Chapter 150 An outrageous crisis

It is said that a daughter is her father's little cotton-padded jacket. You Ya really likes little cotton-padded jackets, and sometimes she will be envious when she sees other people's little cotton-padded jackets.

Tsunade is naturally happy that Yuya is pregnant this time.

If you can give birth to a daughter, Youya will not hesitate to give her the best love.

Of course, the final result will have to wait until next year.

As the saying goes, once born, twice familiar, although this sentence is not very appropriate, but the meaning is this.

Tsunade has experienced pregnancy this time, and she is not as confused as the first time.

It was Yuya's gesture of burning incense and worshiping Buddha to pray that her baby would be a daughter that made Tsunade a little confused.

In any case, although there is no extreme preference for boys over girls in the ninja world, the idea that only by raising children can you live a long life has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

People like Yu Ya even go to Senju Hashirama's memorial tablet and recite a few words when they have nothing to do (because Senju Hashirama has the skill of a Senju Buddha statue. Although it is an immortal skill, it can be regarded as a Buddha even if it is rounded off, and you will not suffer any loss when worshiping) The situation of hoping to have a daughter made Tsunade confused and dumbfounded at the same time.

However, Yu Ji is now over a year old, so it would be nice to give him a younger sister.

Although Yuya's operation was a bit outrageous, Konoha's affairs were not delayed. Tsunade also went to and from get off work normally every day. Compared with her first pregnancy, the impact this time had was indeed almost non-existent.

In July of the 33rd year of Konoha, Mito Kadeni, who took office as the general manager of the Country of Uzumaki, received news that the Yiying Factory in the Country of Uzumaki was fully prepared, and Yuya could send people to work in the Country of Uzumaki.

Youya sighed helplessly. If possible, he really didn't want to send anyone to the Kingdom of Whirlpool.

Because Konoha itself is so short of people that it wants to cut them in half by one person, the people sent to the country of whirlpool must be at least 500 people in size.

But it won’t work if you don’t send someone there. If you don’t have the Whirlpool Kingdom in your hands, Youya won’t be able to sleep well at night.

(It can also be seen from the original work that the Kirigakure Village can later reach the mainland of the Fire Country, which is indeed outrageous.)

Whatever, just go.

Yuya spent three days carefully considering and selected more than a hundred high-ranking chuunin who were from Konoha civilians without any background to serve in the Country of Whirlpool.

The remaining more than 300 chunin who work under them to manage the Kingdom of Whirlpool are members of the major families.

Whether Yuya wants to admit it or not, these ninja families have the largest number of ninjas in Konoha now.

He still needs to rely more on these families.

Konoha's 33rd year passed in this day.

There is peace in Konoha, the people live and work in peace and contentment, almost everyone has a surplus of food at home, and life can be described as relaxed and happy.

There was laughter and laughter everywhere in Konoha, and the occasional screams came from the haunted house in the amusement park in the Hyuga tribe.

Against this background, three of Konoha's four urban districts have already ushered in the completion of transformation.

Yuya is very happy. The entire Konoha is moving towards prosperity step by step according to his plan. Nothing makes Yuya happier than this.

And it was against this background that Nara Shika also came up with a plan for the reconstruction of Konoha North City in September 33rd year of Konoha.

Youya looked at it and found no problems, so he approved it.

This was a very common operation, and no one cared about this plan, so it was carried out.

The three urban areas in the southeast and west were transformed in this way. This is not a case, it is a fact!

So no one felt wrong.

However, in the month of September, Konoha 33, several major events happened one after another!

A group of military bandits appeared in Yanyin Village.

To put it simply, the transactions between Iwagakure and Konoha earn nearly three to four billion taels every year even from the official trade alone. This is only the official trade. Although the big businessmen in private are a There can't be so many great merchants, but there are a lot of great merchants from Konoha and Iwagakure combined.

