Chapter 344 Progress

Yiji received Dazna, a bridge-building expert, in the lounge, and naturally knew that Dazna was threatened by letters from unknown forces at home.

Looking at Dazna's terrified expression, Kazuki's performance was very calm and calm. Whether it was overtly or secretly, this kind of thing had been expected from the beginning.

If the dark forces do nothing, Kazuki will feel strange.

Now that the opponent has made a move, it means that the opponent is preparing to make a move on the chessboard, officially planning to play a game with the Kingdom of Ghosts behind the scenes.

"I already know about this, Mr. Dazner, you can lead the workers to construct normally, and I will send ninjas to keep an eye on the construction site at that time, and nothing will happen."

Ichihime comforted Darzna like this.

However, this little consolation did not give Dazner a sense of security, and he said with a pessimistic attitude: "If they directly threaten our workers' families..."

Dazner is concerned about this.

"Please rest assured about this point. Although the secret enemy is not yet clear, judging from the fact that they are only threatening letters, it is obvious that they will not fight us in the open. I will send my subordinates to track them down. If necessary, I will obstruct their actions. For the workers in the country of Bo, this is one of the rare jobs that can support their families, isn't it?"

"But"

"There is nothing to be ashamed of. The military power of our ghost country can be compared with that of a big country. Those forces that cannot be put on the table can only make some small moves in secret. Or is Mr. Dazner planning to breach the contract?"

Although he said this casually, it also meant to warn Dazna.

Sure enough, after saying these words, Dazna was immediately speechless.

Indeed, those who have already signed the work contract have no room for repentance.

Furthermore, when they go fishing in nearby waters, they also risk being attacked by pirates. Compared with being attacked by unreasonable pirates, they are protected by ninja power, but it is safer than going fishing in nearby waters.

"Then leave our safety to Miss Yiji."

Dazner sighed in his heart, it was just a normal job commission, why did this happen?

Although he has a lot of status among the workers, he has not yet had extensive contacts, and he doesn't know who is blocking their normal construction, even to the point of threatening with letters.

Now the safety of these workers can only depend on Kazuhime, the businessman lady who came to the country of Waves from a foreign country to invest in the industry.

After all, what the rich and powerful are fighting has nothing to do with ordinary people like them.

No matter what, it's not really possible to take out their anger on these irrelevant people.

After talking about the matter, Dazna got Kazuhime's guarantee and left.

Not long after Dazna left, a Shinobi from the Ghost Kingdom came in and reported:

"Miss, according to your instructions, we have already acquired the newspaper offices in the land of waves, but in order not to attract attention, we have only acquired three of them so far, and we have not taken any action on the rest."

After listening to the report of this Jnin, Ichihime nodded and said: "The three families are enough for the time being. These are our mouthpieces in the land of waves. We must protect them well and don't give anyone an opportunity to take advantage of them."

The Kingdom of Waves is a small country where the people at the bottom live in extreme hardship.

Pirates, the rise of various illegal industries in the country, forming a very terrifying profit network.

If you want to tear up such a network of interests, you must touch the interests of many masterminds behind the scenes.

The merchants on the isolated island want to turn the Kingdom of Waves into their second paradise. Although the plan has not yet been implemented, Yi Ji does not intend to wait for them to implement the plan before starting to act.

Now that you know the opponent's purpose, then drag the opponent into your own rhythm.

After all, with the strength of his own side, it is obviously not qualified to wrestle with the merchant alliance on the isolated island.

The profit network formed by the businessmen there is intricate, and it affects the whole body.

If she waits until the opponent's plan officially begins, then her actions in the Kingdom of Waves are likely to end in failure.

Because once the ninja force is officially involved, the Merchant Alliance is indeed vulnerable, but at that time, the Nation of Fire is bound to be formally involved.

The Kingdom of Waves is an important outpost in the sea area of the Kingdom of Fire. Once the Kingdom of Ghosts touches the bottom line, the Kingdom of Fire will not hesitate to open its fangs and launch an armed counterattack.

Whether she knows the plan of the isolated island merchant or not, Kazuhime is very clear that there is only one enemy from beginning to endthe Land of Fire.

"The protection personnel have already been arranged. In addition, the Hinata ninjas who followed him continued to survey the treasure locations of the daimyo and those nobles, and finally found them."

