Episode 880
Now that I think about it, there is a rumor that King Zhou keeps showing off handsome men who are said to be the best in the river in front of Princess Sobaek these days.
There are some people who point fingers at him, saying that he is a profligate king who teaches his older daughter the arts.
To begin with, she is a free spirit who has ignored things like arranged marriages.
Since there is no benefit in trying to increase power in a position where one has given up on succession, magistrates say that this is also a royal way of managing oneself.
Here, Sima Hyun casts a different perspective.
‘What if you just hope that your daughter’s first love will give up on its own?’
Sima Hyeon decided to see for himself.
King Zhou did not seem to be a person who cared much about the Emperor’s opinions.
Don’t you think you can get the answer just by looking at his temperament as he calmly says that he stole bingo from his younger brother?
‘What if you’re being rude and mean and just trying to rip me off?’
okay. If the other person is your older brother, it’s worth it.
He prayed for the peace of Princess Sobaek, who was walking down the road to hell.
First love is bitter.
Sima Hyeon read the letters while the two older brothers made dumplings.
“They say there is a surge of people wanting to become tenant farmers. “The number of people being recruited is 5,000 households, but applications are from 10,000 households.”
“Are there that many poor people?”
“There are still a lot. “The entire population of Jiangsu Province alone is estimated at several million.”
“It’s serious.”
“My brother only has jurisdiction over Baekrin County, so it won’t feel that real~” “
….”
Jin Cheonhee is lost in thought.
However, the hands kneading the dough were literally like a living whirlwind.
Soon, I started cutting the dough into pieces half the size of my fist and laying them out.
“So what are you going to do? brother?”
“What should I do? Hire them all. “As much as I can.”
“Aren’t we producing too much? What if grain prices fall and we run into a deficit?”
“Grains have many uses. You can sell food at a cheap price at the guest house. “If you can, you can take it to Damjin and sell it.”
“iced coffee.”
Now that I think about it, isn’t there another trade route that my brother opened?
It is also a fairly large trade route.
Jin Cheon-hee continued.
“Because it is such a barren place, food is more expensive than soda rock. There was an uproar last time because of rinderpest.”
Soda rocks are cheaper than food. This is unimaginable in the midfield.
“Brother, you have an idea~”
“What do you plan to do Hao Wen?”
“Of course we’ll go in together~ Let’s redirect some of the debtors to the farm. There are some kids who don’t fit in. “If you send those kids to farm, they’ll do well because they’re doing what they’re used to doing.”
“Okay…”
Cheonwoo suddenly interrupted.
“If things go well, it would be nice to have an independent military attaché come in.”
“Then you are welcome. But Jang Mun-in won’t give permission easily… Isn’t that tricky?”
Non-partisan.
I know that, as is the case with the Bone Jeongpa faction, they are quite cautious when it comes to military expansion.
Therefore, even if a non-partisan sign is put on the military attache, everyone is anxious to get in.
Cheonwoo nodded.
“But, if there is a connection with Baekrin Uigak and it is close to Uibang, I would like to welcome Jang Mun-in. “If you get hurt in the military, you can go straight to the medical room.”
It’s a pretty good win-win.
Jin Cheonhee blurted out.
“Cheonwoo grew up well.”
“yes?”
Cheonwoo’s eyes widen slightly.
Jin Cheon-hee stroked Cheon-woo’s head with flour-covered hands.
“He grew up well. You grew up well! Have you risen to the position of shaman and now suggesting such things?”
“Oh my brother! “Stop, stop!”
It’s so big and its face is so red that it looks really funny.
However, as if he didn’t like it, he didn’t raise his head until Jin Cheonhee finished stroking it.
At that time, Sima Hyeon asked.
“But brother.”
“huh? why.”
“About the next letter. “What is this unmanned reclamation plan?”
From the terminology, it felt a bit crazy.
Jin Cheonhee said cheerfully.
“What is it? “It’s a way to kill two birds with one stone.”
bang!
The cut dough formed a perfect circle.
