Chapter 185
"Sir Shingen, after Iwagakure formed an alliance with us, the trade between the Fire Country and the Earth Country is now very prosperous." The Minister of Administration pushed up his glasses, "The Country of Thunder is also a rich country. We and Kumogakure Village If we form an alliance, we will surely have more funds in the coming year.”
"No." Uchiha Shingen shook his head, "Once the war subsides, all countries will enter a state of armament retrenchment, except for the Kingdom of Thunder! We need to rely more on the profitability of the association. If Kumogakure is allowed to join our interest alliance, It will only weaken our financial strength. Arms retrenchment is a general trend, and Daming Mansion’s investment will inevitably be reduced. In this way, the village’s self-operation ability will face a greater test, and it is impossible to distribute profits to Yunyin. Besides..."
He paused, his eyes unfriendly.
"Kumogakure is only obligated to pay compensation. If you take money from Konoha, don't even think about it."
In Uchiha Shingen's opinion, there is something wrong with this minister of the administrative department.
It would be best if he confiscated the lobbyist's money, otherwise Uchiha Shingen would make him look good.
Uchiha Shingen decided to have someone check it out when he got back.
Regarding the ninjas in the administrative department, Uchiha Shingen would never overestimate their integrity.
It would not be a problem to betray the village or deliberately harm the interests of the village, but in areas they don't understand, it is inevitable to do things for personal gain.
Chapter 14 Uchiha Shingen takes the initiative to take the job
Of all the banks under the association system, as long as Uchiha Shingen wants, he can check the accounts at any bank, and no one will deny him this face.
Seeing the somewhat frightening look Uchiha Shingen cast, the head of the administrative department laughed dryly, lowered his head, and pretended to write something in a notebook.
Fortunately, he hasn't confiscated the money yet. He always does things first and collects the money later.
It's just that he complained in his heart, thinking that Konoha is so powerful now, why is it necessary for Uchiha Shingen to target Kumogakure like this? The market in the Kingdom of Thunder is so big that the village can make more money. It's not too much for people like them to accept some gifts.
"I'm here to remind everyone." Uchiha Shingen withdrew his gaze and looked at the heads of other departments, "Don't think that the association's money is so easy to make! In the final analysis, if someone makes money, someone has to accompany them. Everyone comes in to make money. Well, who will pay for it? Konoha? We can’t all pay for it ourselves, right?”
The heads of various military departments nodded.
They always supported Uchiha Shingen, the god of wealth, during meetings.
If a decision related to money does not include something like "Uchiha Shingen said it", then they will even feel that the plan is not solid.
The Ministry of Administration and the Ministry of Education, as non-military departments, also have somewhat different views on this sentence.
The Ministry of Education has always been a restricted area for Uchiha. They are staunch Hokage faction, because most of the people in this system come from the Senju of Mori, whose family has been dissolved in the past.
But this group of people really don’t have any big dislike for Uchiha, because they are only responsible for the training of ninjas and the personnel arrangement of graduates. To put it bluntly, they are relatively closed. People in other departments are the same in their eyes, and there is no difference. .
This department is truly the first of Konoha. It would be great if they don't quarrel with others. No department dares to show off to him.
They really had no objection to Uchiha Shingen's opinion - there were specialties in the art industry, so don't ask them about making money, just don't cut their funding.
Only the people in the administrative department felt that Uchiha Shingen's words were very relevant, but it was hard to say anything, otherwise it would feel like the shit was being slapped on his head.
Except for the Ministry of Education, the relationship between the Administration Department and other departments is average. They are the kind of characters that no one likes. Once given the opportunity, everyone will attack them.
After finishing his words, Uchiha Shingen's tone slowed down.
"Kumogakure and Sunagakure are both villages with strong combat capabilities, but their style is very rough and their external strategy lacks stability. Using interests to win over has no effect. They can only suppress it through military means. If we talk about peace, we can talk about peace. There is no need to fight with them. Apart from anything else, for their phalanx, my suggestion is to plunder their resources through commercial means, and kill their masters if there is an opportunity, so that they cannot launch military operations at will."
"I'm afraid this is not conducive to long-term peace." Someone said.