Junin from the Kingdom of Demons continued to report.

Yiji froze for a moment.

"There really are."

"Yes, because we didn't act rashly without the eldest lady's order, and we didn't attract anyone's attention."

"It seems that the merchant alliance on the isolated island, or the land of fire, the daimyo of the land of waves must have contacted. I just don't know which side he took refuge in, was he bought by the merchant alliance with more money, or..."

Yiji's expression became serious.

If the Namokuni roster traded with the merchant alliance on the isolated island, Kazuki would think it would be a little troublesome at best.

What she is most worried about is that the daimyo of the Land of Waves secretly defected to the Land of Fire, intending to make the Land of Waves a vassal state of the Land of Fire.

Or, the daimyo of the Land of Waves has long surrendered to the Land of Fire secretly, and now there is only one suitable excuse for the successful plan of the Land of Fire.

"What will Missy do next?"

"Take the initiative to test it out. Those who attacked me a while ago still have a few alive. Take them with you and ask their behind-the-scenes employers to recover their debts."

Ninety percent of the illegal pornography, gambling, and drug industries in the Kingdom of Persia are the products of crowdfunding by the merchant alliance on the isolated island.

Among them, gangster forces are violent organizations that **** these industries.

The person who attacked her a while ago was a ninja among this group of gangsters.

Obviously obeying someone's instructions to test her side.

Since this is the case, let's simply force the merchant alliance on the isolated island to show up and let them turn from darkness to light. It will be much easier to deal with.

"yes."

The Kingdom of Demons responded with a renunciation, and walked out with a solemn expression, mobilized troops, and officially launched operations against the gangster forces in the Kingdom of Waves.

Island.

In a resplendent city, in the top meeting room of a certain building, big businessmen from all over the ninja world hold regular meetings here.

"Damn the kingdom of ghosts, is this going to officially start a war against us?"

Received an urgent letter from the Kingdom of Waves. A high-status businessman, his beard trembled with anger, and a cold and fierce light appeared in his eyes, as if he chose to devour someone.

"What happened, so angry?"

A businessman who didn't know the specifics of the matter asked.

"The two gang strongholds we set up in the Kingdom of Waves were destroyed by the Kingdom of Ghosts just this morning, and the expansion of some industries was also affected. If we continue to let this situation develop, our plans will also be postponed."

The businessman who spoke in a panic before replied.

"The country of ghosts? I heard that someone organized an attack before. Why do you have nothing to provoke them?"

Although they are part of the plan of the Kingdom of Waves, some conservative businessmen still don't want to provoke the Kingdom of Ghosts, which is now in full swing.

The only thing they can beat the ghost country is probably the combined financial resources.

"It was just a temptation, and we didn't intend to really turn against them. After all, we don't know what the purpose of the Kingdom of Ghosts is in the Kingdom of Bo, so we always have to ask for directions."

said the aggressive businessman.

"Since this is the case, then it is enough to avoid conflicts with the ghost kingdom. This time, it will be a loss. After defeating the ghost kingdom of the wind kingdom, I don't want to provoke such a terrifying enemy."

Timid merchants still intend to implement a conservative policy and not provoke powerful or uncontrollable enemies.

"However, if you don't know what the Kingdom of Ghosts has arranged in the Kingdom of Waves, what if their purpose conflicts with ours? The Kingdom of Waves is our second 'headquarters'."

"It's a stupid way to use attacks to test, but it's true. If you don't know what the ghost kingdom is planning in the kingdom of Bo, then it will go against our plan, and conflicts will be very troublesome. At least now we have time to prepare."

"Send someone to negotiate with them, at least let them remain neutral. Or, if the kingdom of ghosts is also brought into the alliance of interests, the prestige of our alliance will be more reliable."

A businessman makes a bold assumption.

"The Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce clearly rejected us in the past, so it would be a little bad to invite us again at this time?"

"The situation is different. In the past, the Kingdom of Ghosts needed to hide, so the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association was inconvenient. But now the Kingdom of Ghosts has gained a high enough international status, and our Merchant Alliance can obtain more benefits for them. I don't trust their country's high-level officials, and I don't want to make more money. The contacts on our side are also what they urgently need."

The businessman who said this immediately aroused the high recognition of the rest of the businessmen.

