Yumi Hinata announced herself as Izumi Kage Empress at the simple ceremony of the establishment of the Tangin Village.
The daimyo and ministers of the Country of Hot Water have been waiting for her next move.
In the past month, the nobles have not just huddled together in the city and shivered as they watched Yumi Hinata beat up the ninjas of various countries and villages outside the city.
They are also collecting information about Yumi Hinata's past.
After Yumi Hinata left the Akatsuki,
Naturally, the underground money exchange center would not have any extra protection for her information.
As long as you give her enough money,
She will tell you everything she knows in exchange for money.
The Country of Hot Water will definitely be willing to spend this money.
After gathering the think-tanks to study Hyuga Yumi's past experience,
They agreed that Yumi Hinata was a ninja who loved to flip the table.
That is to say,
When she couldn't achieve her goal, she preferred to be simple and crude rather than carefully calculating step by step,
Directly solving the problem with force.
For example, when she had a conflict with someone in Konoha and was not satisfied with the result, according to the nobles' understanding,
The next step should be to propose a condition, negotiate back and forth, wipe away the face, and what's inside?
She didn't. She directly killed the head of the Hyuga family and betrayed Konoha.
For example, when she was short of money, she directly came to the Country of Hot Water to collect protection fees. Not only did she clearly mark the price, but she also gave people the opportunity to put a bounty on her. If she wasn't extremely confident in her own strength and wasn't extremely impatient with normal solutions, she wouldn't do such a thing.
To put it bluntly,
They were all typical ninja-style solutions that didn't use their brains.
But compared with those S-class defectors, whether it was the way she killed or the number,
None of them were the most violent type.
"This is good news." The Chancellor of the Exchequer said,
"She should be easy to fool,
If she wants a Ninja Village, we'll give her the one farthest from the capital and tell her that it's rich in resources and simple folk customs. That 50 million Ryo … Oh, by the way, she doubled it to 100 million Ryo. I don't think we need to pay her all at once. Let's see what she needs. We can use materials and wages to offset it. Ninja villages always need food, building materials, workers to build roads and houses, and so on. "
Tang Zhiguo rolled his eyes at the important minister: "Okay, then I will leave this matter to you. When you die in the line of duty, I will let your brother take over your position."
The Finance Minister was rendered speechless for a long time.
Daimyo Tang Zhiguo scolded, "The ninjas we usually see are not as good as her, not to mention that we have only seen a few ninjas in our own guards! You said it yourself that she doesn't negotiate and will kill if she's not satisfied. If you want to fool her, go ahead! "
The Finance Minister asked awkwardly, "Then what do you mean?"
Tang Zhiguo sighed: "As long as she can be like what she said, she can live in peace with money every year. That's the best. Money is used to solve problems."
The Finance Minister couldn't help but break his fantasy, "But now it doesn't seem to be the case. According to the convention, the sphere of influence of the Ninja Village is the village and the surrounding area. Yumi Hinata lives in the city all the time. She doesn't have the slightest intention to rebuild the Yuin Village or delimit her sphere of influence. Then what does she mean? Her sphere of influence is our capital? Or the whole Yuin Village? She must want to do something to the Yuin Village. "
What do you want to do? Enslave people, build a base, experiment with ninjutsu, rule the world, and live forever?
Anyway, no matter what the powerful and cruel ninjas do, their ultimate purpose is always these.
Tang Zhiguo said sincerely, "I hope she doesn't build the Yuin Village because she is not interested. Her only purpose is to spend money."
The Finance Minister flipped through the investigation report of Yumi Hinata in his hand, "But she didn't spend much money in the Yuin Village in the past three months." He thought for a moment and added, "It's also possible that ninjas have no concept of money and think that they are already very extravagant?"
In the Yuin Village's nobles day after day, half a month passed. Yumi Hinata, who was holding a 100 million Ryo deposit receipt, didn't do anything unusual. She didn't make any demands on the political, military, economic, cultural policies and the current situation of the Yuin Village. It's as if she realized her mistake after breaking the rules and flipping the table. She gently put the table back and played cards with her opponent.
