Chapter 155 Payne’s Pleasure
"It's like this. Originally, our Sunagakure food transport team planned to hire a group of, um, international engineering ninja teams... But this big project in Konoha made our hiring plan ruined. We really don't have that many manpower. Provide more new and flat land for new agricultural machinery. And the Fire Nation agricultural machinery we smuggled over through Fire Nation channels is still coming in a steady stream."
"Did the construction of the Huocha Isthmus Canal recruit the manpower of engineering ninjas?"
Payne hesitated for a moment, hesitated twice, hesitated three times...
"We Yugakure may be able to provide some of the engineering ninja manpower."
With some inexplicable pressure in his heart, Payne finally said this. After saying it, he was completely relieved.
"Really?"
Sunagakure's eyes lit up.
But then.
"Wait a moment, I may want to send the news back to see the opinions of the headquarters."
"Um."
Payne nodded.
After the Sunagakure messenger left, he couldn't help clenching his fists.
Then, as expected, Iwagakure's envoy also ran over... The envoys from both sides of Iwagakure were watching each other. As soon as Sunagakure moved and came to find Pain, Iwagakure knew that there must be something wrong with Sunagakure. .
Just like last time, Sunagakure approached Payne to order agricultural machinery produced by Amegakure. After Iwagakure found out, he immediately approached Payne to discuss the matter.
Now that Sunagakure was taking action again, Iwagakure immediately activated the internal spies of Sunagakure's envoy team and quickly learned what was going on.
So immediately, the Iwagakure envoy hurried over.
When he saw the Iwagakure envoy coming over, Payne frowned and asked, "Are you also canceling the order for agricultural machinery?"
The Iwagakure messenger shook his head.
"We already have a lot of flat land there. The terrain is not as complicated as in Kawakuni, and the agricultural machinery is not yet saturated."
Payne's heart moved.
"Sunagakure canceled the order for agricultural machinery, and this part is stranded..."
"Our Iwagakure grain transport team can take it over. Lord Payne, please rest assured that we can still follow the agreed price."
Payne suddenly felt that the envoy of the Iwagakure grain transport team in front of him looked much more pleasing to the eye, and his rough appearance became somewhat more delicate.
"Then you come over?"
"Lord Pain, do you have a group of people who can be used as engineering ninjas?"
"That's right."
Payne nodded.
Then he asked: "You also need manpower to level it... No, you are in the country of grass and there is not so much land that needs to be leveled. What do you think?"
"Lord Payne, are you aware of the Huocha Isthmus Canal Development Project, right?"
"Know."
Payne nodded.
It was because of this incident that all his orders were cancelled, although now the orders have been taken over by Iwagakure.
"It's good that you know. It's like this. There is an urgent need for manpower over there. We can introduce you to work on the project there. The price is negotiable." The Iwagakure envoy rubbed his hands and said.
"..."
Payne was silent for a while.
Then he lowered his voice slightly and said, "We are Yugakure."
"So, we need to package it as an international engineering ninja team."
Why are these words so familiar?
"Is it possible that Konoha can't investigate it?"
"Lord Pain, let me tell you some inside information..." Iwagakure then said softly.
Payne's eyes widened.
"Is this still possible?"
"So, Master Pain, you understand, there is no blood feud among the five major countries, and you, the Country of Rain, are just one of them. For the sake of engineering manpower, Konoha doesn't care so much."
"...Please allow me to think about it." Pain subconsciously looked out the window, where the Sunagakure Ninja Envoy Corps was stationed.
When the Iwagakure messenger saw the direction he was looking in, he immediately became anxious.
He immediately said: "Lord Payne! Apart from some rice, what else can Sunagakure's food transport team give you?!"
"But we only need rice." Payne said confidently.
"Then we can give you more rice! Of course, there are also security rolls from the Land of Fire."
Security roll.
Payne's heart moved. It was a voucher for goods and services issued by the United Security Company. It can be used to purchase the products of the United Security Company, or it can be used to purchase security services from the United Security Company. It can be used to pay security fees... and it can also be used to use fire. The currency of the country can be exchanged for this kind of preservation roll, but it must be the currency of the country of fire issued before the first year of preservation.
As a result, the preservation scrolls and the currency issued before the first year of the Fire Nation's preservation have become the premier hard currency in the ninja world.
More importantly, Payne knew that using the preservation roll, he could buy rice from the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth...even if the food markets in these two countries were short of food, to the point of causing disaster.
However, a large amount of food is actually hoarded in the hands of a small number of people, and the food cannot be stored forever. However, these people who have stored food are not willing to sell the stored food easily, thus causing the domestic high food prices to collapse.
But they are very willing to use these grains in exchange for hard currency such as security rolls!
Even the exchange price is incredibly cost-effective!
So at this moment.
bump! bump! bump!
Payne was really moved.
In addition to making it easier to exchange rice from more channels, security rolls can also be exchanged for many other things.
To a certain extent, it is much more cost-effective than simply replacing rice grains.
"Let me think about it."
Payne said.
"Lord Payne! The Sunagakure grain transport team will never give us the price we want, otherwise, this amount!"
Seeing the Iwagakure envoy, he became anxious.
Payne looked calm on the outside.
But in my heart... there was an indescribable joy.
You have today too!
"This is a very important matter for us Yugakure. We need to consider it carefully. After all, I feel a little uneasy about letting our precious ninja go abroad." Payne said solemnly.
at this time.
Boom, boom, boom!
There was a knock on the door.
Then without waiting for a reply, the door clicked open, and it was the Messenger of Sunagakure who came back. He gasped and looked at the Messenger of Iwagakure fiercely. He knew it!
Quickly, he came to Payne and said, "Sir Payne! We have agreed before, and the price is easy to negotiate!"
"Have the talks really been concluded?" Payne asked in surprise: "Didn't you say that we want to see the opinions of your headquarters?"
"Our opinion is that it's completely OK! Lord Payne, things come first, first served!"
"Since you have not reached an agreement with Lord Payne, then of course we have room to intervene and discuss business." Iwagakure expressed his disagreement.
"Who is doing business with you?" Sunagakure said angrily.
At this moment, Payne looked at this scene quietly as if he was a bystander who had nothing to do with me.
The corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously, and then quickly calmed down.
