Konoha is demonic

Chapter 138 Xijing is very hot... Noisy!

Because I was traveling by car, there was not much delay along the way, so I arrived in Xijing in three days.

Saitama City, the capital of the country of fire, is also called Xijing because a famous mountain range near the city is called Xishan.

Lin also stood on a high place, looking at this huge and orderly city from afar.I always feel that in this city, there is likely to be a poor, hairless hero living out of interest.

Saitama City can be said to be the largest and most prosperous city in the world today.

It is said that the resident population is as high as 40, and the floating population is as many as 20.

The resident population, that is to say those who have the ability to settle inside the city.Residents who have been recognized and issued identity certificates by the court of the Fire Nation.

Most of the so-called floating population are migrants who live outside the city walls and make a living by working and serving the city.

Most of them came here with different dreams, wanting to settle down in this most prosperous city and become an upper-class person.

It's almost the same as my Celestial Dynasty, there are so many "Northern Drifters".

People with a little bit of ability, a little bit of ambition, and even some people who want to suffer for a few years and earn more money, all gather here.

The vitality of this city is extremely strong, which is inseparable from those who come to this city for various reasons to make a living.

It's just that the world has been at peace for more than ten years, and this Qitama city is full of land households, and the housing prices are soaring, making it difficult for outsiders to gain a foothold.

……

That afternoon, the four members of Class Nine arrived at Saitama Castle in a carriage.

When there were still more than a dozen miles away from the city wall, there were already large-scale residential areas.

Like a small community or a street.

Those who could not gain a foothold in the city settled near the city.When there are more people, there will be a scene of prosperity.

It's just that the security of such places is generally not taken seriously.

The imperial court generally only dispatched one tax official, and the local people handled everything except taxation.

This has given birth to a lot of forces, big and small, who manage the streets, buy and sell, and are responsible for maintaining law and order.

Lin Ye and the others were in the carriage, and they saw some fierce and strong men patrolling the street with big swords on their waists.

I even saw a thief surrounded by several big men with scars on his face and tattoos on his body, and he chopped off a finger on the spot.

Yoshino Yoshihara, who was traveling with him, was very accustomed to this, and explained: "There are many towns and towns attached to Xijing, and most of them are small in size. Chaozi, they all turn a blind eye and close one eye..."

Lin Ye has also gone out on missions several times in the past few months, which can be regarded as seeing the general situation of this era.

The situation in this world is very similar to that of Japan. Due to insufficient governance and centralized power in various places, many places need to rely on local organizations and forces to maintain stability.

These organizational forces are generally fierce externally and maintain their own status, but they are more gentle internally, and the rules are very strict.

In fact, Ninja Village is the ultimate form of this type of organization.

Force is too great to restrain, on the one hand, it needs to rely on, and on the other hand, it needs to be vigilant.

The war between ninjas, the courts of all countries are happy to see it happen.

It's as if they are very happy to see the extreme organizations and forces fighting each other and weakening each other's strength.

Along the way, we saw a lot of things.

When approaching the city wall of Saitama City, the neighborhood was already bustling.Pedestrians are also crowded with each other.There is a constant flow of businessmen and pedestrians, and the sound of hawking is endless.

On the contrary, after passing through the city gate, the prosperous festival-like scene gradually disappeared.

Yoshino Yoshihara explained: "The management in the city is strict, and too much noise is not allowed. It is not allowed to set up stalls along the street, and you need to go to designated towns and squares to do business. And there is a relatively strict curfew in the city. Once it is dark, ordinary people cannot go to the streets. They were found You have to be locked up in a jail. Over time, the towns and towns outside the city have become more prosperous because they are more free. Especially at night, many places are full of feasts and songs all night long. There are too many places to have fun. It's..."

When he said the last sentence, he looked at the world and said it was useless.

But it's a pity that Tiandi Wuyou is so lazy that he doesn't even want to have fun with men.

