Chapter 212 Capital and Scientific Research

It is undeniable that a genius can indeed support a great theoretical system.

But on the other hand, it is absolutely impossible for one person to preside over a huge scientific research project.

What's more, with the development of the times and the deepening of research, scientific research projects are increasingly relying on sophisticated experimental equipment and continuous massive capital investment, which also weakens the absolute dominance of super geniuses over general scientific research projects to a certain extent.

It is undeniable that although the profit-seeking desire of capital will lead to short-sightedness in scientific research to a certain extent, the injection of funds will also stimulate scientific research and develop scientific research.

What Uchiha Tokumitsu had to do was to snipe the Hokage's needs as much as possible in terms of funding and equipment, so as to delay the preparation and advancement of his experiments, so as to leave enough time to obtain the true research objectives of his experiments.

At the same time, although the Uzumaki Research Institute does not have a super scientist who can match Orochimaru, Uchiha Tokumitsu has also made up his mind to solve the shortage of talent by throwing more money at it and making more trial and error.

There is no way, the Tokumitsu shogunate is so "rich and billion".

Moreover, feeling that the memory of his previous life is reasonably inferred, Uchiha Tokumitsu also made a prediction about Orochimaru, a research project directly funded by the Hokage family, and then combined with the many equipment purchased by Orochimaru in the past six months, Uchiha Tokumitsu felt that his prediction and the actual result should be inseparable.

However, everything needs evidence, and even the police department can't smug people's innocence, so Uchiha Tokumitsu is also very patient in arranging manpower to spy on Orochimaru's intelligence.

It's just that I don't know how Senju Tsunade, who is a classmate and friend, will feel after learning about Orochimaru's experiments?

"It's really exciting......"

Uchiha Tokumi thought wryly.

……

The reason why the three generations of apes are reusing the Great Snake Pill is actually a way to do it.

Among the three apprentices, the most upright is the thousand-handed Tsunade who is a descendant of the Pillar Lineage, and both his bloodline and fame are the best choice among the three.

It's just that since Tsunade insisted on reorganizing the Thousand Hands Clan, the master and apprentice have begun to show some signs of parting ways.

Especially after his two attempts to snipe the Uchiha clan in the upper ninja class failed, Tsunade began to restrain the strength of the returning ninjas, seriously accumulating strength, and rarely showed his face.

And the big fool of Jiraiya first carried the evil fate of the psychic beast holy land Miaomu Mountain, and then he was deeply hit by the fact that Tsunade and Kato became a couple, and chose to go out to travel, but now he is nested in the country of rain and moldy, and he also accepted two apprentices, although the three generations of apes sent envoys to call him back to the village many times, but Zilai also said that he was unwilling to come back.

However, in addition to Sarufei Shinnosuke, the Sarufei clan from the three generations can't even find another new-age ninja who is strong enough to take on the heavy responsibility, so not to mention compared with the combination of the middle and young generations such as Hachiki Shuoshige and Uchiha Tokumitsu, even compared with the new-age ninjas of the Pig, Deer and Butterfly clans.

Therefore, the Hokage family, who is nominally the most powerful in Konoha, actually fell into a situation where there is no successor, and can only choose to push out Orochimaru, whose image and popularity are relatively poor.

And even the other two core characters of the Hokage family, Mito Menyan and Koharu Zhuan, all regard Orochimaru as "a poisonous snake in human skin", which also shows Orochimaru's image among ninjas in the same village.

Of course, Orochimaru is not alone, although he is vicious and vicious, but because of his unique personality, there are still many ninjas who have fought with him on the battlefield who choose to cling to his command.

It's just that compared with the Hachiki Sakumo's Innovation Society and the Uchiha Tokumitsu's shogunate, whether it is strength or financial resources, the power under Orochimaru's command is far inferior.

But this did not prevent the Uchiha Tokumitsu Ninja from deploying the laboratory for sniping Orochimaru.

