What’s even more outrageous is that almost all of them are equipped with top-level chakra metal weapons. The feeling of wielding a golden mountain to chop people is simply exciting.
There are also expensive fabrics used to make ninja uniforms. Ninjas have to crawl and sleep in the open air every day. Who would be willing to wear such high-end clothes to fight?
The heroic spirit of the Akatsuki organization was already in his face, and he had no choice but to believe it.
However, Kakuzu is a man with some integrity and cannot just surrender to the enemy's offensive.
"Are you going to interrogate me about anything else? For example, who sent me here? What are you doing here?"
There's nothing wrong with fighting a little first and then joining the other side.
"None of this matters. I'm just asking if you're curious about making money."
"Do you know that the annual land tax burden of the Rain Country is in our hands? It's about... this number. The unit I mentioned is 100 million taels."
An S-level mission is worth more than one million taels, but that involves a war between two countries.
It can be said that for an ordinary jonin it is a life-and-death situation, and only if the combat power exceeds the norm can one complete several S-levels.
Otherwise, how can it be said that ninjas who can complete more than ten or twenty S-level tasks are the most core and valuable resources of a village.
Kakuzu's hands were shaking a little.
咕咚
"In fact, the commercial taxes of all business activities in Rain Country are also in our hands. Although this country is poor and backward and there is not much material circulation, this amount is still there."
咕咚
"Do you know how many missions a ninja village receives and sends out every day? The Hidden Rain Village doesn't have many missions, so it can only barely maintain this number."
咕咚
"Can you imagine how the mines of the whole country can be arranged as you wish, non-ferrous metals, coal, etc...."
咕咚
"Finally, have you ever experienced the feeling of holding a handful of chakra metal weapons? Have you ever experienced the pleasure of throwing a pile of detonating tags?"
咕咚
"Fake ninjas wander around the ninja world, working hard to accumulate mission rewards. Real ninjas control resources and make rules, and money is just a number."
Kakuzu was like a drunk now, his entire mind was shattered by Noah's words.
It was as if he saw endless mountains of gold falling on him from the sky. This was an irresistible dimensional attack.
At this moment, Noah's body inexplicably emitted a golden light. It was not an illusion but the light of holding the finances of a country.
This shocked him even more than the strength that could split a canyon with one sword, and his mind was completely lost.
"Want to know where all this wealth comes from?"
This was the devil's whisper... No! It was the devil's loud roar in his mind that completely occupied all his thoughts.
"How, how did it come?"
"Let me tell you a story. This story is called Rare Goods Are Worth Hoarding. In the distant eastern continent, there was a big businessman named Lu Buwei. He had a good business sense and was good at speculation and hoarding. Therefore, he was famous for his wealth."
"Through business? But merchants in this world are not that rich."
“Business is just a means, it depends on the product.
One day he came to the capital of a foreign country and shouted, "This rare treasure is worth keeping." For this "rare treasure", Lu Buwei spent a lot of money to send batches of rare treasures to the Qin Palace, and finally even gave away his beloved concubine.
A few years later, Lü Buwei went from being a wealthy merchant in Wei to becoming the prime minister of Qin. He held a high position and enjoyed a high salary, and his glory and wealth were a thousand times greater than before.
"What is this product?"
Kakuzu was puzzled.
"He was the king who unified the continent back then."
"Got it? The wealth that a country can provide is unimaginable for a dark world ninja like you."
"The next task after fighting to the death is that I randomly draw an area with more land tax."
"I came to the Rain Country alone, and I acquired all this in two years through my smart investment. It was that simple to go from being penniless to being the richest man in the Rain Country."
Gudong, what is the myth of wealth? This is the myth of wealth.
If what the person in front of me said is true, then in the eyes of those who believe that money is supreme, he is a god.
"You, why are you telling me this?"
In the end, it was the cold shackles on his body that reminded Kakuzu that he was still a prisoner and should not think about such unnecessary things.
"Remember, the most important thing about investing is vision and perspective, as well as a lot of knowledge."
"If there really is nothing...sigh."
Kakuzu thinks that he is a person without vision and pattern, and his knowledge... is also that he has lived in vain for more than eighty years.
So after bringing himself in, he just felt despair, so he asked tremblingly.
"For someone like this... is there still a chance?"
"There are still some..."
"What is it!"
Kakuzu felt that he had found the way to sublime. He had wasted so many years and he didn't want to live the same life anymore.
Seeing the equipment and wealth of the younger generations was unbearable. I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light.
“It’s about following the right person or organization and investing.”
“If your own value is not big enough, remember, all in is also a kind of wisdom!”
See the picture poorly.
Noah's target is not only Kakuzu, but also the little savings he has accumulated over the past 80 years.
Compared with the size of a country, the capital accumulated over the years should not be that large, but it is a belief.
With all the money invested, the corners will become more supportive of the development of the Rain Kingdom than anyone else.
I guess even if it meant the curse on the back of his head would break out, he wouldn't do anything that would hurt his money in the slightest.
"This this……"
Somewhat speechless, Kakuzu tried to control his emotions.
No, I can't listen to it anymore. If I invest the money I have saved for 80 years... Damn it! I almost fainted from happiness. If it really is a thousand times more, it will be terrible.
Noah gave a mysterious smile. Xiaonan pushed in a blackboard with a large amount of information on it.
Although it was a bit strange to do this in an interrogation room, neither side cared.