"With long-term peace, there is no need for the ninja village to exist. Konoha needs opponents." Uchiha Shingen said, "Moderate war will make us stronger, and we can plunder during war, which will help maintain our capital chain." It helps a lot.”
Probably because he didn't expect Uchiha Shingen to say that, the man got stuck.
The doves also came to know Uchiha Shingen again.
This kind of Uchiha Shingen is completely different from his original style in Iwagakure Village.
"Okay, that's it for today's meeting." Namikaze Minato clapped his hands, "I generally understand everyone's opinions. Thank you for your suggestions."
Everyone stood up one after another, as if they had a clear mind.
This was based on Uchiha Shingen's suggestion.
The rumors were true, Uchiha Shingen disliked Kumogakure very much.
The head of the Administration Department has already thought about how to righteously scold the lobbyist when he returns.
Do you want to shake his loyalty to the village with this small amount of money? How ridiculous!
The conference room was opened, and the heads of various departments and representatives of related forces filed out, leaving only a few people.
The five people in Konoha plus one Uchiha Shingen.
Minato Namikaze leaned back in his chair and stretched.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't smoke during the meeting, but now he took out his pipe and held it in his mouth happily.
In the past, the Uchiha clan always opposed the Hokage Building, which bothered him.
Now that Uchiha Shingen wants to antagonize Kumogakure, he feels very comfortable.
He deeply agreed with the setting that Kumogakure was a barbarian.
As long as his fucking mind is enlightened, he can do that kind of thing! ?
In today's Konoha Hidden Village, friends are all over the world. They want money and people. Even if they have to fight Kumogakure again, he is not worried.
"Okay, Shingen, is this what you wanted?" Namikaze Minato sat up straight again and asked with a smile, "But Kumogakure's delegation is already on the way, why don't you also participate in the negotiations by then?"
"Okay." Uchiha Shingen nodded.
Without even thinking about it, Kumogakure would definitely open his mouth.
If you put aside your personal likes and dislikes, Uchiha Shingen has always felt that the top management of Kumogakure Village is the best among the five villages in the original time and space.
The internal cohesion has always been maintained very well. Unlike Konoha, Sunagakure and Kirigakure, which are in a mess, Konoha is at odds with their hearts, and Sunagakure's third generation Kazekage disappeared and started fighting directly. Fighting, let alone Kirigakure's Blood Mist.
Externally, all actions taken by Yunyin Village are based on planning and are never carried out in a flash or in a hurry.
Those who are responsible for acting perform well, and those who do things are also solid.
Otherwise, he would not have surpassed Konoha and become the leader of the five villages with the help of the Byakugan incident after the Third Ninja War.
Konoha, who was unprepared for this in the original time and space, was completely led by the nose, and all the attention was attracted by the Byakugan. When he reacted, he had no choice.
Uchiha Shingen would not give Kumogakure such a chance.
If you don't peel off a layer of its skin, it won't have a good life.
"By the way, who are the members of Kumogakure's mission?" Uchiha Shingen asked, "Since the mission has set off, the documents must have been sent here first, right?"
"Sent here, but the level is not high." Namikaze Minato said, "Masashi is a ninja."
"Hokage-sama, you wouldn't agree to them using a ninja to talk to you, would you?"
"Of course I raised this point." Namikaze Minato spread his hands, "Although I personally don't care, Ninja cannot represent Kumogakure, and I also want to know who will receive him."
"What about their documents?" Uchiha Shingen asked.
"Huh? Shingen, are you interested?"
"Shingen, I know you hate Kumogakure, but don't mess around."
Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Fugaku said different things.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and the two advisors both looked over.
"I'm interested, I won't mess around." Uchiha Shingen smiled, "Hokage-sama, I will negotiate with Kumogakure, but I need their documents."
"I see." Namikaze Minato nodded, "I'll ask Kakashi to send you the paperwork, but don't cause any harm to anyone."
"Don't worry, Hokage-sama." Uchiha Shingen smiled, "I just plan to tell them that the levels of the interlocutors must be equal. The level of Ninja is too low, and we cannot accept this document."
"As long as you know it." Namikaze Minato was relieved.
Chapter 15 Yu Muren’s rent
When Kakashi Hatake sent documents to Uchiha Shingen, he had just finished his afternoon practice time.
