Chapter 1054
Episode 1054
“That’s right. “We are ‘craftsmen.’”
Jin Cheon-hee shed a soft smile.
Cheolgeumbang is a bangpa that is closer to a merchant’s association rather than a gangho sect, and in fact, it is not considered a sect even in the gangho clan.
However, once they reach the upper teens of the world, they tend to possess military force to protect themselves.
‘The scale is nothing compared to the giant Bangpa, but it is the size of four or five small to medium-sized sects combined.’
of course.
Masters at the top also need to learn their own martial arts.
In Gangho’s martial arts world, if you only have money, you never know when and where you will end up dead.
The same goes for these iron shoes.
When Jin Cheon-hee saw it, inaction was at its peak.
Still, at this level, it is unlikely that a person in a powerhouse will suffer a violent death.
According to the current directory of Geumhyeolbang, there are approximately 100 to 200 masters who have reached the level of Hwagyeong in Gangho.
It is estimated that there are approximately 1,000 masters at Transcendence.
As long as you are among the top 1,000 people in this wide and wide empire, you will still be able to preserve your name.
However… from the perspective of Jin Cheon-hee as a member of the National Assembly, the overall inaction was unbalanced.
maybe.
‘It seems that he spent a lot of money to receive the revised Great Law and then took elixirs and forced himself to do nothing.’
Well, if you are a merchant and not a warrior, there is no need to desperately learn martial arts.
Even so.
He is strong and boneless, and his hands are covered in calluses.
Craftsmen describe this as smelling like iron.
This means that it is not the actual smell of metal, but rather the atmosphere.
‘You come from a blacksmith background. Well, I heard that Cheolgeumbang was a store and a bangpa founded by a blacksmith…’
The history of Cheolgeumbang is about 200 years.
It can be said to be a fairly historic organization.
Jin Cheon-hee figured it out at a glance and spoke.
He stopped laughing after taking a sip of tea and asked quite seriously.
“I am meeting with Governor Jin Tianxi, His Majesty’s personal physician and renowned throughout the world. It is said that Soin is just Cheolgeumsin, who runs a small business. “Did you call the child over for some reason?”
Although he has a smile on his face, his voice is firm.
He appears to be in his late forties on the outside, but thanks to his elixirs and martial arts, he looks young. In fact, he is close to seventy.
‘After all, martial arts is the secret to eternal life.’
Isn’t learning proper health techniques, avoiding life-threatening internal injuries, and living reasonably well the elixir of youth?
Jin Cheon-hee thought about it and answered.
“You’re telling me that the Ark of Iron Geumbang, known as the world’s top ten merchants, runs a small merchant’s association. Isn’t it said that merit and merit are proportional? “It seems inappropriate to say such a thing.”
Proportion of merit and demerit.
An old idiom meaning that excessive politeness is not polite.
It also meant that such behavior that excessively humbles oneself is rude to the other person.
Because it can be seen as a kind of ridicule or deception!
“Compared to Grand Master Jin, the lord of the Jinhyeolbang, the sworn brother of Lord Somoon of Haomun, and the lord of the White House, the greatest royal palace in the world, isn’t I just the owner of a small business? “It is not an exaggeration.”
If a warrior competes with his sword, a merchant competes with his mouth.
Like embroidering a table, each person’s words land on the drawing board.
“You have great sarcasm.”
“You’re being sarcastic. It’s just… I’m just a little upset that you’re only doing business with Geumhyeolbang.”
Ten intentions were contained in one word, and Cheol Geum-shin divided the number with his experience as a merchant and craftsman, and Jin Cheon-hee divided the number with the political power that had been polished through his past life and present life with Hyeonwon Jeondansingong.
“ha ha ha. I thought that would be the case, so I asked the emperor to discuss whether I could do something good, and brought the Iron Ark to him. However, you do know that the proceeds from this must belong to the imperial family, right?”
Cheolgeumshin thought.
‘young. If you’re a young guy, he’ll usually take out his cards first and fight. ‘You’re using a rather cunning trick to start a story by involving the emperor, who is your confidant.’
Obviously, the guy in front of me is a young guy who hasn’t even gotten married, but for some reason, I feel like I’m dealing with an old merchant who has probably seen his grandchildren.
