Luo Sha was relatively young and didn't know what this thing was, but he could see the potential of this rail car at a glance.
If the Kingdom of Wind can build this to connect with the outside world, and then take control of resources, minerals and other channels, then can it become rich?
“Trains are a technology that has existed for a long time. I remember that the Snow Country built a railway that encircles the country, while other countries have given up this mode of transportation.
The technology for the front of the car is very simple, and it can be designed in half a year with the reserves of the Sand Village.
However, laying railways has very high requirements and consumes huge amounts of steel.
It’s expensive to set up and expensive to maintain.”
Chiyo described all the information about the train in detail.
New things like this are recorded in the intelligence of various countries, and everyone can see the excellent transportation capacity of trains.
It would definitely be an excellent way to transport ninja troops and supplies.
But each country has its own particularities.
The Land of Thunder is located on a plateau and has many canyons.
The Land of Earth has more mountains and rivers, the Land of Wind is covered with yellow sand, and the Land of Water is on an island.
Besides, if such a thing is not approved by the daimyo and nobles to be built, it would be impossible for the ninja village alone to complete it.
Because one country, one village.
The Ninja Village is just a military organization, and they can only build one road in the village.
The large tracts of land outside the village belonged to the daimyo and nobles.
Many ninja villages just learned about it and gave up, so why didn't the daimyo repair it?
It's useless to repair it. Except for the remote corners of the ninja world like the Snow Country where there is no formal government to maintain it, this can be done. There should be restrictions in other places.
What's going on in the Rain Country?
Salamander Hanzo said that this was built by the daimyo.
The Daimyo of the Rain Country felt that the people were suffering due to years of war, so he decided to build a new city and this means of transportation to help the country revitalize.
And they, the Rain Ninjas, only began construction and maintenance work after being commissioned by the daimyo in exchange for more funds.
When it comes to Daimyoji, no one will ask any more questions, because that group has its own system.
At most, I could sigh that a new ambitious figure had emerged in the ninja world.
woo~~~~~~
After a while of thinking about it, we were about to arrive at the station.
After getting off the train, I saw the new town that had already taken shape.
At this point, the role of the Salamander has ended, and in order to maintain his aloof identity as the lord of the Rain Village, he bids farewell.
Next, the young man Yahiko led everyone on a tour.
The actual situation is that the old man's acting skills can only last this far, so Noah hurriedly arranged for his exit.
"This place... is quite unique."
From the outside, the architectural style is different from other places in the ninja world, which surprised everyone.
“This new town was designed by Mr. Adam, our writer from the Rain Country.
This style combines the beauty of modern technology with special styles from all over the world.”
Chapter 143: Sand Village, too many flaws
At this time, Ebizo squinted his eyes and said something.
"It is somewhat similar to the style of the old ninjas, and also has the style of the ancient survivors. This author has traveled to many places."
Everyone knows that the Sky Ninja was wiped out by Konoha during the Third World War, and this ninja village was very active before that.
But Luo Sha, an ancient survivor, didn’t understand.
“It is said that there is a magical ore deep in the desert, and the ancient survivors used this ore to build a huge civilization.
I learned about this when I was young and met a wanderer who looked different from us. The building he described was somewhat similar to this one.
I just don't know if you have found the Gray Stone."
Ebizō and Chiyo are indeed the top ninjas who have survived to this day, and their rich experience is astonishing.
If every Jonin can be called a legend, then people like Chiyo are legends among legends.
The things they have experienced, the tasks they have performed, and the people they have met are all valuable assets.
Not only Rasa, but even Yahiko felt like he had learned something.
Once they entered the town they were surrounded by a sense of the future.
The street planning does not have the division between ninjas and civilians like in the ninja villages, nor does it have the strict class system like in the daimyo castle.
This is like a large...commercial town.
It seems that everything is for sale, and everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation is full of fashion.
"Captain Yahiko, I heard that Akatsuki has been working on various peaceful reforms in the Rain Country with the support of the Daimyo. I think it's all your credit that we're here."
Old lady Chiyo, with the idea of trying her best to get information from him, said some words.
She felt strange when she entered the Land of Rain. She had heard five years ago that a new Akatsuki organization had conflicts with Hanzo of the Salamander, but they didn't take it seriously at that time.
In the blink of an eye, the two organizations seemed to be working together in an awkward manner.
"Thank you for the compliment. This new town was built with the support of the Daimyo. Hanzo-sama also made a great contribution."
I see. It seems that this Akatsuki organization was launched by the Daimyo to compete with Hanzo.
This new town is also a way to counter the power sharing of the Rain Village. I never thought that such a small country like the Rain Country could come up with such a complicated political conspiracy.
The implicit confrontation between the two systems has been ongoing.
"Captain Yahiko, before we came here we could not have imagined that the Rain Country had such a close connection with the Fire Country and was willing to organize this Five Kage Conference on behalf of the Fifth Hokage."