The amount of money is so huge, and Konoha has always been quick to give money. Basically, a deposit of one billion is given at the beginning of the year. In the middle of the year, the goods will be discounted one by one, and the money and cash will be paid in one lump sum. Some people are greedy for profit. I just used my brain.

A group of officials and merchants in Iwagakure Village were killed. This group of people was also very interesting. They actually pretended to be officials and merchants and communicated with people in Konoha. They made nearly five billion taels of food between them!

Of course, the bulk of this figure must be bulk commodities, and there are so many commodities only after discounts.

But if we really want to talk about it, these are actually hard currencies.

In Yanyin Village, most of the hard currency is food crops or dried fruits. These are the things that you don't have to worry about selling, and you can eat them yourself even if they don't sell them.

The products of Konoha Village such as refrigerators, TVs, gramophones, cameras, walkmans, etc. are even better. Konoha's output of such things is not large, and the priority supply must be given to the inner city of Konoha, with only a small amount flowing out.

And most of these products only come from official and commercial transactions with other big countries.

But because of this, the prices of these goods are very high.

They would definitely not dare to sell it in Iwagakure Village, but if they took it to Yunyin Village or Sand Hidden Village and sold it to these two families, or simply sold it to the daimyo of the Two Kingdoms of Wind and Thunder, wouldn't they be able to make a lot of money? !

Although this group of people killed the officials and merchants of Iwagakure Village and replaced them, they did not kill the officials and merchants of Konoha.

A few years ago, Yuya wanted to try the power of the chakra cannon but couldn't find an excuse. It happened that the country of grass was at gunpoint (the leader of the country of grass was hired by Iwagakure to attack the Konoha team and killed some Konoha ninjas, including Hinata's ninjas), Yuya was overjoyed, and took the Country of Grass as a model, and pulled out the cannon to test its power. The Grass Ninja Village in the Country of Grass has become overgrown with weeds and is no longer what it used to be. There are traces of a village there.

Although Yuya's original intention was to test the power of the cannon, he certainly couldn't have said that. The high-sounding reason was that the thieves deceived me, and there was no one in Konoha? How dare you kill my Konoha office ninja? !

Don't say it, this reason is indeed good. At least people from other countries on the road think there is nothing wrong with it. They just think that the third generation of Hokage in Konoha is good. Just because a few ninjas actually sent troops to attack a ninja village. He is really a good Hokage who cares for his subordinates.

This time, these Iwagakure rebellious ninjas did not dare to take action against Konoha's officials and merchants. Perhaps they were also afraid of Yuya's excuse to start a war with them.

It can only be said that it is a mistake.

Things in Yanyin Village suddenly became a big deal.

That's why. Konoha and Iwagakure no longer have any contact with each other.

If something happened to Iwagakure Village alone, Konoha wouldn't have anything to be nervous about.

But what everyone didn't expect was.

It was like they had made an appointment with each other, jumping out one after another!

There are differences within the Sandblast clan in Sunagakure Village, with the Reflection Faction, the Endurance Faction, and the Neutral Faction appearing.

To put it simply, some people from the Sandblast clan thought that the Third Kazekage acted unfairly and targeted them, the Sandblast clan. Of course, this is a fact. Previously, the Third Kazekage also used the opportunity to attack the Land of Rain to kill some Sandblast clan members. The jounin.

No matter which country, jounin is a very precious resource.

It is the existence that can truly squeeze into the decision-making level of a country.

As a result, the Third Kazekage took advantage of an opportunity to trap dozens of jounin from the Sandblast clan.

The Sandblast clan is already very unhappy.

It's just that some people think that the Third Kazekage is unfair and unworthy of being the Kazekage. Some people think that the Third Kazekage is actually okay. After all, the canal that allows the people of Sunagakure Village to no longer have to worry about draft problems has been opened. That's all. Well, the prestige of the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure Village in Sunagakure Village can be said to be impregnable.

Some people from the Sandblast clan think that the specifics of the Third Kazekage will depend on his next actions.

