Episode 1470 Let’s make history. (5)
“Joe, be careful out there!”
“They say if you do it wrong, an accident will happen!”
To add a little bit of exaggeration, the people who were carrying and moving a rock the size of a house kept coming out of the mouths of those who were carrying and moving it. “Is
n’t this too big…”
“You can’t cut it anymore.”
“Then they can grab it and move it… Shut it off.”
“Ugh! Let’s go!”
A chunk of rock, which about a dozen people had been forcibly carrying, suddenly tilted and fell to the side. Those who had become meditative flung themselves in all directions and closed their eyes tightly.
“……”
“……Huh?”
But no matter how long I waited, I couldn’t hear a thud. Puzzled, I carefully opened my eyes and saw a hand the size of a pot lid supporting the rock.
“Old palace lord?”
“Tsk tsk.”
Beast Palace Master Meng Xiao, who supported the rock he was trying to climb over with one hand, shouted,
“Are you saying that these people called Beast Palace are so embarrassed that they can’t even move a rock like this properly? They don’t even know how shameful they are!”
Those who heard this were shocked and lowered their heads. However, some people
seemed to be secretly becoming dissatisfied.
“Isn’t it too big in human terms? Please at least add more people…”
“What!”
At that moment, a loud roar exploded from Meng Xiao’s mouth.
“Do we need more people? You just have to become stronger! Are you refusing to become stronger and trying to make up for it with numbers?”
“Oh, no, that’s not it…”
“You guys are lacking! Get out of the way!”
Meng Xiao stretched out both hands and grabbed the rock.
“Urachaa!”
Then he lifted a rock that seemed to be ten times bigger than his body in one go and carried it on his shoulder.
“Hihi.”
“Oh my god…”
Not only did people from other sects who were doing their jobs, but also people familiar with Meng Xiao. Even the beast archers were so surprised that their eyes popped out. It was such an amazing sight.
In fact, Meng So calmly walked forward, carrying the rock on his back, as if this was only natural.
“Where can I move it?”
“It’s this way, my palace lord!”
“Take the lead.”
“yes!”
Everyone clicked their tongues as they watched Meng Xiao walking with a person in front of him. That is not something that can be done just because of strong internal strength. Wouldn’t it be something that only someone with extraordinary natural spiritual power can even try his hand at? “What are you doing? Hurry up and save the rest!
” “Bring your things with you!”
“Yes! Yes! Palace Lord!”
The Beast Archers suddenly came to their senses and ran enthusiastically. Someone watching burst out laughing.
“It’s not a joke, really.”
“I thought it was so ridiculous, but somehow it works.”
“That’s right.”
People shook their heads as if they couldn’t believe it. They
said they mobilized unmanned soldiers, but even so, this speed doesn’t make sense based on common sense.
One of the secrets to the transcendental speed was, no matter what anyone said, it was the lords and elders.
“Isn’t this the most amazing sight in the world? I never thought I would see a nobleman the size of a lord of a clan carrying a chunk of rock.”
“Where is the beast palace lord? The lord of the Tang family is nailing the shrine.”
“With a hammer?”
“What kind of nonsense is this? You blow the wood chisel like a ghost and hit dozens of pieces at a time? You finish the work that would take an average carpenter half a day to do in one breath.”
“Hehe… That’s right.”
Who doesn’t know that with the help of masters who have reached the peak of martial arts, they can earn not just a hundred per day, but even a thousand per day?
But no one in the world dares to ask Munju for such a favor. Those who are the lords of a clan, especially the lords of the five major kingdoms or the Saewoeogung, are not people who would do such trivial things.
The head of the Tang family works as a carpenter, and the head of the Beast Palace carries luggage? It is clear that most people in the world will tell you not to talk nonsense.
But something ridiculous is actually happening here.
“Woodwood!”
Namgung Dowi, the head of the Namgung family, ran down the newly created Hwaeum Avenue.
“Wood! There is no shortage of wood! Why on earth are you so slow?”
