Chapter 232 I Can Tell at a Glance that You Are Not (Subscribe)

"This is the population summary of Kusano Town compiled by Sasuke and his team."

"This is the income and expenditure report of Juxiang Village."

"And there is not much grain left in the treasury."

"The remaining iron ore and ninja tools? All that can be robbed have been robbed."

In the familiar meeting hall, the Hyuga senior officials sat down at a large long table in order of their positions.

Although the air was filled with the unpleasant smell left after the decoration, the environment made everyone present feel satisfied.

He did not spend lavishly and build civil engineering just because he became the leader of a country.

The architectural structure of the inner city was completely arranged according to the original Hyuga clan land. Whether it was the place where Ryosuke and his family lived, the meeting hall, or even the temple during the festival, they were all exactly the same as the original Hyuga place.

The only difference might be the rain that never stopped.

At the end of the seat, Ryosuke quietly watched the tribe members speaking one by one without interrupting.

Although he had a high status in the tribe, he did not have any position, and did not want to compete with others for anything, nor did he want to take care of too many things, so he voluntarily sat at the end.

As Hyuga Souji said, the situation in the entire Rain Country was much worse than Ryosuke and his friends had imagined.

As a traveler for the first time, I did not feel it when I stayed here for a while,

But when I thought about living in a country where it rained all day for a long time, I couldn't help but feel a little bad.

In addition to environmental factors, people's hearts were also extremely scattered.

A sudden defeat and a sweep without any resistance made many people in this country lose the idea of ​​working hard.

Shops closed one after another, families moved to other countries,

Most of the country was immersed in the mood of giving up, the land was not planted, the mines were stopped,

Hospitals, academies, and most of these public facilities were forced to close due to insufficient resource supply. It can be said that this country is now just an empty shell, an empty shell full of treasures, but almost no one is willing to spend time to collect them.

"According to the original idea, the economy and politics will be managed by the Saki family and Kusanagi."

"We, Hyuga, are only responsible for military and culture, and we conduct regular inspections and receive their tributes."

"The current domestic chaos is also waiting for them to clean up, and we are waiting for the end."

Sitting in the main seat, Hyuga Hiashi, as the head of the family, explained the current situation.

At the end, Ryosuke was petting the cat while listening to their conversation.

The Hyuga clan intends to manage only the military aspects, just like the relationship between the Fire Country and Konoha.

But they have also learned from the problems left over from the relationship between Konoha and the Fire Country. They decided to control the culture as well, that is, to guide and constrain the ideas and concepts of the people of the Rain Country, and no longer let people develop on their own.

It is a bit like the relationship between the immortal sect and the secular dynasty in some fairy tales.

The sect is in a transcendent position in the country, has absolute military power, does not care about things, and only accepts tribute.

The royal family of the dynasty is just a manager, a manager who can be replaced by the sect at any time if the management is not appropriate.

While protecting the dynasty, the sect controls the world through the royal family, and is admired and respected by people all over the world. However, if the world is in chaos, the sect will not bear the sin, but the royal family of the manager will bear it.

Strictly speaking, this is a sure-win business.

The only question is whether the manager of the Saki family is capable of governing the country well...

"Master Hyuga, I wonder when we can start..."

Less than a week,

Hyuga hasn't put all the transported things in place yet, and Saki Yu comes to visit again.

In a house that is exactly the same as the Hyuga ancestral house in Konoha,

Saki Yu looks at Hyuga Hiashi sitting opposite him expectantly, "I have confirmed the detailed investigation of various villages and towns, and have sent the situation to Hyuga for confirmation. I wonder... should I quickly arrange some people so that I can start to handle the affairs of the country."

It's not that he can't calm down, but that his calmness has been scattered after visiting him once, twice, and three times.

Hyuga keeps dragging it out, not giving him any people, and not giving him a definite answer. He can only stare blankly, watching the situation in the country deteriorate little by little, watching the treasures on the ground without the energy to dig, which is really a bit of a whet.

