The raindrops were crushed in my hands, and the fragrance of earth spread in the wind. The swallows huddled under the eaves, three in a row, tilting their heads and staring at me.

I say I hope it will be sunny, but in fact I wish it would rain for a while longer.Developing agriculture is my current top priority and the most upright conspiracy.For any camp in the Kingdom of Fire, growing more food in the ground will be beneficial without any harm. Even the retainers and the old forces in the temple have no reason to stop me.

Spring rain is as precious as oil. The wheat and millet that have just been sown are desperately absorbing nutrients. This rain is a good medicine to encourage them to grow vigorously.I heard several nearby families talking happily, saying that there would be a good harvest this year.

"If my family writes me a letter asking me if my ninjutsu has improved in the past few months, what should I say? 'Yes, I chop down trees every day to practice wind escape!'" Shanzhong Shuangye made faces at everyone, causing a burst of laughter.

"Hahahaha!" When everyone stopped talking, one person still slapped his leg and laughed.

"Hahaha - why are you looking at what I do?" I asked knowingly, "It's quite funny. I want to laugh too, right?"

The teenagers were very aggrieved, especially a group of middle school students who dared to get angry but did not dare to speak up in front of their class teacher after their physical education class was occupied as a math test.

I watched their expressions with interest.Although I have emphasized the importance of agriculture many times, the deep-rooted "professional positioning" of the ninjas is far from being erased. They do not feel that they should also become participants in agricultural production activities, and still adhere to the mentality of mercenaries. Once the task is completed, the next developments are none of their business.

Some of them realized that they had the power to promote social change, such as Hashirama and Madara, but their knowledge ultimately limited their vision.

Who stipulates that social change can only occur through war?

"Frost Leaves in the Mountain, do you know why I laugh?"

When he heard me call him by his full name, the blond ninja stopped playing around and lowered his head: "I don't know."

I motioned for him to look at me: "Because I have a reason to reject you."

"For you now, the battle drill is basically a mess, and it is difficult to bring you more improvement. You have cooperation, but it is not true tactical cooperation. It is just a person's subconscious use of environmental conditions, and it is just a personal basis. React instinctively.”

"Once you are asked to fight as a combat team against another team, the weakest part will be defeated quickly——" I glanced sideways at Qiudao Zhuangma, and he trembled when I saw him, and the flesh on his belly bounced. .

"The strongest part will divide the team due to the struggle for leadership——" Under my gaze, the Senju brothers and Uchiha brothers were sweating.

"As long as the remaining ones are separated from the command of the team, they will easily be deliberately marginalized and lose their will to fight." Yan Feng pointed out, and Hyuga Masanori, Nara Shikatsu and Yamanaka Shimoha all swallowed their saliva.

"You may want to say, 'As long as I'm familiar with the person I'm teaming up with, isn't it enough to know his secret techniques, chakra attributes, and mastery of ninja illusions?'

"I tell you, it's not enough! What is a true comrade? You are the one who knows all his attack and defense intentions, the one who is able to cooperate even when information is cut off, and attack and retreat like one person's left and right hands, the one who is you. Ability to adhere to the same command, make consistent judgments, and execute orders without hesitation!

"In the past, you may have had comrades like this in your clan, but being of the same clan also means homogeneity. Being with them for a long time has made your ideas restricted and rigid. But now, six different ninja clans have different fighting ideas. and habits, the first step you should do is to exchange experiences with each other, and then go into battle after you are confident, instead of like now, you can talk about everything, but keep secrets when it comes to your own race and yourself. You have to work together and learn together, Get along and get along...the idealistic idea of ​​fighting by feeling alone won't work, swords and guns have no eyesight, and I won't let you continue actual combat drills before you truly understand each other."

All the ninjas saluted me: "I will teach you."

"We will only fall behind if we cherish ourselves. Only by being open and inclusive can we progress. This is an irrefutable truth in the development of human society. The old restrictions of the Ninja clan are already a stumbling block for you, just like you can never find policies suitable for the present from ancient books. Who can break the old rules, who has the right to make new rules.”

If the Mangekyou Sharingan does not have Hashirama cells, the problem of exhausted pupils can only be solved through blood exchange; if the Byakugan continues to be a secret that is not passed down, generations of the Hyuga family will be engraved as caged birds and enslaved; If the Nara and Akimichi families don't put down their guard against each other, the best combat team, Inokacho, will never appear in history...

I looked at the young faces and their lowered eyes.How much can they listen to?How much influence can they have on the leadership of the ninja clan?

