Started as a Hokage

The next day, a grand celebration began, and the small Konoha village gathered tens of thousands of tourists and businessmen from all over the Land of Fire.

The more people there are, the more it can reflect the value of a series of things that Gen Shuyi has done in Konoha before.

In particular, the commercial center developed in the central area of ​​Konoha Plaza offers everything from shopping and entertainment to hot spring gambling houses, which has greatly promoted the local economic development.

Of course, most of these properties are not owned by Yuan Shuyi. He just owns the property rights of the land.

But even so, the increase in land prices and rent alone is enough for him to make a lot of money.

What's more, when the flow of people in Konoha is too large, the value of his development land outside the village will also be reflected.

The transaction volume of houses in this month alone is enough to equal the transaction volume of Konoha in the past ten years. It can be said that the Genji Group has made a lot of money on this matter.

After being transformed by Gen Shuyi, Konoha can be regarded as a small town rather than a village. Moreover, this town is still expanding to the outside world. It is foreseeable that under the continuous development of the Genji Group , one day Konoha will become a town that can stand alone in the Land of Fire.

Even becoming a state within a state is not impossible.

Gen Shuyi stood on the high platform and looked at the bustling crowd and the transformed Konoha streets, feeling a surge of pride.

"Sir, the promotional activities have begun. Please come to the stage to give a speech."

The retainer of the Genji Group said to Minamoto Shuyoshi.

The first project is the longest of all the projects, but it is also the easiest.

Compared with the latter two, one has to face the challenge of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the other needs to be recognized by all the Jonin in Konoha.

On the contrary, this project does not have much technical content. It is just a face-saving project, passing on its advantages to the majority of Konoha villagers through publicity, thereby gaining the recognition of Konoha villagers.

Although the villagers of Konoha are not very important in the world of Naruto, there is nothing noteworthy about them.

But it is these villagers who can form a Konoha village, and it is these villagers who deliver a steady stream of ninja reserves and food supplies to Konoha.

This made Konoha's status in the Land of Fire transcendent.

Although they are small, they are an integral part of Konoha.

In the past, Konoha did not notice the attitude of these people, and they never had a say in the matter of electing the Hokage.

Now, Yuan Shuyi has handed this microphone to these people, allowing them to participate in important matters in the village.

This made the villagers burst into great enthusiasm.

At the same time, these enthusiasms also infected everyone who came to Konoha, so that they could not help but follow this huge group to celebrate this huge event.

In fact, people from the Hokage family were quite critical of the villagers' candidacy.

There was no concept of democracy at this time, not to mention that this was an era where ninjas had a transcendent status. Only ninjas could decide the future of ninjas.

As for those villagers, they just exist for the sake of existing.

Even without them, there would still be Konoha.

On the contrary, now Gen Shuyi has dragged them into the muddy water of the Hokage election, causing a wave of ripples in the entire lake.

This is actually detrimental to the Hokage series.

But when Yuan Shuyi sent a piece of information to these people, they all fell silent.

According to the data, it was these villagers who burst out with fierce enthusiasm that made the fame of this event radiate from Konoha to the entire Fire Country, and even Konoha as a whole.

It was they who ignited the enthusiasm of these outside participants.

It was they who made this otherwise boring election ceremony extra exciting.

They are like a trustee of Konoha, working hard to play their roles in front of everyone who comes to Konoha to watch, and then pulling these outsiders to participate in this grand event.

Why the family gambling houses of the Hokage family were able to amass a large amount of wealth in a short period of time has a deep relationship with these people.

Without the active participation of these villagers, how could it have attracted so many fat sheep into the gambling house to open the market.

So even though the first round of projects was somewhat meant for the villagers to entertain themselves, they were still allowed to participate.

It is enough to bring huge benefits to the ninja masters.

This is also the reason why Yuan Shuyi wants to prolong this event.

He needs these villagers to speak for him, and he also needs the villagers to make the entire event lively and expand his influence. He also needs the villagers to use practical actions to conquer these ninja masters and let him see clearly that there is no place for them to speak out in Konoha. The power of people.

……

……

Yuan Shuyi's speech was perfect.

As a Blue Star person, giving a speech on stage has been something that I have learned since elementary school. Whether it is a reward or a mistake, every child has the opportunity to appear on stage.

And when I grow up, I can see outstanding talents from various countries showing off their eloquence on TV news every day.

Some are emotional, some are impassioned, some are rhetorically gorgeous, and some are even more political show-offs.

When it comes to speech, Blue Star people have mastered it, and Yuan Shuyi is no exception.

A speech that received full applause from everyone present. Even those ninjas and villagers with low levels of education could fully understand the ideas that Yuan Shuyi wanted to express.

This alone is enough to make most villagers turn their hearts towards Yuan Shuyi.

Then there is the promotion of Yuan Shuyi's achievements in recent years.

This thing can be artistically processed, but it cannot be faked.

Yuan Shuyi suffered a disadvantage in this regard. As the old saying goes, he was too junior and had no real achievements to show for it.

However, the Namikaze Minato Heroes Fund and villager resettlement alone are enough for him to win the favor of most villagers.

After the grand event in the morning, it was time for Hiruzen Sarutobi's speech in the afternoon.

In this regard, he was obviously tricked by Yuan Shuyi.

If there were two games in one day, Yuan Shuyi would definitely have an advantage in the morning game.

What's more, compared to Minamoto Shuyoshi who was well prepared, Sarutobi Hiruzen was obviously not used to the speech aspect.

Especially in front of the eager eyes of so many villagers below, I felt even more uncomfortable.

Because according to the past, speaking on stage in front of so many people was something you would do after a war to appease your family members.

This kind of speech during the election of Hokage is somewhat difficult to let go.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen's performance was not very good this time. His speech was stumbling, and the level of his speech was also very low. Although the rhetoric was quite gorgeous, the people who listened were confused.

Compared with Minamoto Shugi in the morning, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked much inferior.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen's resume really gives him too many points.

From fighting in all directions during World War I to breaking out of the Kingdom of Thunder with the Second Hokage, and then becoming the Third Hokage, he withstood the baptism of World War II and Three World Wars. During his tenure, countless new heroes of Konoha continued to emerge.

From the Sannin of Konoha to Namikaze Minato, and now Minamoto Shugi, all of them can actually be regarded as the achievements of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The overly brilliant resume also made the inexperienced villagers exclaim, and they had a deeper understanding of the unspectacular former Hokage on the stage.
