Uchiha Nan only needed a few seconds to think before he understood the hidden meaning in the Miko's words.
The Land of Land of Demons is weak and its people are poor. If they want the lives of the people of the Land of Demons to improve little by little, the only way is to cling to Konoha, which is a powerful backer. The most direct way is to win the friendship of the Hokage of Konoha.
So, the Miko, she craved her own body!
Another woman who's lusting after her own body!
Soon, the image of a contemporary Miko appeared in Uchiha Nan's mind: bright eyes and white teeth, fair skin, and a penchant for wearing exotic Miko uniforms and flowing white stockings.
Hmm... I'm not losing out!
" Lu Yuan, please tell the Miko that I'd be happy to help her with this."
Regardless, the power of the Miko has a special effect on Moryo, and for the long-term peace and stability of Konoha, Uchiha Nan is willing to sacrifice himself.
Although the Miko outfit also has a special attack attribute against her, it will definitely be a fierce battle, but Uchiha Nan is happy to do so.
After all, this is all for Konoha!!
"Yes, Lord Hokage!"
Nara Luyuan nodded in agreement.
" Lord Hokage, the first train line has been opened and has been running for some time now, with remarkable results. Using trains for transportation has greatly reduced transportation costs."
"At the same time, land values around the train station skyrocketed, with representatives of the industrial sector and wealthy merchants from the aristocratic side hoping to purchase land use rights and invest in the surrounding area."
"There are also Sapporo and Nagoya, two major cities. The wealthy merchants there hope to discuss a train project with Konoha. They are very optimistic about the future of the train, but they have encountered obstacles because some local landowners and nobles are unwilling to sell their land."
They hope to receive help from Konoha. If Konoha is willing to lend a hand, they are willing to make concessions in terms of benefits. The specific plan is still under discussion.
After reviewing the Kakuzu, Kakuzu felt he could still demand more benefits and decided to personally negotiate with them.
Nara Luyuan brought up the matter of the train project.
The Moryo soldiers worked tirelessly at the construction site and soon completed the construction of the first railway line.
The distant rumble of a train has become Konoha's wake-up call.
Trains can transport thousands of tons of goods at a time, and over extremely long distances, completely eliminating the drawbacks of traditional manual transport and short-distance transport by three-wheeled vehicles.
Compared to traditional transportation methods, trains have absolute advantages in speed and cost, and that's just the most basic function. A single train line can definitely drive the economic development of cities along its route.
This was a merchant who shocked the entire Ninja world.
Trains are absolutely a revolutionary mode of transportation!
"Then let Kakuzu handle the negotiations."
Uchiha Nan entrusted this task to Kakuzu.
The Shadow Clone Technique is truly a wonderful thing; it allows one person to be used as several. Kakuzu especially loves using Shadow Clone to conduct several business deals simultaneously.
Anyway, he's already lost his life; he can just get a heart transplant.
Uchiha Nan thought to himself, feeling increasingly proud of his own wisdom in recruiting such an excellent subordinate as Kakuzu.
"Yes, Lord Hokage."
"What should we do about that large landowner in Sasora, Nagoya?"
Nara Luyuan continued to ask.
"Those large landowners are all officials from the Land of Fire. Let the industrial faction in the court deal with them."
"Today, deliver all the dirt on these scoundrels to the representatives of the industrial faction. None of them are clean."
"Those who don't know when to stop should die!"
Uchiha Nan had long ago collected all the scandals of officials of all ranks in the Land of Fire, compiling them into a Land of Fire version of "Records of Officials' Conduct".
If they're willing to cooperate and achieve a win-win situation with Konoha, then we can let them go for now and slaughter them when we're a bit richer.
If you're going to be disloyal and oppose us, then just die!
"Yes, Lord Hokage!"
Soon, Nara Luyuan reported all the important recent information and then left the Hokage's office.
Time passed slowly, and soon it was afternoon.
The interview with Madara Uchiha has arrived as scheduled.
To support Madara Uchiha, Uchiha Nan took time out at noon to go home, take a shower, and then put on a brand-new Divine Robe before solemnly participating in Madara Uchiha's interview.
Madara Uchiha wore a large red flower pinned to his chest, covered with a layer of red cloth, on which were embroidered the four characters "Model Factory Manager".
Facing the numerous cameras, Madara Uchiha, who was used to seeing big scenes, was actually a little apprehensive when he first spoke.
