Episode 838 The agreement document was still there. (3)
Wow!
A mountain of hermits was piled up.
Seeing the money piled up in front of him seemed like something he would be happy to smile about, but in reality, Hyeonjong’s eyes as he looked at the hermit in front of him were full of indescribable sadness.
“Heeheehee.”
“….”
“I’m giving it to you cheaply because I’m a writer. If it were like everyone else, I would have received twice as much. Ugh, this really shouldn’t be like this. “Originally, the closer you are to each other, the more certain you should be in making money transactions, but I’m too weak-hearted, so it’s a no-brainer.”
Hyeonjong, who was listening to Cheongmyeong whispering, looked up at the ceiling in silence.
‘My ancestor.’
sorry.
Hwasan has now become a place where disciples pay usury to Jang Mun-in.
Hyeonjong was in despair and held his face with both hands.
When it comes to debt and usury, the person who wakes up from his sleep is King Hyeonjong. When I think about what I once suffered, the back of my head still hurts.
But I never thought I would have to borrow money from someone else, not just my student, and have to pay interest.
“Isn’t it compound interest?”
“You just have to pay the deposit within the agreed upon date? But why do you even care about that?”
That’s something I’ve heard a lot somewhere….
“What happens if… I don’t meet that deadline?”
“no way. You’ll pay it back on time, so what’s the point? lol.”
Hyeonjong closed his eyes tightly.
They say a tiger comes in where a wolf has been defeated, and a goby comes in where a debtor has been resolved.
He’s my friend….
But Hyunyoung, who was with him for most of his time(?), seemed to think a little differently.
“Money transactions must be done with certainty! Ah! “He seems like an amazing guy.”
As I watched Hyeonyoung bobbing her head as if she was satisfied, I had the urge to throw that chin rim off the back of her neck. Hyeonjong glared at Cheongmyeong, who was laughing again.
That fair bastard!
That guy who doesn’t back down and is sure of his calculations!
…uh? Is this a compliment?
At that time, Hyeonyoung’s eyes fell on Ohgeom.
“you guys!”
“yes?”
“You are banned from personal spending for three months from now. “There is no bonus!”
“yes? “Why why?”
Jo Geol asked with wide eyes. I was so surprised that my voice turned upside down.
Since Hwasan’s disciples spend most of their time training, there is no room to make money. Only those whose families are wealthy receive money from home, but most of them have long since received no support from their families since Hwasan earned money and paid allowances to his disciples.
But suddenly the rust stops! There was no lightning like this.
“then? Have you tried to use other people’s money to give alms and spend all your own money? “Are you even condescending?”
“…Uh, that’s….”
Hyeonyoung said firmly.
“They say that talent is done by bears and people make money! You are the perfect match! If you want to cooperate and benefit people, then of course you have to take some losses. “Why are you taking everything you need and only making yourself feel better with other people’s money?”
“Ah, no matter what, you took away that small amount of pocket money! You’d rather eat a flea’s liver! You truly have no blood or tears…”
“This bastard?”
At that moment, Yun Jong’s eyes widened and he was about to throw a fist and throw away Jo Geol’s chin, when something flew in like a thunderbolt and kicked Jo Geol.
“Kyaul!”
“….”
Yoonjong swallowed dry saliva when he saw the legs stretched out in front of him.
“I don’t have a long hair. “You should get scolded.”
That’s right. accident.
That’s correct. But that doesn’t mean you can’t kick everyone… Your thinking has changed a lot.
Yu Yi-seol slowly folded her long legs and calmly knelt down again and raised her arms.
Yoonjong, seeing her eyes, also flinched and quickly put his arms close to his ears.
“…I will do that, Elder.”
Along with Baekcheon’s soft reply, the other five swords also nodded.
“I will.”
“All right.”
“Ugh… If you’re going to do this, answer before I get hit…”
“You went crazy before I could answer.”
Ogum sighed deeply. However, he did not seem to be very dissatisfied as he was stung by the comment that he was trying to show off with other people’s money.
Giving means giving away something of one’s own, not giving something of someone else’s.
At that time, Hyeonjong, with slightly complicated feelings, quietly moved the hermit in front of him to the side. Then, I calmed down and looked around.
“Anyway, so…”
Before I knew it, the volcano’s leading figures had gathered in the room.
“Let’s discuss the current situation… okay, let’s discuss it.”
“Yes, Jang Mun-in.”
The reputation of writing a long sentence had already been lost, but it didn’t matter since it wasn’t that great of a reputation to begin with.
