Start farming in Konoha

Chapter 72 Paper Money

Now the currency of the Country of Fire is mainly gold, silver and copper. The common people use copper coins, and the nobles and merchants use gold and silver. Now the Daimyo of the Country of Fire want to issue banknotes. Of course, Senju Hashirama is indispensable for this. The chief’s support.

After listening to Senju Hashirama's words, he remembered that in the anime, everyone used banknotes, but now the ninja world uses gold and silver as money. It turns out that the reform started at this time. After all, the Fire Country has been unified now. In the past two years, thanks to Xu Qiang, the productivity of Konoha Village has developed very fast, and there are no more wars in other places. The Fire Country's production has begun to recover. In this way, gold and silver are used to make For money, there is not enough money, which leads to the fall of objects and the rise of gold and silver in the Land of Fire. Simply put, deflation occurs. This can only happen when gold and silver are used as currency. Xu Qiang said I have never encountered such a thing. His country can only be inflation. After all, it is impossible to print more banknotes when there is less money.

Thousand-handed Hashirama doesn't understand things like the economy, and even people like Senju Tobirama don't understand it very well. Only Xu Qiang understands a little bit because he studied a little political economics in school. After all, he was in a world where he had only seen inflation. He had only heard of deflation in textbooks but had never seen it, so he did not discover that in fact these had already begun in Konoha Village, just like The price of food in Konoha Village is only 1 cent per pound, which is 10 times lower than that of the Country of Wind, and about 2-3 times lower than other places in the Country of Fire. Now this deflation is slowly spreading from Konoha Village. When the news spread to various parts of the Fire Country, where the materials produced by Konoha Village reached, local prices began to drop, and deflation began in that place.

This is also caused by the explosion of productivity. Take farming as an example. In the past, there were only more than 100 kilograms of rice per acre. Now, Konoha Village has not only started scientific planting to triple the yield per acre, but also uses wood for farming. The planting efficiency of a piece of land has increased by 3 times, which adds up to 10 times of efficiency. Such a large amount of materials are accumulated in the Kingdom of Fire, which of course causes a shortage of currency in the Kingdom of Fire and causes deflation.

It could have been solved by transporting excess supplies to other countries, but because of Senju Hashirama's establishment of Konoha Village, other countries began to break out during the period when Konoha Village's productivity exploded, and a war to integrate domestic ninja strength began. . Because of the war, all trade routes were blocked, and it was the combination of these factors that caused the deflation in the Country of Fire.

The top management of Konoha Village did not know what the consequences of such a reform would be, but the daimyo's agreement to build roads would bring nearly ten million taels of silver to Konoha Village. Of course, everyone supported the daimyo's reform. They will just happily plan how to spend such a large amount of money.

But Xu Qiang knows the consequences of doing this. If you compare it, everyone will know that a bowl of ramen in Konoha Village now costs about 7 Wen. But by the time of Uzumaki Naruto, it was about 70 ryang. That is to say, in less than 60 years, prices have increased more than 1 times. You can know how good the business of the Fire Country Daimyo was. He almost robbed the entire Fire Country with banknotes. country.

However, even if there were such consequences, Xu Qiang would not object. After all, he would consume gold to upgrade. Now he would consume 1 ton of gold to upgrade. If the Fire Country still uses gold as its currency, Xu Qiang alone can trigger A deflation, and now gold withdraws from the ranks of currencies is also good for him. As for inflation, it hasn't affected him yet. This is the advantage of being in Konoha. After all, Konoha Village is still a military base, and no matter how much you search, you can't find them.

And Xu Qiang thinks that the reason why the Fire Country's inflation will be so severe in the future is related to the three ninja wars. After all, the war costs a huge amount of money, and every time Konoha Village has more enemies than one, it consumes more money than other ninja villages. Much larger, it is estimated that the Daimyo had no choice but to use this method to plunder the citizens of the Land of Fire, and this would not cause the ninja to be dissatisfied, after all, the money plundered was spent on them.

After Senju Hashirama found the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to solve the financial problem of road construction, Konoha Village began a period of rapid development. A large number of ninjas who knew how to escape from the earth joined the road construction army. Now Konoha School's adult classes are very popular. , there are 50 people in a class, and more than 100 classes have signed up. These are not ninjas used for fighting. Most of them only learn to refine chakra and learn a few ninjutsu related to earth escape. Generally, they learn 3 You can graduate in just one month, and now Konoha Village also guarantees distribution. As soon as you graduate, you will have a monthly income of 10 taels of silver, which is equivalent to over people in the Celestial Dynasty. If they are not at the construction site, you can say that they are blue-collar workers.

The only drawback is that their combat effectiveness is not high. A genin who graduated from a ninja school can beat 10 of them. But this is not a shortcoming to Xu Qiang. After all, he believes that fighting is only one of the jobs of ninjas. It is a good thing for ninjas to have other jobs now. After all, for the world, more construction is definitely better than more. These destructive ones are much better, and Senju Hashirama is also happy to see such changes in ninjas.

In this way, Konoha Village has spent another year of rapid development. If JDP is used to express the development of Konoha Village, it is a growth rate of 30%. It can be said that Konoha Village is about to fly, and because of Konoha Village Yecun is also a production base for agricultural products, so prices are not high. It can be said that the current Konoha Village is a paradise for other places in the ninja world. Nowadays, a large number of residents of the Fire Country come to Konoha Village to settle. Now Konoha has become a large city of people. It's a city. Apart from the capital, there is no other city bigger than Konoha Village in the Country of Fire.

But Xu Qiang's power has dropped a lot this year. After all, there are now 4 to 5 production ninjas working under him, which is several times more than other ninjas in Konoha Village. It has affected the balance of power in Konoye Village, so he The production department was split out. Now he only manages the production of the land in Konoha Village, with only 8000 subordinates. Industrial production is handed over to Senju Tobirama, and road construction ninjas are handed over to Sarutobi Sasuke.

But Xu Qiang didn't care about this. The reason why he came to Konoye Village was to ensure his own safety, not to serve the ninjas of Konoye Village. He didn't value the rights of Konoye Village very much. In this way He was very happy to have his burden reduced. After all, it would give him more free time to do his own things.
