Chapter 402 Resettlement Plan

The ownership of the land set aside in the Land of Fire now belongs to him, Uchiha Sasuke, and other people living on this land only have the right to use the corresponding land, which involves the issue of collecting taxes from the residents.

In current society, usually (broadly speaking) only businessmen and farmers are exposed to laws related to "taxes". One is responsible for paying money and the other is responsible for paying grain. There are various reasons. As long as ordinary people don't go out to do business, they hardly have much exposure to tax matters.

Like ninjas, they usually only encounter "commissions" from their superiors, while the source of daimyo's assets is mostly for subordinates to invest and make money, such as mining, leasing land, etc. Of course, if you don’t have enough money, there will be more convenient solutions, such as printing directly or printing at will.

The great names of various countries in the past also vaguely knew that something might be wrong with this, but there has never been a problem.

This is also due to the fact that apart from the powerful class, a considerable part of the funds flow to ninjas, and ninjas die easily. In addition, the damage caused by various ninjutsu during ninja fights often requires reconstruction. The sponge of infrastructure also absorbs a large amount of expanded currency.

Not to mention inflation, the mint's printing speed is constantly racing against the ninja's money-burning speed.

Naturally, Sasuke's sources of funds are not all from business and mining with Rasa's human puppets.

The Yondaime Kazekage, the gold miner Rasa, who learned from the past, has become so rich by collecting alluvial gold through magnetic escape, but even in the face of a black hole like Sunagakure Village, he has not succeeded in making a fortune. Sasuke collects placer gold mainly for use as a reserve of industrial raw materials, and also plans to use gold as one of the value denominators for his own currency in the future.

And doing business between countries is just to cover the legitimacy of income and funding sources.

The big names are printing money like everyone else, so who is still working honestly and needs money? This can be learned from the practices of famous people. It is very easy for ninjas to acquire equipment and technology.

But Sasuke would not be too unscrupulous. Before issuing his own currency, as long as the additional currency is not too outrageous, the Daimyo would like to see that the bubble on the currency can be maintained as it is. Naturally, this is also what Sasuke wants to see.

Sasuke had a big cake on his lips and used the fate of many resisters as side dishes. He brought this group of people here half forcefully and half voluntarily. He wanted to make them firmly rooted under his rule and not move around. When you go elsewhere, you always have to implement welfare.

Maybe some people take the initiative to worship Orochimaru for strength, which does not sound like a stable master at first sight, but as security or potential negative teaching materials to warn others, they also have their own value.

No matter how much he said, it was useless. Sasuke couldn't keep track of thousands of people. He would give them a house first. What did the people want? They just wanted to live a stable life.

Of course, these low-rent apartments are only used for temporary residence. Since they are the first batch of residents, Sasuke naturally wants to provide them with more livable options. Sasuke's money didn't come from the wind (even if he printed it casually, the material cost was still money). Don't know how to cherish things that don't cost money. The necessary sunk costs can become the reins that tie them.

As a benefit from Orochimaru's return, everyone will be eligible to purchase a first-time home with "50 square meters of residential land plus 50 square meters of supporting garden" at a discounted price, and will be provided with a nearly interest-free special housing loan. The left hand is the right hand, except that it takes up some cash flow, Sasuke doesn't actually need to spend much money for this.

A 50-square-meter house with a one-story brick-concrete structure costs about 100 taels without decoration. After purchasing the 4-square-meter land, it only costs taels. Even ordinary people who are not ninjas can probably settle down successfully after working for Sasuke for two or three years at most, let alone those with a little ability.

For example, those managers were very capable. When they first came to the town, Sasuke asked them if they were willing to take charge of public security management. They were also considered civil servants. Once the contract was signed, the two-month probationary period after taking up the job was successfully completed. , they can apply for a housing loan directly and start repairing their house.

Of course the purchase is limited, of course if you pay more you can get it bigger and better.

The per capita area of ​​​​100 square meters of small single-family construction planning, temporary apartment areas, and other supporting facilities, plus road area, will only require preparation of a few square kilometers of land even if the population reaches 5. Sasuke's planning document temporarily designed an area of ​​ square kilometers, which is less than half the size of Konoha. Compared with Konoha's population of hundreds of thousands, it can be said to be quite loose. After all, Konoha still has many people. Living in high-rise buildings, this plan does not calculate the vertical population carrying capacity at all.

Of course, there is also the necessary area of ​​cultivated land. The vast wasteland and forest land need to be reclaimed. If we want to be completely self-sufficient in food and take into account future population growth, the area of ​​agricultural land will never be smaller than the residential area. In the first one or two years after the city was established, supplies still needed to be brought in from elsewhere. Summer has just begun, and if we act quickly, we may be able to harvest another season of rations this year.

The entire city's construction work, literacy, and professional skills training are enough to kill them for a year or two.

A town of more than one or two thousand people may seem a bit too small, but as Sasuke uses it to train his own management, establish a legal and regulatory system, and conduct trial and error, this scale should be quite flexible and feasible. The main reason is that there are only so many people at hand. It is a sensitive period for major countries before the war. Sasuke does not intend to increase the scope of his actions at this time.

Sasuke's formulation of the "Constitution" and "Civil Code" seems to be a bit too detailed. Compared with other countries and regions of this era, it is definitely unique. After all, the land is vast and the population is sparse, which hinders information transmission and management. There will always be a need to delegate power to local areas. Even if some wise people have come up with more specific and reasonable management methods, it will be difficult to implement them in practice. Appropriate confusion in policies will also facilitate Demonstrate your voice and enjoy vulnerability.

A test was arranged to check their knowledge level, and the literacy rate was less than 20%. Just because they can write their own names cannot be said to be literate.

According to their knowledge level, they are divided into: literacy classes for those who cannot read, primary school level improvement classes, and skills training classes for specialized knowledge.

Special arrangements are made for special matters. If there are children enrolling in the school in the future, of course, a more normal teaching process will be reorganized.

It should be a bit embarrassing for people in their teens, 20s or older to still be able to read, but after the class started, everyone was at the same level, and they were no longer the age of young children, so they didn’t act too much. Difficult.

The teachers who attended the class were told that they were "liberated from prison." Although they were rescued, none of them were good-natured. Even though they received safety promises from the school, their teaching attitudes were proactively maintained to be quite friendly.

No matter what their knowledge level is, after they start to go to school, laws and regulations have become content that they will be exposed to. It does not mean that they must memorize various legal provisions, but that they must know that after paying taxes and insurance, they must know the relevant laws and regulations. Compared with those who do not pay, what kind of benefits will they get, so as to avoid having any grudges about the difference in salary from the initial contract after actually joining the work.

The issue of salary will soon arise, so it is also important that these legal provisions are widely available.

After leaving the base, Sasuke didn't give them a chance to plunder everywhere. Everyone was destitute. The daily teaching time is usually only half a day, and Sasuke has thoughtfully prepared enough flexible part-time positions for them so that they can have pocket money to improve their lives besides their usual studies.
