Ninja Ice House

In the ninja world, traveling merchants hire bodyguards. They are afraid of bandits blocking the road and robbery.

The prosperity of the ninja group is inseparable from the observance of the various regulations of the ninja code by the major ninja villages.

The better the reputation and the more trustworthy, the more people will come to issue entrusted tasks.In the original timeline, in the mission of the Kingdom of Waves, Taodi, who evaded being hunted down, was always thinking of using Kaduo, then killing him, taking his family business, and making a comeback.

No matter how famous one is, if one becomes a traitor, not to mention one's own bad reputation, it will also implicate the ninja village.

Therefore, in order to restore their reputation, the major ninja villages will send special personnel to hunt down and kill rebel ninjas, and use their blood to cleanse the stigma.

There are too many rebellious ninjas in Wuyin Village, not only in quantity, but also in quality.Mist ninjas who are not strong, most of them died before they got their hearts together.

The various forces on the Ninja Continent do not like to hire the notorious Mist Ninja very much. This is inseparable from what they have done in the past.

The endless sea is too empty, too suitable for doing bad things.As for what Terumi Mei said

The excuse of "Misturin is cheap" made Gushan Bushui laugh out loud.The dignified Gushan family is short of your three melons and two dates?

Asking money in front of Gushan Shaodu, is it contemptuous?

"I don't know what the Master Bu Shui's request is? You can ask for it. We Wunin are very sincere. The fourth generation has been in power for many years and is determined to change the status quo. Strengthening ties with the mainland is the first step."

"You guys contact Konoha Village directly, wouldn't it be good to be a veritable ally? Naruto III Sarutobi Hiruzane is still easy to talk to. As long as you show your sincerity, maybe you are willing to share some benefits with you Mist Shinobi."

"No, no, you misunderstood! Cooperating with Muye Village is a charity, and joining hands with the Gushan family is beneficial to both parties..."

"For the time being, I don't plan to choose to cooperate with you for this trivial so-called benefit. If you take the initiative to come to the door, then prepare the conditions yourself. If you meet my requirements, you can talk about it in detail. Once I come to make a request , then it’s not a simple matter, you have to think clearly..." Now it’s just bargaining, and it doesn’t matter if it succeeds or not, but once Gushan Bushui opens his mouth, Wu Ninja disagrees, and the face of being refuted There is nowhere to put it.

Face is more important than money, this is the reality of the Gushan family today.

"Then... let's talk about other things first!" Terumi Mei is not a person who is entangled. It is indeed impossible to determine such a major event in a few words. After a long trial and bargaining, it is impossible to succeed at all.

"Regarding the growing labor dispatch between the country of water and the Gushan family, the daimyo entrusted us to talk to you about how to avoid risks..."

"What risk?"

"Smuggling, signing a labor dispatch contract, hiding out, population loss and other issues. You also know that the country of water is a barren place. If there are not many civilians to maintain it, the entire social order will collapse."

"That's true!" Gu Shan Bu Shui knew this situation well.How to attract the land of water, the land of waves, the land of the sea, the land of rivers, etc.

There is also a mature plan for "cheap labor" to build a rich and powerful Fire Nation.

Don't look at those who come from afar, don't even have a foreign identity, live in dilapidated work sheds with low wages, and do heavy work, you think they are enslaved.

The life under the rule of the Gushan family is much better than where they were originally.In Inaba country, as long as one is willing to endure hardships and earn a living, there is still great hope of supporting a family.

In a ghostly place like the Kingdom of the Sea, when Starfish's gold transport ship encounters a storm and fails to complete the transportation task on time, I don't know how many people will starve.

The country of water is a big country after all, and the Gushan family wants to give daimyo face.

"However, we don't care too much. After all, there are so many people, and it is impossible to keep an eye on them all the time. They are laborers, not slaves. If they really escaped, what name should I use to catch them?" Shan Bushui himself doesn't care about this kind of normal or abnormal folk flow at all.

Many of Kaguya-kunmaro, Shiro, Ranmaru, Yayoi and others under his command are foreigners.One of the established strategies is to attract external talents and improve the too rigid up-and-down flow mechanism within the Gushan family.

Absorb part of the workforce, keep the best and most value-creating top talents among them, and let them ask for their own blessings for the rest.

