Konoha's Mortal Wisdom

The patriarch of the Zetsuna family. . . This title clearly shows that the name of the Kingdom of Human Summer is here for Yoruichi, and there is no need for ninjas and non-ninjas~ So, this long journey is entirely due to the problems of the people under his command, Yoichi He smiled slightly at the person in charge of the Maritime Trade Department who had brought him here, and saw that his mind was ups and downs.

Hey, the boss looked at me and smiled at me. Am I going to get a promotion, a salary increase and win Bai Fumei? Hehehe~

No, you will probably die of exhaustion and overwork soon.

"Your Excellency the Daimyo, uh~" In any case, if it was according to etiquette, and as the patriarch of the Zetsuna family was invited, I should be on an equal footing with the Daimyo and know his name. It's not that Ye Yiyi is pretending, but that he can't let the whole family lose face outside.

The discerning Daimyo of Xia Zhiguo understood Ye Yi's concerns from his hesitation and hurriedly said: "I'm extremely sorry. Because of the urgent domestic affairs, I forgot to pass on my name. It's really rude. Please forgive me." , my name is Xia Cheng Huanye."

"Mama Tamaki, you're too polite. Can you describe what happened specifically?"

Through the narration of the great names of Xia Zhiguo, Yoruichi understood why it was necessary to ask outsiders like himself to help with things like counterinsurgency. It is said that this daimyo is as he appears, a ruler who pays attention to etiquette, is diligent and loves the people. And there is really a reason for Xia Kingdom's rebellion.

According to normal geographical knowledge, island countries like the Kingdom of Xia are generally located near the sea because the land is salinized and unsuitable for farming, so they make a living by fishing. The land in the interior has not been overly polluted, and people rely on farming to make a living. This is what is called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and relying on the water to eat the water.

But the geographical environment of this country completely goes against common sense. On the way there, Yoruichi felt very strange as to why the land in the coastal areas was being reclaimed and planted on a large scale, and became more and more deserted the closer to the inland.

The geographical structure of this country is very peculiar, somewhat similar to the so-called soaring sea currents. The reason is that this land is actually built on an active submarine volcano. The center of the entire country is the crater, which erupts not lava all year round, but ocean currents.

This forms a unique landform, where the ocean current is slowly filtered from the center outwards, gradually turning into drinkable fresh water. This is called a flood plain.

It would have been a very lucky thing to be guarding a volcano and not being threatened by lava at all. Moreover, this large natural fountain prevents the entire country from worrying about drought, which is considered very good in this messy ninja world.

The trap lies in this landscape, which has created a huge gap between rich and poor. People in the inland are far away from the sea, and because this natural environment is not suitable for farming, how do you think they can live? Food and water resources are much worse than those along the coast. .

In turn, the coastal areas that originally protected the great treasure house of the sea have become the places with the richest survival resources because of this landform. In addition, the coastal areas have grasped the channels for trade with the outside world, which can be said to control the lifeblood of the entire country.

In this situation, people living in the center of the continent are in dire straits, and have become completely exploited by those in power along the coast. In particular, the four wealthy families on the coast have taken advantage of this geographical advantage to control more than 9% of the entire country's resources. Now they are almost emptied out of this circle.

As a daimyo of a country, the basic living resources in his hands are not as many as the people under his command. It can even be said that it all depends on their faces. And these wealthy families are also very smart. Even if they resist the daimyo unjustly, the daimyo cannot arbitrarily deprive them of their territory and property.

In recent years, they have become more and more rampant and exploited more and more fiercely, so the civilians in the inland areas could not bear it and had no choice but to launch rebellions. From the daimyo's point of view, these so-called rioters are the ones who have the real potential to become his strength. He can't eradicate them all~ If he really wants to do this, he will really only be able to be a puppet daimyo in the future.

. . . To be honest, Yoruichi's head hurt a little. . . The people from the Maritime Trade Department really found a "good" task for me.

"Sir Tamaki, do you plan to come violently or peacefully?"

"Lord Yoruichi, please clarify."

"The rough way is for me to help you kill all the four powerful families you mentioned, and then you send troops to occupy their territory. In this way, all the resources are not yours to decide, but according to your temper... Hey, they will be sent sooner or later. People will become new wealthy people.”

"It won't happen, it won't happen. They didn't violate the law. They are all citizens of the Kingdom of Xia. How can you treat them like this?"

This ring is also famous, it means that a gentleman can bully a gentleman in the area. Judging from his attitude in speaking and doing things, he is too arrogant~ To be honest, you can still sit in this position. Ye Yi feels lucky for him. .

"Master Patriarch, we have tried transporting goods and trading with the daimyo's caravans, but the large-scale ones have to pass through the ports of the four major families, and the taxes they charge are more than double our pricing. If Small-scale transactions cannot meet the huge needs of the people in the center of Xia Kingdom. This is not because our Ministry of Maritime Trade thinks that Xia Kingdom is a place very suitable for commercial development, so we have to find you."

Is it because the Ministry of Maritime Trade has developed too fast that the five major countries in the Ninja World can no longer accommodate your appetite, so they want to develop new markets? I thank you for finding me such a difficult job, which reflects my That extraordinary talent, I thank you and your whole family.

