NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 274: Compensation For The Defeat Of The Kingdom Of Wind
In just a few minutes, the war was over.
The disparity in strength between the two sides is too great, just like five thousand hunting dogs encountering three thousand lions. Even though they have the advantage in numbers, the gap in individual strength is too large and they will collapse at the first touch.
Of the five thousand warriors of the Kingdom of Wind, more than four thousand died and three hundred were captured. The rest realized something was wrong at first and fled early.
On the other hand, here in the Bird Watching Country, there were zero deaths, no serious injuries, and only minor injuries.
The double speed allows them to easily avoid vital parts of the body when facing attacks.
Mizuki, who was watching the battle not far away, nodded.
"good!"
The next day, Mizuki came to the Daiming Mansion and saw the Daimyo Toki.
"Mizuki-sama, I can win this battle, thanks to your secret medicine. Mizuki-sama's grace to the Bird Kingdom will never be forgotten by everyone in the Bird Kingdom."
Mizuki smiled and said: "The support of the Daimyo is indispensable."
"However, the victory in this battle is just the beginning. Next, please ask the daimyo for compensation from the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind."
The daimyo nodded and said: "The Kingdom of Wind took the initiative to attack. We won the war. It is natural to ask for compensation. I don't know how much compensation we should ask for?"
Mizuki said: "There are 30,000 warriors in the Bird Country. They lost 27,000 in this battle and only 3,000 are left. Each warrior's pension is 100,000 taels. There are 27,000 people. A total of 2.7 billion taels are needed. Erase A fraction of that, even 3 billion taels."
Daimyo:…
Is this called erasing? This is clearly a reverse erasure...
Mizuki continued: "The entire people of the Bird Country have been severely frightened by the hasty attack of the Wind Country. Everyone needs mental damage compensation. Ten thousand taels per person is enough."
"Oh, by the way, Lord Daimyo, how many people are there in Bird Country?"
Ibis said: "According to statistics at the beginning of the year, the total number of people in Bird Country is close to 300,000."
Mizuki nodded and said: "Three hundred thousand at the beginning of the year, but there are a lot of immigrants this year, and there are many new-born children, so it would be better to give it half a million."
"Ten thousand taels per person, 500,000 people, that's 5 billion taels."
Ibis swallowed.
The pension is 3 billion taels, and the mental damage fee is 5 billion taels, for a total of 8 billion taels.
The annual tax revenue of Bird Country is less than 100 million taels!
But it's not over yet.
Mizuki continued: "The secret medicine I provided is worth 1 million taels each, a total of 3,000 pills, worth 3 billion taels..."
"The war destroyed the environment of the Bird Country, with losses as high as 1 billion taels..."
"The birds in the Bird Country were scared away, resulting in a loss of 2 billion taels..."
"Your Excellency the Daimyo was frightened and suffered a mental loss of 1 billion taels..."
"Agriculture has been affected, with a loss of 3 billion taels..."
…
"Well, that's all for now. A total of 20 billion taels must be compensated by the Kingdom of Wind."
Toki's eyes had already widened. She stared at Mizuki, feeling that the man in front of her was really shameless.
This is the first time I have seen a request for war reparations, and it was divided in such detail.
Even if it's not detailed, there are all kinds of groundless things, such as the birds being scared away, the environment being damaged, and the mental damage charges, which I have never heard of before.
"Lord Daimyo, the Kingdom of Wind is already barren. If it costs 20 billion, I'm afraid they won't be able to come up with it." Hong Ming said on the side.
Although he also wanted the Kingdom of Wind to really pay 20 billion in compensation, he knew that the Kingdom of Wind could not afford such a large amount of money.
Mizuki said: "It doesn't matter if you can't get it out. You can use supplies to offset it. If you don't have supplies, you can use land to offset it."
Hong Ming said: "This will put the Kingdom of Wind in a hurry. What if..."
Mizuki waved his hand and said: "It's better to push him harder. Let's continue fighting anyway. We don't have to be afraid of whether it's a ninja or a samurai."
"The Kingdom of Wind sends out ninjas, and I will deal with it myself."
"We are not afraid if warriors are sent out. Three thousand warriors are enough to bulldoze the entire Kingdom of Wind."
Toki's eyes lit up and he asked: "Mizuki-sama, are you saying that you still have that secret medicine?"
Mizuki nodded: "Yes, there are many more, as many as you want!"
After leaving Daming Mansion and returning to Phoenix Village, Mizuki found Watermelon and asked, "Do you still have stalactites?"
Watermelon immediately said: "No more, not a drop is gone!" It looked at Mizuki warily.
Mizuki smiled and said: "Look at your look, why can't I get what you have for nothing? Don't worry, I'll trade with you."
Xigua said: "Swap with me? What can you bring out to trade with me?"
Mizuki took out a capsule and said, "Here, I'll trade this with you."
