I sell sweets in Konoha

"Um..." Tsunade suddenly turned green.

"So many things?" Tsunade said exaggeratedly: "These... what do you want to do? Agriculture?"

"Of course." Junko said, leaning on the table: "Agriculture is the cornerstone of national security. How to ensure that every citizen can eat, eat good food, and eat meat. This is a very important matter! And economic transformation cannot Only with industrialization, how farmers transform from small-scale peasant economy to a new economic system is also very important."

Although the previous approach has won the support of most farmers and liberated the labor force to a certain extent, this does not mean that it is over.

Although the land was distributed to farmers, the landlord class was eliminated to the greatest extent.However, farmers who have obtained land are still essentially small farmers and self-sufficient at this time.Moreover, due to backward production tools and low-yielding crops, agriculture has not become a boost to industry.

It has not really liberated productivity. Even the rural areas around Konoha still require a lot of manpower for farming.

In this case, although it has alleviated the contradiction between man and land and won the support of the people, it has not essentially changed the rural economic structure.

This is still the same small-farmer economic situation as before, and because there are too many poor households in rural areas, they do not have enough production tools, which makes agricultural production appear to be high human input and low product output.

It’s not that there is no solution, a more reasonable solution was given in the previous life.

It's a commune.

"Completely break the previous rural economic structure, break through the small farmer economy, and allow agriculture to achieve intensive, large-scale and mechanized production." Junko said: "This is a necessary step, and it is also very beneficial to current farmers. . Concentrate the human and material resources in rural areas for joint use."

"At a time when farmers generally have no money, production equipment, and high-quality seeds, we bring farmers together to cooperate in production."

"We are here to provide them with the necessary seeds, production tools, and concentrate the rural labor force for production."

“People from our Academy of Agricultural Sciences provide scientific guidance during production.”

"As for land, we allow farmers to retain a certain amount of private land and acquire excess land at reasonable prices." Junko continued: "In today's world, farmers have no technology, no money, no tools, except for manpower. After that, we will contract the land we acquired to farmers who want to contract the land at low prices.”

"From the commune to the joint land contract system."

Commune, this is an experience from the previous life.Is communization a wrong decision?Not really!Communalization is a good policy for transforming from a small-scale peasant economy. It is a good policy for farmers who have almost nothing left except land and manpower.

It also reflects the characteristics of concentrating efforts to do big things, but the bad thing is acting too hastily in the later stage, leaping forward, running and so on.

So don't act too hastily. It is truly reasonable to formulate appropriate policies at the right time and advance steadily.

The current surroundings of Konoha, including places where the Fire Nation's policies have advanced, are basically at this level.After receiving the land, they were left with nothing. Even if they were given some production tools during the distribution, it was not enough for the farmers.At this time, the state not only needs to help provide resources and distribute them in a reasonable way, but also needs to use existing tools and human resources together.

And this is the reason for the existence of communes at this stage.

"But..." Tsunade looked at so many documents and said, "You don't need so many, right?"

"Of course it is necessary!" Junko said: "Otherwise, what do you think? Should the untouchables shout long live after eating a mouthful of rice? They can eat well, eat well, and ensure enough vegetables, meat, eggs, and milk. Ingesting it will be of great benefit to enhancing the physical fitness of the people of the entire Fire Country."

"And to be more selfish, the factory doesn't need a group of sickly people who can't get enough to eat, with yellow faces and skinny muscles! What they need are social animals with strong bodies and brains!"

"If your physical fitness is not good, do you believe that if you give them a blessing, they will all be exhausted in a day or two?!"

"Don't underestimate these~" Junko said: "These are the basis for the introduction of new policies in the future. If you can't eat well, I won't dare to launch follow-up policies at all!"

"I...I understand." Tsunade said with a dark face: "Do these things...need to be stamped one by one?"

"It's not a stamp!" Junko shook her head and said, "You're not a rubber stamp. These policies require professional discussion, research, piloting, and promotion. If it's just a stamp..."

"Are you going to watch the policy get out of control?"

Chapter 19 Capital

Capital, this is not Junko's first time here.

But it was the first time for Sakura.

Junko needs to come to the capital to stay for a year or two. Her official name is Daimyo, and she also has the title of economic and political advisor invited by the Daimyo.Her purpose here is simple, to carry out political reform and promote the economic development of the capital.

