Chapter 80 Where did the money go
"Ironware Market?"*2
Hearing Ling Yi's opening question, both Long Ang and Qingqiu Li frowned, not understanding how they suddenly brought up this topic.

You know, they are blacksmiths, and they also have a pretty good family power behind them. Naturally, they also run iron-related businesses.

After all, as a blacksmith, you have natural advantages and convenience in the sale of ironware.

However, if you ask them about the iron market in their respective cities, they can still give some relevant data. But Ling Yi asked about the iron market in the entire [Shuimu Principality], plus the people who came today. There are so many high-level blacksmiths located in the three major cities of the principality, dozens of smaller towns, and more villages and towns.

Therefore, the two soul masters did not give their answers immediately.

We can’t just say it, except for the situation in our own home, we don’t know what’s going on outside, right?
They are all decent people and cannot show their cowardice.

Therefore, Long Ang did not mention that he was a straightforward person. Like Qingqiu Li, he looked at Ling Yi with interest and willingness to hear the details, like an enlightened elder who gave the younger generation a chance to speak freely.

Ling Yi, who had done his homework in advance, was well aware of the situation between the two of them, but he also said again to save face: "The two seniors must also know that [Shuimu Principality]'s iron market last year had a turnover of 180. About [-] gold soul coins..."

The questions and answers were very smooth, but the pupils of Long Ang and Qingqiu Li, who were sitting opposite Ling Yi, suddenly shrank.

Ling Yi lowered his eyes in a timely manner, looked at the papers spread out on the table just right, and continued:
"Of these 180 gold soul coins, the major blacksmith shops in 'Muzhi City' accounted for more than 38 gold soul coins in transaction volume, ranging from ordinary farm tools, kitchen utensils, ordinary knives, axes, sticks, etc., to all kinds of Hundred-forged grade sophisticated weapons and implements, to name a few...

As for the cities where the two seniors are located, the transaction volume of "Bold Wind City" is around 32 gold soul coins, while the transaction volume of "Blue City" is less than 30 gold soul coins..."

"The towns and villages under the principality add up, and the transaction volume of various ironware is about [-] to [-] gold soul coins..."

Hearing this, apart from Mr. Jin, Fu Shan, and Li Qiang, who had known about it for a long time, both Long Ang and Qingqiu Li could not help but frown.

And even the three old men, Mr. Jin, have a somewhat complicated expression on their faces at this moment.

"That... um... Ah Yi... I am older than you, just like Mr. Jin, let me call you Yi~"

At this moment, Qingqiu Li spoke. He first glanced at the calmer Long Ang around him, and then turned his eyes back and forth on Mr. Jin and Ling Yi, and said at the same time.

While Ling Yi nodded and smiled, Qingqiu Li continued: "Although the data I have is not as complete as yours, but I think there are three blacksmith channels in this capital city, and A Yiyi's data should not be wrong. ..."

After a pause, Qingqiu Li took a deep look at Ling Yi, and asked, "Can you tell me where the other nearly half of the ironware transaction amount went—?"

"Muzhi City" is 38, "Cold Wind City" is 32, and "Blue City" is less than 30, more than 29 to be exact. [Shuimu Principality] The three major cities add up to 1000 million gold Soul coins up and down.

Even if the places outside the urban area below are included, the transaction volume will only be in the early 100 million.

This statistic, to be honest, was somewhat beyond his and Long Ang's expectations.

But what they both didn't expect was that the ironware transaction volume of the entire [Shuimu Principality] was 180 million gold soul coins! ! !

So, where did the nearly 80 gold soul coins go? !

In Douluo Continent, where one gold soul coin can meet the normal living expenses of an ordinary family of three for several months, what is the concept of 80 gold soul coins?
In the original book, Tang San worked for three years in [Nouding Junior Soul Master Academy], and his income was only one gold soul coin.

Of course, ordinary people are ordinary people, and soul masters are soul masters.

A first-level soul master can receive one gold soul coin from the [Martial Soul Palace] every month, a second-level great soul master can receive ten gold soul coins, and a third-level soul master can receive one hundred gold soul coins!

Why becoming a soul master is a class leap in the values ​​​​of everyone in Douluo Continent. In addition to strength, this small amount of money is also a huge factor.

Money is not everything, but money can solve many troubles and problems in the world.

With enough money, without considering other factors, you can even buy the treasures of the soul master world, the coveted soul bones!
Ordinary people need money for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and soul masters also need money, and the cost is even higher.

As long as a soul master has the pursuit of strength, he will never treat himself badly in terms of diet, not to mention eating soul beast meat, but he will never just eat white porridge, steamed buns, pickles, etc., and it is rare for him to change his tone and try something new Very few——

Let me ask, under such circumstances, who doesn’t want more gold soul coins in his pocket?

In the original book, Bai He, the patriarch of the [Min Zhi Clan], a majestic Contra, was stumped by a mere few hundred gold soul coins, because they had enmity with [Wuhundian]. Yue can get a lot of wool in [Wuhundian].

Although the family needs to spend a lot of food, drink, training, etc. up and down, it will not reach the point where it appeared in the original book.

Therefore, Qingqiu Li and Long Ang, who are soul masters themselves and have a family to support, are concerned about the disappearing iron trade volume of nearly 80 gold soul coins!
Although this is only the transaction amount, after excluding the cost of purchasing raw mineral materials, mineral materials during forging, charcoal consumption, labor, transportation, etc., the gross profit may be less than half, but that is still 40 to [-] gold souls. Money!

It can be said that few people in the entire [Shuimu Principality] can ignore such a huge sum of money!
If Ling Yi didn't lie, if there was such a transaction amount, if these ironware transactions were concluded in his own hands...

Thinking of this, both Qingqiu Li and Long Ang unconsciously breathed a little harder.

She stared at Ling Yi with piercing eyes, waiting for his answer.

Regarding this, Ling Yi smiled faintly, stretched out his hand to touch the table, and said, "I ran over here——"

Following Ling Yi's pointing, Qingqiu Li and Long Ang raised their eyes and saw the general landform and city distribution of [Shuimu Principality] outlined with pen and ink on the white paper.

But Ling Yi's hand did not fall anywhere in [Shuimu Principality].

Looking at the blank piece of paper pointed by Ling Yi's finger, Qingqiu Li and Long Ang's hearts skipped a beat, and an unpleasant feeling surged into their hearts.

At this time, Ling Yi's voice sounded at the right time: "Actually, the two seniors should know it, but they subconsciously don't think about it -"
