I sell sweets in Konoha

Similarly, when it comes to handling civil matters, the ninja's approach is even more obvious.

Besides, this kind of thing...

"It can't be taught." Junko said even more helplessly: "D-level mission..."

'There is no political commissar, and there is no original intention and tradition to serve the people.This thing is...difficult! Junko touched her face and was so distressed that she had nowhere to complain and said, "It's so difficult for me as Hokage..."

In the animation, the villagers and ninjas live in harmony and prosperity.

But this is not the case in reality. The conflicts between ninjas and villagers are sharp and obvious.It's just that the civilians don't have any advantage in force, so they swallow their anger and appear to be in harmony on the surface.

There is no political commissar in this world, and Junko doesn't know whether to establish one.

Also from the beginning, when I entered the ninja school as a child, the ninja school will not teach these things.

"Another point, let ninjas do these things." Junko took a breath and said seriously: "What a waste!"

"There are specialties in the arts, and everything these ninjas learned from the beginning was not prepared for these."

"Except for some things that don't require any technical content, such as errands."

"It's not like I blame those genin for doing this kind of farm work."

"They really can't do this." Junko said helplessly: "Sandaime-sama, you don't think that farming is just throwing seeds into the ground and waiting for a good harvest, and harvesting is just picking the fruits and digging the ground twice. Is it all over?"

"Ah... well..." The third generation was immediately a little embarrassed by Junko's question. He touched his nose and said, "I..."

"I have never farmed before. It happened to be a war period, so I have never encountered similar tasks..."

"So you don't know." Junko said awkwardly. She couldn't laugh, but she didn't criticize. "Farming work is also a technical job. You want the yield per acre to be higher, the taste to be better, and so on."

"That requires considerable skills, and food is the most important security cornerstone for a village or even a country!"

"You haven't seen the Suna Ninja Village that cannot be self-sufficient and has extremely low food and vegetable production..."

"What kind of life have you been living?!"

"Hehehe~" The third generation touched his nose and said with an embarrassed smile: "I admit that the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is very important. Ninjas really can't do this job."

"But the first generation of adults tried to improve a batch of seeds, but I don't know if they are useful or not."

"You can only tell if it is useful or not by planting it in the field." Junko complained: "Just by preserving it, I still don't know if it is useful or not after so many years."

"In addition, I have been emphasizing one thing." Junko said: "That is about full-time."

"From the beginning of ninja training to graduation, and then to the beginning of practical training, you never considered administrative matters, right?"

"In addition to the Nara family, which is traditionally highly intelligent, it is also considered an Aburame family."

"See for yourself which one is not part-time? Which one can fully handle administrative affairs?"

"Look at the documents on my desk." Junko patted the documents and said, "Speak with your conscience! Doesn't your heart hurt? There are so many trivial things."

"I won't talk about the guys at the Secretariat. They should have made this classification first, right?"

"I gave them the rights, why are they still sending all kinds of documents to me?"

"Are you just worried that I won't be bald?!"

The Third Hokage touched his white hair, touched his chest and said seriously: "It's okay, isn't that how I got here?"

"I didn't have a secretariat to help me before, right? Junko, I want to tell you."

"The most important thing in life is your mood!"

"Stare..." Junko stared at the third generation.

"Uh-huh..." The third generation was a little embarrassed to be stared at by Junko, so he touched his face slightly and said, "Okay, I support this policy."

"Open new schools and implement a compulsory education system. Send all school-age children to schools to learn cultural knowledge."

"But now the funding gap will become huge."

In the past, those children who were not qualified to attend ninja schools mostly worked at home and were considered part of the social labor force.You can reduce the burden on your family and earn some money.

Now we need to implement compulsory education, exempt all tuition fees and miscellaneous fees during the compulsory education period, and provide food security.

This...

This puts considerable economic pressure on Konoha.

"Yes." Junko said, "But fortunately, Konoha can still afford the funds."

Fortunately, it is only one village. If it were a country, the annual investment in education would be a lot of money.If you are not an industrialized country, you really wouldn’t dare to play like this.

"But this still cannot solve the problem." Junko said: "At present, there is a shortage of human resources, especially civilian personnel."

"It is still a very serious matter, and there is also the demolition, planning and construction of new urban areas."

"Demolition, planning and construction... let's not talk about this issue for now." The third generation said with a sad face: "If you continue to reform like you do, Junko, have you ever thought about the funding issue?"

"Yes!" Junko immediately took out a glass bottle filled with red liquid and put it on the table and said, "Do you know rum?"

"Is there such a thing as rum?!"

Chapter 342 Rum

"This is why I invited all the elders here today."

Junko said seriously: "Have you seen these things on the table? This is called rum! A kind of wine made from sugar cane."

"Oh?" Xiaochun went to bed and carefully observed the different-colored wines on the table. She said with a little interest: "This thing is made from the sugar cane you found in the Land of Waves." liquor?"

"Yes." Junko introduced: "This is a kind of distilled liquor..."

"Are you planning to build a rum production line?" Mito Kadoyan pushed up his glasses and said, "Although there are quite a lot of colors, this table should be all rum, right?"

"From sugar cane to rum..." Mito Monohan thought for a while and said, "Locating land, production, and personnel training will all be a huge expense."

"And just for the production of wine, a piece of land is dedicated to growing sugar cane."

"Junko, even the vast land of Konoha is not used this way."

Mito Kadoyan didn't have any particular fondness for sugar cane. After taking a bite, he had no favorable impression of sugar cane.Not to mention that the juice is not that sweet.

If you can't spit out the dregs, your mouth will feel weird.

