Uzumaki Jun listened to Fubuki Hayayuki's words and immediately fell silent. Strengthening the nation through technology was the basic development strategy of the Land of Whirlpools.
Therefore, since the re establishment of the government, the Land of Whirlpools had always advanced both technology and ninja simultaneously. The Land of Snow wanting to develop could also follow this path.
However, the perennial severe cold weather not only brought inconveniences to daily life but also caused reduced agricultural output, even making farming impossible.
He had inquired about the climate type of the Land of Snow. It was located near the polar region, with snowy weather for most of the year across all seasons, and rarely warm weather...
In that case, agriculture was indeed limited.
"I see..." Fubuki Hayayuki heard Uzumaki Jun's words and sighed regretfully in his heart...
He knew his own situation well. The Land of Snow's geographical location was indeed poor. The country barely managed to achieve basic subsistence. If the climate was bad, with winter lasting all four seasons, people could even starve or freeze to death...
When he saw how the Land of Whirlpools relied on technology to develop the country and enrich the people's lives, he originally intended to follow the path of strengthening the nation through technology as well.
But now...
"Is there really no way?"
"Not exactly." Jun touched his chin, frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "As for crops, the Land of Whirlpools does have some suitable for the Land of Snow's climate."
Solving the basic food and clothing problem was still possible.
"Really?!" Hayayuki was stunned upon hearing Jun's words, looking at him with a mix of tension and expectation. "What kind of grain is it?"
Fubuki Nutō also stared intently at Jun. No matter what he was currently thinking, deep down he still very much hoped the Land of Snow could become strong. Only by becoming strong...
Would the Land of Snow have a voice, and its people not be bullied by other countries!
"This isn't urgent." Jun said with a smile. "I will arrange for professionals to explain it to you later."
In this aspect, his own understanding was only superficial. On the other hand, Toto was more familiar with it. He would find Toto later to explain to Hayayuki which crops were more suitable for the Land of Snow.
"But for a country to become strong and increase its people's happiness index, having ample food is just the foundation."
"The Land of Snow is located in a cold region with poor climate. Its people live in a severe cold environment year round. Without suitable work arranged for them, unable to labor, this will inevitably lead to social chaos in the long run!"
A large surplus labor force, idle and with nothing to do, would eventually cause trouble. Furthermore, for a country to develop and keep its economy flowing, it is essential that its people work and create value. Therefore...
Sufficient job positions are one measure to maintain social stability.
"What if the Land of Snow uses environmental modification machines to change the perennial cold weather?" Hayayuki pondered and said, "Domestic researchers are already working on it. If successful, perhaps the Land of Snow can truly have spring."
Spring all year round, just thinking about it is exciting!
This was currently the largest and most important research project in the Land of Snow...
But...
There was still no progress...
"Not advisable." Jun shook his head upon hearing Hayayuki's words. "Climate change is a law of nature. Small scale modification might be fine, but large scale modification will definitely bring adverse effects to the environment."
Climate cycles naturally. If forcibly changed, it might not have much impact temporarily, but accumulated over years, it will erupt one day.
Then...
It would be even more troublesome.
"If you have time, you can go attend lectures in the Meteorology major at the Land of Whirlpools Affiliated Academy."
Jun sighed helplessly...
"The consequences of environmental degradation are not easily solved."
Soil erosion, desertification, frequent sandstorms and earthquakes, and even more severe climate disasters could occur!
"Oh, and also the Economics major. The National Happiness Index, Engel's Coefficient, these are all helpful for developing the country and improving the people's happy life. You can go listen to those, I believe they will definitely help the Land of Snow's development."
In recent years, the Land of Whirlpools had continuously been improving the academy's curriculum, so...
Many majors were added, for example, Agriculture, Economics, Environment, Management, etc.
Among them, there is always a major suitable for your child.
The clan leader is also preparing for the academy's third reform, planning to further improve the Land of Whirlpools' education system and enhance the training of relevant talents...
"If you want to know the taste of an apple, you have to take a bite yourself."
A smile appeared on Jun's face...
"Theory must be combined with practice. What suits the Land of Whirlpools may not necessarily suit the Land of Snow."
"Lord Hayayuki, if you have time, you can go listen to lectures at the academy. The theory of Redism is explained and studied there. I believe you will definitely gain something there."
After all, he himself only knew the general idea. Asking him to teach students...
He estimated that the teachers lecturing in the prisoner camp now understood it better and more deeply than he did...
After all, Redism is truly vast and profound!
"Only by always remembering the core values of Redism, practicing them, basing actions on the fundamental national conditions, focusing on economic development, adhering to the Four Cardinal Principles, liberating and developing the productive forces, can we promote the comprehensive development of the country, improve the quality of life for all the people, and achieve common prosperity for both the country and its people."
But the core values must not change...
"The Land of Whirlpools is very willing, and very much hopes to form an alliance with the Land of Snow, to contribute its own strength to protecting the peace of the ninja world!"
Using the Land of Snow as bait, he didn't believe those still hesitant countries wouldn't take the hook...
"I..."
Hayayuki and Nutō looked at the Land of Whirlpools leader radiating a holy glow before them and were stunned...
They never thought there could be such a generous, righteous, and benevolent person in the ninja world.
He actually truly taught them the strategy for strengthening a nation...
Indeed...
As expected of the Land of Whirlpools leader who created the theory of Redism!
"Truly... ten thousand thanks!" Hayayuki's face quickly adopted a serious expression. He straightened his upper body and slowly bowed down...
"The Land of Snow will definitely not forget the kindness of the Land of Whirlpools!!"
Jun smiled and nodded lightly, saying calmly, "It's fine. This is all for the peace of the ninja world!"
He...
Was long accustomed to it!
"Since that's the case, during this time, Lord Hayayuki shall stay in the Land of Whirlpools..."
"I hope you can gain something in the Land of Whirlpools, and deeply understand the superiority and feasibility of Redism!"
He sighed with emotion in his heart...
The seeds sown over these years...
Were they finally about to sprout...
...
Year 44 of Konoha, June...
The Land of Snow and the Land of Whirlpools formally formed an alliance. During these short two plus months, the Land of Snow leader benefited greatly and gained a deeper understanding of Redism. But...
He also became more worried internally...
The domestic contradictions were not as simple as those in the Land of Whirlpools. Class contradictions, the contradiction between productive forces and relations of production, the contradiction between economic base and superstructure...
These were not easy to solve.
After a night of discussion between Hayayuki and Nutō, although the country indeed had a ninja village, if they were to learn from the Land of Whirlpools and take the path of Redism, it would inevitably create contradictions with the ninja.
Therefore...
Nutō stayed in the Land of Whirlpools to continue studying, while Hayayuki went to seek military assistance from the Land of Whirlpools leader, planning to carry out reform drastically and decisively!
Year 44 of Konoha, July...
Under the scorching heat of summer, Fubuki Hayayuki, bringing a large batch of crops and technology, followed the Land of Whirlpools army setting off towards the Land of Snow...
A storm was about to arise in the ninja world...
