I sell sweets in Konoha

Although he was still a big name, he still filmed as an actor. The two jobs together made Fenghua Xiaoxue feel exhausted.

What is even more tiring is the intrigue between countries, which makes Fenghua Xiaoxue feel even more tired.

The previously established strategy of approaching the Land of Fire and Konoha Village has changed with Junko's resignation. With the newly appointed Tsunade and the current internal situation of Konoha Village uncertain, it is difficult to adjust the entire strategy to give the optimal solution. Strategy.

But without the Country of Fire and the Leaf Village, it would be difficult for the Country of Snow to find an ideal breakthrough.

This time, for Fenghua Xiaoxue, it was not all about building the railway, but also a lot of tasks such as establishing diplomatic relations between the two countries.

"Let's make a long story short." Junko said straight to the point: "This railway is very important to me, and I know your policies. Although I am not the Hokage now, if I want to continue to make a difference in Konoha's political arena if."

"Railroads are a very important thing."

For Junko, this railway is her best achievement in being able to stand up and wash away the dirty water splashed on herself by Koharu and Mito Kabuto. Once the huge advantages and potential brought by the railway are confirmed.

That is an important support for Junko to rise again in the political arena of Konoha Village.

At the same time, it was also the beginning of her dealing with Koharu and Mito Menin who had moved to another dormitory.

So this railway is very important to Junko.

"These things." Junko dug out a lot of technical information from her bookcase and said, "You can take a look first."

"If such technical standards can be achieved, then proceed in accordance with these technical standards."

"Besides, do you still have contact with the director? Is he preparing any new movies recently?"

"You want to invest in a movie?" Fenghua Xiaoxue said in surprise: "Well...I can help you find a director. Recently..."

"I don't want to make a movie!" Junko shook her head and said, "I want to make a documentary!"

"A documentary about railroads!"

Chapter 8 Daimyo and Railways

"Railway..." The daimyo squinted his eyes and seemed to be considering this matter carefully.

"Father, do you need permission?" Chiyo said very uncertainly about this matter: "Does the Country of Fire really need this railway?"

"What do you think? Chiyo." The daimyo is quite satisfied with Chiyo's performance in recent years. It seems that he is developing towards a qualified daimyo.It's much better than the old dandy who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.

"Railways are only found in the Land of Snow." Chiyo said, "I heard that this thing's carrying capacity is very powerful."

“But it’s expensive to build and it’s also expensive to maintain.”

"But this is the motion proposed by Junko." The daimyo put away his fan and said, "That girl will not do anything detrimental to herself. She has a lot of strange knowledge and foresight that neither you nor I have."

"Yes, father." Chiyo said respectfully, "But this proposal also involves other city lords from the Land of Fire."

"My son is worried..."

It seems that from the perspective of the higher-ups, especially the daimyo faction, Junko's suggestion has become somewhat correct.But I have to say that she did some really great things when she was Hokage, and it is also of great significance for learning and reference for Konoha's economic construction and development.

Therefore, every policy of Junko is worthy of study and promotion.

But this time is different!

"The entire Fire Country is a game of chess." The daimyo looked at the fan and said hesitantly, "Junko, this girl, is playing really hard!"

railway!Unlike any of Junko's policies in the past, most of Junko's previous policies were only implemented in Konoha Village itself.Other Fire Nation city lords learned from it and began to learn from it.

Learning is optional.

But this time is different!Regardless of whether the local city lord is willing or not, a unified policy must be implemented.

Those that need to be implemented include, but are not limited to, land acquisition, immigration, bandit suppression, construction, etc.

Seeing what needed to be implemented, Chiyo quickly realized that this railway construction was not a simple railway construction.It was a reform measure carried out through railway construction.

In the past, various city lords in the Country of Fire had a high degree of freedom to make decisions. They could have private soldiers, set their own taxes, etc.

But this time is different. The city lords of towns where railways run through can only obey the taxes set by Konoha Village or the Fire Country daimyo, and cancel all crossing taxes for railway crossings.

Therefore, the city lords must uniformly follow the arrangements of the Fire Country daimyo or the Leaf Village to suppress bandits.

The city lord is not allowed to own any private troops, and the city lord no longer has the right to set taxes privately.

The benefits can be seen by Chiyo, which has very obvious advantages for strengthening centralization!

But there is also a problem for the daimyo, that is, who is the center?

Konoha Village has taken away too many rights that originally belonged to the daimyo, and these are very important.The power of diplomacy, the power of declaring war, etc.Now if the railway is built, the Daimyo may really be completely eliminated.

There is no need to think about where this center and center will be.

"Father, we can refuse..." Chiyo said: "Junko girl, didn't you nod and agree to take the lead in establishing her bank?"

The existence of the bank allowed Junko to directly take away the economic power of the Fire Country.Although in theory the only central bank with the power to issue currency still belongs to the daimyo, in reality this belongs to Junko.

Because she is the only one who has this financial strength and also controls more than 80% of the banks in the Country of Fire.

Of course, it was thanks to Tsunade that I got to this point!

"Did you know that there was another sentence in Junko's letter?" The daimyo put down his fan. Although he was unhappy, he had already made a decision and said: "The general trend of the world is vast. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish!"

This is the last sentence in the letter. It can be said that all Junko's thoughts have been expressed clearly.

The Daimyo knew that it was difficult to make a decision on this matter, but a decision had to be made.

Junko spent a year building this railway, and now Danzo, Sandai and Tsunade all support her.Although Koharu and Mito Menyan objected, it was to no avail.

At least within this year, Junko's various decrees were still flowing unimpeded in Konoha.

So the opinion here is clear.

"Either you voluntarily lie down on the ground and let me run over you, or resist and let me run over you." Junko said while lying on the chair: "I have sent messages to the city lords of all the cities that the railway runs through."

