Chapter 189 Reform Begins

"Hokage-sama!" An ANBU hurried to the Hokage's office.

"What's the matter?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked while processing the documents.

"There is movement in the Uchiha clan. Most of the Uchiha have just gathered in the center of the clan. A competition was held here to select the strongest of the younger generation to serve as the guard captain!"

"Oh?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was startled: "Isn't Fugaku the guard captain? Why do you want to do this again?"

He still had a very good impression of Fugaku, mainly because he was a tolerant, cowardly person who was easy to bully at first sight.

"I don't know" Anbu shook his head.

"We should let him establish prestige in front of the clan!" Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while and said.

He felt that this method was quite good, if his son could defeat Namikaze Minato in front of everyone.

Forget it, it’s better not to think about this, there is everything in the dream.

"I guess the final result is that Fugaku wins?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

but

"Are we Uchiha still short of money?" Mikoto asked.

Why are you going home to compete for the captain of the police force again?

Fire Nation Security is a new department established by the Fire Nation three years ago. It was restructured from a department under the town's command. It is mainly responsible for public security, criminal and civil cases within the Fire Nation.

Sanrong was speechless.

Why did the Uchiha rebel in the later period?

It has nothing to do with the loss of any clan land. The main reason is that the Uchiha clan suffered too much losses in the four wars, and the balance of power with the village was tilted, so that not only did Sarutobi Hiruzen have the confidence to take away their clan land, And have the confidence to deduct their funds.

"It's just like this, wouldn't it be bad?" Sanei frowned. You must know that the standard of the guard force is the Uchiha clan's symbol, which is a table tennis racket.

But it's not easy to do this. At least you have to have someone within Uchiha, otherwise how can you create division?

"Let's take a look again." Hiruzen Sarutobi wrote this down and told the ANBU: "Continue to keep an eye on Uchiha and report anything in time!"

When life gets into trouble, of course you have to rebel.

"No, the final winner is Uchiha Mikoto!"

Then there is a high probability that he has been blessed by five thousand years of wisdom.

If you eat, drink and watch TV every day, how can you rebel?

Let alone moving to the edge of the village, I don’t mind even if I move outside the village!

The current Uchiha has not encountered such a problem, so although Uchiha Mikoto was a little worried about money, she didn't care too much.

The Uchiha clan also does business, but it means people without ninjutsu ability open a small shop or set up a stall. Because of the Uchiha clan's bad reputation, their businesses are generally not taken care of by outsiders. They are all within the Uchiha clan. People are buying.

Everyone nodded. Mikoto's reputation is not low. She just defeated Zhang Huo and gave a speech, so her reputation is even higher now!

Moreover, the people in the garrison really need someone to bring some changes to the garrison.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know that Mikoto might be a chess piece, but the chess players might not be the two idiots Uchiha Nanto and Uchiha Sanei.

"Perhaps, I can think of a way to create division within them," Sarutobi Hiruzen thought.

In short, the Uchiha clan's economic system is extremely simple, and they rely entirely on transfer payments from the village. As long as the village's transfer payments are less, the Uchiha clan's life will immediately fall into trouble.

We are really short of money, so just ask Ning Yuan for any solution.

"This place is too small. Let's move the security team later, find a bigger place, and build an auditorium!" Uchiha Mikoto muttered: "Otherwise, there will be no place to go to commend for meritorious service in the future!"

Once this logo is changed, will the guard force still be the Uchiha guard force?

"Nothing wrong!" Mikoto slapped the table: "Now, I am the guard captain!"

And

Isn’t this Ningyuan!

He can solve the problems that have troubled the Uchiha clan for decades, even the simple money problem is not a problem!

On these white papers, some have patterns and some have text.

Even so, there was still not enough space, and many people had to stand to listen.

"And this kind of change can't just be a small change, it must be a complete change!" Meiqin continued: "From the name, to the logo, to the uniforms, to the department divisions, to the work system, to the salary payment, to the management system, Everything must change!”