Here it comes, the test will become deeper and deeper. Yahiko showed the results of his rehearsal without any panic.
The yellow-haired leader smiled bitterly
"...In fact, I only knew about the Five Kage Tournament being held here a month earlier than you did.
Master Hanzo...sigh...
We... don’t have a choice.”
The tone of voice could almost make everyone imagine the grudges and hatreds behind it.
The two Sand Ninja elders looked at each other and roughly understood what was going on.
At this time, Luo Sha suddenly pointed at several machines in the roadside window with curiosity. You know, there are so many puppeteers coming out of the Wind Ninja Village, and they really have a deep foundation in mechanical structure.
Although he was playing with gold sand, he could see that the ability of this machine seemed to be used to turn over the soil.
"Oh, this is our agricultural machinery and equipment. The little masters of the Rain Country have always bought or rented tools here for farming."
"Did the nobles commission the design?"
“Yes, if we only use traditional farm tools such as hoes, it will take a lot of time and the output will be too low. However, after using these new farm tools, there will be an explosive growth.
This way, people have more time to work, such as paving roads, mining, and moving bricks. Otherwise, how would this city have been built?
We have orders for manufacturing machinery for this type of manual labor.”
According to Yahiko, the nobles cooperated with the ninjas in order to more quickly exploit the productivity of ordinary people.
Use the simplest and most crude puppetry to improve sturdy and durable tools to make your wealth grow explosively.
The Sand Village suddenly felt that the nobles and daimyo of the Wind Country seemed more like human beings.
Maybe because he saw that Kazekage was more interested, Chiyo and Ebizo were also a little interested, so Yahiko took them into the showroom of this mechanical equipment.
The store manager hurried out to greet these adults.
As a store manager who came from a humble background, he had never seen Lord Yahiko bring anyone here so politely.
"Don't be nervous, your luck has come, this is the most distinguished guest from the Kingdom of Wind.
Any leak in your hand can keep you from opening a business for half a year."
Rasa was very pleased with Yahiko's words, and his chest straightened up a little.
Fengying, who has always been poor, feels particularly touched by the improvement in his economic status.
Yes, I am the leader of the Sand Village, one of the five major nations. I cannot be compared with the other four Kage, but compared with ordinary people, I am definitely a super rich man.
I’ve decided that I’m going to spend a little bit today to shock my boss.
Walking and looking in the store, Luo Sha was very interested in many civilian machinery.
He was tired of seeing the puppets of the Sand Village, and he really liked the beauty of this simple engineering machinery.
In particular, he showed great interest in several mining equipment and solutions, and was tempted after asking about the prices.
The price is definitely not cheap, but based on its structure and plan, you can just buy a few sets and replicate it.
For ninjas, they can cross such so-called trade secrets at will without any moral obstacles.
But soon this idea was poured cold water by Chiyo.
"Many of the discovered mineral resources belong to the daimyo and nobles. You know that the places in our Sand Village are basically unused. It's okay to buy two sets and study and operate them, but don't even think about large-scale operations."
Luo Sha's nature immediately declined.
But Chiyo's expression became profound.
What bothered her was that this method of simplifying the mechanical puppet was not as simple as outsiders thought.
This is a product produced from a high-level perspective by simplifying complex mechanical structures at a higher level.
Simple puppetry? Haha, the story behind this Rain Country is not that simple.
Moreover, there is always a faint sense of familiarity with this technique, and there is an opportunity to communicate with the other party.
After further study, she found something wrong.
The machines here are varied, but the hardness of the materials used, as well as the structural parts, etc. are almost exactly the same. This method is even more terrifying.
standardization!
If the production of war machines also had this kind of process, I'm afraid the Sand Ninjas would have an explosive improvement.
This is a breakthrough opportunity for puppetry!
So Chiyo was very interested in exploring the secret behind this, but on the surface she remained the same as before.
He even poured cold water on Luo Sha when he was interested, just to hide his real purpose.
As a ninja gets older his fighting ability may decline, but his fighting thinking will be at its peak.
Noah and Itachi, who were outside the screen, were watching this happen.
"Teacher, although these things are very important to the Sand Village, they don't seem to purchase them in large quantities. The daimyo has restricted the range of such products."
"Yes, because the daimyo and the nobles restricted the development of the Sand Village, what should the Sand Ninja do?
Itachi, you haven't visited the Daimyo Castle in the Land of Rain yet."
"Yes, I have been visiting between the new town and Rain Village recently."
"The pass I gave you allows you to go deep into Daimyo Castle to meet the Daimyo. Go take a look when you get a chance."
The young man was silent for a moment and then nodded. He had a bold guess, but because it was too bold, he didn't even dare to think further.
"Teacher, Chiyo seems to be observing every detail carefully. Did she see something?"
“As a top puppeteer, she is more interested in what is behind it.
If you want to explore, you need to pay a certain price, such as... family affection."
Noah had an evil smile on his face, as if something was going to happen that would make him very happy.
The Sand Village... has too many flaws.
