Episode 813
Jin Cheon-hee chatted and supervised the construction. Sima Hyeon and Nam Gung-un continue to escort Jin Cheon-hee.
“Definitely since then, the number of assassin attacks has decreased.”
“This is a fight over whether the person who will give the money will be arrested first or the person who will commit the murder will die first.”
“They say you shouldn’t expect loyalty from assassins, but isn’t that too shallow?”
Sima Hyun said.
“You shouldn’t think in terms of political factions~ Namgung Daehyup. “This is because they all want to make a living.”
At those words, Namgoongun rubbed his chin.
“That’s strange. “I can’t believe that so many people died and the world of Gangho was thrown into disarray just because of money.”
Jin Cheon-hee answered.
“It is true that money is important in a powerhouse, but money is just as important. Everyone said money was frivolous, so I just didn’t want to talk about it. In fact, there are many times when it is more serious than the silver lining.”
What is money?
Namgoongun was lost in thought for a long time.
* * *
The power of 100,000 people was incredible.
In just three months, Nanjing’s slums were completely cleared out and transformed into multi-family housing districts, and water and sewerage systems were completely laid out throughout Nanjing and its surrounding areas.
Of course, it is also equipped with sewage purification facilities.
‘But is this the beginning?’
Jin Cheon-hee’s real goal was to build water and sewage systems in every place in Jiangsu Province that could at least be called a small town.
Of course, it cannot be installed in a modern way. Because that was impossible even in Nanjing.
At the very least, the goal is to avoid having to go to the well when you need water and prevent it from being polluted by water spray or pestilence.
‘To prevent mass cholera, we must continue to manage it…’
Even though it was installed with this in mind from the initial design, it still needs to be continuously repaired.
That’s what public hygiene is, after all.
‘If it can be installed in small cities and lower-level villages, it would be good…’
It’s really good to have a lot of money.
Because it makes things that you think impossible possible.
‘With the current administrative power, I think I can just take care of the basic framework and leave the rest to others.’
Once administrative power met budget, it was no different than setting sails in the wind.
One more thing here.
Public bathhouses will also be built.
Thanks to Muwol’s help, public bathhouses began to be installed throughout Nanjing.
Of course, if these public bathhouses are not properly managed, they can become an express train leading to large-scale waterborne infectious diseases, so this is also a double-edged sword.
Fortunately, soap began to be forcibly distributed under Zhou Wangya’s orders.
Just washing is not important.
Of course, it is better than not washing at all, but you can definitely achieve public hygiene if you have soap.
‘Hehehe… Just imagining it makes me happy.’
This sense of accomplishment is important in administrative work.
In this pyramid Confucian class society, didn’t Jin Cheon-hee ride the development dictatorship tech tree?
Watching people change and get better right before their eyes was truly addictive to politicians.
“Oh, isn’t that because it’s my brother~?”
Sima Xuan said this:
“No. “Isn’t this something that any ambitious person would enjoy?”
Sima Xuan thought.
‘There are a few crazy people who have ambitions for public health in the first place.’
But Jin Cheon-hee was happy.
While working like that, I suddenly thought, ‘Ah!’ He made a sound.
The sound was not one of displeasure or surprise.
A sense of liberation and happiness.
“So is the work over?”
Namgoongun asked.
Jin Cheon-hee stretched as she stamped the last document.
“Is that so?”
“Then shouldn’t we at least raise a toast on a day like this? “My decent guest cup…”
At that moment, Jin Cheon-hee immediately pinched Namgung-un’s stomach.
“Keueoeook….”
“You need to stop drinking. Namgoong hyung. “Do you not want to hear me talk about you anymore?”
“…Oh no. Listen. It’s been a long time since I quit drinking, but isn’t it okay to have a drink on a day like this? “It’s a slope.”
“That’s enough, just hang up!”
Namgoongun looked pitiful at Jin Cheonhee’s words.
“I won’t pass. “It will never go away.”
“That’s too much.”
“Will you remember my advice if you try to burst a urinary stone in the middle of Mt. Cheopcheop, where there is no doctor?”
“Ugh.”
Namgoongun clicked his tongue at Jin Cheonhee’s words.
Sima Xuan smiled slightly when he saw the two people.