"Of course!" Mikoto nodded: "The Uchiha Guards and this logo have been deeply rooted in people's hearts. If we continue to use it, it will take a long time to change people's prejudices. But if we change our appearance and start again, then we can do it in a month. See results!”

In this way, the Uchiha clan is not monolithic!

"From now on, the Uchiha Police Force will be renamed the Konoha City Security Bureau!" Mikoto took out a storage scroll and opened it, and then a thick stack of white paper appeared on the table.

In the large conference room of the Uchiha Guards, all jounin, chuunin, and even genin were sitting here.

After thinking for a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen figured out the reason.

It must be that the former captain of the Uchiha Guards was greedy for power and was unwilling to hand over this position to Fugaku, so that was why he acted like this.

He recalled the memory of Uchiha Mikoto, a genius female ninja of the Uchiha clan, the daughter of the captain of the Uchiha Guards, and a registered ninja of Konoha. She had just served as the leading jounin two days ago.

"This is" Sanrong looked at the sign and asked, "Is this the sign of the Fire Nation's security?"

He didn't take Uchiha Mikoto seriously, just because he was a pawn in the political struggle.

"Okay, without further ado, let's start the meeting!" Uchiha Mikoto said loudly: "The Uchiha clan's bad reputation in the village comes from the Uchiha Guards, so if you want to wash away the bad reputation, the Uchiha Guards must Change!"

"Huh?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned: "Uchiha Mikoto?"

"Of course there is a shortage. There are so many people in the family to support! There is also a ninja cat clan!" Sanei said angrily: "We Uchiha don't have many registered ninjas, and the main source of funding is the daimyo's allocation, but these two There was another war outside this year, and the funding was reduced!"

"Replace the logo of the Konoha City Police Department with this one!" Mikoto flashed a piece of white paper with a shield pattern drawn on it, and a mountain and flames in the middle.

Next to him, Uchiha Sanei was a little speechless: "Daughter, you have such a wonderful idea. The land is fine, but construction requires a lot of money. Our police force is not rich!"

If a person or a force's behavior suddenly becomes orderly and well-founded, even the pattern will be improved.

The security team has never had a meeting with so many people, so much so that the benches were brought in from outside.

"The name and logo also need to be changed?" Sanrong asked.

"The issue of funds." Uchiha Mikoto was silent. She recalled her exchange with Ning Yuan, and it seemed that the issue of funds was not mentioned.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire also issued an order requiring each city to form its own security department.

Uchiha Sanei didn't know what other cities did. Anyway, Uchiha didn't take it seriously. After reading the order, he just ignored it.

"That's right!" Mikoto nodded: "It's the fire country's security sign!"

"How can this work!" Sanrong immediately objected: "I don't object if you want to change the logo, but if you use the Fire Nation's logo, doesn't it mean that we have become a department under the Fire Nation?"

"Isn't it?" Mikoto asked, "Isn't Konoha a city in the Land of Fire?"

"How can it be the same!" Sanei shook his head: "There are some things you don't know. When Konoha was founded, the first Hokage and the daimyo had an agreement. Konoha has its own autonomy, and the daimyo has no right to interfere."

"Then if we take the initiative to obey, can the Daimyo control it?" Mikoto asked.

"Of course you can, it's too late for the daimyo to be happy!" Sanrong immediately said: "But it's impossible for us to surrender to the daimyo!"

"What if I just borrowed a name?" Mikoto asked.

"Borrowing my name, eh?" Sanrong was stunned and immediately woke up.

He behaves stupidly mainly because he has little knowledge and is not broad-minded enough.

Now that Mikoto saw this, she immediately understood.

If we change the logo of the Fire Nation, will we follow the instructions of the Fire Nation's lord? Of course it’s impossible!

But if there is this logo, it will not be that simple for Naruto to target Uchiha.