What a pity, Xijing Fengyue places are so prosperous, with so many patterns and varieties... Even Zilai from Muye Village has heard of Xijing's bustle, and is fascinated by it...

Lin also found out when he climbed high and looked far away that the layout of Saitama City is very regular, with streets, squares, and cities horizontally and vertically.

From a distance, it looks like a very regular block of tofu.

In terms of area alone, it may be the size of twenty or thirty Konoha villages.

The carriage ran for a while, and finally stopped in the north of the city.

When I got out of the car, I saw that it was a big house with the words "Yoshinoya" written on the door.

Yoshino Yoshihara said proudly: "This plaque is a reward that the first generation Patriarch received from the first generation daimyo, and it has been 110 years!"

Lin also glanced around, there were no pedestrians on the wide and tidy street.Most of the surrounding areas are high-walled courtyards.

According to Yoshino Yoshihara: Qitama City is expensive in the north and cheap in the south, poor in the west and rich in the east.

That is to say, most of the dignitaries live in the north of the city, commoners live in the south, rich businessmen and chambers of commerce live in the east, and poor people without money live in the west.

It has been more than 200 years since the city was established, and it has been expanded several times, and the pattern has been relatively fixed.

The four members of the ninth class were housed by Yoshino Yoshihara, and a middle-aged man came to talk.

This person is the uncle of Yoshino Yoshihara, the eldest son of the right minister of the country of fire, and the main talker of the Yoshino family.It seems that he is less than 40 years old, but he is somewhat powerful.

As the minister on the right, the head of the Yoshino family is old and has a prominent position, so naturally he would not come to see the four of them.

Don't even think about seeing the old man unless you come to him personally.

It is already a great deal of face for the young master in charge to come forward to receive him.

This "old and young master" Yoshino Kazuhikari was very polite, and arranged the basic necessities of life meticulously, but he didn't say anything about the mission.

The dinner that day was very sumptuous, and the ninth class divided the seats among four people, each with [-] dishes.

Of course, the menu size is very small.As always, aristocratic demeanor!

It was dark after dinner, and it was useless for that Yoshino Yoshihara to visit Tiandi again.

It seemed that the "old and young master" didn't want to contact Konoha Ninja directly, but passed the message through Yoshino Yoshihara.

Yoshino Yoshihara learned the specific situation from Yoshino Kazuko, and told the four members of the ninth class openly and honestly: "To tell the truth, the Yoshino family is now facing a very serious challenge. A few days ago, because the food road was cut off, the city Several grain-selling families have united to lower the price of grain, forcing Yoshinoya to drastically reduce its food reserves. Moreover, there are new restaurants opening near Yoshinoya’s restaurants..."

"Soon the annual Grain Merchant Conference and Cooking Contest will start. In the past, even if it failed to win the first prize, it would be a loss of face, but this year is completely different! If Yoshinoya folds in the two events The halberd is likely to fall into the enemy's trap, and when the wall falls and everyone pushes back, the Yoshino family will lose power."

"And soon the end of the year is coming, and the official examination will begin. Normally, although the head of the family is old, it is not a problem to continue for one term. But if the Yoshinoya loses power at this time, it will be a big deal for him to resign and retire. It became inevitable..."

The official examination is the official performance appraisal.Every three years.

The Fire Nation's imperial court will assess the performance of officials in these three years from various aspects, praise and promote officials who are good, and demote officials who are poor.

And now is the critical period of whether the right minister can be re-elected smoothly...

The meaning is: Now some political opponents have seized the opportunity to take down Yoshinoya, where the minister of the right is located, through external tactics.In this era when being an official depends entirely on family reputation, once there is a problem in the family, the official career will come to an end.

And once the Patriarch of the Yoshinoya loses his position as the right minister, the lost Yoshinoya is likely to face a fatal blow!

Lin also scratched his head helplessly: [But, what can we do about this kind of thing?Konoha ninjas can't directly interfere with the government affairs of the Kingdom of Fire! 】
