Chapter 368 Reselling
In Qianyao's eyes, the ghost army of the demon kingdom was utterly ridiculous.
In other words, the people of the Land of Demons are very concerned about protecting their homeland.
The stone golems moved extremely slowly; if the people of the Land of Demons were to abandon their country altogether...
They were sent directly to Konoha Village, and the stone golem could only watch helplessly.
He either has to cross the Land of Earth or go around four smaller countries to reach Konoha.
By the time his stone golem arrived, Qianyao had already freed up his hands.
Moreover, without commoners as a burden, it's uncertain whether the demons can defeat the priestess.
After Chiyo shoved his clone into Minato's shadow, he prepared to deal with the affairs of Konoha Village first.
Although there has been no official announcement to the entire village, everyone has already accepted that Chiyo is the Fifth Hokage.
After finishing dealing with matters in the Land of Demons, Chiyo had another matter to decide on in the village.
Since the Hokage Building was burned down, the office space has been temporarily moved to the Akimichi clan's conference room.
……
"What? People from the merchant guild in Daimyo are here to take over the house?"
When Qianyao arrived, he received some news that surprised him.
Lu He directly produced some copied documents, all of which were transaction vouchers.
Chiyo asked, "Where did Hiruzen Sarutobi get the money to give Kakuzu? What makes him dare to leave Konoha?"
So Hiruzen Sarutobi sold everything in Konoha Village, including the remaining three of Kushina's five streets, along with all the houses and shops there.
Several other families' businesses were sold off ahead of schedule.
The land in Konoha Village belongs to the villagers; there is no such thing as buying or selling it. After all, the Land of Fire is vast and rich in resources, with a small population and a lot of land.
Konoha Village is the largest trading center in the Land of Fire, but there are still many people who want to live there.
The houses and shops here can naturally fetch a good price.
This kind of thing can't be sold in a day or two. It can only mean that Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group had been planning to leave Konoha Village for a long time.
Lu He looked at Qian Yao with a questioning gaze, meaning, "Let's see what Qian Yao is going to do."
No wonder they say that Qianyao has to make the decisions on these kinds of things.
Qian Yao said calmly, "It seems this money bag isn't very obedient."
"Or we can choose another one."
Chiyo defines a daimyo as someone who manages the common people in the towns and cities of the Land of Fire.
All kinds of taxes collected from various places are used to subsidize Konoha Village every year.
The Land of Fire is such a large country that managing it would be quite troublesome.
But in reality, the status of the daimyo is not high in Konoha Village.
Many things are just for show, after all, many ordinary people also accept the rule of the lord.
Apart from Sunagakure in the Land of Wind, the other villages are pretty much the same.
The Land of Wind is special because the Sand Village is a desolate land filled with yellow sand.
Finding someone capable of managing such a dilapidated place and extracting money from it is extremely difficult.
Therefore, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind can cut funds whenever he wants without having to consider whether it will anger Rasa.
If Rasa were to kill the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, his loss would be even greater.
After all, not just anyone can manage a place like the Land of Wind.
The Sand Village will be even poorer then.
Upon hearing Qianyao's words, Luhe quickly stopped him:
"Fifth Hokage, Konoha is in turmoil right now, so it's not wise to take such a big step."
"If the Fourth Shinobi World War breaks out, we will need them to provide logistical support."
"Besides, the people from Daimyo's group are quite nice. You should meet them first."
As members of the Uchiha clan, how could they possibly obey the daimyo's orders? Shikaga had no doubt that Chiyo could replace the daimyo at any time.
So I chose to speak in a softer tone.
"Alright, call them over." Qian Yao casually ordered.
Lu He immediately sent people out.
A little while later, about a dozen people filed into the conference room.
Qian Yao raised an eyebrow, thinking there would only be one or two people, but he didn't expect so many to come all at once.
After these people came in, they all turned their attention to Qian Yao.
Shikaga also introduced, "This is our Fifth Hokage of Konoha Village, Uchiha Chiyo."
The people below all bowed and removed their hats in greeting, their expressions mostly showing obsequiousness.
He introduced himself: "Greetings, Hokage-sama, I am Ryuzaki Mitsuto from the Hirata Trading Company..."
"Greetings, Hokage-sama. I am Katsuyuki Iwano from the Changshan Trading Company..."
"Greetings, Hokage-sama, I am..."
There were fifteen people in total, each representing a chamber of commerce.
Qianyao looked at Ryuzaki Santo, who was the first to speak: "Are you fifteen people the only representatives of all the merchant guilds?"
Ryuzaki Mitsuto answered politely:
“Our fifteen chambers of commerce are just representatives; this incident involves a total of forty-seven chambers of commerce.”
Seeing that the group's attitude was quite good, Qianyao didn't make things difficult for them, after all, the existence of these merchant guilds had brought huge benefits to Konoha Village.
"Tell me, what happened? How did you manage to buy these shops from Hiruzen Sarutobi?"
Ryuzaki Mitsuto said with a grim expression, "Hokage-sama, we've all been deceived by Hiruzen Sarutobi..."
Qianyao listened to what was going on: Sarutobi Hiruzen and other family members had approached these merchant guilds.
This indicates that Konoha is going to expand, and in the future, Konoha will be able to accommodate more people.
These ninja clans will relocate, and the houses and shops on these streets will be inconvenient to manage, so they need to find someone to take over.
When these chambers of commerce heard this, they were like, "Holy crap, this is amazing?!"
He hurriedly waved his banknotes and began making large-scale purchases.
As for why no one ever doubted the Third Hokage, it's because he was the Third Hokage!
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who held the Hokage position for decades!
The Third Hokage, who fought in several Shinobi World Wars!
Besides, they frequently export various goods to the Land of Fire, so they have a semi-official background.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group have lived in Konoha for so many years, how could they possibly run away?
Hey, guess what?
They really ran away!
Upon hearing that Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others had been expelled from Konoha by the Uchiha clan and Tsunade, the merchants were immediately stunned.
They set off for Konoha overnight.
Other caravans aren't comfortable letting them act as agents, but rather because the agents haven't arrived yet.
"Ah……"
Qianyao found it truly fascinating; the Third Hokage's reputation was indeed quite effective.
Although it was a one-off deal, these business associations were all badly scammed.
"Did you go to see the daimyo?"
Qian Yao asked calmly.
Ryuzaki Mitsuto shook his head: "The daimyo will not see us."
Oh, it seems that Daming still has some self-awareness and doesn't dare to interfere with either side.
It seems that these chambers of commerce are using their prestigious names as a stepping stone to gain entry into the market.
Qianyao tapped his fingers incessantly on the table: "How do you plan to handle this?"
He directly passed the buck back to these chambers of commerce.
Ryuzaki Santo glanced at Chiyo with some surprise, not expecting Chiyo to be easier to talk to than he had imagined.
