Red sand dust

The specially cultivated seaside hibiscus has a well-developed root system and can tolerate particularly barren land environments. It is drought and alkali tolerant and is particularly suitable for greening sandy land. It can even grow in alkaline water on the seaside to intercept waves from eroding the land.

This kind of natural windbreak green plant can be transplanted using cutting technology and its survival rate can reach over 90%. It is really a large plant, it grows very fast and can quickly form a large scale.

What's even more rare is that the roots, stems and leaves of this plant have certain medicinal value. Many birds, animals, insects and fish can directly or indirectly make a living on the coastal hibiscus jungle.

As for the palm tree, there is no need to doubt its value too much. This thing is full of treasures. The sheath fiber produced by it can be used for ropes, weaving raincoats, palm tents, carpets, brushes, and stuffing for sofas. The fruits, leaves, The flowers and roots can be used as medicine and have good ornamental value.

At the same time, this plant is widely suitable for growing in tropical and subtropical areas. The palm fruits it produces can squeeze palm oil and palm kernel oil, which play an important role in catering, food industry and chemical industry. In Daimaru's previous life, palm oil accounted for more than 30% of the total oil production, ranking alongside soybean oil and rapeseed oil. It played a decisive role in feeding impoverished civilians in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America around the world.

As a cash crop, palm oil has low added value, but it is very suitable for the residents of the Country of Wind who are not yet wealthy.

As for the last kind of date palm tree, it is a variant of palm tree in a broad sense. The fruits are mainly used to make jam, syrup, wine, etc. The residue can be used to make feed, feed chickens, dolphins and dogs, and can also be composted to improve the soil. What's rare is that the date palm tree has an extremely long lifespan and the wood it produces is just okay, barely meeting the standards for entry-level puppet making materials.

Especially the last point, the date palm tree can be planted as a strategic resource by the Sand Ninja. Its status is equivalent to the huge demand for oak in Daimaru's previous life. The Sun Never Sets Empire. The Armada spans the four seas and must have massive amounts of wood to build ships. , at least until the ironclads mature, they are almost irreplaceable. The date palm tree is an entry-level puppet material that grows quickly, has a long lifespan, high output, and is cheap. For Sunagakure Village, it is the cornerstone of the puppet industry's prosperity.

These three important tree species are the main ones, and the spread of windbreaks will be the most important strategic resource of the Kingdom of Wind for at least the next hundred years.

It's even worth Daimaru's busy schedule to come out and see the popularity of its cultivation in person.

"This thing can make more money than your melon field nursery. Have you ever thought about contracting land to do this?"

Qian Weiwei shook his head:

"It was originally going to be done, but then I pressed the button. This... is obviously an area that requires scale and a corresponding industrial chain to be successful. Individuals and small groups cannot operate!"

Only by using the power in his hands to mobilize the air combat troops and the huge business consortium under his command can he achieve something, but such a big move is quite taboo for Daimaru.

"Some things should not be coveted by the public. In some key areas, we must be cautious. The government occupies a dominant position. It is best for private industries to only look for money-making opportunities in niche areas..."

If a country does not control its food, logistics, weapons and equipment, and strategic materials in its own hands, it is simply asking for death.

Nowadays, Sand Hidden Village's puppet technology is unparalleled in the world. In addition to being limited by the lack of education and the inability to cultivate more qualified puppet masters, the biggest shortcoming is that the demand for puppet materials is too great.

In the past, Sunagakure Village was a barren land, and qualified wood for making puppets was quite rare. Even senior puppet masters like Daimaru felt that those materials were ridiculously expensive.

The top puppet stylists can also prepare the corresponding materials by hunting large insect beasts in the Kingdom of Wind. Ordinary families can only stare at the ridiculously expensive puppets.

This is also the reason why puppet rental and after-sales services have gradually become the majority of revenue in Daimaru's workshop, leaving puppet sales far behind.

I really can't afford it.

How to lower the threshold for puppet masters to get started, Daimaru struggled a lot. In order to cultivate a type of qualified tree species, he spent almost three years before he managed to produce a passable result.

Walking in the uniform woods that were rustling with the wind, Daimaru unconsciously reached out and touched the branches of a date palm tree.

"This is not a tree, but green gold growing in the ground!"

