Become a famous ninja

And also in this hot summer.

Kai did not stay in Kyoto, nor did he pay special attention to the major plot events that were about to happen in Konoha. For Kei, he had already said before that he did not want to participate in the plot of the Nine-Tails Rebellion. It is enough to confirm that the Fourth Hokage and his wife died in battle, because only in this way can Kei have an excuse to get involved in Konoha affairs.

Before that, it really didn't have much to do with Qi Huan.

There was that time.

Qi might as well focus more on the development of his own domestic government affairs.

In fact.

After entering June.

Kai left Kyoto City temporarily and came to the vast plain area in the southern region of the Country of Fire. As the land with the flattest terrain and the most fertile soil resources, the agriculture that Kai focused on basically fell here. in an area.

And it also involves the construction of the railway connecting the north and the south.

It is necessary to achieve reasonable planning, not to encroach on farmland, and to achieve the most resource-saving construction route.

Although it is said that there are two major departments in the official government led by "Dan Zhengyin" and "Supervisory Minister" who overtly monitor national officials and major projects and policies (the former is responsible for the official supervision stipulated in the convention, and the latter is Check those projects, policies, infrastructure), there is also a monitoring department in the guardian ninja, which is secretly monitoring these people and these things.

However, Qi still feels that it is necessary to go deep into the grassroots regularly to understand the situation.

And this regular schedule only means that you have to go there every once in a while.

Specific inspection time.

The decision must be made on an ad hoc basis.

And you have to leave as soon as you say it.

Notify anyone.

You must know that the current political and bureaucratic system of the Fire Country, especially the local system, is somewhat similar to the Spring and Autumn Period of the ancient Celestial Dynasty.

The monarch sits in the middle.

The nobles below divided and ruled.

Except for the area near Kyoto City, which is directly controlled by the daimyo, the other areas are all held by nobles from large and small famous families as city lords, coordinating the management of an area with this city as the core.

In some cities with the strongest local power.

Not just the city lord.

The subordinate officers are all from this family's faction.

This was the normal state of the Fire Nation in the past.

The reason why Kei allowed those people to run amok during that rebellion, and was suspected of deliberately guiding them, was to find an excuse to clean up these people. Later, because of Masuda Jun's advice, Kei slowed down a little. own steps.

There is no real extermination of these people.

Of course, the pros and cons of this are obvious.

The advantage is that without expansion, and the equalization of interests, Qi can smoothly transition the Fire Country regime at the beginning of his succession. The disadvantage is that the power of the nobles remains. stable.

Don't look at everyone now bowing to Qi.

But that's because of the current situation.

Even if they say they will obey Qi's orders in this life, what will happen after Qi's death?That is an outcome that Qisuo cannot tolerate.

So necessary reforms are still needed.

It's just that Qi intends to use another method to solve this problem as quietly as possible. The core issues are communication issues, the official selection system, and the most important national economic output value!

The official selection system cannot be touched yet!

Before education reaches a certain level.

Qi could only make some changes on the edges and corners, but the specific selection and appointment of officials still had to be done the same way.

Therefore, the current plan is to focus on communication issues and the overall development of the country's economy.

There are already basic forms of wired and wireless communications in this world. What Qi wants to do is to further promote this technology. Not only to make it the same as in the previous life, the whole world is like a village, but at least to make it the same as in the previous life. The point where any contact can be made within the Land of Fire.

This time limit, Qi himself set, is ten years!

And then the same goes for transportation.

Railways are just the first step.

In the future, we will also vigorously develop general transportation vehicles such as cars and airplanes.

When the news of the entire country can be communicated in an instant using conventional methods, and ordinary personnel movement can arrive within a day at most.

Only then can this country truly enter the period of Qi's strongest control.

these four railways.

It was the first step that Kai had great hopes for.

Qi Naturally does not allow anyone to destroy it, including this agricultural pilot development area in the southern plains.

To say that it is 100% compatible is definitely nonsense.

However, Qi hopes to see the two complement each other as much as possible and jointly promote the development of the country.

therefore.

The end of June and the beginning of July will be the hottest period in the country.

Qi brought his core group of ministers and subordinates to the southern plain area of ​​the country.

This was the area where the nobles had the most serious resistance before.

After Qi recruited some people, belittled some people, and even secretly executed a few people, the central government's policies could be successfully implemented here.

"Does this area belong to Shimono Castle?"

Looking at the lush and prosperous farmland in front of him, Qi nodded with satisfaction, then turned to the crowd behind him and asked the Lieutenant General who followed him out this time.

"Yes, my lord, this area falls under the jurisdiction of Shimoye Castle, and a little to the west is adjacent to Mino Castle!"

A slightly short middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle and wearing the uniform of one of the four official officials of the Land of Fire also stepped out and said respectfully.

This man is the Secretary of State of the Country of Fire. Xiangliang Zongsuke, who was born in the traditional Xiangliang clan of the Country of Fire, can be regarded as a decent official of the Country of Fire. After some investigation before Qi, this man Although the Secretary of State is not very capable, he can reach this position mostly because of his family background.

But at least it won't hold you back, and you have a bottom line.

Therefore, Qi still allowed him to stay in the position of Secretary of the Central Committee and be responsible for managing some basic affairs.

This trip.

He also brought them with him. After all, Matsubara, Shimazaki, Kondo and others are the most important ministers of the Fire Country. When Kai himself is not in Kyoto, he has to rely on the three of them to handle government affairs. The current cabinet has just been formed. A prototype.

It is impossible to really replace these ministers.

"Oh? Where are Shimono Mamoru and Mino Mamoru?"

Qi nodded slightly, and then spoke next.

"Yes, your Majesty is here!"

Among the group of people at the back, two middle-aged men also came out in response.

One person has a dark complexion and the other person is thin and frail.

He was the lord of Shimono Castle and Mino Castle.

"The development of agriculture is the country's most important government affairs this year. In the southern region, especially in the lower fields and Meinong, you two must pay special attention to this, and you must also pay attention to other subsidy issues. Do you understand? "

Qi looked at the two city lords who were promoted by him and said in a very solemn tone.

During the different kind of 'negotiations' with the nobles in the southern region.

Qi had discussions in other aspects.

Only in the two cities of Shimono Castle and Mino Castle.

They are very forceful and want to choose their own officials to serve.

Moreover, two teams of guardian ninja and ANBU personnel were deliberately arranged to monitor these two cities.

This is the most critical step in his agricultural reform plan.

Qi does not allow anyone to destroy it.
