Episode 1474 The things you have done are paying off. (4)
“Wo this is the accommodation?”
“Go in first.”
“Yes?”
“If you stay outside like that, it will interfere with the allocation of accommodations for other people. Please go in and unpack first. Other explanations will be given later.”
The man nodded.
It’s not that he wasn’t. At this moment, new people were coming in behind him. Their puzzled expressions must have been the same as the one he had just moments ago.
“Let’s go in first.”
“yes.”
After swallowing dry saliva, they carefully opened the front door. And the mouths of those who saw the inside of the building were wide open.
“…What is this?”
Although it looks nice on the outside, honestly, I thought the inside was nice, even if it resembled a warehouse. However, the inside of the building was decorated quite nicely.
This does not mean that there are superficially beautiful decorations. This means that it had all the options. The room is properly divided with a temporary wall, and there is even a bed installed on the wall where a person can rest by simply putting up a blanket.
“oh my god.”
I looked back at the person who had guided me, holding the shoulder of the woman who was at a loss as to what to do with a trembling hand.
“I’m sorry, but… there seems to be some mistake.”
“Yes? A mistake?”
“yes. We did not come here as guests, but as refugees. “Something…”
The man trailed off with an apologetic look on his face.
I saw a nice house, and I feel like staying there. Why not? The child is exhausted, so I just want to sit down and rest without thinking about anything.
But I can’t. Always. This is because those who have lived their lives knowing that something they thought they had in their hands is taken away again, it is more despairing than when they had nothing to hold in the first place. If they thought they would
live here but were kicked out to a shabby tent again, the disappointment would be indescribable. But
the answer to that concern was very succinct:
“This is everyone… um. “It’s called Mr. Chae.”
The person who glanced at the name on the doorplate said calmly.
“This is Chae’s family’s lodgings, and there is no need to change anything, so don’t worry. Take a look. Aren’t the others going in the same place?”
The Chae man blinked. The behavior of those who came in behind them was no different from that of their family, but they were assigned accommodations next to theirs.
“Then is it really okay to use this? But everyone who comes here…”
“As long as there is no shortage of housing, that will be the case. “After that…”
The face of the person speaking distorted for a moment.
“No… that’s how it will be. Because we won’t have a shortage of houses.”
It was an incomprehensible word. Mr. Chae let out a laugh.
“Anyway, first unpack here and rest. It’s hard to explain right now because I’m busy, but soon
someone will come out and tell me what I’m going to do and various other things. “Okay then.”
“Wait a minute!”
“Yes?”
The man who was turning around glanced back at Mr. Chae.
“Can I ask you one more thing?”
“yes. “What is it?”
“There was a person who came with me. Where did he go? He went somewhere else on the way.”
“If you come alone, you will be assigned a different accommodation than this one. “Because we can’t give
a house of the same size to one person .”
“That’s right. Then?”
“Yes. “You must have gone to shared accommodation.”
“Ah… So are all the people who came as a family like this…?”
“No.”
“Yes?”
The man looked ahead as if he was in a hurry and answered quickly.
“The people assigned to this accommodation have small children. Even if they are families, we do not give them a room. .”
“Ah…”
the man said, glancing at the child on Chae’s back.
“It’s difficult to live with other people and take care of a child. Anyway, you will soon find out about the rest. Then.”
The man bowed his head and quickly walked away. Mr. Chae looked blankly at the back and then looked back at the given lodgings.
“I’m not possessed by a ghost.”
“Honey, it shouldn’t be like this…”
“That’s right! Let’s go in instead of like this.”
“That’s not it!”
“Huh?”
The woman who was holding her luggage around said in frustration.
“Shouldn’t we contact Hubei somehow? “Your brother didn’t come with us.”
“Oh, that’s right. It’s no different from Shaanxi or there.”
“If you knew this place was like this, wouldn’t you have come? “It looks like more people will come here in the future.”
“That’s right…”
Mr. Chae paused for a moment.
“But at best, if we call you and we don’t have enough houses…”
“Get out of the way!”
“Eh?”
Mr. Chae was startled. A cart filled with a mountain of lumber was speeding along the road they were standing on.
“I told you to get out of the way!”
They hurriedly got out of the way, and the cart passed in front of them like a flash. It was twice the height of an adult man. The timbers stacked up to about 1,000 feet were swaying as if they were about to collapse at any moment.
Rumbling! Rumbling! Rumbling! Ten
such carts passed by one after another. Mr. Chae, who was standing blankly breathing in the dust, nodded slowly. .
“There won’t be enough houses.”
“Let’s find a way to contact them somehow.”
“Okay. Let’s go in for now.”
Before entering, he saw the doorplate on the side of the door. A doorplate with your name written on it. He immediately closed his eyes and shook his head.
“I’m not possessed by a ghost.”

Cheongmyeong, who had climbed halfway up the volcano, stuck out his head and looked down at the scene of Hwaeum. People who had come from far away lined up and were being gathered(?) one by one into the harmony.
“Hmm, it’s not too late.”
Jo Geol was startled by Cheongmyeong’s words and asked in a flushed voice.
“Hey… did you know this would happen?”
“what?”
“Did you know that so many people would come? Is that why you built so many buildings?”
“Then why did you think you were building so many houses?”
“That’s right… I thought you were just going to take advantage of the momentum and keep building because no matter what you do, it’s a bit excessive… Cheongmyeong. Still, I’m on death row, so I don’t look at it that way. “At least you have to look at me with human eyes.”
“You have to talk like a human to be seen as a human.”
Jo Geol, in tears, pointed to her left and right.
“Do you think I was the only one who thought that? Do you think everyone else knew? Please speak privately.”
Baekcheon smiled.
“I knew.”
“Me too.”
“me too.”
