In mid-March, Year 56 of the Konoha Calendar, the City of Fire Bidding House, the capital of the Kingdom of Fire.
Yamazaki and Meidaizi were eating tea and looking at the brochure of the bidding house. A pearl necklace of ten top-grade black pearls, top-grade colored pearls, and luminous pearls, the size of an adult's thumb knuckle, was sold to someone from the Land of Fire for a price of 100 million taels. An old family bought it, and the bidding received 5 million taels, and there were still 95 million taels left.
"Young Master, Miss, have you noticed anything? We have a lot of good things here."
"Can the sin slave here really not escape?"
"Ah, please don't worry, little miss, even if you beat them to death, they will never fight back."
"I believe it's not illegal to beat them to death, but you don't fight back even if you beat them to death. What you said is too exaggerated."
"Little miss, you don't know something. They have received such education since they were young, and they respect the master in everything."
"Forget it."
"Of course, it's up to the young master's wish, so what else is there that you like?"
"No, please ask someone to take the money and go with me to the official replacement house."
"Okay, young master."...
Two houses.
"Saving money and belongings, buying property and buying sin slaves, all good, no problem, please register first."
Yamazaki and Meidaizi registered. Inanokunyama and Inanokundai received two identity cards. If they lose them, they have to apply for them again. The certificate is fingerprints and palmprints plus a deposit slip password or a password for the deposit lock.
Mei Daizi used space ninjutsu to move two boxes of jewelry and ten boxes of gold coins for deposit. The total value of the jewelry was estimated to be 500 million taels, and the standard gold coins were five tons, 100,000 coins, and 100 million taels. The person in charge of the two houses, Yasuaki Ikegami, They were all alarmed.
During the valuation period, Mei Daizi selected a beauty from the sin slave book. She was a commoner without a surname, Misaki. She was only 17 years old this year. Her mother died young and she seemed to have been smuggling with her father when she was less than ten years old.
Misaki's father was executed for murder, and she was sentenced to life imprisonment for multiple crimes including complicity in murder, smuggling, large quantities of illegal goods, and bribery.
Misaki has certain talents in accounting, taxation, and asset management. She is agile and knows how to drive a sea ship. She has been to many places, including deserts, and has experience in wild survival. She is a qualified candidate for the caravan leader, but she is too She is young and has a long sentence, so it costs five million taels to buy her.
And at this price, you can hire a better normal person for more than thirty years, so no one cares about it, and now he works as a laundryman in Liangdai House.
Mei Daizi said: "That's this beauty."
Yasuaki Ikegami said: "Yes, but please note that we only have the right to sell Fukuda Misaki's talent, not her body, so if you harass her or even violate her in the future, you will still be legally responsible."
Yamazaki said: "Understood, as long as there is no evidence."
"I never said this." Chishang Yasuo smiled, and then asked, "I wonder what you two want her to do? If you need to form a caravan, I can help you contact the guards."
Mei Daizi said: "No, we just want to buy land."
Yamazaki said: "We don't know much, let Misaki talk about the details."...
Not long after, Misaki was brought over. She was wearing a prison uniform, her hair was messy, and she didn't look very clean. She didn't look like a beauty at all.
Ikegami Yasuaki said: "Misaaki, these two will be your future masters."
Misaki said casually: "I know."
Ikegami Yasumi smiled and said: "Have a good attitude. If you don't do your job well, they will send you back. Do you still want to continue serving your sentence? You will do hard labor in prison all your life, and you will grow old day by day like that until you die inside. .”
Misaki was frightened, and her face changed. She gritted her teeth and looked at Yamazaki and Meidaizi. After much hesitation, she knelt down and bowed respectfully, "Misaki greets the two masters."
"Get up." Yamazaki said, and then told Misaki about his property and the property he planned to buy.
Misaki said: "Master, instead of buying property in the South County of the Konoha Forest, it is better to choose the North County of the Country of Tea, the East County of the Country of Kawakawa, or the South County of the Country of Yu. Although the safety is not as good, it is definitely possible. Acquire multiple times the amount of land.”
Meidaizi smiled and said: "The problem is, we are going to Konoha to learn ninjutsu."
"So that's it, then there's nothing we can do about it," Misaki said, then turned to Yasuaki Ikegami and said, "Would you like to make some extra money?"
Chishang Anming was speechless, "You are so direct, you are not afraid to go in again?"
"Oh, is it illegal to say the word "extra money"?" Misaki said, "Can you just tell me, if you don't want to help, it's the same thing if you ask Nanjun to do it later. It's easy for people to do business in this place."
