I sell sweets in Konoha

Chapter 366 Visitors from across the sea

The ninja world seemed to have entered a certain kind of calm.

Ever since the moon exploded in the sky, apart from arranging troops on the border between the Earth Kingdom and the Thunder Kingdom, the Fire Nation has occasionally held one or two joint military exercises.

Nothing else is going on.

Almost everyone has always believed that the Fourth Ninja War is about to break out.

It started with the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Earth launching a surprise attack on the Kingdom of Fire, and ended with the Kingdom of Fire starting to counterattack.The real Fourth Ninja War has just begun.

How many countries will be involved next, and how many farmlands, roads and towns will be destroyed?

No one knows.

The entire ninja world seems to have entered a stormy and turbulent level.What can people do in the face of this unprecedented pressure of war and disaster?

Probably to conserve resources.

As a critical need, food is definitely the first resource to be hoarded.

Even if those nobles are a little drunk and don't care about the suffering of the people, they will definitely care about whether their production will be interrupted when the war breaks out in the future and whether they will have a bite to eat when food is in short supply.

Can I still look at a bowl, eat a bowl, and pour a bowl to splurge here like today?

They will also buy and store grain for themselves.

For a time, the price of food on the market rose rapidly. At this time, the price of food in the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Thunder was pushed up.

No one paid much attention to the 20% increase rate initially set by Junko, and even the 20% increase rate turned into a seemingly benevolent move.

This time...

"What? It's going up?" Junko dug her ears and said, "Did you hear that right? Those grain merchants are also planning to start raising prices?"

"Yes." Itachi said: "The news they gave me, I hope they can relax it and increase it by one section."

Itachi is now the mouthpiece and manager of Junko's dealings with those grain merchants.

After all, for Junko, this Itachi was an absolute confidant, and she was young, so no one knew her after using Niodouquan.This matter requires a ruthless person who can execute an order without compromise.

Apart from Itachi, there was no one more suitable than her.

"No!" Junko refused without hesitation and said, "Tell those grain merchants."

"The supply has been relaxed, as long as the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Thunder want it."

"They supply as much as they want."

“Absolutely no price increase!”

"My costs will not change. They are already very profitable now. Don't screw up my plan because of greed!"

Junko said a little cruelly: "You can tell them directly if anyone dares to take the lead and disobey my orders to increase the price of grain privately or with other grain merchants."

"I'll send them to see the Sage of Six Paths!"

"The kind that the whole family goes to see!"

Junko herself knew very well that she was not a businessman and was very different from these businessmen.

Businessmen pursue profit, and as long as the profit is enough, they will do anything!Faced with the skyrocketing food prices in the Kingdom of Earth and Kingdom of Thunder, it is difficult for them to withstand the temptation not to raise prices.

She Junko is not a businessman but a politician.

A good politician needs to have a long-term vision, and long-term vision and the implementation of a long-term strategy are destined to give up many temptations of short-term interests that can be seen now.

So Junko is really not in a hurry to raise prices now. Instead, she is worried that these merchants will not be able to withstand the temptation and follow suit.

Itachi was her intimidation and tentacle, if anyone really dared to do this.

Send them directly to see Liu Dao.

"Anyway, I support a big grain merchant." Junzi snorted and said, "It's not difficult for me at all."

Junko said so.

Itachi didn't quite understand.

"Junko." Itachi said as if he didn't understand: "Aren't you planning to use food price increases to fight back against the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Thunder? Why don't you raise prices now?"

"Because the food of the Country of Fire also needs to be replaced."

Junko rubbed her temples and said, "It's really about the old never leaving and the new never coming."

Now the Fire Nation's own annual food output, plus the annual food output of the surrounding countries controlled by the Fire Nation, is gradually increasing.The major grain depots in the Fire Country are really packed to the brim.

Work on building new grain depots is in full swing everywhere.

But even so, the grain depot is still not enough.

"Now the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Earth don't care about the price of food at all." Junko said: "As long as it is food, they will buy it like crazy. There is such a master."

"I can just complete the replacement between the Fire Nation's own new food and old food."

"It's too late for me to be happy. How can I let those guys increase the price for me at this time?"

"But if you do this." Itachi said still a little confused: "Aren't you planning to make both the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Earth surrender because of food?"

"The Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Thunder now have food, so as long as they have enough food, they won't be afraid, right?"

"This is completely different." Junko said, "This is old food, not new food."

"Anyway, it's very troublesome to explain. Tell those grain merchants..."

"Forget it, I'll find someone else."

Junko thought for a moment and said, "I will buy back all the old grain soon."

