Chapter 150: The Beginning of the Shadows
What makes Uchiha Tokumitsu happiest is that there is no financial regulator of any kind in Konoha or even in the ninja world.
Although on the surface, all the major countries in the ninja world have their own money banks and issue corresponding currencies, and perform businesses such as deposits, remittances, and loans, they are particularly backward in terms of financial derivatives, and the regulatory system is impossible to talk about.
As the current largest ninja village, Konoha is naturally close to zero in terms of financial application; As the No. 1 military contractor in the ninja world, even the ninja village is funded by the daimyo's appropriation and the ninja mission's commission, and even the reason for the war between the ninja villages is to grab the task share, which is simply a big joke in the world!
Of course, it is precisely this vacuum in the financial market that has created an excellent opportunity for Uchiha Tokumitsu to harvest and trap people with impunity.
Moreover, as a son of a wealthy family, Uchiha Deguang has a power organization like the Ministry of Police under his command, and the super force of the Uchiha clan as a guarantee, so he is not worried at all that those leeks dare to turn their faces and turn the stage.
……
Three days later, Qimu Shuomao was finally busy with the work at hand, and took the initiative to visit the new station of the Eastern Border Defense Force with a full stomach.
Naturally, Uchiha Tokumitsu is also very happy to communicate with his allies.
"Deguangjun, the bond turmoil seems to be getting bigger and bigger......"
After the usual small talk and nonsense, Sakumo Hagi took the initiative to bring up the topic.
This is exactly what Uchiha Tokumitsu was looking forward to, otherwise he would not have let the family members start spreading all kinds of rambling rumors so quickly.
"I've heard of it, but rest assured, the war bonds issued by the Uchiha clan are very safe."
But fishing still has to be patient after all, so Uchiha Tokumitsu just replied seemingly blandly.
"The Uchiha clan...... How much has been issued? ”
Qimu Shuomao subconsciously lowered his voice and asked.
Recently, the ninja who found him for help generally increased the amount of two to five times on the basis of the white slip issued by the village, and now that the fog and hidden war has come to an end, and the time for the payment of the white strip has not yet been determined, but the rumors within Konoha about the imminent thunderstorm of the ninja bond have reached his ears.
It was also because of this that Sakumo Hachiki knew that the so-called "bond" made by the Uchiha clan was actually played so big by other ninja clans.
"One point five times."
Uchiha Tokumitsu replied very honestly.
This is also the latest information learned during the letterhead exchange with the patriarch Uchiha Quartet.
And before leaving the village to fight, Uchiha Tokumitsu's entrustment of the over-issuance amount must not exceed 20% of the total value, that is, 1.2 times.
But it is clear that in the face of the huge amount of money that has swelled in the short term, the Uchiha Quartet has failed to keep its bottom line.
But fortunately, although the bottom line has been broken, the degree of breakthrough is not large, and the original bottom line needs to be adjusted further.
"The other ninja clans may not be the same......"
After sighing, Sakushige Hagi picked up his teacup.
"yes, that's not ......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu also sighed, and then picked up the teapot to refill the cup for Hachiki Sakumo.
One thing to say, Hachiki Shuomao has been the leader of the ninja class for a while, and his level of speaking has indeed improved, but not much.
Hagi moved a little uncomfortably on the futon.
He didn't know if Uchiha Tokumitsu understood his intentions.
"The ninja bond, it may be related to Konoha's credit in the ninja world......"
After a while, Qimu Shuo Mao said.
"Yes, you're right."
Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded, then pointed to the cup and said, "Please have tea." ”
Qimu Shuomao had no choice but to pick up the teacup as well.
"How's the tea?"
The Uchiha asked very kindly with a smile on his face.
"It's good, the fragrance is just right......"
Qimu Shuomao didn't understand tea, but he couldn't say it directly, so he had to simply compound a few words.
"Of course, this is a good tea from the top of the mountains of the country of vortex, after the war, there are only more than ten thousand-year-old trees left."
Uchiha Tokumitsu introduced with great interest, "This is the most precious tea, but in the past, it was only available to the Uzumaki patriarch and some daimyo nobles. ”
"Yes......"
Hachiki Shuomao looked at the seemingly ordinary tea soup in the cup, and then took another sip.
It feels like the free tea of the barbecue Q with added sugar, and it doesn't seem to be anything special......
