I Am This Murim’s Crazy Bitch – 292



[Episode 292] Samcheonpo

As I rode the carriage and headed towards the upper street the desolate scene gradually disappeared and surprisingly a very normal cityscape unfolded.

“Are you okay?”

“Wouldn’t the Fall River overflow every year?”

For a tributary of the Yellow River the Nakha River is straight and narrow so it experiences floods every year.

Therefore it is common for upper and military officers to settle in the highlands at the foot of Gamsan Mountain and at this point the water transport warehouses along the river are also left empty and moved to the highlands.

“But have you done the flood control work yet?”

“That is not an easy task.”

The river is straight but narrow. However because the water volume is large the current of the river becomes rough and fierce.

It has a lot of water a deep river and a strong current so it is said to be a very difficult watercourse for humans to control in the first place.

“The government gave us a great favor by releasing gold and silver after a long time but it ended up like this. hmm. “Actually you have to think a little bit about whether it’s a blessing or not.”

“What does that mean again?”

“Wouldn’t such a large scale project cost a huge amount of gold and silver? There are already a lot of kickbacks starting from the business selection and there are already rumors that Pojeong Temple in Henam Province is changing so I was planning to make a big deal out of it before I retire. There are people who say that. Of course believe it or not. “There is a rumor that Baocheong Temple in Henan Province is quite blue but how can you know what a person is like?”

The imperial family is salty but once they open their pockets their hands are as big as Buddha.

It is said that gold and silver are literally coming down one after another in several carriages.

So even after the officials take a reasonable amount of money it is still a huge amount of money.

They handed over the rest along with the design and told them to build it as is so the company that received the work built it well and took advantage of the remaining gold and silver.

“Is that it? “Isn’t there anything like watching whether construction is done properly or not?”

“Originally the water control manager has to monitor the construction and manage it to make sure it is going well.”

However the position of water control manager is a very mysterious position that exists only in name and has no substance.

It’s not that the government doesn’t send people as management supervisors but since they don’t understand the design from the beginning and are unfamiliar with construction you can’t tell even if you look closely.

Even just watching can be said to be a remarkable feat and these supervisors are usually talented people with clairvoyance so they have the ability to understand how construction is carried out even while being entertained by women at a high-end restaurant.

Of course I heard Gultaran say that. That may or may not be the case believe it or not.

From what I’ve heard it’s really crazy but believe it or not Cheong thinks it can’t be that crazy.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the Naknyeong branch of Taechung Sangbang there were a lot of poor people who were beggars.

“Oh thank you. thank you.”

“It’s okay to say hello. next!”

Men with the word ‘Cheong’ written in large letters on their bodies were distributing grains one by one to the civilians standing in line.

What is unique is that the men who distribute the grain do all their evil deeds which are quite unusual.

However as Cheong watches in real time bad karma is deducted one point at a time.

what? Where did grandpa gather all the bad guys and set up a business?

hmm. A fugitive from the Demonic Cult or something like that?

Since my grandfather came from that background he may have accepted people from that area.

He said he was preparing to provide alms but seeing that he had already done so and that his bad karma was decreasing made Cheong feel a little bitter again.

At times like this I have very complicated thoughts. The deeper I think the worse it is for my mental health so Cheong forced himself to look away.

ah. Seeing Seol Sojeo’s face is healing.

I don’t think lookism is good but what can I do when I feel pretty when I see something pretty?

As Cheong gets out of the carriage he hears a gasping sound.

As Cheong moved his head a man slumped down and looked at him with an expression of disbelief.

Why are you doing that? Where does it hurt?

Another employee who was moving the bale wondering if it was contagious saw Cheong and immediately threw down the bag and bent down to expose the top of his head.

“miss! “Are you a young lady?”

“Oh my god you are so beautiful!”

“It’s an honor again! “It is not the glory of three lives it is the glory of ten thousand lives!”

“Cheongse! Cheongse! Cheongcheongse!”

And then they came rushing in. What is it?

Cheong blinked at the extremely extreme passionate and fiery hospitality.

There are degrees of hospitality but isn’t this a situation where complete strangers bow their heads with tears in their eyes?

“Why are you like this?”

“That is it. Are you guys not even doing what you were doing? “No matter how much your heart is filled with seeing the young lady’s beautiful face don’t you do it right?”

“oh. “Excuse me.”

Geultaran’s shouting causes the upper-level employees to retreat in a hurry.

“Hehe actually the employees are all people who have received great favor from Lord Choi? Yes that kind of thing does that happen? So it seems like my heart was really full after seeing you.”

Cheong narrowed his eyes at him.

Since when did my grandfather gather a bunch of people like this by saying he was doing favors in Gangho?

Moreover these guys have some unusual bad karma.

I guess they are escapees from the Demonic Cult?

You said it was Seolgasanghoe but did you orchestrate some kind of group escape and steal people?

Cheong has no awareness of himself as a Heavenly Demon.

To Cheong the Heavenly Demon was just an enemy he had already defeated so only the traces of a parasite whose ego had already collapsed remained in a corner of his mind.

All he could do was laugh as he got hit by the Pacheonmagi stuck in the corner of the danjeon.

