Chapter 43 4-Country Business Alliance
Senju Tobirama was puzzled, has your Iwagakure Village decided on the selection of the third Tsuchikage?
The person from Iwagakure Village was a strong man named Red Earth. He said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: In fact, the village is still fighting, but everyone agrees that making money does not conflict with the selection of the third Tsuchikage.
Although there was a conflict with you Konoha before, the Kirigakure Village almost killed a group of Konoha people in a sneak attack. There is no deep hatred between the two parties. There is nothing wrong with talking about money when it is time to talk about it.
Everyone listening to Youya was dumbfounded.
No, brother, are you so upright? !
Hong Tu continued to speak in a nonchalant manner: "Our main thing in Yanyin Village is honesty. Before, Kumogakure and the others gave me money to help fight the girls, so we fought. Now that you can bring benefits to our Yanyin Village, then we I put aside my disputes and came to discuss cooperation with you.
Senju Tobirama didn't think too much about it. Iwagakure Village was sure that it would be good news for Konoha not to interfere in the upcoming war between Konoha and Kumogakure, so he agreed first.
Yuya also agreed, and it was not easy for people to come all the way from Iwagakure Village. It would be good for both villages for everyone to live in peace.
So, Yuya discovered a problem. There is no special place for me to host foreign guests here in Konoha.
Ok……
It seems that it didn't happen before.
After thinking about it, Youya wrote this down in a small notebook.
Konoha will definitely expand the outer city in the future, but it doesn't matter if people from small country villages come to live in the outer city, but people from large countries with the same size as Konoha come and live in the outer city...
It's really not these people's face that's being embarrassed, it's my own face that's being embarrassed.
But after looking at the space in Konoha's inner city...
There is really no more space to transform into a residence for receiving foreign guests.
The only one who can move...
Youya focused on a mansion where he had lived for the past few years...
My wife still lives there now...
Youya shook his head, no, you must not move here.
Although Yuya knew that Uzumaki Mito would not refuse if he spoke, it was impossible for Yuya to do such a thing.
Rather than letting Uzumaki Mito sacrifice his own interests to take care of the overall situation, it would be better...
Yuya looked at the clans of several other families in the inner city of Konoha.
Uchiha is too remote and not suitable for building a hotel to welcome foreign guests.
The most suitable one is definitely...the Hyuga clan.
This clan is located in the northwest of Konoha, occupying one-twentieth of the size of the inner city. It is smaller than the Uchiha clan, but the Uchiha clan is far away from the core area of Konoha. But it's very close...
However, now is not the time to acquire land.
Those muscular idiots in Kumogakure haven't signed a peace treaty yet, so they can't provoke internal conflicts in the village at this time.
After recovering his thoughts, Senju Tobirama took Yuya to the conference room to discuss cooperation with the red earth envoy of Iwagakure Village.
However, after Hongtu handed the document filled with regulations to Tobirama, Tobirama opened it and his eyes suddenly turned red. He looked at Hongtu dangerously and said: "Does Iwagakure want to cooperate with our Konoha? It's obviously an empty wish. Glove White Wolf!”
Red Earth's face was expressionless: "We in Iwagakure are very trustworthy. If Konoha doesn't agree, there is nothing we can do."
Yuya could see clearly from behind Tobirama that the conditions of Iwagakure Village were actually very simple. Konoha borrowed one billion taels of funds and paid them back ten years later. The interest was calculated as 1.5 points per year, which is 50 million taels a year. .
Then Konoha invested in building factories in Iwagakure Village, and there were also iron ore and soil countries, and there were quite a few.
20% of the output in the previous three years will be given to you Konoha.
Then there is the elimination of tariffs on commercial exchanges between the two sides, allowing merchants to pass without barriers.
Konoha's things were sold to Iwagakure at original price...
The above is basically a copy of the treaty signed between Konoha and Kirigakure.
Strictly speaking, these regulations have no problem in Youya's eyes.
However, in Senju Tobirama's eyes, he didn't believe that Iwagakure would actually pay back the money after receiving one billion ryo.
And why is the interest rate so low?
It should be 10% anyway, right?
Senju Tobirama's first reaction was to refuse. Yuya coughed. Senju Tobirama turned to look at Yuya: "Do you have something to say?"
Yuya nodded.
At this time, Hongtu also saw Youya and asked doubtfully: "Who is this..."
Yuya: "I am a nobody who studies under the Hokage-sama, please don't pay too much attention to me."
Hongtu nodded. It was normal for a young man to learn this kind of thing next to the shadow of a village. It showed that this boy was trusted and valued by the shadow.
Yuya whispered a few words to Senju Tobirama, who thought for a while and said to Hong Tu: "I will take these regulations back and look at them, and I will reply to you some day."
Hongtu nodded: "Then it's up to you, Hokage."
However, he had given up hope in his heart and was planning to wait in Konoha until the results came out before returning to Iwagakure Village.
