Chapter 296 Opposition voices rise one after another, and the Third Hokage is overwhelmed
I have never seen the three Hokage so angry. The Hokage guards were so scared that they dared not breathe.
"Why does the village still want to fight?"
"Before the New Year, the Hokage gave a speech saying that we will soon win the war."
"Why is the war still at a stalemate after so long after the New Year?"
We thought the war could be ended quickly, but with the support of the Wind Country, it fell into a stalemate again. The Sand Village gritted its teeth and persisted, and so did Konoha.
As time went on, the impact of the war continued to expand. Opposition to the war began to emerge in the village, and it became more and more intense without anyone pushing it behind the scenes.
"Jingyi, everyone is against the war."
Kushina held a bag in her hand and looked up at Jingyi beside her.
"How much did you spend on these things?"
Jingyi lowered her head and asked Kushina a very simple question.
Kushina glanced at the bag in her hand and recalled and calculated: "It seems...about five taels?"
"Then how much did the same things cost before the war started?"
"About..."
Kushina was a little confused. Although she liked shopping and buying things, she really didn't pay attention to the specific prices of these things.
Seeing that Kushina was a little confused, Jingyi had to tell her the answer:
"Not more than three taels, that is to say, the same things, as the village persisted in the war for several years, almost doubled, and the impact of the war was not only on daily necessities, but also on the income of many people."
"This will cause the living pressure of some villagers to double."
"Is that so."
Kushina was confused.
Jingyi continued, "In addition to the increased pressure of life, there are more sacrificed ninjas, and the number of affected families is also increasing. These people who have lost their relatives will become the main force against the war."
There are some more cruel words, Jingyi did not say them, he was afraid of hitting Kushina's fragile nerves.
The second quarter pension is to be paid, but the village's finances have not recovered, but are getting worse and worse.
Even if the three Hokage cut off many sources of expenditure, the war consumption and the daily development of the village, as well as the heavy pensions, are enough to make the Ministry of Finance drink a pot.
Even if the war is over, the village's finances will not be able to recover in a short period of time.
Because the pension needs to be paid for a long time.
This is the village's expenditure, even more than the current war expenditure.
Jingyi didn't know exactly how much the quarterly pension was, but he could calculate the amount. Money was hard to calculate, but the statistics of Konoha ninja sacrifices were known to the Anbu.
Calculating the pension based on the number of ninja sacrifices, even if there were some discrepancies, there was no problem in calculating the amount.
"Give me the bag."
Jingyi took the bag from Kushina.
Kushina asked curiously, "So, the Hokage is short of money now?"
"Lack of money?"
Jingyi was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, raised his other hand and rubbed Kushina's head.
He was almost going crazy with poverty.
This was no longer a question of whether he was short of money or not.
There are more and more anti-war opinions in the village, and opinions dissatisfied with the Hokage's office are also beginning to emerge. If the village cannot issue the second quarter pension in time, I am afraid that this wave of opinions will become more terrible.
So the question is.
Can the three Hokage raise the money to pay the second quarter pension?
Jingyi can answer with certainty: "It's difficult."
"Maybe there is a lack of money, but this is something that the Hokage should consider. Don't worry about it. Just train honestly, and don't skip classes anymore."
Jingyi knocked on Kushina's head.
The sound was crisp and loud, and it was cooked!
Maybe it was influenced by the yellow-haired boy, or maybe it was because she felt that the classmates in the school were very childish and couldn't play together, and the content taught by the teacher was very boring, so Kushina began to sneak away from class.
It's easy to know that the Nine-Tailed Fox is involved.
Kushina skipped classes and spent her time on training, so Jingyi chose to turn a blind eye to this matter.
You can skip classes, but you can't skip classes to be lazy.
Of course, there should be criticism, otherwise skipping classes out of guilt will turn into skipping classes in the open, without any scruples.
"I know, I won't do it next time."
Kushina covered her head with grievance and pouted.
But she was saying in her heart: I will dare to do this next time! !
After returning home, Jingyi saw Tsunade lying on the sofa, and asked her curiously:
"Don't you need to work overtime today? Or did you get paid?"
"Don't mention it."
Tsunade sat up straight, looking unhappy, and complained:
"Recently, there are fewer and fewer patients in Konoha Hospital, and the old man was very angry today. The Hokage Guards were scared and asked me to go over and persuade him."
"What's going on?"
There is such a thing?
Jingyi knows who the Third Hokage is. Under normal circumstances, when the Third Hokage is angry, he will just smoke or look sullen, and at most he will just curse a few times.
Getting angry in front of the Hokage Guards is a situation that is rarely seen in the past.
"What else could it be? It's because of money and war. The war is at a stalemate. The Sand Village is unwilling to bow down and accept defeat in the war. The second quarter pension will be paid soon. The old man is under a lot of pressure."
"Kushina, come here. The teacher has talked to me about you skipping classes with your classmates."
Kushina was eating melons with relish, but unexpectedly, the war burned over her head. She was so scared when she heard Tsunade's scolding that she quickly shrank behind Jingyi and hid, exposing half of her head and shouting:
"I didn't, they followed them on their own, it has nothing to do with me."
"Bullshit!!"
Tsunade was so angry that she cursed: "Your teacher said that you were the one who instigated it in secret, so the family followed you to skip classes, and the number of people is still increasing."
