Chapter 89 Humans and Tailed Beasts(1/2)
The civil strife in the Land of Snow completely subsided overnight.
Of course, for a small and remote country like Snow Country, if they didn't pay special attention to it, the five major countries would hardly take any action.
Although the Snow Country is a country with ninjas, its combat power is weak. It is completely different in nature from the Country of Grass and the Country of Rain, which are small countries that can establish ninja villages.
Generally speaking, the internal chaos in the Snow Country did not cause an imbalance to the stable situation of the big country. It did not even have any impact at all. When Xiaoxue inherited the name of the Snow Country, he only sent a symbolic letter to congratulate him. Other than that,
Otherwise, there are no other actions.
In the ninja world, the five major countries have a transcendent status, occupying the vastest land, the richest population, and the most powerful military power in the ninja world. Any small country competing with the five major countries is like a mantis trying to control the chariot.
Shiraishi had already anticipated this situation. The power of the Ghost Country was completely dormant and entered the Snow Country. Koyuki, who defeated the wind and waves, was also the legal heir of the Snow Country. In the eyes of outsiders, it was just the power of the Snow Country.
It's just an alternation. Based on this situation, they have no excuse to attack the Kingdom of Snow or make any articles on it.
Post-war recovery is now the main task within a major country.
"I didn't expect that the treasure His Highness Zaoyuki left behind was actually a heater. I thought His Highness Zaoyuki really left some important treasure."
In the palace deep inside the castle, the third wife sighed for a while.
The internal turmoil in the Kingdom of Snow is over. Next, we need to calm the panic of the people. Those snow ninjas who were defeated do not necessarily have to be killed. Most of the snow ninjas were forced by the raging waves of the wind and flowers. Photographed by Fenghua
The power of the angry waves has no choice but to help the tiger.
Naturally, all of these low-level snow ninjas must be accepted to serve the construction of the Land of Snow.
Shiraishi is very good at this aspect, and the development plan has been drawn up long before the attack on the Snow Country.
"No, San Taifu, the heater left by my father is indeed a treasure to me. Because he promised me in the past that he wanted me to see the arrival of spring in the Land of Snow. I couldn't understand it in the past, but now I finally
I understand a little bit."
Xiaoxue sat on the throne belonging to the Daimyo of Snow Country with a solemn attitude.
The third wife was just confused for a moment and said nothing.
For Xiaoxue, the new Daimyo of the Land of Snow, it was indeed a treasure worth collecting, but for the dead Fenghua Furaotao, it was just a pure joke.
"So, in order to let more people see the spring in the Land of Snow, I plan to turn the ice lake where the rainbow ice wall is located into a national tourist attraction to attract tourists from all over the world. What do you think, Santafu?"
Xiaoxue said this.
The third husband nodded and replied: "This is indeed a good idea, but now we need to restore people's livelihood as soon as possible, which will cost a lot of money. I'm afraid we can't implement the plan to build a tourist attraction immediately."
"This is not a problem. My father will invest 10 billion taels in the Kingdom of Snow in the early stage. The remaining work is to recruit skilled craftsmen in the country."
Ten billion taels? Or a preliminary investment? Even as a third official, he couldn't help but be surprised by the huge financial resources of the Ghost Country.
"If that's the case, then there will be no problem. With these 10 billion taels of start-up capital, we can not only build the Rainbow Ice Wall into a tourist attraction, but also strengthen the armaments of the Snow Kingdom."
Due to the often turbulent events, San Taifu seriously realized how important it was to establish a ninja force.
If his master, Fenghua Zaoyue, had been able to squeeze out excess funds to develop his own army and train more ninjas, he would not have dared to act rashly even if Fenghua Routao had second thoughts.
In the past, the Kingdom of Snow had the attitude of being content with being rich, but now it seems that the pressure that will be faced in the future by being bound to the Kingdom of Ghosts will be far heavier than the pressure caused by the rebellion of Feng Hua Raging Tao.
The fact that the Minister of Military Affairs of the Demon Country is an S-class rebel ninja from Konoha is enough to trigger a huge international storm in the ninja world.
As an alliance country, the Kingdom of Snow will naturally not be able to escape the blame and will be criticized by all countries.
It's just that things are settled now. Let's not talk about the relationship between Xiaoxue and Shiraishi. If the Snow Kingdom wants to become strong and rich, it can only rely on the secret funding of the Ghost Kingdom.
Fortunately, Shiraishi helped them regain the power of Snow Country and did not interfere too much with the regime of Snow Country, so that Koyuki would not become a puppet daimyo.
If something like this happens, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the third wife.
After finally tripping over the wind and waves, if more ferocious beasts were introduced, there would be no place to cry.
"That's right. My father asked me to find a hidden territory in the Country of Snow as soon as possible, set up a research institute and weapons factory, and step up the research and mass production of chakra armor. When the research institute and weapons factory are completed, the Ghost
There will be a second batch of funds coming from China."
After listening to Xiaoxue's narration, the third wife had a more intuitive feeling about the wealth and wealth of the Kingdom of Ghosts.
Having a powerful ally like the Country of Ghosts is not entirely bad for the Country of Snow.

Shiraishi stayed in the Snow Country for a month in total before finally leaving.
He stayed in the Snow Country for a month, mainly to obtain the military power of the Snow Country.
