In the Land of Fire.
Nagato and Jiraiya are galloping above the treetops.
There is no other way. Compared with the muddy ground that requires chakra to be attached to the feet at all times, jumping on the trees is the most cost-effective way to move.
Even though they have entered the largest road in the Land of Fire to the capital, the ground is only slightly compacted by the wheels of the carriage, which is very different from the rural roads in the empire or even the small roads in the village.
Nagato expressed his incomprehension.
To get rich, you must build roads first.
The role of road construction is not only to promote economic development, but also to strengthen the connection between the two places, reduce transportation and travel costs, break geographical restrictions, and make it easier for remote or inconvenient areas to access a wider market and economic network.
Not only does it help drive economic growth, but it can also reduce logistics costs, improve logistics efficiency, and enable products to be shipped to various places faster and cheaper.
In addition, it can also break through the transportation barriers between urban and rural areas, promote the exchange of materials, personnel and information between urban and rural areas, and make domestic development faster.
Once the road is repaired, the quality of life, tourism and the promotion of a country's progress will be rapid.
But...
He has seen this world. Not to mention civilians, even ninjas rely on their own legs to travel.
What a barbaric way of traveling!
Wait! Is that a train track?
"You still have trains here?"
Nagato immediately blamed himself. He had a preconceived notion that they were not good enough, so he didn't ask more questions. Look! Isn't there a train?
But why didn't this "master" take him to ride it?
Jiraiya was slightly stunned when he heard Nagato's sudden question, but he immediately understood it when he followed Nagato's gaze.
"Oh, you are talking about steam trains. This thing has been eliminated a long time ago. Now only some older cities have them, and they are basically for sightseeing."
"Eliminated?"
Nagato was shocked.
Is the technological progress in this world so fast? Even trains are eliminated?
You should know that trains are still the main means of transportation in the empire. Although there are airplanes now, they are basically only the heads of state and dignitaries. Ordinary people simply don't have the financial resources.
You should know that the chakra consumed by each takeoff of an airplane is enough to drain a group of jonin. As for the so-called new energy in the empire, there is no big clue at present. Basically, most of them rely on chakra energy.
"Do you have airplanes?"
In the eyes of the simple Nagato, being eliminated must mean that something more convenient and less expensive has appeared!
"Flying Chicken?"
Jiraiya looked puzzled.
"I'm not sure what kind of summoning beast the flying chicken you are talking about is, but the elimination of our trains here has nothing to do with these summoning beasts."
Jiraiya spoke truthfully.
"Ah?"
Nagato's face was even more puzzled.
"You said that the trains were eliminated, isn't it that more convenient and economical means of transportation have appeared?"
Nagato frowned, looking strange.
"A more convenient means of transportation?"
Jiraiya finally reacted after hearing this, and he laughed and spoke.
The young man in front of him was indeed too naive, and he didn't know anything...
"The train route is fixed, and it is large, so it can be easily hijacked and destroyed by stray ninjas or hostile ninjas. Even if we arrange ninjas to guard each car, we can't completely protect it."
"Every time a train is attacked, it will cause a lot of casualties and losses. In the end, no civilians are willing to ride it. The daimyo saw that they couldn't make money and had to pay a large amount of money every year to maintain the railway, so they had no choice but to stop."
Nagato: "?"
Nagato never thought that something as beneficial to the country and the people as the train would be eliminated, and the reason was just because it was easy to be hijacked and destroyed.
What kind of logic is this?
Did they just give up using this means of transportation because they were afraid of sabotage?
Nagato couldn't help feeling sad. Didn't anyone think about solving these unstable factors once and for all?
Looking at the ordinary people wandering on the road, Nagato's heart was full of sympathy.
They couldn't survive in their hometowns and could only wander around.
In this chaotic world, what else can they do besides becoming robbers or bandits?
Nagato realized that the problems in this world are all-round, from politics, economy to social structure, there are serious flaws in all aspects.
Nagato cast his eyes on Jiraiya, who was still smiling, and a feeling of disgust surged in his heart.
Jiraiya kept saying that this world is veryOkay, but whether in reality or in his words, Nagato could not see any good things.
The two of them went forward all the way, and arrived at the capital of the Land of Fire in just half a day.
This made Nagato look up to Jiraiya. Jiraiya's heart was not beating and his face was not red. He did not rest once during such a long time of running.
"This guy's physical skills are so strong... No matter how fast I run, he can always follow me closely..."
Nagato didn't know that Jiraiya was even more shocked.
"We must not become the opposite of them unless necessary! Even if we become, we must not let Konoha go to explore their strengths and weaknesses first!"
Jiraiya made up his mind.
"Is this the capital of the Land of Fire?"
Standing on a huge palace, Nagato had a blank expression.
At this moment, a religious dance was being held here, and the people below were very lively.
The nobles below were singing and dancing, but the common people were like zombies.
Compared with the sluggish appearance in the empire, this place was even worse.
However, the faces of the nobles were filled with joy and excitement.
"How is it? Compared to your empire, is our place more lively and prosperous?"
Nagato nodded as he watched a civilian below accidentally fall down while holding a fruit plate, and the fruit was scattered all over the ground. A noble young master kicked and kicked him, and almost drew the samurai sword next to him to chop him.
"It is indeed more lively."
Jiraiya obviously didn't notice these, he smiled heartlessly at the dancers who were wearing little clothes below.
Nagato watched another dancer hurriedly retreat after the performance, but didn't want to be stopped by a bald man with a big belly.
The dancer struggled, and the bald fat guy laughed and hugged her into his arms, and then walked towards a room behind a curtain.
Along the way, he also called a few people who were similar to him, and it seemed that they were either friends or brothers.
Jiraiya seemed to be accustomed to it. In his opinion, these people had security guarantees and high incomes, which was already very happy.
Facing those scenes, he glanced over them without paying too much attention.
"These are the daimyo of our Land of Fire, and our Hokage is basically appointed by them."
Jiraiya looked at Nagato in a daze, and he explained.
"Senior, who do you think is the most enjoyable person in our empire?"
Faced with the question suddenly raised by Nagato, Jiraiya was slightly stunned.
"The most enjoyable person?"
He glanced at the daimyo below.
The one with the highest power, the most wealth, and the strongest strength.
There is no doubt that it is their emperor!
"Then there is no need to ask, it must be your emperor, right?"
In Jiraiya's eyes, their emperor must be a party every night and never take care of things, which makes the people below resentful.
Didn't you see how Nagato looked when he just came?
Nagato nodded.
"Indeed, the person who enjoys life the most in our empire is our Emperor Senju."
"When we usually deal with it, we just eat a bite of Bingliangwan. When we have time, we go outside the university town to buy some takeout, and occasionally we can eat a freshly made ramen or steaming hot barbecue."
"Only our emperor specially selects talented people from the country to be his personal chef. He has at least four dishes and one soup for every meal, and the cooking method is extremely complicated. For this, he even wastes several people!"
Listening to Nagato's words, Jiraiya's face showed doubt.
He glanced down, even the lowest-ranking daimyo sitting at the bottom was surrounded by beautiful women, and even the maids and servants who served tea and water started at four.
Is it too much for an emperor who controls the entire ninja world to waste a few people to cook?
"And in addition, he promotes monogamy, but he has three wives!"
Jiraiya's face immediately showed envy when he heard this, and then he was even more confused.
"Ah?"
Not to mention the 3,000 beauties in the harem, at least 300 would be worthy of his status!
Why only three?
"Even with this, countless old people in our empire still criticize the emperor, saying that he is too licentious and blinded by lust."
