Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Ninety percent of the land in the Land of Fields is farmland. If the people of the Land of Fire could obtain a large amount of low-priced grain from the Land of Fields, they would surely benefit immensely.

Hiruko couldn't think of a way to improve Konoha's reputation in the short term, but his thoughts weren't entirely blank; he continued to ponder...

Good methods often come with huge risks.

When devising strategies, one should not be overly concerned with the thoughts of the daimyo.

Maintaining market guidance for a period of time is not entirely unfeasible.

During this period, Konoha's commercial development still needs to be accelerated.

However, in doing so, Konoha would have to seek the well-being of the people of the Land of Fire from other perspectives.

The people of the Land of Fire are simple and honest. If you sincerely care about them, they may not express it, but they will remember your kindness.

The influx of fruit into the Land of Fire's market caused prices to drop significantly, greatly alleviating the financial burden on the Land of Fire's residents.

It would be perfectly acceptable to allow ordinary people to enjoy affordable fruit, and even to use fruit as a meal in certain situations.

However, in the world of Naruto, people are not Indians and cannot eat bananas as a staple food; rice is their favorite.

However, Konoha will inevitably encounter many obstacles in promoting such matters.

After all, the Land of Fields is different from the Land of Grass. Its land is fertile, and people have been aware of its richness since ancient times, which has led to countless wars.

The Land of Fields has been coveted by many countries, and even today, four factions within its borders continue to fight each other.

Foreign countries' attitudes toward the Land of Fields are also quite subtle.

Other countries may seem mediocre, but in reality they all possess formidable military strength. Regardless of the level of their military power, they at least have capable personnel and are more financially secure.

In contrast, the country of fields lacks its own core strength.

According to the original work, Orochimaru established his first base in the Land of Rice Fields only after his defection. This alone is enough to show the attitude of many countries towards the Land of Rice Fields.

The difficulty lies not only in resolving the internal conflicts and disputes within the country of Wada, but also in keeping other external forces silent.

Because the Land of Fields borders many countries, this will inevitably lead to a difficult struggle.

Moreover, Hiruko can now directly unite the four great ninja villages in action; at his command, the diplomats of the four great ninja villages will respond enthusiastically.

If Beiliuhu said he was short one player and invited them to play cards, they might not come. But if he said he had a big project and wanted to discuss it with his brothers, people from the other villages would definitely come immediately.

After all, every village is short of money. When they get envious, whether they can afford to eat it is another matter, but everyone will come to find out first.

After a period of rest and recuperation, the situation has improved.

All of the businesses that Biruho ​​was involved in were large-scale, making all parties involved extremely wealthy.

Generally speaking, every business idea proposed by Hiruko would make people regret why they chose to become ninjas in the first place.

Soon, everyone took their places and began to study Hiruko's new ideas in the Gokage Conference Building that Hiruko had built there.

The Mizukage diplomat who came to Konoha this time was once again Mei Terumi.

Mei Terumi is undoubtedly the busiest diplomat. She travels back and forth between Konoha and Kirigakure, and on Konoha's side, she also needs to communicate and coordinate with various forces, leaving her physically and mentally exhausted.

However, Mei Terumi seems to have remained in Konoha recently and has not returned to Kirigakure.

"Why hasn't Yagura arrived yet?" Hiruko asked rather rudely.

However, Mei Terumi wasn't angry, after all, she knew that Yagura and Hiruko were getting closer and closer.

They both knew that the other was their greatest enemy, but they also understood that only the other could truly understand them.

This world is always filled with this kind of dark humor.

They each thought their plan was foolproof, but they never expected that the other would see through it.

Mei Terumi shook her head and said, "I haven't seen the Mizukage for a long time. I heard that he has been researching new ninjutsu and has gained some insights. He doesn't want to get involved in outside affairs for the time being."

"As for Konoha, I'll maintain the situation for now."

Of course, these words should not have been spoken by Mei Terumi.

The current balance is already precarious; we haven't forgotten the turmoil from before, so we should be even more careful now.

Previously, every time Yagura met Hiruko, he acted in various comical ways, but that wasn't a joke; it was genuine caution.

Moreover, while researching new ninjutsu is important, as a leader, the most important thing is to lead his village forward, and making money is even more crucial.

However, Mei Terumi will not fare badly in the future. After all, everyone in Kirigakure knows that Mei Terumi has been taken by that old pervert Hiruko, and he even gave her a lot of compensation.

Therefore, Mei Terumi coming to Konoha is not bad for anyone.

As he spoke, Hiruko directly embraced Terumi Mei, who was dressed in black, and gave her a hard squeeze. Terumi Mei immediately let out a shy moan.

To be honest, the two haven't seen each other since the last major battle.

It's not that the winner doesn't give face to the winner; they might even make a public appearance. But they just haven't personally greeted Birukhu, and it always feels like they're avoiding him.

Therefore, Mei Terumi felt that she couldn't find any other reason to come to Konoha this time, since Hiruko wouldn't mind talking to her.

She had no idea what Hiruko was plotting, nor did she dare to bargain.

Yagura was also afraid that the longer they spent together, the more flaws would appear, so he would most likely give up on testing them.

After all, Hiruko was a renowned master of genjutsu, whose genjutsu was so powerful that even Uchiha clan ninjas who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan could not resist it.

Even Obito is now unwilling to appear in front of Hiruko, in case he is really controlled, then he will lose the reputation of the Uchiha Sharingan.

