Konoha: My Liver Experience in the Ninja World Chapter 300: A country with a huge gap between rich and poor, people who are hungry, Qianyes God-given opportunity
Chapter 300: A country with a huge gap between rich and poor, people who are hungry, Qianyes God-given opportunity
Ueno Teru didn't know whether this question was Qianye's casual mention or a test he put to himself.
But he wants to seize this opportunity!
That’s why Ueno Teru said anxiously:
"Lord Hokage, please give me some time and allow me to think carefully."
"No problem. I'm very satisfied with Huijun's performance just now. I'm looking forward to what kind of surprises Huijun can bring to me next."
Qianye had previously thought that the nobles in the room were going to ask him for words.
The purpose of arranging Ueno Teru to go in was to show the nobles the benefits of being a leader.
Unexpectedly, Ueno Teru, the number one leader, could convince them within three minutes.
This was an unexpected surprise.
For those who are capable, Qianye never mind setting a stage for them.
Qianye also needs to know the specific information about the River Kingdom.
Regardless of the previous ANBU (including Gen) or the current Crow, the main direction of supervision is still the Ninja Village.
Moreover, even if Qianye wanted to monitor these neutral countries, he would be unable to do so.
The establishment of an intelligence department cannot be completed overnight.
Konoha's size is still too small.
So Qianye wanted to see if he could learn more about the situation in the River Country through local people like Teru Ueno.
...
Ten minutes later, Ueno Teru opened his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"Hokage-sama, I am from the River Country. I know very little about the internal conditions of other countries. I will tell you about the River Country."
Qianye nodded silently in his mind and became more optimistic about Ueno Hui.
If he had just imitated Zhuge Wuhou and created a ninja version of Long Zhong Duo from the very beginning, Qianye would just feel like he was wasting his time.
"Then I'm all ears." Qianye beckoned: "Ueno Teru-kun, please get up and talk, Yamato, get two stools... chairs."
Yamato in the dark had a look of resentment on his face.
He felt like he had become an unruly ninja.
Ever since I came back from the northern base, I have either been ordered to build a house or been ordered to build a house all day long.
Now I finally stopped building a house and ended up building chairs instead!
Yamato felt that if he continued like this, sooner or later he would develop proficient construction skills.
Maybe this is also a good thing. Then you won't have to worry about having nothing to do after you lose your job at the age of 35.
Yamato was complaining crazily in his mind while silently tinkering with two opposing chairs.
That kind of craftsmanship cannot be accomplished without more than ten years of experience.
In one word, absolutely amazing!
Qianye asked Ueno Teru to sit down.
"Thank you, Hokage-sama, for the seat."
Ueno Teru and Yourong Yan only lowered their buttocks on the chairs and continued to report to Qianye with serious expressions:
"The River Country is now adjacent to the Fire Country and the Wind Country. It has abundant rainfall all year round and is densely populated.
The country is mainly agricultural, growing rice, fruits and vegetables, and rice can be harvested three to four times a year."
"How is the domestic economic level?"
"Economy?" This unfamiliar word made Teru Ueno confused.
Looking at Ueno Teru's confused look, Qianye briefly explained the meaning of this term: "Economy is the general term for people's production, circulation, distribution, and consumption of all material and spiritual materials."
Qianye thought for a while and changed his words: "What is the living standard of the local people in the River Country?"
Ueno Teru understood this time, and he mused: "We nobles are very wealthy, but ordinary farmers do not live a very good life. They can only maintain food and clothing."
Qianye's eyes lit up, Ueno Teru was really a talent.
I understood what he wanted to know by asking this question and gave an accurate answer.
"I didn't expect that the gap between rich and poor in River Country would be so wide. What's the reason?"
"The gap between rich and poor?" Ueno Teru chewed on the word and was shocked by Qianye's 'wisdom'.
"Hokage-sama, you are so knowledgeable and wise. This word is so good."
"Yes, the gap between the rich and the poor in our River Country is very huge. Even the smallest nobles can live extravagantly, but those farmers who work in the fields can only make ends meet."
"There are various reasons, but I believe that the main reason comes from the treaty signed with the Country of Wind a hundred years ago."
"then......"
Through Ueno Teru's narration, Qianye quickly clarified the situation.
The Kingdom of Wind has a vast territory, but its geographical environment is very similar to that of Black Continent. Many places are deserts, which are suitable for living, and there are not many places for farming.
