Hokage: Unable to persuade Madara, I chose to build my own ninja village.

Chapter 26: The money owed to the powerful will be returned in full, while the money owed to the insects will be split 50/50! (Please read on, vote, and add to your favorites!)

Da Ming hesitated, sitting there indecisive.

Should we get involved in this deal or not?

Because of my familiarity with those insects, I know they will turn into devils when faced with profit, becoming so greedy that they lose their minds!

As is customary for those in positions of power, Daimyo really hates this feeling of losing control, and this game about tulip bubbles is bound to get out of control and get out of his control, ultimately leaving a complete mess.

However, it is undeniable that...

As the initiator and mastermind of this game, the daimyo will reap a huge profit, making a fortune. Even the daimyo are extremely envious of such wealth.

Kazuma sat silently on the sofa, observing the expression on Daimyo's face. He knew it was time for him to make his move!

I absolutely have to give Daimyo a boost!

How can you hesitate when it comes to making big money!

"Your Highness, please hear me out!"

"The tulip mania is a game of voluntary participation; no one forces people to join!"

"Moreover, everyone who can participate in this game is someone who possesses enormous wealth, yet they are still so greedy. Even if they end up losing everything because of it, it is their just deserts. As Master Cheng once said, when a person's wisdom and wealth are not commensurate, their money will always flow back into the market in various ways."

"Your Highness, you wouldn't want those greedy and foolish people to continue enjoying wealth that doesn't belong to them, would you?"

Kazuma said this with a seductive tone in his voice.

In this ninja world, those who possess immense wealth are not the powerful ninjas, but rather nobles and merchants. However, these people are able to possess such vast wealth not because of their personal talents, but because—of course, I'm referring to the ninja world itself.

Reincarnation is a skill!

As Daiming listened to Kazuma's words, some unpleasant memories flooded his mind.

This really hit a nerve with Daiming.

The people under my command have become increasingly restless over the years.

In his youth, the daimyo was ambitious and wanted to make a name for himself in the Land of Fire, to clean up the bureaucracy and streamline the tax system. However, over the past thousand years, the deeply entrenched nobility had formed a complete bureaucratic system that no single daimyo could shake.

Unless the daimyo is willing to "invite wolves into the house" and let ninjas interfere in the affairs of the Land of Fire—which is absolutely impossible, because he has to guard against nobles, but even more so against ninjas. Nobles are only greedy for money and power, but if ninjas come, they could really take their lives.

The daimyo would never do something so backwards. Even if he did, the nobles would stop him immediately using all sorts of methods. You're not actually good at swimming, are you?

But no matter what.

The young nobles were able to restrain themselves considerably, but now that they are old and lack energy, they gather in groups of two or three, not only refusing to pay taxes but also being dishonest on accounting matters. Their false accounts are sometimes a complete mess, not only fooling their subordinates but also daring to be vague about their own names!

"These bastards!"

"They're all thieves!"

"The taxes collected by the Land of Fire amounted to 300 billion taels for them. You get 200 billion taels, I get 100 billion taels, and you expect me to pretend I don't know and thank you!"

"Do you really think that just because you're nobles or hereditary high-ranking officials, I can't touch you?"

"The money you stole! That's my money!"

"It's mine! My money!!!"

Daimyo screamed inwardly, his face darkening, while Kazuma continued to chatter on, trying to sow discord among the insects.

"Your Highness, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Such wealth is beyond their grasp!"

"We are simply following the will of Heaven."

Thinking of this vast wealth, Daming's heart burned with excitement once again.

The wealth plundered this time wasn't just a few billion taels, it was hundreds of billions, or even trillions.

"That's decided!"

The daimyo, who already harbored resentment towards the insects, finally made up his mind under the temptation of immense wealth!

It's done!

Now or never!

This money should have belonged to him in the first place!

"Your Highness, this is the wisest decision imaginable!"

Kazuma, praising her from the side, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

quickly

After Daimyo agreed to the Tulip Bubble, the two began to discuss the specific plans.

The Tulip Project only requires the daimyo's cooperation, and the remaining difficulties can be almost ignored.

According to Makoto Uchiha's Tulip Bubble Plan, the first step was for a noblewoman to buy tulips, so that the fame of tulips could spread quickly to the aristocratic circle.

after that

That is, manipulating tulip prices.

They send out a large number of actors to create long queues at tulip sales points, creating a market where tulips are in short supply, thereby driving up tulip prices, and then selling them off, driving up prices again, and selling them off repeatedly to make a profit.

This naturally requires a considerable amount of capital to drive up prices, which Akatsuki Village might not be able to afford. However, the Daimyo is there to back it up, so in the end, the wealthy gentry's money will be returned in full!

The most crucial contract transaction had already proceeded smoothly at this point.

As for other issues...

Human greed will help them solve all their difficulties.

"Good! Good! Good!"

The daimyo praised it three times in a row. Uchiha Makoto's plan was so intricately linked that it could be said to have shrewdly exploited the dark side of human nature. Even he, if he harbored greed, would have inevitably participated in this money game of tulips and suffered heavy losses in the end.

"I'm glad Your Highness is satisfied."

All plans have been discussed.

The rest.

It's a matter of profit distribution!

This matter must be discussed beforehand.

Even close brothers keep clear accounts, let alone someone like Daming, who is a vermin.

Uchiha Makoto really wants a 30/70 split.

right!

Naturally, Akatsuki would take 70% and the Daimyo would take 30%.

Even just 10% is a huge sum of money!

But that's not realistic.

The situation is dire. Akatsuki is still too weak. It not only needs the cooperation of the Daimyo, but also his financial support. In the future, it will need to continue cooperating with the Daimyo and only give him three-tenths of the credit. Uchiha Sei can only dream about such a thing.

Of course, it's impossible for a famous person to agree to pay and contribute their time and effort while using their name to promote themselves and only take three-tenths of the land.

Whom do you dislike?

I'll take 7 out of 30!

but

Makoto Uchiha also has his bottom line.

I orchestrated the Tulip Project from the very beginning, and I was the one who meticulously managed it from start to finish. You, Da Ming, can simply sit back and collect a large sum of money; it's impossible for you to only take three!

It has to be at least 50/50!
