The next day, Guan Liyuan easily boarded the Fuze Group's ship. After all, Guan Liyuan was a "pure person" that Wei Yingying personally admitted. Of course, a "pure person" is easily believed by others!
Guan Liyuan would not admit that part of the reason for this was that Nine Lama had just thrown the traitorous ninja hired by the Fuze Group from the ship...
The Nine Lamas are now in the second-tailed state, and their strength is comparable to that of ordinary jounin. Some of the strongest rebellious ninjas, who are only a few chuunin, cannot even make a splash in its hands.
Yes, the Tomizawa Consortium, like Cardo, also employs traitorous ninjas.
It's not that these big dogs are so stingy, but because the Kingdom of Water is still closed in name, and now they are smuggling, and the formal Ninja Village will not accept the mission of the Kingdom of Water in order to avoid diplomatic disputes.
Moreover, these large consortiums usually have some rebels who often cooperate with them.
"Fortunately, we don't have to stop at Thunder Country. We can reach the north of Taki Country in seven days."
"Well...so what? Why are you here? You still act like you should..." Guan Liyuan looked at Bai in front of him awkwardly.
"Nothing, Zabuza-sama just asked me to be your tool." Haku said expressionlessly.
"Huh?" Guan Li couldn't even remember his relationship with Hei Pi. When did he become so close?
What's even more puzzling is that although Bai's face is expressionless, there is no sign of reluctance...
Guan Liyuan actually occasionally thinks about letting Bai follow him. On the one hand, he appreciates Bai's will, and on the other hand, it's the indescribable adolescent symptoms of a fifteen-year-old boy... But it's just a thought, and he never does. Mentioned it with Haku or Zabuza!
The reason is very simple. Although Guan Liyuan does not understand and disagree with Bai's concept of living completely for others, Bai is also implementing his own will. This is what Guan Liyuan admires about her...
A ninja without a will of his own... No, a person without a will of his own is really just a "tool"!
Therefore, in Guan Liyuan's view, it makes no sense to twist her will and obtain a "vase".
But... Guan Liyuan is a little confused about the current situation.
"I don't need any 'tools', but I need a helper who has his own judgment." Guan Liyuan said.
"My own...judgment?" Bai was a little unfamiliar with this.
"That's right, you don't live for anyone else... Although being needed by others can make your life more meaningful, you can also change your life."
"Put another way? Aren't ninjas all 'tools'?"
"Then change your career to be a hero!" Guan Liyuan looked like this matter could be easily solved.
"Hero? I don't believe in heroes."
"Then did you expect a hero?"
Looking forward to... a hero?
Bai's eyes were a little wandering, and she couldn't help but think of some things that she usually forced herself not to think of...
My mother was beaten to death with sticks and farm tools, I was surrounded by vicious villagers, and there were pieces of flesh and blood all over the ground...
Have you ever looked forward to a hero?
"Being 'expected' by others sounds more noble than being 'needed' by others, right?"
Bai didn't fully understand Guan Liyuan's vocabulary, but she could understand its meaning at this moment.
"Is what you said before true?" Bai suddenly asked.
"Before? Before what?" Guan Liyuan didn't react for a moment.
Seeing Shiro staring at him motionless, I finally remembered those words, "Wars in the ninja world are caused by the imbalance of force resources and material resources", right?
Guan Liyuan thought it over carefully and then said: "...I do think so, but maybe there are some omissions in it, but look at this big dhow, you have seen such a ship on the way to the Kingdom of Waves. ?"
Guan Liyuan's words were a little jumpy. Bai Wenyan looked around and saw that this wave of merchant ships from the Fuze Consortium was mainly a three-masted dhow. The diagonal sail and stern rudder allowed the dhow to operate without relying on manpower. By paddling, you can achieve the purpose of traveling against the wind.
Although it is not as good as the more advanced steam ships, it is still much more advanced than those human-powered ships in the Kingdom of Waves.
