Chapter 295: The Box of Bliss, the Last Hope of the Exiled Aristocrats!
For the next period of time, the focus of the Yellow Ape and Konoha leaders was on the placement of the Sand Hidden Ninja.
If people from two groups and two countries and regions suddenly merge and live together, there will inevitably be contradictions, big and small.
In this regard, the high-level Konoha who had already pre-eucalyptus was dealt with in a very timely manner.
The integration of Sand Hide into Konoha is not only the beginning of a new era, but also a business card to show to the outside world.
Iwakuin, Mistin, Yuyin, and Yunyin, the ninjas and high-level leaders of these ninja villages, are all paying attention to Konoha's movements, and they are all watching if Konoha can treat everyone fairly as promised by the yellow ape.
So far, in the three days since the Sand Hidden Ninja came to Konoha, Konoha has performed very well.
Housing was allocated, children were arranged to study, and the villagers of Shayin, who had a skill, were also introduced to suitable jobs.
The only problem may be that there are only some ninjas in the sand and hidden, because the demand for clan land is large, so they can only be arranged on the periphery of Konoha Village.
Of course, Konoha also gave some compensation for this, such as the right to sell the products of the scientific research institute, and perhaps the right of first refusal to invest in new projects.
After several years of development, the Konoha Research Institute has made a name for itself among the high-level members of the ninja world, and the projects of the scientific research institute are difficult to find as long as they reach the stage of speech fundraising.
For this compensation of Konoha, the ninja clan of Sand Hidden is very satisfied, and it can even be said that it is a big surprise.
Compared to the stupid nobles of the Land of Wind, the atmosphere on Konoha's side, as well as the attributes of the same class, made the ninjas of Sand Hidden very satisfied.
Now, the Sand Hidden Ninja who came to Konoha has all changed into Konoha forehead guards, and there is no twist and reluctance in their hearts, but many people have sent letters to their friends who are still staying in Sand Hidden Village.
The general content of the letter can basically be summed up in one sentence, Konoha is good! Come on!
In this way, as time passed, the situation in the village and the country became more and more stable, and the situation could be described as very good.
"Yellow Ape, someone from the Chamber of Commerce is looking for us?"
The yellow ape, who was called to the office by someone from the door, heard the voice of the door as soon as he pushed the door in.
"Chamber of Commerce? Talking about cooperation? This kind of thing, you just decide directly, grandpa on the front. Smiling, he stepped forward, and the yellow ape said.
"It's something more important!" He stopped what he was doing and looked up at the yellow ape with a serious expression.
Reading the importance of the matter from the expression on the door, the yellow ape restrained his smile, pulled up the wooden chair on the side, and sat on the right side of the desk.
"This chamber of commerce is not an ordinary chamber of commerce, it is a joint chamber of commerce composed of all money banks, who have cooperated with daimyo and nobles in the past and have the right to print money. Now that the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind are in our hands, they can't sit still. ”
"What do they mean?"
"I hope it stays as it is, let's give them the right to print money."
With his fingers pressed against each other, the yellow ape smiled meaninglessly.
Some businessmen want to grasp the country's right to print money? Who do you think you are?
"The right to print money must be taken back, it is the economic lifeblood of a country and cannot be controlled by private individuals." The yellow ape said resolutely.
"That's what I mean, too." "However, we are short of economic talents now, and if we take it back now, it will cause a lot of turmoil." ”
After pondering for a while, the yellow ape gave an idea, "Dig people!" There will always be long-term visionaries in the managers of these banks and banks, and they should know that now is the best time to join us. ”
Poaching people is also a helpless move, and Konoha is an armed group, and the talent pool can be described as very comprehensive. However, as a ruling group, the reserve of talents is very biased, and more people are needed to join.
"Recently, there have been a lot of people who have taken refuge in us, most of them are the children of some down-and-out nobles and businessmen who have read books, and I asked the intelligence interrogation force to do an investigation and political trial, and most of them have innocent backgrounds and are worth using."
"That's a good thing! We are now in urgent need of manpower, as long as there are talents, who sincerely join us, they can use it with confidence. In this world, in the final analysis, force is still king, as long as the power is in your hands, even if there are some people with ulterior motives, they are just mantis arms as cars, and there will be no big trouble! ”
In the world of the Hokage, the power is concentrated in the individual, and the yellow ape does not have to worry about the instability of power and the problem of his subordinates becoming bigger.
To put it bluntly, even if all the ninjas betrayed the yellow ape, he was confident that he would suppress all the rebellions by himself.
"I'm going to do more to promote them." He promised.
After speaking, he looked at the yellow ape, and the conversation changed and talked about private matters.
"Yellow Ape, you're almost fifteen this year, aren't you?"
