(Ask for monthly ticket.)
"Lord Shadow, what do I need to prepare?"
"Preparing the money to buy the land, Arasaka Company, that little thing. This time I can take care of it."
Uchiha Makoto didn't talk nonsense.
This time, among the people behind the attack on Akatsuki Ninja Village, there must be a group of people who have serious interest disputes with Arasaka Company, otherwise the counterattack would not have come so quickly.
Then simply take action on them.
It not only showed Akatsuki Ninja Village's attitude, but also solved Arasaka Company's troubles.
"Lord Shadow, if that's the case, then the best targets are people like them."
Takahashi Temmaru instantly understood what Uchiha Makoto meant, and took out a list of information that had been prepared long ago.
Uchiha Makoto reached out and took it.
He stared at the information for a while, and soon found a suitable target among them.
They are a wealthy family, top nobles and most importantly, this family has a lot of land.
So many that even Uchiha Makoto found it outrageous.
Almost all the land in the three surrounding counties has become their family's private property.
When Land of Fire collects grain taxes every year, I'm afraid the local government can just go to their house directly, but I'm afraid that with the status of this noble family, they won't be able to collect much tax.
But this has nothing to do with Uchiha Makoto.
What he valued was only the property under the name of this great nobleman, which could satisfy Arasaka Company's current shortfall demand completely at once, and even Arasaka Company couldn't even afford it as a company.
"Hiss Lord Shadow Isn't this too bold?"
Takahashi Temmaru looked at the person Uchiha Makoto had chosen, and his face couldn't help but change. The family's family status was so high that he couldn't imagine. Even if he was rich, he was not qualified to visit.
"Tengumaru, what are you afraid of? Nothing is eternal from ancient times to the present. If something happens, I will take care of it!"
"What you have to consider now is to quickly raise funds. When the time comes, these lands will attract people to grab them like crazy."
"Yes, Lord Shadow, I'm going to prepare such a huge land, the cash flow is sure."
Takahashi Temmaru nodded. Since Lord Shadow is not afraid, what else does he have to be afraid of?
The only thing that troubles him is cash flow. Rich businessmen do have a lot of assets, but the actual cash flow they can use is only
"Don't worry, Akatsuki Ninja Village will also contribute part of the investment, and you can rest assured. When Arasaka Company takes action, the land price will definitely be very cheap at that time."
"By the way, you guys are going to buy a lot of food for me during this time. Did you see here? There is a big embankment here, which can solve all the problems at once. There are always some people who are unwilling to Rice-to-Mulberry Reform, so they will just flood!"
Uchiha Makoto pointed to a levee on the map, Takahashi Temmaru's face was filled with a bright smile.
Why didn't he think of such a good way?
This much land must be cultivated by someone. How could the great nobles cultivate it?
It must be planted by tenant farmers in those counties.
And even if they bought the land
Pushing Rice-to-Mulberry Reform isn't that easy either.
The resistance in this matter does not just come from the top.
There are also those underfed cattle and horses trampling on the young crops, but they will really cause civil riots.
But after the water flooded.
All problems were solved.
"In the aftermath, I don't want the victims to starve to death. They will all be employees of my factory in the future."
"Akatsuki Ninja Village's ninjas will be watching this."
Uchiha Makoto stared at Takahashi Temmaru, and he could see what Takahashi Temmaru was thinking with just one glance.
In this Ninja World, where capital is about to flow and everything is about to collapse, anything can really happen. Especially the guy in front of me and the people behind them are not good people.
If there is something about hoarding food and speculating on prices, they will definitely not mind making a quick buck along the way.
Follow Uchiha Makoto's idea.
He planned to take this opportunity to monopolize a large amount of land capital, and then let Arasaka Company begin to expand rapidly.
Flooded the land, bought a field, and immediately planted mulberry seedlings!
Expand production this year!
As for the victims after the embankment burst.
Earth Release, Ice Release. will also coincidentally appear at some key nodes to stop the flood.
Akatsuki Ninja Village's ninjas will also appear in front of them as bodhisattvas who relieve suffering and disasters.
They still have to plant these lands.
Ninjas don't know how to farm!
Of course, there must be some very unlucky guys who were affected and died.
Then Uchiha Makoto can only wish Sage of Six Paths to bless them.
There is no way to have both worlds.
Ninja World is so messy.
He is not a good person. There are not many people as kind-hearted as him these days.
