cloths from being dumped overnight" and other similar "miracles" in the eyes of agricultural countries. , and thus pushed Konoha's forces to the forefront when conditions were still immature.

Because agricultural countries can also produce oil and cotton, of course they know what their productivity is "under normal circumstances". If an industrial machine suddenly appears and beats them...well, Konoha can imagine the beauty. picture.

But for industries with certain technical content, there is no need to worry so much.

Quite simply, because the wall between this product and the agricultural country is too thick, they can't understand it, and naturally they can't judge the productivity.Relying on gaps in knowledge and promoting product instructions, you can still make money in the market, and the risk is still low.

This is what is called, when the distance between the two is only one, the conflict is most likely to intensify.And if this distance is [-] million, then all conflicts will be smoothed out by the excessive information gap, just like a firefly to a bright moon, distance creates safety.

Because of this, what Konoha asked Mr. Izuna to carry away, in addition to a wave of cotton products to be sold off, were also some technical products - but of course, she could imagine it, and other countries only focused on the former. .

After this wave, cotton will be sown widely all over the world, Konoha thought indifferently.

It doesn't matter, as long as you can make the first wave of gold, you can cut leeks as much as you want when profits are the greatest.

It's worth noting that...

Explosive population growth.

The foreign population who flowed into the fiefdom was also included in the population statistics after the unified reissue of score cards. This part just made up for the missing workers.Konoha had to boast about this and use the power of the sect to attract people. He was finally willing to obey.

Since it has been included in the territory, it is also her labor force.

At a time when farmers are generally reluctant to change jobs, some gangsters who have the courage to reform are the best factory labor force.

……

Although, there is still an issue that cannot be ignored.

Konoha frowned and called Senju Isui, who had the deepest contact with the common people.

"Miss, what are your orders?"

"How are the arrangements for those immigrants?" Konoha's tone was unpredictable.

Qianju Yishui had a question mark on his head, but he still answered honestly: "According to your instructions, they will be centralized in the new residential area for unified management. Those who have had a 'crime mark' will have their personal freedom restricted until they serve their sentence." .”

"..." Konoha clasped his hands, "Centralized management..." This is the place.

"Yishui, how do new immigrants and local residents get along?"

Senju Issui suddenly choked on her words. Under Konoha's calm gaze, she slowly lowered her head: "...It's very bad, Miss. The local residents are very xenophobic, and the new immigrants are concentrated in new areas for accommodation." They have little contact with the outside world, and there is a deep gap between them."

Knew it.

Konoha sighed.

"Actually, it's not necessarily that the locals are xenophobic. The people here are quite hospitable." Konoha shook his head and sighed, "It's mainly a matter of first impression... When the immigrants first came, no one noticed. They brought their bad habits here, wreaked havoc on the fiefdom, and disrupted order. The local residents didn’t know where they came from at first, but we took action and put them all under control. In their eyes, they are all labeled as 'villains'."

This wave, this wave is a map cannon.

But the disgust of local residents is understandable. Who would like someone who undermines social stability?

Qianju Yishui pondered for a moment and thought: "So, Miss, do you want to spread them out?"

"...There is no need to rush this. Integration is a slow process. But you can select the best performers and select them one by one based on the allocation of employee dormitories before releasing them to the outside world. In this way, the remaining ones can also be treated step by step. People have a motivating effect.”

Yi Shui nodded: "Yes."

.........

The next day, Senju Issui briefly explained the matter on the news station.

Konoha originally thought that based on Issui's status in the hearts of the people, even if some people would express dissatisfaction, they would not object openly for her sake.

But what none of them expected was that as soon as this incident came out, it aroused fierce opposition.

Listening to the angry shouts of "No" and "Think twice" from the crowd below, Issui and Konoha behind him looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.

...This is already a contradiction beyond expectations.

There must be a reason that they don't know.

Qianju Yishui immediately stepped off the stage, grabbed the loudest voice in the crowd and asked, "Why not? Can you tell me the reason?"

"..." It was the first time for the young man to come into such close contact with Senju Yishui that he felt like he was suffocating.

He hesitated for a while, and the way he evaded and evaded made Yishui even more suspicious. She looked around the crowd and said coldly: "I hope everyone will not hide anything. If the person above finds out, you will be responsible for your concealment behavior." Pay a greater price."

Senju Issui is a ninja of Konoha.

No matter how she was changed by the devil in the eyes of ordinary people, Issui herself grew up as a ninja. Her first priority is to obey orders and complete the task at all costs.

Although she is usually gentle to the people, once it comes to hindering the mission, her ninja aura will naturally come out.

Under the strong pressure of the ninja aura, some people with unstable minds finally shouted: "This is not our fault! Because, because... there is a plague on those outsiders! Let them out, and we will all die!" "

After shouting, the man covered his face and remained silent.

"..." Qianju Yishui was also stunned.

She finally understood why these people refused to speak.

Because of things like plague, since ancient times, people's method of dealing with it has been "I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go."

In order to "block the source of the disease", all suspected, symptomatic and exposed people, regardless of whether they are correct or not, will be "disposed of".

There once was a situation where a plague appeared in a place, and then the local nobles killed all the people in that village. Those people didn't care whether they killed by accident or not. In their opinion, their lives were worthless anyway. Compared with risking It would be so convenient and trouble-free to look for "survivors" and kill them all. When someone asks, just use the excuse of "preventing the spread of the plague" to stop everyone. This sentence can stop everyone's mouths.

Yes, what if, what if the "survivors" saved are actually infected, and the infection spreads to them without them realizing it?

Over time, people came to know that when a plague occurred, they could contact anyone, but they must not let the people above know about it, otherwise none of them would be able to escape.

If their achievements in these days hadn't made the local residents trust them enough, they might have concealed the plague to the very end, even to the point of death.

...Even so, people are still a little frightened.

They watched with trepidation as Senju Isui stood there for a while, then decisively turned around and went to the back of the news station, disappearing from all of their sight.

Senju Issui found Konoha, who seemed to have turned into a statue, motionless.

"Miss..." She looked embarrassed and swallowed, "What should I do about this?"

She couldn't help but feel despair just thinking about it.

However, Senju Issui still cast his hopeful eyes on Konoha.

Although the enemy this time is extremely terrifying.

...But, as for the eldest lady, there must be no problem, right?

She will definitely find a way.