The yellow ape, who didn't pay attention to his age for a long time and regarded himself as an adult, calculated in his heart and replied loudly: "It's almost there." ”
"Tsunade will be twenty-eight this year, why don't you wait for the merger of the two countries to be completely completed, and then prepare for the wedding!" Speaking of this, a smile appeared on the door.
Touching his head, the yellow ape never expected that after he crossed over, he would be in the world of the Hokage, at this age, he would be urged to marry.
"This.... Don't wait! I want to completely unify this continent and complete the three-year contract with Madara Uchiha, and then prepare a grand wedding for Tsunade! As he spoke, the yellow ape observed the expression on the door.
sighed, and persuaded earnestly in a serious voice: "My eldest brother and I will go back sooner or later." We hope to see you and Tsunade's children before we leave. ”
"Hahaha! What a hurry! I'm only fifteen years old! After a few dry laughs, the yellow ape made an excuse and said.
Looking up and down at the yellow ape, I really wanted to ask, you look like this, embarrassed to say that you are only fifteen years old?
Besides, you and Tsunade don't go home at night, I really don't know?
When you are doing things, why don't you say that you are only fifteen years old?
"You decide for yourselves!" Descendants have their own descendants, and the yellow ape wants to wait for another two and a half years, so let's wait! Anyway, he and his eldest brother are already dead, so they don't care about this time.
After some small talk, Yellow Ape left the Hokage's office, and his main job now is to go to the grassroots level, in front of the Konoha villagers, as well as the former Shayin villagers, to brush up more favor!
Two days later, in the hot spring town of Yuno Kuni, a high-end private hot spring club, a meeting belonging to wealthy businessmen was held here.
"Konoha refused our request! They will take back our right to print money after three months. ”
"Do a bunch of ninjas know what an economy is? Give them the right to print money, and the current currency will just turn into a pile of waste paper. ”
"Do you want to teach them a lesson?"
"Those ninjas don't know what the economy is? But they know what it means to kill, they are not stupid, as long as there is a problem with the economy, we are their target! ”
"Why did they kill people without evidence?"
"Poof! Anji, you idiot! Do you think it's still the past? Look at those nobles, look at the former Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Fire Country, will Konoha tell the evidence? They can kill all of us if they want to! ”
"Country tree! Put away your face! If there's a good way to do it, say it! The owner of the money bank, named Anji, slapped the table excitedly.
"If you want me to say, if Konoha wants to take back the right to print money, then give it back to them, they don't have the talent in this area, and when they really start to take over, they will naturally find out the difficulties. At that point, we can take the opportunity to offer cooperation. Speaking of this, the wealthy businessman named Xiangshu stopped, looked at the members of the Chamber of Commerce present, and showed sincerity.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in the past, we were just tools for the nobles to make money. Now, Konoha has abolished the aristocracy and announced that it will build a new country as equals, isn't this an opportunity for us? We are now using the right to print money as a springboard to take refuge in Konoha, and we will definitely be able to occupy a high position in Konoha's financial department in the future. ”
After Xiang Shu's words were finished, it caused others to think, the merchants present were all smart people, and their combined worth almost occupied one-fifth of the wealth of this continent.
In the past, no matter how hard they worked, they could not become real nobles and gain power at the top.
But now it's different, Konoha has abolished the aristocracy and preached the equality of everyone, regardless of their origin, and selects officials based on their talents, isn't this kind of national system exactly what everyone wants?
With enough money and enough talent, if everyone joins Konoha at this time, maybe there is really hope to enter the ruling class and gain power at the top.
"Konoha has such great ambitions, what if they don't just want to take the right to print money, but also want to take our money?" Angie retorted.
"If Konoha really wants to take our money, do you think you can still sit here now?" Xiangshu asked rhetorically.
"Maybe they're investigating our assets, just like they were investigating the nobles." Angie emphasized her point.
His words did have a great impact, making many businessmen look worried.
Noticing the change in the expressions of the others, Xiangshu hurriedly said, "I have dealt with the people of Konoha, what they want to build is a new country in order, as long as we abide by the law and follow the policies they have formulated, our personal property will be protected by them." The fourth generation Hokage of Konoha said a sentence that I think is very interesting. ”
Xiang Shu's words once again drew everyone's attention to himself.
"He said that private property is sacrosanct!"
As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately aroused the recognition of the businessmen present.
"The fourth generation Hokage said this sentence too well!"
"If those nobles had understood this, they would have ended up in the fields they are today."
"If Konoha can really insist on implementing this sentence, I am willing to take refuge in Konoha."
In the past, these wealthy merchants had to cooperate with the nobles and open up business, and they had to be careful to guard against the nobles and prevent them from taking away their own property, which can be said to be very tiring.
Now, if Konoha can really insist on the sanctity of private property as the four generations of Hokage Yellow Ape said, then for everyone, this new country dominated by Konoha is simply a paradise for businessmen.