However, Madara Uchiha quickly recovered and began to speak passionately about his journey of advancement, how he went from an ordinary worker to the factory manager he is today.
When he got excited, he tilted his head back and burst into laughter.
At the same time, Madara Uchiha's thinking also underwent some changes.
No longer the aloof demon of the Ninja world, he started talking about the lives and hardships of workers from the smallest details.
Perhaps only cattle and horses can truly empathize with each other!
The cattle and horses have to get up Tenten and work until very late before they can rest.
When orders are plentiful, during the busiest times, they can work up to twenty hours a day. They even have to work while sick because taking leave will result in a deduction from their full attendance bonus. Their wages are extremely meager, and they can't afford to eat or drink, all to pay their mortgage.
Madara Uchiha voiced the sentiments of many, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and a desire for Konoha to improve the situation.
Konoha has done an excellent job. Compared to the entire Ninja world, it's practically fertile ground. So many people who want to come here and serve Konoha as slaves have to wait in line and enter a lottery.
However, the Uchiha has always been radical, and Madara Uchiha was one of the best among them.
Otherwise, Madara Uchiha wouldn't have gone to carry out the Moon's Eye Plan, aiming to create a world without war in one fell swoop.
Konoha is very good now, but it can definitely become even better.
This is exploitation of the working people!
"I don't think Konoha should be like this!!"
Madara Uchiha spoke earnestly, as if he were the person Uchiha Nan feared most.
Uchiha Nan, sitting in the audience, was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Do you really want to hang yourself from a streetlight?
Lord Ban, your thinking is truly advanced.
Don't think about it anymore!
Don't mess with me!
How am I supposed to sleep if you keep doing this?!
After Madara Uchiha finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted, especially among his Madara Uchiha. Factory Manager Banzhu had spoken their minds!
Uchiha Nan quickly stepped forward, first Madara Uchiha, and then waving to the people below the stage.
Konoha's benevolent father, the Sun, has arrived!
A cheer erupted from the crowd, everyone stood up, raised their hands involuntarily, and called out to the Lord Hokage. Some were even moved to tears.
Uchiha Nan picked up the microphone and began the emergency rescue.
" Madara Pillar is a model factory manager of Konoha, an outstanding talent of Konoha. His speech just now was thought-provoking, although his words were a bit strong."
"Let me help him sort it out again."
Konoha is our home!
"If you think Konoha is bad, then go and improve Konoha."
"If you feel your salary is too low, then strive for advancement and start your own factory."
"If you feel the factory's working conditions are poor, you should take the lead in working hard, studying, developing technology, and increasing productivity to help the factory earn more money. With more money, the factory will naturally improve the workers' working conditions."
"Start by changing the people around you, instead of attacking the factory and Konoha."
" Konoha has flaws; let's work together to correct them and gradually improve, instead of shouting things like 'This is exploiting the working people.'"
" Konoha has its own difficulties. Think carefully about your lives before you came to Konoha, and then think about the days you lived in Konoha."
The place where you stand is your Konoha; as you are, so is the Konoha! What you are, the Konoha is.
If you are the light, Konoha will shine brightly!
"."
Uchiha Nan spoke sincerely, leading those present to recount the initial devastation of Konoha.
The First Shinobi World War had just ended, Konoha was in turmoil, with a huge fiscal deficit, soaring prices, and economic stagnation.
He led the villagers of Konoha through hardships and pioneering spirit to develop Konoha into the prosperous place it is today.
How long have these good days lasted, and you're already showing signs of forgetting our kindness?
This is outrageous!
You don't want to be grateful, do you want to eat purple eggs?!
" Lord Hokage is right!!"
"We are Konoha people, and we want to dedicate ourselves to Konoha, starting with ourselves and gradually changing the lives of those around us."
" Lord Hokage!!"
We love you so much!!!
Uchiha Nan's speech quickly resonated with the audience.
The kindness of compound interest remains.
The living conditions in Konoha are unparalleled in the entire Ninja world.
Outside of Konoha, the people are suffering, and disaster victims are everywhere. Nobles exploit the people, ninjas exploit the people, and wandering samurai exploit the people again.
In Konoha, you don't have to worry about your personal safety at all. You can keep your money in your pocket without worrying that someone will break into your home in the middle of the night and rob you of everything.
