The person who answered Naruto's words was Shizune.
"Naruto-kun, no matter what kind of project you are doing, of course you have to spend a lot of money to hire people to do it." Shizune said: "If there is no money, who is willing to do it?"
In fact, Naruto had no intention of relying on ordinary people to carry out infrastructure construction, as that would be too slow.
What is the most advanced productivity in the ninja world? Of course it is chakra!
Let those who can use fire escape make steel, let those who can use earth escape build roads, and let those who can use water escape make clouds and rain. This is the right way!
Why did he study so hard on the art of reincarnation? Isn't it just for today? You know, ninjas are also human beings, they also need to rest, and there will be times when they run out of chakra. And these, for the ninjas who have been reincarnated in the dirty earth,
It’s all nothing!
Rest? The filthy earth body will not be tired; exhausted chakra? Sorry, infinite chakra to find out.
This kind of labor force that can work around the clock regardless of wind or rain, thunder or hail, capitalists will cry when they hear it, and slave owners will bow down when they see it.
It would be unsightly to take them to beat and kill them!
Of course, you definitely can't say that. Otherwise, you, a great good man, might be mistaken for an absolutely evil person by some people who don't know the truth.
He has his own set of high-sounding and convincing remarks: "Do you know Sunagakure's puppetry technique?"
"We can completely let the ninjas practice puppetry and use the puppets to do a lot of work." Naruto said: "In this way, we only need to pay one ninja, but we can harvest several times more labor.
"
Shizune raised another question: "But if this is the case, wouldn't a large number of ordinary people become unemployed? If this method is implemented, it will definitely cause harm to the Fire Country."
She followed Tsunade-sama and traveled to many ninja countries, and knew that once the puppets controlled by ninjas replaced manpower, a large number of farmers would be bankrupt and unemployed.
When farmers lose their livelihood, the only thing waiting for them is to die or become bandits, and then be killed by ninjas invited by the lords. Usually this last way only delays the arrival of death.
After all, there is the unreasonable supernatural power of Chakra here.
It can only be said that Naruto has mastered the art of talking words. He immediately brought the topic to the beginning: "There are many islands overseas that are not even developed, and they can accommodate a large population." (Note 1)
"As for the next generation, we can train them all to become ninjas. This is also a good thing for the entire ninja world."
Tsunade couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
"When Shodaime-sama was still alive, was there any war in the Ninja world? If Konoha's strength increased tenfold or a hundredfold now, would there still be ambitious people from other villages who would dare to start a Ninja war at that time?"
Naruto's words were also very clever. He only mentioned the outer village and did not say whether Konoha would have other thoughts when its strength increased.
Tsunade nodded thoughtfully: "I understand! In this case, you can raise all these funds, and there is no need to use the village's reserves."
Tsunade winked at Naruto playfully, and then asked Shizune to see her off.
When sending him out, Shizune looked a little worried, as if she wanted to say something to make amends. Naruto was not angry, and he didn't care about the village's funds.
It is better to rely on oneself than to rely on heaven and earth. This is what he was waiting for.
The root has been under his control for so long, how could Naruto not be able to save some money for start-up capital.
The development of things is always changing. Just as Konoha Village is undergoing changes, other major countries in the ninja world are also quietly changing.
On Sunagakure's side, Gaara was officially elected as the fifth Kazekage; on Kumogakure's side, the current Raikage was gearing up, always ready to strike hard; on Iwagakure's side, he was wary of Kumogakure's movements day and night, for fear of the next one.
A war begins...
The Kingdom of Water, Kirigakure Village.
The knock on the door woke Terumi Mei. She cleaned up her appearance before saying, "Please come in."
The man who came in was a man with tall hair, an eyepatch on his right eye, and talismans hanging from his earlobes.
He held a cup of hot tea in his hand and brought it to Terumi Mei's table.
"I'm really sorry to trouble you, Ao." Terumi Mei took the tea cup, blew slightly on her lips, and took a sip.
"It's really good. This is the finest tea from the land of tea. I haven't had it for a long time." Terumi Mei sighed: "Why did you hide it until today?"
Due to the policies set by the previous generation of Mizukage, the strength of Kirigakure Village has been greatly weakened recently. Its policy of "closing the village in isolation" has even affected the entire country.
Qing spoke with a steady and powerful voice: "This is indeed high-quality tea from the Kingdom of Tea, but it is not kept by me, but bought from a merchant from the Kingdom of Fire."
"The Country of Fire?" Terumi Mei said with a somewhat surprised voice: "They sold all the goods to the village? They are really looking for profit."
Not long after Kirigakure changed its policy on the "Blood Mist Village", ordinary businessmen would be scared to death just hearing the name of Kirigakure Village, let alone coming in to do business.
"I don't know." Qing continued: "The rouge, gouache, and accessories you bought a few days ago are all from the Kingdom of Fire."
"Ahem." Terumi Mei coughed to cover up her embarrassment.
Ninjas with Byakugan have sharp and amazing perceptions.
She didn't want to dwell on this topic and asked, "You didn't come to me today because of these little things, did you?"
Of course, she also knew that Qing was by no means such a boring person.
"Just now, a businessman from the Country of Fire came to me and was willing to sell a large amount of materials at a lower price, including refined kunai, superior ninja swords, detonating charms, and military food pills."
Qing said.
Terumi Mei's face suddenly became serious: "This is a good thing, we will buy as much as we have!"
These are strategic materials. No matter how much you save, you won't be afraid of not using them.
You know, how long has it been since the last ninja war?
"Wait a minute. If the other party is from the Land of Fire, could it be a trap?" Terumi Mei thought suspiciously. Could Konoha sell such strategic materials for no reason?
Qing replied: "I think we can give it a try. If it's true, the benefits we can get are too great. It doesn't matter if it's false." He put his hand across his neck and made a throat-cutting motion.
The same scene happened not only in the Kingdom of Water.
In many large and small ninja villages, businessmen from various countries appeared to resell various strategic materials.
Even if some smart people can see something is wrong, they don't know what is wrong.
Only by diving into the undercurrent can we see that the money earned turns around and ends up in Konoha's pocket like all rivers flowing back to the sea.
