Chapter 52: Blame me for not reading back then
In the Hokage world, any place called a "city" is not a big place.
Like the ancient times of the flower planter, large places are usually called "cities", Chang'an City, Suzhou City and so on.
At that time, the level of productivity was limited, trade was relatively congested, and the concept of "city" was nothing more than a literal expression, just a place for dealers to gather and sell goods for trade.
Later, the Tang Dynasty implemented the fang city system, and the "city" began to integrate into the "city".
And the world of Naruto happened to be stuck at this critical period.
In this world, businessmen are still theoretically the lowest group of people.
The daimyo of various countries believed that merchants were a bunch of lazy people who did not produce opportunistic things.
However, this did not prevent merchants from making money – it was not only the daimyo who were the ruling class, but also many ministers.
The various policies issued by the daimyo were not conducive to business, and the merchants were caught off guard and had to turn to the ministers for help.
And the price behind this depends on how big the appetite of those ministers is.
As a result, an unusually strange phenomenon appeared in this world.
As theoretically the lowest group of people, merchants made the most money and lived the most nourishing life, and at the same time, they did not need to pay much tax to the daimyo's mansion.
The peasants, as the only middle group of the scholars, not only had to pay a huge amount of labor, but also had to pay more than half of the money and grain to the daimyo every year, and they worked all day long, but they were poor.
Except, of course, for the villagers of Ninja Village.
The villagers of Ninja Village are only responsible to Ei, not to the Daimyo.
So, for decades, many people have flocked to the ninja village - not because of how safe the ninja village is (the three ninja wars have proven how dangerous it is to live in the ninja village), but because they can at least have a meal to eat while living in the major ninja villages.
After all, the economic basis of the major ninja villages stems from the commissions that ninjas receive after completing tasks, not the taxes of farmers.
Mizuki thought about a lot of political and economic issues, not to show how clever his knowledge was, but to think that if he could water, he would be able to water.
It rained all night.
However, in a small place like the feudal city, it has no impact.
Mizuki stopped on a muddy street.
Thanks to the drainage measures in this place, otherwise the water would have merged into a river, and this small street would have been completely submerged.
As far as the eye could see, there was no one on the street.
It's exactly like the legend.
Really lively places don't come on the surface.
As long as there are some people or people still guarding this street, it will be the day of the opening of the market.
Not far away.
A roof made of yellow mud mixed with straw, supported by four rotten logs, a narrow space of six or seven square meters, existed in this crumbling and broken thatched hut.
Interesting.
Mizuki walked into the thatched hut and scratched it up and down a few times.
"Not bad." He exclaimed.
As soon as the words fell.
In the thatched hut, the tattered roof was suddenly washed out of a small hole by the heavy rain, and a thick cloud of yellow mud mixed with the rain suddenly fell.
If you don't die, you hit Mizuki's head.
"Poof".
A chime-like chuckle rang out.
"Where's the good, Mizuki-san?"
A playful inquiry came out of the mouth of a smiling girl.
The girl's long black hair was tied into two ponytails, and she was lazily lying in an old man's rocking chair with an unnamed book in her hand.
She shook the chair lightly, while blinking her big eyes to flip through the books, it seemed that she was in the cardamom years, and her baby fat face was white and red, and her skin was like congealed fat and could be broken, which was extremely cute.
Such a standard Lori made Mizuki's heart a little dignified.
The so-called cardamom years refer to a thirteen-year-old girl, in the previous life was a little kid who had just graduated from elementary school, this kind of child is the best recognizable crowd, or lively, or quiet, or rude, or introverted, no matter what kind of character, they will always float out of a child's childishness, and the woman in front of her, who seems to be a child, exudes an inexplicable mature charm.
"Heh, yes, of course, it means that this place lives up to its name, it's really just an ordinary thatched hut, and it's really broken." Mizuki calmly wiped the mud off his head.
When the girl heard this, she put down the book in her hand and stared at Mizuki with big eyes.
This glance intrigued Mizuki, who had seen for the first time such beautiful eyes with a strange decaying light, those eyes that weren't supposed to belong to a child.
"Oh? Does Mizuki-san have any high opinion about this shed? The girl asked curiously.
The corners of Mizuki's mouth were slightly raised, like a naughty boy who had been bored for a long time and rarely found a toy.
"Takami ......"
He had just finished his sentence when he suddenly shook his palm and slashed horizontally, breaking a nearby wooden pillar supporting the thatched hut.
The whole shed collapsed in an instant.
The earth became muddy and dirty with the rain, and countless sewage sludge splashed as the huts fell apart and fell.
Mizuki flashed out into the street, and so did the girl.
"Mizuki-san is worthy of being a man who wiped out half of Konoha with one finger, and he is really decisive in doing things." The girl said with a smile.
"Well, the news spreads so fast......" Mizuki touched his chin, "It's just that I didn't study back then, if I know how to make high bombs, or even real mushroom bombs, then why should I do that thankless manual work myself, do you know, it's very difficult to improve your strength!" If I were really a cutting-edge talent with knowledge and technology, I would have built a bunch of nuclear weapons a long time ago, regardless of whether the tailed beast was still an alien, I would blow up whoever was unhappy, and blow him up until he doubted his life! It's a pity that I didn't learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, which is the most painful thing for me, do you understand? ”
The girl looked confused.
"Oh, it's so hard to talk to a retarded person like you, so I'll ask you, did you do it yourself, or did I force you to do it?" Mizuki said indifferently.
"Hehe," the girl forced a wave of hehe, and then pretended to look at Mizuki calmly, and said in a soft tone, "Mizuki-san is really joking, but this place is a feudal city, and it is our territory, so you are too arrogant to do this." ”
"Arrogant? You have to know that I have traveled eight hours to come here to do business with you, not to play a game with you, you underground rats have been doing such a meaningless assessment for thousands of years, trying to improve your own quality? Do you want to prove that you are a black market with ideals, morals, and knowledge? Save it, I'm sleepy, play again, I can't help but play you to death. Mizuki reminded.
"I really don't understand what you're talking about!" The girl pulled her hair in the rain, looking indifferent.
Mizuki sighed.
The breath died down as it faded away, and the exclamation sounded.
At this moment, the heavy rain is gone, and the streets are gone.
Within the field of vision, a small crowded room appeared, in which Mizuki and the girl confronted each other.
The girl's eyes narrowed quickly.
"If you want to know what's going on, it's very simple, I'm just cooperating with you to get you to dig deeper into my consciousness - lo and behold, this is an ordinary Japanese-style room, with a low tea table, tatami mattress, wooden flooring, everything you need."
"There's that, although the popularity rate is not high, but you should know what it is."
Mizuki followed the temptation and pointed a finger towards the wall of the room.
The girl was curious, or just habitual, and followed his fingers.
"It's ...... Television set? The girl muttered to herself.
As soon as the words were finished.
Suddenly, a human head covered with long black hair suddenly burst out of the TV screen!
