Uchiha Kō pouted, sensing that his future was bleak. His future, his image! Damn Senju Nawaki, that evil Senju brat!
Senju Nawaki shuddered and looked at Uchiha Kō, but Uchiha Kō didn't look at him. Instead, he was asking Tsunade for comfort.
Tsunade couldn't coax Uchiha Kō like a child, and Uchiha Kō was enjoying it. Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Uchiha Kō reluctantly left Tsunade's embrace, got up, glared at Senju Nawaki, and then went to open the door.
The person standing at the door was Nara Rokumei. Although his expression was serious, Uchiha Kō knew him well, understood that he already knew something.
"Ahem, it is like this, Lord Hokage, Lady Tsunade, the meeting is about to begin. Please move to the main conference room. The clan leaders and civilian representatives are ready," Nara Rokumei said.
Uchiha Kō nodded. "Understood, we'll go now." After saying that, he walked to his desk, picked up his straw hat, put it on his head, and walked towards the Hokage's meeting room, with Tsunade following closely behind.
Finally, Nara Rokumei and the other two walked towards the conference room, while Senju Nawaki staggered to his feet and also walked towards the conference room.
As the eldest descendant of the Senju Hashirama Senju Tobirama, his status has risen accordingly, so he is naturally entitled to attend this meeting.
As the group entered the conference room, the initial chatter and greetings immediately fell silent. Everyone turned their attention to Uchiha Kō, who was dressed in Hokage Haori's robes and hat, his expression serious and focused.
Uchiha Kō walked forward step by step, slowly ascended the stage, and sat in the main seat. He took off his Hokage hat and placed it on the table. "Today, I've called you all here for a meeting mainly to discuss two matters."
"The first thing is that Konoha Hospital has undergone a major equipment upgrade, with medical equipment imported from the Land of Clouds. This will improve the cure rate for diseases among the villagers of Konoha."
"Please Tsunade." After saying that, Uchiha Kō leaned back, Tsunade walked gracefully onto the stage and picked up the microphone that Uchiha Kō had prepared for her in advance.
She began her speech, focusing on the benefits, value, and potential value of the equipment. She concluded by thanking the villagers and the Hokage for their support, expressing her determination.
He then stepped down from the stage to thunderous applause. Uchiha Kō also stood up, clapped, and looked at Tsunade with pride in his eyes. "As expected of my woman, she's amazing!"
Then came the main topic. Apart from Uchiha Hirotomo, everyone else was very curious because there was no need to call everyone together just to update the equipment.
Uchiha Kō began, "The following announcement is quite significant, so please listen carefully, as a vote will be held shortly."
"Here it comes!" Everyone's hearts tightened, knowing that what Uchiha Kō was about to say was quite important. So they straightened their backs, sat there, looked straight ahead, and pricked up their ears, afraid of missing anything.
"I took on a task recently and discovered some problems. You might think that this has always been the case and there's no need for reform."
Some people believe that reforms should be implemented to protect the basic survival rights of the underprivileged.
"Regardless of the circumstances, I must express my opinion on this matter today."
He then began to recount the entire incident and its outcome.
"In response, I have decided to expand the civil service system, transform the Police Force into Military Police Force, and establish Police Force at the local level. The Military Police Force will send 30 people to each village to carry out local governance and management."
"It cannot be monopolized by a single family; multiple family members must govern together."
"Furthermore, we will negotiate annual tax revenue with those villages, and members of our Police Force will be responsible for maintaining stability in the area."
"The salary is no different from that of a regular employee..." Uchiha Kō read aloud the various laws and regulations written by Nara Rokumei.
The clan heads looked at Uchiha Hirotomo with thoughtful expressions. In Konoha, and even in their own families, there were many clan members who did not have proper jobs.
In addition to making all auxiliary police officers from the original Police Force permanent members, this reform will also free up more than 300 positions.
These 300-plus positions determine whether they support Uchiha Kō's decision.
The common people didn't see that far ahead; they just felt that the Lord Hokage was so kind. He really is... I'm so moved!
"The more than 300 vacancies will be divided equally among more than 20 major clans, including the Konoha Ino-Shika-Cho, Uchiha, Senju, Hyuga, etc."
"Do you have any further questions about this matter?" Uchiha Kō surveyed the entire room. The representatives of the major clans smirked; they had obtained the benefits they desired, so why wouldn't they support him?
At the same time, the large family had countless smaller families on good terms with them, and when the common people were also included, almost 90% of the people agreed to the proposal when they voted by raising their hands.
The remaining 10% have no choice but to accept and follow the majority rule.
Uchiha Kō finally made the decision. "This matter is settled then, Clan Chief Guangzhi. I'll give you a week to compile the list of those to be sent to the countryside."
"Don't worry, Lord Hokage, Uchiha Hirotomo will do his utmost to not disappoint Lord Hokage!" Uchiha Hirotomo patted his chest, stood up, and bowed.
Uchiha Kō then looked at Nara Rokumei and said, "Nara Rokumei, within seven days, negotiate and improve relations between Konoha and other villages. If they are unwilling, we will not force them."
"I understand, Lord Hokage!" Nara Rokumei nodded and smiled.
"Hatake Sakumo, during this time, protect Lu Ming and make sure he is safe!" Uchiha Kō then looked at the Anbu Captain-Commander, Hatake Sakumo.
Hatake Sakumo stood up and agreed, then stood behind Nara Rokumei immediately felt a sense of security!
He is more confident about this round of negotiations in the countryside!
"That's settled then. The clan leaders will write down their lists of candidates and discuss them with Clan Leader Guangzhi to decide on the final selection. Meeting adjourned!" Uchiha Kō waved his hand.
Everyone stood up, bowed, and left the meeting room. After leaving the Hokage Building, they were all smiles, praising Uchiha Kō for his concern for the people while pondering their choices for the Police Force.
Uchiha Kō, holding Tsunade, turned to Lu Ming and said, "You've worked hard, Lu Ming, let's go home now!"
Nara Rokumei rolled her eyes. "Hurry up, hurry up! I need to work!"
Uchiha Kō smiled slightly and walked out of the Hokage Building with Tsunade, heading towards his own villa.
After watching Uchiha Kō's meeting, the six children were filled with excitement and felt an even greater admiration for Uchiha Kō!
