Episode 1455. Please take care of me in the future. (5)
“Hmm.”
My darting eyes scanned the booklet over and over again. Cheongmyeong’s eyes soon became as narrow as thread after checking the ledgers submitted by each clan several times.
“Hmmmm.”
When he took his eyes off the ledger and looked at the lords of each sect, everyone’s faces became strangely distorted and trembled.
‘To find fault again.’
‘Who suggested that this human be made a musketeer?’
‘I’m not?’
It’s strange.
In fact, giving Qingmyeong the position of commander-in-chief cannot be said to be particularly remarkable. It is also true that Cheongmyeong was already receiving such treatment implicitly.
However, when he was given the title of ‘musketeer’, which was nothing more than a pretense, the look in his eyes became strangely uncomfortable.
“Is this all?”
“⋯⋯.”
“really?”
“Hmm.”
Tang Gunak slightly cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
“The party has everything…”
“Ah, the party is okay. “I know it’s completely burned down.”
⋯⋯Danggunak looked at the distant sky with a slightly hurt face.
“Hey, Green Forest King.”
“yes?”
“Is this it?”
“Haha… How much money can these bandits have? “Even if you scrape everything from the wild vegetables…”
“What about Maehwa Island?”
“Oh my, the musketeer will get better! You’ve managed the money we earned on Maehwa Island thoroughly, right? “We fooled the ghosts, we fooled the ledger to the volcano…”
“That’s money earned there, not green forest property.”
“yes?”
Lim So-byeong tilted his head as if wondering what that meant. Then Cheongmyeong gestured towards him.
“You worked for the kids at Maehwa Island and gave them a bonus, right?”
“Isn’t it obvious? If you work hard and don’t give in, you will be taken to the government office. “You clearly know how much we fear government offices.”
“And you took that money back as a repayment and took it back, right?”
“⋯⋯Yes?”
“Where did it go?”
Lim So-byeong’s mouth slowly opened. There was fear in his eyes, as if he was seeing a ghost. How on earth can you do that…
“Anyway, these Safa bastards do tricks every day. Do you want to spit it out or spit it out?”
“lol. “Actually, I didn’t mean to eat that, but I wanted to give it all to the Commander-in-Chief.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, just write it down.”
“⋯⋯num.”
Lim So-byeong fell back, muttering. Cheongmyeong checked the ledger carefully once again.
“So, now there’s nothing missing?”
“I wrote everything down clearly.”
“Hmm.”
Finally, Cheongmyeong spoke after folding the ledger and tapping it on his palm.
“You did a great job.”
The faces of the door owners were cruelly distorted. That damn guru…
“Anyway, I guess I can give it a try at this level.”
At that time, Seol So-baek slowly raised his hand.
“But…”
“why?”
“Dojo, seal. “I’m just curious, how much do you plan on taking from there?”
Everyone’s ears perked up. I couldn’t bring myself to say anything out of curiosity, but it was actually one of the things I was most curious about.
‘Is hemp discounted?’
‘I’m sure it’s not Sahal, right? ‘He’s a bleeding person too?’
‘Even the devil wouldn’t go over five percent! That just means ruin it.’
Everyone had their own expectations and waited for Cheongmyeong’s mouth to open. However, the answer that came out of his mouth was slightly, very slightly different from their expectations.
“I don’t know.”
“yes?”
“I don’t know. “I have to try to find out, how can I know?”
Seol Sobaek’s eyes were as round as ice crystals in the North Sea.
“Well, what is that…”
“We don’t know how long the war will last or what will happen in the future, so how can we predict how much money will be spent from now on? “That can only be expected from the attacking party, and even Zhuge Gong-myeong doesn’t know how much it will cost from the blocking party.”
“I think I know the resonance…”
“Kaaak!”
As Cheongmyeong cursed, Seol Sobaek flinched and arched his neck.
“Hmm, anyway… I have a rough idea of my assets, so I’ll use them well depending on the situation.”
“⋯⋯Yes.”
“Oh, and I think we should make money or grain for things that are difficult to use right away.”
