Chapter 440 Digging Up the Roots of Five Countries
The food problem has always been a critical issue in any era.
Not to mention in a ninja world where production is relatively backward.
At this moment, the Land of Wind encountered a life-threatening problem.
Compared to the other countries, the Kingdom of Wind has almost no ability to resist the problem of food.
Grain merchants fled, causing domestic grain prices to skyrocket.
The people can no longer survive. What can be done when people can no longer live?
Then go somewhere where you can survive and continue to make a living.
Large numbers of starving people began to flee the Land of Wind, hoping to find food elsewhere.
Their primary target was the most prosperous country in their minds, the Land of Fire.
Some people thought of another country, namely the Rain Country, which has a canal cooperation with their Wind Country.
If you follow the canal upstream, you will reach the Land of Rain, where there is abundant rainfall and you should be able to find some food.
However, only a minority of people choose to go to the Land of Rain. After all, even if they are just ordinary citizens of the Land of Wind, the Land of Wind is a large country, while the Land of Rain is too small for them.
However, this is the last thing the daimyo of the Land of Wind, as the ruler, wants to see.
As the ruler of the Land of Wind, what does he rule over? This endless yellow sand?
No, he rules over the people of the Wind Kingdom, but now his people are leaving the country. How can he tolerate this?
"Snapped--!"
At the residence of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, the Daimyo summoned all his advisors for a meeting.
However, after half a day of meetings, no one came up with a decent solution.
The enraged daimyo of the Land of Wind smashed his teacup and angrily rebuked him.
"Useless! You're all a bunch of useless trash!"
The staff members lowered their heads, not daring to speak or move.
They were terrified that the slightest unnecessary movement would be seen by the enraged daimyo, making them the target of his rage.
"What are you still standing there for? Quickly think of a solution for me, think of a way to solve this problem!"
"If all those lowly people escape, what will I eat and drink?"
"Your Excellency, I believe we should immediately order the border to be sealed off, prohibiting anyone from leaving!"
"Your Excellency, I believe we should now order the collection of all grain from domestic grain merchants and then distribute the grain to aid the disaster relief efforts."
"Report to the Daimyo-sama..."
One after another, the advisors stepped forward to offer their suggestions.
However, none of the strategies they offered were truly effective.
It might work temporarily, but its effectiveness in the long run is uncertain.
Now, the planting season has passed, and the few remaining arable lands in the oasis of the Land of Wind have long been abandoned.
After all, when there was no food, the last of the seeds had long been swallowed by the starving people.
No one is planting, which means there will be no harvest this year.
If there's no harvest this year, then distributing any amount of relief grain will be pointless.
With no other option, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind gritted his teeth.
"Alright, then distribute the food!"
He never imagined that he, as the dignified ruler of a nation, would one day have to distribute grain to the outside world.
Not only the Land of Wind, but the other four countries are also experiencing problems of varying degrees of severity.
Federation, head office.
Tetsuya sat in the study, listening to the report from Sanshokujin Tatsu.
"My lord, famine has struck the Land of Wind, and its people are beginning to flee."
To prevent the loss of its citizens, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind has ordered the border to be sealed off.
The situation in the Land of Earth is similar. Although their situation is slightly better than that of the Land of Wind, it is still a country with many hills, deserts, and rocky wastelands.
Their food reserves are also in poor condition, and they probably won't last much longer.
Then there's the Land of Lightning and the Land of Water...
Of the five nations, the situation is slightly better; however, the effects of the economic war are still intensifying, and the cost of living for the citizens of the Land of Fire is constantly rising. Currently, there is widespread discontent within the Land of Fire.
Listening to the report from the salamander god, Tetsuya smiled smugly.
"Although the effect is still a bit different from what I imagined, it's alright. It's already pretty good that we've achieved this much."
So, let's move on to the second step.
They spread the message to the people of the five major countries, saying that the federal nation welcomes people from all countries to immigrate.
To put it simply, the cost of living here is low, there are many job opportunities, and we can afford to eat well.
At this critical moment, Tetsuya's decision to have the salamander god release this information is undoubtedly digging into the roots of the Five Great Nations.
After all, what kind of country is it if it doesn't even have people left?
As for whether the federation is capable of supporting the citizens of the five major powers.
In terms of land area, that's definitely not enough.
However, the moment someone went to their Federation, Tetsuya's plan had already succeeded.
Sanshojin immediately withdrew and began to spread the message to the five great nations through various channels.
Not only Shinta, but even the Akatsuki organization was mobilized under Tetsuya's orders.
The news began to spread in the five major countries, and some people were genuinely tempted.
Especially the citizens of the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind.
Meanwhile, some people who had arrived in the Land of Rain earlier began to promote the Federation online.
At Tetsuya's instruction, Yahiko ordered that the starving people who had fled from the Land of Wind be properly resettled.
They were provided with accommodation and jobs.
Although the conditions weren't exactly luxurious, for the citizens of the Wind Kingdom who were on the verge of starvation, this place was practically paradise.
After all, isn't their only purpose in life to have food to eat?
As the propaganda spread, people began to travel to the Federation.
At first, the five major powers did not pay much attention. After all, in their view, even if the Federation had completed the integration and unification of the various small countries, so what? In the end, weren't they still a bunch of small countries?
Even if they accept starving people, how many can they accept? Sooner or later, they'll eat them out of house and home.
This is typical of the mindset of a major ninja power; they look down on small countries and the Federation from the bottom of their hearts.
But they overlooked one thing: where did those grain traders who bought up grain in large quantities and then fled to various countries go?
It should be understood that in the eyes of the merchants in this ninja world, there is only one idol, and their idol is the founder of this federation.
Not to mention, Tetsuya's Chiba Trading Company has been a dominant force in the ninja world for many years, and its profound foundation is beyond comprehension.
"It's terrible, Lord Daimyo!"
In the Fire Country's Daimyo Prefecture, a bad message reached the ears of the Fire Country's Daimyo.
"what happened?"
"My lord, a large number of our citizens have secretly crossed the border and fled to that so-called Federation!"
The federal government offered terms: if you're willing to go, they'll provide you with legal status, accommodation, and employment!
"what!"
The daimyo of the Land of Fire's eyes widened in surprise.
"Damn it! What are the people of Konoha doing? Why are they still trying to capture that damned Federation leader?"
"Lord Daimyo, Konoha says they've encountered some problems."
Jiraiya, the Hokage's assistant, was taken away by the toads of Mount Myōboku and has not returned!
