Ninja Ice House

Shimura Danzo has secretly unsealed many forbidden techniques, trying to find further powerful power from them. When the treacherous ninja world will gain more dominance in the future, the Chunin Exam held in Konoha Village is about to enter the final stage. stage.

Two days in advance, Ren Daming and Patriarch Gushan arrived at Muye Village, where they lived in a luxurious manor that was expanded and refurbished again, like a palace complex.

Although it is called a private manor, it is not much different from a large castle. It covers an area including the attached farms, botanical gardens, training grounds, medicine gardens and workshops, etc., which is larger than the territory of ordinary small nobles.

Fortunately, this place is usually not open to the public. During the year, certain festivals such as banquets, horse races, and outings are held, and nearby celebrities are invited to visit.

With a radius of nearly [-] kilometers, Konoha Village is considered a prosperous place. If the manor is upgraded to a large town, more than half of the foreign population in Konoha Village will be diverted immediately, and the former "No. [-] Ninja Village" will also bear a big impact .

It's not that no one in Muye Village has seen the hidden dangers. However, Gushan Bushui has been buying nearby land for more than ten years, accumulating bit by bit, and the originally scattered land has been connected together to form the current scale.

At the beginning, no one thought that Gushan Bushui would have such a big hand, and when it first appeared, it was too late to stop it.

No one can find a flaw in the land won by real money.

The uncle, who had been daimyo for a while, visited with Patriarch Gushan together, adding a lot of luster to this newly developed private property.

What is unknown to outsiders is that Uncle Zhi Ji, who has been out of mainstream sight for many years, is among the team.

It has been a while since the follow-up entrustment of the Konoha Village reconstruction plan was entrusted.After being busy for so long, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Chunin exam, I finally have time to rest.

The former Uncle Zhi Ji was really inexperienced in the sensitivity of the situation, so he had an overturning experience.

Now, after such a long period of precipitation, I have gained a lot of insight, especially after several long talks with Gushan Bushui, my vision of seeing the essence through phenomena has improved a lot.

It has been a long time since Gushan Bushui had such an encounter with him with a large pile of ledgers to discuss important matters with him.

After flipping through the thick account book for a while, and picking out the general outline, Gu Shan Bu Shui asked with a smile:

"It looks like a lot of work has been done, it's really hard work."

"In fact, I don't need to do trivial matters. Some of them are accountants, so just leave them to them. I just summarize and review and summarize some rules."

"What's the gain?"

Uncle Zhi Ji knocked on the cover of the account book, shook his head slightly and replied:

"These...are superficial articles. It doesn't really matter if you earn more or less. What really matters to me is that through these figures, I seem to see that Konoha Ninja risked his life and worked hard to complete the task. Most of the rewards are plundered by the method of "ant moving". Eating, drinking, sleeping, moving, sitting, lying and walking, every bit of the life of Muye villagers is almost controlled by an invisible string, like a string Puppet, driven..."

It seemed that superficial words were hard to describe what was in his heart. Uncle Zhi Jibiao paused, sorted out his wording and explained again:

"The so-called 'Konoha Reconstruction Plan', you don't seem to care about how much money you make, but more concerned about whether you can take away the savings of the Konoha villagers as much as possible, and even make them bear heavy debts..."

Hearing this, Gu Shan Bu Shui clapped his hands and smiled.

"All living beings always think that as long as they work hard, work hard, be diligent and frugal, they will get rich one day. In fact, they don't understand that this world is more cruel than imagined. There are wolves who eat people and don't spit out their bones. ..."

Making more money yourself does not necessarily make you richer; taking away other people's wealth and making them poorer can actually widen the gap between rich and poor.

Money is capital, but capital is not just money. It is a scourge. Those who want to eat meat, once they can't eat others, they are likely to turn around and eat themselves back.

During this time, Uncle Zhiji was really shocked by the boldness of his nephew.

Gushan Bushui's arrangements over the years are not so much working hard for the development and growth of the family, but more like suppressing Muye Village. The means are close to hostile wars.

It's just a means of entrapment, not a fight with swords and swords, but a secret battle that kills without blood.

Stupid, weak, tired, humiliated, and poor, one step at a time, approaching day by day, leaving Muye Village with no time to care about others, and unable to pose a threat to Daimyo and the Gusugi family.

