From ninja to daimyo

Chapter 20 Shocked!It was hidden in the blacksmith shop. . . .

Dada and his team found a blacksmith's shop in a border town after entering Tango Country. Due to the large area, they thought it was a famous master at first, and the ninjas in the team planned to replenish their ninja shop here However, I was told that only semi-finished products are produced here.

There are no knives and swords, only iron embryos for making swords, and there is no kunai, only unprocessed iron bars.

The area is more than twice as large as the average blacksmith shop, but only this kind of semi-finished products are produced in it, which disappointed the ninja masters.

But this aroused Dada's interest. He was curious about everything he saw, so he naturally stepped forward to question him, and finally found a treasure.

It turned out that this blacksmith shop belonged to a famous swordsmith before, and the swordsmith left many masterpieces, which can be regarded as a success, but after the death of the swordsmith, his son Kitano Zhu was mediocre. After many years of inheritance, no famous sword was born, and gradually the fame left by his father faded, and he became an ordinary blacksmith shop. However, after Kitano Zhu realized that his talents were mediocre, he did not dig into the horns, but took another path.

Kitano found that no matter how good the sword is, even if it is a famous sword (swords are not distinguished), the first half of the production is almost the same, and the iron needs to be smelted and forged into a sword embryo of similar shape, and even the best swordsmith , Whether you can make a good sword also has an element of luck. After working hard to make an excellent sword embryo, there is a high probability that the subsequent steps will be scrapped.

Founding a business opportunity, Kitano Zhu began to stop casting swords and instead made sword embryos, which were then used by other swordsmiths.

After all, my father is a famous artist, and the Kitano family still has their own background in basic craftsmanship. The sword embryos they make are better than others, and the swordsmiths are also willing to liberate themselves from the heavy primary iron forging work , Focus on doing more compelling things, after all, the sword embryos I hit may not be better than those of the Kitano family.

Since then, the Beiye Blacksmith Shop has never produced a finished sword, and its reputation has never been well-known. However, semi-finished products such as sword embryos and iron bars are sold in the surrounding areas, earning a lot of money.

Kitano Zhu also found that [-]% of the process of making sword embryos was physical work, so he hired many young people to do physical work. A hydraulic stamping device, the output and quality are greatly improved.

Kitano Zhu didn't have much desire to communicate in the face of Dada's interrogation. Dada simply revealed his identity, saying that he was from Yunyin Village and wanted to reach a long-term cooperation.

Although Dada's age is doubtful, after all, a large group of people, adult ninjas such as Tudai also acquiesced in Dada's behavior, and so many adult ninjas are endorsing Dada (Ye Yueqi is because of his looks old, also considered to be an adult ninja), Kitano Zhu finally believed Dada's rhetoric.

These days, the ninja villages are all uncles. The five ninja villages may not be able to compare with the daimyo in terms of soft power, but they are much more ruthless than the daimyo in terms of hard power and methods. If there is an opportunity to reach a long-term cooperation with the five ninja villages, Kitano will naturally take heart. This is why he is willing to communicate with Dada.

Dada expressed that he wanted to know more about the situation of the blacksmith shop, so Kitano Zhu took a careful observation and expressed his satisfaction.

"This is the prototype of a factory," Dada said very well.

At present, the main production mode in the ninja world is still transitioned from the Warring States Period. It is basically a workshop, with a family or village as a unit, and everyone produces something together.

The difference between a factory and a workshop lies in three points.

1: Workshops generally aim at producing final products, while factories can choose intermediate products.

2: The factory has a high degree of division of labor, no one will participate in the complete production process, and only a small amount of technical guidance will do the overall control.

3: The factory does not rely on one or some people. When people come, they will be trained. After the training, they will be able to join the factory. There is a standardized process.

And Dada knew that this smithy was far from reaching its limit.

If the output increases, will the bargaining power of iron and coal increase, and will technology upgrade be easier?

If the price of raw materials drops, the price of products can also drop, and the quality will be better, which will fundamentally destroy the desire and motivation of workshop-level blacksmiths to forge sword embryos by themselves.

When everyone stopped casting sword embryos by themselves, the technology, production tools, and willingness to produce in those workshops would gradually be lost.

Then other blacksmith shops will greatly increase their dependence on the factory, and then the factory is equivalent to controlling the entire industrial chain by adjusting its own price?

At the extreme point, if I cut off the supply chain, whoever will not be able to shoot the sword, and the quality of the forced sword will be worse than other companies, the cost will be higher than other companies, and they will not even be able to survive.

Of course, this must be done on a large scale.

In the ninja world, the creation of knives, swords, and ninja tools is the real core industry. . . .But now, a through train is in front of Dada.

It’s not that Dada remembered what a factory is when he saw this blacksmith shop, but it’s the first time since he was born that Dada walked out of the village and saw the ninja world with his own eyes, so he knew what to do and what he could do .

If it is really possible to control the ninja tool industry in the ninja world, no, even if it only controls the ninja tool industry in a few neighboring countries, it is unthinkable.

Just think about it and fly
Dada took a deep breath,
Dada and Kitano Zhu expressed that you can rest assured that Yunyin will have a big business with him.

Kitano Zhu only thought that there was a big order, and never thought that there would be a thorough and in-depth cooperation in the future.

After returning to the hotel, Dada called Yeyueqi and Toyo to his room, asked Meizi to guard outside, and finally asked Toyo to release the sound-proof enchantment ninjutsu, as a regular companion to Lei Ying to participate in confidential work. Toshiro has indeed mastered this simple enchantment.

"It's so mysterious, what's going on?" Ye Yueqi asked strangely.

Tudai was also very curious. He didn't see anything tricky in the blacksmith shop during the day, but he knew that Dada must have found something important.

"What I said next is very important, and it is related to a major issue."

Ye Yueqi said that I would just smile and see what you can say, and Tudai has already taken out a pen and paper after listening to it, and is ready to record it. He has an experience once and knows that Dada's big plan is really going to be very big. Big, if not recorded at any time, there will be omissions.

"Did you find the blacksmith shop today?"

Following Dada's explanation, the expressions of Ye Yueqi and Toshio gradually changed from "So it is", to "Can it still be like this?", and finally became "Shocked! There is actually a subversive ninja hidden in the blacksmith shop." the power of!"

Dada also sorted out his own ideas in the explanation. At the time point of the main plot, that is, 30 years later, the ninja production model shown in the story still stays at the level of the workshop, but after leaving the ninja circle, relying on some Computers, movies, and TVs can be judged backwards, and factories should have appeared, which may be caused by the disconnection between ninjas and general social production.

But all in all, the chances are great.

I am only six years old, and the situation is rather special. I don't have so much time and energy to devote myself to it. It is the right answer to use the knowledge of the previous life in the rear and provide plans and suggestions from a high-level perspective (talking about it). I can't be young. Just go to the factory and be the head of the factory. Did you get the wrong script? This is the ninja world. . .

Therefore, this plan must be completed with the help of the collective. I am not talented, the son of Thunder Shadow, and the young ancestor of the Yeyue clan.

Of course, Dada also has selfish intentions, so this time Ye Yueqi and Toyo were called instead of Kawanishi Kyohei and Anzhaihu. If you really want to do it, it will be easier to hang it under the name of the Yeyue clan than to hang it in Yunyin Village.