"trouble."

"In short." Junko knocked on the table and said, "Two things. Tell warehouses across the country to clear out all the grain that has been stored for many years and prepare for the arrival of new grains. Second, let me continue to build more granaries and wait. A large amount of food will be stored in the warehouse in the future.”

This matter is just the beginning.

The Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Thunder will soon discover that there is no war, nor the legendary food shortage.

On the contrary, the grain they bought in large quantities would become a burden.

As crazy as the rise is now, the fall will be as crazy as it is.

At that time, it would be considered a miracle and perseverance for the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Thunder if not a few grain merchants went to the rooftop to enjoy the breeze.

So where did this happen?

No price increase!

Absolutely no price increase!

Let the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Thunder eat!Eat hard and eat with an open belly!The more she eats, the happier Junko will be.

"So?" Junko asked again, "Is there anything else?"

"There's one thing."

Itachi said: "A piece of news came back from the Kingdom of Thunder, based on unreliable rumors."

"Fishermen from the Land of Thunder encountered a vessel of unknown nationality at sea."

As soon as Itachi's words came out, Junko immediately became excited.

If Itachi hadn't told Junko, he would have almost forgotten this, New World!Civilization beyond the ninja world.At the beginning, she fully supported the people of the Fire Nation to go to sea and open up new shipping routes.

However, from the time when the decree encouraging people to go to sea was issued, there has been almost no news about the new continent and new routes.

This made Junko very puzzled.

It stands to reason that although the Ninja World Continent does not support such operations and does not have a navy, the biggest thing going to the sea is fishing and maritime trade between known countries on the sea.

Basically, the routes wandered through the ninja world, and no one had ever really left the country that was now known.

There has never been an unknown ship appearing around the ninja world.

However...

Now there is!

"The Kingdom of Thunder?" Junko knocked on the table and couldn't help but said, "Why is it the Kingdom of Thunder?"

The Kingdom of Thunder also has a coastline.

Moreover, the coastline of the Kingdom of Thunder is much longer than that of the Kingdom of Fire.What's more important is that the Kingdom of Thunder has two coastlines, facing two different seas.

It's a little bit not so good for the Fire Country.

"Is there any movement in the Kingdom of Thunder?" Junko asked, "For example, sending someone to contact it?"

"No." Itachi said, "This is just a rumor."

"And for now, the Kingdom of Thunder and our country are still in a state of confrontation."

"The Raikage can't find time to pay attention to the ships at sea just yet."

Indeed, Raikage's current attention is basically taken away by the border and food. Even the peace negotiations lack much energy to pay attention to.

Let him pay more attention to this erratic foreign ship on the sea.

It is indeed a bit difficult.

"However." Itachi pointed to the eastern coastline of the Kingdom of Thunder on the map and said, "According to the current locations where unknown ships have been found."

"If they are connected a little bit, they should be coming towards us."

"Perhaps in a while there will be rumors of unidentified ships being discovered in the waters of the Country of Fire."

"Oh?" Junko looked at the map with interest.

How do you describe this feeling?

Always feel weird.

"This is an expedition team from a civilization outside the ninja world?" Junko crossed her arms and said, "But it doesn't feel like it?"

"It's a bit incredible that they didn't land in the Land of Thunder."

According to general practice, these people who come from afar are not necessarily good people, but they are not necessarily robbers.To put it simply, it depends on the strength of the opponent.

If the strength is equal, or the local strength is stronger, it will probably be friendly trade and mutual trade.

If the local strength is slightly weaker but the gap is not too large, it should be commodity dumping.

If the local people are very pushy, they will basically follow the colonial style.

If you are stretching your crotch a little, you can immigrate to another breed.

But they're just running around on the shoreline.

This is not like what a typical expedition would do.

"Did you come with a pure purpose?" Junko thought for a moment and said, "Could it be..."

Junko suddenly remembered something, that is, there is indeed a stage in the Naruto movie that takes place on the coastline.

One of the actors on the stage is from overseas, a civilization different from the ninja world.

But shouldn't that incident happen when Naruto was a child?

But there seems to be no such thing in this world.

Could it be that the person who came this time.

Is it those people?

If it is true, even though they came with ulterior motives, after killing the conspirator leader, there are still people among them who can be used as bridges and seeds for establishing trade and exchanges with overseas civilizations.

"I think." Junko said with great interest, "I think~"

"We can get ready to welcome guests."

Let Naruto get ready!

Chapter 367 Ship! Big ship!

The sea has always been a collection of contradictions for humans.

He is a symbol of human courage and determination as well as a collection of death and despair.
