Episode 529
In this way, the gifted students who were recruited by order of the Deputy County Commander arrived in Jin Cheon-hee’s other world.
“Sir, what on earth is this?”
“Ah, don’t you know? This is called a ticket. The Deputy County Manager sometimes calls it ‘graph’. “This allows us to speed up our work.”
“Oh my god, this can’t be happening. This is the graph….”
“If you can’t learn it, I will provide you with a special shovel. “Newcomer.”
“Dedicated shovel?”
“yes. It is a tool for digging into the ground once, stepping on it with your feet, and then digging with all your might. Depending on how it is assembled, it can also be used as a pickaxe.”
“Why would I use a shovel like this? senior.”
“It’s used to push mountains. “If you don’t learn graphs, you will soon.”
“What is this! “Me, a genius in the Central Plains who learned a thousand characters at the age of five and mastered the basics of elementary school and the Four Books and Three Classics of art at the age of eight?”
“Congratulations. Newbie. “You are the weakest among us.”
My senior learned Cheonjamun at the age of four and Sohak at the age of seven.
The same was true for the senior at the desk next to me, and even the guys digging the hill behind me with a shovel were the same.
Everyone who receives this monthly salary is someone who has been called a genius since childhood in their village.
Quagwagwagwang!
A loud noise rings out from the mountain behind.
As I looked at him in surprise, the senior spoke calmly.
“The county commander is in the process of drilling through the mountain with the sword. Now, civil engineering seniors will clean up after themselves.”
The senior said.
“Welcome to the other world of daylight. “Newcomer.”
Does that mean that if you learn what graphs are, you don’t have to do that?
“What a newcomer. Have you mastered arithmetic?”
“Isn’t that a mean knowledge that only street merchants learn?”
I wonder why the seniors just laughed at those words.
“…Congratulations. “I will make a new friend in the civil engineering department.”
The newbie couldn’t understand what he was talking about. Then again.
Quagwagwagwang!
“The Deputy County Manager is destroying everything with great ease.”
“No, I heard that Il-gwang is definitely at the level of fireworks, but why on earth do you use such an exquisite martial skill to just break stones?”
“….”
Kwagwang, kwagwagwagwang!
The seniors said.
“Il-gwang is really that kind of guy. “Get used to it.”
“You learned a thousand characters at the age of five and mastered the basics and the Four Books and Three Classics at the age of eight, but you, who don’t know arithmetic, are taught to use a shovel and are sent to the civil engineering department.”
“No… why… crazy… why me, this precious talent? why?”
Googoo googung!
Again, the sound of daylight pushing against a mountain echoes from afar.
Suddenly, an elderly woman stopped working and put her hands together in the direction of the sound.
“Why on earth are you praying towards the sunlight? “Why is everyone respecting me when all I’m doing is smashing a rocky mountain without martial arts?”
“You’re talented in civil engineering. Talented person. “If you’re going to go into civil engineering, you have to memorize the contour lines before you go.”
“What are contour lines?”
That is the other world of daylight.
A hard-headed person cannot survive.
For some reason, the seniors looked at this newcomer with very pitiful eyes.
“At least eat a hearty meal beforehand.”
“…?”
“Did you prepare comfortable shoes? “If you don’t have it, I’ll lend it to you.”
“…?”
“Bamboo rice balls are sold in front of you, so be sure to take them with you.”
* * *
In this world where there is no TV or U-Tube, isn’t the best entertainment the prefectural trial and the damn sword dance?
Of course, there is no excitement like in the Joseon Dynasty where people dance and decide whether to cut or not, but they do use a large ax in one blow.
In that sense, the Hua Empire is a bit… medieval European.
Instead of executing the old Hyeonseung, they sent him a slave, tied him to a rope, and made him walk around the village in a ceremony.
So, the approval rating of the acting mayor has skyrocketed.
With the intention of showing off what I was doing, I emptied the warehouse and found that rice and gold were pouring out.
In short, it was money earned through illegal usury.
In order to pay harsh taxes, the common people had to borrow money from Hyeonseung, but strangely, the amount of taxes the government told them to pay was different from the amount of taxes actually collected.
Since this was proof that not only Hyeonseung but also the previous Hyeonyeong had been cheated, they found Hyeonseung’s secret ledger, added the testimonies of the civilians who had paid, and fired it at the imperial palace.
The civilians who had already committed suicide… had no family left, so their neighbors did it for them.
your majesty? No.
If I sent it any further, it would cause trouble, so I sent it to Han Yi-jeong.
‘I hope the little ball I shot explodes well and creates a bright fireworks display.’
I was blown away, thinking of the Reverend Fireworks Festival of dreams and hope.
After all, only two people, Hyunseung and Hyeonryeong, could have done that.
I’m sure the inspector who passed by here must have done it, and we’ll have to see if the guy who appointed the prefecture also traded government positions.
If you set it on fire properly, everyone will take the express train to Hwangcheon.
To begin with, the land around Jiangsu Province is good.
Although the land itself is small, the sedimentary soil created by the Yangtze River makes most of Jiangsu Province fertile land.
Such fertile land produces enormous rice yields.
It’s also close to the sea, so it’s good for maritime trade, and it’s also close to a river, so logistics can be moved there as well.
There are a lot of mudflats, so there are a lot of clams and crabs.
In a land like this, even though it is only Lake Icheon near Baekrin Uigak, there would be a lot of income that could be earned.