After Orochimaru's visit, Uchiha Tokumitsu summoned the attendant ninja and asked him to arrange for personnel to immediately go and guard several secret laboratories of Orochimaru, beware of his temporary change of home.

The police department ninja who went to squat didn't even disguise himself, so he stood on either side of the entrance of the laboratory and began to stand guard.

When Orochimaru learned about this, he was shocked and annoyed, but he was helpless.

Let's expel it, then it must be a large force of ninjas from the police department who have entered the laboratory and looted and destroyed.

Ignore it, it's disgusting again. Even the "consumables" after the experiment are not so easy to dispose of, and the laboratory becomes a garbage heap in a few days.

"This lab is temporarily unusable......"

Helpless, Orochimaru could only choose to temporarily close the laboratory.

At the same time, I secretly made up my mind that the new laboratory in the future would not only have to solve the problems of air circulation and sewage discharge, but the most important thing was that it could no longer be found by Uchiha Tokumitsu.

This was also specially ordered by Uchiha Tokumitsu.

All he wants is to scare the snakes.

……

Just when Orochimaru was running around for a new laboratory.

At the behest of Uchiha Tokumitsu, the southern archipelago of the Shogunate of the Water Country officially issued the regional legal tender - the Golden Yen!

The gold standard adopted by the shogunate and the currency of the great ninja world was different, and the gold yuan was anchored by the currency of the land of water and the land of fire; In other words, although the Shogunate Yen Coupon cannot be directly exchanged for a gold judgment, it can be exchanged for paper money in the Land of Water or the Land of Fire.

As for the implementation of the Yen Bills in the jurisdiction of the shogunate, it was also very simple - the southern islands accepted such currency for the payment of taxes and the purchase of goods from government stores.

And this is just the first step in Uchiha Tokumitsu's financial plan.

The main reason for retaining currency exchange rather than issuing coins entirely on credit is that the productivity of the southern islands has not yet recovered, and even if a large amount of currency is issued, it cannot be spent, let alone recognized by merchants outside other jurisdictions.

If it is not recognized by the merchants, then the gold yuan will not be able to circulate in the ninja world, and the issuance of the gold yuan will be useless, just a futile consumption of foreign exchange.

Therefore, as a supporting condition, Uchiha Tokumitsu issued three construction bonds in a row on the Minamigawa Stock Exchange -

The Southern Homeland Revitalization No. 1 Bond, with a total amount of one billion taels and an annual interest rate of 6%, is mainly used to rebuild many war-torn shipyards in the southern archipelago of the Water Country, and Uchiha Tokumitsu also uses the shipyard assets as collateral, and promises to invest more than 50 million large financiers can also enjoy additional discounts and priority ship booking business.

In addition, the Southern Islands Revival No. 1 Bond, with a total amount of 800 million taels and an annual interest rate of only 5%, is mainly used for infrastructure construction in the Southern Islands, such as seafood processing plants and refrigerated supply chains.

The third bond is called "Southern Islands Advanced Industrial Construction Plan", with a total fundraising scale of 2 billion taels and an annual interest rate of only 5%; Moreover, the purpose and specific purpose of the fundraising were not announced.

If nothing else, the "advanced industrial construction" in the name of the bond alone is enough to make people think about it.

There is no universally accepted definition of what constitutes "advanced industry" in the ninja world; Since there is no standard, then don't blame Uchiha Tokumitsu for metaphorical marketing through various means.

And the peculiarity of this bond is that it is secured by the taxes of the southern islands - that is, if the Tokumitsu shogunate cannot repay the bond in the future, then the creditors will directly control the governance of the southern islands and become the uncrowned king of the southern islands!

Although the wealthy merchants knew that such a renunciation was unlikely, it did not prevent them from investing idle funds in Uchiha Tokumitsu's bonds.

After all, for the underground forces sitting on a large amount of black money, there is nothing more rare than achieving a stable appreciation of assets.

