Episode 466
“Well, if I grow up like this, I’ll be fine. “When it gets bigger, I plan to move it to the northern field.”
“And I’m going to cut up new potatoes and put them in.”
“That’s right.”
Although he is a disciple, he is a very strange person.
“And you are hugging that clay pot and admiring it from the carriage.”
“Hehehe. “I just brought a lot of potatoes.”
It was like that.
Jin Tianxi and Zhuge Lin are leaving the imperial palace with the White Lin Guards’ military force and heading north again.
I stopped at Baekrin Uigak along the way, picked up a few things, and went back up.
“It looks like the word ‘fatigue’ isn’t in your head.”
“It’s safe now.”
“Even though the Sukshin tribe was defeated and returned to the north, the war is not completely over.”
“But the people who fled are coming back, and the cities and villages inside the border fortress are crowded with people again, right? “It’s now or never.”
“What doesn’t work?”
“This is the only opportunity to spread the word that baking potatoes with toppings on top is delicious. “Master!”
Zhugelin wondered to himself why this guy had become his disciple and was going through all this trouble.
Words don’t make sense.
No, a gun appeared in my eyes, but the criminal did something unimaginable and strange.
“So you’re planning to spread potatoes to the northern plateau.”
“yes. I’m sorry to Gamja Kim, Gamja Lee, and Gamja Park, but it’s goodbye when we arrive at Seonmok. Grow up well. “When they grow well, they become delicious French fries.”
Jin Cheon-hee hugged the clay pot.
This crazy student even gave the potato a name.
The place where the carriage is heading is Seonmok (先牧).
It is a city where livestock farming is developed and horses are traded with nomadic tribes, and there are many horse ranches.
However, rather than meaning raising, it would be more appropriate to mean a ranch for breeding and selling.
Even if they are native to Seonmok, they are far inferior to the horses raised by nomadic tribes.
“But it’s really too much. “I see you as the same person whether you are an imperial citizen or a nomad until the end.”
“of course. These are the people who will appreciate the beauty of potatoes.”
“It can also be a measure for residents.”
“Hehehe…. You knew as expected. There’s nothing more delicious than eating potatoes when you’re hungry. It makes no sense to grow potatoes in the south in the first place. What hardships must they have had in the hot South Sea? “It seems to be a little bigger in mountainous areas.”
Tangerine flower wiji (橘化爲枳).
There is a saying that if a tangerine exceeds its number, it becomes a tangerine.
Just as the same tangerine tree produces different crops depending on where it is grown, does this mean that the nature of humans changes depending on the environment in which they grow?
Jin Cheon-hee just accepted it as the basics of farming.
The place where Jin Cheon-hee was located has everything necessary for transportation and greenhouses, agriculture and transportation, but this era is different.
We don’t know which crops grow best in which soil.
All we need to do is make the crops that originally grew in that area grow the same way as before.
This is what Jin Cheon-hee was trying to do.
“I was wondering what was going on because I was urging so much.”
“Freshness is important when it comes to potatoes. Master. “We need to transport it quickly.”
“So you prepared dried potatoes and seeds.”
“yes. But there will probably be quite a few sprouted potatoes by the time we arrive.”
“Cutting it out would also be work.”
“I will use it for planting. “And since I’ve prepared rice, you can just fill it up.”
“Your obsession with potatoes is enormous.”
“yes. Master. In essence, war leaves a lot behind. One of them is post-war food.”
It is the same as Budae Jjigae that was created in Korea.
It all started when he started boiling ham and spam given to him by the US military after the Korean War.
Hasn’t it now become a food loved by the entire nation?
“We give potatoes a chance to conquer the world. Khan didn’t deserve it, but Potato did. You guys are going to conquer the world. “Kim Gamja, Lee Gamja, and Park Gamja.”
The disciple even drew a face when planting potatoes.
‘…Why is this child so obsessed with potatoes?’
And then I laughed loudly.
“If people starve, their immunity will drop and infectious diseases will break out.”
“And I see that you paid particular attention to infectious diseases throughout the war with the Sukshin tribe.”
-Byeol-an Gwang-eui has mycorrhea.
This is a story that has already become established as orthodoxy within the martial arts community.
Either way, Jin Cheon-hee set a wildfire at the place where all the bodies were being cleaned up, under the pretext of making a field in the future.
Although he didn’t go into detail, he was concerned about the infectious disease to the extent that it seemed serious.
This disciple.
Jin Cheon-hee answered.
“It’s just… nothing special will happen. Nothing much will happen, but I have to do as much as I can. And if silk trade goes ahead as planned, local public sentiment will become very important. “If we could buy the public sentiment back then with the food we are selling now, it would be something that even gold couldn’t do.”
Humans are like potatoes.
Zegalin repeated and then opened his mouth.
“If these potatoes are like people, they will never forget rain during a drought for the rest of their lives.”
“That’s the way it is.”
The congressman knew how miserable the war was.
That’s why I couldn’t run away.
“Deficiency can kill a person, but it can also be a reason to move forward.”
“And the rice you sprinkle at that time will never be forgotten.”
“We will be in business for a long time. Master. “In the future, today’s good deeds will come back as a great force for Baekrin Uigak.”
“It will be the same for Sacheondanga.”
