Chapter 436
436fury. At this meeting
that night.
After returning from his one-day green forest experience, Baek Su-ryong visited the monk of the green forest..
“I heard the story. I heard you did a great job of persuading me.?”
Perhaps he had already heard about what had happened on the main street, the green-robed monk had a mischievous smile on his face as soon as Baek Su-ryong entered the room..
Baek Soo-ryong asked back with a shocked expression..
“……Are you being sarcastic??”
“Is that possible? I mean this sincerely. Well done.”
Baek Soo-ryong, who expected to hear something, looked puzzled by the unexpected praise..
“I heard that the guy who fainted after being hit by me was a shaman's disciple. Isn't that why it bothers you later??”
“Quite the opposite. It gets more annoying if you don't set an example once in a while..”
The smile on the green-robed monk's mouth actually grew deeper..
“Moreover, since he was humiliated by a bandit whom he usually ignored, he will probably try to hide it out of shame. What if he was dead? There is no problem with this in non-partisan circles. but…….”
The green robed monk paused for a moment and nodded as he looked at the white water dragon wearing the green robes as if it were his own. There was a stain on the sword worn at his waist that appeared to have been made today..
“It was inevitable that rumors would spread little by little through the workers at the top who were with him. It is said that Yeomrachae's new recruit knocked out the leader of the political faction with one second of intelligence. That's enough. It will spread to the surrounding merchants and bureaucracy, increasing fear of Yeomrachae..”
Even though Detective Green was not there, he was accurately aware of the entire situation. And I already had in mind how to use it..
Baek Soo-ryong admired his heart and asked.
“You expected that far and recommended me to experience the green forest.?”
The green-robed monk shrugged his shoulders. Then I answered honestly.
“I knew that one of the tops would pass by on the main road today. And I thought that Blue Dragon Credit Union would not kill people easily. Still, I didn't expect to get hit on the head with a spit-on stick..”
“……I was worried because I thought there were only good and innocent bandits, but since Chaeju is here, I don't have to worry..”
“haha. This is the first time I see someone who cares about us..”
The green-robed monk smiled mischievously and put aside the documents on the desk. These were urgent matters that were taken care of first in order to participate in the Sapa meeting..
Baek Soo-ryong, who saw the enormous amount, felt a sense of sympathy and sat across from it..
The green-robed monk asked with a coy expression..
“so… … What was it like when you experienced it yourself??”
“The business is quite systematic..”
The green robed monk nodded at Baek Su-ryong’s words..
I could see the pride in his accomplishments from his expression..
“We manage Yangtze Mountain and provide convenience to people traveling to and from the mountain. And you get paid accordingly. We take care to never make you feel like you are being ripped off..”
A long-cherished wish to make Nokrim into a great bangpa that is as good as Gupilbang..
It started with King Nokrimtu, but Master Nokui tried to achieve his long-cherished wish in his own way..
Baek Soo-ryong spoke honestly about what he saw and felt..
“The middle road and small road were quite impressive. People passing by on the street seemed to hang out with Yeomra-chae without any shame, as if she were friends. Did you mean it??”
The green robed monk nodded with a happy expression..
“It is okay for the name Yeomrachae to be familiar to the powerless civilians. Rather, it is advantageous to feel safer as it can attract more customers. This is also the reason why I showed you the middle path and the small path first..”
But not for customers who want to cross the main street with weapons..
To them, Yeomrachae, as the name suggests, should be like King Yeomra..
“Those who cross the main road are mostly armed. These are people who can draw a sword and swing it at any time. You can protect your way by fighting when necessary..”
If Yeomrachae shows weakness on the main road, other forces will try to cross Mt. Yanggang, and Pyoguk and Sangsang will either hit the toll tax or try not to pay it..
I could feel his beliefs and concerns from the words of the monk Nok-ui..
‘Master Maeng. Honestly, I think this is better than Master..’
In the past, King Nokrimtu succeeded in uniting the forces of Nokrim, but was unable to implement a specific plan afterwards..
In fact, prominent members of the political faction, including Gupailbang, expanded their power by running many businesses and running secular houses..
In contrast, the green forest was limited to blocking the road and collecting toll taxes. It was because most of the people from that background were uneducated and poor..
