Chapter 43 The People Weak and the Country Strong

In the room, there is a table with delicious food and wine. It seems that the specifications are even higher than the banquet just now.

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his mouth, Prince Huang Ren took the initiative to say, "This is a good thing I specially left for you, because there are not many things, I'm afraid they will be eaten by outsiders."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi showed a weird face, unable to understand the opponent's operation.

Prince Huang Ren sat cross-legged on the ground and warmly embraced his hands: "Don't just stand there, let's have a few drinks. You are Hokage, and I am Daimyo's older brother. In terms of status, we are almost the same."

If you don't have anything to show your courtesy, you can either rape or steal.

Prince Huang Ren deliberately emphasized the relationship between the two to pave the way for the next dialogue. More importantly, Prince Huang Ren is so polite, just reminding Sarutobi Hiruzani, the third Hokage, that I have something to ask for next. For you, I hope you have a B number, don't be ignorant of flattery.

A normal ninja might not be able to turn his head around, but Hiruza Sarutobi, who lived in Yuan Fei's clan since he was a child, couldn't understand it, otherwise the adults in those clans would have too much to eat.

Sarutobi Hirizhan understood what he heard, and sat down on the ground by taking advantage of the donkey's slope: Well, then I really want to drink a glass of wine, otherwise I will be sorry for the kindness of Prince Huang Ren. "

After that, he picked up a delicate wine glass, poured it into his mouthpiece, and couldn't help praising: "It's really good wine."

Prince Huang Ren smiled and said, "As long as you like it, then drink more."

Pushing the cup and changing the cup, after drinking the wine, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's face gradually turned red, as if he was drunk, but he was not really drunk, but paved the way for the next conversation, because even if he said the wrong thing, he could use it afterwards Drinking gaffes to cover up the past.

At the same time, His Royal Highness Huang Ren also performed the same operation. He intentionally pretended to be drunk and shook his head: "Yes, yes, Your Excellency Hokage, I have something to say."

"Well, you~ said it."

"I heard that Yuan Fei's family used to be a famous name in a certain country, right?"

Being thrown away, Hiruzaru Sarutobi shrank his pupils, calmly, laughed and said: "That was all a long time ago."

The Yuan Fei family is different from ordinary ninjas. They used to be the daimyo of a small country. Later, due to some reasons, the country was destroyed, leaving only one person and three courtiers.

These three courtiers are the ancestors of Zhuludie, and later these four people gradually gained their own family power. Although Zhuludie and Yuan Fei's family have lost the relationship between the retainers, but because of the special relationship of the ancestors, Yuan Fei's family will wear earrings as witnesses to promote the bond between the three.

(ps: The above is purely personal YY, after all Kishimoto did not explain why these families are so close.)

Prince Huang Ren continued to drink a glass of wine: "I didn't expect it to be true. His Excellency Ri Zhan is now on the throne of Hokage, and he can restore the feat of his ancestors. It's just around the corner."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head: "That's all in the past, now I just want to be Konoha's Hokage..."

Huang Ren nodded in satisfaction. Through this conversation, he understood Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude, and continued: "Then the future defense of the Fire Kingdom will depend on Konoha a lot."

"This is naturally no problem. I dare to ask, how much will be given to Konoha this time."

Although the current world situation is a one-country-one-village system, orders for ninjas are not absolutely distributed according to one country, one village. For example, the mission orders of the daimyo of the Fire Country can actually be handed over to the ninjas of Wuyin Village, and they will accept it with pleasure. , The more orders, the better.

It's just that in most cases, because of the relatively close proximity, the task orders are handed over to the ninjas in their own countries.

In addition to being the highest leader of the village, "Kage" is often a symbol of the highest combat power. Konoha has just lost such a huge combat power as Shadow, which is bound to be affected internationally, and orders will inevitably be reduced.

Ninja does not engage in production, and all income depends on task assignments and funding from daimyo.

One of the most important things to become Sarutobi Hiruzen of Naruto is to solicit sponsorship to solve the problem of eating and drinking for the ninjas in the village.

The daimyo looked distressed, stretched out one finger, and then said a very tight number.

After hearing this, Sarutobi Hiraku pleaded: "This is too little, can you have more?"

Prince Huang Ren sighed: "The farmers' harvests are not good recently, and the Daming Mansion has no surplus food..."

"But……"

"Ouch……"

"Your Highness Huang Ren, what's the matter with you?"

"It seems that I have eaten a bad stomach, just wait for me, and I will go to relieve my hand."

