Chapter 250 – 251. Lord of Gyeonghwa-4

“I will practice closing.”

King Gyeonghwa, who was sitting in the seat of honor, opened his mouth as if declaring while looking around the audience.

“No, how…”

“Lord…”

Each of the numerous people sitting at the wide table let out a sigh.

“Quiet.”

She drowned her tumult at once with the power of her voice.

“Let no one open his mouth until I have finished speaking.”

She looked at them with powerful eyes and continued her words.

“As you all know, I’m in a situation where I can’t control my martial arts. I can’t even predict when the flames will come out of my body.”

She looked at them and spoke in a calm tone.

“If left as it is, the flames will grow out of control, and in the end, it could create a terrible disaster.”

She looked at them with anxious eyes and continued.

“That’s why I’m trying to do closed-gwan training to prevent such a situation. In the first place, I thought that this phenomenon would just pass by if I reached a higher level.”

She looked at the audience with confident eyes and continued.

“Of course, it won’t be easy. It’s not as easy to climb as you’d like to, but I thought it would be more productive to raise the level by taking lung training rather than just wasting time like this.”

The Hardened Lord took a breath and opened her mouth.

“It’s a certainty that it’s already closed. No matter what I say, I don’t mean anything, so let’s know that.”

She said in a determined voice as if declaring.

“Does anyone have any questions?”

She continued, looking around her audience.

However, despite her question, no one asked a question.

“Oh, and I plan to give some people a long vacation before going into closure. They have been by my side for a long time without resting properly, and I have come to the conclusion that I don’t need that many troops, so don’t let anyone spit on you.”

And she continued speaking with a calm expression as if she had suddenly remembered.

“The number of people on long-term leave is a total of five people: general manager Mae Kwon, Cheoninjang Baekgi, Baekinjang Kwak Kyu, Daebeom, and Janghom. All of them have taken care of me without taking a single vacation. And a year’s salary will be paid in the name of vacation pay. I will not accept any disagreement.”

She continued with a determined tone, looking at those in her seat.

“Any questions?”

She asked them to confirm.

“I…”

At that time, the chief chamberlain, Gwan-seok, raised his hand.

“Tell me.”

“Can I ask how long you’ve been in the closet?”

He studied her hardened lord’s eyes and cautiously asked her question.

“I don’t know. But it won’t come out until it’s done right. No matter how many years it has been.”

King Gyeonghwa looked at the capstone and said firmly.

“All right.”

Hearing her words, Kwan-seok lowered his head and replied.

“Have the others nothing to ask?”

“…”

“…”

“…”

After the question was over, no one answered her question.

In fact, there were no questions

Wasn’t it the same as being detained in a separate palace because of the fire that emanated from the body in the first place?

Even if she said that she was closing her office, no one was in trouble.

Because she had no mission in the first place, she didn’t even have the guts to take over.

“Then the meeting will end with this.”

When no one said anything, the hard currency lord stood up from his seat.

And just like that, he left the conference room.

The people sitting in the middle of the room just stared blankly at it.

Something seemed to be rushing by, but it was so fast that I couldn’t catch it.

In the meeting hall, only the aides of King Gyeonghwa, who had a blank look on their faces, remained.

***********

“I’m sorry, but I think we’ll have to look elsewhere.”

“No, why are there no horses in the market!”

The coachman glared at the merchant and raised his voice.

How can you say there are no horses in the market?

Isn’t this proof that you don’t want to do business?

“Isn’t that a common saying? Where do you suddenly get a bloody horse?”

Hearing the coachman’s words, the merchant shouted in a fit of fuss.

Since it was a horse market, it was possible to provide any regular level courser.

Not only that, but even if it’s not a famous horse, he could also save his comparable horse.

However, the story is different if it is a one-blooded horse.

A famous horse that sweats the same color as blood.

That’s what a blood horse is.

The Han-blood horse, which is said to travel a thousand miles in a day, was distinguished from other horses in terms of stamina and speed, but the supply was so small compared to the demand that everyone would pay more to buy this Han-blood horse when it was exhibited at the market.

I couldn’t help but be angry when I was asked to give out such precious words.

“No, no matter how famous it is, it’s the biggest horse market in Beijing, but how come you don’t have a single blooded horse!”

The coachman shouted loudly and continued.

As a warlord, he was fully aware of how precious a Hanhyeol horse was.

Even compared to regular course horses, it was the one-blooded horse that was dozens of times more expensive.

Because it was worth it.

But I couldn’t understand that even though I had money, I couldn’t get it.

Obviously, at the horse market, one or two of the Han-blooded horses were kept for auction.

But what kind of harmony is this if there is not only one?

“About a month ago, the Tang family bought a lot of Hanblood horses. And most of the markets in Beijing put out all the Hanblood horses.”

In response to his question, the merchant began to explain the circumstances.

As he said, in the case of an ordinary horse market

As the coachman expected, one or two precious horses, such as blooded horses, were kept.

It could be for publicity by putting it up as an auction item, or it could be dedicated to making connections with a high-ranking person like the coachman.

However, all such Han-blood horses were purchased from the party.

All without exception.

“Really, what’s wrong?”

Hearing his words, the coachman continued with a puzzled expression.

I was frustrated.

That’s pretty much it too.

Ordinary course horses could not withstand the cold snow wind in the North Sea.

In order to endure the cold snow wind, it is necessary to constantly run and keep the body temperature at room temperature, but in the case of ordinary horses, when they are exposed to cold and cold air, they stop their feet and start walking slowly.

