Explosive equipment in different worlds

Chapter 336
"Aiming at the Shenlong Mercenary Group?" Linglong was a little curious, why didn't she hear Yeyi mention to her that the Shenlong Mercenary Group had provoked the Ji family and the Gu family?

"Didn't the Shenlong Mercenary Group seize a high-quality mineral vein from the Xingluo Mercenary Group?" Baili Yuze looked at Linglong and said.

Seeing Linglong nodding her head to show that she knew about it, Baili Yuze said again: "As far as I know, the backers behind this Xingluo mercenary group are the Gu family and the Ji family."

Linglong raised her eyebrows. She didn't know that the third-ranked mercenary group in Suzaku Kingdom, the backers of Xingluo mercenary group were the Gu family and the Ji family. Even Ye Yi and the others didn't know about it. This relationship is very tight.

No wonder even the ore veins in the hands of the First and Second Mercenary Groups are not as large as those in the hands of the Xingluo Mercenary Group. It turns out that the backend is strong enough.

Can it be hard?Behind Ji's family are Ji Fenghua and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess supporting the pole.

Speaking of the matter of mineral veins, it is a long story.

There are rules for mining veins, especially mineral veins that are generally exposed, basically belong to the royal family.

Although the field does not belong to the royal family, once the ore veins in the field are discovered, as long as the royal family has time to intervene, it will be properly labeled by the royal family.

Although this is a bit of a robber, but who makes his fist big.

But the royal family didn't do everything right.

Generally, the royal family will release most of the mine veins in their hands to contract people, and collect contract fees every year according to the quality and size of the mine veins.

This is not only the royal family's appeasement to the major forces, but also because the royal family really can't devote so many soldiers to mine the veins. It might as well contract it to others, and it can still sit back and collect the money. Why not?
Of course, most of the ore veins released by the royal family do not include magic stone mines and particularly precious ore veins. Anyway, the valuable ore veins occupied by the royal family will never be spit out.

As for who will contract the mineral veins released by the royal family, the rules have been set for nearly a thousand years.

The royal family will divide the mine veins according to a series of standards such as the contribution of each force to the country and the taxes paid, and has its own charter.

Forces like the mercenary group generally cannot be allocated to the mineral veins alone, because the contribution of the mercenary group to the country is generally not as great as the tax contribution of the big families to the royal family.

And where did the mineral veins contracted by the mercenary group come from?Basically, they all come from the city lord's mansion or the mercenary union.

The mineral veins in the hands of the City Lord's Palace actually belong to the royal family, but some unimportant mineral veins near the city are usually left to the management of the City Lord's Palace by the royal family.

Basically, soldiers are used everywhere in a city, so in many cases, the soldiers in the hands of the city lord's mansion are simply not enough. How can there be a few idle soldiers to mine?
But the mineral veins cannot be left idle, so most city lords will choose to contract this part of the mineral veins to the mercenary union, or directly distribute it to local mercenary groups.

For example, Yunzhong City has several mine veins in the Fengmo Forest, and these mine veins were directly distributed to the top three local mercenary regiments by the city lord's mansion of Yunzhong City. It doesn't necessarily take a lot of time to deal with it.

The city lord's mansion trusts the mercenary union, that's because the mercenary union is generally more reliable than the local family power, not to mention that the union still has a lot of labor and strength to eat, and there is no shortage of manpower.

This also resulted in the mercenary union having more ore veins in its hands than any other force.

The mercenary union has too many mine veins, so how to divide them becomes a problem. If the distribution is unfair, there will always be troubles.

As soon as the mercenary trade union made up their minds, they created a competition to divide the mines according to the results of the competition, so as to avoid conflicts among the people.

The rules of the competition are very simple. Each mercenary group nominates five people to participate in the competition, five-to-five battles, ranked by win or loss.

This competition is held once every ten years and is divided into five regions, namely the eastern region, western region, southern region, northern region, and central region of Suzaku Kingdom.

The top ten mercenary regiments in each regional competition can obtain the right to mine veins, and the quality and number of veins are divided according to the ranking. No. 1 gets the most points, and the lower the ranking, the less points.

This mercenary union's ore grab competition has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, but it has evolved into one of the largest events of the mercenary union.

To say that the most grand ore grabbing competition is the one with the most ore resources, it is the central region competition held in Red Flame City.

The central competition area is also the most competitive area in each mining competition, because the nests of the top three mercenary groups in Suzaku Kingdom are all here.And because this competition area has the most mineral resources, the three major mercenary regiments focus on each competition here.

Of course, the top three mercenary groups were the rankings before the Shenlong mercenary group came out. If they were to be re-ranked now, the top three would have to be ranked in the back row.

Unfortunately, the Dragon Mercenary Corps was in a hurry, and there were still five years before the next trade union mine competition, which meant that the Dragon Mercenary Corps would have to wait another five years if they wanted to win the ore veins through this mine competition.

But in addition to this once-a-decade competition, the mercenary group also has regulations. If another mercenary group refuses to accept the distribution of mineral veins, they can single out a favorite mineral vein and challenge the party with the mining rights of the mineral vein. Whoever wins the mine will get the mining rights.

Of course, not everyone who initiates a challenge must accept it. The party with the mining rights has the right to refuse. After all, there are not so many people who are stupid enough to use their own things to challenge others.

And Ye Yi took a fancy to the third-ranked mercenary group, the best ore vein in the hands of the Xingluo mercenary group.

Why do you have to focus on the mineral veins in the hands of the Xingluo Mercenary Group?Not only because this mineral vein has the largest oil and water, but also because the Xingluo Mercenary Group was No. 1 in the last competition.

No.1 is also right, but the problem is that the Xingluo Mercenary Corps cheated in the last competition and sought foreign aid.

The mercenary union's once-a-decade mine competition has regulations that prohibit the invitation of foreign aid, and the participants must be members of the group.

But just before the last competition, the Xingluo Mercenary Group suddenly joined two high-level magician masters, and after the competition ended, these two masters withdrew from the group again.

Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that the Xingluo mercenary group has hired foreign aid, but they are cheating. If they don't admit it, you can't do anything about them.

So Ye Yi took the Xingluo mercenary group for surgery.

Ye Yi was a big hooligan in the first place, and this irritating method was played with perfect proficiency.

The leader of the Star Luo Mercenary Group, who was reluctant to talk to Ye Yi at first, was provoked by Ye Yi and accepted Ye Yi's challenge in a fit of anger.

At that time, the reputation of the Shenlong Mercenary Corps was not as great as it is now, so the head of the Xingluo Mercenary Corps underestimated the enemy. As a result, Ye Yi won this high-grade mineral lode...

It was precisely because of this battle that the Shenlong Mercenary Group suddenly became famous in the mercenary union, and also won the favor of many mercenaries.

This Xingluo mercenary group is a bit domineering on weekdays, and they cheated in the last competition, so they were cast aside by many mercenaries.

This time the Xingluo Mercenary Corps suffered a loss at the hands of the Shenlong Mercenary Corps, and many people applauded. These mercenaries naturally developed a good impression of the Shenlong Mercenary Corps.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yoruichi took the opportunity to vigorously promote the treatment of his members, and many mercenaries immediately jumped to the Shenlong Mercenary Group.

If it weren't for this east wind, the Shenlong Mercenary Group would not have been able to grow to its current size of 20 members.
