Chapter 2: The Savior

After the end of the war, the destroyed town of Shinano quickly became lively, and the prosperity of the past is slowly being restored.

Lumberjacks cut down the trees and skillfully process them into planks, which are then made into a variety of materials for construction.

Horse-drawn carriages kept coming and going, carrying countless grains, porcelain, spices, and all kinds of daily necessities. Houses are being rebuilt, roads are widening, and the noise of people and clanging hammers and saws is endless.

Anyone who walks to Shinano-tei will be attracted by the young people sitting in the harbor fishing.

A hat, a moonlit robe, and a black puppy sitting next to it constitute a completely different quiet and natural picture in the hustle and bustle, which is very eye-catching.

The young man had strange white hair, neither long nor short, which was braided into a ponytail and hung behind him, dangling as he shook the fishing rod.

Many pedestrians will involuntarily stop for a while before leaving the port, because the white-haired teenager has such a wonderful way of fishing.

There are no fish, even the hook is straight, and the boy who sits still and motionless often makes a sudden move, and the swift transparent fishing line is thrown into a silver light, and the hook brush is thrown into the river, and the rod with excellent toughness is quickly straightened, and then a big fish is thrown out of the water.

Without even looking at the basket, Uehara flicked the rod, and the big fish was thrown into the bamboo basket with a small entrance.

"Good!" This wonderful performance won the applause of the people, the applause was thunderous, listening to the movement, there were many people, and probably another big caravan came.

"Young man, do you sell these fish?" A middle-aged man with a bow and arrow on his back came over, tired for a long time, and needed to prepare some fresh food when resting.

"No," Uehara tossed a basket full of fish to the middle-aged man, "I'll send you off." There are a lot of fish here, and the water quality is good, so it's easy to catch fish. ”

The bright smiling teenager was very impressive, and the middle-aged man took the fish basket and smiled innocently. He looked back at the wide streets where he was resting, and at the shops that seemed to have been built on purpose, and he looked around, as if he were a local from Uehara.

"I've heard that all the shops here sell them, right?" The middle-aged man asked, pointing to the neat rows of shops.

"That's right, after the rebuilding of Shinano Town, all the shops will be sold, including the port, which will also be leased." Uehara kindly explained, and the middle-aged man left in a hurry.

At this time, Uehara insisted on pouring all the materials to build the sample room first, showing its extraordinary advertising effect. The shop covers an area of more than 300 square meters and is 14 meters high, with a total of four floors, the first floor is a wide and bright hall with a height of 5 meters, and the remaining three floors are also 3 meters high.

The architectural drawings designed and planned by Uehara himself, he didn't want a village or a town, he wanted a small city, which was more prosperous than Konoha Village.

The population of the ninja world is not too large, and the high-rise buildings born from the high density of the population are not suitable for use here, but after analyzing the geographical location of Shinano Town, Uehara believes that it has the potential to develop into a prosperous material transit center, and as for failure, the money is not his own anyway, and it is forgotten if he fails.

Not one of the original residents of Shinano Town died after a catastrophe, so Uehara unceremoniously took ownership of the entire Shinano-ting land for himself.

The bustling town of Shinano was completely destroyed, but Uehara made it easier for Uehara to design it from scratch, and he widened the road so wide that it could accommodate eight carriages at the same time.

The original requirements for the road were very high, to be flat enough, hard enough, not to accumulate water, and to start construction at least one meter below the ground, so as to ensure that the entire road surface can be used for a long time.

However, such a high requirement is difficult for the engineers in charge of construction, there is too much rain in the country of rain, and the road needs to design a complex drainage system if it is not washed away, and the original requirements must be made of concrete materials to make the roadbed, which is not a condition that the simple construction environment does not have.

The road surface was temporarily lowered, and Uehara had already sent people to the upper reaches of the Shinano River to keep an eye on it, and it was calculated that the huge water conservancy project of the Iwakushi Project was probably nearing completion, and so many people must have to fight for it to fill the newborn Shinano Town.

At the same time, on the side of Tanokuni, Uehara also sent a caravan passing through Tanokuni to deliver the letter, and he asked the swordsmanship teacher Kamizuinoka Nobu for help to borrow a samurai guard of 500 men as the guard force of the Shinano River.

In return, Uehara promised to hire them as a low-level ninja, and for the time being, Uehara received a reply.

In the light-filled hall, the cleverly designed room has windows in place, and the light is reflected and concentrated on a large crystal chandelier in the center of the ceiling, reflecting a dazzling light.