“Earlier, the volcano people told us to move the rocks first because they were running out of stone…”
“Wood is needed to build a house right away, so there are priorities in the job! Don’t be ridiculous, just
say you’ll move the wood first.”
“So, Lord So. “That’s…”
“Pay me that!”
As if there was no time to say more, Nangung Daowi forcibly snatched half of the cart that Beast Gung Dao was pulling.
“Oh no, this is us…”
“If I don’t finish my work before the sun sets today, the musketeer will try to kill me! Will you take a beating instead?”
The beast archers slumped their shoulders at the sight of Namgung Dowi, who had bloodshot eyes and was pushing hard.
“I’m so busy! Carry it quickly. Next cart!”
As he did when Nangong Daowi came, he ran down the road, blowing a cloud of dust.
“Ugh!”
“Run gently! Accidents will happen!”
People walking on the road flew in all directions to avoid the runaway cart.
Ecstatic laughter leaked from the mouths of those who were staring blankly.
“Am I even dreaming?”
“That’s right.”
“Oh, right… Ah, but when I look at it, I can see Namgung-se and Lord Beast Palace Lord Danga, but I can’t see the other Lords.”
The person who spoke smiled strangely. He had a slightly smug expression.
“If you think about it, shouldn’t we say that Hwasan Jangmun-in is the strongest among them? At least he doesn’t carry the burden, does he?”
Of course, Hwaeum people have a lot of affection for Cheon Woo-maeng. However, even so, it is nothing compared to volcanoes. While the lords of other sects were having a hard time, I felt secretly happy because I could not see Hwasan Jang.
But…
“… You. Are you sure you didn’t hear?”
“what?”
“… No. It’s better not to know.”
“Huh? What does that mean? What do you think Jang Mun-in is doing?”
“I’m not talking about Jangmun-in, but Taesang Jangmun-in.”
“Huh?”
The sad gaze of the man who spoke was directed to the distant royal palace.
Heok!
As he faced the newly piled ledger, the soul quickly slipped out of Hyeonjong’s eyes.
“This. “Do I need to do more?”
“No, Taesangjangmunin.”
“Is that so?”
“Not only this, but there are about three times more things left to do today.”
As he gritted his teeth, Hyeonjong’s beard trembled.
“In addition to this, you need to check the list of items to be purchased in Xi’an, and you need to rewrite the directories of the factions that are coming in from all directions to figure out the number of people. ah! And in this ledger, we have recorded the newly built halls in Hwaeum up to this point, so you need to check where and how each sect will be placed. And then this…”
“Stop… stop…”
Hyeonjong’s hands were shaking.
“Whose eyes are so sore, let’s rest for a bit…”
“Oh my, Taesangjangmun, Taesangjangmun of Hwasan.” “I can’t believe it hurts my eyes to look at this ledger. Everyone in the world will laugh. You’re good at telling jokes.”
Is it true? Do you really think your eyeballs are falling out right now? Do you know how old I am?
Hyeonjong clenched his fists. If I didn’t have eyes to see, I would have ripped my hair out several times already. Even though it was so painful, King Hyeonjong did not shout that he could not do this. No, I couldn’t shout.
It was because of the hell unfolding around him.
“The numbers aren’t right, are they?”
“I checked it 10 times again, how can it not be correct?”
“Can’t you see it here now? “Do you have knothole eyes?”
“Why is that wrong again?”
This time, Hyeonjong’s eyes turn to the other side.
“What’s written in the ledger here and the amount of mistakes in the warehouse are different! Which bastard did it
?”
“Yes? Let’s see. Ah, you lent this to Baekryeongpyo Bureau in Luoyang last month, right?”
“Why didn’t you write that down in the ledger, you crazy idiot? Do you think I’ve seen this again and again!”
Those with shadows below their eyes and all the way down to their chins were rummaging through ledgers almost as if they were struggling. Hyeonjong said in a slightly hoarse voice.
