Chapter 21
: Da Ming Jin Buys Tulips.
Chapter 21 The famous young lady buys tulips.
tulip?
A strange expression appeared on Uchiha Makoto's face, as if he had discovered a new continent.
He never expected to hear that familiar name again in the ninja world!
The story of the bubbles created by tulips was legendary on my previous life on Earth!
"Darkness, tell me more about this tulip!"
"Yes, Chief."
Although Darkness didn't understand why Uchiha Makoto cared so much about tulips, she still told him everything she knew about them.
After all, this is not a state secret; a little inquiry within the aristocratic circle is enough to find out the whole story.
Although the Land of Fire still has a large number of unruly people who can't even get enough to eat every day, the nobles of the Land of Fire have long been accustomed to the monotonous life of luxury.
As the saying goes, the poor play with cars, the rich play with bitches.
According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, these wealthy nobles from the Land of Fire have now moved beyond the pursuit of material things and begun to seek fulfillment on a spiritual level.
But they've long been tired of ordinary antiques, collectibles, and even prostitutes.
They prefer to pursue something different, and urgently need something that others don't have, something that can inadvertently let others know that they are both cultured and wealthy!
tulip!
A flower from a distant overseas island, its blossoms resemble a crown, its stems are straight as swords, and even its roots grow like gold ingots.
More importantly, this flower is very difficult to cultivate.
It takes seven years for the seeds to grow into rhizomes after they are planted, and then another eight months for them to flower. This perfectly meets the needs of the nobles of the Land of Fire!
Although tulips are currently only popular among a small number of nobles in the Land of Fire, it is only a matter of time before they spread to all nobles in the Land of Fire, and even to the nobles of the entire ninja world.
"I see."
Uchiha Makoto rested his chin on his hands, a confident smile playing on his lips. "As expected," he thought, "the Celestial Dragons of every world are pretty much the same, even this ninja world is no exception."
After a good meal, it's great to want to try something different!
You have money, but I need money!
Make money, make money!!
"I am now certain that I have come up with an extremely safe and extremely profitable method."
"It's a pity the plan is a bit complicated, and there's too little space here to write it all down."
Uchiha Makoto originally wanted to make money in a more methodical and stable way, but if he could make a quick buck, he wouldn't pass up such a good opportunity.
Let the tulip bubbles rise in this ninja world!
"Lord Cheng, you're not thinking of trying your hand at the tulip business, are you?"
Kazuma immediately guessed Uchiha Makoto's idea, but he was essentially still just a native of the ninja world, not a transmigrator from some island nation, and couldn't figure out how to make money through tulips in a short time.
"That's right."
"But the timing isn't right yet; we need to accelerate!"
"accelerate?"
"Yes, I need to make the tulips famous throughout the entire aristocratic circle as quickly as possible!!"
Uchiha Makoto said this, "Tulips are only spreading in a small circle of nobles right now. How can this be allowed?"
He wasn't worried that the tulip bubble wouldn't take off in the ninja world, because the greed inherent in human nature wouldn't change in any world.
Uchiha Makoto simply felt that since he had chosen to make quick money, he should make a fortune; what kind of behavior was it to be timid and hesitant!
If you're afraid, don't play; if you play, don't be afraid!
The more players there are in a money game, the better.
"But... this is also a difficult problem."
Kazuma frowned. As a ninja, he was actually indifferent to tulips, a luxury item passed down among nobles. However, his experience as a ninja told him that it would not be easy to make the name of tulips known throughout the ninja world.
"Kazuma, put your brain to work. I've always had high hopes for you. Let me set an example for you. Do you like listening to stories?"
Makoto Uchiha looked at Kazuma. Kazuma's personality and behavior were exactly the same as the monstrous Kazuma in his memory. It was just that his identity as a native of the ninja world limited him. With just a little inspiration, his potential could be developed.
"Listen to it occasionally."
"I have a story here, and it's called—'The Rich Girl Buys Tulips!'"
"Speaking of which, our Fire Country Daimyo actually loves tulips very much, but he was already tired of the common yellow and white tulips. So he wanted to see tulips of different colors. For this reason, the Fire Country Daimyo even spent a fortune to buy such rare tulips in the Fire Country. Unfortunately, a whole year passed and the Daimyo still got nothing."
"At this moment, a minor official under the daimyo volunteered and swore on his life that he could complete the daimyo's task. So the daimyo nodded in agreement and entrusted the task to him."
"In less than a month, this minor official discovered a mutated tulip with red and white flowers in the Land of Fire. However, the tulip was almost withered, but the minor official still took out three million taels to buy the tulip."
He returned to the capital of the Land of Fire with the nearly withered tulip to meet the daimyo. Upon seeing the tulip, the daimyo flew into a rage: "I wanted a tulip in full bloom! Are you trying to fool me by spending three million taels to buy this nearly withered tulip?"
The junior official said confidently, "Your Highness, my spending one million taels to buy this tulip will not be in vain. Soon the entire ninja world will know that you genuinely love tulips, and that you will spare no expense to buy even a nearly withered rare tulip. Before long, countless people will be presenting tulips to Your Highness!"
"Later, just as the minor official had said, a month later, Daming harvested several top-quality tulips."
Uchiha Makoto's mouth was dry from talking, and a modified version of "Buying a Thousand-Mile Horse for a Thousand Pieces of Gold" was freshly produced.
Daimyo's every move attracts the attention of countless people.
The King of Chu loved slender waists, leading to many starving deaths in the palace. What the superiors do, the inferiors will follow. Combined with a ninja-world version of a rich girl buying tulips, the resulting effect is far more than just the sum of its parts. Let this ninja world experience the shock of journalism!
Since he and the Daimyo were in the honeymoon phase, the Daimyo wouldn't mind helping him with such a small favor. In fact, Uchiha Makoto could even get the Daimyo involved in this deal.
Anyway, it's all about making money by fleecing the common people, and the people being fleeced are still those nobles. The daimyo is already full of resentment towards those nobles. They form cliques, evade taxes, and so on. Let's just fleece them!
"A good story."
Kazuma swallowed hard as he spoke, feeling as a bunch of very strange knowledge suddenly flood his brain.
