The Scientific Research Department established a grid-based management system covering the entire village.
The entire Sunagakure was divided into hundreds of small grids, each equipped with a rigorously trained grid manager.
They are not only responsible for collecting residents' needs and conveying policy information, but also bear the important responsibility of supervising the implementation of policies.
Every day, the dynamics within the grid are uploaded to the central database in real time, enabling the Reform Society to accurately grasp the implementation status of each reform.
The ' Information Hub ' of the Reform Society Network played a key role.
This system, composed of dozens of computers, can process massive amounts of data in a short time, ranging from grain production statistics to project construction progress, from trainee assessment results to material distribution.
With a population of hundreds of thousands in Sunagakure, the existing computing system is more than capable of handling all administrative tasks.
However, the top brass of the Reform Society were well aware of this.
As Sunagakure expands and its population surpasses one million, the existing system will face severe challenges.
To this end, Scientific Research Department have begun collaborating with Orochimaru to develop next-generation biocomputing technology.
The Sunagakure was shrouded in a pale golden dust at dawn.
Looking around, the entire village resembles a giant construction site.
Chakra surged and flowed freely, and the framework of the building rose from the desert, with workers wearing Forehead Protector moving among it.
In the northwest corner of the old village site, a brand-new grid management center has been completed.
The pyramid-shaped building is covered with adaptive solar panels that can automatically adjust their angle according to the intensity of sunlight.
Inside the control room, dozens of operators were troubleshooting the holographic projection system.
A three-dimensional model of Sunagakure floats in the center of the hall, with each newly created area flashing different status indicator lights.
The village's main road is being widened, and the modular residential areas on both sides of the road are mostly completed.
Further away, a hemispherical research center is being topped out.
Today, Sunagakure seems to have been infused with new vitality, and every new construction speaks of the determination to change.
The towering headquarters building of the Reform Society in Sunagakure.
A holographic projector projected a map of the Shinobi World onto the center of the round table, with five figures seated around it.
"Data analysis shows that our expansion plan has encountered a bottleneck. The main problem is resource allocation; our metal reserves are only enough to sustain our expansion needs for three months," Rasa said.
This is mainly because the desert environment of the Land of Wind limits the future development space of the Reform Society.
The desert may seem boundless, but it can hardly provide enough resources to support reforms, and existing exploration methods have been unable to break through the predicament.
Unless you can turn waste into treasure...
But it's very difficult!
Temari continued, "The water conservancy cooperation with the Land of Rain has been very successful, but the maintenance costs of the diversion channel have exceeded expectations. During recent maintenance, we also discovered signs of deliberate sabotage."
"It seems someone with ulterior motives doesn't want this project to proceed smoothly."
Kankuro switched interfaces, and a large amount of vibrant red data appeared on the projection screen.
"Border trade has been severely damaged, attacks on caravans have increased dramatically, and metal trade with the Land of Earth has suffered losses of up to 40%."
"What's worse is that our independently developed puppet products have encountered resistance in the market, with orders plummeting by 60%, and our cash flow facing the risk of breaking down."
"..."
" The Scientific Research Department is currently focused on building the underlying architecture of the biological computer, and apart from occasional device malfunctions, there have been no other obstacles so far," Hoshino said.
"But..."
" The Information Hub has just completed cross-referencing! The timelines of all abnormal events, the flow of supplies, and the movements of personnel all closely match the recent political developments in Daming Prefecture!"
The holographic map switched to an intelligence network map, and countless lines eventually converged to form the emblem of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.
The caravan's attack route avoided the daimyo's directly controlled territory, the source of the puppet boycott was a group funded by the daimyo, and even the sabotage of the diversion channel was subtly concealed by nobles.
Temari on the table. "It really was them!"
Fearing that the Reform Society would undermine feudal rule, they wanted to strangle Sunagakure from all sides, including the economy, people's livelihood, and infrastructure!
After all, when the Ninja Village was first established, it was positioned more as a military organization, but after the Reform Society gained momentum, its responsibilities gradually shifted towards comprehensive governance.
The feudal economic system, which was originally dependent on the daimyo, is being gradually dismantled by the nationalization of resources and the autonomy of trade promoted by Sunagakure.
The Daimyo may have realized that once the Reform Society's model succeeds, other ninja villages will inevitably follow suit, at which point the monopoly of the aristocratic class over land and resources will be completely broken, and the foundation of their rule will be shaken.
A brief silence fell over the meeting room.
To be honest, the Reform Society wasn't too afraid of the nobles targeting them, but the problem was that the Shinobi World's nobles were all one family.
If the Reform Society takes action against the nobles of the Land of Wind, nobles from other countries such as Fire and Earth are likely to join forces to exert pressure, or even incite their respective ninja villages to intervene.
Even more troublesome is that the Daimyo's government may be waiting for Sunagakure to make the first move, so that it can use this as an excuse to unite with other forces and nip the Reform Society's reforms in the bud.
"We need a plan that allows us to retaliate without giving our opponents a handle to use against us."
Hoshino's fingertips slid rapidly across the control panel, and a densely packed map of resource flow appeared on the holographic projection.
"We can use trade retaliation to create a breach, imposing an embargo on the core goods of the Daming Prefecture caravans. At the same time, we can use the Reform Society's puppetry and water-saving irrigation technologies as bargaining chips to sign exclusive trade agreements with neutral forces."
A moment later.
A complex economic map appeared on the holographic projection, with the gold line representing the noble trade routes and the silver line representing Sunagakure intertwined.
"Secondly, the Sunagakure Bank was established, using water conservancy projects and puppet industries as credit backing to issue ' Gold Dust Note ' to the public."
"These currencies will be backed by the resource reserves and future tax revenue of Sunagakure, and will gradually replace the old currencies issued by the Daimyo in the Land of Wind."
Rasa narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Economic war?"
"Not entirely." Hoshino pulled up the data model.
"The economic lifeline of the nobility lies in their monopoly on land and the right to issue currency. We can gradually undermine their economic system through Gold Dust Note."
The projected image changed, displaying a detailed plan for the Gold Dust Note.
People can exchange old currency for Gold Dust Note at a ratio of 1:1.2. Those who hold Gold Dust Note will have priority access to low-priced food, medical care, and educational resources provided by Sunagakure.
Rasa stroked his chin, pondering, "The idea is bold, but implementing the Gold Dust Note will definitely provoke a strong backlash from Daming Prefecture. We must be fully prepared."
He paused, then continued, "In particular, we must ensure a stable supply of goods and prevent people from falling into hardship due to exchanging for new currency. Otherwise, if we lose public support, our entire plan will be ruined."
Hoshino further explained, "We can prioritize establishing cooperative relationships with the Otogakure and the Amegakure, encouraging their caravans and black market transactions to use Gold Dust Note for settlement, thereby opening up channels for the circulation of Gold Dust Note in external markets."
Everyone nodded and began to refine the plan.
The meeting lasted a full day and finally finalized a detailed action plan.