Indeed, the international situation in the past is completely different from the present.

Although the country of ghosts has now gained a certain international status, it still has very few allies in the world, it can be said that there are almost none.

If you want to gain more international status, you will definitely need contacts and money.

And these are things that their merchant alliance can provide.

At that time, they can also pry open the commercial market of the ghost country by the way, deploy their industries in the ghost country, collect wealth together, and build a huge commercial empire comparable to big countries.

"It's a good idea... But who should go?"

"How about Oya Castle?"

"That guy, he didn't seem to come to this meeting. He left the island in a hurry a few days ago, and there should be urgent matters to deal with outside."

"He's really unreliable. He is basically absent from every important meeting. Forget it, as long as he can inject funds in time, that's enough. Anyway, he can only be regarded as a non-staff member."

It's not that Oyajo's commercial strength is insufficient, but that the other party is too free-wheeling. As businessmen, they also feel distressed by the other party's enigmatic personality, and have no idea what the other party is pursuing in their minds.

Therefore, the absence of the other party in every important meeting, as partners in the community of interests, they are also used to it.

If the other party can participate in the meeting normally, it will look a little different.

"Then, since Oya Castle is not here, let me go to the Kingdom of Ghosts. My company had some transactions with companies under the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association before, and I could barely talk to their high-level executives. If I have their introduction, I can easily meet the Minister of Military Affairs of the Kingdom of Ghosts."

Standing up was a middle-aged man with a slightly bloated body, and said quite dignifiedly.

The current actual ruler of the ghost country, according to the information they have learned, is Chiba Shiraishi, the military minister of the ghost country, and the other party is the actual controller of the military.

It can also be said that he is the most powerful person in the kingdom of ghosts.

Because the witches of all dynasties in the kingdom of ghosts have implemented the strategy of ruling but not ruling.

Therefore, in order to win over the power of the ghost country and build a stronger business empire, persuading Chiba Shiraishi to join is the key.

He believes that as long as enough benefits are given, it is a certainty that the ghost country will become one of them.

Even a big country cannot completely ignore the connections and wealth they have built up, let alone a new powerful country called Ghost Country that desperately needs allies to stabilize its position.

Destroyed two strongholds of gangsters and destroyed the profit network built by some illegal industries. Neither the merchant alliance on the isolated island nor the Daimyo, who is actually in power in the country of Waves, made any response, not even a symbolic resistance.

Therefore, after causing a brief disturbance, the matter passed peacefully.

This kind of thing didn't meet Kazuki's expectations, and she was a little confused.

If it is said that Namanokuni Daimyo did not respond because of his uncertain position, it is quite normal. But the direct damage target was the Merchants Alliance on the isolated island, and there was no sign of it at all, which made Yiji feel a little abnormal.

If the large army of the Oni Kingdom enters the Land of Waves, it is not difficult for the opponent to swallow their anger. However, only a small part of the Army of the Oni Kingdom is concentrated in the Kingdom of Waves, and the Merchant Alliance has no response to this, which makes Kazuki very puzzled.

This kind of confusion didn't last long for Kazuki, because then Dazna began to formally lead the workers to build the factory.

Ichihime also instructed the Nanokuni Newspaper, which was acquired, to report the incident in the territory of Namokuni.

But most people didn't respond to the information in the newspaper about helping to boost the industrial capacity of the country of Waves. Their only thought was to know whether the country of ghosts needs to hire more workers.

Under the suppression of the illegal industry of pornography, gambling and drugs, many local industries in Bozhi Kingdom have been severely squeezed. Coupled with the rampage of pirates, countless unemployed people have been created in the country. Many people have the strength to support their families, but they lack ways.

Concerned about the country's future and their stomach problems, they readily chose the latter.

For this, Yi Ji also gave enough understanding.

After revealing the news that they will continue to hire workers in the future, they stopped responding and focused their attention on Dazner.

As for Dazna, after the initial panic, he found that no one from the construction site came to interfere. After several days of continuous construction, not only the work on the construction site was not disturbed, but also the threatening letter like before did not appear at his home, which made Dazner temporarily relieved and devoted all his energy to the construction of the factory.