Xigua frowned and took the capsule from Mizuki's hand. Looking through the transparent capsule shell, he could see a drop of milky white liquid inside.
Watermelon glanced at Mizuki suspiciously again, brought the capsule to his nose and smelled it.
This smell, it smells out.
"Is this the stalactite I gave you?"
Mizuki said: "Yes, it's stalactite, but you didn't give it to me."
Xigua was speechless and cursed: "Are you sick? Take the stalactite I gave you and exchange it for stalactite from me?"
Mizuki didn't explain. He took out a handful of capsules and asked, "I'll give you 10 capsules in exchange for one. How about that?"
Xigua's eyes widened.
"Are these stalactites? Where did you get so many of them?"
Suddenly, it thought of something and asked in horror: "You...you didn't sneak into King Meow's treasure house to steal it, did you?"
Mizuki: "It's not stolen. It comes from the right place and is absolutely clean. Just tell me whether you want to change it or not!"
Of course Xigua didn’t believe it.
"It doesn't matter if the origin is legitimate or not, but if you exchange one drop for 10 drops, you think I'm stupid!"
"There must be something wrong with this thing of yours. It either has serious side effects or is simply poisonous. You dare not use it yourself. If you want to exchange it with me, there is no way."
It did not get carried away by the benefits of 1 for 10.
No one would change it if they encountered something like this.
Imagine if someone offered you 100 yuan in exchange for 10 yuan, would you exchange it? The first reaction must be that the other person's 100 yuan banknote is a counterfeit note.
Mizuki pretended to be mysterious and said: "Actually, I know a ninjutsu called copying, which can make many copies of an object."
"These stalactites were copied by me based on the stalactites you gave me."
"One drop of the original stalactite can be copied to get 20 new drops of stalactite."
"Unfortunately, my ninjutsu has a limitation, that is, the copied things cannot be used as raw materials for duplication again."
"But I can guarantee that the effect of the copied product is exactly the same as the original version. It is absolutely non-toxic and has no side effects."
"If you don't believe it, you can take it for testing."
Xigua was dubious, but in the end he did not resist the temptation of benefits.
"Okay, give me what you have on hand, I'll take it back and check it out!"
"If it's as non-toxic and has no side effects as you say, I'll switch with you."
Mizuki said: "I have 29 pills in my hand, plus what you have in your hand, it's exactly 30 pills, which can be exchanged for the 3 pills you gave me before."
He gave all the capsules in his hand to Xigua, and Xigua took it back to Meow Star.
Standing in front of the window, Mizuki looked downstairs and happened to see a man on the street talking to Namikaze Minato who was buying groceries. He even knelt down while talking.
Minato noticed Mizuki's observation and turned to Mizuki with an awkward smile.
Mizuki nodded and smiled, not caring.
After a while, Minato knocked on the office door and walked in.
"Mizuki, don't get me wrong, I have no intention of returning to Konoha. In fact, the people of Konoha have been looking for me, and I can't avoid it. As soon as I go out, they come looking for me. They are ordinary people who don't know ninjutsu. I It’s not easy to do anything.”
"As you know, I now have all the chores at home. I have to go out to buy groceries and take out the trash every day."
Mizuki was amused.
Since Minato came to Phoenix Village and reunited with his family, he has become a housekeeper.
The laundry, cooking and sanitation are all his responsibility. Kushina wanted to help, but he pinned her down on the sofa and refused to move.
According to him, now that he is no longer a Hokage, he is not burdened with trivial matters and has a lot of time to spend with his family. He must do the housework at home by himself.
Kushina is happy and relaxed!
Mizuki smiled and said: "It's okay!"
Minato breathed a sigh of relief. He was also worried that Mizuki would misunderstand something. It would be bad if his family was ostracized in Phoenix Village because of the misunderstanding.
At this time Mizuki said: "Actually, my suggestion is that you return to Konoha and continue to be Hokage."
Minato thought Mizuki was suspicious and wanted to explain, but Mizuki waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I don't mean anything else by saying this."
"Kushina, I should tell you enough. My pursuit is to unify the ninja world."
"The unified ninja world can reduce internal friction and defeat all enemies from outside the human world, such as the Ōtsutsuki clan."
On the day Minato was resurrected, he saw the power of Ōtsutsuki Urashiki in Konoha Village, and also learned about the power of the Ōtsutsuki clan from Mirai Sasuke and Boruto.
Even Tsunade, who had always been opposed to Mizuki, stopped saying anything about Mizuki's unification plan after learning part of the future.
Everyone is deeply afraid of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
I also know that if the ninja world continues to maintain its status quo, when Ōtsutsuki comes, it may be really difficult to resist.
"If you can return to Konoha, it may be more helpful to my unification plan."
Mizuki thought for many days and felt that it would be better for Minato to return to Konoha than to stay in Phoenix Village.
It's definitely helpful for your own plans.
Minato did not agree or refuse, but said: "I have to go back and discuss it with my wife!"
