Episode 469:
The next day.
Four teacups landed in the conference room.
Yuho, Muwol, Jegalin, Jin Cheonhee.
Sitting in four directions like the Blue Dragon, Hyeonmu, White Tiger, and Suzaku, discussing future events.
“The head of the Baesong family has made it clear from the beginning that he will not do this, so even the four generations of family heads are not coming.”
Yuho answered.
“In the past, there was no choice because there was no one to replace them, but wasn’t there finally a slave to replace them? “If they could devote themselves to medicine, they would do so.”
Muwol slurped down the tea with a stinging expression.
“You can say whatever you want. “Commander of the Foreign Party.”
After hearing Jin Cheon-hee’s words, Mu-wol glanced at Zhuge-lin’s gaze and continued speaking.
“No, no matter what, you still treat people like slaves…”
My inner nature cannot completely suppress my ego as a middle manager, and I timidly hesitate.
Jin Cheon-hee smiled and answered.
“That’s how much you trust Muwol, the leader of the Foreign Party. In the past, you would have just attended the meeting.”
“Well, there was a time when I was suspected of being a spy. “But it’s not.”
“Right. No! The leader of the outer party of Baekrin Uigak! You worked so hard to bear all that work alone! “It was the Commander-in-Chief of the Outer Party who sent medical supplies from the White House to the field barracks during wartime, and it was the Commander-in-Chief of the Outer Party who supplied food, including potatoes, after the war!”
Jin Cheon-hee pats Muwol’s back and cheers him up.
However, he already feels like he is getting thinner day by day.
Is the workload of Baekrin Uigak this much?
Damn… no… His benefactor, Lord Sogak, is starting a new business every day, and Yuho is the one who prepares the budget for the new project, looks at the land, and recruits the manpower.
But… the work doesn’t slow down!
“Well… I went to ask the heads of the four generations to help me with the work, but… I couldn’t see him anywhere.”
“Baekrin Uigak is essentially like a maze. “I understand that the leader of the Foreign Party is confused about the way.”
“He says he goes on rounds every time he goes somewhere.”
“Rounding is important work.”
“So, when I follow the circuit, he disappears again.”
“Hahaha, the road is a bit difficult. “I don’t think it’s good for Jeongsama patients to see each other face to face.”
“No… well… I wonder if he knew in advance that I would skip the work and was avoiding it…”
“Is that possible? ha ha ha. “It’s an illusion.”
After a month or two, you might say, ‘Maybe it’s because I’m not good at finding directions…’
For the first few months I was here, I got a good look at the heads of the four major clans.
In fact, we encountered each other so often that it made me wonder if they were watching him.
However, from some point on, you can’t even see the nose.
If you even entrust him with a task, he disappears to the point where you wonder if he even exists.
Is this the Wanongsan Assassin’s method of defense that I’ve only heard about?
‘Indeed, Jegal Sega. If you’re clumsy, you won’t survive.’
Although they are not tactful people, they are among the masters of the art of living.
No, it may not be the Zhuge family’s problem.
These are the people who lived under Jegalin during that time.
It would be difficult to work under that shabby Lord Uigak and earn money with the help of ordinary management skills.
So, the moment he watched Muwol, who was new, and decided that he had grown up enough to be trusted, he popped out like a ghost.
‘No… Anyway, wouldn’t it be too much for all four of us to stand out?’
At least, Yakjaedangju Manpagok has a probability of 5/10.
It is not a symbol of benevolence for nothing.
She has a kind, Buddha-like appearance, and occasionally shares tasks and bestows healing medicine.
Since Muwol is from Sapa, I habitually checked the ingredients and found that it was just an ordinary aphrodisiac and stimulant.
It meant working instead of sleeping.
The most difficult person to meet is Sima Byeong, the head of the Bedding House.
Recently, the busiest department became the busul department, but until then it was the bedding department.
Back then and now, the job at the bedding center has never been easier.
He used to be a man that was hard to find, but now he is determined to run away. This damn old man.
Next is Judanha, head of Chunadang.
There is a rumor that he lived in Nanman in the past, but it is not certain.
I like to drink and have a good time… but I tend to splash.
It appears with a one in ten probability.
In the past, Yu Ho, the head of the National Party, gave me some sneaky advice.
‘If you’re in a hurry, open a bottle. Then, Uigak will ask what kind of alcohol you have and come to confiscate it.’
She has a nose like a ghost.
Only her stomach knows where the confiscated alcohol went.
Next is Dokgo Junghu, the leader of the military faction.
Although he always talks about asking for his retirement, he is still easy to meet.
Of course, the work is not shared.
Because it is not the type of document head to begin with.
‘okay. In the end, it’s all about survival of the fittest and the best of the fittest. Whether it is Sapa or Uigak, it does not change. What’s more important is whether or not you can survive on your own.’
Foolish Muwol.
Since when did you start relying on the power of others?
After all, humans are born alone and die alone.
He felt a little distracted by the heavy workload of Baekrin Uigak.
Take a deep breath and deeply inhale the scent of Longjing tea.
Finally, he opened his mouth.
“First of all, the council’s profits have increased by as much as three times compared to half a year ago. First, here’s the bamboo copy.”
He put down a few more bamboo sticks and paper documents in front of Jin Tianxi and Zhuge Lin.
The two quickly skimmed through Muwol’s report with blue eyes.
It was Jin Cheon-hee who made the first move.
“Your funds have risen significantly.”