Therefore, as soon as the bonds began to be announced, the mysterious wealthy merchants in the ninja world who had been paying attention to the Nangagawa Stock Exchange sent messengers to Konoha as soon as possible and stayed in the small hotel next to the stock exchange.

Once again, the Konoha ninja was blown away by Uchiha Tokumitsu's generosity.

Not to mention why the scale of Uchiha Tokumitsu's bond issuance is so large, the most incomprehensible thing for Konoha ninjas, especially ninja ninjas, is that such a low interest rate can still attract so many wealthy businessmen to wait for bonds to pay.

You must know that after the bond turmoil was resolved by the bailout of the Nanhechuan Stock Exchange, except for a few ninjas who were able to retain some credibility without a thunderstorm, most of the ninja who had lingering palpitations stopped the bond business one after another and returned to the old tradition of making money by relying on tasks.

The one who is most concerned about this matter is naturally the Hokage......

"Teacher, the funds for the laboratory are running out, so we have to add money."

Orochimaru pushed the door in, and the big thorn said.

"I got it......"

The three generations of apes slashed their heads and massaged their temples.

He also knew why Orochimaru said that he was short of money again.

Due to the large-scale fundraising of the shogunate's three bonds, and the ninja community generally believed that the construction of the shogunate's southern archipelago would require a large amount of materials to support, the sales price of various equipment rose overnight, in the hope of getting a little more fat from the wealthy Tokumitsu shogunate.

Orochimaru's laboratory is one of the victims of the crazy rise in prices.

But the problem is that although he is the leader of the ninja village, after two ninja class meetings, the finances of Konoha that were originally in the black box operation have been semi-public, and he, the Hokage, can not mobilize much money.

As for the funds secretly allocated by the Daimyo, the three generations of apes still need to use it to train the Daimyo's ninja army, and there is no way to transfer too much, otherwise it will delay the formation and training of the ninja army.

……

Just when the Hokage clan was struggling with funds, the patriarch Uchiha Quartet, who was worried about Nakajunaka, found Uchiha Tokumitsu.

"So much money...... Where exactly are you going to use it? Can it be repaid? ”

Uchiha Tokumi glanced at him, "Used to build ships and factories, and to improve the process of detonation charms." ”

Subsequently, Uchiha Tokumitsu casually handed a battle report document to the patriarch Uchiha Quartet.

"It's ......"

The Uchiha Quartet was a little confused, so he flipped through it carefully.

"It's true?!"

The Uchiha Quartet was also quite shocked.

This war report comes from information obtained by the Tokumitsu shogunate to help build the Kigakuin Repair Shipyard.

Just one day before the bond announcement, the three ironclad ships sold by the Tokumitsu shogunate to Kirikuin killed nearly a thousand Yunyin ninjas in one fell swoop through a round of torpedo salvos in a large-scale naval battle with Yunyin, and completely routed the Yunyin invading army.

After the war, the three generations of Mizukage once again gave a passionate speech and shouted in front of the Mist Ninja to burn the flames of war to the land of Thunder!

At the same time, the envoy of the fog, Loquat Shizo, once again handed over an arms order to the shogunate, ordering six ironclad ships and 600,000 detonation charms, in addition to signing a contract for the purchase of a large amount of basic ninja equipment such as kunai and shuriken.

"4.5 billion ......"

Patriarch Uchiha Quartet read out the total amount of the arms order for Kirigaku, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Why do you have to issue bonds to raise money when you have so much money?"

The Uchiha Quartet was still a little puzzled, in his eyes, this was a waste of money to pay interest for no reason.

"More money is good to do big things~"

Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't bother to explain too much to the patriarch of medieval thought: "Anyway, the shogunate won't lose anything, and the interest will be earned back through arms orders, and maybe you can earn more with more money~"

“…… You have a point. ”

Although he still didn't understand Uchiha Tokumitsu's intentions, the Uchiha Quartet Sea, who was shocked by the "forty-five billion", nodded in agreement.