When Takahashi Temmaru saw that his little thoughts were exposed, of course he did not dare to openly disobey Uchiha Makoto's orders. He nodded repeatedly and thought that Lord Shadow was kind-hearted!
Then he remembered something again and said:
"Ah? Lord Shadow, isn't this too deliberate?"
"It's easy to get in trouble!"
"Deliberately?"
"The hundreds of ninjas from Akatsuki Ninja Village just happened to be passing by by chance."
"Do they have evidence?"
"Takigakure did all this!"
Uchiha Makoto said nonchalantly.
One week later.
Capital of the Land of Fire.
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire was sitting leisurely in the tea room alone, holding a cup of tea in his hand, sitting there quietly, looking at the garden scenery not far away.
Late autumn season.
It's all yellow.
The soft rustling sound of running water could be heard in my ears.
The older you get
The more he likes to sit quietly in the tearoom alone, every time he is free, he sits here all afternoon. This is undoubtedly a very boring thing in the eyes of others, but for Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire, it is a rare relaxation.
Quietly empty your head.
No need to think about anything.
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire My whole body and mind are extremely relaxed, as if my soul has been cleansed.
"It would be great if everyone's thoughts could be as clear as the color of this cup of tea."
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire sighed.
Being Daimyo at this point in time is undoubtedly a hard job.
Times have slowly begun to change.
It seemed like it just happened overnight.
The ninjas seem to have become restless, and the trend of union among ninjas that has been trying to break through the shackles they have had for thousands of years seems to be unstoppable.
Even farmers and businessmen who were originally law-abiding became no longer submissive and began to look upward unconsciously.
The great nobles, who are full of loyalty, continue to do things that harm Daimyo's interests and blindly steal the country's wealth to their own names.
It is difficult for others to understand Daimyo's current mood.
People's hearts are unpredictable
Great loyalty is like treachery, great treachery is like loyalty.
And who is the person he can really trust and rely on?
He couldn't tell the difference, he really couldn't tell the difference!
But time and years finally gave him enough accumulation.
"Without true loyalty, loyalty and disloyalty are sometimes not up to them. When they are virtuous, they will be used, and when they are not virtuous, they will be deposed."
"The most important thing is balance"
"You can neither make loyal people too weak nor make them too strong, and the same goes for treacherous people. Strength and weakness are always relative."
"Be wary of the great nobles, but mainly be wary of ninjas."
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire muttered.
All the sadness seemed to be put into his stomach as he drank a cup of tea.
"Your Highness, Grand Elder is here."
"It seems it's still because of Akatsuki Ninja Village."
Daimyo nodded and waved his hand
Signal the attendant to let Grand Elder in.
Confused thoughts came to my mind again.
Akatsuki Ninja Village has always had conflicts with big figures in the country.
Ever since the last time Akatsuki Ninja Village unified Salt Market, Akatsuki Ninja Village's rather rough behavior caused heavy losses to some small families that were attached to these big shots, and some even physically disappeared from the world.
It's just that Akatsuki Ninja Village's subsequent actions were endorsed by Daimyo, and the targets he selected were clever. Those who died were only those who were not particularly important. It did not cause any direct personal harm to these big shots, but it did cause them to lose a lot of face.
But considering that everyone made more money in the end, for the sake of money, they endured it.
But Akatsuki Ninja Village's recent drastic actions have undoubtedly touched the cake of many people.
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire naturally knows all about these dirty things, and he also thinks that Akatsuki Ninja Village is indeed a bit excessive.
If Akatsuki Ninja Village calms down, Daimyo will be very happy. Those big shots who have lost their face and interests will also be very happy.
So Obedience Test came for Akatsuki Ninja Village.
Of course, Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire never ended the game in person, he just wrote a poem. Those who are ready to make Akatsuki Ninja Village look good will naturally take action - he is the chess player!
Soon.
Grand Elder walked in.
"Your Highness!"
Grand Elder skillfully bowed down to Daimyo, but Daimyo waved his hand leisurely, indicating that Grand Elder in front of him would be exempted from these false gestures.
"Grand Elder, take care of yourself."
"Land of Fire still need you to protect me from the wind and rain."
"Get up and have a taste of this tea. This is this year's Lion Peak Longjing. It was picked at night when the buds are showing."
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire spoke gently to Grand Elder, who had been with him for more than ten years.
