Chapter 302: Hokage? Not even a dog

You can find all these flaws in Daming, such as being petty and narrow-minded.

But others are daimyo, even if they have many shortcomings, as long as they do not harm the citizens of their own country, they are good daimyo.

Even though he liked to enjoy life, even though he liked beautiful women, there were plenty of beautiful women in the Damingfu Palace.

But compared with the daimyo of the five major countries, the daimyo of the Fire Country is still a good daimyo.

As long as you don't bring harm to the people, as long as you don't interfere in military and political affairs, you can eat, drink and have fun as you please, and you are a good leader.

If the pleasure-seeking emperors of previous lives saw this, they would surely cry and die in the toilet.

"When does the old man plan to remove the notice?"

Tsunade couldn't help but ask this question.

She hadn't attended a high-level meeting for a long time, and hadn't communicated with the Third Hokage for some time. She learned about some major events in the village from Jingyi.

Therefore, Tsunade really had no idea when the Third Hokage would withdraw the announcement.

"Maybe only two or three days?"

Jingyi raised his hand and calculated the time: "The purpose of doing this is nothing more than to force the daimyo to hand over his army and tell him clearly that if you don't pay, Konoha will have to cut its army when the village finances are in trouble. A large number of ninjas stationed at the border have also been transferred away. You can imagine the consequences yourself."

"As long as the Daimyo senses the crisis, he will definitely send the money in time. As long as the money is in hand, the village finances will be solved and the announcement will naturally be revoked. As for what price the Hokage needs to pay to win back the hearts of the village ninjas, it depends on his courage."

Anyway, this time, the Third Hokage will completely offend the Daimyo and will also chill the hearts of many village ninjas.

Even if it could be salvaged afterwards, it would deal a serious blow to the reputation of the Third Hokage.

"This is a big deal."

Tsunade was simply speechless.

To be honest, judging from Konoha's fiscal revenue and the amount of funding from the Daimyo Prefecture, Konoha's finances are really healthy. Let alone three years of war, even if it fights for another three years, Konoha's finances will not be in a state of being penniless.

But some people were too selfish and moved the money too much, and after three years of war, problems began to emerge.

"I'm afraid that in the future, families like Sarutobi and Shimura will have a hard time."

After this happened, the Third Hokage could no longer easily subsidize these families or give them money, otherwise the finances would still be in trouble.

Then these families need to rely on themselves to be self-sufficient.

However, all these families supported by the Third Hokage had a common problem, that is, they did not have sufficient family assets and stable income, and could only rely on carrying out mission commissions, relying on the wages paid by village positions, and other means to make money.

Now that the financial subsidies have been cut off, these families will face the situation of tightening their belts.

"Are you still worried about their hard life?"

Jingyi opened his eyes wide in surprise.

You are so good, Tsunade. There are many people in Konoha who are having a hard time, why don’t you seem to be worried about them?

Instead, he began to worry about the arrival of the vampire families like Sarutobi and Shimura.

Tsunade rolled her eyes at Shizuka:

"I'm not worried about Sarutobi Shimura, but the subsequent impact. Just think about it, without the old man's financial support, these families will face the situation of working hard to make money. Without sufficient family industry support, they will have to rob for income."

"If they start snatching, other ninjas in Konoha will be affected, such as those who are protesting in front of us."

Except for very few exceptions, among ninjas of the same level, family ninjas are often stronger and have better abilities in all aspects than civilian ninjas. Once a large number of family ninjas come out to grab mission commissions, those civilian ninjas who are not very strong but can only rely on mission commissions will be miserable.

High-level missions will certainly not be affected, as there aren't many ninjas who can perform them.

But low- and mid-end mission commissions will be snapped up.

Once it starts to roll up, the price of task commissions may fall.

"That depends on how our Hokage solves it."

Jingyi expressed that he was looking forward to the performance of the Third Hokage.

It's not that there is no way to solve this problem, but just like Jingyi's previous suggestion, there are solutions, but they are rather tricky.

Either take on more task commissions and hold on to the price of the task commissions, and do not let the remuneration drop due to the rolls.

Either the Hokage office building will issue subsidies.

No matter what choice is made, it will be enough to give the Third Hokage a headache.

Whether the Ministry of Finance can afford to issue such a large amount of subsidies is a question.

To seize more mission commissions means to snatch meat from other villages, which others will definitely not be happy about, and it may even trigger a new round of war.

Hahaha, this is becoming more and more interesting.

Hokage?

Not even a dog!!

Not only is it exhausting, but it's also totally thankless.

Thinking of those people who aspired to become Hokage, Jingyi couldn't help but laugh.

"If it were you, how would you handle this situation?"

Tsunade suddenly asked.

He calmed down and opened his mouth, then he came to his senses.

This woman is not a good person.

"I don't know, and I'm not interested!!"

Stop digging holes for me!!

"........"

Tsunade smiled awkwardly and said, "I was just asking casually, why are you reacting so strongly?"

As to whether it was just a casual question, only Tsunade herself knew.

Because she thinks more and further than Jingyi.

For example, if the reputation of the Third Hokage is damaged too badly and the opposition in the village is too loud, the Third Hokage might be kicked down. No, he might give up his position voluntarily. At that time, Tsunade would have no room to retreat.

Because she is the candidate for Hokage of the village.

Once this happens, all the affairs of the village will fall on her shoulders.

This was not what Tsunade wanted.

Hokage?

Not even a dog!

So she asked tentatively, and Jingyi's reaction was greater than she expected.

Tsunade and Shizuichi were watching the show, and the Hokage's office was filled with an oppressive atmosphere.

Utane Koharu had forgotten how many times she had stood up and looked out the window.

Seeing the streets outside the Hokage's office building crowded with people, Utane Koharu said worriedly, "Huruzen, are you really not going to come out and explain?"

"Hu~~~~" The Third Hokage smoked calmly. Although he seemed calm, the worry between his brows could not be dispelled at all:

"What's the point of explaining? Once our goal is achieved, we will directly revoke the announcement, rotate the ninjas at the border in advance, and issue some subsidies later. I believe that everything will be over."

"After a while, everyone will understand my good intentions."

Explanation?

Any explanation is unnecessary at this time unless the announcement is revoked immediately.

But can the Third Hokage retreat?

No!

At least not now!

At least we have to wait for the money to be sent over from Daming Prefecture.
