Networth Skyrocketing

Uchiha Tunan returned to the North City Guard Office and sat in the hall, drinking tea.

The people of the North City Guard had already left under the arrangements of the attendants.

Not long after, Jin respectfully handed over the scroll in his hand and said softly,

"Lord Tunan."

Uchiha Tunan put down the teacup, opened the scroll, and then formed a seal to release the seal.

Bang!

When the smoke dissipated, more than ten boxes appeared in the open space in front of them.

Uchiha Tunan asked Jin to open the boxes one by one.

Inside the box were either gold, silver, jewelry, or antique deeds. Of course, there was also a large amount of cash and money.

These were all the savings that Shota had accumulated for too many years.

Uchiha Tunan nodded in satisfaction. "Are these all that guy's assets?"

Jin quickly took out an account book, bowed and handed it over,

"That's right, this is the account book, please take a look."

Uchiha Tunan took the account book and looked at it.

Good fellow, the value of these things added up to about 200 million.

The welfare institute's land money was enough. It seemed that this trip was not in vain.

This Shota was really...

Good thing that he died.

A deputy captain could save up nearly 200 million taels of savings. Fire Capital was indeed the most prosperous city in the entire world.

The taxes paid by the caravans that entered and exited the city gates every day were astronomical.

Just a little bit of profit was enough to cover an A -level mission.

Suddenly, Uchiha Tunan asked,

"Where is his family?"

Hearing this, Jin, who was pouring tea, immediately replied,

"His immediate relatives, regardless of whether they are old or young, a total of seven people have been captured by this subordinate and imprisoned in the temporary detention room of the northern city guard."

Uchiha Tunan nodded with satisfaction. This subordinate had a bit of his own demeanor.

"Take care of it first. Send a corpse every month, plus five million taels to the supervisory minister's manor."

Jin nodded and asked softly, "Do you need to write a report?"

Uchiha Tunan shook his head and chuckled. "Master Fukuda will write it for us. This is his political achievement."

"That's right, in the future, the few of you will help me manage the northern city guards."

"Smuggling, void tax, what should be paid is still to be received in the past."

"We can't break the rules, lest the other three city guards do something bad. "

Jin's face lit up with joy, and he respectfully said, "I understand."

Uchiha Tunan picked up the teacup and took a sip. He suddenly asked,

"By the way, who instructed you to do these things?"

Jin rolled his eyes and smiled,

"Lord Tunan is usually busy with his cultivation. This subordinate and the others deceived Lord Tunan for the sake of money."

"We acted on our own accord. "

Uchiha Tunan chuckled and waved his hand. "Very well, leave."

....

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

Now, Uchiha Tunan had completely stood in the Fire Capital.

Every month, the North City Guards would provide Uchiha Tunan with close to twenty million or so gray income.

Even though five million of them needed to be given to the supervising official.

In the past, the captain of the North City Guards had given the money to the chief of the Lord's Mansion in order to get a chance to be promoted.

However, Uchiha Tunan had accepted an employment mission. No matter how well he did, he would not be promoted.

If he failed, only the employer with his name would have the right to remove the employment mission.

The chief of the Lord Mansion could not control him at all.

Unless someone reported this matter to the supervising official and the official reported it to him.

This way, it would be possible to remove Uchiha Tunan from his position.

However, the result was only that the mission failed and he was sent back to the village.

Therefore, Uchiha Tunan was too lazy to be filial to the head of the Lord residence and directly pulled the supervising official to a camp.

As for the remaining fifteen million, about two million was distributed to the people under Uchiha Tunan.

As the boss, one must know how to win over people's hearts.

One must know how to share.

During these three months, Sarutobi Shinnosuke came several times, trying to rope in Uchiha Tunan.

It had to be said that Sarutobi Shinnosuke's control methods were too crude and could not be compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, in order to lower Sarutobi Shinnosuke's guard, Uchiha Tunan still tried to cater to him as much as possible.

Through the conversation, Uchiha Tunan learned that Asuma would leave Fire Capital in two months and return to participate in the graduation exam.

This also caused Uchiha Tunan to feel a sense of urgency.

When Asuma returned to the village, it would be difficult to make a move.

It was night, and the full moon flickered under the cover of the dark clouds.

"Don't hit me... Lord, please spare me... Lord, please spare me..."

Uchiha Tunan was reading in the study room.

While reading the books purchased from the largest bookstore in the capital of fire.

