Chapter 495 The huge power of the castle tower!

The country of rivers, the country of tea, the Hidden Mist Village!

These places, together with the castle tower, are the real castle tower forces.

To outsiders, the castle tower may seem very powerful, but its territory is not very large. In fact, it is far larger than they imagined.

As for the River Kingdom, it still occupied its previous territory and did not continue to expand.

After all, the two big countries nearby have already set their sights on this, so naturally there can be no unusual movements. Even the Black Oil behind cannot allow the United Fruit Chamber of Commerce of the River Country to step in.

However, the area there did not increase, but the population almost doubled.

There isn't much of anything in the ninja world, but there are a ton of refugees who can't survive.

That is to say, if the transportation is not developed and the distance is too far, the refugees have no way to escape to the areas they control. Otherwise, it would not be difficult for the population to double, let alone increase dozens of times.

In the ninja world, the average number of people who starve to death every year is over 'several million', and this does not include war periods, otherwise the number would be several times higher.

Yes, the death toll is that exaggerated.

That’s why they say life in the ninja world is worthless!

In other words, they give birth to enough children. Otherwise, no matter how large the population is, it will not be able to withstand such a large number of deaths.

And although the population of the River Kingdom only doubled, it actually increased more because they have been sending people to the Tea Kingdom.

Now, in the Tea Kingdom, the number of people they directly control has reached over several million.

Please note that this is the population that directly belongs to the "Castle Tower".

For example, the Tea Country has a population of tens of millions, but these people have nothing to do with the castle tower; they belong to the daimyo and lords of the Tea Country.

Don’t dare to make too big a move!

Although the Tea Kingdom is not like the River Kingdom, which is sandwiched between two big countries, the Fire Kingdom is to the north, so we have to be careful and not reveal too many flaws.

The development of the Tea Kingdom is proceeding step by step. The previously reclaimed land and factories have gradually produced output, which is considered the core production base of their castle tower.

The biggest change is in the 'Mist Village'.

The new Mist Village has been put into use at this time, and because it has been moved to the seaside, supplies for the castle tower can be transported directly there, saving a lot of energy and time.

The countless supplies from the castle tower no longer need to be sucked dry by countless local bullies. They can be directly transported to the Mist Village and then distributed to the Water Kingdom from here.

Huge profits fall from the sky!

In the past, the Mist Ninjas were so poor that they had to resort to introversion, so they chose the elite route and earned a fierce reputation as the 'Village of Blood Mist'.

They actually don't want to, but there is no way. Ninjas consume too many resources. When the resources cannot support so many people, they will naturally have to fight internally.

it's good now!

With this huge profit, the Mist Ninjas can now stand up straight, and there is no longer a limit on the number of ninjas. As long as they are qualified, they can be trained.

These benefits made the Mist Ninja ecstatic.

Because they can enjoy these profits.

Coupled with the basic salary and various benefits after registration, they have become loyal supporters of the castle tower.

It cannot be said that they are not loyal to the village, but rather that the former Mist Village was really not worthy of their loyalty.

Now that the castle tower has been conquered, they are living a life that they never dared to imagine before.

Every time supplies were distributed, the shrine maidens would distribute them in the name of the castle tower, and every detail showed the benefits of joining the castle tower.

So, it’s not surprising that these Mist Ninjas are leaning towards the castle tower, because they really give them benefits!

Especially the young ninjas were brainwashed by the will of the scorching sun and became in the shape of the castle tower.

Of course, there were some troubles.

The nobles of the Water Kingdom were extremely dissatisfied.

Because if you play with the castle tower like this, you're taking food away from them!
In the past, in order to transport supplies to the Water Country for sale, in addition to managing the ninjas along the way, it was more important to manage these nobles, as most of the profits fell into their hands.

But now?
Since the Hidden Mist Village became part of the castle tower, the ninjas along the way naturally did not dare to bomb the enemy. At the same time, supplies were distributed in the new Hidden Mist Village, so the nobles had nothing to do with it.

