Konoha: This Uchiha is very stubborn.

Chapter 482 Talk [-]

"Hokage, what you said makes sense~"

After Toshiro finished speaking, the entire conference room fell into a brief silence.

Whether it is the several Kages present, the guards behind them, or Mifune as a witness, they all agree with Toshiro's point of view.

Unfortunately, approval does not mean agreement.

"But..." There was no expression on Ohnoki's face, and he said coldly: "In my opinion, what kind of strength you have, what kind of treatment you get."

"We don't need to care too much about the feelings of those small villages."

"Once we reach a consensus among the five major countries, the opinions of these people will not matter at all."

"Even if they are unwilling to give in, what else can they do besides making some small moves behind their backs?"

In Ohnoki's view, the world is like this. People with strength gain respect, but it is normal for people without strength to suffer losses.

As long as the five major ninja villages abide by this so-called compensation agreement, there is no need to bring those small villages with them.

These guys neither participated in the talks nor had the ability to do anything. How could they be compensated?

Even these compensations are things that I don't like.

"Tsuchikage, the reason why these people are included is to better maintain peace, which will help launch the next proposal."

Toshiro looked at the other Kages present.

Raikage's face looked indifferent, obviously he didn't care much about this kind of thing.

Feng Ying... Luo Sha is still a bit arrogant and has no obvious facial expression. However, with his extraordinary eyesight, he can find that the muscles at the corners of this guy's mouth seem to be slightly upward.

Is this... mockery?

As for Terumi Mei, her performance is quite satisfactory.The whole person was sitting on the chair. When Toshiro looked over, he smiled at him.

It's completely impossible to tell what this woman is thinking.

“Border trade has always existed intermittently between major countries, but the scale of this trade has always been small, and most transactions are completed through the hands of third parties.

Not only is the scale very limited, the price will also become very expensive, and when entering the country, you are always worried about being discovered by ninjas from various countries. "

When it comes to things like trade, no matter how well the ninjas of various countries guard against it, there will always be people who take desperate risks for the sake of profit in terms of supplies that are in short supply.

Things like medicinal materials and food from the Fire Country, delicacies and seafood from the Thunder and Water Kingdoms, minerals and alluvial gold from the Earth and Wind Kingdoms.

Just by selling it to other countries, you can get several times or even ten times the profit, and some people will take risks for this.

"I think we should increase trade exchanges between major countries, delineate specific trade zones, and stipulate the goods that each can sell."

"Then we will establish a plan for the cross-border circulation of goods to facilitate the exchange of materials between major countries."

"Those small countries are sandwiched between us and act as their own buffer zones. If their hearts are full of resentment and unwillingness, this will be very detrimental to our trade activities."

If nothing else, these small countries that serve as buffer zones are transit points for commodity circulation between major countries.

If this group of people thinks about sabotage every day, it will be almost a fatal blow to the development of commercial activities.

"Can the Hokage explain in detail the specific matters of opening a trade between us?"

Hearing the word business, Luo Sha's eyes flashed with desire.

Their country of wind has no shortage of minerals, especially precious metals such as alluvial gold.

However, the Kingdom of Wind is short of supplies. Even if there is gold, it is useless. It can neither be used as food nor water, and there is no way to exchange for supplies on the market.

If there was a channel through which they could exchange the supplies they needed, this would be great news for Sand Ninja Village.

"Take our Country of Wind and Country of Fire as examples. We look for a suitable location on our respective borders and designate a place as a trade point.

Not only are merchants from their respective countries allowed to enter and trade here freely, but ninjas from other countries are also allowed to enter this specially designated location. "

The ninja world is full of bandits and robbers. Businessmen must hire ninjas to protect themselves and their goods.

But in cross-border trade, these ninjas have no choice but to enter the borders of various countries. Even crossing those small countries is very risky.

Because these small countries have the shadow of major countries behind them.

"Create a piece of land and allow ninjas from other countries to enter it?"

After hearing Toshiro's words, everyone here, including Rasa and Onoki, already knew the general idea, but they still couldn't accept it at this time.

After all, in their view, allowing ninjas from other countries to enter their country is accompanied by aggression and risks.

Isn’t it worth the loss to take such a risk just for business?

"Of course, in these specially designated places, everyone needs to maintain order and... charge a certain fee."