At those words, everyone turned to look at one person. As everyone gazed upon him, Nangong Daowi’s cheeks trembled convulsively.
“Um, us?”
“no no. Well, I’m not singling out Namgoong, but there are things like bases, land, and engravings that are difficult to use for money right now. That ‘immovable property’.”
“Well, aren’t we the only sect here that has that ‘immovable property’?”
“ah? Is that how it works?”
A tendon bulged on Nangung Dowi’s forehead.
“Dojo, seal. “That’s not possible!”
“huh? why?”
“No, I’m not doing this because I feel like it would be a waste to sell those pitchers or baserunners! Don’t you know the situation in the midfield right now? It’s a situation where you don’t know where the fire will be right now, but who will buy the pitch and run the bases? “No matter how ignorant I am about commercial transactions, I know this much.”
“Hoo. so?”
“If you sell these things now, you will never get the full price! “I’m glad I get it for half price!”
“Oh yeah?”
Cheongmyeong nodded as if he understood. The moment Namgung Dowi was pleased to see her seeming to understand, a heartbreaking voice of Cheongmyeong was heard.
“That’s none of my business. “It’s not even my money.”
⋯⋯Nangung Dowi’s shoulders sank to his knees.
“Well, when it comes to money, it’s not the price that’s important, but spending it in a timely manner is important.”
“Ah, no, but that’s just to some degree…”
“But since this bastard treats me like the head of the family, my neck is strained and my stomach is filled with oil. Is now the time to make money? “No matter how money-crazy you guys are, you have to choose the right time and place!”
Namgung Dowi’s eyes became hazy with moisture. Yes, you are not wrong. But is it really right to hear those words from that person’s mouth?
At that time, Tang Gunak quietly placed his hand on Nam Gung Dao Wei’s shoulder.
“Cheer up…”
“⋯⋯The head of the family said that we should put that nobleman in the position of governor, right?”
“Now, didn’t you agree too?”
“Namgoong will not forget this.”
Cold sweat broke out down Tang Gunak’s spine when he saw Nangung Dowi’s eyes filled with bitter sorrow. Don’t say that so seriously, you idiot.
“Aren’t we all being taken away too?”
“Looking at you, there’s nothing left anyway.”
“What, man?”
There was a sense of helplessness in Ogeom’s eyes as he watched from afar the squabbling between Namgung Dowi and Tang Gunak.
“⋯⋯As expected.”
Baekcheon muttered and shook his head with a tired face. Yoonjong agreed.
“There’s nothing the owners can do.”
“That’s right, you shouldn’t give that guy a bad name.”
“Get rid of it. Even to the inside.”
“⋯⋯Ah, accident. Still, the death penalty leaves at least some relief. How kind you have become. “It seems quite like a Taoist these days, huh?”
“⋯⋯Sosoya. “Don’t say scary things.”
“It’s true, right?”
“That’s why it’s a scary word.”
“Ah…”
Jo Geol joked with Dang So So and laughed. Yoonjong, who was standing next to him, glanced at Jogeol. I couldn’t read anything other than joy on that face. Yunjong turned his head and instantly made eye contact with Baekcheon.
As Baekcheon quietly shook his head, Yunjong also nodded silently.
widely!
At that time, the sound of Cheongmyeong putting the ledger down on the cart was heard.
“Well, anyway, thank you for your cooperation with the investigation.”
“Okay.”
“What…”
Muffled groaning sounds came from all over the place. Cheongmyeong quietly looked at the countless people. These are the people who will become the mainstay of the Cheonwoo Alliance. And from now on, these were the people he had to lead.
“Honestly, it won’t be easy.”
“⋯⋯.”
“We made some mistakes, but in the end, the Sapae-ryeon bastards benefited too much. And the old faction will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to trample on us.”
Tang Gunak nodded with a heavy face. The one who gave the old faction its justification was none other than the party. That is why he also decided to give up everything and join the army.
“In the meantime, I need to do something good.”
Cheongmyeong had a very perplexed attitude. At this, anxiety slowly spread across the owners’ faces.
“Hwasan Sword Association.”
“yes?”
