Episode 1059
[This is a salt farm! Despair]
Even after the salt farm was built, improvement and maintenance work remained.
‘This always happens when making new drugs.’
From improving the deterioration of flagstones caused by salt water to removing salt water.
‘This was supplemented with a heating method traditionally used in this region by mixing it with a heating method.’
Being able to determine the direction of the wind is quite a revolution.
Of course, for that to be possible, you need to have a spiritual connection and be geographically gifted, but it was worth doing here.
‘Compared to launching a new drug, it’s surprisingly worth doing.’
This was a battle of patience, and it was easily resolved with Muwol’s assistance.
‘In a way, Jinbeop is like a human being imitating a god.’
Like tying someone’s feet, sometimes showing illusions, or like this, determining the direction of wind and temperature.
The most common use is Feng Shui to ask for good luck.
If you can read heaven and earth, isn’t it like being a hermit that anyone can play with the harmony of heaven and earth?
‘Then is there a possibility that all humans can become gods? ‘This is really fun.’
Goosebumps –
When I thought about it, I got goosebumps for some reason.
Jin Cheon-hee swept his arm with his hand and spoke to Mu-wol.
“So, I see you don’t steal glass. “I even let Hwanggu smell it.”
“I sought advice from Mr. Tugoe regarding that, and he said that Kang Ho-in is in charge of managing the salt farm, and there is no place to take cover, and if you run while carrying that large object, you are likely to get a rock flying at your head, so it is bait that a thief should avoid. ”
“Is it this expensive?”
“yes. Above all… no.”
“?”
Muwol swallowed his words. Tugoi said this:
– Do you touch daylight objects? Wouldn’t it be better if it was a new recruit? Running with that big thing in terrain with nothing but salt pans?
When asked if it would be okay to cut it, Tuguoe said.
– Arthur. They probably don’t want to die either. No, even if you want to die, you don’t want to live with your power supply destroyed.
For some reason, I got goosebumps.
I decided not to tell you this.
Jin Cheon-hee said while looking at the ledger.
“I hope someone steals it anyway. I also wanted to investigate how the stolen goods flow in this area, but was the bait too big? “I need to cut it a little to get it to come out.”
Tilt.
‘I wonder if this person is a genius, but at times like this, he is more foolish than a three-year-old child.’
Muwol decided to pretend he didn’t know.
After building the salt farm, everything from now on was smooth sailing.
Production was guaranteed, and of course Baekrin’s salt was sold throughout Jiangsu Province.
First of all, the price is twice as cheap as the rock salt that was originally distributed!
In this era when quantity is more important than quality, it was a more powerful strategy than anything else, and of course, not only salt retail stores but also large-scale restaurants began to trade.
‘Yeomsang doesn’t need tradition.’
In reality, it is different from trading with Huaju Pavilion because Baeklin Uigak has a higher chance of healing, but it is Hwaju Pavilion that has been transacted with for generations.
In this era, medicine is a kind of life-saving silver, but salt is gold.
‘Hmm, is it a dream that currency exchange can happen so quickly?’
Even if you farm, you have to wait a year, and if you make a new drug, it takes three or four years for it to be verified, but when you make salt, it sells.
Praise! NaCl! (feat. Sodium chloride)
We made such a new leap forward, but wouldn’t sales of salt start to decrease at some point?
‘weird?’
It is unlikely that in this era, wellness was popular and there was a Himalayan natural salt boom and sea salt became Nagari. It was definitely a strange thing.
Then I read the report.
‘Cheaper salt than Baekrin Uigak salt is being sold?’
Even this one is sea salt.
Is this possible?
‘Is it possible to make salt with cheaper labor costs than using the Jin method?’
It’s not just a straight line.
Didn’t Hyeonkyung even make heat-resistant tempered glass so that it could be collected whether it was raining or snowing?
Even after looking at Hyeonwonjeondansingong, I couldn’t think of a way to get a better unit price.
so.
Jin Cheon-hee decided to go straight to the salt merchant.
‘This time I’ll go alone.’
