Start farming in Konoha

In the third month, the fertilizer factory was built together with the machinery factory. This is now a five-factory factory with a booming business. After all, although Xu Qiang's farm can be harvested 5 times, the fertilizer required is 10 times that of ordinary fields. Xu Qiang used to They all use human and animal manure and struvite from the Kingdom of Water as fertilizers. Not only are they expensive, but they are often not enough to affect food production. Now the output of the fertilizer plant is enough for him to open several new farms.

The same goes for the machinery factory. Because there are so many fields to harvest at once, a large amount of agricultural machinery is needed, so a large amount of machinery is needed. Moreover, the agricultural machinery of the Fire Country is very backward. The agricultural machinery produced by the machinery factory is not only in demand in Konoha Village, but also There is a lot of demand in the Fire Country, and Xu Qiang's textile factory also requires a lot of textile machinery, so while other factories are still struggling to survive, these two factories have begun to make money.

However, the most profitable thing is the textile factory. It has been three months since Xu Qiang established the cotton base. Xu Qiang underestimated the difficulty of producing cotton. Harvesting cotton is very labor-intensive, more than 3 times that of rice fields, but it is also very profitable. The cotton in the fields has been harvested three times, at 10 kilograms per mu. Now there are nearly 3 kilograms of cotton. A kilogram of cotton costs more than 20 yuan, which is more than twice as much as that of medium-sized rice. However, the textile factory established by Xu Qiang can weave a piece of cotton cloth from 60 pounds of cotton. In the Land of Fire, the price of a piece of cotton cloth is 100 taels. In this way, one acre of cotton field can produce 2 taels of silver, which is almost 4 times that of a rice field. . But now the textile factory not only lacks manpower but also lacks machinery, but in this way the textile factory can produce 15 pieces of cloth every month. The money made makes the ninjas of Konoha Village jealous, and everyone knows that this is not the limit, after all, most of them The cotton is bought without being woven into cloth. If the textile factory expands to the extent that it can digest all the cotton, it will not be a dream to make 75 million taels a month. Now I earn nearly 10 taels a month and support a large number of ninja families. After all, it is good to take care of your own people.

Now Konoha Village has the appearance of a busy industrial city. A large number of merchants come to Konoha Village to buy food, cotton and cloth. They have prospered the carriage shops in Konoha Village, and the number of ninja escort tasks has also increased. These factories have also brought tens of thousands of workers here for consumption. The market has become bigger and tax revenue has increased. In addition to the factory's collection, Konoha Village's finances have never been better. With this money, Senju Hashirama started Konoha's development. Supporting facilities were built, water plants began to be built, and power plants began to spread to every household. Xu Qiang was stunned when he saw it for the first time. The Ninja world, which had not completed the first industrial revolution, actually had electric lights. This is a black technology. . Now Konoha Village has become a city with a population of nearly 10 and is as prosperous as the capital of the Fire Nation.

At the end of the year, Konoha Village held a summary meeting.

Senju Hashirama said happily, "Thanks to our production department, we can have a good year this year. Our Konoha Village's income this year is 350 million taels." Then he said proudly, "Each department can prepare the New Year's goods." Report it to me and treat it as a welfare for Konoha ninjas." Finally, he was no longer afraid of various departments asking for money. When Konoha Village was first established, Senju Hashirama was troubled by money issues almost every day. This time, I finally stood up as a serf and sang, and I could be heroic for once.

After hearing such a good thing, of course everyone was not polite and asked for more benefits for their departments. Only Xu Qiang didn't care. After all, he produced most of the products in Konoha Village.

Then Uchiha Madara came out and said, "Our Anbu wants to update weapons, and now the list is in hand." After saying this, he called Senju Hashirama.

Senju Hashirama said, "I agree. Now that I have money, I need to keep up with the equipment. This way, the success rate of the mission will be higher, and it can better protect the ninja." Senju Hashirama said this, and other elders also said this. Have to agree

Then Sarutobi Sasuke said, "Now in the Ministry of Education, there are many more adult ninjas. Their consumption is greater than that of young ninjas, so next year's funding will also increase. This is next year's budget." After that, he handed it to the Senju Pillar. On hand.

"We need to increase the training of production ninjas. After all, if our Konoha village wants to be rich, we still need to rely on them. You need to increase the number of teachers in this area and train more production ninjas." Senju Hashirama said. With this earth-shaking change in Konoha Village, Senju Hashirama has completely believed that industry can change the ninja world. In less than a year, the number of Konoha ninjas has reached 1, and the additional 4000 ninjas are all Xu Qiang It is necessary to produce ninjas, but even so, Xu Qiang often does not have enough manpower to ask other ninjas to do part-time work to help. Because there are not enough skilled ninjas, many of Xu Qiang's plans can only be on paper. Now Xu Qiang finally understands why industrialized countries place great emphasis on To strengthen education, Konoha Village cannot provide the technical talents that this small industrial base needs.

Sarutobi Sasuke promised Senju Hashirama, "I will definitely strengthen and strive to train 1 production ninjas next year."

In fact, such ninjas are very easy to train, as long as they continue to exercise and then let them produce chakra. In ninjas, everyone has some chakra, but ordinary people don't have enough to eat, so they don't have chakra. . As long as they eat enough and do some reasonable exercise, the average person can have the sense of chakra in one month. The accumulated chakra in three months can release ninjutsu. However, ordinary people have little potential and will not be able to do it in their lifetime. However, it is not cost-effective to train ninjas to the level of genin, but now it is very cost-effective to train ninjas as skilled workers. After all, you don’t need to learn as much combat knowledge as fighting ninjas. To produce ninjas, you only need to cultivate chakra and learn a few functions. A simple ninjutsu to get things done will do.

Just compare it. It takes 6 years to train a child to become a ninja in Konoha, but it only takes 3 months to produce ninjas. It is for this reason that there are 4000 more ninjas to produce, and training a fighting ninja is very expensive. , but it costs less to produce ninjas, the results are quick, and they make more money than ordinary ninjas. So now the villagers of Konoha Village are very optimistic about this popular industry, and every time there is an enrollment, there are crowds of people rushing to sign up.

Senju Hashirama heard this and said happily, "This is a good plan. I will give your department more funds to strengthen it." Now he has money and is willful.

Xu Qiang doesn't have any plans this year. He just wants to improve the industrial zone from its current half-dead condition, so he is looking for a market for these products every day, so he doesn't say anything.

The other departments had nothing to say. The only requirement was for funds, but Senju Hashirama, who was rich, agreed with a wave of his hand.
