Chapter 552: Theory of Capital
“Uncle Ling Yi, can you not leave?”
Xue Qianxun took Ling Yi’s hand and raised her head, her delicate little face full of Reluctant to give up.
Ling Yi lowered his head and looked at the little girl who was holding back the moisture in her eyes. She sighed softly in her heart and raised her free left hand to gently rub the soft blond hair on her head. , said warmly: "Xueer, be good, your birthday will be in more than three months. My uncle promises you that he will come to celebrate your birthday and prepare a big birthday gift for you, okay?"
No He refused directly, but mentioned the little girl's birthday to draw her attention to a few months later, which was considered as a thought for the little girl.
Xue Qianxun easily understood the meaning of Ling Yi's words. Her mouth tightened and Qiongbi sniffed slightly. Under her control, the expression on her face showed a slightly innocent smile: " Well~ Then it’s agreed, uncle Ling Yi, you must come then~ I don’t need a gift, as long as you come~~~”
“Don’t worry~” Ling Yi bent his index finger and lightly He gently scraped Xue Qianxun's small nose and said with a smile: "Uncle promises you, he will definitely do it. Even if we are thousands of mountains and rivers away, blocked by mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will definitely come back - ”
“Huh? ”
Xue Qianxun was startled at first after hearing Ling Yi’s promise, her pink lips slightly opened, her big eyes blinked, and after she came to her senses, she quickly waved her hands. , said: "If it is really too far or there is danger, then forget it. Uncle Ling Yi, don't work too hard, let alone encounter danger-"
When saying these words, the little girl Although there was still a bit of reluctance between his eyebrows, his face was full of seriousness.
Looking at such a little girl, Ling Yi smiled, raised her head and looked at Disiya, who was watching the interaction between them silently.
Dixiya's eyes were very gentle, and the figures of Ling Yi and Xue Qianxun were reflected in her crystal-like pupils, but nothing else.
At the age of twenty-eight, she is the most beautiful moment in a woman's life. She is both youthful and beautiful, and has a mature charm. Coupled with her doting eyes, her whole body is full of love. The brilliance of motherhood is more like an angel of holy light than the angel god sculpture in Wuhun City.
Noticing Ling Yi’s gaze, Disiya did not avoid it. The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
"Don't worry~" Ling Yi lowered his head again, looked directly into the little girl's big eyes of Kazilan, and said with a smile: "Uncle is very strong, there should be no danger in this world that can hurt him. Come to me~”
"Practice hard, I'll have to check it out in a few months -"
"Yes!" Xue Qianxun nodded vigorously.
......
Farewell to Xue Qianxun, who had already become a thirty-level three-ring battle soul king before he was ten years old, and who unknowingly broke through to the fifth-ring soul king. In the realm of Disiya, Ling Yi left the palace and returned to the headquarters of the [Aoki Chamber of Commerce] in Tiandou City.
“Has Duke Storm notified you?”
Ling Yi was sitting in his own office, looking down at the financial statements for the first quarter of 2628 in the Douluo Calendar of [Tian Dou Empire], and asked casually while distracted.
"Notification has been issued~" Mangli sat on the chair in front of the desk, with his back straight. As soon as he heard Ling Yi's question, he respectfully replied: "Three days ago Princess Denise has been informed of the city lord’s wishes. On the same day, the palace servants went out and rushed towards the location of the [Storm Dragon Wolf Targaryen Family].”
“Presumably, that person. The Duke of Storm should be preparing to leave at this time, heading towards Tiandou City."
"At the speed of his travels in the past, he will be able to arrive in about five days at the latest. If it's quick, it will take about two days... To be specific, my subordinates have sent hidden bats to explore the [Targaryen family] clan. There are wireless intercoms to relay the news. When Duke Storm sets out, we can be here in the shortest time. I’ll know within the time.”
“Two to five days~” Ling Yi nodded slightly in disbelief, skipped the topic, and then asked: “Those who are sent to serve as teachers in the Advanced Soul Master Academy, Have you chosen everything?”
"Selected~" Mangli replied without thinking: "After one year of training and selection, 72 of the first batch of 128 candidates finally met the requirements and obtained the title of senior teacher. The qualification certificate can be used as a teacher in any high-level soul master academy."
"As for the remaining fifty-six, although they failed to pass the examination due to their respective shortcomings, they all obtained it. With the intermediate teacher qualification certificate, thirty-seven people have already chosen to join a senior soul master academy and successfully joined it. "
"If everything goes well, this year's third 'All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy' will be held. With unified assessment, the quality of candidates should be much better than the previous two sessions!”
Three years ago, on October 1, 2626 in the Douluo Calendar, the first session of ‘All Continental’ was held! The unified assessment of the Advanced Soul Master Academy was held in "Lingyun City", and the outstanding students who finally stood out were, to be honest, somewhat unsatisfactory.
Anyway, Ling Yi is not very satisfied.
In order to solve this problem, Ling Yi set up a new plan: a pre-job training program for gardeners.
