Naruto: After traveling through time, I became the disciple of the first generation

Chapter 1513 Minister of Shipping

"Don't we need to give it a sense of ceremony?"

"You are the only one who cares about this kind of thing. If it were you, I would just burn them to ashes, so that they won't dare to harm others in their next life."

Lan didn't know how to respond. After all, this was a big shot, and he wasn't too popular.

"Don't make it difficult for him. Everyone has different ideas. If he thinks this is a good idea, then let him be happy."

Zhili grumbled, "I didn't mean to embarrass him. I just asked her by the way."

After hearing this, Lan immediately changed the subject.

"By the way, speaking of which, did you two adults take a walk around the Whirlpool Country yesterday? Did you find that familiar feeling again?"

Lan changed the subject skillfully and easily diverted Zhili's thoughts.

"Really not, which is a shame, but I plan to go there again the day before I leave."

"Today is one day, and I'll help you again tomorrow, that's enough."

Indeed, the problems in the Land of Whirlpools were easy for Zhili and Qufeng to solve.

But if Lan were to handle it himself, it would be much more troublesome.

He has a lot of things to take into consideration. If the wind comes, he will just demolish it and rebuild it.

Today, Zhili will help him kill the person, and tomorrow he will deal with the subsequent chores. Then Zhili can go for a walk or do something else by himself.

Because her mission was accomplished.

"It's almost time, why don't you hurry up and pack up?"

Lan looked at his clothes and found that he was still wearing the clothes he wore in Konoha Village.

"I just came back and I'm not used to my current status yet. I didn't ask my servants to come and change my clothes this morning. I'll go change now."

Zhili nodded: "Go quickly and come back quickly, it seems that someone has already arrived."

A carriage stopped at the gate of Daming Mansion, and a very bloated middle-aged man got out of the carriage.

He had a kind smile on his face, but the fact that he came to this party showed that he was not a good guy.

"Inform the daimyo and tell him that I am here."

The guard at the door heard this and said, "The daimyo has ordered that the visitor can go to the main hall and take a seat on his own. There is no need to notify us."

The fat minister did not hesitate after hearing this and walked straight inside.

"I'd like to see what I can come up with."

Afterwards, ministers arrived one after another, and for a while the carriages parked in front of the Daming Mansion blocked the street.

Some civilians were shocked when they saw this scene: "What's going on? Why did the daimyo invite so many ministers to a banquet?"

"That's right! And all those who attended the banquet are parasites! Lord Daimyo is not really going to compromise, is he?"

"Oh, I knew this day would come. But even if we don't compromise, what can we do? If we keep wasting time like this, we will be the ones who suffer."

"Although I don't want to let those guys get what they want, but if we change a big name, maybe they will let us live a good life for a few days."

"Haha, it's just wishful thinking. If we let these disgusting things succeed, then we should move to the Land of Fire as soon as possible. Even if we become refugees, it's better than living in the Land of Whirlpools!"

The common people were very concerned about the daimyo's actions. They didn't know what tricks the daimyo had to entertain these national parasites with such a grand banquet, or whether the country was really about to perish.

At this time, 70% of the seats in the Daming Mansion's main hall were already occupied.

They talked to each other. Although they were all ministers, the forces they represented were different.

There are people with seven princes, people with four princes, and people with nine princes.

The other princes did not participate openly, but in fact they all secretly made friends with some ministers and wanted to get a piece of the pie at the critical moment.

"This is really surprising. Did the Daimyo know something?"

A minister spoke up, and he looked around. All the ministers who came to the banquet were involved with the rebellious prince.

There was no one else.

"What are you afraid of? It's impossible that Daimyo has not taken any action in the past year. Today, he is just laying things out on the table."

"Besides, my ninjas have all gathered and are lying in ambush near the Daimyo's mansion. If there is any movement, they will rescue me at any time."

Each of these old fellows had a gloomy mood, and they did not come to Daming Mansion to keep the appointment without any preparation.

However, although they made preparations, they still underestimated the strength of Daming Prefecture.

As time slipped away, more and more people came to the banquet, until the entire hall was completely full, but Lan still did not show up.

This made some of the more cautious ministers panic, and they were considering whether to sneak away during this time.

But just when they were making plans, Lan finally appeared.

At this time, he was wearing the clothes of the Daimyo of the Country of Whirlpools, with the pattern of the Uzumaki clan embroidered on his back.

He walked out slowly from behind the curtain and sat on the chair in the hall.

"My dear ministers, how come you are planning to leave right after arriving at the banquet? This is really too disrespectful."

The minister who was about to run away immediately sat down after hearing this.

Although they all spoke in a very arrogant manner, they were still respectful when they saw the Daimyo.

"Lord Lan, I wonder why you are hosting a banquet for all of us ministers today?"

"If there is nothing important to discuss, I still have many miscellaneous matters to deal with in my house."

After hearing this, Lan glanced at the minister who was not far below him.

He was the minister of the Whirlpool Kingdom who was in charge of maritime transport. Originally, the Whirlpool Kingdom transported some seafood products and agricultural products to various countries through maritime transport.

And now, most of the money from shipping went into his pocket.

Whenever asked, they would blame it on other countries developing too fast and no longer needing the fish from the whirlpool.

But in fact, there are quite a few merchant ships going out to sea every day.

But the Fourth Prince was standing behind him, and Lan had no way to deal with him before, and he couldn't openly break up with his Fourth Uncle.

But today is different.

"Oh? I'd like to hear what's so urgent in your house that you dare to leave the banquet I'm hosting?"

The minister also realized that what he said was a little inappropriate, so he said: "Now that shipping is difficult, I have been thinking of other ways to make up for this deficit. I am anxious and made such nonsense. I hope you won't blame me."

Lan smiled when he heard this: "Sea transportation is difficult? But I see that there are quite a few merchant ships and cargo ships leaving the port every day, right?"

"Although the current public motivation is insufficient and the fish caught has obviously decreased compared to before, it is completely inconsistent with the number you report every month."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall was shocked, and a bad feeling lingered in everyone's heart.
