Chapter 6 Making too much money can be scary

Two months later, after the third division of the nest, the 140 ant colonies finally began to officially harvest the first batch of ant honey, selling it for a profit of 600,000 taels.

The profits that far exceeded expectations made all participants very happy and frightened at the same time.

Aburame Tetsumaru understood from the beginning that his family could not run Sugar Ant alone. He even thought that maybe the Aburame family was not qualified to monopolize this business, but the one-time profit of 600,000 proved that everyone had underestimated the ants.

The value of sugar.

The ninja world is in a feudal society, the government does not organize production, and productivity is extremely low.

Moreover, not long after the end of the long-term warring period of the Warring States Period, another massive ninja war was fought. It was poor.

It is normal to suffer from hunger and lack of food and clothing. Sweetener is a scarce luxury product. Now there is no situation that it cannot be sold. Even if the output is increased a hundred times, the price will not be reduced.

It will be even more exaggerated during the war. Sugar is an important military commodity. A piece of it can quickly replenish your physical strength between battles. After being injured, drinking a hot cup of thick sugar water can save your life.

Sugar is also an important component of Bingliang Pills, and the demand and profits will be even greater during the war.

In the Country of Fire, there are several nobles who operate maltose and beet-pressed sugar, but the feudal noble organizations cannot scale up the manpower, so the output is small and the quality is poor.

In Konoha Village, there is no competition at all in the honey industry run by the Yamanaka family. Even during the war, the profits from honey can support the family's consumption.

The honey industry of the Yamanaka family, the medicine industry of the Nara family, and the livestock industry of the Akimichi family are far more profitable and important than their superficial flowers, deer raising, and barbecue, and they are also hidden.

Having a stable industry, strong economic strength, and strong combat effectiveness are the foundation for the three abilities of Pig, Deer, and Die to be as stable as Mount Tai.

Honey depends on flowers, and the short flowering period and the amount of nectar and pollen determine that honey production is very small, and excessive competition for territory among bee colonies also results in limited density of bee colonies.

The pitiful output of artificial beekeeping can support a small family of five people on earth at most, but it can actually support a huge ninja family in the ninja world, which shows that the profit margin is quite exaggerated.

The combination of sugar ants and aphids does not rely on flowers. The yield of sugar ants is hundreds of times that of honey. Even if the quality is inferior and the price is low, it is still a steady hundred times the total revenue of the honey industry.

Whether the ninja world is an extraordinary world or a dualist feudal monarchy, the first rule is how big the fist can be to gain the maximum advantage.

From small individuals to large countries, huge interests are occupied by powerful forces.

The Aburame family didn't have the guts to monopolize the ant candy from the beginning, so they roped in many ninja clans to run the business together, but now it seems that the distribution is not divided enough and they have not attracted enough allies.

Aburame Shiki immediately decided to continue sharing the profits. There was no need to discuss this matter with the clan leader and she could start implementing it directly.

First of all, instead of using your own land, rent the land of the Pig, Deer and Butterfly clans to transform it into an aphid field.

Then, if you can’t do the daily maintenance yourself, the relevant work is subcontracted out in the village in the form of tasks, and the reward amount is high.

Finally, don't sell the candy yourself. Except for the share shared by the family, all candies are sold on behalf of the village and are controlled by the Hokage-sama.

After the Nara family joined, the head of the Nara family thought that the sharing was not enough. After more than a dozen family heads gathered together to discuss, he persuaded everyone to expand the scope of the Ant Sugar Alliance again.

So two more long-term tasks were issued: One task designated the security department to strengthen patrols and protect the aphid fields.

Another task assigned the Hyuga family to monitor the status of the aphid field on a daily basis.

This sexy operation is really powerful, and the otaku-type Aburame Tetsumaru was shocked.

Because all aphid fields, including those under construction and planned in the future, are originally within the inspection scope of the Ministry of Security.

The Byakugan family does not allow Byakugan in the village. What special role does Hyuga, who does not open Eyes, play in supervision?

It means paying tribute and paying protection fees to the wealthy.

If there were only three or two kittens left in the Senju clan, there would be designated tasks for the Senju clan. Now we only need to give the Senju a piece of money, and there is no need to go through so much trouble.

But this has nothing to do with him, because except for a few people in Aburame's family, no one in the village knows that this matter has anything to do with Aburame Tetsumaru.

Aburame Tetsumaru underestimated the value of ant candy, but it was just a matter of degree. He was a time traveler after all, and he had already smelled danger, so how could he easily take risks?

Aburame Tetsumaru is afraid of death. Before time travel, he drifted between life and death until he was almost dead. This great terror that transcended life and death created a new character for him. He was very afraid of death, but even more afraid of boredom.

Therefore, Tetsumaru is very satisfied with the new life, especially when he started learning ninjutsu, parasites, and chakra at the age of four. The new knowledge and extraordinary power are really infinitely attractive.

Aburame Tetsumaru plunged into the ocean of new knowledge, trying hard to absorb all the ninjutsu knowledge he could come into contact with. He held the family collection of books every day and became a bookworm in the mouth of the elders.

For Aburame Tetsumaru, being able to learn new knowledge in a stable manner is happiness. There is no point in being in the limelight, at least until he is well developed.

Five years old is still a child. A great life and fresh knowledge are waiting for Aburame Tetsumaru to enjoy. He doesn't want to take risks and it is best to develop silently.

However, on the basis that his life is guaranteed, Aburame Tetsumaru is willing to contribute to the family. He is protected by the family and enjoys the family's educational resources. The family has been kind to him in raising him, which is a great kindness.