Illegal immigrants and so on, I am afraid that they overestimated the level of law and order in the ninja world.Except for the areas directly under the Gushan family's rule, foreigners without heels ran around. Even if they were not robbed by bandits, they were very likely to be eaten by ferocious tigers, leopards and wolves.

Ninjas are powerful and not very afraid. It is very dangerous for unarmed civilians to wander around in the ninja world.

It's really not that Gushan Bushui wants to design such a screening mechanism for the weak, but that it can't be done otherwise. The ninja world is like this bird from top to bottom. Gushan Bushui can only control the forces directly under him, and the rest can only be It can be handed over to social and economic laws to run on its own.

Terumi Mei seemed to have anticipated Gusugi Bumizu's excuse a long time ago, and smiled very mysteriously,

"You may have misunderstood the meaning of the name of the country of water. Those nobles are not worried that the number of civilians under their names will decrease, which will shake the foundation of their rule, but that there are too many people running away and too few people sending money home. .”

"oh, I see!"

There are too few tool people for "earning foreign exchange", and the life of the water country daimyo and his forces is not easy.In the ninja world, there is a very strange phenomenon, that is, the daimyo of a place is the owner of the country, but not the monarch who rules the people.

Let's put it this way, the daimyo is the big landlord, the great nobles are the small landlords, the local magnates and giant merchants are the long-term workers and their families, and the common people are the tenants.

Nominal affiliation and no set in no

For the tenants of "permanent property", they can change to another master at any time and continue to be tenants.If any landlord is more generous and gives long-term workers and family members the opportunity to have children, the tenants of other families will run away.

The so-called tyrants and giant merchants already have a certain status, and they have become the reserve of the nobility.The daimyo of the country of water is indifferent to the people under his rule, and Gushan Bushui also understands his mentality very well.

The monarch of the country is not the same as the monarch of the people.Although the people at the most basic level support the daimyo's ruling foundation, this is not entirely the case. They only provide financial and taxation, not military support, and they have to rely on the ninja village to maintain their power.

This is where the ninja world, a world where extraordinary power exists, is relatively sloppy, and the taxation and taxation are not unified.

The people pay taxes, and the ninjas pay taxes. The former provides money, and the latter provides force.The daimyo and the great nobles under his command maintained their rule under such a big environment.

Because the ninja village has no righteousness to collect taxes from the common people, the daimyo and the great nobles have the foundation of existence, instead of directly forming a pyramid society where force is paramount.

In the ninja world, the only big force that unified the power of taxation is the Gusugi family.Therefore, despite the name of the family, under the leadership of Shao Jiadu, the Gusugi family is already the group that most resembles a modern country in the ninja world.

Therefore, the expansion of the family under the leadership of Gu Shan Bu Shui is an all-round expansion, which not only suppresses the challenges of the secular forces, but also squeezes the space for ninjas to move.

Konoha Village because it is

"My own people", so the situation is not bad. Wuyin Village, a foreign ninja village that is playing side-by-side and reaping benefits in the ninja world, is simply a bad luck.

If you want to make a living on the mainland, yes, the only way is to grab the Gushan family's fleet, trading stations and warehouses.

It's okay to do some sneaky things occasionally, if it is a large-scale attack, the Fourth Ninja World War will not be far away.

"You Wunin came to ask for money, and the daimyo of the water country also came to ask for money, do you think that the money of our Gusugi family is easy to make?" Terumi Mei smiled and said: "Master Shaodu is a little bit more noble, and our life will be much better gone."

"Your ninja village will abolish the scale of ninjas on a large scale during peacetime. We big nobles can't even find an opponent to fight. What are we doing with so many armed forces? It is enough to keep a few family warriors to protect the caravan and defend the clan's land. " Gu Shan Bu Shui will not be merciful to give benefits just because of this little compliment,

"The demand for fighting and killing is not very great, but our Gushan family now has a great demand for building canals. This kind of task is not well paid and a bit hard, but the victory lies in stability." Of course, Hiring ninjas is not really for them to carry earthworks and lay foundations, but to eliminate passes when ordinary manpower is powerless or extremely inefficient. Honest guy.

Although it is a bit small, mosquito legs are also meat. Terumi Mei was slightly relieved, and couldn't help asking: "Does Konoha Ninja do this too?"