Then the radical faction of the Sandblast clan directly launched a surprise attack on the Third Kazekage.

They want to force the other two factions of the Sandblast clan to come over. As long as the rebellion continues, these people will have no choice but to rebel if they don't want to.

And these people's plans did succeed.

For a while, Sunagakure Village was in chaos as to who was loyal to the village, who was disobedient to the control of the Third Kazekage, and who was trying to take advantage of the chaos.

If only Iwagakure Village and Sunagakure Village had these problems, even if Konoha was affected, it would not be too big.

The trade route of Iwagakure Village has been affected, so we can just stay away for the time being.

You'll know what's going on when you see that this trade route is blocked and Iwagakure is in a worse hurry than Konoha.

After all, this is a trade route that can bring billions of dollars in revenue to Yanyin Village.

In the same way, the same is true here in Sunagakure Village.

It is impossible for the Third Kazekage to let the internal problems of his village hinder the transaction with Konoha. Even if he uses thunderous means, he will solve the problem in a very short time.

However, what followed was the outbreak of a complete war in Kirigakure Village.

In this battle, all the elites of Kirigakure Village came out, and the seven Ninja Swordsmen were divided into two groups, killing each other heartily.

Thousands of ninjas died on the battlefield on the first day.

There is not much to say in this aspect. Kirigakure Village has already been a powder keg before.

The Third Mizukage and the families in Kirigakure Village had long used the minerals in Kirigakure Village as collateral to exchange weapons and supplies with Konoha.

It has long been the case that the storm is about to come and the buildings are full of flowers. Now it is reasonable to explode.

But in this way, the commercial relations between Konoha and Kirigakure Village were completely cut off.

Well, at least that's the case on the surface. As for the arms trade behind the scenes...

Well, Youya said that I definitely didn’t know about this.

What happened in Kirigakure Village can be said to be expected and reasonable.

The only thing that Yuya didn't expect was that something went wrong in Yunyin Village at this time.

Not knowing what was going on, the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Kumogakure Village went berserk. The Third Raikage led the ninja army of Kumogakure Village to stop them, costing hundreds of lives in exchange for a new seal.

There are many mountains surrounding Yunyin Village. The village of Yunyin Village is located in the hills of the river in the northern part of the Kingdom of Thunder.

As the Eight-Tails made a big fuss, the road was blocked. Even if the Third Raikage reacted quickly and all the ninjas were dispatched, it would take several months to repair the road to allow horses and supplies to pass through.

It's impossible for every ninja to carry out the deal between Kumogakure and Konoha, right? ! It's so tiring.

Therefore, in this month of Konoha's 33rd year, the caravan exchanges between Konoha and the four countries of Feng Lei, Earth and Water completely went out of control. The total loss calculated by one caravan was almost more than 20 billion.

Of course, strictly speaking, this cannot be calculated.

For example, in the deal with Iwagakure Village, the Third Tsuchikage of Onoki in Iwagakure Village has gone crazy and started looking for the whereabouts of the rebel who betrayed Iwagakure Village. After finding it, they had a big fight. These people in Konoha were The supplies that were deceived will definitely be given to the relevant materials and treasures in Yanyin Village at a discount when the time comes and they can be taken back.

In this way, these caravans will only suffer losses before the success of Yanyin Village's crusade against these thieves.

In the same way, after the trade routes between Konoha and Sunagakure Villages and Konoha and Kumogakure Villages were reopened, the materials currently piled up in their hands can naturally be sold for a sum of money, and the losses can be made up for. .

As for the relationship between Konoha and Kirigakure...

Well, this transaction was basically in vain, but Youya didn't care. I already make enough money selling weapons.

And when the final winner appears, we can harvest another wave according to the previous agreement.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the more than 20 billion taels are just losses on the books during this period. As long as these villages solve their internal problems in a few months, all these losses will naturally be made up for.