All ninjas can afford the words "youth and maturity". When I mentioned the above-mentioned principled issues, they did not give me any response, and they were obviously unwilling to go beyond the clan elders to express their position to me on this issue.Even Hashirama and Madara have their own concerns in their hearts.

Am I too impatient?After spending such a long time with the ninjas, the conflict between Xiao Xing and the ninjas has not been bridged. The gap between the ninjas may be deeper than I imagined.

I took a sip of water and suppressed my chaotic thoughts: "Let's change the topic."

The ninjas all let out a sigh of relief, and the little ones were also activated from the standby state, and everyone's tight sitting postures finally relaxed.

"We've been bored in the city for three months. We finally let you come out to relax and get close to nature, but you're still not happy." I puffed up my cheeks and pretended to complain.

Ranmaru raised his hand: "I and Canaan have only gotten close to the old men from So, Cun, and local tycoon clans, and there is a lot of data that is mind-boggling."

"Those who are able work hard, and who else is qualified to do such a big thing as land liquidation except you? The two talented people are suffering," I pointed at the ninjas teasingly, "and these people don't even know the inventory of the four pillars. There’s nothing anyone can do to help you.”

Ranmaru smiled, his peach-blossom eyes flashing; Kananxu clenched his fist and put it in front of his mouth and coughed, trying hard not to let me see his smile.

Hashirama exaggeratedly pulled down his cheeks with both hands and made a grimace: "Wow, Your Highness is so outrageous. He gives us a bunch of tasks and still makes fun of us."

I asked him back: "While you are doing farm work, aren't you also mastering chakra volume and chakra control?"

Hashirama's face really fell this time: "Your Highness, your tone is exactly the same as the old abbot who always advises me to recite the Buddha's name silently in my heart every time I hold a Dharma meeting."

The word "Buddha" triggered Canaan's mechanism: "You should indeed recite the Buddha's name often. The Buddha's Dharma is boundless and has its own power of thought to bless it—"

"I was wrong, I was wrong. Master, please use up your magical power! Please spare me!" Hashirama rolled on his head amidst Canaan's murmurings, knocking Toramaru and Madara so hard that veins appeared on their foreheads.

Tobirama suddenly thought of something, but Nara Shikaji said it before him: "Where did your highness know about chakra?"

My smile faltered.

"His Highness also has an unusually deep understanding of various escape techniques." Quan Nai narrowed his eyes, and the ends of his raised eyes looked even sharper.

"Your Highness seems to know the strengths of each race better than we do ourselves." Hyuga Masanori tapped his fingers rhythmically.

"His Highness's idea of ​​using ninjutsu is very different from our understanding, but it has its own system." Madara pressed his knuckles against his chin.

"Your Highness also has an extraordinary understanding of the role of various types of ninjas in combat." Tobirama didn't miss my every expression.

"I have never read His Highness's thoughts, because even when His Highness broke it into pieces and explained it to me, I might not be able to understand it." Shanzhong Shuangye scratched his head and said solemnly.

Except for Akimichi and Kinoshita, who were hiding in the corner to avoid suspicion, everyone rolled their eyes at him.

Hashirama made the final blow: "My tribe and I are the first ninjas that His Highness has come into contact with, right? We have never provided you with this information, right?"

My heart beat like ten spots dancing there, and my throat was as dry as if I had Gaara's gourd stuffed inside.But I have long-trained skills as an actor, and my facial muscles automatically combined to form an inscrutable smile, and I simply didn’t say a word.

The ninjas stared at me for a long time, and the pairs of black, brown, and cyan pupils made my eyes hurt. Some even opened their Byakugan and Sharingan, but I remained unmoved.

Shuangye in the mountains began to secretly make small moves, taking advantage of the strong horse on the autumn road to cover his hands with his sleeves and plan to form a seal.How could I give him a chance? I pointed my finger and shouted: "How dare you!"

Of course he didn't dare.He realized that he had violated a taboo and hurriedly saluted and apologized.

I probably rarely show a serious attitude to them, and the ninjas and other people are silent and don't dare to continue to explore my details.They also knew that if Sakahara and others were involved, the matter would not end well.

I don’t want to use my identity to pressure others, but the extremely rich information in my mind is the foundation of my life, and only I, who know the whole picture, know how they can be gradually used in practice. If someone gets a glimpse of it, it will lead to the direction. Wrong guessing can even lead someone astray, which can cause big trouble.

So once again, I was forced to change the subject.

"As for that canal, I think we can complete the section from the Shinano River to the unnamed stream in the forest on the north side of Qingkei Village first this year, and then continue to the Shiro River when there are enough manpower. Do you have any suggestions? Let's brainstorm. .Kinoshita, come here too."

