Tsunade, you're really drunk!

Although Qing was trying to control his expression at the moment, a huge wave of emotion had already surged in his heart.

What was Uchiha Qianye planning? He was willing to let Kirigakure take an extra 5% tariff just because he wanted to have some commodity warehouses in Kirigakure?

What surprised him the most was that the other party actually dared to let the people from the Hidden Mist Village be responsible for the armed guard of the warehouse. You know, if this were the case, once the Hidden Mist Village had any compassion, wouldn't the things in the warehouse be given to them for free?

Although Qing really wanted to agree to this condition immediately, his instinct told him that this matter must not be as simple as he thought.

After all, the man in front of him was the one who used thundering methods to directly bring about a change of dynasty in the upper echelons of Konoha.

And according to gossip, it seems that this guy also got involved in the recent issue of succession to the daimyo of the Fire Country.

If we give a 5% profit cut, won’t their daimyō object?

He didn't believe that Qianye's words at this moment could represent the entire Fire Nation.

After all, although the Ninja Village has a population of hundreds of thousands, it is just a village after all. The entire country is the cornerstone and controls the most massive resources and money.

Qing tried his best to suppress the waves in his heart, and continued to maintain a calm expression on his face as he looked at Qianye.

"Mr. Qianye, I wonder if this 10% tariff is only for the products of your Konoha, or for the products of the entire Land of Fire?"

"This is not the same concept, don't confuse it."

"The size of a village is far less than the size of a country."

Qianye's body leaned back, and the sword-like brows between his eyebrows relaxed at this moment.

"Don't worry, our Godaime Hokage is a blood relative of our current Daimyo."

"Of course it's the products of the entire Land of Fire. How can it be just the products of Konoha Village?"

"The Daimyo-sama has great trust in our Hokage-sama."

"Is there anything else you need to worry about?"

Although he understood what Qianye said, after all, who in the entire ninja world didn't know the name of Princess Tsunade?

But why do I feel that after these words came out of Qianye's mouth, there was a hint of something fishy?

Why does it feel like I'm just pretending...

Qing has now confirmed the scope of the tariffs. After all, the Fire Nation is famously rich.

The land is flat and rich in resources, including mineral resources and lakes, although some of the resources do not look as good as those in other villages individually.

For example, its minerals are not as good as those of the Wind Kingdom, its fisheries are not as good as those of the Water Kingdom, and so on.

But the Fire Nation has everything, and it’s not lacking anything. This is what makes other villages jealous!

But Qing still refused to believe that the extra 5% tariff could be given to them so easily.

"Mr. Qianye, please explain it to me clearly."

"Why is there an additional 5% tariff increase? Is there any hidden reason?"

"Although this matter is a great thing for the entire Kirigakure and even the Land of Water."

"But after all, this is a serious matter, so I have to be careful."

Qianye's expression suddenly turned a little ugly, as if there was something he couldn't hide.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke.

"Well, it's not a very important thing, it's just a little embarrassing."

"Your Excellency must promise not to spread this."

Qing immediately became interested at this moment. Looking at Qianye's expression and demeanor, it didn't seem like he was pretending.

"Please tell me, Your Excellency. We are the high-ranking officials of the village."

"We naturally have to keep these conversations confidential."

"After all, you were willing to let us raise tariffs by 5 percent."

"Since we've received the money, we'll naturally keep this secret. I just want to make the village safe and secure."

Qianye heaved a sigh of relief only after seeing Qing's assurance.

"In fact, there is no such item in the original treaty."

"But unfortunately, there are too many ministers behind the succession of the daimyo of our Fire Country."

"We wanted to bribe those ministers with money, but they have no shortage of money."

"Instead, they gave us two conditions."

Qing, who was sitting opposite Qianye, and Guideng Huanyue, who was standing behind Qing, both showed interest on their faces at once.

It tastes like melon, I love to listen to it and want to listen to it.

The gossip about the nobles and the powerful is not something you can hear whenever you want.

"What two conditions?"

Man Yue Kizuna couldn't help her curiosity and asked subconsciously.

Qing immediately turned around, looked serious, and scolded the other person.

"presumptuous!"

"How can you be so unreasonable!"

Then he turned around and greeted Qianye with a smile.

"Please continue, sir. I'm really sorry for what I said just now."

"I didn't discipline him enough."

Qianye waved his hand.

"It doesn't matter."

"Although these two things may sound absurd, please believe them."

“The first thing is to satisfy their purchasing needs. They want to be able to buy more local luxury goods from other countries.”

"For example, the Thunder Country's Thunder Beef and Thunder Wine, the Water Country's deep-sea fish, the Wind Country's special minerals, the Earth Country's rock sheep meat and rock paintings and other specialties."

"The second thing is that we need to provide them with a place to store their goods."

"Those daimyo felt that transporting their goods was too cumbersome and cost too much money to hire caravans to run them around."

“It’s better to build the warehouse directly where you want to sell the goods. This way, you can save a lot of money.”

"That's why we're asked to add this to the treaty."

After hearing this, Qing couldn't help but shake his head secretly. Is this the top leader of the Fire Nation?

It's so ridiculous, but it's true precisely because it sounds so ridiculous.

This is how the ninja world is. The daimyo and the powerful hold the largest amounts of money and power in their hands, and their luxurious lives are unimaginable to ordinary people.

If Qing had not once served as the bodyguard of the Daimyo of the Water Kingdom and had witnessed that kind of life of extravagance, debauchery, and drinking, he would not have dared to believe it.

But at this moment, precisely because he had seen it before, he believed Qian Ye’s statement even more.

"Well, since you are willing to tell me all the reasons."

"How could I refuse?"

"The tariff has been raised to 10%, and we need to lease land. I have agreed on behalf of Kirigakure and Water Country."

Qing can now agree to this treaty with peace of mind.

After all, it is just rented out, and the armed forces are still under our control. If any trouble really occurs, it can be suppressed quickly.

He even wanted to ask the merchants from the Fire Nation to rent more. This way, the high-quality goods from the Fire Nation could allow the villagers of Kirigakure to buy better daily necessities and live a better life.

However, what he didn't know was that the reasons Qianye gave were just made up.

There is a reason why Tsunade stayed in the capital of the Fire Country for so long, because of the matter of the daimyo's succession.

Behind the scenes, the positions of Minister of Finance and Minister of Taxation have been handed over to their sons, and their sons, with the help of Tsunade, have surrendered to the Daimyo.

As for the daimyo...he was firmly held in Tsunade's hands.

It may not sound good to say that they are controlling each other, but it is better to say that they have formed a united front...
