Naruto Millennium Building Blocks

What the Daimyo didn't know was that although the Fuuma clan still had a great reputation in the ninja world, it was already a thing of the past.

Therefore, the joining of the Fuma Clan can only bring some prestige to You Ninja Village, but it will not be of great help in improving the strength of You Ninja Village.

But this still does not prevent Yujuro from using this excuse to apply for more budget from the daimyo!

It is understood that the annual tax revenue of Sichuan Country is about 1000 billion taels.Although this number seems large, considering that the bounty for a slightly more powerful ninja is tens of millions, this amount of money can only be regarded as a medium level among various countries.

In previous years, the country's military expenditure accounted for about 20.00% of the total tax revenue.In other words, the Kingdom of Sichuan spends 200 billion taels every year to maintain those large-scale armies composed of ordinary people who do not contribute much combat power in actual combat.

Although this military expenditure accounts for a somewhat large proportion of tax revenue, in this war-prone ninja world, basically all countries are either engaged in war or preparing for war, so it is normal for this military expenditure to be relatively large.

Especially for a small country like Kawakuni, in order to survive in the cracks between big powers, it is even more necessary to invest limited resources in the expansion of national defense forces.Unless it is a country that gives up on itself like the Country of Waves, no one will be willing to let their country become the puppet of a big country!

Among them, the Country of Rain is the extreme one among these small countries. It basically relied on spending more than half of the tax revenue on military expenditures, so that the Rain Ninja Village had a total of [-] ninja troops during the Second Ninja War.However, the Kingdom of Rain also suffered financial collapse due to such a militaristic policy, which made it difficult for Rain Ninja Village to return to its former days of strong military strength.We can only rely on the reputation of Hanzo the Sanshoyu to stay in seclusion!

Therefore, when it comes to military expenditures, it is better to act within our capabilities!

However, the annual military expenditure of 200 billion taels from the Kingdom of Sichuan is enough to allow Yunin Village to achieve considerable development without affecting the financial system!

Even if Yujuro expects that half of the military expenditure will still be spent on the expenses of ordinary soldiers and samurai, the maximum budget that can be allocated to Yunin Village will be around 100 billion taels.

Therefore, Yujuro is very enthusiastic about joining the Fuuma clan, and is dissatisfied with Minazuki Yuichi's xenophobic ideas.

With the current scale of Yunin Village, the maximum budget it can receive each year is probably only a few hundred million taels, which is a far cry from the estimated budget of tens of billions of taels.Therefore, what Minazuki Yuichi did was definitely picking up the sesame seeds and throwing away the watermelons. He was definitely doing the interests of the family regardless of the interests of the village!

To be honest, Yujuro is already complaining about why he didn't see that Minazuki Yuichi was a cunning guy when he rescued the Minazuki clan.

But even if I saw it at the time, I couldn't do anything. I couldn't kill this old guy directly...

Anyway, Yujuro has already applied for hundreds of millions of taels of funds from the daimyo through the Fuma clan.Then, there is no need to worry about the money for building a station and purchasing equipment for the Wind Demon Clan.

And Fuma Kojiro no longer has to worry about the problem of lack of money, and he no longer dares to open up his hands and feet to develop new ninja tools!

It's just that the money is not so easy to get...

"Leader Muto, congratulations on adding another major force to your Ninja Village. However, I have a task that I hope your Ninja Village can handle. I hope you won't delay it!" After the daimyo finished bleeding, he began to make conditions. .

"The daimyo-sama doesn't want us to go to the front line to deal with the Suna ninja, right? If it's this mission, we still can't do anything with the current combat power of the Yunin Village, so you still hope that I can refuse!"

Because during this period of time, people in Konoha have been sending people to persuade Yujuro, hoping that Yunin Village can serve as an ally and send troops to help.But they were all declined by Yujuro on the grounds that the newly established Yunin Village was really incapable of participating in a large-scale war.

So Yujuro suspected that Konoha had done the daimyo's work, hoping to put pressure on Yunin Village through the daimyo of Kawanoguni!

"Muto-sama, don't refuse so quickly! Although Konoha did send people to find me, I declined. The mission I entrusted to you is actually to go to the northern border of our country to suppress bandits!" Daimyo! Said with a smile.

"Suppress bandits?" After hearing this word, Yujuro and others were a little surprised!

Doesn’t the Kingdom of Sichuan still have so many troops? Could it be that they can’t even solve some bandit troubles?

Facing the doubts of Yujuro and others, the daimyo quickly gave the answer: "Leader Muto, Mr. Mahat, and the leader of the Fuma clan, the thing is like this..."

It turns out that there was a rebellion by the Northern General before. Although the Northern General was beheaded and the rain ninjas withdrew their troops, the main cities in the northern border of the Kingdom of Sichuan had been recovered by the government troops of the Kingdom of Sichuan.

But although the cities were recovered, the vast countryside was still in the hands of the rebels who were stubbornly resisting.There are even many rebels hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, fighting guerrilla warfare with the government troops!

As a result, the government troops with insufficient strength can only stick to the city.

As for why the government army was short of troops, it was because the daimyo saw that the ordinary army was really unable to compete with the ninja army, and the wandering ninja village had been established.So the daimyo immediately began large-scale disarmament at this time!

Moreover, the fundamental reason why the northern general launched the rebellion this time was that the daimyo's disarmament behavior harmed his interests.Otherwise, why would this northern general, who only loves pleasure, take such desperate risks?

However, with these two rebellions and the losses of government troops in counter-insurgency, the daimyo has completed its purpose of reducing the number of troops without any need for disarmament.

But in this way, the number of Kawakuni government troops will be enough to defend the city, and there will be no spare power to eliminate banditry.

This turned the remaining rebels in the north directly into bandits who robbed homes and houses, posing a serious threat to the lives and property safety of the people in the northern border of the Kingdom of Sichuan!

And it doesn't stop there. Many laid-off soldiers in other parts of the Kingdom of Sichuan have also become bandits, seriously affecting the security of various places in the Kingdom of Sichuan.

But in general, banditry is the most serious in the north!

And the daimyo was troubled by these problems that he obviously had the ability to handle, but just couldn't handle them well, and he couldn't sleep well for many days.

Therefore, even if Yujuro didn't come to the daimyo because of the Fuma clan, the helpless daimyo would sooner or later invite Yujuro.

As it happened, Yujuro, who had just received a large amount of financial aid from the daimyo, had to take on this not very difficult, but very cumbersome task entrustment.

"Lord Daimyo, let us, Yunin Village, handle such a small matter!" Yujuro, who was short on manpower, could only reply like this...
