Build the Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 328 Functional Structure of the New State

Uchiha Madara asked: "How do ninjas live in the new country?"

Ba Ye replied: "Just like today's Zhou, ninjas usually receive basic wages for training and duty, bonuses for performing tasks, and pensions for retirement when they are old."

The Senju brothers and Uchiha brothers thought about the information they knew and nodded together: Oh.

Senju Tobirama asked: "How to obtain funds?"

Ba Ye replied: "Establish a tax agency to levy taxes on the citizens of the Land of Fire, such as agricultural tax, land tax, commercial tax, etc."

Senju Brothers, Uchiha Brothers:...

Master Ba waited for a while, only to find four top ninjas looking at him with wide eyes. He suddenly understood that they could not understand what he just said, and they didn't know what to ask.

I turned my head and looked at the jonins who were listening. As expected, they all looked confused and grateful. They were rejoicing: Fortunately, I didn't sit in the middle and embarrass myself.

Master Ba raised his eyebrows. He was very familiar with this situation. Disseminating knowledge to the illiterate was what he had to do every day. When faced with a large group of people who would just smile at you in a daze, but no matter what you said,

Among the people who were confused about everything, Ba Ye went from being crazy, helpless, and crazy at first, to gradually getting used to it, and gradually he found a solution.

You need to pay attention to the way you speak so that people can understand you, and you must always take the lead in your speech. But the real key is the topic. You must firmly grasp the immediate issues that people are most concerned about, and don't deal with frivolous things.

Master Ba began to popularize knowledge to everyone, giving a rough introduction to the basic framework and power structure of the country.

He talked about taxation and finance, how to tax, who to tax, what to use after taxing, and what to do with excess money.

He also talked about who the enemies of the country are, how to deal with them, why ordinary citizens are not enemies of the country, and how ordinary citizens should be treated when they break the law.

He finally talked about the country's power structure, how the supreme leader should be created, how it should be rotated, how its successor should be selected, and how it should be elected.

This is not an in-depth description and does not involve any class divisions or fundamental content such as the relationship between productivity. It is just an ideal constructed by Yaye after analyzing the current ninja world and referring to the Kingdom of Water under the leadership of Tired Bird.

Description of Ninja Nation.

But the ninjas listened with rapt attention. The only voice in the entire venue was Master Ba, who was so quiet that they thought it was too noisy.

Ba Ye finally concluded: "In short, the new country is to serve the most violent ninjas. As long as the country can be run well, it will be like a universal wishing device. No matter what we want, we can get it."

, can all be achieved!”

Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua

More than one hundred and ninety ninjas applauded desperately. They had never had such a clear understanding of their future, and they had never been so full of expectations for the future.

Go to hell with all the famous names and nobles. Next is the era of our ninjas. What we need to build is our ninja country, and what we need to realize is our ninja ideals!

We want to build a country, elect our own leaders, establish our own management system, and collect taxes from the Fire Nation as our own income.

With money, we will build ninja schools to recruit the widest possible range of school-age children for education, select professionals, and cultivate their sense of identity and pride in the country.

loyalty?

Master Ba has already said that there is no need to cultivate it. As long as we maintain the strongest strength and the most prosperous country, loyalty will naturally be born, so there is no need to worry.

With a huge ninja group, we will form the most powerful ninja army and take the initiative to wipe out all resistance forces in the Land of Fire, including ninja families who are unwilling to join, wandering ninjas, bandits, and villains.

When all threats are eliminated, what should we do?

"Sweep across Liuhe, unify the ninja world, and eliminate all sources of turmoil in the ninja world!" Yaye's impassioned voice sounded, "Maybe in our generation, maybe in our children's generation, we will include the entire ninja world.

to come under the rule of a new country."

"Comrades! Our generation grew up in wars and had to develop its own killing skills. I don't know how many people have to desperately pursue power in order to survive, no matter what the means, no matter the cost..."

The Uchiha brothers were devastated, their eyes were as red as rabbits, so watery that they almost shed tears. For the sake of strength, they both gave away the one they loved most with their own hands.

Aburame Shiquan, who has a thin sense of presence, used the cover of sunglasses and a stand-up collared coat to shed tears freely. In order to increase the number of ninjas, every generation of children, even if they have not mastered chakra, will forcibly build a nest when they are six years old.

