In the silent office, there was only the rustling sound of Xingye Feng turning pages from time to time. His face became more and more serious, as if he had seen some great crisis.
"You are all right. Konoha is indeed like this now. It is developing faster than in the past ten years."
Xingye Feng kept reviewing the few pages of documents in his hand, reading them over and over again, and at the same time he said words of agreement.
This made everyone confused. They didn't know whether he was happy or angry, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
"I am really happy to hear these, and I know why you are happy."
Xingye Feng took a deep breath, put down the file, and continued.
But then, his face became heavy, and he said angrily:"But what I saw was that Konoha was full of loopholes."
"It is true that there are great results in the big aspects, and I agree with your achievements, but this does not mean that you can rest easy."
The sudden angry words made the hearts of the people present stop for a moment. Anyone could hear how angry Hoshino Kaede was at the moment.
Hearing this, Nara Shikaichi looked left and right, and asked doubtfully:"Hokage-sama, please forgive me for my poor eyesight. I don't know which loopholes there are." As soon as these words were spoken, everyone could not help but nod their heads, because they racked their brains but could not figure out what the problem was.
Speaking of resources, now that there is the land of the Rain Country, there are abundant mineral resources underground, and there is no shortage of them for the time being. Several large mineral veins have been discovered, which are enough for the next hundred years.
In terms of finance, after years of reforms and the huge success in business, Konoha's financial reserves are very abundant and it is not short of money.
In terms of trade, since the defeat of the Sand Village, Konoha has set up a trading area in its village to increase Konoha's influence and control the right to speak on drinking water and food.
If this continues for another ten years, it is estimated that the lifeline of the Sand Village will be directly controlled by Konoha.
Overall, Konoha is on an upward trend as a whole, which is perfect. This is something that other ninja villages envy.
Seeing everyone's trembling appearance, Hoshino Feng slightly retracted his pressure, and said calmly:"Konoha's hard power has been improved, so the next thing to do is to focus on soft power."
Strange words flooded into their brains, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Orochimaru seemed to be thinking about something, and his eyes flashed, as if he understood the deep meaning.
Nara Shikaka asked curiously:"Please explain it to me, Lord Hokage." Hoshino Kaede did not keep them in suspense and explained:"Hard power is easy to understand, that is, all aspects of Konoha focus on military force."
"Soft power refers to the various details under each aspect, such as: pension funds for the elderly, medical insurance for villagers and basic education for children."
Although it is an explanation, it is no different from the heavenly book. Except for the smarter Nara Shikaichi and Orochimaru who understand a little bit, the others are basically blinded.
Seeing this, Xingye Feng smiled slightly, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said:"I deliberately hid my body a few days ago and learned more about it."
"In the big picture, Konoha is very good, and it is several levels higher than other ninja villages, which is very good."
"But I still see some shortcomings"
"You are all in high positions, and you are ninjas, so you don't have to worry about your life, and you spend money like water."
Such straightforward words made them feel a little unnatural, and some of them glanced around involuntarily.
Seeing this, Xingye Feng shook his head and smiled, and comforted him:"Don't worry, this is not against the law, I'm just talking."
After comforting, he went on to say:"Ninjas naturally have no worries about their lives. The commission for a task is the monthly or even annual income of ordinary people."
"But Konoha is mostly populated by ordinary people, and they need money for many things, so they don't have much money left in the end."
"If this goes on, let alone becoming wealthy, we won't even be able to afford a disease."
After some explanation, Nara Shikaichi also understood what Hoshino Kaede wanted to say in the end:"You mean, you want Konoha to bear part of the cost?"
Seeing that Shikaichi understood so quickly, Hoshino Kaede smiled and nodded:"That's exactly what I mean."
"The financial situation was tight before, and Konoha still had hidden dangers, so it was put on hold."
"Now is the right time, there are no internal risks, and the finances are sufficient, so I want to hear your opinions."
The amount of information is huge, and after Xingye Feng finished speaking, no one still spoke up to express their opinions.
Xingye Feng was not in a hurry. This matter was a huge project, and there were many points to discuss, so it had to be done slowly.
Half an hour later, Utatane Koharu took the lead in expressing her opinion. After all, it was related to finances, so she was the first to speak.
"Your idea is a little immature in my opinion. Konoha has a large population base, and it will take a lot of effort to implement hundreds of thousands of people."
"There are many departments involved, and personnel need to be coordinated and transferred, which is very troublesome."
Before Xingye Feng could speak, Danzo couldn't wait to say:"Xiaochun is right, this policy of wasting money is unnecessary in my opinion."
"With this kind of money, it is better to increase investment in ninjas, after all, they are the ones who protect Konoha."
Danzo's words were a bit radical, but I am afraid that this was the voice of most people present.
Because people always have a purpose or benefit when doing something, and they can't see it from it, so they object.
"you...Do you all think so?" Hoshino Kaede looked at them and sighed in his heart.
These people have good intentions, but because of the limitations of the times, they cannot see some hidden things clearly.
At this time, Nara Shikaichi suddenly spoke up and said,"I think this matter should be implemented as soon as possible."
At the moment his words fell, Sarutobi Hiruzen also said,"In the short term, there is no benefit, but I don't think that everything has to be discussed in terms of benefits." Danzo frowned and said dissatisfiedly,"If we don't talk about benefits, what can we talk about? Now is not the time to joke."
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at him and said slowly,"Some things are more important than benefits."
"Losing it is like a tree without roots, or flowers without water."
Hearing what they said, Xingye Feng's eyes lit up.
"What do you mean?" Danzo asked in confusion.
At this time, Orochimaru's voice appeared lightly, and he said nothing but hit the nail on the head.
"What Sarutobi-sensei meant was that the will of the people is above all else. Without a solid will of the people, no matter how strong it is, it is all false and will break at the slightest touch."
Xingye Feng nodded approvingly:"Yes, the will of the people is everything."
"Just like where I am now"
"It is not that you have to become a Hokage to be recognized by everyone, but that you are the one who is recognized by everyone."
