Noah said he was not sure yet, and he would fight with the daimyo after the war was over.
Then the farmers seemed to have suffered a huge blow and immediately became depressed after such a cheerful mood.
Some people even begged and expressed their willingness to pay more grain this time in exchange for this farming model.
Noah was well aware of their demands.
Farmers in the Naruto world are taxed according to the most basic ishigao system.
For example, if the annual production is 100 shi, the “three public and two private” distribution method requires the payment of 60 shi of tax. The same applies to fish production.
This is only the annual tribute. In addition to the annual tribute, there are many rents and taxes from the family, and salt taxes and the like are calculated separately.
Chapter 29 The training for the first light begins
In other words, we should thank God for being able to survive.
This is how peasants lived during the feudal period, whether here or in other parts of the world.
The worst thing in the extraordinary world is that you can't even launch an armed uprising, because the super-normal power is always in the hands of those in power.
It makes sense that the daimyo aristocratic system, which has remained unchanged for thousands of years, has been able to survive to this day.
Noah's land contracting and allocation method was truly powerful, and scientific planting and ninja intervention had increased the yield to a level that these farmers had never imagined before.
With food in their hands, they rarely began to worry about the future.
Yahiko was standing in the crowd and seemed to have been hit.
As the leader of Akatsuki, he didn't expect that ordinary people's lives would be so difficult.
It's really ironic that it doesn't even matter to these people whether there is a war or not.
Even his own previous idea of eliminating war and achieving peace did not take into account the existence of this group of people who cannot speak out.
Because Yahiko had escaped from a precarious life as a refugee long ago, he entered the extraordinary system after becoming Jiraiya's apprentice.
I have interacted with ordinary people, but not in depth. I have not really understood the environment faced by most ordinary people.
Now it seems that allowing everyone to live a normal life is no less difficult than achieving world peace.
Yahiko was a little silent, wondering if he should do more. After all, he had gained power.
Under Noah's leadership, all members of the Akatsuki organization once again returned to being ordinary people.
"Teacher, after the war, should we return these temporarily managed fields to the nobles?"
This is a question and also a request for help.
The three disciples all looked at Noah, hoping that their teacher could come up with a solution that would satisfy both parties.
"I am not a savior. I cannot save everyone."
"You are the leaders and core of the Akatsuki organization. Go among them, understand their demands, understand the birth of the nobility, understand who established the ownership of the land, understand why the daimyo is the daimyo. Finally, understand why the world is like this."
"Then think of a way that you think is reasonable to solve this problem."
"It's just homework."
Noah did not tell his disciples directly, but let these young people learn on their own.
Yahiko's naive and weak ideas need to be changed little by little. This step is to make him feel the sadness and helplessness of ordinary people and the irrationality of the aristocratic system itself.
The death knell of unproductive superiors is always ringing slowly.
The trio also began visiting and recording the thoughts and wishes of ordinary people.
Let the people's most sincere wishes torture their hearts that weigh the pros and cons.
This is also a kind of tempering. If you don't have the courage to let the world change, there is no way to transform this country.
People who only know how to compromise will become like the Third Hokage, compromising among various forces to achieve a seemingly best result.
In fact, it is just something maintained by the rentier class, and it is no different from the order maintained by the aristocracy.
Finally, the three of them were asked to work together to write an investigation report and solutions, combining what they had seen and heard as well as their future prospects for the Rain Kingdom in all aspects.
The three disciples felt more and more depressed as they wrote, and finally they felt the weight of these countless civilians was so heavy on their pens.
In this harvest season, the leader of Akatsuki seemed to be very tired.
Because they combined what they had taught in previous classes, they seemed to slowly involve the entire ninja world.
If the status of these farmers, the ownership group of the land, and the distribution of output were changed after the war, it would actually shake the foundation of the entire Rain Country and undermine the rule of the daimyo.
This is not a simple case of the lower class overthrowing the upper class, but rather overturning the table.
If they seize it by force... then a huge civil war will break out in the Rain Country.
The Rain Village will also become the mortal enemy of the Akatsuki organization, because in theory the ninja village must also obey the orders of the daimyo.
By then, more people will probably be drawn into the civil war, and the country will sink into the abyss.
What’s even more terrifying is that even if we can withstand the pressure from the Rain Village, there is still pressure from other major countries.
Changing the scope of the daimyo's power and the way they rule is to go against the whole world. The five great nations will not agree to this, nor will the small nations such as the River Country, the Bird Country, and the Frost Country.
The more I thought about it, the more shocked I became. The lessons that Teacher Noah had taught me before were recalled bit by bit from my memory, and they actually accurately completed this deduction.
The three people in the room connected little by little, and the conclusion they finally came to was extremely absurd.
The way to help them survive is to return the land to the noble families after the war and let the peasants who want to live a good life return to that kind of muddy life.
Any extra rights you ask for will be ruthlessly taken away.
Sometimes it’s a sin to even look up.
Yahiko suddenly remembered what Teacher Noah said once when he was inspecting the farmland. They didn't feel anything at the time.
But the more I knew and understood, I was unexpectedly touched by this sentence.
"I seem to be unable to do anything..."