"The hot spring of the ten is charming, the drink is sweet, and the nectar is ......fragrant," Uchiha Tokumitsu still introduces with great interest, "Even the water used to make this tea is good water, which originates from the mountains and merges into a lake......
"Deguang-kun!"
Sakumo Hachiki had to interject to interrupt Uchiha Tokumitsu's introduction, otherwise the topic at the beginning would not know where to go.
"You know, I came here for another purpose......"
"Shuo Maojun, it's okay to say something straight, we're allies......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't care either, gently pushed away the teacup, folded his hands on the table and said with a smile, "What?" Do you think our alliance is getting in need of polite words to go around in circles? ”
"This ...... Nature is not ......"
Sakushige Hachiki was immediately embarrassed by Uchiha Tokumitsu's undisguised 'sincerity'.
Sure enough, sincerity is the biggest nirvana.
"I just think...... I think it might be a bit hard to talk about......"
"The Uchiha's ninja army has fought for you so many times, what else is there to be embarrassed about."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said disappreciatively.
Sakushige felt even more embarrassed.
"Then I'll just say it!"
Hagi Shuomao gritted his teeth and decided to put his head down.
Uchiha Tokumitsu looked at him with encouraging eyes.
But in my heart, I secretly thought: CPU success!
"In addition to the problems of the bonds of many ninja clans in the village, you should know about it......"
"I know, but the Uchiha clan's bonds are absolutely fine!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu said with great certainty.
"If they are willing to hand over the interest in the bonds, are you willing to take over?"
Hachiki Shuo Mao said cautiously.
"Not necessarily ......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu thought for a moment before replying.
"Underfunded?"
"Yes."
Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded in affirmation.
"To tell you the truth, it was the ninja ninjas in the ninja army under my command who found me, hoping to ask Hokage-sama to lift the state of war with Kirigakure as soon as possible and honor the promised white slip, and I only found out about this after inquiring about the reason......"
Hachiki Sakumo said with some sorrow: "The ninjas are very worried about the payment of the white strips in the village......
"Indeed, and it seems that there is no way to get compensation from Wuyin."
Uchiha Tokumitsu also said very bluntly.
Fog Hidden and Konoha face each other across the sea, even if they are defeated in the Ninja Continent, they only need to leave, but it is difficult for Konoha to organize the ninja army to fight the local threat of the Land of Water to the Fog Hidden Village to sign the alliance under the castle.
"But the ninjas ask the village to honor the promised materials or funds as soon as possible......" Qimu Shuomao took another sip of the teacup: "It's just that the village's financial situation has not been very good......"
"Shuo Mao-kun, as the leader of the upper ninja class, have you ever reviewed the financial statements of the village......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu casually played with the teacup, "How much is the daimyo's appropriation and the village's task commission, and where is it used, have you ever understood these?" ”
"I didn't know ......" Qimu Shuomao was a little stunned when he heard this, "Could it be ...... Deguangjun, do you know the inside story? ”
"I don't know, the village's financial expenditures are not publicized." Uchiha Tokumitsu put down the teacup in his hand, looked directly at Hachiki Sakushige, and said, "Then why do you think that the village is not well funded?" Could it be that it was just a sentence from the white fangs of the insects in the Hokage Building? ”
Sakushige Hagi was even more surprised, and at the same time felt that the door to a new world had been opened.
"You mean ......"
Sakumo had some ideas, but he wasn't sure.
"As the representative of the collective will of the Konoha Shinobi people, the upper ninja class should have the right to know and deliberate on the financial situation of the village."
Uchiha Tokumitsu Masasei said: "Otherwise, we don't know whether the use of the village's development funds is reasonable, and how can we be sure that the village's funds are really tight?" ”
Sakumo Hagi was also silent.
Uchiha Tokumitsu was not in a hurry, and after slowly pouring himself a cup of tea, he easily filled it up again.
What he has to do is to let Hachiki Sakumo, a righteous and righteous bird, constantly restrain the power of the Hokage Building in the name of the ninja class.
Moreover, all this was taken by Hachiki Sakumo to come to the door, and Uchiha Tokumitsu simply gave his opinion.
I don't even need to 'interest-related, hidden', it's so comfortable~
Uchiha Tokumitsu took another sip of tea.
In any world, financial power is very important.
Even in this ninja world, where productivity is off track and the economy is very deformed.
