Start farming in Konoha

On the other side, Xu Qiang also discussed with Senju Hashirama that the money he had used by Konoha Village over the years would be paid back in 1000 years worth of 10 million taels of gold, and Xu Qiang's property would also be handed over. In his hand.

After these things were explained clearly, Xu Qiang and Qianju Zhujian both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can we go back now?" Xu Qiang asked.

"Of course, after all, Konoha Village has already compensated Loulan Country for what happened last time. They have no reason to continue to detain you," Senju Hashirama replied.

Xu Qiang felt better after hearing this, and then started chatting with Senju Hashirama about other topics, "Is your strength still improving now?"

Hashirama shook his head and said, "When your strength reaches my level, it can be said to be extremely difficult to go further. It would be good if you don't regress, but Madara has made a lot of progress."

When Xu Qiang heard this, he immediately got excited and asked, "What kind of progress is it?"

"Once, Madara attacked the Kingdom of Earth and was besieged by the second-generation Tsuchikage Mu, along with three other Kage and Jinchūriki. There were nearly 3 Kage-level masters on the battlefield at that time. Madara was severely injured. Fortunately, I arrived in time. I rescued him, and then I used Yang-type chakra to heal his injuries. Unexpectedly, soon after, Madara actually awakened the legendary samsara eye. With the samsara eye, now Madara's strength is still above mine." Senju Hashirama said happily that he valued the progress of his friends more than himself.

And Xu Qiang didn't expect that after going around and around Uchiha Madara still opened the Rinnegan Eye, but that's fine. If he opened the Rinnegan Eye, then Black Zetsu must be by Uchiha Madara's side. If he wants revenge, he can get revenge just by being by Uchiha Madara's side. Don't be afraid that you won't be able to wait for Hei Jue.

Later, Hashirama told Xu Qiang about some of the conditions in Konoha Village. The Ninja clan, which has now transformed into capitalists, has gone too far. Xu Qiang thought that he brought Konoha Village into industrialization. At that time, the workers were treated well. , working 8 hours, with weekends and sick leave, and the salary was also very high. At that time, the income of an ordinary worker was equivalent to that of a genin, and the salary of a skilled worker was better than that of a chunin. Therefore, in Konoha Village at that time, workers It's an enviable job.

But now, because there are so many farmers entering Konoha Village, there is no shortage of workers, so the treatment of low-skilled workers has begun to become very poor. Not only do they have to work 12 hours a day, but they also don’t have double sick leave or anything like that. Now, many workers have died of illness in such a hard working environment, and the salary of skilled workers has also dropped to the level of barely earning a living.

Senju Hashirama couldn't stand this situation, so he used the Senju family's funds to open some factories, hoping to improve the workers' treatment, so he treated everything in line with the rules set by Xu Qiang, but Senju Hashirama, who did not understand the operation of capital, did not get good results, because capital operation has its own inherent principles. A conscientious capitalist like him generally cannot defeat the black-minded capitalists who can continuously lower costs.

Just like in the first industrial era, the Swedish textile industry capitalists were so evil that workers would die of illness after working for 5 years. However, they were not as good as the British capitalists because they were so evil that workers would die of exhaustion in just 3 years. So in the end, the Swedish textile industry Completely overwhelmed by the British textile industry.

So the consequence of Senju Hashirama's actions was that the factory lost more than 100 million taels. In the end, the Senju family was unwilling to hand over the money to Senju Hashirama, so the factory went bankrupt and closed, and he himself became a ninja. a laughing stock.

But even with such black-hearted capitalists, the capitalists of Konoha Village cannot compete with the capitalists of the Country of Wind. As long as it is a machine invented by Konoha Village, the Sand Ninja Village can immediately copy it if it buys it, and the machine is better than the machine of Konoha Village. Not only is it cheaper, but its performance is also better than that of Konoha Village. A little bit Konoha Looks like a knockoff.

So in terms of pure industrial strength, the Wind Country where the Sand Ninja Village is located is the most powerful in the Ninja World. This is something Xu Qiang never expected. Unexpectedly, in the anime, the Great Ninja Village is almost the weakest in the Ninja World. Now It is indeed the second largest ninja village after Konoha Village. Apart from Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, the two powerful plug-in level combatants, Konoha Village is no longer as powerful as Sand Ninja Village.

Xu Qiang thought about it. Most of the ninjas in the Sand Ninja Village were puppet players. Now they are equally proficient in playing machines. After all, they are almost the same, but the material is replaced by iron. It is much better than that in the Leaf Village. You have to imagine and compare. Konoha Village is like the United Kingdom before World War I, while Sand Ninja Village is like Germany. Although Konoha Village is still stronger than Sand Ninja Village, it has fallen behind technologically.

Therefore, when Uchiha Madara was in power, in order to preserve the market of Konoha Village, Uchiha Madara raised tariffs on the other four major countries and prohibited their products from entering the markets of the Land of Fire and its affiliated small countries.

And this is also the reason why the four major ninja villages have formed an alliance. You must know that Uchiha Madara has closed the market to nearly 4 million people, which is nearly half of the population of the ninja world. The other four major countries combined barely have such a large population, so they have to Form an alliance and unify the markets of the four major countries. Otherwise, they will not be able to compare with Konoha Village. You must know that their own country only has a market of more than 6000 million people at most. If they are still divided, it is better to surrender like Konoha Village.
