Episode 786
Just like that, time passed again.
The tasks that had piled up like a mountain now began to fall into place, and a sense of purpose returned within Jin Cheon-hee’s system.
However, the teacher and the rules do not change much.
The only difference is that more of the budget goes into research. And differences in how problems are handled when they arise.
Today, Jin Cheon-hee got off the ship to do the governor’s work.
‘Master, you have done all these things.’
Governing two counties includes these things.
There is a limit to what you can do while sitting at your desk, and ultimately, higher-ups have to do these negotiation tasks and on-site supervision.
‘Still, even though it is a civil war, it doesn’t seem to be at the level of a terrible war like in the past. It’s thanks to the Oryunhoe.’
The Oryunhoe was acting as a buffer between the political faction and the evil faction, and here’s one more thing.
‘War is only possible if there is money.’
The money of political factions and social factions is being siphoned off like iced Americano.
It is difficult to wage a major war because money is depleted.
‘But that doesn’t mean there aren’t people dying.’
How great it would be if the world were as peaceful and beautiful as Isha’s miniature garden.
However, I know that reality is not like that at all.
Just like that, Jin Cheon-hee got off the boat along with Manseon Daeju and ten Baekrin members.
This is the port of Nanjing.
It is very close to the main temple of Baekrin Uigak, so Jin Cheon-hee also visited it several times.
I have also met Seongju here before.
Because, as a prefectural commander, I had business to communicate.
‘The sky is still blue.’
It is the morning when the sun has just risen.
Since they had already had breakfast on the boat, the group immediately headed to the Jiangsu Province government office, where Seongju, Jiangsu Province is located.
Clap, clap, clap.
The sound of the age-old iron chain every time you walk is magnificent.
People were trying hard not to make eye contact due to the intimidating appearance and the clothes that were too finely dressed to be considered convict escorts.
Jin Cheon-hee was a little worried that people would look at her strangely.
‘It’s okay to curse at me, but what if I ruin Master’s name?’
Instead, curse at me, you bastards!
How should I respond if someone points a finger at me, saying that I am a teacher who has shackled my student’s ankles?
While I was thinking about this, people started talking about Jin Cheon-hee.
“Oh, it is indeed daylight!”
“Is Il Gwang testing a new martial art this time?”
“After all, it must be light attack training.”
“Considering that I had to cut down the statue of Gwanunjang and only carry the neck, this is more normal training than back then!”
“What about the rumor that you walked around naked? “You still wear clothes now, right?”
“….”
That’s right. Contrary to Jin Cheon-hee’s worries, he had already done too many crazy things in Gangho.
Since I’ve done so many crazy things, even the strong people have gotten used to it.
‘My stories have spread a lot in Nanjing as well.’
Jin Cheon-hee felt rewarded and wiped her forehead.
‘thank god. I was able to protect my master’s reputation.’
I will take today as a lesson and continue to live roughly as I am now.
Jin Cheon-hee looked around with such crazy thoughts.
As my mind became more relaxed, the scenery of Nanjing came into view.
There are a lot of people and a lot of things.
The road is winding like a child’s clumsy drawing.
As the city is old, it was a road built over time.
It is different from a planned city where roads were built from scratch.
Only the old imperial palace and its surroundings were demolished and refurbished to make it look good.
The rest is a crucible of chaos caused by reckless development.
It’s like a slightly mixed iced latte.
A chaotic mud pit with moderate marbling of cream, milk, and coffee.
Looking around, Jin Cheon-hee unconsciously said, ‘Hmm.’ made a sound
“Why are you doing that?”
Man-seon asked. Jin Cheon-hee answered.
“There’s a lot to fix. “I heard that water and sewerage would be brought in here… but as expected, they ended up laying it.”
In the past, a request was made to Baeklin Uigak to lay water and sewage lines in Nanjing.
At that time, after completing the foundation work, I handed over the technology and drawings to the person in charge and resigned.
However, when I finally came, I realized that it was only the area where the wealthy lived and where the castle lord and high-ranking officials lived.
“Yes, of course. I guess you don’t like that part. “You are obsessed with hygiene.”
“Germs have no eyes, so they don’t know whether the other person is a man or a woman, or whether they have a lot of money or not.”
It was also a public hygiene dilemma.
Jin Cheonhee grinned.
“Well, since His Majesty’s Imperial Majesty is with us, we will destroy everything!”
This time, I will lay water and sewage systems throughout Jiangsu Province. Hehehe!
While we’re at it, we’ll also do some road maintenance.
‘Not with my money, but with the emperor’s money! Kehehehe!’
I never thought construction work done with someone else’s money would be this much fun.
Jin Cheon-hee said with a smile like a detective.
“Isn’t this the protection of the family? “The majesty of the current situation is such that it would make even a flying bird fall, so it will be difficult for officials to criticize this situation.”
“…what. The emperor himself even issued an edict. I don’t know if there’s anyone out there who has anything to say. “I heard that there have already been several purges.”
“Man-seon is a strong person. Do you know that?”
“After all, if we destroy the Gu tribe, we will know everything. Sogakju-sama was outside of the bird, so you wouldn’t have known.”
Nine tribes?
You almost killed an entire village?
When Jin Cheon-hee opened her eyes wide, Man-seon spoke.
“I heard there was a treason. I don’t know if it’s really a traitor, but I heard that they are from a family of public servants who are famous for making a lot of money. “What’s even worse is that the family’s dog also wears a gold necklace.”
“Are you going to destroy the nine tribes?”
