Episode 151. Hyungjumok (5)

Boxes that look precious begin to pile up in front of Sonbo.

Sun Zhao’s ancestral tablets appear to be much more numerous than Sun Quan’s.

Sonbo stared at the stack of boxes with his mouth wide open.

Bangtong approached the box and spoke with a satisfied smile on his lips.

“This box is no ordinary box. Here, look at the patterns on the box. They are the patterns painstakingly carved line by line by the famous craftsmen of Xingzhou.

And look at these beautiful godmother figures embroidered all over the box. This is what it takes to be called a true godmother… What do you think?”

The speech of the shaman was like that of a street vendor possessed by a shaman.

Why are there so many shamans selling medicine in the world? It is because there are people who close their eyes and ears and just nod their heads.

And Sonbo was like an ignorant worm, completely swayed by Bangtong’s persuasion.

“Certainly…. You are right. Although I don’t know much about my godmother, her graceful appearance must be something of the highest quality.”

Pang Tong, who had succeeded in persuading Sun Bo, snickered at Sun Quan’s messenger.

“You can tell it’s a precious item just by looking at the box. But the real value is inside.”

After finishing speaking, Bangtong slowly opened the box.

Son Bo swallowed hard and looked at the slowly revealing entrance to the box.

‘The box alone must be valuable, but how many valuable things must the box contain!’

Meanwhile, the person who was most uncomfortable in this place was Sun Quan’s messenger who had been very excited just a moment ago. He was looking around the room with a half-sad face.

‘This is a big problem. If this continues, I will not be able to avoid great trouble from my lord…’

But no matter what Sun Quan’s messenger thought, the box was wide open.

As the contents were revealed, Sonbo’s pupils were pulled taut like a bowstring.

“This, this is!”

Smooth silk from Gyojusan spread on the bottom of the box.

On the soft Gyojusan silk, the mother-of-pearls were shining as if showing off themselves.

Chuwoo also maintained a firm appearance, as if he had plucked the feathers of a freshly hunted eagle.

I only opened one box. There were still several boxes left unopened.

Son Bo was so shocked that there was nothing left to be surprised about.

“Wow… How come there are so many of the cult leader’s specialties….”

Bangtong opened his mouth with a snicker.

“Look, you can see that the box contains the cult leader’s specialties. These are all gifts from Son Hyung-ju to his uncle, Son Yeo-reung.”

Son Bo nodded with eyes like a man bewitched by a beautiful woman.

“Oh, that’s right….”

Bang Tong, who was laughing cheerfully, turned his gaze and stared at Sun Quan’s messenger. Then, he raised one side of his mouth and said.

“One Son Yeo-reung, Son Nam-hoe’s messenger still remains here. If this is the case, there may be some problems conveying the will of the lord….”

“Oh, don’t worry! I’ll send you out right away.

Has the lion not gone out yet? I will be lenient in forgiving my recent misfortune, so go back now!

“I would like to destroy all of those godmothers who are not even of the highest quality, but I am holding back because my cousin sent me a gift with great care!”

Sun Quan’s messenger, who was suddenly driven out without achieving his goal, clung to Sun Bo and begged him.

“Hey, Son Yeo-reung…. There’s something wrong here! How could you bring the Southern Command, the leader’s belongings, from Hyung-ju….”

Sun Quan’s messenger’s doubts were valid.

However, from the perspective of Sonbo, which was facing a huge bribe, it was an unreasonable question.

In Sonbo’s eyes, it sounded like the guy who hadn’t even prepared a proper bribe was just trying to frame her out of impatience to get the bribe.

“Eight, what kind of gift would a guy who gives gifts without any sense of taste give? Get out of here! Listen, the lion is going back, so send him back quickly!”

“Understood, Your Majesty!”

Bangtong smirked as he watched the lion being forcibly dragged away by the soldiers.

