Congressman, Live Again - Episode 785
Chapter 785
Nanjing.
The heart of the former empire, the capital.
‘And now it is also the capital of Jiangsu Province..’
The Lord of Jiangsu naturally resides in Nanjing, and there is a separate garrison force in Nanjing, and several members of the imperial family also live there..
It is Baekrin-gun that has become a more highly developed area than those places. Baekrin-dong, where Baekrin Uigak of Baekrin-dong County is located, has become the largest city..
‘This is the economic snowball!’
In Baekrin-dong, there are even all the battlefields of the top ten merchants (a kind of bank-like place), and of course, there are also branches of the top ten merchants and large bureaus and clans to guard them..
The taxes they pay from their economic activities are literally enough to feed several villages, and their connections are also open to Baekrin Uigak..
In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that Jegalin, a nobleman who had this area as his hometown, now has a power comparable to that of the imperial family..
‘In fact, isn’t it the same treatment as royalty??’
I'm doing it to the point where it seems a bit dangerous..
In a way, the soldiers of Baekrin Uigak can be seen as a private army..
Of course, he is blindfolded and hiding within the strange framework of a powerful person, not a government official, but the emperor is showing tremendous favor to him..
It is not something new that the Zhuge family has been promoted to government positions and received generous salaries since ancient times..
Because Gaepajosa was already a high official of the Shu dynasty..
However, did a descendant of the Zhuge Dynasty, who had no particular ties to the imperial family and suffered extinction, ever rise to this level?.
‘Of course, I received the appointment as governor, but since you held the Baekrin Uigak, you were virtually promoted along with me..’
In the end, this profit cannot be compared to running a single sect..
Of course, the money to run the fief is also astronomical.…….
Surprisingly, they are making enough money to surpass that..
In other words, taxes are piling up enormously.!
‘Hahaha! Let’s start by creating a civil servant pension. I will make sure that even the bachelors of Seowon want to become civil servants..’
And you will feel the pressure of the intense workload. Still, there needs to be bait for our peeps to come to work..
‘Here, using this money as a foundation… Will we be able to carry out the waterworks and sewerage project for the entire Jiangsu Province that was given to us by the Emperor?.’
Half of this waterworks is owned by the country and half by Baeklin Uigak..
It hurts me that the emperor trusts me so much..
I was thinking of placing the remaining half as a stake in Baekrin County, but I decided to keep it as a public corporation under Baekrin Uigak..
If you… … When he was forced to step down from this position, he was worried that the next governor might use this water pipe to exploit the people..
‘This may be an arrogant thought. Maybe I don't trust people too much.’
Once a system that can audit water quality is completed even after he resigns from his position, he plans to sell the remaining shares to the empire..
‘Even if it is said that there is nothing we can do to destroy large quantities of alcohol, it may be possible to make it easier for the common people to obtain medicines and daily necessities such as soap that are commonly used in the Gohorn..’
Currently, just having no one going hungry in the county is already a huge gain..
I felt greedy, wishing I could go one step further from here..
Even a minor illness can lead to death if left untreated, so simply helping the common people get these minor things at a low cost is ultimately medical welfare..
‘I think the education system for lawmakers can be expanded further. Research shows that herbal farms are also quite successful..’
Rather than going to the mountains to dig them up, I plan to mass-produce some medicinal herbs in the fields..
The various council members at the research center are doing that..
No, senators only do research. Those who focus only on medicine do not do field work because they are vulnerable to the wind..
The members of the House of Representatives under them were working hard in the fields, which were not even in their power..
‘okay. Even if you call in workers to do the farming, in the end there are many things you have to do with your own hands..’
Their efforts are paying off these days..
After Master blew up several research teams, we are working even more frantically..
If Jin Tianxi is the carrot, Zhuge Lin is the whip..
The effect of the stick was strong because the carrot had been waved too far..
As I was quickly writing down my plan, I heard a knock on the door..
“Ooh, come in!”
Jashi came inside at the sound of a cheerful voice..
“You said you were working. That's true..”
“It was a turn-of-the-century trip full of adventure and action. Normally, I just brush around like this..”
“Somehow I feel like a different person.”
Jin Cheon-hee laughs at those words..
Jashi stared at Jin Cheonhee..
In the outside world, Jin Cheon-hee was a blind white saint and a swordsman who fought against blood missionaries and rakshashas..
However, Jin Cheon-hee of Baekrin Uigak is wrestling with a mountain of documents, with a silk blanket draped over both shoulders..
‘I don't know which is the true essence of this man..’
But one thing was certain.
‘He still speaks in a strange tone that is difficult to understand..’
In Joongwon, they call him Ilgwang..
daylight in the world.
“Come on, sit comfortably..”
“That's right.”
Jin Cheon-hee quickly removed the bamboo stick and made room. Then she puts tea in a teacup and sets it down in front of Jashi..
Jashi takes a sip of the tea that Jin Cheon-hee pours for him..
write. It's bitter but delicious.
“I came here determined to follow you, but what is my job here? Didn’t you ask me to come with you because you wanted something from me??”
“Oooh!”
Jin Tianxi looked at Jiashi with shining eyes..
“I was impressed that he was already eager to do something..”
“……Because I don’t like free food. You probably didn't just invite me as a guest..”
“yes you're right.”
Jin Cheon-hee burst out laughing and said:.
“Are you interested in saving people??”
Jashi, do you know the Tao?.
You have a very clear soul..
* * *
There is one fact that even Jin Cheon-hee didn’t know..
It is said that before preparing for Jegalin's departure, Yu Hao built a small shrine next to the research hall..
Rather than saying that I built it, it means that I roughly made it by gathering miscellaneous things I had around..
In the past, when my teacher was at the peak of his hobby of woodworking, he made various things as a test..
