Chapter 18: Poor Hands and the Expanding Uchiha, Money Doesn't Disappear, It Just Moves

Qianshou Buddha felt that something was not right recently.

Although the number of tasks has increased, the number of high-end tasks has decreased a lot, and the task fees for a few occasional large tasks have also been lowered.

However, because the tribe's expenses have also decreased, it is possible to maintain stability within the tribe.

The tribesmen who go on missions always sigh, "The recent missions are so easy" and "These easy missions have made my skills decline."

It has been a long time since a member of the tribe died during a mission.

Everything looks good.

But Qianshou Buddha felt something was wrong.

If the difficulty of the mission is further reduced to the level that ordinary samurai can complete it, will anyone still need ninjas?

The Thousand-Armed Buddha shuddered.

He found the butler of the noble master, who he used to contact frequently but had not sent any missions to for a long time.

At first, the butler was in a friendly mood and laughed it off, saying that the world was peaceful recently and it was normal that the task was not difficult.

After three rounds of drinks, the butler, with a red face, began to complain to Thousand-Handed Buddha.

"It's not that I don't want to continue hiring you, it's just that you Senju are too expensive. The Uchiha clan doesn't come out for missions easily now, and the level of the enemies encountered in the missions is not that high. Our master doesn't think it's necessary to hire you Senju. The funding each time is only so little. I must find a ninja clan that charges less to do the work."

The Thousand-Handed Buddha seemed a little dazed.

They, the Senju, actually want to make money by relying on the Uchiha?

"Brother, now that the country is stable, don't we still have missions involving foreign countries? The Water Country and the Lightning Country, the ninjas in their countries are not easy to deal with either, there will always be places where the Thousand Hands can be used."

The drunken butler waved his hand and said, "Brother Qianshou, I'll tell you straight out. No matter how good Qianshou is or how high his completion rate is, it's useless. Your hiring fee is too high."

"In the early years, both domestic and foreign affairs were in chaos, especially with the Uchiha, those crazy money-making red-eyed rabbits causing trouble. If we wanted to do something, we had to rely on you to ensure safety. But now, the Uchiha is safe."

When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden.

Qianshou Fojian looked at the butler's sleeping face, but his back couldn't stop shivering.

If the war and chaos are over, will the Senju and the Ninja still have a future?

What was Uchiha thinking when he retired?

----

What are the Uchiha clan, who are missed by everyone, doing?

Catch any Uchiha clan member and they will say, we are busy!

too busy!

Too busy!!!!

Every few months, the big bosses in the tribe would suddenly issue a lot of tasks.

The tribe's sun patches need to be made by hand, and someone needs to collect the peas shot by the pea shooter at any time and transport them to the workshop to be made into pea powder.

The Great Elder's people are studying how to make ninjutsu sealing packs. If they can really make it, then they can completely ignore the limitation of chakra. As long as there are enough ninjutsu sealing packs, they can be used and thrown at will during battle. The weakness of Uchiha's scarce chakra may be completely compensated.

The Third Elder's people studied how to make armor with walnut shells, but they didn't make the armor, but they made a rocking car. When they encounter danger, they put the two halves of the shell together. It is fire-resistant and frost-resistant, waterproof and windproof, and it is also very heavy. They no longer have to worry about their children being stolen.

The intelligence department has to cooperate with the caravan and the four elders to do things. Madam Chibiru and Lord Su have figured out a new way to cheat money and want to try it. The clan and the Kingdom of Thunder have been in frequent contact recently, and they also need manpower to manage it.

More and more shops are opening along the way from the Land of Fire to the Land of Lightning. Those in the tribe who are good at cooking are required to take Mrs. Mikiko's cooking training class, so that they can immediately fill in the gaps when a shop is needed.

Not only that!

There are so many businessmen out there who want to take advantage of Uchiha's route to transport pea powder and seek protection to discuss cooperation. They say that as long as Uchiha agrees to let them follow Uchiha's team, they are willing to pay even if they don't need to provide protection.

It is said that when the patriarch heard this request for the first time, he went out and looked at the sun, fearing that he was in an illusion.

Now there is no idle person in the entire Uchiha. Those who had to leave the front battlefield due to injuries were dragged away to help the Sixth Elder squeeze oil.

Not to mention the well-informed elderly people, let alone excessive wear of the Sharingan, myopia, presbyopia, and glaucoma, after taking a dose of the sun patch, they all have to come out to work.

If Uchiha's big treasure summons something new, the already precarious manpower will probably have to be assigned to study the application of the new thing.

Thinking of the high probability of such a development, Uchiha wanted to faint immediately. Before he could close his eyes, he was helped up by his companions.

"Don't think about being lazy in a coma!"

……

When the Uchiha transformed into black-faced rabbits, he helped Tajima deal with clan affairs. Uchiha Madara, who couldn't remember how long he hadn't slept a full night's sleep, applied to his father with dark circles under his eyes.

"We can't go on like this. We need new people."

Tiandao looked up from the documents on the table and said, "Manpower is easy to say, but it depends on the people of the clan."

Both men and women are busy, and the most direct impact is the fertility rate in the tribe.

As the clan leader, no matter how much he manages, it is impossible for him to even manage other people's bedrooms.

