Episode 505
‘Ha… People with strong individualism cannot survive in this era.’
Since we live in an agricultural-based society with little time alone and no concept of respect for privacy, even a port city like this is like, ‘Hey, we’re strangers!’ While doing this, we come together.
It may be a good era for the type of people who are always hungry.
First of all, the teacher is an outsider in this era, and his job is a doctor, so he must have been stressed as if he were breathing.
The fact that the main temple of Baekrin Uigak is located high up in the mountain may be due to the hot springs, but I think it may also be due to this.
This means that no one except patients and staff should come.
First of all, Sima Hye is an insider.
“A new worker has arrived!”
Her skin becomes more vibrant day by day.
Of course, there are times when it is difficult because there is a lot of work, but I still seem to be the type of person who gets energy from interacting with people.
‘I’m… a bit… having a hard time.’
To put it bluntly, my natural inclination was to be close to an outsider, but as I lived in society, I was forced to become an insider.
When an outsider tries to imitate an insider, it is not efficient. No matter how easy the job is, after 7 p.m., a strange sense of helplessness and despondency comes over you and you don’t want to move a finger.
Conversely, even if work is difficult, it is better if you do it alone.
A person like that spends until 10 o’clock having a company dinner or something?
Something comes up, like the sensation that a marathon athlete feels in extreme situations.
It is a feeling similar to nirvana that occurs when a person exerts all of their energy to the limit.
This is usually when you overdo something and make a mistake.
At times like this, accidents happen.
And when I got home, I squeezed out every last drop of energy I had, took off my clothes with trembling hands, laid my nose on the bed, and just zoned out for about 10 minutes.
It’s different from depression.
It’s just hard to keep up and I don’t have the energy.
Now, when I have to run all night because of a thesis, a conference, or something else, I chew energy bars and hug the succulent pots every once in a while.
-Recharge your energy by more than 30% within 1 hour.
To accomplish this quest, put on your favorite music and grab a cup of coffee.
I patted the head of the alpaca doll I received as a gift a while ago.
Kids these days need to recharge by cleaning robot figures they don’t know.
If you do that to the point of shame, a person like this will be created.
And look at Sima Hui.
“Eun-gong is the new craftsman, and I think I can recommend two people. “After looking into it, I found it to be trustworthy!”
Sama Hye is still absorbing energy thanks to the reputation of the neighborhood.
i envy you.
And her Hangzhou Humint is quite accurate and is more detailed than the information on Opening and Haowen.
It’s amazing.
I also think I know why Master moved the headquarters of Baeklin Uigak to the mountain.
“In particular, Seok-kyung needs money because his son broke the leg of someone’s cow.”
“Cow legs?”
“yes yes. That’s because I dated Chunwol and then broke up. “They say he cried after drinking and then fell asleep when the cow went by.”
Um… this is now shared with everyone in the neighborhood, right?
“And your daughter was recently seen fetching water with a local man. About 7-8 times? I think that’s enough to make us angry, so maybe we could get married. Then you will need more money, so you will work harder.”
…You can also know these numbers.
During the days when I was confined to the main office of Baekrin Uigak, I sometimes wandered around like Ganghonangjung, giving treatment.
This is the first time I have felt such a true community.
Isn’t our country now little more than a rural village?
Is this normal here?
In contrast to Sima Hye, who was recharging, Jin Cheonhee, who was losing energy, wrote down the name Seokgyeong with trembling hands.
After hearing about Hangzhou Humint from Sima Hui, I went back into the workshop.
In the scorching heat, Sima Hyun is smiling brightly.
“Oh brother! “The workshop is going well.”
“thank god.”
“The residents of Hangzhou are all active with the goal of making a lot of money, and the number of jobs has increased. Isn’t this a good thing for a sister and a good brother-in-law?”
Sima Hyeon looked happy.
Is this guy popular or not?
From what I’ve observed, this guy plays well even when alone and plays well with others.
For some reason, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him get tired.
“Come here and look at the ledger. Brother~”
Sima Hyun called Jin Tianxi to the workshop office like that.
When I went inside, there were various abacuses and order forms piled up like a mountain.
“To get straight to the point, I think I received over 100,000 nyang in gold in just two months of operating the workshop~”
My eyes naturally widened at those words.
This was because I earned more than expected.
Sima Hyeon looked fresher than usual.
Anyway, this guy seems to get energy just from making a lot of money. It’s a good thing.
“It’s more than I thought?”
“Ultra-luxury full-length mirrors can cost more than two hundred times the original price.”
“iced coffee.”
Then I remembered.
The ‘ultra-luxury product’ referred to here is a full-length mirror decorated with the best decoration by the best craftsmen.
This alone is nothing short of a work of art, and both the one presented to His Majesty the Emperor and the one sent to His Majesty the King can be said to be ultra-high-end products.
The psychology of the rich seems to stimulate the desire for consumption just by having a workshop with a master craftsman who carves mirrors presented to His Majesty.
“We are accepting people, but reservations are at least a year behind. “If you don’t receive the advance payment, you won’t be able to make a reservation~”
Sima Hyun repeated the word ‘advance payment’ a few times before saying this.
