Blaze Emperor Hall
It must be said that the high-ranking officials of the Land of Fire acted swiftly; by the middle of the night, they had drafted the document and sent it directly to all parts of the Land of Fire.
Along the way, Konoha Ninja were everywhere, relaying and posting the Daimyo's Estate's coronation notice throughout the Land of Fire. Flying Konoha Ninja were a common sight in the skies above the entire Land of Fire.
Immediately, throughout the Land of Fire, whether in cities or rural areas, everyone learned of the announcement, the content of which was...
The Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Qingcheng, was appointed to restore order during a time of crisis and assumed the throne of the Flame Blaze Emperor of the Land of Fire, becoming known as the First Founding Blaze Emperor. From this day forward, the people of the Land of Fire will no longer pay a poll tax, but instead a business tax and property fee. The Blaze Emperor's enthronement ceremony will be held tomorrow morning at eight o'clock.
Upon seeing this document, the common people of the Land of Fire were filled with excitement, cheering and shouting, "Blaze Emperor Yan is simply a god! He has abolished our land tax and only collects a portion of the commercial tax!"
Some wealthy merchants from the Land of Fire also frowned slightly upon seeing the announcement, saying with a helpless expression:
"The First Blaze Emperor Yan actually doesn't collect a head tax or a land tax. Instead, he only collects a portion of commercial tax and a portion of property management fees. Isn't this just charging money to us rich people?"
The wealthy in the Land of Fire are not as rich as they used to be, but their assets are still thousands, even tens of millions of times greater than those of ordinary people. There are simply too many rich people in the Land of Fire."
Meanwhile, the civilians in Kyoto had been released from martial law, and the street Police Force had completed their task of confiscating and exterminating families. Those powerful families closely associated with the Matsudan Clan had been thoroughly plundered by the Police Force.
This operation directly reduced the number of wealthy people in Kyoto by half, leaving only families like Wayan's who were not robbed by the Police Force.
All the members of the Police Force were rolling in money, their eyes gleaming with indifference to wealth, their hands overflowing with gold and jewels.
Some members of the Police Force shouted, "We're out of Storage Scroll! Does anyone have extra Storage Scroll? Lend me a couple. I'll return four Storage Scroll you when we get to Konoha!"
This earned him Byakugan from a group of people. The remaining members of the Police Force said with disdain, "The more houses we raid, the greater our merit. What's the use of money? We want merit; we want to become high-ranking officials in the future."
Meanwhile, in the main city of Kyoto, the enormous Daimyo's Estate's residence had been transformed into the Blaze Emperor Hall. Even the plaques above it had been changed, and many abandoned buildings had been demolished and rebuilt. Even the daimyo's backyard had been turned into the Blaze Emperor Harem.
Many Konoha Ninja were using Earth Release Ninjutsu to build new walls, completely renovating the entire Blaze Emperor Palace.
The square-shaped Yan Blaze Emperor Hall is the largest and most luxurious building in the entire Kyoto, and also the administrative center of the entire Land of Fire.
Wayanra has now been appointed Grand Steward of the Blaze Emperor Hall, responsible for the daily work of the Minister of State Affairs and the Minister of Finance. He is the highest-ranking official in the entire Land of Fire.
The Grand Elder and the Second Elder are like the people in charge of the Land of Fire, communicating directly with Konoha.
Qingcheng also gave the two old men each a dose of the Second-Generation Uchiha Enhancement Vaccine, restoring their youthful stamina. Although they only had One-Tomoe Sharingan, their combat strength was still comparable to that of Elite Jonin.
Qingcheng also arranged for the two of them to frequently attend meetings in the Land of Fire, so that the officials of the Land of Fire could learn about the Will of Fire and be helped to acquire noble qualities."
After receiving the vaccine, the Grand Elder was shocked by the Uchiha Enhancement Vaccine and said in disbelief:
"This Uchiha Enhancement Vaccine contains such powerful Chakra! Even my body is completely covered by a powerful life force. I feel like I've become twenty years younger, and my body is full of power. I could easily kill Danzo in one go now!"
The Second Elder was also astonished by the vaccine, exclaiming in shock, "It's simply divine craftsmanship! Divine craftsmanship! Such technology is beyond imagination; its power is truly astounding!"
Qingcheng then called Shouhon Yihan and Hayakumo Sōma aside, laughed heartily, and said with a look of admiration:
"You two did a good job. Not only did you kill the daimyo of the Land of Fire, Matsudan you also framed old man Matsuda for it. But as good as you did, you two must not forget your share of the money that you owe the village."
Shouhon Yihan immediately took out more than twenty Storage Scroll and said respectfully:
"Reporting to the Hokage, this time I seized a total of 212.7 billion Silver Coin, most of which were gold and silver ornaments, but that's about the same price. We also found twelve high-level Ninjutsu, the two highest-ranking Ninjutsu being A-rank Ninjutsu, and the rest being B-rank Ninjutsu."
Upon hearing that over two hundred billion Silver Coin had been protected, Qingcheng was overjoyed and said with great admiration, "Shouhon Yihan, your strength is still the strongest in Konoha. I would call you the number one person in Konoha at making money through underhanded means. Keep it up next time, and you'll be one step closer to your dream."
Shouhon Yihan's dream is to become a director of Associate Kage, like Kakashi, someone who can sign and stamp documents. This is Shouhon Yihan's motivation, and Qingcheng has always used this dream to inspire his work enthusiasm.
Upon hearing these words, Shouhon Yihan's face filled with excitement, and she said with great enthusiasm, "Thank you, Lord Hokage! Thank you, Lord Hokage! I will definitely continue to work hard!"
Hayakumo Sōma heard Shouhon Yihan pull out so much money that morning, her face turned green. She thought to herself, "How could he have so much money? How could he have so much money? He must be acting against me."
Qingcheng glanced at Hayakumo Sōma again and said with a serious expression, "What achievements have you made? Why don't you tell us?"
Hayakumo Sōma, "Reporting to Lord Hokage, I led the members of the Fat Water Squad into the Daimyo's Estate's Storage Hall, only to find it completely emptied. We searched the entire Daimyo's Estate's harem for a whole day, and all the wealth we found was only 92.3 billion Silver Coin, most of which was gold and jewels."
