Chapter 572 Colorful Mineral Veins

Border of the Land of Thunder.

"Pfft... Pfft... What the hell is this place?"

Kan Roy and his partner Tanti fell into a deep pit during today's exploration mission.

The two are members of the Cloud Hidden Exploration Team. It goes without saying what they do in their daily work.

The Land of Thunder is very large, with a large number of unexplored areas.

The Land of Thunder is not poor either. With limited talent, the speed of exploration has always been slow.

After all, they are so few people that they can't walk through the remaining places in their lifetime.

So the exploration team can fish whenever they can.

But after Cloud Hidden lost on the battlefield of the Water Country.

All this changed after Cloud Hidden paid a large sum of compensation.

Every project that may bring benefits to Cloud Hidden has added tasks.

The exploration team is no exception.

Even the exploration team is the one that the Raikage pays more attention to.

So the exploration team's daily exploration tasks have tripled.

Kanroy and Tanti were exploring a cave today when a landslide occurred.

The two fell directly into the deep pit.

Kanroy woke up first and spit out the dirt in his mouth.

He turned on the light on his head.

He began to check on Tanti's condition. Fortunately, Tanti was just knocked unconscious.

After Kanroy's treatment, Tanti woke up immediately.

"We fell down?"

Kanroy nodded calmly:

"Since we are all down, let's see if there are any mineral veins nearby."

Tanti took out a kettle and took a sip:

"Okay, let's go together."

The two of them were not worried about being trapped underground because they were both ninjas.

And they could escape underground. As far as the soil nearby was concerned, it would not take much effort to get out.

The two walked along the underground passage. After about ten minutes, there seemed to be a light source in front.

Kanroy stopped directly after passing a corner, and Tanti bumped into him directly.

"Kanluoyi, what are you doing? Why don't you leave?"

Kanluoyi trembled and stepped aside:

"No... no need to leave... maybe we won't have to explore again in this life."

Tantiyi's eyes were immediately hurt by the colorful light in front of him.

Tantiyi squinted his eyes and shouted in disbelief: "Seven-colored mineral veins!?"

...

Raikage's office.

Raikage was discussing with Tutai. Most of the people in Kumogakure are muscular. Not only are they all muscular, but they are also muscular in their brains.

They are generally not very smart.

But fortunately, their Raikage has self-knowledge and knows to hand over complex things to capable people.

That's why the Kingdom of Thunder has developed very well.

"The village's fiscal deficit is quite serious recently."

The fourth generation Raikage said helplessly, because too many people died in Kumogakure last time, and the pensions were spent like water.

Although the Kingdom of Thunder is a big country, the death of more than 4,000 Chunin and Genin is enough to make Kumogakure suffer.

The country of thunder has also strengthened its open source projects, increased the amount of exploration tasks, sold a lot of scientific items from the Institute of Science and Technology, and built and sold a large number of ships in the shipyard.

During this period, the country of light has successively ordered 40 ships from Kumogakure, but Xia Mu did not ask for a discount and bought them back at the original price.

If it was just the pension, Kumogakure could certainly hold on, the key is to restore the number of ninjas.

Therefore, Kumogakure must invest more in the training of the next generation.

It is normal that there is not enough money.

Even the ships of the Chamber of Commerce in the country of water will pass through the waterway of the country of thunder and reach the country behind from the country of thunder.

The reason why the country of thunder does not prohibit it is because these merchant ships will bring a lot of benefits to the country of water.

It will also bring a lot of tax revenue to Kumogakure.

If the country of thunder bans the waterway, both sides will only lose.

After all, in addition to waterways, the merchant caravans of the country of water can also go by land, but it will take longer and the benefits will be reduced.

At that time, Yunyin will not be able to collect any money at all, and will also be pressured by other countries.

Of course, they dare not use force to pressure, but they will be concerned about the country of thunder in foreign trade.

So after the defeat in the battlefield of the country of water, the country of thunder still did not block the waterway.

"Tutai, what do you think about raising the tariff? Anyway, the caravans from the country of water make so much money every time they go back and forth."

Raikage suggested.

Tutai shook his head: "No, Lord Raikage, if you raise the tariff rashly, there will be many chain reactions."

"The country of porcelain and the country of craftsmanship behind us have always relied on the rainbow ore of the country of rainbow."

"If we ban the waterway, the country of porcelain and the country of craftsmanship alone will not agree. We still have large-scale trade with the two countries."

"This will only hurt both sides, not to mention that there are other small countries that also rely on this route."

"Then we can only watch the country of water make money?"

Raikage said angrily, he hated this feeling of being powerful but unable to use it the most.

Tutai said helplessly:

"Rainbow ore can only be found in the Rainbow Country. At present, the only thing that can replace rainbow ore is seven-color ore."

"But no large seven-color ore veins have been found. The current seven-color ore is much more expensive than the rainbow ore."

The Raikage pounded the table in frustration. The current Cloud Village is still more powerful than the Mist Village.

But if you want to invade on a large scale, you need strong financial support.

Now, the only way to deal with Kirigakure is in business.

Some of the pirates on the route have some relationship with Yunyin.

However, as Kirigakure retrieved the Six-Tailed Yugao, several external battles had been organized.

Fighting pirates as a jinchuriki will make you realize what cruelty is.

A tailed beast jade exploded directly, the pirate ship was gone in an instant, and the pirates spiraled directly into the sky.

Those who survived were all missing arms and legs and fell into the sea to feed the fish.

Nowadays, many pirates no longer dare to touch the ships of the Kingdom of Water.

At this moment, Mabuyi knocked on the door and walked in.

Her voice was very exciting and she held the document in her hand and said:

"Lord Raikage, Lord Tudai, our exploration team discovered a super large colorful vein."

Lei Ying's eyes lit up and he looked over the file to check it out.

The above is the geological exploration report.

After Kanroy and Tantiyi reported back, the exploration team explored all the mineral veins as quickly as possible.

The report was immediately prepared and sent back.

Raikage was overjoyed after seeing clearly the reserves and labels on it.

This time the veins are very concentrated and the mining difficulty is low. Only initial preparation is required before large-scale mining can be carried out.

It can even completely replace the iridescent mineral market in the Kingdom of Rainbow.

The Kingdom of Rainbow is a country without ninjas, so the export of iridescent ore is usually entrusted by the Private Chamber of Commerce of the Kingdom of Water or the Kirigakure Caravan.

Even many chambers of commerce in the Kingdom of Water have been specializing in this for decades.

If the market for iridescent ore is replaced, it will cause heavy losses to the Kingdom of Water.

"Okay, okay..."

"In this case, we can take a good crack at the caravans from the Kingdom of Water."

Raikage handed all the information to Tudai and asked Tudai for advice.

"Should we announce this to the public now so that the caravans from the Kingdom of Water will lose all their money?"

Although Tudai also had a happy face, he was much calmer than Raikage. He picked up the exploration information and read it slowly.

He squinted his eyes slightly and began to think.

As an old man who was passed down from the previous generation of Raikage, the Raikage of Todai was very clear about his strategy. Seeing Dodai, he began to think deeply.

I felt happy, and every time Tutai thought about it for a long time, he would come up with very useful strategies.

Tutai thought for a long time: "We cannot announce this to the outside world, or even we have to block all the news."

"According to the reserves of the colorful mineral veins, we can completely monopolize this market."

"If this plan succeeds, it can severely damage Kirigakure..."
