Konoha's strongest substitute user

Pick up a piece of rice dumpling cut into small squares with chopsticks and put it into your mouth. The sticky chewiness of glutinous rice, the fragrance of reed leaves, the sweetness of red beans and sugar, and the taste of dates all mix together, which immediately reminds Dongxing. Dragon Boat Festival in my hometown.

The so-called Yexiang rice balls are indeed rice dumplings.

Also, this world is too small. Wei Mi, who I only met in the afternoon, was actually the one who cooked the dinner dishes. It seems that Wei Mi is the previous Chief Chef, and this current Chief Chef is still Wei Mi's apprentice.

Chewing the extremely delicately arranged rice dumplings in his mouth, Dongxing had been listening to the daimyo and Shikaku struggling for a long time on issues such as tax distribution and construction investment.

The village seems to hope that Shikaku will ensure that the tax revenue is at least 50-50 divided. In addition, the City of Fire will be responsible for the investment, and Konoha will only be responsible for part of the manpower and future security.

To be honest, the position of Konoha Second Village is still a bit embarrassing.

In most countries with a ninja village system, even in small countries, ninja villages are distinguished from other cities. This is a matter of convention. Wars between ninjas generally do not affect cities outside of ninja villages. In wars between countries, unless it is a war to destroy a country, ninja villages rarely fully participate in the wars of ordinary people. go. Ninjas who participate in ordinary people's wars usually participate in the form of mercenaries or accept commissions, and use decapitation as the main method of combat.

The future geographical location and population composition of Konoha Second Village means that this city will definitely break the existing habits to a certain extent. This new city will inevitably extend some of its military attributes from Konoha Village and become the eyes of Konoha Village's enemies. secondary goals. Perhaps from a non-war perspective, the new city will be the safest city outside the City of Fire that allows civilians to enter and exit at will, but considering that after the war, the level of danger here will probably be directly on par with Konoha Village itself.

For Konoha, the new city is a step in which dangers and opportunities coexist. It is from this perspective that Konoha will ask the City of Fire to ask for half of the tax revenue and no investment for the work.

By the time Shikaku and the Daimyo reached an agreement, Choji had already changed four tables of food and started to attack the fifth table.

"Really, Mr. Shikaku and Kujo Tosei really refreshed my view of the ninjas of Konoha Village." The daimyo took out a delicate handkerchief and wiped his forehead: "Today, I found a little bit about the daimyo of other countries. What’s it like to negotiate?”

As a middle-aged man with a handsome temperament despite having a scar on his face, Shikaku let out a burst of laughter with a bold and bold temperament that was completely different from the previous conversation, and avoided answering the daimyo's words.

The daimyo didn't care. Anyway, this new city is the icing on the cake for the rich Fire Country rather than a timely help. Building such a new city is more of an attempt to make better use of ninja resources: "Then the words of these philistines stop here. Well, Kujo Tosei, you came up with this statement, and you must have some good suggestions for new city construction."

"Since the Daimyo asked, I will express my personal opinion." Dongxing stood up from sitting cross-legged: "I think the construction of a new city should be divided into several important points."

"The first is infrastructure construction. A new city will inevitably be built from scratch, so it is best to have the infrastructure in place in one step." Dongxing thought about these issues on his way to the City of Fire.

This was the first time the Daimyo heard this statement, and he casually asked: "What is this infrastructure you are talking about?"

"Good question." Dongxing raised his hand to signal Jiangbao.jpg: "The so-called infrastructure refers to facilities including transportation, postal service, water supply and power supply, culture and education, medical and health care, etc. A city can create value and bring Income must be based on people, and infrastructure is the basic guarantee that makes people willing to settle in a new city and create greater benefits, and it is also an important facility that improves the happiness of people's lives."

"For example, in terms of transportation, I think that in terms of transportation, we can learn advanced technology from Snow Country, and closely connect Konoha Village, the new city and the City of Fire, which can deepen the trade between the three parties. Konoha provides high-quality security Protection, the Fire Country represented by the City of Fire provides policy support and trade guarantees to merchants, and the new city is a new market and producer."

The daimyo carefully searched for information about Snow Country in his mind. This country seemed to be a small country in a remote place. It did not appear to be a very powerful country: "You said you wanted to cooperate with Snow Country to learn technology. What technology does Snow Country have?" , can improve the existing traffic level.”

"Good question." Dongxing felt as if he had said this just now, but the problem was not big: "Snow Country has the technology to make trains and rails. It is several times faster than a carriage, and its load capacity is far beyond As an animal-drawn vehicle, trains only need to lay rails, and can transport a large amount of goods and people at low transportation costs, efficient speed and safety. It is definitely a powerful tool to promote the progress of the times."

