Perhaps if we continue at this level, these capitals will gradually grow and eventually truly evolve into a class.They began to expand externally. When they expanded externally, it was also the time when Konoha's rights began to extend and integrate the Fire Country market.

But all this has changed.

No one expected that a storm would drastically change everything. Urashiki destroyed Konoha Village and Koharu, who was on the wrong side of the team, and Mito Kadeni, impeached Junko, and seemed to forcibly interrupt all the processes. .

Junko's strong resistance to the sudden introduction of the railway policy broke all this.

The construction of railways is very demanding, and it is not just about technical requirements. The construction of railways also requires a safe and stable internal environment and a strong government to promote it.

The technological upgrades and industrial chain innovations brought by the railway have also dealt a powerful blow to the landlord class.

What it brought about was the emergence of real factories and the continued use of industry to absorb the population.

Junko's first policy in building railways was the nationalization of land.

There was a little snag, but it was passed.Danzo has completely stood with Junko and supports Junko's policies unconditionally.Tsunade chose to gamble, and she hoped she was right this time.

The third generation is neutral but also biased towards Junko. In this way, Koharu and Mito Kadeni will not have any say.

But they do not mean that the representatives cannot speak.

"This proposal," Xiaochun said angrily, "it's simply unreasonable. Have you ever put yourself in my shoes and thought about it, your land has been cultivated for many years, and suddenly it no longer belongs to you."

"What will the farmers think?"

"Junko." This time Mito Kadoyan was not happy either, patting the table and saying, "Girl, you are too childish, aren't you?! Forget about building the railway."

"Do you know what the outcome of this draft of yours will be? Do you want the entire Fire Nation to fall into civil strife?!"

"Hahaha~" Junko laughed and said, "I really want to remember that you two are landlords, right?"

"This draft is just to torture the landlords to death!"

Junko is not polite at all. The reason why Mito Katoen and Koharu Koharu have been able to occupy a place here.One of the important reasons is that these two are landlords themselves, and they are also representatives of most landlords.

Otherwise, how can these two old guys with no real estate support themselves and their families?

Relying on commissions from previous tasks or relying on current salary?

This is simply a joke!

They all have their own land, and they are also considered relatively big landowners in Konoha.

So it’s no wonder they passed this draft!

"As expected! You girl is really vicious!" Koharu said after sleeping: "If you insist on going your own way, you will harm Konoha! And how many people do you think will support your proposal?"

"Really?" Junko said with a sneer: "You should think that many people will oppose the passage of this proposal."

How many people would object?

The cause that Junko had laid for a long time finally began to bear fruit. The Hyuga family, the Uchiha family, the Nara family, and Danzo all had their own properties.If they want to expand production, it is no longer enough to rely solely on the people within the clan.

The contradiction between capital and landlords over robbing people has already existed. They need more free labor to enter their workshops that are becoming factories.

A serious labor shortage is the only factor restricting the development of workshops into factories.

In addition to these big families, other ninja families in Konoha also eagerly hope that Junko can give them some ways to make money.

Now having the support of people from these big families is the reason why Junko dares to implement this policy.

"Ahem~" Sandai coughed. He knew that Junko's policy could not be passed.But he still had to figure out the policy.

"Calm down." The third generation said like a peacemaker: "Junko, you should know the consequences of these, right? Konoha can't stand the trouble. If...these policies won't..."

"There are no ifs." Junko interrupted Sandai and said: "This policy is not one-size-fits-all. The fundamental purpose of this policy is to liberate the labor force."

"It's not about beating people to death. Of course, if someone wants to die, they will die."

"The policy will gradually advance to the entire Fire Country following the railway." Junko said: "I will find ways to minimize this cost, because as industrialization advances we need more labor."

Junko is not stupid. What she needs is for the landlord class to step aside rather than start a civil war.

It will start as a pilot project in Konoha itself, expand along the railways, and finally be rolled out across the country.

