Congressman, Live Again - Episode 466
Chapter 466
“Well, I guess I can grow up like this. When it gets bigger, I plan to move it to the northern field..”
“And I'm going to cut up some new potatoes..”
“That's it..”
He's a disciple, but he's such a strange guy..
“And you are hugging that clay pot and admiring it from the carriage..”
“Hehehe. I just brought a lot of potatoes..”
It was like that..
Jin Tianxi and Zhuge Lin are leaving the imperial palace and heading north again, dragging the Baeklin Guard's military force..
I stopped at Baekrin Uigak along the way, picked up a few things, and went back up..
“It looks like the word 'fatigue' isn't in your head..”
“It's safe now.”
“Even though the Sukshin tribe was defeated and returned to the north, the war was not completely over..”
“Still, the people who fled are coming back, and the cities and villages inside the border fortress are crowded with people again, right? It has to be now or never.”
“What doesn't work?.”
“This is the only opportunity to spread the word that baking potatoes with toppings on top is a great way to spread the word. Master!”
Zhugelin wondered to himself, “Why did this guy become his disciple and go through all this trouble?”.
I can't understand words.
No, a gun appeared in my eyes, but the criminal did something unimaginably strange without any hesitation..
“So you're planning to spread potatoes to the northern plateau..”
“yes. I'm sorry to Gamja Kim, Gamja Lee, and Gamja Park, but it's goodbye when we get to Seonmok. Grow up well. When they grow up well, they become delicious French fries..”
Jin Cheon-hee hugged the clay pot..
This crazy student even gave a name to the potato..
The place where the carriage is heading is Seonmok (先牧).).
It is a city where livestock farming is developed and horses are traded with nomadic tribes, and there are many horse ranches..
However, rather than meaning raising, it would be more appropriate to mean a ranch for breeding and selling..
Even if they are native to Seonmok, they are far inferior to the horses raised by nomadic tribes..
“Still, it's really too much. Until the end, you see people as the same whether they are imperialists or nomads..”
“of course. These are people who will appreciate the beauty of potatoes..”
“It can also be a measure for residents..”
“Hehehe… … . As expected, you knew. There's nothing more delicious than eating potatoes when you're hungry. It makes no sense to grow potatoes in the south in the first place. What hardships must they have had in the hot South Sea? However, it appears to be slightly larger in mountainous areas..”
Tangerine flower branch).
There is a saying that if a tangerine exceeds its number, it becomes a tangerine..
This means that the crops of the same tangerine tree change depending on where it is grown, which means that the nature of humans changes depending on the environment in which they grow..
Jin Cheon-hee just accepted it as the basics of farming..
The place where Jin Cheon-hee was located has everything necessary for transportation, greenhouses, and various types of agriculture and transportation, but this era is different..
We don't know which crops grow best in which soil..
All we need to do is make the crops that originally grew in that area grow the same way as before..
This is what Jin Cheon-hee wanted to do..
“I was wondering what was going on because they urged me so much..”
“Freshness of potatoes is important. Master. needs to be shipped quickly.”
“So, I prepared dried potatoes and seeds..”
“yes. But there will probably be quite a few sprouted potatoes by the time we arrive..”
“Cutting it out would also be work..”
“I'll use it for planting. And I also prepared rice, so you can solve the relief problem..”
“The obsession with potatoes is enormous..”
“yes. Master. In essence, war leaves a lot behind. One of them is post-war food..”
It is the same as Budae Jjigae that was created in Korea..
After the Korean War, it all started when I started boiling ham and spam given to me by the US military..
Hasn’t it now become a food loved by the entire nation?.
“We give potatoes a chance to conquer the world. Khan didn't deserve it, but Potato deserves it. You guys are going to conquer the world. Gamja Kim, Gamja Lee, Gamja Park.”
The disciple even drew a face when planting potatoes..
‘……Why is this kid so obsessed with potatoes?.’
And laughed loudly.
“If people starve, their immunity will drop, and infectious diseases will break out..”
“And I see that you paid special attention to infectious diseases throughout the war with the Sukshin tribe..”
-Byeok-an Gwang-eui has mycorrhea..
This is a story that has already become established within the martial arts community..
Be that as it may, Jin Cheon-hee even set a wildfire at the site where all the bodies were cleared under the pretext of creating a field in the future..
He didn't go into detail, but he was concerned about the epidemic to the extent that it seemed serious..
This disciple.
Jin Cheon-hee answered.
“just… … . Nothing much will happen. Nothing much will happen, but I have to do as much as I can. And if silk trade goes ahead as planned, local public sentiment will become very important. If you can buy the public sentiment back then with the food you buy now, you won't be able to do that even with gold..”
Humans are like potatoes.
Zhugelin repeated and then opened his mouth..
“If these potatoes are like people, they will never forget rain during a drought for the rest of their lives..”
“That's it..”
The congressman knew how miserable the war was..
That's why I couldn't run away.
“Deficiency can kill a person, but on the other hand, it can also be a reason to move forward..”
“And the rice you sprinkle at that time will never be forgotten..”
“We will be in business for a long time. Master. In the future, today's good deeds will come back as a great force for Baekrin Uigak..”
“It will be like that in Sacheondanga too..”
