Chapter 201 Obstruction
After a short few days of rest, Konoha's reinforcement army, Haohao Tangtang, set off.

Conan's goal this time is very clear, that is to complete this large project before autumn, only in this way can the last wave of crops be planted, and then achieve the effect of regaining the hearts of the people.

You must know that this is the most difficult and most needy time for the Land of Winds. The previous war happened to be the time when the seeds were sown. A large part of the country's food depends on the country of the river, and the country of the river has a bad harvest, and the country of the wind is naturally messed up.

If the autumn planting is delayed, it will be more difficult to fill the hole in the Kingdom of the Wind. It is impossible for Konoha to spend so much money to buy food for the Kingdom of the Wind.

Even if Konoha does not take away the grain-producing areas of the Kingdom of the Wind, it is estimated that many people in the Kingdom of the Wind will starve to death, so now is the best time for Konoha to intervene, and there is nothing better than sending charcoal in the snow. .

If it is true from the perspective of interests, but from the perspective of emotions, Conan also does not want to cause so many people to die for no reason.

Thinking of this, Conan shouted loudly: "Hurry up, you must arrive at the city of merchants before this evening."

The city of merchants is actually the city that Conan planned to build before the trade between the country of fire and the country of wind. This city is the most important thing for the development of Konoha. There is even a special ninja stationed here for a long time and a separate branch for accepting and assigning tasks, and Conan also wants to see how the city is developing.

In the evening, Conan and his party finally arrived at the city of merchants.

The people who had Konoha had already prepared everything. After the Konoha people settled down, Conan took Jiraiya and Kakashi Naruto to observe in the city.

Walking on the streets of the city of merchants, Conan felt a little surprised by the environment here.

From Conan's point of view, with such a bridge for trade between the two countries, the businessmen of the two countries would rush towards them like a shark smelling fishy, ​​but the scene in front of him was completely different from what Conan had imagined. different.

The streets were sparsely populated, empty houses abounded, and there was no sign of a commercial city at all. Conan was extremely puzzled by this.

Thinking of this, Conan asked suspiciously the local person in charge of Konoha who was with him all the way.

"Take the wind from the bamboo, what is going on here, why is it so withered? Is there any problem?"

As one of the most trusted subordinates of the three generations, Conan also had a lot of dealings with the people in front of him, so he was not polite and asked directly.

Takekaze looked helplessly at Conan and explained the reason.

"It wasn't like this a few days ago, it was still very prosperous at that time."

???

Conan was even more puzzled when he heard this.

"It wasn't like this a few days ago? Then what happened?"

Take Feng slowly began to tell: "A few days ago, a big man came to the city of Shang. He is the uncle of the daimyo of the Fire Country, Togashi Yoshihiro."

"Toshihiro Yoshihiro? What does this have to do with him?"

Conan has also heard about this person. His reputation in the Land of Fire is not very good, and he is especially greedy for money and sex.

"He formed an alliance with the nobles of the other Fire Kingdoms, divided up the share of the city of merchants privately, and announced that the merchants who came here could only sell their goods to them, and they were not allowed to sell them privately. But it’s very cheap, and many people can’t even recoup their business costs, so people left one after another as a last resort.”

Hearing this, Conan's brows frowned into a word of Sichuan. Things are really troublesome.

Before, Conan only thought about the problem of banditry between the two countries due to the lack of commercial routes. Although he knew that many bandits were private forces raised by these big merchants, Conan felt that as long as the merchants were given enough security to ensure that the commercial route would be able to It is booming, but Conan forgot one thing, that is, the country of fire is not governed by Konoha.

Konoha's crackdown on smuggling actually facilitates some people to some extent. If these big nobles send out bandits and small merchants, they can find ways to evade or defend, but when they use their official status to blatantly threaten At this time, this is the most helpless thing for those small businessmen.

"It's really true." Conan felt a little helpless for a while, the country of fire was separated from the military and government, and there was really no good way for such a thing, and Conan also had a headache for a while.

Unexpectedly, the carefully crafted plan would be ruined by a few moths, which made Conan not know what to say for a while.

"Sure enough, the plan can't keep up with the changes. No matter how good the plan is, it can only be a plan. Once it is actually implemented, it will encounter all kinds of unimaginable troubles." Conan couldn't help feeling emotional.

Suddenly, a noise at the corner of the street interrupted Conan's thinking.

"My lord, this is the goods that I spent all my money to buy, you can't take it away."

I saw a fat businessman hugging a high-spirited middle-aged man and crying unceasingly.

"What is taking, isn't that giving you money?"

"But, that money is too little."

The middle-aged man pushed the fat man away impatiently: "Didn't you hear Master Yibo's order before? You are not allowed to sell things privately, and if you want to sell, you can only sell them to us."

"Then we won't sell it, let's go now, please return the things to us, my lord, I have an 80-year-old mother to support, and a seven- or eight-year-old child. Once they go bankrupt, they will all starve to death." Ah." The fat man cried with emotion, and even Conan silently praised the fat man's performance.

Watching the fat man's performance, the middle-aged man said impatiently: "This is what Master Yibo meant. Are you sure you want to disobey?"

When the fat man heard that the crying stopped abruptly, he was too afraid to speak.

"This guy, isn't this a robbery?" Naruto, who had the most sense of justice, heard what the fat man said was so tragic, and shouted to rush forward, but was stopped by Conan.

Hearing Naruto's movement, the middle-aged man's eyes moved slightly to look at Conan and the others.

"So it's Konoha's Conan-sama."

"Huh? Do you recognize me?"

"Well, I recognize it." The middle-aged man had a smile on his face: "I met you once when I was in Daming Mansion. I am the housekeeper of Lord Yibo."

Conan thought about it, it seems that he met this guy when the third generation nominated himself to be the fifth generation and went to meet the daimyo himself, no wonder this guy is so respectful, ordinary ninjas don't care, but Hokage wants to establish a good relationship with everyone.

"Hey, let me tell you, how can you rob? Haven't you seen how pitiful their family is?" Naruto jumped out and asked.

The butler glanced at Conan, then looked back at the fat man with a smile: "Didn't you sell this batch of goods to us?"

The fat man wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and kept nodding his head: "Yes, yes, that's right, I sold it to your lord."

Saying that, the fat man ran away without looking back.

Seeing that the fat man had left, the housekeeper smiled again and looked at Conan: "Master Conan, I still have something to do, so let's go first."

"This guy!" Naruto shouted dissatisfiedly looking at the butler's back.

Conan also meditated silently. Although these people, including that famous uncle, seemed inconspicuous to him, he still couldn't kill them.

This is a fundamental problem in the system. Even if one of these things is killed, another will emerge, and it cannot be eliminated at all.

But such obstacles must be eradicated. In Conan's plan, this business route is very important, and many things must rely on this business route.

Thinking of this, Conan became a little irritable.