Wow!
Beep!
no. Hwanggu and concussion diagram.
These guys who can’t stop eating food prepared by Jin Cheon-hee have now become unable to be satisfied with restaurant food.
“Oh, it’s not wheat salt. “It’s just salt purchased legally.”
“…okay.”
Looking at the certificate and the title, it appears that the award has been properly recognized by the government.
“So… then can you tell me the location of the salt farm?”
“Ah, it’s not difficult.”
Is this a place that surpasses the methods of the Zhuge family?
Or did they also set up something with Hyeon-kyung’s power?
At this point, purely academic curiosity began to arise.
‘Oh, I want to learn if I can.’
If that were possible, humanity would be able to enjoy salt at a cheaper price.
Salt is not only for eating, but it also disinfects wounds and prevents decay.
If that is possible, we can get closer to human health.
‘The location is… Yeodong County, Jiangsu Province.’
Since it is an area outside Baekrin-gun, it is not under Jin Cheon-hee’s jurisdiction.
However, since they are in the same Jiangsu Province, they are quite close.
“Hwanggu, maybe I’ll see a new technology of humanity here that I didn’t even know about.”
Cheopcheopcheop!
Hwang-gu licked Jin Cheon-hee’s hand.
The dog is happy.
Watching humans get excited, dogs naturally get excited too.
Hehehehehe!
“Hwanggu, now, wait a minute!”
This huge thing is forcibly stopped from standing on its own two feet.
The concussion beeped as if to stop, and only then did the excitement calm down.
The dog wants to run.
I ran a lot earlier, but I wanted to keep running.
In the end, Jin Cheon-hee quickly ran across the plain with Hwanggu.
If you go a little further, you will arrive at the salt farm.
Perhaps there is a new technology there that Jin Cheon-hee does not know about, and if it is applied well, people may be able to buy salt cheaper.
And there.
Jin Cheon-hee finally arrived.
That place….
[This is a salt farm! This was the opportunity to write Despair.
* * *
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
Children were working in the hot sun.
The price of children is much lower than that of adults, and even if they collapse and die, there is no need to pay much compensation.
If it’s not just simple field farming, but a house that has sold its child to a salt farm like this, they don’t care if the child is alive or dead.
One child eventually collapses, unable to withstand the scorching sun
.
My age is seven or eight.
Jin Cheon-hee hurriedly hugged the child and was exhausted.
‘Is it extreme dehydration?’
On top of that, I was tired and hungry.
Jin Cheon-hee hurriedly sends Jin-ki to the child and at the same time takes out a bamboo bucket and slowly feeds the child water.
Gulp-
“Are you okay?”
“….”
The child is speechless.
“Aww! ah!”
Eventually the child spoke.
It was more like a clumsy imitation of mouth shapes rather than words.
Then, seeing the child expressing gratitude with his hands as if he was frustrated, I measured the child more thoroughly this time.
Only then did Jin Cheon-hee realize that this child was deaf.
‘Did they sell a disabled child to salt fields?’
Looking at his ankles, he didn’t seem to be a slave.
It is said that public slaves have almost dried up, and you probably don’t know what kind of punishment the emperor will give you if you illegally use private slaves.
‘There must have been a contract. The wages of these children must have been paid in advance.’
Of course, the price is ridiculously low.
However, the problem is that the wages go directly into the parents’ pockets, not the children’s pockets.
I was able to figure out how this salt farm works just by looking around.
He muttered unconsciously.
“Is this hell?…”
Children are working.
We wonder what children can do that adults cannot do, but considering that there is a history of making children work in coal mines, cotton fields, and coffee farms, humans have done everything for money.
‘We’re still making it…’
Even now, humanity spends its days drinking coffee made by children, holding glasses made by children.
‘Still, it has improved a lot compared to the past.’
At least I realized that it was wrong and that it would be shameful when it was revealed.
But even this tends to keep walking backwards.
Even at this moment, humanity is moving forward with the blood of someone who has become enlightened. Sometimes, we are held back by someone else’s plan.