Although there were some hardships in between, it was still an enjoyable request.
After finishing work, Namgoongun decided to return home.
I will go back to my hometown and talk about various things with Elder Taesang.
Ever since Namgung Cheol, the previous head of the family, learned magic and was punished by having Danjeon abolished, Namgung Un’s shoulders have become heavy.
For Namgoong Woon, his father was someone he would be with for at least 30 more years.
As the head of the family, I was not mentally prepared, but I was suddenly handed over the inheritance.
Even though my grandfather, Elder Taesang, assists me, it is still difficult.
It’s been a long time since Namgoongun showed such a refreshing expression.
“It was a ‘request’ with a lot to learn. “It’s running well.”
“You said you had a lot to learn from this incident?”
As Jin Cheon-hee opened her eyes, Nam Gung-un smiled broadly.
“I wonder how many times the head of the household will experience something like this.”
The head of the family, the Namgung family, wears a night suit, climbs over the wall of someone else’s house, and fights thousands of enemies.
‘Furthermore, the battle ended after an exchange with the masters of both families.’
Usually, one of the two has to die to end it.
Namgoong Woon said.
“I realized that there are different paths in life. And I felt that I didn’t need to be the same head of the family as my father.”
“….”
Jin Cheonhee’s eyes widened slightly and then smiled slightly.
“That’s a good thing. Namgoong hyung.”
“I see. Jin au.”
The two people faced each other. Breaking up is always sad.
However, Namgoongun’s expression looked somewhat relieved, so it was difficult to tell him to play a little longer.
‘okay. That’s it.’
It looks like Namgoong Woon’s little wanderings have come to an end.
Knowing this, Parakho was such a model student that no one around him would have noticed, but wasn’t it even more difficult for such a person to find the answer?
Moreover, with Namgoong Woon’s position, finding an answer would have been even more difficult.
A short but long meeting.
At the end of his journey, he returned with enlightenment.
It was a more valuable treasure than anything else, and it will welcome a more mature head of the family in the future.
It was also the blessing of the Namgung family.
* * *
After Nangongyun returned, Sima Hyeon headed to Baeklinui Pavilion with Jin Tianxi.
“Are you not going back?”
“For the time being, I’m just going to act as a guard next to my brother~ Hao Wenju and Master both agreed, so don’t worry~”
“You have a lot of work to do, so that’s okay?”
“It seems that Gaga doesn’t know, but Sapa’s job is to collude with the government and make money. Who do you think will handle the kickbacks they made in the first place?” “You
know that. “You can see it just by looking at the ledger.”
It’s a really funny story, but when you look at it from the outside, you think that the political faction that makes a lot of inroads into the military is closer to the government, but if you look deeper, it’s even closer to the Sa faction.
Bribery, embezzlement, information gathering, and even contract murder.
‘There was a time in the past when Korea used gangsters to do ridiculous things.’
From the crazy times of sharing drinks in the room and having solid(?) discussions about the future, to the times when union protests were broken up using gangsters and sometimes people were beaten to death with wooden blocks.
Funnily enough, there have been quite a few instances of gangsters appearing in the modern and contemporary history of the Republic of Korea.
Looking at it like Kang Ho-sik, I realized that all people are the same.
This seems to be the same in other countries as well, with overseas politicians being caught receiving money from the Yakuza triad mafia for election campaigns. It’s a mess.
Add in pseudo-religion as well. This is also the same as Planet Murim.
This is a world where transportation and communication are not even developed.
We live in a time when most of the population is illiterate.
If it is a natural thing, then it is a natural thing.
‘In this situation, humans are able to live faithfully.’
As a result of the investigation, there were officials who lived uprightly and carried out their will even under these circumstances.
And among them, there were many cases where they were relegated to a single position or went back to their hometown.
“Now will the Sapas’ income be reduced?”
“It will be like that for a while. brother. But no one thinks it will go away. Even if the emperor is replaced right away, it can start again, and if the current emperor neglects governance, he will gain power again. From the beginning, the vow…”
“Yes. Because it belongs to Imperial Palga Gawan. There, you have already made connections, look after each other, and if you get a government position, that relationship will continue. “That is the faction and the accomplices.”
Still, the strong chain of the eight imperial families was finally broken.