Originally, even if all these foreign trade routes had problems, Konoha wouldn't care about it, it would have to deal with it how it should.

But it should never happen at this point in time.

These caravans basically took loans from banks to carry out the calculation of the goods.

The bank also knows that transactions between Konoha and these villages can make money.

Therefore, the review of loans to non-official businessmen is not very careful.

Basically, anyone who was brave enough to borrow more than a million taels to buy a few gramophones and take them to Sunagakure Village could sell them.

After all, who among the famous names in the Kingdom of Wind doesn’t know that he likes to enjoy things the most.

The money borrowed by these individual merchants from banks has now become commodities, and they cannot be repaid until they are sold.

The data in this area is more than 20 billion taels in cash.

Including what the government-commercial banks have released, there are more than 40 billion taels.

And Yuya, who was eager to die, approved the reconstruction plan of Nara Shikaya's northern city.

The first phase of the renovation plan for an entire urban area will require an investment of 10 billion taels, and this amount of money is required every month. After all, if an urban area wants to be renovated quickly, it will definitely not be short of money.

Then the problem comes...

There was money in July in the year 33 of Konoha, and there was money in August too...

You can even get one if you squeeze in September.

But what about October?

When Youya put these various situations together, he finally came to a conclusion.

Konoha is not without money, but the bank loans are too casual. At least more than 40 billion taels of money were supposed to be recovered in August. It is estimated that they will not be recovered by the end of this year.

And the cash in the bank...

It is no longer enough to last until the end of the year.

What to do?

Yuya's first reaction was to be like America in his past life memory...

Print money.

But if you think about it carefully, this not only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, it can also easily collapse the currency system. The chain reaction caused by currency devaluation is unacceptable to Youya.

Konoha is now the richest and most powerful village in the ninja world, how can it let its currency devalue?

After carefully understanding the inside story, Youya could only grit his teeth and curse secretly at his bad luck.

Wind, thunder, earth, and water, problems occurred in four countries in the same month, cutting off trade routes. Who can be blamed? !

This probability is simply more outrageous than winning a lottery ticket!

After all, you can still operate behind the scenes when buying lottery tickets, but the reality in this world is that it is impossible for someone to manipulate it secretly.

Even if you can control one country, you cannot control the other four major countries in the entire world.

If such an extremely unlikely event happened to me, what else is there to say?

All I can say is that reality is really fucked up.

Yuya returned to his usual state of eating and drinking in the Hokage's office, because if things were not handled well this time, big trouble would really happen.

Although Youya knew that he would definitely handle it well.

It really doesn't work...

Just use the one hundred tons of gold that Senju Tobirama kept at the bottom of the Konoha Bank box.

One gram of gold is worth ten thousand taels, and one hundred tons is worth one trillion taels. If it doesn't work, just use the gold to make money.

But this is a last resort.

It is easy to sell gold but difficult to recover it.

The people of Konoha are not short of money. If they could get gold from Youya, they wouldn't mind passing it on as a family heirloom.

This is impossible for Youya to accept.

After collecting a series of big data in the Hokage's office, Yuya determined that Konoha didn't have any money, it was because the banks had loaned out all the money, and it wasn't that it couldn't be recovered. It was just that other trade routes had problems at the same time, so more money should be given. A few months.

The money lent out was used to buy goods and flowed to the factories and the hands of the Konoha villagers.

What was exchanged were the goods in the hands of those merchants.

In other words, the villagers of Konoha have money.

The factories in Konoha also have money on their books.

But here comes the problem.

How do you get this money into the bank so that the bank can continue to play without causing trouble?

You Ya thought for a long time and made a decision by himself:

One-year Konoha bonds were sold during the half-month period from the beginning of August to August 15th. The bond interest rate was 5%, and the total amount was 50 billion.

If the matter is urgent, this is the only way...

Youya sighed helplessly, what kind of luck did he have? How can we actually encounter problems when all major countries have problems at the same time?

Could it be more outrageous? !
