After planting trees in Naruto, I decided to go to Infinite Tsukuyomi
Chapter 54 Fujimoto Castle
The castle lord's palace contains the financial and judicial organs of Fujimoto Castle, as well as the lord's private residence. The focus of the Goto family moved to Sanjo Castle very early, and they were not that concerned about it. Today's Fujimoto Castle is still run by officials appointed by the Goto family.
Of course, there are also some new faces. After all, many people named Goto were dragged from here to the capital and lost their heads.
After walking around the city lord's palace, Sasuke couldn't help complaining about the administrative planning of the Fire Country. It was really confusing. Sanjo Castle is also called a castle, and Fujimoto Castle is also called a castle, but the difference between the two castles is as big as heaven and earth.
The Fire Country does not have obvious administrative divisions such as provinces, cities, counties or counties. In the Land of Fire, the administrative divisions can be roughly divided into the following categories: the castle owned by the daimyo and the village attached to the city; the castle owned by the public and nobles, and the village affiliated with the city; the village of the ninja - —Konoha.
The public family has nobles with official positions, but Sasuke does not have an official position, so it is not considered a public family now. As for the city lord? To be honest, it can only be regarded as a title, and only the official positions given by Sanjo Castle can be regarded as real official positions.
Despite this "feudal separatism", due to the existence of the Konohagakure Ninja Village, the Fire Country daimyo's rule over the entire territory is very strong. Many nobles who own large fiefdoms, like Goto, were invited to the capital by the daimyo. Be an official.
The nobles lived happily, but due to the different moral standards of the nobles, outstanding talents gathered in Sanjo Castle. Local officials did whatever they wanted, and the people in the fiefdom generally lived a miserable life.
Heavy taxes, corvee labor, natural and man-made disasters, etc., made many people unable to survive and chose to become bandits, harming other people. As a result, the domestic business of Konoha Ninja Village continued to flourish.
Think about it carefully, why are there so many escort missions in Konoha? Why can Konoha set the mission fee so expensive?
The Fire Nation undoubtedly has the best country in the world, but it also has a very bad feudal country.
Sasuke quickly flipped through the various official documents and account books handed over by the officials, complaining in his mind.
What's all this mess? Most of the accounts are fake.
Sasuke glanced at the old man sitting beside him with a low eyebrow. He sighed.
"Where's the real ledger?"
"Uchiha-sama, there is no such thing in Fujimoto Castle." The old man was very honest. Although the new castle lord in front of him was from the Ninja clan, he had heard that there was a famous figure in the world, and he didn't want to offend him.
"Let's not talk about the past things for the time being." A fire appeared at the tip of Sasuke's finger and burned these account books. Grandpa Dongxiang and the officials were stunned for a moment.
Be calm, calm, and don't care too much about these guys. If we really crack down on them, I'm afraid most of these guys will go to jail. This city still needs people to run it.
He is very busy and does not have time to carry out anti-corruption efforts here. He should continue to be a trustee.
"According to the "Meishō Ritsutetsu", the tax on civilians and merchants is one-tenth. From now on, it will be based on this, and absolutely no more." Sasuke took out a book of Ritsutetsu and threw it heavily on the table.
There was a "bang" from the table, which made some officials tremble.
“Of course, except for casinos and brothels, they are still taxed as they are today.
"The money for the staff is paid by the person who hired the staff, and the finance does not allocate this money. The wages of the servants cannot be in arrears, and they are strictly prohibited from extorting prisoners and civilians. Anyone who violates the rules will be followed."
Electric sparks appeared among Sasuke, and he tossed them around like a rubber ball, causing the officials to step back in fear.
"Currently, there are no projects in Fujimoto Castle, so let's stop the corvee work first. It's some kind of private project where we hire people to do it ourselves.
"Still, manage the people under you. If you can't manage them well, you won't need to manage them in the future.
"Pass on what I say. Anyone who can't do it should go to jail directly. My eyes will always be on you."
Sasuke finally threatened, looking around at the officials with a sinister look, who all lowered their heads in fear. Sasuke certainly wasn't going to waste time looking at them, but next time he would use genjutsu to test what they were doing.
"Yes, Uchiha-sama." The old man Togo stood up and bowed to Sasuke. The other officials also responded and saluted, and yes, they knelt down in fear.
"Uchiha-sama will definitely have a good castle lord."
The old man Dongxiang touched his beard and was relieved that he had an old minister of the Goto family who believed in Buddhism just like the head of the family. In the past few years, without the suppression of the family head, some officials in Fujimoto Castle began to act randomly and refused to obey the orders of him, the so-called remnant of Goto. If Konoha wasn't there to control them, these corrupt guys would only become more unscrupulous.
Sasuke looked at Togo. According to the intelligence, this person was very capable and moral. He was only implicated in Goto's rebellion and couldn't control the situation. He observed this man and found that although he was older, his body bones were quite good and could be reused.
"Mr. Togo." Sasuke bowed slightly to him. Togo sided away, not daring to accept the courtesy. "You have elders and people who manage Fujimoto Castle. This city will have to be taken care of by you in the future."
"If you are dissatisfied, just tell me and I will solve the problem for you." Sasuke smiled and looked at some officials who looked particularly guilty.
"Don't worry, City Lord, I will do my best."
There was another city lord who was not stationed in the city. Dongxiang looked at this young and handsome boy curiously. These adults all have this, except for the capital city, nothing can attract their attention. The Goto family is like this, and this Uchiha who was born in Konoha is no exception.
Sasuke stayed in Fujimoto Castle for a few days and visited the whole town. Due to the coming of the Chunin Exams, there have been many more ninjas from other countries here recently. They walked around here curiously and had some arguments from time to time.
"Teacher Asuma, is there Fujimoto Castle here? It feels pretty good. I want to go shopping." Ino, who came over to perform stability maintenance tasks, was a little excited. She heard that there are many shops in Tanshu Street here, so she Prepared for shopping.
In order to prevent ninjas from other countries from causing trouble, Dongxiang hired Konoha ninjas in advance to maintain order.
Konoha dispatched Team 10, led by Sarutobi Asuma.
"Be serious, Ino. We have a mission. After the mission is completed, we will return to Konoha to take the Chuunin exams. There is no time for free activities."
Sarutobi Asuma said while hanging his cigarette. To be honest, he was a bit tight on time for this mission. Everyone in Konoha is busy with the Chunin Exams, and it's not okay if their class doesn't take on this task.
Hearing from his father that Fujimoto Castle had a new owner, he had to come over to visit the new neighbor and find out more about it. I heard that this new city lord came from Sanjo Castle to replace the previous one who was unlucky enough to be exterminated.
The nobles of Sanjo Castle usually do not leave the capital. Asuma estimated that he could only visit his client, Mr. Togo, this time.