"Take a look at these. These are the data on the changes in the Rain Country over the past two years and its future development plans."
"The distribution of land and farmland has increased a lot because it is the main work, but this year we have not completely distributed the farmland on hand, so the real boom period should be next year."
"The Rain Country is also putting its domestic public construction planning on the agenda. After all, it is difficult to carry out the industrial revolution without complete supporting facilities."
Chapter 53 Noah's Prison Classroom
Noah wrote and drew on the blackboard in the prison, outlining various bar charts and curve graphs.
All the units were in 100 million, which made Kakuzu's little green eyes and heart beat fast.
A large amount of data was continuously sent in, and a lot of paper and pens were also given to Kakuzu.
A unique teaching session began.
I don't know why, but it seems that learning efficiency is higher in places with iron bars. Kakuzu is also a good student who is willing to study.
When faced with something like the Bible, I exerted one thousand percent of my energy to understand it.
He would ask serious questions from time to time to understand the meaning, and made rapid progress.
After combining many years of life experience in the ninja world, he increasingly recognized Noah's development model, which was at least 500 years ahead of all countries in the world.
"Next year we will have our first bumper harvest since the war, so there will be absolutely no problem in ensuring survival.
Animal husbandry, fisheries, etc. are also being planned, and we will try our best to meet qualified standards.
All of the above belong to the primary industry, which can be easily improved with the management guidance of the organization.
We have obtained all the agency authorizations from the Daimyo, which is the foundation for the current development of the Rain Country and the only way for a small country to develop.
By achieving this step, we can actually foresee a future with explosive population growth. People are wealth, and only by providing everyone with a better living environment and a stable society can we get returns beyond imagination.
Because things like a sense of identity and a desire to guide can work wonders in every aspect.
Never, ever separate yourself from the millions of ordinary people. Ninjas are just ordinary people who have mastered extraordinary powers, not gods.
Moreover, even gods can be killed by humans.”
Kakuzu seemed to understand but not quite. He understood it very well at the beginning, but when it came to talking about people later, he was a little confused. This is a common problem among ninjas.
At this time, thinking about the fact that Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara would also die, I can understand it again. Things like birth, aging, sickness and death are difficult to defy.
“Look at the information carefully, the next part is the key point.
The secondary industry is what we need to tackle in the next stage.
The development of the mine has not yet started, but the exploration work is progressing very smoothly with the help of a certain member.
Then manufacturing, electricity, heat, gas and water production and supply, construction and other processing and manufacturing industries have been the focus in the past five years.
Why do countries close their doors to the outside world? Because big countries will instinctively control the development of the secondary industries of small countries.
With these, our product production, domestic and foreign trade, and all aspects of social problems will be quickly resolved.
It is no exaggeration to describe the liberation of productivity as soaring. After these basic industries develop, the wealth of the Rain Country will explode at a speed you can't imagine.
100 million? This unit will be immediately swept into the trash."
After seeing the development trends listed by Noah, ordinary units of measurement are indeed a bit powerless. This is the power of the trend.
Make a note of it.
“The next step is to vigorously develop the tertiary industry.
We have already developed some of the tertiary industries simultaneously. Scientific research and technical services, transportation, water conservancy, environment and public facilities management, resident services education, health and social work, culture, social security and social organizations
For this purpose, we are still attracting foreign scientists to upgrade the industry. Only high-end industries can reap the wealth of other regions. Simple low-end industries can no longer satisfy our appetite.
As for the construction of the traffic road, the construction has already begun by the Salamander Hanzo, who is constantly leveling the road and paving the way. Unfortunately, the scheduled blasting expert is too young now, so I can only trouble Hanzo.
In terms of culture, it is to pass on the will of rain into the hearts of the people and let everyone devote themselves to the great road of building the country.
The rest were barely dealt with by Yahiko and other members of Akatsuki who worked hard overtime.
However, there is still a lack of talented and strong people. The creation of a large amount of wealth requires the power to protect itself.
You know the ninja world. Konoha was surrounded and beaten three times because of its best geographical location, and each time it was seriously injured.
We cannot remain closed off from the outside world forever, because the means of production generated in that way cannot be converted into wealth.
The secret of the source of social wealth is that wealth is generated in the process of continuous exchange and transaction between the supply side and the demand side... This is what we usually say: "Exchange creates wealth."
Noah's tone became more and more enthusiastic, and Kakuzu became more and more excited. Along with the maps, data, and knowledge in class, he seemed to see endless resources flowing through his hands.
I've met a bosom friend. It's rare to meet such an opportunistic person in the ninja world. He doesn't talk about strength, but money, and it's a lot of money.
The other party may not even look at the little money I have. I have wasted decades of my life without meeting a wise leader.
A week later, Noah, who had just finished a lesson in prison, spoke to Kakuzu very seriously.
“Of course, what we hope for more is common prosperity and joint construction of this beautiful rain country, and using this as a starting point to achieve the dream of world peace.
It doesn’t mean that victory can only be achieved by treating everyone as an enemy and eliminating them. We have always believed that if everyone can become a community of interests, become comrades and have the same dream, then the world will naturally be peaceful.”
The economics class in the previous week made Kakuzu forget the purpose of coming to the Rain Country. Now he was a little confused after hearing what Noah said.
Oh, yes, Akatsuki...
"So you guys really are a world peace organization?"
You taught me a week-long course and ended up talking about world peace...
“Peace is the ultimate ideal of our organization, but there are many ways to achieve it.