The three views he developed in his previous life did not allow him to enjoy rights and interests without assuming obligations.

The day after handing over the sugar ants, Tiewan paid a special visit to Elder Zhihui and persuaded him to attribute the credit for the development of the ant sugar to the entire Aburame clan. Elder Zhihui was an old man and understood what Tiewan meant instantly.

The information that Aburame Tetsumaru has mastered the complete set of ant sugar technology is fatal enough for a five-year-old child. Once leaked, his family's allied families may not be able to help but secretly attack.

With such a huge benefit, the allies of the Ninja clan are unreliable, and the top management of Konoha Village are even more unreliable. It has been seven or eight years, and none of the old guys can still see that the pair of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo are playing a black and white match?

These two people are extremely greedy and selfish. Not to mention anything else, the Sarutobi family and the Shimura family have doubled their population and the number of ninjas in the family in recent years.

So the Aburame family announced to the outside world that Ant Candy was developed with the efforts of the entire family. No one doubted that this was not something that could be done by one person. Tiewan was able to do it by using technology and superpowers at the same time.

After Aburame Tetsumaru was sure that no one was paying attention to her, she returned to her growth rhythm with peace of mind.

…

"Make a seal of opposition."

"ready, go."

Buzz~~~~~~buzz~~~~~~

The fighting arena was immediately filled with black parasites. The two large groups of parasites each divided into small groups and fought fiercely.

One side has a larger number of parasites, divided into five small groups, and each confrontation quickly overwhelms the opponent's insect swarm.

Although the number of parasites on the other side is small, they are divided into twelve groups. They always successfully delay the opponent's attack and repeatedly use the tactic of surprise attack, forcing the enemy insect group to give up the attack and hastily turn around to intercept.

The large number of insect swarms easily won every confrontation, but the rhythm was controlled by the opponent, and they were clumsy. Finally, they missed a group of parasitic insects and landed on Aburame Tetsumaru's head.

"Aburame Chi narrowly wins, the exercise is over."

Both sides made a seal, ending the competition.

Aburame Zhiwei jumped closer to Aburame Tetsumaru: "Brother Tetsumaru, I won again."

"Zhiwei is awesome, worthy of being the patriarch's child."

Aburame Tetsuwan touched Zhiwei's head and found that the hair was quite smooth and comfortable.

Frustrated? Lost?

nonexistent.

Because, I'm used to it.

This is the tenth time he has lost to Zhiwei, and he has also lost to other brothers many times.

Of course, it is limited to the fight against parasites. If there is no limit to the fight mode, Aburame Tetsumaru can sweep through those under eight years old with his body alone. After all, he is 1.3 meters tall, weighs 40 kilograms, and is seriously over-developed.

Zhiwei, who was just four years old, was developing normally. He was 1.01 meters tall and weighed 18 kilograms. The difference in height and weight was more than double. Tiewan and Zhiwei were not suitable for a full-scale confrontation.

The onlookers were chattering. Everyone admired Zhiwei's talent and Tiewan's talent. Even Elder Zhihui, who admired Tiewan the most, could only shake his head and sigh when he thought of his talent for controlling parasites.

Now that the Aburame family is rich, they naturally invest a large amount of money into the education of their descendants. The interval between parasite inheritance ceremonies has been shortened from one year to four months, and confrontation drills for the children have been continuously organized.

With the intensive confrontation, Aburame Tetsumaru's strange talents gradually became known. He was tall, strong, strong, fast, and had abundant chakra, as if he had been skewered by the Senju clan.

However, Aburame Tetsumaru's talent for controlling parasitic insects is a mess. That is to say, he relied on chakra and raised enough parasitic insects to be strong enough to achieve some victories.

In terms of actual combat, none of the children in the clan could beat Aburame Shiguro and Aburame Tetsumaru, who were already official genin.

When it comes to the secret technique of parasitic parasites, no one can defeat Aburame Tetsumaru.

In short, his talent is not as good as the ninjas of the Aburame family.

…

In the spring of Konoha's 27th year, in order to alleviate the tense situation and economic pressure, after a long period of wrangling and negotiation, five years after a large-scale truce, the five major ninja villages finally officially signed a peace treaty for a period of... two years.

Aburame Tetsumaru and other children who had mastered the parasites sat in on the family meeting as reserve ninjas.

At the meeting, the adults were all wearing sunglasses so that their expressions could not be seen, but they could not stop their resentment and injustice, because Konoha Village did not get any benefits from the peace treaty, forget it without land, we do not care about those rotten lands.

But how can this be done without money?

As far as the Aburome family is concerned, more than 120 ninjas were killed, missing or disabled during the entire war. At the end of the war, the total number of ninjas in the family was less than 40, including Tetsumaru's father.

There are only nine ninjas.

Economically, the Aburome family spent countless money during the war, and struggled for another five years after the war. If the ant sugar industry had not suddenly been born, the family would have gone bankrupt.

We paid so much and expected the village to compensate us, but the village actually accepted the peace treaty without compensation. How could the village compensate us?

The meeting ended soon. The Aburame family's political position determined that it was impossible for them to make a decision against the Hokage. It was basically a meeting to vent.

Aburame Shiki sent everyone away, leaving behind Aburame Tetsumaru and a few five- and six-year-old children.

Elder Zhihui gave serious instructions: "This year, everyone must take the exam seriously and strive to enter the ninja school. Tetsumaru, you want to enter Class A."

"Yes." Aburame Tetsumaru calmly accepted the order.

"Very good, let's go home."

"Goodbye, elder."