Master went to the mountains near the hot springs to reduce the number of murders and maintain his health, but he still had to function as a royal guard, so he chose Jiangsu Province.
It is truly a sin of the people of this world to make fun of such great land without developing it.
They came to another world, so why aren’t they developing it?
Even the roads are cleared! Make land too!
Kugwagwagwang–!
Wave the wise man’s wand at the officials who look at him like he’s crazy!
Kwagwang, kwagwagwang!
“Hey, Ilgwang… I only heard it in words. “You really cut down a mountain with a knife!?”
“No, but why on earth are you using the precious sword steel to break rocks?”
“They say it is to build a road, but there is the Yangtze River, so why build a road…?”
Listen. Foolish officials, roads are more often than not.
In addition, the Yangtze River overflows every summer, causing serious flood damage, so flood control work needs to be done in advance now.
‘These limestone granites that I’m breaking now are going to have to be used for measurements.’
It is not my intention to leave behind something great like King Yao and Shun.
Flood control is essential to prevent people, cows, and horses from being washed away by floods, and for that purpose, these boulders will come in handy.
‘I have studied some of the modern methods.’
If you grind this limestone and mix it with sand, it becomes amazing cement.
And what if you mix in volcanic ash?
That’s the Greek and Roman method.
The main mountain of Baeklin Uigak is located in a volcanic area, so it is easy to obtain volcanic ash.
“Why on earth is Daylight chopping up the cliff?”
“They say it’s good for moving.”
“Is that why you cut down the trees and aligned them horizontally?”
“They say that if you use a cut tree as a wheel and send the cut rocks down, you can use less manpower.”
Kugwagwagwang!
size–!!
Civil engineering work!!
“Why are you wearing a yellow wooden helmet on top of your head?”
“I took the lead by saying that safety comes first. Do you see the green cross?”
The gifted students are all holding each piece of equipment and looking at it in fascination.
“On earth… how strong is it?”
“I heard that the powerful people are strong, but at this level, they will never be inferior to the abilities of the royal family.”
“Rather, I heard that the sunlight is strangely strong.”
The gifted students took a deep breath and watched Il-gwang’s actions.
‘In the future, these people will take care of the county instead.’
The total number of gifted students requested by Jin Cheon-hee is twenty-two.
I plan to sing more later, but for now, twenty-two.
I asked Seolgyeon why he was asking me to bring so many people, but I would not be able to bear some of the nonsense and would have to leave.
It is definitely an advantage that the green bonus is strong and the medical benefits of Baekrin Uigak are available.
Aren’t they even unemployed?
While resting for a long time, he wrote a poem about the emperor and compared it to a loach or a crow, lamenting the Chinese Empire ruled by traitors.
As a Confucian, he would have written an appeal and reported it.
As time goes by and you are unemployed, you will want to do something.
Since the personality test was conducted by the owner himself, he will not be shaken even if he faces considerable adversity.
However, you have to learn arithmetic and tables, which you will never see in your life.
Also, there are a lot of things to learn, such as contour lines and all, so should I learn them first?
In addition, those with low grades have to be brought to a civil engineering site and learn through their own eyes how a local mayor pushes a mountain and clears a road, and even have to carry stones?
This is crazy.
‘But I need it.’
If you just sit at a desk, you will only see civil engineering and dimensions on paper.
You probably won’t be able to tell whether the rock someone is dragging is granite or limestone, or whether the tree is a maple or a pine tree.
And if you decide what’s comfortable and someone takes advantage of it, you won’t know how things are going.
That’s how all corruption happens.
‘So someone has to learn.’
Here, there are about three prefectures needed for Baekrin-hyeon (the name was changed at this point because it is a town given to Baekrin Uigak).
And those who remain will assist Baekrin County and Baekrin Uigak.
How many of these will survive?
Please, at least one more person will have to endure.
“Hey, when are you going to feed our little boy?”
It’s a snow dog.
“Are you still not back?”
“Damn. Wherever a beggar goes, he feels like a beggar. “Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.”
She laughed in a harsh tone and tapped Jin Cheonhee on the back.
“In that sense, I want to beg for lunch from Baek Seon-gwang-ui.”
It doesn’t seem like you just stopped by to get a meal, it seems like there was some real reason?
I decided to take my time and take a look.
* * *
“Kkkkk Anyway, I’ve finished my business in Jiangsu Province, so I have to go back now.”
She shook the spoon she was using to scoop up the soup.
Seolleongtang splashed everywhere, but Jin Cheon-hee remained calm.
Considering the crazy nature of the snow dog, I should have been thankful that I didn’t eat it with my bare hands.
At least I’m pretending to hold a spoon in front of a doctor who is extremely sensitive to cleanliness.
“You came to see my face for the last time.”
“okay. “I was on the move because a blood clot broke out in the neighborhood down there.”
“Is it going to explode loudly?”
“About five factions fought over the elixir. It’s not that crazy. There are two factions and three political factions, so it’s a war. “Kkkkkk.”
I know that something happened through Yeo Ha-ryun.
However, after listening to the story, it seems to be growing bigger than expected.
“What are the Apostles and the Murim Alliance doing?…”
“I tried to mediate, but I said I failed~? In the end, both Maeng and Ryeon broke off for fear that it would turn into a civil war. “Both sides won’t intervene at all?”
“Then it will become more intense.”
“yes. Two out of five have already been almost destroyed. “It may be that Sega’s reputation as a company will be lost.”
