Chapter 432 Finale
"How do you feel?" Amamiya Kenichi took Konan and walked in the land of Water Kingdom. Now the entire Water Kingdom has been included in his control, although there are still some Extremists from the Kingdom of Water would come out to cause trouble from time to time, but it wasn't particularly troublesome.
"Well, it seems that the daily life of the people in the Kingdom of Water has not changed much, but..." Xiaonan looked at the surrounding villagers. The people here lived very normally and did not seem to be affected much by the war. .
But the strange thing is that the people here seem to be in a very relaxed mood. Many people have smiles on their lips when they talk, the kind of cheerful smiles and the happy smiles of children The sound made Xiaonan feel a lot better.
"Here is the list of tax items for each year before the Land of Water." Amamiya Kenichi casually handed over a document bag. The thick document bag made Xiao Nan feel a little confused after receiving it. , doesn’t it mean taxation item table? Why is it so thick?
"What taxes do people from the land of water have to pay from birth?" Amamiya Kenichi sat on the guardrail nearby, and then said to himself, as if he was asking, but he It's like telling something.
Konan's hands shook unconsciously. She seemed to know what Amamiya Kenichi was going to say.
“You don’t need to pay taxes when you are born, but you need to pay [Nutrition Tax] afterwards to get care from your mother. After that, you need to pay [Population Tax] once a year. If you want to test whether you have ninja qualifications, you can also You need to pay a [testing fee], and if you can't become a ninja, you need to start helping the family."
"You also have to pay [seed tax], [land use tax], and [land maintenance tax] when you buy seeds. ], even if you water your own fields, you have to pay [water pipe old depreciation tax]." Amamiya Kenichi had a sarcastic smile on his face.
The Kingdom of Water is obviously one of the five major countries. It stands to reason that the people here should live a relatively good life, but in fact this kind of good life is more like a kind of good life obtained after careful calculation.
People's living standards are tightly controlled by the Daimyo and Kage. Their lives are not very good, but they are not too bad either. They can keep you fed and alive without having to revolt without a way out.
Coupled with the force deterrence of the ninjas, even if someone is dissatisfied with the world and wants to change the world, an ordinary genin will be a difficult opponent for them to deal with.
Oh.
After Amemiya Kenichi captured the Land of Water, he got the tax form from the Daimyo of the Land of Water. When he first got it, his expression was the same as Konan's. He didn't expect that it was just a tax item. They all have such a thick knot.
The charges for one tax item are not very high, but if you add up all these scattered items, it is a terrifying number. Especially farmers who are engaged in agricultural planting do not save much money every year.
“In this way, the greedy vampires are still not satisfied. They will even hire some people to cause trouble and even release some pests, so that these people who are struggling to live have to use their savings to pay ninjas. This formed a mission." Amamiya Kenichi looked at the family of four busy in the field, his eyes wandering.
Amamiya Kenichi was curious before, are there really so many missions in the ninja world? Do you need a ninja to find a cat? Do you even need help from ninjas to harvest crops? For most people who live in poverty, they often choose to do this kind of thing themselves, or a village helps each other.
This is a very normal operation, but in the ninja world, everything becomes different. Collecting a sweet potato or something will become a task and become a piece of paper in the task center of every village.
If a person has enough food and clothing every day, but still does not gain weight, then it is not due to external factors, but because there are too many parasites in the body that suck too much blood, so he will definitely not gain weight.
The ninja world has formed a complete ecosystem.
The daimyo rules ordinary people, and the kage and daimyo have equal status, but have higher real power. The daimyo is responsible for cleverly creating a name, sucking blood crazily, and then using money in exchange for the shadow's military protection. Under such a system, unless the kage intends to do something, ordinary ordinary people Man cannot do anything.
Just a genin of Sasuke's level is a dimensionality-reducing blow to ordinary people. You can't tell whether the opponent is a clone, and there is no way to face the ninjutsu attack of the genin. Although the Go Fireball Jutsu is ridiculed as a ninjutsu that never kills anyone.