In an environment like the ninja world, resources such as oil, natural gas, coal and iron are important, but the most precious thing is the ninja who can extract a large amount of chakra.

Chakra is the hard currency. How to get more people to embark on the path of ninja is the key to truly making Sunagakure Village different from other ninja villages, and even surpassing the overlord of the ninja world, Konoha Village.

Biology, chemistry, environment, and materials will be the key areas of development for the Sand Ninja in the future. In terms of energy, chakra power will be the mainstay and fossil fuels will be the supplement.

It is not yet safe to be the best in certain fields. Only by forming a real industrial chain and widening the generation gap in technology can we truly control the alienated "scourge" of the ninja world and let the Konoha ninjas experience what they need to do. The advantage of "the ultimate strength of the country", whether it is strong or not, does not mean that everything will be fine if the ninja is strong.

In addition to transforming the natural environment, the current work of the sand ninjas is focused on digging canals, building reservoirs, and building ports and terminals.

Land transportation mainly relies on steam trains, which are larger and more reliable; truly efficient transportation still relies on water transportation. Along the way, Daimaru and Qian saw several groups of flying ninjas surveying the terrain.

With such unique conditions, we should indeed make good use of them.

…

Just as Mr. "Aka No Sand" was patrolling around with his secretary, a burgundy middle-aged man, wearing a somewhat majestic mask and wrapped in a thick windproof robe, took a plane that stopped at Naruto Village. Awaji Village, a passenger and cargo flight arriving at the headquarters of Sunagakure Village, arrived at a hometown that had greatly changed.

Because it was a private trip and he was a special guest, no one checked on him along the way.

Looking out the porthole, people were coming and going under the scorching spring sun, throwing something constantly. Luo Sha, who went by the pseudonym "Yam Mo Luo", asked the dedicated waiter:

"What's that doing?"

The waiter, who has long been used to inquiries from outsiders, replied with a smile:

"Flying grass seeds! Because of the abnormal weather this year, agricultural and animal husbandry preparations in Sand Hidden Village have been delayed for more than half a month. Now canals and reservoirs are densely covered in most of the Wind Country, and the land is not like before, even weeds are gone. It cannot grow. Except for the farms that have been planned for a long time, most places are aerially sown with alfalfa..."

"Growing grass?"

"Improving the land environment cannot be achieved overnight. Even if the survival rate of these alfalfa is only half, it is much better than the yellow sand in the sky, especially for people like us... who can observe the scenery from an altitude of several thousand meters almost every day Yes, I have a deep understanding of it..."

Originally there was no surface other than the dusky, continuous sand dunes, but now there is a lot more greenery.

"The strong wind is still strong, but it has more color of life!"

After all, it is a country of wind, and the howling wind is inevitable, but with the nourishment of water, the source of life, everything is different from before.

When passing through Awaji Village, you can see endless offshore farms and pastures. Various aquatic products are loaded and unloaded from the port at all times and quickly sent to where they are needed.

Busy!

This is Luo Sha’s overall impression of the Kingdom of Wind.

In the past, Naruto Village was very busy from top to bottom. At that time, Luo Sha thought it was because it was located on a traffic thoroughfare. Only now did he understand that this "ten thousand years is too long, seize the day" style of work. , it is really not an exception.

Once the residents of the Kingdom of Wind, who had been poor for too long, discovered an opportunity to change their own destiny, the energy that burst out shocked even Luosha, the "deceased" Kazekage.

Trying to use every bit of power to the extreme is the common life attitude of Suna ninjas nowadays.

This also gave the entire Kingdom of Wind a vibrant look.

“What a young country!”

Luo Sha sighed while taking a sip from the wine glass. It was really difficult to confirm that this place was actually the place where he once held great power.

Such earth-shaking changes occurred, and it was only about five years before he died in battle.

"If I had known that Sunagakure Village had this potential, what kind of "Konoha Collapse Plan" would I have launched? 』

Even if he had one-tenth of his ability back then, it would be enough to greatly improve the embarrassment of Sunagakure Village back then.

And this also made Luo Sha realize that he had made some achievements in how to use intrigues, fight for power, and play both sides. However, no matter how he governed and led his compatriots to live a better life and move towards prosperity, he could not keep up with his descendants.

Daimaru once said, "A person of an era has a responsibility for an era." Now that I think about it, I feel even more moved.

