Chapter 656: Golden Age

Konoha Village, the most important town in the Land of Fire in the past, is still important. However, it did not become the capital after the reform of the Fire Nation system.

But this town, for ten years, still serves as a training base for the ninjas of the Fire Nation, sending new forces to the entire Fire Nation military.

After the reform of the system, everything in Konoha Village is changing.

And the most important change is that Shinobi Village is no longer as independent as it used to be.

Instead, he founded Konoha University.

This university, which accounts for almost half of the entire Konoha Village, is not so much that Konoha University is in Konoha Village, but that Konoha Village is in Konoha University.

In Konoha Village, the original set of administrative institutions has been abolished.

Except for some aborigines, there are young people between the ages of sixteen and twenty-four at Konoha University.

Certainly, as one of the most important universities in the Land of Fire. Almost all of the administrators at Konoha University are members of the Supreme Council of the Fire Nation.

The ninjas trained by Konoha University will hold suitable positions in society according to their respective specialties and ratings.

The simplest example is a large number of Earth Ninjas searching for and excavating ore veins, and Water Ninjas discharging floods and draining water.

Although because of the emancipation of the workers and peasants, society entered a period of rapid development.

Ninjas, on the other hand, are also people with special talents, adding impetus to the development of society and technology.

As for the survival method of the ninja village in the past......

By receiving tasks and some state subsidies.

It's completely history.

In the old days, although the daimyo was nominally the master of the country, the nobles of each region paid only a small part of the taxes to the daimyo .

The national treasury is not so much just the treasury of the daimyo family.

Ninja Village, which is the country's combat power, is subsidized, but within a limited amount. This greatly limited the development of Shinobi Village.

As for the other source of finance, taking over the task is the root of the destruction of the cruel village.

As a nation's war force, taking on a mission is equivalent to admitting that these ninjas are not soldiers, but a person who can be hired to do anything as long as they use money.

Even do things like catching cats and dogs for everyone.

And on the bright side, only the protection of the caravan is a good revenue.

Many lucrative tasks, but with ethical issues.

After all, it is a state institution, so naturally it cannot admit such a thing as bandits and bandits.

In this way, even Konoha Village, which has a very large number of tasks, has been severely limited due to financial problems.

So, Konoha is a fair institution on the surface.

But in fact, it is an illusion maintained by the exploitation of the people at the bottom by the major families.

Civilians have almost no chance of becoming ninjas.

Only large families with large estates and estates can maintain their glory and majesty.

But......

After Tomoki Uzumaki abolished the daimyo and the aristocracy at all levels, land reform followed.

The governments at all levels of the Fire Nation control every aspect of the country like roots.

Compared to the Daimyo period.

The first is that the law has been perfected, after all, although there is a law, it can be practiced to a very small extent in the domains of the nobles.

The second is that the people have been given land.

Of course, in the process, there will inevitably be many rebellions. After all, for a country like the Fire Country, which is still ruled by the aristocratic class, the nobility has a lot of resources in their hands. And most of these resources come from disputes with other nobles.

So there are few of these big families who don't resist.

There are even many families who have formed alliances against the rebellion.

It's just that......

For Tomoki Uzumaki, who controls Konoha and controls the entire Fire Country's military power, these riots are obviously meaningless.

It was a massacre.

And it was a brutal massacre.

The Patriotic Reform Promotion Association, almost before these stupid nobles rebelled, began to record and organize the list of nobles.

In the end, all the nobles who participated in the riot were beheaded, without exception.

Even from the beginning of their participation in the riots, there was no option to surrender.

The government forces of the Fire Nation do not accept any act of surrender, and would rather force these nobles involved in the rebellion to the back of the water.

In the case of complete crushing of strength, the so-called weak person has no point in fighting against the water.

However, the nobles who did not resist from the beginning and were willing to accept the leadership of the new government and actively participated in the construction of the new country. The government's attitude has been much softer.

In addition to being able to equalize land rights with commoners, they can also declare some things related to family honor, culture, etc., and keep them.

These are not compromises by Tomoki Uzumaki, but only the construction of a new country, and it is obviously not possible to engage in class antagonism at all times.

The aristocratic class, willing to embrace new ideas, did nothing wrong.

Moreover, the reality of the country is the same.

The people at the bottom don't even have surnames, and their education level is even more outrageous.

Therefore, the construction of the country, in the current situation, will inevitably need these nobles. After all, in the old days, only these nobles had the ability to receive education.

It is precisely because of the improvement of state institutions after the land reform that the financial income of the Fire Country has increased by more than 30 times compared to the first year of the old era!

Bureaucracy has unimaginable advantages over aristocracy. And the ninja world, because of these powerful individuals, ninjas. Therefore, the implementation of the system has become extremely fast.

As for the calculation of more than 30 times, it is only a vague estimate of the State Finance Bureau. After all, the land reform had just been completed, and the taxes collected from a large number of peasants were in the form of grain. In the old days, the things that the daimyo received from the nobles of all ranks were disorganized.

But in the years that followed, the government became more stable, and the advantages of the new system were manifested in many ways.

Far exceeding the fiscal revenue of the old era, Tomoki Uzumaki has become even more adamant about the idea of abolishing the ninja village system.

The military power of the country should not be presented in the form of a ninja village.

This is a very wrong way.

The correct way should be an army that is entirely borne by the state.

The army is the army, and soldiers must have good military qualities.

And not in the form of a conscription.

You can't do the work of catching cats for everyone.

Only by establishing a well-defined army, unified training, and conducting military training. In this way, in wartime, it will not become a group of improvised patchwork of loose sand.

Tomoki Uzumaki understands that such an army also has a geometric advantage over the old form of ninja village.

Ninja Village, on the other hand, is a deformity that violates the national system.

It is bound to be eliminated by the new era.
