"This represents the dawn of a new era!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said.

By the time Atsushi Konoe arrived at the shogunate with the original edict from the Daimyo, the Uchiha Tokumitsu had already ordered the withdrawal of the ninja army occupying the Daimyo's Mansion and carefully arranged for the samurai of the Harafu Army captured during the siege to maintain order in the city.

"The ...... of Peace Forever"

Although Atsushi Konoe didn't quite understand what the "new era" that Uchiha Tokumitsu was referring to, he still echoed it very face-savingly.

This round of negotiations also allowed Konoe Atsushi to be promoted again, and the result of the negotiations was far above the bottom line set by the daimyo ministers, so he was immediately promoted to the dainayan after returning to the temporary residence of the daimyo in the land of water, so he was already the most popular nobleman among the daimyo ministers.

But in front of Uchiha Tokumitsu, Atsushi Konoe still maintains just the right amount of self-restraint, neither showing hostility nor being too flattering.

"Peace is precious, but it is also war that promotes the development of the ninja world."

Uchiha Tokumitsu casually peddled the fallacies of his previous life: "The ancestors did their best to study weapons, combat techniques, and ninjutsu in order to be able to kill their fellow kind more efficiently, and the history of the ninja world was also developed and even sublimated in killing......"

"I didn't expect General Tokumitsu to have such a unique insight into the history of the ninja world......"

Atsushi Konoe laughed dryly, feeling a little creepy, so he quickly changed the topic: "But the southern archipelago is a secular land after all, how does General Tokumitsu plan to govern it?" ”

In the inherent consciousness of the nobles, ninjas who specialize in killing people are not good at handling chores, and if ninjas are allowed to rule the commoners directly, it will inevitably cause misery, and this is what the nobles have consistently preached to ninjas and commoners.

Nowadays, even many ninjas believe in this unwarranted fallacy.

"If General Deguang needs it, I can still recommend you a few experienced political officials, and I will definitely help you govern the Southern Islands~"

Atsushi Konoe was very enthusiastic.

"As the saying goes, governing a big country is like cooking a small meal, and the southern archipelago has just experienced a war, so you just need to pay a little bit of money and rest with the people."

Uchiha Tokumitsu doesn't mind explaining his philosophy of governance to others, and even the insatiable nobles who play cards can't learn it anyway.

"All I need to do is enact laws, maintain law and order, punish the wicked, and the rest is nothing more than collecting taxes on time."

"This ...... The water people have a stubborn temperament, and General Deguang is better to be cautious......"

Atsushi Konoe understood what Uchiha Tokumitsu meant, but he could only be perfunctory, and he didn't dare to comment on it at all.

"For the common people, as long as the nobles don't toss around, it is the best way in the world, such a simple request, the shogunate will definitely meet them~"

Uchiha Tokumitsu's key spirit began to burn again.

"If they pay enough taxes, I wouldn't mind opening a council for them so that the people have more autonomy......

The more Uchiha Tokumitsu spoke, the more Atsushi Konoe listened, the more frightened he became.

If Uchiha Tokumitsu's set of governance ideas is really feasible, then what use are the nobles?!

If the ninjas can receive high taxes on their own, then the daimyo's restraint on the ninja village will no longer exist!

This is a major event that completely shakes the system of one country and one village!

"No wonder General Tokuguang said it was the arrival of a new era......

Atsushi Konoe laughed dryly, his heart as heavy as going to the grave.

Uchiha Tokumitsu also noticed that something was wrong with Atsushi Konoe, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled.

This is not just nonsense, but a way to show the ministers and nobles of the Land of Water what their interests are, and to warn them to stop trying to lay eggs in the southern islands.

After sending off Atsushi Knoe, Sanshoyu Hanzo also came to talk with Uchiha Tokumitsu.

"Mr. Hanzo is going back?"

After hearing Hanzo's request, Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little surprised.

"Hanzo-san, are you dissatisfied with the employment gratuity? If that's the case, it's not impossible for us to talk about it~"

Although Uchiha Tokumitsu paid a huge amount of money to hire Sanshoyu Hanzo, in the battle of the Fog Hide, due to the unexpectedly smooth offensive of the shogunate ninja army, Sanshoyu Hanzo only had two chances to make a move throughout the whole process.