“That’s a great word. brother. I didn’t even receive the item, but people are throwing me a lump sum of money like this. “I heard there are so many rich people in Jungwon~”
The rich get richer while the poor get poorer.
What can I say?
Where does the wealth accumulated over dozens of generations by noblemen and powerful families go?
Even if the emperor was replaced, the country changed, war swept through, or the Demonic Cult flourished, they were always there.
“Is a super high-end product worth 3,000 nyang?”
“huh. “If you get just ten, it’s 30,000 nyang. If you get dozens, it’s well over 100,000 nyang.”
Here are two more products: a high-end product and a regular product.
The problem is that the production volume of regular products is lower than that of luxury products.
‘It’s a secret, though.’
Therefore, regular products are being distributed to customers who have purchased multiple luxury or ultra-luxury products.
‘This guy, Sima Hyeon, sells luxury watches here.’
Even though I didn’t teach him, the speed at which he turns his head is not normal.
“The difference between ultra-high-end products and high-end products is the difference in materials and difficulty of workmanship, right?”
“huh. The mirror quality is the same. But ultra-luxury products contain things like jade, amethyst, ivory, and gold.”
“Hand mirror, face mirror. “This place doesn’t take reservations.”
“huh. “We are selling everything we make, but we are giving priority to large customers who usually buy ultra-high-end products.”
‘Hyuna… you will do really well in business when you come to Earth.’
Sima Hyeon continued.
“So I’d like you to take a look at it.”
“hmm?”
What Sima Xuan took out was a thin booklet.
Unlike just a booklet, there were pictures on every page and various mirrors.
It was a booklet made with woodblock prints.
The color is also red, yellow and blue. It is a method of stamping in layers by covering different wooden boards with ink.
“Wow… it’s luxurious.”
“yes? “I’m thinking of spending this on two occasions: summer and winter.”
“Are you introducing a new product?”
“That’s right… Honestly, if I sell the mirror and use it for ten or twenty years, I won’t make any money, right? brother?”
“…I…is that right?”
Jin Cheon-hee suddenly thought of the Earth cleaner she had been with for 20 years.
My senior came to my house and cursed at me, telling me that at this level, there must be a goblin lurking in the house and asking me to please change it.
“That’s why I keep introducing new types of mirrors through paintings. For example, if we used orchids last year to create a bright atmosphere, this year we will create a heavy mirror with pine trees.”
“Then orchids… uh… must feel like they’re going out of style.”
“yes. So you will want a pine tree. Of course, in the current situation, we will be making reservations now for what we will receive next year. For now… that’s the plan.”
“…Uh… I see.”
No matter how you look at it, it seems like this guy chose the wrong world to be born into.
After looking at Sima Hyun’s sample booklet for a while, I found that it was quite fascinating.
“Is there anything to reinforce here?”
“Hmm…”
First of all, it would be good for sales to keep this booklet for a long time.
“Crossword play…duh…. No, it would be nice if there was a crossword game?”
While saying that, I roughly drew and explained how to play the crossword game.
“It would be better if the Chinese characters you use are easy. “If possible, it should be within a thousand characters.”
“It’s a mystery. “I will be proud when I complete it.”
“yes. And it would be nice to have a route finding game too.”
I drew the rough shape of the maze.
“Both black and white are sufficient, so it won’t cost that much money.”
“Do you think I’ll be able to hold on to this for a long time?”
“yes. The answer is… I think it would be good to include it in the next episode.”
The answer will be revealed after half a year. In modern times, we would refresh in 3 seconds and forget everything, but this is not the digital age and there is not much to play with.
This is the era where, rather than getting tired of playing the sapphire and the red jade over a hundred times, we wander around looking for a new challenger.
“It would be nice to have a technician.”
“huh. And I think it would be best to write the explanatory text in the booklet as simply as possible.”
“Don’t noblemen like difficult things more?”
“That’s true, but you’re also going to send it to the strong players, right? Instead, I think it would be better to write down little by little the poems that seem to be there.”
The purpose is not to convey knowledge like the Analects of Confucius or the Seo-gyeong.
It’s just supposed to be fun.
People tend to want something just because it looks flashy and fun.
Sima Xuan wrote down every single opinion his brother expressed and said this.
“I want to touch some money.”
“Thanks to you, I also earned some money. “There is quite a lot of profit coming in from the top of Gongson.”
“It did well because Gongson Sangang sells to non-tax customers as well.”
At that time, Sima County finally decided that it would not be completely free and would leave some profit to everyone.
Of course, given the situation, I told him to let it go later if it was difficult, but now this statement has become meaningless as the amount has grown so much.
It was a good thing.
Sima Hyun said.
“By the way, ganja has increased.”
“Are you trying to steal information?”
“At first, I thought it was just that, but it seemed like they were checking the workers’ timetables.”
Jin Cheon-hee responded to those words with a cool expression.
“…Is there an attack coming?”
Sima Hyeon chuckled.
“What will come will come.”
Crackling –
My younger brother loosened his knuckles.
Whenever he thought of seeing blood, he would always laugh as if it were a joke.