The Daimyo is not ignorant, but the speed of information dissemination is not fast enough, and the country of Snow is relatively autistic, so he does not pay attention to this aspect: "Oh, there is such a good thing."

"Of course, and the current daimyo of Snow Country has a very good relationship with our Leaf Village. As long as we are sincere, friendly cooperation with Snow Country can definitely be achieved."

The daimyo touched the flesh folds on his face and thought for a while, then nodded: "You continue."

Dongxing took a glass of wine from his seat to moisten his throat: "In addition to infrastructure, the new city should also have policies that can attract businessmen to drive economic construction. I call it investment attraction."

Shikaku also became interested: "Oh, how to attract investment?"

Dongxing said this sentence for the third time: "That's a good question. Businessmen can't afford to start early without profit. Since we want to attract investment, we will use preferential policies to attract businessmen to join the new city in exchange for long-term benefits. This It’s about attracting investment.”

"You mean, let us give profits to businessmen." The daimyo frowned, feeling that Kujo Tohoshi's thinking was a little too naive. Businessmen are greedy. If you attract businessmen by lowering taxes or providing resources cheaply, it will only make people lose money. The merchants became more and more greedy. In the end, the merchants were full and their own people suffered losses.

Dongxing raised his index finger and shook it: "Of course we can't adjust taxes at will or sell raw materials at low prices. We can use a new preferential policy. If a businessman settles in a new city, the land rent for the first year can be free. , after one year, the normal rent will be calculated. If you want to buy real estate, you can get a 30% discount. These policies can reduce the business risks of businessmen and attract businessmen. Of course, only land in urban fringe areas and suburbs will be sold, and limited The quota is first come, first served, and there will be no credit or debt. As for the price of the land, I have to worry about the Daimyo to consider how much to sell."

"That's a good idea. Now you should tell me what you mean by the earning power of ninjas that you mentioned before." Daimyo agreed with the series of suggestions Dongxing made today and was more interested in what he heard before. .

Dongxing looked at the two father and son of the Nara family. They happened to be here today. They can be used as an example: "Many ninjas have never thought about this problem, but the production capacity and product quality of ninjas must be higher than ordinary people." There are many, such as the Nara family.”

"Okay." Shikaku held the wine glass in front of his face and looked at Dongxing with sharp eyes. Shikamaru's expression was also a little solemn.

But Dongxing didn't take it seriously. What he said today will not involve any confidentiality, it is all public matter: "The Nara family is the largest supplier of medicinal materials in Konoha Village, especially the deer antlers produced are very important and high-quality medicinal materials. The best of velvet antler. In addition to velvet antler, he is also an absolute expert in the cultivation of other medicinal materials. I am not wrong."

Shikaku put down his wine glass and nodded to the daimyo: "Indeed, our Nara family is good at cultivating medicinal materials."

"That's why the Nara family is not only the master of medicinal material cultivation, but also an excellent pharmacist. If the Nara family expands a new medicinal material cultivation center in a new city, the high-quality medicinal materials cultivated can not only be used as raw materials, but also the Nara family themselves The ability to produce high-quality medicines." Dongxing took the Nara family as an example. This suggestion was given to the Nara family for free: "After the new city is established, the Nara family can continue to cultivate the top medicinal materials by family members and continue to supply Konoha. The village needs it, and then hires others to take care of common medicinal materials. With the Nara family's technology, even ordinary medicinal materials will be of relatively high quality. And we can also start to develop some excellent medicines for treating minor problems such as colds and diarrhea. I believe With the pharmaceutical capabilities of the Nara family, they will definitely take the lead in medical drugs.”

"Wonderful, it can provide more jobs for ordinary people, and it can also give full play to the advantages of ninjas. Kujo Tosei, you are worthy of it." The daimyo smiled while stroking his hands.

Shikaku frowned and carefully considered Dongxing's proposal...

It seems that this is really feasible. There are still many people in the Nara family who are not suitable to be used as ninjas on the battlefield. They are responsible for logistics work. Let these members develop those ninjas that are basically useless, but ordinary people But the medicine is very needed, this is also a good way.

Dongxing observed that Shikaku was deep in thought. Sure enough, the opportunity to obtain more benefits was in front of him, not to mention that there was no need to go to the battlefield and no need to risk his life. No ninja family would refuse.

The so-called letting the daimyo make money from ninjas, the real step should be to let ninjas make money from civilians, and then give the Fire Nation a chance to make money from ninjas.
