Konoha Bookstore Okichi raised his head, saw Haruki, and couldn't help but say.
"What's the matter?"
"According to your instructions, our Konoha Bookstore is expanding to the outside of Konoha. Due to the reputation of you and the Sannin-sama, it is almost unimpeded. So far, it is considered one of the top ten bookstores in the Land of Fire."
"Isn't this nice?"
"But not long ago, the Daimyo sent people to negotiate with us, believing that we should pay taxes in accordance with the laws of the Land of Fire."
"Tax payment?" Qingshu was slightly startled.
"Well, we used to pay taxes in Konoha according to Konoha's regulations. However, Konoha's tax collection is very arbitrary. After all, we rely on the assistance of the Country of Fire. In addition, we did not consider these in the early days of building the village, not to mention you are in charge of the economy now.
Secretary Hokage, naturally no one dares to say anything. But the Fire Country..."
Omuzhi couldn't help but shake his head, "Not only are there a lot of taxes, but the types are extremely complicated. With each coming and going, our income will be reduced by at least half."
Qingshu also frowned.
It is indeed an ancient neon from the feudal era.
If he remembered correctly, farmers were even more miserable. For example, for an annual output of 100 dan, they would have to pay 60 dan.
Except for nobles and warriors, white rice was almost unaffordable to everyone else.
"They just see that our Konoha Bookstore makes too much money and can't help but be jealous."
Haruki snorted coldly, but then he thought of something and asked, "Does the daimyo have the so-called twelve guardian ninjas now?"
"Yes." Damuzhi nodded first, and then asked in a low voice, "Do you want to kill the daimyo?"
"What are you thinking?" Qingshu couldn't help laughing, "You, a thick-browed and big-eyed person, have such rebellious thoughts?"
"Hehe, if you follow the adults and do things, you will naturally have more courage." Damuzhi scratched his head and said.
Since he could be sent here, he must have received special education and knew Haruki's goals.
"Not at this time." Qingshu shook his head and said, "Tell him that I will take time to visit the daimyo to discuss the matter."
"Okay." Damuzhi was a little disappointed, but didn't say anything.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Haruki took out a book from the storage scroll and handed it to Da Mu Zhi, "This is the manga to be published next."
"Comic?" Ogichi turned a few pages, "Slam Dunk Master? What is basketball?"
"A new kind of confrontational entertainment."
Haruki received the system reward from dreaming about playing basketball with Tsunade some time ago. He plans to promote basketball as an entertainment method.
Entertainment in Konoha is really lacking.
Jiraiya, who can be called a big player, does nothing more than novels, hot springs, girls, and drinking.
"As the saying goes, there is no separation between culture and sports. From now on, Konoha Bookstore will also sell basketballs and make basketball hoops and basketball courts."
Haruki asked, "Study the comics carefully, familiarize yourself with the rules, and train a few referees. We will be the first to have a basketball game at the ninja school. We will invite all the students' parents and Hokage-sama, and you will become famous instantly."
"OK."
After several manipulations of public opinion, Damuzhi also understood a lot.
Naruto took the lead, promoted it from children, and cooperated with comics and "Konoha Daily News". He was sure that basketball would rise in Konoha.
And once successful, as the only supplier, money is inevitable.
After leaving Konoha Bookstore, Haruki came to the research building of the Ninja School.
He hadn't seen Orochimaru for a long time, but considering that guy's character, he didn't go looking for him.
Qingshu came to the fireworks research group under the science group.
Fireworks, or gunpowder, are simply an indispensable weapon for time travel.
But unfortunately, he could not accomplish this achievement of a time traveler.
Because there are fireworks in Naruto.
In the original work, there were summer festivals and fireworks displays.
Although there are no manufacturing steps, Qingshu naturally knows the power of gunpowder.
It's not as good as those cheating guys, but it's not a problem to deal with genin and chunin. Even if you're not careful, jounin will suffer.
After all, the physical fitness of ninjas is not good enough to be invulnerable.
Since kunai shuriken can hurt people, gunpowder can certainly do it.
Sir, times have changed.
But there is a long way to go before we can transform fireworks into highly lethal firearms.
One of the very important reasons is that he has no relevant knowledge.
After all, high schools don't teach how to make firearms.
In comparison, he felt that the detonating chakra gun would be successfully researched faster.
"Master Haruki, are you here today to check on the progress of gunpowder research?"
The person in charge of this project is called Minato Yoshio. He was originally a fireworks dealer in Konoha. He was recruited by Haruki and became an arms dealer.
But because the price is right, he is very hardworking.
"No." Qingshu took out another scroll, "Put aside your research for the time being and return to your old profession."
"Fireworks?" Minato Yoshio looked at the contents of the scroll and couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes, "They are all love words. Which girl do you want to pursue? Don't worry, I won't tell Tsunade-sama."
"Don't talk nonsense." Qingshu patted him on the shoulder, "It's not easy to make text patterns appear on fireworks."
"Promise to complete the mission!" Minato Yoshio raised his right hand in salute.
"I told you not to use this kind of etiquette for the time being."
"I couldn't help it." Minato Yoshio smiled sheepishly.
"Get it done before August 2nd, otherwise, the consequences will not be pretty."
Haruki left the institute after leaving a warning.
Class A, first grade.
After Haruki entered the door, he saw Uchiha Obito.
There is a cute white cat beside him, which looks a bit like a ragdoll cat from his previous life.
At this time, Obito was smiling as he watched Nohara Rin pet the kitten.
In a sense, pets also help in falling in love.
"There is drool at the corner of your mouth."
"Ah?" Obito wiped his mouth subconsciously, "Where is it? Your...teacher?"
Nohara Rin also immediately raised her head to say hello.
"Where's Kakashi?" Haruki rarely saw Kakashi not with the two of them.
"It seems that he was asked away by his father, right?" Obito did not hesitate to sell his good friend, "He sometimes uses his clone to skip class."
"If you are in the top three in each subject, you can also use your clone to skip class." Qingshu raised his eyebrows and said, "I can even take you to extracurricular practice."
