The boiling water frog has not been doing business in the Poseidon clan for a day or two, and the boiling water frog that has been doing business with the Poseidon clan mine all year round is no stranger to the divine power crystal, of course, he knows that the divine power crystal is difficult to get, but it is not completely without a doorway.

"I have a few long-term business partners, who control a few private mines, and sometimes if they are lucky, they will produce some powder of divine power crystals, of course, the quantity is very small, they generally do not sell it immediately, the more the number of divine power crystals, the higher the price of one-time sales, so generally they will hoard the collected divine power crystals, and wait until a certain number to find a seller, I can take you to contact them to see if they have any goods in hand, but a few are not cheap. ”

With the boiling water frog pulling the string, Luo Tian rested for a few days, and after recovering from his injuries, he went on the road.

The most valuable thing for the Poseidon clan is the mine, of course, this is in the eyes of outsiders, in the eyes of the Poseidon clan itself, the value of the submarine mine is not so high, the person in charge of a region of the Poseidon clan is called the governor, Lanny's father is the governor of the nearby fifty islands, and the affairs of the big and small are under his control, and the natural mine is also under his control.

According to the decree of the Poseidon clan, only the business owner who wins the bid after the governor's public bidding is qualified to operate the mine, and 30% of the profits of the mine will be given to the governor for recruitment, sales and construction and development, and in layman's terms, 30% of the tax must be paid.

This tax is not low, and not everyone can win the bid, most of the people who are legally qualified to open the mine are the governor's people, in fact, the governor goes through the process, and in the end the benefits of the mine will still flow into the governor's own pocket.

Therefore, since public bidding is unfair, many businessmen who have no way but have manpower secretly open their own mines, and these mines are called private mines.

The sea area under the governor's command is generally not small, there are a lot of big and small things, where can the governor himself manage, he will naturally hand over a lot of affairs to the people below to do, and the people below will join forces with these businessmen to open private mines to make money, generally five or five open, but the minerals themselves are rich resources in the Poseidon clan, so if you only do business in the Poseidon clan, the minerals can't be sold at too high a price.

But if you can make a deal with inland merchants like boiling water frogs, you can make a lot of money, boiling water frogs will not find official mines to do business, generally the price is relatively high, and the other party is more domineering with the support of the governor behind him, smart inland merchants will find private mines to do business, the purchase price is relatively low, and easy to get along with.

The boiling water frog made an appointment with the owners of several private mines to meet, and Luo Tian followed.

"The front is the island where we agreed to meet, although Lannie's father is the governor of fifty nearby islands, but in fact, many islands are controlled by local powerful people, the island in front is controlled by the owner of a private mine, he has thousands of private soldiers in his hands, many of my treasures are sold to him, this guy is very rich, ten years ago he dug up a fingernail-sized magic crystal, and it was sold for a very high price at that time. ”

When I landed on the island, I saw a lot of people waiting, and the leader was a Poseidon clan, dressed quite luxuriously, and at first glance it was a nouveau riche in the Poseidon clan.

In the past, Luo Tian felt that as long as it was the Poseidon clan, he should be very rich, but after he came, he realized that it was all an illusion, and the Poseidon clan had poor clans like clans who even sold themselves into slaves, and naturally there were also very rich people, and the gap between the rich and the poor of the entire Poseidon clan was quite large.

"Haha, long time no see, my old friend. ”

This Poseidon family, who looked fatter and had a round belly, laughed when they saw the boiling water frog, and they became old friends with the boiling water frog at first glance.

Naturally, the boiling water frog greeted him with a smile on his face, and the two of them hugged each other, and the boiling water frog was short so it looked as if he was holding a child.

"Let me introduce, this is the head snake of a nearby island, and it is also my old friend named Pengla, this is a friend I have known since I was inland, this time Luo Tian, who helped the Southern Regions to be in the limelight, he wanted to come to the mine to do some business, so I brought him here. As soon as the boiling water frog said Luo Tian's name, the expressions of the group of sea gods on the opposite side all changed, and they immediately stared at Luo Tian, and Peng La immediately looked at Luo Tian.

