Chapter 208 Harvest and City Changes!
despair!
The ship docked, and Uchiha Mei jumped down with a group of Uchiha clan members.

There were many people huddled together on the blood-stained deck.

refugee!

This time, the goods were not sold at other ports, but brought back directly.

Although it is free to absorb it from the Fire Country, it is troublesome and also attracts attention, so it is more convenient to purchase it from the Water Country.

The point is that it is cheap and does a good thing.

After all, in a place like that, the chance of death is really scary.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll let Mei distribute the rewards!"

Dou Ping praised the Uchiha members in the team and gave a promise.

It sounds a bit redundant.

The eldest branch of the Uchiha clan is their own power, and they can use them to do things for them without paying any extra compensation.

Just like when Konoha Village used active ninjas to fight in the Ninja World War, it was "free use" and only provided logistics.

But as a time traveler, Tang Ping naturally wouldn't play it like this.

Money is just a number to him who has started farming and trading. It is a great deal to use money to buy people's hearts.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, the Uchiha's originally tired faces showed excitement and excitement.

Even when they were defending Konoha against the Mist Ninja army, they had no income. Now that they have joined forces with Dohei, a 'family member', they will immediately have income from carrying out missions. How can they not be excited?

Money is not the most important thing for the Uchiha who came from a wealthy family.

But this attention and concern is enough to make them die for him.

"As expected, money is not everything, but without money, nothing is possible!"

Tang Ping thought to himself.

At the same time, he also thought of ways to bring their "family" out.

But it’s extremely difficult!
Because those people are the "bargaining chips" used by the village to control them, how could they be easily let out of the village?

So I can only look for opportunities slowly.

"How was the harvest?"

As Tang Ping led the team back, he asked about the harvest.

The trade was conducted under the name of United Fruit, but the person in charge was a temporary transfer from Honda Chamber of Commerce, and Uchiha Mei and dozens of Uchiha soldiers served as guards.

It can be called a 'luxury' protective force.

Because those sea caravans would only hire one or two Mist Ninja teams for protection at most, most of them would not hire any.

The guard force like that of Tangping faction is indeed overwhelming.

Therefore, the bloodstains on the deck must have come from pirates and other merchant caravans.

If a maritime caravan encounters an easy target, it is not impossible for them to play the role of pirates.

Yes, it is such a mess at sea.

"After deducting the cost and the thousands of refugees, the profit will be around 100 million taels!"

The fleet manager stepped forward and replied.

The status of a ninja is not comparable to that of a businessman like him, so when it comes to positioning, he naturally stands at the back. If Dou Ping hadn't asked, he would not have stood up.

Doesn’t that sound like a good deal?

In fact, this is already a considerable loss.

Because if they were hired normally, there would be one quasi-kage, several elite jonin, a dozen chunins, and dozens of genin.

Not to mention whether you are qualified to place such an order, the cost alone is at least tens of millions of taels.

The starting price for an S-level mission is one million taels. If a quasi-shadow expert really charges for it, it will be more than one million taels.

And this time is a bit too long.

More than a month!
For someone like Kakuzu, it was enough for him to hunt down a few rebellious ninjas and earn tens of millions of ryo.

See, hiring ninja for protection is so expensive.

But if we don’t hire them, it would be wishful thinking to expect to trade safely in the Water Kingdom.

There are not only pirates there, but also various major ninja clans. The strength of those people is not comparable to that of the pirates.

That is to say, Uchiha Mei and the Uchiha clan were extremely powerful, so they were able to reach the Water Country.

"I brought back 30 million taels of ransom, and the other party agreed to trade, and said that they would be responsible for protecting the fleet when entering the Water Country in the future!"

Uchiha Mei took over the conversation.

In this way, trade can be profitable.

As long as they make a name for themselves in the first few times, the route will be much safer, and then with the support of the Terumi and Kizuna tribes, it will be enough to maintain a route. At the same time, there are only five small ships this time, and the trade volume is really not large, that is, the distance is not too far, otherwise they can't bring back so many refugees.

"That's good!"

Tang Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

With this route, I have a stable source of income.

We can't keep cutting the leeks of the "big brother" all the time, right?

Chives also take time to grow.

Hunting rebel ninjas is not only time-consuming and troublesome, but it is also not a stable way to make money.

But trade is different.

Once the connection is established, money can really come in continuously.

And the Water Country is just one channel, and Tang Ping is also planning to open up a channel to the Wind Country.

Even though there is sand everywhere, there are a lot of good things there.

Not to mention those precious minerals, all kinds of poisons, puppets, and plants are good things.

As long as you can get through, you can definitely make a lot of money.

At the same time, Tang Ping also thought of the person in charge of business, but it was a bit troublesome to find this person in charge.

The Walking Miko: Yakushi Nono!
This person is an extremely rare talent and has been Tang Ping's target for a long time.

But we haven’t found the other party yet, so we can only put it on hold for the time being, and we will take action as soon as we find the other party.

After talking about the harvest, Tang Ping disbanded the team and asked the managers who came to greet them to resettle the refugees, check the accounts, etc.

The ship will rest here for a few days before setting off again.

On the way back to the city, you can see the rice seedlings growing rapidly in the paddy fields on both sides.

With sufficient irrigation and ample manpower, the rice naturally grows very fast.

Especially those 'hybrid rice', whether in size or other aspects, are much better than those that have not been improved.

However, it is not possible to plant all the rice in this round. We can only plant all the hybrid rice in the next round after the harvest.

The Uchiha ninjas were originally nervous, but they suddenly relaxed after seeing this scene.

With such a stable rear, their hearts will naturally be at peace.

This is also why Dohei feels that only by developing these paddy fields can he completely win over the hearts of these people and make them sincerely join the castle tower.

Like a border fortress!

No one would consider that place as their 'home' no matter how long they stayed there.

Anyway, with the changes in the paddy fields, the recently absorbed refugees have all accepted that they belong to the "Castle Tower" instead of refugees with nothing.

Tang Ping also said that the reclaimed paddy fields would be allocated to them for cultivation starting next year, and they only needed to hand over 50% of the harvest.

Fifty-five!

Does that sound excessive?

But if you look at the other noble lords, you will know that he is absolutely generous.

The mainstream in the ninja world is 30:70 or 20:80, and occasionally there is someone who is 40:60 and is called a "kind and generous lord".

Tang Ping would not make the same stupid mistake as other time travelers.

One step to reach your stomach!
If we just give out all the benefits at once, how can we win people's hearts in the future?

Desire is hard to satisfy!

A pinch of kindness, a pinch of grudge!

As a time traveler, he naturally understood these principles.

After returning to the castle tower on the top of the mountain, Uchiha Mei discovered that the original low and dilapidated earth wall had completely disappeared.

Neatly arranged wooden and stone houses appear in the field of vision, giving people a refreshing illusion.

There are even places like "Jusawu" and "grocery store".

It’s only been a little over a month!

If she hadn't been so clear about time, she might have thought she had been away for a few years.

The house was built by Dohei, and the izakaya and grocery store were opened by Honda Chamber of Commerce.

After all, this is where the ninja army is stationed. No matter how poor the ninjas are, their spending power is not comparable to that of ordinary civilians, so it is not surprising that a store like this is opened here.

And various stores are also preparing.

After all, the population here is nearly 10,000 (there were originally several thousand people in Chashan City, which brought several thousand refugees), so there is indeed soil for commercial activities.
