"So this is an economic crisis that has affected the entire ninja world, and the Fire Nation is not immune!" After saying the final conclusion, Rope Tree kept silent, waiting for everyone to digest what he had just said.

This theory is too advanced for these ninjas whose average education level is less than junior high school, and it may be difficult for them to accept it if it were not for the example of Rope Tree.

However, some people can't turn the corner even in the face of facts, such as Tuanzang: "This ...... That's not right! The country is rich in materials and has enough food, which should be a good thing that cannot be sought! But why is there an economic crisis? And why hasn't Konoha been affected in any way?"

Hearing about the problem of Tuan Zang, everyone also had similar questions, and even the wise men such as Menyan and Nara Patriarch couldn't figure it out for a while, which was too weird! Although they have sensed the economic problems of the Fire Nation because of their status, they cannot find a specific reason.

"This question is more complicated, and it will be a long explanation to say!" The rope tree was scratched by the question of the group, and sold the guanzi with a mysterious face.

"Please also ask Minister Rope Tree to solve your doubts!" Tuan Zang said with a whim.

The higher-ups also looked at the rope tree curiously, eager to know the answer.

With a smile in his eyes, Rope Tree nodded reservedly and said, "The leader of Tuanzang has already talked about it, since everyone wants to know, let's talk about it briefly."

The overproduction exposed by the economic crisis is not the fact that the goods produced really exceed the actual needs. In order to enable the existing population to live in affluence and fully meet their needs for material and cultural life, the means of subsistence are not produced too much, but too little.

However, it is true that there is too much production relative to the demand for payment. As far as the means of production are concerned, in order to enable the working population to be fully employed and to promote the rapid development of production, it is necessary to invest a large amount of equipment in all production sectors. Again, the means of production are not too much, but too little.

However, in order for the means of production to function at a certain rate of profit, it is true that the existing means of production are produced too much cyclically.

It can be seen from this that overproduction is not an absolute surplus, but a relative surplus.

In the various social forms before the market economy society, due to various reasons such as wars, plagues, natural disasters, and the debauchery and decay of the upper classes, production and social life will also fall into serious misery and crisis in a longer or shorter period of time. But such crises are characterized by severe underproduction, while economic crises are characterized by overproduction. ”

This series of theories said by Rope Tree contains many unfamiliar terms, which sounds difficult to understand, and even wise people such as Menyan are difficult to digest and accept, and others are even more misty in hearing it.

The three generations of Hokage spoke again: "Rope tree, look at this ......"

Rope tree looked at everyone's expressions and knew that they didn't understand, so he smacked his lips: "Okay! I know you can't understand this pure theory, so I'll give you another example?"

The high-level officials blushed a little when they heard this, they felt that their IQ had been crushed, and they couldn't even understand the theory that the other party said.

Rope Tree patiently explained again, "Let's take the Fire Nation as an example!

At present, the real depreciation of the Fire Nation is only a few commodities such as grain and timber, and these commodities are only temporarily surplus and not forever endless, and if you want to maintain this situation, you can't do without the labor of civilians!

Civilians are at the bottom of the country and society, they do not have enough savings and wealth, and if they want to survive, they must exchange their labor for money, and then buy other living materials through the economic system!

As soon as a commodity is overproduced, civilians engaged in this sector lose the opportunity to earn wages. In turn, it will affect other commodity industries, which will lead to the depression of the entire economic system!

More than 70% of the wealth of the entire ninja world is in the hands of the government, nobles, merchants and ninjas, while the commoners at the bottom of the society have the largest population and the least wealth! So once the economy is in recession, then the first to be affected are the common people!

Then there are the ordinary ninjas, and finally the merchants and nobles!

Therefore, it is not that the supply of all materials exceeds the purchasing power of the whole society, but that the imbalance caused by the surplus of certain materials is caused by the unequal distribution of wealth!

And the reason why Konoha has not been affected is because the entire Konoha has been developing rapidly in recent years, and the construction of Konoha has provided a lot of labor opportunities for civilians, which is equivalent to Konoha using its own finances to feed these civilians! That's why the villagers of Konoha will become richer and richer.

The main source of financial income of Konoha is the ninja and the Konoha Foundation, the ninja does not produce, and the Konoha Foundation relies on cross-border trade to buy low and sell high to make profits, so it has not been affected for the time being.

But once the economy of the entire ninja world collapses, then Konoha can't be left alone! ”

After the rope tree's explanation, the Konoha executives present finally completely sorted out the reason.

"I see! Is there any way to solve this problem?" The three generations of Hokage hope that Rope Tree can provide a solution.

"The way to do it is simple, it's to mobilize everyone to buy overproduction! However, even with the financial resources of the Konoha Foundation, this cannot be achieved, and it is only possible to succeed if the government, nobles, and businessmen from all over the world join in. Rope Tree shrugged his shoulders and said.

But everyone knows that this is impossible, who would be willing to sacrifice their own interests to buy a bunch of useless supplies?

Looking at everyone's disappointed faces, Rope Tree continued: "Of course, there is a simpler and more direct way, and that is to start a war!" ”

"War ......," everyone repeated with some abruptness.

"Yes, from an economic point of view alone, war can solve such problems:

1. Overcapacity: What to do if there is too much steel? What should I do if I have too much coal capacity? What if no one wants to buy it? Isn't there a place to use it when there is a war? Some are places where excess capacity such as steel is needed.

2. Employment pressure: There are so many things to make, they can't be sold, they lose money, whether they are laying off employees or cutting salaries, it is a blow to employment, once the war starts, the country's industrial machine moves, the demand is great, and labor is naturally needed to produce things, of course, I am not afraid of not having work.

3. Insufficient domestic demand: the fight is up, some people are afraid of the shortage of materials, some people are afraid that the money is worthless, they are willing to buy more tun up, if the fight is more bad, it is natural to need to rebuild, a large set of supporting facilities is enough to drive a lot of domestic demand.

4. Domestic contradictions: once the war starts, in the face of the contradictions of the country and the nation, many other contradictions will be reduced to secondary contradictions in the eyes of many people, which can be transferred to people's attention, and can also allow everyone's contradictions to accumulate a place to vent, with the progress and end of the war, the process can alleviate the problems of production capacity, employment, and domestic demand, and the economy will improve slightly, everyone is busy, and the contradictions will naturally be alleviated, and the contradictions will be rebuilt after the war, and the contradictions can be slightly pressed for a while.

So all the problems of the war have been solved, as long as it is not too completely defeated, the economic crisis of all countries can be alleviated, if you win, maybe there will be a big gain, anyway, it is difficult to destroy the country with the current situation in the ninja world, the stronger the strength, the greater the chance of winning, this kind of gambling that is sure to win and not lose everyone can't ask for it! ”
