Rikusei was very busy.
The Administration Department, which had only just relaxed, was once again piled high with documents like snowflakes.
His Sharingan spun rapidly as he processed petitions and reports related to land resources that had flown in from every region.
Because of the unpredictability of ninja, all land newly assigned to Konoha's jurisdiction belonged to Konoha.
A ninja's Earth Style could easily alter the terrain.
Today it might be a thousand hectares of fertile farmland; tomorrow, it could become a vast desert stretching for miles.
Rikusei studied the records in the documents. Through the words alone, he could sense the joy of those receiving land.
The nobles who had always oppressed them had fled in disgrace to the Daimyo Mansion, casually abandoning the fields they had once treasured like jewels.
The united ninja truly were unstoppable.
Nobles?
Before gods, these old powers had no ability to resist. They were swept from the stage of history like dry leaves before a storm.
He picked up a sheet of paper and, drawing on the experience of that other world, wrote down some thoughts on land.
<Some Humble Thoughts on Ninja, Tailed Beasts, and Land Production>
Using ninja and tailed beasts for agricultural production could completely create a Tailed Beast Farm on an unprecedented scale.
The massive crop yields produced by such an unconventional combination would inevitably impact traditional farming methods.
The villagers of the Land of Fire, who were mainly responsible for agriculture, would be utterly unable to withstand such an overwhelming blow.
Cheap grain harming farmers was an eternal problem.
To avoid such conflict, the Tailed Beast Farm could mainly produce staple grains, while the villagers took a different path and grew vegetables and fruit. The economic value of those crops was far higher than that of traditional crops.