-The smart guys below will take care of the difficult things. Anyway, if I get out of here, I will definitely turn the green forest into a big blast wave.!
Detective Nok-ui was the smart man that Master Maeng had been looking for..
Baek Soo-ryong began speaking cautiously..
“There are a few business plans that came to mind while looking around Yeomrachae’s business today. Do you mind if I tell you about them??”
“Rather, I would like to ask you a favor. Please feel free to tell me.”
The green robed monk's eyes twinkled and he leaned towards the white water dragon..
He seemed very happy to meet someone with similar vision after a long time..
“I met an old woman on a small road. The dumplings tasted excellent. That's what I thought at that time…….”
Baek Soo-ryong began to pour out ways for Yeomra-chae to expand her business, starting with the story of meeting the old woman..
“How about setting up a rest stop on the street and selling simple food? After building trust, it will be possible to expand into the lodging industry..”
“If you need to climb a mountain quickly or have difficulty crossing a mountain due to lack of physical strength, there seems to be a demand for transportation services that take you over the mountain using a palanquin or rickshaw for an additional fee from Yeomrachae..”
“You can also consider crossing the road together to prepare for animals such as tigers, bears, and wild boars. At this time, I think we can encourage sales of daily necessities and hiking gear.…….”
“…….”
The green-robed monk started listening with mild interest at first, but his eyes gradually widened, and by the time Baeksu-ryong's story was over, he was looking at him with a suspicious expression..
“……This may be a rude question, but has your father ever been in a green forest??”
Although Baek Mu-heun was the legendary bastard of the Blue Dragon Academy, he still had no ties to Nokrim..
‘……Probably not?’
Suddenly, he imagined Baek Mu-heun and Mei Rubing eating a piece of live vegetable, but Baek Su-ryong shook his head and shook off the random thoughts..
“I heard it from my teacher. Because he was the one who worried more about green forests than anyone else..”
“her……!”
In fact, Baek Soo-ryong heard many stories from King Green Forest in his past life, and had many conversations with him about various things..
Most of the plans I just told Detective Green were things that came to mind during that conversation..
The stories we shared as a half-joke when we were wondering what it would be like to follow Master Maeng to Nokrim after escaping from the religious cult..
-Hahaha! Baby. You are a genius! From now on, you will be the culprit of the green forest.!
-……Kangho’s future is dark..
Baek Soo-ryong chuckled as he remembered Master Maeng, who had a very excited face, and Master Gwangma, who was sighing in the next room..
“But there is one problem.”
Those were the words of the green-robed monk. He sighed deeply and looked at Baeksuryong..
“It’s not that I haven’t thought about the things you said. Some things are actually implemented similarly. But the problem is…….”
“There will be no top to place items on. There are limits to dealing with just a few merchants..”
“……you're right.”
The green-robed monk nodded with a somber expression..
In the end, the core of Baek Soo-ryong's plans was to do business with people traveling to and from Yangtze Mountain and leave a mark..
To do this, you need to provide goods consistently, and dealing with a large merchant was essential..
The green-robed monk sighed softly and said,.
“But which merchant would want to do business with us?.”
Most of the ten major merchants in the world are deeply connected to one of the nine factions or the five major factions, and smaller merchants do not want to do business with the four factions..
Basically, it was because of a lack of trust..
It was almost impossible to take a big risk and find a top seller to make a deal with Green Forest..
“I am also looking into it in every possible way, but so far there has been no significant income.…….”
“It's called White Dragon Merchants. There is one small to medium sized top based in Nanchang, Gangseo.”
“……yes?”
“Although the scale is not very large yet, there is great potential for growth and the general manager there does a good job. I also have connections with Geumryong Trading Company. I was preparing to expand into other regions, and it worked out well..”
“no way… … Is what I think right now??”
Baek Soo-ryong grinned and nodded toward the green-robed monk who asked with a stern expression..
“I hope Yeomrachae and Baekryong Sangdan sign a long-term contract. We supply the goods, and Yeomrachae sells them to people traveling to and from the mountains..”
“…….”
The Green Guard was silent for a moment..
It was a very sudden proposal, and the profits and losses had to be carefully calculated..
