Naruto: Starting with Dual Kamui

After the announcement was issued, 500 chunin quickly volunteered to sign up to participate in the agricultural pilot project in Anyin Village.

Lin Yu selected 200 chunin who did not have the talent to become jounin and formed an agricultural team.

There were three hundred people left. Lin Yu told them not to be discouraged, try again, and work hard to become jounin. If it didn't work, he would arrange other positions for them.

Now that a team has been established, someone must lead it.

Although the Takamikasa Nest can convert chakra into power, and cooperate with the production mechanism developed by Kasuke, it allows ninjas who know nothing about agriculture to complete their work with high yields.

But the person who leads the team must at least have relevant knowledge. There seems to be no suitable person in the hidden village.

At this time, Saori introduced her maid Nadeshiko Nongsan.

Nong Sang was born in a farming family in Nadeshiko Country. He had been exposed to it since childhood and had a wealth of agricultural knowledge. Lin Yu appointed him as the captain.

In the previous second expansion of Ninja Village, Lin Yu reserved 20 square kilometers of land as agricultural land.

Farming land is calculated by mu, 1 square kilometer is 1500 mu, and 20 square kilometers is 30000 mu.

The crops in Naruto World are mainly rice.

Because of different geology and climate, the number of rice harvests each year and the yield per mu are also different.

The rice in the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind is harvested once a year, with a yield of 200 kilograms per mu. In about three years, the cultivated land will lose its fertility and become barren. New land can only be reclaimed for planting.

For the Kingdom of Earth, which has vast territory, this is not a problem, but for the Kingdom of Wind, which has a vast Gobi desert and a harsh environment, it is very fatal.

If one person eats 1 kilogram of grain per day, one acre of land in the Kingdom of Wind is not even enough to feed one person.

The situation in the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Fire is slightly better. Rice is harvested twice a year and the yield per mu is 250 kilograms.

In the land of water, it can even be harvested three times a year, with a yield of about 300 kilograms per mu.

But no matter which country it is, its food output has little to do with the people.

Because the world of Naruto is in the feudal era, most of the land is concentrated in the hands of the powerful. The tenant farmers can only rent land from the powerful for planting. Not only do they have to pay high rents, but they also have to hand over enough food, and finally get it. The food supply is so meager that it is difficult to be self-sufficient, let alone sell food.

Only the rich and powerful can buy and sell food.

The Kingdom of Darkness is located between the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Fire. Under good weather conditions, it can barely produce two crops a year, and the yield per mu is generally around 200 kilograms.

If measured according to this standard, the 30000 acres of agricultural land in Anyin Village can produce 250 kilograms of rice per mu. Based on two crops a year, one mu of land can produce 500 kilograms of rice. 30000 acres of land is 1500 million kilograms.

1500 million kilograms of grain, 2 mouths to eat. Because ninjas consume a lot of chakra, the food they need is much higher than that of ordinary people. They consume an average of 2 kilograms of grain a day. Those 2 people eat 4 kilograms of grain a day. That’s 1460 million kilograms of grain per year.

With the loss of some intermediate links, we can achieve self-sufficiency.

After three days of training, the agricultural team of An Yin Village took up their duties. As long as the first batch of grain grown independently in the first half of the year is harvested, An Yin Village will be able to achieve self-sufficiency.

There may still be a long way to go before we can be completely self-sufficient in all aspects, but once the food problem is solved, everything will be fine.

The current surplus grain in the granary in Anyin Village is full and can last for three months. Lin Yu plans to purchase three months' worth of grain in the end, which will last for half a year until the first batch of grain comes out.

But at this juncture, something very terrible happened.

No matter where you go to buy food in the Kingdom of Darkness, as soon as the other party hears that they are from the Dark Hidden Village, they immediately refuse and are not willing to sell it even if you pay more money.

Lin Yu immediately asked people to investigate the cause, and soon found out that it originated from a previously issued decree by the name of the Kingdom of Darkness.

From now on, the Grain Merchants of the Kingdom of Darkness will restrict the supply of food to the Annyin Village, and will strictly control the food entering and leaving the Kingdom of Darkness from various countries to ensure that it does not flow into the Annyin Village.

As for why such a decree was issued, the daimyo explained as follows.

The harvest of the Kingdom of Darkness this year is less than half of previous years, and there is no extra food for you.

Some people may be curious. If you can’t buy food from the Kingdom of Darkness, then you can always buy food from other countries.

But the Kingdom of Darkness still has this policy that continues from ancient times to this day.

All citizens are not allowed to purchase food from other countries privately. Even if food needs to be imported due to insufficient food production, the purchase must be personally handled by the Daming Prefecture. Grain merchants from various places will then purchase grain from the Daming Prefecture, and the public will then purchase grain from the grain merchants.

When there are too many intermediate links, prices are bound to skyrocket. People often have to pay several times or even ten times more to buy food.

Therefore, when there was a famine in previous years, all the people who starved to death were ordinary people. Those grain merchants and powerful people were better off than in a good harvest.

"If we don't sell food to us, we can't buy it from outside. That means we have to wait and starve, right?" Lin Yu leaned on the table and asked Shazhi in front of him.

Shazhi said: "The daimyo said that we need to buy grain. It is not impossible. He needs to come forward to coordinate with the grain merchants. In addition, because the harvest this year is not good, if we want to get the grain first, I am afraid we will have to pay more than before."

Lin Yu said coldly: "Oh, so I still want money."

Shazhi clenched her pink fists: "One pound of grain is 1 taels."

Lin Yu smiled and said: "It is 100 times more than before. Haha, it's not bad."

"So, what to do"

"We need three months' supply, 365 million catties, 365 billion taels, how much balance do we have on our books?"

"Not long ago, another small batch of gold was liquidated. After excluding the 1000 billion taels just given to Daming Mansion, there is still about 400 billion left."

"Buy it. This is to prepare a coffin for the daimyo. Tell Kakuzu that when our first batch of food comes in half a year, I will kill the pig myself."

In this way, Anyin Village spent 365 billion taels to purchase three months of grain.

Late at night, Daming Mansion.

"Your Excellency Daimyo, my subordinates have checked and there are no more funds in the Anyin Village's accounts."

The daimyo pinched his mustache and said in confusion: "That Uchihaha, eight years ago, just for the matter of changing the country's name, he personally came to the door and used force to coerce me. Now that I am beating him like this, he doesn't care. It’s vague, why is this?”

Under the seat, the treacherous minister who flattered everyone said: "Haha, I'm afraid he has realized his identity. Apart from fighting and causing destruction, what else can a ninja do? If ninjas want to survive in peacetime, they don't have to rely on us."

The daimyo said: "If he really understands practical things like this, that would be fine."

Time passed and winter entered. Outside the dark village, two uninvited guests came.

"The blood pool clan's feud has been settled with Shadow."