His own eldest son is already seventeen years old and doesn't even have a fiancée.

Uchiha Madara, who had no idea that his father was going to find him a partner, expressed his thoughts very seriously, "Father, many of the jobs in our clan that currently take up a lot of manpower do not necessarily have to be done by ninjas. For example, the production of pea flour, the final crushing step can be entrusted to nearby farmers."

"There is also the work of pressing the oil. We just need to wrap the oil cakes and let them do the rest."

Tajima rubbed his face and sobered up a little. What Madara said was a method, because the key to their two products was the plants summoned by Kyojuro. As for the follow-up, they were all routine operations, and there was no need to worry about the leakage of confidential technology.

Previously, the clan kept the products secret, mainly because they were few in number and would not give them away if others learned from them. Now, after more than two years of development, the Uchiha brand has become well-known, and the nobles have tacitly accepted that only the walnut oil produced by the Uchiha is the real walnut oil.

This is also thanks to Su and Senbiro, as well as the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning.

Now is also the time to re-plan.

"It's feasible. You discuss it with Izunai and come up with a procedure for recruiting people and subsequent management of rewards and punishments."

"Yes, father."

------

"Have you heard? The Uchiha are looking for workers."

"Work? What kind of work? Can we peasants be of use?"

"They say they are grinding something into powder. They have set up a stone mill in the vacant lot behind the Uchiha family. I want to try it. Do you want to come?"

"I won't go. I still have land at home."

"I really envy you for having a piece of land. After my parents died, all the land in our family was given to my eldest brother."

The listeners also fell silent. It was a custom agreed upon by the world that the family land was left to the eldest son. The second son could either help the eldest son farm and earn a living, or he had to leave his hometown and find a way out somewhere else.

"I'm going!"

"Be careful!"

Ever since the Uchiha clan announced that they were recruiting workers, the above conversation has taken place in almost every village close to the Uchiha clan's territory.

The last ones to report were those who had no land at home and were struggling to make ends meet.

There were also many women who mixed in the crowd nervously with their heads buried low.

The sixth elder, Uchiha Boyan, walked up to the crowd and began to explain the recruitment needs.

"We're looking for someone to help grind the grain! Both men and women are welcome!"

As soon as the word "food" was mentioned, everyone became excited, and the originally nervous woman raised her head and stared at the adult who was speaking in front of her.

"Don't worry, as long as you work hard and do your part, we will share some of the ground grain as your wages!"

He took out a small gourd-shaped ladle, about the size of Kyojuro's palm.

"One scoop per person, you can get it when you get off work!"

One scoop! Every day!

As soon as the treatment was mentioned, everyone's eyes lit up and the original uneasy atmosphere disappeared.

Fire Core sighed with Madara and Izuna in the background, "This kind of thing really has to be done by my uncle."

Quan Na nodded in agreement.

"Okay, we have to go help."

Madara waved his hand and called on the Uchiha who was waiting beside him to register the villagers.

They cut a lot of bamboo from the back mountain, roasted it with fire technique and made it into small bamboo signs.

The front side is written with the name of the recruited villagers and the work to be done, while the back side is written with the village where the villagers are located and their specific address.

The mill also had strict rules and regulations.

Before anyone enters, they must wash their hands and face, change into the work clothes provided by the Uchiha, and wear a hat.

Because the villagers were so dirty, they forced everyone to take a bath on the first day.

Fire escape has completely become a tool for boiling water.

After entering the mill, the men were assigned to push the mill, while the women were assigned to sift and bag the grains.

The materials provided by Uchiha are all cut and dried pea chunks, and it is almost impossible to tell that they are actually peas.

The mill would provide a bowl of brown rice porridge and a small portion of pickles at noon.

It is not allowed to smuggle anything out of the mill. If found, the person will be fired immediately.

Since none of the villagers were literate, the Sixth Elder simply sent an Uchiha with a loud speaker to circle the mill grounds, repeating the rules and regulations as he went.

The villagers were obviously frightened by such a serious atmosphere, but when they thought of the porridge and pickles at noon, as well as the food they would receive after work, they were full of energy again.

……

Three days later, the first batch of pea flour produced by the mill was loaded onto the transport team's wagons.

I have to say that after handing over the job of grinding pea powder to others, Uchiha did feel a little more relaxed and was able to free up his hands to do more things.

Izuna and Kyojuro talked about the scene that day, and they were filled with emotion.

"The Sixth Elder is really powerful. When he comes out, all the villagers become quiet."

Uchiha Madara, who had a rare chance to take a break from the never-ending clan affairs, also joined the conversation.

"That's because they admire the Sixth Elder and the people in the agricultural department. If there's anything else going on, in the villages around us, if there's no seedling growing in the fields, the whole village will pool some money together as gifts and ask the Sixth Elder for help."

"I want to be as powerful as Master in the future."

"Then Kyojuro needs to work harder," Madara rubbed Kyojuro's hair. The familiar touch was still as pleasant as ever.

Izuna held Kyojuro's hand and continued, "It only takes a little bit of pea powder, and the villagers are like being trapped in an illusion. No one wants to leave, even when the guards stare at them with their Sharingans and force them to take a shower, no one says they don't want to leave."

"In this world, people are really worthless."