“It’s good to say we’ll do our best, but to be honest… we didn’t say we would follow your orders just to hear those words. “Aren’t there any more specific plans?”
Cheongmyeong shrugged his shoulders calmly.
“I have a plan.”
“What is that?”
“Well, we have to prepare in various ways… but the first thing to do is to protect the house.”
“house?”
“I already told you. We strengthen our defenses with the money we earn from selling useless things. “We need to provide a place where all these people, as well as those who will immigrate from Anhui or those who will come from the North Sea, can live.”
Tang Gunak’s eyes twitched slightly. This wasn’t the answer he wanted to hear.
“Of course that’s what needs to be done. But… it’s a little surprising. “I never thought the words ‘guard it tightly’ would come out of your mouth.”
“Protect it? “Me?”
A doubt crossed Tang Gunak’s face. What does this mean?
“Hey, I got tired of protecting it. “Now, I’m tired of running back and forth as they move.”
“⋯⋯But why?”
“Tsk tsk. This is why noblemen who don’t know war…”
Tang Junak frowned at Qingming’s words. At that time, Lim So-byeong opened his mouth.
“The most important thing in an offensive is supply.”
“⋯⋯supply?”
“No matter how unmanned you are, you can’t fight without eating. Therefore, the most important thing before an attack is supply, a supply line to supply that supply, and above all…”
Lim So-byeong folded the fan and slapped his hand.
“It is important to properly secure a base from which the supply begins. “Is this what you mean?”
“⋯⋯Why is that head acting like a bandit leader?”
“When I was born, I found out that my father was a bandit leader. What should I do?”
Cheongmyeong nodded.
“yes that’s right. The power of Cheonwoomaeng is now dispersed in all directions. “We have to put it all together in the right place.”
At that moment, Lim So-byeong raised his hand.
“what?”
“I’m just curious. I agree with what you are trying to do, but isn’t it insufficient? You can build the pavilion quickly by mobilizing party members or utilizing those who remain here… but you will absolutely not have enough people to properly supply it, right? Does the top of the galaxy have that much power?”
“Of course not. “Those nobles are among the top 100 in the world, so in the end, they are just nobles who run a business in Shaanxi.”
“Then what are your plans?”
Cheongmyeong shrugged his shoulders.
“But that’s the first thing we’ll do.”
“yes?”
The corners of Cheongmyeong’s mouth were strangely twisted. Then, all of a sudden, he started talking nonsense.
“You must be really liking Gupa or Sapaeryeon by now. “It is clear that he thinks that Chun Woo-maeng’s cause of protecting the world has been clouded by taking care of his own family.”
“Hmm.”
Tanggunak let out a slightly groaning sound. Cheongmyeong continued speaking in a calm voice.
“The reason why Cheonwoomaeng has been able to grow so far is because they had a cause. But now they no longer have a cause. So now, Cheonwoomaeng will not be able to grow any bigger.”
“…It’s not that wrong.”
“no. “That is completely wrong.”
“hmm?”
Cheongmyeong grinned.
“So, the problem arose because we took care of our own family. “People will criticize me for that.”
“yes.”
“Then we can go backwards.”
There was doubt on everyone’s faces. Cheongmyeong laughed triumphantly.
“Let’s show it upside down. How thoroughly and horribly we take care of our family. So, how reassuring it is to be under Cheon Woo-maeng’s command.”
“That…”
It was something I didn’t understand at first glance, but there’s no need to understand it now. Just ask.
“how?”
“I need to check again before moving on.”
Cheongmyeong turned his head and looked at one place. Ogeom was standing where his eyes caught.
Cheongmyeong grinned and looked at the door owners with rolling eyes.
“I’m the musketeer, so you have to follow the orders I give you?”
“⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯mountain sword cooperative?”
“Whatever it is, right?”
“⋯⋯.”
“Oh, that’s good, that’s good. Hehehe! This is really comfortable. I should have done this a long time ago! Hahahaha!”
Cheongmyeong’s two eyes sparkled with madness. The owners all looked at each other with rotten eyes.
I felt like I had made something…an irreparable mistake.