But who would have expected that Grand Elder made no move to get up, and instead pressed his head firmly on the ground.
"Your Highness, something big has happened."
"Oh, what happened? Get up and answer the question."
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire still spoke at a slow pace, Grand Elder tremblingly took out several pieces of information from his arms.
" A large area in the northern part of Land of Fire burst suddenly, affecting three counties. The entire family of a local nobleman died tragically overnight."
"The pedigree of this noble family is Seika Family."
"How?!!"
This time even Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire was shocked.
Mention things like breaking up.
Of course it won't be a trivial matter.
The economic losses are naturally immeasurable.
But what shocked Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire even more was the latter. This noble family has been passed down from ancient times to the present. The history of their family lineage even exceeds the history of Land of Fire.
If we really talk about it
The status of such a family in Land of Fire is half a level lower than Daimyo.
Even in Warring States Period, which is extremely chaotic, the ninja clan has already become red-eyed, and no blind ninja dares to take action against such a wealthy family. Now the whole family died tragically overnight.
In case it gets too big.
This is bound to be a major event that shakes up the ruling and opposition parties and shakes the world.
"Have you found out about this matter?"
"Who did it!
"No matter who did it, the heinous people who offended noble people must be punished and they must pay the price!!"
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire suddenly heard such fatal information and felt extremely panicked.
His face was terrifyingly gloomy.
This is really causing a big mess.
He didn't even dare to think about what the noble people in Land of Fire would do.
I am afraid that everyone will run up to him like a frightened bird and demand Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire to give an explanation. Birds of a feather are like birds of a feather. Who is not afraid?
"Your Highness, the truth has not yet been fully ascertained. It is just that the Takigakure ninja was left at the death scene of the noble family."
"It's just that I'm afraid there's another hidden meaning behind this matter."
"Go on"
"I suspect it's Akatsuki Ninja Village."
Grand Elder's voice was very deep, and this answer obviously shocked Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire.
Such a joke is not funny at all.
"Your Highness, I am not just talking. Most of the land in these three counties is the property of the nobles who died tragically, and there is a serious interest dispute with Arasaka Company. Because of Mulberry Fields, the silk weaving factory is very unhappy. In addition, you also know the recent events. Their family is very familiar with some big directors in the entertainment industry, and they have spread rumors."
"Moreover, on the day the levee broke, Akatsuki Ninja Village's ninjas immediately appeared on the scene. They were rescuing the victims as if they were predicting the unknown. Akatsuki Ninja Village's ninjas used Earth Release at key locations. Ice Release The number of truly damaged victims is probably less than three digits."
Grand Elder's tone was quite exciting. What Akatsuki Ninja Village did was really rough.
Those unscrupulous people had nothing to gain, so they had nothing to lose. Their lives were saved.
It's nothing more than some broken houses and rotten furniture.
I heard that Akatsuki Ninja Village also forcibly appropriated the property of a deceased noble family to buy food to provide relief to the victims.
"Oh~~"
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire's expression changed, and his head was thinking rapidly.
He did not doubt what Grand Elder said. After all, in such a big matter, he believed that Grand Elder would not dare to tell lies.
This is why Grand Elder has always been Grand Elder. Sometimes you have to tell the truth!
This would be difficult if Akatsuki Ninja Village is involved.
Seika Family's family background is indeed noble.
But what Akatsuki Ninja Village masters is the purest form of violence.
The two collide.
Who will be smashed to pieces?
Seika Family is indeed rare.
But there is more than one family like Land of Fire, and there are only two great ninja villages like Akatsuki Ninja Village, Land of Fire, and the other Konoha has Hashirama Senju. God of Shinobi!
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire has made a decision in his heart.
But there are some things he cannot let himself say.
"Grand Elder, what do you think should be done about this matter?"
"The national situation is so difficult. If we investigate this matter thoroughly, once Akatsuki Ninja Village is involved, they will be in great power, and I, Land of Fire, will immediately be in chaos."
"So we can't do this."
"And suppress this matter!"
"Secretly assign a mission to Konoha, let Konoha investigate, let the Ninja Village investigate the Ninja Village, and let the ninjas fight ninjas!"
"Even if it gets out of hand in the end. And Takigakure. Everything can be changed."
"Grand Elder is truly loyal to the country!"
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire nodded, these words completely spoke to his heart.
