Congressman, Live Again - Episode 618
Episode 618
Just as I was about to tell Master that I was going inside, a voice rang out..
“Come in. Hehehe.”
Did you notice it just by looking at me?.
When I entered the study.
I saw bamboo books and papers piled up like a mountain..
‘Master, your workload is enormous. I think there are more than me in the lab..’
Nevertheless, there was not a single expression of weariness on Master's face, and there was not a single wrinkle in his collar..
Is it possible for people to do things like this?.
While she was thinking that, Master suddenly threw a folder in front of Jin Cheonhee..
“I think you need to reorganize the expanded Baekrin County..”
“yes yes?”
“Why are you looking so surprised? Thanks to the work we did in Aisha Kingdom this time, the land has increased, so someone has to manage it..”
Does that happen too?.
There's a lot going on outside, so I can't make excuses..
the master said.
“The residents of Baeklin County all want you. Even if I send another county representative, they always talk about you, Won. How on earth did you cook it?.”
“uh… … . I worked hard on civil engineering work.?”
“okay. I guess I'll have to do that again.”
After saying that, he threw another document..
“This is the meaning of punishment. Realize for yourself how precious your hands are. You are a child who is praised as a genius of the world, but you often push yourself too much mentally and physically..”
“…….”
“So, try implementing some of the plans you sketched out in the past..”
While saying that, he threw the other documents one by one..
“Complete water supply and sewage systems, develop and distribute toilets, establish public bathhouses, and establish additional food and mirror factories for regional development and improve agricultural methods..”
“Ugh.”
“Illiteracy Reduction Policy.”
‘Aaaah! Work is pouring in ahhh!’
Jin Cheon-hee is tearing out her hair..
And the last thing Master threw was something wrapped in golden silk..
When I open it, I see that it contains the imperial palace's decree..
There was some rhetoric here and there, but the main point was this..
-5Baeklin County tax exemption for one year. Collect taxes in that neighborhood and take care of it..
“Master. Is it okay to just throw away the edict containing the royal decree like this??”
“So the emperor is going to arrest me for disloyalty??”
That's right.
How would they know whether an edict was thrown or rolled from this far away, and even if they did, they wouldn't say anything about stepping on my letter..
If I were to say anything, it would be because I had the intention of being a traitor from the beginning..
Like cutting out the affected area.
“Okay, Master. I'll try it.”
Jin Cheon-hee sighed and scratched his head..
I went outside, holding the documents and bamboo books that the teacher had thrown at me..
The late spring sunlight is very sweet.
‘Come to think of it, Master didn't ask about my fingers..’
Now that I have a finger that wasn't there before, it's worth asking..
I guess you already knew that Yuho started making gloves..
And you probably knew about the function of gloves before Jin Cheon-hee did..
‘Master, how much do you know about me??’
As long as the contract between the two exists, Master cannot receive any hints about Jin Cheon-hee..
Because I decided to become a disciple without asking anything..
But sometimes I felt like I understood more than what my student was telling me..
‘Let's just think about it. Even if I go deeper, there is no more meaning than this..’
Jin Cheon-hee stretched out..
‘These days, I wonder if I’m a doctor or an administrator… … . But, is this also the way to live?.’
Is it time to get drunk on the taste of power again?.
‘Ugh... . Let’s achieve forced health through the power of power.!’
Now all residents of the new Bailin County will be forced to wash their hands when they come home from going out..
The excuse that they cannot wash their hands due to lack of water due to developed water and sewage facilities will not work for them..
‘Hahaha! Now, toilets will go from the old conventional to the new, and the waste will be collected, burned at high temperature, and processed to eliminate parasite eggs! Haha! Hahahaha!’
this is power.
Jin Cheon-hee was happy like an inspector..
‘Well, for that to happen, we need talented people again.…….’
Originally, I would have had to contact the government..
However, the opening belongs to the Murim Alliance..
Seolgyeon is not the type of person to worry about, but if she continues to receive information like this, her position will be shaken..
I can't commit such a nuisance.…….
‘I have to ask Hao Wen..’
Didn’t Sima Xuan become the next Lord Hao Wen?.
And since Muwol was by my side, I thought it would be good to request a case about hiring bachelors like before..
* * *
So I found Muwol and talked to her..
“Instead, how about using Baek Hwan’s children? silver ball.”
“After Baekhwan... Is this possible in a situation where civil servants are needed rather than military personnel??”
Muwol nodded at Jin Cheonhee’s words..
“Of course, we hope that the overwhelming majority of children will learn martial arts and become powerful people, but still, the number of children who grew up in Baekhwanhu exceeded 10,000. Isn't it Eun-gong's policy to first remove the writing?.”
It was like that..
Even if you become a strong person, if you don't know how to read, you will often go off somewhere, get scammed, and die in a hermitage somewhere..
In addition, there are many cases where people end up in a dark situation because they receive mediocre jobs or buy houses in strange ways..
So, to prevent illiteracy, we teach people how to read the basics..
“Thanks to this, there were quite a few children who wanted to become bachelors or managers..”
“It means that the number is sufficient to take the official exam..”
“yes. Since there are about a few hundred people, it would be better to get into an administrative position like this rather than get into a top office or something like that..”
“Is it okay for me to do some arithmetic??”
When Jin Tianxi hires officials from Baeklin County, the thing he values most is arithmetic..
Of course, in order to become a great official of the country, the words of Confucius and Mencius are important, but because of the fundamental tendency to value Silhak, officials who were good at arithmetic were given the highest regard..