For the first time since his resurrection, Luo Sa felt the vitality of Sunagakure Village in the new era, and Luo Sa didn't know what to say.

After walking out of the crowded airport and strolling on the bustling streets, the former Kazekage Yondaime hesitated until he didn't know which direction to go.

In late spring, it is still cool in the morning and evening, but it is already a bit hot in the Land of Winds in the afternoon.

In the middle of a bustling square, there is a walking place specially opened for residents. In the middle is a shallow pool with water loops. Many naughty children are playing in it. Girls wearing very trendy swimsuits and lifebuoys around their waists are right. The boys who were spraying water guns everywhere pointed and pointed, and there were even a few chubby little guys riding simple water puppet toys. They divided into two parties and played a water riding game.

The adults nearby gathered in small groups to chat, and from time to time observed whether their children were naughty enough to be in danger.

Not far away, there is an open-air children's playground. The most popular ones are puppet racing and rapid shooting.

When he was in Naruto Village, Rasa also saw half-grown children who couldn't sit still and used steam speedboats to "race boats" on the waterway opened on the sea. The momentum of speed rather than death was reflected in these children in front of them. .

Suna Ninja himself is a kind of arrogant and egoistic person. When given the opportunity to show himself, he will change his tricks to commit suicide.

As for those genin and apprentices who have just entered the internship period, they have withstood the severe beatings from society and have gradually become calmer.

The most annoying thing is naughty children. This is the sentiment of most parents in Sunagakure Village. A bad guy like Daimaru who has been the "King of Children" since he was a child is really not an exception.

In the center of the new Sunagakure Village, at the end of the main road leading directly to the entrance of the village, in the magnificent Kazekage House, Gaara was enjoying the cool breeze on the terrace to refresh himself. He suddenly frowned and looked at the familiar figure in the crowd. .

However, when he looked carefully, he could no longer be seen in the bustling crowd.

"Perception is wrong?" 』

After pondering for a while, Gaara, who thought it was an illusion, shook his head slightly and no longer took this little thing to heart.

Not far behind him, the follower Krobi handed over a large pile of documents and asked for advice in a low voice:

"The Fifth Generation, the village's finances are now on the verge of collapse. If we continue to borrow so much, I'm afraid we won't be able to repay it. The annual interest is a very heavy burden!"

"It's hard to get off the tiger, there's no turning back!"

Gaara shook his head slightly,

"Now that we have embarked on this road, we can only take this opportunity to develop rapidly and look for opportunities to turn around! It is scary to be overwhelmed by debt, but what I am more worried about is the collapse of private debt. With our Sand Ninja providing almost unlimited credit, and then using currency-linked checks Once the carat amount and the ninja hiring mission are settled, you don’t have to worry about collapse!”

Today's Wind Country cannot do without the Sand Ninja. The Sand Ninja only recognizes currency linked to the amount of chakra, and Gaara has room for manipulation.

Only by expanding the number of ninjas in Sunagakure Village and increasing the use of chakra as a super energy source can Sunagakure Village's huge financial overdraft debt for several years be repaid.

The collapse of private debt shows that everyone has no credit for the future and is unwilling to overdraw the future. Everything is safe. Such a conservative environment will inevitably make the fiscal revenue of Sunagakure Village unable to keep up with the expansion of the deficit.

Krobi said in embarrassment:

"Even if we don't have to worry about breach of contract in a short period of time, it is still a considerable burden. We worked hard, and in the end we let those moneylenders make money, and we still made sure that we didn't lose money. Didn't we lose too much?"

The disproportion between risks and returns is indeed a problem, but now that the village needs help from its creditors, it is a bit hard to be stubborn.

"Next year, there won't be so many exaggerated expenditures. If we persist for more than half a year, now is a good opportunity. The village cannot relax at this critical moment..."

Well, now that Feng Ying has made the decision in person, Robbie can no longer question it.

"The afternoon schedule is to commemorate this year's top students, as well as the meeting of this year's exchange students in Konoha Village, and... there is a dispute over the airspace use rights between the air combat force and three civilian flying puppet transport clubs, which requires you to mediate..."

The first two are considered public activities, and the last one is treated as truth and trouble.

The current struggle for rights and interests, from land, ocean to airspace, may also affect outer space and other spaces in the future. There is really no rest for a moment.
