Chapter 147
Qin Weiqing let out a deep sigh.
“I have to work as soon as I return to my family.”
“You haven’t been away for several days.”
“That’s because of unavoidable circumstances!”
“Just because you’re angry like now doesn’t mean your work will decrease.”
“Wupin, spare me. If I do this, I will really die of overwork.”
Despite the earnest and pathetic entreaty, Hupin answered coldly.
“Finish your work and die. We will hold a grand funeral.”
“… … There are no demons. Are you really human?”
Waiting for Jin Wi-gyeong, who had already returned to Jinga in Taewon half a day earlier, was a pile of work.
Because he had been away for about 10 days, hundreds of bamboo sticks were stretched not only on the table but also on the floor.
“How can I do this alone!”
“You can. You’ve done well so far, what are you new to?”
“Isn’t there a lot of people like this in your hometown?
No, there aren’t that many records in Shanxi?”
“Don’t you think that you should lower your eyes a little?”
“You mean it’s my problem?”
“A dozen people have already been there.
In my eyes, they were all decent Confucian students, but it was a mistake to select only two.”
“What is a good student? Don’t you have eyes?”
I couldn’t accept it unconditionally just because I learned the science.
Taewon’s true value is the unmistakable Moorim school.
It doesn’t matter how many times you memorized the Four Books and Three Classics (四書三繪) or what scholars you studied under.
The talent Jin Wi-gyeong wanted was a pragmatist with a flexible way of thinking, not a stiff Confucian student living on the lips of Confucius and Mencius.
“Two of them were the only usable ones.”
I still do not regret that choice. His resolute answer made Wipin pierce his ears.
“Oh, is that so? So, where are those two people and what are they doing now?”
“… … that, that.”
Wei Peng took the place of Qin Wei-qing, who was speechless for a moment.
“You worked all night for four days and ran away, didn’t you?”
“Even, who ran away? One’s mother is in critical condition… …
“I recognized him after he disappeared. My mother passed away ten years ago.”
“… … okay?”
“The other person said he was going to the side for a while, but he left it that way. Am I wrong?”
“Kheu-hum, kuh-hum!”
“Your lord has mastered martial arts, so even if you stay up all night, you will be fine, but those friends are not. They are good people who have never read a single line of the law in their entire lives.”
“Ah, I know. That’s why they pay generously.”
“If it had been fifteen more days, the hermit would have gone to the bereaved family.”
“Do you have anything more to say?”
“… … There is none.”
“If you don’t have one, start working now.
Confucian students who come from next time will accept all of them if they are useful.”
It was at that moment that Qin Yujing nodded with a gloomy face and picked up a bamboo stick.
One of the escort soldiers waiting outside the office cautiously entered and delivered an unexpected news.
“Who?”
Qin Wei-qing answered Yu-feng’s question.
“It’s a messenger sent by comrade Doo Commander from Shanseo Province.”
“I heard that too. However, if it is the commanding comrade… … The person who is King Sangsan’s closest aide and the powerful?”
“yes. On the subject of the visit, there was a lot of talk about getting a high-ranking military post.”
“Yes, it was.”
I also remember hearing Jin Wi-gyeong. He heard rumors about a eunuch sitting at the top of the military department and single-handedly ruling the young king.
“I don’t even have a one-on-one, so what’s going on all of a sudden?”
“What could happen?”
“Could it be because of the Three Gongja?”
“Under the circumstances, the possibility of that is very strong. Let the messenger inside first.”
yes.”
“Ah, just in case you don’t know, call Mu-gyeong too.”
“All right.”
Not long after Yu Feng nodded at his subordinate, a person entered the office.
Wearing light armor in moderation as if angles were measured.
Even if he pretended to be a member of the military, he was the messenger sent by Hong Jin.
“Are you going to be the head of the Jin family in Taewon?”
Qin Weiqing nodded.
“I am Jin Mo. Let’s put aside the troublesome introductions to each other. Why are you here?”
“I have come to convey the words of Comrade Do Commander.”