What I made at that time was a new house..
It was also a small birdhouse that could fit a bird the size of a baby's fist into and out of it..
It was made by the teacher and not by anyone else, so it is as big as a new house. And he was pretty sophisticated..
Yuho set it up and said that the spirit can stay here..
Then, he placed a fox clay pot that Jin Cheon-hee had made and baked as a hobby in front of the new house, said that this was enough, and walked away..
“No, it's too small! what kind of house is this?”
When Jin Cheon-hee grumbled, Jashi said.
“Surprisingly, Isha really liked it. Precious... Oh no… … . According to Director Yu, spirits are in some ways similar to flower pots, and their small bodies need small homes. If you build something grandiosely from the beginning, it will actually be harmful. In terms of plants, the pot is too big and they die from overwatering..”
“that… … I see..”
Jin Cheonhee sighed..
“As Isha grows, is the house getting bigger??”
“That's it. I'm glad that thanks to Isha, I can now use magic..”
“Still, since it is a young spirit, it would be impossible to use large spells like in the past..”
Jashi scratched his head at those words..
After scratching for a while, I started picking and choosing something, something, words..
“uh… therefore… … Support from Minister Yoo… no… … With support, I can use as much strength as before. Of course, it is only within the territory under Baeklin’s Pavilion..”
“You can do that with just support.?”
Jashi rolled his eyes..
“uh… … . It's a secret cheer. It's so secret that if I tell you in detail, I might get my liver eaten..”
“…….”
“Isha too… … that… … . He was able to live here thanks to Secretary Yoo's support(?). uh… That potato pig you made as a hobby... no, that…….”
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“It's a fox.”
“The fox Toyong is also well decorated in front of the new house, so he can stay safer. You made her, no, you made her, so it contains Director Yoo's support (?) even more..”
Jin Cheon-hee looked at the new house with suspicious eyes..
I looked down at the moss spread under the birdhouse, and the long pebbles that seemed to represent stepping stones in their own way..
It looks more like a miniature house than a shrine..
They also came out with the concept of a house where fairies live..
I thought it would make a good terrarium if I scooped it up and put it in a large tank..
“Well, I understand. Then it will be okay. First of all, it is said that Jashi can use magic, so he will create a magic corner under the Research Hall and receive help in various ways..”
jashi is useful.
Not just medicine.
Even if you just go to the culture room and use the spell for growth, it will help, and if you go to the herb garden at the research center and do the same thing, the congressmen will shed hot tears..
Jin Cheon-hee is a miniature... No, I said while looking down at the Isha shrine..
“If it’s okay, can I put a small nightstand in front of here? Put up a parasol, or even a large umbrella..”
Click, click, click!
Jashi's bone necklace shook violently..
“I like it.”
“Can I make a small bowl, spoon, and chopsticks to fit that table??”
Click, click, click!
“It's good.”
“While I'm at it, I think I should make a small egg pancake and put it on top..”
Jin Cheon-hee is a surgeon..
Ever since my past life, I have been strangely born with a sense of touch at my fingertips..
If it's a talent, it's a talent!
‘Now, let’s take a look at a new hobby..’
Master was good at making large and grand things, but Jin Cheon-hee liked making round and simple things that had a slightly scrappy, hand-made feel..
“While doing this, there is also a small swing.?”
“Let's make everything we can.”
“Oooh!”
Jin Cheon-hee clenched her fists as if she was happy..
“Come to think of it, Jashi, your skin color has started to become darker than before..”
“When you make a contract with a spirit, you pay a price. Of course, if you say it this way, it may feel similar to human sacrifice, but it is different. When I made a contract with the old spirit, what I offered was pigment. The spirit took the pigment from my body and helped me while I was in that area..”
“Sacrificing your soul was truly a forbidden practice..”
“That's the way it is. Now that the contract with the previous spirit has been broken, the original pigment has returned..”
When I first saw him, he was a man with no pigment on his body, so much so that I thought he was an albino..
Was it because of a contract with a spirit?.
“Then what kind of contract did you make with Isha??”
“Some of my hair, fingernails and toenails. Sometimes I cut it up and play with it as a toy..”
I think it would be good for hygiene to cut your nails on your own..
Looking at the hair, it didn't seem like much was cut off..
Just trimming the ends of my hair a little bit..
“Ohh?”
“Director Yoo… … from… In return for your support(?), I decided to offer my labor to Baekrin Uigak. So, as long as you are a resident employee of Baekrin Uigak, you can use magic here..”
‘That's reasonable.’
There is nothing lacking or excess.
The fact that it falls neatly resembles Yuho's personality..
So it seems that Jashi came to Jin Cheonhee first to ask for work..
Of course, even if that weren't the case, Jashi would probably come because he doesn't want to eat free food..
Jin Cheon-hee did not bother to dig into the relationship between Jashi and Yu-ho..
It may be better not to know about the private lives of graduate students..
Isn't this a merciless floor where both people can lose if the professor tries to dig in?.
‘I wish you both would stay by my side forever.’
Hehehe, I can’t go.!
Jin Cheon-hui ordered the construction of a shrine for Jia Shi..
In a world where non-science reigns supreme, magic, the pinnacle of shamanism, is also a subject of research, and when this magic can be applied to science and applied to medicine,.
I was confident that humanity could progress further..
After Isha settled in, the culture room at the research center began to function well..
Then one day, the members of the House of Representatives at the research center began placing fruits, confectionery, and edible items on an altar the size of a thumb in front of the small birdhouse..
Of course, the altar is so small that it is difficult to place even one altar..
Just cut it into quarters and place it small..
Then, the next day, there would be acorns in the shoe of the congressman who offered the offering..
So the members of the House of Representatives began to believe that squirrels lived inside the small shrine..