“Well, as a result, the Sichuan Tang family has helped Baekrin Uigak since the beginning, so they deserve it..”
Danga is a good kid..
Jin Cheon-hee saw the future of Sacheon Dangga through Dang-ah..
Zegalin said.
“You will also try to trade with other nomadic tribes that are not part of the Sukshin tribe..”
“yes. Now that Khan has fallen from his horse, the dissatisfied tribes will fall away one by one. There may be some tribes that did not participate in this war at all. I'm going to make a deal with them. this…….”
Jin Cheon-hee held three bonsai pots with a solemn look..
“Kim Gamja, Lee Gamja, Park Gamja..”
“Now I see that you even drew a face on that expensive clay pot..”
“Isn't it cute? These children are the ones who will conquer the wilderness in the future. Of course, you have to draw the facial expression as well. fresh? cute?”
“…….”
Tugoe, who was escorting, coughed..
“Cool… … Meet… … ruck… … bloke…….”
I ended up spitting out three words of truth between coughs..
As soon as she saw her granddaughter, she was dragged out again and she felt very bad..
So, without saying a word, I was riding in this hellish dirt carriage, and it was getting more and more difficult..
Zhugelin glared at the enemy with cold eyes and continued speaking..
“Anyway, I understand that your plan will work. That's why I came too.”
“Hahaha, I'm glad I was able to convince Master. really.”
For Jin Cheon-hee, persuading the Master was always difficult..
Baeklin's ship, Jegalin.
Because what he showed in the war was something that just the expression “mirage” was not enough..
When the carriage arrived, Gongsun family warriors were seen in front of the castle gate..
“and… … . The time has come just like a knife..”
“That's right. Gongsunhyeon: I didn't know she would come in person. It must be pretty busy..”
He must have smelled money..
Master added a word.
“Considering the money you made, I guess you assumed it would be a lot of money this time too..”
The carriage headed to the largest and cleanest guesthouse in Seonmokseong Fortress..
Even though it was the largest and cleanest, it was relatively so. The inside of Seonmokseong Fortress was full of orphans and beggars..
The injured people rolled around carelessly on the floor, and flies ate their flesh..
The temporary clinic tent was filled with people, and screams rang out as well..
Security was also terrible..
When I entered the guesthouse, there were three people waiting there: Gongsunhyeon, Gongsunyoung, and Wang Keoyeon..
‘Ah, each yeon is a hwagyeong... … I think it's done. This is a flower scene, right??’
Looking at the energy naturally flowing from the body, it seems that he has succeeded in conserving the enlightenment he gained through this war..
“Baekrin’s Pavilion has now arrived. Sorry for keeping you waiting. Polite matriarch.”
Black Ice Poisonous Dragon Gongsunhyeon.
She is no longer the head of the family..
He confidently succeeded in the sea trade that Jin Tianxi helped him with last time, and now he has succeeded in taking complete control of the Gongsong family..
Became the head of the family.
Gongsun Hyeon gave a light hand..
“He says all kinds of things. Rather, we are grateful that you asked us..”
* * *
Following Gongsunhyeon's guidance, we entered the tea room, and a neat and tidy tea room was revealed..
‘Because of the war, even this guest house is having a hard time..’
Usually, if it is the largest guest house in a trading city, a lot of money is bound to come and go..
This is especially true for large merchants such as Gongson Merchants because the merchants, messengers, and military personnel who came with them also have to rest together..
However, what was placed in front of Jin Cheon-hee was Yongjeong tea, which was better than a yawn, and refreshments, which were better than not eating at all..
‘As expected, the local economy itself is collapsing..’
Only a small percentage of weapons can be sold through war..
Rather than buying weapons, the Sukshin tribe prefers to capture and exploit the craftsmen who make them..
Additionally, the Hua Empire also mobilized the supplies it had already stockpiled and went into battle..
It may be a war that has lasted for several years, but it is not easy to make a profit in such a situation..
This is especially true since there was no shortage of military supplies until the very end..
So at least it is impossible to sell anything through this war..
In the end, all that remains is a ruin where both the people who will sell the trade goods and the people who will buy the trade goods have either died or run away..
What can we do in this place where nothing but ashes remain?.
Gongsunhyeon continued..
“First of all, I plan to trade horses and livestock through Bakridamae. I plan to offer a reasonable price to the nomadic tribe..”
Jin Cheon-hee responded to those words..
“For existing merchants, it would be a disaster..”
“yes. Since the intermediate profits are so high, even a decent warhorse is worth the price of a house..”
Are you saying that Gongson Trading Company will step in and reduce profiteering?.
Jin Cheonhee was lost in thought and asked:.
“In addition, it would also be possible to raise war horses and deliver them directly to the military..”
“yes. However, in order to do so, land is needed, and I hope Baekrin Uigak will help us with that..”
Jin Cheon-hee was lost in thought..
As a result of this work, Baeklin Uigak received the huge amount of land that was originally promised..
At first glance, it can only be seen as a barren wilderness where rice does not grow, but Jin Cheon-hee was confident that if used well, it could become a land of golden ssas..
‘Hmm, Master is just watching..’
I feel like they are testing how I can deal with Gongsunhyeon..
If necessary, he will step in and break up the deal, but he probably won't do it himself..
