Chapter 144: Konoha Village's Income

"At present, the number of damaged buildings in Konoha Village has been roughly counted, and the villagers whose homes were destroyed have also been resettled......

After reporting on the current reconstruction of Konoha Village, Yamato saluted the two advisors and said, "Two adults, you are very presumptuous. There's something I'd like to ask for your opinion on. ”

Mito Menyan nodded slightly: "Say it." ”

"Hayakawa Aoyagi of my team, because the team was broken up, there is no mission at the moment. If he could, he would like to be able to go out to find Tsunade-sama, both to do his part for Konoha and to get his classmate Rock Lee healed. ”

The two advisors glanced at each other, and after a moment of silence, they turned to Xiaochun and said, "Let's think about it." ”

Yamato was a little surprised, but didn't immediately refuse, could it be that the village already had a corresponding plan?

"Okay. The two adults will retire first. ”

After Yamato stepped down, the two advisors discussed.

"If we can get Tsunade back, it will really improve the situation in the village. And she's more suitable to be the Hokage than Jiraiya. ”

"That's right. According to Jiraiya's temperament, he probably will remove the Hokage's position. ”

"But both for Konoha and for himself to be lazy, he should make a suggestion to let Tsunade be the Hokage, and moreover, he will take the initiative to set off to find Tsunade."

"If he can get Tsunade back, it's fine. If he couldn't find Tsunade, he naturally had no reason to refuse to become the Hokage. ”

"However, we can't let him go on the road alone, at least we have to take another person with me."

"Hayakawa Aoyagi," Mito Menyan got up and rummaged through the information, "here." ”

After a quick glance, he handed the information to Koharu.

"Hayakawa Aoyagi is a good shinobi. In this turmoil in Konoha Village, he prevented the escape of the Iairo trio, and made a lot of contributions. ”

"What is rare is that he has developed a lot of ninjutsu, and he is willing to share and communicate with his peers, and even help them develop ninjutsu."

"He's a good ninja who loves his village and his companions."

"I can consider it, it's a good candidate. And he's good at tracking and analyzing traces, and his ability to gather intelligence should also be able to help. ”

"Now that Konoha is not strong enough, the young shinobi who have the most room to grow need to grow up as soon as possible. It would be nice if he could get guidance from Jiraiya along the way. ”

"Then let's follow the plan first, and improvise when the time comes."

…………

Last night, Aoyagi invited Chisato and the others to a banquet, and learned that Chisato and their teacher had also been incorporated into another team, and the three of them were temporarily led by another Nakashinobi, and it was estimated that they would take over the task of helping rebuild Konoha Village today.

Now it seems that I am the only one who is idle, but I didn't expect that after so long, I haven't been assigned to the new team, and the upper echelons haven't decided where I want to go? Or is there another reason?

Forget it, no matter what it is, I didn't assign a task anyway, so I can concentrate on my own practice.

As Aoyagi walked on the way to the training grounds, the more broken buildings became as she approached the edge of Konoha Village.

Konoha Village, an area that has been devastated by the war, is gathering many ninjas and ordinary villagers. Together, they are working to clear the rubble, and in some areas new houses are even being built.

Aoyagi also saw that temporary wooden huts had been built on some vacant land to house homeless villagers, which should have been built by Yamato-sensei.

Although most of the people I met were in a heavy mood, they still maintained a relatively positive attitude and vitality, and their work efficiency was quite high.

The villagers and ninjas are doing their part to rebuild Konoha, and Konoha Village has not forcibly recruited villagers to participate in the rebuilding work.

Immediately after the war, Konoha Village took out some of the funds to help the villagers whose homes were destroyed to rebuild, and at the same time, those who participated in the reconstruction were also paid.

In addition, Konoha Village also paid a large amount of pensions to the families of ninjas who died in battle. After this big war, the village treasury of Konoha Village has a lot less funds.

Although some people were willing to contribute to the reconstruction without compensation, the village did not agree because of financial constraints.

The rules cannot be abolished, and those who complete the task are paid. Wanton trampling on the rules will only make the rules ineffective, and perhaps, with the contrast of those who rebuild without compensation, may also discourage workers who are dependent on their families from participating in the reconstruction work.

The source of funds for Konoha Village, Aoyagi has also learned a little bit over the years.

Konoha Village's income mainly comes from mission remuneration, the village's own taxes, and various resources and military expenses allocated to Konoha Village by the Daimyo. Of the three, the last is likely to be the most important, especially in times of war.

During the war, a large number of ninjas were used to complete war missions, and a large number of people's livelihood tasks were stopped. As a result, the mission rewards of Konoha Village have been greatly reduced, and at the same time, tax revenue will also be severely affected during the war.

And it is precisely in times of war that the demand for military spending and various resources will increase much more than in peacetime. As soon as the so-called cannon sounds, there are ten thousand taels of gold. It costs a lot to wage war against a large number of ninjas. All kinds of forbearance, food, and gratuities are indispensable.

With such a decrease (income) and an increase (expenditure), the logistical pressure on Konoha Village will increase dramatically.

At this time, the support of the daimyo is very important, which is one of the reasons why the daimyo has a lot of influence on the ninja village.

In fact, the war between the ninja villages is also a war between countries. The remuneration paid by the daimyo can actually be seen as the remuneration for the tasks paid by the hired ninja village for the war, or the military expenses.

Amazingly, the acts of war between ninja villages seem to have been less influenced by the Daimyo. Even, whether to start a war or not depends more on the decisions of the ninja village than on the daimyo.

So many times, I feel that the presence of the daimyo is weak.

Overall, the relationship between Ninja Village and the country is fantastic. It is not a clear subordinate relationship, but more of a cooperative and mutually restrained relationship. The civil administration belongs to the daimyo, while the military belongs to the ninja village.

This bizarre system almost separates the military organization from a country, becomes independent, and has its own set of management systems, which are less affected by the civil affairs system. The head of the military organization, Kage, and the daimyo who govern the country, each lead the two management systems and jointly lead the country.

In the midst of his thoughts, Aoyagi came to the place where he used to train.

Fortunately, the area was not badly damaged, except for a few trees. One of the trees was mostly burned, and the surrounding grass was charred in small patches.

Cleaning up some of the clutter that got in the way, Aoyagi began to practice.

Okay, let's start exercising today.
