Chapter 107: Some Persistence Is Unnecessary

Led by Sakura and the others, Tsunade began to visit the village that she was familiar with, but even more unfamiliar.

As far as Konoha is concerned, she has been gone for too long!

In short, although the scale has expanded a lot, and there are factories under construction everywhere, because of the timing of the first five-year plan, under the new modern technology, some of the previous scenes can still be seen.

Soon, Tsunade regained that familiar feeling.

"Look, that's the agricultural land of our Konoha Hidden Village." When visiting, the first place Sakura and the others took Tsunade to was where the villagers of Konoha farmed.

Compared to those gorgeous and novel advanced scientific ninja tools, this is the quickest place to explain the changes in Konoha. Especially Tsunade, who has been losing so much that he can only avoid debts, has a deeper understanding of the importance of food than in the days when he has no money.

Among the production industries, the primary industry is actually the most important industry, but the backward ninja world does not seem to pay attention to this.

Even the land of fire, the land richest of the five powers, has not thought about how to increase productivity, but still maintains a backward small-scale peasant economy.

The farmer uncle near Konoha Hidden Village will occasionally hand over farming-related tasks to the village as D-rank tasks to sharpen the newly promoted Shinobi.

It's a useful thing to do, but if you don't go any further, it loses its meaning.

Equating agricultural production with the status of finding cats, never thinking about paying attention to it, so as to seek change, it is no wonder that the production efficiency is so low.

This is the reason why the income of Konoha Hidden Village has always been very small in terms of agricultural tax revenue.

However, the thinking mode of the high-level of Konoha Hidden Village itself is still the way of ninjas, as a military force of a country, it would be good to let the daimyo subsidize the economy.

And the lifestyle of a single ninja, of course, is to do tasks, get paid, and do tasks again, and so on.

However, if you want to change the mode of survival now, the first thing is to get the Konoha Hidden Village rid of its dependence on the daimyo economy.

Even if he directly relied on force to coerce the daimyo's mansion and force the daimyo to hand over the funds, he was actually restricted. Because this kind of thing can't happen often, as long as you are still dependent on the economy, you will eventually be restricted.

And now Sakura is starting from the operation mode of the primary industry, allowing Tsunade to see the changes in Konoha Hidden Village more deeply.

Under Tsunade's gaze, you can see that a new scientific ninja is leveling the land, renovating the soil, etc., and only a few peasant uncles are skillfully managing hundreds of hectares of agricultural land.

This large-scale and mechanized production management method has improved the efficiency by hundreds or thousands of times compared with before.

The human resources of the ninja world are actually not bad, there are hundreds of millions of people on a continent, but the utilization efficiency is too low.

Large-scale and mechanized production is the efficient use of the primary industry and the liberation of human resources.

In the 21 st century, less than 3 percent of the population engaged in agriculture can feed the remaining 99 percent of the population, and the production surplus is exported for export, which shows the advantages of mechanization and scale.

Just like the current situation in Konoha Hidden Village, although agricultural tools have just been promoted, the number of people who have lost production has become very large.

After becoming familiar with the use of those scientific agricultural ninja tools, they found that the same amount of land, the manpower required plummeted, and more than ninety percent of the people were able to make good use of the land.

And what Tsunade sees now is the operation scene that has begun to scale up and mechanize.

"In the past, the use of agricultural land in Konoha Hidden Village was not very efficient, and after the farmers and uncles worked hard, they still wasted a lot, and sometimes they needed to issue tasks for Shinobi to help."

Sakura pointed to the fields and introduced to Tsunade in a brisk tone, "And now, since the five-year plan was launched, with these scientific ninja tools, the production efficiency has suddenly increased a lot. ”

"Just the fields near Konoha Hidden Village are expected to be fully utilized. In terms of productivity, there are professional scientific researchers who are cultivating improved varieties to ensure that productivity will be improved every year. In addition, it is a great liberation of manpower. ”

"I'm sure Tsunade-senpai saw it too! We only need a few farmers to manage such a large area of land, and we don't need to spend a lot of manpower to farm. ”

"As for hiring ninjas to help out when the farm is busy, there is no need for that."

