Episode 202
‘It seems like only yesterday when I was amazed that even the shamans had a lot of money… Ugh… These Safa bastards make dirty money and make handkerchiefs with these precious items.’
When I calculated how many white phosphorus tablets I could buy with the money I paid for this, I was really craving it.
“Now that I think about it, I heard a rumor that Sapa was also invited to this Yongbong branch meeting. I guess it was true.”
“huh. Even the leaders of Sapa are wondering what is going on. “I came here on behalf of my master, the Golden King. I’m not interested, but I hope there’s a place where I can make money.”
“A corner where you can make money?”
“brother. “Don’t you know how much people from political factions use black spots?”
‘know. I know.’
Political factions are ultimately made up of people.
No matter how much you move for a good reason, you will need a place to handle things that cannot be said to the outside world.
“Well, it’s really unfortunate what happened to the shamans, but it’s a great thing that they were able to stop it. “I heard that my brother fell there.”
Of course you know.
Sima Hyeon continued.
“What on earth do you think of your body? “You have no idea how much this girl wets the bed with tears every night because of Gaga~”
As she said that, she put on the voice of the girl from before.
Jin Cheon-hee got goosebumps.
“Ah, you’ve stiffened again.”
“I told you not to do it.”
“Hehehe. But it’s fun to look at him with a straight face~”
Sima Hyun’s size is bigger than average, although not as big as Tianyu’s.
A black man.
And I can’t help but laugh at the fact that this guy, who knows how to grab the head of the person in front of him and crush it with just the strength of his hands, is making fun of him like this.
“Then I’m saying this because I really don’t think I can survive the expulsion. What on earth does he think he is? The three gods ahead of Uhwadeungseon? “If Samjon lives like his brother, his life will be short, right~?”
“….”
Jin Cheonhee looks away and sighs softly.
Sima Hyeon narrows his eyes and looks at his brother’s profile.
Soon, Sima Xuan took something out of his arms.
It was a folded cloth.
It’s so thin that it increases in size every time you unfold it, which is scary.
“what’s this?”
“Cheonjamsa Temple.”
Cool….
“…if you’re going to cough, wipe it with the handkerchief I gave you.”
Jin Cheonhee quickly covered her mouth.
I couldn’t bear to do that to Baekjamsa.
Wipe it with your sleeve.
“Even though it’s this thin, it’s quite large, and it’s also very sturdy because it was made by a skilled craftsman.” “
…What are you going to do with this?”
“Make me some gloves. As you know, due to my martial arts nature, I have no choice but to keep using my hands, right? “I am confident that I can tear and crush things, but how sad would it be if my beautiful hands were to get damaged?”
He himself calls his hands beautiful hands.
Nevertheless, his attitude was so confident that Jin Cheon-hee unconsciously said, ‘Okay. ‘Your hands are really pretty,’ he replied.
This was a miracle.
The hippocampus in Jin Cheon-hee’s brain was in the middle of a screening of the original film How Sima Hyun ripped off the skin of a person’s face.
“And what’s left is your gloves.”
“…You’re giving me Cheonjamsa? “Murim Gibo?”
I’m even afraid to ask how I got this.
The opponent is a black spot. black spot.
Still, I have to ask.
“How did you get this? “Even the royal family can’t save Cheonjamsa, right?”
“A friend of a friend gave it to me~”
… When I asked Samjeolchuho how he learned so much information about the shaman faction so quickly, he answered that a ‘friend of a friend’ told him.
What on earth is a ‘friend of a friend’ in Sapa?
“….”
“Don’t worry, it’s not a valuable item. “Hyung~ I washed it well without any problems.”
I decided not to ask how it was ‘washed’.
Sima Hyun said.
“With this, I can protect my beautiful hands and also protect my brother’s precious hands. Hands are important in breaking, right? is not it?”
Hands are important when it comes to breaking things.
As with any job, the more difficult the surgery, the more sensitive the fingertips had to be.
Because the patient’s life was at stake with that one thing.
At those words, Jin Cheonhee looked down at the back of her hand.
There is still a scar on the back of my hand. And my wrist, which was injured during the last blood test, still feels cold when it rains.
‘It makes it impossible to refuse.’
He doesn’t hesitate to give things away.
I was planning on getting it anyway, but Sima Hyun was more meticulous than I thought.
‘How far did this guy’s investigation go?’
In any case, Jin Cheon-hee’s weakness is now in his hands.
Gloves made of Cheonjamsa were items that accurately filled that need.
* * *
I folded the Cheonjamsa again and put it in my bosom.
The wide fabric was so thin that I couldn’t even feel it was in my arms.
‘How do I make gloves with this?’
No matter how much Cheonjamsa is able to repel sword energy without striking a sword, if it were cloth, it would be woven with warp and weft threads.
I think you can just insert a needle into the gap and sew it up.
The problem is how to cut the fabric to make gloves.
If you ask Sima Xuan, you would have to have the experts of the Four Schools cut it down, but it would be a bit difficult to rely on that.
‘Is this at least a medical exam?’
If that’s the case, you could ask your teacher for it.
The teacher’s personality is such that his disciple would come running in socks when he said he would wear Cheonjamsa gloves.
After thinking about that, the two went outside.
Now that we’ve talked about what we’ve missed, it’s time to eat something delicious.
“brother. “Here, I like to choose street food and eat it in several pieces.”
