“…… Honest ......"

“？” Makoto came to his senses and looked at Fu Yue next to him: "I'm sorry, Fu Yue, what did you just say?" ”

The sunlight had turned clear gray through the thick clouds, and the clear glass on the ornate window frames had become blurred, and the gray and cloudy days of winter were cold and indifferent, but the newly built Uchiha office of the cat ninja village was still warm as spring.

With its golden chandeliers, heavy and soft carpets, precious mahogany tables and chairs, and the smell of burning sandalwood wafting through the air, the Uchiha Office is even more luxurious than the Cat Ninja Chamber of Commerce, which has been passed down for many years.

It's not that the Uchiha clan is richer than the merchants, on the contrary, this office was built by the Chamber of Commerce to raise funds for the Uchiha, and for more than a year, everyone has seen clearly the Uchiha's ambition to control the cat ninja, not that no one is dissatisfied with this, but compared to dissatisfaction, everyone understands better what the surname Uchiha means to the Chamber of Commerce in the past year.

Fu Yue had long been accustomed to Makoto's practice of cultivating during his office, but he still couldn't help but smile bitterly, he repeated, "Yu Ren sent a representative to discuss, hoping that we would provide technical and personnel support for them to build the railway, what do you think?" ”

Cheng replied casually without care: "Fuyue, you can just watch it." ”

As he spoke, Makoto closed his eyes again.

Fu Yue was helpless, and said in an aggravated tone: "The situation in the country of rain is a bit complicated, the ninja village forces in the north Hanzo and the nobles in the south represent the Nagamo family, if we bypass Hanzo and only agree to the cooperation plan of the Nagamo family, it is likely to be a little troublesome, especially the current policy of the village, which is to befriend Hanzo and divide the wind and rain alliance." ”

This village, of course, refers to Konoha.

Makoto opened his eyes impatiently and glanced at him, and said: "Then it's good to send someone to contact Hanzo together, with Hanzo's character, he will definitely not be the first person to eat crabs, but now, after he has deliberately waited for a year, with the good operation of the railways in various countries, I am afraid that he will not be able to impress him?" ”

"Exactly," Fu Yue said with a little worry, "a year has passed, not only Yushinobi, but also the villages of the other four major countries should have confirmed the benefits brought by the railway, and with the technical level of the railway, within a month, our monopoly profits in this area will cease to exist." ”

"This is something that cannot be avoided," Makoto closed his eyes again and said calmly, "The knowledge of ninjas has greatly affected the strength of Ninja Village, if we could have monopolized this level of technology for a long time, the ninja world would have been unified by Konoha long ago." ”

Fu Yue heard Makoto's words: "You mean that we should develop the technology that we have the greatest advantage in?" ”

Cheng had already sunk into cultivation and no longer paid attention to him.

Fuyue thought for a moment, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, understanding why Makoto no longer cares about himself, for Konoha and even the five strongest ninja villages in the ninja world, of course, this is the case, in order to obtain the greatest benefits, it is necessary to develop its own unique and most advantageous technology, Konoha's medical treatment, Sand Ninja's puppet, Yunyin's electric technology, etc., these typical traditional strengths, in the foreseeable future, will bring huge profits to the ninja villages.

If you take Konoha's "we" as an example, Fugaku's words are undoubtedly correct.

But with Uchiha's "we", Fugaku just said a word of nonsense, as mentioned earlier, the knowledge that ninjas have determines the strength comparison between ninjas to a considerable extent, but that is only one of the factors, just like Uchiha, although it is called the strongest ninja, but in terms of knowledge level, it is actually not better than the vast majority of ninjas in Konoha, and what determines the strongest Uchiha is precisely something that can never be promoted-

Blood.

This kind of thing is still left to the elders and patriarchs of the family to have a headache, Fu Yue restrained his expression and threw himself into the busy things in silence.

Cheng didn't immediately enter the cultivation as Fu Yue thought, but silently deduced a series of things that had happened recently.

Fuyue can leave things to the family to have a headache, but he can't.

As Fugaku said, the profit margins of railroad construction have reached the limit, and the Uchiha clan's technical level cannot support the development of new monopoly industries on their own.

However, Makoto never thought of developing through this kind of industry.

In fact, it is impossible for the five ninja villages to come up with the technology that is really high-end to the monopoly - just like the world before Makoto crosses, no matter what the technology is, only the two limitations of secrecy and cost determine that military technology will always take precedence over civilian use.

The Uchiha does not have a technological advantage over the five major ninja villages, but it has a trump card that cannot be ignored - the commercial and distribution center of the cat ninja village.

How many ninjas are there in this world? There is no market to tap at all, ordinary people who are not ninjas are the main force in the consumption of ninja technology, just like in the past year, the textile factory that Makoto cooperated with the big boss of Yunokuni Hot Springs has made a lot of money with the development of railway transportation, although the profit is not as good as the monopoly industry of railway construction, but there is no need for precious ninjas at all, only ordinary factories and workers can bring such a big profit, so that the family is very satisfied with this.

In a place that the family didn't know, Makoto privately intercepted a large part of the funds, and privately invested in more factories in other industries in his own name, of course, this is inseparable from the personnel and technical support of the Ninjutsu Innovation Association in Konoha far away.

Although the association's research on new ninjutsu and new technologies is only a superficial layer, there are still many people in the association who can't get in touch with the core of the association at all, but are only interested in ninjutsu research, and many of their research results, which are not within the scope of confidentiality that need to be kept secret, have been taken out by Makoto for development, and now, the entire cat ninja, almost half of the businessmen have close cooperation with Makoto or the association.

Fu Yue may have been slightly aware of this, but Makoto has nothing to say when he divides the boundaries between his family, his own personal lineage, and associations, and hands over the most profitable railway project to the family.

After all, Makoto is the family's highest person in charge of the cat ninja.

Although just like before, in the past year, almost all the related affairs of the cat ninja Uchiha have been handled by Fugaku, but whenever there is something that needs to make an important choice and decide the general direction, Fugaku will inevitably hand it over to Makoto to make the final decision.

Makoto, who was very impatient with the busy affairs that often disturbed his cultivation, still admired Fuyue's approach at this point.

This young man who is a few years older than Makoto, in addition to his excellent ability, can also clearly grasp his position, although until now, Makoto has not even recognized the personnel of the office, and almost everything is handled by Fugaku, but Uchiha Fugaku's cautious and self-aware attitude and actions make the entire cat ninja clan understand that the real leader here is Makoto Uchiha.

It's a pity that Fu Yue's father, Zhifu, is the descendant of the Great Elder, and it can be known from the fact that Fu Yue was able to become the patriarch in the original work, and this family is deeply rooted in the Great Elder Department, and it is impossible to separate, otherwise, Cheng really wants to recruit Fu Yue into his lineage.