“As you may have heard, the situation around us is not good. “After the Gupa Ilbang and the Five Daesae signed a non-aggression pact on the Yangtze River, this area became Muju Commune.”
When Hyeonjong looked at Hyeonjong, Hyeonjong nodded and answered.
“Currently, the area around the Yangtze River is literally seething with evil factions. It is said that even magic bandits who normally do not appear are running rampant.”
“Anyway, you shameless thieves!”
“We should throw them all into the river and drown them!”
“This is why they are thieves!”
Hyeonjong glanced at a corner of the room with a slightly awkward expression as reactions came from all over the place. It was because I was concerned about one person who was becoming increasingly discouraged.
Hyeonjong cleared his throat.
“…be careful what you say.”
“Ah…”
The people who finally noticed the Green Forest King crouched in the corner scratched the back of their heads with a slightly sorry face.
“That wasn’t my intention, Green Forest King.”
“Yes cancer. Not all thieves are the same. “Living bandits are a bit better.”
“So, you are a thief. “What’s different?”
“Cheongmyeong, please be quiet.”
However, Lim So-byeong continued to explain the phenomenon calmly, as if he was not even visible.
“As a result, the damage to the civilian population is severe. Being harassed by thieves is not only a problem, but merchant ships cannot operate properly, so they are unable to work and those who drive fishing boats are also unable to go out on the river. Of course, we have no choice but to be in poverty…”
“Hmm.”
Hyeonjong thought for a moment and looked at Baekcheon quietly.
“What was it like seeing it in person?”
“It’s serious. This is not a one-day or two-day incident, but has been going on since the war began on the Yangtze River… After a while, there may be more deaths from starvation.”
Hyeonjong nodded.
Of course, there are people who have seen all of this and know about it, but it is important to let everyone know what they know from above. This is especially true for volcanoes. Hyeonjong said after confirming that everyone understood the situation.
“The wealth of Qinghai Volcano at the top of the galaxy is being transferred to the Yangtze River. “As soon as the grain and wealth arrive, we will put out the urgent fire, so please help everyone.”
“Yes, Jang Mun-in.”
At that time, Hyeonyoung, who had been listening quietly, opened her mouth with a slightly displeased look.
“There are limits to mercy.”
“know.”
“Jang Moon-in. I am also a Taoist. I am not dissatisfied with donating my wealth to save the people. But that cannot be a fundamental solution. A volcano’s treasure trove isn’t eternal, right? “I can’t take responsibility forever.”
Hyeonjong agreed with that and nodded. Worldly affairs cannot be solved with the mind alone. Of course, realistic aspects must also be taken into consideration.
In this situation, there is one person who gives the most accurate opinion. Hyeonjong’s eyes turned to that place.
“Cheongmyeong. “What do you think?”
“hmm.”
Cheongmyeong tapped his cheek a couple of times with his finger and opened his mouth.
“Sapa guys don’t have patience, so they can’t make a fuss for long. It’s like that now, but soon it will lose its strength and become quiet. Then, most things will soon become normal. The problem is that the waterway is blocked and the workers have no place to work right now…”
Cheongmyeong shrugged.
“We already had a shortage of manpower, so we hired workers. “It would be nice to just bring in free manpower and do it for them, but… bandits are people who don’t know how to work in the first place, so if they keep doing this, problems may arise.”
Then, Cheongmyeong, who was irritated for no reason, glared at Lim So-byeong.
“If the King of Green Forest had some dignity, he could have taken a picture and pressed it.”
“…I’m sorry for not being dignified.”
“You just need to know.”
Hyeonjong sighed lightly and said to Hyeonyoung.
“So, let’s spend our money for a while. “Aren’t our volcanoes also responsible for the situation on the Yangtze River becoming like this?”
“Even if you weren’t responsible, you would have used it.”
“haha. “Please understand.”
Hyeonyoung pouted, but no longer objected to Hyeonjong’s words.
When the surrounding noise died down a little, Lim So-byeong cleared his throat and quietly spoke.
“I will tell you that the reason Jang Moon-in left me here to hold the meeting was to hear my opinion as well.”
“I just started without thinking…”
“….”
“Please tell me.”
Lim So-byeong began his explanation in a slightly timid voice.
“Aren’t merchants from the Yangtze River flocking to Jiujiang now? “If we hire workers there at a good price, even the workers’ families will come together.”
“I guess so.”
“Then this becomes a city.”
“Hmm? city?”
Hyeonjong blinked at the sudden words.
“Isn’t that too much of a stretch?”
But Lim So-byeong smiled and shook his head lightly.