Cheolgeumshin said.
“Is that what you mean? Anyway, what kind of work is it? “I don’t think it’s an ordinary job introduced by Governor Jin, who made Baekrin Uigak the best Uigak in the world and Geumhyeolbang the best in the world.”
He gets lucky as if he were expecting it.
For merchants, emotions are ultimately weapons.
If you respond like this and it is nothing special or just average, you will immediately withdraw your expression and put the transaction at a disadvantage.
You probably don’t know this, but Il-gwang says, ‘You can look forward to it!’ and says something in a bright voice.
‘It looks like you’re pretty confident, but it’s a shame.’
For a business usually conducted in the imperial palace, there is almost nothing unusual.
In a conservative bureaucratic system, almost everything that can come out is there, and anything that seems outstanding has already been tested in other provinces, so it is bound to catch the attention of Cheolgeumsin.
‘Seeing as the emperor is actively taking action, there is a high probability that it is a weapon.’
Especially these days, enemies outside the empire are becoming stronger.
Aren’t weapons essential in this kind of tension?
‘And since it uses our workshop, it must be related to iron.’
Then, isn’t there only one answer?
‘Even more so, we can’t listen. daylight.’
While working in the military industry, I have made all kinds of weapons that I thought were ingenious.
Although it is not the level of new recruits as described in Kangho, everything that soldiers can carry and items equivalent to the treasured swords used by Dongchang and Geumuiwi pass through his workshop and upper level.
However, what Jin Cheon-hee took out was a strange-shaped object.
“What is?”
“Uh… it’s a threshing machine. To be exact, it is a step-type thresher, and it shakes out grains of grain in an instant. “Wouldn’t it be a lot less work if we just polish this up?”
“thresher?”
‘Are you sure you’re asking this iron god to make farming tools?’
I looked down at the design in bewilderment.
It is a method that uses tracheal implantation, but it is not at the level of technology required to create a nasal sinus, and it is not that difficult.
It was a structure that could be easily replicated in his metal room.
However, it is something that a local blacksmith could never make.
In other words, it is a cultural product that has gone far beyond the level used in farming households.
“Are you telling us to make farmers use this?”
This implies that the unit price is not given. However, Jin Cheon-hee remained calm.
“Once you try this, you’ll be addicted. And once people get used to convenience, they cannot tolerate being uncomfortable again.”
“Individual farmers will never be able to pay this price.”
“You just have to buy it at the village level. That will be enough. Also, the government said it would cover half the price.”
Cheolgeumsin’s head turns quickly.
‘Money… makes money!’
If you live in a village, it’s okay even if it’s a bit expensive.
And the coffin gives half of it?
That alone means that you have already made your money and have some left over.
Suddenly,
Jin Cheon-hee’s face comes closer.
“How about this?”
Refusal is rejection!
But this old merchant also has something to say.
“It certainly looks like it has business potential, but it seems like there is a possibility that it could be copied and sold elsewhere. “Didn’t quacks run rampant during the last smallpox vaccination?”
‘Tsk. ‘It hits where it hurts.’
In this era, there is no medical exam.
We live in an era where, rather than taking a test and being given a license to become a member of the National Assembly, you just say that you are a member of the National Assembly, and if you say that your father is a member of the National Assembly, you are a member of the National Assembly.
So, when the smallpox vaccination became effective, there were many cases where quacks from all over the country gave fake smallpox vaccinations and received money.
Each time, the government stepped in to catch them, but the reporting rate was also low.
The villagers said, ‘Aren’t we one family?’ There is a sentiment that strangely pops up and says, ‘We are one family, so this vaccination against smallpox is not a quack.’ It also goes back to the miraculous syllogism of ‘I’m really going to listen to it because my family plugged it in.’
I don’t know how much trouble Baekrin’s office went through to catch these guys.
And although this threshing machine is a bit complicated on the inside, it looks like it can be made similarly from the outside.
“If it’s made incorrectly, it looks like people could get hurt or it could break down frequently. Then, the number of village-level purchases of step threshing machines will gradually decrease.”
Just as you might feel, ‘It’s dangerous to put salty ondol on the floor,’ incorrectly made salty ondol reduces trust in the genuine product.
