Episode 499
For a few days, Jin Cheon-hee was busy cleaning up various things.
Master showed the inspector of the imperial palace the materials on smallpox prevention and told him that he should go up to the palace with the inspector.
“I will go to the palace, so you can stay back in the palace.”
“The imperial palace?”
Master calmly responded to Jin Cheonhee’s words.
“Preventing smallpox is eliminating one of the world’s worries. There is no other way to call it Cheonhyeong. You have done it. So there’s no way the imperial palace won’t confirm this.”
“Well, the inspector general alone is not enough.”
“Hahaha, while I’m on my way, I’m thinking of laying down some paving stones needed for future work.”
Even though the bamboo that Master has already made is this big. The Master is still preoccupied with protecting his disciple.
Still, the teacher sighed as he looked at his student who was worried.
“You are the only one who cares about me this much. “No, I sent you to clear out a group of black swords before that, and I wonder if you’re in a position to worry about others while you’re fighting against small spears.”
“Ugh, Master.”
That’s right. Jin Cheon-hee said.
“Are you going with General Yu?”
“Why do you trust Yuho so much?”
“yes. Because it’s winter. “If I am not with you, I hope that General Yoo will be with you.”
Behind Jegalin, Yu Hao looks at Jin Tianhui with a sour expression.
“….”
The graduate student who can’t get off work wants to beat up this bastard.
Jin Cheon-hee spoke with clear, mad eyes.
“I love you Yuho.”
When a professor said he loved a graduate student, something terrible usually happened.
“…Please shut your mouth.”
“I’m serious. “Please take care of Master Yuho.”
“Ha damn it.”
Yuho swore and replied that even if it wasn’t your request, I would protect my master anyway.
It was something I was grateful for.
So, Master headed to the imperial palace with the inspector.
In addition to the guards sent from the palace, a portion of the Baeklindae also moved along.
After the two people left, Hangzhou Bunta somehow seemed empty.
‘I have to move now too.’
I don’t plan on calling Sima Hye right away.
After going to the headquarters and taking care of this and that, I will call Sima Hye and begin the full-scale training process.
As I was packing my bags, Sima Hyeon came towards my brother.
“brother. busy?”
“Uhm, I’m not busy right now. “The work in Hangzhou is finished.”
“Oh, thank goodness. “Then will you help me?”
It was extremely rare for Hyun to ask for help first.
Jin Cheon-hee asked somewhat seriously.
“What’s going on?”
“Master is taking a test.”
“Test of the Golden King?”
Sima Hyeon nods his head at those words.
The earrings swayed with his movements, making a colorful sound.
It occurred to me that this seeming love of luxury might also be a sophisticated strategy.
Sima Hyeon from the original Supreme Heavenly Demon was not dressed like this.
Usually, people lived by stealing other people’s lives.
The skin of the face, the clothes the owner likes to wear, the accessories he likes to wear, and even his taste in eating were like that.
He took pleasure in ruining the lives of others around him, like tearing open a chicken breast.
What is Sima County today?
“What are you thinking, bro?”
“I think earrings are flashy.”
“Would you like one?”
“it’s okay. “It’s inconvenient.”
Sima Hyeon giggled playfully at his brother’s words.
Then he got to the point.
“I don’t know what happened, but Master also said that he would like to clearly decide on a successor. So, we are conducting a test.”
The Golden King steps forward and selects a successor? This was a story that wasn’t in the original.
Sima Hyeon continued.
“Of course, there is no need to kill each other like the Demonic Cult. Because money is the most important thing to us. Uh… But in the end, it may be like that, but that’s not the point.”
“then?”
“It’s about making money. “By any means necessary.”
Ah, so there is no need to die or kill, but the conclusion is that it can happen.
This means that if I don’t earn enough, it’s okay to kill those who earn more than me and extort their wealth.
‘Wow, I’m crazy.’
It is a different form of ruthlessness than the Heavenly Demon.
The golden king is the one who reigns over money.
There is no way she doesn’t know that the best ingredient for gold is human blood.
So, it would have been said, ‘Do not choose any means or method.’
“He’s like a golden king.”
“Right~?”
Golden King.
In the original, when Sima Hyun and Yeo Ha-ryun were fighting, he was a resourceful person who only took money in the middle.
Even in the original work, her life and death were not revealed properly until the end.
When I think about it from the reader’s perspective… I think he was probably alive.
But at that time, she did not choose a successor.
The Geumhyeolbang was still hers, and she didn’t seem to have any particular expectations for the successor.
It was not even revealed until the end what he was accumulating so much wealth for.
Even where the money is spent.
“So how do you make money?”
“Master gave each of us 5,000 nyang of gold. “The one who collects the most money and returns it to the teacher within a year wins.”
“Hoo.”
“Surprisingly, it’s a traditional event at Geumhyeolbang? In the past, the teacher said that the principal amount was increased six times during this test~”
“You turned 5,000 nyang of gold into 30,000 nyang in just one year?!”
No, in this world where there are no stocks, does that happen…?
When Jin Cheon-hee opened her eyes wide in surprise, Sima Hyeon giggled and gave the correct answer.
