Seeing off Mizuki and a group of Konoha ninjas, Gu Sugi Bushui was very relieved to say a few words, nearly four hundred children, the youngest was six years old, and the oldest was thirteen years old.

In addition to the original admission quota, Gu Shanbushui also reluctantly promoted some children with some special talents from the unsuccessful candidates, and gathered thirteen classes, with nearly thirty people in each class. At present, only one initiation teacher can be assigned to each class, teaching reading and writing, basic arithmetic and geometry, and there are also many sports and art elective courses.

They are children who have not seen much of the world, and it is too difficult to expect them to stay in the classroom honestly and learn, and some extracurricular teaching that is in line with nature is also necessary.

Because it is a full-boarding school, after the Spring Festival, all these children will be taken over, and the Gushan family, who have rich experience in opening orphanages, will not be stumped by this problem.

"What your school runs is basically a loss-making business. Tuition fees are symbolic, and a large amount of poverty grants and student grants are provided, and even basic teaching materials are provided free of charge. Do you want to carry forward the feeling of charity, is it too much money to burn in a panic? ”

Zhiji's cousin's ridicule made Gu Shanbushui smile bitterly.

In his previous life, he had a very deep cultural background, and the concept of reading to change his fate was deeply rooted in the core of culture and almost engraved into his genes. There is no such tradition in the ninja world, no one shouts out the biased words of "everything is inferior, only reading is high", and no one touts the remarks that "there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book", so Gu Shanbushui wants to open up the wisdom of the people, and the first step is destined to lose miserably.

Not to mention tuition, the so-called subsidy is just a gimmick to make money, as long as you apply for registration, there is almost no disapproval. From compiling textbooks to finalizing and printing, building school buildings, arranging teachers, and so on, a lot of money was spent.

Losing money is just a nice saying, and it is basically impossible to make money by engaging in basic education.

"A way of redistribution of interests, even if you can't learn too much to settle down, you can make a few more capable friends, learning knowledge is one thing, building relationships, is also the only way to succeed. No matter what you do in the future, you have to have a group of like-minded companions to help you, and it is too difficult to rely on one person to fight alone. ”

"Repairing bridges and roads, giant ships and cannons, tired of spending all day drinking?"

"The last one doesn't have it, don't talk nonsense......"

My cousin, who seems to have changed his mentality recently, has also begun to say some innocuous jokes, but in front of people who are not very familiar with him, he still can't let go, and naturally he is far less energetic than the high-spirited noble son back then.

"In addition to fighting and killing, fighting for power and profit, you realize that you have to cultivate your own team, and you can be regarded as a lot of maturity."

"I couldn't get out of it before, but I should have started a long time ago. I talked to my father a few times, and it seemed that there was a lot of resistance. ”

"Don't blame your cousin-in-law for not being willing to support him, he also has his own concerns."

Although Masakoto Furusugi has held the power of the family for many years, he is only a son-in-law who joined halfway, and many things are not done justifiably.

Gu Shanbu Shui is different, the only heir of the family, not even a brother and sister, the succession of Princess Liuli's bloodline power is gradually stable, and there are no competitors to shake the status of this generation of young family governors, as long as there are a few blood heirs, nearly a hundred years of wealth and tranquility can be expected.

"I don't mean to complain, the 'King of Fighters' Challenge has been held for 17 years, and it's not easy to do this well."

Gu Shanbushui, who shook his head slightly, squinted his eyes and said with a smile,

"Aside, why do you say you want to be an art and vocal teacher for a while?"

"It's been a long time since I've done anything serious, so let's practice with this first. Those children who are as clean as a blank sheet of paper are just painting freely. I have to let them know what is good and beautiful, distinguish between bad and ugly, and if possible, teach them how to distinguish who is talking nonsense in a serious way and fooling the public. ”

"It's just the beginning, don't go too far, let's make it simple, too elegant literature and art, too obscure righteousness, they can't understand it."

Stopping Zhiji's cousin's idea of wanting to make trouble, Gu Shanbushui casually changed the topic,

"The day after tomorrow, how are you going to spend the New Year? Would you like to go to my house for a meal? ”

"Forget it."