Yoruichi closed her eyes and began to think. To be honest, if violence is not required for this problem, we can only start with the natural environment of the entire country.

After all, it is the political system of the ninja world or the private ownership of the aristocracy. It is impossible for the country's resources to be uniformly distributed by the entire country's leadership like socialism. If someone occupies such a good territory, it is really a monopoly, and you have nothing to say legally. In particular, this daimyo still accepts death, otherwise it would be better if he is dissatisfied and eradicated. In the final analysis, politics is not about strength.

If you want to legally let people give up these interests, then you can only transfer the interests through other means. The theory of capital does not mean that if it has a profit of 50%, it will take risks; if it has a profit of 100%, it will dare to trample all human laws; if it has a profit of 300%, it will dare to commit any crime and even risk hanging. How much money do you make? Do you think they will be so kind and give you the wealth they get?

"I have an idea. If it is to be legal, we can only fight monopoly with monopoly."

. . .

Thinking of the method he had come up with, Ye Yi felt that after returning home, he must find something to do for his colleagues in the Maritime Trade Department, and don't try to harm me, the family boss, all day long. Recalling Tamiya Daimyo's magical eyes, Yoruichi felt a little prettier in addition to being a little drifting~

Standing on the map of his sphere of influence provided by the Daimyo Tamaki, Yoruichi stood on the dividing line between the four powerful families and the area under the actual leadership of the Daimyo. He took a deep breath, hoping that he would not be drained by the wait~

The members of the Tamiya Daimyo faction and the head of the Maritime Trade Department were standing not far behind Yoruichi, looking at Yoichi's back without blinking. To be honest, when Yoruichi proposed that idea, not only Tamiya Daimyo thought Yoruichi was crazy, but even Yuzaburo, the man in charge of the Maritime Trade Department, thought his boss was crazy.

Yoruichi's method is simple. The other party monopolizes external resources, most food crops, and even some fresh water resources. At the end of the day, people at this time have no problem whether they have fun or not, and whether they are inconvenient. As long as they can have enough to eat and drink, they can survive.

The landforms of the Kingdom of Xia allow people in coastal areas to basically master the two necessities of life, food and drinking water, which are their most important weapons. Otherwise, in terms of number of people and territory, what the four powerful families control is just that compared to the daimyo.

Success is also a landform, and failure is also a landform. Yoruichi's idea is very simple. After all, the water source in the coastal areas flows from the large fountain in the junior high school. He just needs to build a dam in the middle to intercept the water. You will lose your source of fresh water. Without fresh water, you will not be able to harvest crops. If you have the ability, you can use sea water for irrigation~

But the problem is that now that the civilians in the country have been exploited and are about to revolt, there is no spare time to slowly build dams to block the flow of water. By the time your dam is built, the daimyo may have been overthrown by the mob.

As the saying goes, technology is the primary productive force. Of course, in the ninja world, it is too late to develop science and technology, but aren't there still ninjutsu? Yoruichi promised Tamiya Daimyo to build a siege on the land of the Summer Kingdom on his own to block the water source in the country. After using water resources to negotiate with the four major wealthy families, the problem must have solved itself.

That's the problem. . . Can Yoruichi do it?

The Kingdom of Summer is not that big to be honest. Moreover, the Kingdom of Xia is still an overseas island country, and its land area is only so small when viewed from the map.

But when I was little, it was also a country, not a country like this or a country like that. It was better to say it was a small town than a country. It has to be done no matter what. . . It's a county-level city. It's about 150 square kilometers, which is a circle with an approximate radius of 7k. Excluding the part controlled by the four wealthy families, we still have to build a wall with a radius of 5~6k.

You can't just let people in coastal areas drink the northwest wind just to save your own power, so this dam must be built not far from the power boundary line to ensure the exchange of supplies and subsequent drinking water irrigation issues.

30 kilometers of ditches. . . I'm drunk just thinking about it.

Powerful natural energy continued to surge toward Ye Yi. Ye Yi turned green again.

The Dragon Vein Mode was turned on, and he continued to accumulate energy for nearly 3 minutes. He first put his hands together, converted all the energy in his body into Earth Release Immortal Technique Chakra, and then slapped the ground with all his strength.

Suddenly, the entire Xia Kingdom could feel a strong vibration. This vibration stimulated the submarine volcano, and even more massive torrents were ejected.

An earthen wall surrounding Xia Zhiguo's palace rose from the ground, but the ground around it sank deeply. The wall divides the middle and coastal areas into two places. The water also flowed into the ditch under the wall to form a moat and could not continue to flow downstream.

This shocking feat made both the two people watching on the sidelines, the daimyo overlooking the capital of the Kingdom of Xia, or the four major wealthy families and the citizens of the Kingdom of Xia, couldn't help but murmur in a low voice, "This is... God?"

And the god they talked about immediately knelt down as soon as he entered the soul. He really knelt down on the ground, his whole body was limp and unable to raise any strength. There is only one thought in my mind, Nima Nagato, you are so long.
