Episode 787
After giving and receiving pumpkin tea instead of alcohol, King Zhou finally opened his mouth.
“The message has already been received. “Did you say you were going to lay water and sewerage throughout this entire Jiangsu province?”
“yes.”
“I have already experienced his skills in the Zhouwangbu, so I have no complaints. “Once I became comfortable, I couldn’t go back to how I was before.”
“It’s also better hygienically. “There is less worry about poisoning the well.”
Whoop –
Joo Wang-ya swallowed her tea and opened her mouth.
“There used to be bodies in wells where enemies swept by. “So that the water becomes rotten and the village can never be built again.”
The war was terrible.
Because war was more cruel than anything humans could imagine.
Jin Cheon-hee answered.
“The same goes for fights between strong players. In the meantime, the civilians die along with the poisoned well water, but the black island is not black for nothing.”
“I see.”
“Well, if the water and sewage systems are not properly maintained, they can become a cause of water-borne diseases, so we need to design them properly and continue to manage them.”
“It must cost a lot of money.”
“yes. “It costs a lot to construct and also costs a lot to maintain after construction.”
“Lang Lang!”
At his words, Yu Rang-hoo opened the door and came in.
“Did you call me? “King.”
Yu Rang-hoo, neatly dressed in official uniform, slowly entered the room.
However, it is common for official uniforms to be embroidered on silk, but just looking at Yuranghu’s uniform, it appeared to have been made using inexpensive fabric.
‘Well, considering the power and wealth the King of Zhou has, he could have dressed more extravagantly… Ah. ‘Is it because you want to disgrace the Lord?’
He, who was born as a simple artist, rose to the position of King Zhou’s consort.
The emperor himself gave her a concubine and gave her the name Yuranghu, but of course, in this caste-based society, there are many people who look at this with wide eyes.
It seems like he is being cautious, fearing that it might harm the King Zhou’s reputation.
‘Well, you can feel comfortable in front of me.’
Zhou Wangya said.
“Hahaha, my husband is also well-versed in administration. He received the name of Yuranghu from the emperor, studied arithmetic, and is now faster at calculating than most officials.”
“Oh wow that’s amazing. Arithmetic is a subject where the basics are important, so it won’t be easy to learn from the beginning.”
“right?”
When Jin Cheon-hee recognized him, Joo Wang-ya shrugged his shoulders as if he was happy.
“You don’t know how disappointing it is that Lang Lang works so hard, but no one recognizes him. Still, I’m glad I recognized you.”
“no. King. “I just learned a skill from my humble beginnings…”
Joo Wang-ya stops Yu Rang-hu from doing so.
“That’s it again! Ilgwang. “Please speak kindly.”
“Why do you use the nickname Geocham Kangho? “Let’s leave all the words ‘governor’ aside.”
Jin Cheon-hee grumbled and said this.
“You are truly amazing. And the clothes you’re wearing look like official uniforms, right?”
“yes. Taesoo Jin. “Now we are seeing each other as a separate family.”
Separate home.
Originally, during the Three Kingdoms period, the direct assistant to the administrative position called Jujasa or Juju, the highest head of each state, was Byeolga.
The position itself is lower than that of the governor, but its authority is greater than that of the governor.
In the present era, the administrative name of the state has been changed to a province, so it is a direct aide to the governor of the province.
“As the mistress of Wangya, the lord of the castle and the owner of the royal palace, I was given a separate position to help with administration.”
“Oh thank you for the explanation. Then, can we discuss practical matters with the main branch?”
Since the Emperor gave him the name Zhou King, it is correct according to the etiquette of the current Hua Empire to call him Zhou Byeongga after the Chinese characters.
Zhou Wangya said.
“huh. That would be nice. That’s what happens when you install water and sewage systems anyway, but I don’t know the details. ha ha ha! And isn’t arithmetic too difficult?”
“yes. Well, you usually don’t do it with your own hands.”
In fact, he does not perform separate positions himself, but rather entrusts them to subordinates.
Because the perception of the current empire is that arithmetic is done by the lowest officials.
In that sense, Yuranghu was unusual.
I’m studying to this extent because I love Juwangya that much.
Zhou Wangya said.
“Well, I owe you a debt I received in the past, so let me make one thing clear.”
“oh?”
“If there’s someone you want to destroy, just destroy it to your heart’s content. I will grant immunity to Jiangsu Province. “Please report after taking preliminary measures.”
What about immunity?
Absurd authority was granted.
Even though Zhou Wangya was very generous, I never imagined that he would support me this much.
“What are you going to do if I have bad intentions?”
“I believe it.”
What do you believe in?
Do you believe in Dango, the sun that can be summoned with both hands?
When Jin Cheon-hee opened her mouth like a carp, Joo Wang-ya said as if she was dumbfounded.
“Why, if you give me something like this, shouldn’t I be tearing up in gratitude? “Why are you so embarrassed and don’t know what to do?”
“It’s too much!”
“It’s okay even if I give it to you.”
King Zhou cursed and picked his ears with his little finger.
“Out of all of us, the one who doubts you the most seems to be you. “If you think about what you have done for the imperial family and the empire, you can be a little more proud.”
“Well…”
“I should say ‘thank you.’ “They say my sister is pushing me.”
Jin Cheonhee’s eyes widened slightly at those words.
It may simply be a joke. If a stranger heard it, they would think it was informal because they were close friends.
But I knew that it clearly meant blood.
‘Certainly… you are different from the emperors.’
Even the emperors did not grant immunity to Jin Cheon-hee.
It was natural.
