It took Yuexi nearly two hours to check the bill of the Konoha Flower Restaurant. This store is run by a clan member. There has been no personal enrichment, and the income is also increasing slowly.
Yuexi helped Ming Jing come out of the restaurant, while Qingyan followed the two of them. Before they had gone far, an ANBU member suddenly appeared in front of them.
Anbu was half-kneeling on the ground and said to the mirror: "Prime Minister, Hokage-sama, please go to the Hokage's office."
"Now?" Ming Jing was a little hesitant, because Yakumo would be out of school a little later, and he wanted to pick up Yakumo, Hinata, and Karin, and then go back to the restaurant to finish dinner!
"Yes." Anbu nodded.
"Okay!" Ming Jing did not embarrass the ANBU, as the Third Hokage would not come to him for no reason. As soon as the ANBU left, Qingyan called a carriage and took Ming Jing to the Hokage Building.
The Third Hokage was still the same as before, looking as if he would be buried at any time. However, he still couldn't bear to let go of his favorite pipe. He was wearing the Hokage uniform and sitting behind the desk. When he saw Ming Jing coming in, he smiled and asked: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister,
How are you getting used to walking in the dark?"
"Hokage-sama is well! It's almost done. Now I'm worried about whether I will be uncomfortable after recovering." Ming Jing smiled and shook his head.
"Hahaha... Please take a seat!" The Third Hokage said with some emotion: "I didn't expect you to be able to capture Onoki alive. That old guy's strength was already quite impressive during World War II. Your new generation has grown up, I
I think it’s almost time to retire!”
"It's just because the Third Tsuchikage was careless, and we just happened to seize this point. Now both the Leaf Village and the Fire Country need you to be in charge, so let's not talk about retirement! What's more, there is no suitable successor to you.
!" Ming Jing smiled and said in an unhurried tone.
"Don't you have it when you go back to Konoha Village? It's been hard for you to be wandering outside for so many years!" The Third Hokage knocked on his pipe and put some tobacco in it again. In his opinion, although Ming Jing's strength is a bit inferior, he still has a lot of trouble.
There are enough subordinates! The most important thing is that when Ming Jing returns to Konoha Village, he will naturally have ways to deal with the Police Department. After all, it is a department created by him!
That's right, the biggest opponent of Konoha Village now is the Fire Country Police Department, because the responsibilities of the Police Department overlap with Konoha Village in many aspects. For example, for escort missions, ninjas will be hired only if there is a certain risk, right?
You may encounter villains such as bandits and bandits on the way. With the protection of ninjas, you don't have to worry about bandits and bandits. However, one of the responsibilities of the Police Department is to arrest bandits and bandits, and they do a pretty good job on the road.
There are no more robberies, so who will spend money to hire bodyguards?
There are also services such as protecting dignitaries, which the Police Department can also provide. Although the ninjas of Konoha Village are stronger and more professional, the key is that the Police Department does not charge money! As a result, some small protection tasks are
The police department took it away.
It was okay in the first two years, but in the past year, this situation has become more and more serious. The Third Hokage lost a lot of his hair because of this matter. You must know that without these two mission systems, most of the
The money that the genin and genin can earn is much less. Although they don't say it with their mouths, they are still a little impetuous in their hearts. If it weren't for the industries arranged by the Kurama clan in the village in recent years, which have boosted the economy and made the tax revenue more and more considerable.
Let the Third Hokage have a certain amount of financial subsidies to these chuunin and genin. Maybe some rebellious ninjas have appeared in Konoha Village.
Ming Jing did not know that the police department under him was about to penetrate the foundation of Konoha Village. After all, Konoha Village was no different from other places and did not arrange any spies to lurk here. Although he did not agree with the Third Hokage's retreat for the sake of peace.
faction, but still trusts the Third Hokage. So much of the focus of Konoha Village in the Mirror is on Danzo, a dangerous figure, and does not know much about the problems faced by the ninjas.
