Naruto: Yes, Uchiha-sama.

Chapter 61 The first thing you do after becoming rich is to forget your roots, don’t you agree, Daming?

The most profitable, most lucrative, industries with low technical barriers and the ability to quickly monetize have actually always been closely related to food, clothing, housing and transportation.

For this purpose, Uchiha Makoto specially sent ninjas to conduct on-site investigations.

"Kazuma, let's go sell salt together."

Uchiha Makoto thought for a moment and decided to follow the common actions of time travelers.

Kazuma: “???”

“Salt isn’t very expensive, is it?”

"Now even the poorest people can afford salt."

Kazuma didn't know why Uchiha Makoto suddenly wanted to do the salt business.

But life experience told him.

The price of salt in the ninja world has been very cheap in the past one or two years.

Even if Xiaonin Village participated in the salt business, it probably wouldn't make much money.

"Nonsense, with smuggled salt dealers everywhere, how can salt not be cheap?"

Salt is a necessity in life.

It has been a government monopoly throughout the ages; and for this reason, salt trafficking became an absolutely lucrative business in ancient times.

This is also an important source of financial resources for the government.

But this is the ninja world.

It has its own different national conditions.

Uchiha Makoto has already figured out the situation of the salt market.

Because the class structure in this bizarre Naruto world is so rigid and rigid, several generations, or even more than a dozen generations, have inherited a noble family name. They are truly Celestial Dragons.

The Warring States Period was in chaos for so many years that the daimyo of each country had already lost control over the local areas.

The daimyo and the nobles are just maintaining the same system for their own interests and sucking the blood of the entire ninja world.

According to common sense, this rotten ninja world should have changed dynasties long ago, but this world has ninjas. The rebel army assembled by ordinary people will be wiped out by ninjas like mowing grass.

The ninjas were so outrageous that they had always acted as a protective umbrella for the nobles, resulting in no change in the order of the ninja world for thousands of years.

Because of the various reasons mentioned above, nobles of all sizes have been entrenched in various places for many years, eroding the official power bit by bit.

so many years have passed
The official salt system has long been in name only.

Nobles of all sizes were once openly selling illegal salt, and various underworld organizations were also involved, which led to a very serious problem of illegal salt in the Fire Country.

In recent years, the fierce fighting among the ninja clans has greatly aggravated the chaos in the country, making the salt market even more chaotic, with various black hands and cases of false accounting.

Borers at all levels are also trying to make as much money as possible.

As the war in the ninja world intensified, various controls became disordered and eventually got completely out of control.

Private salt dealers of all sizes began to proliferate, and for a time they were everywhere. The increasingly chaotic private salt situation made the market competition very fierce, and the price of salt spontaneously opened up, embarking on the path of small profits but quick turnover. After all, everyone had to eat salt, so there was no worry about not being able to sell it.

Uchiha Makoto doubted his own eyes when he saw the survey results.

This is really outrageous!

It completely violates normal economic laws and is as outrageously abstract as crude oil treasure.

All I can say is that the ninja world has its own national conditions!
However, Uchiha Makoto believed this situation was only temporary. It was entirely due to the chaotic situation in the ninja world before, which led to a massive war between the ninja clans that ultimately became unbearable even for the Uchiha and Senju clans, their millennia-old rivals. One can imagine...
The order in the ninja world was so bad in the past period of time that it could be said to be completely out of control.

The insects were temporarily unable to control the situation and all hid themselves in hiding. They were really afraid that some ninjas would kill them. Then
This gave many people the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. They began to take risks in order to make money, hoping to make more money during this chaotic time while the big guys were unable to react. To do this, they could manipulate the price of salt.

Now the era of ninja villages has arrived.

The situation gradually stabilized.

The price of salt is expected to continue to rise for some time in the future.

But since the price of salt is so low now, those private salt dealers can still make a profit. After monopolizing the market, even if I still follow the path of small profits but quick turnover, I will definitely be able to make a lot of money. This is nothing more than another round of wealth distribution, transferring the money earned by the insects into my own pocket.

so.
As long as they complete the salt monopoly and regain the market, they will definitely make money. As for how much money they can make, the more evil their hearts are, the more money they will make.

Just think about it.

Uchiha Makoto felt excited.

Moreover, the technical content required is not high, it just requires offending a lot of people.

but.
This is the industry that Uchiha Makoto can think of that can make money the easiest and fastest.

The wages of avarice is death.

"Let's unite with the Daimyo and some of the Fire Nation's great nobles to regain market monopoly. We can share the salt price proportionally and we can discuss it later."

"But what about the other salt merchants and private salt dealers, big and small, in the Fire Nation?"

"Then make them disappear!"

Uchiha Makoto said without any politeness.

It can now be said that Akatsuki Village has money and people, and is an extremely young military group. It can strike hard at those nobles who are powerless and unwilling to cooperate.

It is impossible for me to follow the rules like the traditional ninjas of the Warring States Period.

Traditional ninjas almost never get involved in production and management. They consciously confine themselves to the military field and almost never ask about politics and economics. The Fire Nation pays for missions, and the ninjas work hard to complete the missions. The only difference is that they get extra money according to the difficulty level of the mission.

The Akatsuki Village must speed up its transformation. First of all, its thinking logic needs to change. Maybe the ninjas in the Akatsuki Village cannot understand it, but it doesn’t matter. They just need to obey orders!

So what if we break tradition?
The ninja world has always emphasized that ninjas should learn to obey, but ninjas are also human beings. I can listen to you, but you must at least let me live a good life. So as long as Uchiha Makoto gives enough funds, the ninja clan will do anything!
"Should we give a big name in advance?"

Kazuma was already accustomed to Uchiha Makoto's way of doing things and did not raise any objections. He just felt that such a big matter should be discussed with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire in advance.

"No, let's just use the Daimyo's name to kill a group of competitors first. Some people might die in the process. I'm afraid the Daimyo is a coward and won't dare to do it at first."

"So tie the Daimyo to the car first!"

Uchiha Makoto slammed the table and made the decision.

The first thing to do after becoming rich is to forget your roots!

Now I am the shadow of the village.

Akatsuki Village is no longer the empty shell of a ninja village it used to be. It now has the power to turn against the Daimyo.

Last time, he and he split the tulip business profits 50-50, so the person he should be most grateful to is Hashirama Senju.

Now that Akatsuki Village is doing bad things under the banner of the Fire Nation, he must take the blame, but he has to take the blame whether he wants to or not. If he wants to make money, he has to take the blame!
Konoha can take the blame for Tulip, so why should Daimyo be an exception?
And the Warring States Period lasted for so many years.

The economic situation in the Land of Fire has not been very good. As long as they can make a lot of money, the daimyo will definitely just complain a few times. It's not a bad idea to let him take some of the blame!
I'm afraid that the Daimyoji of the Fire Nation has long wanted to reunify and monopolize the salt market for the sake of taxation, but he just doesn't have the ability to do so. This time, I'm actually helping him.

Akatsuki Village has always liked to take the initiative to help the Daimyo solve his problems!