This so-called fee is actually a tariff. Toshiro believes that these people will not feel sleepy when talking about this.

Everyone is a shadow, and the economic power of the village has always been in the hands of the daimyo. He believes that these people will have great enthusiasm for opening up another source of income.

"TOLL…"

Sure enough, as soon as Toshiro charged, the eyes of several kage present immediately lit up.

They looked at each other for a few times, then showed a knowing smile.

<divclass="contentadv">"Of course, we chose this place, and we maintain the order. If foreign businessmen want to do business in our country, or transport goods to our country, we can also provide ninja protection."

"It's only natural to charge them a certain percentage of the fees."

"After all, even if you are a ninja, we all have to eat to support our families~"

Suddenly, not only Luo Sha, who was originally in favor, Ohnoki, who had never been very interested in this, was a little moved.

Seeing that everyone was a little moved, Toshiro struck while the iron was hot.

"What kind of goods can be sold, how will everyone manage it after other ninjas enter this business area, and how much will be charged for the goods? We can negotiate a draft here today.

After everyone returns to the village, you can discuss it with the higher-ups in the village. "

"Our ultimate goal is to allow goods to cross each other's borders in large quantities."

This kind of matter involving trade between the two countries cannot be just a few of them meeting here and then making a decision.

After you return to the village, you still need to obtain the support of most of the village's senior officials. Afterwards, you have to select a location, negotiate the type of goods, and a lot of other things to do.

"I think this can work!"

As soon as Toshiro finished speaking, Mei Terumi was the first to stand up and support him.

The Mist Ninja is now in the recovery period and needs to do a lot of tasks to train the new generation of ninjas in his village.

In addition, they still owe Konoha a loan, and this time they also obtained Samehada from Toshiro.

She had no reason to object.

"I agree!"

Next is Luo Sha.

The Sand Ninjas lacked everything except sand. If they had this so-called trade zone, it would be an irresistible good thing for the village.

"I agree."

For Ai, it doesn't have much impact on whether things work out, but having extra income is not a bad thing.

"Old man..."

Seeing that the four Kages present agreed, Onoki wanted to be tougher.

"Father, if we miss this opportunity, it will be a huge loss for us Iwa Ninja."

There was still some reluctance to see Ohnoki, and Huang Tu, who had never had any sense of presence around him, was a little anxious at this time.

He could see clearly that, needless to say, the Suna Ninja, even the Mist Ninja agreed with the Hokage's suggestion.

Even if his old father objects, the kingdoms of fire, water, wind and thunder can completely ignore them and the kingdom of earth can do it on their own.

At that time, if the Iwa Ninja Village does not join, there will be no loss.

But there is a saying that goes well, sailing against the current will lead to retreat.

The four of them have received extra income, but there have been no changes on their side, which will put the Iwa Ninja at a disadvantage.

Moreover, he believed that the fourth generation Raikage also saw this, and then decisively joined in.

"The old man knows."

He glared at Huangtu dissatisfiedly.

This kid, maybe he thinks he is old and confused. How can he not understand such an obvious thing?

However, in his opinion, the one who will benefit the most from this matter is undoubtedly the Kingdom of Fire, which is located in the center of the entire world.

"I have another question. If our businessmen from various countries enter other countries, how can we ensure their safety? Will trade be restricted?"

"I have also considered this aspect."

Of course Toshiro has considered everything about the Tsuchikage's problem.

"In the respective trade zones, we will also set up a branch for task release and reception."

"Take the Kingdom of Wind as an example. A businessman from the Kingdom of Wind, with a batch of goods, can directly issue escort missions at these mission release points, and we will arrange ninjas to protect their safety."

"As long as his goods are within the scope of our permission, our ninjas will protect his personal safety and the safety of his goods."

"He can take this batch of goods to any trading point he wants to go, such as the Kingdom of Thunder."

"After arriving at the Kingdom of Thunder trading point, if he wants to enter the Kingdom of Thunder for trade, he needs to hire ninjas from the Kingdom of Thunder at the trading point to protect their safety within the Kingdom of Thunder."

"In this way, those ordinary people can make a living, the nobles can collect more taxes from them, the ninjas will have more tasks, and even the major villages will have extra income."

In order to convince Onoki, an old stubborn man, Toshiro could be said to have used all his eloquence.

He told him all the benefits he could think of.

Ps: There is another chapter, which is being proofread.
