Chapter 229: A Country Bumpkin Comes to the City
The appeal of Wuyin Village was first conveyed to the front line of Yangquanzhou (formerly the Kingdom of Tang), and then passed to Yandu, the current capital of Guining.
On that day, the Yangquanzhou front line received the news, allowing Kirigakure ninjas to go to Yandu Guining.
On January 5th of the Mao Shen Calendar, a group of people from Wuyin Village and the southern army of the Guining Army who were responsible for the reception disembarked from Heiwa and officially landed in Guiningxian Dynasty.
"Is this a black hole?" The third Mizukage looked at the busy pier in front of him, and the rows of buildings behind the pier, the flat streets, the wide roads, the busy shops on both sides of the road, and the flow of people coming and going on the street, with a look on his face. of curiosity.
"The geographical location is correct, but this town has changed a lot!" Yuanshi behind the third generation of Mizukage sighed: "I once came here to perform a mission when I was young. At that time, this was just a small mountain village. I didn't expect how many times it would come. In the past ten years, it has developed into this!"
"Master Yuanshi, this village has not developed in the past few decades!" Next to Master Yuan, a young man interrupted: "I only came here on a mission the year before last, and it was also a small fishing village at that time!"
Next to the young man, a girl with long dark orange hair nodded: "Yes, I remember it very clearly!"
"In other words, this town developed within this year!" Master Yuan was a little confused: "What speed is this?"
There are not many people from Hidden Mist Village in this group.
The third generation Mizukage of Kirigakure Village, the third generation Mizukage disciple Goju Yagura, the elder Genshi, Yukikaze, the leader of the Snow Clan, Terumi Yu, the leader of the Terumi Clan, and Ao, the representative of the young ninja.
There is also an only child, Mei Terumi.
Chief Kaguya originally wanted to come, but the people in Kirigakure Village were afraid that he would go crazy during the meeting, so they kept him.
As for the leader of the Ghost Lantern clan, the teeth of the Ghost Lantern clan are a bit scary, but they are fine when used in battle. A grin can scare the opponent.
But it would not be good if he was taken out to see the world. What if the people of Guining were frightened and things changed.
A group of seven people walked out of the pier, and after walking for a while, they probably understood why this town was developing so fast.
Because this town is full of construction sites and busy people everywhere.
Among these busy people were not only civilians, but also ninjas, but they were not wearing forehead protectors.
Seeing a ninja pushing a large cart of bricks up a slope of more than ten meters in one breath, several people were stunned.
"Well, why are there still ninjas working here?" Xuefeng couldn't help but asked: "Didn't it mean that the ninjas of the Guining Immortal Dynasty no longer have a mission system?"
Hinata Arata, who was with them, had appeared earlier. He had been undercover with Danzo for two years and preserved a large amount of evidence against Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi. Although these evidence were not used to bring down Hiruzen Sarutobi, But it played a big role in stabilizing people's hearts in the later period.
He is also Ning Yuan's uncle, and he is the first person to be attracted by Ning Yuan.
"The Guining Immortal Dynasty indeed no longer has a mission system!" Hyugaxin said: "We have prepared two paths for ninjas. One is the military and political path. The army, security department, discipline inspection department, and intelligence department all require the participation of a large number of ninjas. These The department only needs to study for a period of time and then take an exam, and you can basically enter!”
"The other path is the path of civilians. You only need to report it to the security department, and the ninja can use his strength to make money. He can work as a merchant guard, deliver express, or work part-time in the society!"
"The same goes for you Kirigakure!"
Xuefeng nodded and said: "But if you can get into politics, no one would want to work part-time. This is still the kind of job."
He pointed at the ninja who was still moving bricks, even though he was doing it quickly and well.
Hinata Xin was a little speechless, but he still felt it was necessary to explain, otherwise he would have thought that we were squeezing ninjas from the Guining Immortal Dynasty.
"This ninja is a bit special. His name is Matt Dai. He is a physical ninja. He is very strong, but he may be a little behind in his studies!" Hinata Xin said: "Our various departments in the Guining Immortal Dynasty have a rule. It’s called “Everyone must take the exam”, which means that no matter what department you want to get into, you must take the exam!”
"Many departments value Matt Dai's ability and hope he can join, but his test scores have never been very satisfactory."
"Uh..." All Kirigakure were inexplicably speechless, so for this reason, an excellent ninja moved bricks outside?