“Let me ask you one thing. I can give you the answer here, but is it okay for you to make your own decisions about the White Dragon Company??”
“Of course. It's my top..”
“……her. When I heard the name, I wondered…….”
The green robed monk laughed empty-handedly..
Although he didn't show it outwardly, he was just as surprised as when he heard that Blue Dragon Shinhyeop was a disciple of King Green Forest..
‘It's not just a relationship that came from King Green Forest... … He might be a noble person who will never exist again in the world..’
However, the green-robed monk did not grab the sudden luck..
It was not just for Yeomrachae's benefit, but also for fear of causing trouble to someone who would become a nobleman..
“If it becomes known that we made a deal with them, the White Dragon Merchants Company will face severe checks from other merchants. Would that be okay??”
Merchants who trade with Green Forest.
Even though merchants were willing to jump into a fire pit in pursuit of money, it was a different matter for such rumors to be spread publicly..
But Baek Soo-ryong had a plan..
“You don't need to worry about that part..”
When the war between the religious and religious factions begins, the situation in the world will completely change..
The nine factions and the five major families would go to the forefront of the war to protect their vested rights, and the world's top ten major corps, which received their support, had no choice but to be busy..
After the war ends, some of the names of the world's top ten might change..
At this time, having a distribution network in Nokrim could have been a tremendous weapon depending on how it was used..
‘I had no plans to do business with Yeomrachae from the beginning.…….’
My thoughts changed after looking around Yeomrachae in person..
Baek Soo-ryong decided that this place was worth investing in..
And if the transaction with Yeomrachae was successful, the plan was to gradually expand the distribution network by signing contracts with Sanchae under its control..
“Yeomrachae needs to be low to get its money's worth, so trust me..”
That was correct. Yeomrachae had nothing to lose..
The one making bold investments is Baekryong Trading Company..
Finally, after thinking about it, the green robed detective nodded..
“great. I will make a deal with Baekryong Merchants..”
The two signed a contract on the spot and signed it..
It was the moment when a deal that would later be recorded as a historic day was concluded..
“Can you give me some thoughts on your future business plans??”
“Of course. Please give me your opinion.”
Afterwards, the two talked for over an hour..
Detective Nokui was thoughtful and cautious..
Every once in a while, he surprised Baek Soo-ryong with a flash of insight. He was definitely a person who would have made it big even if he had gone to government office..
Baek Soo-ryong thought while talking with him..
‘If there was just one person like the green-clad investigator next to Master Maeng,…….’
Not only would Nokrim's history be changed, but wouldn't he have been betrayed by his subordinates and imprisoned?.
Baek Soo-ryong said with a bitter smile..
“If it secures a stable source of income like Yeomrachae, Noklim will be able to form a proper sect in the future. But not all wild vegetables will agree to this approach..”
“……That's correct.”
The green-robed monk also nodded heavily..
The number of mountain temples scattered across the world exceeds hundreds, and among them, there are dozens if you count the ones with proper power..
Mountain vegetables with a name called Green Forest Seventy-Two Vegetables.
In the past, they were unified under the name of Nokrimmaeng by King Meng Hoak, but now they are divided into three major forces..
“There are only about two dozen wild vegetables that I have influence over..”
Yeomrachae only represented one of the three major powers of Nokrim..
Homunchae and Georyeongchae.
His influence did not reach the mountains under the control of the other two powers..
“Homunchae, Georyeongchae. The foolish leaders of both places still think that killing and plundering are virtues of green forest..”
I could feel the strong hostility towards the two lenders from the expression of the green investigator..
He gained notoriety as a teenage villain and is currently evaluated as being close to the Green Forest King, but that did not mean he could overwhelm the other two forces..
Baek Soo-ryong also knew that fact. Before coming here, I researched the power structure of Green Forest..
“That's why.”
Homun Chaeju and Georyeong Chaeju.
Both of them boasted a power comparable to that of Yeomrachae, and were horse servants who had no hesitation in killing civilians..
“At this Safa meeting, how about persuading both of them??”
‘Emphasizing the word 'persuasion', Baek Soo-ryong tapped the handle of the sword hanging at his waist..