Therefore I did not know that Choi Lyon was once again in collusion with the Demonic Cult taking root as a sect in the central plains and burning a very evil ambition to make the Qing the highest and most immortal and sacred idol.

However Seoliri’s details were a bit unusual so it seemed unreasonable for her to be acting like a patient.

“Seol Sojeo? Aren’t you feeling very unwell? “Take a pulse.”

“no.”

“Yes or no I would say it’s just like that. Then if you ask me several times at least answer them in order. “Are you saying you’re feeling fine or that you don’t need a pulse?”

“all right. yes. yes.”

I understand that I will answer in order.

I feel fine and don’t need a pulse so yes. yes.

The theory is that if you are told to do something you will obey it obediently.

Cheong smiled and nodded.

Still it’s nice to hear what you’re saying.

When Seoliri left him in the room to rest Geoltaran made a fuss after checking the gold in the carriage.

“Oh my I can’t figure out where you got so much gold and the end of the young lady’s power. From a criminal’s perspective I am amazed by the infinitely great power of the young lady and I can’t help but be moved by the overwhelming grace. I can’t. How can such a kind-hearted and merciful Hongbok exist in this world? Ah it must have come from heaven.”

“no. “Why is it so bad…”

“no. Aren’t people bound to be stingy with their own coins while shining their eyes on other people’s gold? “I’m so touched that you can so casually give up such a large amount of money that you will spend your whole life playing and eating…”

“No whatever. It’s not like I earned the money through all that hard work in the first place. “Don’t be too strict.”

“Sigh. Thanks to her kindness there were no major setbacks in the relief work. The money was already dry. “I requested additional funds from the headquarters but it would take a year to go and a year to come.”

“Are you out of money?”

“oh my. Don’t even talk. How much do you waste on food ingredients? The price of grain is already nearly ten times the previous price. “For now we are giving out the grain we have for one day but until additional funds arrive we are worried that it will be difficult to buy and replenish food and that we will have to suck our fingers.”

And then they start praising again –

“But at a time like this the young lady herself descended in her precious body and gave me gold with grace like the sun and the sea so it was truly-”

“stop. stop. My face is sold when I listen to Mistress. Do it in moderation. Is this enough? Will restoration work or something like that cost more money?”

“Okay. I’ll be honest with you. “It will be difficult to complete the construction and it will be able to feed the city for at least 20 days.”

“Huh. It’s not even gold it’s more than 40 coffins but it only lasts for 20 days? “What kind of relief project are you doing? Are you planning on throwing a party that will make your stomach explode?”

“That is because it is not easy to secure grain even by paying gold and silver. Now they are the ones who will ask for thirty or fifty times as much as ten times the amount of gold and silver and they will not give even that much.”

“Aren’t they complete thieves? why?”

“Merchants are usually like that.”

Although the flood damage was unfortunate it was a golden opportunity for merchants to make their fortunes.

Even if the house is preserved people whose houses are immediately washed away by floods will have nothing to eat immediately after the mud and muddy water fills up.

At this time the price of grain is raised and sold and if you say you have no money they cut off expensive IOUs so you can’t starve right away so if you buy grain all your money will soon be lost and all that’s left is debt.

The debt is entirely the merchant’s property.

“No those guys….”

Cheong frowned.

“Anyway in order to provide relief properly we need to secure grain first.”

“It’s ten times as much now but if you give them gold they’ll ask for twenty or thirty times as much. If you lend them just a few handfuls of grain they will later turn into fields cows and slaves. Aren’t they the ones who will sell it for gold or silver?”

Cheong shook his head.

“It’s because I didn’t convey the truth properly. “If I asked you to sell it to me with a clear heart would they turn away?”

“Oh my Miss. “It would be great if the world were like that…”

“ruler. let’s go. “Now that I’m talking about it I have to go buy it.”

Gultaran stamped his feet in sorrow.

Because the young lady is still pure I am concerned that if she continues like this she will be disappointed when she finds out how heartless the world is.

However this could be said to be an action that underestimates Cheong’s sincerity too much.

This is because Cheong is sincere when it comes to spoiling those he doesn’t like.

So the place Cheong headed to was the gate of Taecheong Sangdan.

At that moment the civilians who heard the news of the rescue had gathered like a cloud.

On that. Cheong climbed up to the desk where relief food was distributed and took a seat.

“Everyone unfortunately there isn’t much grain left.”

The expressions of the people in line darken.

As it gets darker the further back you go the people at the end of the line look almost despairing.

No grain? I don’t have anything to eat right now. The other tops cost 1 nyang per handful…

As a murmur spreads in the audience Cheong stretches his fist toward the sky.

Deeng….

The clear sound of Tathagata’s kidney calms the commotion of the crowd at once.

Cheong smiled the most beautiful smile in the world and continued speaking.

“However the girl wanted to use her personal wealth to fill the grain and distribute it.”

As a result people’s complexions brighten again.

You could say that she was a natural at dealing with people as she was very capable of squeezing and unclenching her hands.

As people looked at Cheong’s beautiful face as if fascinated Cheong spoke again.

“However they say that it is difficult to secure grain even if there is gold and silver so if we all come together and ask you to sell the grain won’t you be grateful and open the warehouse? “Shall we all go ask for a favor together?”
