Chapter 136: Talking Alone at Night, Meiji Restoration
"Sister......", Madara glanced at the chamberlain and shouted to the world.
"It's okay......" the world said to Madara, "you guys go back first!" ”
"Yes!" Madara took a deep look at the world, and then left relieved.
"Let's go!" The world said to the chamberlain. Subsequently, under the leadership of this chamberlain, the two came to the side hall.
"Please~", the chamberlain stood at the door of the side hall and was not ready to go in.
"Huh?" The world looked at him (she?) in confusion. He glanced at it, then pushed open the door and walked in.
"It's so dark!" The world frowned and looked at the dimly lit side hall. Then, she turned on the chakra, physical two-way perception. However, no matter what kind of perception it is, in the mind of the world, there is only one person in the upper part of the world's reaction.
"Da~Da~Da~", in the quiet and dim side hall, the slight footsteps of the world can be heard clearly. Even, the world can hear its own steady heartbeat.
Then, after going up two flights of stairs, the world finally came to the third floor of the side hall. Unlike the two floors below, the third floor does not have any walls. This also allows the world to enjoy the night view of Kyoto.
"World Ji, you're here!" The Daimyo of the Land of Fire rested his elbows against the guardrail, his face blowing the evening breeze, and greeted the world in the tone of an old friend.
"Ah~~", the world responded, and looked around. She asked, "I don't know ...... Your Majesty"
"Stop, stop, stop!" The daimyo interrupted the world's words, looked back at her with a smile and said, "World-hime, in this place, you can call me by my first name - Meiji (Daimyo has no surname). ”
"Okay!" The world walked over to the guardrail and asked, "So, Meiji-kun, what did you ask me to come here for?" ”
"Hmph~ (laughs)" Meiji smiled when he heard this, and instead of answering the world's questions immediately, he said, "Look! What a beautiful night view of Kyoto! ”
"It's beautiful indeed!" The world followed his words.
"Although, we only met today. However, my attention to you has already begun. Meiji said with a smile and a side face looking at the world.
"When is it?" The world looked calmly ahead, but his heart was slightly vigilant. After all, it's not a good thing for ninjas to be overly noticed.
"Let me think about ......", Meiji pretended to ponder, and then suddenly realized: "Ah~~, it should have been thirteen years ago, when I was only fourteen years old. At the time, when I met you, you were at war with the ninjas of the White Water. ”
"That time?" The world couldn't help but recall, "I remember that I was only six years old and came to Kyoto for the first time. ”
"What was your first impression of Kyoto?" Meiji then asked.
"Not bad, right?" "It was the first time I had seen so many people," the world said. ”
"Really? ...... at the time, when I met you, you had just defeated the ninja of the White Water Clan. Speaking of this, Meiji smiled leisurely and said, "Then, I began to pay attention to you." Gradually, your name became louder and louder, and your status became higher and higher. Until you become the patriarch of the Uchiha clan and lead the clan to defeat the old enemy Senju clan. That's when I wanted to see you again. ”
"See me?" The world asked in some surprise.
"Yes~, like you, I am also the eldest son in the family. Growing up, I have always been a genius in everyone's eyes. Speaking of this, Meiji smiled slightly and said, "Since he is a genius, his thoughts are naturally a little different from ordinary people." ”
"I've read a lot of books, and in them, I found a pattern. Looking back at all the history of mankind, most of the wars of mankind have been fought for food. So, I wondered if there was a plant in the world that could grow food if it was planted, would the war be gone? ”
"Unfortunately, there is no such thing in this world. So, I wondered if people would ever create more food than people could eat, and then the war would not have faded away. ”
"Yes!" Meiji said firmly, "As long as productivity keeps up...... Oh! By the way, productivity is a word I coined, and it refers to people's ability to create new wealth. ”
"How about keeping up?" The world asked curiously.
"Keeping up means not going hungry anymore, so productivity is an extremely important force. However, this power requires two elements. One is people. The other is tools. Human things are easy to do, but tools are not so simple. ”
"What is the tool?"
"This tool does not refer to a single instrument, but to any tool that can reduce the cost of manpower."
"I ......see," the world murmured, "Your so-called tool is to make a certain number of people create more wealth, right?" ”
"Bang bang bang!" Meiji smiled and clapped his hands, "It's worthy of the world, it's easy to get through at one point!" ”
"Where there is ......", the world humbly said.
Then, Meiji continued, "People, I can increase the number of people by rewarding the system of childbirth. But I don't have a clue how to improve the tool. However, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the method of improvement has really been completed with the help of some masters. ”
"Speaking of which, this tool was also inspired by the ninja." Meiji said, "Through the interaction between fire and water, something called steam expands violently. Then, the expanding steam will have a certain power, and this power can dominate thousands of pounds under the deployment of people. ”
"Boiling?" The world whispered inaudibly.
"Kilograms of great strength are nothing to a ninja, though. However, the greatest advantage of this power is that as long as it is mastered, then it can become a power that can be used widely. ”
"You succeeded?"
"yes!" Meiji said with some emotion: "Although it was very difficult at the beginning, it was ...... to complete the industrial revolution."
"Industrial ...... Revolution? The world asked, confused.
"Oh! Here's my statement. It means that a factory model with machinery as the main body replaces the model of a purely manual workshop. ”
"Revolution? Since it's called revolution, it must not be so easy! ”
"Many people die ......," Meiji said lightly, "After all, when a new thing is born, there must be those who resist and approve." But, in the end, I won, you see! He pointed to the night scene in front of him with his right hand and continued: "Is my country getting stronger and stronger, and since this is the case, it proves that my path is not wrong!" ”