To put it bluntly, Fusugi Bumizu didn't place his hopes on Konoha Ninja's kind heart, admitting that he was inferior and recognizing the authority of the daimyo.

Needless to mention Uncle Zhi Ji's background, he has basic political literacy, and he is very clear about the true meaning of Gu Shan Bu Shui's actions.

"You don't want revenge because the third generation didn't give you a ninja 'license'? We need a strong Konoha Village in the Land of Fire, and weakening it too much is not the best policy..."

"No, you misunderstood me. I just want to give us a part of the 'dividend' from the development of Muye Village. The wealth of the world does not fluctuate much in the short term. If you want to become stronger, you need to master two skills,' In the field of cake making and cake sharing, Konoha Village now has an absolute advantage, and its efficiency is far from being comparable to that of the world. Therefore, I need to hold the knife of 'cake sharing' and take it away. Otherwise, Muye Village, which is 'too full' and 'too fat', will be difficult to control..."

Compared with reducing the amount of tasks, controlling quotas, and targeting them openly, the method of Gu Shan's water divination is obviously more clever.

It is necessary to pluck the feathers of the goose, but not to make the goose cry.

This requires very sophisticated manipulation skills.

Too little and too slow plucking will have no effect, too fast and too much, and you will become bald. Who can't see it?

In general, Gushan Bushui lent a large amount of reconstruction loans to Muye Village. After being packaged layer by layer, they were distributed to each family in Muye Village. This actually increased the burden on ordinary villagers, but it was not too difficult to live on.

It's just that it's just a few years of hard life.

"Bu Shui, since I can tell, the others are not fools, there are always smart guys who can understand your plan."

"It's okay."

Gu Shan Bu Shui waved his hand with a smile, and responded indifferently,

"They...the Konoha Ninjas may think that it was our Gusugi who sent charcoal in a timely manner and gave them the necessary support. When I stood on the burnt ruins of Konoha Village, I was the one who provided them with what they urgently needed."

"I hope nothing happens."

Regarding this point, Uncle Zhi Ji was very worried, but it was not the same as his original ideal, or even ran counter to it.

Of course, the ancient cedar's practice of divination of water is the style of the nobles of the Kingdom of Fire.

"You are looking at the influence of Konoha ninjas on our Gusugi from the point of view of 'human nature is evil'..."

Gu Shan Bu Shui shrugged and said slowly:

"Sit firmly in your position, don't be 'crooked', I don't care much about 'good nature' or 'evil nature'. Among the Konoha ninjas, there are indeed a few trustworthy guys, but for the group of Konoha Village, I don't care. We will not ignore their huge impact on us..."

Seeing that Uncle Ji Ji couldn't bear it, Gu Shan Bu Shui calmly persuaded:

"You also know that for us traditional 'decaying' big aristocrats, the so-called 'orthodoxy' is just a cover to conquer people's hearts. The real foundation is the economic order and system established in the land. To put it bluntly, we are big landlords, local tyrants The spokesperson of the evil gentry. At the level of the daimyo and the Gusugi family, the position is not completely consistent with those squires who are domineering in the local area, but we really need their support to maintain the situation."

In other words, the villages and clans established by enfeoffment are spread all over the Land of Fire, which is beneficial to the nobles like the Gushan clan, and the land and its income are the hard currency; urbanization, developed commerce, great voyages, international trade, etc. , is harmful to the spokesmen of the feudal forces, the more developed they are, the harder the impact on the daimyo and Gusugi.

The advancement of urbanization gave birth to a huge citizen class. The process of its growth was to destroy the traditional villages and clans, and the developed capitals such as precious metal currency and credit currency that were born to maintain their operation formed another counterweight. class.When it takes the initiative and grows to the point of completely suppressing the interest classes derived from the land, and merging and annexing them, it means the end of the "superior" bloodline nobles like Daimyo and Gusugi.

Even in the super-developed information age of Gu Shan Bu Shui's previous life, after all the order has been stripped away, only "land economy" and "money and finance" are left, without exception, farming, grazing, and building workshops on a piece of land It is still opening a bank, but the development of science and technology level has brought about the improvement of productivity, which makes the utilization efficiency of "land" and "currency" different.