Luo Tian reached the finals of the Southern Regions this time, it can be said that he is famous, and he has become a popular figure in the Southern Regions within a few days, although many people have not seen him but know his name, at this time seeing the real person, Peng La naturally took a few more curious looks.

"Haha, Luo Gongzi came to my island to really make me shine here, come with me, I have prepared a reception banquet, and I will not return home if I am not drunk today. ”

Peng La does not have the feeling of being high above the Poseidon clan that Luo Tian met in the past, maybe he once had, but after the Poseidon clan has been crawling and rolling for so many years, the arrogance after climbing up from the bottom step by step is long gone, and the boiling water frog on the way here told Luo Tian about this Peng La's experience.

Pengla was born in a wealthy family, his father was the right-hand man of the former governor, and the family can be said to be the leader of the nearby islands, but later the former governor offended the Poseidon priest and was punished by the Poseidon Temple and deprived of the governor's position, and the father of Pengla, who was a confidant, also fell into the middle of the family, and moved out of the mansion and lived in the slums when he was young.

However, although he lived in the slums but wanted to become a big man again, he knew that the official career was not easy, so he switched to the business route, and at that time he made a group of peers in the slums, relying on his brilliant mind and personal charisma, Pengla became the leader of this group.

At that time, they relied on their father's old relationship to catch up with a petty official in charge of mineral procurement and distribution, and he helped to infiltrate the mining area as a miner for several years.

When the private mine is so easy to find, just when they finally found a private mine, they met the official family to extort money, and wanted to take this mining area, Peng La swallowed his anger on the surface, and secretly let his brother continue to recruit manpower, and gradually grew in strength, and when the official family found out that Peng La's soldiers were strong and strong, it was too late, you must know that the total number of troops registered in the Governor's Mansion was only a few thousand and they were also distributed to various islands, and Peng La's team at that time already had hundreds of people.

The official family was afraid of causing big trouble, so they discussed with Peng La and agreed to split the accounts in five or five years, so that Peng La could obtain the right to operate the private mine, and in this way, Peng La began his first pot of gold journey.

After that, he got bigger and bigger, and now there are six private mines in Pengla's hands, more than a thousand private soldiers, and the number of treasures is more than the governor, the governor has long known his existence but does not dare to mess around, afraid that in case of a conflict, he will suffer a big loss, and there are also local snakes such as Pengla in the ruling territory of each governor, and they can only live in harmony.

A group of people entered Pengla's mansion, the place was built more ornate than the governor's palace, and on the banquet, Pengla's female slaves danced and shuttled, although the wine pool and meat forest were a little excessive, but it was indeed quite luxurious, and everywhere was full of nouveau riche local tyrant atmosphere.

"Luo Gongzi wants to have a good time with me, if you have any requirements, I Pengla likes to make friends, especially a powerful person like Luo Gongzi, it is my Pengla's luck to know you, I toast you." Penla smiled as she raised her glass.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the banquet was good, the boiling water frog took the time to say: "This time I brought Luo Tian here, on the one hand, to do business between us, and on the other hand, Luo Tian has something to do with you." ”

"Oh, what is the matter with Young Master Luo?" asked Pengla.

Luo Tian smiled and said, "I need some powder of divine power crystals, and the boiling water frog said that you might be able to buy it here, so he brought me here." ”

Peng La was stunned for a moment, and smiled: "How precious that thing is, I may not be able to see it all year round, where can I get it, I'm really sorry, I really don't have it here." ”

Peng La said no, Luo Tian was a little disappointed, but the boiling water frog on the side seemed to see some doorways, and whispered to Luo Tian: "Don't mention it now, you just drink and have fun, and after the banquet is over, we will talk to him in private." ”
