Chapter 128
"In fact, you can't blame the teacher for being so angry. The children here are really different from the children in Konoha..."
Xi Ri Qiang moved her lips with difficulty, and her face was pale as she defended the teacher who whipped people with a whip. She was even a little relieved. Fortunately, it was still daytime, and fortunately, the students in the class were all children. If Shen Yue and Madara saw the adults in the class at night, her career might be completely over!
However, Uchiha Madara didn't really have much opinion on this, and even praised the teacher's approach. Children who were disobedient and unmotivated should be beaten severely until they were obedient.
It was just that after comparing with this group of super naughty children, he looked at the group of cubs in Konoha a little more pleasing to the eye. After all, they had not degenerated into piglets that drooled at the sight of food. Of course, they were only a little better.
When the three left the school, looking at the farmers working on the ridges of the fields, Shen Yue asked the question that she was most concerned about at the moment, which was how many years it would take for these aborigines to become qualified life ninjas.
"Two years, okay?"
Xi Ri Qiang pursed her lips, and after a moment of silence, she shook her head seriously. She coughed nervously and gave a number that she didn't even believe:
"At least, it will take three years."
"That's too long..."
Shen Yue sighed with worry and helplessness. If Konoha wanted to expand outward, a large number of living ninjas would be indispensable.
The current batch of living ninjas who are working mainly come from the ninja clan, because they don't need to be taught literacy and arithmetic, and they have known ninja ninjutsu since childhood. Most people can be successfully trained within one year, but the number of ninjas is limited after all. In the past three years, those who can be living ninjas have basically been driven away by Tobirama.
In this case, the civilians, who are more numerous, should be the bulk of the living ninjas, but the civilians in the ninja world are really, the cultural level is worrying...
Take this group of local aborigines as an example. It took almost a week just to teach them to learn to write the most basic common characters and their own names. This is the case when they are still motivated to learn under the dual temptation of whips and food. The most annoying thing is that some people have not learned such simple knowledge.
"There is a long way to go..."
Shen Yue couldn't help but have a headache. The factory was about to be built, and these people had to work, but was there any way to quickly train talents?
Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration.
"Simplify the teaching materials? Go on, how to simplify it?"
Xi Ri Qiang widened her eyes, took out the small notebook she carried with her, and quickly wrote down Shen Yue's instructions on it.
"Let's teach them the most basic reading and writing, and the most important thing is to obey discipline. Of course, we must not forget the chakra extraction technique."
Shen Yue sighed faintly. If possible, she really didn't want to force them to do something, but Konoha was really short of manpower now.
In extraordinary times, we can only adopt extraordinary measures!
"In short, let's do our best to let them learn to work first!"
Xi Ri Qiang nodded repeatedly, but Uchiha Madara frowned slightly, obviously not agreeing with this idea.
In terms of teaching and educating people, although Madara was very strict and often beat students to death, his original intention was to hope that students could make more progress and become more outstanding and powerful.
Now Shen Yue proposed this kind of poor cramming education, which obviously did not conform to his educational philosophy.
"..."
But even so, Madara's disapproval was only shown on his face. Looking at Madara who looked inexplicably depressed, Shen Yue, who was lying in his arms, guessed his thoughts, rubbed his cheek affectionately, and comforted him:
"The beginning is always the hardest. As long as you get through the hardest stage, you will become regular in the future."
It was at this moment that Shen Yue suddenly realized that something was wrong. She turned her head to look at the farmers who were working. They were dark, thin, and timid. When they realized that she was looking at them, they immediately lowered their heads.
For a long time, Kazuko, who worked for her, always called herself an ordinary farmer, but Shen Yue now knew that the real farmers of the Land of Fire should be like these people, illiterate, ignorant, and even humble like ants and dust.
But Kazuko was not like this. Where did she learn her knowledge and experience?
Or, is she really Kazuko?
.....
Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Shen Yue turned her thoughts back to the town. She pointed to Konoha in the distance and suggested:
"You can first repair the road to Konoha."
If you want to be rich, you must first repair the road. This is really a timeless maxim.
Although thanks to the joining of the Uzumaki clan and the popularization of the seal scroll,The supplies can be sealed in the scroll and easily delivered, but in order to facilitate the exchanges between the two sides, and to attract merchants and laborers, it is undoubtedly necessary to repair the road to Konoha.
"We can build more houses. This place will become a big town with many people in the future. Oh, by the way, workers' dormitories must be built next to the factory."
Looking at Xiri Qiang, whose eyes were full of yearning and expectation, Shen Yue skillfully painted a big pie for her, but she was not lying. Since she wanted to build a factory here, she would of course have to recruit many workers. In the future, a large number of people who defected to Konoha would be diverted here.