“okay?”
“Of course~ This street stall is so famous. “Just find a nice nightstand and eat there.”
“Which one do you think is delicious?”
Hearing Jin Tianxi’s words, Sima Xuan quickly began to recite the street verse.
“The Cheonsan street stall is the best when it comes to spicy raw fish meat. Lily soup is from Sasano branch. When it comes to grilled skewers, Seongseong and Manbaek stalls are the best. “For noodles, Cheongchang Street is famous for Dosakmyeon.”
“How do you know so well?”
“brother. Hahaha street vendors don’t pay taxes. “They didn’t even report it to the government office.”
Right. You don’t pay taxes.
If so, it was obvious that this also involved some of Geumhyeolbang’s funds and manpower.
“Oh, but hygiene management is pretty thorough? “Master, how much importance is placed on eating.”
What on earth is the Golden King?
What is this guy doing?
The more I listen to him, the more I don’t understand him.
‘Still, I’m so glad that Sima Hyeon takes good care of us.’
Rather than growing up under a strange madou, it would be much safer and more advantageous to grow up under a golden king.
A place where you can make money just by breathing.
I wish I could live leisurely.
Sima Hyun walked with Jin Tianxi, bought food from a street vendor, ate it, and analyzed sales.
“Oh, they use expensive chicken here. Where did you get it from? But if you sell it at this price, the margin is okay…me?”
Or he also said this.
“Brother, that is the best position in the Murim Alliance. “The stall that lasted there for a year used that money to set up a restaurant in Luoyang.”
“So everyone will want to do it?”
“yes. So a thing called rights money was created. “It’s kind of like a seat fee, but even at the same stall, it costs more than most small restaurants to occupy that seat.”
“If I spend the key money like that, I should sell it well.”
“huh. We have to make up for the loss, so we have to sell relentlessly. If it doesn’t taste good, it will fail within a month. So, many of our friends are taking out a lot of loans.”
It’s scary.
“What happens if I can’t pay it back? Sell into slavery?”
Sima Hyun giggled at Jin Tianxi’s words.
“There was a time like that, but with the abolition of slavery under the imperial law, there is no longer enough to repay the loan.”
I never thought I would hear about the exploits of our twin majesties here.
“then?”
“Usually they were sent to work as oarsmen in salt fields or mines. “It’s not slavery, but it’s very similar to slavery… I made a few contracts like that.”
“Isn’t it illegal?”
“It’s not illegal, but something similar to breaking the law. Hahaha brother. They’re talking about big trouble. Geumhyeolbang does not commit any illegal activities. “Officially.”
The word ‘official’ behind it is quite annoying.
“You have a strange way of talking about old times, but what is it like these days?”
“I suddenly thought it was a waste, right? Cooking and selling it for money requires tremendous talent and skill, bro. “I wonder if such amazing people should work in the fishing and mining industries, which are not for their aptitude.”
You have a knack for talking about slavery in a very noble way.
“so?”
“This time, we decided to send it to a guesthouse or street vendor prepared by us. They teach skills there. What I’m talking about here is not just improving simple recipes, but also running the store, arranging interior fixtures, and even choosing the color of the dishes.”
“Are you helping me make money?”
“Hmm… Let’s pay off our debt by doing what we’re good at. “Isn’t it obvious that this will be more profitable?”
After hearing a detailed explanation from Sima Xuan, I realized that this was a concept that even modern people were familiar with.
‘Che… chain store?’
Since it is a midfielder, there are some lack of human rights, but it was quite novel that if you did well, there was a high possibility of repayment and earning additional money.
“The distribution of food materials can be handled by the top and the bureau under the sunjeom. There is hope of canceling the debt, so our delinquent workers will work hard without being told to do so. In the process, it will be peaceful without violence, kidnapping, threats, or injury. What a good thing. Management fees are going down.”
Right. It was certain that they would run away if they were sold as slaves or sent to salt farms or mines, so there had to be at least one person to monitor and manage them.
You will have to be someone who has learned martial arts and you will have to work in three shifts.
Still, it is clear that the slave will run away at the first opportunity, and the guard will have to run to catch the runaway slave, so what will he do with the lost opportunity cost?
Then, if a guard or a slave gets injured, their productivity will suffer.
Jin Cheonhee thought.
‘Well… long live your majesty for abolishing slavery.’
To be exact, it’s ‘Your Majesty’. Because you have twins.
Sima Hyun said.
“After coming here, I looked at the sunspots and couldn’t understand them. “There is something sweeter than drugs, so why do it?”
“what is that?”
“hope. “Humans are creatures that put their hands in a furnace with the hope that things will get better.”
That is how the modern and contemporary chain store system began in Jungwon.
In fact, civilians began to pay off the debt and take over the store as their own.
As for the stores that were earning so well, Sima Hyun had a gold dealer actively inform other chain store debtors(?).
They woke up early in the morning and went to work.
This would never have happened if it had been a salt farm or mine.
They worked for their children and their parents to support them, and used their wisdom to sell more.
In the original, Sima Xuan set the world on fire.
I thought about how to make this world more shitty and killed thousands of people without even blinking.
He also laughed and said that only death gives him rest in this hellish life.
‘I made a contract with Sima Hyeon to save his younger brother’s life and pay him back three favors.’
Although it was not his intention, he risked his life for Sima Xuan.
And that changed a lot.
