Chapter 99: The blessing bestowed by Lord Hokage makes people involuntarily raise their right hands

Chapter 99: The blessing bestowed by Lord Hokage makes people involuntarily raise their right hands and shout "Long live!"
The house itself is not worth much, especially in the world of Naruto with extraordinary powers. It is a very easy thing for a ninja to quickly build a batch of habitable houses.

But is the house that Konoha is selling the worthless house? What Uchiha Nan is selling is the future of Konoha!
It seems that Nara Shikato's vision has not yet been opened up, Uchiha Nan sighed slightly.

"Lu Yuan, you should be aware of how profitable the shops in the Konoha Commercial Center are now."

"If Konoha raises the banner, it will build the most profitable and safest commercial center in the ninja world on this wasteland, and there will also be residential areas, hospitals, and entertainment centers around it."

"Would you choose to buy a house or a shop here?"

Nara Shikaon nodded without thinking. He was familiar with the business blueprint drawn up by Uchiha Nan.

In the future, Konoha will become a factory in the ninja world, using its technological advantages and cheap labor to seize wealth from all over the world. Every penny earned will belong to Konoha, and it won't even have to pay taxes!
The daimyo didn't have the courage to ask Konoha to pay taxes.

Opening a store in Konoha's commercial center means opening a store in the most prosperous area of ​​the ninja world. If you can't make any money, you deserve to be poor all your life.

The same is true when buying a residential house. It should be fully equipped with facilities, and have everything you need for eating, drinking, and entertainment. It should also be located in a prime location. All you have to do is buy it and wait for it to appreciate in value.

"Then it's over."

"As long as Konoha can write a PPT or a plan, even if we just put a sign in the wasteland, those wealthy merchants and nobles will line up to pay us."

"We can collect the money first and do the work later!"

Uchiha Nan's words made Nara Shikato suddenly realize that this was just getting something for nothing.

"Isn't this good?"

Nara Shikayuan was a little hesitant. In the past, he was a ninja who completed his missions honestly and earned commissions!

There are already too many floating population in Konoha, and the construction of a new urban area is an imminent matter. Originally, this expenditure had to be borne entirely by Konoha itself, but now Nara Shikayuan is a little uncomfortable with using other people's money to do his own business.

"What's wrong!"

"The insects from the Land of Fire want to buy a house and settle down in Konoha so badly. They just want to jump ship and become Konoha's dogs. I am mercifully giving them a chance this time!"

Nara Shikaon fell silent after hearing this. The Hokage's words were rough but his point was valid. He could now see through Uchiha Nan's ambition.

Lord Hokage feels a little cold and wants to change his clothes.

"Hokage-sama, your opinion!"

Nara Shikaon directly chose to agree with both hands and feet. He could not persuade Uchiha Nan to make the decision.

"In that case, let's get ready!"

There are so many things to consider when building a new urban area that is no less important than Konoha’s current urban area. There are also many conflicts of interest involved, so careful planning and preparation are required.

Uchiha Nan waved his hand and asked Nara Shika to go down and make a plan.

Nara Shikato nodded, feeling a little bitter in his heart. He was going to work hard again these days. Since he followed the Hokage, he had been exposed to more and more business, staying up all night to work on plans, and his hair was falling out more and more.

But it is real money. Uchiha Nan has never been stingy with his subordinates. Nara Shikato has now earned his retirement money for three lifetimes. This is the pain of making too much money.
This is another huge project worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions. Konoha's new city area is not a junky place with a few houses built randomly using a few earth escape techniques. It involves the coordination of power facilities, underground sewer design, and Konoha's defense barrier. These are all troublesome issues.

After more than ten days of working day and night, Nara Shikato and his team produced a draft, which took into account every detail from site selection and construction, personnel deployment, to the defensive barrier of the new urban area.

After reading it, Uchiha Nan thought there was nothing wrong with it and nodded in agreement.

After everything is ready, all that remains is to wait for big investors to come in and pay money.

Konoha's publicity machine started up again. In just a few days, people at Konoha's sales office had already started queuing up to pay.

The insect nobles naturally had no shortage of money to buy a house, so they simply sent people to queue up and pay for the house, which was more of a gesture of goodwill.

Konoha Dad, please accept my knees!

The insects bought up an entire area at a time, and their generosity was unbelievable. Uchiha Nan even felt that he had sold his house too low. The nobles' contributions alone provided most of the construction funds.

However, they only bought properties in prime locations, and the remaining ordinary areas were prepared by Uchiha Nan for civilians, and the prices were relatively low.

