After figuring out the cause of the matter, Lei Luo no longer bothered about Uzumaki Cheng's lateness. He gently waved his hand to interrupt the other party's words, his expression softened a lot, and then asked: "Have those two guys brought them?"
Uzumaki Makoto turned his head slightly, Lei Luo looked over and noticed the bandage on Naoki's back, and felt relieved.
Those two human-shaped bandage objects are actually people hidden inside. To be more precise, they are jinchūriki.
One is the one-tailed jinchuriki Fenfu, and the other is the four-tailed jinchuriki Lao Zi. During the war, the National Defense Forces captured the two. In view of the Uzumaki clan's rich experience in dealing with jinchuriki, Lei Luo handed over the two enemy jinchuriki.
Leave it to Whirlpool to guard for later use.
In other words, Fenfu and Lao Zi had both stayed in Feng Province where Uzumaki Cheng was.
The reason why these two jinchūriki were specially transferred here now is naturally to guard against the Sage of Six Paths.
Lei Luo's plan was to put all the four Jinchuuriki owned by the Fire Country, except Minato, into the sealed prison just built by the Research Institute, and put them under his nose to reduce all risks.
As for Minato, he would have to strip the tailed beast from his body and store it in the body of a certain Uzumaki clan member. Now he just postponed it because he was busy with work and didn't have time for the time being.
Although it is a pity for a perfect Jinchuuriki to lose the tailed beast, compared to being possessed by the Six Paths unknowingly, or other hidden dangers, it is the lesser of two evils. This loss is better for the Fire Nation.
Tolerable.
"Why is Rope Tree here too?"
Looking away from the bandage object, he happened to look at the rope tree. Thinking of the other party's current responsibilities, Lei Luo couldn't help but ask, and Uzumaki Cheng replied:
"I considered that Mu Dun can restrain the power of tailed beasts, and that Naoshu misses his sister, so I temporarily transferred him to my side. As for Tusheng, Huitu and Shikaku are currently in charge."
When Naoki heard Lei Luo and the two talking about him, he quickly bowed slightly, showed an embarrassed smile, and scratched his head. Lei Luo didn't say much when he saw this, and waved to Yahiko and others to come over. Mitsui saw that the training was suspended.
Then he also came over.
"By the way..." After greeting each other first, Lei Luo was about to ask what Yahiko Xiaonan wanted from him, but a thought flashed in his mind, and he turned back to look at Uzumaki Cheng, curiously: "That child of yours,
Is it a boy or a girl?”
"The girl's name is Xiang Ling." When he mentioned his newborn daughter, even a guy like Uzumaki Makoto had a gentle smile from the bottom of his heart, which was completely different from the previous fake smiles, evil smiles, and sneers.
"Xiang Phosphorus..." It turns out that Xiang Phosphorus is Uzumaki Cheng's daughter, and the personality difference is quite big. Lei Luo thought of the plot about Xiang Phosphorus in the original work, and glanced at Uzumaki Cheng with a slightly weird look.
The latter is baffling.
"This name is good and very artistic."
After simply giving a conclusion, Lei Luo started chatting with Yahiko, Konan Minato and others. Uzumaki Makoto, on the other hand, did not understand the meaning of Lei Luo's words, so he drooped his lips and shrugged his shoulders.
"Teacher, Xiaonan and I came to visit you mainly because of a construction project..."
Yahiko nervously told the whole story about the Grand Canal project, and then looked at each other with Xiaonan. The couple calmed down, and both looked at their teacher with some lack of confidence. Lei Luo closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes after a while, and said slightly
Frowning:
"Good things like this that benefit the country and the people can be submitted directly to Congress. There is no need to make any political deals. Besides, this Kageyama cabinet attaches great importance to infrastructure construction in terms of people's livelihood. Why don't you go to him?"
The Prime Minister of the Cabinet also holds a seat as a member of Parliament, and has a large say in Congress. Kageyama Mamoru is a relatively upright person. Lei Luo really can't figure out why Yahiko would seek help from an unscrupulous capitalist like Maeda Takashi instead of looking far away.
"Teacher, Prime Minister Shou has reservations about the Grand Canal project. According to the Prime Minister, if the Grand Canal is to be built, the amount of initial investment will be too huge. If it is started rashly, the risk will be too high."
Yahiko carefully considered his words and told the truth truthfully.
Does Kageyama Mamoru not support the Grand Canal project? Why? Could it be that he cannot see the development prospects after the implementation of this project?
Or... is there something shady going on here?
The instinctive thinking mode made Lei Luo instantly suspicious of Kageyama Mamoru's motives for rejecting Yahiko, but thinking about it carefully, Fugaku had never reported Kageyama Mamoru's misdeeds, and the other party really didn't look like a corrupt person, but this...
And why?
Puzzled, Lei Luo's brows furrowed even deeper.
Soon, I came up with the idea of asking Kageyama Mamoru face to face.
But at this moment, a chuckle sounded. Guanghui slowly leaned towards Lei Luo and leaned on his shoulder. She seemed to see the doubts in Lei Luo's heart, and smiled meaningfully:
"Lei Luo, Kageyama Shou is seeking stability."
Seeking stability? What kind of stability are you seeking?
"If I guess correctly, Kageyama Mamoru probably wants to be re-elected as prime minister."
He turned his head and glanced sideways at Guanghui, and saw that his wife was smiling, as if there was something wrong with her.
Suddenly, he felt itchy and unbearable, and kept urging the other party to clear up his doubts. Everyone also turned their attention to Guanghui, wanting to hear what the daimyo had to say.
"Kageyama Mamoru came to power because of the support of the people. Everyone knows this, but the people are also divided into regions and countries. The only people who really support him are the citizens of the Fire Country. As for other countries, or other
province……"
Shaking his head regretfully, Guanghui added the conclusion slowly: "I can only say that his influence has not spread yet."
"After all, it has only been about a year since the end of the war. The people in the Wind, Earth, and Rain provinces that were newly incorporated into the Fire Country don't know who Kageyama Mamoru is."
"Even if he wants to do something great and make people in various provinces know him, worship him, and finally support him, this is destined to be a long-term process. If he does it now, there is not enough time."
"Time?" Lei Luo repeated in a deep voice, while Guanghui said lightly:
"Next year is the next general election."
The words seemed to wake up the dreamer, Lei Luo, Yahiko, Konan, and Minato. Although the four of them still didn't know what was going on, Uzumaki Makoto suddenly realized something. He looked at Mitsue with bright eyes and spoke quickly.
road:
"Kageyama Mamoru is not actually a big capitalist. In other words, whatever he wants to do, he cannot pay for it himself. He can only rely on the cabinet's finances to build the Grand Canal. If the cabinet pays for it,
, will inevitably lead to a shortage of domestic resources."
"Yes, if the cabinet spends money to build the Grand Canal, the finances will definitely be tight. Domestic welfare security, infrastructure construction, administrative supplies, and support for small and medium-sized enterprises will all be greatly negatively affected. The people of the Fire Country will definitely feel
Kageyama Shou is dissatisfied."
Guanghui smiled brightly, counted on her fingers, and glanced at Uzumaki Cheng approvingly, as if to say: You can teach me.
