Chapter 300

The excited smile on Rasa's face immediately froze.

The disappointment on his face was self-evident.

Rice that can be grown in seawater is indeed magical, and for the Land of Wind, which lacks planting land, it could solve the food difficulty.

But if there is no sufficient yield, no matter how magical this rice is, it has no effect.

Although the greening action of the Land of Wind is underway and progressing quickly.

But it is impossible to change the land in a short time.

Even if Senju Xingye turned the entire Land of Wind into a forest, it would take a long time to change the geology here.

Greening is a long-term investment; returns are hard to see, but it is very necessary.

Senju Xingye looked at the change in Rasa's expression and felt somewhat amused.

Rasa could become Kazekage and frame others without anyone noticing; his disguise skills must be quite good.

But even so, Rasa could hardly hide the excitement on his face after hearing about the magic of the seawater rice seeds.

For the Land of Wind, food is the most troublesome problem.

Lacking supplies, they are the country with the most severe famine among the five great nations.

This cannot blame Rasa's emotions for being too excited.

"Don't be in a hurry, Lord Kazekage."

"Although there aren't many now, this isn't a good time for planting, is it?"

Senju Xingye said with a smile.

"We have to wait until next year."

"By then, I will definitely have enough seeds to provide to you."

At this time, Rasa's expression had calmed down a lot.

Although his trembling fingers still exposed his hard-to-hide excited mood.

At least on the surface, he had recovered the calmness of a village shadow.

"Since that's the case, then regarding the price..."

Rasa secretly regretted in his heart.

He knew that his excitement just now would definitely make Senju Xingye significantly increase the price of the seeds.

But no matter how high the price, he had to buy these seeds.

Because.

As long as these seeds are planted successfully, they can have a steady stream of food and never need to worry about food again!

If Senju Xingye knew Rasa's inner thoughts, he would definitely say: You think too much.

Senju Xingye is counting on these seeds to make money.

How could he let the seeds have breeding ability?

These seeds are all one-time use; the rice ears grown can only be used for eating, not for planting.

Senju Xingye pursues a long-term business, not a one-time deal.

Only long-term business will bring more value.

A one-off deal might get a lot of money at the beginning, but the key is, does the Land of Wind have money now?

Among the five great nations, only the Daimyo's office of the Land of Wind owes Senju Xingye money.

Other Daimyos, although they bought many products from Senju Xingye, still have enough surplus.

This is the benefit of having enough resources.

And the Land of Wind doesn't have this natural advantage.

So, Senju Xingye knows very well that the Land of Wind can't squeeze out much oil.

It's better to take the long-term route and let the people of the Land of Wind work for a lifetime to pay off their debts.

"Let's not talk about the price; I came here this time to show Lord Kazekage the harvest situation of these seeds."

"After all, my words are not proof; it's better to let Lord Kazekage see it practically."

Senju Xingye didn't talk about the price.

Anyway, the price of the seeds shouldn't be too high.

If it's too high, Rasa might buy it the first time, but he definitely won't buy it the second time.

The first time, Rasa will think that more seeds will be harvested after growing them.

But after knowing that the harvested food cannot be planted again, he won't buy such high-priced food.

With that money, it's better to buy finished food directly, saving the manpower for planting.

"Alright then."

Rasa felt a pity, but the initiative was on Senju Xingye's side, and he couldn't force it.

Since he wanted to show the specialty of the seeds, he naturally had to plant them by the sea.

Rasa took a few high-level officials and followed Senju Xingye to the seaside.

Chiyo was also one of the people who followed.

She looked suspiciously at the seeds in Senju Xingye's hand, full of doubt.

"Can this thing really be planted in the sea?"

"I've never heard of this thing being planted in the sea in my life."

"Can it be eaten?"

Facing Chiyo's question that pointed to the core, Rasa was also stunned for a moment.

Yeah, can this thing be eaten?

After all, I've never heard of rice grown with seawater.

But since we're here, let's see.

Senju Xingye didn't care about the whispers behind him.

He just took out a handful of seeds and injected the power of Wood Release.

Then he casually sprinkled them toward the sea surface.

Although it can be planted in seawater, the height of the rice is there, so it definitely can't be thrown too far.

Under the power of Wood Release, the rice matured quickly.

Under the gaze of everyone, the heavy rice ears attracted everyone's attention.

"It really can be planted!"

Rasa muttered to himself.

Chiyo was still very puzzled.

"Don't be fooled; it might have something to do with his Wood Release. We might not be able to plant it if we get it in our hands."

It must be said that Chiyo was very cautious.

Considering various possibilities.

After all, Chiyo didn't like Konoha, especially since her son and daughter-in-law died at the hands of Konoha's Hatake Sakumo.

It could be said that she hated Konoha to the bone.

"I came here to make a deal, so I naturally wouldn't sell unusable products to guests."

Senju Xingye said with a smile.

"If you think there is a problem, you can come forward and check it."

"I'll see if there's a problem with your rice."

Chiyo stepped forward unceremoniously and plucked a rice ear.

Rubbing her palms, the husk separated immediately, revealing the intact rice.

The rice was crystal clear and full of grains; one look and you could tell it was top quality.

Chiyo took a few grains and chewed them in her mouth; she actually felt a faint fragrance, and even a little salty!

There was undoubtedly no problem with this rice.

At least there would be no problem eating it.
