Red Dust

A heavy rain is like a holiday favor, there are few seasonal rivers, and oases big and small are like pearls dotted on the desolate desert, retaining the last hope of survival for the residents of the Land of Winds.

As a result, now, in the days when winter is coming to spring, and the warm wind is blowing frequently, the continuous rain and snow melt water, spreading everywhere in the sand sea that the sand ninjas have no time to plan, making a lot of noise.

The bodyguard Kankuro responded in a loud voice:

"Daimaru had already warned me before, and it was taken as a worrying joke by everyone, but now I am dumbfounded..."

In fact, desert plains without any sheltering terrain are really prone to flooding in the rainy season. It is not the result of excessive rainfall, but the result of extreme imbalance.

In the past, the Land of Winds was so dry that it didn't even rain much, and naturally no one had ever seen a flood.

"Water conservancy construction needs to be accelerated. It's okay to let the others go first. Spring sowing of the farm and preparation for the development of the pasture, otherwise this year will be delayed..."

Gaara ordered.

Chapter 1146 Search

There is no other country in the Ninja world that cares so much about clear water sources and desires the security brought by that touch of green like the country of wind.

Drought and hunger have shrouded this land for countless years. Even in the more than two years since Awaji and Naruto villages were opened, the food reserves in Shayin Village have grown to the point where all the people are soldiers, and they can’t finish it in another ninja war. From Fengying to ignorant young children, they are still spared no effort to open up more land, plant more crops, and open up pastures to support livestock.

A resident of the Land of Wind who is terrified of poverty and mad hunger, what cash crops, market laws, and supply and demand relations do you talk to him about?

Industries other than agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, in the Land of Wind, are basically impossible to rely on the independent development of the people, and all rely on top-down overall planning, such as fruits and vegetables, rubber, wine, mining, roads and bridges, culture, and service industries. De Daimaru and Gaara negotiated and decided to do it, and they also managed to move forward with canals, water conservancy projects, biotechnology, and agriculture and animal husbandry.

"After this accident, let those who have eaten their fill and still want to save their whole life's food, turn around the elm head, pile it in the granary, and can't sell it, except for wine. , I can only feed the mice, after a long time I can't finish it, and they all rot..."

Kankuro curled his lips. Although the rich boy did not suffer from back pain when he was standing and talking, he had never been hungry since he was a child. His little brain was still developing normally, and he could see clearly that in the current country of wind, there is a maddening movement among the people to enclose land and open up farms and pastures. Fortunately, the land is vast and sparsely populated, no matter how much you staking the land and spread it in the endless desert plains, you will not be able to turn the waves.

But if the foundation at the beginning is not very good, it will be difficult to change it when the dust settles.

This flood disaster is not without the fact that the pace is too fast, and the corresponding supporting management functions have not kept up.

Anyone with a good brain knows the importance of surveying topography, building flood discharge reservoirs, and improving water conservancy projects for agriculture and animal husbandry.

The swarms occupied the land, and there was no corresponding follow-up means, which led to the inability to respond when the danger came, and had to ask the village for help.

Gaara replied in a flat tone:

"Don't worry, I know it! The ownership of land is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and they won't let them do anything wrong..."

The current laissez-faire is only due to the lack of development staff. Let those greedy guys taste a little sweetness first, and when the time is ripe, they will be able to understand what is a state machine, what is justifiable, and what is expected!

This time, the trouble is not too small, and the relevant responsible persons will definitely be punished, so that later people can relax.

After all, the entire landform of the Land of Winds is like a thick layer of bare rock, covered with gravel, dotted with several unfathomable fissure lakes and impact craters.

In general, the quality of the surface soil is very unstable. Rainwater penetrates below, and it is easy to enrich into the underground quicksand layer. The surface soil is not particularly barren, but it is not suitable for fertility. Even if there is sufficient fresh water, it will take several years to repair it. to stabilize.

Destructive development, it is easy to let the bad consequences spread around.

Flood disasters are just a form of manifestation. In some bare rock areas and severely gravel surfaces, not to mention reclamation, even cacti are not viable. If it really becomes like that, and if you want to improve it, it is estimated that you will have to use the giant Tenseigan driving force field to disperse the sand. Thoroughly plough the soil.

In that case, there would be too much movement.

Fengying Wudaimu, who was thinking about it, saw that his subordinates had already started to deal with the aftermath, and then ordered the left and right:

"Get ready to go back, it's settled here!"

Kankuro slapped his mouth and followed Gaara's footsteps.

