I Am This Murim’s Crazy Bitch – 299



EP.299 Fire in Jangan

It was said that the quantity of grain purchased by the government at twice the market price was enough to last until the fall.

In the first place it was a transit city next to a falling river so it was a town with a lot of warehouses.

Since expensive warehouses are already occupied in good locations in Nyangyang many goods with low value relative to their volume such as grain are moved to Naknyeong.

However there was also something that Gultaran did not bother to say.

The number of mouths in the city has decreased significantly.

This spring was when the flood control work was completed so it was a time when people were at peace in the newly built Gangeon and riverbanks.

In fact because of this a huge river of water surged in to the point where the castle walls collapsed and it was during the night that the strong words broke out again.

In the area along the river that was completely swept away families were literally wiped out and there was no one left to hold a funeral. Even if that wasn’t the case houses collapsed and were crushed and water flooded the area causing people to drown making it impossible to calculate the extent of the damage.

However it was not a message to be given to the kind-hearted Supreme Lord of Heaven who would endure resentment for the people he did not know saying that he could eat for a long time because the number of people who would eat it had drastically decreased.

So Cheong just asked back calmly.

“There are that many? “Wasn’t there a need to go all the way around?”

“Oh that’s not true. You did a very wise thing. “If you think of a city that has been hit by a flood wouldn’t merchants from all over the world be so eager to get rid of everything?”

When there is a flood the prices of nearby grains rise all at once as if promised.

Actually it’s a promise.

It is said that the price was raised by uniting in a secret meeting of merchant owners and the price rose sharply after making a promise.

Then when you try to buy it in a flood-hit area they sell it at a high price and when you sell it in your own neighborhood they charge you a high price because they don’t have the stock because the flood-hit people in the other area are sweeping it away.

Then if you are forced to grind your teeth as the price of grain increases tenfold in an instant and become a water ghost you will only be submerged in water and you will cause trouble even to other people’s neighborhoods.

Hatred is directed not at the merchants who sold it at high prices but at the poor people hit by the disaster so the merchants excitedly raise their prices and pretend to be pitiful.

However if grains to be eaten are stored up until the fall merchants in the vicinity will have no reason to raise prices and the people of Naknyeong will no longer have to be criticized for no reason.

“under. “Those so-called merchants can’t do business with each other.”

But it is unavoidable.

Because in order to succeed as a merchant you need the heart of such a vicious mongrel.

A bastard in the world who can trample on others without any remorse and laugh at the last coin of victims who are left bleeding and crying tears of shame is the quality of a great merchant.

In response Geoltaran engraved the words of the Supreme Lord of the Heavenly Demon deep within him.

Of course I have no intention of engraving it just on myself.

Before the end of this year all members of the Heavenly Demon Church’s Bijak Department in the Central Plains will have these words engraved in their hearts.

This is what the Supreme Lord of the Heavenly Demon means: Merchants are the bastards of the world that can be beaten and manipulated.

Later when a new era opens they will become the lowest of all professions.

“hmm. “Did you get the list?”

“yep. That’s right. However since it is a daily wage table rather than a list I think that about half of the people are missing.”

A non-existent person is of course a person whose name is only listed on the daily wage table and who does not actually exist.

In any case according to official records the daily wage was officially paid because the work was done officially.

However it is unknown how the daily wages of those who did not exist were taken care of.

“Real gold and silver are leaking all the time. I don’t know how the more you dig the more rotten water comes out. But she’s annoying…”

Cheong scratched the back of his head.

Then Geultaran smiled brightly and asked with a smile on his face.

“Oh my gosh! It’s annoying. “Can’t all of those things just be ordered to the servants of our office!”

“Oh. “Why do I have to manipulate my superiors?”

“That’s right. that. Lord Choi will be so honored if he finds out later! “You asked me to provide all convenience!”

“But an old man is an old man.”

“And me! If a small person has nothing to do they are so anxious that they cannot endure it so please if there is something to do please give it to the small person! “That is the way to save small people!”

It was a cry filled with such strong will that he would do whatever he was told.

It’s not just words.