Food problems have become the main factor limiting the development of the Kingdom of Wind.
In order to solve this limitation, the daimyo and nobles of the Wind Country at that time set their sights on the neighboring River Country, a major grain-producing country.
But next to the River Kingdom is the Fire Kingdom.
How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the bed?
The Fire Kingdom will never sit back and watch the Wind Kingdom take action against the River Kingdom.
In fact, at the beginning, the River Kingdom also existed as a buffer zone for the war between the Wind Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom.
Based on this background, being forceful will definitely not work, and you can only use other means.
After long-term secret negotiations, the two countries reached cooperation.
The River Country has become the main food supplier to the Wind Country.
This situation has lasted for nearly a hundred years.
In other words, this supply relationship had already been formed between the two countries before the existence of Ninja Village.
Over the past hundred years, thanks to the food from the River Country, the population of the Wind Country has grown rapidly.
This kind of thing could be concealed at first, but the daimyo were not all stupid pigs. After a few years, the Fire Country also discovered the little moves between the River Country and the Wind Country.
This made the Daimyos of the Fire Country very dissatisfied.
Co-author: If you are afraid of the Kingdom of Wind, you are not afraid of our Kingdom of Fire, right?
By supplying so much food to the Kingdom of Wind, you are siding with the enemy!
As we all know, population is an important part of war potential.
The ninja world may be lagging behind in other aspects, but when it comes to war, everyone still knows it.
So the noble group of the Fire Country put forward conditions similar to those of the Wind Country, and ordered the River Country to provide them with the same amount of food as the Fire Country.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Otherwise, just wait for our Konoha army from the Land of Fire to set off!
The people on the left and right were either jackals or tigers. The River Kingdom couldn't afford to offend either side, so it could only crush it with its teeth and swallow it in its belly.
Alas, for the sake of the country, let’s just suffer a little more for the people.
I believe they will understand.
In the beginning, the nobles and commoners of the River Kingdom shared the joys and sorrows.
To be precise, the aristocratic group in the River Country at that time was still considered an individual.
A considerable part of the money from selling grain was distributed to farmers, and taxes were kept as low as possible.
At that time, these nobles and daimyo worked hard to save the River Country from such a miserable fate.
We work together as one to help each other.
Therefore, the days are tiring, but no one feels bitter.
However, when the older generation of nobles passed away one after another and new nobles came to power, this situation slowly changed.
It was also the time of the Second Ninja War, and there were only two paths left for the top management of River Country.
Either it becomes a battlefield between fire and wind, or it becomes a waste that only supplies food.
As long as you can provide the agreed food every year, our two countries will not fight in your territory.
The noble group of the River Kingdom cannot withstand the pressure from the Fire Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom.
They also believe that they should be realistic and not indulge in unrealistic fantasies like their ancestors.
Konoha or Sunagakure, which of these two ninja villages is easier to provoke?
As long as one party is dissatisfied, they don't need to send many ninjas. A large team is enough to kill those in power.
Anyway, no matter how hard we try, we can't break free from the control of these two behemoths, the Country of Fire and the Country of Wind.
If the River Country really becomes a buffer zone for the war between the two countries, everyone will suffer.
Isn’t it good to be alive?
Isn’t it good to enjoy life?
Whoever wants to resist should resist.
By the way, before resisting, please renounce the nationality of the River Country, so as not to harm them.
Anyway, they were completely flat.
Therefore, the efforts and will of the ancestors are like sand castles that disappear without a trace when blown by the wind.
Of course, the people in power during this period still had some conscience and were not too oppressive.
When the third and even fourth generation aristocratic groups came on stage, they began to think that they and these mud-legged people were two completely different species.
You mud-legged guy, just keep being exploited by them.
This is their honor!
Also, it's not like they didn't pay a heavy price.
If they hadn't worked so hard to deal with the two countries of fire and wind (accompanying guests and having fun), you idiots would have died long ago.
Just be obedient and have fun on your own.
As a result, the money farmers receive is getting less and less every day, and the taxes are getting heavier and heavier every day.
If someone makes trouble, the nobles will not show mercy.
If you dare to cause trouble, you are tired of living, right?
I can't stir up trouble by riding on a horse, but the masters of Feng and Liangguo can't deal with you?
A group of people make trouble and a group of people die.
No matter how many people there are or how big the scale of the rebellion is, they are just a number in front of the ninjas.