‘So Nam-Hoe Son didn’t just sit still. Who would have thought he would try to increase his once-faint influence? He now has more to report to his lord!’

***

January 208.

Hyungju Namgun Gangneungseong.

Hyungnam’s internal affairs went smoothly.

Horse training is also education, but recently, the number of prostrations by the powerful has increased significantly.

In addition, the cult leader’s special products were still selling like hotcakes.

Given the circumstances, Gangneung Castle’s tax revenue is bound to increase significantly.

But I still felt it was not enough, so I decided to prepare one more thing.

‘Supplies have always been important in war… Next time there will be no help from construction. We have to somehow find a way to survive on our own.’

I greeted the two people I was meeting for the first time in a long time.

“Wan Zhonglangjang, Yang Dowi, it’s been a while.”

Then Man-chong let out a small sigh and Yang-su frowned and spoke curtly.

“What kind of position is this? Didn’t the Lord of the Provinces tell you to step down from your position and come here?”

Man-chong nodded as if he agreed with Yang-su’s words.

I was dumbfounded for a moment, but decided to think of it as the lament of an unemployed person.

‘Since when did you guys start listening to me so well?’

Manchong and Yangsu are both excellent at internal affairs and are experts in agricultural administration.

Of course, it was natural that those who were looked up to as geniuses in Heohyeon focused on farming and agriculture.

“What’s strange about the governor of Hyungju appointing officials from Hyungju? You are to reclaim the land in the Namgun area and take charge of the fields.”

Yang Soo spoke to me with a sighing face.

“That’s all I’ve done in the oral region so far, so are you telling me to do the Jeon Nong Do Wi here too?”

“Aren’t you the ones who made the Hoenan region rich in one breath? You shouldn’t let your great talent go to waste. I, too, have high expectations for you.”

“…I’m afraid I won’t be able to live up to your expectations.”

I opened my mouth towards the amniotic fluid with a faint smile.

“Do you think I don’t know your talents? You could make this land rich in a few years.”

They are not ordinary people, but Yangsu and Manchong.

These two people would have more than enough to increase the tax base of Gangneungseong.

But Yang-su felt that my faith was excessive and slightly averted his gaze before opening his mouth.

“You are complimenting me too much.”

“Humility is poisonous if taken to excess. Anyway, I will leave the southern army to you, so do your best. If you need anything, tell Ja-jeong (Sim-woo). Ja-jeong will help you out.”

These two people’s help was a great help in making the once shabby Hoenam area prosperous. So what kind of crazy person would let them go? We have to use them until we can use them.

Man-chong and Yang-su let out a deep sigh from their hearts as they realized that there was only one choice in the decisive tone.

““I will follow Son Hyung-joo’s will.””

‘You should be thankful to me instead. At least you won’t die because of Sun Ce’s hot-tempered personality.’

As a result, the two people who had been voluntarily unemployed were able to return to public service thanks to me.

And after a while, Bang Tong, who had left for the outskirts of Yangju, returned to Gangneung Castle. The corners of his mouth were still smiling.

***

Perhaps because the journey had been arduous, Bang Tong spoke to me in an exaggerated tone as soon as he saw me.

“My lord, if we had left even a little later, we would have been in big trouble. If we had arrived a few days later, we would have lost our influence over the Son family!”

It’s not like Bangtong is saying something like that after eating a warm meal.

There was something.

I closed my eyes and thought deeply.

Let’s take a look at the situation. I had guessed the answer to some extent, so I asked Bangtong.

“It seems like someone in the clan intervened… The only person who comes to mind is Sun Nam-Hoi, Sun Quan. Did Sun Nam-Hoi intervene?”

Sun Quan, this guy, is too good to be called Zhongfu. It would have been much easier to call him by his official title.

Bangtong started the story with a big smile.

“Yes, that’s right. Son Nam-hoe sent messengers to Yeolleung and Yejang. I found them at Yeolleung just in time, so I stayed in Yejang for a while on my way back.