After all, no matter how independent this department is, even if the top and bottom members are members of the Uchiha clan, they still belong to the daimyo in name.

If you, Hokage, dare to target me, you are going against the daimyo.

With a change of logo, the status of the Uchiha clan in Konoha Village immediately improved a lot!

At least now it's morally justified to oppose the Hokage's orders!

Things like righteousness are usually invisible and intangible, but this thing is really useful!

"Change, must change, change immediately, change now!!" Sanrong said immediately: "We can even send people to Kyoto to contact the Fire Country Security Department Headquarters to implement this affiliation!"

Even if they really get in touch with the headquarters, the status of the Uchiha clan is still independent.

Because there are ordinary people in the Fire Country, how can ordinary people order ninjas?

As for the Fire Country Security Department, in order to show its strength, it will definitely agree to the ownership of the Uchiha Security Team.

Uchiha Sanei clapped his hands, "Why didn't I think of such a good plan!"

No, it’s not my fault. The Fire Nation didn’t have this department three years ago. If you want to belong, you can’t find a place! "Then, what if we change our name and the village stops giving us money?" Uchiha Fugaku asked.

After all, you all belong to me. If you want money, do you have to ask a daimyo for it?

Sanei glanced at Fugaku and said angrily: "That money is for the Uchiha clan, not for the police force. You are the future clan leader, how can you not know this kind of thing?"

It was the First Hokage who determined the allocation of funds, and it was the Second Hokage who founded the Uchiha Guard.

There was no police force at that time, so how could we give money to the police force?

Fugaku lowered his head in embarrassment. He really felt that he had lost a lot of dignity in the past two days.

Fortunately, he doesn't care about such things.

"You continue!" Sanrong looked at Mikoto. He was really looking forward to Mikoto's reform plan now.

"Well, next is department, salary, and clothing. Because they are integrated reforms, we will talk about them together!" Mikoto picked up the next piece of paper with a few lines written on it.

department:

Patrol team changed to: civilian police, ninja police, armed ninja police, economic police, internal police

Salary:

Task money is changed to: fixed salary + bonus + allowance + commission

clothing:

Take off all the forehead protectors and take off the ninja vest

Police: light blue uniform

Ninja Police: Dark Blue Uniform

Armed ninja police: black uniform with cape

Economic Police: Light cyan uniform, similar in color to banknotes

Internal police: white uniform, white helmet

Meiqin handed out pieces of paper: "This is the new uniform for the future. I have contacted the clothing manufacturer to customize it!"

"So handsome!" As soon as the pattern of the new uniform was placed in front of him, he conquered everyone instantly.

The origin of modern guard uniforms is Desan. An important concept in the initial design is: handsome!

We want young guys to fall in love with him at first sight, and we want young girls to fall in love with him right away when they see a man in uniform.

In this way, more young people will be willing to join the army.

The police uniforms produced by Ningyuan are imitations of the 99 police uniforms, with some professional elements added. For example, the civilian police will have wheat ear patterns, the ninja police will have flame patterns, etc.

This design concept has sharp edges and corners, unique style and highlights the figure.

Most of the ninjas in the Uchiha Guard are young people, and young people all love beauty. This gorgeous and unique uniform naturally conquered them instantly, and they began to imagine what they would look like after putting on the uniform.

He was so captured by the new uniform that no one even asked about his income after the change.

But even though they didn't ask, Mikoto still wanted to say it.

She believed in Ning Yuan's philosophy of putting a villain first and a gentleman beforehand. She explained all situations clearly in advance to avoid getting entangled and causing trouble later.

After the group of people calmed down, Mikoto explained various security duties one by one.

All the security teammates here are also thinking about which one is suitable for them, and then take their seats.

Next, Mikoto talked about the salary system of the police force.

The salary of the police force is based on one principle. The guards at the bottom will not starve to death, and the guards at the top will not make a fortune. There is definitely a gap between the top and bottom, but it is not big.