"The landlord class is the cancer of development." Junko said without any mercy: "From the end of the Third Ninja War to the present, the contradiction between man and earth has become increasingly obvious. Konoha too!"

"Land annexation has become more and more serious. Even in Konoha, there are already bankrupt farmers."

"There are many farmers who have worked hard all year and only paid land rent in the end."

"Mr. Koharu, Mister Mito Kaden?" Junko said with a sneer: "You seem to have raised the rent of the land recently, right?"

"That's all for Konoha!" Koharu, who was sleeping, said with a thick neck, "We are supporting Konoha's reconstruction."

"Really?" Junko asked, "Then how much did you donate?"

"How about we check the accounts?"

Junko's words immediately made Koharu, who was sleeping in bed, dumbfounded.

"Don't think that I don't know about the dirty things you did." Junko said: "I could turn a blind eye before, but now it's impossible! If you continue like this, those real farmers will not be able to do anything." They’re all starving to death.”

"Now they have to repay the money and pay you heavy land rent."

"What kind of life do they live, do you think I don't know?"

Junko had never paid attention to this before, and she knew the consequences of land annexation.But just after we left the war and entered peace, the conflicts were not very serious.Therefore, no attention is paid to this aspect in various reforms and developments.

But what Junko didn't expect was that land annexation would happen so quickly, and conflicts between man and land would come so quickly.

Junko originally planned to solve this problem.

Right now!

"I won't say anything false." Junko said directly: "What I need is not bankrupt farmers who only work in factories when they are desperate. Most of the farmers who have been exploited by you have no pants left." You still have to farm with your back facing the sky and your face facing the loess."

"What I need is free labor and farmers with money in their pockets and spending power!"

"Cokes, hamburgers, candies, things like that." Junko slapped the table and said, "It can't be luxuries that only you people can afford!"

"Even if it's leeks that everyone is here, why don't you guys have any roots left?"

The existence of the landlord class not only restricts the labor force and binds it to the land, but also restricts consumption ability.The products produced in Konoha need someone to consume them.

How much can the landlord class consume?It doesn’t consume much at all, but it can only put money in the pockets of ordinary people, including farmers.

Only this capacity can really be consumed.

Only then can there be a market!

So no matter what, Junko has to deal with these vampires on the land!

"Of course I didn't beat you to death with a stick." Junko said: "I am buying your land and paying for it! You will get the money, and after you get the money, you can make your own investments."

"Of course this is a matter~ Two veterans, please take the initiative. If you take the initiative, it will be a normal transaction."

"If you don't take the initiative, it's a forced purchase and sale."

"But if you violently obstruct it."

"That's confiscation!"

"In a word, if you want to be decent, I will let you be decent. If you don't want to be decent, I will help you be decent!"

That's it!

It was impossible for Junko to completely copy some policies from her previous life and invest in acquisitions as a means to ease conflicts.Junko is still happy to implement her policies as gently as possible.

Of course, if someone is not gentle, Junko is not gentle either.

"Last question." This time it was Shikaku who spoke. Of course he supported Junko's policy.As an emerging capital family that has acquired an industry, they also need manpower to expand the family industry.

Moreover, Lu Jiu's high IQ had seen the contradiction between capital and landlords very early, but he did not say that he was just waiting.

"Who will own these lands after they are taken back?" Lu Jiu asked, "How can they be considered state-owned?"

"Nominally, these lands are owned by the daimyo, and a land bureau will be established in the future." Junko explained: "All the land, except for some farmers' private land and homesteads, will be leased by the state to those in need at low prices. farmers are cultivating.”

"The specific relevant regulations will be gradually improved in the future."

"Then I'm done."

"Who objects?!"

Chapter 10 The Beginning of Iron and Blood

In this world, no class has ever voluntarily withdrawn from the game.

In the face of huge interests, they will do anything unimaginable.

