In the town, large swaths of shops began to pack up their things, and there was no end in sight to the rows of horse-drawn carriages used to pull things in front of the door.

The merchant busily lifted the guy out of the shop and put him on a horse-drawn cart in the open air, and secured it with a rope.

A certain guy even piled up the debris such as cargo and luggage to a height of four or five meters, and did not consider whether the old horse that had lost its hair would not be able to move, or whether the goods that were so high would fall down halfway together.

Many shops are ready to close and relocate, but the busy scene makes the whole town show a strange prosperity.

Some children chased and played in the horse workshop, and the jumping would disturb the adults, so soon a bear child was caught and hung by the adults, and the cry resounded all over the sky.

"Hey, Wang, what's going on here? Why is everyone leaving? ”

Morikawa asked, grabbing an old man sitting on a stone pier.

Ten years ago, since Jiang Chuanyue wiped out the black heads to unite the underground forces, establish guilds, maintain order, and develop some underground trading places, the town has embarked on the road of prosperity.

The population of the town has increased from more than 1,000 to more than 30,000 in the past ten years, and has increased more than ten times during this period, not to mention the floating population such as merchants who do not live here.

The growth of the population accelerated the prosperity of the town, and the economy of the town grew dozens of times faster in the past decade.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as GDP in the ninja world, and the ruling officials and nobles and the ninja village, which is the military strength of a country, do not care about the speed of regional economic development.

Otherwise, with the town's outstanding economic achievements in this decade, it will definitely attract the attention of the high-level. If this is the case, Jiang Chuanyue's intention to develop his forces in a low-key manner may be completely destroyed.

Although it is only slightly famous in the circle of low-level businessmen, and cannot enter the eyes of the big people, there is no doubt that the economy of the town is constantly developing.

The stability of law and order, the prosperity of commerce, and the unique guild organization attract a large number of merchants, even illiterate farmers will feel that life will get better and better.

However, just when the town's economic growth was booming, nine out of ten shops on the street were ready to move? What the hell is going on?

"Huh? It's been all the rage here, and you don't know about it. ”

Lao Wang took a puff of dry tobacco and squinted at Morikawa Daiki, as if he was looking at aliens.

"Haven't I been back to the countryside in the past few months, something happened at home, so I have to go back and deal with it." Morikawa said helplessly.

"Oh, I see, no wonder you don't know."

Then Lao Wang paused and said:

"In fact, there was a message half a month ago, the person in charge of the guild was ready to go to the country of waves to establish a ninja village, and all the business of the guild was transferred to the country of waves, at that time, everyone thought it was a rumor and ignored it, but I didn't expect the guild to really release the news a few days ago that the news was true."

"But what does the guild relocation have to do with these people?"

Morikawa pointed to the people who were packing up their things all over the street, puzzled.

Lao Wang glanced at Morikawa Daigui, took another puff of dry tobacco, and then explained:

"You know, those merchants like to come to our nameless town to trade because there's a guild here."

"Don't look at the fact that most of the people in the guild are not ninjas, just underestimate it, in fact, the bandits that many merchants encounter when transshipment goods are just a relatively strong Khan pulling a group of ordinary people who can't survive, at most a small group of routs, and it is more than enough to deal with these people and the samurai in the mercenary guild."

"Hiring ninja protection can greatly improve the chances of safety compared to hiring guild warriors, but it's also too wasteful. You must know that it costs ten times as much to hire a ninja as a samurai from a guild, but hiring four or five samurai from a guild can already ensure the safety of a caravan, so merchants with weaker funds naturally like to come here. ”

"Now that the guild has moved away, the merchants who came to hire guards will not come to this town again, so where will the owner of the shop on this street sell his things? And without the security of the guild, there will be ruffians and hooligans in the town all day long to extort money, how can this shop still be opened? So everyone is ready to move away with the guild, and the country of waves is not far from here anyway. ”

"I see!"

Morikawa Dagui suddenly realized, looking like he had benefited a lot, and then he gave a thumbs up to Lao Wang and flattered:

"Lao Wang, you are so amazing! I know so much! ”

"Humph! Of course. Lao Wang craned his neck, cocked his nose and replied proudly: "You don't want to see who I am?" I think when I was younger, I also worked as a tax collector for a lord. ”

"Wow! It's amazing! So what are you going to do next? Will you move with them to the Land of Waves? Morikawa's eyes lit up, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be very clever but not very knowledgeable." Lao Wang glanced at him with some surprise.

Morikawa Daiki is not as knowledgeable as Lao Wang used to be a tax collector, and he knows the pros and cons of the impact of the guild's relocation on the town, but he vaguely feels that this is an opportunity, so he wants to ask Lao Wang about his next plans for reference.

How good is Lao Wang? At a glance, you can see Morikawa Daiki's scheme.

Morikawa scratched his head embarrassedly and said:

"It's not like I can't help it, Lao Wang, tell me what I should do next."

Lao Wang nodded, he didn't care about it, although Morikawa Daiki was a farmer, but because he was obsessed with life in the city, he went to the town to work, and his survival depended on the prosperity of the town, and he usually had a good impression of such a clever young man, so he didn't mind saying more.

"If you want to continue to look for a job and make money steadily, follow them to the country of waves, where a new ninja village will be built, and a lot of people will be needed.

"But if you want to gamble and make a lot of money, go there and do business, there is a lot of demand for wood and stone needed to build a ninja village, and even because of the large flow of people, it is not bad to open a restaurant there."

"Some news from the guild says that any merchant who opens a shop in the new ninja village will enjoy certain tax incentives, in fact, most of the merchants in the town are going to this one, I personally suggest that opening a shop to do business is a good idea, as for how to choose, it's up to you."

After speaking, Lao Wang kept silent and smoked a dry cigarette silently.

And Morikawa Daiki on the side had a twinkle in his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking......