“Amitabha Buddha. It’s obvious.”
Jo Geol was at a loss for words. The look of resentment toward the executioners was like looking at treacherous traitors who sold out the country.
“These traitors…”
“Then why are you speaking first? It’s not like you’ve been hit once or twice. ”
Jogeol’s shoulders slumped in comfort rather than comfort from Yoonjong.
Baekcheon chuckled and looked at Cheongmyeong again.
‘He’s such an amazing guy.’
Others were busy preparing for war. All attention was focused on how to gather as many warriors as possible to deal with the Sapae-ryeon.
But Cheongmyeong looked elsewhere from the beginning.
As soon as he returned to Shaanxi, everything he did was in preparation for receiving refugees.
“How many more do you think will come?”
“Huh?”
“Refugees. “There will be at least twice as many, right?”
Cheongmyeong looked at Baekcheon’s question with sullen eyes.
“But he was a bit clever at one time.”
At that moment, Baekcheon’s face suddenly distorted.
“Just answer! Don’t add a single comment before answering.”
“You’re talking twice as much. “Now is the beginning.”
Cheongmyeong chuckled.
“Because rumors will spread to those who thought the same thing happened to Shaanxi. No, the rumors are already spreading. The news they deliver only confirms the rumors.”
“……”
“Unless it’s for local people who don’t need to evacuate, they’ll consider this place first. Even if only a third of them come… hmm.”
As Cheongmyeong spoke up to that point, his eyes glowed eerily.
“That’s right. Then it’s still not enough, so we need to cut more of the mountain over there…”
Before he could finish speaking, Jogeol grabbed Baekcheon by the collar.
“Why! Why did I say something useless…!” ”
…I’m sorry.”
I didn’t know I would do that either. But you bastard, I’m still a private person…
Baekcheon’s shoulder shakes off Jogeol’s hand. He shrugged and asked,
“I guess what you’re targeting are other factions that come along under that pretext. Even those who deep down think that Cheonwoomaeng is better will have a hard time breaking away from the old faction.”
“You’re half right.”
“But it is not as simple a problem as you might think. As you know, feeding so many people is not easy, right? “What the volcano has collected so far…”
“Huh? Feed them? Me? Those people?”
Cheongmyeong looked back with a face that said, ‘What kind of bullshit is that?’ Baekcheon trembled. That’s because there was a truly puzzled look in his gaze.
“Then what are we going to do? Are we going to starve them to death? Anyway, if it’s the people who came this far, shouldn’t we be responsible until they return?”
“You’re going back? Where?”
At that moment, Baekcheon saw.
The expression he knew… really knew well began to appear on Cheongmyeong’s face.
“This is home now, what does that mean? You can come as you please, but not when you leave. .”
“……”
“Let’s see. I have to rent the house I built over there, and there must be a lot of work to do to do all this.”
“Take three? Hey man! Those people are refugees!”
“…Sasuk. You seem to be mistaken, but those gentlemen are refugees. They are not injured people. Do you know what that means?”
“well?”
“Just fifteen days ago, they are workers who were gathering food and raising their children with their bare hands.”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes were filled with evil.
“It’s just that they moved from Hubei to Shaanxi. If there is a job here, then what?” Do you really want to go all the way back to Hubei to do that?”
“No, Cheongmyeong. “I guess you don’t know because you don’t have a hometown…”
“Wow now?”
“Oh my goodness, look at that nobleman talking.”
“Are you just criticizing Cheongmyeong for being an orphan? “Did you leave your human heart behind in Gangnam?”
“Oh, no, that’s not what I’m saying!”
Baekcheon shouted, blushing bright red.
“Everyone has a desire to return to their hometown! That’s what you’re saying. You
bastards!”
“Look at your excuse.”
“Take a look at the humanity of Amitabha Buddha.”
Cheongmyeong, who was watching them bickering, chuckled.
“Oh, that’s right. I love my hometown.”
“So…”
“But Sasuk, once you start farming, doesn’t it take at least a year?”
“huh?”
The corners of Cheongmyeong’s mouth twisted evilly.
“Will I be able to return to my hometown after plowing the land once?”
“…You…”
“You have a good heart, you have a good heart.”
Looking at the shocked Baekcheon, Cheongmyeong calmly shrugged his shoulders.
“It’s good for those people because they have a place to work, and it’s good for us because we have money… no, it’s
good because we can lend land and rent a reasonable amount of money. In the meantime, I am also developing harmony.”
“You were definitely like that before. “Hwaeum is not a place where it can grow that much because the terrain is bad.”
“Oh, I did. “What is the terrain like now?”
“The terrain? Uh…”
Baekcheon blinked. Now, a plain is so vast that the end cannot be seen before our eyes.
“…It’s crazy to see it again.”
“People do this.”
“Even the foster care system will say I’m crazy if they see this. It’s easier to dig a canal.”
“Oh, that’s right. I’ll still do that.”
“Huh? That’s it?”
“canal.”
At that moment, the heads of the volcano disciples shook and returned to one place. Towards the flowing river in the distance.
“No way…”
“No matter how many wells we dig, there is no answer. Wouldn’t a river flowing near the city solve the problem?”
“……”
“Then farming will become easier and more farmland will be secured to distribute to those noblemen.”
“… Isn’t that the river you’re talking about the Wei River over there?”
“Is there another river here?”
There was silence. Baekcheon barely opened his mouth. I knew I shouldn’t have asked, but
I still had no choice but to ask.
“Then… who is selling it?”
“……”
“Cheongmyeong?”
There was no answer. Baekcheon’s eyes were moist as he looked at Cheongmyeong’s back.
‘Kill me. I’d rather just kill him.’
He seriously thought about it. Wouldn’t it be better to take refuge in Hubei to survive
?