Mei Terumi looked puzzled, but Hiruko laughed. He noticed her worry and changed the subject, saying, "It's best to observe first. This is no joke."

"Maybe Yagura really has an idea and is going to come up with a super big plan. After all, he is a veteran actor and a perfect Jinchūriki."

It's best to observe first.

Before long, after the pleasantries were over, Hiruko would send a summary of his plan to everyone.

These guys naturally didn't have the patience to read through the thick plan, but since Hiruko was always trustworthy in this regard, they only read the first dozen or so pages of the summary today.

"I wonder if any of you would be interested in expanding your business and becoming small-time grain merchants?" Hiruko asked with a smile.

The new plan that Hiruko restarted and meticulously planned, even though it anticipated that war might break out in the Yangtze River basin in the future, deliberately reserved a fairly ample period of time.

Hiruko, who was always very patient, was now leisurely enjoying the chrysanthemum tea presented by Terumi Mei.

As for the food plan that has been drafted and is currently being implemented, its effect on increasing revenue in Konoha has been mediocre, especially compared with the several plans proposed by Mu Ying before his seclusion, the gap is even more obvious.

However, the production process of this plan is safe and reliable, and it is truly beneficial to the people of the Land of Fire, and even to the common people of the entire ninja world.

Hiruko plans to use scientific methods to carry out planting operations on the most fertile land in the Land of Fields, and with the help of relevant advanced technologies, increase the total grain output of the Land of Fields by three to five times, which is not an impossible task.

It should be noted that the current grain production of the Land of Rice Fields is sufficient to supply a quarter of the population of the ninja world.

If production were to increase three to five times, the Land of Rice alone might be able to meet the food needs of all the common people in the entire ninja world, which would undoubtedly be a shocking event.

From a long-term development perspective, only when the Engel coefficient decreases will the people of the Land of Fire be more willing to increase their consumption of industrial products.

People all over the world need to drive economic development through consumption.

This plan also aims to boost consumption levels across the entire ninja world.

As for the Land of Fire, there is no need to worry about the difficulty of colluding between grain merchants and the industrialists who have vested interests.

For the next decade or so, there was no war.

Chapter 154 Reform! Money! Power!

In the current development landscape, the industrial sector is undoubtedly about to enter a golden period of rapid growth, a trend that is already very clear and undeniable.

Like a giant ship poised to set sail, it is about to break through the waves of the times and usher in unprecedented glory.

If we were to objectively point out any shortcomings of the plan, it would be that its development cycle is relatively long.

This is by no means a short-term project that can yield significant results in one or two years, but a protracted battle that requires patience and perseverance and will take time to mature.

It's like a marathon, not a 100-meter sprint; it requires continuous investment and effort.

However, the path of long-term development is precisely the profound lesson that the Great Battle of Millet taught Beiliuhu.

In this great battle, Beiliuhu deeply realized that development must not be rushed, but must have a long-term vision and plan.

Although Hiruko possessed advanced technology and the ability to change the situation, he knew that he could not allow grain production to surge rapidly in the short term.

He was well aware that agricultural development has its own inherent laws, and violating these laws would only lead to unpredictable consequences.

Does he have the ability to grow food in an instant?

The answer is no. Stop thinking about taking shortcuts. You can't avoid the loneliness you have to endure, not even for a second.

Only by being down-to-earth and taking one step at a time can we reap a true harvest.

After a long wait, Huang Tu was the first to finish reading the information about grain in the Land of Fields.

He frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then asked Hiruko beside him, "Hiruko, I am willing to believe in your abilities and I believe that the company will definitely make a profit, but isn't the profit margin a bit low this time?"

Hiruko stopped drinking his tea, his gaze falling on the yellow earth, and slowly said, "The so-called high and low are all relative."

In terms of basic profits in the grain industry, the establishment of this company should at least triple profits, which is already quite substantial.

For example, you could bring in the five great ninja villages of the ninja world and leverage their strength to further expand the company's scale and influence.

Of course, this is not just about making money. The grain company being established this time will be extremely large in scale, and its significance goes far beyond that.

However, it is not directly controlled by the five great ninja villages, but is held by others voluntarily or temporarily in other people's names, and will only be made public when necessary.

To be honest, if I really wanted to make money, I could just go it alone now, but there are some things I can't say outright.

"You probably didn't notice, but on page eight of the appendix, there are some places with detailed profit forecasts."

Hiruko was very meticulous when preparing reports, and he especially liked to use a lot of data to present facts and reason.

In his view, data is the most convincing evidence and can clearly show the essence of things.

It's so easy for ninjas to do corporate espionage work; they only get low-level missions, at most C-level.

But the young men sent out by Beiliuhu were all clever and capable, able to investigate all the data thoroughly without any mistakes.

Soon, Huang Tu saw what Bei Liu Hu had said. He glanced at it, a hint of surprise on his face, and said, "Last time we made dozens of times our money, and the warehouse was almost full of stock."

Hiruko couldn't help but roll his eyes and said helplessly, "Can something like the millet war be the norm? Last time was an extremely rare victory, a victory where the right time, place, and people all came together."

That large-scale production cut was simply taking advantage of the price effect, and many wealthy businessmen joined forces to wage a price war, which boosted both prices and the stock market.

That was a complete fabrication of nothingness; the commercial miracle it created was too illusory, a mere bloodsucker of the entire ninja world, utterly devoid of substance.
