The noisy civilians outside made the Daimyo of Wave Country very upset.

He couldn't understand what these civilians were arguing about there. You must know that he is the daimyo of the country of waves and the ruler of the country of waves. All this land belongs to him. In his opinion, he lent the land to

Farming by this group of civilians is already a very merciful thing to do.

Turns out the group wanted more.

This made the Daimyo of Wave Country very confused as to why some civilians became so angry after sealing up the worker-citizen cooperatives run by the Country of Demons.

Although it caused a lot of turmoil, the Daimyo of Wave Country, who holds the leading power, will not be afraid of such a meaningless riot.

What kind of combat effectiveness can a group of civilians holding farm tools have?

Sending a well-equipped army of soldiers there would be enough to suppress it.

However, thinking about the signal from the Country of Fire, it seemed that he was intended to calm the people's rebellious mood and not give the Country of Ghosts any opportunity to take advantage of him.

In response to this, he also ordered that some granaries be opened and distributed free of charge to the people under his rule.

As a result, I got free food... and came back to cause trouble.

This makes the daimyo of the Land of Waves very embarrassed.

"Why are these untouchables coming here to cause trouble again? Didn't I order the granary to be opened in the morning?"

The Daimyo of Wave Country was very unhappy with the result of the common people coming to make trouble.

But the Fire Nation was a being he couldn't afford to offend, so he had no choice but to follow the order.

Anyway, as long as some free food is distributed and some small favors are given, the resistance of this group of civilians will soon subside.

But this result seemed a little different from what he imagined.

The attendant who was summoned glanced at the Daimyo of Wave Country, hesitated, and quickly lowered his head.

"What's going on? If you don't say anything, your head will be ready to move."

When the Daimyo of Wave Country saw the evasive gaze of his attendant, his face immediately became serious.

After saying this, the waiter trembled and then said tremblingly:

"Your Excellency Daimyo, the food distributed to the civilians outside is mixed with a lot of inedible stones to make up for it."

"Added stones? What's going on?"

The Daimyo of the Country of Waves looked slightly startled.

Soon, the Daimyo of Wave Country realized that although the order to distribute food was passed on, the power to handle this matter was left to subordinate officials.

Such a trivial matter was not worthy of his name personally coming forward, so it was naturally left to the relevant officials to handle.

And his subordinate officials are all nobles from the Kingdom of Waves.

It must be that after he opened the granary, a lot of it was secretly detained by the nobles, and then mixed with stones to make up for it, and distributed to the common people.

The Daimyo of the Country of Waves, who guessed the cause and effect, suddenly turned gloomy.

He was not angry because the nobles withheld food and abused the common people.

The reason why he was angry was because his subordinate officials secretly changed his decision-making without communicating with him, and violated his reputation.

"Call all the officials who are handling this matter over to me, and I will inquire about the situation personally."

The Daimyo of Wave Country gave this order.

"Then those people outside..."

"Let the soldiers blast away all these untouchables. Those who cannot be blasted away will be thrown into prison and locked up for ten days and a half, so that they will have a long memory!"

The daimyo of Wave Country looked fierce and decisive.

"yes."

The valet did not dare to neglect and left the room directly to convey the order from the Daimyo of Wave Country.

Soon after, the sounds of trouble outside did disappear, and the name of the country of Waves also relaxed, and it was finally quieter.

If these guys were allowed to continue making trouble, his nap would be a little restless.

About half an hour later, the attendant led several officials into the room where the daimyo was.

After bringing the officials here, the attendants voluntarily withdrew to make room.

The Daimyo of Wave Country sat there, holding the folding fan tightly in his hand, and glanced at the three officials with a cold expression.

"Why is it like this?"

The three officials knew what the Daimyo of Wave Country was referring to, because the impact of the workers' and farmers' cooperative incident had not been eliminated, and now that something like this happened again, it was obvious that a huge anger was brewing in the Daimyo's heart.

An official took the initiative to stand up and said respectfully to the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Waves: "Your Excellency, we are thinking about the future of the Kingdom of Waves."

The Daimyo of the Country of Waves frowned slightly, and did not speak rashly, but waited for the next step.

The official continued: "I would like to ask, Lord Daimyo, has he completely surrendered to the Country of Fire?"

