Uchiha's opinion

The foundation of the Ninja world's financial order lies in the gold standard.

But there is still a relatively absurd phenomenon in the ninja world, that is, the banknotes discovered in small countries often reserve the corresponding equivalent amount of money in a regular manner.

This is also because small countries have limited resources and inactive commodity exchanges, so wealthy businessmen who walk in the ninja world only use small country banknotes as vouchers for daily transactions. Will choose to keep the banknotes of small countries in their hands as reserve currencies.

After everyone does not use their national currency as a reserve currency, naturally those small countries that issue banknotes either reserve enough gold to be exchanged at any time, or the banknotes of the big countries erode their share of banknotes due to insufficient issuance.

The banknotes issued by the big countries are not only the gold exchange certificates under the gold standard system, but also the legal currency that contains the authority of the big countries. Hoarding in the hands of wealthy merchants; coupled with the prevalence of the black market, a large amount of funds flowed into the black market and accumulated, and in order to make up for the deficit during the ninja war, the daimyo would often secretly issue some additional banknotes to offset expenditures...

After a long time, the banknotes issued by big countries naturally far exceeded the gold reserves in the treasury.

Especially the country of water, it is a mess.

But in the past, because the banknotes of a big country were endorsed by the country's reputation, even if the wealthy businessmen of other countries knew that the banknotes of a certain big country were overissued, they didn't care, because the banknotes in their hands could still be spent through commodity purchases and other channels. .

But Tokumitsu Uchiha's attack on the financial system of the country of water broke this economic cycle.

The gold-dollar coupons of the Tokuko Shogunate were rampant in the Land of Water, eroding part of the banknote circulation share; coupled with the collective bankruptcy of a large number of small merchants under the persecution of the landless nobles, the circulation of banknotes in the Land of Water has become difficult.

And the high payment of 10 billion in Daming Mansion set off a frenzy of running in the Land of Water in one breath.

Especially when the guardians of various counties and cities began to restrict the exchange of banknotes by the people of the country in order to protect their own property, the already tense nerves of the people of the country of water finally began to burst.

Under the incitement of the shogunate spies who had already been lurking in the water country, an extremely large-scale "money riot" was set off in the water country.

"The officials and nobles ignored our life and death, not only extorted and plundered wantonly, but also took away our last penny!"

Teams of shogunate spies disguised as ronin, took the opportunity to intercept and kill the noble convoys full of gold sentences in various parts of the country of water, and after making extremely inflammatory remarks, distributed the gold sentences to the gathered water on the spot. country people.

"We will wage war on those greedy nobles and take back our shops, fields and homes!"

Afterwards, the spies lurking in the crowd raised their arms and yelled, and took advantage of the opportunity to engulf a large group of people from the Kingdom of Water who had been instigated with fanaticism, and headed towards the county to kill.

All of a sudden, there were endless civil turmoil in the land of water.

At this time, the second batch of the shogunate fleet arrived in Kinki, Daimyo Prefecture.

"To honor the 20 billion taels of gold sentence!"

The aristocratic officials who were in charge of the affairs of the Gold Bank came in a hurry, and when they heard Hinata Shuhiro's words, they felt the world turned upside down and almost fainted.

"Dare to ask this ninja-sama of the Hinata family, why did he pay so many gold sentences at once..."

The noble official quickly asked: "The banknotes of this country are the legal currency that can be freely circulated among the major countries in the ninja world, so there is no need to pay so frequently..."

"This is the order of Lord Deguang, we have no right to question it!"

Hinata Xiuhong said expressionlessly: "Please pay quickly, and don't waste the time of Lord Deguang!"

"I also had a relationship with the elders of the clan of your family, please..."

The nobleman tried to continue his defense in vain.

But as soon as he mentioned the Zong family, Hinata Xiuhong's already indifferent face suddenly became gloomy, almost dripping water.

"Stop talking about these useless things! The 20 billion gold sentence must be paid in full, otherwise..."

Hinata Xiuhong said sadly: "It is estimated that His Royal Highness Daimyo will go to Kitakura to inspect the place again at that time!"

...

"Two billion taels!"

In the daimyo's palace, a group of ministers and nobles once again stood around dumbfounded.

The livid daimyo's chest rose and fell, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.

"...The six counties in the east have all fallen into turmoil. Do you have any opinions on this matter?"

After a long while, the daimyo said coldly: "There are also gold judgments from various companies... how much is there?"

All the ministers bowed their heads in silence.

At this time, speaking is like being beaten in the first place, and they are naturally more inclined to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"The local reserve of 15 billion taels of gold is now exhausted..."

The daimyo let out a "giggle" sneer laugh: "I don't know whether it's the wealth of the ministers or the people of the land of water who have billions of dollars..."

The officials and nobles remained silent.

"...You are the noble official in charge of the Gold Bank, why don't you find a reason to explain yourself?"

The daimyo turned his attention to the noble officials kneeling on the ground.

"His Royal Highness... It is said that there are shogunate personnel from all over the country to carry out a concentrated run, which is why..."

The noble official replied tremblingly.

"Then how much money will the shogunate pay in the local area?"

The daimyo gritted his teeth and asked.

"..."

The noble official was silent.

"Five billion taels, right?"

The daimyo sneered twice, "And what about 10 billion?"

The hall was still dead silent.

"... Great Cangxiang."

After a long time, the daimyo said quietly: "Allow 30 billion taels from the national treasury for payment!"

"Obey!"

The Prime Minister Dazang, who had suffered a loss once, did not dare to continue talking, and immediately knelt down and accepted the order.

"...The extra 10 billion is used to calm the hearts of the people. I hope that the ministers will not interfere."

The daimyo said coldly: "Otherwise, before the shogunate ninja army arrives, your family's properties in various places will be completely destroyed by the rioters!"