Simply and directly, without any polite words.

The daimyo told the outside world very straightforwardly that he was here to reform the administrative system of the capital and promote economic development.

Of course, this also brings a drastic signal, that is, the reform and transformation of the entire country!Because for this era and this kind of national system, the daimyo represents the country and the will of the country on the surface.

This time the wave of reform finally began to roll.

Sakura didn't feel this way yet, she was just looking at this place for the first time.The capital of the Kingdom of Fire was the first place she had arrived in her life.A city built on a mountain.

Just like Konoha, you can already see many factories under construction here.

But the difference between this place and Konoha is that there are more period buildings here.

This is like a city traveling through time and space. You can see the city defense system and architectural style of the previous era here, and you can also see the new things of this era beginning to take root here.

It's like a place where the past and the present blend.

Simple but changing.

"The burden is so heavy..." Junko sighed.

"Master?" Upon hearing this, Sakura said, "Let me get it for you."

"Hehehe~" Junko shook her head and smiled and said, "I'm not talking about this baggage, but that baggage."

"It's the capital of the country!"

The capital of the country is like a place where history seems to have changed now.This may be the place where history alternates. Konoha was destroyed but also ushered in new life.The conservative forces there were swept away, and they threw off their baggage and traveled lightly.

But the capital is different. It hasn't changed much here. Over time, the aristocrats and conservative forces here are intertwined.

If you want reform, you must take action against these people.

The situation here is more complicated than in Konoha, and reform is more difficult!

"You go back to Konoha tomorrow." Junko thought for a moment and said immediately: "Go find Danzo and Tsunade. Ask Tsunade to send a group of Daiming Guards over. The more the better."

"We want the most elite people, and at the same time, let Danzo come with this group of Daiming Guards."

"Danzo-sama?" Sakura trembled when she heard this.

To be honest, she didn't have a good impression of Danzo, who seemed a bit gloomy.If she could help it, she would never want to come into contact with this person!

"Yes." Junko said, "You don't need to say too much when you go back tomorrow. Just say that when you come here, I will cook for him personally."

"Oh..." Sakura nodded, but she still didn't quite understand some of the questions.

"Sakura." Junko suddenly said: "You must learn to protect yourself from now on and come back with Danzo. You must first learn pharmacology knowledge, chemistry knowledge, herbology, poisons, and biology."

"Your task is very heavy, are you confident?"

"Yes!" Sakura replied neatly: "It must be possible."

"Yes." Junko took out a small scroll and said, "This is the Yin seal. You should learn this first."

The Yin Seal is the foundation, and it is also one of the sources of a large amount of chakra.In this case, let Sakura learn this first, and follow the history and original work.And this thing should be quite simple for Sakura.

For Junko, the challenges will really begin in the next two years.

The capital is different from Konoha. After Konoha experienced the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Night of Uchiha, the collapse of Konoha, and the destruction of Konoha, the division of power was not particularly obvious, and the classes were not stable. Even if there were families , but after experiencing Junko's reforms, ordinary ninjas and people still have ways to achieve a class jump.

But the capital is another story!

the next day...

Danzo rushed to the capital after a long journey. This time he came in a very high-profile manner. After arriving, he first paid a high-profile visit to the main families and senior officials here.Then he entered the Daming Mansion to visit the Daming.

"Danzo-sama is so majestic." Junko said with a smile, "You really stole the show today."

"Isn't this what you mean?" Danzo said, "Let me come here, but this country is really a dragon's den and a tiger's den."

"Can you handle it?"

"If you just use violence to completely shatter the reconstruction, then of course you can." Junko said: "But if you want to go smoothly, then you have to take your time. But we have absolute force in our hands."

"I'm not afraid of them, and of course I don't want blood to flow into a river."

In the capital, the biggest problem in this place is that the nobility, wealthy businessmen, powerful officials, and the underworld are all intertwined. There is me among you, and you among me.And these people are not afraid of big names at all when they are superiors, and they exploit them at all levels when they are subordinates.

To them, the daimyo is a common master, mutual recognition, and a red line of self-restraint within a framework.

Because of the existence of daimyo, each family can exist with each other and sit down to divide their interests, without completely losing control and killing each other to the death, with blood flowing like rivers.But because of this, the daimyo has a strong sense of existence, but has no real and practical rights.

