Konoha is also very enthusiastic today

After the daily news report, Cheng was quietly discussing with Ichiro on the way back.

"Have you read the announcement posted by Miss Yishui?"

"I saw it..." Ichiro looked confused, "But that has nothing to do with me, does it?"

Like most people, he likes Miss Yishui and usually listens to her words, but for things like changes in government orders... such as this encouragement to start businesses, they will only understand it subconsciously, and few will actually start to do it. Very few.

To put it bluntly, everyone is used to the current life, and most of them have entered middle age. They don’t have the desperate drive to leave their current comfort zone.

Even those who give up farming and work in factories are rare, and even those who do are basically female workers in textile factories.

They feel that farming is a lifelong responsibility. Without farming, there will be no food and no way to support the family. Therefore, women can work in textile factories to supplement the family income, but men cannot.

Last time a family member's son wanted to go to a factory, his father almost had his leg broken.

When Ah Cheng heard this, he hated iron and said, "Why doesn't it matter! Don't you want it? A factory of your own. You also heard from Miss Yishui that most of the oil presses are in the factory! That's oil! "

Ichiro looked embarrassed: "But...those are things only wealthy people can afford, right? Although it is profitable, the initial investment was enough to bankrupt both of us..."

Ah Cheng snapped his fingers: "That's why we want to get a loan!"

Ichiro: "..."

He turned around without looking back: "I'm leaving."

"Hey, hey, don't go! Listen to me!" Acheng hurriedly grabbed him.

"There's nothing to say. It's impossible for me to get a loan from above. Haven't you heard about what happened to the Tanaka family before? I borrowed two bags of rice from the noble man above, and ended up losing my cattle and land. I had to pay for it. It’s not because someone has changed, but now I still can’t afford to eat…”

Ah Cheng caught the crux of his words: "So, now there is a new person at the top. Everyone has seen it this year. Now the master above is a good official who truly loves and protects the people. What do you think such a person will do?" Did something like that happen?"

"But..." Ichiro was still hesitant.

"Ichiro, you have to think clearly." Cheng sighed and spoke more earnestly, "Think about it, now that the decree has just been promulgated, there must be many people who are as worried as you. At this time, we will rush forward first. The convenience you get will only be more. Otherwise, if you observe and observe, and wait until everyone comes to mess with you before you take action, you will no longer get a share."

"I invited you because we have a good relationship. If you don't want to, I won't force you. Anyway, you know that I have many relatives and friends, and there will always be one or two who are willing."

"It's just that if you miss this village, you won't have this store."

"...I understand." Ichiro said hesitantly, "Then I will discuss it with my wife when I go back. My wife is a supervisor in a textile factory, so she should know a lot about this."

Ah Cheng smiled happily: "Okay! Then I'll wait for your good news!"

……

The same scene happened everywhere in the territory.

There are some who do not intend to participate, but there are also those who have identified the business opportunities and started to form groups to invest together.

Most of these people had some savings, so they gathered a dozen or so people together to share the debt, negotiate a contract, and then set out to start the business.

It's just that among these people, even the boldest and richest ones choose small industries, and two-thirds of them come for oil.

Those big players that Konoha values ​​​​have huge initial investment costs, and no one dares to touch them.

"...Well, that's to be expected."

Rather, it was beyond her expectation that so many people were willing to respond.

"What are you going to do next?"

Her secretary cast his gaze over and said, "Do you want to handle the remaining projects yourself?"

"Of course not." Konoha poured a cup of tea slowly, "The potential of civilians should be almost fully realized. Each class has its own limits. I plan to leave the rest to the businessmen."

"……merchant?"

"I know that in the minds of you people, merchants generally have a low status and are a humble group of people, but one thing you have overlooked is how significant the bridge that merchants build as a bridge for the circulation of goods is."

Konoha then said, "I remember that I have a caravan under my command, right?"

"Correct."

Konoha's caravans, based on the caravans of the two nobles, have been continuously expanded to accommodate traveling merchants, reorganized and unified, and are now quite large in scale.

There are many traveling merchants willing to join, and Konoha guesses that 90.00% of this group of people came because of the name of "Konoha Hidden Village".After all, in this era when the poor and unruly people are everywhere outside the city, the safety of traveling merchants is a top priority. Wealthy caravans usually choose to hire ninja escorts, but traveling merchants like them can only rely on luck. Sometimes many people lose their lives because of robbers.

Therefore, the caravan under the name of Konoha has attracted many independent merchants to join. Konoha has indeed fulfilled its promise. Every time the caravan travels, four ninjas will be sent to escort them all the way, and the hiring fee will be cut in half. This will make traveling businessmen flock to you.

The cotton products that Konoha has hoarded are just waiting for them to go out and exchange them for money.

However, when there is nothing else to do, merchants will go out in twos and threes to do business and sell. As time goes by, they will become more knowledgeable. These merchants' vision will not be too low, and they should have friends all over the world.

This is another potentially exploitable resource.