“He set fire to another competitor’s mulberry field and then monopolized the silkworms. He could have made ten times more, but the government at the time intervened and could not have profited further.”
There is no blood or tears.
If the story hadn’t come out of the coffin, it would have been more squeezed out.
“Hyun, what are you going to do?”
“Hmm, I have a lot of ideas, but I wanted to ask you if you have any good ideas. “You come up with a lot of amazing things, right?”
“Oh, I’m a member of the National Assembly, so do you understand that? Maybe it would be better to develop new drugs. Hey, but new drugs don’t come out just like that. No one knows whether it will take a year or ten years. “It’s our job to just hit the ground.”
“Ah~ You made the sapphire and red jade, and you made the ondol too, right?”
For some reason, those words gave me a strange feeling.
It was no exaggeration to say that this was an intuition that only people living their second life could have.
‘For some reason, I have the feeling that this will be an important crossroads that will decide Sima Hyeon’s life.’
My intuition struck me in the back of the head, and only then did the logic circuit move according to that intuition.
1. I don’t think this guy will come because he doesn’t know how to make money.
2. The Golden King said that there was no need to choose any means or method.
3. If you are in trouble, there is a way to rip off the skin on your face, and in the original, Sima Hyun did it well.
4. The Golden King once destroyed the market economy by burning a mulberry tree field.
5. However, when performing any of numbers 3 and 4. My brother and Hye-ah will hate it so much.
…Right. Logical.
Did this guy come here as a last resort?
If you don’t come up with an idea like this, you could spend a year plundering people’s faces and lives and playing with them like the original, or you could completely ruin the market economy and send the common people to their knees.
‘Both are original histories. this!’
Even though history has prevented it to some extent, it seems to return to its original state if we let our guard down like this.
‘If we want to resolve the matter peacefully, we have to work hard…’
said Sima Hyun.
“Oh bro. I will tell you in advance that I will never borrow 30,000 nyang from my brother. “Because that’s meaningless.”
…hmm. ‘Show me the money’ is blocked. These days’ generation is a ‘motherload’. Is that outdated now?
“First of all… I think I’ll need some time.”
“It’s okay~ bro. We have a lot of time~ I’m so thankful just for thinking together~ Let’s hang out together for a bit in my hometown and continue to think about it~” “
Okay. “Let’s think about it together, then I guess I’ll have to delay my return.”
Jin Cheon-hee wrote a letter to the main office.
It was an e-mail saying that something had come up and I would be leaving a little late.
For some reason, I feel like the kids in the lab are going to have a party.
* * *
This is how to make money.
[There is already a guy who has achieved six times the amount.]
[By what means?]
[That guy’s parents liquidated the entire top and cashed it out.]
[…Wow… It’s dangerous.]
[I risked everything . . Because the position of the Golden King is worth it.]
The Golden King’s disciples live in quite a variety of positions.
[There is also a guy from the black island. He’s using all that money to buy ronins.]
[Hmm… it’s clear what he wants to do.]
[If you’re going to use the sword anyway, there’s no need to go that far. That’s foolish.]
Despite the bloody war, Sima Xuan smiled softly on the outside and handed Sima Hui an accessory.
“How about this?”
“Do you think I’m still a child?”
“Hmm. “So what’s trendy these days?”
It wasn’t Sima Hyeon who didn’t know what was trendy these days. What I’m curious about is what Hye-ah likes.
Sima Hui picked up another accessory from the stall.
I don’t know if it could be called an accessory, but it was.
“Shuriken… It’s a hairpin.”
“huh. This is popular these days. “It’s also good for self-defense.”
On the shuriken, the words [Sacheondangmun Hyeoppyeon King] are written in red letters.
Wow, I didn’t know this either.
In this day and age, it seems unlikely that they will sell it even with a license, so Dang-Ah probably doesn’t know how his name is being sold in faraway Hangzhou.
Looking around, I saw a line of dark accessories similar to the mask worn by Danga.
Sima Xuan asked.
“Do you know how to use a shuriken?”
“What are you looking at me for? “I learned the basics from Baekhwanhu.”
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“In Gangho, even lawmakers have to take care of their own bodies. Of course I taught it.”
Sima Xuan smiled bitterly.
“That’s a good thing.”
[Hye-ah is stronger than you think. He’s a much stronger kid.]
[Still, I don’t want you to know about this Golden King’s test. How could anyone know what was going to happen? Everyone had their eyes lit up.]
That’s right.
No matter how much she can protect herself, she is a congressman, not Kang Ho-in.
It would be foolish to expose yourself to risk at this stage, even after passing the exam.
‘I think one of my younger brothers is terrible.’
Still, there is one fortunate thing.
Hangzhou is the hometown of Sima County and is now the territory of Bai Lin’s Pavilion.
[Still, isn’t cross-dressing too much?]
[Gaga~ Hye-ah also says she’s happy because she feels like she has a sister~]
Sure enough.
Sima Hui was holding Tang’er’s shuriken hairpin and holding it to Sima Xuan.
“Wow, you look good on me.”
“so? Should I do one too? Please give me two of the same thing! no. three!”
‘You want me to do it too?’