However, in the case of the Han-blooded horse, the behavior was different.

The Han-blooded horse, said to run a thousand li in a day, had a raging temper.

That’s why the cold and cold air touches it, and it starts to run at a higher speed.

Rather than just waiting for the snow wind to subside, they choose to escape the cold by raising their body temperature.

They knew

The fact that if you run without rest, the cold will fly away.

Because of this speciality, Han-blood horses are treated as treasures among treasures in the horse market.
It was because the existence of a Han-blooded horse was indispensable in order to go to the North Sea.

That’s why the coachman fell into trouble.

It was because they needed to find a Han-blooded horse to pull the wagon, but it was not easy to find.

After this horse market, I went around all the horse markets in Beijing.

However, there was no way to find a Hanhyeolma anywhere.

It was because of the sugar price, which had already bought all the Hanhyeol horses a month ago.

He got into trouble.

I was wondering how to get out of this situation.

“I also want to rescue them somehow, but there is no way. All the grown-up guys have headed to the party, and the only ones left are young colts.”

The merchant who heard the coachman’s words said with a sad expression.

He also had a chimney-like desire to sell Hanhyeol horses to the coachman.

How can you not want to sell when the market price is doubled?

But there was nothing really important to say.

How can you sell what you don’t have

“Then can you recommend a place to stay?”

The coachman said to him with a serious expression.

“Now, the situation will be the same even if you go to another nearby horse market.”

Hearing his words, the merchant shook his head and continued talking.

In the current situation, it would not be possible to find a Han-blood horse even if you go to other regions, let alone Beijing.

The Tang family bought Hanblood horses not only from Beijing but also from all over the region.

“Damn it!”

Hearing his words, the coachman spat out a curse.

Why did you buy so many Hanblood horses?

If you are not going to the North Sea, it would be more efficient to buy dozens of regular coursers.

“Do you have any reason why you must save a Han-blooded horse?”

The merchant looked at the coachman and continued.

It was because he seemed so desperate that he was curious for some reason.

“I have a sudden need to go to the North Sea.”

The coachman gave a short answer to his question.

“Hmm”

Hearing his words, the merchant stroked his chin as if contemplating.

Then, looking at the coachman, he slowly opened his mouth.

“If that’s the case, I might be able to help.”

“Help me!?”

Hearing his words, the coachman opened his eyes wide and asked him back.

“Just happened to say that my cousin is leaving for the North Sea this time from Chilsungpyo, where he is the head of the line.”

“To the North Sea!?”

Hearing his words, the coachman asked him back with surprised eyes.

“Yes, I heard that they signed a contract with the North Sea Specialized Buying Group.”

In response to the coachman’s question, the merchant searched for memory and continued.

“When did you say you were going!?”

Hearing his words, the coachman was delighted and asked him.

This was a very good opportunity.

The upper class was basically very thorough in preparation.

Whether it was food, horses, or wagons.

It was clear that going with them would be infinitely more comfortable.

Hope began to glimmer in the coachman’s eyes.

“I don’t know exactly, but I think I heard that it will leave in three or three days.”

The merchant began to speak as he remembered what he had heard.

“Then, do you get companions there?”

Usually, in the case of long-distance destinations, it was common to receive wages and accompany peddlers and travelers.

Since long-distance trade costs more money, it is a way to reduce the cost burden to some extent through companionship.

After all, the number of voters and voters assigned was overflowing and overflowing.

“I don’t know about that yet. I’d like to know if I ask.”

The merchant who heard his words continued as if he was not sure.

And the coachman who heard his words hardened his complexion.

“I beg of you like this. Please somehow connect with them.”

The coachman bowed his head and made a request.

It wasn’t the nature of bowing one’s head recklessly, but now was not the time to take care of one’s pride.

Because he had to make things work somehow.

“Oh, sir, raise your head. How could you bow your head to a merchant like me?”

At the request of the coachman, the merchant said to him as if he was perplexed.

“Then will you do me a favor?”

Hearing his words, the coachman raised his head slowly and asked him.

“That…Truly…That much…You ask me, how can I refuse?”

After hearing the coachman’s words, the merchant stuttered and continued.

“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you very much!”

Hearing his words, the coachman shook the merchant’s hand several times.

It was because the gratitude soared.

“I…But there’s a problem.”

At that time, the merchant spoke to the coachman in a calm voice.

“What kind of problem is it? I’ll solve it even if I raise my sword!”

Hearing his words, the coachman looked at the merchant with wide eyes and continued.

“That… To make sure of the accompaniment, you need to show your last name. This is because you need the permission of the general voter.”

The merchant looked at the coachman’s eyes and continued.

Yes, in general, accompany is welcome from the point of view of the target country, but from the point of view of the merchants who put in the request, it was a very uncomfortable subject.

How can they welcome it when they say they will join the long-distance trip they requested with a lot of money?

In order to calm their dissatisfaction, it was necessary to apply some oil.

“…”

When it was said that a bribe was needed, the coachman clamped his mouth shut.

It wasn’t his money, but he thought it was a waste to think that the money was draining away.

Besides, it’s a bribe.

His upright personality was not very welcome.

The coachman stroked his chin and fell into agony.

The thought of whether this was the right thing started to run through his head.

How much time has passed

Soon, he looked at the merchant as if he had made up his mind and slowly opened his mouth.

“Tell me how much you need. I’ll give you what I ask for.”

There was a grimace on his face.

Hearing his words, the merchant was delighted.