After speaking, the daimyo waved his sleeves and returned to the apse.

...

But how could Tokumitsu Uchiha let the riots in the country of water be quelled like this.

It's not just the payment of the gold sentence. After the riots, there was a shortage of supplies among various counties and cities.

As the shogunate merchants withdrew again, the commodity circulation in the country of water was paralyzed. No matter whether they had money or not, ordinary people could not buy the supplies they wanted!

As a result, when the daimyo's treasury gold judgment was transported to the treasuries of various counties and cities, the riots not only did not subside, but intensified.

At this time, there is no need for the shogunate spies to continue to fan the flames.

The citizens of the Land of Water who had already rioted had figured out the "conspiracy of the nobles" by themselves.

"What?! The gold cart that His Royal Highness transported to the county is empty?!"

"What?! The grain depot in the county city has been exhausted?!"

"What?! The money and food were taken away by the nobles?!"

The "money riots" in the county towns had just subsided, and the "rice riots" in the countryside followed one after another.

All kinds of rumors that are difficult to distinguish between true and false are spreading all over the country of water, spreading wantonly, and losing credibility. The local guardians have tried their best to maintain the most basic order in the county, and they are unable to refute the rumors and calm the riots in the countryside. .

And just after the 20 billion gold judgment was paid, the 10 billion allocated by the daimyo did not last for a few days before being sold out by the crazy people of the water country, and the riots intensified after the gold banks in various counties were empty.

Afterwards, thieves broke out everywhere, cut off the traffic, captured the manor and caused massacres.

...

"Your Highness, the matter is over now, please dispatch the Ninja Army!"

In the daimyo's palace, the Minister of Taizheng suggested to the daimyo.

"Kigakure's soldiers are hanging outside, and the shogunate is threatening... If the Ninja Army is dispatched at this time..."

Minister Minbu saw that Daimyo's face was still indifferent, so he asked.

"When you stop and stop, you will be subject to chaos!"

The Minister of Taizheng shouted: "If you sit back and watch the situation continue like this, the country's overthrow may only happen overnight! At that time, it will be too late to regret!"

All the ministers also nodded in agreement, deeply agreeing.

In the language habits of the country of water and even the nobles of various big countries, the so-called "dispatching the ninja army" is to call ninjas to various places to quell the chaos by force.

This is also the last trump card of the ninja nobles.

When the turmoil of the mudlegs cannot be quelled by samurai and government troops, the ninja troops mobilized from Ninja Village will set off a bloody storm like a razor, and wipe out all the sources of turmoil.

However, the killings caused by this may cause the population of a country to be reduced by more than half in a very short period of time.

But this has nothing to do with the nobles.

After all, in their eyes, mudlegs are like weeds with the most vigorous vitality. Under the water of blood, it only takes about ten years to grow into more obedient and obedient citizens again.

"Your Highness, the Kirigakure Ninja Army can no longer stay in the Land of Thunder!"

Konoe Atsuji stepped forward at the right time and said: "Of course the domestic turmoil needs to be quelled, but the threat from the shogunate is also imminent. All ninja troops must be recalled as soon as possible to defend against the shogunate invasion!"

At this moment, the shogunate still had three ironclad warships stranded off the coast of Kinki, Daming Prefecture, which made all the ministers terrified.

"What Du Siqing said is reasonable, so I'll take the trouble for you to take a trip."

The daimyo said softly.

As for what the Taizheng Minister said, he did not respond directly, but took out a seal and put it on the table in front of him.

Seeing this, all the ministers also breathed a sigh of relief.

The daimyo ruled all the people divinely, so naturally they would not issue orders to kill their own people.

But if the ministers act on their own, sometimes the daimyo may not be able to control it.

Of course, this is also the tacit understanding between the daimyo and the minister.

The Taizheng Minister will take away the seal on the table after the hall and issue a task of calming the chaos to Ninja Village, and the daimyo will appropriately express shock after the head of the water country rolls up and down and punish the Taizheng Minister who committed the killing Deal with it, and then the matter will be punished with three cups and it will be over.

"Your Highness! Something is wrong!"

Jin Xinggui, the most hated daimyo, stumbled in again.

"Why are you so out of control!"

The Minister of the Interior immediately reprimanded loudly.

"Your Highness..."

Official Jin Xing swallowed his saliva, and said tremblingly: "The shogunate, the battleship of the shogunate is here again..."

All the ministers and nobles looked at each other, daimyo's face was as dark as the bottom of an old pot.

"...you want to pay the fine again?"

Da Zangxiang pressed his chest and said with difficulty.

"Yes, it is……"

The noble official Jin Xing replied in a low voice: "This time it's 50 billion taels..."

"...Great Cangxiang, you can figure it out!"

The daimyo waved his sleeves and left the table after saying a word.

Da Zangxiang bowed far away with a wry smile.

The Taizheng Minister quickly stepped forward to pick up the seal of the daimyo "falling down".

"My lords, this is the end of the matter, I don't need to be merciful anymore..."

The Minister of the Taizheng said to all the ministers and nobles: "If there is no objection, then the ninja army will be dispatched!"

"Exactly what you said!"

"Seconded!"

All the ministers nodded in agreement.

"Du Siqing, then I trouble you to quickly go to the front line of the Kingdom of Thunder..."

The Minister of the Taizheng said to Konoe Atsuji: "The ninja soldiers stationed in the Daimyofu and Kirigakure are still not enough to resist the invasion of the shogunate while suppressing the chaos in the whole country. Please let Mizukage-dono speed up the withdrawal of troops and come back for help!"

"Follow orders!"

Konoe Atsushi bowed and saluted the Taizheng Minister holding the seal.