Salary is paid monthly, and three meals are provided for free on the construction site every day. Although the food provided for free is not very exquisite, as long as it can fill the stomach, the workers working on the construction site dare not expect too much.

For such a generous employer, although there are some sneaky people, more workers still work with 200% enthusiasm. For those workers who steal, play tricks, or secretly slack off, Yiji will naturally give a stern warning, saying that their wages will be deducted.

It is not enough to blindly give these workers a relaxed environment. No matter how much you praise them, they are now just a group of people who make a living and do not have the power to really change the country.

Most importantly, the time has not yet come.

Establish a factory to drive the industries of the Land of Waves, buy newspapers, strive to control a certain amount of public opinion in the Land of Waves, and use the mouthpiece to speak out so as not to fall into the passiveness of public opinion.

The next step is to establish a disciplined organization, provide ideological guidance, and infiltrate from the bottom.

After that, you can really do something.

The strength of power depends on whether it is organized or not.

This is the difference between strong and weak.

In this era of only pursuing enough to eat, Ichihime is not so naive as to hope that these low-level people will devote themselves to the same path as the ghost country.

Blind propaganda alone is too pale, and the mobilization ability is also poor. Only after experiencing strong stimulation and resistance, the mobilization ability of the people at the bottom of the country will be proactive.

"I really want to thank you, miss. Without you, our workers' families will start to starve again this year."

During the lunch break, Dazna ran over sweating and expressed his gratitude to Kazuki.

Yiji waved her hands and said with a smile: "The most important thing for businessmen in our ghost country is an equal and fair contract. This is the labor reward you deserve. To be honest, the industrial capacity of this country is too poor, and the machinery used for construction is also very old."

Pointing to the old-fashioned crane not far away, it was already covered with rust, and there were many inflexible places to operate it.

Not only that, the crane is very large, and many parts are too bloated.

In this way, it will affect the construction efficiency of the factory.

Facing Ichiji's unhesitating sarcasm, Dazna could only smile helplessly: There's nothing I can do about it. Our country of Waves is a small country, and domestic businessmen aren't particularly rich. In addition to the group of pirates outside, there are even fewer people coming here to invest Sigh.

Speaking of this, Dazner could only sigh softly.

Although life was difficult in the past, it is not as difficult as it is today.

However, in recent years, with the rampant pirate forces, many illegal industries have been born in the country. Many poor families sell their sons and daughters.

This also caused the shrinkage of other industries, causing many people to lose their jobs and sources of income.

Ichiji ignored Dazna's complaints, but remembered something and said: By the way, I have sent someone to find the person who threatened you with a letter that day. It was a good thing that a group of gangsters hired ninjas to do.

"Gangster?"

"Well, although I sent people to destroy some of them, those gangsters are not behind the scenes. There are other people behind the scenes, and they are still under investigation for the time being."

Ichihime nodded.

"Why did they come over and threaten me? I usually don't get in trouble with them. Usually when I meet them, I will retreat and avoid them. I don't want to get involved."

The gangs are huge, Dazna doesn't want to get himself into unnecessary trouble, and avoiding these powerful gangs is his only choice.

"It's aimed at me. They don't want my factory to be successfully built in the Kingdom of Waves and take away the benefits from them. They use intimidation or coercion just to ensure that their own interests are not lost."

Ichihime replied.

Dazner didn't ask any more questions. These things cannot be solved by an ordinary person with no power or influence.

Knowing too much can also put yourself in a dangerous situation.

He still has a daughter and a grandson to raise, and the burden of the family is on his shoulders alone. Being careful is the life creed that Dazner has always believed in.

His current job is to lead the workers to build the factory honestly and dutifully according to Yiji's request until the contract is terminated.

After the break, Dazna picked up the straw hat, blew the dust off it, put it on his head, and walked towards the construction site.

Yiji watched Dazna leave, staring at the back of the other party, first frowned, then shook her head, as if she was not very satisfied with Dazna.

"Although the mobilization ability and reputation are very good, but due to being too old, I have wasted half my life and lost the aggressiveness of my youth. This is still a problem. After thinking about it, I still feel that it is not suitable, but I can barely be included in the candidate list. Moreover, the country of fire has not moved so far. Do you want to deal with the merchant alliance on the isolated island first?"

Sitting on the construction site, Kazuki began to meditate, thinking seriously.