Opposite him, Hyuga Hiashi seemed very calm, "Mr. Sasaki, don't worry, we still need to understand the situation."

Being fully prepared before taking action has always been the principle of the Hyuga clan.

Although he wanted to throw all the small things like making money to the Sasaki family, as the head of the family, he had to test them first.

"Mr. Sasaki, drink some tea first to moisten your throat."

Ryosuke sat next to him, and his mood also seemed very calm.

They just watched a deal go to waste, but their attitude seemed like they didn’t care.

"No...you two, even if you Hyuga have money, you can't spend it like this."

Seeing that the two were so casual, Sasaki Yu smiled bitterly and said, "After you came here, you didn't ask for anything, but just circled around the capital city, and used all the manpower and financial resources to build the inner city."

"You don't give me anything, and you don't give me a title or a position."

"I paid for hundreds of surveys and statistics on villages and towns myself."

He paused, his face full of heartache, "The mines, pastures, and fields in this country...how long have these resources been shelved? People's hearts are scattered every day, and people drive carriages to other countries across the border every day."

"And I can only watch these priceless treasures slowly disappear, and I'm worried about you Hyuga in my heart!"

"I know that everyone in Hyuga is definitely not short-sighted, but you are really consuming the original foundation of this country by dragging it on! If this goes on, it won't even be considered a country!"

Sasaki Yu was really anxious without even drinking a sip of tea.

Although it was the Saki family who took the initiative to surrender, the attitude and behavior of Hinata now were completely different from those in the Land of Fire. For a moment, he could not see clearly how they were going to attack.

"Don't worry, wait a little longer."

Hinata Hiashi casually helped him pour out the cold tea and brewed hot tea again, "Some things are not yet understood clearly."

"What else do you want to know? This has been investigated clearly, the situation of each village and town."

Saki Yu was very confused, "Give me some manpower and some names."

"I will deliver these letters one by one, and when the mines are reopened, the pastures and fields are replanted, and the food, clothing, and daily necessities are gradually sufficient, people's hearts will be stabilized."

"Then, we can arrange imperial examinations, set up schools, and elect talents like the Fire Country to help govern the country, towns, and villages."

"Based on one year, stabilize this turbulent country first, and then set a goal of three to five years to establish major offices and institutions to cultivate talents needed in the country. In the next ten years, strengthen the country's armaments and build it into a superpower like the Fire Country!"

With just a few simple words from him, a beautiful dream came true.

Hinata Hiashi was stunned for a moment, "...You think well."

As for how to manage the country, they, the Hinata, have never thought about it,

But after listening to Saki Yu's boast, it seems...quite simple.

"Of course it can't be that simple."

Hearing Hinata Hiashi's tone, Saki Yu also knew that he had exaggerated, "There must be many small details to be added, such as the questions in the imperial examination, the class system of officials, taxation..."

In order to prevent Hinata from really thinking about this matter simply and then kicking his family out, he quickly added some more difficult-sounding questions.

And this time, Hinata Hiashi was not stunned,

These difficulties are well-known and taken for granted in the eyes of the upper class.

They, the Hinata, want to solve it, and it is not impossible to do it, but it is too troublesome.

A person's life is extremely limited. If they spend their time doing these troublesome things, the Hinata will be swallowed up by other ninja families sooner or later.

So they never thought about solving these problems by themselves, but...

"Wait a little longer, some things still need to be confirmed."

Ryosuke spoke up and repeated his father's words.

"What are you waiting for? One day later, this deal will lose one day!"

Saki Yu really didn't understand. After saying this, why is he still so stubborn?

What is he waiting for? What big move is he brewing?

"There are some things about ninjas that we need to sort out first."

Hinata Hiashi pondered for a moment, and then revealed a little information to him, "In order to avoid problems in the future, we have to get rid of them while they are still vulnerable."