The Minister of Finance felt gratified as he clutched his chest and cried out, "One hundred million taels! A deposit receipt! She's just holding it in her hand! She won't be like this until she spends it all, right?! How much profit will she lose?! That's all our money! Let the bank earn it! "
Hyuga Yumeili seemed to hear his wailing, and within two days, news came that she began to look for a place to buy land and build a house in the city.
"The first two years will be an experimental period to see what level ordinary people can reach in learning ninjutsu." Yumi Hinata said, "If they can reach one-third or even one-fourth of the level of the Konoha Shinobi School, this matter will be very promising."
The Yuin Village's special financial advisor, the owner of the hotel, Shimitani Katsu, asked, "Daimyo, do you want to select ninjas from the civilians?"
He originally thought that this ninja didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth or that her brain was not working well. She openly did such a thing in the capital of the Yuin Village, but the battle scene outside the city last month, even if only the aftershock was passed to the city, it was still an eye-opener for him, and his thoughts immediately changed.
Later, Yumi Hinata received funding from the Yuin Village to build a school. She hired him as a consultant to run errands, and Shimitani Katsu immediately agreed.
Although this Yuin Village has the temperament of a grassroots group at present, everything is difficult at the beginning, and who knows what will happen in the future.
"No." Yumi Hinata said, "The current number of people in the Yuin Village is very good. I, Izukage, you, Ninja Suigetsu, and Ah Tai, the summon beast, we have all aspects. Unless there are talented students who strongly want to join as ninjas in the future, we can continue to maintain this scale. "
"The main purpose of my school," Yumi Hinata thought about it, and took out the trick to fool Jiraiya, "is to enrich the cultural and entertainment life of the people of the Yuin Village, that is, myself."
Shimitani Katsu looked at her blankly.
Yumi Hinata didn't care what he thought. During this time, she didn't continue to stay in the hotel like an otaku with nothing to do. She walked around the streets all day, and sat in the tavern for half a day listening to people's conversations, just to understand the actual situation of the Yuin Village.
The result was similar to what she saw before in the Fire Nation. Only the wealthier citizens, merchants, and nobles would send their children to schools that fit their social class. Most of the poor never thought of deliberately sending their children to school to learn something. Sending their children to apprenticeship is already a very good plan. And this is only for the citizens of the city. In the wealthy villages, there are only private schools, and in the more remote villages, there is no concept of school. Even the best schools are far inferior to the ninja schools of the major ninja villages.
For example, in Konoha, when Yumi Hinata went to school, it was wartime, and what she learned was mainly combat and practical, but before she left Konoha, Konoha Ninja School had already begun to teach familiar mathematics and physics.
Ninjas who can use Ninjutsu have a far better understanding of the world than civilians who can't use Chakra.
And what Shimitani Katsu said before is also true. Since the vast majority of people won't take Ninja as a profession in the future, if they teach Ninjutsu and combat, even if there are subsidies to solve the financial problem of children going to school, their enthusiasm won't be high.
"For the first two years, my school will be based on ordinary schools. The only difference is that I will hire ninjas to teach, and the content of the textbooks will be slightly different, and they will teach how to refine and use Chakra." Yumi Hinata said, "According to Konoha's research, children can generally feel the existence of Chakra when they are four to six years old, and Chakra can be refined in the early years of physical development. If they are supplemented with enough nutrition, their physical fitness will be better than children who don't use Chakra. Even if they don't become ninjas in the future, having good hearing and vision and sensitive limbs is not a bad thing, right? "
Shimitani Katsu was nervous: "Then my son is almost nine years old, will he still have time?"
"Of course." Yumi Hinata said, "I heard that in Konoha's ninja school now, people only start refining Chakra in their second year of school, which is around eight years old. At that time, children's bodies are better, and refining Chakra will be easier. "
After saying this, Yumi Hinata couldn't help but feel that children nowadays are really lucky. When she was in the ninja school, because she had to go to the battlefield after graduation, the entrance exam was quite strict, and the ratio was almost one in a hundred.
