Chapter 390 The 'sincerity' of the Aburame clan!
Reception room!
"I wonder if Elder Zhuanqin has any advice for me?"

Dohei was leaning back on the sofa, and opposite him was Tateishi Koharu, who was sitting upright with her back straight.

"Food, the village is going to purchase a batch of food from the castle tower!"

Knowing Dohei's character, Utane Koharu didn't waste any time and went straight to the point stating the purpose of the trip.

"How much?"

Tang Ping was not surprised at all.

Because before entering the village, when he saw the crops whose yields had plummeted due to the planting of Tenshu No. 1, he was already prepared to destroy the entire village.

"Fifty thousand tons!"

Utane Koharu said the number with some hesitation.

In fact, the psychological expectation is 30,000 tons. As long as we can purchase so much in a short period of time, we can slowly find ways to solve the shortage later.

The quantity is deliberately increased in order to bargain later.

Although the castle tower has an astonishing grain output, the population is also large, and the amount of grain that can be sold should not be too much, so Utane Koharu has no hope of getting 50,000 tons.

As for the River Country, Konoha didn't know about it.

It’s not that they don’t have the power to figure it out, but that they don’t bother to figure it out.

In their opinion, there are only a few other major ninja villages in the entire ninja world that are worthy of their attention. How can a small country like the River Country be worthy of their attention?

So even though everyone knew that the castle tower was causing trouble there, no one seriously investigated it.

This is the arrogance of the Great Ninja Village!

"Sure, 50,000 taels per ton of rice, transportation included!"

Tang Ping nodded without even thinking about it and offered a huge discount.

Yes, it is indeed a huge discount.

The market price of rice is indeed 50,000 taels, but the prerequisite is that it is sold on a small scale.

The ninja world is not the world of explosive productivity that it was before the time travel. Bulk purchases will significantly reduce prices.

When purchasing in bulk in the ninja world, not only is it impossible to lower the price, but merchants may even take the opportunity to raise the price. It is not uncommon for ruthless merchants to directly double the price.

Not to mention, Tang Ping also promised transportation.

Transporting grain is much more difficult than purchasing it. Transporting tens of thousands of tons of grain is a huge problem.

Even for a large caravan, the amount of cargo transported at one time is only around a thousand tons, which shows the efficiency of transportation.

The efficiency of land transportation cannot be compared with that of sea transportation, let alone a means of transportation like a horse-drawn carriage.

With such good conditions, Koharu Utane couldn't handle it, so she asked hesitantly.

"What are your conditions?"

Now that I think about it, there must have been some additional issues, otherwise such favorable conditions would never have been given.

"Just one point!" Dohei raised his finger and said, "In this negotiation with the daimyo, Konoha must support me in taking over the area within the castle tower's defense line!"

Yes, that's why he gave such a big discount.

Do you remember the outposts and sentry lines built on the periphery before the war?

It was not originally prepared for fighting, but for demarcating expansion areas.

But it is not easy to achieve the goal.

After all, once the strength of the castle tower was exposed, neither Konoha nor the daimyo would watch them expand.

Now is an opportunity.

Use negotiation to achieve this goal.

If they use force to seize it, they will be going against the entire ninja world. The current castle tower does not have the strength to overturn the table, so they can only use non-violent means.

"no!"

Utane Koharu subconsciously refused.

The current castle tower is already strong enough. If it is allowed to expand further, Konoha will not be able to survive.

"Really? Then forget about the food order!"

Tang Ping spread his hands.

This time he is determined to defeat Konoha.

The food crisis is so serious that the only way for the other side to solve it is to rely on themselves.

The most important thing is that even if other chambers of commerce can be found to take over this task, there will definitely be "accidents".

They are ninjas, so they have to act in a ninja way.

When Utane Koharu saw Dohei's expression, she instantly understood his plan.

"you…"

But just when I was about to blame, I realized that I had nothing to say.

Because Konoha has done something bad to the castle tower before, especially why the Ninja Army attacked the castle tower this time, others don't know, but do they know?

