Chapter 25 You think you made a profit and I lost
"Tell me, how can you avoid war?"
Jiraiya's impression of Nara Quini changed a lot at this time. He originally thought that Nara Quini would be the opposite textbook for the Nara clan, but now it seems that what flows in this kid's body is still the blood of the Nara clan.
But Jiraiya never expected that Nara Shin-min's vision was never based on the ninja's perspective. He had experienced more than ten years of modern education, and these educations may not help becoming a ninja.
But when talking about these international issues, social development, and large-scale wars, it is easy to get it. After all, Nara Shizumi has participated in too many uncles’ wine tables.
Those uncles and uncles didn’t even finish elementary school, but when talking about the affairs of the temple, they all have their own advantages, and their views are unique, which makes them feel like they are hidden in the city.
Therefore, even though Nara Shin-ming didn't know much about the military, civilization and system of the ninja world, he still talked about these things very well.
"Since the dispute cannot be eliminated, then guide it to other levels, rather than describe the various forces. There is only one reason why wars in the ninja world are frequent, that is, they are too poor.
The leaders of the Daming and Ninja Organization of the country were so poor that they did not care at all how much harm they would cause to the country after the war. They only paid attention to what they had gained.
If the entire ninja world becomes rich, even a village will have a large amount of economic output. In this case, once a war begins, the economic losses will be immeasurable."
Hearing Nara Quini's words, Jiraiya nodded, but at the same time, he felt that Nara Quini's idea was too low to realize.
Even the richest Fire Country, over the years, only Daming Prefecture and Konoha Village have achieved advanced development. If these two places start war, then Daming and Naruto will indeed be reluctant to leave.
However, the country of Fire is so vast that there are countless villages on the list. In addition, there are many small villages that have no notes on the case and are gathered by some scattered people.
It is impossible to achieve these places to the point where Daming and Naruto can maintain peace without causing war.
"What about other places? Even if the Kingdom of Fire can develop, how can we ensure that other countries are afraid of the consequences of war?"
Jiraiya asked his own question. Nara Kazunaga heard this and pondered for a moment, saying, "Economic linkage! Teacher, you should know that once the war breaks out, the most impact will always be national boundaries.
We may not be able to guarantee that other countries and other villages will be so rich that Daming does not want to provoke wars, but we use the borders of countries around the Kingdom of Fire as a pilot to conduct large-scale trade with other countries.
It is like the country of fire and the country of wind, nominally separated from the country of Sichuan, but in fact, the national boundary between the two countries of wind and fire is in the hinterland of Sichuan, and this is the central boundary.
We are conducting large-scale trade transactions nearby. We can sell food, fruits and vegetables and even clear water to them at low prices. Damingfu will definitely not refuse, right?"
"Selling at a low price? Then, wouldn't the Fire Country keep losing money?"
Nara Tamari saw Hatsuki Mizuno asking questions and waved his hand, but he was not free and easy in the drizzle of cows. Jiraiya didn't make any noise. He was thinking about the meaning of Nara Tamari's doing so.
"Selling at low prices is not for making money, but for making friends. If you say it wrong, then the purpose of selling at low prices is to combat peers in the Wind Country.
Think about it, if the rice from the Kingdom of Fire was sold for 10 taels per kilogram, but the rice from the Kingdom of Wind would be bought for 30 taels per kilogram, what kind of rice would their citizens buy?"
As soon as this sentence was released, Huo Feng Mizuno was still thinking, Jiraiya had already understood it. He said: "You mean, through price wars, let Feng Zhiguo take the initiative to give up grain cultivation?"
"Yes, the Wind Kingdom is not good at farming and subsistence, and the cost is definitely much higher than that of us. Once a large-scale trade is launched, the Fire Kingdom seems to be giving in, and the Wind Kingdom also gets benefits and meets their needs. In this way, their local farming will be greatly lagging behind.
At the same time, we have large-scale acquisition of specialties from Fengzhiguo, such as mineral resources, so that the citizens of Fengzhiguo, who were originally engaged in farming, choose to transform into mining.
There are three to five years, guess what the Wind Country will become?”
Speaking of this, Nara Shimizu chose Asahima Fukumizu and Jiraiya to ask questions. Jiraiya already had an answer in his mind. He looked at Hahima Fukumizu, and Hahima Fukumizu thought for a while and said:
"Three or five years are enough to completely lose the planting capacity of land that was originally not considered barren and needed continuous maintenance. In this way, the Wind Kingdom will have to rely on the food of the Fire Kingdom."
Nara Quini nodded with satisfaction. The young man, Hatsuki Mizuno, was still very smart. Nara Quini continued: "If we have reached such a trade with the other four countries, then the five major countries will check and balance each other, who wants to start a war, or who dares to start a war?
After all, at that time, the funds of the other four countries will rely entirely on trade with the Kingdom of Fire. Once war is declared and trade with the Kingdom of Fire is cut off, how much money and materials will they still provide for them to fight?
Moreover, public opinion will not stand on the side of Daming or the other side. They have finally lived a good life, so who would think of resolutely resolutely? It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.”
Nara Quini's words opened up a new idea for Jiraiya, although there were many mistakes in Nara Quini's statement.
For example, why did Daming in other countries agree to conduct such large-scale trade? Does Daming have no think tanks around?
However, Nara Shimizu's idea is indeed a way to go. First of all, once the country is stable and the material conditions are abundant, the idea of Daming invading other countries will be reduced.
For example, this war originated because the domestic material and industrial structure of the Rain Country could not support the increasing population, so Hanzo wanted to plunder more land.
But if there was such a trade from the beginning, the country of Rain was rich in living conditions and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, would Hanzo still provoke a war?
"The economy is just the first step. After all, after all, after all, after all, all the five major countries become rich, there will definitely be disputes. I have another idea about this situation, which is cultural invasion!"
“Cultural invasion?”
This unfamiliar word made Jirai a little confused, but he vaguely felt that this seemed to be more worthy of attention than the half-baked economic and trade theory proposed by Nara Shimizu.
