Chapter 84: I don't know what the title is, so I'll just give it a sigh
As a generation of gamblers, Tsunade-sama, who has a reputation as a fat sheep, attaches unprecedented importance to the visit of the Daimyo.
A few days after taking over the affairs of the village, Tsunade had already discovered the biggest difficulty he would face when he took office, and his salary as Hokage could not pay the debts he owed for years of gambling. In the past, even if there was no fixed residence, the creditor basically couldn't find her, but after succeeding the Hokage, he couldn't leave the village and run away in order to escape the debt.
In any case, it is necessary to get as much money as possible from the daimyo.
With this attitude, the banquet specially prepared to welcome the daimyo was already the most luxurious in the village.
The daimyo and the three generations sat in a row with each other, Tsunade and Tohoshi sat on either side of the three generations and the daimyo respectively, and the rest of the positions on the side were the other elites and high-ranking people of Konoha Village.
If it weren't for the need to protect the daimyo all the time and not having time to find food by himself, Dongxing would definitely not move any chopsticks at the banquet. The food looks delicate and doesn't taste bad, but the problem is that it's not very filling.
When the banquet began, and after the greetings were all over, the current Hokage's three generations began to report to the daimyo on the recent situation in Konoha Village, including the war that had just been experienced, the current reconstruction of the damaged part of the village, the casualties, and so on.
When these things were almost reported, the theme of the three generations changed and began to turn to the difficulties faced by the village.
"Your Highness the Daimyo, although Konoha Village was victorious in the war and is now being rebuilt, the situation is not optimistic." The three generations are already old, and with their injuries, they all speak with a bit of coughing and wheezing, and the current situation of the village is particularly convincing.
The daimyo put down a piece of sushi that looked very delicate, and then asked, "When I came, I saw the people of the village smiling, decorating the houses, sweeping the streets, and looking happy, why don't you say that you are not optimistic?" ”
"This war of aggression launched by the sound ninja and the sand ninja caused the death of many ninjas and civilians in the village, and the village was also destroyed by the enemy, and everyone knew that His Royal Highness the Daimyo was coming, and the fifth generation of the village was about to succeed him, so he could smile." The three generations looked depressed and lowered their eyelids: "The village has almost used up all the money just to give pensions to the families of the martyrs who bravely protect the village, and a lot of the cost of rebuilding the village is subsidized by the villagers themselves. ”
Dongxing was stunned as he listened, and quietly leaned back, looking at Tsunade from the corner of his eye, looking at Tsunade from the corner of his eye. Tsunade actually looked sad and serious, as if what the three generations said was true.
Terrible! It is worthy of being two generations of Hokage, who have experienced great wars and have done countless difficult tasks. This acting is really... I can't catch up with the next horse.
In the past, I always felt that the third generation was a little stable and more old-fashioned and rigorous, but now that I look at it, it is appropriate to use the sentence of Chen Peisi to describe Zhu Shimao in the sketch to describe the current Dongxing's view of the three generations.
Konoha is indeed a little more difficult now, but there is definitely no situation where the three generations said that they can't even afford to rebuild the village after the pension is paid. In fact, the village is relatively wealthy, and the hospital in Konoha Village is not a charity, and the hospital alone can bring a lot of income to the village. Not to mention the main source of income for ninjas who are a high-income group - the prize money for the mission has to go through the village's commission, which is a large amount of income, plus the taxes that merchants who do business in Konoha need to pay.
Relatively speaking, Konoha is indeed a little poor now, but not to the extent that he can't open the pot.
Three generations and Tsunade implemented two words throughout the banquet:
Crying poor
The two bigwigs cried poverty all over the audience, in short, no matter how the daimyo asked, they revealed a message around the corner - Konoha is very poor and needs assistance.
Dongxing listened to it on the side, and he had to hold back his laughter.
This picture looks really cola, think about the three generations if they were a little younger, it should be easy for a person to tear down the capital of the country of fire and then leave in style, but now he has to pretend to be a critically ill old man and cry poor. The object of crying poverty is still an ordinary person who doesn't know much about Konoha Village.,Even if there is a position like a daimyo.,A daimyo without a little combat power can really only be regarded as an ordinary person with a lot of power.。
The daimyo also knew that the three generations and Tsunade were crying poverty for him, and the daimyo didn't really care about giving more financial aid to Konoha Village, but from the perspective of the daimyo, the aid was not to be given as much as he wanted. The Fire Country has a complete political and economic system, and although the Daimyo is the highest decision-maker, the things he does must be recognized by the courtiers and obeyed: "I already have a general understanding of the situation in Konoha, Konoha has always paid a lot for the stability and security of the Fire Country, and assistance must be given, but before that, I have a question." ”
The third generation and Tsunade glanced at each other: "Your Highness, please speak." ”
In the past, there were times when the daimyo applied for assistance through remote communication tools, and the daimyo always gave two answers, or not, and there were no problems, but today the situation seems to be a little different.
The daimyo stretched out his hand and pointed at Tohoshi, "I talked to him a few words before, and this is the first time I've heard about the life of a ninja. Listening to the meaning of the empty strip, can ninjas only earn money by doing quests? ”
This matter is not very incomprehensible to the Daimyo.
According to Tohoshi's statement and the report of the three generations, there are almost more than 10,000 ninjas working in Konoha Village, and the total population is about 60,000. The ninja village's external source of income is basically all tasks, that is, the village needs to rely on the money earned by more than 10,000 ninjas to maintain the operation of the entire village economy. Ninja Village does not trade much with the outside world, except for basic food, which relies on trading with other villages and cities in the Fire Country. The remaining 50,000 villagers, except for the elderly and children who do not participate in the work, are basically engaged in service industries, raw material supply industries, and handicraft manufacturing industries that serve ninjas, and there is basically no planting industry or industry. In this way, how much income would the ninja have to generate to maintain such a deformed economic system from collapsing.
The daimyo originally thought that the ninja village would also carry out some food cultivation or breeding by itself, but now that I look at it, I still underestimate the ninja's ability to make money and the cost of the ninja village.
The three generations didn't expect the daimyo to ask such a question, and thought that Dongxing Duokou said something that shouldn't be said.
Glancing meaningfully at Tohoshi, the third generation replied, "Not exactly, there are also ninjas who are engaged in other jobs, such as the ninjas of the Nara family who also cultivate medicinal herbs and medicines. ”
"In other words, only ninjas of large families have their own industry, right?" The question left by the daimyo in the afternoon seemed to be answered from the words of the third generation: "Moreover, even those ninjas of the big family work for the village, can the ninjas of Konoha Village accept commissions from other organizations?" ”
The three generations became more and more confused about the meaning of the daimyo: "It is true that ninjas from civilian backgrounds basically rely on tasks to get remuneration, and the ninjas of the village are absolutely not allowed to accept tasks from other organizations, and it is too dangerous for most ninjas to accept commissions without going through the village, and they cannot get the assistance and protection of the village." ”
"That's ......," the daimyo said thoughtfully, "Well, I'll deal with the aid funds for Konoha Village when I get back, and I'll be able to distribute them soon." ”
I don't know what the daimyo was thinking.