Ikegami Yasumi said with a headache: "As you said, such a large land purchase transaction is easy to manipulate, and there is a lot of land over there. It's okay to give you more, but I am not in charge of the land."
"Are you worried about extra money? It's simple. If you sell a sinner like me, you will get a commission. My master needs a lot of manpower." Misaki smiled and said, "It's justifiable."
"This is exactly what I want." Chishang Yasuo smiled, and then went to find someone.
Yamazaki asked: "Misaki, I have a question, why don't you go directly to the county?"
Misaki said: "Master, the rank of Konoha Forest South Commandery is indeed higher than that of Ikegami Yasuaki, but his connections are definitely not as strong as Ikegami Yasuaki, otherwise he would not be the Konoha Forest South Commandery leader. That is considered marginal. area."
"Even if you go to the county governor, the county governor will still have to find officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Civil Affairs to modify the status of the land, such as converting fertile farmland into wasteland, and mines into barren mountains, and then ask the officials from Zhiwuyuan to change the measurement records. Ikegami Yasuaki can definitely do more. good."
Mei Daizi was surprised, "Is this okay?"
Misaki said: "It can be said that the fertile land has been damaged, and the mine is just a rough test. It is enough to say that the previous test was wrong. As long as the county executive does not specifically ask the inspectors to inspect, the inspectors who rely on the false inspection will be in trouble for several years." Don’t think about it. By then, the fertile land will be reclaimed, and the mines have just been opened, so this will save taxes.”
"Awesome." Mei Daizi praised.
Yamazaki asked: "With so many people involved, can it be successful?"
Misaki said: "It will definitely succeed. The land in remote areas is the best to manipulate."
"Well," Yamazaki thought for a moment, "Misaaki, we have a special status and must be the focus of observation. I'm afraid we can't do this."
Misaki was stunned for a moment, "Uh, may I ask which family the two masters are from?"
"I won't tell you for the time being. Please let someone notify Ikegami Yasuaki of his return first. We'd better do it in an upright manner." Yamazaki said, "It's okay to spend more money."
"Okay, since you said so, Master." Misaki said regretfully, and then asked two people from the house to inform Ikegami Yasuaki.
Soon after, Ikegami Yasuaki brought a man in his forties, Osamu Yoshida, a retainer of the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Chishang Yasuo was a little unhappy, "What's going on? Why did you regret it again?"
Yamazaki said: "We are not from the Land of Fire. We are afraid of something happening, so it is better to deal fairly."
"This will save trouble." Osamu Yoshida took out a map of the South County of Konoha Forest and pointed out the places that could be bought and sold.
"The resources on the map are not accurate. If you find a mine, remember to declare it, otherwise there will be heavy fines."
"The gold mining tax is nine levels, the silver mining tax is 70%, and there is a special mining supervisor. The other mining taxes are 50%. There will be inspections frequently."
“The tax on fish in the forest is 30%, or the tax is paid based on the comprehensive area and characteristics of the region. The former is suitable for individuals, while the latter is intended to encourage development.”
Yamazaki looked at it and found out that the middle area was the most expensive, followed by the area on the east side by the sea, and the area on the west side by the Kawanogoku was the cheapest.
Misaki reminded: "Master, I think the west side is better. To the west you can enter the Kingdom of Sichuan, to the Kingdom of Wind, and to the south you can go to the sea."
Yamazaki asked Meidaizi: "What do you think?"
Mei Daizi said: "I think if you want to buy something, just buy something expensive. If the thing is not good, it won't be expensive."
"Okay, then we want this mountain in the central zone." Yamazaki chose a mountain with a height of about 3,370 meters and an area of about 400 square kilometers. It has rich vegetation and animals and marked the price. Thirty million taels, and the tax rate is two million taels per year.
"Young master, don't you choose something bigger? There are taller mountains in Nan County."
"I wanted to find a smaller mountain, but this is the best fit."
Mei Daizi interrupted: "Brother, it's getting late, we have to go back."
Yamazaki said: "Okay, Misaki, the rest will be left to you. You can take care of the personnel and materials. In short, you have to prepare everything we need."
"There is also this space ninjutsu scroll." Mei Daizi handed over a space ninjutsu scroll, "Open it when you get back. I will inform you if anything happens."
"Yes, Master." Misaki took it with both hands. …
When Yamazaki and Meidaizi went back, Takayama Tomoya hadn't come back yet, but nothing happened, so they didn't go out.
By the time Takayama Tomoya came back, it was already evening, so he continued on the road the next day, and finally arrived in Konoha on April 1st. …