As expected, Son Ye-jang – Son Bun – also got very angry when he told the story of Yeolleung-gun. I don’t know for sure, but for the time being, it will be difficult to hear good stories about Son Nam-hoe from the Son family.”

“Why, what did Son Nam-hoe do?”

“No, he must have felt so sorry for being stuck in Namhoe-gun that he searched the entire coast of Namhoe-gun to find Daemo and Chwiwoo.

Fortunately, the items discovered in the Namhoegun area were of medium quality. If they had been commercial items, it would have only damaged our reputation.”

What Bangtong said is right.

If I had produced something of the same quality as Sun Quan, it would have been my reputation that suffered.

What if the gifts and quality delivered by the governor of Hyungju and the governor of Nanhui in the border area were the same?

Just thinking about it gave me a shiver down my spine.

‘Is the position of Hyungju-mok an ordinary official? It’s perfect for hearing people say that he’s worse than Namhoe-tae-su.’

There was one more thing that became clear from the report from Bangtong.

That Sun Quan would not just stay in that place.

Judging from his recent behavior, it seemed like he was planning something terrible.

Otherwise, the governor of the frontier would not have made such a bold move.

‘Reporting this straight to Sun Ce would be a lowly thing to do. A master would only raise the stakes even higher.’

The stakes in construction are already high with many powers at stake.

Sun Ce, the Danyang aristocrats, the Wu commanderies aristocrats, the Han family and their relatives…

Sun Quan is there too.

If they unite their forces, they will become a force that even Sun Ce cannot ignore.

Rather, they were powerful forces that could easily wipe out everything in construction if they were not careful.

But I didn’t care because I was just watching from a distance.

Above all, the more people who get involved in this game, the more money I’ll have to take.

‘I knew this would happen, so I fled to Hyungju in advance. Until all the complicated situations in Geon-eop were over…’

All you had to do was wait for the right time, sneak in, and gobble up the prize money.

***

A while later.

The tooth of the hand.

Bangtong, Gahu, and Simwoo gathered together under Sonso’s orders.

Sonso, sitting on the chair, spoke with his usual smiling face.

“I’ll get straight to the point. I want to occupy both sides—both prosperous and prosperous. Do you have any good ideas?”

Yangban. This is an abbreviation for yangyangseong and prosperity.

The land at the top is prosperous, the land at the bottom is yangyangseong, and the water in the middle runs through it.

If a war broke out in either castle, it would take a tremendous amount of time and effort to occupy both castles, as they were structured to provide mutual assistance.

The order given by Sonso now was to occupy that very Yangban.

At the exciting command, Bangtong pretended to roll his head, while Gahu kept his lips tightly shut and his eyes closed.

Meanwhile, Sim Woo asked a question.

“As far as I know, in order for war to break out, Yu Hyung-ju must die. Do you think that Yu Hyung-ju will die?”

When Sim Woo recited the orthodoxy, Son So tilted his head slightly and spoke politely.

“I don’t know about that. But we don’t know when the castle will be taken over, and the enemies are getting stronger by the minute.

But Yoo Kyung-seung, he’s been acting up lately, right? Let’s come up with a plan in advance. How would you guys move?”

The round, curved pupils of Soso’s eyes.

The eyes that were not sure what they were thinking were turned towards Sim-woo. For a moment, he felt goosebumps and lowered his head in shock.

“…If your lord wishes, I will devise a plan.”

Only then did Sonso nod his head, smiling brightly as usual.

But then, Bangtong said with shining eyes.

“My lord, I don’t think there is any need to resort to any tricks. If Yu Gyeong-seung dies as you said.”

Son So seemed to hesitate for a moment at Bang Tong’s words, then opened his eyes wide.

“…Are you saying that they will surrender on their own?”

Then, Bang Tong, a member of the Bang clan, a powerful family in Hyeongju, spoke firmly.

“If that’s the case, then that’s more than enough.”