"Actually, don't underestimate the job of moving bricks!!" Hinata Xin said: "Ordinary people can only earn 100 yuan a day moving bricks. He has good physical fitness and can move more, and he can earn 500 yuan a day! If you work 20 days a month, that’s 10,000 yuan!”
"Ten thousand taels is not much!" Terumi You said.
"I forgot to tell you that we in Guining have carried out currency reform and introduced a new currency. One yuan now is as good as one hundred yuan in the past!" Hinata took out a light cyan note from his pocket and handed it over.
Terumi Mei grabbed it and saw that the quality of this banknote was much better than the previous banknotes, both in terms of paper quality, printing, and pattern.
The kind of money before always felt like it was easy to be imitated, but now this kind of paper and pen not only has a complicated shape, but also has a gold thread interspersed on it.
Moreover, when you hold the banknote up high, you can see a petal-like pattern printed on the blank space.
On the front of this bill, there is a picture of a young man, with a line of words written above his head: Guining Xianchao Bank, and below it is January 1, 1027.
In the upper left corner and the lower right corner are two identical numbers: 100.
Next to the numbers, there are a few strange dots, which feel uneven.
"This person, can't be Hyuga Ningyuan!" Terumi Mei asked curiously.
"Be careful with your words!" The Third Mizukage hurriedly reminded: "How can you call him by his name? You should call him the Great Lord or the Immortal Lord!"
"It doesn't matter!" Hyuga Shin reminded on the side: "Ningyuan doesn't care about this, he likes others to call him by his name! But it's better not to bring the surname, he doesn't like the surname Hyuga, and our clan is still thinking about whether to change the surname!"
"Uh." The Third Mizukage understood why Ningyuan didn't like the surname Hyuga, it's all written in the book.
But changing the surname for this, isn't it too exaggerated?
But then I thought, if someone in my family unified the ninja world, let alone changing my surname, it's not impossible for me to take his surname!
"Ningyuan!" Mei Terumi looked at the boy on the banknote seriously. Although it was just a picture on the banknote, she could still see the boy's handsomeness.
Of course, she knew why her father brought her to Guining. To be honest, she didn't like forced marriages, even if the other party was Guiyuan Xianjun.
However, after seeing the portrait on the banknote, Mei Terumi felt that it was not impossible to consider it?
She was sighing at Ningyuan's handsomeness, while the other Kirigakure were sighing at Might Dai's high efficiency in making money.
One month, 20 days, 10,000 yuan, equivalent to one million taels in the past, what a concept!
In peacetime, there are basically no S-level and A-level tasks for the jonin to do. The tasks that the jonin can perform are generally B-level and C-level tasks.
After completing the task, it has to be shared with the village and the team members. In the end, it may take half a year to a year for a jonin to earn one million.
If you are unlucky, you may not make enough money in one or two years.
Now, it only takes one month!
From this point of view, moving bricks is not unacceptable!
"If you can make so much money moving bricks, wouldn't you make more money in the military and political circles?" Yagura asked curiously.
His personality is not extreme when he is not controlled by Madara-sama. Instead, he is a naive and kind person.
Hinata Shin shook his head: "That's not the case. A monthly salary of more than 10,000 is the level that can only be achieved at the state level!"
"Ah?" Yagura was at a loss: "The military and political circles make so little?"
"Entering the military and political circles is not for getting rich!" Hinata Shin rolled his eyes and said: "Although the military and political people have low salaries, they have many hidden benefits, such as food, education, medical care, etc. Of course, you may not understand what I said, but you will know after you enter!"
"Can we enter too?" Xuefeng asked excitedly.
Why do they fight so fiercely in the Hidden Mist Village? Isn't it because of the struggle for power and profit!
If you let our Snow Clan send out a Mizukage, we will definitely not fight!
I didn't expect that what I didn't achieve in the Hidden Mist Village could be achieved after returning home?
"Of course!" Hinata Arata nodded: "But the premise is that you have to pass the exam, and at this stage it's just an exam. When there are more graduates in the future, academic qualifications will become a hard requirement!"
"It doesn't matter!" Xuefeng waved his hand freely: "We, the Snow Clan, are not afraid of studying and taking exams!"
The Snow Clan's ice escape has the effect of calming distracting thoughts, which is equivalent to always having a passive "Ice Heart Sutra", which makes it easy for the people of the Snow Clan to enter a state of concentration.