"Maybe the richer Fire Country has more advanced ships. If everyone uses these advanced ships, how much manpower can be saved? The same is true for other industries... How many times can the manpower saved by then be used to create more products? Wealth? When the price of ninjas as a force resource increases, the conflicts between each department of the ninja group will naturally be alleviated. And as long as this 'price increase' continues and is faster than the expansion of the number of ninjas, peace will be It can be continued," Guan Liyuan said.
Bai was not very used to Guan Liyuan using theories full of the smell of copper to explain how to alleviate conflicts...
No matter how "money-grubbing" Zabuza was, Haku at least knew that Zabuza was laying the foundation for the Kirigakure village to seize power, and would not think that the smell of copper was so strong as Guan Liyuan said.
But this didn't stop Bai from understanding some of Guan Liyuan's meaning...
In fact, Guan Liyuan is also very curious about the development of material civilization in the "Naruto World". In some places, the shadow of electrical civilization can already be seen, while in other places, slash and burn farming is still taking place?
But after a second thought, I understood, because there is no intention to enter information civilization. In this case, if a more advanced material civilization wants to spread backward, the most effective way is to use force!
However, in the world of Naruto, material civilization is weak in terms of force. Ninjas are so strong in force that material civilization lacks the foundation to develop firearms...
If you have the skills to make gunpowder, wouldn't it be enough to hire two genin?
On the one hand, the force of ninjas is indeed more cost-effective than the development of weapons by material civilization. On the other hand, it also inhibits the development of force of material civilization...
Therefore, the final result is that whether the material civilization is advanced or not has little to do with the level of force. In real fighting, it is still relying on ninjas! Therefore, in terms of material civilization, this situation of fragmented development has been created.
After all, if a high-productivity civilization cannot plunder a low-productivity civilization by force, the low-productivity civilization may not be willing to take the initiative to accept it. There were too many examples of this in modern times before Guan Liyuan traveled. Without strong ships and artillery, would feudal kingdoms take the initiative to reform?
In the world of Naruto, no matter how high the productivity is, it does not mean high force. As long as the agricultural civilization has a strong ninja village, it will still rub the industrial civilization on the ground. Therefore, sometimes it will even cause the civilization with backward productivity to push back the civilization of productivity, causing the productivity to decline. Condition……
And judging from the way Nagato uses the Rinnegan to control the Six Paths clones, and the fact that major ninja villages must rely on spiritual ninjas to communicate, it is very difficult for various information waves to spread under the rules of the Naruto world, and I am afraid it will not Have the foundation to enter information civilization.
So Guan Liyuan doesn't know how to take a further step forward in the material civilization of the Naruto world...
But Guan Liyuan doesn't need to know, because judging from the current situation, as long as the productivity of the backward areas in the Naruto World is brought closer to the advanced areas... the room for improvement is already very objective, and can be maintained for at least several decades, or even A hundred years of peace!
"I understand, Master Liyuan, please allow me to do your work in the future... No, I will follow your footsteps!" Bai said firmly.
"my pleasure."
Seeing Bai finding a new goal in life, Guan Liyuan was also very pleased.
But after a while, Guan Liyuan discovered that Bai Ma was wandering around the boat with a small notebook, memorizing something from time to time, and asking people on the boat from time to time...
[Does this guy really understand? What needs to be promoted is ideas rather than specific technologies! Otherwise, how much can you remember by just taking notes? ] Guan Liyuan complained in his heart, but it did not dampen her enthusiasm.
Time goes back to the night before. After Guan Liyuan rested, Shiro also soaked in the hot springs. When Zabuza was about to take over and was on guard in the lobby, Zabuza talked about asking her to follow Guan Liyuan...
At first Haku refused, but Zabuza actually saw before that Haku was interested in what Guan Liyuan said when he was in Wave Country. He suppressed this interest only because he wanted to continue to be his own tool.
Zabuza didn't persuade her, he just said that he would give this tool to Guan Liyuan...
Zabuza couldn't understand what he was thinking at that time? To this day, he still wonders whether he was under an illusion at that time. Why did he give up such a useful tool?
Could it be...that I was thinking about Bai?
Impossible, absolutely impossible! Well, it must be that boy who cast some illusion on me at that time! Forget it, let's not argue with him for now... Zabuza convinced himself.