No one knows where humanity will end up in this push-and-push fight.
However, this is a place where progress has not even begun.
A place where I haven’t even understood the reason to move forward yet.
In salt farms, in order to produce salt and to dry seawater quickly, the seawater in the salt farm must be continuously turned over with a long, flat, wide shovel.
As the water dries, the salt that forms must be collected to one side.
Truly hard labor.
The children are doing it silently.
Children who are deaf, children who have difficulty speaking, and children who do not have disabilities but came here through their parents’ choice are working diligently.
Some people received their food late and were eating in a corner.
White dough with salt.
It was something that was neither rice cake nor bread.
It would be more accurate to say swallowing rather than eating.
‘I… thought these things could be solved with technology.’
There is no need to overturn the salt pan made by Jin Cheon-hee because Jinbeop continuously boils it.
All you have to do is pour water, boil it, pour water again, boil it, and repeat.
Even the process of pouring water was made to continuously raise it using the power of the wind.
Even the wind can control its direction by using the method of formation, and then eventually simmers down due to the heat.
A structure in which salt continues to accumulate.
If you scoop up that salt and put it in, that’s it.
‘I… thought that when technology liberates people from labor and salt becomes cheaper, this kind of thing will naturally disappear…’
Is that possible?
They too will suffer a blow if they are pushed out by Jin Cheon-hee’s cheap salt.
Since what we sell is salt, even if the business is unlikely to go bankrupt, we still won’t be able to make as much as before.
Survival is a human instinct, and money is directly related to survival.
And the salt farm owner already had room to do it cheaper.
They were already using the cheapest workers in the world, and since they were not slaves, it was legal.
The children’s faces did not shine.
He looked like an adult and his complexion looked worse than that of an adult.
Everyone lived their day.
I looked down on humans.
No, I underestimated the human obsession with money.
Even without blood missions, humans can create hell with money.
Blood missions are just one of many evil intentions.
He could not become a representative of evil.
‘We have to stop it.’
Aren’t you an adult?
Technology has been defeated by human malice. This is not the time to get drunk on self-pity.
Even at this very moment, aren’t the kids here still being abused?
Whether it was out of jurisdiction or technology was defeated by desire, something had to be done.
‘What I saw was idealism. I just believed that by incorporating Earth’s technology, the world would change dramatically.’
Absurd idealism in full color.
The vague optimism of earthlings.
In reality, it has such a heavy texture.
Even though I remember how hard it was to sell the soap, I vaguely thought that everything would be fine.
‘okay. I know. okay.’
Despair is close and hope is always far away.
Adults wake up.
Jin Cheon-hee happened to find the guy who was supervising the kids from afar.
‘That guy…?’
It was not difficult to recognize him as he was unusually tall among all the short ones.
He was getting angry at the small child who was only around his waist, asking why he was doing things like that.
By the time Jin Cheon-hee arrived at Gyeonggong, he was about to hit him with his fist.
“You idiot!”
widely!
“hmm?”
Even if you try to swing your fist, it won’t move forward.
Surprised, he turned around to see a handsome man who looked as if he were a celestial being there, holding him.
“Hi!?”
Looking at him holding on with his slender arms, he looks like a strong man.
But this is also Kang Ho-in.
No matter how strong the opponent is, it would be different if he, who is boneless, gave him a little more strength.
The moment I thought arrogantly, Jin Cheon-hee twisted it with her power.
Crunch, clap, clap –
his arms gain rotational force, and his body instantly leaps backwards.
Quang!
“Ugh.”
What kind of famous master is he that can subdue people with the art of fighting with just one finger?
It’s astounding how far the difference is.
At that time, a dog appears in my field of vision.
Growl – A
huge dog the size of an ox shows its teeth and growls.
When I turned my head and looked up, I saw a bird sitting on the man’s head.
‘Stand, stand, stand, no way! ‘This, this, this sunlight?!’
It’s not under my jurisdiction, so why does the sunlight come out all the way here?