In terms of work intensity and return income, Sanshoyu Hanzo is undoubtedly a big profit.

"Now that the war is over, and I've been away from the village for months, it's time to go back......

Sanshoyu Hanzo said sincerely: "But as far as the matter is concerned, General Tokumitsu's hiring of Rain Ninja to participate in the war did give Rain Ninja Village a chance to turn over......

In addition to the mercenary honorarium, the seventy percent of the trophies left by the Uchiha Tokumitsu Yunyu Shinobi also made the rain shinobi who participated in the war earn a lot of money.

Coupled with the free reloading of the ninja army equipment, the rain ninja at least has a new image, and there is no longer the feeling of scattered soldiers in the past.

"That's true, Mr. Hanzo really needs to go back and rebuild the Rain Ninja Village......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu also understood what Sanshoyu Hanzo meant: "If there is a need for supplies, you can directly say to the Fire Gate Commander of the Northwest Border Defense Force, and the Uchiha clan can help Yunin procure." ”

"That would be the case."

Sansho fish Hanzo also responded.

With the Second Ninja World War, the Uchiha clan is fighting in the east and west, coupled with the smuggling network, the Uchiha clan's power has gradually covered all parts of the ninja world, at least it is much easier to buy all kinds of materials than the besieged rain ninja.

"The Rain Ninja Army is also planning to withdraw, right?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu then asked.

If more than 1,000 rain ninjas returned to the village at one time, then the shogunate's ninja army control might be empty.

"I'm going to take three hundred people back to the village this time, what do you think?"

Although Sanshoyu Hanzo also had the intention to bring back the ninjas under his command so as not to be assimilated by the shogunate, he was still reluctant to give up this rare opportunity to earn foreign exchange after all.

"No problem."

Uchiha Tokumitsu immediately agreed, "Then I'll arrange for personnel to settle the military expenses!" ”

……

After sending off Hanzo, Uchiha Tokumitsu slowly thought about his next plan.

As the saying goes, the backers will fall, everyone will run, and the most reliable must be their own people.

But the Uchiha clan is not a clan that pops out of a stone, and it takes time to grow up and become a talent.

And what Uchiha Tokumitsu lacks most is time.

It takes time for the family's power to grow, it takes time for the various factions under its command to integrate, and it also takes time for the strength of individuals to increase.

And the most important thing is naturally personal strength.

Especially after fighting with the three generations of Mizukage, Uchiha Tokumitsu has a deep understanding.

Although it seems that a battle is easy, if it weren't for the Sanshoyu Hanzo as the main force to resist thunder, Uchiha Tokumitsu would not have been able to trap the three generations of Mizukage so easily.

But this battle also reminded Uchiha Tokumitsu that it is not advisable to indulge in conspiracy, and the ninja world is a cruel world that speaks by force after all, and conspiracy may be able to win for a while, but not for a lifetime.

In particular, Madara Uchiha, who controls three generations of Mizukage, is a notoriously moody person, and maybe one day he will turn his face and flip the table, which is the deadliest.

"By the way, it's almost harvest season......

Uchiha Tokumitsu touched the seal scroll he was carrying.

One of the scrolls sealed a precious white corpse......

Coupled with the fact that they have spent so much money in the Vortex Research Institute and Orochimaru's laboratory, it is also time for them to come up with some achievements in return.

Uchiha Tokumitsu's requirements are not high, as long as he can refine white absolute cells to improve his physique, as for the legendary Mu Dun...... If you win, you will be lucky, and if you lose, you will die, but there is no need to force it.

Besides, a white corpse alone can't activate Mu Dun.

"Mu Dun...... Danzo ...... Orochimaru ......"

As soon as he thought of Mu Dun, Uchiha Tokumitsu immediately remembered the so-called "Mu Dun Restart Plan......

"I have to find a time to go back to the village to blackmail Orochimaru, maybe I can explode gold coins......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu summoned the attendant ninja and ordered him to convene a meeting of the various ministries in charge of the shinobi.