The handsome middle-aged guy who hurriedly waved his hand was slightly embarrassed,

"My cousin took good care of me back then, but when it got to this point, I guess I'm angry with me, so don't go to her eyes. Don't you know, when Sister Liuli is angry, it's quite scary. ”

"That's okay, you can find a place to pass the time by yourself, you can play anywhere, look for Yaskawa Zaihara for foreign affairs, ask Huyin Sunrise for internal affairs, you know everything."

"Got it, don't worry about me, I'll be back before school starts."

The dashing cousin of Zhiji, after saying hello, left on his own, and for many days did not know where he went, according to rumors, he appeared a few times at the port wharf, and chatted speculatively with the busy workers who were sweating like rain and steaming bare-chested in the winter.

On the other side, the red leaves who were pregnant with her heart, while stroking her stomach, lazily looked at the official documents sent back from other places, frowned slightly, and reviewed a few sentences from time to time.

Staying quietly on the side, eating a small snack with Sesshomaru and Simmer Pill, stretching out his waist boredly, his little face slightly bulging with a little baby fat, and he was a little dissatisfied with his mother who had been busy and didn't have time to spend with him.

I don't know how many times I sighed softly, but Momiji finally put down the pen in his hand and stood up.

"Done with work?"

Hurriedly got up, held his mother's arm beautifully, and prepared to go for a walk and rest in the courtyard outside, Xiang Lian asked with a smile,

"There will be a lantern show and a fireworks show in the evening, so why don't we go out for a walk together?"

"It can be, but my appearance is too conspicuous, if I go out, I either take a car or demarcate the VIP area, not to mention the experience, and delay others to visit the temple fair."

"Wouldn't it be nice to call my father along?"

"I don't know if it's okay."

The daughter doesn't know, the red leaves understand, now at this time, the Gushan family doesn't know how many banquets there are, and the Gushan Bushui, who has gradually taken over the power of the family, can't always hand over the entertainment to his parents, and he has to show up from time to time.

There are also some inexplicable reasons, such as this time last year, many people played the edge ball to send their noble girls over, nominally the normal movement of the New Year's Festival, in fact, there are also men and women look at each other, set almost the mind, in case a girl from a certain family is fancied, it is an unexpected joy.

Although I know that Gu Shanbu Shui doesn't have that kind of mind, what woman would like to encounter this kind of thing?

But there is nothing I can do, so I can only wait silently.

Just as the mother and daughter whispered this and discussed where to pass the time, Gu Shanbu Shui, who was wearing a simple robe inside, and the cuffs and neckline showed some gorgeous colors, walked over quickly.

"Well, you're still there."

"Father, are you here?"

"Hmm."

Holding the hand of the red leaves who wanted to stop talking, and holding the immature shoulders of Xianglin, Gu Shanbu Shui responded,

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the good stuff."

"You...... Is this a sneak out? ”

Momiji covered his mouth and snickered, and couldn't help but ask,

"Could there be something wrong?"

"Come on, who's really going to care about me at this time? Just show your face, it's okay, it's nothing important, and it's a waste of time to talk to those people that are not nutritious. ”

"There aren't a few noble girls who are close?"

In fact, nominally, Momiji is also qualified to participate in this kind of social occasion, until now, she is also a legitimate court official - Shao Nayan, who is naturally qualified to record the friendship, socialization, poetry and temple fair activities of noble ladies.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of having a big belly, there would be hope for an appearance on a not-so-dignified occasion this year.

Gu Shanbu Shui, who shook his head gently, smiled and did not answer.

This kind of question, no matter how you answer it, seems to be a bit awkward, so it's better to avoid it.

A family of three took a horse-drawn carriage to a luxury cruise ship with a gentle sea breeze, and sailed in the direction of the navigation beacon lights near the sea, and half an hour later, anchored at a viewing spot.

Leaning on the railing, Gu Shanbushui pointed to the brightly lit land not far away and said:

"There are too many lights, people come and go, in fact, it affects the night scene, in the cloudless winter before, you can still see the starry sky, now I haven't seen the starry night sky on Chinese New Year's Eve for many years."

The impact of light is one thing, but air pollution is also one of the important factors. Nowadays, the secular level of science and technology in the ninja world has not yet reached the level of considering the protection of the environment, although the volume is not very large, and the technology is not very good, steelmaking, heating, steam engines and chemical industry are all very extensive types.

