Chapter 327: The Functional Structure of the New State
Madara Uchiha asked, "How do ninjas live in the new country?"
The eighth master replied, "Just like the current Zhou, ninjas usually train and receive a basic salary, have task bonuses for performing tasks, and have a pension for retirement in old age."
The Thousand Hands Brothers and the Uchiha Brothers thought of what they knew, and said: Oh.
Senju asked, "How do you get the funds?"
The Eighth Master replied, "Establish a tax authority to tax the citizens of the Fire Country, such as: agricultural tax, land tax, commercial tax, etc."
Thousand Hands Brothers, Uchiha Brothers: ......
The eighth master waited for a while, but found that the four top ninjas were staring at him with wide eyes, and suddenly understood, they couldn't understand what they had just said, and they didn't know what to ask.
Turning his head to look at the group of shinobi who were listening, they were all dazed and happy, they were rejoicing: Fortunately, I didn't sit in the middle and embarrassed.
The eighth master raised his eyebrows, he was familiar with this situation, and spreading knowledge to the illiterate was what he used to do every day. Facing a large group of people who can only smile at you stupidly, but no matter what you say, the eighth master went from being crazy, helpless, and crazy at the beginning, to slowly getting used to it, and gradually there was a way.
It is necessary to pay attention to the ways and means of speaking so that people can understand it, and we must always grasp the leading power of speech when speaking, but the real key is to firmly grasp the immediate issues that people are most concerned about, and we cannot rectify those false things.
The eighth master began to popularize knowledge to everyone, and gave a rough description of the basic framework and power structure of the country.
He talked about taxation and finance, how to collect taxes, who to collect taxes, what to do with them after they are taxed, and what to do with the excess money.
He also talked about who the enemies of the state are, how to deal with them, why ordinary citizens are not enemies of the state, and how ordinary citizens should be treated if they break the law.
He concluded by talking about the power structure of the country, how the supreme leader should be elected, how the supreme leader should be rotated, how the successor should be selected, and how he should be elected.
This is not an in-depth description, and it does not involve any class division, and does not talk about fundamental content such as the relationship between productive forces, but is just a description of the ideal ninja country constructed by the eighth master after analyzing the current ninja world and referring to the water country under the leadership of the tired bird as the prototype.
But the ninjas listened to it like fascinated, and there was only the voice of the eighth master in the entire venue, and he didn't like it too noisy to drop a needle quietly.
The eighth master finally concluded: "In short, the new country is for the ninja who has the most powerful power, as long as the country can be run well, it will be like an almighty wishing device, no matter what we want, we can get it, we can achieve it!"
Whoa, whoa
More than 190 ninjas applauded desperately, they had never had such a clear idea of their future, and they had never been so full of expectations for the future.
To hell with the daimyo and the nobility, what is next, the era of our ninjas, the country to be established is our ninja, and the ideal of our ninjas is to be realized!
We are to build the state, elect our own leaders, establish our own management system, and collect taxes from the Fire Nation as our own revenue. ….
With the money, we need to build ninja schools to educate as many school-age children as possible, select professionals, and cultivate their sense of identity and pride in the country.
Loyal?
The eighth master has said, then there is no need to cultivate, as long as we maintain the strongest strength and the most prosperous country, loyalty will naturally be born, and there is no need to bother.
With a large group of ninjas, we must build the most powerful ninja army and take the initiative to sweep away all the resistance forces in the Fire Country, whether it is the ninja family who does not want to join, wandering ninjas, bandits, and villains.
When all threats are gone, we, what are we supposed to do?
"Sweep through Liuhe, unify the ninja world, and wipe out all the sources of turmoil in the ninja world!" The eighth master's impassioned voice sounded, "Maybe in our generation, maybe in our children's generation, we will bring the entire ninja world under the rule of the new country."
"Companions!
My generation grew up in the midst of war, and we had to practice the skills of killing, and I don't know how many people have to desperately pursue power in order to survive, unscrupulously and at any cost......
The Uchiha brothers were saddened, their eyes were as red as rabbits, and their watery eyes were almost about to fall into their eyes, and for the sake of strength, the two of them sent off their favorite person with their own hands.
With the help of sunglasses and a stand-up collar coat, his tears flowed freely, and in order to add a few ninjas, even if the children of each generation did not master the chakra, they would forcibly build a nest at the age of six, and the child's death rate was forcibly pushed to sixty percent.