Although it didn't test the application of Ninjutsu or the refinement of Chakra, the requirements for physical fitness were very high.
Those who could pass were either children who started refining Chakra before school started, or children who were born with great strength and quick reflexes.
Children who could meet these requirements were like seedlings who could join the track and field team in the future.
However, the graduation requirements were very low. Hatake Kakashi was a special case, and there were already quite a few children like her who graduated at the age of eight. Even the more average children left school around the age of ten to prepare for the battlefield.
Now, the entrance requirements were lowered, and the graduation requirements were raised. According to Kakashi, almost all students had to stay in school for six years. Even if one's combat strength was enough to become a qualified genin, the requirements for cultural knowledge would not be relaxed.
In the eyes of traditional ninjas, this might mean that each generation would be worse than the last, but Yumi Hinata preferred the current direction of development.
"Mr. Sheng, please take note of this." Yumi Hinata began to act like a boss. "Find five experienced teachers and combine their opinions to come up with a preliminary curriculum for elementary school students."
Shimitani Katsu asked, "Elementary school students?"
"That means children who start school at the age of six. They should be able to graduate by the age of twelve. For those who have a desire to learn more, we can set up an advanced school later. But let's leave it at that for now," Yumi Hinata said. "Give me a few more plans to choose from."
"There are also teaching materials. You're a successful businessman. Please choose the most practical and the least practical ones from the teaching materials, as well as the ones that you think the children will be able to use in the future but are currently not taught in school. However, they must have general knowledge of the history and geography of various countries, simple mathematical calculations, the use of the abacus, bookkeeping, quick calculations, and yes, appreciation of philosophy and literature. " She casually listed a few poetry, prose, and novel collections that left a deep impression on her. "These can be used as a reference."
Shimitani Katsu stopped taking notes and smiled bitterly. "I don't have the ability to appreciate such things."
"Don't worry. Just hire someone with the ability to appreciate such things." Yumi Hinata was very confident when it came to spending money. "Right, hire an accountant as well. He'll be responsible for the school's preparation and operation accounts."
"Find a few more ninjas and ask them who is willing to accept a long-term assignment as a teacher. The price is negotiable. I'll interview all of them. Also, find a place in the city where I can sell a large piece of land. The suburbs are fine too, but it shouldn't be too remote. The area should be big enough to hold fifty classrooms and ten practice fields. "Yumi Hinata said." If the place is suitable and the other party isn't willing to sell it, we can increase the price accordingly. Once we've settled on the location, help me contact the builder … "
"Wait," Shimitani Katsu interrupted her. "My lord, do you know how much it would cost to buy such a piece of land?"
Yumi Hinata shook her head. She knew how much the hot spring villa outside the city cost. When she first came to the Land of Hot Spring, she was mesmerized by the beautiful scenery and comfortable life here. She wanted to buy a big house and settle down. After asking for the price, she turned around and found an inn in the city to stay.
Shimitani Katsu sighed. "If you want to buy land in the city, the one hundred million taels of silver you have is nothing at all."
Yumi Hinata was a little hesitant. "Ask the daimyo for more? Isn't it not good to ask for too much all of a sudden? It's better to ask him directly … "
Shimitani Katsu instructed his boss, "Since you said that you want to do experiments in the first two years, why do you want to buy such a big place all of a sudden? You don't want to sell the land to make money in the future. When you do experiments, you'll have at most a few dozen students. One or two classrooms should be enough. As for the practice fields for ninjutsu, I've seen the young masters practice with each other these days. Children won't need a lot of space in the beginning. A courtyard as big as my house is enough. "
"If you want peace and quiet, find a place in the city to buy a courtyard. If you want to make it more convenient, I can wait until spring when there are fewer customers and then rent a courtyard to you. There's also a discount for long-term rentals. As for the other teachers you mentioned, quality is more important than quantity. Since there are fewer students, we don't need to hire teachers from other schools. We can just hire the best teachers from other schools to work part-time. The price per person is high, but we can still save money. "
"As for the teaching materials and subjects, they can be used for many years. Now, we should think about it carefully. However, I'm afraid that won't work if you want to save money and let others do it. You've explained it to me several times, but I still don't understand what kind of school you want. I'm afraid that others will also find it difficult to understand. I can contact an expert in this field for you to discuss it with you, but you'll have to do the specifics yourself. "
Yumi Hinata thought about it and sighed deeply, "You're right. I've been a ninja for too long. I've forgotten about these things. Let's do it step by step."
