Menma took a sip of the teacup, with a faint smile on his lips.
Although he now has more free time, it is impossible to spend all his time on experiments.
Under normal circumstances, Menma still likes to stay in the office, sipping tea quietly alone, and finding comfort in his busy schedule.
After all, with the guidance of the living fossil, most of the history of the ninja world is no longer a secret to him.
He has plenty of time to perfect his future plans.
As for the Ghost Country, people have been sent to investigate, and I believe that news will be sent back soon.
"If the witch really has the ability to predict, she should be able to know what I mean in advance."
Menma looked down and looked at the information on the table.
This is the recent development information about the Robin Group.
In the period of primitive accumulation, sufficient funds are the most important link.
The economy determines politics, politics affects the military, and money is the main manifestation of the economy.
Only then can the economy determine the superstructure, which is fed back to an organization and a country.
Whether it is the R\u0026D personnel who develop technology or the armed personnel who escort, the Snow Country has sufficient manpower.
As the main source of funds for the Snow Country, the business activities of the Robin Group have also been on the right track.
The Red Moon Organization is still lurking in the dark, and the group is attracting attention in the open.
All the products produced and sold by the group are developed under the guidance of Menma, which is a new thing that has never appeared in the ninja market.
Mainly various advanced technological products such as projectors and televisions. At present, the main export is mainly to countries near the Snow Country, such as the Grass Country, the Ghost Country, the Bear Country and other small countries, as well as the two large countries of the Water Country and the Earth Country.
For some reason, the Fire Country is very resistant to the entry of the Robin Group, so it can't find an opportunity to open the door to the Fire Country market for a while.
However, they couldn't stop Menma, who had the memory of economics in his previous life.
Just then.
Click!
Kumaha didn't even knock on the door, and walked into the office without any courtesy.
"Here, the news from the Land of Waves."
Under Menma's helpless gaze, she slumped on the sofa without any ladylike appearance, and threw the letter in her hand to Menma's desk.
"Really, you are called Tamamonomae-sama, you should at least restrain yourself."
Menma sighed, then opened the letter and scanned it briefly.
"Oh? That guy Yuyashiro is very efficient."
Although he looks like a nobody, he is quite reliable when doing things.
But even such an old-fashioned person would be scared of that plan.
Menma watched with interest as Yuyashiro En kept making excuses and secretly asking for benefits in the letter.
"......Menma."
Kumaha closed his eyes and raised his head: "If you do that, you will force many people to death."
"Hey, hey, hey, no way."
Menma said with a smile without raising his head: "Lord Jiumaha, who has done all kinds of evil, when did you become so soft-hearted?"
Having said that, after laughing.
He still shook his head and explained: "Don't worry, my plan will not hurt those simple civilians."
In addition to the "iris bubble", he actually has another half of the plan to ensure that only he can burst this "bubble".
Three years ago, Menma was waiting for this day.
The Snow Country has already polished the foundation for the welfare and security system for the people in the country, and has closely united the military, politics and business.
But except for the Snow Country shrouded by the light of the red moon, other countries are still using the one country, one village system to manage the country.
In Menma's view, such a system not only has fatal flaws, but also causes conflicts between different classes.
They have seriously deviated from the people's base.
The one-country-one-village system established by the first Hokage further stabilized the power of the daimyo and the nobles, but inadvertently brought the people down to the dust.
The ninja village, which represents military power, actually relies on monetary transactions between merchants to settle accounts.
Such an employment relationship can be called pathological and distorted.
In Menma's eyes, those civilians are the power that has not yet been developed and utilized.
The shadow guards of the Snow Country have always been selected from all over the country, and only after formal training have they formed a network of relationships that spread all over the Snow Country and even other small countries.
Sometimes, ordinary people who are inconspicuous and weak may also be the eyes of the Snow Country to monitor the enemy.
And Menma and Akatsuki's footsteps will naturally not stop at one country.
What comes next may be more difficult than destroying a ninja village.
His next goal is clear.
- Wave Country.
Weaken the power of the noble landlords and guide the civilians to resist and fight.
For this, he has been preparing for three years.