The more cheerful the farmers looked, the more depressed they felt.
I even felt that Teacher Noah was too cruel. Why should he give them hope!
Snapped!Snapped!
Konan slapped Yahiko, and Nagato also slapped Yahiko.
"The Yahiko we know is not someone who gives up so easily!" x2
"But I...feel ridiculous. Before I saw the world, I always wanted to make the world peaceful. After seeing a corner of the world, I am left with only despair."
"Waging war just to fight for dignity, rights, and equality... this is not the path I want to take."
The young boy Yahiko squatted alone at the highest point of the camp, feeling extremely lost as he looked at the ordinary people and the ninjas of the Akatsuki organization who seemed to be running with hope below.
This is the difference between ideals and dreams.
An ideal is a realistic goal, while a dream is an idealized goal.
In the process of realizing their ideals, people need to have the ability and skills to achieve realistic goals and need to continue to work hard and strive.
In the process of realizing their dreams, people tend to pursue more fantastic and idealized states, but they also need more opportunities and luck.
Naruto is a process of realizing dreams. Everything is subjective. Use fists and dreams to create a future.
With his special bloodline and cheats, he reached the pinnacle of the ninja world and did the same thing as Hashirama Senju did when he was alive.
Uchiha Sasuke is a replica of Madara, except that this time Ashura's chakra lost.
Yahiko was originally a dreamer, but he was constantly changed in Noah's courses and has come to understand the collision and friction between reality and ideals.
At this time, the boy's original courage was no longer enough.
To be honest, the sense of responsibility made the child afraid to face the tragic scene he would face after his hard struggle.
This ideological conflict trapped him on the top of the tower, unable to move forward, and he even gave up swordsmanship.
Nagato and Konan came to see Noah, wanting the teacher to help Yahiko get out of this.
"Not yet. The first light will suffer the most. Trust him."
Noah did not comfort the disciple at this time, nor did he give a ready answer.
He is just a passer-by and will leave here eventually.
Even in this crisis-ridden world, it is possible to fall prematurely.
Then Yahiko, the light he chose, must have a deep understanding of revolution, the courage to fearlessly break through the sky, and the ambition to turn the world upside down after careful consideration.
Without such willpower, the road to revolution cannot be continued.
It is very cruel to go against the whole world. You will be criticized by everyone and suffer endless pain.
Your companions will fall behind, your relatives and friends may turn against you, and your enemies will be everywhere.
The first step to burning the world is courage!
"This is just the beginning, Yahiko!"
Chapter 30: Establishing the Right Mindset from the Beginning
The operation of Akatsuki cannot be stopped even when Yahiko is autistic.
Now is a very busy period for the Akatsuki organization, and a large amount of food is being delivered to the warehouse that has been prepared in the camp.
Xiaonan's secret technique played an extremely important role here, and the conversion calculations of countless data were clearly recorded in the book.
Nagato was responsible for patrolling the camp and coordinating the work of the Rain Village.
The recent abnormal behavior of the Iwa Ninja has made everyone feel uneasy.
Because the rhythm of their retreat is somewhat similar to the rhythm of the Sand Ninja back then.
Even Hanzo sent a letter specifically asking the Akatsuki organization not to act rashly, and to lie low for a while after harvesting the crops so as not to bring disaster to the Rain Country.
Originally, Yahiko was in charge of the coordination here, but after the child became autistic, Nagato took over.
Nagato is just a little introverted, but he has no flaws in his work. There is no need to worry about the child who can grow up through Jiraiya's teaching.
The operation of the entire organization does not stop because of the absence of one person.
This is the result of Noah’s efforts. He has always believed that there can be heroes and leaders, but the organization itself must have a very sound operating mechanism.
In this way, if an iteration occurs, it will not affect the work and life of most people.
Power should never be concentrated in the hands of a few people. The constant torture of human nature is the most cruel.
Even heroes can fall, not to mention that most of them are ordinary people.
In the world of pirates, Noah also split up the Revolutionary Army, and there were also external forces such as the World Alliance and the Navy to check and balance each other.
This is still done in the Naruto world. Facing the complexity and contradictions of human nature is not contradictory to burning.
"Teacher, do we really have to distribute this batch of supplies according to what we agreed on before?"
"of course."
"But then things will get a little tense here in our camp. Should we wait until next year..."
Xiaonan was a little worried because she was not overly optimistic about the first year's harvest after the tenant farmers kept their share.
The Akatsuki organization had previously promised the Rain Village to give back some of the gifts they had given them, and this made the girl in charge of finances a little worried.
The pressure of managing a large camp is a constant adjustment for this child.
Especially since this new way of acquiring resources does not have much precedent, new problems arise every day.
“This is something we agreed upon before and cannot go back on our word. The credibility of an organization is the most valuable thing, both internally and externally.
If you put it off until next year, you will just be wasting your already limited credibility. How can you gain others' trust if you can't even do it yourself?
We cannot rely solely on external pressure to integrate internal affairs. This is a tightrope walk.
When Hanzo of the Salamander wanted to kill the Akatsuki organization, he was able to turn things around thanks to our credibility, prospects and sincerity.
Of course, some means are indispensable, but the core remains unchanged.