The Daimyo of Wave Country narrowed his eyes and looked at these three officials. They were nobles from different families in Wave Country. They had a very close marriage relationship with each other and the Daimyo family he belonged to. They could be said to be vassals of the Daimyo family.

Nobles are considered to be close confidants.

"No, I have an equal partnership with the Fire Country Daimyo."

Not to mention the three officials in front of him, the Daimyo of Wave Country himself didn't believe this.

In terms of the name of the daimyo, he is equal to the daimyo of the Fire Country.

However, the national power of the Country of Fire and the Country of Waves are not equal.

This has also resulted in the Kingdom of Waves always being at an absolute disadvantage when facing the behemoth of the Kingdom of Fire.

However, in order to maintain the majesty of his daimyo, the daimyo of Wave Country had no choice but to say such words against his will.

"Then, we cannot completely act in accordance with the wishes of the Fire Country Daimyo."

The officials were upright and solemn, and their tone was firm.

"What do you mean by this?"

The Daimyo of Wave Country thought for a moment.

"Your Excellency Daimyo, I can say without politeness that the current situation in the Country of Waves is very bad. There is the Country of Fire in front of us and the Country of Ghosts in the back. And our Country of Waves is a weak country. If we are involved in this dispute, Waves will be

The country will surely be destroyed."

"However, according to the meaning of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, the Kingdom of Oni seems to intend to infiltrate the people of the Kingdom of Waves to disrupt the order of the Kingdom of Waves, in order to coerce the Daimyo and obey their orders."

The Daimyo of Wave Country expressed his worries.

"So, is there any actual action in the Kingdom of Ghosts?"

"Workers' cooperative..."

"But after the seizure, the Kingdom of Ghosts just argued with reason and did not bully the weak. Instead, it sent diplomats to negotiate."

the official said.

The Daimyo of Wave Country thought carefully and realized that this was really the case.

After sealing up the workers' cooperative run by the Shion Flower Merchant Association, the officials of the Kingdom of Ghosts only used peaceful diplomatic means to negotiate and gave considerable respect to the Kingdom of Waves, instead of directly dictating the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Waves like the Country of Fire did.

The Kingdom of Waves acts according to the arrangements of the Kingdom of Fire.

The Kingdom of Ghosts pursues international diplomatic equality, while the Kingdom of Fire uses its own powerful force to force the Kingdom of Waves to agree.

The diplomatic attitudes of the two are very different.

"So, all of this is probably a series of conspiracies carried out by the Kingdom of Fire against us, the Kingdom of Waves. Moreover, please think about it again, Daimyo-dono, is the Kingdom of Ghosts closer to us, or is the Kingdom of Fire closer to us?

If the two countries are at odds with each other, which one poses a greater threat to the country of Waves?"

The official started to persuade.

The Daimyo of the Country of Waves was silent in thought, and he also recognized these words in his heart.

"Your Excellency Daimyo, the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce industry in the Kingdom of Oni is spread all over the Ninja World. It is just their consistent business strategy to develop the market in the Kingdom of Waves. As for infiltrating the people to threaten the rule of the Daming Palace, it is obviously nonsense.

Because only by supporting you, Lord Daimyo, can the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce make more profits. Merchants are doing business, not charity."

"However, they have done a lot of charity to help benefit the people..."

"The profit will be higher if the pigs are fattened and then killed. The Kingdom of Ghosts does not want to drain the lake for fishing. In the commercial field, the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce obviously understands the principles of making money in a righteous way better than other chambers of commerce, and they have always done this. The most important point is,

We are too close to the Daimyos of the Land of Fire, and at the same time we have rejected most of the cooperation projects from the Kingdom of Ghosts. In other words, the only people the Shion Flower Merchant Association can win over in the Kingdom of Waves are the untouchables below."

Hearing this official's answer, the Daimyo of Wave Country suddenly felt enlightened.

Indeed.

The Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Ghosts has traveled thousands of miles to come to the Kingdom of Waves. It is obviously impossible to control the Kingdom of Waves from thousands of miles away. Therefore, doing business is the only goal of the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce.

The other party is a businessman and has an excellent reputation in the ninja world. He has never done anything like buying or selling by force. What he wants is win-win cooperation.

The Country of Waves did not give the other party this opportunity. Instead, it got mixed up with the Country of Fire. The Country of Ghosts, which had a very bad relationship with the Country of Fire, could only start with the people of the Country of Waves and slowly open up the Country of Waves.