The eyes are so sparkly that it almost gives the illusion of a dog fussing after hearing the sound of a walk.

Indeed it is an opportunity to carry out the work ordered directly by the Heavenly Majesty so how could an agent of Bijakbu who had been thoroughly brainwashed from a young age to serve the Heavenly Majesty as his sole purpose in life pass up this opportunity?

What is Cheongdo in front of those earnest eyes?

If you say it this way I think it’s okay to pamper yourself a little.

“When I heard Jeomsoy speak the other day it didn’t seem like the engineers mobilized for the construction were soft-spoken or anything. So if you ask the workers I think they will tell you all kinds of details such as their names and what they do.”

“iced coffee! If it’s something like that you should leave it to a servant! “It’s already a time when the city’s population is flocking to the relief aid so if you ask at that time it won’t be that much of a hassle.”

“oh. also. It is said that a person can easily solve anything if he or she has the brains to do it. “Is that right?”

“Wow. Thank you. “I will cherish this joy the glory of life for the rest of my life and I will never forget it even after I die.”

Cheong chuckled.

This guy always makes a fuss like this whenever I say a compliment.

Doesn’t the old man give you compliments?

but. Old people are a bit like that.

“But do you think there was a problem with the flood control project?”

“The designer said there were no problems with the design.”

Rather he emphasized that there should be no such thing as rain at this level so there must be a reason for the disaster.

“I’m on my way to Jongnam Mountain anyway. I heard that the headquarters of Jangheung Sangbang is in Jangan? If you have any problems please stop by. okay. “Well what can I say but now that I know I can’t just ignore it right?”

Cheong continued speaking with a wide smile.

“If something happens someone has to take responsibility.”

In his eyes a color that was nowhere to be seen quietly flickered in an ominous manner.

At that Taran had tears in his eyes again.

Aren’t the Heavenly Majesty’s eyes overflowing with light like the end of the world?

Such fearsome majesty!

Heavenly Majesty the eternal owner of my soul!

Separately from that the Shingyo Bijakbu was immediately dispatched as a payment.

[You are planning to head to Changan]

The recipient is Taechung Sangbangju Choi Lyon.

The destination is Xuejia Chamber of Commerce in Jigui County Hubei Province.

—-

Geultaran will figure it all out on his own so get some rest while he figures it out.

Isn’t it like he’s giving me a look in his eyes asking me to please stay?

Anyway I have to find out the key engineers for the construction so why should I stay?

They announced that they were going to hold a banquet in the evening but the atmosphere of the city was like this. What kind of banquet was this? We decided to just have a simple and generous meal and returned to our lodgings.

So I decided to take a bath change my clothes take some food with me eat dinner and get some rest.

Why on earth did you name the room of the highest dignity of the three thousand worlds or guest hall in such a grandiose manner?

Of course in large manors in the middle of the country the best room and the next best room are usually prepared for guests.

This was because it was natural to rank guests.

It is a common custom and etiquette in Jungwon to at least serve the chief guest and the second-ranked guest separately.

So originally the best rooms were given slightly grandiose names.

The Murimmaeng was Mucheon-gak and the priestess’ gate also had a luxury guesthouse called Yohwa-gak which was rarely used and was used as a warehouse.

But what is the Samchon World Highest Dignity Office?

If we say that ceremonial rites are proportional wouldn’t that make the guests feel more burdened?

For reference Gwarye means that too much courtesy means being rude so being too polite can actually be rude.

Of course Cheong did not know that this grand guest hall existed for only one person in the world.

I don’t know anything else so how would I know about the fact that I didn’t bother to tell Cheong and kept it hidden?

In any case it was the Samcheon World’s Highest Dignity Room which was larger on the inside than on the outside.

What this means is that the removable walls were built in preparation for when the Supreme Lord of Heaven came to visit so they were all removed and the entire building was converted into a single room so the inside is much larger than the room appears from the outside.

And then there was another luxurious luxurious bed and the woman crouching on it lifted her head and looked up at the sound of the door opening.

“Please come.”

Cheong opened his eyes wide.

what? What did I just hear? Is it an auditory hallucination?