The child mortality rate has been forcibly pushed to 60%.

Sixty percent, six out of ten children will die, and so many of them die at the age of six. The relationship that has been raised up to this age has long been stable, and every child who passes away is a devastating blow to the parents.

The other ninja clan chiefs and jounin also felt sad.

"There is no need for our next generation. They still have to study killing techniques, chakra and the politics I proposed, but they don't have to work hard to gain a little improvement in power. They can grow up to the age of eighteen step by step, and then

Face this cruel ninja world again."

Yaye's mood also rose: "But the next generation of children will grow up in an era when they have completed their rule over the entire ninja world, and they will not have to study all ninjutsu and chakra."

"They can also study literature, music, and painting like those pretentious nobles. They are free to live according to their own personalities and talents!"

"Ouch——! New country! Unify the ninja world!"

"For the children, for the children!"

The jonins went crazy. They saw a bright future in Yaye's words and a happy life that was completely unimaginable before.

At this moment, they all made up their minds. Fighting to death is definitely an acceptable price for this future.

At this time, anyone who dares to block their way forward will definitely be torn into pieces by them. These are jounin. What they are best at is killing people and they will never use words to criticize their enemies.

Ba Ye's speech is over, and there is no need to vote. The idea of ​​establishing a new country is already the consensus of everyone.

"Second thing, what is the name of our new country?"

As a result, none of the five people, including Ba Ye, had a clear idea. Only Quan Nai asked: "We are the country of fire, can't we just use this name?"

Senju Tobirama gave the reason for his objection: "Of course not. If you directly use the name of the Country of Fire, it will be difficult to distinguish it from the broken country, and it will also be easy to be used by the Daimyo of Fire. The Daimyo is already our enemy, and there is no chance at all.

You can’t leave it to him.”

Master Ba said: "Tobirama is right. Since no one has a suitable idea, let's think about it after we go back."

He smiled and said, "You have to hurry up. If the decision hasn't been made at the next meeting, everyone will have a say. Maybe they can come up with a nice name."

The clan leaders and Jonin who were watching laughed, and some even geared up to seize this opportunity. If they really succeeded, they would have the capital to brag for a lifetime, and they would definitely make their descendants stunned.

Stunned.

If I have a chance to live to old age, and by the way, I still have a pension, I won’t have to go into hiding like my grandparents who struggled to survive when I get old.

This kind of old age life seems... quite worth looking forward to?

He beeps——, if anyone doesn’t want me to live to old age and receive a pension, I will fight to the death!

"The third thing is, our new country's capital is set to be here in the Uchiha clan. Does anyone object?"

This is nonsense. With the construction going on like this, no one wants to move again.

Master Ba had no choice but to explain: "It just needs to be confirmed, even if it's just a procedure."

"Okay, the fourth thing is to discuss and determine the structure of the new country. Well, it seems that I can only propose it and explain it?"

Everyone nodded, signaling Mr. Ba to hurry up and not waste everyone's time.

So Mr. Ba talked about his future national design. It must be noted that this is not a big government.

At this point in time, the Fire Nation simply does not have enough human capital to use such a high-end management method. It can only adapt to local conditions and establish a small government centered on taxation.

But no matter how small the government is, it will not lack the functions it should have.

The first is the leader Hokage, who is set up according to ninja convention, and his office, which serves as the core department of the head of state of the entire country.

Then there is a completely independent tax department, which is directly managed by the village. All taxable tax sources within the scope of national management are managed by the tax department.

In order to make it easier for the tax department to deal with those fools who dare to resist taxes, the department has organized tax ninjas. Just like the Water Kingdom in the original timeline, they are all responsible for the Jonin.

Ba Ye said: "The ninjas who were transferred to the tax department are all absolute elites, that is, some of you here. Please remember that if you can't collect taxes, everyone and your children will starve together. The rest

You guys think for yourself!"

Then there are some less important departments, such as: Ministry of Intelligence, Ministry of Ninja Army, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Agriculture, and Ministry of Transportation.

As the name of the Intelligence Department suggests, all ninjas can understand it, so I won't explain it.

