Chapter 116 Are Your Needs so Small?
Luo Sha sighed.
It's not that he can't understand Chiyo's choice, this stubborn and conservative elder just doesn't want to take risks.
I crave stability, so I choose to compromise.
But is this compromise really a good thing?
So should he compromise?
Luo Sha stood in front of the window, looking out at Sunagakure Village, and saw that the village was much deserted than before... After all, many ninjas in the village had gone out to do tasks.
Because of the current chaos in the country, the ninjas in the village are really taking on tasks now. Perhaps because of this, they are trying to spread the word that the Kawa Country Food Transport Team is making a lot of money through the smuggled rice, medicine, and weapons business... The ninjas in these villages will be a little interested, but they are not very interested. interest.
After all, how could they know how much the ninjas of the Kawa no Kuni food transport team earned? You said how much you earned, and some thoughtful people simply spread out various values. Some said they earned this, some said they earned that, and some said it was simply too exaggerated, exaggerating to the point of exaggerating these ninjas in Sunagakure Village. I don't want to believe it at all, and I even make it a joke.
But in the final analysis, it is because the current situation in the village can be considered "prosperous". Many Sunagakure ninjas who had difficulty receiving missions in the past are really enjoying themselves taking missions and making money.
This makes them not that concerned about the far-fetched matter of the Kawa Country Grain Transport Team making a lot of money.
If the village didn't have such a 'prosperous' situation, and there wouldn't be such a sufficient share of tasks for them to accept tasks like this... the rumors about the Kawanoguni grain transportation team making a lot of money would probably make them immediately jealous and interested. .
In this way, if you make more noise, you can take advantage of the turbulent popular sentiment in the village and use this general trend to intimidate the grain transport team into submission.
At that time, even if there are various family forces in the village behind the grain transport team, they will not dare to resist easily in the face of this turbulent trend... Even if they resist, Luo Sha can use the momentum to crush it.
However, the human heart cannot be used.
This prosperous situation in the village and the situation of being weak in accepting tasks are indeed a good thing to a certain extent.
But this kind of good thing also brings bad results, the result of weakness and compromise.
If the human heart is available...
Luo Sha sighed again.
That's right, just because he was sure that people's hearts were unusable, he compromised for the time being.
The Country of Sichuan has a different kind of prosperity at this time.
After the compromise in Sand Hidden Village, the smuggling business of Kawakoku became more and more blatant, transporting food and medicine, transporting various commodities from the Land of Fire, and transporting weapons from the Country of Rain... It has to be said that Kawakuni The country is connected to the Rain Country by a river, and this river flows southward to the sea.
Further along the coast to the west is the southeast coast of the Kingdom of Wind.
Therefore, some goods can be transported to the southeastern and southern coastal areas of the Kingdom of Wind with the help of convenient water and sea transportation.
Therefore, the transshipment trade in the Kingdom of Sichuan has become more and more developed.
The transshipment trade also relies on manpower, so Sunagakure did not choose to plunder the country of Kawakawa. Instead, he hired local manpower and let them participate in the trade transshipment.
This also caused the flow of refugees from the Kawa Country to gradually ease and stop.
Even local production has gradually resumed, and the consumption brought about by the large amount of transportation has gradually injected new vitality into this country that should have been withered.
"Look, let me just say this, the purpose of our coming is not to cause a humanitarian disaster."
Kaki Jounin, the commander-in-chief of the Kawa no Kuni grain transportation team, looked very proud. He put one hand on his hips and waved with the other, indicating the scene in front of him of the re-settlement of Kawa no Kuni.
It's almost night, and the lights are on.
The stars are dotted with a sense of tranquility and peace.
Standing next to him was the smiling rice grain smuggler, Mr. Pewter.
"Master Kaji, you are right. You have brought prosperity and stability to the Kingdom of Sichuan. It is really amazing!"
Hearing this, Kaki held his head up proudly.
He is now walking in this city, and the residents of the Sichuan Country in this city will also respectfully call him Master Kaji.
That kind of respect is not fake.
Although it was also the Sunagakure grain transport team led by Kaki, which brought disaster to the country of Kawakawa.
However, the root cause of all this is still because of the Kingdom of Rain!
It was all because of the Kingdom of Rain, in order to transport food to the Kingdom of Rain, that led to the previous famine.
And the residents of Sichuan Country also agree with this. What else can they do if they don't agree with it this way? Can they let go of their now settled lives?
And it is indeed because of the Kingdom of Rain, everything is the fault of the Kingdom of Rain!
The Sunagakure grain transport team was also helpless.
That’s right, it’s all the Rain Country’s fault!
These residents of the Kawa Country seemed to have been treated badly and then suddenly treated well, falling into some kind of abnormal dependence and affection.
It really allowed the Sunagakure grain transport team to firmly dominate here.
"Mr. Stern." Kaji turned his head and looked at this smuggler who could be said to have known each other for a long time. They were now considered good friends.
"If I resume food production in the Kingdom of Sichuan, would you like to continue to provide me with food?" He asked seemingly casually.
But even though the question was asked casually, the boat could smell the seriousness in it.
Have you seen the benefits from production and developed a sense of production?
The hope of not being controlled by others also bursts out the ambition to rule?
The stern thought about this and smiled.
"Master Kaji, are your needs so small?"
Kaji was stunned, and then asked in a low voice: "You mean?"
"I can provide you with mechanized equipment for food production."
"...How do you get it?"
"Smuggling, of course."
"...If I produce grain on a large scale, will it affect the current price of grain?"
"No, it is not easy for our country to fill the gap in the western country's grain market. What's more, now the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth have fallen into a vicious cycle of tightening food supply, which has affected the food production of both countries. The gap is getting bigger. Even if Mr. Kaji grows grain on a large scale here, it will be difficult to make up for the growing food gap. Moreover, some stakeholders, in order to ensure the value of the food in their hands, will continue to advocate the shortage of food. It’s nothing… after all, they have collected too much food, and they can’t just watch the price of the food in their hands collapse.”
Hearing this, Kaji suddenly realized, thinking that he did not want to see the price of food collapse, and quickly understood the mood of those in the country who had a lot of food in their hands.
Then he has no doubts about whether it is profitable to produce food independently.
The attitude shown by the stern also made him make some determination.
