Even though Konoha has heavy taxes and many tax items, people flock here.

Because of safety.

The ninja world is not peaceful.

Rogue bandits, bandits, wandering ninjas, and downtrodden warriors are everywhere.

Even a ninja wouldn't like this kind of living environment, especially one who already has a family.

They can protect themselves, but what about their families?

Will he end up with his head and body missing when he goes out on a mission one day?

Besides, Konoha's taxes are heavy and there are many tax items. Isn't this phenomenon not happening outside?

A similar situation exists outside, and it is even more serious than Konoha!

Rich businessmen, nobles and vampires lie on the bodies of ordinary people and suck blood.

I can still save some money in Konoha and live a stable life.

Outside, in times of disaster or war, children are sold and their families are destroyed.

Therefore, in this world that has long been in decline, Konoha is truly a paradise on earth.

It is no lie that the happiness index ranks first among all ninja villages.

He is the general among the short ones.

Since everyone is competing against each other, why does Qianye bother with all this?

He only needs to maintain the status quo and indulge in this prosperous age.

Just like the Seventh Hokage and Uzumaki Naruto.

The reason why Qianye bothers with these things is very simple, he does not have this ambition.

How can we carry out Plan Forward 4 successfully when mixed with these insects?

If he hadn't come to power through a coup, if his goal hadn't been the stars and the sea, he would have copied the set of rules left behind by Hiruzen Sarutobi and continued to exploit everyone in the dark.

However, who made Qianye’s goal be the sea of ​​stars?

He desires to pursue stronger power, travel to different worlds, master more resources, and create an immortal life.

Since he is not planning to stay in the ninja world forever, the actual value of the money that only circulates in the Naruto world is very low to Qianye.

Is it possible that people in other worlds will still recognize the banknotes you issue in your home world?

The essence of money is credit!

After leaving this world, these banknotes will be just a pile of waste paper that is too hard to wipe your butt.

Instead of guarding this pile of waste paper like a miser, why not replace it with what you need!

He is not the 'saint' that everyone calls him. On the contrary, his selfish desires are greater than anyone else!

It's just that his pursuit is different from everyone else's pursuit.

No one except me cares too much about the initial purpose and the intermediate process.

What everyone values ​​more is the results.

The money spent was not wasted, it was returned to him in another way, the way Qianye needed.

And the group that followed him also gained money and power.

Everyone is happy.

Thus, under clever packaging, Qianye became the respected Fifth Generation Hokage.

As the saying goes, people in their position seek their responsibilities.

As the fifth generation Hokage of Konoha, Qianye can be said to be worried about the development of Konoha.

Well, Qianye just dislikes Konoha because its base is too small and its war potential is too weak.

A world war involving tens of thousands of people...

This always sounds like a village fight during the Warring States Period.

Limited by productivity, Qianye’s road to expansion is long and arduous.

The first thing to do is to enhance Konoha's war potential.

Population, land area, resources, energy, national financial resources, scientific and technological capabilities, industrial capabilities, transportation capabilities, national cultural level, etc.

Needless to say about the first five items, the Fire Nation occupies the most fertile land in the world and is the richest country.

But the prosperity of the Fire Country is not equal to the prosperity of Konoha.

While the daimyo relied on the force of ninjas, they were also very afraid of the force of ninjas.

He has been carefully restricting the development of the Ninja Village and imprisoning the Ninja's thoughts.

And this is also the consensus of the ruling class of all countries in the ninja world.

Therefore, for the Ninja Kingdom, the Ninja Village cannot be described as the shogunate of the Warring States Period.

They are more like military and political organizations without the nature of employment.

Qianye does not dare to absorb the population on a large scale for the time being, as that will arouse the vigilance of famous names all over the world.

What he is doing now is to recruit high-level talents.

Medicine, biology, culture, metallurgy, industry...

Covers all walks of life.

Even the leading talents in the custom industry are within the scope of wooing.

They are experts at spying on information.

This matter is left to the ‘Crow’ Department to complete.

Some talents who have done unsatisfactorily in their own countries have been poached.

The process went smoothly and didn't cost much.

Because Konoha, ruled by Qianye, won the Fourth Ninja War.

The impact of the victory in the fourth war was in all aspects.

Anyone who is not a fool can see a bright future for Konoha.

Anyway, they don't have much loyalty or nostalgia for their country.

Patriotism and nationalism have not yet awakened, and the atmosphere is very similar to that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in our country.

With talents from all walks of life, other talents can be developed.

There are currently only two industries in Konoha.

The third industry is the service industry and ninja industry.

The former is dominated by the latter.

They serve ninjas and their families.

Without the high-income and high-consuming group of ninjas, ordinary residents of Konoha would have to starve to death.

As for ninja-related industries such as ninja tool shops...

They are also in the service industry by nature.

Because these stores are only responsible for selling products rather than producing them.

And there is a serious monopoly phenomenon.

This makes Qianye very angry!

Take the ninja tool industry, which is closely related to ninjas, as an example. The monopoly elements in this industry are very complex.

On the surface, there is no connection between these chambers of commerce, and the bosses behind them are all noble and wealthy businessmen from the Fire Country.

In fact, they are a whole, and Sarutobi and the Shimura clan hold a lot of shares in it, and they can get large dividends every year.

The Shimura clan's dividends were used by Danzo to protect Konoha.

The dividends from the Sarutobi clan were used by Hiruzen Sarutobi to develop the family.

Of course, Koharu and Mito Menyan can also benefit from this.

If Qianye hadn't confiscated his family, exterminated his family, and found a large number of account books, he wouldn't have known what was going on.

The strategic materials stored in Konoha are all purchased by the Sarutobi regime, and the top and bottom eat the money.

Above, naturally it refers to the famous name.

The daimyo makes large financial allocations to Konoha every year.

One of the major expenditures is the procurement and reserve of strategic materials.

As we all know, the arms business is the most profitable.

There are only a few people in the Country of Fire who can become arms dealers.

The people standing behind them were all, without exception, the top nobles of the Fire Country.

For this circle, political marriage is very common.

Over time, everyone has me among you, and you among me.

Differences in interests certainly exist, but as they are related by blood, these differences will not escalate into irreconcilable conflicts.
To be continued...
