Naruto Six Paths Iruka

Chapter 217 29. Intelligence
Iruka was wearing a uniform, standing at the end of the twelve soldiers, closest to the officials, and made a mighty look.

Yes, he is in court.

He has a straight face, but his eyes are squinting left and right.It was very interesting to see Lord Bofeng on the throne reviewing the final comments on the memorial submitted by his courtiers, and then to see several courtiers discussing and arguing with each other below.

"My lord, the tax revenue in the south can no longer be increased!" This is what a local official said.

"The tax revenue in the rest of the regions is increasing, so why isn't your southern region increasing?" The central tax minister refuted him.

"Yes, yes, do you know what kind of pressure our northern border is facing? Without sufficient military pay, how to prevent the attacks of those countries?" This is the minister in charge of military affairs chiming in.

"You two guys always feel that the northern countries want to invade us. But after so many years, has anyone looked at us seriously?" The speaker seemed to be the Minister of Agriculture.

"Yeah, fighting and killing all day long. Domestic agriculture is not good, and business is not good. You are wasting money on raising those warriors who only eat and don't work!" The Minister of Commerce seems to have a strong opinion of the military. big.

Iruka tried hard to hold back his smile, waiting for Namikaze Lord's reaction.

Lord Bofeng waved at them: "Okay, okay, stop arguing. A few months ago, I sent a survey team to the northern border. Do you remember? Since you mentioned the northern border, then Let them report. Transfer to Qinglong, and call the investigation team over!"

"Yes!" Turning to bed Qinglong walked down from the king's side, and after a while, brought a group of people.They saluted the lord, and then began to report: "According to our information, the outpost on the border of the Kingdom of Cauldron was attacked by unidentified armed men a few months ago, and at least half of the warriors were lost. The other half of the warriors, Some of them appeared near Beijing City, but they were suspected of joining a group of water bandits and died in the bandit suppression operation in Beijing City. The whereabouts of the remaining few warriors are unknown, but it is worth mentioning that the Kingdom of Cauldron did not send any A new batch of people will come to take over the outpost, which is currently vacant.”

"That is to say, no one is stationed at the border of the Cauldron Kingdom?" Lord Bofeng asked, "Why is this happening?"

Investigation team: "According to our speculation, the country of tripod has lacked the management of outposts all year round. Therefore, it is very likely that we don't know about it yet."

"Okay, you guys go back." Lord Bofeng motioned for them to leave, and then looked at the Minister of Taxation and Minister of Military Affairs.

Iruka also looked at the two of them with a playful smile.

The Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of Commerce took the opportunity to attack: "Look, people don't care about us at all. What's the use of you still taking the border so seriously? It's just a waste of money."

The Minister of Military Affairs was anxious: "However, according to the feedback from the dispatched intelligence personnel, the Kingdom of the Tripod and the Kingdom of the Motherland are currently mobilizing troops across the country!"

Minister of Agriculture: "The deployment of troops is not necessarily aimed at you!"

Minister of Commerce: "That's right, what if the country of tripod and the country of the motherland fight against each other?"

"You guys know nothing about military!" The military minister roared, "The military strength of the Ding Kingdom ranks first in all countries, who dares to attack him? Besides, there are still hostages in the Ding Kingdom, and this hostage is The son of the lord of the ancestral country, does he dare to start a war rashly?"

The Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of Commerce were also speechless, and they looked at the king.

The leader of the country, Bofeng Kesong, pondered for a while, and finally slammed the table: "Let's gamble!"

Everyone is quiet, what is the king betting on?
"Let's bet that the country of the tripod and the country of the ancestors will not come to fight us!" The king said in a word, "Anyway, even if we fight, we can't beat any of them, let alone they come together. We don't want For this kind of thing, do useless struggle and invest money in this kind of thing that has no fundamental change."

The faces of the Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of Commerce gradually brightened, showing confident smiles.

The lord continued: "I know, your agriculture and business have been aggrieved in recent years. You want to do a lot of things, but you suffer from no support. This way! This tax."

The tax minister looked at the king.

"Taxation, you should go back and think about it. If you come up with a lower price, you must take into account the affordability of the people everywhere, and you must ensure that the people have surplus money in their hands to promote business." The king said, "And, It is also necessary to fully take into account the actual situation in each region, and determine the extent of the charge based on economic development."

The local official in the south also nodded in satisfaction.

"This will be done like this." The king waved his hand, and the secretary next to him handed over the document that had just been written. Bofeng Kesong engraved his name on it, sealed it with a seal, and knocked hard.

Iruka didn't care much about other matters in court that day.After retiring from the court, he didn't even eat, and ran to the emperor's side.

"Important information!" Iruka rushed through the door.

Buwei: "Oh? What a coincidence? We also got good information."

Iruka: "Then you say it first?"

Buwei said proudly: "According to the news we have inquired in the market, many merchants will go directly across the border of the tripod country to buy goods from the north. Do you know what this means? It means that no one is stationed at the border of the tripod country .”

Yan Dan added: "As I said earlier, people like my father don't care about such a poor place at all."

"I also know about this," Iruka lowered his voice, "It's the conclusion of the barbarian country's military department. However, I have a more important piece of news."

Three people: "What?"

Iluka held back, and finally said slowly: "The country of the tripod and the country of the motherland have begun to deploy troops on a large scale."

"Deploy troops?" The three were stunned.

"Yes, dispatching troops." Iruka said with a smile, "they dispatched troops, it is impossible for them to join forces to invade the country of barbarians? So, what we expected at the beginning has come true. The country of tripod finally began to doubt the ancestors. The country of the motherland, the country of the motherland is also aware of being suspected, and is preparing countermeasures."

As the son of the lord of the ancestral country, the emperor finally panicked: "The ancestral country can't beat the tripod country at all!"

Buwei: "Are you worried about him? Why didn't your father worry about you when he threw you as a hostage in the Cauldron Kingdom?"

"Whether you can fight it or not, this war is inevitable." Iruka shook his head, "If you don't break it, you can't stand it. As long as you don't kill it, you will still get a country of your motherland in the end."

"Yes, we will definitely assist you. When the turmoil is over, we will go back to seize power!" Yan Dan also expressed his determination.

The emperor looked at the three of them, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes: "Thank you, thank you, I will definitely not let you down in the end, and I will give you endless glory and wealth."

Facing the three of them, he bowed deeply.