Even if they still couldn't afford it, Uchiha Nan thoughtfully provided them with a loan. With the meager wages they earned in the sweatshop, they could pay off all the loans in just 20 years.

Konoha earns money and Konoha flowers, and wants to take them home as soon as they are separated.

This is Konoha’s blessing!
At least you have struggled in Konoha for your whole life, and you can live a stable life for another 20 years, and you can also own a house in Konoha. If you are lucky, you can also start a family, and then repeat the above blessings again.

"so good"

"Everyone's face is filled with smiles. This is what Hokage-sama calls a blessing."

These days, Uzumaki Reed has followed Uchiha Nan all over Konoha Village, from the sweatshop to the current construction site of the new city area.

Although everyone was busy with their work and even had to race against time to eat, the light in their eyes was so dazzling.

Uzumaki Ashiya has fought in battles all his life. He is an old-school ninja who came from the Warring States Period. He is determined to carry forward the Uzumaki clan and make it stronger.

So Uzumaki Reed asked Uchiha Nan about the secret of Konoha's prosperous development. Since his little brother Uzumaki Reed asked so humbly, Uchiha Nan was of course generous in giving advice and explained to Uzumaki Reed with great interest.

He was confused by the strange words Uchiha Nan said, such as capital, productivity, and all kinds of new words that made him feel at a loss.

After several days of exploration, Vortex Reed seemed to understand something.

Uchiha Nan provided them with a stable job, enough food to eat, and even allowed them to buy a house of their own.

It is not a cheap wooden house, but a house made of cement. In order to attract ordinary people to buy houses, Uchiha Nan specially built a model house. He bid farewell to the rough wooden houses that were easily eaten by insects. The whole body of the house was covered with a layer of white, which was delicate and white. It had a complete set of electrical facilities, and there were electric lights in every room of the house.

The design is exquisite and beautiful. Although the space is a little small, with only one bedroom and bathroom, it can only accommodate one person. The price is a little bit higher, and it takes almost a lifetime of labor to pay it back, but there is nothing wrong with it.
But for the cattle and horses of this era, it is simply an incredible thing.

Wars, exploitation by the nobles, natural disasters and all kinds of shit have made the ninja world's beasts numb, especially during the First Ninja World War, when there were refugees everywhere and wealth was rapidly concentrated in the upper echelons. They have been disciplined to the point of stuttering, so they can call the insects "clear soup masters".

Uchiha Nan targeted the nobles and plundered all the wealth they had accumulated over decades and hundreds of years. He built large-scale infrastructure, opened factories, gave them jobs and fed them. Who would dare to say a bad word about Uchiha Nan?
Even the lower-level ninjas of Konoha began to slack off from their duties. They gave up their good missions and started working with civilians. This was a serious matter.

In the past, ninjas were off-duty killing machines who only knew how to carry out missions to earn commissions. They would kill whoever their employers told them to. Now, they are starting to participate in production and construction.

This is of course inseparable from the deliberate guidance of Uchiha Nan. The industrialization of ninjas has always been advocated by Uchiha Nan, and Uchiha Nan is really willing to spend money on it.

Especially in the aspect of education, thanks to the fat insects, they fed Konoha, allowing Uchiha Kusunoki to have the funds and ability to carry out large-scale drastic reforms in education.

Now the Ninja School is recruiting students in large numbers again, but this time Uchiha Nan has implemented a diversion system for ninja education. Ninjas with combat talents will receive the old education, while those without much talent can only grow into Genin, and learn one or two Fire Styles and Earth Styles. The small fry who can't do that can just go to a construction site to work as ashes. Even if they are Genin, their physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

Chakra is the difference between ordinary people and ninjas. Genin who have mastered chakra can fly over eaves and walls, and run around in trees like monkeys, but ordinary people can't do that.

Even when moving bricks at a construction site, ordinary people can only move one or two stacks at a time, while a Genin can at least move three stacks of bricks at a time. This is the difference.

However, there are not many ordinary people who have the talent to refine chakra. When other ninja villages encounter such seedlings, they will take a few shots regardless of whether they have talent or not, and take them all to the battlefield for a walk. How can they be so luxurious as to let them go to the construction site to carry plaster and bricks?

All this requires strong financial resources, and Uchiha Nan just happens to have money. If it is not enough, he can just go and slaughter pigs.

Anyway, there are a lot of fat pigs in the Fire Nation. Even if too many are slaughtered at one time, the worst that can happen is that they can be fattened up by raising them for a longer period of time.