If Jin Cheon-hee makes any mistake in the future, it is natural that he will be punished according to the law of the country.
However, Joo Wang-ya says he will take responsibility for that as well.
“…All right.”
“Anyway. Go see. “Do whatever you want.”
“Then I will resign.”
Why?
For some reason, the corners of her eyes became cloudy, so Jin Cheon-hee strained her eyes and quickly went outside.
* * *
Jin Cheon-hee and Yuranghu headed to the office.
“I didn’t know that my sire would personally attend to work.”
Sir. A term used to refer to the king’s son-in-law who married the king’s daughter.
The husband of Zhou Wangya, the daughter of the previous emperor, was also considered a sire.
“I don’t know if I say this, but it’s not easy to find someone you can trust.”
As he said that, he slightly mocked himself for being Hao Wen’s spy.
Then he continued speaking.
“Furthermore, it is difficult to find competent people. “At least recently… I was able to find a lot of good talent at Baekhwanhoo.”
“oh! “It’s great to be able to help our Baekhwanhu children!”
Jin Cheonhee’s eyes sparkled.
It’s a great joy to know that the chick you raised is becoming a light to the world.
“haha. Yes. “Anyway, take a look at this budget.”
Yu Rang-hu said this and showed the document.
“This…?”
“This is the budget of Jiangsu Province. The remaining reserve fund is not that generous. In fact, the biggest problem is that about half of this budget is being lost to corrupt officials in all directions.”
Did you get this far?
This does not mean simply that one is excellent at arithmetic.
This means that Yu Rang-hu understands practical matters.
Jin Cheon-hee’s eyes changed when she looked at him.
“Wow, that’s a big deal.”
“This doesn’t happen in Baekrin-gun, right? In fact, that’s why Wang Ya received the entire Jiangsu Province as his royal residence. Do you know that the king’s government is originally limited to a county-level area among provinces, counties, and counties?”
“I didn’t know that.”
“It was like that originally. But this time, he gave me his last name.”
“There must have been a lot of opposition from the ministers.”
Yu Ranghu nodded slightly.
“It was still less than expected. It was right after a storm of blood raged through the imperial palace. However, it is impossible to install water and sewage systems right away. “The emperor has given us a budget, but before that, we need to get things sorted out.”
Clean up?
Jin Cheon-hee waited for Yu Rang-hu’s next words.
“As I showed you earlier, corruption among officials is very deep. The Emperor rules with an iron fist that will go down in history, but despite this, he cannot be eradicated. The same goes for Jiangsu Province. “If construction is carried out with the budget given by the Emperor, there will definitely be a shortage of money in the middle.”
If you send the heat down, one of the two will arrive.
This is a widespread rumor in the political world.
That’s what happens if you take a spoonful here and there.
‘Sometimes things like that happen in Baekrin-gun too.’
Of course, nine times out of ten they arrive.
There are times when you don’t know where that one went.
From this point on, it started to become a pain, but it wasn’t so much that it couldn’t be resolved.
However, it can be said that this is because it is so large that it can reach Jin Cheon-hee’s hand, and because an unreasonably large Uigak called Baekrin Uigak is secretly working behind the scenes.
However, when looking at the empire as a whole, the story is different.
An entire empire that is dozens of times larger than the White Linn Army.
furthermore.
King Zhou has just arrived in Jiangsu Province.
Although he was the lord of Jiangsu Province and the master of Zhouwangbu, his control over the local officials was not yet very great.
Of course, there are King Zhou’s vassals, but they are also in the process of taking over…
It must have been difficult to carry out proper administrative processing.
Yuranghu could do anything for Wangya.
I hoped that King Zhou would be of some help in some way and not hear people call him an ignorant person who had Cheon-chul as his companion.
Yu Ranghu said.
“So, Governor Jin… I would like you to act as a secret inspector. Confiscate the property of corrupt officials. By reprimanding them, we will prevent the budget given by the Emperor from being leaked. How are you feeling?”
Jin Cheonhee nodded.
“I was planning on doing it anyway, but it turned out great.”
It reminded me of the time when corruption was being cracked down in Baeklin County.
Yu Rang-hu expressed his deep respect to Jin Cheon-hee.
Originally, Jin Cheon-hee was his subordinate, so of course he should not have shown such extreme courtesy. But just the two of us with no one watching.
I was willing to give up my pride for the sake of King Zhou.
When I was saved by the doctor in front of me and told the truth to the Lord, I had already abandoned it.
“Please take care of me.”

On the outskirts of Hangzhou.
A man with a huge body said that he was hot.
“Yes, this is a good thing. “Can’t we just take it off!”
He said, patting his plump belly.
The man was already naked, and a small amount of liquid, smaller than a baby’s finger, was shining.
A house like a palace. It is also the deepest main house surrounded by a guard.
Just looking at it, the man was not an ordinary person with power.
And in front of him, a beautiful woman with a beautiful face smiled enchantingly.
“Hehehe~ Sir, there is no need to be in a hurry.”
While saying that, he deliberately hides himself behind the silk curtain.
As layers of clothing are peeled off, the naked body is reflected in the shadows.
So again, layer by layer.
A sound like a butterfly flapping its wings rang out, and the man could not stand it anymore and entered the silk curtain.
“Anyway, how coquettish…! “My heart is pounding so fast I can’t stand it…”
At that moment, white hands grabbed the man’s plump neck on both sides.
‘If it’s clearly a woman’s voluptuous body, why are her hands so big and so muscular…?’
Before I could even think about it, the
man’s neck was broken and he died.
