Chapter 669: Changing the Law (Five More Votes)
Merchants are all profit-seeking, this is true both in Lei Luo's previous life and in the Hokage world, like the fifteen big businessmen in various fields sitting in the conference room, the reason why they can get together at this moment and discuss problems with Lei Luo is nothing more than that Lei Luo can bring them enough benefits.
With their strong financial strength and broad network of contacts, these big businessmen almost didn't spend much energy, and they earned a lot of money in Konoha with little effort.
In short, don't worry about the market.
Because of this, the various industries they invested in Konoha did not take much risk in nature, including a series of expenses that followed, not much risk, not only because they were strong enough, but also because Konoha's policies were biased towards them, making them not as prone to gains and losses as small businessmen.
But now, things have changed.
Lei Luo openly claimed that he wanted to replace the Daimyo of the Fire Country, this idea was too crazy and too unrealistic, just because the dominance of the Daimyo, after hundreds of years of cultivation, was already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Fire Country, which was by no means something that could be done by force alone.
No one thinks that Lei Luo can't kill the Daimyo of the Fire Country, but what about after he kills him?
Without the orthodox ruling class in the Fire Country, the entire country will undoubtedly fall into chaos, even if Lei Luo stands up to succeed him with absolute force, but with the thousands of ninjas in Konoha, how can he rule the vast territory of a country of millions of people?
What's more, even if you take a step back, Konoha has enough manpower, but are the ninjas capable of managing the Fire Country? In the eyes of businessmen, it is enough for a ninja to be a tool to kill and kill, and to do the work of a manager? Do you have that knowledge and experience?
Let the ninja replace the bureaucracy, and the country of fire will be finished sooner or later.
The reason why the merchants dissuaded Lei Luo from being impulsive was because of the long-standing idea of loyalty, but most importantly, they still didn't want to see the Fire Nation fall into chaos, after all, many of their assets were quietly staying in various parts of the Fire Country.
After playing in the Fire Country, everyone has no good fruit to eat.
Seeing everyone present jumping up and down like ants on a hot pot, Lei Luo was impatient, but he was still forcibly restraining his temper, slowing down his tone and saying slowly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you have misinterpreted what I meant, not that I want to be the Daimyo of the Fire Nation, but that "we" will jointly hold the power of the Fire Nation and do so in the name of the Daimyo. ”
Hearing the meaning of Lei Luo's words, Chuan Yihui rolled his eyes, sat back in his chair, and glanced at the two people who were close, signaling them to calm down first, and then moved his lips.
But before the old man could speak, Maeda Takashi spoke first:
"Hokage-sama, I probably understand what you mean, you want to secretly control His Excellency Daimyo and use His Excellency's status to achieve your goals, is that so?"
Saying that, without waiting for Lei Luo to answer, Maeda Takashi frowned, and said quietly: "Hokage-sama, are you too underestimating the officials of the Fire Country?" Although the ninja's methods are unpredictable and invisible, if there are inconsistencies in the decisions of the Daimyo, it will naturally arouse suspicion. ”
"It's only a matter of time before the news spreads and chaos comes."
"Besides, the Daimyo family has a deep heritage, and there are many tools for detecting ninjutsu and detecting chakra fluctuations, and they want to use illusion to control the daimyo for a long time......" Shaking his head disappretently, Maeda Takashi showed a polite but embarrassed smile, and added the last sentence:
"IMHO, the odds of success are slim."
As Maeda Takashi's words fell, all the businessmen couldn't help but quiet down, and they all looked at Lei Luo, obviously, Maeda Takashi's words said what they thought in their hearts, and everyone was waiting for Lei Luo's response.
"What if it's not inconsistency? If the Daimyo's performance is as always, and it doesn't show the slightest flaw, will the officials still be suspicious? Lei Luo glanced around the merchants behind the conference table and asked two rhetorical questions lightly.
"But if that's the case, what's the point of you controlling the Daimyo, Hokage-sama? If the funds are not available, the problem is still not solved. This time it was Chuan Yihui who asked the question, and the old man was puzzled, obviously a little unclear about Lei Luo's motives.
At this moment, a smile finally appeared on Lei Luo's face, he slowly opened his arms, and the palms of his hands slashed across the directions of everyone present, and said loudly: "Everyone, controlling the Daimyo of the Fire Country is not only for the benefit of my Lei Luo, but also for your interests. ”
The conversation gradually got to the point, and Lei Luo gradually revealed his true purpose, which made everyone's faces a little surprised: "The times are constantly developing, and the world is changing with each passing day, I believe that this situation, you should be deeply touched in our Konoha Village, right?" ”
"Our policy of Konoha has abandoned all kinds of backward rules and regulations, it is advanced, the most important, and the support for industry and commerce is spared!"
"We, the villagers of Konoha, have a friendly attitude towards merchants, and our various production ninjas in Konoha have seen the dawn of hope because of the existence of you big merchants!"
First of all, he desperately blew a wave of Konoha development, Lei Luo looked at the people who nodded silently, took a deep breath, and turned up the volume again: "So guys, have you ever thought about spreading Konoha's policy and Konoha's development model to the entire Fire Country?" An industrial revolution, a real feast of development? ”
Since they had already gained a lot of benefits in the development of Konoha, the fifteen businessmen present nodded in unison, but soon, someone reacted, and Maeda Takashi couldn't help but ask:
"Hokage-sama, do you want to take advantage of the opportunity to control the Daimyo of the Fire Nation and revise the law? That is...... Reform? ”
"I prefer to call it reform." replied simply, seeing that Maeda Takashi, a person who understood, was the first to react, Lei Luo coughed lightly, waking up the others who were in a stunned state, and then sped up his speech:
"The abrupt act of initiating reforms from the top down by the daimyo is likely to arouse suspicion among the people of the Fire Nation, so I would like to have you raise funds to support a group of important officials to serve as spokesmen for the reform, and then let the daimyo reasonably promote these reformers and let them occupy the dominant position in the government of the Fire Nation......"
"In this process, you have to use the resources at your disposal to constantly build momentum for reform, and when you reach a certain level, let the reformist officials jointly write a letter and propose to amend the bill, and finally, I will control the daimyo to agree."
"Then, in no more than ten years at most, the entire Fire Nation will be ours!"
As long as the bill is passed, it is completely predictable that the capitalists will inevitably grow to an extremely terrifying level in this reform that will spread to the entire Fire Country.
When the power of capital successfully soaks every corner of the Fire Nation and continues to erode into the hearts of every Fire Citizen, then the core power will no longer be the daimyo and the officials.
Rather, the capitalists.