Therefore, Ming Jing never thought that the Third Hokage wanted to abduct him back. He was very useful to the sudden concern of the Third Hokage, and said softly: "On the road of dreams, it is always lonely and hard. Now I finally
Having achieved some achievements, I want to see the scenery behind me even more."
"Well..." The Third Hokage immediately noticed the change in Ming Jing. As he matured, he said kindly in the blink of an eye: "As expected, you are a child who walked out of Konoha Village. I believe you can succeed. This is your home, Tired
Come back now!"
"Thank you." Ming Jing nodded.
"By the way, I came to you this time because the task you entrusted to Kakashi has been completed." The Third Hokage took out a paper bag from the drawer and put it on the table and said, "This is the information you want." Yue.
Xi walked over, took the information with both hands, opened it and flipped through it, and then told his young master in Ming Jing's ear that there was nothing wrong with the information.
"Haha, that's great! Please, Hokage-sama, please thank Kakashi for me." After receiving the confirmation, Ming Jing couldn't help but be overjoyed.
The task that requires Kakashi, the famous elite jounin of Konoha Village, to personally carry out the task is certainly not simple. In fact, Ming Jing can no longer bear the need to travel around the country by carriage. Taking advantage of the objective increase in government fiscal revenue in the past two years
Under such circumstances, he decided to build a railway!
The world of Naruto is really weird. There are obviously trains, but they are not that kind of primitive technology. Trains appeared in the theatrical version of "Yukihime Ninpo Tie", but Ming Jing has never been able to figure it out. Even the Snow Country kind of
There are trains in such a small place, and the five major countries are actually this time-honored means of transportation! The ninjas of Konoha Village and Sunagakure Village have to walk on foot when they go out to perform tasks. You, the hard-working and simple Prime Minister, can't stand it!
So on the way to the Land of Grass, Der Spiegel issued an A-level mission to Kakashi, to go to the Land of Snow to steal the locomotive manufacturing technology! It would be even better if a few more locomotive designers and railway engineers could be brought back.
If this requirement is met, Mirror can pay for the S-level mission.
Kakashi is worthy of being the signature of Konoha Village. He actually completed the task in just ten days. Mirror asked happily: "So, did Kakashi bring back the locomotive designer and railway engineer?"
"Kakashi did bring back two people, please invite them in!" The Third Hokage said to the ANBU hiding in the dark, and then an ANBU hiding in the corner left with a 'whoosh'.
The Third Hokage obviously knew Ming Jing's plan. He said with a solemn expression: "Ming Jing, do you really plan to build a railway in the Land of Fire? I have some knowledge of trains as a means of transportation. Just laying the railway will cost a lot.
.And the Fire Country is so big, this project is much more difficult than the Yucao River!"
"It's not just the Country of Fire," Ming Jing shook his head and said with a relaxed expression: "The Country of Grass will also be included in the railway layout of the Country of Fire. In the future, it is not ruled out that the Country of Rivers and the Country of Rain will also be included.
And bring it with you.”
"How much manpower and material resources do you need to invest in such a large project? As the Prime Minister, you cannot possibly not know that the Land of Fire lacks iron ore." The Third Hokage frowned and said.
"We don't have iron ore, but the Country of Craftsmen and the Country of Wind do! As for manpower and material resources, it's not a problem." Ming Jing shrugged indifferently, since he had fixed the railway anyway.
"Then do you have a plan in mind?" The Third Hokage sighed. Ming Jing is the prime minister. Since he is so decisive, it means that the rest of the Fire Nation government has agreed. I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse!
"Of course," Ming Jing nodded, he stretched out three fingers and said: "First, build three lines, one vertical and two horizontal. One vertical is starting from Konoha Village and the royal capital is the end point. The two horizontal lines are starting from the royal capital, respectively.
Leading to the border of the Kingdom of Wind and the King’s Capital of Grass.”
The Third Hokage looked at the high-spirited Ming Jing and didn't know what to say. He sketched a one-vertical-two-horizontal layout in his mind, which seemed pretty good!