“…By the way, Commander-in-Chief.”
“Yes?”
“Does the top really have this much work to do?”
“Is that possible?”
“then…?”
“Think about it. It’s almost like building a new city. It would require more supplies than a typical shipyard would transport in a year.”
“……”
“Anyway, those Sacheon people, uh… their names…?”
“Sahae Merchant Association.”
“Yes yes! I was glad that the Sahae Chamber of Commerce came. “If it weren’t for them, our leader would have escaped from Hwaeum wearing a mask.”
At that moment, Hwang Mun-yak’s face appeared in Hyeonjong’s mind.
“… From what I saw earlier, it looked like he was just looking around outside.”
“Oh, didn’t you know?”
“What do you mean?”
“The owner of the merchant is going to Luoyang with Elder Hyeonyoung in a little while. He said he will purchase goods from the merchant there.”
“……”
“The purchase history ledger is almost the size of one cart, so one merchant won’t be able to get it all. Probably all merchants in Luoyang and Xi’an will have to rush in.”
“Why is Hyeonyoung going?”
“The owner of the merchant said that he had never seen someone so good at slashing the prices of goods in his life. Even the deceased previous Sangdan lord wasn’t like that.”
Hyeonjong was speechless for a moment. The image of Hyeonyeong gathering the Sangang lords and swearing at them was unavoidable.
But Hyeonjong quickly erased that image. It was out of respect and shame. And it was a matter of living from there. He gestured with his chin to the ledgers in front of him.
“… Then when will this end?”
“From what I heard, the people from the Four Seas Merchants Association who were on the commercial trip are also said to be coming to Shaanxi. They say you can join in about three days, so wouldn’t you have some free time from then on?”
Hyeonjong’s face instantly turned red.
Three days? Do you want me to do this for three more days? While not letting you sleep?
“This is too much. ..”
It was at that very moment.
Wow!
The side door of Hyeonjong’s inner room burst open, and ledgers spilled out inside.
“Oh, are you okay? I think you fainted.”
“What makes this gentleman so weak?”
“Shh, be careful. This person is from the green forest.”
“Eh? “I thought a scholar from the palace had come.”
Hyeonjong looked blankly at the person who was showered with a pile of ledgers. Lim So-byeong, who looked like he could just be called a corpse based on his facial expression, was trembling while holding the ledger in his hand. Even at a glance, Hyeonjong could see it
. It seemed like five times more than what was supposed to be done.
“Wouldn’t you be hurt if you do this? We need to move it…”
“Be quiet. These are all separately ordered by the Hwasan Sword Association. “It’s not something we’ll do except ourselves
.”
“…Then we should do it.”
Hyeonjong’s eyes began to sparkle. I never thought the day would come when he would sympathize with the position of a bandit rather than a disciple of Hwasan.
Of course, the Hwasan disciple on the other side is not an ordinary disciple but a damn disciple, but…
Hyeonjong asked with his conscience.
“Isn’t that a bit excessive?”
“That’s a bit true.”
The commander-in-chief of the Galaxy Sangbo, who was carrying the ledger again, frowned.
“But I heard that the ledger you see is related to personnel and weapons, so other people shouldn’t see it… Ah! The Taesangjangmun scholar is Cheonwoo. Since you are the leader of the alliance, of course you can take a look. Then, how can you help me a little?”
Hyunjong, who was looking at me with pity, stood up without hesitation. And then he approached the fallen Lim So-byeong.
The Commander-in-Chief nodded his head. As expected, a volcano of consultation and recognition…
chin! chin!
At that moment, Hyeonjong kicked the pile of ledgers and pushed them into the room across from them. King Hyeonjong pushed the convulsing Lim So-byeong and his limp hands inside, slammed the door shut, and locked the latch.
“……”
“Let’s keep doing what we’re doing. Did you say that’s enough?”
… Let’s pretend he didn’t see this. The commander quietly erased the scene from a moment ago from his mind.
