Episode 502
After making a prototype, the craftsmen seemed to have gotten used to it and began producing mirrors at a rapid pace.
Sima Xuan also created a mirror with a giant golden calf and a golden pig decorating the corners.
In order to survive, they send it to the Golden King as a gift.
‘I’ve felt it before, but their relationship with priests is not normal.’
While I was running the mirror workshop in earnest, a customer came.
“Lord Soju, someone from Gongsong Street has arrived.”
It was a woman wearing black clothes and covering her face with black cotton thread.
She didn’t reveal who she was, but she could immediately identify it by looking at Gongsun Yong and Wang Keoyeon standing behind her.
Nevertheless, it seems that the reason Man-seon does not reveal his name is because he respects his wishes.
“Long time no see.”
“Yes, it’s been a while.”
She frowned with a hard face.
“I will speak bluntly. “I came to look in the mirror.”
Sima Xuan smiled slyly.
“It’s a mirror~”
“There’s no need to tell me what kind of mirror it is, right?”
Right.
There has been a long-standing relationship of mutual assistance with the Gongsun family.
There is no need to go back to the training after the last war, and it has been going on since the time of Cheongok.
If he had that level of skill, he would naturally have thought that he would first find a Gongsong family that had been doing business with him for a long time, or at least go to Tangmun.
However, since he was training in earnest with Sima Hyeon, a Jinhyeolbang, rather than a Gongsun family, it seemed like he had come to visit in person.
Thanks to this, fire sparkles in the eyes of Gongsun Xuan and Sima Xuan.
Pajik –
Both are people who have been doing business with light and shadow.
They are very curious about new things and have a strong obsession with money.
“I’ll show you the item first.”
Neither Gongsun Xuan nor Sima Xuan would have an emotional battle over something like this.
However, he must have come to find out Jin Cheon-hee’s thoughts in order to see the future situation.
‘Hehe… I didn’t know you would come in person though.’
First of all, the production method is a secret.
This is because Sima Xuan’s life depends on it.
Instead, you can show as much as you want as long as it is a finished product.
Gongsunhyeon was called to the mirror covered with cloth.
“Let’s take it off first.”
She peeled off the cloth with trembling hands. Then there was a huge mirror that perfectly reflected her face.
“….”
After looking at the mirror for a while, Gongsunhyeon reaches out his hand and traces his fingerprints on the mirror.
Finally, he opened his mouth.
“It’s glass.”
“yes.”
“Usually glass doesn’t offer great price/performance ratio, so I thought other materials would be better. “This is…”
Gongsunhyeon closed his eyes and was lost in thought.
Finally, he opened his mouth.
“I don’t know what kind of trick they used, but I’m sure we will never be worse than Geumhyeolbang.”
“Wow, that’s too much. “Do you know how many of the Gongsun family’s servants borrowed money from us?”
stop. Stop fighting!
Jin Cheonhee spoke quickly.
“I had to help Sima Hyeon, so I decided to help him as an older brother.”
“It’s probably because of the Golden King’s test.”
“…You know.”
“yes. Even if that’s not the case, people like me who are quick on information already know and are trying to influence it in some way. “It is something that can control the dark money in the midfield.”
“….”
After being lost in thought, Gongsunhyeon opened his mouth.
“When I thought about Cheonmyeonhori’s nature, I had no idea that he would actually try to break through with this kind of straight attack method. “This is probably because of Lord Incinerator.”
“Hahaha….”
“The item is definitely good. This is a game changer. However, it won’t be easy. “There are many other ways in Sapa.”
“Thanks to you, I asked all the craftsmen to live in the accommodation behind Bunta until this work is finished. “The number of Baeklindae warriors has also increased.”
“That alone will not be enough.”
I guess… I guess.
There are people who use the 5,000 nyang of gold given by the Golden King as business funds, there are people who use it as gambling funds, and there are people who use it as war funds.
“With the power of Sima Xuan, I plan to sell them one by one to wealthy black people.”
Gongsunhyeon said.
“Then, let me try to sell it to the government officials.”
“Ah… I can’t pay much for the brokerage fee.”
Gongsunhyeon calmly answered those words.
“yes. I know. “I’ll do it for free this time.”
Sima Hyeon said those words.
“They say there is nothing in the world as expensive as free~”
“Yes. That’s right. The Gongsun family will help thousands of people for free, and they will definitely receive this favor someday. Would that be okay?”
‘Hmm…’
As the older brother, I thought about it, but from here on, it’s Sima Hyeon’s territory.
After all, he was the one who chose this path in the first place and the one who accepted this test.
The person whose life is at stake is Sima Hyeon himself.
Sima Hyeon opens his narrow eyes and becomes lost in thought. Before long, he laughed heartily.
“The Gongsun family is a prestigious political family, so I don’t think they will ask you to do something that is out of line. “I have to accept it~”
That was a subtle pressure to say that I would eat it because it was free, but I wouldn’t grant such a crazy request.
At those words, Gongsunhyeon also does not lose and smiles softly.
“Do not worry. The Gongsun family always pursues whiteness. “It’s different from Sapa.”
“Oh, I see. Thank you~”
“Yes. Do you really want to sell it like selling red jade? Of course, we will maintain the standard.”
“iced coffee. Red jade. Yes, you know how that red jade sells. I always give the profits to my brother. We are feeding many children after Baekhwan. “I’m sure the political faction would do something like this, right?”