"... Are they the rain ninjas?"

Saki Xiong understood immediately after hearing this, "In fact, I think it's better to keep some people who can be used."

With a calm look, Hinata Hiashi said coldly, "We will deal with this matter as soon as possible, but it will take time."

"Mr. Saki, you just need to wait quietly and help us manage this country. What should be given to your Saki family will definitely not be less, but you can't take it yourself, let alone reach your hands to places that cannot be touched."

The tone suddenly became a little harsh. After all... military and cultural matters cannot allow Saki Xiong and others to interfere.

Some things must be separated from the beginning, and they cannot be contaminated at all.

Saki Xiong's expression and movements froze at this harsh tone.

Before the awkward atmosphere subsided, Ryosuke spoke up to ease the situation and changed the topic.

Although he did not participate in the clan's arrangement for this country, he still knew what he should know.

The trouble they were talking about was indeed left by the country's former ruling power, the Hidden Rain Village, but it was not just as simple as the ninjas who survived the Hidden Rain Village incident.

The destruction of a country cannot be achieved by simply taking it by force.

Even if the current situation is that the top leaders of the Rain Country unconditionally recruited Hyuga, the people below may not necessarily recognize this king.

In the previous life,

If the mighty empire wanted to be destroyed, it would have to wait until the top leaders were corrupt and the people's hearts were scattered before it would be possible.

The original ruler of the Rain Country, the Hidden Rain Village, actually treated this country well, and the people did not abandon this king in their hearts. It was just because of some inevitable factors that led to the sudden collapse of the Hidden Rain Village that they had to welcome other kings to protect the country.

Therefore, among the current population of the Rain Country, there are more or less ordinary people, officials, and even Rain Ninjas. They still have the Hidden Rain Village in their hearts and are not happy about the protection of Hyuga.

This is like a divorced family.

The life of an orphan and a widow is difficult to support the family, and the parents have to remarry and reorganize the family to find support.

And for this situation that is obviously a good thing from the perspective of the parents, the children do not agree with this behavior at all, and even dislike their stepfather or stepmother.

From the perspective of Hyuga and some people in the Rain Country, this matter is a good thing.

They enjoy the benefits and resources at the same time. This is a win-win attitude.

But in the eyes of some people, this is not a good thing, but arouses disgust.

Just like there is no absolute black and white in the world, the causes and continuations of all conflicts and developments are just different perspectives and positions.

But the solution to the problem is certainly not to get rid of all the surviving Rain Ninjas, nor to get rid of all the officials, leaving only some ordinary people who have no power to resist.

If Hyuga doesn't have a tolerance for others, how can it develop?

The people they want to deal with are mainly those Rain Ninjas who are loyal to the original Rain Village, or the Akatsuki organization. Although Hyuga can tolerate others, they don't want to raise a bunch of wolves with ulterior motives!

As for those ordinary ninjas, or those ninjas who are unaware of the Akatsuki organization's plan, they can consider giving them a break.

All these take time, so they have been suppressing the people of the Saki family and not letting them start to manage the country.

However, Ryosuke is not completely uninvolved in this matter.

"Kusagi."

Under a head of smooth golden hair, there are facial features that look very gentle.

The handsome man in front of him is different from every noble and official Ryosuke has seen in the Land of Fire. He has an inexplicable aura.

He has killed people.

Ryosuke can see at a glance that this guy has some training foundation. Although there is no chakra in his body, he is definitely not weak in physical skills. But from the calluses on his palms, he doesn't look like a samurai.

After the Hyuga Inner Castle was built, among the batches of guests, he finally waited for the person he wanted to meet.

"Hyuga Ryosuke, I have heard of your name for a long time, but it is really not easy to meet you."

Smiling and extending his palm, Ryosuke looked at the blond man in front of him, "You should... not be from our world, right? This name is also fake?"

He spoke directly, and did not use a tentative tone, his tone was very sure.
