Chapter 210: Ninjas and Civilization
Uchiha Tokumitsu's parents, Uchiha Nakagen, and his mother, Emiko, have a lot of complaints about the marriage of the great elder of the moment, not that they think that Uchiha Tokumitsu is going to get engaged and marry at such a young age, nor do they have any opinions about Uchiha Makoto, but they feel that their sense of participation as parents is suddenly much less.
But in an instant, the Great Elder had a way.
He began to care about when Uchiha Nakagen and Emiko were going to have a second child......
Sure enough, the unmarried will be urged to marry, and the married will be urged; Even if they have crossed over, the concepts of marriage and childbearing are still very similar to each other.
……
After a few more days, Uchiha Tokumitsu finally finished his routine work and took the time to make an appointment with Sakumo Hachiki to chat in the office of the deputy chief of the police department.
"Is Deguangjun also ready to get married?"
At first glance, Sakumo Hachiki noticed the ring on the middle finger of Uchiha Tokumitsu's left hand, "It's actually made of chakra metal, it's really rich......"
"It's just an engagement at the moment."
Uchiha Tokumitsu also took a look at the ring on his hand. "This is also a special forbearance that is a little useful~"
This pair of rings was made by her mother, Emiko, and Makoto Uchiha also owns another one.
And Emiko also engraved a sealing rune in it, and as long as you inject chakra into the ring, you can stimulate the dust removal technique in it, which is also a fun little toy.
"So...... The design idea of this ring is not bad~"
After listening to Uchiha Tokumitsu's explanation, Hachiki Sakumo also became interested.
And the so-called dust removal technique is to put it bluntly, it is a combination of the entry wind escape ninjutsu and the sealing technique, although it is impossible to have any use in battle, but it can also bring some convenience to life.
"The nobles can't use it without chakra, the low-level ninjas can't afford to use chakra metal, and the high-level ninjas can't look down on this kind of small toy~"
Uchiha Tokumitsu chuckled: "So it's just a token with special significance~"
"It would be nice if we could develop a life type of ninja that is cheap and can be used without chakra~"
Qimu Shuomao has some regrets.
"Aren't the radio and the communication station?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu said casually.
"This shouldn't be a ...... After all, this is not a ninja tool. ”
Qimu Shuomao thought about it, but still shook his head: "By the way, only those made with ninjutsu are considered ninja tools, right?" ”
"Most of the common ninja tools such as kunai, shuriken, and flying needles are cast by ordinary people, so this is also a ninja tool, right?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu was very unimpressed with Hagi Sakumo's "fundamentalist forbearance theory", "But, Sakumo-kun, why are you struggling with this?" ”
"I'm thinking...... If one day, the daimyo nobles are eliminated, will ninjas be able to rule the world well? ”
Qimu Shuomao hesitated a little: "Of course, most of the nobles are not good people, but at least they maintain the most basic order......
"Are you talking about the so-called "order" of issuing tasks every three or five years to wipe out bandits on a large scale? ”
Uchiha Tokumitsu scoffed at this: "Don't you think that no matter how bad the order is, it's better than no order?" ”
"Pretty much ......"
Qimu Shuomao hesitated.
Although he had some ideas, when he saw Uchiha Tokumitsu's disapproving look, he began to wonder if there was something wrong with his thoughts.
"How, then, can a new order be built without destroying the old one?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu said: "If everything is old-fashioned, then the ninja at this time is still a dog doing dirty work under the hands of the daimyo nobles, where will there be the dominant position in the ninja world today?" ”
Long before the Six Paths Immortals distributed chakra, the ninja was a fighting profession that existed; It's just that the status is extremely low, and it belongs to the bottom of the chain of contempt for warriors.
But it was the ninja who unreservedly accepted the will of the Six Paths Immortals and chose to join the Ninja Sect, and then, after a thousand years of bloody wind and blood in the Warring States, he successfully swept the remnants of the old era such as samurai, priests, monks, and shrine maidens into the garbage heap of history.
But even so, the remnants of the old era still enjoy a special status under the patronage of the daimyo nobility and are seen as a hole card against the ninja forces.
"But isn't this too cruel for ordinary people......
Qimu Shuomao was still a little hesitant.
"By the way, Shuo Maojun, you came to me today, it shouldn't be to talk about this, right?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu resisted the urge to roll his eyes and chose to change the subject.
And the lack of thinking in Hagi Sakushige actually reflects the flaw of ninja education, that is, the serious lack of ideological education and training.
Imagine a person who has been carrying a blade to the battlefield since he was seven or eight years old, and it is strange that he can have the correct three views; In addition, ninja schools are basically based on teaching various efficient killing methods, and in terms of cultural classes, it can only be said that talking is better than nothing, which leads to the lack of self-awareness of ninjas.
Therefore, although the shallow preaching of the Will of Fire was full of mistakes and omissions in the eyes of Uchiha Tokumitsu, it still became the most recognized idea within Konoha.
After all, people still need a little spiritual sustenance.
It's just that the spiritual sustenance or belief of most ninjas can't withstand the dialectical and logical scrutiny of facts.
But because of this, even a strong person like Hachiki Shuomao was easily led astray by an existence like Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was not considered a streamer in the keyboard warrior group in his previous life.
"Yes~"
Hachiki Shuo Mao also reacted.
He also felt a little inexplicable, and he didn't know why he was so easily led off topic in front of Uchiha Tokumitsu.