That’s how we started training, supporting each other.
Jin Tianxi, Sima County, Gongsun County.
The three most money-crazed people in the river came together.
* * *
A place where members of the Jeonghoe, large and small, gather.
Han Yi-jeong is feeling exhausted just by being here.
Just because you don’t speak up doesn’t mean you’re sitting idle. In the end, you have to look at the opinions of the surrounding officials and His Majesty.
You should also pay attention to the admiral’s grandfather, who is sitting next to His Majesty, with his hands in his sleeves.
I heard it’s okay once you get used to it, but is it really possible to get used to it? What are you doing?
At least in terms of her years of experience, she doesn’t have much.
In this corner of hell, where just standing there feels like someone is sticking a pipe in your neck and sucking out your blood.
She feels like shit and can’t wait to get off work.
And I just pray to the gods of heaven and earth that my way home from work doesn’t overlap with my grandfather’s.
My younger brother, who got married in Wanong, hugged the pretty flower girl and said, ‘I miss you so much. I hate this world where people have to have arranged marriages. ‘I want to eat home-cooked food.’ He sends a whining letter, but according to intelligence, he is emptying two bowls of rice a day.
And at night, when we have a late-night snack, the flower girl plays wind music, creating a honeymoon atmosphere.
He won’t know.
Whose head did the older sister cut off to send her younger brother to marriage?
And what kind of contract did you make with your damn grandfather?
‘I want to go home… Gyaaaaaaaaa!’
I scream like a pterodactyl in my head and wait for it to end.
Even if you turn the sound of wind music as background music in the back of your head while listening to the arguments between the large and small officials, this will not be resolved.
A shitty affair in this shitty world.
‘Damn my country… Damn… Damn… Damn… F*ck… A plague…’
The background sound in my head changes from the calm sound of a flute to the violent sound of chilhyeongeum.
In my imagination, she is already waving a huge half-moon sword and cutting off this and that guy’s neck.
The first daughter is that bastard named Lee Bu Sang-seo.
‘They took away all the chicks that were raised well in Hobu with three appeal letters… That damn bastard… Search!’
I feel a bit refreshed when I imagine hitting the neck with my chin… It’s a bitch… Why doesn’t time pass like this?
‘Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah–! I want to get off work ahhh! Gyaaaaa!!’
“…So, the real product came up through Baekrin Uigak Incinerator.”
“Oooooh!”
Something large covered in cloth suddenly entered the center of Jeonghoe.
When the emperor tilted his head in curiosity, the coffin shook.
“Looking at its shape, it’s a mirror. Mirrors of that size are rare, but that alone isn’t enough to interest Jim, is it?”
My grandfather, who was the Vice Admiral, gave an order to the officers.
“What are you doing? “Go ahead and open it.”
When the silk cloth was lifted, what was revealed was the mirror itself, clear and spotless.
“hmm?”
The Emperor looks down into the mirror with a strange expression on his face.
Because the noon sunlight reflected in the mirror illuminated the wall.
“Something is different. “Come closer.”
As he waved his hand, the eunuchs brought the mirror further forward.
Only then did Han Yi-jeong, who had half come to his senses, say.
“I’m so sorry to hear this, but it looks really good. “This is my first time seeing a mirror so clearly.”
“Hoo. Indeed, it is so. “How does it look so clean?”
Each of the subjects made a guess.
“Looking at the material, it doesn’t look like silver or copper was used.”
“It looks like it’s glass.” “I wonder if glass can look this clean….”
Some of the subjects covered their faces.
Seeing my own face clean gave me a slightly different feeling.
If the mirror is a little hazy, things like ringworm or scars on your face will be less visible.
However, the problem was that when his face was clearly reflected, he looked uglier than he thought.
On the other hand, there were priests who straightened their backs and stared into the mirror as if they liked their own faces.
said the emperor.
“You created something really interesting.”
“That’s right.”
“Now that I think about it, what are the results of Baekrin’s inspection?”
Since he said this even though he had already received the report, it seems like he was trying to reward him.
Han Yi-jeong added Chuimsae.
“I heard that the first reports were all true and that they even found a way to remove the marks of smallpox.”
Of course, I know that that method is a bizarre method that uses Kang Ho-in’s sword skills.
When I first received the report, I looked at it for a while, wondering if I had read it properly.
Originally, the sword symbolizes the entire life of a warrior, and as the sword becomes a swordsman and a sword instructor, it becomes possible to get a glimpse of the warrior’s martial arts and blood path.
The shaman’s Taicheong Sansu performs yin and yang with a heavy and pure light, and the magician’s Cheonma Shingong depicts a path that deviates from the human way.
The Jegal clan contains the five elements, and the Namgung clan coils the power and transforms it into a sword.
Here was someone trying to peel the skin with it.
‘Grandfather said that for Baekrin Uigak’s Sogakju, martial arts are just a means, and the sword is also a tool for survival. The true intention is ultimately to be a living person.’
Can this really be called martial arts?
There is no one who does not know that there is righteousness in his heart. Because you can tell just by looking at the crazy things he did.
So what about martial arts?
-What is the essence of martial arts?
As it’s still a long way off from work, other thoughts start flying like wings.
Anyway, isn’t Kang-ho a distant dream for her as a bureaucrat?