The blessings bestowed upon Konoha's benevolent father are truly wonderful!
Moreover, the Lord Hokage has his reasons; Konoha needs them to shine right now.
Young people are at the age when they need to strive!
Even the factory manager, Madara Pillar, was able to buy his own house and pay off his 25-year mortgage through his own efforts. Later, he even became the factory manager, transcending social classes.
When Uncle Madara Pillar was working hard, he would work twenty hours a day and create twenty Shadow Clone.
Why can't I do it?
It must be because I haven't tried hard enough!
The audience members began to spontaneously echo Uchiha Nan's speech.
The atmosphere became incredibly enthusiastic, with cheers rising higher and higher.
Many raised their hands in cheers, some with tears in their eyes.
Looking at the excited crowd, Uchiha Nan smiled, then looked at Madara Uchiha and slowly said:
"Uncle Madara Pillar, do you think I'm right?"
You're right.
Madara Uchiha nodded and said that he felt there was nothing wrong with what Uchiha Nan said.
I just feel like something's a little off, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
But regardless, Uchiha Nan was a good Hokage!
Konoha is indeed becoming more prosperous day by day. Although the workers complain, they still smile when they talk about life in Konoha, and their eyes radiate anticipation for the future.
But Uchiha Nan has already overshadowed me.
This interview segment was clearly dedicated to interviewing me!
I'll let it go since he's a junior.
The interview program has ended.
Uchiha Nan did not allow Madara Uchiha to return to work at the factory.
Madara Uchiha in this class.
It would be terrifying if he were to discover something truly extraordinary.
" Madara Pillar, don't go to work! Uchiha Hikari has been nagging you to play games. While you were away, the arcade updated with a lot of new games, and your arcade's score is now at the bottom!"
Furthermore, Uchiha Hikari has already dominated the arcades and has no rivals left. Only Madara Pillar Hashirama is qualified to fight her.
Uchiha Nan wanted to get Madara Uchiha back to the arcade as soon as possible.
Madara-sama, you should hurry up and go play video games with Uchiha Hikari!
If I make you go back to work in the factory, I won't be able to sleep peacefully.
"Really?"
"That girl Uchiha Hikari, has good taste; it's been a long time since I've been to an arcade..."
"My score is at the bottom! This is absolutely intolerable!!"
"Just at the factory."
Madara Uchiha was somewhat tempted; his gaming addiction was acting up, but he couldn't put down what he was doing.
"Don't worry, Uncle Madara Pillar."
Although the factory still has many orders, Konoha has already urgently recruited a large number of workers from the Land of Fire to work in Konoha's factories and experience the blessings of Konoha.
"The factory worker shortage has been alleviated considerably. There's no need for you, the factory manager, to personally work on the assembly line. It's time to go back to the arcade and spend some time with Uchiha Hikari."
Uchiha Nan tried his best to persuade him.
Finally, Madara Uchiha agreed with Uchiha Nan's suggestion and headed straight for the Konoha arcade with the big red flower on his chest.
Watching Madara Uchiha's departing figure, Uchiha Nan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Damn it!!
The project for the Mental Sauna Room" needs to be accelerated!
We need to get this project started quickly and cleanse the souls of those cattle and horses on time.
After composing himself, Uchiha Nan decided to accelerate the progress of the Mental Sauna Room" project.
I must obtain the Zero-Tailed Beast from the Sky Ninja Village.
Afterwards, Uchiha Nan wandered around several streets and arrived at a noodle shop.
The ramen at this noodle shop is so delicious that every evening during dinner time, customers line up to get their ramen.
However, since Uchiha Nan is the Hokage, the noodle shop owner thoughtfully prepared a special seat for Uchiha Nan.
It's an honor for the Lord Hokage to enjoy noodles from his own noodle shop!
Soon after finishing dinner, Uchiha Nan returned to the Hokage of Konoha Building without stopping.
He went to the archives and picked up a list of thousands of pages of experimental resources, along with investigation reports from professionals, intending to go to the laboratory to settle accounts with Tobirama Senju.
It was already evening.
The sky began to be tinged with a gentle hue by the setting sun.
As the sun slowly sets in the west, its light becomes soft and warm, no longer glaring.
As the sound of a train whistle drifted from afar, Uchiha Nan returned to his clan's territory.
Tobirama Senju: Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely!
Prepare for trial!