The thin and beautiful petals turned into dumpling skin and fell down.
* * *
When Jin Cheon-hee was making dumplings for Princess Sobaek.
An unmanned worker who originally entered the delivery business was chopping wood.
Unmanned Jang Oh.
This is because I suggested that I might want to learn other martial arts at Baekrin Uigak.
Survival specialized martial arts.
At Baekrin Uigak, they called him that and said they would teach him the art of Jiryonggong.
It is said that Jiryonggong is a type of external attack that increases strength and stamina, and at the same time heals many wounds on its own.
It prevents you from getting tired easily and at the same time helps you recover from fatigue quickly.
He said that since it is a type of external training, it does not matter which internal training method you are learning.
‘If you just listen to the words, you can see that he has the will to manipulate people like a horse…’
In the first place, isn’t learning even a decent external technique more difficult for a third-rate martial artist than picking a star in the sky?
‘Now that I’ve learned Gyeongshinbobeop, the next thing is external training!’
With that mindset. Jang Oh responded to Baeklin Uigak’s proposal.
And now he was practicing Jiryongong – a type of pupil, so he could practice while moving – and was swinging an axe.
However, it is said that once you learn Jiryonggong, you must work in a reclamation project for at least a year.
Of course, you can only learn martial arts and get kicked out, but if you are being ripped off like that, give up the idea of getting treatment at Baekrin Uigak.
Of course, the opponent is not Pyo Guk, but Uigak.
‘It’s the life of a ronin that you never know where you might get hit by a sword and die.’
I have no intention of running away with my opponent.
It’s the same for everyone else.
Everyone is doing business with sincerity, unless they are a deadbeat in the dark war.
Of course, there are reasons why Wolbong is better than expected.
‘I make more from this than I deliver.’
Should delivery work be said to be riding a bandwagon?
There is a big difference between when there is a lot of work and when there is little work, but here, there is no such thing and it is given as average.
I like that.
Should I say it is stable?
Whoooo-
Kwasik!
One-third of the strong tree was cut off with one blow.
Jang Oh smiled at the cool feel, took off the ax, and swung it again.
Phew.
Kwasik! Ujikkeun!
The tree falls from the impact.
“These muscles! This power! Feel so good!”
I feel like even my brain has become a muscle.
Learning the Earth Dragon Ball will give you time to withstand no matter how unskilled your opponent is.
‘Is one side a light ball and the other a regenerative ball centered on an external ball?’
There are some regrets.
It may be helpful in saving a life, but it does not seem to be very helpful in a life-or-death situation or a fight.
In that case, advanced swordsmanship or cancer techniques would be much more helpful.
‘As expected, I will teach you when I become a soldier belonging to Baekrin Uigak.’
Isn’t there anyone who doesn’t know how excellent Baekrin Uigak’s archery skills are?
I heard in Yeonmu City that the swordsmanship and mental techniques are different.
Becoming a warrior guarding Baekrin’s Pavilion.
In the beginning, you could get in with just one-tenth of the effort you are making now. But every year, more and more warriors visited Baekrin Uigak.
Nowadays, the competition rate has become higher than going through the eye of a needle.
‘I didn’t know Baeklin’s Pavilion would grow this big.’
To begin with, Uigak was not a very attractive place for warriors.
Of course, I would go if it were written, but if I had to choose between the gatekeeper of a giant Sega and the key driver of Uigak, most would choose the former.
This is because it imparts at least some of the German martial arts.
‘Yes, there may be some who laugh at it, calling it collateral level.’
Anyone who has ever experienced sword training knows that even if it is just a secondary level of martial arts, it is on a different level from learning from a lowly military officer.
In the end, martial arts is better than life.
For a warrior, martial arts was ultimately the reason for living and the reason for dying.
Sometimes it was everything in the world, and sometimes it was nothing.
That’s life as a warrior.
‘It was Baekrin’s Pavilion that broke it.’
It has been shown that the martial arts taught at Uigak are not inferior to those taught at large Sega.
Archery at first.
Most people make a living as swordsmen, and archery is usually practiced at the military gate.