"Hokage-sama, can the Uzumaki clan achieve all this?"

Uzumaki Reed's eyes were shining, the Uzumaki clan also wanted to progress with Konoha.

Hum. Want to make progress?
Of course not!
Wouldn't it be better for the Uzumaki clan to just join Konoha? Do they still need to improve themselves?
Of course, these are all what he really thinks. Uchiha Nan certainly wouldn't say this on the surface.

"Of course you can!"

"Konoha's advanced experience cannot be explained in a few words, so for the long-term development of the Uzumaki clan, Konoha has specially prepared an exchange student program for you."

"As for the Uzumaki clan, we will do our best to teach them and give them all the secrets of the village's prosperity and strength. They can't use it."

Uchiha Nan skillfully painted a big picture for Uzumaki Reed, which made Uzumaki Reed want to return to the Uzumaki clan immediately and pack up all the young people of the family and send them to Konoha to study.

“It’s time to eat after work”

A shout from a loud speaker interrupted the conversation between Uchiha Nan and Uzumaki Reed, and before they knew it, it was time for lunch.

Uchiha Nan originally planned to take Uzumaki Reed back to Konoha's grand hotel which specially entertained foreign guests for a banquet, but Uzumaki Reed insisted on dragging Uchiha Nan to the construction site to eat boxed lunches, wanting to experience the local customs.

Uh. It’s not even a box lunch.

The construction site contractor called the chef and brought today's lunch to the table.

They are all black protein blocks, which are the latest research and development products of Senju Tobirama. Insects have a lot of protein. The protein blocks in Snowpiercer are all made by cockroaches. The insects bred by Senju Tobirama and the Aburame clan have more protein content than cockroaches.

In other words, the method of making the protein block took Senju Tobirama a little bit of time.

Recently, the Oil Women have been cultivating them on a large scale using tree bark, weeds, various kinds of slop, and even garbage. The biggest advantage of these insects is that they are not picky eaters, grow large, and reproduce quickly.

The protein block factory has already started production, and these workers are now the first batch of tasters.

"what about the taste?"

Uchiha Nan knew what the raw materials were, but for psychological reasons, he hadn't tasted it yet, but Uzumaki Reed didn't know and took a bite directly.

“It tastes a bit sticky and has a lot of water, but no special flavor.”

After listening to this, Uchiha Nan also tried to take a bite. The taste was indeed similar to what Uzumaki Reed said. As long as the raw materials were not a group of juicy big insects, this should be considered a good food.

An ordinary person can be full with two or three yuan, and with some pickles, it can be considered a decent lunch. After all, they had nothing to eat in the past.

"Is that Hokage-sama?"

Uchiha Nan did not wear the divine robe today. He was just wearing casual clothes. There was not even the Uchiha clan emblem on the back of his clothes. He did not expect that he could still be recognized.

One stone caused a thousand ripples, and the workers who were eating protein blocks all over the construction site looked towards Uchiha Nan.

Most of the people working at the Konoha construction site are refugees who have come to Konoha to make a living. They used to work in sweatshops, but now that the construction has started, the wages paid at the construction site are higher than in the factory. In order to earn more money, the men go directly to the construction site to work.

The woman is not very strong but still works in the factory
When the workers get off work at night, they go back to the sweatshop to work the night shift, and can go back to sleep after working until midnight.

The light is a good thing.
Uchiha Nan walked towards the workers, raised his hand to signal, and then there was a thunderous cheer.

"."

"How is everyone doing in Konoha?"

"Can you fill your stomach?"

"Has everyone bought a house in Konoha's new city area?"

"."

Uchiha Nan transformed himself into a caring leader and asked about the workers' food, clothing, housing and transportation. The rough man in the lead smiled naively and answered loudly.

"Hokage-sama, we can now have enough to eat in Konoha, and we can even get paid for working in the factory."

"I also bought a house in Konoha. I took out a 20-year mortgage. Now I am building my own house. My son is lucky enough to go to the school run by the Hokage."

As the rough man spoke, his eyes turned red. Now he had hope for the future. As long as he worked hard, he would be able to live a good life sooner or later!
"Hail, Lord Hokage!"

"Long live."

The man's congratulations once again led to the crowd's cheers. Uchiha Nan stood in the crowd, bathed in the midday sun, and the whole person looked radiant.

Uzumaki Reed standing by was so excited that she was speechless. Is this the Hokage of Konoha?
It's so terrifying!