“yes. It looks like it didn’t go away after a while. Oh, I heard that those kidnapped underground were released. “I heard that they kidnapped people of outstanding appearance, locked them in a dungeon, and molested them.”
“…No, what is that….”
Jin Cheonhee’s pupils shook.
“This is a representative example, and since there are many other things that have been done, many people say that they feel refreshed.”
“You even plotted treason there?”
“I don’t know if it’s real.”
Jin Cheonhee’s eyes narrowed.
‘I don’t believe it either. Joo Wang-ya’s eyes are wide open. I wonder if plotting a treason is possible now.’
King Zhou was a living military god and a disaster for the Sukshin tribe.
When I heard that one person represents an army of 100,000 people, I thought it was an exaggeration.
But now I know that it is not a lie.
King Zhou is lazy, but not weak.
“Well, I guess everyone will take care of themselves. “At this point, I’ll have to lay some water and sewerage lines.”
Jin Cheon-hee snorted and puffed out her chest.
When we arrived at the castle and sent a message saying that we had come to the castle lord, the soldier politely replied that the castle lord was already waiting for us.
‘Hoo?’
Suddenly I felt strange and looked at the soldier again.
I felt a strangely strong prayer.
‘The water gate guards appear to be at least top-notch… They seem to have had about twenty years of experience. ‘That’s interesting?’
A person this strong is never used as a guard and as a gatekeeper.
When I arrived at the throne room, there was a familiar face sitting there.
“Uh… Your Majesty?”
“Mmm haha haha! It is true. “This body!”
King Zhou was looking down arrogantly, spouting lines like a villain boss.
Next to King Zhou, Yu Langhu was quietly pouring tea.
“Uh… why are you here? “What about the king?”
“I had Geum-i trade my original territory for this place. From now on, this Nanjing and its surroundings will be my royal residence. And as a bonus, I am also the lord of Jiangsu Province.”
Joo Wang-ya is now sitting as Jin Cheon-hee’s superior.
‘Oh great.’
If the opponent is Joo Wang, Jin Cheon-hee is also welcome.
At least you won’t have to ring the bell at the Imperial Palace and file complaints every time you do something.
“Aha… The Emperor gave us a very nice place. Is it because of the merits accumulated in the previous war against the Sukshin tribe?”
“That and a few other things happened. By the way…”
She suddenly looked at the shackles on Jin Cheon-hee’s ankles and then glanced at Jin Cheon-hee’s face.
There was something she wanted to say, but Jin Cheon-hee seemed to be holding back, so she spoke urgently first.
“I wear this for training purposes.”
“That’s right. It must be water lily. “Jegal Shiga thought that shackling his disciples to practice meditation was part of the process.”
shit.
As I was openly embarrassed, the situation became even more awkward.
For some reason, Jin Cheon-hee felt sad and said this.
“It’s really a practice! “It’s because of the training!”
“I believe it. okay. “I will believe it!”
The more he excused himself, the more crazy the Master seemed.
* * *
King Zhou guided Jin Tianxi to the study.
I was surprised that the study was cleaner than I expected.
I thought it would look like a typical Parakho room, with a mountain of alcohol bottles piled up there.
“Our Langrang cleans it himself every day.”
Ah, as expected, this was Yuranghu’s work.
Jin Cheon-hee was convinced.
However, at the same time, looking at the slightly wet brush and the inkstone with stains from his hands, I felt that although he liked drinking and singing and dancing, he was doing the bare minimum as a king.
If I completely let go of work, Seo Pil would be there.
There is no way there is silk or food within reach.
‘Seeing as there is no abacus, it seems like you are building a wall with the math department.’
Well, the subordinates will take care of the work, so why bother?
Geumwangya, who came to see his sister, asked, ‘Is that guy your favorite guy? Can I be taken to the Geumui Commission and be accused of using the royal family’s money?’ The fight ends with just one word.
Even if he doesn’t go that far, if he can make money against a military god who can make a sun dango with both hands, if he is that crazy, he is a talent who should be sent to a strong team.
Zhou Wangya grinned and took out all the books on the bookshelf at once.
Then a liquor bottle appeared in the space behind the books.
“Hehehe, my Langrang told me to drink less these days. So I kept a bottle in the study.”
“Is it okay to do that?”
“There’s nothing you can do about it. “The king has learned inner skills, so even if you tell him it’s okay to drink no matter how much you drink, he won’t listen.”
While saying that, he tilts the bottle against the teacup.
Gurgling –
There was something strange about the liquid flowing out.
“Is this the scent of pumpkin tea?”
“Oh, that was exquisitely cold.”
“…Why on earth is this?”
Zhou Wangya’s face turned red.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“It looks like you are in the palm of your hand after wandering. “King.”
“shit. “I’m good at martial arts, so it’s okay for me to drink a lot, right?”
“Well, it’s true that I corrected it more than the average person, but you never know. “Yuranghu is also worried.”
I thought he was going to tell me to throw it away and get a new drink, but he grumbled and started drinking the pumpkin tea that Yu Rang-hoo had made for him.
It was a love that surpassed the common sense.
“You drink too.”
Jo Ro-rok –
He poured iced tea into Jin Cheon-hee’s cup as well.
After taking a sip, I was filled with the scent of pumpkin.
“You’re really good at making tea.”
“okay. “I fell in love with that look.”
‘I heard you fell in love with the way you danced last time.’
Anyway, the reason I fell in love with him was different every time.
For some reason, the expressions on the faces of those putting down the refreshments were filled with envy.
‘Ah, I see.’
That’s what it meant to be loved by King Zhou.
To the extent that subordinates make that kind of expression.