Listening to Sakura's introduction, Tsunade first observed the benefits. The benefits of mechanization and scale in the primary sector alone have begun to be felt.

But soon, it occurred to Tsunade that the number of people needed for agriculture was decreasing, and what would happen to the remaining farmers?

Now it seems that the first five-year plan has just begun, and the farmers are still enjoying the convenience of technology. However, over time, when they find that only a small number of people are needed to farm, the rest of the majority will be unemployed.

Farming or something, you don't need such inefficient manpower, the machine is enough.

Thinking about this problem, Tsunade didn't think much about it, so he naturally asked: "It's just, if you do this, what should the rest of the farmers do?" It's not like being a ninja, and ordinary people are too far from the conditions for becoming a ninja. ”

Of course, Tsunade doesn't mean that these are bad, and the scientific ninja that can liberate so much manpower is naturally very useful.

In the face of Tsunade's inquiry, Sakura just smiled lightly: "Of course there is a place where they should go, although our Konoha Hidden Village is in the primary industry and tries our best to liberate human resources, but this does not mean that there is no shortage of people in the village." ”

As she spoke, she pointed to the factories that had risen from the ground, which seemed so out of place in this generally anti-intellectual ninja world.

However, with the support of the five generations of Konoha Hidden Village, and with the strong intervention of the new generation of forces, these existences are like a mudslide, and they are coming towards the ninja world.

"See those factories? Tsunade seniors, the first five-year plan of Konoha Hidden Village, we must focus on heavy industry, and at the same time, we will not forget the development of light industry, and these require a large number of grassroots personnel. ”

"In the past, the villagers had their own things. Just farming already consumes too much manpower, so how can you take a break from production to participate in those jobs? ”

"And now the factories are increasing, because the villagers of Konoha Hidden Village have liberated their manpower. A small number of people can manage all the land, and the rest can go to artisanal factories or even heavily industrialized factories that are being built. ”

"Of course, the more new era and high-tech industries, the higher the quality requirements for employees. Therefore, in order to be able to make the people who are out of work qualified, so that they will not lose their jobs because of unqualified quality, we have made supporting preparations. ”

"The teaching place temporarily established by Naruto's shadow clones will try to cultivate the first batch of talents in the shortest possible time, everything is difficult at the beginning, and with the first batch of talents joining, the operation will be accelerated later."

Tsunade listened to Sakura's words with interest, and her eyes brightened up as she looked at these new changes, and she had to look much deeper than Jiraiya.

At the same time, she also felt the difficulty of doing these things. But looking at Sakura's familiar appearance, it seems that Class 7 plays a major role in this plan.

Judging from the conversation on the way back to the village before, the main person in charge of the first five-year plan of Konoha Hidden Village this time is really the seventh class.

"So, where is your place in teaching new technologies?" Tsunade asked, his eyes shining.

In the seventh class, she seems to see her former self and is working hard for a new future.

Seeing the pain caused by the war, Tsunade can be said to have single-handedly forcibly promoted the development of the medical ninja system, which was very difficult in those times.

The ninja world as a whole tends to be conservative, and unless a strong changemaker emerges, it is actually very stable.

And the attitude towards medical ninjas is the same, a medical ninja consumes four times as many resources as ordinary ninjas, so why spend so much money to train medical ninjas?

Even with Tsunade's medical level at the time, it was extremely difficult to implement this plan, but she did it anyway.

Now, the seventh class is also going to implement new things, although it has encountered difficulties, but she still does it, and it seems that she is doing better than she did at the beginning.

This is natural, there is a Hokage power to disagree with the public, and the resources and technology are all self-produced, and they do not ask for it from the old forces.

"If Tsunade seniors want to see it, now is actually the right time." Sakura smiled and led the way, "Right there, come with us!" ”

Next to him, Naruto hesitated, but still didn't say anything.

The New Era Talent Training Base of Konoha Hidden Village, with its equally new and beautiful buildings, makes people suspect that this is not an ordinary place for education, but a mansion for the Daimyo.