“Is it something related to my brother?”
“Yes. They are coming here together.”
“together?”
“That’s right. It will arrive in half an hour.”
Qin Weiqing listened to this and gently stroked his chin.
In fact, it is Hong Jin, the second person in Shanxi Province. He was not a person who would move for no reason.
It would have been unexpected if he had only sent letters, with whom he had no contact until now.
“I don’t remember taking a pre-arrangement.”
Wi-Pang added a word with a cold expression on his face.
“Even though Comrade Do Commander is a high-ranking official who does the country’s work, this is clearly disregarding the family.
Do you know?”
“That, that… … Beads of sweat formed on the messenger’s forehead.
Even if he is weak, his body has learned the martial arts of the military. His heart was forced to sink down in the eyes of the climax master called the ghost sword.
“What business are you coming for?”
“I-I was just ordered to preach the word… …
“There is no such thing as a master.”
It was Jin Wi-gyeong who saved the messenger who had become restless.
“Wuppin, stop. So what exactly did Comrade Doh say?”
“Comrade Commander Do told me to apologize in advance for the sudden rudeness. that? go… … The messenger took out a cylinder from his bosom and handed it to Jin Wei-gyeong. Inside the cylinder the size of an adult’s palm was a rolled white paper.
“What is this?”
“I haven’t heard anything about it. He said he would know if I just told him.”
“hmm.”
Jin Wi-gyeong, frowning, unfolded the paper, then the door to the office opened and a second guest entered.
“Did you call?”
“older brother?”
Qin Yuqing looked at the paper in his hand without speaking for a while, then raised his head.
”Are you here?”
yes. I heard that you were looking for me during training… … But why did you call me?”
“It’s because a guest of honor is coming. I need to get ready to meet you.”
“Princess, do you mean?”
“Lord. Are you a VIP? Do you need to go out to meet me?”
Hupin frowned and retorted.
“What kind of honored guest are you coming without saying anything? An uninvited guest.”
Even though there is a messenger in front of his nose, he does not hold back. Considering the current position of Taewon Jinga in Shanxi Province, it is not wrong at all.
However, Qin Yuqing quietly handed over the paper.
“Look at this and talk again.”
“What is this?”
“A sight is worth a thousand words.”
“It’s okay if you just say it coolly… … Wipin’s voice gradually faded and then cut off. His eyes were constantly moving and trembling.
It took a while for his lips to open as he stared at the paper.
“A distinguished guest is coming.”
“yes?”
“yes. you’re right.”
The eyes of the two turned to Jin Moo-gyeong, who was still standing at a distance, not knowing why.
“No-gyeong-ah.”
“Lee Gongja.”
“yes? ”
“You said you came from training.”
“I smell sweat.”
“It’s natural to sweat during training, isn’t it?”
“Wash up and come.”
“Wash up now.”
Jin Moo-kyung asked with a frustrated face at the reaction of the two people who couldn’t understand the reason.
“Who the hell is coming to do this?”
Qin Yuqing and Wei Peng answered at the same time.
“big hand”
“That’s a very big hand, too.”
Wipin shook the paper in his hand. It was a 1,000-nyang slip issued by the Gold Star Battlefield, which was said to be usable anywhere in the world.
“This is not just a thousand dollars. It’s a thousand hermits.”
A thousand nyang of a hermit is equivalent to 100,000 nyang in iron coins. For Taewon Jin-ga, who was pouring money everywhere, it was like rain during a drought.
Qin Wei-qing has been serious about his second brother for the first time in a long time.
“Mugyeong-ah, let’s wash now.”
As soon as I got off the carriage, a word spontaneously came out.
“Wow, Sibal… … I can’t help it if I don’t want to curse. This was written in letters the size of a gate on a fluttering cloth on a towering wall.
Comrade Dojihwi, the day Taewon Jinga came, not the day Buddha came, what is this?
I couldn’t bear to raise my head due to embarrassment, but Hong-jin, who came down after me, grabbed my stomach and laughed.
’ ‘Oh, that’s more than I thought.”