She looked at the notes that Shimitani Katsu had taken down and frowned for a long time, "It seems that something is still missing."
Shimitani Katsu reminded her, "Enrollment and tuition."
This time, Yumi Hinata knew to ask for the expert's opinion first, "Do you have any suggestions?"
Shimitani Katsu thought for a moment and said, "Since you don't mind money, then it's easy. When the preparations are done, I'll hire someone to put up advertisements. It's inevitable that it will be difficult to enroll new students, but there's no tuition fee and meals. However, if the students' foundations are too weak, I'm afraid that the good teachers won't be willing to teach them. "
"Let's do that." Yumi Hinata decided, "If the teachers are really good, we can add more money until they're willing to come."
After a month of preparation, Yumi Hinata finally decided on the various subjects and teaching materials for the school by referring to the basic education in her previous life, the various local private schools, workshops, and Chakra and ninjutsu.
After discussing these matters with Shimitani Katsu, she immediately changed her mind and said, "Alright, I'll leave these matters to you in the future. I appoint you as the first principal of Tangyin Village Elementary School. There aren't many students now, so there's not much to do. Your annual salary will be 150,000 taels of silver, with an increase of 5% every year. At the end of each year, you'll receive an additional bonus depending on the school's performance.
Yumi Hinata had learned her lesson over the past month. She was indeed not a patient person.
On the first day, she read through the various elementary school teaching materials collected by Shimitani Katsu until one o 'clock in the morning. However, after reading for three days, she was about to throw up. She still had to meet with experienced teachers, put forward her own requirements, check the results of others, and interview the ninjas and teachers. Since she was teaching ninjutsu and taijutsu, it was inevitable that students would get injured. She also had to contact the reliable nearby medical centers in advance. There were all kinds of miscellaneous tasks that she had never thought of. She never knew that running a private school with dozens of students would be so troublesome.
Finally, one day, Yumi Hinata came to a realization. I wasn't a management talent in my previous life. Now that I've been fighting and killing for more than a decade, the processing function of my brain has probably deteriorated. Why am I making things so difficult for myself? I'll just find a professional manager. Can't I just make requests and give money?
Shimitani Katsu was stunned when he heard this. He joined this grassroots group to try his best to take advantage of the situation, but he didn't expect to see results so quickly. In fact, he was already receiving a generous salary from running all over the place for Yumi Hinata. Although his family had a business and didn't lack money, he didn't work for nothing.
Shimitani Katsu smiled bitterly. "You're too hasty. Are you really serious about this? Let's not talk about how much money this will cost. Your expectations for the students' future are probably different from other schools. How can you trust me so easily when you're leaving all this to me? "
He was indirectly criticizing her. I'm following you because I want to make a career out of it. Let's not talk about whether or not my career will succeed. If you're going to treat this as a game, then I won't be able to accompany you as I am now.
Yumi Hinata smiled. "Financial independence. Didn't you hire an accountant? Come to me if you need more than a hundred thousand taels. I trust Mr. Sheng's ability. If you want to do it, you'll definitely be able to do it well. Besides, it's not that I don't care about it. I'm just saying something offensive. Do you know that some ninjas know something called genjutsu? I'm quite good at it. It's impossible for an ordinary person to deceive a ninja who knows genjutsu. "
"In any case, since we have money now, we can solve reasonable problems with money. As for unreasonable problems — "