“So, I heard that the Emperor wants to issue an edict regarding copyright.”
“Copyright?”
“To put it simply, if you can prove that you made the coffin first, you will be given ownership of it.”
“It seems difficult to see much benefit.”
Again, the reporting rate is very low in this era.
Because there is no phone, the pipes are far away, but the spirit of ‘we are one family’ is close.
“But it is a justification for the government to step forward. Additionally, the imperial family will take a portion of the shares.”
Justification.
That’s pretty important.
“If it is applied, at least there will be less big trouble.”
In short, there will be no major companies releasing competing products.
Even with that confirmation, things can go quite smoothly.
“….”
Cheolgeumsin closes his mouth and rolls the abacus in his head.
The answer has come out.
“…great. Let’s give it a try. But… I’d like to get some help.”
“Help?”
He is indeed a merchant.
Just trying to take one more thing with you while working.
Jin Cheon-hee spoke softly, intending to refuse in any case.
“Please feel free to tell me.”
“I would like you to pass on the Meat Standard Deviation Administrative Law to our sect.”
Meat standard deviation administrative law!
It is truly the flower and masterpiece of administrative law.
There is no particular reason to ask me to pass this on.
This is because the place where Jin Cheon-hee learned this was at an educational center run by the royal family.
Imperial Institute of Education.
That is, public education.
I tried to learn by bribing people who were government officials, but the funny thing is, there weren’t many people who were good at teaching others no matter what they did.
Officials who can explain it cost a lot of bribes.
Also, if you use that education law for your own personal use, it could give you an excuse to be punished, so there were fewer people.
‘This may sound crazy in our world, but…’
That’s what imperial power is.
The king of absurdity.
in other words. This is a request to allow them to use the Meat Standard Deviation Administrative Act through the power of Jin Cheon-hee!
Of course, this was introduced by Baeklin Uigak long ago and has already been introduced throughout Jiangsu Province.
But since Jin Cheon-hee is the developer, it can be seen as a developer privilege… In the first place, Joo Wang-ya is the older sister who can hit the emperor on the back of the head….
“Hmm, that’s good. “I will do it for you.”
It was also beneficial for Jin Cheon-hee.
‘It is also a loss to rely only on Sacheondangga for medical supplies.’
The scalpels and needles needed at Baekrin Uigak do not need to be the most treasured swords in the world.
In the first place, that was impossible.
You just need to be able to maintain a certain level of good quality.
If so, you should be able to make it in this iron room.
‘If you open up various routes, the unit price is bound to go down.’
This is also the heart of a merchant.
So the two merchants joined hands.
“Oh, by the way, can I ask you one thing?”
“yes?”
“I mean the ice sword. There is a record of our ancestors planning it a thousand years ago. “I heard later that when he went abroad, he rented a blacksmith shop and made it separately.”
“hmm?”
Suddenly, a story I heard at the North Sea Ice Palace came to mind.
-It is said that the craftsman who made the ice crystal sword left somewhere again, but according to the records, he was a woman and had a quite eccentric personality.
-It was written that, as a woman, she continued to make famous swords while working alone at the blacksmith shop, which was too much for even her husband. The records say he uses unparalleled martial arts.
-I am a person from a thousand years ago. If I were to settle down somewhere and research the faction, I might have the chance to see later people. However, I don’t know if our descendants will use such precious martial skills to work as a blacksmith.
‘So, the person she left behind is here after a thousand years?’
I thought he would have given up working as a blacksmith since he had unrivaled martial skills.
Or, some speculated that he would be buried somewhere in the wilderness and create a famous sword.
However, it does not seem like martial arts was taught that much, but rather blacksmithing… As a military merchant who made a lot of money, he pursued extreme efficiency.
‘But I understand that Cheolgeumbang makes good swords, but they don’t make Jibo-level swords?’
Money is an important motivator.
Just like Mo Yong Sega did, so does this one.
‘I never thought I would see it go by like this.’
Jin Cheon-hee feels fate.
Unexpectedly, everything fit together like a puzzle.
“I feel strange that future generations can see the traces of our ancestors like this. If you don’t mind, can I see it just once?”