Did Seol Sojeo say hello first? really?

It was a very unexpected welcome.

“Seol Sojeo. “Are you feeling okay?”

“no…”

“No don’t just say it’s okay let’s go to the doctor. “Didn’t you just say no?”

“yes…”

It’s not that he wasn’t but he was sweating profusely like a patient suffering from a very serious illness.

Without ice balls you will be sweating profusely.

I thought it was like that because I saw him sweating profusely the whole time in the carriage but now I see that it wasn’t like that and he was in a really bad state.

“madam. So see it sooner rather than later. Please be patient. “I’ll bring a doctor.”

So the doctor who looked like a immortal looked at the pulse and said –

“Tsk tsk how could you treat a person and a woman like this? But again it’s strange. “I have never seen anyone so badly injured in my eighty years of life.”

These were the words of a pale old lawmaker clicking his tongue.

But doesn’t that sound a bit strange?

So Cheong asked back.

“Are you hurt well?”

“then. “You got hurt badly.”

“No if you get hurt you’re hurt. What’s a good hurt?”

“joy. Well usually it’s one of two things.”

Did the losing side do everything they could to ensure that they didn’t turn out to be idiots and that there were no aftereffects?

“Or the person who got hit was so artistic that they treated it evenly so that one part didn’t break or get damaged and look like a sick person.”

“Is it true that it fits well? “Do you have any?”

“then. What about those beggars? Even though you get hit so hard that you get dusted after a while you feel fine as if you never got hit again. “Once you get used to anything you get a knack for it so if you get beat up every day you get a knack for getting beat up.”

“ah. “That’s it.”

When it comes to the knack for getting hit it can be said that he is an expert who is not missing anywhere in Cheongdo.

It seems like they are handling it well.

But where would the theory that she is no different from the princess of the North Sea ever come true?

They probably haven’t learned the right tricks so the bandits have perfected it very carefully.

In the first place didn’t you just beat him up without even using a weapon saying that you had to eat him?

“hmm. so. “Are you saying it’s okay?”

“There is a crack in the bone. And it’s very evenly distributed across the arms and legs. But you’ll get better if you get some rest. It gets better if you apply medicine. If you take medicine you will heal faster. “I was injured so badly in the first place that I don’t have much to look at.”

Is this Rep. Yong Han?

From what you say you sound like a quack.

However not only was the lawmaker wanted by Geultaran impossible to be a quack but the old man who had corrected the law in his eighties was said to be a lawmaker so I wondered if he would have been in the ranks of doctors just based on his accumulated experience.

“hmm. “You’re saying you’ll get better if you rest well right?”

“okay. ah. however. that’s right. I heard that the young lady is doing a big charity business? Then why don’t you just give the old man ten golden crowns?”

“Hmm. “Suddenly?”

“Right now my house is collapsing and I have nothing to eat so I’m not in a good mood. With a flood like this it’s easy just to not die. Do you think that plagues spread after floods for no reason? We need to quickly collect the corpses clean them and give medicine to those who are sick before they become even more ill. “Is it a penny or two?”

“ah. I see. How many Geolta-rans have left now? Is there more than ten tubes? To the senior member here-”

“Eh. “Tsk tsk.”

The lawmaker clucks his tongue as he cuts off Cheong’s words.

Cheong let out an aggrieved voice.

“No why? “I’ll give it to you.”

“Well if I just bring gold to the doctor where will the medicine come from? If the medicine springs forth who is making the medicine? “What can an old congressman do on his own?”

“ah.”

After listening to it it’s like that again.

“Gultaran. The old doctor here says he will provide medicine to the city. Can Taechung Sangbang help him? “I only thought about food and reconstruction but I couldn’t think about anything else.”

“oh my. Don’t ask questions just give orders. How dare we criticize what you say. Even if you tell me to take up a firewood and jump into the fire I will do just that.”

It’s a scary sound that says you’ll die but when you listen to it with the characteristic flattering sound it’s not at all persuasive.

So Cheongdo just listened and laughed.

Because Cheong didn’t have the ability to read the mind.