Junko hopes to gradually implement her policies in an optimal way and minimize the pain of change as much as possible.But will everything really go as smoothly as Junko hopes?

"Look at these." Tsunade slumped on the chair helplessly.

As the Hokage, Tsunade felt for the first time what it felt like to be boiling in a pan of oil. She suddenly took over Konoha at the worst time, and watched everything get worse at the worst time.

"Junko..." Tsunade said weakly: "Do you know what the situation is like now? Can you... let some things go?"

"Let's discuss rebuilding Konoha first?"

It’s so difficult!The contradiction has become so acute that it is almost irreconcilable.Even if Tsunade wanted to adjust, she was unable to do so. The situation had gone beyond her expectation.

The only thing she could do now was to ask Junko to see if she could put her railway plans on hold.

Junko held the document and said, "Are these secret letters?"

"It seems that the ANBU directly under the Hokage are doing a pretty good job." Junko praised: "Have you started plotting yet?"

"This can't even be considered a conspiracy." Tsunade said helplessly: "This has moved from the dark to the open."

When the contradictions have become so acute that they are almost irreconcilable, opposition and conflict inevitably arise.

"The landlord must withdraw!" Junko said unceremoniously: "There is no choice."

"But can it be later?" Tsunade asked: "The situation is not good now."

Junko shook her head. It was not that she was unwilling, but that if she gave in, the bud she had finally cultivated would be strangled to death by these people!Urashiki's actions almost made all her efforts in vain.

This group of people are jumping out to oppose her reconstruction plan. If they bow their heads at this time, it will be difficult for them to have a chance to recover again.

"No!" Junko said without hesitation: "When they oppose my reconstruction plan, there will be no way out!"

"This is no longer just a personal dispute."

Yes, this is no longer a dispute between one person's interests.It is the dispute between Junko herself and the emerging capital she cultivated and the old landlord class.In the past, when we were being nurtured and grown, we might have been able to tolerate each other and co-exist.But now that it has begun to expand and grow, this tolerance is gone.

This is a life and death battle between two different classes.

"The reform will not stop once it starts." Junko said bluntly: "Unless I die! Otherwise it will never stop!"

Junko looked through the report, and she had already obtained some information from Shisui.Now that a more specific and complete report is being obtained from Tsunade, it is no wonder that Tsunade is restless under the current situation.

"It seems~" Junko put down the report and said: "These landowners have learned how to take advantage of public opinion."

"Inciting and coercing farmers who don't know the truth to fight against us."

"Can they not resist?" Tsunade asked helplessly: "The land is their lifeblood."

Junko didn't answer. The situation was more serious than she thought.The previous idea of ​​using money to purchase was too naive, thinking of letting these landowners go peacefully with a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other.

Give him money to invest in building factories and become beneficiaries and capital under the new system. Don't push people to a dead end, and try to prevent them from jumping over the wall and starting a civil war.

Problems that can be solved with money are good for Konoha and the Fire Nation.

Because they want to build factories, the money will be invested, stimulate domestic demand, drive the development of local industries, and absorb those who have been separated from the land to join the factories and become workers.

This will further expand capital.

In this way, when the railway was built from Konoha to the capital of the Fire Country, Junko had a very stable fundamentals.

With this basic base in place, Junko can gradually implement the remaining reform policies.

But after seeing this specific document, Junko realized that she was thinking too much!They don’t want to at all!As a saying from the previous life said, no class will take the initiative to withdraw.

"If they don't want to go in peace." Junko finally made a decision and said, "Then we can let them go less peacefully."

"It's time to let the red flames of Konoha burn and stand up."

"What are you going to do?" Tsunade said suddenly feeling a little bad.

"Against the local tyrants to divide their land." Junko said with a very cruel smile: "It's time to start the land reform movement!"

"What is that?" Tsunade felt that she understood, but she felt shocked when she understood.She suddenly realized that from now on, the once gentle reform would completely change.

What will replace it will be a change of iron and blood!