Sixty percent, this is six out of ten children to die, and so many of them died at the age of six, and the relationship raised to this age has long been stable, and the blow to parents of every child who has passed away is devastating.
The other ninja patriarchs and the upper ninja were also gloomy.
"Our next generation doesn't need to, they still have to study killing techniques, and they have to study the politics that Chakra and I propose, but they don't have to fight to gain a little bit of strength, they can grow up to eighteen years old step by step, and then face this cruel ninja world."
The eighth master's emotions also came up: "But the next generation of children, they will grow up in an era when they have completed their domination over the entire ninja world, and they don't have to study all ninjutsu and chakra."
"They can also ponder literature, music, and painting like those pretending nobles, and they are free to live according to their own personalities and specialties!"
"Whew——! New Country! Unify the ninja world!"
"For the children, for the children!"
The upper ninjas went crazy, they saw a bright future in the words of the eighth master, and saw a happy life that was completely unimaginable before.
At this moment, they all made up their minds, and fighting to the death for this future was definitely an acceptable price.
At this time, whoever dares to stand in their way will definitely be torn to pieces by them, these are all Shangnin, what they are best at is killing, and they will never use words to criticize their enemies.
The Eighth Master's speech was over, and the vote did not have to take place, and the idea of building a new country was already the consensus of everyone. ….
"Second thing, what's the name of our new country?"
As a result, none of the five people, including the eighth master, thought about it, only Izumi asked, "We are the country of fire, can't we use this name directly?"
Senju gave a reason for his opposition: "Of course not, if you use the name of the Fire Nation directly, it will be difficult to distinguish it from the broken country, and it will be easy to be used by the Fire Daimyo, who is already our enemy, and he can't leave him with the slightest chance."
The eighth master said, "What the door said is very right, since everyone doesn't have a suitable idea, let's think about it after we go back."
He smiled and said, "Hurry up, if the next meeting hasn't been decided, everyone will have a say, and maybe they will be able to come up with a nice name."
The patriarchs and ninjas who were listening laughed, and some even tried to fight for this opportunity, if they really succeeded, then they would have the capital to brag about for a lifetime, and they would definitely be able to make their children and grandchildren stunned.
If you have the opportunity to live to old age, by the way, there is also a pension, and you don't have to go into hiding like your grandfathers when you are old.
Such an old age life seems to ...... Anything to look forward to?
He beeped——, if you don't want Lao Tzu to live to old age and receive a pension, Lao Tzu will fight hard with him!
"The third thing, our new national capital is set here in the Uchiha clan, is there anyone against it?"
This is just nonsense, Huhula is built like this, no one wants to move anymore.
The eighth master had no choice but to explain: "It's always necessary to make sure, even if it's a procedure."
"Okay, the fourth thing is to discuss and determine the structure of the new state, well, it seems that I have to come up with it, I will explain it?"
Everyone was nodding their heads, signaling to the eighth master
Hurry up, don't delay everyone's time.
So the eighth master told him about the future national design, and it must be noted that this is not a big government.
At this point in time, the Fire Nation simply does not have enough human capital, and playing such a high-end management method, he can only adapt measures to local conditions and engage in a small government centered on taxation.
However, no matter how small the government is, there will be no shortage of functions that it should have.
The first is the Hokage, the leader set up according to ninja conventions, and his office, which serves as the core department of the head of state for the entire country.
Then there is the completely independent Department of Taxation, which is administered directly to the villages, and any taxable source within the scope of the State is subject to the Ministry of Revenue.
In order to facilitate the Ministry of Taxation to deal with those who dare to resist taxes, the department has compiled tax ninjas, just like the water country of the original timeline, all of which are served by the upper ninja.
The eighth master said, "The ninjas who have been transferred to the tax department are all absolute elites, that is, some of you here, please remember that if you can't collect taxes, everyone and your children will starve together. The rest is up to you!"
Then there are some less important ministries, such as: the Ministry of Intelligence, the Ministry of the Ninja Army, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Communications.
As the name suggests, the Ministry of Intelligence can be understood by all ninjas, so it will not be explained. ….