The other party wanted to collect taxes, but he died of illness halfway through, which made the nobles very angry.

The natives have a natural "filter" for the nobles, but that doesn't mean that Dou Ping has the same. He had fought directly with the daimyo coalition before. Now you nobles dare to collect taxes. It's good enough that you didn't let them "commit suicide with 17 kunai in their backs".

You still want to collect taxes? That’s just a dream!

Moreover, the escort of the transport fleet is the responsibility of the Mist Ninjas. If anyone dares to cause trouble, the Mist Ninjas will fight back at all costs, even for their own sake.

Therefore, the nobles had no way to play any tricks.

They do have some power, but it is definitely far less than that of the Mist Ninja.

Only with the Hidden Mist Village in hand can the goods from the castle tower begin to be dumped in the Land of Water.

With their goods, the goods that the nobles smuggled or obtained through cooperation would naturally become difficult to sell, at least they could not be sold at the same high prices as before.

This is why the nobles are determined to cause trouble.

The market is so small, the more you sell, the greater their losses.

Of course, that's not one thing the nobles would consider.

That is, while the castle tower is dumping products, it will also purchase a large amount of specialty products, which can bring a lot of benefits to the Water Country and create a win-win situation.

What the nobles will consider is that you have harmed my "interests". As for bringing benefits to the Water Kingdom, what does that have to do with me?
Therefore, the better the castle tower developed, the more it was destined to be in conflict with the aristocratic class.

After all, other ninja villages are mainly task-oriented, no one does business, and even if they do, they don't play it like this. You, the castle tower, eat alone and take food from our bowls. Who else should we do it to?

In the past, the castle tower would definitely not dare to play it so obviously.

But in the Land of Water, if they don't dare to play like this with the Hidden Mist Village in their hands, they might as well be dogs for the nobles, give the profits to the other side, and beg them to give them some leftovers.

As for whether the Mist Ninjas are willing to obey the orders of the castle tower and fight against the nobles?

The answer is yes!

If those nobles dare to cut off their financial resources, the Mist Ninjas would not mind making them understand what "the truth is only within the range of the kunai" means.

However, Tang Ping only glanced at the profits and profits. His eyes were focused on the things he had reminded him of.

brainwashing!

This is the key.

Whether it is the ninja school or the shrine maidens, they are all spreading the same truth all the time.

Our current happy life is brought by the castle tower. The hard days in the past were all due to the selfishness and incompetence of the former Mizukages.

Yes, Douping crushed the former Mizukage and the top brass to death.

Even though he knew that this would offend a lot of people, he had no choice.

If you don't step on the Mizukage, and position the castle tower as a 'liberator', you can't call yourself an invader, right?

And although stepping on the previous Mizukages will make some people unhappy, such as Nagai Takaomi, Genshi, Terumi Mei and others.

But they were just unhappy. After all, the real owner was lying in the cemetery and it was impossible for him to jump out and refute.

What's more, the changes brought about by the castle tower are completely visible to the naked eye. The current Mist Ninjas are absolutely unwilling to return to the bloody and cruel days of the past.

But it’s not that there are no opponents.

The Master and a group of Mist Ninjas became more and more agitated.

Because they know that the longer time passes, the harder it will be for the Hidden Mist Village to return to its former state.

The conservative...or the unwilling Mist Ninjas, began to take action in secret.

Putting down the information in his hand, Dou Ping looked at Uchiha Mei and said:
"As for the Hidden Mist Village, have the Master contact the nobles and find a way to cause damage. It would be best if we could get evidence of collusion!"

Yes, that was his plan.

And the nobles of the Water Kingdom will definitely step into the trap he has dug.

By then, not only will the hidden dangers of the Hidden Mist Village be eliminated without causing resentment among the Mist Ninjas, but it will also alienate the nobles of the Water Country and the Mist Ninjas.

What a win!
After reading these things, it was already afternoon and some 'uninvited guests' arrived.
