Chapter 212 Money! What a Simple Reward!
After taking a look at the beef stew in the pot, Orochimaru took out a letter and placed it on the table.
"Who sent it?"
Jingyi asked curiously.
Orochimaru smiled slightly and tapped his fingers on the table:
"Daimyo, the letter said that the envoy with the reward has rushed to Konoha, but with my communication, the daimyo's envoy will come to the camp in person."
Good guy, you are blatantly reaching out for benefits, right?
This is something that even the Third Hokage wouldn't dare to do, but Tsunade can, but Tsunade won't do it.
Looking for benefits from relatives?
Somewhat embarrassed.
Orochimaru's idea is relatively simple. Daimyo, you hate Sand Ninja Village so much, and under the leadership of Shizuichi and I, we successfully defeated the enemy and drove the enemy to the Kingdom of Wind, giving you a bad breath. .
So as a daimyo, should you show some sincerity?
In the eyes of most people, the daimyo is actually aloof and difficult to communicate with. In fact, the daimyo of the Fire Country has a pretty good temper.
At least it is a relatively moderate existence among the five major countries.
Instead of being angry at Orochimaru's behavior of asking for favors, he was actually happy about it.
"I'm curious what benefits you want?"
This is a question worthy of gossip. After all, the hobbies of people like Orochimaru are too elusive. He asked for benefits from the daimyo, so what are the benefits?
Besides money, the daimyo probably had nothing else to give him.
It's better not to give him a good name, Orochimaru doesn't care about that.
As long as you don't call him the Great White Snake of Konoha, everything else is easy to discuss. Even if you call him the vicious viper, he will only smile at you and not take it to heart.
Except for Great White Snake, Orochimaru hated this title.
"money."
"puff!!!!"
Jingyi choked on his own saliva.
money?
Are you sure you're not joking?
Such a simple reward?
Although the daimyo is so poor that he only has money left, but you, Orochimaru, ask for money when you ask for it. Isn't this a bit... wrong? You don't seem to be short of money.
Facing Jingyi's suspicious eyes, Orochimaru took the initiative to explain:
"Because the reward I gave you before, plus the funds for the experiment, my money has reached the bottom. I am not interested in ordinary rewards, so I asked for the money."
"Okay."
Although it was beyond expectations, Orochimaru's experiments did cost a lot of money. In addition, all the cash in his hand was drained, so it was understandable that he wanted money.
"Then what's my reward?"
Faced with this question, Orochimaru smiled and shook his head: "I don't know, the daimyo didn't say it clearly."
Yeah?
Jingyi felt that Orochimaru was dishonest. He must have known it, but he just didn't want to say it.
I picked up the envelope and opened it. I looked at the letter inside and found that it was indeed not written clearly.
Forget it, why are you thinking about all this? What benefit can a daimyo give you?
It seems that apart from money, nothing seems to attract him.
Okay, Jingyi admits that he is a layman.
There is no ordinary person who does not love money.
Besides, Orochimaru burned money doing experiments, and he also burned money making puppets. Even if new materials are used now, the cost can be reduced to the lowest, but the low cost cannot support large quantities.
Jingyi wants to build a puppet army.
If you want to build a puppet army, it is impossible to do it without sufficient financial support.
So... you'd better give me a simple reward, a few hundred million taels is enough. If that doesn't work, tens of millions taels is acceptable.
As for verbal rewards, there is no need for them.
Jingyi didn't want to get too close to the daimyo.
"Play comes to play, trouble comes to trouble. There is a natural incompatibility between the daimyo and the village. Don't let yourself get involved."
When the village developed, they tried every means to dig into the wallets of the daimyo, and the daimyo also tried every means to poach Konoha's people.
"Except for money, I'm not interested in daimyo people." Orochimaru smiled and shook his head.
He was very happy when the daimyo gave him money, but if the daimyo wanted to poach him, he would not do it.
Orochimaru didn't want to be the one caught in the middle.
Even Tsunade, who was related to the Daming Mansion, was not willing to be caught in the middle, let alone Orochimaru.
Just know it yourself.
Jingyi did not continue to persuade, he believed that Orochimaru would not fall to the daimyo, because when the daimyo's strength increased, it would be no good for everyone.
Since you are a daimyo, just enjoy life obediently and just be a living creature. If you have nothing to do, just play with beauties, sing, dance, and hunt. Don't think about grabbing military power.
"Tsk~ To be honest, I'm a little envious of the Daimyo's simple and unpretentious life."
"???" Orochimaru had a question mark on his face.
What the hell.
The simple and unpretentious life of the daimyo?
Is the life of a daimyo interesting?
In addition to the daily delicacies, there are all kinds of women. Is this kind of life interesting?
"You don't understand."
Facing Orochimaru's puzzled gaze, Shizuichi sighed.
The life of a daimyo is what countless people dream of.
Of course, Jingyi thought the same way in her previous life. In this life... her goals should be more ambitious.
Ordinary girls are boring, but a strong and beautiful female ninja is not attractive?
Well, I don't understand.
Orochimaru, who has no interest in women, really doesn't understand this.
This simple and unpretentious life has no appeal to him.
If you have the time, it would be more interesting to do some experiments.
"What is my job?"
Ye Cang completely accepted his fate.
Faced with Ye Cang's inquiry, Jingyi thought for a while and answered:
"For now, you don't need to do anything. Just take care of your body, train hard, strengthen your strength, and then be my secretary."
Ye Cang: "........"
Is my life to be a secretary?
What made Ye Cang almost vomit blood was that two days later, someone sent a few sets of secretary clothes.
Ye Cang was forced to change the ninja clothes that Jingyi couldn't complain about.
To be honest, Ye Cang's ninja clothes are really ugly, not as good-looking as secretary clothes.
A close-fitting suit with high heels is the perfect match.
A welcome party was held in Konoha.
Because the envoys of the daimyo came to the village.
The third generation Hokage, who had just returned to the village, went to greet them in person, but the smile on the face of the third generation Hokage disappeared after the envoys arrived at the Hokage office building.
The envoys brought gifts from the daimyo.
There are three people who received the gift, Hatake Sakumo, Shizuichi and Orochimaru.
Among them, the reward of Orochimaru was the most ordinary and the most attractive to the Third Hokage. The daimyo gave him a reward of 30 million taels.
The Third Hokage was very jealous of these tens of millions of bills.
Unfortunately, this money was for Orochimaru. After the reward of Hatake Sakumo was distributed, the envoys would rush to the front-line camp and distribute it to Shizuichi and Orochimaru in person. The Third Hokage could not touch it.
If the reward of Orochimaru was just jealous, then the rewards of Shizuichi and Hatake Sakumo would make the Third Hokage's blood pressure rise continuously.