This was simply because most of the envoys of the joint delegation died in the castle tower.

The point is that the attacker used the "Multiplication of Detonation Talisman Technique", which was clearly a conspiracy by the Root. Therefore, it is difficult to stand on the moral high ground and accuse the other party of doing something dirty to Konoha.

The key is that there is no way to use the village to kidnap the other party, which is very fatal.

If the other party values ​​the village more, then you can use the safety of the village to kidnap the other party.

But the other party just doesn't buy it, and this method is completely useless.

"In fact, the village didn't suffer any loss. After all, those places don't belong to Konoha, right?"

Tang Ping gave a more direct reason.

The place belongs to someone else, do you need Konoha to feel sad for them?

"Deal, but the grain transaction must be completed within six months!"

Utatane Koharu was convinced.

Because what Tang Ping said really makes sense.

That piece of territory never belonged to Konoha, so it was not their turn to suffer any headaches.

Even if you want to restrict the other party's expansion, it is difficult to do anything in this regard. It is better to use this to gain some benefits for yourself.

In other words, the other party's condition was actually just for Konoha not to stop it.

"no problem!"

Tang Ping also made the decision directly.

Given their status, there is no need to worry about breaking their promises, so there is no need to sign a contract or anything like that.

Because both parties have ways to make the other party pay the price if the other party violates its promise.

After everyone left, Tang Ping could no longer control the smile on his face.

In this way, the castle tower finally has room for expansion.

The area of ​​the castle tower has remained unchanged, not because they don’t want to expand, but because there is no room for expansion.

Now, as long as we get this area, it won’t be a problem even if the population reaches one million in the future.

The cities in the ninja world are not densely populated, not because people don't like living in cities.

On the contrary, people yearn to live in prosperous cities.

It's just that due to productivity and various restrictions, the largest city in the ninja world has only a few hundred thousand people.

However, the castle tower will definitely be able to break this limitation in the future and become the first city to have a population of over one million.

By then, nothing in Konoha or Kyoto could be called "prosperous".

But Tang Ping didn't close the door, as if he was waiting for something.

Whoosh!
A sound broke through the air.

A figure appeared in this reception room where no outsiders were present.

The other person was wearing sunglasses and a stand-up collar sweatshirt, wrapping himself up tightly and saying hello at the same time.

"Master Tang Ping!"

The person who came was the chief of the Aburame clan.

Oil girl Zhiwei!

As a 'perfect ninja', he is not only strong in strength, but also has high IQ and EQ. Naturally, he understands that the Aburame clan has no other choice.

Don't think you can rest easy just because you were saved by Sarutobi Hiruzen last time.

Danzo's Root has already set its sights on them, and just because the Hokage can protect them once doesn't mean he can protect them every time.

He didn't take action now because he wanted to wait until he was not in the village. That's why he didn't dare to leave after the last incident.

Later, when he saw an opportunity, he decisively chose to take refuge in the castle tower.

Now that Dou Ping is here, he will naturally come forward to express his stance as soon as possible to prove the "sincerity" of the Aburame clan.

Yes, it is indeed very sincere.

As soon as Tang Ping returned to the village, the other clan leader came to pay a visit secretly. If this was known to others, the Aburame clan would be finished, so the other party took the initiative to hand over the handle to Tang Ping.

Tang Ping was naturally very satisfied with this statement.

"Please rest assured, Chief Zhiwei, I will protect the Aburame tribe!"

He readily gave the assurance.

It’s just the root, let’s deal with it.

It just so happened that the other party had tricked me before, so I took this opportunity to vent my anger.

Thinking of this, he suddenly stared at Aburame Zhiwei and said:
"Chief Zhiwei, I wonder if you are willing to let your people take a risk so that the problem can be solved once and for all?"

He thought of a way to teach the roots a lesson and get rid of the Aburame clan.

“…I do!”

Aburame Shiwei gritted her teeth and nodded.