The furnishings in the room are equally exquisite, with dark marble floors, white cashmere carpets, painted desks and bookshelves, bright flowers sprinkled with water, and a fish tank on the desk, where the aquatic plants and fresh fires, and the two small red fish that Uehara had been catching for a long time and swimming quietly.

This kind of arrangement can be regarded as exquisite, but it is not luxurious, this is the office layout of the three generations of Tsuchikage Onoki copied by Uehara, and at the same time, he also added his own layout, and plans to use it as his own office in the future.

The real attraction is the knife holder in front of the screen and a contract framed on the curtain wall.

The sword was sent by the demigod Hanzo, the leader of the rain ninja, and Shinano Town will be under his protection.

Ordinary people lack the strength to deal with the threat of ninjas, and the name of Hanzo is not only a legend of the Land of Rain, but also known to the merchants who often travel to various countries.

"Is it true? Hanzo-sama included a town in the scope of protection? Are you sure? ”

"I guess," someone next to me whispered, "I used to deliver food to the Rain Ninja Village, so I know Hanzo's handwriting." Besides, this is the land of rain, under the control of rain ninja, there are no fake guys, right? ”

……

The economy of the country of rain is not prosperous, but quite poor, the country of rain may rain more in a month than the country of earth in a year, too much rain is not a good thing, there is not enough light, the soil in the soil has not been washed by the rain has not been accumulated, crops can not grow, the country of rain is most lacking, but food.

During the war, Konan's group of people went out to look for food and encountered Jiraiya, but even in peacetime, Uehara's experience in the Land of Rain several times, the wilted carrots in the store and I don't know if there is a pound of white rice are more expensive than a detonation charm.

As for why Hanzo desperately developed his military strength and even recruited a large number of wandering ninjas and traitorous ninjas at any cost, he imposed heavy taxes in his sphere of influence, and all the proceeds were used to buy ninja equipment, but why didn't he spend some energy to develop people's livelihood or restore the economy, Uehara thought that either Danzang was stupid or there were other reasons.

The Land of Rain is a land of four wars, and there are many villages destroyed by wars, and often a new town may not be able to reap the benefits of being built, and it may soon be destroyed by the conflict between bandit wandering ninjas or great ninjas. The input is not proportional to the gain, and besides, that is the business of the Daimyo of the Land of Rain.

And the Sanshoyu Hanzo, who rose in the chaos of the war, was the first rain ninja to completely drive the ninjas of other countries out of the country, he defeated the rock ninja, defeated the Konoha ninja, and drove the fog ninja into the sea several times, and won the war with the three major countries at the same time, he became the hero of the entire rain country, and was admired by many people. This included Yahiko, the founder of Xiaozhong.

Hanzo, as the actual controller of the Land of Rain, can control most of the things that happen in the Land of Rain, Shinano-ting's reconstruction work was discovered by Yushinobi on the first day, and then Hanzo sent Yunin brought Hanzo's handwritten letter, he came to ask for money, or to collect protection money......

Five million taels in a quarter, in fact, is not much, but this is only the share of the first year, and it will be doubled in the second year. In other words, it doesn't matter how to run Uehara, but Shinano Town, which belongs to Uehara, has to pay 40 million yuan a year to Hanzo for protection.

As one of the owners and managers of Shinano Town in the future, the old man in the village, who has experience in managing the underground black market, thinks that the share is too high, 40 million is too much, and he wants to give less. For this reason, Uehara mercilessly satirized the old man of the village who had never seen the world.

Originally, the guy who handed over to Yunin was the mayor of Shinano Town, but that guy was later blown up by the Sanyo people, and there was no more left. According to Uehara's observations, the price of the goods unloaded by the ships passing by the dock every day adds up to enough to pay off the protection fee, not to mention the income from the rental of other shops and other benefits such as the underground black market.

The old man of the village is probably qualified as a manager, he has a good way, he took out the savings of running an underground casino for many years, and recruited a small part of the construction team in the nearest town, and a larger part of the staff is actually a wanderer who is dying or about to transform into a bandit, and with Uehara's permission, he promised to distribute the house, so the problem of manpower shortage is no longer there.

The homeless people in the neighborhood came, and the old man in the village only paid some food, and he didn't even have to pay for his wages to get a large group of laborers for free.

