Episode 907 Why don’t you try some shit? (2)
Recognition has a strange aspect.
Surprisingly, people do not feel peace as peace and chaos as chaos.
This means that in a situation where peace continues, the tranquility is not felt special, and in a situation where chaos continues, the urgency is not felt strange.
It has been three years since the Yangtze River Disaster occurred.
At first, those who were groaning at the great chaos that started from the Yangtze River eventually began to accept such a situation as a normal part of their daily lives.
Even in chaos, stability exists.
Even in the chaos caused by the conflict between the Sapae-ryeon and the old sect, and the existence of proliferating sects, the people of the world were somehow establishing stability in their lives.
That is, until the rumor that spread out of nowhere traveled around the Yangtze River basin like a horse without feet.
“They say the Party is withdrawing from Hubei?”
The man who heard those words widened his eyes and jumped up.
“What kind of bullshit is that? “The party is withdrawing?”
“That’s literally it. “I’m going back to Sacheon.”
“Then what should we do?”
The faces of those gathered in small groups turned pale.
Those who cultivate the land north of the Yangtze River cannot be unaware of how much work the Sichuan Tang family has done over the past few years. If they hadn’t protected this place, some of the people here would definitely not be in this world today.
However, when I heard that the Tang family was suddenly withdrawing from the Yangtze River, I couldn’t help but be alarmed.
“Why all of a sudden?”
“It looks like a sect is appearing in Sacheon.”
“what? “In Sacheon?”
“That’s right. “Didn’t the Sasangs rampage in Sacheon not long ago, burning down houses and plundering property?”
“Now it’s all the way to Sacheon…”
“Besides, I heard that Sapa bastards invaded Shaanxi Island again not long ago. “Now Shaanxi and Sacheon are no longer safe places.”
“Ah…”
The faces of those who were speaking showed an indescribable sadness.
As its name suggests, Sacheon Danga is the loser of Sacheon. If the Sa sects are in trouble in Sacheon, of course the Tang family must return to protect Sacheon.
“…I’m worried. What will happen if the Tang family leaves….”
“That’s right.”
“Does the party really not have that much power? Even if Sichuan is the problem, it is not enough to withdraw…”
“What is this person talking about?”
One of those who was listening got angry and complained.
“Sacheondangga! Sacheondanga! “Have they not had any connection to Hubei and protected us for the past few years without receiving anything in return?”
“That’s right, but…”
“Then I can’t shed tears of gratitude on the way, so what? My house is on fire. Are you asking me to leave the house and protect myself? “Is that what a person with a sword would say?”
“I was just saying that I was very disappointed. “Why are you being so angry…”
The person who spoke became depressed and shrugged his shoulders.
“That is the right thing to say! “Isn’t there somewhere else that should take responsibility for those damn Sapa bastards?”
At those words, the name of a sect came to everyone’s mind. A clan that was their pride until the Yangtze River Disaster occurred.
“That Tang family is going back a thousand miles because there is a problem in their own area, but while the people of Hubei are suffering so much, where on earth are those damn shamans and what are they doing?”
“…Who doesn’t know that? “Isn’t that what you’re saying because the shaman didn’t shine a light on his nose?”
“Then you should go to the shaman and complain! Honestly, what can a shaman do and sit back and say that he did a good job? Moreover, from what I heard, the volcano that was closed broke its seal as soon as the Sapa came to Shaanxi!”
“You mean that volcano?”
“That’s right!”
The faces of those who heard the name Volcano became mysterious.
In fact, to the people of Hubei, volcano was a name that evoked very complicated thoughts.
A forgotten Taoist clan that cannot be compared to the Shaman clan, which was once the representative clan of Hubei. However, after the Yangtze River Disaster, it was the only great faction that fought against the Sapae-ryeon.
And now, three years later, the location of the volcano is somewhere in the middle.
“The volcano broke through the gate…”
“Isn’t that what you’re saying? “To be honest, is the volcano’s seal the same as that of a shaman?”
“It’s different. “It’s different.”
The volcano did this to gain its own power. However, the shaman could not handle the pouring criticism and ran away.
“If Hwasan had been active in Gangho over the past three years, he would have received all kinds of praise. Isn’t Hwasan the only faction that maintained its pride in the damn Yangtze River disaster? However, the sect that refused to do so and declared that it lacks strength is Hwasan! volcano!”
“…yes. “What a great doormat.”
“Even those clans have problems in Shaanxi, so they release their seals and come out to protect people, but those damned shamans don’t care whether the people of Hubei die or not. Oh damn it!”
The fear that the Tang family was leaving began to turn into condemnation of the shamans.
In fact, any thinking person has no choice but to say that.
“Are there only shamans? What on earth are the small and medium-sized sects in Hubei doing now? Usually, you brag about it as a shaman’s slang! If there is no shaman, does even a secular person have to suck his or her fingers? “They say that the laymen of Shaanxi fought against the evil enemies even before Huashan arrived!”
“It is said that even the family members of Jongnam, who was a nobleman, risked their lives to fight.”
“What about shamans?…”
By nature, what stimulates people the most is anxiety.
The anxiety that the absence of the party family might increase confusion was making Hubei people seething.
“I heard that the people of Gyeonhyeon have become shamans, so let’s wait a little longer. “If they have shame, they will open the door and come out.”
“…If you had shame, would you have done the royal wedding?”
“no way. Shit! “I’m just bursting inside!”
The news of the withdrawal of the Sichuan Tang Dynasty was enough to turn the Yangtze River upside down. But there was another place where the fire really caught fire.
* * *
“What? “What did you say just now?”