“A city isn’t that big of a deal. Any place where many people live together is a city. Even if we don’t do anything, the people who gathered will build houses on their own, and if merchants see those people and gather, a city will be created in no time.”
“Umm. “When I think about it, I guess so.”
Wow!
Lim So-byeong spread out his fan and covered it under his eyes. Both eyes sparkled.
“Then what we need to do is to securely take over that city and turn it into the territory of Cheonwoomaeng.”
While everyone was nodding their heads as if fascinated by the mentor-like appearance, Cheongmyeong’s eyes suddenly widened.
“How dare you spread a fan in front of a long-time writer? “Aren’t you going to get off?”
“….”
Lim So-byeong, who became sullen, quietly lowered his fan and continued speaking.
“The city provides money and connections. Now, Hwasan, Cheonwoomaeng, and Nokrim have seized an unprecedented opportunity. “With this city as the center, we can exert influence throughout the Yangtze River and further spread the majesty of Heaven’s Majesty throughout the Central Plains.”
“Where did you sneakily insert greenery into it? “I’m going to lose it!”
“Oh, don’t be so mean, just add something! “You also applied to join the Cheonwoo Alliance, right?”
“why? “Why don’t you go and take the civil service examination?”
“Actually, I actually tried it…”
Hyeonjong sighed and covered his face.
‘Please, let’s have a meeting, guys.’
Why are two things so crazy that there is only one…
Hyeonjong quickly opened his mouth before his words could go any further.
“So, King Green Forest, what do you think we should do about Hwasan… or Cheon U-maeng?”
“You can just do it.”
“yes?”
Lim So-byeong smiled.
“Jang Moon-in, you just have to do what you have done so far. “There is nothing more to do.”
“…Is that okay?”
“yes.”
Lim So-byeong nodded slowly. And he spoke seriously.
“Those who have already gathered here remember the name of the volcano and accept it as their protector. So, they will naturally have a sense of belonging to the volcano… LOL! Cough! Ah-oh…. for a moment.”
Lim So-byeong coughed loudly several times and continued speaking with a red face.
“If they accept Hwasan as their sect, they will consume Hwasan things first and then try to sell Hwasan goods. They push the volcano, and the volcano protects them, and naturally exploits them like this… No, that… lyre? Oh no… what the fuck did they say about this?”
Hwasan’s disciples narrowed their eyes and looked at Lim So-byeong, as if saying so.
‘That thief…’
‘So, that’s why they’re called bandits.’
‘Look at that thing going on in my head. It’s the same as Cheongmyeong.’
As if to prove the silent accusation, Cheongmyeong quickly stepped forward to help Lim So-byeong.
“Virtuous cycle! A virtuous cycle!”
“Oh that’s right! Virtuous cycle! A virtuous cycle will occur. Then all is well. Ha ha ha ha ha.”
Lim So-byeong smiled brightly. Then, he suddenly muttered something with a confused expression on his face.
“No, but it shouldn’t be this easy… It’s ridiculous to think about it. If this was going to happen like this, why did they do the banditry? We should also have political factions. If you just pretend to be nice, people will automatically give you money… Wow, the more I think about this, the more unfair it seems?”
“I need to get my mind together.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. “I’ll take a moment.”
“….”
Lim So-byeong, who noticed that disbelief was pouring in, smiled awkwardly.
“So, in conclusion, what we need to do is to seize the commercial area of the Yangtze River and protect and protect those who have been chasing that commercial area.”
“…I didn’t start this with this much thought in mind.”
Lim So-byeong was filled with complaints at Hyeonjong’s mutterings.
If you think about it, all of this is a meal prepared by the Sapae-ryeon and the Gu-file Bang. You can swallow this meal whole just by raising a spoon.
Building a city on the Yangtze River, crowding people into it, and putting it into their own territory? This is a difficult task even for the country. But something ridiculous was happening.
“The problem is, how will those Sapa bastards get out?…”
It was at that moment that a little worry bloomed in Lim So-byeong’s eyes.
“Jang Moon-in! “Do you have a long essay?”
“huh?”
Hyeonjong turned his head and looked toward the door. An urgent voice came from outside.
“I am Hong Dae-gwang of openness! “I stopped by because there was something I needed to know.”
“Oh Hong Buntaju. “Please eat now.”
When the people at the entrance opened the door, Hong Dae-gwang came inside quickly.
Hong Dae-gwang, who had just paid homage to King Hyeonjong, opened his mouth with a dark look on his face.
“Jang Mun-in….Sapae-ryeon did this.”
Hearing those words, Hyeonjong’s face hardened.