"How is the governance of the Southern Islands achieved?"
Qimu Shuomao asked humbly.
In his heart, there is still a trace of the stereotype that "only nobles know how to govern the common people, and ninjas can only kill and destroy".
"Under the strict law, the village community is self-governing, and the city intends to adopt a tax package system."
Uchiha Tokumitsu's answer was also very concise and to the point.
"What's the difference with aristocracy?"
Sakushige Kiki continued to humbly ask for advice.
"The garrison ninja army will not interfere with them like the government army of the daimyo nobles, nor will they eat and buy food without giving money, and if there is any traitor, they will be killed once it is verified; And in addition to taxes, even conscription is paid a certain amount of remuneration......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu said casually.
"In that case...... Wouldn't the order of the grassroots village community fall into chaos? ”
Qimu Shuomao was even more skeptical: "Don't the common people need nobles to manage?" ”
"Why manage?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled dumbly: "Will the nobles be able to farm or mine?" Isn't it true that if no one cares, the common people don't need to farm their own land or go into workshops to support their families? ”
"But...... What if there are rebels who persecute the common people? ”
"The garrison ninja will kill him."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said lightly.
"Sure enough, it's a ...... of severe punishment"
Qimu Shuomao couldn't help but sigh, "Can you elaborate on other specific governance policies?" ”
"That's fine, but others may not be able to imitate it......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu thought for a moment
Strictly speaking, the order established by the Tokuko shogunate in the southern archipelago of Mizunokuni was more of a corporation than a regime.
Farmers are only responsible for farming to feed their own people, fishermen catch seafood for export to generate income, miners, craftsmen and workshop owners produce all kinds of industrial products for their own needs, and the United Fisheries Company monopolizes the foreign trade link in economic activities and makes high profits from it.
As for the taxes that can be collected locally, Uchiha Tokumitsu doesn't pay much attention, as long as the tax revenue can cover the salary expenses of the garrison ninja and the government ninja, but because of the eradication of the aristocracy and the abolition of all miscellaneous expenses except the regular tax, after reducing the middle rentier class, the tax pressure on the common people and merchants is less.
As a result, the shogunate received a satisfactory income, the ninjas no longer had to work hard for their tasks, the cost of trade for the merchants was reduced, and the peasants were finally able to eat. The only thing that was damaged was the noble group that originally claimed to be "ruling all the people in the name of the divine".
"Although I feel that it is contrary to the system of one village and one country, it ......"
Qimu Shuomao thoughtfully, "The lives of the common people are better......
"Maybe~"
Uchiha Tokumitsu replied lazily, "At least for now, who knows if ninjas will degenerate into the same decadence and incompetence as the nobility in the future?" ”
"It's hard to see the fall of ninjas, at least in our lifetimes......"
Qimu Shuomao was also a little embarrassed.
"In short, after smashing the chains of the old world, as long as there are enough forces and interests to back it up, a new order can be built soon."
Uchiha Tokumitsu concluded.
"That's true, but the ninja war ......"
Hachiki Shuomao thought about it, but still shook his head.
Uchiha Tokumitsu was noncommittal.
Even the relatively simple Qimu Shuomao is not so easy to be brainwashed.
"After Yunyin launched the Fog Hidden Offensive, it seems that the Sarufei Shogunate also has some ideas......"
The two were silent for a while, and Qimu Shuomao took the initiative to say.
"Sarutobi Shinnosuke? When did he become so bold? ”
Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little surprised when he heard this.
"It's not that I'm preparing to attack Yunyin, but I plan to take advantage of the opportunity of the Yunyin Ninja Army to launch an eastward crusade and enter a few small buffer countries between the Land of Fire and the Land of Thunder."
"That's ......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little disappointed, he thought that the eldest son of the Shinobi family suddenly became a hero.
"What's more, a while ago, Takishi Shinobu sent a few envoys to the village to protest, but since you defeated the fog, they haven't come again."
Sakumo Hachiki said with a smile.
"Complain about General Firegate?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu naturally knew what was going on.
"Yes."
Sakumo nodded.
The expansion strategy adopted by the Northwest Shogunate under the command of the Uchiha Fire Gate was relatively mild infiltration, and the target was naturally the neighboring land of rain and taki.
"I think back then, we were in the country of Taki, but we destroyed the high-level of Yunyin and Iwain in one fell swoop."
"It also includes the two-tailed human pillar force."
Sakushige also recalled the first joint operation between the two.
The second tail and the brigade......
When Uchiha Tokumitsu heard this, his heart moved.
Pinch your fingers and count, the second tail should have been resurrected at this time......
And from the image point of view, Youlu is a big cat, but I don't know if the ninja cat family has anything to do with it......
Uchiha Tokumitsu couldn't help but think about it.
"Knock knock!"
At this moment, a knock on the door interrupted Uchiha Tokumitsu's thoughts.
"Come in!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu shouted.
"Tokumitsu-sama......"
A ninja from the police department said respectfully, "Orochimaru Kamishinobu came to visit and offered to meet with you, but I wonder if he will be allowed in?" ”
"Bring him here."
Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't have a problem either.
Hachiki Sakumo was about to get up and avoid it, but he was held down by Uchiha Tokumitsu, signaling that he was not polite.
"Idle anyway, let's talk to Orochimaru together......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu said.
Happy May Day~