The military force of the Snow Kingdom, like the Kingdom of Demons, is composed of ordinary soldiers and snow ninjas who know how to use chakra.
Of the Snow Ninjas who participated in the resistance that night, some of the main militant factions were eliminated, and some were being imprisoned in cells for transformation. The remaining Snow Ninjas who surrendered, about a hundred or so, were officially incorporated into the military system of Snow Country by Shiraishi.
middle.
This is something that he and his adoptive daughter Xiaoxue have already planned. He only needs to take charge of the military power of the country of snow. For other matters, he will only make suggestions. In the end, Xiaoxue, the new daimyo, will make the final decision.
For Shiraishi, it is enough to become the Minister of Military Affairs of the Snow Country and control the military. Koyuki is still young, but he has the third wife to assist him, so there is no big problem in managing the Snow Country.
The transformation of the Land of Snow cannot be completed in a day or two.
The first is military unification, and then the army is deployed to dredge all roads in the Land of Snow and strengthen the connection with the Land of Ghosts.
As for future merger matters, that has to be discussed separately.
In short, with the lessons learned from the Kingdom of Ghosts, Shiraishi is more comfortable with the restructuring plan of the Kingdom of Snow.
The most important thing is that Feng Hua Furu Tao gave him a good starting point during his reign.
Because Feng Hua Furao was not in the right position, during his tenure as the Daimyo of the Snow Country, he used cruel methods to eradicate the aristocratic forces that opposed him within the Snow Country, greatly weakening the aristocratic group in the Snow Country.
It is no longer the same as it used to be, and it has reduced the difficulty of Shiraishi’s transformation of the Land of Snow.
Therefore, Shiraishi sincerely hopes that these nobles can be more honest and responsible, otherwise he would not mind a more ruthless purge in the Snow Country to let them understand what their current position is.
These remnants of vested interests from the old era, if the wind and waves had not purged them internally, Xiaoxue's rise to the position of Daimyo of Snow Country might not have gone as smoothly as expected, and they would have definitely blocked it and demanded more power.
Shiraishi can strategically despise these aristocratic groups, but tactically pay special attention to them.
In a traditional country like the Land of Snow, it is not uncommon for a daimyo to become a puppet brought to the fore by an aristocratic group.
To prevent these aristocratic forces from counterattacking, it is also necessary to send ninjas to monitor their every move.
On the way back, only half of the ninjas who came with Shiraishi and Ayane returned, and the other half were stationed in the country of snow to manage the surrendered snow ninjas to prevent those surrendered snow ninjas from causing any trouble.
In addition, there is the important task of protecting Xiaoxue's personal safety, monitoring some secretly evil nobles in the Kingdom of Snow, and taking precautions before they happen.
"The Kingdom of Snow is over, and what's left is the Kingdom of Bears and the Kingdom of Netherworld."
Shiraishi will regularly send people over to monitor the Snow Country’s development plan to prevent any oversights.
If there were no powerful external forces at the level of the five major countries to intervene, things in the Kingdom of Snow could be said to be a sure thing.
The remaining plan Shiraishi wants to implement is to take over the Yu Country and the Bear Country in the south.
These two countries will become the best springboard for the Kingdom of Ghosts to attack the Kingdom of Wind.
"But it won't be easy for these two countries to win over them."
Ayane thought about her answer.
They were able to win the Snow Country this time because there was chaos within the Snow Country. In addition, they immediately attracted Xiaoxue, the orthodox heir of the Snow Country. The only resistance was the wind, flowers and raging waves, which allowed them to take advantage of it.
machine.
But the country of You is different from the country of bears. For now, there is no suitable excuse to intervene.
"There should be much less resistance to incorporating the Kingdom of You."
Shiraishi said this.
"oh?"
"The Kingdom of Netherworld was a country hit hard by monsters in the past. It showed goodwill to the miko of the Kingdom of Demons more than once, hoping to merge the Kingdom of Netherworld into the Kingdom of Demons. However, the previous generations of miko of the Kingdom of Demons all refused."
When Bai Shi said this, his expression became strange.
"Refused?"
Ayane was surprised.
"If the information I collected is not wrong, it is indeed true."
"I really don't understand why I turned down such a good opportunity."
This is really incomprehensible to Ayane.
If this kind of thing happened to the five major countries, I would probably wake up laughing in my dreams.
This is obtained for free, and you can obtain a huge territory and population without spending a penny.
"I think the past generations of shrine maidens in the Kingdom of Demons find it troublesome. They don't like to participate in secular disputes, or they have no interest in participating. Their mission in the world is to destroy evil monsters for mankind. If they are forced to
Giving them other missions will cause resentment."
Shiraishi clearly remembered that Maitreya said that shrine maidens have a special meaning to human beings.
Compared with managing the country, the shrine maidens of the Ghost Kingdom obviously pay more attention to the practice itself.
It gave people the feeling that he was being carried to the fire rack by everyone, and he was forced to nod his head and become the "god" of the country.
"So, the Kingdom of You can be captured quickly, right?"
"In more than a month, after Maitreya Maiden gives birth successfully, I will go and ask to find out what is going on and see how she plans to deal with the matter of the Kingdom of Yu. But compared to the Kingdom of Yu, this is the most difficult thing to handle.