“…Maehwa Island is withdrawing.”
The color drained from the face of Sima Gong, the chief executive of the Dafu Merchant Association.
“Maehwa Island?”
“…Yes, adult Haengsu.”
“Oh no! Why did Maehwa Island, which was in good condition, suddenly withdraw? “Did I hear something wrong?”
“no. Rumors are spreading now. They say they will receive the shipment by tomorrow and no more after that.”
“Are you trying to do maintenance on that? Is that it?”
“…It looks like he’s going to step out a lot.”
“no! Why are you leaving Maehwado? I’m scraping together a lot of money! And what about the facilities built there? “What about them?”
“It looks like he’s thinking of throwing it all away, too.”
“…What on earth is this…”
Sima Gong was so absurd that he muttered in bewilderment.
How much effort did Cheon Woo-maeng put into Maehwa Island and the adjacent dock? What was once nothing more than an empty plain has now become a huge city second to none in Hubei.
But are you going to completely withdraw from such a place?
‘Are you sane?’
This is something he cannot understand with his common sense.
As a merchant, it’s impossible for me to understand everything the powerful guys think, but no matter what…
“No, if that’s going to be the case, I shouldn’t have started a business! You can make more money, so why quit the business here? “They’re not crazy!”
Sima Gong couldn’t stand it anymore and jumped up from his seat.
“Have you done it, Haengsu? “What are you trying to do…”
“I have to see it with my own eyes! “I just can’t believe it!”
Sima Gong ran outside just like that.
Fortunately, the branch where he stays is located not too far from Maehwa Island. This is because not only the Dabok Merchant Association of which he was a member, but also numerous merchant merchants established branches near Maehwado Island and appointed members of the merchant merchants to preside over them in order to ensure smooth shipping.
When we arrived at the dock, running until we were out of breath, we saw many people who had already gathered after hearing the same news.
“Islandlord! “How on earth is this happening?”
“Are the volcanoes really withdrawing from Maehwa Island?”
“Then what do we do? If this happens, we will all starve to death!”
Surrounded by a crowd of people, Lim So-byeong sighed deeply.
‘Damn it.’
Today is the day I ran all the way to Shaanxi, but was kicked out without being able to rest and returned to Maehwa Island. But as soon as I came back, I couldn’t help but cry because I was surrounded by people again.
No, no.
Maybe I’m a little happy. After suffering from damned people who treat him like a bandit, he is still with people who treat him like a fugitive.
“Everyone please calm down.”
Lim So-byeong cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
“Is this really true? Lord Doju?”
“That’s it. “It’s a pity, but Maehwa Island will be closed for business as of tomorrow.”
“Then what are we supposed to do?”
“Without Maehwado, we can’t transport goods to Gangnam! “Those enemy bastards are still going crazy!”
“volcano! What do volcanoes say? Is this the will of the volcano?”
“now. “Everyone, please calm down.”
Lim So-byeong waved his hand and consoled those who were making noise.
“I also want to continue doing business, but unfortunately, the movement in Gangnam is unusual. “Don’t you all know the situation roughly?”
Those who objected to those words all fell silent.
They also know that the scam association has completed its internal reorganization. They are merchants. No matter how vicious the Sapaeryeon are, they will not try to catch and kill them one by one.
However, Maehwado Island is a volcanic area. This is the place they will most likely target first when they cross the Yangtze River.
“Then really…”
Lim So-byeong nodded.
“But you don’t have to worry too much. Isn’t this Maehwa Island? “Obviously, even if it’s not a volcano, someone will try to continue operating it.”
“Okay. That’s true, but…”
“Then you don’t know anything about him?”
“well.”
Lim So-byeong smiled knowingly.
“It’s meaningless to argue from the perspective of someone leaving. Just…”
“Just?”
“Isn’t everything going as it should? “The original owner will get his place back.”
“If you say you are the original owner….”
“Well, I don’t know. I think I’ve said everything I wanted to say. “We won’t stop even at night and will definitely deliver your goods until the sun sets tomorrow, so if you have any luggage that hasn’t been loaded yet, please bring it quickly!”
The merchants’ eyes shook greatly when they heard those words.
“Move it!”
“Damn it, the warehouse is still full of luggage!”
“Now, even if we just move our luggage for a moment, how do we get the changed items back?”
“That’s something to think about later!”
They were suddenly caught up in confusion and could not think of asking Lim So-byeong anything more.
In the middle of the mess, Lim So-byeong ended up laughing.
‘Sapa’s conspiracy?’
That’s not even funny.
When it comes to plotting, he doesn’t even come close to the devil’s toes.
Lim So-byeong took in the large city spread out in front of him with his eyes. A commercial city where the richest merchants in the world gather, a city that everyone in the world would covet.
‘Is there a bait bigger than this in the world?’
Even Lim So-byeong didn’t know if Cheongmyeong had really thought about this three years ago or if things had just come to this as the situation progressed. Should I say that I have a feeling but no physical evidence?
Anyway, whatever the intention, it was clear that this mouth would become the nucleus of a typhoon that would sweep away countless people.
“…It’s unfortunate, though.”
Lim So-byeong licked his lips and gestured to his subordinates.
“Load your wealth in advance. “I have to leave as soon as tomorrow comes.”
“yes! Nokrim…no, Lord Doju!”
“Tsk.”
Lim So-byeong opened his fan wide and waved it towards my face.
“It’s a shame that the name Doju is disappearing, but it’s probably good.”
His gaze turned across the river.
“Because I think it’s going to be more fun now.”
A soft sound of laughter flowed through the shouts of the confused people.