A cold number.
This number is the ninja's mission gold and the rebel's life.
In the extraordinary world, without the intervention of extraordinary power, it would be so cruel.
No matter how big the scale is, no matter how many people there are, it is just a number!
As for whether there will be any ninjas who dare to openly risk the flames of crime and risk the two countries to intervene in this war...
It can only be said that respecting the fate of others and putting aside the temptation to help others are also the rules of the ninja.
"Then Teru-kun Ueno thinks that if we, the Daimyos of the Fire Country, want the River Country to join this pan-regional organization, how should we start?"
"Lord Hokage, please forgive me for asking you boldly. Do you just want the River Kingdom to join this pan-regional organization, or do you want to secretly control the River Kingdom?"
Qianye's eyes were like a bottomless cold pool, as if nothing in the world could be hidden from these eyes.
It was obviously very hot now, but Ueno Teru felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, and he was sweating for a while.
After half a minute, Qianye said calmly:
"Ueno Teru-kun, it's not what I want River Country to do, but what the Daimyo-sama wants River Country to do. Do you understand?"
Ueno Teru looked nervous: "I understand, subordinates, remember this! Don't dare to forget it!"
"Don't be nervous. You are your own person now. Once you get along with me for a long time, you will understand that I will not suffer losses for those who follow me."
"The statement just made is for the public, Ueno Teru-kun, please don't let it slip."
If Qianye unabashedly interferes in the internal affairs of other countries, all countries in the world will definitely be outraged.
Put on a layer of skin, go around in a small circle, and do this in the name of a daimyo. These countries will also be outraged, but there will not be a strong overreaction.
When war broke out in their country, they had no time to pay attention to Qianye.
He believed that with the ninja's super high work efficiency, he wouldn't have to wait too long for this day.
"Yes, yes, I understand!"
"Ueno Teru-kun, what should I do if I want River Country to join this organization? What should I do if I want to secretly control River Country?"
"If your answer satisfies me, I won't mind setting up a bigger stage for Ueno Teru-kun."
Ueno Teru's breathing suddenly became heavier.
He was a smart man, and he immediately heard the underlying meaning of Qianye's words.
His next answer determines the rest of his life!
Ueno Teru jumped up from the chair, then without saying a word knelt in front of Qianye and said respectfully:
"If Hokage-sama wants to let the River Country join this pan-regional organization, I think it is only necessary to get rid of the Konoe family."
"What's the reason?"
"The Konoe family has a name in the River Country, called the Uncrowned Royal Family.
Their family has been married to the royal family behind the daimyo for many years, and they have long been indistinguishable from each other.
Getting rid of the Konoe family will be a powerful shock to all the nobles of the River Kingdom!
All the nobles, including the family behind me, have long been degenerated and corrupted in their pursuit of wealth and wealth.
As long as they don't want to end up like the Konoe family, they will definitely agree to your request.
There is no need to worry about Sunagakure Village in the Land of Wind.
As long as you are here, even if I give them ten courages, they won't dare to interfere."
Qianye touched his palms and exclaimed: "I saw it right, Ueno Teru-kun, you are really a piece of jade, right, Shikaku."
Nara Shikaku appeared out of thin air. He looked at Ueno Teru who was kneeling respectfully in front of Qianye. With admiration in his eyes, he leaned over and said to Qianye:
"I congratulate you, Hokage-sama, on the birth of a talented man."
Qianye introduced to Ueno Teru: "This is Nara Shikaku, my think tank in Konoha. The plan you just mentioned is very similar to his views."
"Shikaku, this is the future head of the Ueno family of the River Country, Ueno Teru."
"My subordinates pay their respects to Mr. Nara Shikaku Cabinet Member!"
"Hey, Hui-kun, there's no need to be so polite, this is all for Hokage-sama.
If Hui-kun is willing, just call me Shikaku."
"Hokage-sama, Mr. Shikaku, I will do my best and never let you down!"
Ninjas are powerful and have many good brains.
But they all use inherent thinking to think about and solve problems.
If Konoha wants to transform and develop, it needs to attract a variety of talents.
Although Ueno Teru is just an ordinary person, his brain is very useful.
If people want to make progress, learning from outstanding people is a good way.
Qianye believes that when people like Ueno Teru increase in number, they will bring great changes to Konoha.
"Ueno Teru-kun, what should I do if I want to control the River Country?"