When the two are merged into one, if the Gushan family has not completed the transformation, the mercenary group like Muye Village, which has the power to control force, will no longer be obedient.

"Therefore, the reins and whips that control Muye Village cannot be relaxed, but must be strengthened to buy time for changes at the secular level. Before fully grasping the initiative, find more things for Muye Village to do, don't be idle Come and join me in my transformation of the Nation of Fire. By the way, I will also borrow the power of the Konoha ninjas, after all, they are quite strong and very useful."

Of course, it would be the best if the resistance of Konoha Village can be successfully disintegrated and completely brought under its command.Considering the development in the next decade or so, this possibility is close to zero, but we also need to make some preparations. Things in the future are not static.

Uncle Zhi Ji pressed his temples to wake up his sore head, and sighed slightly.

"I see. Next, we have to improve it. Although there is no doubt about Konoha Ninja's repayment ability, we have to be prepared to be repudiated."

Whether it is lending or borrowing, the ability to deal with default is the real core.

Money is quantified capital, but this is not all. How to use measurable money to buy unmeasurable core competitiveness is the key. Otherwise, it is useless to earn a pile of waste paper.

"Even if it makes Muye Village earn a little more money, it doesn't matter. The numbers on the surface tend to give people a false sense of strength and satisfaction. This illusion can also temporarily paralyze their resistance."

"I understand."

Uncle Zhi Ji nodded understandingly,

"Are you going to start the plan to decouple the currency from precious metals that you mentioned last time, and issue a sovereign credit currency?"

"Not the time."

Gushan Bushui shook his head with a smile, the whole ninja world is still in chaos, and the current currency is still gold and silver. Now issuing sovereign credit currency will only suffer from the deepest mountains and old forests, the lowest level civilians who are not in line with the world, rich and powerful The wealthy townsmen will immediately abandon the sovereign credit currency without any real value, restart the gold and silver physical currency, and even barter.In this case, it will not have the effect of "cracking down on profiteers" and "cutting leeks", but will make it more difficult for the poor.It would be troublesome if guys like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang gathered to rebel because of this.

Although it is impossible to play the ninja version of "quantitative easing", you can find a way to reserve gold and silver.

There are many gold and silver mines that can be mined in the entire Ninja Continent, but it is still not enough for the market circulation demand.

Fortunately, there is a group of "mermaids" in Gushan Bushui, who can search for wealth in the depths of the vast sea, and have no competitors yet.

Are precious metals such as gold and silver more valuable?

This is a good thing, Gushan Bushui can mine seabed mineral veins and continuously invest reserves to issue a large amount of banknotes.Without the influence of the extraordinary professional group of ninjas, Gushan Pushui is sure that this simple technique will not be outdated for 200 years.

Even if the ninja world develops by leaps and bounds in the next 20 years, there will be at least half a century left.

After such a long time, if Gushan Bushui has not settled Konoha Village and made the daimyo and the Gusugi family the real rulers of the Land of Fire, then it is better to go back to the hometown and close the door and spend a lifetime of drinking and drinking.

"I'll just do what I'm doing right now. When things stabilize here, I'll go back to Inaba Academy and be a teacher."

"Why... are you addicted to teaching?"

"Change your mood. After seeing so many insidious means of killing people without blood, I have to change my environment and cultivate my morals. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will doubt my life in the future."

"Where is this?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui said with a narrow smile,

"You have also seen the world, how could you be distracted by such a trivial matter?"

"Forget it, you bastard, you looked very honest when you were young, but when you grow up, you have a bad stomach. I don't know where you learned it from. Your parents are not such people."

"Extraordinary talent, self-taught without a teacher."

"Anyway, don't overdo it."

Uncle Zhi Ji finally warned,

"No matter how the outside world changes, it is still people who determine the future of this world, and the original intention cannot be overwhelmed by foreign things. Muye Village...is not an enemy whose contradictions cannot be reconciled, but an ally that can be won."

"I see."

Gu Shan Bu Shui nodded,

"It's dangerous to be my ally, and it's deadly to be my enemy. I just wanted to prevent my allies from making mistakes and becoming enemies, so I made up my mind and made so many arrangements that could have been avoided..."