If it was just for the sweetness of singing, he might as well take a bite of candy.

"This kind of sugarcane has not been carefully cultivated." Junko explained: "It should be semi-wild, so the sugar content is limited and the sweetness is not high."

"But if the varieties are carefully cultivated and bred and improved, this sugar cane can be more than just a raw material for wine making."

"Sugar cane is an important raw material for making sucrose, and sugar is naturally a raw material for making snacks and various candies."

"About 50% of the fiber left in the bagasse from sugar cane can be used to make paper."

"Not as good as wood and bamboo, but better than some other plants."

"Anyway, sugar cane is very useful."

"I think sugar cane..." Danzo took a sip of a glass of rum and said, "It's very good, and this rum is also very, very good."

"You can have a taste."

"Oh?!"

Danzo had already said this, and Koharu and Mito Kadoyan did not shirk when they went to bed. They found out what they wanted to drink and poured themselves a glass and tasted it.

"Oh~ I want to say something." Junko said when she poured rum for herself: "These rums are all of the same flavor."

"Based on the flavor, it can be divided into light fragrance type and strong fragrance type."

"In short, the taste of this thing can be made into many types according to needs!"

Rum is one of the most famous alcoholic beverages in its past life, and its history and accompanying stories are endless.What made Rum more popular and became a household name may be inseparable from pirates.

Captain Jack Sparrow, who was drunk all day long, could hand over his compass in exchange for a bottle of rum.

But to Junko, this rum is not important.

The important thing is...

"This country of Waves is not as poor as it seems." Junko looked at Danzo, then Koharu and Mito Kaden began to taste the rum, and immediately said seductively: "The technology of this island country The level and level of wealth are much higher than what they said and what we imagined."

"What, do you three have any ideas?"

Regarding the Land of Waves, Junko was not planning to let this land go so easily.It looked like a treasure land, with large crops, sugar cane, guano, and probably some other new crops waiting for her to discover.

Secondly, once the cross-sea bridge of the Country of Waves is repaired, it means that the Country of Waves will quickly transform into an important maritime transportation hub.

Its geographical value and economic value are extremely important!

Such a place...

"Look, can you hold it in Konoha's hand?" Junko said in a slightly lower voice.

'Pinched in Konoha's hand? Danzo's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately understood why Junko specially invited the three of them and excluded the third generation.

If it is the third generation, then they will definitely oppose it and strive for some kind of peace or equality agreement.

but....

'I like it! 'That's the approval in Danzo's heart.

He couldn't hide his approval. What qualifications did a small country like that have to talk about equality with Konoha?

"What do you think?" Danzo asked, shaking his glass.

"This island country is very important." Junko said: "We need their technology and their land. If they like to grow sugar cane, let them grow it."

"If we just talk about sugar cane, we in Konoha Village don't need to train special personnel and open up land to grow sugar cane."

"As long as it is responsible for providing technology and helping them improve varieties. This is exactly the job of the newly established Academy of Agricultural Sciences."

"As for how to plant it, just let them do it themselves."

"If it's just for sugar cane." Xiaochun put down his wine glass and said, "Isn't it a bit too much to do this? Do you have to control a small country just for sugar cane?"

"Fudai, your thoughts are a bit dark."

"Come on~" Junko said contemptuously: "You old lady, don't pretend to be innocent here. Don't you know how dirty your heart is?"

"There is no Third Hokage here, let's just talk about things! If you don't like it, you can pack up and leave!"

"If you don't have an opinion, just tell me your opinion directly and stop giving me such nonsense!"

"Do you know that if it is made, sugar cane will be very important!"

"This thing can completely support the economic system of a small country."

"You're telling me it's 'just'?"

Let’s not talk about bird droppings and plus-size. It’s just sugar cane.If Konoha Village can have a monopoly, then people in Konoha Village can sleep directly on Jinshan Mountain in the future.

Junko knows the economic value of this thing very well!

"Hmph!" Koharu snorted coldly when he went to bed, "I just don't think it's worth it! If it's as you said, the sugar cane trade is hugely profitable, then it will definitely make other ninja villages jealous."

"If we use violence to conquer, maybe the other ninja villages can be left alone for a while until trade stops."

"But after discovering the huge profits, they will definitely interfere with it, and Konoha will definitely be dragged into a quagmire."

"Girl, you have to know that this quagmire is far away from Konoha! The Iwagakure Village of the Earth Country and the Sunagakure Village of the Wind Country may be beyond reach, so we can only watch the fire from a distance."

"But the Kingdom of Water and the Kingdom of Thunder will definitely be able to help!"

"Especially the Kingdom of Water. They will not just watch the Kingdom of Waves fall to the Kingdom of Fire."

What Koharu said when he went to bed made Junko irrefutable for a moment. There was a very special place in the Land of Waves.It is an island country sandwiched between the Kingdom of Water and the Kingdom of Fire.

Although it is closer to the Kingdom of Fire, it is easier for the Kingdom of Fire to interfere than the Kingdom of Water.

but!

This island is like the ghost island in the previous life and the mainland. Wherever you attack is the base, where you retreat is the barrier.

The difference is that it is similar to the Kingdom of Water.Offense is the springboard to attack the Fire Nation and the first line of defense outside the homeland.

The Kingdom of Water will not give up, even if it is not strong enough now, it will not give up easily.

This can be seen from the rebellious ninja hired by Cardo.

"But." Mito Kadoyan thought carefully for a while and said: "The Kingdom of Waves must not give up! If you give up the Kingdom of Waves, it will be equivalent to adding obstacles to Konoha and the Country of Fire."

"The strategic value of this country of waves is too important."
