Chapter 572 Colorful Mineral Veins

The border area of ​​the Kingdom of Thunder.

"Bah...bah...what the **** is this place?"

Kanroy and his partner Tantiyi fell into a deep pit during today's exploration mission.

The two are members of the Kumogakure exploration team. It goes without saying what they usually do.

The country of thunder has a very large area and there are a lot of unexplored places.

The Kingdom of Thunder is not poor either. With limited talents, the speed of exploration has never been fast in the past.

After all, they only have so many people, and they won’t be able to cover the rest of the place in a lifetime.

Therefore, the exploration team fishes wherever they can.

But after Kumogakure's defeat on the battlefield of Water Country.

All this changed after Yunyin paid a large amount of pension.

Tasks have been added to every project that may bring benefits to Yunyin.

The exploration team is no exception.

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

Therefore, the exploration team’s daily exploration tasks have been tripled.

Kanroy and Tantiyi were exploring a cave today when a subsidence accident occurred.

The two fell directly into the pit.

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

I turned on the light on my head.

Started to check on Tantiy's condition. Fortunately, Tantiy was just knocked unconscious.

After Kanroy's treatment, Tantiy woke up immediately.

"Are we falling?"

Kanroy nodded calmly:

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

Tantiy took out the kettle and took a sip:

"Okay, let's go together."

The two of them are not worried about being trapped underground, because they are ninjas.

And it can escape from the soil. Considering the quality of the soil nearby, it won't take much effort to get out.

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

After Kanroy passed a corner, he stopped directly, and Tantiy directly bumped into him.

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

Kan Roy shivered and stepped aside:

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

Tantiy's eyes were immediately hurt by the colorful light in front of her.

Tantiyi closed her eyes and shouted in disbelief: "Colorful mineral veins!?"

…

Raikage's office.

Lei Ying was discussing matters with Tudai. Most of Yunyin's people were muscular guys, not only their whole body but also their brains.

Generally not very smart.

But fortunately, their Raikage is self-aware and knows how to leave complex matters to capable people.

That’s why the Kingdom of Thunder is developing very well.

"The village's fiscal deficit has been serious recently."

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

Although the Kingdom of Thunder was a big country, the death of more than 4,000 chuunin and genin was enough to traumatize Kumogakure.

The Kingdom of Thunder has also strengthened its open source projects, and its exploration tasks have increased. The Academy of Science and Technology has also sold a lot of scientific items, and the shipyard has also built and sold a large number of ships.

During this period, the Kingdom of Yao successively ordered forty ships from Yunyin, but Xia Mu did not ask for a discount and directly bought them back at the original price.

If it was just a pension, Kumogakure would certainly be able to sustain it. The key was to restore the number of ninjas.

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

It’s normal to not have enough money.

Even the ships of the Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Water will pass through the waterway of the Kingdom of Thunder, from the Kingdom of Thunder to the country behind.

The reason why the Kingdom of Thunder does not impose a ban is because these merchant ships will bring a lot of benefits to the Kingdom of Water.

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

If the Kingdom of Thunder bans the waterway, both sides will suffer losses.

After all, in addition to the water route, the caravans from the Kingdom of Water can also take the land route, but it will take longer and the benefits will be reduced.

At that time, Kumogakure would be unable to receive any money at all, and would be put under pressure from other countries.

Of course, we don’t dare to exert pressure by force, but in terms of foreign trade, we will meet the country of Kare.

Therefore, after the Kingdom of Water was defeated on the battlefield, the Kingdom of Thunder still did not block the waterway.

"Tutai, what do you think we should raise the tariff? Anyway, the caravans from the Kingdom of Water make so much every time they go back and forth."

Raikage suggested.

Tutai shook his head: "No, Sir Raikage, if you rashly increase tariffs, there will be many chain reactions."

"The Country of Porcelain and the Country of Craftsmen behind us have always relied on the iridescent ore from the Country of Rainbow."

"If we ban the waterway, the Country of Porcelain and the Country of Craftsmen will not agree. We still have large-scale trade with these 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 Kingdom of Water make money?"

Lei Ying said angrily that he was most annoyed by this feeling of being unable to use his strength.

Tutai said helplessly:

"Iridescent ore can only be found in the Kingdom of Rainbow. Currently, the only alternative to iridescent ore is colorful ore."

"But no large veins of colorful ore have ever been discovered. Today's colorful ore is much more expensive than iridescent ore."

Raikage punched the table angrily, Kumogakure was still stronger than Kirigakure now.

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

Now, the only way to attack Kirigakure is in business.

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

However, as Kirigakure retrieved the six-tailed Yugao, several external battles have been organized.

When a Jinchūriki fights pirates, you will experience what cruelty is.

A tailed beast jade blasted over, 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, she held the document in her hand and said:

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

Lei Ying's eyes lit up and he immediately took a look at the file.

The above is the geological exploration report.

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

The report was immediately prepared and sent back.

After Lei Ying saw clearly the reserves and labels on it, he was overjoyed.

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 it replaces the iridescent ore market, it will cause heavy losses to the Kingdom of Water.

"Okay, okay..."

"In this case, we can attack the caravans from the Kingdom of Water."

Lei Ying handed all the information to Tutai and asked Tutai to give him some advice.

"Should we announce this to the outside world now, so that the caravans from the Kingdom of Water will lose 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 inherited from the previous generation of Raikage, Tudai's strategy was very clear to Raikage. When he saw Tudai, 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..."
