Chapter 769 – 770. The Serpent’s Temptation

“…”

A heavy silence began to flow inside the meeting room.

This was the reason why the elders who had enthusiastically responded to Seonwoo’s words just before had all shut their mouths.

It had to be.

It was because the proposal Sunwoo brought up was a very sensitive yet burdensome topic.

‘Perhaps it’s a joke?’

‘I can’t believe…That’s what I said…’

‘Maybe I heard wrong?’

The elders began to look at each other with disbelief on their faces.

Because I couldn’t quite figure out what to say.

How long was the silence like that?

“…Sword God…Wouldn’t it be better to reconsider?”

Soon, Kye Sang-deuk spoke in a calm tone.

Of course, his expression was mercilessly distorted.

It was as if he was barely suppressing his rage.

“No, I don’t think it’s something to reconsider.”

Hearing his words, Seonwoo continued speaking in a calm tone.

“Jinan has been the home of many people for twenty years after the Cheonmu Maeng came into power. However, if the Maeng is suddenly relocated like this, it will cause a lot of opposition.”

Gye Sang-deuk looked at Seon-woo with a calm gaze and opened his mouth.

You want to relocate Maeng?

It was nonsense.

The Cheonmu League enters

Jinan has been a place that has made tremendous progress over the past twenty years.

And along with its development, it was also a place that settled down as a home for a large number of people.

By the way, you’re going to transfer the meng-eul suddenly?

The driving force behind Jinan’s development was the very existence of the Cheon Mu Maeng.

Relocating such a Cheonmu-maeng is tantamount to ruining it.

A backlash will happen.

Those who own land in Jinan

People who own buildings in Jinan

Powerful people who rule Jinan

Numerous guilds based in Jinan

To the numerous people living in Jinan

Everyone will stand up and criticize the Uicheonmaeng.

For them, Jinan is their hometown and place of life.

“I am fully aware that there will be a huge backlash, but I think it is tolerable.”

Seonwoo continued to speak with a calm expression on his face.

“Is it tolerable enough? It’s completely different from what I thought. I can’t agree with it at all. If the army is relocated as you say, the powerless and alienated people will lose their livelihood.”

Kye Sang-deuk continued with a stern expression on his face.

“You disagree with me.”

Seonwoo opened his mouth while looking at the gain of such a reward with a straight gaze.

“The transfer of the Maeng will rather be an option for the powerless and marginalized.”

Sunwoo’s confident eyes began to twinkle.
“What nonsense is that!”

And Gye Sang-deuk, who heard that, raised his voice with his face blushing.

“If Meng relocates, countless merchants and merchants who have followed Meng will also relocate! If that happens, those who settled in Jinan will lose their jobs!”

“I wouldn’t mind.”

Sunwoo spoke in a calm tone.

“What!?”

“They should also move along the malls and merchant houses, so what’s the problem?”

“That’s easier said than done! They’ve already settled down in Jinan as a base!”

“Hello, do you think so?”

Seonwoo asked him with a suspicious look on his face.
“What?!”

“You really think they’ve settled down properly in Jinan?”

“Isn’t that obvious! They work, eat and sleep in Jinan over and over again! How can you not think they’ve settled down!”

“Then I ask. How many of them do you think have houses?”

Seonwoo glared at him with sharp eyes and continued talking.

“…Someone who has…Someone who doesn’t…Isn’t there?”

In response to his question, Gye Sang-deuk continued to speak in a confident voice.

I didn’t know.

Whether or not they own their own home.

So he guessed and said.

The number of workers in Jinan was countless, like the stars in the sky.

Doesn’t one of them own a house?

I just thought so.

“Wrong. Elder.”

Seonwoo opened his mouth with a determined expression on his face.

“There isn’t even one.”

Then, looking at the elder with a dry gaze, he opened his mouth.

“This is nonsense! There are thousands and tens of thousands of workers in Jinan! But how can you say that no one owns a house!”

Gye Sang-deuk raised his voice and vehemently denied Seon-wu’s words.

Because he just couldn’t believe it.

How could it be that out of tens of thousands of people, not a single one has a house?

Probabilistically

Statistically

It was nonsense.

“That makes sense. Elder.”

“What is the basis for that!”

“It’s the price of a house.”

“House price!?”

“Currently, the price of a house in Jinan is at a price that ordinary workers cannot buy with their monthly salary. But how can a single worker own a house?”

Sunwoo spoke in a calm tone.

House prices in Jinan were expensive.

Too expensive, too expensive

To the extent that it is embarrassing to even dare to look at it with the monthly salary of a mere worker.

The cost of living per month for a typical commoner household was about seven hermits.

With that amount of money, they could manage to live a life without starving to death.

And in Jinan, the average monthly salary of subcontract workers was about ten yuan of hermits.

After living a life, the only thing you can do is to save about 10 nyang.

However, the average house price in Jinan was well over 3,000 hermits.

For ordinary households, it was the house in Jinan that could only survive if it had been cared for and cared for for over 80 years.

That is why workers who come to Jinan to find a job rent a house under the pretext of paying monthly rent.

Every month, there will be another corner to go out.

But how can subcontractors own houses?

House prices are ridiculously expensive.

It was absurd.

Sunwoo could have predicted it.

It is said that none of the workers who have a house will ever exist.

“…If you own land in Jinan before house prices go up…”

“If they were like that, they would have already sold their land and become rich.”

Sunwoo spoke in a calm tone.

I’m rich, so why work?

Even if you just roll the land and buildings, the monthly rent will pour out.

“…”

Hearing Seonwoo’s words, Gye Sangdeuk bit his mouth tightly.