If Douluo Continent is a nursery, then the students in the Soul Master Academy are excellent seeds that have been initially screened and cultivated.
In order to ensure that these excellent seeds can have a better growth environment, bloom their most brilliant flowers, and bear the sweetest fruits, then we need excellent and professional gardeners to carefully , carefully take care of these fine seeds.
......
About the same time, in the [Canghui Academy] located in the Fasnuo Province of the [Tian Dou Empire].
On the sixth floor of the teaching building, on the walkway outside a certain classroom, Zhao Wuji crossed his arms and looked down at the large playground a hundred meters away from the teaching building.
"What a pity, Little Leaf~" Lu Qibin stood next to Zhao Wuji and said with a look of regret.
Zhao Wuji raised his eyelids slightly and locked his eyes on the young man who was talking to a group of teenagers in the playground. He shook his head and said: "Forty-three soul power level, the peak of martial arts secret strength, can only It is said that time is also destiny~"
"In this senior teacher qualification certificate assessment, in terms of martial arts, the lowest one is the forty-fifth level soul sect, and in terms of martial arts, they have also reached the level of transformation. Jin, a martial artist who started to temper the internal organs, even though Xiao Yezi achieved seventh place in theory, the score ratio was too low in front of the examiners of other advanced soul master academies!"
" Fortunately, not all high-level soul master academies only focus on strength. Like this [Canghui Academy], they can make an exception and let Xiao Yezi be directly responsible for a class of students because of his theoretical performance. This is comparable to Lao Li and Yin Shu. They're off to a much better start..."
Lao Li, also known as Li Yusong, is one of the fifty-six people who finally obtained the intermediate teacher qualification certificate in this "Gardener Pre-job Training Program".
“You should feel lucky that compared to those soul masters who are still studying in low- and intermediate-level soul master academies, or even started wandering around on the mainland directly, you guys have a much better start!”
On the big playground, a handsome young man with meticulously combed hair said to the more than ten teenagers in front of him with his hands behind his back: "There are more efficient meditation methods in the Advanced Soul Master Academy. There are experienced teachers at the Mimicry Cultivation Center that will speed up your cultivation, and can guide you to avoid detours and mistakes on the road of cultivation, so that you can reach a higher level of strength in a shorter time!"< br>
"Introduce yourself~" The young man's eyes were extremely bright, and his expression was calm and confident: "My name is Ye Zhiqiu, my martial soul is "Black Turtle", and I am a member of the forty-third level defensive fighting soul sect! ”
As the words fell, a circle of black ripples was released from Ye Zhiqiu’s body. The originally slender limbs shrank a little at the same time, and the back quietly bulged, and a huge carapace appeared on his back at some unknown time.< br>
As the black soul power gleamed all over his body, a total of four soul rings, one white, one yellow, and two purple, rose from Ye Zhiqiu's feet, hovering around his body, moving up and down.
"Besides that~" Ye Zhiqiu glanced at the students in front of him, noticed the disapproval on the faces of two of them, and said calmly again: "I am still a dark warrior. "Basic Body Training Technique" has perfected the twelve forms of practice, mastered seventeen kinds of spirit beast mimicry fists, and mastered six conventional weapon fighting skills: knife, sword, spear, stick, axe, and hammer."
Ye Zhiqiu's words made all the students widen their eyes, including the two students who were faintly leading the crowd. Taking all this into consideration, Ye Zhiqiu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He did not choose to talk about the theoretical knowledge of martial arts that [Canghui Academy] valued in him, but instead focused on his achievements in martial arts.
When I was receiving training before, the lesson plan compiled by the Lord City Lord once mentioned that in the eyes of teenagers, theoretical knowledge is boring and boring. Only by using the splendor of power to attract them, make them interested and take the initiative. Only by learning can teaching be carried out in a two-way manner.
On the other side, noticing that Ye Zhiqiu had initially gained recognition from the students and successfully secured his position as a teacher, Zhao Wuji followed Lu Qibin back to the Academic Affairs Office and proposed to the dean, vice dean and others of [Canghui College] Farewell.
As for Lu Qibin, he stayed at [Canghui College]. He is one of the seventy-two senior teacher qualification certificate holders, and he is also the newly appointed teaching director of [Canghui College].
……
[Silves Kingdom], outside Rogge Town, on a hill with beautiful scenery.
Yu Xiaogang stood expressionlessly in front of a ruined wooden house. Three meters away in front of him stood a huge bloody ball about ten feet high.
The whole ball resembles a super-enlarged version of an ostrich egg, but the 'eggshell' on the outside is made of flesh and blood, opening and shrinking like a fetal movement.
At a certain moment, the frequency of the sound of fetal movement accelerated, like a dull drum beat, which shocked Flanders and Shi Nian, who were guarding a hundred meters away, and were upset and wanted to vomit blood.
“Hiss—!”
The sound of tearing cloth sounded, and a lizard head stained with light red mucus and with two bifurcated sharp horns emerged from the bloody egg. out.