It’s good to be good at shooting a bow, but aren’t archers who ultimately die if they close the distance with a light attack?
However, the archery taught at Baeklin Uigak showed that that was not all.
Next is Bobeop, Simbeop, and Changsul.
By sequentially passing on things that can be compared to the teachings of Buddhism to the affiliated warriors, Baekrin Uigak has now risen to a position where it is no less inferior to the giants of Sega.
‘Well, there are still many people who would choose the gatekeepers of the Namgung family, the Gongsun family, and the Hwangbo family…’
Because the strong in tradition are not going anywhere.
However, Jang-oh values his family.
Sigh!
Trees fall down one by one with a single blow of the axe.
‘I felt there was nothing more boring than pioneering farmland, but that’s not the case since this is also applied to martial arts.’
One ax to grind, one learning at a time.
The quality of the learning never deteriorates compared to what I learned on my own.
‘Good.’ good.’
Jang Oh wipes his sweat and continues chopping down the tree.
There is a smile on his lips.
Next to Jang Oh, another colleague began moving the fallen tree by himself.
“Uracha!”
He also has a bright expression.
‘Did you say he came from a third-rate martial arts background?’
He was not talented in light attack, so he would have been quickly eliminated in the ranking competition.
But when they said they were doing a land reclamation project, the first thing they did was run over and write down their name.
In order for a third-rate martial artist to survive to that age in a powerhouse, he must be quick-witted.
“Where are you taking that?”
“We will move it to a wood processing site… and ultimately arrive at a fertilizer manufacturing plant.”
“I heard you’re busy there too?”
“I heard that the carpenters are having a hard time because they are building it in a way that has never been done before.”
“Can’t we just dig up the ground and make manure?”
“Existing compost seems to be centered around fermentation, but now it looks like heat processing is also involved. I don’t know the original details, but I heard that they teach basic Yeoyanggong. But it doesn’t suit me, so I didn’t volunteer for it.”
“Hmm… I don’t think it would suit me either.”
“That’s right. “Everyone thinks that way, so there are not many applicants for that field.”
When Jang Oh nodded, the martial artist continued speaking.
“Actually, that one is the most toxic. They say it’s compost, but in the end it’s just human waste and cow dung and rice straw. Isn’t that the most dirty and hurtful thing? “Did we learn martial arts just to burn shit?”
Living in form and dying in form is also unmanned.
No matter how much money you pay, you don’t want to do that, which is another unmanned mentality.
“No matter how precious Yeoyang-gong is, I can’t go.”
“The people who went there to learn that are really toxic people.”
Jang Oh clicked his tongue.
But at the same time, I had this thought.
How much do you have to pay to go there and do it?
‘Or is the teaching of Yeolyanggong some kind of great newgongjeolhak?’
* * *
Just like that, the seasons began to pass.
A village has finally begun to emerge near Hongtaek Lake.
‘It’s still a bit early to call it a complete village.’
Even though I am using Kanghoin, it is true that the clearing speed is slower than that of a tractor.
Technicians such as carpenters and masons are ultimately the common people.
First of all, basic civil engineering work has been completed.
And now we are just starting to accept people who will officially buy it.
Still, the water and sewerage issues were resolved to some extent, and administrative officials and police officers were deployed.
‘The upper level and logistics center will probably not start moving until the fall of this year.’
Moving according to farming ultimately means moving according to the seasons.
Jin Cheon-hee looked at the newly completed village from the top of the hill.
To be exact, a hill filled with nameless graves.
I don’t know who the owner is. But even if the village disappears, the graves always remain.
There were also traces of someone coming and taking care of the graveside from time to time.
Perhaps someone else is still remembering someone who lived in this town.
‘You can see the village at a glance from this spot.’
So it seems like a tomb was built.
So that I can watch over the village even when I die.
For people of this era, that was what hometown was.
A place to be born, grow and die.
And the end of the ruins.
The person left, leaving only burnt ashes.
But the grave still watches over the village. That’s what death is.