“This would be more than the three top 20s in the midfield combined. In other words, if you look at the funds he has, he can be said to be a top ten midfielder.”
“Yes, it is.”
Muwol continued speaking with a bright expression.
“The profitable products are recreational products such as sapphire, red jade, Baekphosphorus Shindan, and Geumho Shindan, as well as medicines, logistics distribution, and Baekphosphorus convenience stores. The last one is Haze City.”
“The haze city is surprising. “It’s a hippopotamus that eats that much money, but it’s hard to believe that it earns this much.”
“In that sense, why don’t we raise the entrance and tuition fees to Yeonmu City?”
At those words, Jin Cheonhee shook her head resolutely.
“That’s not possible.”
Strangely enough, this young man unconditionally prevented any increase in the price of Haze City.
It seemed like there was a reason, but it probably wasn’t just money.
‘But Eun-gong must have a different reason.’
In conclusion, this is a good thing for the warriors.
If you wait, your turn will eventually come. At least there will be no cases where you cannot enter due to money issues.
Muwol said.
“Money is not helpful just because you have it. “It is important to use it appropriately.”
Jin Cheon-hee asked those words.
“Director of the Foreign Party, what do you think is a good way to utilize it?”
“I think it’s good to expand our influence. Of course, I feel embarrassed because I am reversing my own advice to raise the entrance fee to the smoke city. “I think it is also a good way to expand influence.”
‘Hmm. ‘Influence.’
Jin Tianxi suddenly looked back at Zhuge Lin, and he was lost in thought.
Finally, he folded the fan with a loud sound and continued speaking.
“It’s been quite a while since I started running Baekhwanhoo. By now, there must have been quite a number of people who graduated from Baekhwanhu. “What happened?”
Yuho quickly answered.
“We are expanding into many fields. There are people who entered the military and advanced to government positions, and there are many who became members of the National Assembly and learned martial arts before entering the armed forces. “There are also people who are interested in making things that are a bit unique, so they go into the iron room.”
“Iron room…? “That’s surprising.”
“yes. It is said that he became interested in it while selling wood at a blacksmith shop. At Baekrin Uigak, we are exchanging various technologies with the Sichuan Dang Family. “Even if it’s not at the price of 4,000, we can make usable items.”
“Good.”
After saying that, Master said something unexpected.
“It’s time to lay the next paving stone. “We are entering into Zhejiang Province in earnest.”
“yes?”
Jin Cheon-hee and Mu-wol were both surprised at those words.
Only Yuho calmly poured the tea without any sign of surprise.
Jin Cheon-hee asked back.
“S… Master? Why did they suddenly advance into Zhejiang…?”
“There are Botamun in Zhejiang Province, but their headquarters is in the Zhoushan Islands. In other words, because it is an island, it cannot control or exert influence over the entire Zhejiang Province. In addition, Botamun tends to reverence the Buddhist path rather than the path of enlightenment, so it excludes the worldly part.”
Suddenly, I thought of Monk Avi.
She made Jin Cheon-hee look classy with her wrinkles.
To become the Emperor of Swords, he fought against Lord Namgung.
Only the head of the Namgung family and Monk Father would know the results.
Not saying it out loud.
‘Probably… there’s a strong possibility that it was a draw or that Monk Abi won.’
This is the Namgung family, who has been reigning as the king’s sword.
I have prided myself on not losing to anyone when it comes to swords.
They settled down in the middle of the central plain, raised their power, and ruled as a sword.
From the perspective of the Namgung family, Botamun is a rural Buddhist gate in the corner.
Even though the Jusan Islands are a base, from the perspective of the Namgung family, which expands its power along the river in the middle of the central plains, it is a small place that is not even among the eight major families of the old clan.
It would be a blow to one’s pride to be stabbed by an old nun in such a place.
‘Monk Abbi, by nature, will only focus on his own martial arts. ‘You probably don’t care much about the unknowns in the central plains.’
In the past, when cholera spread, these were the people who chose to leave without a single thought.
What is more important than pride is human life.
It is said that Kangho’s duty fell to the ground, but the true wisdom was in Botamun.
Amitabha Buddha.
I will have to send my lawmakers to visit soon and take a look at the situation.
Master continued.
“Zhejiang Province is truly a region like the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, with both the Sa and Right factions coming in and proliferating. “Now that Baeklin’s government has become well-funded, I don’t think it will be that difficult to take control of it and bring it under our influence.”
“Hmm…”
Jin Cheon-hee was lost in thought. Finally, he winked at Muwol.
Muwol said.
“As the war has just ended, most factions have to re-groom the warriors who returned from the war, while our Baekrin faction’s strength is intact, so the timing is good.”
“Well… the lawmakers who came are resting.”
“yes. “You take turns on vacation.”
However, from here on, it is a fight over how the person holding the sword will advance.
Since it was not a fight between lawmakers, Baekrin’s office could be said to have the advantage.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“Besides… wouldn’t it be easier if we linked up with Botamun and shared the rights there as well?”
“That seems like a judgment mixed with emotion.”
“Well, Botamun can be trusted?”
“If it means trust, that’s not a bad thing either.”
Jin Cheon-hee nodded and answered.
“I think that if you need to invest in Zhejiang Province, it is better to go to Botamun. Of course, since Dosan Geomlim and Botamun are also run by people, you can say that they can stab you in the back at any time…”
Slurp –
I swallowed a sip of tea and exhaled deeply.
Then he continued speaking with his eyes unwavering.
“The cooperation I experienced from them was truly genuine.”