Now, the test will be how clean those positions can be filled.
If you send people up without properly selecting them, the Seventh Family of the Empire will become the Eighth Family of the Empire again.
‘Well, I’m not worried up to that point.’
Who is Geumwangya?
A person who can read and manipulate people’s memories.
Didn’t the three of us raise the imperial power and come this far without any significant maternal relatives?
I definitely thought I could do well.
‘Even if you don’t hire talent, don’t let something happen in my front yard.’
I don’t even want peace and quiet in the true sense of the word.
I just hope that there is peace at least as far as my arms can reach.
“Don’t we have to work harder in times like these? “Sapa must be confused too.”
“What are you talking about? In the meantime, if I went and worked on the front line, both Master and Hao Wen-ju would be covered in sparks, but I would be far, far, far away. “We need to stay patient until this situation is roughly resolved and the rumors die down.”
‘Ah… something like that.’
Just like an idol who had an accident, it seems like this floor also needs time for self-reflection.
“Once I build a new network of officials and it is well established, I will call you then~”
Sima Xuan looked rather happy.
If you think about it, it’s just an extension of the escort service, but it’s actually a vacation.
In addition, if you return to Baekrin Uigak, you can meet your younger sister, Sima Hye.
“Then it’s good for me. Even if that wasn’t the case, I still have a lot to teach you.”
“Hmm?”
“okay. “There is that too.”
“A strange game like jigsaw puzzles?”
“Um… I can do it if I need to, but anyway.”
Now that Sima Xuan’s accomplishments in Heavenly Transformation Sword Mangong have increased, something is needed to back it up.
He’s not the kind of guy who loses his ego that easily, but I’m still worried that he tried to follow Yeo Ha-ryun, who is a saint.
‘He’s very accomplished for his age. That’s the problem.’
Sima Hyun doesn’t know how talented he is.
So the two arrived at Baekrin Uigak.
When Jin Cheon-hee arrived, the people of Uigak came to welcome her.
“Lord Incinerator, are you here!”
“Oh my gosh, these people come in. “There’s a lot of work to do, so why did so many people show up?”
What Jin Cheon-hee did also reached the ears of the members of the Baeklin Council.
In particular, lawmakers whose hometown was Nanjing welcomed Jin Cheon-hee as if they were a noble person.
“I came here once because I thought I would forget Lord Incinerator’s face. “Don’t misunderstand.”
“Well, it’s better to just say you’re happy to meet you. one.”
We grumbled with each other, but the gifts that were exchanged were still the right thing to do.
“It looks like Master and Director Yu haven’t returned yet.”
“Oh my. Don’t even talk. “You’ve been on a business trip for so long that I’ve already forgotten your face.”
Wahahaha!
The council members burst into laughter.
After chatting briefly, they each dispersed to take care of their own patients.
Jin Tianxi headed to his room with Sima Xuan.
“My whole body aches from coming. “Let’s unpack and eat something delicious.”
As I was patting his shoulder, Sima Hye heard that Jin Cheonhee had returned and came inside.
“Eun-gong! Wow, it’s been a long time. Did you have a good time? Now that I think about it, my brother has come again. “It’s been so long since we last met that you came again~ Is it because of Eungong?”
Sima Hyeon asked back.
“Hey Hye. What are you talking about?”
“What are you talking about? “You came three days ago, stayed with me for two days, and then returned yesterday.”
“…!?”
Jin Cheon-hee’s eyes widen. However, Sima Xuan’s expression did not change.
“Oh, I see. okay. huh. “I came back because I had work to do.”
Calm facial expression and tone of voice.
Sima Hyeon acted specially so as not to convey this embarrassment to Sima Hui.
She was so calm that even her younger sister, Sima Hye, was fooled and nodded.
“Oh, that’s right. Then I have to go to the doctor. “Oppa, see you later~”
After saying that, Sima Hye hurried out.
Sima Hyeon, not Sima Hyeon, that Sima Hui met.
To say it was just simple acting meant that it was so natural that even my own younger brother couldn’t recognize it.
Sima Hyeon smiled brightly.
“How did this happen? Who dared imitate me?”
“….”
Jin Tianxi looked at Sima Xuan’s back with a serious expression.
It was the sound of hell coming and going.
