Chapter 571 Xichuan Great Development on

In addition to the skyrocketing power and prestige, the outside world has no effect on the rope tree, and it is no matter how annoyed it is, he is no longer afraid of any force in the world with an army of 70,000 and a Tianxing fortress.

After completing the afforestation plan in the Xilin area with the concerted efforts of the 70,000 people, the rope tree and the 70,000 troops returned to the west for the next step of development and construction. He had to complete the preliminary construction of the Xichuan Territory before the arrival of spring, so as not to delay the agriculture of the whole year.

At the end of January of the 34th year of Kiyo, after returning to Nishikawa, Rope Tree released all the civilians of the Wind Country who had been imprisoned in the fortress and the Sacred Tree Cave.

After nearly half a year of repeated "psychological" treatment, the negative emotions in the hearts of these civilians have all dissipated, and they can be regarded as preliminarily tame, although they are not as close and loyal as the civilians of the Fire Country, but at least they will not resist the riot.

The total number of civilians looted by the Rope Tree from the Land of Wind is about 20 million! On weekdays, only millions can be held in the fortress prison, and the rest are locked up in the Sacred Tree Cave, taking turns for "psychological" treatment.

The food consumed by these 20 million civilians in half a year alone is a large amount, and if it hadn't been for the previous plundering in the Land of Wind, the rope tree would probably have lost money.

Fortunately, the negative emotions generated by these civilians played a huge role in the previous plan to change the sky, and it was not in vain to raise them in the past six months.

Now it's time for them to officially contribute to the construction of the territory.

The population of more than 20 million is far from enough to fill the vast area of the Xichuan area, but it is also enough to carry out the most preliminary construction work in various places.

Rope Tree has already completed the construction plan of Nishikawa. Although the current level of science and technology in the ninja world is about the same as the World War II period in his previous life, and the major powers have basically completed the industrialization of urban dialects, the construction of the country of Sichuan must still focus on land reclamation and agricultural construction.

The 20 million civilians can't all be built around a city like the base of the Sky Country, because it will be a waste of Xichuan's land advantage.

Therefore, Rope Tree decided to disperse the more than 20 million people in his hands in cities, counties, and villages to various parts of Xichuan for initial construction.

With the city as the center, counties, towns and villages will be built in the surrounding areas.

This kind of three-level organization can not only rationally use the land in the western district for initial agriculture, but also lay a reasonable structure for the territory to lay the foundation for the future increase of the population.

As early as a few months ago, Rope Tree had already established a Nishikawa investment project in the Konoha Foundation in the name of the chairman.

The Konoha Foundation is responsible for all the funds and engineering plans required for the construction of the Nishikawa Territory, and when the construction is completed, the Foundation can obtain a permanent property in all the towns of Nishikawa for any commercial activities, whether it is to open a factory or set up a shop, and the Foundation can also enjoy a three-year business tax exemption after the fact.

Although the above project has a large investment and slow results, it must be a profitable investment backed by the chairman and general of Rope Tree. And the more time passes, the more prosperous the Nishikawa region becomes, and the greater the benefits of the Konoha Foundation.

Everyone is very optimistic about the potential and future of the Nishikawa region, this place will definitely become an important commercial center in the country of fire and even the entire ninja world in the future, and the Konoha Foundation is now investing in advance, and has a huge innate advantage in the future business competition!

Obtaining a piece of land in each town means that the entire Xichuan region will have a share of the Konoha Foundation in the future, and even if you don't carry out commercial construction, you can make a lot of profit just by selling the land!

What's more, Xichuan is in the early stage of development, and a large amount of materials will inevitably be consumed in various constructions, and the three years of tax exemption alone can allow the Konoha Foundation to earn back its investment.

Moreover, the 20 million civilians of the Land of the Wind are all cheap laborers, and they hardly have to pay any wages except for food, so that the cost of manpower of the Konoha Foundation can be saved, and only the management personnel need to be dispatched and construction materials can be invested.

Over the years, with the development of the Konoha Foundation, the Foundation has recruited a large number of management talents among ordinary people, and these people have basically taken the initiative to join the Senju Division, which is not only absolutely reliable, but also has outstanding ability, so Rope Tree simply took this opportunity to summon a group of the best talents to the Shogunate, and appointed them as officials in various places to assist Rope Tree in managing the government affairs of Nishikawa and Nishirin.

In this way, it not only solved the problem of the shogunate and local officials, but also took into account the construction investment of the Konoha Foundation, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Due to the restrictions of the "will of the forest", Rope Tree does not have to worry about these people bending the law for personal gain because of their power, and even the widespread corruption problem can be avoided. In this way, the military and political power of the entire territory is in the hands of the rope tree.

Of course, after the construction project is completed, these shogunate officials will resign from their jobs in the Konoha Foundation, so as not to cause the foundation to have too much influence.

Most of the shareholders of the Konoha Foundation are the patriarchs of the various ninja families, and they are now under the command of the rope tree, so the investment plan passed without any resistance.

In fact, with the current financial resources of the Thousand Hands Clan, they can fully undertake the investment and construction of Xichuan alone, and if the rope tree invests in his own name, he will control the commerce of the entire territory, and one person will have all the benefits.

But he didn't do this, but invested in the name of the Konoha Foundation, distributing the profits to other shareholders in the form of dividends, and in the future, the Konoha Foundation would have to pay commercial taxes to the shogunate.

The reason why he did this was not only to further bundle interests and buy people's hearts through interests, but also to completely separate the finances of the Konoha Foundation and the shogunate.

As the largest shareholder of the Konoha Foundation, Rope Tree has to pay taxes to the shogunate he formed, which seems to be redundant, but it is actually necessary.

Because the Konoha Foundation represented private industry, while the shogunate represented a just government, there had to be a clear distinction between public and private ownership.

If there is no separation between public and private, either all the property will be invested in government construction at the expense of the personal interests of the rope tree, or the rope tree will completely control the business in the territory and turn all the income into private ownership and allocate it at will.

As the head of government, if he intervenes in business, how can others make money with absolute power advantage? Over time, commerce in the realm will become a stagnant pool, all the wealth will flow into the hands of those in power, and the interests of the common people will be exploited to the limit. Unless the Great Leap Forward can jump directly into the real Datong Prosperity and distribute all the benefits equally, the social system of the entire territory will soon collapse.

Therefore, the rope tree must completely separate the Konoha Foundation from the shogunate, and also introduce other merchants to compete with the Konoha Foundation, at least in terms of policy, to achieve absolute fairness, so as to ensure the vitality of the territory.