This sentence is just a colloquial sentence, and what is the binding force? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the four generations of Hokage abide by their words, after he retires, will the new Hokage still abide by it? Angie asked rhetorically.
"Konoha is working on a new code, and this sentence will be written in the constitution at the heart of the code." Smiling, Xiangshu replied.
"I think you were bought by Konoha's people, and it wouldn't be any good for you to help them say so much, right?" The questions raised were blocked by Xiangshu answering them one by one, and Anji stopped talking about things, but began to attack people.
"I did have some cooperation with Konoha and they were eager to find talent and showed respect for us as merchants." Keep smiling, Xiang Shu said decently.
After speaking, looking at Anji, who was a little angry, Xiangshu countered lightly: "It's you, Anji!" I've heard from the people of Konoha that they found out that someone in the Chamber of Commerce has a private connection with some exiled aristocratic forces, and this person can't be you, right? You can't drag the entire Chamber of Commerce into the water! Let's all be enemies in Konoha's eyes and give them a handle against us. ”
"You!" Anji, who was demolished, stood up in annoyance and anger, raised his hand and pointed to the village tree sitting firmly in Diaoyutai.
"Ho ho ho! Don't get so excited! Opening the folding fan, putting it in front of his mouth, and chuckling, Xiangshu looked at the business rival with whom he had always competed with him.
"Angie! Is what the village tree said true? Have you forgotten our previous decision? The president of the Chamber of Commerce, an old man over seventy years old, asked in a deep voice without anger.
After discovering that the five ninja villages began to target the nobles and wanted to seek power and usurp the throne, a meeting was held within the Chamber of Commerce, and at that meeting, everyone unanimously agreed to maintain neutrality and make peace between the two sides.
Later, after the nobles showed their decline and the ninjas' victory was visible to the naked eye, the Chamber of Commerce made another decision to abandon the nobility and turn to the ninja group.
If Anji really went behind the back of the Chamber of Commerce, privately contacted the exiled nobles, and even reached cooperation, it would be a betrayal of the mother's doubt, and it would be expelled from the Chamber of Commerce and banned in the entire financial industry.
"Elder, I didn't mean to contact the nobles! It was they who took the initiative to find me, and they now have a secret weapon in their hands, and they have the hope of defeating the ninja of Konoha in one fell swoop. They promised that only we would support them now, and when we defeated Konoha and regained the country, they were willing to grant us the status of nobility, the kind of true nobility and fiefdom. Anji didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said frankly.
I have already reached a cooperation with the exiled nobles, and if I am abandoned by the Chamber of Commerce at this time and report it to Konoha, then everything will be over.
Even if those nobles really defeated the ninjas of Konoha in the future, those ninjas were fully capable of getting rid of their own supporters of the exiled nobles before they were defeated.
"Secret weapon? What weapons? Konoha is now the strongest in the ninja world, with two generations of ninja gods in charge. These two adults are both existences that destroy one country by one person, just with those nobles, what qualifications do they have to defeat Konoha? "The president of the Chamber of Commerce has a lot of information about Konoha, and he can't imagine that those exiled nobles who have been defeated have the confidence to challenge Konoha again?
Glancing at the village tree who might have fallen to Konoha, and then at the dissatisfied looks of the others, as well as the scrutinizing gaze of the president, Anji hesitated for a moment and chose to deal with the truth.
"Those nobles got in touch with a faction in Caoyin Village, and they revealed that Caoyin Village was in possession of a secret treasure left by the Six Dao Immortals, called the Box of Bliss. As long as you can open that chest, you can make any wish come true. ”
"The Box of Bliss? Is there really such a magical treasure in the world? Whether it was the president or the others, they all expressed their doubts, and the village tree was directly amused and laughed.
"It's recorded in the history books preserved by the Fire Country, and the Grass Hidden Village almost got the whole world through this box before." Angie said eagerly.
Falling into silence, the chairman thought for a long time and made a decision.
"Anji, you continue to keep in touch with those nobles."
Hearing the president's words, Anji breathed a sigh of relief, her face showed joy, and she looked at the village tree proudly.
The hand holding the folding fan stiffened, and Xiangshu kept a smile on his face and looked at the president.
"Goshu, you also continue to keep in touch with Konoha and tell them about the Box of Bliss."
"Grow up!" Angie was anxious again.
Raising his hand to stop Anji, the president continued, "Tell Konoha that we are cooperating with the exiled nobles just to find out their information. Angie contacted them privately in order to gather information. ”
No longer speaking, Anji sat down reassuringly, he knew that the president's move was still for the sake of betting on both ends, but he was more inclined to Konoha ninjas.
"Leave it to me! Grow up! Putting the folding fan away, he replied with a smile as he heard that the president was leaning more towards Konoha and the village tree.