No, none of the Daimyo's mansions look like they are here.

Along the way, however, Tsunade has become numb to these buildings, after all, it is not an isolated place, but it has almost become the norm.

This also made Tsunade discover that Konoha Hidden Village seemed to be really rich, and he didn't know what kind of tyrant could afford such a huge project.

"The operation of these new scientific ninja tools is actually very simple, take your time, don't be in a hurry······"

In the training base, a gentle voice came out, making Tsunade, who was just about to walk in, unconsciously lighten his steps and ask softly, "Sakura-chan, has this started teaching?" ”

I don't know why, she unconsciously has a good impression of the owner of that voice, so she doesn't want to bother.

Presumably, that must be a very kind person!

"Don't be too careful, Tsunade-senpai, as long as we're not too noisy." Sakura said as she walked in with Tsunade, but watched from outside the classroom.

After entering, Tsunade found out who was teaching inside, it was a girl with blonde hair, who looked very gentle, and it made people feel good at a glance.

"Who is she?" Tsunade asked.

Naruto hesitated for a moment, ready to answer.

Sakura smiled and said, "Her name is Naruko Uzumaki, and she is the chief teacher of the first batch of trainees, teaching them how to use new tools. ”

"Naruko has a good image among the villagers, and having her teach can make these workers more quickly absorb new knowledge."

"Naruko Uzumaki?" Tsunade whispered, took a few deep glances at the figure in the classroom, and then walked to the other position, where the rest of the girls with colored hair were teaching.

There was only one classroom, and a young man in white glasses was explaining, and his voice was not salty or light, but no one dared to wander.

This is not to say that the young man in white has used any force measures, but when his gaze is down, people dare not desert.

After reading it once, Tsunade went out with them before asking, "Are these the new generation of people from Konoha Hidden Village?" ”

"They······ It's Naruto's shadow clone. Sakura paused, still not hiding it, "But Tsunade-senpai don't have to worry about this, Naruto is actually a perfect human pillar now, and the chakra is so much that it can't be used up, and the shadow clone can be divided casually." ”

Hearing this, Tsunade looked slightly surprised, but he was quickly relieved.

She didn't expect that someone's shadow clone could look so different from the main body.

However, these are not the focus now, and after recovering from the benefits that the first five-year plan has shown so far, Tsunade began to face up to the problem and asked, "Although you are doing a good job now, according to this trend, the financial revenue of Konoha Hidden Village can indeed be increased a lot. ”

"However, correspondingly, the tasks that ninjas can take on will also be reduced, and in the future, newly graduated shinobi may have to start directly from C-level tasks."

In this regard, Sakura naturally spoke: "But if you sharpen your ninja, you don't need to use these nanny-like jobs to waste ninjas who have mastered extraordinary powers, right?" ”

"You know, the power of ninjas has never been because we are ninjas, but because we have chakra."

"Even if you don't become a ninja, as long as you continue to practice chakra, you won't lose these extraordinary powers. Of course, those things are not the focus of the discussion now, and the concerns of Tsunade's predecessors are not the same. We have better jobs to give as the new D-class mission. ”

As she spoke, Sakura pointed to the ninjas paving the way, a renovated forest.

Ninjas, of course, should take advantage of their extraordinary strength, rather than doing things that ordinary people can do.

I've seen the primary industry, I've seen factories, and I've seen all kinds of new scientific ninja equipment, as well as changes in ninja missions······

Finally, a few people walked leisurely on the flat road at the head of the village, and gradually walked in front of Hokage Rock.

"Konoha Hidden Village, it has indeed changed a little bit!" Tsunade sighed, "What has remained the same for the past few decades may have to change completely in the next few years. ”

"That's actually a good thing. After all, it's better to change it than to follow the past state of being. Since history has proven it wrong, why continue to insist on it! ”

Without telling Tsunade any more theories like Naruto, Sakura just smiled and invited, "I heard that Tsunade's predecessors have made great contributions to the implementation of the medical ninja system. ”

"So now, are Tsunade seniors willing to work hard again for the medical industry?"