Tobirama and Hashirama added to each other: "Use earth escape to dig out the accumulated soil first, or the earth flow river is the first choice."

"The art of digging and digging is also possible, but the depth is not easy to master."

"The floating sand will be washed away with water escape, but what should we do if the river water washes away the mud?"

Nara Shikaji thought quickly: "First dig a section on the land side, clear a section, and finally dig through the side near the river bank."

"Wouldn't that be troublesome? It would save some effort to wash it directly with river water." Shanzhong Shuangye always likes to find tricks.

Kinoshita hesitated for a long time, and I saw that he looked like he was about to tie his tongue, so I directly called his name.

"Um, what if there's too much water seeping under the water?" he said cautiously.

Hyuga Masanori's cold face showed a hint of worry: "Also, what if both sides of the canal collapse?"

Ranwan and Canaan said in unison: "Reinforce with stones, plug the gaps with Sanhe soil, and it is best to have bluestone as the bottom."

Qiudao Zhuangma scratched his head and scratched his head: "Where can I get enough stones?"

It can be seen from the above discussion that everyone, including me, is a layman in engineering. When talking about the construction of water conservancy projects, they can memorize at most one selected article from "Shui Jing Zhu", but at this moment, they can only be used as doctors.

As for the reason... First, there are not many named people in the world who are good at this. Even if there are, it is difficult for me to recruit them. A mere small aqueduct is too unqualified for them; secondly, Second, professional books are hard to come by, and engineering books are even rarer. The mountain county kept them private and refused to lend them to me, and I didn’t have the Internet to obtain relevant knowledge. Third, I was almost out of money. After buying seeds, I set aside After paying for living expenses and paying the little ninja's mission fee, the money I asked from my elders was basically gone. As a puppet with ideals, I had to make a living on my own.

Naturally, I thought of the essential artifact for time travel, cement.

"Madara, Izuna, do you have a way to adjust the temperature of the fire release? For example, maintain the furnace temperature of [-] degrees Celsius for a specific period of time - the flame temperature?"

"What do you think we are!" The Uchiha brothers reacted fiercely.

"Tch, if you can't, just say you can't."

The two fire-breathing dragons felt that they had been insulted in their proud expertise: "Although you spoke very quietly, we all heard it!"

I pretended like nothing happened: "Does anyone know where there are gypsum mines, limestone mines and clay mines?"

Hyuga Masanori pointed to the northwest: "There are many mines in Keyakihara and the western ocher mining area."

"Okay, I will estimate the amount needed later, and you and Ranmaru will take someone there."

"Yes."

"In addition, help me find a few skilled lime craftsmen near the mine and bring them back."

"clear."

Hashirama raised his hand and danced in the air like seaweed, afraid that I wouldn't see it.I made a gesture: "Speak."

"What is Your Highness going to do with these ores?" He expressed everyone's curiosity.

"We want to make a cementing material. This powdery material is mixed with water to form a slurry, which can harden in the air or in water, and can firmly bind sand, stone and other materials together."

"Wow! It's so powerful! It's like the secret technique of the ninjas of the Earth Kingdom!" Hashirama clicked his tongue, "If it is used to build a wall, the Tami Mountain Pass built some time ago may be stronger!"

"Yes, such a powerful thing should be used to build the city first!" Everyone was reminded, and they all advised me in a tone of "Don't overuse the materials."

In their view, if the city is not high enough and the sword is not sharp enough, no matter how much food is grown, it will be coveted and competed by others, and in the end it will be all in vain.

I have my thoughts.I really should have thought of using cement in engineering construction, and it was my negligence not to be prepared in advance.But even if there is a formula, cement still cannot be developed overnight. At that time, the construction of a city to defend against enemies was imminent, and one could not expect to use an immature technology to turn the tide.But now that the war in the west has calmed down, internal conflicts have intensified after the defeat of the Kingdom of Wind. The various regions of the Kingdom of Sichuan have become independent from national defense and have no time to look north. The Kingdom of Thunder in the east will not go south for the time being. Our first priority is not to repair defensive facilities.

"Agriculture is the foundation of all industries, and the agricultural economy is the cornerstone of today's society. You can't work on an empty stomach. We must build water conservancy projects first to increase land production, and then discuss building cities during slack times." I made the final decision.

Judging from everyone's expressions, power suppressed their objections and they were still unconvinced.

"Your Highness," Toramaru, who had just gone to check the horses, pushed open the door, "There is a samurai who calls himself 'Tenkai Jinji' and wants to see him."