Fortunately, after a heavy snowfall, the somewhat foggy sky has become much clearer, and tonight is a good day to travel.

Sure enough, when the time came, round after round of fireworks flew into the sky, illuminating the small half of Shiki Island, and the sparkling light could be seen in the distance from Inaba Port.

Holding a warm canned drink, while warming the palms of his hands, he pointed to the beautiful scenery in the distance with great interest, and talked non-stop with his mother Momiji, and Gu Shanbu Shui also echoed a few words from time to time.

……

At the same time, thousands of miles away in the land of the sea, Orochimaru looked playfully at the god who was half-kneeling on the ground and gave himself a big salute.

"You're saying that the research on the 'Amphibious Ninja' is already in a semi-terminated state?"

"That's pretty much it, but there's a reason for it."

God knew that he replied with a reason that he had already thought of,

"You also know that the experiment of merging natural humans with marine fish is not perfect, those half-human and half-fish guys are hardly useful, if you measure them by biological weapons, they are not qualified, but if you spend enough time to breed second, third or even fourth generation test subjects, select excellent individuals from them, and exclude degraded and mutated species, maybe a miracle will happen in the end. What the power of man cannot do, the power of heaven may do it in a way we don't know about. ”

"How could you have thought of continuing with such inefficient means of primitive breeding and the application of the principles of selection? You know, this is a project that I have given up, and even if you don't have the talent for groundbreaking research, you can still execute it step by step. Think clearly before answering, if I find out about trying to deceive, you know the consequences. ”

Tianzhi's face turned a little paler, and after gritting his teeth, he decided to confess.

"Hoping for the Destiny of Heaven to show up in the progeny of mermaids with a good shape is one thing, and making money to buy supplies to keep the laboratory running is also a top priority. Since Orochimaru-sama, you no longer care about this 'Amphibious Ninja' development laboratory, and the support of Konoha Village is gone, and if you want to maintain this base, it is not enough to occasionally rob the Sea Country Gold Ship. ”

Although it is far away from the mainland, the country of the sea has a backstage, and the misty ninja controls most of the lifeblood of this far-sea archipelago country, harvesting the use value from time to time, and occasionally coming to make rounds.

"So, you're going to sell the work in the lab?"

"Only partially."

"Who are they?"

The sharp gaze scanned the god's expression, intending to find evidence of lying, but so far, nothing seemed suspicious.

"Sea no Kuni Golden Ship Escort, Hoshinobi Village, Fog Hidden Village, Kawa no Kuni, Yu-no-Kuni, Fusugi Family ......"

Basically, the strength of the forces touching the southeast coast has been traded with God. The Gushan family is mixed in, but it is not particularly conspicuous.

Many of them have never come to the door after a cooperation, and most of them are not very optimistic about this kind of flawed biotechnology.

After listening to Tianzhi's explanation, after a long time, Orochimaru said in a dry voice:

"Since you decided to leave the soon-to-be-scrapped laboratory to you to take care of, it's up to you how to run it. Although some of these actions are not appropriate, they are reasonable. As long as something is done, even if you make a mistake, it is not terrible, just correct it. Provided that you have not betrayed my trust in you. ”

"Thank you for your cultivation."

Quietly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, knowing that he had passed a level, he handed over the recent log flow of the laboratory to Orochimaru to show his loyalty and selflessness.

Without even looking at it, he directly threw it to the pharmacist who was watching the excitement on the side, and Orochimaru commanded in an unquestionable tone:

"Inquire about the latest information on the Land of Water, and give it to me."

"You're going to the Land of Water?"

God knew very unexpectedly and said,

"It seems that the Fog Hidden Village has been a little unquiet recently, and the Kabaya clan who are about to stir up are dissatisfied with the rule of the four generations of Mizukage, and they are ready to launch a rebellion again."

"Kaguya? Oh, it's the Bone Vein. Will they succeed? ”

"Even I know it, and there is no way to talk about so-called secrecy. A rebellion that is not superior in strength loses its suddenness, and it is basically impossible to succeed. ”

In the matter of Wuyin Village, Orochimaru didn't care about it at all, but it was the bloodline limit of the corpse bone vein that aroused Orochimaru's curiosity.
