Chapter 573 Xichuan Development Under the Great Development
In April of the 34th year of Konoha, with the arrival of spring, almost the entire world devoted all their enthusiasm to spring ploughing. Fastest updates
As a result of the lessons learned from the last war, the countries of the ninja world no longer dare to ignore agricultural production, especially the country of wind and the country of earth, even if they know that the local food production is low, they have to allocate a large number of labor force to develop agriculture.
It's just that with the reopening of cross-border trade in the Fire Country, a large amount of high-quality grain has once again poured into the markets of the two countries, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to sell the local grain of the two countries this autumn.
However, the top leaders of the two countries have already considered that in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, the government will set up a granary in the country to ensure that the food reserves can be used by all civilians in the country for three years. Therefore, even if the local grain cannot be sold, the governments of the two countries will come forward to buy it to ensure that the domestic agricultural system can be maintained.
The local grain production of the two countries alone may not be able to meet the conditions of grain reserves in the short term, and the government will also buy from the Fire Country.
Although food prices have dropped overall since the end of the war, it is foreseeable that there will be no shortage of markets for food produced in the Land of Fire in the coming years.
Therefore, it is a very wise decision for Rope Tree to vigorously develop agricultural construction in Xichuan District!
Nishikawa is mountainous, inhabited mainly by basins, and has a humid and warm climate, which is ideal for growing rice, and the quality of the rice grown here is even better than that produced in the Land of Fire, so the food produced in Nishikawa is absolutely competitive.
In addition, Nishikawa's geographical location is very close to the country of wind and earth, and it is possible to save a lot of money by exporting grain directly from here to the two countries, so it will definitely attract a large number of merchants in the future.
In fact, after the road to Xichuan was built, there was already an influx of caravans from the Fire Country, because now Xichuan and Xilin have become the only way to enter the Land of Wind.
After the merchants entered Xichuan, they immediately found that this place was completely different from the wild land they imagined, although due to the sparse population, the prosperity level was not as good as that of the Fire Nation itself, but judging from the roads in the area and the facilities of the city, it was not much worse than the interior of the Fire Country.
In particular, the Western Capital, which is the center of Nishikawa, is much better than the capital of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire in terms of urban planning and area.
The huge retro city walls, built to ward off wild beasts, impress all newcomers.
Since the city wall is built with Tu Dun, there will be no financial consumption at all, so the rope tree deliberately built a city wall up to hundreds of meters high, if the west needs to be expanded in the future, and then use Tu Dun to demolish it, it will not cause any impact.
The merchants who came to Xichuan were amazed by the dramatic changes here, and they couldn't imagine how Skywalker could accomplish such a miraculous feat in just a few months.
Looking at the huge fortress that flew overhead from time to time, everyone unconsciously admired the rope tree.
Xichuan was just a few days to be built, so it was full of business opportunities, and every merchant who came here could get a huge profit.
There are also people with flexible minds, who keenly saw the huge development potential of Nishikawa, looked at the empty city streets, and immediately invested in the purchase of real estate in the city, opened various shops, and added a large amount of financial revenue to the shogunate of the rope tree.
When the caravans left, they spread the word about what they had seen and heard in Nishikawa, and when the news spread, more and more people came to visit, including merchants and tourists who wanted to see the atmosphere of Nishikawa.
Of course, spies from various countries are indispensable, but after the rope tree has collected thousands of elites from the roots, plus the members of the dark department, the intelligence personnel under his command have greatly increased, and the entire Xichuan region is safer than Konoha, and the spies of various countries have been arrested, and over time, they will no longer waste manpower.
After Nishikawa's spring ploughing was over, Rope began to establish a branch of Shinobi Village non-stop.
According to the original plan of the rope tree, the new ninja village should be established in the western forest area, where the environment is similar to the area around Konoha and is very suitable for defense.
However, after referring to the location of the ninja villages in various countries, Rope Tree gave up his original plan and decided to retreat the building address of the new ninja village to the middle of the huge passage that had just been opened in the mountains of Nishikawa.
The terrain of the West Forest Area is long and narrow, and the strategic depth is relatively short, if the location of the Ninja Village is set too far forward, then it is easy for the enemy to attack the lair, or directly bypass the Ninja Village and attack the rear.
The passage of the Nishikawa Mountains is dangerous, and it takes a lot of effort for ninjas to climb the peaks of several thousand meters on both sides.
The ninja village is located at the throat, it is easier to defend the rear, and with the ninja's foot, it will take less than half a day from here to the border of the Xilin area, it is very convenient to send the ninja team to carry out daily patrol and defense work, even if the enemy breaks through the first line of defense, you can retreat to the ninja village to continue to organize the second line of defense, which is an ideal position to attack and retreat.
The construction of a ninja village is not as simple as the construction of a city, and in addition to the construction of major buildings such as garrisons, office buildings, and training grounds, it is necessary to have a strict defensive barrier under his subordinates. The arrangement of the enchantment must be done by a professional ninja and requires a lot of precious materials. Fortunately, the ninja army that accompanied the rope tree this time included a large number of ninjas of the Uzumaki clan, and they were all good at sealing and enchantment techniques, and they were good enough to do the job.
In addition to the 70,000 ninjas under his command and the 10,000 mountain people of Haragawa no Kuni, Rope Tree also specially selected 300,000 civilians from Nishikawa to join the new ninja village.
These civilians either have a skill, or have children of the right age in the family, or are simply orphans, in addition to the 10,000 physical fitness of many mountain people, Rope Tree is ready to recruit ninja school students from this group of children to train civilian ninjas.
The construction of the Chakra civilization requires a large number of ninja bases, so the rope tree must expand the number of ninjas in the territory, and the future financial income of the entire Xichuan can fully afford the new ninja branch.
In addition to the ninja school, the structure of the new ninja village is basically the same as the Konoha headquarters, the rope number is the ninja village, the Uzumaki clan is in charge of the enchantment class, the Uchiha clan is the garrison, and the other interrogation classes and other departments are all in the original team, and the positions of the Ministry of Finance and the Minister of the Dark Department are temporarily taken over by the rope tree, and the actual work is handed over to White Fang and Kato respectively. In addition to their positions in Shinobi Village, these people also held temporary positions within the shogunate.
Sannin is a disciple of the Hokage, and his status is not lower than that of the rope tree, and sooner or later he will return to the Konoha headquarters to serve, and he is not suitable for the position of the branch.
In addition, since the patriarchs of each ninja family stood in line, they simply passed on the position of patriarch to the next generation, and they themselves led the elite of the clan to serve in the shogunate. The descendants of the clan can inherit the position of the Konoha headquarters.
These patriarchs are generally older, and most of them died in World War II in the original book, so this choice does not have much impact.
In this way, no matter what changes in the future, their family can at least be preserved, and if Rope Tree succeeds in taking over the Hokage's position, then they can also expand the strength of the family through the branch of Nishikawa Ninja Village, and they will not be eliminated by other families due to the problem of taking sides.
This method of betting on both sides is the usual means of the ancient family to ensure its own continuation, and Rope Tree knows that he will not care about it in the future, he only needs the loyalty of his 70,000 troops, and after joining the shogunate, these people are completely tied to him without any retreat.