Murashita also has some very wise initiatives, such as he is very kind to give some food to the people who work every day, just a small bag, which can not fill the stomach, and at the same time he only gives those who work the hardest, which fully mobilizes the enthusiasm. At the same time, those who brought food back to the village had the best advertising effect, and slowly more and more people gathered on the Shinano River, and even if there was no work, even if ten people carried a log, Uehara warned that people must stay.

The basis of urban dialect is the concentration of human resources, and the basis of industrialization is the same need for population.

It is impossible for the Land of Rain to develop agriculture unless Uehara can research crops that can grow full in one-tenth of the light conditions.

As for industrialization, we must have examined it, at least to know the extent to which the world's productive forces have developed, so that we can make corresponding development plans.

The war destroyed their homes, and even the food was taken away by the bandits, and many children followed, unable to carry heavy loads or do dangerous things, so they had to do some work such as picking up stones.

However, there was still an accident in this way, a very naughty little guy climbed on the high scaffold alone, but accidentally fell down, he was hung by a nail and broke his belly, and when Uehara and they got the news very late, the little guy who didn't even know his name had lost his life.

If Nagato hadn't met Jirai, they would probably have had such an encounter, and if they hadn't met Bai who was just curled up barefoot on the bridge in winter without cutting it, there were many other little guys, and there were always a lot of fates.

Before the Shinano Ting house was built, the first partitioned cemetery was built first. The little ghost has no relatives, and he heard from other people that he has been wandering in other towns for a long time, and he heard that there is food here, so he ran over with the adults.

The imp, who didn't even have a pair of shoes, had thin arms like sticks, which really made Uehara feel compassion, and finally he made a decision that made the old man of the village ache - minors under the age of sixteen would be provided with free food until the day Shinano Town was built.

"We'll be back tomorrow!" Yahiko, whose mouth was stuffed with steamed buns, was choked and his eyes were straight, but he still used chopsticks to hold the boiled fish on the plate, really, it's been a long time since I've eaten such a delicious thing, and the bastard Jiraiya teacher said that he would come back, but the war is over, why hasn't he come back.

"Don't you want to," Nagato, who knew he had weird eyes, cowered in the corner with sunglasses, "We're coming too often, we'll be discovered, right?" ”

"No matter!" Yahiko feasted without any image, "Don't eat mushrooms, poisonous mushrooms will hallucinate if you eat them, and you will hit the tree with your head." Don't eat fish either, fish is also poisonous, you will have a stomachache if you eat it, and don't rob other people's things, it will ...... if you rob other people's things" Suddenly, Yahiko's chopsticks stopped, and he remembered something that made him feel full of guilt.

There is no grace in the struggle to survive, and the people of a village can die for a little food, and they have seen this kind of thing a lot. After learning ninjutsu, their lives have different trajectories, and when Yahiko, who has a lot of ghost ideas, sees a little imp who is careful to carry food and is careful to be ghostly, Yahiko knows that he must have stolen food from nowhere in his arms, and he will either bring it back to his hungry brother or bring it back to his sister to eat.

"Hey, got you!" Yahiko pretended to snatch the food, "But if you call me big brother, there will be endless food!" ”

The power is changing, and the mentality must be changing. Yahiko is very kind, he doesn't want to hurt even a bird, but then he learns ninjutsu, and at some point, he will cheer that the shuriken accurately shot down the bird.

The frightened imp didn't understand Yahiko's joke, and he was so frightened that he quickly turned around and ran, slamming his head against the wall with a panicked thud.

Yahiko can't understand it, and Konan and Nagato can't understand it, why did people die after hitting it? The emotion of self-blame almost swallowed Yahiko, and it took Yahiko a long, long time to come out of the shadows.

After that, the savior became the savior, and there were not many earth-shattering reasons in the process. At first, Yahiko just wanted to make the country of rain no longer have such miserable children as them.

The dishes and chopsticks were cleaned, and it was time to be in a daze again. It's sleepy when they're full, especially Yahiko, who can't fit in with the noisy children.

"Shall we also help build the town?" Nagato suddenly spoke, "Children don't have to work. But we're no ordinary children. ”

"Huh." This proposal is very good, Yahiko thought about it very seriously, "Agreed!" ”

……

The three of them used Transfiguration to transform into adults and went to the construction site, "One, two...... Three! With a bang, a huge log was thrown to the ground.

"This is the third steamed bun." Rubbing his worn shoulders, Yahiko muttered, "I'm going to carry two more steamed buns and one more fish...... Oh, and the mushroom soup that is not poisonous. ”
