Lawmaker, Live Again - Episode 757
Chapter 757
Yeo Ha-ryun continued..
“Martial arts may not be able to grow grain in a field, but isn't it possible to instantly kill the person in front of you?.”
That was also correct. Yeo Ha-ryun said.
“Instead of the oppression of the minority for the sake of the majority, the personal violence of the extremely powerful has taken its place..”
The human being Yeo Ha-ryun saw was somehow so bleak that destruction felt like rest..
Jin Cheon-hee answered.
“But there are also groups that fight against injustice. Shaolin or Hwasan fell into a different path once, but like a shaman,.”
“okay. There is also Baekrin’s angle. But I am confident that it will be easier to stop someone with blood than to persuade him to sacrifice one person for the sake of the many..”
“yes. Apparently, the opponent is a cult..”
“If you become weaker than a cult, you won't be able to stop it..”
In the end, the trust that is so revered in the world can only be achieved with strength..
Since he couldn't deny that either, Jin Cheonhee nodded..
“Because that's pride.”
It occurred to me that Confucianism had somehow found its place in the Central Plains, which runs on the principle of power..
Yeo Ha-ryun said calmly.
“Even if you use people as firewood, in the end, if you don't have the strength, you can't stop it. That's why the Sun Moon God Church prioritizes strength above all else..”
“For that strength, we feed the child solitude..”
Yeo Ha-ryun does not deny his brother’s words that hit the nail on the head..
“okay. The current Protestant religion ignores doctrine in favor of means. The one who made it is Cheonma.”
“Nevertheless, in the new world, the Demonic Cult is the best..”
The world where miracles really happen is a very strange place..
‘A world that denies the saying ‘humans are equal from birth’ from the beginning and is piled up with countless corpses..
Nevertheless, the night sky is extremely beautiful.
Even now, I used to stop walking and look blankly at the sky..
While thinking that the light flickering with the wind is like a human life,.
The congressman was so fascinated by it that he couldn't look away..
it was a powerhouse.
In addition to birds, there were also strong players..
It's a vast darkness that flickers, sparkles, and fascinates people..
In other words, it was the essence of human beings.

Finally arrived at the mining town.
There were mining sites connected to the stone mountain, and what appeared to be Buddha statues carved out of stone were also seen..
“Is that a soda stone??”
“no. Soda stone is weak to water, so it shatters when exposed to rain. That's just a stone.”
It was a pretty big city..
It has a large population, reportedly about 10,000 people. That's just the manager's guess. Considering the times, the actual population may be higher..
When we arrived at the mining town, a boy blocked our way at the entrance..
The boy's clothes weren't flashy, but they were neat, and it felt like he was living in a fairly wealthy place..
As soon as the boy looked this way, he took a deep breath and shouted with all his might..
“go back--!”
“hmm?”
As soon as his eyes met with Jin Cheon-hee, the boy continued to shout..
“go back! Don't come in! This is no place for you guys.!”
It didn't seem like they were territorial.
First off, I didn't throw any slings..
Sure enough, someone started running behind the boy..
“young master! What are you doing there again?!”
Looking at his behavior, he looked like a soldier. The boy clicked his tongue and ran away, shouting again.
“You! Leave this city quickly! Otherwise you will die!”
The soldiers ran after the boy. Some of them approached Jin Cheon-hee..
“welcome. Welcome to Natron City. I wonder if our master was so mischievous that he said something strange.…….”
“If you are a master... … . You mean that kid from earlier??”
“He is the son of the Lord of Seong. Maybe it's because you're still young, but you're lively..”
Jin Cheon-hee thought.
‘If you don't want to die, go back. He learned to say welcome the Kang Ho style..’
It is polite for a village to come out and issue a threat like this in a village that has always been in a bad way..
After thinking that far, Jin Cheonhee lowered her eyelashes and smiled kindly..
“Well, it’s usually like that when you’re young. By the way, my introduction is late. My name is Governor Jin Cheon-hee, who came from the Hua Empire for trade. His Majesty's personal letter is also here.”
He said that and handed me a personal letter..
“ah! When I saw the big dog, I wondered if it was a blind white saint! Such an honor…….”
Jin Cheon-hee's story seemed to have been known quite far..
the soldiers said.
“I'll take you inside. Please follow me.”
* * *
Jin Cheon-hee silently followed the soldiers..
There was no sign of surprise or anxiety on the child's face..
Jashi scatters the sand he was holding along with the wind..
Along with the sound of the bone necklace clinking, a whispering sound was heard in Jin Tianxi's ear..
[That's quite kind..]
‘Electric sound? No, it's different from the whole sound..’
Jin Cheon-hee immediately realized.
‘This is witchcraft. It was possible to convey one's intentions through magic..’
Jashi was doing things that were impossible for a normal shaman, but very easily..
Is that because Jashi burned his life to use gold jutsu? Or, I didn't know if there was a separate spell like this..
Jin Cheon-hee responded with a full tone..
[Can't you be kind??]
[They weren't very friendly when I came here a few years ago..]
[Maybe this person is kind.?]
Jashi sees the smile drawn on Jin Cheon-hee's lips..
[You guys have no idea what's going on. For now, don't relax.]
Jin Cheon-hee nods her head slightly, seemingly invisible..
Soon, the electric sound rang again from Jin Cheon-hee’s side..
[Does anything feel magical??]
[does not exist. It might be hidden somewhere.]
Jin Cheon-hee's eyes are rolling..
Eventually, Jin Cheon-hee asked Yeo Ha-ryun,.
[Ha-Ryun. your men?]
[I told you to disguise yourself as a top and sneak in first, but I can't see you. strange.]
[hmm… … . Contact was lost.?]
[Losing contact is a common occurrence during an ambush. First, I have to find it through the black cat..]