This passive effect on learning is so great that as long as the students of the Snow Clan enter the Ninja School, they are often the first in the grade.
If the Guining Xianchao really judges heroes by their studies, then the Xuefeng Clan will really take off.
Terumi You is also very confident. The people of the Terumi Clan are born smart. Although they are not as good as the Snow Clan in general, there will occasionally be geniuses who surpass the Snow Clan.
Only Kujitachi Yagura, Qing, and the Third Generation Mizukage are worried.
If they only look at the exams, they can't guarantee the development of their descendants. After all, IQ is very dependent on fate.
But it's actually okay. If they don't look at the exams, and only look at talent and strength as before, then children from ordinary families have no chance.
"By the way, what level is the shadow of the Hidden Mist Village?" Xuefeng suddenly asked again.
Hyuga Shin saw that the patriarch of the Snow Clan was an official fan.
But it doesn't matter. As long as you join the Guining system, you have to serve the people.
You dare to embezzle yourself. The people in the Discipline Inspection Commission are not vegetarians.
Their promotion depends on catching corrupt officials.
Moreover, the highest leader of the Discipline Inspection Commission is one of the seven star committees, which means that the Discipline Inspection Commission has a very hard face and it doesn't work to talk to anyone.
"Town or city level!" Hyuga Shin said. Seeing that Xuefeng was still a little confused, Hyuga Shin thought for a while, then pointed at Terumi Mei and said, "How old is she this year?"
"9 years old!" Terumi Mei replied.
"9 years old, the same age as Ning Yuan!" Hinata Arata seemed to have seen what Terumi was thinking.
But he had no say in this matter, so there was no need for him to say anything.
"At 9 years old, she should be in elementary school. If she is smart, she can start from junior high school, 3 years of junior high school, 3 years of high school, 4 years of college, and graduate at about 19 years old. If she goes to a good university and her grades are good enough, she can become a seed-level cadre upon graduation, and can serve as the head of a town!"
Head of a town!
Xuefeng took a breath of cold air. If he remembered correctly, Hinata Shin said before that the Kage of the Hidden Mist Village was only a town-level one!
In other words, a child only needs to study well enough, and does not need to look at any talent or combat power, and can serve as the head of a village at the age of 20.
In this comparison, what is the Mizukage?
"Hey, what is that?" Qing's exclamation interrupted Xuefeng's thoughts.
Xuefeng looked up and found that there was a large square in front of him, which was full of square cars with doors on the cars. At this time, people were getting up and down on the doors.
"That's called a bus!" Hinata said, "It's a means of transportation. We have to take this kind of car to go to Yandu, but we are taking a special car for the Xian Dynasty!"
In fact, the special car for the Xian Dynasty can drive directly into the dock, but Hinata deliberately wanted to let these bumpkins see the market, so he took them around the town.
Looking at their stunned looks, the effect is really good.
Not long after, the seven people from Kirigakure saw the so-called special vehicles for the Xian Dynasty.
These vehicles are not square, but high in the middle and low at both ends. It's hard to describe what they look like.
There are eight such cars, seven people took three, and the remaining five were two in front and three in the back, surrounding them.
"I thought we were going to walk over!" Terumi Mei sat on the soft seat, still a little afraid to move, for fear of damaging the seat.
Terumi You was brave. While looking at the driver driving in front, he studied various instruments. With the learning ability of a ninja, he quickly understood how the car was operated.
The two pedals below are one for acceleration and one for deceleration.
The one in the hand controls the direction, and the one on the right controls the total speed.
This thing is pretty good, it's very comfortable to sit in, and it looks fun to drive.
Although it's not as fast as a ninja, it can avoid wind and sun!
"This, a car? Can we buy it?" Terumi asked curiously.
"This kind of car has just been developed and is still in the small-scale production stage!" The driver in front said: "So private individuals can't buy it. It is only supplied to public transportation and military and political departments for the time being!"
"In other words, you can buy it in the future?" Terumi said.
Driver: "Maybe!"
Terumi nodded and looked out the window again. He found that it seemed that buying a car alone would not work, and a smooth road had to be paved.
Otherwise, with the road conditions in the Water Country, it would be impossible to drive!
I don't know how this road was built. It's so long. Was it done by a ninja? Or an ordinary person?
When will it be the turn of the Water Country to build a road?
Wait, if the Hidden Mist Village is gone in the future, is there any need for us to stay in the Land of Water?
Can our Terumi clan just move to the mainland to live?
