Chapter 1229 Questions
Lan rubbed his hands and said, "In order to quickly review and approve the application, I plan to ask you to help me. Can you tell me about the basic operation of Konoha Village?"
Minato's clone Wen Yan was stunned: "You guy, if Master Qufeng hadn't brought you here, I would have suspected that you had sneaked into Konoha Village secretly."
Lan laughed, then scratched his head: "How could it be possible? The Leaf Village is as strong as an iron gate. No matter who it is, no one can open the gate."
Minato's clone was naturally joking. As a clone responsible for handling important official business, it was really boring for him to sit here all day. Su Xing learned these jokes.
"Okay, let me briefly tell you about what Konoha Village is doing, and some of the families that are about to be trained. They are newcomers with low foundations and need the help of Konoha Village."
Lan thought about it and realized that this was similar to the Uzumaki clan in the Konoha Village in the other world.
But he didn't say much and listened carefully to Minato's introduction.
Time passed quickly and the day's work ended.
As Minato's clone disappeared with a bang, the staff of the Hokage Building began to leave work one after another.
Lan stretched in the room next to the Hokage's office. This day's work made him a little tired, but he did learn a lot.
"Master Lan, you performed very well today. You will definitely be more proficient tomorrow. Once you have mastered it thoroughly, you should be able to review and approve documents with ease."
Lan sighed: "Ah, to be honest it's a bit tiring, but it should be much better once I get more proficient."
The secretary nodded: "Of course, the original task would take me a day to handle alone, but now that there are two of us, the speed will certainly be much faster."
As for the time Lan has after the documents are processed, he can manage his own time and the secretary has no control over it.
Whether he wanted to continue studying with the Hokage or go out for a walk was none of the secretary's business.
After finishing the chores, the secretary still has to serve tea and water to the Hokage, which is a very troublesome thing. Sometimes the secretary is also required to run errands.
"Well, I'm off work now. You should go home and rest early. I rested at this time when I was in Whirlpool Country."
The secretary smiled slightly: "I can't help it. After all, I have to work hard for Konoha Village. My family is proud of me."
Being a secretary is not an easy job, so the secretary of the Hokage has a very high position in Konoha Village. In addition to the Hokage and the elders, even the clan leaders have to show respect when they see the secretary.
As for the directors of other departments in Konoha Village, they are basically at the same level as the secretaries.
These were the rules set by Qufeng back then. Qufeng liked to run around everywhere, and basically left all the things to Anhua to do, so that Anhua could handle the tasks more smoothly.
The secretary's position was promoted to a very high position, and Anwar retired, and now her apprentice has taken over the position.
There is almost no big difference between him and Anhua, he is also a very outstanding person.
Minato had high hopes for her and was well aware of her work ability, so he assigned Arashi to her.
Arashi waved his hand and left the Hokage building.
In the winter, it gets dark in Konoha Village around 4:30 in the evening.
However, the streets of Konoha Village were brightly lit, and Lan didn't feel particularly uncomfortable walking on the street.
Young people are very adaptable and can feel comfortable wherever they go.
Seeing so many villagers in Konoha Village, it is clear that every family lives in harmony, there are basically no major conflicts, and there is no extreme gap between the rich and the poor.
It is very difficult to do this, as the ministers of the Whirlpool Country consider themselves to be the nobles of the family.
These people have amassed large amounts of money, which has led to a huge gap between the rich and the poor in the Whirlpool Country. This is also why people do not have much motivation.
But they won't be able to jump around for much longer, as Lan has decided to take action against these parasites that are riding on the family's back.
When they return home after completing their studies, if these people voluntarily hand over 90% of their assets and stop seeking special treatment, Lan might let them go.
If he remained stubborn, he would be doomed. He was very determined to reorganize his family, so no one could stop him.
"These big families in Konoha Village are also very luxurious, and their wealth is accumulated to an unimaginable level, but why is there no huge gap between the rich and the poor?"
"I don't quite understand. I still have to go back and ask Master Qufeng."
Thinking of this, Lan quickened his pace, but what made him wonder was what these red lanterns on the streets of Konoha Village were for.
"Eh? Is this the Chinese New Year that father was talking about? The Spring Festival of Konoha Village, right?"
The day when the old year turns to the new year is coming soon. The Uzumaki clan does not have such a tradition, but I have always heard that Konoha Village has a New Year festival.
He finally came this year and was able to experience what the Spring Festival in Konoha Village was like.
"That's great. It seems I'm very lucky."
Having said that, he quickly ran back to the Yunzhong tribe’s territory.
As soon as I entered, I found Qufeng drinking tea in the pavilion, while the Hokage seemed to be taking care of the children in the house and did not come out.
Lan was delighted and quickly walked to the pavilion, greeted Qufeng and sat down.
"Master Qufeng, I have a question in my mind that I need your answer."
Qu Feng put down the teacup in his hand: "Oh? Tell me about it."
Lan scratched his head and said, "That's right. Why is it that there are so many wealthy families in Konoha Village? They are powerful and have a large population, but they don't cause a huge gap between the rich and the poor in Konoha Village."
Qufeng smiled and shook his head: "You kid, you are still asking such stupid questions. Konoha Village was founded by my master. Later, through my hands, it gradually became famous throughout the ninja world. Even the ninja world prostrated itself at the feet of Konoha Village, not to mention these families."
"If the village wants them to live, they will naturally prosper. If the village doesn't need them, they will naturally fall into oblivion. The clan leaders know this very well, so they never dare to do anything that goes against the wishes of the village."
It was like a word of enlightenment, and Lan suddenly woke up: "Yes, in the end it's because I'm not strong enough. If I were strong enough, I would be able to deter those parasites in the country and make them dare not cause trouble."
Qufeng nodded: "Otherwise I would say your question is stupid. After all, the ninja world is a world where strength is respected. The operation of all things can't escape the word strength."
"So while you are learning how to govern a country, you must not neglect your own cultivation. As a daimyo, you must have the strongest power in the country to manage a country properly. Otherwise, the country will be full of problems."