Prince Huang Ren stood up and left, leaving only Hiruzaru Sarutobi with a confused expression on his face. He was thinking about what medicine to buy from the other party's gourd, when suddenly two women in hot clothes entered the room. If you look carefully, these two women are exactly He dreamed of the dancing girl at the banquet just now.

When Sarutobi Hitomi was stunned, two dancers had already come to his side and toasted him: "His Royal Highness Huang Ren is temporarily busy, and we will serve you next..."

Warm and soft in his arms, with a fragrant fragrance, being next to two coquettish sluts, Hiruzaru Sarutobi couldn't hold it in a little bit, and then couldn't hold it anymore.

"Hey, why are you undressing?"

...

...

Prince Huang Ren who left the room did not go to the bathroom, but went straight to another room.

In the room, a twelve-year-old boy saw Huang Ren and asked, "Father, is the matter settled?"

Huang Ren smiled slightly: "Nine times out of ten."

Sarutobi Hiruzen is a smart person, he has the political wisdom to understand what is called:

If he doesn't accept it, how dare I give him money.

Huang Ren's son was puzzled and said, "Is it really necessary for father to do this? Isn't it enough to just allocate funds?"

Huang Ren sighed: "Lan Ren, you don't understand. Ninjas are different from the warrior class in the past. This group is too powerful. Some powerful ninjas can even conquer a country by themselves. What we can control them is money. If there is no Without financial constraints, the ninja will become an uncontrollable force, even endangering the dominance of our daimyo."

He is not alarmist.

He had been lucky, or rather unlucky, to have met such a ninja.

Just a single knife leveled several mountains. In the face of such a mighty force, any money, status, wealth, etc. are useless and useless.

Whenever he thought of those blood-colored eyes, Huang Ren's body would tremble uncontrollably, as if he was an ant whose life and death depended on the other's thought.

However, what made him even more desperate was that there was not only one such person, there was another person who was stronger than him, and all of them had lived in Konoha in the past.

How could Huang Ren be unprepared for such an existence that could crush himself to death with just a single finger.

Fortunately, these two people are dead now, but the village they left behind is also extremely fighting. If these ninjas really want to overthrow the daimyo, it will not be too easy.

Therefore, the ninjas in these villages must be controlled, no matter what method is used.

He is certainly not the only one who has this kind of thinking. People in other countries who secretly control the country like themselves must also be wary of their own ninjas, and are actively thinking of ways to weaken these ninjas and find ways to absorb them into their ranks.

The one country, one village system, the daimyo didn't want to admit it at all, it was a forced compromise due to formalities.

The strength of the ninja they really want is completely under their own hands, instead of allocating budgets every year like this.

A group of mud-legged people actually want to be equal to the nobles, what a joke, now admitting that it was just a plan to slow down the army.

In order for his son to better understand this truth, Huang Ren had to start continuing education like mushrooms after a spring rain: "Lan Wan, let me ask you, how can a country be considered strong."

Ranmaru said without hesitation: "The people are strong, the country is strong, and the people are weak, the country is weak."

He thought that this sentence must be right, but his father strongly denied it.

"wrong."

"wrong?"

Huang Ren said decisively: "That's right, and it's a big mistake."

"???"

Ranmaru remembered that this sentence was told by his father when he was a child, why is it completely opposite to what he said then.

"Lan Wan, you are getting older now, and it's time to tell you some things. I didn't tell you when I was a child, because I was afraid that you would speak carelessly and go around, causing bad influence. Now that you have grown up, you know What does it mean that things can be eaten indiscriminately and words can’t be talked about, so let’s explain it to you now, let’s explain it thoroughly.

The so-called: if the people are strong, the country is strong, and if the people are weak, the country is weak, which is to deceive those inferior people. If the country wants to be strong, it must let the people contribute. If the corresponding contribution is too much, the people will be weak. From this, it can be concluded that the people are strong and the country is weak, and the people are weak and the country is strong. The way to govern the country lies in the weak people first. "

When Lanwan heard this, he couldn't understand it.

Huang Ren continued to educate: "Secondly, it lies in the poor, exhausted, foolish, humiliated, and abused people."

These words are not good at first glance, even he, who was born in an aristocratic family, trembled.

When Hiruzaru Sarutobi was messing around with the two dancers, Huang Ren had plenty of time to educate his son, because he still had a very important thing to do next, and he had to explain some relationship logic to his son to do it. Just make it clear, this is related to all future interests of the Nation of Fire aristocratic group.

ps: In the original book, the daimyo acted as stupid as a pig, and that was Kishimoto's fault, but in reality, some of the people in power are stupid, so I will strengthen it appropriately.