"After investigation, the Land of Waves is the country with the most serious class conflicts."
"Smuggling, banned drugs, casinos, gladiatorial arenas... The Land of Waves is extremely prosperous, but merchants, officials and nobles have established a place of feasting and drinking to provide them with so-called entertainment activities."
Menma took out a map and looked at the location of the Land of Waves.
It was a small island country located between the Kingdom of Water and the Kingdom of Fire, but its territory was large enough to accommodate a population of hundreds of thousands.
"If our plan succeeds, the Nation of Waves will become our sharp blade that pierces the heart of the Nation of Fire."
Of course, the most important thing is to lead the people of the Kingdom of Waves to resist the nobles and businessmen of the Snake and Rat Nest.
"What are you going to do?"
Jiumahe shook his legs and asked: "Those ordinary humans who have been oppressed for a long time will not wake up and resist just because of a few words... huh?"
Seeing Menma hand another document to him, Kumaha's expression became confused.
Seeing this, I had no choice but to take the document and scan it.
The first thing that catches the eye is the black bold font on it.
——"Planning of Industrial and Agricultural Professional and Technical Association".
"In the first stage, all the workers and peasants of the unified wave country will establish an organization called the Workers' and Peasants' Professional Technical Association, a mutual aid and self-rescue cooperative organization."
"Provide daily supplies for members who join the association, arrange jobs in a unified manner, bring together the labor force of workers and farmers, and use advanced technology to create..."
There is also the so-called "second phase" behind it.
"It feels so troublesome."
Jiumahe folded his hands on his chest and showed a helpless expression: "So, what do you need me to do?"
She knew every word in it, but it gave her a headache to read them together.
"We still need to give young people some opportunities to perform."
Menma smiled and shook his head: "I have sent Uchiha Nobu and the Lightning Team to the Country of Waves to cooperate with Oya Castle."
"Although this plan is not the most advanced option, for those workers and farmers living at the bottom, it is definitely enough to improve their quality of life several times."
"Alright alright."
Jiumahe stood up lazily: "To directly interfere with the sovereignty of other countries, should it be said that you are worthy of being wrong?"
"Since you don't need help, I'll leave."
When Kumaha left the office, Menma also stood up and came to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Under the moonlight, he stood at the highest point of Snow City, his eyes looking into the distance, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
A gluttonous feast is brewing there.
"It's time to add fire to this carnival."
The tranquility and balance of the ninja world are about to be broken. How long can the false peace last?
………………
Gudong! Gudong!
Oya Chengyan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass of the box, picked up the wine glass and drank heavily without any aristocratic manner.
At this time, Kurama Yunkai had already left, as if he had never been there.
But Oya Chengyan knew very well that his actions were all under surveillance.
"……ha!"
Oya Chengyan scratched his head and smiled bitterly to himself: "It is really a luxury to use Xiaoguo as an experimental subject."
It seems that the Lord is no longer satisfied with the small area of the Kingdom of Snow.
The small country serves as a chessboard, and they are all pawns.
"However, even if I am a chess piece, I am second only to the Jade General."
Oya Chengyan took a deep breath and suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart: "First complete the tasks assigned by the Lord, and then prepare to evacuate the country of waves."
Judging from the master's plan, the country of Waves, which is full of corruption, will soon become a battlefield for great powers.
If a little shrimp like him is caught in the middle, he might suddenly disappear one day.
"After all, I'm just a businessman."
Oya Chengyan walked to a password cabinet, entered the password and took out a scroll.
On the scroll are the names of the great businessmen, officials, and nobles of the Land of Waves.
Every name is familiar.
These are the people who control the direction of the Kingdom of Waves behind the scenes.
As the owner of the largest arena in the Land of Waves and the president of Wedge Real Estate, there are naturally many ways to get this list.
However, the "big fish" behind these "small fish" is not something that an ordinary businessman like him can detect.
Oya Chengyan did not feel too disappointed.
After all, the ones who dance the most are just chess pieces used to deceive others, a group of profit-oriented businessmen.
The real people hiding behind the scenes are the nobles and high-level officials of the Fire Nation, and even the Fire Nation daimyo.