To the extent that I have nothing to refute

It was because it was the right word.

He knew too.

The fact that the land price in Jinan is transcendently expensive.

But he had never been in the shoes of the common people.

This is because he was a pioneer who preoccupied the land before the land price went up.

But today, I was able to directly experience the reality of the common people.

By virtue of

What can you say in such a situation?

“When it is said that the Maeng will be relocated, those who will be the most opposed are landlords and building owners who own land and houses. If the Maeng is relocated, land and house prices will plummet.”

Seonwoo looked at Gye Sangdeuk and continued.

“But I think you have to bear with it. Only then will the correct self-purification work.”

“A self-cleansing effect?”

“Yes. Currently, speculation in Jinan is overheated. And the common people are suffering the damage. No matter how hard they work, they cannot buy a house, so people feel a sense of deprivation. I ended up sticking to the risky way of just spending money as soon as I had it, either by entering the middle school or becoming a guru, or not preparing for my old age.”

Seonwoo continued speaking with a calm expression on his face.

“And I think the cause of all this is because of Chen Mu-maeng. I’ve been living in Jinan for over 20 years, so the price of houses and land couldn’t have gone up.”

Seonwoo continued talking with his sharp eyes twinkling.

“…”

After hearing Seonwoo’s words, Gyesang Deuk kept his mouth shut and fell silent.

It was because I felt that what he said was not wrong.

“Ironically, the existence of the Cheonmu-maeng is making Jinan impoverished! Those who are satisfied with the current situation are only landlords and building owners.”

Sunwoo looked at him with confident eyes and opened his mouth.

“That’s why midnight is necessary. A self-purification action that can stabilize the house and land prices in Jinan.”

“Do you think that midnight…Is caused by the transfer of the blind?”

“I can be sure. If Meng is relocated, surely numerous merchants and merchants will follow Meng. And the workers who were hired by them will also move their residence without any regrets. And if that happens, the supply in Jinan will be There will be a situation where demand exceeds demand.”

“Supply exceeds demand?”

“Yes, if there are no jobs, there will be no need for workers to flock to Jinan… Naturally, demand will inevitably decrease. If that happens, house and land prices will stabilize.”

Seonwoo gazed at Gye Sangdeuk with a confident gaze and continued.

Ultimately, what is the cause of the rise in house and land prices?

This is because demand exceeded supply.

Then he had a simple solution.

It’s all about reducing demand and making supply surplus.

“But, Sword God!…If that happens, landlords and building owners will suffer extreme losses!”

Gye Sang-deuk spoke in an urgent tone.

“It’s not a loss.”

Seonwoo opened his mouth with a determined expression on his face.

“They have already made huge profit margins through house and land prices that have skyrocketed for the past 20 years.
“…”

Hearing Seonwoo’s words, Gye Sangdeuk bit his mouth tightly.

Because what he said was true.

Landlords and building owners had already accumulated enormous wealth through capital gains.

Just because house prices and land prices fall, the damage is not so severe.

“This is the first step toward a healthy midnight. We ask for the elders’ cooperation.”

Seonwoo lowered his head slightly and continued.

To ask them

Please follow your own opinion.

The elders were silent as they looked at Sunwoo.

It wasn’t wrong, but it wasn’t something I wanted to agree with.

“If Meng is relocated as you suggested, something similar to the situation in Jinan will surely happen. Speculators will gather, and house and land prices will skyrocket. But how do you plan to solve this?”

At that time, Lee Se-jin, who had been silent, asked him back with a curious expression.

He was also in favor of the transfer of Maeng, but

It was because he was curious about whether there was a trick to prevent the overheating of speculation apart from that.

“It’s not wrong. If you hear the word that Meng is moving, speculators will surely come here and there, and it will make land and house prices skyrocket.”

Sunwoo shook his head as if he agreed.

It was not wrong.

In a way, it was natural for speculators to flock to the redevelopment area.

It was because the money flowing in could make a big profit as much as it was large.

And in the worst case, a murderous price comparable to that of Jinan could be formed.

“So, I have an idea.”

“How did you think of it?”

After hearing his words, Lee Se-jin questioned him questionably.

What the hell would you have thought of

It was because curiosity soared.

“We’re going to buy all the land in the Uicheonmaeng area.”

Sunwoo continued with a smile on his lips.
“And the land is being rented out in the form of a lease. Then at least speculation will be overheated like it is now.”

“Nonsense!”

And Lee Se-jin, who heard that, immediately rebelled.

“To prevent overheating of speculation, you will have to buy all the land on the yolk in the Uicheonmaeng area! Even if you measure the acreage, it will be several million pyeong! No matter how cheap it is, it is impossible to buy such a large land!”

“You can buy it with public money.”

Seonwoo continued talking with a nonserious expression on his face.

“It’s an amount that can’t be afforded even with Maeng’s public money!”

“Can’t I borrow it?”

“Where on earth would you lend such a huge amount! And to a fledgling organization that had just been established!”

Lee Se-jin let out a shout with his face flushed.

The Uicheonmaeng was a fledgling organization that could not even take its first steps.

It’s such an organization that you don’t even know how it will operate in the future.

But what kind of crazy bastards would lend such a large amount to a place like this?

It was absurd.

“Sachetangdangmun.”

Seonwoo spoke in a calm tone.

“What… What?!”

And after hearing that, Lee Se-jin asked him back with a puzzled expression on his face.

“If it were Tang, I would lend money to Uicheon Meng.”

Seonwoo started to put a deep smile on his lips.

A dangerous smile that makes the viewer feel dizzy.