Immediately afterwards, heads protruded from the blood eggs one after another. Two looked like mice, one looked like a bird, and together with the horned lizard from before, there were four heads in total.
Looking at the "Three Blood Dragon Kings" that had grown a head again, Yu Xiaogang's indifferent face showed joy, and he waved to the evil dragon spirit that had broken open the blood egg, revealing its entire ferocious body. After taking it into his body, a huge amount of soul power emerged, pushing his total soul power to increase rapidly.
He had already reached level seventy-nine for a while, but after just half an hour, the soul power in his body stopped rising and stopped at level eighty!
Controlling the martial soul that had advanced to the "Four Blood Dragon Kings" and sealed away most of the remaining soul power, Yu Xiaogang opened his eyes, and the blood light flashed, making the void in front of him distort.
“I’m level 80. When I hunt down the “Ink Scale Poisonous Dragon” in the “Sunset Forest”, the youngest Soul Douluo in Douluo Continent will definitely engrave my name on Yu Xiaogang’s name. name--! "Yu Xiaogang murmured to himself, with a sickly flushed color appearing on his face.
Thirty-four years old, level 80, this record is two years earlier than Ling Yi and Tang Hao, who broke through the Eighth Ring Soul Douluo at the age of thirty-six! ! !
……
『Tian Dou City』, Aoki Chamber of Commerce.
"Next quarter, the price of food materials in the northern part of [Tian Dou Empire] will be reduced by another 10%." Ling Yi put down the financial report in his hand and said to Mang Li and Qingqiu Xin in front of him.
“Reduced?!” Qingqiu Xin did not respond immediately. Instead, he frowned and persuaded: “City Lord, our original selling price is already low enough. If we lower it again, we will But there is no profit!”
"The low price of grain hurts the farmers, this is what you taught us before."
Ling Yi tapped the financial statements in front of him and said: "I looked at the current [Barak Kingdom] and [Star Luo Empire] The purchase price of blue silver rice over there, even if our selling price here in Tiandou Beidi is reduced by 10%, we will still make a profit."
"There is a profit," Qingqiu Xin said. He curled his lips and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "You can deduct the transportation costs and labor costs in various places, as well as some miscellaneous expenses. After this calculation, the most you can do is not lose money, how can you make money——"< br>
“Isn’t this hard work in vain——”
In the past, Ling Yi didn’t teach them this way.
Qingqiu Xin still remembers that when [Aoki Chamber of Commerce] was first established, Ling Yi told them a concept called 'Capital'.
The social state of Douluo Continent can actually be divided into a form of slavery.
In addition to the semi-public slave trade, but also because of the existence of martial arts, personal strength has become the criterion for measuring the strength of a force.
Forced buying and selling, or even direct plunder, is the real situation behind Douluo Continent’s shiny appearance.
The exploitation of slavery is direct. When people are relaxed, they flog their bodies to make the enslaved fear physical pain.
However, in the "Das Kapital" that Ling Yi taught Qingqiu Xin and others, the exploitation was indirect. They would not force anyone or harm anyone. It was everyone's right to buy or not buy things from [Qingqiu Chamber of Commerce].
However, this seemingly gives free choice, but in fact, under the comprehensive layout of [Aoki Chamber of Commerce], everyone has no choice at all.
Just like grain, nearly 70% of the grain in the entire continent was bought by the [Aoki Chamber of Commerce] at a slightly higher price than the previous market purchase price, and then sold at a slightly lower price than the current market price.
Except for the part that was taken back into granaries by various countries, all the food in Douluo Continent at that time was in the hands of the [Aoki Chamber of Commerce].
Of course, before the high-end combat power of the [Aoki Chamber of Commerce] has developed, Ling Yi will definitely not let the [Aoki Chamber of Commerce] manipulate food prices. Not now.
It's just like mushroom eggs. Ling Yi feels that she can use them, but she can't live without them, let alone have them in the hands of others.
In addition to food, there are weapons, weapons produced by the [Blacksmiths Association].
When everyone can hold a sharp weapon, everyone will put pressure on those who are unwilling to change. Fear will destroy his will, and in the end he can only buy weapons produced by the [Blacksmiths Association] and [Aoki Chamber of Commerce].
And even if you don’t buy it from the [Blacksmith Association] and [Aoki Chamber of Commerce], it doesn’t matter. The other party will buy it elsewhere, such as in the hands of [Haotian Sect], such as in [Tian Dou Empire], such as [Star Luo Empire], such as [Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect]...all of them are accomplices in raising the status of divine weapons.
No one can blame Ling Yi, the [Blacksmiths Association] and [Aoki Chamber of Commerce], because they have never coerced anyone to buy their products.
The capitals of the community of interests, in a consensus that does not require discussion, will bring all ordinary people with them to oppress ordinary people like them and contain them.
Until the hard-earned assets in your pockets are handed over obediently to the hands of the class represented by the [Aoki Chamber of Commerce].
But now, Ling Yi’s actions left Qingqiu Xin confused.