Before returning to the village, it is still necessary to arrange the defense areas of each department.

……

"Thanks to the brave battles of the princes, the shogunate will be able to seize the territory of the southern archipelago!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said at the Shogunate's military council.

The people who are responsible for the forbearance are also all holding their heads high and having honor.

"The southern archipelago will be the pure land of ninjas, and it will also be the foundation for the future development and growth of the shogunate!"

In the current jurisdiction of the Tokuko Shogunate, the eight eastern prefectures of the Fire Country can only exert influence, the old land of the Vortex Country is the base camp of the Shogunate, the Wave Country is just a logistics base, and the southern archipelago of the Water Country has sufficient population and resources.

Population and resources represent sustainable monetary income.

"In recognition of the military exploits of the various ministries, the following are hereby appointed—"

"The southern archipelago is divided into three major defense areas, and the three Guiyi clans of the Zhengyi column are responsible for garrisoning them!"

"Die for the Lord!"

Ghost Lantern, Water No Moon, Kazuya and other original fog hidden ninjas immediately got up and knelt down on one knee.

"The southern archipelago is the foundation of the shogunate, and you are familiar with waterway transportation, and I hope that all the kings will work together to defend the territory."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said gently.

Later, Uzumaki Kazue was summoned and issued them with customs and defense tokens one by one.

As the saying goes, those who have a very permanent birth have perseverance, and the defense zone divided is not only a reward for the ninjas of the three clans, but also a cage that binds them.

Even if the fog hidden side tried to rebel in the future, they would not be able to give Uchiha Tokumitsu such a generous increase.

"The governance of the Southern Islands is to be filled by the ninja clans, and all duties are arranged according to the talents of the appointed personnel of each family."

This is the reward for participating in the war for each family, and it is also one of the means to balance the three clans of the Fog Hidden Guiyi.

"Obey orders!"

Kurama, Shiranui, and other ninja ninjas who were close to them stood up one after another in response.

"As for the taxes, they are managed by the United Fisheries Company, and the salaries of the garrison ninjas and government ninjas are also directly calculated from the taxes."

Uchiha Tokumitsu's gaze fell on Shuhiro Hinata who was sitting in the back row, "Shuhiro Shangshinobi, how about you take on this matter for the time being?" ”

"Huh?!"

Hinata Shuhiro was stunned.

He never thought that he, as a Hyuga family subject to others, would one day be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, and he was a little at a loss for a while.

"Lord Tokumitsu...... I ......"

He didn't know what to say.

"Relax, it's okay, just do it with your heart, and I will also appoint another subordinate to assist you."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said gently.

“…… Yes, sir! ”

Hinata Shuhiro struggled to calm his mind and thanked the Uchiha Tokumitsu with an impeccable standard chest stroke.

The reason why Shuhiro Hinata was appointed as the head of the tax authority was also because Uchiha Tokumitsu still had some thoughts about the Hyuga family; And this move is also equivalent to buying horse bones for a thousand dollars, even if you can't win over the Hyuga family, it's good to be able to divide some Hyuga families for your own use.

What's more, the tax authorities also have officials sent by Uchiha Tokumitsu to handle general affairs, and the significance of Hinata's reign is more to act as a mascot and weather vane, so you don't have to worry about what kind of basket will come out.

As a result, the shogunate's system of control over the southern islands was basically released, and the three major organs of power, military, government, and taxation were separated from each other and checked and balanced each other.

As for the Uchiha clan and the Uzumaki clan, the two clans are the foundation of Uchiha Tokumitsu, and there is no need to give rewards on such occasions, so as not to attract the eyes of others.

“…… The arrangement of the southern islands of the shogunate is basically the same, please fulfill your duties and make meritorious deeds! ”

"Die for the Lord!"

Ghost Lantern Masahiko was the first to stand up and echoed loudly.

"Die for the Lord!"

The Kamito stood up in unison and offered their loyalty to the Uchiha Tokumitsu.

Next, it's time to return to Konoha and continue fighting......

Uchiha Tokumitsu's eyes were gloomy.