The Ninja Army Department is the one who manages the ninja army, and is responsible for the organization, training, promotion, and retirement of most ninjas, and they are also responsible for managing logistics from mines to weapon production, from equipment distribution to damage recovery.
However, the Ninja Army Department did not have command over the Ninja Army.
Madara Uchiha was particular about this, and he asked, "With so many ninjas forming a ninja army, who will be in charge when it comes time to fight?"
Hachiko said, "The command is all in the hands of the Hokage, and in wartime, the Hokage is directly in charge of command, or a ninja is designated to be in charge."
The Ministry of the Interior is responsible for internal intelligence work, that is, counter-espionage work.
The Ministry of Defense is responsible for the defense and daily vigilance of the country's territory, and is also responsible for the protection of important people. But in wartime, in addition to the leader's defense work, the others are automatically demoted to the auxiliary department of the ninja army, and the ninja army is given a hand.
The Ministry of Justice is responsible for the trial and execution of punishments for arrested criminals, and it is necessary to establish departments such as courts and prisons.
The roles of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health are naturally well understood and do not need to be introduced.
Curious about the role of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Communications, Senjutsu asked, "Why did we set up these two departments, it seems that we have nothing to do with it?"
The eighth master glanced at him with slanted eyes, and raised his chin towards the door, meaning that you explain it to him.
"Big brother, we are good, whether it is the people of the Fire Country, everyone has to eat, and someone must grow and produce food to eat, as the manager of the country, the Hokage must know whether the food production can meet the country's consumption."
"Set up warehouses to store grain during harvest times, and release stocks to help people when there is a disaster and a harvest fails."
"We also have to find ways to increase agricultural yields, such as researching high-yielding seeds, researching farming techniques, and building irrigation canals."
"Big brother, no matter what we want to do, we must first eat well."
Qianjuzhu smiled weakly, he didn't want to ask about the Ministry of Transportation anymore, but Qianjumen had been "bullied" by his eldest brother for so long, it was rare to be able to retaliate against him in a bright way, how could he easily let him go?
"The functions of the Ministry of Transportation are to open mountains and cut trees, build bridges and pave roads, and expand rivers, which is not very useful to ninjas in normal times, but it can speed up the flow of goods and reduce the cost of transporting goods for merchants."
"But when the ninja army is dispatched, it can ensure the transportation of logistics materials, so that the materials consumed by the ninjas fighting on the front line can be replenished in time."
In the end, the Thousand Hands Pillar could only raise his hands and surrender, indicating that he had obeyed.
Even after the explanation of the state structure proposed by the eighth master, it still could not be understood thoroughly by the four speakers, so no one raised any objections to it, and it was directly adopted.
The last line of work is to apportionment the various departments, first press people in this pit, let them be responsible for construction, and work hard to implement.
As for not knowing how to do a lot of work, it doesn't matter, the eighth master suggests that you can learn by yourself, you really can't figure it out, you can find someone who knows how to help.
If it still doesn't work in the end, then you can ask the eighth master for advice, but you are not allowed to pick a pick, and you have to stick to it.
This can frighten a large group of ninjas.,One by one, shrinking their heads.,I'm afraid I'm going to be picked.,I still don't understand anything.,The devil knows which department is fat.,Which department is poor and cold.,In case you step into an unlucky pit.,This will be a disaster.。
Although everyone is still enthusiastic about dying for the new country, this does not affect everyone in the process of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and their own interests must also be fought for, right?
The eighth master smiled and began to arrange, he was the first to point to the Thousand Hands Pillar, and said, "Hokage-sama is a Thousand Hands Pillar, you can't question it."
Then he pointed to Madara Uchiha and said, "The Ministry of Taxation and the Ministry of Defense are in charge of Madara, is there anyone who opposes it?"
The Ministry of Taxation and the Ministry of Defense are the two largest armed forces administrations in peacetime, and Madara Uchiha is very satisfied.
He was satisfied, and no one else would object.
Then he pointed to himself: "I'm in charge of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health, and I don't think anyone will fight with me."
How can anyone fight for this, except for the eighth master, no one can figure out these two pieces.
But everyone still thinks it's inappropriate, as one of the Big Three, is it too light to be in charge of such a marginal department?
"Don't burden me for the time being, I'm less directly responsible, and I can still find time to answer everyone's questions, right?"
It makes so much sense that everyone can only let him go.