"Unified management is something that must be done."

"You are really ruthless." Fenghua Xiaoxue complained: "You are actually so domineering."

Fenghua Xiaoxue had always thought that Junko should be a very gentle person, but now she found that she was not.Junko is very domineering!She didn't allow those city lords to bargain on this matter at all. Everything was done according to what she had formulated, and they either agreed or were run over.

Even the great names are no exception!

"Otherwise?" Junko asked, "If I want to talk to them from city to city until we talk about the daimyo..."

"Then I don't have to do anything this year."

"Do you think those city lords will obediently let me acquire land in their cities to build stations and set up military stations to suppress bandits?" Junko laughed and said, "You probably don't know that some of the city lords' private soldiers are those bandits, right?"

"It's not uncommon for bandits to respect themselves!"

It can be said directly that the entire ninja continent has not emerged from the Warring States Period for more than a hundred years.And in less than a hundred years, there have been three ninja wars!The authority of the daimyo was already severely weakened. Each city lord set up private taxes and levied private entry and exit taxes on business travelers.There are simply too many!Some of the city lord's private soldiers even acted as robbers.

Peace is just that there is no war in the ninja world for the time being, but except for the ninja village, banditry is still serious in other places.

"Building railways is to integrate these forces." Junko said: "If there is no integration, I will not be able to build a railway in ten years."

"And didn't your country of snow also build a railway? Don't tell me that it was negotiated."

"This... it's true." Fenghua Xiaoxue didn't know whether it was pride or embarrassment, "Since my father... I have been more... respectful..."

"Ah~ I know." Junko was too lazy to listen to this and said: "I understand this set of things, but it's useless! Now that I've started, I don't plan to stop. The entire Fire Country will be completely integrated with the laying of the railway network. .”

"To form a truly complete modern country with unified political orders and unified market."

What Junko wants to do is to build the Fire Country into a modern country. First, break the original political structure from the superstructure, conduct thorough integration, and establish a high-efficiency and solid political foundation that is consistent with subsequent economic development.

In the past, it was just a small fight, and his decrees were at best wandering around the village.

But this time is different. If the railway does not leave the village and cannot connect the entire Fire Country, then everything will be meaningless!So Junko made up her mind this time to do this even if she offended any of her relatives.

If a truly perfect and unified modern country cannot be formed, then building railways is just a joke.

In this matter, Ah San is an example.

A piece of land can be negotiated for a year, but Junko can't afford to delay.

"Junko."

At this moment, Shisui's figure suddenly appeared here, holding a letter in his hand and saying: "The Daimyo has replied."

"How is the situation?" Junko immediately took the letter and asked.

"Just see for yourself." Shisui said, "The Daimyo's ideas are all on the envelope."

"Okay, I understand." Junko eagerly took the envelope.

She knew that the biggest obstacle to her own railway construction was not Konoha Village. Koharu and Mito Kabuto were just grasshoppers after the autumn, and now it seemed that they were about to get real power.

But being pinned to death was only a matter of time.

The real question is whether the daimyo can figure it out. If he can figure it out, the rest will be easy.

Junko immediately opened the envelope and read it carefully.

"Very good!" After Junko read the envelope, she immediately slammed the table with excitement and said, "Very good!"

"Let's get started!"

"Those city lords, bandits and landlords!"

"We can just run over each other!"

"Let's go find Tsunade." Junko stood up and said, "It's time to let those old guys quit."

"You mean to let them?" Fenghua Xiaoxue suddenly felt a little scared. She was just here to talk about the railway.Could it be that I am about to experience a coup?

"It's not those two people." Junko shook her head and said, "These two people are teammates of the Third Generation after all, and of course they are also Danzo's. So I still have to give these two people face."

"And I'm not talking about these two people." Junko said, "I'm talking about two classes. One class will withdraw from the game in the future."

"But there is another class, they will not withdraw voluntarily and voluntarily."

"Landlord!"

right!It’s the landlord class!After getting the approval of the daimyo, Junko will start to attack this class. The existence of the landlord class is also the basis for the existence of the unique power class of the city lords.

Landowners are also the biggest obstacle to the development of productive forces in the world.

There is industrialization technology but no real industrialization because landowners tie a large amount of labor to the land.

Industrialization cannot be supported by sufficient labor force.

This group of people is Junko's first target, and they are also the ones who must be eradicated when building the railway!

The reason for the slow construction of the Asan railway is inseparable from these landowners.

Junko naturally had to deal with these first.

"Let's go." Junko said, "Equal land rights, the land is state-owned."

"Let those vampires know what red ghosts are!"

"It's coming!"

Chapter 9 Capital and Society

Will the future Fire Nation be a country of capital or a country of society?

This is not easy to say.

If we follow the normal course of history, Naruto should have started promoting technology after he took office. Judging from the future that Junko has been to, Naruto still prefers those strange new technologies.

The promotion of new technologies drives the improvement of productivity, and the improvement of productivity brings a large number of commodities.

Goods needed dumping grounds and factories needed more labor. At this time, craftsmen began to be affected.The contradiction between the emerging bourgeoisie and the old-school landlord class is deepening day by day.

The deepening of conflicts will promote social changes. It is hard to say what these changes will be.

Maybe it’s a top-down reform, or a bottom-up revolution.

But the final result will gradually evolve into the era of capital.

This may be the course of the history of this world.

Now, however, these processes have been changed!That's because of the appearance of one person.Junko Muto!

Her appearance and actions prove how much influence one person can have on the evolution of history.Junko fully promotes the development of business and the transformation of workshops into real factories, and actively develops new technologies.

As a result, the seeds of capital have appeared in Konoha Village.

And these sprouts are growing very well under Junko's protection and support.
