Episode 1205 What’s the difference? (5)
The overflowing liquor was sloshing around. Jang Il-so, who was looking down at his glass of wine, tilted his head back in the daylight.
“Did you go?”
“Yes, Lord Lian. I just left the Lian.”
“Tsk.”
Jang Il-so clicked his tongue slightly and raised the glass to his mouth with an expression that seemed to displease him. “
It’s because he’s so weak-hearted. I heard he was well-respected in the commercial world, so I expected a little.”
“…I would like to agree with you if possible, but honestly, I would like to say that it is amazing that you came to your senses after just one visit.”
“hmm?”
“Considering that I personally treated the current leader.”
“Tsk, tsk. These days, you too are slowly putting honey on your tongue. This is how those in power become corrupted.”
Ho Ji-myeong, who heard Jang Il-so’s criticism rather than criticism, smiled and asked.
“Then will you throw me out?”
“Okay.”
Place let out a faint groan and shook his head.
“That’s not possible. The guy who is the leader of the upper world is such a fool. Where on earth are you going to get someone to replace you?”
He slowly took a breath and spoke again.
“Aside from being weak-hearted, I thought he would be a little smart since he was a merchant…”
“It must have been difficult to understand.”
Ho Ga-young smiled lightly and comforted his feelings.
In their eyes, Lord Ryeon was nothing more than a tyrant. However, since such a leader used his wealth to help the common people, they can’t help but think it’s strange, right?” ”
So, that’s stupid.”
Jeong Il-so, with a small tongue, continued harshly.
“A merchant who only seeks profit . It means that this guy doesn’t even know what the benefits are.”
“……”
“The reason politicians promote goodness and order is not because they are good, but because it is the best way to deal with stupid civilians. If I had understood that, I wouldn’t have reacted like that. It may be true for others, but as a merchant, shouldn’t you know that goodness and order are beneficial?”
Hu Jiaming sighed.
“It may be natural for Lord Lian. It’s not easy for ordinary people like us.”
“It’s a tough situation. Of course you would have known that much.”
“…That’s true.”
Hu Jiaming smiled bitterly.
The reason a ruler becomes a tyrant is not because he or she is greedy. It’s simply because he or she is stupid. Truly greedy. These kings must become perfect guardians of law and order,
because that brings the most benefit to the king. If
everyone in the world acts according to their own greed and ignores order and law, they will fall into the desired chaos. And so, that chaos. It takes a huge amount of power and money to stabilize the people.
However, if people keep good and respect order, the king can extract profits from them without any effort. It is cruel. “There is something to be learned from those
political bastards as well. You have to learn it. Things like lines, order, and agreement. People who have become accustomed to such things do not carelessly point a knife at others even though they are starving to death right away.” “……” “Just as
wolves
are tamed for food and turned into dogs, people are tamed with goodness and turned into slaves. ”
Jang Il-so chuckled and laughed.
“Those proud partisans also say that the sword that kills people if they are wrong is a means of good, so why can’t I use their goodness as a weapon?” “That is extremely correct.”
Sapae
. If a rumor spreads that Ryeon saved the common people by asking for all the sacrifices piled up in the warehouse, the common people of Gangnam will not be able to easily rebel against what Passion does in the future. Perhaps Jang Il-so is cruel to the powerful people, but those who have not learned martial
arts They may be considered to be extremely merciful to others, and perhaps in the future, to repay the favor they received, they may become hostile to political
factions. Whatever the result, it was absolutely no loss to Jang Il-so or the Sapaeryeon. Such enormous profits could not have been achieved through money and manipulating others. If so, why would there be any hesitation?
“But…”
Ho Ga-young chuckled.
“It’s a little funny. If things continue like this, it would be difficult to guarantee that the day will come when you will be called the best governor in the world.” ”
Hahahahahahaha!”
Jang Il-so burst into laughter.
“Governor of the world? Hahahaha. That’s not bad either! Hahahahahahaha! “So, am I going to become a member of the Guangdong faction?”
Jang Il-so laughed, holding his stomach. That’s because he knows that it’s hard to say for sure that it’s not possible. In
the first place, there’s only one small difference between hypocrisy and goodness. It’s just that. If someone practices hypocrisy all his life and then dies without revealing that his goodness was hypocrisy, wouldn’t he eventually become a good person who did good all his life? It doesn’t matter what Jang Il-so means by doing good
. If those who received help start praising Jang Il-so, maybe he will really be evaluated as a governor in the future.
“Hahaha. Feel so good. It’s a good thing…
It’s a great thing, isn’t it?” “It’s not something you’ll laugh at… It’s half a joke, but it’s not half a joke.” ”
Hmm?”
Kang Il-so said with a bright look in his eyes. I looked at Hu Jiaming. Then Hu Jiaming opened his mouth seriously.
“If the meaning of being a counselor is to sacrifice what you have to help others, then there is nothing wrong with it even now. No matter how well-funded the Society is, doesn’t this cost an astronomical amount of money?” ”
Tsk. “You’re acting like a bitch.”
Jang Il-so frowned.
“The wealth that that money demon has accumulated is more than enough to handle the situation.”