"A letter to the main person in charge of the current caravan." This is Konoha. "Just write down the details of the industry investment promotion. Those businessmen will understand what I mean."

"Okay." Yan Sheng nodded and turned back to get the pen and ink.

"...But speaking of it." Konoha touched her chin. There were too many things in her mind, and she was a little confused for a moment. "Who is the main person in charge of the caravan now?"

Yan Sheng opened the information and took a look: "..."

He said expressionlessly: "Uchiha Izuna."

"...It's actually Uncle Senna?!" Konoha was shocked, her eyes widened, and she was shocked by this result.

Hey, it turns out that Uncle Quan Nai also turned on the business attribute?Managing a large caravan is not an easy task... It is one thing to ensure that they abide by the contract, but it is another thing to convince the public.

But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem surprising.

During the Warring States Period, the leader of the Uchiha clan was Madara's father, but the main responsibility of Madara's father was to lead the ninja clan to victory in the war. The clan affairs handled by the clan leader were all general decisions, and those trivial matters of management were generally speaking. They will all be handed over to the second-in-command in the clan...that is, Uncle Quan Nai.

This forces the second-in-command of each family to be knowledgeable and proficient in everything, such as Uncle Tobirama of the Senju family.

Even now that they have formed an alliance to build a village, the two of them are like bricks, moving wherever needed. If manpower is scarce, it is not surprising that Uncle Quan Nai will take over the caravan.

...It’s a member of my own family, so that’s even easier.

"Then you don't need to write a letter. I'll fly back directly to Thunder God." When meeting your own family, don't worry about the false courtesy.

Without further ado, Konoha handed over the rest of the work to the secretary and teleported back to his home.

This time she targeted the Flying Thunder God Technique printed in the Hokage Tower.

Even if Uncle Quan Nai is not on duty today, someone must know where he is.

Well, it's not what Konoha expected.

After opening the door, she saw the figure of Uchiha Madara.

After Konoha took Senju Hashirama to the Land of Thunder for a long-term business trip, the number of people taking turns in the Hokage Tower became four people, so today is Madara's father's turn?

At this time, the sky outside was getting dark, and the lights inside the Hokage Tower were already brightly lit.With the blessing of hydropower and thermal power generation, Konoha Village can basically guarantee daily power supply needs. Every household has become accustomed to electric lights. Correspondingly, people's activity time has been extended, and nightlife has begun to enrich.

So, electricity can really change a lot of things, and everyone knows the importance of electricity. Now the dam over the Valley of the End has been classified as a first-class public property protection zone. Anyone who dares to deliberately damage it will have to go to jail. The kind that has to be slapped by Susan.

"Konoha?" Madara's warm voice sounded in his ears, "It's rare to see you back. Is there something wrong?"

"Father." Konoha lay on the desk and looked directly at Uchiha Madara, "Uncle Izuna took over our caravan, right? Do you know where he is now?"

"Izuna?" Uchiha Madara thought for a while and looked at the sky outside the window, "At this time, he should be in the clan..."

"It's going to be sunset soon. Konoha, are you in a hurry? If you have anything to do, we can talk about it tomorrow. I'll ask Izuna to come find you."

Konoha shook his head and said: "No need. It's just a little thing, and it will be over after I explain it. The sooner you prepare, the better."

Uchiha Madara nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Then he really stopped asking and picked up the official business on the table and started reading.

This reaction made Konoha's heart itch, and she stopped immediately as she was about to leave.

...Although her family trusts her and she is very touched, is it really okay to be so relieved and not ask questions about anything?

You must know that what Konoha likes most is to expand her ideas in communicating with others, check for omissions and fill in the gaps. In the past, her family did not trust her and would always ask her about the follow-up when she made a decision. Konoha can also gain from thinking. A lot.

Since when did they stop asking her questions and leave everything to her?

Without the conversation with them, Konoha herself felt that something was wrong. She was still decisive when making decisions, but she always had to look over them three times afterwards to confirm that she had not made any mistakes.

If her family were still the same, she would be able to use their perspectives to revise her decisions.

Thinking of this, Konoha couldn't help but ask: "Madara's father, do you really have no doubts?"

"Huh?" Uchiha Madara looked up from the document, "What do you mean?"

"It's just...don't father want to know why I want to attract investment this time and what I will do next?"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that we can just look at the results when they come out later." Madara Uchiha looked a little confused, "There is no need to ask you extraneous questions, as this will also interfere with your thinking."

Konoha: "..."

Konoha: "But you don't even ask, what if I make a mistake?"

"You won't." Uchiha Madara said without thinking.

After Konoha showed a ghost look, he paused for a moment, and then explained: "Over the years, you have thought further than us, and the decisions you have made have all led to the right direction. You can see A place farther away than all of us... The interference of others is just a burden to you, there is no need to listen to what others say, just make your own decision."

Uchiha Madara said matter-of-factly: "You are Konoha, of course you can't make mistakes."

If you're wrong, it's someone else's problem.

Konoha said with a dull expression: "..."

Well, she finally figured out where the creepy feeling that had been following her the past few days came from! !