But for ordinary people, it is a terrifying ninjutsu that will be completely wiped out if the firepower is increased, let alone those higher level ninjutsu.
Under such a cruel rule, people naturally have no way to resist and can only succumb to the system and live a miserable life. It is not surprising that a serious illness will directly return to the poverty line.
The most frightening thing is that such a system has been formed very quickly since the establishment of the Ninja Village. Even after three Ninja World War, the situation of the Ninja World has not changed at all.
Naruto's comics tell the bond and stories between a group of ninjas, but what about ordinary people? Who cared? They are just background in the comics.
"." Xiaonan was silent. She thought of her past with Yahiko and Nagato, the purpose of the establishment of the Akatsuki organization, and Yahiko's glowing eyes and that childish-sounding expression. dream.
"The world is sick, and I have brought good medicine." The figure of Amamiya Kenichi became more and more overlapped with Yahiko's in Konan's eyes. At this moment, she seemed to really see her good friend Yahiko reappear. in this world.
Amamiya Kenichi squinted his eyes. This crazy world not only belongs to ninjas, but also to ordinary people. If Amamiya Kenichi himself does not have a system, he is just an ordinary person. Could it be that ordinary people are just ordinary people? Can we only live in such numbness?
"My name is Konan." Konan spoke, and Amamiya Kenichi was stunned for a moment. Of course he knew Konan's name, but Konan had never introduced her name so proactively before, so Amamiya Kenichi They all call Xiaonan by the other party's code name in the organization.
"My name is Amamiya Kenichi." Amamiya Kenichi showed a smile. It seemed that Xiaonan understood what he meant and was willing to further cooperate with him. This was a good thing.
Xonan's talent is very good, especially the
God's Paper Skill. This is so cheating. She made 600 billion detonating symbols look like the sea. Who can withstand it? And Amamiya Kenichi suspects that this has something to do with Konan's ability. Otherwise, what is the concept of 600 billion detonating talismans?
Kakuzu joins the Akatsuki organization and earns money and urinates blood every day. He may not be able to earn this huge amount. The price of the detonating charm is not particularly cheap. Even if it is calculated at three hundred taels a piece, then It is also an extremely scary number.
Even if the wholesale price of detonating talismans can be a little cheaper, it can't be much cheaper, but Xiaonan opened his mouth and saw 600 billion detonating talismans, which is too scary.
"Chief. I will mention the matter here to the leader later. Maybe our cooperation will be closer by then." Konan glanced at Amamiya Kenichi, hesitated, and finally decided Deciding to let Nagato decide whether to tell Amamiya Kenichi his name or not.
"Well, I'm sorry to bother you." Kenichi Amamiya took Xiaonan and continued walking towards a place she had chosen before, and also passed several villages on the way. The people in these villages were in a good mood. look like.
"I'm curious, what did you do?" Xiaonan couldn't help but take another look at Amamiya Kenichi. She was a little curious about what Amamiya Kenichi had done, and why she always felt that these people were watching You seem very happy? "Actually, I didn't do anything." Amemiya Kenichi scratched his head. Although he was good at doing some research, he really didn't know how to formulate tax rules. After all, there was a specialization in the art industry, right?
So Amamiya Kenichi just asked the people who formulated the taxation in the capital of Water Country to come over, and then held a simple small meeting for them. He only needed to put forward his own ideas and let them modify them as soon as possible. .
Of course, in order to prevent these bastards from fooling themselves, Amamiya Kenichi implanted parasites into them, so that they can do their best for themselves.
"This is the tax policy of this country called Yanguo." Amamiya Ken handed a thin document bag to Xiaonan, Xiaonan took it blankly, and she looked at it The document bag in my hand is very light.
It’s very heavy.
"Most of the redundant tax items have been removed, and the current taxes are very normal." Amamiya Kenichi casually explained that part of the taxes from the Kingdom of Water are provided to Kirigakure Village As military expenditure, a large part was retained by the daimyo himself.