“Well, as a result, the Sichuan Tang Family has helped Baekrin Uigak since the beginning, so they deserve it.”
Danga is a good child.
Jin Cheon-hee saw the future of Sacheon Danga through Dang-ah.
Zegalin said.
“Also, you will try to do business with other nomadic tribes that are not included in the Sukshin tribe.”
“yes. Now that Khan has fallen from his horse, the dissatisfied tribes will leave one by one. There may be some tribes that did not participate in this war at all. I’m going to make a deal with them. “This…”
Jin Cheon-hee held up three bonsai pots with a solemn look.
“Kim Gamja, Lee Gamja, and Park Gamja.”
“Now that I see it, you even drew a face on that expensive clay pot.”
“Isn’t it cute? These children are the ones who will conquer the wilderness in the future. Of course, you have to draw the facial expression as well. fresh? cute?”
“….”
Tugoi, who was guarding, coughed.
“Cool… Meetin… Luck… Bastard…”
I ended up spitting out the three words of truth between coughs.
As soon as she saw her granddaughter, she was dragged out again and she felt very bad.
So, without saying a word, I rode in this hellish clay carriage, and the more I got closer and closer, the more I felt like I was getting closer and closer.
Jegalin glared at the enemy with cold eyes and continued speaking.
“Either way, I understand that your plan will work. That’s why I came with you.”
“Hahaha, I’m glad I was able to convince Master. really.”
For Jin Cheon-hee, persuading the Master was always difficult.
Jegalin, the ship of Baeklin.
Because what he showed in the war was something that just the expression “mirage” was insufficient.
When the carriage arrived, Gongsun family warriors were seen in front of the castle gate.
“Wow… you came right on time.”
“That’s right. Gongsunhyeon: I didn’t know she would come in person. “It must be quite busy.”
He must have smelled money.
Master added a word.
“Considering the money you made, I guess you assumed it would be a lot of money this time too.”
The carriage headed to the largest and cleanest guesthouse in Seonmokseong Fortress.
Even though it was the largest and cleanest, it was relatively so. The interior of Seonmokseong Fortress was full of orphans and beggars.
The injured people rolled around carelessly on the floor, and flies ate their flesh.
The temporary lawmakers’ tent was filled with people and screams rang out.
Security was also terrible.
When I entered the guesthouse, three people were waiting there: Gongsunhyeon, Gongsunyoung, and Wang Gak-yeon.
‘Ah, it seems like everything has become a disaster. ‘This is a flower scene, right?’
Looking at the energy naturally flowing from the body, it seems that he has succeeded in conserving the enlightenment he gained through this war.
“Baeklin’s Pavilion has arrived now. Sorry for keeping you waiting. Be polite, matriarch.”
Black Ice Poisonous Dragon Gongsunhyeon.
She is no longer the head of the family.
He confidently succeeded in the maritime trade that Jin Tianxi helped him with last time, and has now succeeded in taking complete control of the Gongsun family.
Became the head of the family.
Gongsunhyeon gave a light hand.
“He says all kinds of things. On the contrary, we are grateful that you asked us.”
* * *
Following Gongsunhyeon’s guidance, we entered the tea room and a neat and clean tea room was revealed.
‘The war is making things difficult for this guest house.’
Usually, if it is the largest guest house in a trading city, a lot of money is bound to come and go.
This is especially true for large merchants such as Gongson Merchants because the merchants and attendants who came with them also need to rest together.
However, what was placed in front of Jin Cheon-hee was Yongjeong tea, which was slightly better than yawning, and refreshments, which were better than not eating at all.
‘As expected, the local economy itself is collapsing.’
There are only a small number of weapons that can be sold through war.
Rather than buying weapons, the Sukshin tribe prefers to capture and exploit the craftsmen who make them.
Additionally, the Hua Empire also mobilized the supplies it had already stockpiled and went into battle.
It is not easy to make a profit in a situation like this, especially if the war has been going on for several years.
This was especially true since there was no shortage of military supplies until the very end.
As a result, it is impossible to sell anything through this war.
In the end, all that remains are ruins, where both the people who will sell the trade goods and the people who will buy them have either died or run away.
What can we do in this place where nothing but ashes remain?
Gongsunhyeon continued.
“First of all, I plan to trade horses and livestock through Bakridamae. “I plan to offer a reasonable price to the nomadic tribe.”
Jin Cheon-hee responded to those words.
“It would be a complete disaster for existing merchants.”
“yes. “The intermediate profits were so high that even a decent warhorse was worth the price of a house.”
Are you saying that Gongson Trading Company will step in and reduce profiteering?
Jin Cheonhee was lost in thought and asked.
“In addition, it would also be possible to raise war horses and deliver them directly to the military.”
“yes. However, in order to do that, we need land, and I hope Baekrin Uigak will help us with that.”
Jin Cheon-hee was lost in thought.
As a result of this work, Baekrin Uigak obtained the huge amount of land that was originally promised.
At first glance, it can only be seen as a barren wilderness where rice does not grow, but Jin Cheon-hee was confident that if used well, it could become a land of golden ssas.
‘Hmm, Master is just watching.’
I feel like they are testing how I can deal with Gongsunhyeon.
If necessary, he will step forward and break up the deal, but he probably won’t step forward himself.
