When the construction of Nishikawa Heavy Industry began to take shape, various light industries sprung up in the Nishikawa Valley.

Fabrics, fashion, food, daily necessities, electrical appliances, electronic products, and other high-quality goods including clothing, food, and transportation are produced in various parts of Xichuan.

Soon, Nishikawa relied on the full investment and construction of the Konoha Foundation to replicate and establish a complete small-scale industrial system.

After establishing an industrial system, the Konoha Foundation used free land and cheap labor to establish trade stores and department stores in each castle, and began to produce and sell their own products.

Due to the local agriculture of Nishikawa and

All kinds of materials are very abundant, so the production cost of these products is low, the price is very cheap compared to foreign products, and the quality is excellent, so it soon gradually occupied the market in the entire Xichuan area, offset the monopoly dumping of foreign goods, and cut off the outflow of local interests.

In addition, because Nishikawa is adjacent to the country of wind and is close to the land of earth and water, the goods exported from here can save a lot of freight and time, so the goods produced in the Nishikawa area are not popular, and soon a large number of caravans come here to buy goods and gradually enter the domestic market.

In addition, the Konoha Consortium already controlled most of the cross-trade markets of the Fire Country, so Nishikawa's various products quickly flowed into the western countries of the ninja world, occupying a place in the export trade.

After the Konoha Foundation recouped its capital through trade, it began to increase its investment and expand its industrial scale in Nishikawa.

At the same time, the local merchant consortium of the Fire Nation finally realized the superior environment of Nishikawa, and after coveting the rich profits obtained by the Mahogany Leaf Foundation, they sent personnel to Nishikawa one after another, hoping that the shogunate would allow them to open up the market again.

Due to the large area and abundant resources of Nishikawa, even if the entire industrial system and population of the entire Vortex Island were moved, it could not be fully developed, and the strength of the Konoha Consortium could not monopolize the commercial production of the entire Nishikawa, so the entry of the local merchant consortium of the Fire Country could accelerate the industrialization and construction of Nishikawa, and also establish and expand the influence of the shogunate on the merchant class of the Fire Country, so Rope Tree welcomed these people to join.

However, the treatment of these merchants and the consortium is of course completely different from that of the Konoha consortium's own son, and Rope Tree is very clear that although the technological blockade of ninjas by ordinary people is led by the daimyo government, these merchant classes are also behind the scenes.

And before the Konoha Foundation officially launched its force, the reason why the industrial development of the Nishikawa region did not improve, the territory market was monopolized and dumped, the abnormal development of the Nishikawa economy, the unstable tax revenue of the shogunate, etc., were all behind the country's merchant class, and it was obvious that some people did not want a ninja-dominated territory to become bigger, even if this ninja was a general canonized by the daimyo government.

However, it is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, so seeing that the Konoha Consortium is in Xichuan Dafa Li City, these people can't sit still, obviously compared to their plans to blockade and contain the suppression of ninjas, interests are more important.

At this time, the benefits of the establishment of the Konoha Foundation by the Rope Tree and the mastery of the industrial system of the Vortex Island were revealed, and the supply and demand relationship between the two sides had been reversed, and now it was up to Nishikawa to take the initiative to attract investment, but the entire merchant class was crying and shouting to come to Nishikawa to invest in this cornucopia! Therefore, Rope Tree seized this point and proposed several policies or conditions for development cooperation for these people.

First of all, important industries such as minerals, salt, power supply, and real estate must be monopolized by the timber consortium, and businessmen from other places are not allowed to set foot in them. Because these industries are not only related to the stability of the territory, but also are profitable and profitable transactions, and the monopoly is most suitable in the hands of the Konoha consortium.

Second, any commercial land must be purchased with funds after the shogunate's planning approval, without any concessions. In addition, after the company is opened, it must comply with the laws of the shogunate, such as food safety, industrial pollution, tax payment, etc., and if there is a violation, it will be dealt with according to the law.

Third, all the real industries opened in Xichuan must cooperate with the Konoha Foundation, accept the investment of the Konoha Foundation, sell no less than 5% of the original shares, and conduct various technical exchanges with the Konoha Foundation.

Among these three conditions, the first two are easy to accept, but the third one is a little embarrassing, don't look at the 5% original stake doesn't seem to be much, but once agreed, it is equivalent to being tied to the Konoha consortium, and the basic technical exchange also violates the provisions of the technology blockade.

However, considering that most of the factories are civilian, although the technology may be more advanced than that of the Konoha consortium, it will not involve military aspects, coupled with the temptation of huge profits, most of the merchant consortium agreed to these three conditions.

With the addition of the merchant class of the Fire Country, the industrialization of the entire Xichuan was rapidly promoted, and under the drive of industrialization, Xichuan began to urbanize, and dozens of cities and hundreds of counties and towns were built on the land of Xichuan.

Roads connect the whole Xichuan as a whole, power plants and waterworks are established in various places, complex underground lines and sewers are gradually taking shape, whether it is rural or urban, the lives of ordinary people have gradually entered modernization, alternating current, tap water and various household appliances have entered thousands of households.

In the 37th year of Konoha, after three years of development, the population of the entire Xichuan brought to an astonishing 100 million, and the annual tax revenue reached 80 billion taels of silver, and the development of Xichuan was far from reaching the limit, and these two numbers were still growing.

By this time, Nishikawa had become the trading center of the entire western ninja world, and countless goods and caravans came and went every day, buying and selling goods to countries around the world.

After the industrial urbanization of Xichuan was basically completed, after three years of climate change in the western Xilin area, the land has gradually recovered under the influence of forests, and even the scale of the forest has a tendency to expand to the western part of the country of wind.

Therefore, the rope tree began the process of developing the Xilin area again, and soon several policies similar to those in the Xichuan area were issued.

Since the land development in Xichuan is close to saturation, the previous policy has been terminated, and there has been another wave of migration in Xilin, and a large number of farmers from various countries have poured into the west.

This time there is Nishikawa as the foundation, so the development and construction of Nishibayashi is carried out at the same time as agriculture and industry, and after the last experience, the shogunate personnel with the help of Konoha ninjas and immigrants to build more quickly, the only difference is that the construction of Nishibayashi pays more attention to the protection of the environment, and a reasonable green environment must be left to prevent the land from desertification again. I believe that in a few years, a prosperous area no less than Xichuan will appear.