The Hokage's power comes from his own strength, the legitimacy of the Hokage's position, and the third is that he has the financial and personnel power of the village.
All Uchiha Tokumitsu needs to do is to make too many benefits for the Uchiha clan while weakening the Hokage's power through various means.
"If the village's funds can be used to pay off the ninja's white slips, then how should the ninja's bond problem be solved?"
Hachiki Sakumo thought for a while, and finally linked the finances of the ninja village with the bonds of the ninja clan.
"The payment of the village's white slips is the village's problem, and the ninja's bond is the ninja's problem, and the two cannot be confused." Uchiha Tokumitsu said indifferently: "Public power and clan power still need to be separated. ”
"That's ...... too"
Qimu Shuomao sighed.
"People's ambition can be infinitely inflated, and if you don't suffer a loss, the ninja will never have a long memory."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said solemnly: "The Inuzuka clan dares to overissue bonds with a limit of five times more than the white stripe, which shows how crazy the interests of the ninja clan are!" ”
"If you ban bonds......
Hachiki Shuomao's first instinct was to strangle this kind of thing from now on.
"The village also has no right to interfere with the ninja's source of funds." Uchiha Tokumitsu hurriedly said: "Besides, even if the bonds are banned, they can still change the name and continue to peddle similar bills in private, which is even more harmful!" ”
"So, how should we resolve the risk of ninja bonds this time?"
Qimu Shuomao is as good as a stream, and takes the initiative to ask for advice,
"The white strips of the village are paid in advance, and the bonds of the ninja are repurchased in advance."
Uchiha Tokumitsu once again repeated the solution he gave to the Inuzuka clan yesterday: "And the Uchiha clan can guarantee some of the ninja clans with good credit and provide advance capital repurchase services." ”
"Of course, there is still a small service fee to be paid for the advance."
Uchiha Tokumitsu gestured with a 'little bit' gesture.
"In this way, it can be regarded as alleviating the urgent needs of the ninja clan......"
Qimu Shuomao estimated in his heart and nodded slowly.
"Of course, it can only be alleviated, the affairs of the ninja clan still have to be solved by the ninja clan, and the village should not interfere, let alone interfere, otherwise the civilian ninjas in the village will have very opinions."
Uchiha Tokumitsu lowered his head to pretend to be tea, trying to hide his uncontrollable smile.
"That's true......"
Qimu Shuomao thought so.
"But how can future bonds avoid repeating the mistakes of the past?"
Qimu Shuomao humbly asked.
"The Uchiha clan can evaluate the ninja bonds with good creditworthiness, issue and sell them on behalf of them according to their fair value, and if there is a risk, the Uchiha clan will promise to repurchase them for them; In this way, the problem of excessive issuance can be avoided again. ”
Uchiha Tokumitsu was also very serious about his advice: "Of course, other ninjas can naturally endorse other people's bonds, as long as everyone is willing to believe in his credibility." ”
It's just that credibility is a very ethereal thing, far less useful than the Uchiha clan's control of the police department and the family's military support.
But in order to hide his true purpose, Uchiha Tokumitsu still had to cover it up with words against his will.
"Thank you Deguangjun for your support!"
Sakumo Hachiki said sincerely: "This matter really embarrassed you......"
"It's okay, after all, it's for the new Konoha in our minds, isn't it?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled.
Hachiki Shuomao nodded.
After Hagi Sakushige left, Uchiha Tokumitsu began to laugh wildly.
Win hemp!
This time it's really a win!
At that time, if all goes well, the upper ninja class controlled by Sakumo Hagi will have one more authority over Konoha's financial deliberations, and the Uchiha consortium he formed will have a monopoly on the evaluation and issuance of Konoha's bonds and other financial derivatives...... It's a beautiful picture!
Moreover, as the first bloodline in the ninja world, the Uchiha clan also has the largest number of upper ninjas, but it is just to cooperate with Hachiki Shuo Shigeru to grasp the authority, so he did not take the initiative to speak out; If someone else takes over as the leader of the upper ninja class in the future and wants to use the authority of the upper ninja class to be unfavorable to the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Tokumitsu can openly mobilize the Uchiha upper ninja to let him understand what is called the right to speak of the upper ninja.
"The road to hegemony of the Wood Fed should start today!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu poured himself another cup of tea.