That statement was definitely true. The Black Ghosts are the wealthiest organization in the world. It was no exaggeration. The amount of money they had amassed through salt smuggling was enough to astound even Ho Ga-young, who managed the finances of a huge group called the Maninbang. But… “Lord
Lian
. Trials is a huge organization. Although we can hold on for now, there is a limit to how much we can hold on with the money we have saved.”
“There is nothing to worry about.”
Despite Hu Ga-myeong’s concerns, Jang Il-so waved his hand as if it was not a big deal.
“So, don’t leave a single penny behind and take all the grain and goods. Use it to buy fields.”
“Ryeonju, then…”
“Tsk, tsk. Pseudonym. Let’s stop being frustrated and think about it.”
Jang Il-so slowly stood up from his seat. Then, he took a step toward Hu Ga-myeong.
“What was the money?”
“……Yes?”
“What is gold?”
“That’s…”
Hu Jiaming, who was about to answer something, eventually closed his mouth. Then a meaningful smile appeared on Jang Ilso’s lips.
“Yes. Do you understand? Money is itself. Law is nothing. It is only people who create value. Without promises between people, money is a useless wad of paper and gold is nothing more than a piece of soft iron that cannot be made into a sword.”
“……”
“What on earth does gold mean to someone who is starving to death? No matter how much gold is the size of a house, it is not worth a single grain of rice to a starving person.”
“…That’s right.”
“Soon… yes. It will come soon.”
Jang Il-so’s face was instantly haunted.
“A time when a hop of rice that can fill a hungry stomach right away is more important than a mountain of vouchers. A time when rusty iron that can make a sharp sword is more precious than gold that flows like a river.” go!”
Looking at Jang Ilsoo like that, Hu Jiaming even forgot to breathe.
Jang Il-so slowly traced his blood-red lips with his index finger.
“When that time comes, what the world believed was right will be thrown to the ground, and what the world believed to be mean will rise to the sky.”
He smiled devilishly and muttered in a darkly subdued voice.
“That era… the era in which everything the world has built up will be burned…”
A bright blue life flowed from Jang Il-so’s eyes.
“This will start with my hands.”
Hu Jiaming trembled.
For most people, the two letters ‘stability’ are like a symbol of peace. But for this man, stability is not like that. There is only one reason why this man needs stability.
To avoid worrying about your back. Only then can you focus on destroying and killing your enemies.
What Jang Il-so does is a supreme good. However, the result of that goodness ultimately leads to ultimate evil. What should we call the act of doing extremely reasonable good and establishing an extremely unreasonable system of evil?
No, there is no need to call it.
‘Because it’s meaningless.’
Jang Il-so does not distinguish between good and evil. To achieve what you want, whether it is good or evil, you just do it without hesitation.
If he has to commit a conspiracy to gain the world, he will do so willingly, and even if he has to commit the greatest sin, he will not hesitate at all.
All he pursues is simply desire. A desire that burns so blackly that it is pure.
Jang Il-so, who had completely erased the anger from his face as if he had never done that before, lightly placed his hand on Ho Ji-myeong’s shoulder.
What you need at that time cannot be obtained through things like wealth. So… shouldn’t we use up all that wealth before it turns into useless pieces of paper?” “
… I understand.”
“Feel so good.”
Tak. Tak!
Jang Il-so, who lightly tapped Ho Ga-myeong’s shoulder twice, turned around. He then walked over to the table and picked up the glass on the table. He poured down his drink in one go and said, “In that sense.
”
“……yes?”
Jang Il-so said without even turning his head,
“This is getting a little annoying. I’m not patient enough to keep the knife behind my back.”
“You mean Haenam.”
Hu Jiaming, who immediately understood, nodded,
“Don’t worry, I’ve just received the news that the relationship between Gu Pail Fang and Tian Yu Meng has become irreparable.”
“hmm?”
“If this happens, they will not be able to move easily because they are keeping each other in check. Then Haenam will literally be in an isolated situation. I will take care of it.”
“you?”
“My side won’t be able to survive if I have you personally come forward to Haenam. Please leave it to me.”
“Hmm…”
Jang Il-so paused, slightly nasally. Then, he slowly nodded.
“That would be good too. I will do as you wish.”
“thank you.”
When Hu Jiaming, who had been deeply bowing, slowly raised his head, Jang Ilso had already lost interest in him and was looking out the window. There was no movement, as if he was deep in thought.
Ho Jiamyeong left the room as quietly as possible so as not to disturb Jang Ilso’s thoughts. After he was far enough away from the room, he started walking at a slightly faster pace.
‘Haenam…’
Hu Jiaming’s eyes flashed coldly.
In the meantime, I just left it alone so as not to give those encamped on the Yangtze River a reason to move. In fact, with the power of the Sapae-ryeon, Haenam could have been wiped out at any time.
‘It’s time to repay the humiliation I received at Maehwa Island.’
This is not simply revenge against the old faction.
I planned to make it clear to all those who criticize this achievement what the words of those who oppose the Sapaeryun are.
“In the Safa way.”
Hu Jiaming, with a cold smile, quickened his pace. A strange excitement began to radiate from his toes.
