"No, why a reduction?"
"Isn't a reduction an adjustment?" Gojo Kaigetsu's expression darkened.
"I'm a kind-hearted person. Not only will salaries be reduced, but our fellow workers must receive every penny owed to them. You, Koyama-kun, will be responsible for managing the funds."
Koyama Ichiro's face grew even darker. Not giving him money, and now expecting him to pay the firewood workers?
He suppressed his anger. "Then, what about awarding bonuses to outstanding workers...?"
"That's a valid point."
Gojo Kaigetsu nodded again. "Each exemplary printing worker will be rewarded with a house in Konoha, or they can choose to receive one million ryō in cash."
"Oh?!"
Koyama Ichiro's expression did a complete 180. Upon hearing Gojo Kaigetsu's decision, a wide smile bloomed on his face.
Misunderstanding resolved!
So, it was all a misunderstanding~ The benefits were waiting here all along.
However, to be safe, Koyama Ichiro cautiously inquired, "Will every exemplary worker receive this reward?"
"We have so many outstanding workers in our publishing house. Rewarding every single one wouldn't be feasible. So, let's add a few prerequisites-"
"Age: 24 years old. Height: 1.9 meters. Hair color: white."
"Those who meet these criteria can report to the finance department to claim their reward. Oh, and Koyama-kun, you'll be responsible for managing these bonuses as well. We need every ryō of our 70% profit share from Konoha~"
24 years old? 1.9 meters tall? And white hair?!
Koyama Ichiro's mind seemed to short-circuit momentarily.
As he processed the information, his anger surged, overcoming his fear of Gojo Kaigetsu. "Gojo Kaigetsu, you've gone too far!"
"Is there no law in this village?! Do you think Konoha is your personal dictatorship?!"
"Just you wait! I'll go to Elder Danzo and Elder Homura to impeach you!"
*Bang-*
Koyama Ichiro stormed out, leaving only the echo of his furious voice in Gojo Kaigetsu's office.
[You protected Konoha's interests. Prosperity +3]
"Hmph, how ignorant."
Gojo Kaigetsu relaxed back in his chair, completely disregarding Koyama Ichiro's threat.
A sly smile played on his lips. Koyama Ichiro's outburst had inadvertently sparked inspiration within him.
The content for the next issue of "Iki" began to take shape in Gojo Kaigetsu's mind.
The plan to invade the Four Great Nations was multi-faceted.
Attracting foreign merchants to invest in Konoha was just one aspect.
Another was to ignite the "rebellious" and "ambitious" spirit within the worker and ninja classes of the Four Great Nations.
To make them understand that they were free!
Ultimately, it could be summarized in one phrase: "Stir things up."
"The more chaotic, the better."
Gojo Kaigetsu grabbed a pen and paper, quickly jotting down his inspired thoughts.