While listening to the heartbreaking screams of the newly built dungeon in the backyard.

Although these books have nothing to do with the ninjas, they contain the knowledge of all walks of life.

As a person who rule, he has to make use of his free time to replenish and enrich his knowledge system.

In particular, Uchiha Tunan was very interested in the history of the Ninja World.

In fact, Uchiha Tunan also had the same confusion as Asuma.

Why did the Hokage control powerful force but not rule the country?

Now, Uchiha Tunan knew the answer.

It was a very simple truth. The Hokage belonged to the military field, and he was not good at civil life. Cultivating Ninjas required a lot of money.

Assuming that a ninja could not take on missions to get money, what should he do?

Business or farming?

What was the difference between them and ordinary people? They might not even be better than ordinary people.

Besides, with powerful strength, who would be willing to do these things?

Some people would think that ninjas could rely on robbing civilians to survive.

The ninjas in the past also did the same.

Many ninjas did not have to produce and relied on plundering the civilians to obtain resources.

However, civilians were not stupid. They would attach themselves to the strong Ninja Clan and hand over a certain amount of resources in order to be protected.

In the end, almost every Ninja Clan had a subordinate civilian.

The imbalance of resources would lead to war.

After all was said and done, the ninjas were still fighting.

After the end of the Ninja era, the Warring States period appeared like this.

As for why the Hokage didn't make a name for himself, he was directly under the jurisdiction of the civilians.

This was related to the self-climbing attribute of humanity.

The Hokage was the Ninja, a country ruled by the Ninja, and the Ninja was bound to be superior.

No one was willing to be the bottom, even the bottom would do their best to make the next generation a ninja.

This would lead to a large number of people refining chakra and learning ninjutsu from a young age.

Most people would become ninjas, and to become a ninja, it meant that they would need to spend a lot of time training.

Society's productivity dropped sharply, and the ninjas still had to run farming like ordinary people.

What was the difference between this and the time of Ninja Sect?

There was only progress in the era and no regression.

The village system was to separate ninjas from ordinary people to avoid conflict.

From another perspective, the country was actually the manor of Ninja Village, and ordinary people were desperately producing.

It was the farm owner of the manor who was responsible for gathering the wealth produced and handing it over to the village in the form of funds and tasks.

While providing the village, it was also for the protection of the village.

The real powerful people all saw this.

These years, the rich and powerful people of the Fire Country kept migrating their descendants to Konoha.

It was to let the future generations win at the starting line.

This was also the reason why Konoha's land prices kept rising.

Therefore, the reason why the Hokage did not directly rule the country was to divide the rule.

Ninjas and civilians must be in two worlds, and when they are together, there will be all kinds of problems due to the imbalance in strength.

As for who was more famous, it depended on the person.

Normally speaking, the Hokage held absolute power, and his right to speak was far higher than his name.

However, his name had absolute authority in the hearts of the civilians, and he had absolute economic strength.

Now in a peaceful era, when the economy was growing rapidly, the right to speak of capital even surpassed force.

Of course, capital could only restrict force, but it did not have the ability to flip the table.

Just as he was thinking, Jin knocked on the door of the study and reported, "Sir, he has already fainted five times. If he continues to fight, he will die."

Uchiha Tunan put down the book and took a sip of tea. "So miserable. What did he do?"

"When he handed in the money today, he secretly hid three hundred taels."

"Three hundred taels..."

Uchiha Tunan sighed and said,

"Jin, you know me."

"I have always hated evil, and I hate people who are greedy for the law the most."

"In the northern city guard, the rule I set is law. He violated my rule, which is illegal, and it is a crime."

"Although it is only three hundred taels, his heart is dirty."

"There will be countless times when there is a first time. We can't catch him every time."

In order to prevent him from making a big mistake, it would be better to kill him and send him to Master Masaki Fukuda.

"Yes."

"By the way, how are the situation of the human trafficking organizations I asked you to pay attention to?"

"As per your instructions, I have already found out where they are hiding."

"It's just that they seem to have hired wandering ninjas."

Uchiha Tunan nodded and narrowed his eyes.

"Gather the people tomorrow night. I will personally lead the team to capture them."

"To save those suffering children."

"Sir is really kind."

Hearing this, Jin turned his hand and flattered.

Uchiha Tunan instantly became gentle and said righteously,

"As the captain of the northern city guards, I should punish evil and benefit the people."

"You don't have to flatter me. This is my duty."