"I really don't know what you and Daimaru think. They know that it is not advisable for the villagers to pay too much attention to agriculture and animal husbandry, but they have no intention of interfering..."

Even the puppet masters at home can see that digging the potential around the continuously extending industrial chain of the puppet industry is the fastest way to make the country of wind prosperous and strong, but the village has no targeted policy tilt.

"Kankuro, those little episodes are nothing to worry about..."

Seems to understand that without saying anything, the mind of his personal bodyguard can't turn around,

"Traditional agriculture, the mode of intensive farming, has come to an end. Have you ever seen Daimaru's experimental farm in the south? How did the farm work! The huge puppet, wielding an iron plow, pulled the ground out of the neat ravines. , flying sowing, fertilizing, spraying pesticides, semi-automatically controlled water-saving irrigation systems, and integrated machinery for harvesting and threshing, in a blink of an eye, the endless grains will be sent to the warehouse..."

Hearing the rhetoric that sounded like a dream, Kankuro asked suspiciously:

"It's really that exaggerated? How do farmers in the land of fire farm? I've seen them before..."

Gaara waved his hand, interrupted Kankuro's questioning, and said slowly:

"You will find out when you have time. It will only be more terrifying than you think! I once asked Daimaru why there is a bumper harvest in the south and no more grain is included in the reserve..."

"How did he answer?"

"All the warehouses are full, and there is no place to put them, so they have to make wine, compost the residue, feed fish, make feed, etc. Do you know why the wine industry in Awaji Village has not been established for a long time, but it is famous and popular? Because those with bad quality are used as fuel to generate electricity..."

A huge amount of grain has been brewed, and a lot of raw wine has been brewed, and the essence that has been carefully selected at the end, no matter how it is blended, it will not be too bad.

After a pause, Gaara continued to explain:

"As for why those grains seem to have never appeared, it is because once they are put into the market, they will have a huge impact, the price of food will plummet, and farmers who rely on farming for a living will go bankrupt, especially in our country of wind, which has a weak foundation. , can't bear it at all..."

Because of this, Gaara doesn't care about those traditional farmers who are staking their horses. As long as they have that idea, they can run and go bankrupt at any time. As for the stubborn stubborn, it doesn't matter. The country of wind is so big. There may be a shortage of arable land.

This situation will not change for at least a hundred years.

"We... have mastered the commanding heights, and conservative forces that can't keep up will not be our opponents! The land market dominated by agriculture and animal husbandry is just the beginning..."

Gaara's eyes looked into the distance. There was a temporary tarmac, and a "special plane" specially built for Fengying was waiting for the owner to come.

"The necessities of daily life, such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation, are not trivial, but they are crucial 'just needs'. Once they are grasped by people with bad intentions, it will be over..."

Daimaru is well aware of the power of the "agricultural empire" in the new era. There is nothing more effective than making a fuss about food in terms of how to control a country.

Those budding puppet apprentices who may not even be able to use the three-body technique well, their combat effectiveness is indeed weak, and if they leave the ninja army, they are the target of the enemy.

However, in Daimaru's plan, their "battlefield" is not in front of the two armies, but in those seemingly inconspicuous deserts.

After all, the vast majority of people in the ninja world, including ninjas, are also mortal bodies, and the emotions and six desires of ordinary people are unavoidable.

In fact, the puppet technique of Shayin Village is very mature, and it can be transformed into a general-purpose civilian machine that can be used by low-level ninjas or even apprentices without any problems.

As long as there are sufficient fresh water resources, the sand ninja has a "big killer" that subverts the traditional small-scale farmer economic model of the entire ninja world.

Once another problem - the mass production of artificial fertilizers is overcome, the advantages of the land of the wind, the largest area in the ninja world, the flat terrain, and the ease of transformation and development can be fully exerted.

The puppet industry has consolidated the foundation of the strong country of the wind, and the unrivaled agriculture has in turn supported the puppet industry, so that it has no worries, and completely widens the gap between Shayin Village and other Ninja villages.

"With Daimaru's style, why are you so cautious?"

Kankuro asked suspiciously,

"If he had any new ideas in the past, he would not wait to release them and see the effect..."

"Because... people will die, and many people may die, this is not a joke..."

Gaara responded solemnly,

"The deaths and injuries caused by the war in the ninja world are really nothing compared to this kind of 'war' that kills people without blood. In the past, the competition of 'comprehensive strength' that Daimaru kept talking about, when it was really put in front of us, it was not only there Excitement, and fear..."

