Chapter 417 Damn it

Collecting tolls has been a thing throughout the ages and countless countries have relied on this to make a fortune.

Do you know about Silk Road?

This road has made many countries richer. Don’t forget how these countries got started.

Of course, that doesn't mean you can become rich just by collecting tolls.

It's just that collecting tolls allowed them to earn their first pot of gold.

But now, Yahiko needs this first pot of gold very much.

Yahiko has a plan.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, it’s not some treacherous plan or some shady plan.

To put it bluntly, Yahiko's idea is simple, he wants to be a second-tier dealer.

Second-hand dealers sound very hateful, and in fact, the things they do are indeed hateful, but one thing is true: many times it is impossible to live without second-hand dealers.

Some transactions between Konoha and other villages, such as Sunagakure, cannot be known to other villages.

At this time, the second-hand dealer is very important.

Yes, Tang Zhiguo is this second-rate dealer.

Theoretically speaking, the geographical location of Yuno Country is not good, because it faces the desert of Sunagakure Village to the west.

In the past, they worked as second-rate dealers transporting some supplies from Konoha to Sunagakure Village. Although they could make a lot of money by changing hands, they also had to pay for their own costs.

Later, the canal was opened, and it was better.

From Yunokuni to Sunagakure Village, take water transport directly. Not to mention the speed is much faster, and the cost is reduced by an incredible amount.

Can the Country of Rain not hate this scene?

But there is no way, this second-rate dealer is serving two big bosses.

Then they can only endure it.

After enduring it for a long time, Yahiko decided that he couldn't bear it anymore.

He stood up and said that Tang Country has gone too far in recent years and has collected too many tolls. Why not pass through our territory? Although it has been raining in our country, don’t we all have large warehouses now?

We don't charge tolls, we just ask the two big guys to build a few railways in our territory that are not afraid of water.

This also makes it convenient for us to serve the two big guys, right?

Sunagakure Village thought it made sense, so they thought about it and asked Yuno Kuni to express that they didn't want to pay the toll here. What do you think?

Of course, Tang Zhiguo couldn't agree.

Although they serve the two big guys. But you are the only one among the two bosses to nod, so why should I be cowardly?

Yes, Yunokuni felt that even Konoha didn't agree. How long can the Sunagakure Village dance?

Oh, Youya has indeed received relevant information.

But Youya just wanted to laugh at this suggestion.

A white wolf with empty gloves?

Tangzhiguo does charge a lot of tolls, but why don't you take a look at how many railways they have in the country?

Of course, it is undeniable that these guys did steal a lot of money from tolls to fill their own coffers, but if you really want to say it, they are not too stupid, and they still kept at least 80% of the money.

But with so much money, there are not many railways in Tang Country. Is it because they don't want to build them?

Of course that can't be the case.

You Xi feels that the little guy Yahiko has really learned his skills during his years in Konoha.

At least this thing about reaching out and emptying your hands to see the wolf without red face and breathlessness...

Most people really can't do anything so confidently.

Yua didn't agree to Yahiko's conditions, which made Yahiko a little disappointed but not much.

He himself had already settled the matter and asked for a railway instead of tolls. Even if he added money himself, the railway would still be profitable.

In other words, as long as the railway is built throughout the Kingdom of Rain, the development of the Kingdom of Rain will be on the fast track.

Although there has been good development now, after all, Yahiko feels that their country of rain should be able to find other ways to forward it.

Unfortunately, the first step was stillborn right here in Youya.

But Yahiko didn't give up. If Yuya couldn't do it here, he would go to Granny Chiyo.

To be honest, Granny Chiyo was very upset after knowing that Youya didn't keep up. Why didn't Youya agree to such a good condition? Is there a hole in it?

Later, Yahiko said that he would subsidize the money, and Chiyo's mother-in-law calculated an account and stopped charging tolls, and still subsidized the money, just for a railway...

She really couldn't hold back such a good condition and agreed.

and……

One thing to say is that Tang Country has indeed gone too far in recent years.

After collecting so many tolls, the living standards of the people are better than those in Sunagakure Village. Why? !

Chiyo's mother-in-law was unhappy, so she asked Luo Sha to attack in person. This time, the country of Tang must bleed.

This is the full picture of this incident.

It seems that Youya can participate in it.

But Yuya thought about it and finally decided that he could not shamelessly imitate Sunagakure Village and directly attack other people's villages. They in Konoha mainly focused on negotiation and persuasion.

Yahiko felt that Yuya, the third Hokage, should already be thinking about the successor.

So in fact, he also had plans to drag Youya into the water.

The method is indeed a bit... not very authentic.

But all the facts are used.

If Yu Zhiguo had been serious about playing the role of younger brother in the past few years, Granny Chiyo might not have been so eager to take action.

Youya would not just hesitate, but would have already provided assistance.

Of course, it's too late to say this now.

Now that something has happened, we must find a way to solve it.

Yuya sighed, Yahiko actually had another purpose in taking action this time.

That is, no matter what Yuya chooses, he can use this to spy on Yuya's style of doing things and continue the next move.

As expected, Yuya said that the Land of Hot Springs is an ally of Konoha Village, and the Sand Village should not go too far.

After expressing his position, Yuya said that this matter should be discussed at the negotiation table, and don't really fight.

The Daimyo of the Land of Hot Springs is naturally very willing.

But Luosha asked for half of the tolls for so many years!

Yuya rolled his eyes and asked you to speak casually.

Forget it, Yuya was too lazy to care about the Sand Village and the Land of Hot Springs. Since the two sides can sit down and talk, they should not fight.

There is really a possibility...

That is to sell arms to both sides, which I am familiar with.

Well, although the Sand Village should not buy too much now.

And Yahiko, after discovering that Yuya was indeed not ready to leave, he decisively chose the next plan:

He went directly to the door.

Yes, the current leader of the Rain Country came directly to Konoha and expressed his desire to discuss with Yuya about building a new water plant in the Rain Country to supply all the people of the Rain Country.

Yuya took a deep breath.

Or, just for some tolls and a railway, he wanted to instigate a fight between the Sand Village and the Hot Spring Country.

Or...

Just to drag Konoha into the water, stand on the side of the Rain Country, and directly sell the country's water capacity...

It's really fucking cruel.
