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

Chapter 61 The first thing they do after getting rich is forget their roots, don't you think, Daming?

The most profitable, high-profit industries with low technical barriers and the ability to quickly generate revenue have always been closely related to clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

To this end, Makoto Uchiha even sent ninjas to conduct an on-site investigation.

"Kazuma, let's go salt trading together."

After a moment's thought, Uchiha Makoto decided to follow the common practice of transmigrators.

Kazuma: "???"

"Salt isn't very expensive, is it?"

"Now even the poorest families can afford salt."

Kazuma had no idea why Uchiha Makoto suddenly wanted to start a salt business.

But life experience told him...

Salt prices have been very low in the ninja world in the last year or two.

Even if Akatsuki were to get involved in the salt business, they probably wouldn't make much money.

"Nonsense, with smuggled salt dealers everywhere, how could the salt not be cheap?"

Salt is a necessity of daily life.

Throughout history, the salt trade has been a government monopoly; as a result, salt trading was an extremely profitable business in ancient times.

This is also an important source of government revenue.

However, this is the ninja world.

They have their own unique national circumstances.

Makoto Uchiha has already figured out the situation in the salt market.

Because the social hierarchy in the bizarre Naruto world is so rigid, with several generations, or even more than ten generations, passing down a noble family name, they are practically Celestial Dragons in the truest sense.

The Warring States period was chaotic for so many years that the daimyo of each state had long since lost control over their territories.

The daimyo and nobles are merely maintaining the same system to leech off the entire ninja world for their own benefit.

Logically speaking, this rotten ninja world should have been overthrown long ago, but this world has ninjas. Rebellions organized by ordinary people are wiped out by ninjas like mowing grass.

The ninjas were so absurd that they always acted as a protector of the nobles, resulting in the ninja world's order remaining unchanged for thousands of years.

For all these reasons, nobles, both large and small, have long occupied various places, gradually eroding the power of the government.

So many years have passed

The official salt administration system had long been defunct.

The nobles, both high and low, once openly sold smuggled salt, and various yakuza organizations acted as fronts in this business, which led to a very serious smuggling situation in the Land of Fire.

In recent years, the large-scale war between ninja clans has greatly exacerbated the chaos in the country, making the salt market even more chaotic, with various shady dealings and falsified accounts.

Corrupt officials at all levels are trying to siphon off as much as possible.

As the chaos in the ninja world intensified, various controls became disordered, eventually leading to complete loss of control.

Large and small illegal salt dealers began to proliferate, and for a time they were practically everywhere. The increasingly chaotic situation of illegal salt trading led to fierce market competition, and salt prices spontaneously opened up, moving towards a path of low profit and high volume. Since everyone needed to eat salt, there was no fear of not being able to sell it.

Makoto Uchiha doubted his own eyes when he saw the survey results.

This is absolutely outrageous!

It completely violates normal economic laws and is so absurdly abstract that it is comparable to Crude Oil Treasure.

It can only be said that the ninja world has its own unique circumstances!

However, Makoto Uchiha believed that this situation was only temporary, entirely due to the chaotic situation in the ninja world before, which led to a massive war between the ninja clans that eventually became unbearable for the Uchiha and Senju clans, their millennia-old rivals.

Conceivable

The ninja world was in such a terrible state for a period of time that it was completely out of control.

The insects, temporarily unable to control the situation, all retreated into their shells, genuinely fearing that some ninjas might become bloodthirsty. Then...

This gave many people the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. In order to make money, they began to take risks and try to make more money while the big shots were too slow to react. For this reason, they could manipulate the price of salt.

The era of the ninja village has now arrived.

The situation gradually stabilized.

Salt prices are expected to continue rising for some time to come.

However, since salt prices are so low now, even those smugglers can still make a profit. If I were to monopolize the market and continue with the low-profit, high-volume strategy, I would definitely make a fortune. It would simply be another distribution of wealth, transferring the money earned by the smugglers into my own pocket.

so.

Once the salt monopoly is completed and the market is regained, money will definitely be made. As for how much, the more ruthless the person, the more they will earn.

Just thinking about it.

Makoto Uchiha was excited.

Moreover, the technical requirements are not high; it just requires offending quite a few people.

but.

This is the easiest and quickest way for Makoto Uchiha to make money, as far as he can think of right now.

The wages of avarice is death.

"Let's unite with the daimyo and some nobles from the Land of Fire to re-establish a market monopoly. We can discuss the salt price distribution later."

"But what about the other salt merchants, big and small, and the smugglers in the Land of Fire?"

"Then make them disappear!"

Uchiha Makoto said without any politeness.

Now, Akatsuki Village is rich and powerful, an incredibly young military group. It can strike hard against those weak and uncooperative nobles.

I cannot follow the rules like a traditional ninja from the Warring States period.

Traditional ninjas almost never get involved in production or business, consciously confining themselves to the military field. They almost never concern themselves with politics or economics. The Land of Fire pays them for missions, and the ninjas risk their lives to complete them, simply paying them according to the difficulty level of the mission.

Akatsuki Village must accelerate its transformation. First, its mindset and logic need to change. Perhaps the Akatsuki ninja clans cannot understand, but that doesn't matter. They only need to obey orders!

So what if we break with tradition?

The ninja world has always emphasized that ninjas should learn to obey, but ninjas are human too. I can listen to you, but you have to let me live a good life. So as long as Uchiha Makoto provides enough funding, the ninja clan will do anything!

"Should we inform you of your name in advance?"

Kazuma was already used to Makoto Uchiha's way of doing things and did not raise any objections. He just felt that such a big matter should be discussed with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire in advance.

"No need. Let's just use the daimyo's name to take out a bunch of competitors first. Some people might die in the process, but I'm afraid the daimyo is a coward and won't dare to do it at first."

"So let's tie Daiming up and put him in the car first!"

Seiichi Uchiha slammed his fist on the table and made his decision.

The first thing they do after getting rich is forget their roots!

Now I am the shadow of the entire village.

Akatsuki is no longer the empty shell of a ninja village it once was; it now has the full strength to turn against the daimyo.

The last time he split the tulip business 50/50 with him, the person he should be most grateful to was actually Hashirama Senju.

Now that the Akatsuki are doing bad things under the guise of the Fire Country's Daimyo, he's bound to take the blame. But he has no choice but to take the blame; how can you make money without taking the blame?

If Konoha can take the blame for Tulip's misdeeds, why should Da Ming be an exception?

Moreover, the Warring States period lasted for so many years.

The Land of Fire's economy has never been very good. As long as they can make a lot of money, the daimyo will probably just complain a bit. It's not a bad thing to make him take the blame!

It seems the daimyo of the Land of Fire has long wanted to reunify and monopolize the salt market for the sake of tax revenue, but he simply lacks the power to do so. In fact, I've helped him out this time.

Akatsuki Village has always been eager to help the Daimyo solve their problems!
