Chapter 511: Don't agree? Let's start a war
!
In front of the Hokage Building, a space gate suddenly opened, and Shiro and Tiezhu, who had sent Kushina home, walked out.
Tiezhu looked up and down at Shiro's clothes that had become tattered due to the battle, and raised his eyebrows: "This is an important meeting after all, just wear it and ignore what I said. You, all you do is study some weird ninjutsu."
Tiezhu originally saw Shilang preparing to attend the meeting wearing the clothes that had become tattered due to the battle. Just when he was about to say something to him, he saw a flash of chakra on Shilang's body, and a clean and tidy Tang suit instantly appeared.
He shook his head, laughed and cursed a few times, and walked towards the meeting room with the laughing Shilang.
"Sorry, I was so focused on training that I forgot the time. It shouldn't be too late, right?" After entering the meeting room, Shiro glanced at everyone in the meeting room who had slightly unhappy expressions, and said casually.
"That's good. I just got to the point. You didn't like the previous part anyway. I'll ask them to prepare a copy for you later. Please sit down first." Minato, who was sitting in the first seat, nodded to Shiro and the others, motioning them to take their seats.
After Shiro and Tiezhu took their seats, Minato crossed his hands, resting them on the table, slightly covering his chin, and continued:
"Everyone is here, so let's talk about the main issues of this meeting. At present, the domestic construction of the Puppet Air Road and Land Road has been basically completed, according to our communication with the Daimyo.
Our next strategic plan is to continue increasing investment in this area and extend both air and land routes to other countries. The village seems to have a lot of opinions on this, so at this meeting, everyone should share their reasons."
After Minato finished speaking, Shiro glanced at everyone in the conference room. He had also heard about this incident, and it was quite serious.
It can be said that in the huge Konoha, only the Uchiha who was eager to change and the Hyuga who had lived for a thousand years stood on Minato's side. The rest, including the Third Hokage and Ino-Shika-Chou, all denied this plan.
But it's not their fault. After all, the funds needed to lay the two roads are an astronomical figure, although this money is actually drawn from the profits of the already laid air and land roads, plus funding support from the daimyo.
They don't have to pay a penny, so logically they should have no objection. Unfortunately, the bill is not calculated that way.
You know, if there is no follow-up plan, then most of the profit will be theirs.
This is no small sum. Ever since the construction of the air and land roads began, the profits it has brought to Konoha are enormous! Although this is a place where money is spent, it is also a treasure trove. Konoha's territory has expanded almost by a circle, and this money has contributed greatly to it.
And this is just a fraction of what is needed to develop the air-land plan!
Therefore, facing this piece of fat, except for the two powerful families of Uchiha and Hyuga, there is no family in Konoha that is not tempted.
Even though they knew the ultimate goal of this plan, they were reluctant to give up this piece of fat meat.
How should I put it? I can't blame them. After all, they are the ninja clan. For them, family always comes first, village second, and then country.
Therefore, Shiro understood their behavior very well, of course, this did not mean that he agreed with it.
It doesn't matter if they are short-sighted, but if this interferes with his plans, then there will be a problem!
This was also the reason why he left his training and experiments to participate in the boring meeting. At this time, while Shiro was still thinking, someone spoke.
"Hokage-sama, I don't think we need to make such a large-scale investment at the moment. The war has just ended, and we should pay more attention to internal development."
Hearing the voice, Shilang stopped thinking, turned his head and looked over, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then glanced at the third generation who was calm and composed beside him.
The man who spoke first was the head of a small or medium-sized family. Shiro wasn't sure of his name, but he knew he was from the third generation. Therefore, his attitude was quite intriguing.
Sure enough, as soon as this guy finished speaking, a bunch of people immediately opposed the plan. There were people from all factions and all kinds of reasons.
Silang listened roughly and found that the main point remained the same, and they were basically talking about economic issues.
But the opinions of these guys are not important, it's the talent behind them that matters, just like raping a woman.
Even Shiro could see it, not to mention the more politically savvy Minato, so the few people who knew the truth just watched them quietly, waiting for the person behind them to come forward.
"Alright, quiet down for a moment! It's so noisy in this meeting room!"
“.”
After calming down the quarreling people in the conference room, the Third Hokage looked at Minato, holding his pipe in his mouth: "Minato, old man, let me say a few words. Please don't think I'm annoying. We in Konoha really can't stand the turmoil at the moment.
Making the villagers live happier is what a Hokage should do. The wounds the war has caused to the village have not yet healed, and it is not suitable for us to make such a big move. So, I think we should just give up on this plan."
"Sarutobi is right. We Konoha cannot withstand such turmoil. Besides, other countries are not stupid. They can think of what you can think of, so they will not agree to the construction of both air and land roads." Following the third generation, Danzo also spoke gloomily.
Danzo feels that he has a great advantage this time, because it is rare that Sarutobi is on the same side with him. Wouldn't it be easy for him to defeat this young boy Minato?
pity
"What you said is true, Third Hokage, but there is one account that you may not be clear about now that you have resigned." As he said that, Minato pulled out a document from under the table, showed off the Flying Thunder God, and passed it to the Third Hokage.
"This is a summary of the village's post-war financial expenditures. The data shows that we have only consumed less than 30% of the war reparations we received from other countries, and they will give us some every year in the future.
At the same time, because the front line was far away from the village, and the war was relatively safe, the village was not greatly affected. Therefore, after six months of hard work, the village not only regained its pre-war prosperity, but also made considerable profits from tax revenue.
Finally, Minato looked at the Sandai with a gentle smile: "So, Sandai-sama, you don't have to worry at all. This funding will not affect the development of the village at all. Moreover, it is mainly the responsibility of the Daimyo. We are just assisting."
After listening to Minato's words, the third generation looked at the documents in his hand again and finally fell silent.
He was not convinced by Minato. He had many reasons, but Minato had just said that this was the Daimyo's intention. Konoha was, after all, just a military organization of the Land of Fire.
Seeing the Third Hokage give in, Danzo frowned and looked at Minato: "Even if that's the case, they won't agree to this plan!"
"It's okay." Minato put his hands on his chin, still with a gentle smile, "Whoever disagrees, let's go to war."
“!!!!”
