Chapter 79: Finding the Vortex Clan
For the next four months, Ayaten focused on the construction of the Fog Hidden Village.
And construction is inseparable from economic support, so the first thing he did was to stimulate the economic growth of the village.
Before the action, he checked the village's financial reports for the past few years.
Before the start of the "Third Ninja War", the annual GDP of the village was about 12 billion, but after the war, it gradually fell to 10 billion.
This seems to be a lot of drops, but it's actually less than other ninja villages.
According to the grapevine, in the past few years of the war, the GDP of Konoha Village has fallen by nearly 10 billion!
At first, Ayaten wondered why there was such a big gap between the two villages, but when he continued to flip back and saw the economic structure of Wuyin Village, he immediately understood.
To put it simply, the economic structure of Wuyin Village is very simple.
There are two main sources of income, namely the appropriation of the Daimyo of the Water Nation and the entrusted income of the ninjas.
Such a structure is really not a problem for an armed group like Ninja Village, and it will not affect the operation of the village too much in wartime.
But the problem is that in peacetime, it is difficult for the village's economy to grow.
In this regard, Ayaten's idea is to lead Wuyin Village to develop its own characteristic industries and open up new economic growth points.
However, most industries require long-term planning, and the only ones that can be effective in the short term are fisheries.
Ever since he visited the capital of the Fire Nation, he has been very optimistic about the development of the village's fishing industry.
For this reason, he also investigated the way the countries on the mainland transported seafood, and found that they really hired ninjas to transport it.
Although the legs and feet of ninjas can catch up with thousands of horses, they are not as good as the cold chain transportation of modern society after all.
By the time the seafood is shipped inland, it is no longer fresh.
As for why the ninja world has not developed cold chain transportation, Ayaten also did an investigation and found that it was mainly due to the perennial war.
Nowadays, the ninja world does not even have the most basic rail transportation and road transportation, let alone cold chain transportation.
Combined with this situation, Ayaten immediately thought of the Yuki clan in the village.
If they were allowed to freeze the seafood they had just caught and then transport it to the mainland countries for sale, wouldn't it be possible to quickly occupy the markets of various countries?
So Ayaten immediately came to the Snow Clan to discuss the matter with them.
The negotiation process went very smoothly.
As soon as the elders of the Snow Clan heard that they could make money by casting "Ice Escape" on the dockside, they agreed to this matter without even thinking about it.
It is not only the Snow Family who have become rich because of the fishing industry, but also some of the middle and lower ninjas who are good at "water escape" ninjutsu have also joined the fishing ranks, earning a lot of extra money for themselves.
As for how to sell seafood, it is, of course, through the Land of Fire.
A trade agreement had been signed between the two sides at the time of the armistice, so the seafood could be sold in the Fire Nation in a fair and honest manner.
In order to expand the audience, Ayaten also specially divided high-end products and low-end products.
The high-end ones are sold at high prices to those noble and wealthy families, and the low-end ones enter the civilian market at a more reasonable price.
In the future, when the seafood gradually opens up the markets of various countries, they will definitely make a lot of money.
In addition to focusing on the development of fisheries, Ayaten did not let go of agriculture.
According to the data, Wuyin Village had never developed agriculture before, and all staple food depended on the daimyo for supply.
As a Celestial Empire who writes farming into his bones, Ayaten can't accept that food is controlled by others.
He wants to achieve self-sufficiency in all kinds of agricultural products.
Considering that there were no usable seeds in the village, he immediately purchased a large number of seeds through the black market.
It happened to be the season of spring ploughing, so Ayaten gathered all the shinobi in the village.
Instead of letting them waste their time doing those boring D-class tasks, it is better to be honest and help him farm.
Subsequently, under the command of Ayaten.
Some ninjas who have learned "soil escape" are mainly responsible for turning the soil, sowing seeds, applying fertilizer, etc., while the rest of the ninjas who can "water escape" are responsible for farm work such as watering.
Now, four months later, all the crops planted are growing well.
The majority of the rice is close to maturity and is expected to be harvested normally next month.
Once the village is fully self-sufficient, they will be able to cope with the situation no matter how it changes in the future.
Of course, in the past four months, Ayaten has not only focused on the primary industry of the village, but also the reconstruction of the country of Vortex has also been put on his agenda.
Normally, if you want to clean up the ruins and complete the reconstruction, it can be considered a big project.
But when the ninjas entered, things became simpler.
Under the call of Ayaten's money, the idle ninjas in the village rushed to the country of Vortex to carry out reconstruction work in full swing.
With the help of everyone.
Not only has the ruins of the Vortex Nation been cleared, but a new village has been built in its core.
Although the scale of the village is still relatively small, it can only be regarded as an overseas base in the fog.
But after that, as the Fog Hidden Village continues to develop, the Vortex Country base will presumably continue to expand.
Sooner or later, it will become the second hometown of the villagers of Wuyin.
.……
On this day, in Mizukage's office, the "Ninja Sword Seven" gathered together.
"Mizukage-sama, I wonder what you summoned us for?"
Facing the questions of the seven, Aya Tianyu smiled and said:
"Now that the country of Vortex has been largely rebuilt, the only problem is that there are too few inhabitants there.
"In addition to continuing to relocate residents from the village, I think it is also necessary to bring in residents from the outside world, such as bringing back the indigenous people of the Vortex Country~"
The seven of them were slightly startled when they heard this, and then the watermelon mountain puffer ghost asked:
"Mizukage-sama, do you mean you want the Uzumaki clan to return to the Vortex Country?"
Ayaten nodded:
"Well, the Vortex Clan's unique physique, I believe you don't need me to say it, you understand.
"If we can let the survivors return to the Vortex Country and integrate into us, my Fog Hide's strength will definitely rise to another level!"
The idea of recruiting the Uzumaki clan had already been in place since Ayaten and Konoha were negotiating an armistice.
In his opinion, the people of the Vortex Clan are all treasures.
He couldn't understand why Konoha didn't take in the survivors.
As for whether he can find the wandering Vortex people, Ayaten is still relatively confident.
Although there are only a few Vortex people who appeared in the original time and space.
But Ayaten believes that there must be other survivors hidden in all corners of the ninja world.
Moreover, there are still more than ten years before the beginning of the original space-time plot, and there will definitely be more survivors of the Vortex people at this moment.
Ayaten's requirements are not high, ten, as long as he can find ten Uzumaki people, he will be satisfied.
When the time comes, let them be energetic and energetic.
I believe that it should not be a problem to develop to a scale of 100 people after more than ten years.