Those guys are not on the same level as the "little fish" from the Country of Waves.
In front of them, no matter how much money is, it is meaningless.
Oya Chengyan scanned the scroll up and down, and quickly locked on the name in it.
——Ivan Renren.
A guy who appears to be very kind but secretly smuggles people.
Greed, stupidity, laziness, lust, arrogance...
The only advantage is that he has superb reincarnation skills and has an uncle-nephew relationship with a high-ranking official in the Fire Country.
The most important thing is that his uncle is dead and he is now facing bankruptcy.
"Hmph, then I'll choose you."
Oya Shiroen sneered and flew down from the window, looking like a huge bat in the dark night.
And his appearance has changed into that of a middle-aged man with a scar on his face.
Coupled with a dark hooded robe, no one can recognize his true identity.
Business in the Country of Waves is very developed, and the trend of iris flowers has already started.
Those greedy speculators have already seen the business opportunities and have purchased and hoarded irises from retail investors on a large scale in the market.
Waiting for them to breed bulbs, although the special effects have been diluted, the price is still soaring.
Irises of good quality can even be sold for millions of dollars.
but……
This trend only spreads in a few cities in the center of the Country of Waves.
"In the eyes of the Lord, this level is far from enough."
The figure of Oya Chengyan was sneaking in the shadows, thinking secretly in his heart: "If we burst this bubble directly now, we may earn hundreds of millions or even billions, but it will not be able to severely damage those businessmen and nobles."
"So, that adult prepared another terrible plan."
Combining the two disastrous methods, Oya Chengyan didn't know what the effect would be.
But this has nothing to do with him, so he naturally has no intention of showing mercy.
Swish! !
Oya Chengyan soon came to a luxurious mansion.
The flickering light in the house also let him know that Yiwen Renren was not asleep.
After changing his appearance, he opened the window and jumped in.
"who?!!"
After seeing the fierce scarred face of Oya Chengyan, Iven Ren's fat body soaking in the bathhouse was trembling with fright.
"Damn it! Guards! Where are the guards?!"
Yi Wenren has arranged for at least a dozen warriors. Normally, this voice would alarm countless people.
But after howling for a long time, no one came.
Seeing this, Yi Wenren immediately panicked.
"Where is this... guard? You, what do you want to do?"
Oya Chengyan ignored Ivenren's words and took out a pot of iris from the scroll.
Yi Wenren, who was originally panicked, immediately straightened his eyes after seeing the iris.
This color, this floral scent, this feeling...
Undiluted initial variety iris? !
This is a good thing that even the great names of the Fire Country may not be able to possess!
"If I wanted to kill you, you would be dead by now."
Oya Chengyan placed the iris in front of Iven Ren and said expressionlessly: "It seems you have recognized it."
"Then tell the truth, I want to make a deal with you."
Hearing this, Yi Wenren felt that his heart was beating violently.
"You mean...you want to sell me this pot of iris?"
In Evanren's eyes, the iris in front of him is money, power and status!
As long as he buys the original undiluted variety in this pot, he can use this iris to divide the second and third generations of bulbs.
The money from selling the bulbs can not only pay off the debts he owes, but also enable him to become a true noble.
By then, those guys who have bullied him and those who have laughed at him will all be trampled under his feet!
"Buy this pot of iris?"
Oya Chengyan pretended to be disappointed and shook his head: "So that's all your ambition? Let's forget it. You are not prepared to be killed by jealousy, but you are not qualified to cooperate with me in this business. "
After saying that, he picked up Iris and turned to leave.
"Etc., etc!!"
Evan Ren subconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes and hurriedly asked: "What do you mean? Is there anything more profitable than hoarding iris flowers?"
The corners of Miyajoyan's mouth turned up with his back to Ivenren.
This stupid fish has taken the bait.
"Let me tell you a story first!"
Oya Chengyan turned around and his tone became calm again: "According to legend, there is a country in the far west. There was a severe drought one year and the common people had no food to eat, but the daimyo and ministers were eating, drinking and having fun all day long. ”
"And there was a wise man named Archimedes, who was thinking hard about how to save the people, so one day, he played chess with the daimyo..."