The Ninja Army Headquarters manages the Ninja Army and is responsible for the organization, training, promotion, and retirement of most ninjas. They are also responsible for managing logistics from mines to weapon production, from equipment distribution to damaged recycling.

However, the Ninja Army Headquarters has no command authority over the Ninja Army.

Uchiha Madara was particularly concerned about this. He asked: "With so many ninjas forming a ninja army, who will be in charge of commanding them during battle?"

Ba Ye said: "All command rights are in the hands of the Hokage. During wartime, the Hokage will be directly responsible for the command, or a ninja will be designated to take charge."

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for internal intelligence work, that is, counterintelligence work.

The Ministry of Defense is responsible for the defense and daily vigilance within the national territory, and is also responsible for the protection of important figures. However, during wartime, except for the security work of the leader, other departments are automatically downgraded to auxiliary departments of the Ninja Army to help the Ninja Army.

The Ministry of Justice is responsible for the trial and execution of punishments for captured criminals, and needs to establish courts, prisons and other departments.

The roles of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health are naturally well understood by everyone and require no introduction.

Senju Hashirama was very curious about the role of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Transport. He asked: "Why are these two departments established? It seems to have nothing to do with us?"

Ba Ye glanced at him sideways and raised his chin at Tobirama, meaning you should explain to him.

"Brother, whether we or the people of the Fire Nation, everyone has to eat. To eat, someone must cultivate the land and produce food. As the manager of a country, Hokage must know whether the food production can meet the country's consumption.

"

"Build warehouses to store grain during good harvests, and release the stockpiles to help the people when there were disasters and bad harvests."

"We still have to find ways to increase agricultural production, such as researching high-yielding seeds, researching farming techniques, and building irrigation canals."

"Brother, no matter what we want to do, we must first eat enough."

Senju Hashirama smiled guiltily. He no longer wanted to ask about the Ministry of Transportation. However, Senju Tobirama had been "bullied" by his elder brother for so long. It was rare for him to retaliate against him openly. How could he let him go so easily?

"The functions of the Ministry of Transportation are to clear mountains and cut trees, build bridges and pave roads, and expand rivers. It is not of great use to ninjas in normal times, but it can speed up the flow of materials and reduce the cost of merchants transporting goods."

"But when the ninja army is dispatched, it can ensure the transportation of logistics materials, so that the materials consumed by the ninjas fighting on the front line can be replenished in time."

In the end, Senju Hashirama could only raise his hands to surrender, showing that he was convinced.

Even after being explained, the national structure proposed by Master Ba was still not fully understood by the four spokespersons, so no one raised any objections to it and it was passed directly.

The last line of work is to apportion various departments, put people in this hole first, let them be responsible for construction, and work hard to implement.

As for those who don’t know how to do many jobs, it doesn’t matter. Mr. Ba suggests that you can learn on your own. If you really can’t figure it out, you can find someone knowledgeable to help.

If it still doesn't work in the end, you can ask Master Ba for advice, but you are not allowed to give up your choice, and you have to persevere.

This has frightened a bunch of Jonin. They are all shrinking in fear for fear of being picked. They still don’t understand anything. Who knows which department is fat and which department is poor and cold?

If you step into an unlucky pit, you will be in trouble.

Although everyone was full of enthusiasm and wanted to die for the new country just now, this does not affect everyone's pursuit of advantages and avoidance of disadvantages in the process. We also have to fight for our own interests, right?

Yaye smiled and started making arrangements. He was the first to point to Senju Hashirama and said: "The Hokage is Senju Hashirama, there is no doubt about it."

Then he pointed at Uchiha Madara and said: "Madara is in charge of the taxation department and defense department. Does anyone object?"

The Taxation Department and the Defense Department are the two largest armed forces management departments in peacetime, and Uchiha Madara feels very satisfied.

If he is satisfied, others will naturally not object.

Then he pointed to himself: "I will be in charge of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health. I guess no one will compete with me."

How can anyone argue about this? No one except Mr. Ba can understand these two issues.

But everyone still feels that it is inappropriate. As one of the three giants, it is responsible for such a marginal department. Isn't the power too light?

"Don't put more burdens on me for the time being. I have less direct responsibility and can still find time to answer everyone's questions, right?"

What he said made so much sense, everyone could only let him go.