Even so, you don’t know how upset the higher-ups are because they started selling salt there.
Surprisingly, Daylight was smiling.
“…Would you rather beat a child on this hot day?”
Why?
His mouth was smiling, but his blue eyes were extremely cold.
Creepy –
Il-gwang didn’t even ask what the child had done wrong. Just look.
“Ah ah, Ilgwang Daegyeop! Oh no! “Let’s meet the Great Hyeop of the Byeok-Ansin!”
I couldn’t bear to call him Governor Jin.
For some reason, I had a feeling that if I called him that, there would be no turning back.
“Let’s stop making the children work immediately.”
Crumbling –
The dog doesn’t know why his owner is angry.
But since the butler was angry, he was also angry.
I’m working hard to make it known.
Normally, Jin Cheon-hee would have stopped him, but he didn’t do it this time.
This means that the butler is angry!
Then, that person is definitely bad!
Hwanggu thought.
Butler, give the order quickly! So I can bite that guy!
Dogs don’t know good and evil.
I just think that anyone who offends our butler deserves to die.
And that guy is weak.
Although he is strong, he is weak.
Crrrrr-!
“Of course!” “If it is the words of the Lord of the Walls, we must follow them immediately!”
The spinal cord responded before the brain.
It is also because of Sapa’s unique survival instinct that if he resists here, he will go to hell.
On the other hand, Jin Cheonhee thought.
‘Whew… I tried to use it to increase my business when there was resistance, but I guess it’s the typical strong-weak-weak-weak strategy.’
If so, that’s fine.
All you have to do is move this side accordingly.
“I heard the owner here is Wooil. Please guide me.”
“Yes, yes!”
The supervisor rang the bell while observing Jin Cheon-hee’s feelings.
Dang-dang-dang-
With that as a signal, the children stopped their work and came rushing over. the supervisor shouted.
“Everyone, go to your dorm!”
At those words, the children just nod their heads and leave without asking why.
‘There are no children chatting…’
That means they are already too accustomed to this kind of abuse.
Suddenly, a child looked at Hwanggu.
“Do you want to eat this?”
White bread crumbs.
It was a bread that had turned gray and wrinkled due to how long it had been stored.
Hwanggu is a gourmet. My mouth grew high at the snack given by the world’s top ten hostess. Normally, I wouldn’t have even put the tip of my tongue to it.
Wow!
But why?
Hwanggu ate a piece of bread and wagged his tail.
“Hehehehe!”
Even if the child strokes or pulls his cheek, he happily accepts it.
Then suddenly, Jin Cheon-hee realized.
One of the child’s cheeks and earlobes were stained purple.
Traces of being hit.
I hugged Hwanggu with my missing fingernails.
“It’s so big and so cute!”
As the child shouted, other children also quietly walked over.
“Wow, this is no joke!”
One child’s hair had fallen out to the point where the scalp was visible, and the other child’s eyelids were swollen and one of his eyes was not visible.
Children are quick to notice.
The supervisor seems to have noticed that he can’t hit him now and approaches Hwang-gu.
“Bukseulbukseul bukbukbukbuk!”
The children had the happiest faces in the world and smiled at even a dog.
Wow!
Hwang-gu licked the children.
Even gold and silver treasures don’t matter. There is no need for extravagant toys that only the royal family use.
The kids finished work early today and were happy as if they had everything in the world just because the dog was cute.
“Wow!”
But Jin Cheon-hee was looking at the children with eyes that had seen hell.
No, this is hell. And then look at the supervisor.
“….”
Among the happy children,
the adults who were with them.
The supervisor began to feel numb when he saw Jin Cheon-hee’s gaze.
‘Why the fuck!’
Surprisingly, the congressman was smiling even at this moment.
It’s just that my eyes are cold and unfocused.
Creepy –
The supervisor’s instincts are screaming at him to run away from the handsome young man in front of him. As far away as possible.
But where?
‘If it’s like this, the head of the family will do something! Somehow!’
Crackling –
The supervisor gritted his molars in unknown fear.