Muwol nodded at those words..
“These were the kids who were originally going to be at the top. There are quite a few children who are also good at arithmetic. In the meantime, we have hired a few recommended children from Baekhwanhoo, but now it would be even better if we take an official test..”
“Wow, this feels weird..”
Jin Cheon-hee pressed her solar plexus without realizing it..
‘The children I saved are now coming to my workplace..’
That too comes from taking a test..
I know that being a warrior in this powerhouse is the coolest thing. However, I had no idea that there were so many children like me who had their eyes set on something else..
My heart itched..
* * *
After so much time has passed.
Jin Cheon-hee sat in the examination room directly..
He looked very neat, wearing a black school uniform with wide sleeves, which he rarely wore, and with his hair up and a crown on..
In front of Jin Cheon-hee, after Baek Hwan, the children began the test..
When Baekrin-hyeon was first reorganized, Muwol contributed greatly to the creation of Baekrin-hyeon administrative workbook..
I distributed it even after returning home..
the children came to study it.
adult.
When to choose your career path.
Even so, that's by the standards of a strong person, and by modern standards, at most, they're teenagers..
‘Ugh, you all grew up well..’
The difference between Kangho and Hyundai is that the children all have deep eyes..
Baek Hwan-hu came from an extinct family, but as many of his children came from poor military backgrounds, he experienced many ups and downs in the world..
‘And don't work.’
Work was natural from the age one could move..
So, of course, the eyes were like those of an adult..
In a time where being naive is a luxury.
A brush grazed the paper in an exam room so quiet you could hear the sound of a pin dropping..
On the other hand, Baek Hwan-hu's children felt different..
‘That person is So Ui-seon…….’
‘All I saw was from afar..’
‘First time seeing it. It doesn't look like a human, but like a celestial being..’
‘It was Souiseon who gave my sister medicine.…….’
Some kindness comes back.
In particular, children are naive and innocent, and they will never forget the warmth they experienced for the first time in the world..
Even if the world's ups and downs turn you into an old adult, the kindness you received when you were pure will last a lifetime..
Sometimes it's deeper than the resentment I experienced as a child..
It makes you choose to live life even when you think of your enemies..
Even though it sometimes appears in my dreams.
The warmth that had already reached me made me think about grabbing my younger brother and sister by my side rather than throwing my life away to seek revenge..
The funny thing is that this man in front of me, who is called by various nicknames such as So Ui-seon, Il-gwang, Baek Seon-gwang-ui, and Byeok-an Gwang-ui, has never taught me what to do with favors or grudges..
It just teaches you how to live..
If you live as a Baekhwanhu, you can learn basic martial arts and, conversely, learn basic writing..
Nevertheless, there are children who leave as soon as they become adults to kill their parents' enemies..
Some children have decided to take care of their families this way..
There is no right answer anywhere.
Even Jin Cheon-hee doesn’t know the answer..
It belongs to those who live.
In some ways, the test questions in front of us could be said to be much easier than that..
Thump, thud.
The sound of an abacus being bounced is also resounding..
Among Baekhwanhu's children, there is none who does not know how to use an abacus..
That's how the test ended.
* * *
evening after exam.
Jin Cheon-hee scored it himself..
‘and… Everyone’s level is higher than I thought.?’
It's a sad story, but things rarely go as planned..
The reality is that the higher-ups tend to become idealistic, and the working-level staff are divided as they try to follow the higher-ups..
So I always lowered my expectations, but this was beyond my imagination..
‘The bachelors who teach this are also amazing. Is it because children’s desire for achievement is so great?.’
There is one fact that Jin Cheon-hee overlooked..
Studying writing is expensive.
It is not for nothing that people steal their studies by listening to the poor child reading outside the academy in ancient times..
In particular, learning arithmetic, such as the abacus, is always helpful..
Top? That's natural.
Even in seowons and monasteries that seem to be far from money, such manpower is always needed..
Because there is no place in this world where money doesn’t flow..
“How are you??”
Muwol placed warm tea in front of Jin Cheonhee..
Jin Cheon-hee took a sip of tea and said this..
“……It's much better than finding it outside.?”
Muwol looked proud at those words..
“Yes?”
“I understand why the Foreign Party leader was so confident..”
Muwol let out a small laugh as if he was happy..
“Well, if a child is not getting good grades, should we ask them if they want to do it and have them study again and take the test again??”
Muwol’s eyes widened at Jin Cheonhee’s words..
“Those words are…….”
“Yes, I want to take them all. It's a shameful situation for even just one person. Of course, there is nothing you can do if you have other intentions.…….”
“……no! There is no one who would refuse there!”
I didn't expect Muwol to stop talking like this..
Wasn't it Muwol, who was sold to Haomun with her sister in the past and lived in fear?.
I wonder if there was a desire for a government post, wasn't the civil service exam ultimately swept through several academies in the imperial capital?.
It's not for nothing that the children of a royal family become powerful when they grow up..
There is a high probability that a dragon will fly out of a stream, let alone that the child of a poor farmer will study and become a government official..
The majority do not have such talent, nor do they have the money or power to overthrow that talent..
Knowing that, choosing a brush over a sword is usually difficult unless you make a decision..
Muwol knew better how the children felt..
Jin Cheonhee nodded..
“Thank you. thank you.”
“no. I am grateful.”
Muwol somehow remembered himself when he was young..
At that time, there were a lot of things I couldn't do, so the accumulated resentment melted a little..
For some reason, I wanted to see the moon with my sister..