Only a very small part of it is used for people's livelihood infrastructure, and even the Daimyo is not satisfied. This beast is still collecting some 'taxes' from companies and wealthy people to support his enjoyment.
Amamiya Kenichi saw a toilet made of pure gold in the daimyo's bedroom.
"So." Xiaonan compared the two document bags. They were obviously so light, but for some reason, at this moment, they seemed so heavy in her hands, as if the entire Kingdom of Water It's like all the land is pressed here.
"So it's equivalent to each household spending less." Kenichi Amamiya gave a relatively easy-to-understand explanation. Listening to this heavy number, Xiaonan felt a little dizzy, and she even staggered when walking. After a moment, he finally didn't fall to the ground.
She suddenly understood why these people were smiling so happily. After all, the heavy burden on her body suddenly dissipated a lot at this moment.
"But will this affect Ninja Village?" Xiaonan noticed a problem.
"No, in fact, military expenditures will not occupy much at all. If a country's military expenditures account for a high proportion, then either the country is at war, or the country intends to launch a war." Amamiya Kenichi shook his head. Shake his head.
Like a beacon in a previous life, military spending generally only accounts for 3.2% of GDP.
Konan didn’t understand very well, but she was even more surprised when she heard that there was no impact. After all, if it had no impact, then how much burden did Amemiya Kenichi reduce the burden on the people of the Land of Water? ?
"Actually, managing a country is not an easy task. It is difficult for one person to manage it." Kenichi Amamiya sighed. The Kingdom of Water does not look big, but what's inside is There is also a large population, and it is really torture to have so many things piled up on one person every day.
It is even more difficult to prevent corruption.
But fortunately, Amamiya Kenichi has his own special method. During this time, he asked Fenghua Xiaoxue to summon the consuls of various towns in the Kingdom of Water to come to the capital to report on their duties. During the report, he also asked the ANBU Collect the political achievements of these guys.
Process a group, keep the capable ones, and let them accept the gifts. After accepting the gifts, these guys will not be able to be corrupt.
So Amamiya Kenichi is confident that the Kingdom of Water will develop better and better in the future.
And such a template can be applied to larger territories in the future. With parasites, the physical fitness of these archons will be improved, which can be regarded as a benefit.
"This terrible world should also come to its end." Amamiya Kenichi sighed.
"Let's go, let me go check out the location of the base." Xiaonan let out a sigh of relief. Although I don't know how Amamiya Kenichi will manage it in the future, at least Amamiya Kenichi is doing a good job now.
"So, what attitude should we have towards the Kingdom of Water now?" And in Konoha's new Hokage Building, the argument continued.
"If the other party is really willing to be included in our territory of Konoha, I think we should find a way." Koharu put forward his own opinion.
“But what if what Amamiya Kenichi said is a lie?” Mito Monobu was a little hesitant. The devil turned out to be Amamiya Kenichi. This is a bit surprising, but is this news true? ? If it was a lie, wouldn't Konoha be besieged by other ninja villages? Even the great names of the Fire Nation may react violently.
Tsunade pinched her eyebrows. Just as she thought, she was still caught in such an argument, but there was nothing she could do about it. After all, this matter was a major event involving the entire Ninja Village. Although she It's Hokage, but it needs to be carefully considered.
Tsunade looked out the window, feeling a little tired. She regretted agreeing to become Hokage. This position is really not for people. If possible, she still wants to be the Tsunade who enjoys life. After knowing this news, he can rush to the Kingdom of Water to beat up Kenichi Amemiya without any scruples.
But
Tsunade sincerely felt what it means to be unable to control oneself. Some things are really difficult to make decisions regardless of the circumstances. The more burdens you carry, the harder it becomes.
"I hope Jiraiya can go smoothly." Tsunade gritted her teeth. She thought of that day, the night before Jiraiya left. She talked to Jiraiya all night, and she also He took a gamble on whether Jiraiya could come back alive.
She won.