"Then, Lord Shen Yue, can you help us build some houses?"
The young Xiri Qiang, although she was very eager to get promoted and make money, also wanted to get some benefits from her boss, but she was still too young to understand that these two benefits could not be obtained at the same time.
"Build a house, me?"
When Shen Yue heard that she had to use Wood Release to build a house, she couldn't help but be a little confused and asked hesitantly.
"Yes, use Wood Release to build a house. Doesn't Master Hashirama often do this?"
"Well, actually I..."
Compared to Xiri Qiang's expectant expression, Shen Yue's face looked a little ugly. Her eyes wandered, and she wanted to explain something but couldn't. In the end, she could only droop her shoulders in frustration and said helplessly:
"Forget it, you can see for yourself."
After that, Shen Yue clapped his hands, and many trees broke out of the ground in the open space. Xiri Qiang looked in surprise. If Shen Yue really helped them build the house, the workload of rebuilding the town could be reduced by half at once!
But soon, the joy on her face turned into a kind of doubt and confusion.
I saw that the wooden house built out of thin air on the open space not only had crooked walls and looked like it would collapse at any time, but also had most of the roof missing. The door also slammed on the door frame with a click under the wind.
"Hahaha, Shenyue, you should really look at the house built by Hashirama."
Looking at this house that was clearly designed to make people laugh, Uchiha Madara couldn't help but laugh. He had seen Hashirama's three-bedroom and two-living-room technique with his own eyes. The house he built was very impressive. But it was obviously the same ninjutsu, but Shenyue's house was ridiculous.
Looking at the weird and dangerous house she built, Shenyue couldn't help but blush, a little annoyed and a little angry.
She always thought that her chakra control was not fine enough, so she couldn't build a beautiful and livable house. Later, she finally figured it out. Her hands-on ability was so poor that it was like she was cursed!
Hashirama was different. He could build houses, weave flower baskets, weave straw sandals, and make wood carvings. Except for not being able to use Wood Release to farm, he could do everything else.
Forget it, Hashirama used Wood Release to conquer the world, Yamato used Wood Release to make real estate, and she used Wood Release to farm. This is what each has his own strengths, and no one can replace anyone!
"...What a unique house, it's really full of art!"
It just doesn't look like it's habitable...
After hearing this insincere compliment, Shen Yue pouted and destroyed the house without leaving any trace. Xi Ri Qiang's face froze, and the smile disappeared for a moment before returning to her face.
At this moment, the sadness in her heart had already flooded, and she wanted to strangle herself to death for thinking that her boss could help her with work a few minutes ago.
My career, you're done for, wuwuwu...
.....
Just as Madara and Shen Yue continued to wander aimlessly, throwing out suggestions from time to time, it was almost evening before they knew it, and the sunset gradually set, dyeing the sky a mixture of golden and orange-red.
"Master, let's go home."
Looking at this still somewhat dilapidated and desolate town, Shenyue pulled Uchiha Madara's sleeve and suggested that they go home instead of staying here overnight and occupying Xiri Qiang's supplies and house.
This was the first time that Madara had been away from home for such a short time. Obviously, he was very unhappy. With his personality, he might have gone away for a year or two or even never come back just because of the bad things that Huohe and Old Man Yan had done!
However, looking at Shenyue, who was brought out by him in thin clothes and even without shoes, Madara still agreed to the request of his always delicate little apprentice. He really couldn't bear to let Shenyue suffer from the hardships of eating and sleeping in the open air.
Hearing that the master and apprentice were about to return to Konoha, Xiri Qiang, who had been following them, put down the notebook in her hand and looked at the still somewhat dilapidated town with them. But this was only the result of their work for a week. As long as she and her companions were given some more time, they would definitely be able to build this place into a prosperous town!
Xiri Qiang's heart was suddenly filled with emotion.Qian, although she was very awed and even afraid of Uchiha Madara, her respect and admiration for him did not decrease at all.
And this is also the voice of many young ninjas.
It was because Uchiha Madara broke the shackles that had been tied to the ninjas and trampled on the seemingly high but vulnerable royal power that made them realize that ninjas are not tools in the hands of daimyo, and they can choose a better life different from their fathers and grandparents.
"Mada, Lord Shenyue, thank you very much."
Thinking of this, Xiri Qiang bowed deeply, and her gratitude surged like a spring, which was difficult to express in words.
"In the past, I never thought that I could do anything other than killing people, but now, watching this town being rebuilt with our efforts, watching those children trust us from the bottom of their hearts, instead of fearing and hating all ninjas."
"I... am really happy."