“Can we become ball friends with our eldest brother? How on earth do you get such hospitality… …
“Gongja Qin, I don’t have balls.”
“Ah, ah. sorry. I’m really sorry.”
A huge mistake. If there are no sticks, how can fertilized eggs remain?
Cheongpung came and comforted me as I struggled with guilt.
“My grandfather, a benefactor, said that a person who is not observant has no friends around him. But don’t worry. I’ll be your benefactor’s ball friend.”
You don’t need it, you bastard.
Hong-jin said to me who was trying to swallow the curse.
“Gongja Jin, do you know what makes relationships between people strong? It’s just a treasure. It is said that gold and silver treasures are also haunted by ghosts, but people who live them are appalled, aren’t they?”
“then?”
“You said you were going to give me a present. It’s some kind of bribe.”
If it’s money, even ghosts will work, la.
I agree to a certain extent, but it bothers me that the target is Jinwigyeong.
Hong-jin, who expresses him as a snob who fell for a bribe, whom he already considers his older brother deep in his heart, does not look good.
Hong-jin said with a smile on her face, as if that expression had also been revealed in my expression.
“Did I say too much? But that’s normal. Who doesn’t like riches?”
“Anyway, he is our older brother. Don’t think that you baked and boiled Taewon Jinga’s sogaju with just a few pennies.”
“Confucius Qin… … “
Hongjin’s eyes widened at the low voice.
“How many pennies? I gave you a thousand nyang.”
“That hermit???… how much?”
“A thousand hermits. 100,000 in iron coins.”
Now I have a rough idea of Moorim’s prices and currency.
The annex of Bonghwanggaekjan, which can be called a luxury hotel, was said to cost 50 nyang per night for a hermit, and it was close to doubling the living expenses for a family of four for a year.
‘In modern terms, tens of millions of won.’
If it is a hermit of 1,000 nyang, it is 20 times that.
So, Hong Jin threw hundreds of millions of won at once.
“A lot… … yes?”
“He gave me a lot. This time, I used my strength too.”
“No, but you gave me too much.”
“For future relationships. And right now Taewon Jinga, right now there must be more missing than gathering riches? It doesn’t end with winning the war and occupying the enemy’s territory.”
“Ah, yes.”
“At times like this, the help you give really feels great. I also found out because I exchanged a lot of bribes. Oh sure… … Hongjin narrowed her eyes and continued.
“I really like Gongja Jin, so I wrote a bit more, you know how I feel?”
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a hard foreign body feeling in my buttocks.
I wake up to the touch of a poke.
No, don’t you have this baby? ‘
I swear it’s the most creepy moment in my entire life so far.
‘Yes, you die and I die. Let’s go to war once more!’
Turning around at lightning speed, what caught my eye was a silver nugget half the size of my palm. what did he say about that? Eun Won-bo?
“Here, this is my allowance.”
Oh right. he was a goon
I calmed my fluttering heart and answered.
“Go, thank you.”
“huh. Buy and eat at Bingdang Lake.”
“Benefactor, can you take me with you when you buy something to eat?”
As Cheongpung licked his lips and interrupted, a familiar voice rang from behind.
“Heh heh, I’ll tell the hostesses separately, so just talk as much as you like. Isn’t that right, Hupin?”
“I will build a mountain to Bingdang Lake.”
“Who is that guy? Bingdang Horor, you’re not even a child.”
You can tell who it is without looking at it. Turning around with a welcome smile, I found a scene that left me speechless.
flutter, flutter.
Qin Yuqing and Yu Peng are smiling broadly.
And Jin Moo-gyeong, whose face turned red.
In the hands of the three of them, a small piece of cloth fluttering in the wind.
Long live the great country! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!
Your Highness King Sangsan, may you be a holy soldier!
What did I say to Hongjin earlier?
Didn’t I tell you not to think that you grilled and boiled Sogaju from Dae Taewon Jinga with just a few pennies?
‘Sibeol, a horn that is grilled and boiled.’
I rode this enough, rode it.