Compared with before, Hatake Kakashi's eyes were much more angry.
The villagers' apology was useless to people like Uchiha Shingen, but it was very useful to Hatake Kakashi.
Kakashi Hatake now goes out to buy a meatball, and everyone gives him a discount.
It was even worse when he went to the bookstore. The store owner assured him that the new issue of Intimate Paradise would be delivered to his door as soon as it arrived.
Kakashi Hatake was happy, it would have been better if the shop owner wasn't so loud.
Why are you making such a loud noise about the Emperor's uncle's private visit incognito?
"How are you doing, Kakashi." Taking the document from Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Shingen casually put it into his pocket, and Kakashi's eyelids rolled at the rude approach.
"That...Sir Shingen, after all, it is something that you want to return to someone else..."
"It doesn't matter. The people in Yunyin Village are all gentlemen and don't stick to trivial matters."
If he dares to stick to trivial matters, he will educate Silly Lao Hei.
What Uchiha Madara did to Wu and Onoki, actually many people wanted to do.
That's not Uchiha Madara's black spot. On the contrary, Uchiha Madara's original behavior was in line with the expectations of many people in Konoha Hidden Village.
Ally with Konoha? Are you worthy?
That's what a lot of people think.
Senju Hashirama is so easy-going that some people regard him as a fool.
After Uchiha Madara clearly "died" at the hands of Senju Hashirama, many people simply didn't cover it up.
Without Uchiha Madara, Konoha's external deterrence immediately dropped by a step.
So the first Kazekage dared to open his mouth at the first Five Kage Conference.
However, he was too greedy and overturned, and was almost beaten up by several other actors.
Conceptually, Uchiha Shingen completely disagrees with many of Senju Hashirama's practices, and assigning tailed beasts is one of them. In other words, Senju Tobirama stepped on him, and Senju Hashirama originally planned to give them away for free.
These tailed beasts were supposed to be weapons of Konoha.
After putting away the paperwork, Uchiha Shingen and Hatake Kakashi chatted for a while before heading to the prison.
Going south from the Uchiha clan, in addition to the boundary wall, and then heading southeast along the mountains, you will enter the prison territory.
In the opposite direction, heading southwest, you will first encounter a circular layout of the training ground, with a river passing through it.
That is the 44th training ground of Konoha Hidden Village. It is surrounded by more than forty-four locked entrances. The site is composed of rivers and forests. In the center is a tall tower, which is exactly 20 meters away from the outer entrances. ten kilometers.
That is, the Death Forest where the Chunin Examination was held in the original time and space.
Further west, you can see the boundless forest at a glance.
In the Country of Fire, this entire forest is called the Konoha Forest because it all belongs to the territory of Konoha Hidden Village.
In terms of territorial area, Konoha ranks second in the Land of Fire, second only to the daimyo. The Hokage is essentially a war lord.
Such a large area, from the founding of the village until today, has been planned as a military zone, and no people have ever entered it.
After Uchiha Shingen came out of the clan, he first met a group of ninjas from the police force. After saying hello, he moved on.
As he approached the prison, he encountered the patrolling security forces no less than ten times along the way, so that the prison authorities already knew that he was coming.
When he walked to the door, there were already ninjas waiting there.
The seemingly independent prison is also directly managed by the Police Department. After the Police Department no longer only has Uchiha ninjas, the manpower here will be abundant.
For example, the person who greeted him right now was a ninja from the Aburame clan.
After the Aburame clan joined the police department, their main responsibility was to take care of the prison.
The prison environment is too friendly for Aburame.
Go to work and play with bugs at the same time.
For the prisoners here, they can't tell whether the bugs that occasionally crawl on the walls or even the bedding are ordinary bugs or friends of the Aburame clan.
"Lord Shingen."
"Take me to see the two Yuki people." Uchiha Shingen said.
The ninja of the Aburame clan maintained the taciturn family style, no nonsense, turned around and began to lead the way.
As important objects of custody, the two Yumu people were imprisoned on the bottom floor of the prison.
There is no way to jailbreak.
After she was captured, Konoha's sealing team came over to give her a set meal and take care of her once a month.