The ninjas looked at the salary system above and counted on their fingers how much they could earn each month in the future.

Then they discovered that the income of strong ninjas decreased, while the income of weak ones increased.

Some are only genin in strength, but veteran guards who have been working for a long time can even earn more than new jounin guards thanks to their allowances.

But if anyone has an opinion, no one has one.

Because the income is low, but the advantage is stability.

And no one can guarantee that their son or grandson will also be a genius.

If you are strong, they may not be strong.

If it were the previous mission-based payment system, once he died, the income of his unsatisfactory son and grandson would be greatly reduced.

But with the current salary system, my salary is low, but even if my son and grandson are not geniuses, they don't have to worry about food.

Besides, the income of the strong is not fixed, because in addition to the fixed salary and allowances, there are also bonuses!

Strong people can make meritorious deeds!

Not only will you get bonuses if you perform meritorious service, but you can also get promoted. After promotion, you will get more money. If you perform dozens of first-class meritorious services in a month, wouldn't you be able to get millions of taels?

Of course, this meritorious service will not be easy, but at least it balances the psychology of those who are strong.

Everyone was satisfied except Uchiha Sanei.

He found that if the salary was divided in this way, the total expenditure of the Uchiha Guards would be too much.

But he also discovered that the newly added economic police officer seemed to have the responsibility of investigating corruption.

Of the corruption detected, 10% goes to the police and the remaining 90% is confiscated.

Whoever the male is, it's definitely not Konoha.

So this is actually a source of wealth.

Sanrong didn't know how much revenue this department could earn, but at least the police force didn't just spend money but not make money like before.

He didn't know whether it would be a profit or a loss overall, so he could only let the security team try it out first.

Police code, mission attitude, mission methods, stationing location

One by one, Mikoto explained everything.

The reason why reforms in history tend to fail is because they harm the interests of the vast majority of people.

But this is not the case with Mikoto's reforms. Not only did she ensure the interests of the vast majority of people, she also added additional things like honor and power.

Compared with these, some obligations are nothing.

Moreover, through departmental restructuring, the right people will be placed in the right positions, which will also avoid the dissatisfaction in the hearts of most people.

Although it cannot be perfect, in fact, as long as 30 to 40% of people are satisfied, a thing can be implemented.

Judging from Mikoto's judgment, at least 50% of the people supported her reform.

The other 30% are confused, may not understand, and are drifting with the crowd.

The remaining 20% ​​should be objections, but because they have no right to speak, they can only keep it in their hearts.

After a few hours, all the reforms were finally explained.

After answering some of the difficult questions in the reform, the entire meeting finally came to an end.

Uchiha Mikoto only felt tired in her head and heart, and wanted to go home and sleep quickly, but with a bright smile on her face: "So, that's about it for the reform of the Konoha Security Bureau, customization The clothes will arrive in seven days. During these seven days, all personnel will arrive at their posts as soon as possible to familiarize themselves with their respective responsibilities. After seven days, when everyone has changed their clothes, the reform will officially begin!!"

"When the time comes, let the citizens of Konoha see the new look of our Uchiha clan!"

"Then will Konoha's security work be carried out in the past seven days?" Fugaku asked.

"Of course I have to do it. I'll familiarize myself with the responsibilities without delaying my work!" Mikoto replied matter-of-factly.

In fact, what she originally thought was to simply shut down for seven days to let the villagers understand the importance of the Konoha Guard.

But Ning Yuan refuted it.

"Never take the initiative to give your opponent an excuse!"

This is not the ancient era of imperial power. Only when ministers take the initiative to expose their shortcomings of greed for money and lust will the king feel relieved.

This is a life-and-death political struggle. If you dare to expose your flaws, your opponents will dare to attack you with a knife.

Even if he can't win, your people's support will be lost.

This thing is the same as righteousness, it cannot be seen or touched, but once lost, it is extremely difficult to make up for it!