This is also the reason why some people blocked Tsunade to collect debts in the first place.

"What are you going to do?" Danzo asked: "Two years is not enough for you to clean up those nobles."

"But it's enough for them to decline!" Junko said: "I paid attention to these old nobles when I first came back here. With their economic foundation, we can easily find a breakthrough point."

"The main sources of income for these people are agricultural products, handicraft products, and caravans."

"As for agriculture, the land reform we want to implement must be carried out first." Junko confirmed: "There will always be fools among these nobles. Through this matter, we can attack some of them first."

"After the factory is established, the industrial products produced will have a second impact on their handicraft industry, which they absolutely cannot stop."

"Finally, starting from this year, construction of three routes will begin, with the capital of the Fire Country and Konoha as the core."

"The railway will have a third impact on their traditional caravans."

"After three attacks, these people have nothing to fear."

"What I'm worried about now," Junko said, "is that they incite and coerce the people into confrontation with us and assassinate our political workers. It's not easy to train one of these political workers."

To paraphrase some movie lines, what is the most expensive thing in this era?

Talent!

These political workers are carefully selected by Junko!If one of them dies, Junko will be heartbroken!She fully guarantees these individuals, from food and daily life to travel safety.

Although now Junko is a little worried, afraid that they will become a new privileged class.

"Don't worry!" Danzo said, "As long as I am here, you will have many treasures!"

"Yes." Junko nodded. Since Danzo has agreed, the safety of these people has been guaranteed.No one understands security work better than Danzo, and no one understands the things in the shadows better than Danzo.

"But, Junko." Danzo suddenly said: "In an ideal situation, the plan you just made is indeed feasible. But do you think your ideal will become a reality?"

"What do you mean?" Junko asked.

"You think these big families are so simple." Danzo said: "Junko, do you think they will jump out like Koharu and Mito Kabuto?"

"Why not?" Junko asked, "We touched their cake."

"Yes, but that's not entirely the case." Danzo added: "One very important point is that these people are too simple. They lack some composure, which is also the most serious flaw of Koharu. The same is true of them. human flaws."

"Of course there is another thing that makes them unsettled, that is, they have no capital!"

"If they lose, they will be completely defeated, and they will have to make a comeback, so they have to jump out."

"But they are different." Danzo said slowly: "They have capital, patience, and they are not so stupid."

"What's more important is to have a real-life example in front of them. What will happen to those who don't cooperate and resist?"

"Do you think they will definitely stretch their necks and hit your knife?" Danzo seemed to be a bit cunning and said: "Junko, do you believe that they will personally distribute the land to those farmers, or give themselves The land is ready for you to build a factory."

"Because they have capital and the ability to withstand the pain of transformation, it is difficult to capture the typical example you want."

"If you are caught and overwhelmed so easily, then these nobles will never survive this time!"

"This..." Junko didn't expect this, but after thinking about it carefully, there were actually examples in this past life.In the Rotten Country, District 11, the aristocracy within their country has not died out. They have also embraced capital, transforming from feudal aristocracy to capital aristocracy.

They also control class and state power.

So they are really not so easily defeated as they think.

"If you plan to resort to martial arts," Danzo said, "it takes so long to cut through the mess with a quick sword, and everything will be quiet with one strike."

"If you want to write a novel," Danzo said, "then there is a high probability that you will join them."

"How is that possible?!" Junko said immediately: "State-owned enterprises must not be controlled by these guys! State-owned enterprises are enterprises that serve the country, not these nobles."

Junko seemed to suddenly realize a problem. The person she was most worried about controlling the country's lifeline was not in Konoha Village.

And here it is!

In the capital!

Chapter 20 The first reform

Danzo's words suddenly made Junko understand something.

Unless you raise the butcher's knife yourself, it will not be easy to defeat these people.They may have their ups and downs based on their strategies, but this group of people won't go away.

They will always be there, either this one or that one.Similarly, they can be landowners or the emerging bourgeoisie, so if they want to adopt a gentle strategy, they may not necessarily be Junko's enemies, and may even be the most active group of people who promote policies.

In the same way, the three axes I think cannot defeat this group of people.

When it was not convenient to just lift the butcher knife and chop off the heads of these people, Junko had no choice but to think of other ways.