"In the hinterland of the country of fire, they are basically helping. The surrounding small countries, offshore islands, peninsulas are connected, etc. There are quite a lot of things." Not only the canal building, but the Gushan family's demand for land leveling and artificially creating high-quality farmland It is also very large. Taking advantage of the fact that the population of the ninja world has not yet exploded and a large amount of land is still uninhabited, Gushan Bushui has circled the best places to prepare for the efficient operation area of ​​mechanized farms and ninjas in the future. .

As for the steep terrain and difficult transformation, is this also a problem for ninjas with the power to move mountains and seas?

Speaking of this, Terumi Mei is excited, this is an opportunity to fight for benefits for Wuyin Village.However, Gushan Bushui will not really hire a large number of people because of the cheapness of the fog ninja, and go to the surrounding small countries, so that all places will wear

It's okay for the small forces of the "vest" to flirt with Mist Ninja, but if they are really alienated from Muye Village, then the gains outweigh the losses.

Now the scale of the ninjas in Konoha Village can't keep up, and they can't complete the task of Gushan's water conservation, so there is nothing to say about seeking foreign aid. In the traditional sphere of influence, it's better not to be too ostentatious.

"By the way, Master Lieutenant Governor, I heard that you plan to build a bridge from Inaba Port to Yuki Island, and hired bridge-building experts from the Kingdom of Nami to supervise the construction."

"You guys are well-informed. There are quite a few of your eyeliners in the Kingdom of Waves, right?" Gu Shan Bushui shrugged, not angry at all because of the news leak. Too much.

"It's true, not only Yuqi Island, the country of waves, the country of vortex, the country of bears and the country of the sea, some valuable outlying islands have bridge construction plans."

"There must be a lot of manpower needed, right? Can you give more consideration to the labor of the country of water?"

"Yes, yes! However, you are not going to learn the craft, and then build a large-scale sea bridge in the country of water, right?"

"Our Kirin is not as rich and powerful as the Gusugi family..." That is to say, there is already a plan, but there is no money and talent, so it is temporarily shelved.

A land of water that is too fragmented is actually not conducive to the management of daimyo and mizukage of the land of water, but once the fragmented islands are connected by bridges and the natural moat becomes a thoroughfare, the influence of daimyo and mizukage can spread relatively easily went.

By that time, the local tyrants who occupy the land as kings may not have a good life.

"This matter is still in preparation, and it's still too early to leave the work. Letting you temporarily participate in the defense and reconstruction of the canal, just because Konoha Ninja can't keep up, is a deal you want. If you want more benefits, please show Come with sincerity." Gu Shan Bu Shui no longer wanted to continue talking about this topic.

"Then...thank you, Young Governor, for your kindness. After I write to discuss with Daimyo and the fourth generation, I will not bother you again." Seeing Terumi Meimei's graceful figure disappear into the distance, Gusugi Bumizu put the matter aside for the time being.

Just as the young governor was about to go back to the study, a small head poked out from the door.

"Father, are you done?"

"It's Xiao Hiiragi, why did you come here to play? Didn't you take care of the two younger sisters?"

"Asleep, Jing and Si are both slobs."

"They are not as energetic as you, they are tired."

"Hmm! I want to see my sister..."

"Not now, my sister is honing her skills with her classmates and preparing to compete on stage..."

"Oh!" The little guy tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly realized,

"I lost last year, but I must win this year!"

"You still remember?" Gu Shan Bu Shui was a little surprised. A two or three year old child has a very poor memory. After a year, he can still remember what happened last year. It's amazing.

"Of course!" Xiao Hiiragi proudly raised his head, took Gushan Bushui's hand, and walked outside. Now is a good time for Yuqi Island to have a pleasant climate, and Xiao Hiiragi likes to go out for a stroll when he has nothing to do .

As she grew up, she was no longer satisfied with being at home

"Adventure" again.Although the house is very large, it is limited in the end, and you will get tired of seeing too much, but the outside world is bigger and more interesting.

"What do you want to eat today?"

"Tofu pot!"

"Your taste is so strange, you actually like spicy food." Every time I go out, I say it's to watch a game, but in fact I eat it from beginning to end. This little guy's appetite is really amazing.
