Chapter 424 Question 1

After competition from many companies, the Third Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village, who finally won the bid, has been feeling a bit troubled recently.

He had finally gotten the lucrative job of railway construction in the Land of Whirlpools, and had finally won the bid. He could finally make a lot of money, and also expand the influence of the Hidden Cloud Village.

As a result, a series of inexplicable things happened.

First of all, after winning the bid, he plans to purchase materials locally. This is normal, right?

It would be a complete waste of time to transport cement from the Hidden Cloud Village to the Land of Whirlpools. If I have the space to carry a shipload of cement, why not load something else?!

Then, there is the matter of construction machinery.

There is nothing much to say about this. If Youya says that he will not target you, then he will not target you. Konoha Village also has a corresponding construction team in the Land of Whirlpools, but they all act according to the orders of Mito Kado En.

Mitomon Yan has something to say. This engineering team is mine. If you want to use it, then pay some money. What? You want to use my engineering team without paying? That doesn't make sense!

The Third Raikage had thought about using the Hidden Cloud Village's own construction team.

But after calculating the travel expenses and so on, I realized it would be better to recruit local workers.

It's true that they don't ask for much, just 20% more than the usual salary. Strictly speaking, this proportion is not excessive.

After all, they are Konoha's construction team. It's good enough that they are willing to sign a contract with you. What else do you want?

Of course, on the surface, the Third Raikage must have looked like he had suffered a loss.

In fact, anyone who knows a little bit of math can basically figure out that in terms of the construction team, Konoha really did not target the Third Raikage.

Then there are the machines.

Sorry, Youya positioned the Whirlpool Country as a place with [developed tertiary industry].

In other words, the local people of the Whirlpool Country in this place can work in factories, but the main industry is still the service industry and tourism industry.

As for the leadership of the machinery factories, shipyards, newspapers, TV stations and so on in the Whirlpool Country, Youya would never let the people of the Whirlpool Country take them down.

At most you can let your own people become the Minister of Tourism and the Minister of Culture. As for the others, you will definitely not give them as long as You Ya is in office for one day.

Therefore, the Third Raikage still had to either buy the machinery from Konoha or transport his own.

The Third Raikage thought about it again and felt that Konoha was really being authentic this time and they didn't even raise the price at this time.

So the Third Raikage decided to buy three sets, so that he could transport them back to the Hidden Cloud Village when they were all used up, so he wouldn't lose too much.

Well, the machinery, manpower, and materials were all ready, and Yuya didn't make any trouble. But when Konoha confirmed the construction in the 59th year...

The local people of Whirlpool Country are causing trouble.

And for very good reasons:

The road you built took up my land, can you give me some compensation? !

The Third Raikage was numb.

He never expected that Youya didn't make any trouble, and even to some extent Youya cooperated with him very well. But the local troublemaker of Whirlpool Country suddenly jumped out.

Nagato, the Minister of Construction of Whirlpool Country, is also angry!

Don’t the people of the Whirlpool Country know that once this railway is built, their transportation routes in the Whirlpool Country will be completely changed?

Even Nagato and the Third Raikage's first thought was whether it was that bastard Yuya who was behind it.

But after checking it out, I realized that I had misunderstood him.

Youya didn't use any connections at all, nor did he send any ninjas to the Land of Whirlpools. Even Mito Menen was already preparing to return to Konoha Village to report on his work this year.

Youya is looking for an heir, and Mitomon En also needs to find someone to continue to be the emperor of the Whirlpool Country.

Of course, strictly speaking, Youya can directly designate the candidate.

However, Youya felt that after throwing Mito Kado En directly into that broken place of Whirlpool Country for more than 30 years, Konoha Village had not enjoyed many benefits. Although it was very cool to be the emperor in Whirlpool Country, Youya still owed Mito Kado En something.

Therefore, Yuya gave Mitomon En the opportunity to recommend a candidate for the team's next general manager of Konoha in Whirlpool Country.

As long as it wasn't too excessive, Youya wasn't going to refuse.

What is too much?

Naturally, it was Mitomon En who recommended someone whose ninja abilities were not particularly outstanding.

After all... as the governor of Whirlpool Country, who can guarantee that he will not be assassinated?

So we still have to find someone with outstanding abilities. Although Konoha Village has developed rapidly recently, after all, this world is still dominated by ninjas.

Mitomon En also knew this, so he had a headache recently. His own family was in the Daimyo Prefecture, and his family's outstanding ninja...

To be honest, there are really not many.

Daming Prefecture is indeed a place that allows too many useless people to live.

Therefore, Mizuto Menyan hasn't even taken care of his own affairs, so how could he have nothing to do and stir up trouble?

Still using this low-level method of villagers making trouble.

And since Youya and Mitomon En are not causing any trouble, there is nothing much to say. Just look for your own problems.

Well, then the Third Raikage did some calculations, and figured, if every place and every person had to pay a sum of money, then his business, which was originally able to pay back within the first year after it was built, might now take up to ten years!

When Yuya was carrying out reforms in Konoha Village, everything had a plan in advance.

Those were the straw papers that Youya had in his hand at the very beginning.

At that time, Nara Deer was also very surprised, and felt that Youya had a plan for everything.

But in fact, Youya was just building according to the urban planning of his previous life.

In other words, when You Ya was still a makeshift team in the village, he had already calculated where the railway and the highway were.

When other villages copied the model, they definitely modified the houses, railways and roads together. The villagers received new houses and compensation, so naturally they would not cause trouble.

But the Land of Whirlpools is different.

Under Youya's arrangement, many new architectural styles have been built in the Whirlpool Country.

And because the Whirlpool Country focuses on the tertiary industry, many of the houses here are two-story villas, at most three or four floors, with a yard. The main feature is that they provide a comfortable living environment and a good mood.

Then comes the problem.

When Nagato was calculating, he must have calculated the optimal distance for the railway, so the optimal distance would inevitably pass through these villages.

If you don't give money...

Why should others ask you to build this road?

Nagato encountered his first problem.

What Youya knew was that this was just the beginning.

In fact, many times it is best to develop a village when it is extremely poor.

And when the construction is completed, someone will definitely feel sorry for the jars and cans in the village.

There is no way around it. No matter which world ordinary people are in, what they value is definitely their own piece of land.