Glancing at Gaara's face, Kankuro was sure that his own younger brother was not joking.

"Then... is Daimaru confident?"

"I have no idea!"

The somewhat hesitant Kazekage Wudaimu thought about it and replied,

"I feel that Daimaru is releasing a monstrous beast. Once it gets out of control, it will be a catastrophe that sweeps the whole world..."

"Although what you said is a bit scary, but there are so many behind-the-scenes gangsters that endanger the entire ninja world, Daimaru... No, it's our sand ninja, why can't we be ranked?"

Seeing that the atmosphere of the conversation was getting heavier and heavier, Kankuro made a bad joke with a haha.

"That's it!"

Gaara smiled relievedly,

"In the past, Fengying only needed to worry about the safety of Shayin Village, but now he has to worry about the food, clothing, housing, and transportation of millions, even tens of millions of people in the country of wind, and I feel more and more stretched. Daimaru is right, it is indeed necessary to expand The village affairs agency..."

In such a big country of wind, if the flood threatens a few farms in the future, the "little things" will have to be taken care of.

"Is the Secret Art Office of the Counselor's Maintenance Department going to be established?"

"It's almost time! The elders group was reorganized into the Privy Council responsible for the affairs of the ninja army and the government council for civil affairs. The latter can consider using some talents outside the village as appropriate, even if it is not a ninja..."

A "cabinet"-like organization formed by secretaries ready to consult, assists Fengying to lead the two real power departments, and then extends the power.

In the past, the organization of the Ninja Village model was too extensive, and it was completely unable to keep up with the rapid development of the Wind Country.

Daimaru has proposed reorganization many times, but they were all put on hold because of too much resistance. Now it seems that the problem is getting more and more serious, and it is time to abandon the old tradition.

With Daimaru cooperating from outside, Kankuro took control of the Shadow Guard, and Temari created an eye-popping garrison with one hand. The under-nin and apprentices are weak, but they can really go deep into the grassroots. The next step is to completely deploy the entire country of wind.

In terms of the manpower and influence that can be mobilized, Temari, who often needs to show up now, is stronger than Daimaru and Gaara, and is a real official close to the people.

After returning to Shayin Village, Gaara received information from Konoha Village. Regarding the location and time of the "Five Shadows Conference", I calculated carefully, there is still nearly a month and a half. If you walk , It's time to set off now, but there is a special passenger plane now, and it can reach the Iron Country in less than two days, so there's no need to hurry.

In addition, the detailed investigation information about the two external bounty hunters, "Yanyanluo" who had appeared in Naruto Village and left and "Yamala" who had been reused, was also put on the Kawokage-sama. office desk.

After reading it carefully, the conclusions of the senior seniors of the secret intelligence department are attached at the end.

"Either there is really no problem, or there is an extremely tough backstage to cover them!"

Even the fifth generation of Fengying started to look sideways, but still can't find any doubts. There are only a handful of people in Shayin Village that can do this kind of thing. In Naruto Village, there is only one target candidate.

"Yes... Daimaru, what are you covering up?"

The trust was not hurt by this trivial matter, Gaara was just a little curious, whether Daimaru really has something or not even let the younger brother-in-law and Kazekage Fifth Generation's immediate boss know.

"For the time being... put it in the file and save it, let's stop here!"

When the order was issued, the direct descendants who were in the shadow of the invisible did not answer and left silently.

At the same time, in Naruto Village, Daimaru used a clever operation to modify his physical features. Luo Sha, with a half-mask on his face, sat in the office and looked at Daimaru's letter from Konoha Village.

"Pharmacist pocket? That Orochimaru's attendant..."

After the pseudonym "Yan Mo Luo" was stationed in Mingmen Village, Luo Sha thought that Daimaru would have more specific important things for him to do, but he has always been a decoration here, and his daily job is to supervise the work with a cold face, and finally he waited. After further arrangements, I didn't expect that it was not about the upcoming Five Shadows Conference, but a young man with a weak sense of existence, Yaoshidou.

"Longdi Cave's immortal art, go and see it..."

As for whether he can really beat him, Luo Sha, who has been a good player in Fengying for many years, still has a strong self-confidence. Considering that Daimaru is bound to win this young man, he must also arrange a series of back-ups to ensure that he is safe.

After handing over the work at hand to a few conscientious men, Luo Sha left a few notes and left Naruto Village, heading towards the general direction indicated by Daimaru.