‘okay. First of all, the situation is strange in many ways..’
I don't really feel like being suspicious of people as soon as I see them, but isn't this a town I came to because I was suspicious in the first place?.
In a way, it was natural for things to turn out strangely..
Jin Cheon-hee just rolled her eyes and quickly looked at the facial expressions of the villagers..
“Oh, is that a blind white saint?!”
“You're amazing at such a young age.!”
Everyone who came out to see Jin Cheon-hee was busy laughing and talking..
The children gained plump weight, and the adults had straight teeth and good complexion..
That was definitely a good thing, but it was also a strange thing..
‘Since rinderpest had only recently been resolved, the food situation would not have improved immediately.…….’
Jin Cheon-hee grabbed the soldier and asked:.
“Was there no food shortage here??”
“Don't even talk. We were probably the ones who suffered the most from food shortages. Because the city revolves around mining, there is no food.…….”
The soldier sighed and shook his head, remembering that time..
Jin Cheon-hee asked.
“But now you are full of energy.?”
“sure! The Maitreya Church gave us salvation.!”
The salvation that Maitreya religion, or rather Maitreya & blood missions, could provide was very diverse..
Not only salvation in the dictionary sense, but also the claim that death is salvation..
“What is that salvation??”
Jin Cheon-hee asks straight to the point..
the soldier answered.
“Well, that's hard for me to answer..”
“Is that so?”
“yes.”
The soldier said only that much and did not say a single specific word..
His attitude as if his mouth was locked only deepened my doubts..
Finally.
Jin Cheon-hee was able to arrive at the residence of the city's lord..
* * *
“My name is Nakrantik, the lord of the castle. white saint.”
The huge white palace was covered with precious glass..
From the gorgeous glass sculptures to the drinking glasses they were holding, the wave patterns were nothing short of extravagant..
However, the strange thing is.
‘why is there no food?’
There was only a little alcohol, no meat or fruit..
He said.
“I'm sorry I didn't prepare anything. The food situation is still not good. Now that the rinderpest has been resolved, things will get better soon..”
“it's okay. The alcohol is fragrant..”
“I heard that you have solved the rinderpest problem. I would like to thank you on behalf of the people..”
Jin Cheon-hee waved his hand at those words..
“It's no big deal. Rather, I am just happy to be of help to the kingdom..”
Jin Cheon-hee humbly accepted it..
Seongju nodded as if he liked Jin Cheonhee..
“It may be presumptuous to say this, but Governor Jin is different from other envoys of the Fire Empire. Not only is he fluent in our language, but he is also humble..”
Previous episode: It's a story about criticizing the imperial envoy, but Jin Cheon-hee is familiar with it..
Literally, every time I came, I was told to give me the glass, do you have any gold, and give me the silver too?.
“Hahaha, thank you for watching..”
“I received a letter from Your Majesty, but I was told to hear the details directly. Why did you come this far?.”
Finally, to the point.
Jin Cheonhee put down her drink..
“I came here because I wanted to import soda stones in large quantities. I also decided to get tax exemption benefits..”
“Tax exemption benefits? Well, if you're a saint who ended the catastrophe, you should get that much benefit..”
After saying that, the king said something to his subjects..
The subject nodded and quickly wrote a letter..
There was no way Jin Cheon-hee was lying, but she was definitely sending it to check just in case..
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“How do I buy and sell the soda stones I produce??”
“As the mayor, I have jurisdiction over everything. Private mines are illegal.”
“That's right too.”
middle age. The majority of mines such as salt, iron, and copper are usually owned by the state..
Alternatively, mining may be done by private citizens who have purchased the rights from the state, but here it seemed to be managed directly by the mayor..
So the wheat light.
There is something called wheat chae. It means mining without the government's knowledge and making money through mining..
“They also agreed to receive a portion of the mine's shares..”
After saying that, he handed me a document with the king's seal and showed it to me..
Seongju shows it to his subjects. The subject looked at it with a magnifying glass for a while and then nodded..
It meant it was genuine..
“The king is very generous. How much do you plan to save??”
Jin Cheon-hee handed over the documents prepared in advance..
“This is the amount we want per year..”
“Umm… … . I plan on taking it big from the start. How on earth are you going to use this??”
“I plan to use it for medicinal purposes..”
Seongju nodded at Jin Cheonhee’s words..
“Soda water is perfect for rinsing the mouth and digestion. It is also used in laundry. It's also good for embalming..”
“yes. I'm trying to get as many as I can..”
There's a lot of hardship I've gone through so far..
I wanted to tear everything down if I could..
“Hehehe. I can't help this. I understand. There are a lot of soda stones anyway, so all you have to do is add more manpower.!”
‘Oh, thanks for the cool deal..’
Seongju was truly a generous man..
He invited people and held a banquet. There was no food, only alcohol..
However, no one seemed hungry..
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“First of all, I would like you to stamp the trade license..”
“Wow, you have an impatient personality. Are all the envoys of the Fire Empire like this??”
Something crazy is about to happen..
Jin Cheon-hee, who had experienced numerous uproars, knew..
Whatever the case, before it explodes, you need to leave a signature or a stamp on it.!
‘Anyway, is it normal for a city where even children don’t eat??!’
Only a contract, a big and beautiful contract, will save him from the mess ahead.!
Seeing Jin Cheon-hee like that, Yeo Ha-ryun sent a message..
[Bro, usually when I realize something is strange, I try to run away as soon as possible, but I don't try to get a seal first..]
[Ha-Ryun. Listen. If that happens, all the hard work will be of no value. If that guy turns into a monster or a monster later and goes crazy and a new castle lord takes over, you have to show it to him, right?.]
[……What kind of mess have you been through? My brother.]
Man, you been through it too.
It's a shame I can't remember.