Hongtu left, and Senju Tobirama and Yuya discussed these regulations.
You Ya thinks this billion taels can be borrowed.
But Senju Tobirama never believed that Iwagakure would abide by the contract and pay back the money on time.
Yuya was helpless, Senju Tobirama still didn't understand the method of economic warfare after all.
The one billion taels must not be borrowed in vain, Yanyin Village must be asked to come up with the mortgage.
What does Iwagakure Village have?
The land of earth is rich in minerals.
Different from the poor people around Sand Hidden Village, but the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind are particularly wealthy, the daimyo of the Kingdom of Earth focus on trust.
Or it may be because they know that only when the Ninja Village is strong can the Earth Kingdom be at peace, so the Earth Kingdom heavily subsidizes Iwagakure Village, with sufficient annual funds.
Anyway, there has never been news of people starving to death in the Earth Kingdom.
It is completely different from the Kingdom of Wind.
After all, the minerals, oases and other rich places in the Kingdom of Wind are all in the hands of the great names of the Kingdom of Wind.
Sunagakure Village wants? Please beg us. If we are in a good mood, we will give you some money. If we are in a bad mood, get out of here.
Yuya's target is obviously the minerals in the Kingdom of Earth.
It's a pity that Senju Tobirama is not interested in this proposal, because he feels that even if Iwagakure Village gives it, Konoha will send people to receive it, and the other party will definitely refuse to pay. Then it will still be a bamboo basket, so why not not give it in the first place? ?
Yuya had no choice but to say that there were some things he couldn't say. If Iwagakure Village agreed but then defaulted, the people sent by Konoha to receive them would be kept in Iwagakure Village forever, but Yuya can guarantee that Iwagakure Village's future business reputation It will drop to the freezing point, and businessmen will be less willing to go to the Earth Kingdom in the future. The economic game of the Earth Kingdom will slowly die, and then absorb the blood of the Earth Kingdom to fatten Konoha. The loss will be a team of Muya. It’s just the team that Ye sent to receive them in the past.
But it was certainly impossible to say this.
Anyway, since Senju Tobirama doesn't trust Iwagakure so much, let's try another approach.
Borrow 100 million a year, and borrow one billion in ten years. At the same time, Iwagakure can provide Konoha with food crops and other materials of corresponding value to offset the aid of 100 million taels.
Or you can give them ninjutsu scrolls. Konoha can buy them at a price that is 20% higher than the market price.
However, under this condition, as long as the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village who takes office is not stupid, it is impossible to exchange it for a ninjutsu scroll.
Senju Tobirama expressed satisfaction with the plan proposed by Yuya.
Wouldn't it be enough to give this plan from the beginning?
I have to accept that bullshit proposal he made.
Youya sighed helplessly, and then went straight to a small gold mine he had explored before to collect gold after get off work.
There is a lot of gold here, dozens of tons, but unfortunately most of it is deep underground. Although Yuya's ability has improved now, he can only explore to a depth of ten kilometers underground. If he wants to continue going down, then he has to Wait until your abilities continue to grow.
But there’s no rush, it’s enough to get a few hundred kilograms this time.
You Ya is thirteen years old this year and has a lot of time. Take your time and don’t rush.
In total, Youya already has more than a ton of gold.
It seems like a lot, but if you use your ability to turn a ton of gold into a cube, it will be a cube with a length, width and height of not even 40 centimeters. It can be said to be very small. It can fit in an ordinary suitcase and cannot be dragged around. explain.
Yuya can even let them cover his body without sealing the gold in the scroll.
Just walking with a ton of gold on your back is indeed too heavy, unless you use your own ability to carry it all the time...
hissing...
This seems like a good way to exercise your abilities.
Well, Yuya decided to exercise his abilities.
This still cannot be left behind.
……
The next day, the nineteenth year of Konoha, when Hongtui had no hope at all, Senju Tobirama found Hongtu and proposed a loan plan of 100 million a year, which Iwagakure Village could repay with supplies.
Hongtu was a little confused, but he actually agreed?
Although……
In fact, their Iwagakure Village had no intention of defaulting on their debt.
Hongtu thought about it carefully and understood: Well, Konoha must not want our Iwagakure to get involved in the conflict between Konoha and Kumogakure.
Well, that must be the case.
I have to say that to a certain extent, people from these three countries, earth, wind, and water, really have something in common.
In the nineteenth year of Konoha, the four villages of Konoha, Iwagakure, Sandgakure, and Kirigakure formed a business alliance.
It is said that on this day, Kumogakure's second-generation Raikage was so angry that he smashed everything in the Raikage's office.
There is a video on AB of a foreigner who picked up 35 kilograms of gold and took it away. If you are interested, you can search it. It is a little bigger than a palm and weighs 35 kilograms. One ton is nearly thirty pieces in total, which is indeed not a very large volume.
