play.

Cao Cao held up a sharply sharpened sword and looked at himself.

“It seems longer.”

The hair has grown longer.

Unlike when he first pulled out a sword and cut off his hair to avenge Jo Soong, his hair had grown long enough to fall below his shoulders.

“You don’t need to take care of your hair for a day or two, really. It’s so annoying.”

After that day.

After cutting her hair, she kept her hair cut short to firmly show her will.

The speed at which her hair grew was faster than expected, so she trimmed her hair periodically and wanted to remain ‘a daughter who still wants revenge on her mother.’

That was the justification for the invasion of Western Zhou.

By keeping his hair cut, Cao Cao showed his anger to the world.

but.

-If you can see the face of this younger brother Hyeon-deok, please hand over the military!

Through the intervention of the governor of Inui, Liu Bei, she surrendered her army.

Once the military has been bitten, it is impossible to seek revenge again.

reason?

“If I had to brew my parents’ revenge twice, it would have been fine. Even beef bones wouldn’t taste good if I steeped them three times.”

Jojo looked down at the soup in front of him for a long time.

The performance has become rich again to the point where it is no longer necessary to steep the beef bone once boiled several times.

Lu Bu’s rebellion became a disaster.

There were many traitors, and Cao Cao’s army thoroughly punished the traitors.

And their property became Cao Cao’s.

“hehehehe, hehehehe….”

Yeonju became wealthy.

Anyone who claims to avenge their parents will sympathize and support someone if they are festering, but if they have good complexion and good skin, their sincerity cannot be seen.

“I guess blood-and-blood revenge is no longer effective.”

Jojo adjusted his posture as if he was kneeling.

“This would have been enough, mother. May you rest in peace in the afterlife.”

three.

two.

one.

“Whoa, now I have to grow my hair. hehehe.”

JoJo stretched and smiled.

“hehehe, this is an opportunity to invade Western Zhou legally.”

JoJo played with his lips and savored his appetite.

“This is a good opportunity to get revenge on Lü Bu and Liu Bei.”

The purpose of the previous invasion of Western Zhou was ‘bloody revenge’.

But now it’s not revenge of my parents, it’s just revenge.

Liu Bei turned Cao Cao into a murderer and swallowed Zhou Zhou without shedding a drop of blood.

And Lu Bu, who dared to raid the rear and chilled the liver.

“How should I cook it? How should I attack it so that people can say I attacked it well?”

“Lord Zhou, someone from Jingzhou has arrived.”

Hyeongju, people.

Jojo jumped up from his seat.

“Moon Yak! So, did you have a good vacation?”

“yes.”

Sunwook entered the room and stood in front of Jojo with a neat posture.

“Did you eat anything delicious when you went to Hyeongju? Did you take care of yourself? Is it possible for your skin to get this much better after visiting the south?”

“It is thanks to the Duke of Zhou who gave me the opportunity to look around the world for a while.”

“It’s okay. Something like that.”

Jojo sat down in a comfortable position and asked.

“Okay, have you organized your thoughts?”

“Yes. Can I tell you right away?”

“Well, of course.”

Jojo directly pointed to Yeonju’s map hanging next to him.

“I want to hear your thoughts on what would be the most effective way to do Dungeon next year.”

“Dunjeon has numerous disadvantages.”

From the beginning, I said something I didn’t really want to hear. Although Jojo was in a bad mood, he waved his hand as if to encourage Sunwook to continue.

“Especially in the case of a civil war rather than a military war, it is believed that the complaints of the people will be considerable. Therefore, there must be a price to eliminate these complaints.”

Sunuk continued speaking with a firm voice.

“I heard this on the way. You destroyed the three tribes of the tent?”

“Yes. The one who betrayed along with Lü Bu. He foolishly ran to his hometown village and staged a sit-in protest instead of running away with him to Xuzhou. So I pushed him out.”

“Whose land will belong to them?”

“Of course it’s mine….”

JoJo covered his face with one hand.

“Wenyak, why are you suddenly asking about the Land of the Tent?”

“Because it is a very important opportunity to offset Dunjeon’s shortcomings.”

“Are you sure that’s your answer?”

“I’m just suggesting one path that I think is best.”

Jojo’s voice gradually became sharp, openly revealing his discomfort.

She turned away from Sunuk and started looking at the wall, as if she were uncomfortable.

“Do you know how large the land of the tent is?”

“I know.”

“Yes. It is not just the Land of the Tabernacle. They say it is the Land of the Tabernacle, but that is what you mean.”

Jo Jo pointed to the entire Yeongju map.

“Are you suggesting that we take over all the lands of the nobles who betrayed us this time? I was thinking of taking over the land of Heohyeon.”

“So, I would like to further propose the land of traitors. Send 300,000 refugees from Cheongju there to cultivate the land. That land will be enough to roughly accommodate all 300,000 people.”

“No, think about it the other way around. Divide that land… hahahaha, among the people? That much land?”

JoJo licked his lips and felt sorry.

“Then what benefit will I get?”

“The people of Cheongju will become soldiers loyal to the Duke of Zhou.”

JoJo couldn’t take his hands off his face for a while.

Her eyes, reflected between her fingers, were full of regret and sorrow.

Land without an owner.

A land whose owner has disappeared.

Very fertile land owned by a local wealthy man.

that…?

“We are not giving it away right away. If they settle down and live here for 15 years, then we will give the land to them. Until then, we rent the land.”

“Lent the land?”

seam.

JoJo’s ears perked up.

“Yes. Of course, that land is the Duke of Zhou’s land. Who would dare deny that? However, it is a pity to leave that land idle, so please rest there. It happens to be an idle land and there are many baby birds with their mouths open and doing nothing. , Let them cultivate the rice fields themselves.”

“What about taxes? How much do you want to collect?”

“This is what an acquaintance of mine says…”

Sunuk smiled bitterly and continued.

“It is said that if you say you will take one out of ten, you will look down on the owner, and if you say you will take five out of ten, you will be the owner, a nabal, and lose motivation. Therefore, collect three out of ten as tax.”

“Three out of ten! It’s good, not too much or too little.”

Jojo was immersed in agony, rubbing his chin with the hand that covered his face.

“One of the three taxes collected can be saved up and used as alms, and one of the remaining three can be sold at an appropriate price and used as military funds.”

“…….”

Sunuk did not bother to ask where one of the three who disappeared was going.

If it were anyone else, JoJo would not swallow it all by himself.

Because I know very well what happened to the person who was drinking alone at the hands of his adoptive son.

“It’s Munyak, after all! I like it so much. It’s my daughter’s room after all.”

“That’s too much praise. He was able to organize his thoughts deeply thanks to the Duke’s permission to go out for a while.”

“Yes, yes. Good. To be honest, I was worried for a moment when I heard they were going to Hyeongju, but I’m glad.”

I flinch.

As soon as he heard the name Hyeongju, Sunwook’s expression hardened.

Jojo already knew that Sunwook and the other two had gone to Jingzhou together for a vacation, but for some reason, the tone he heard was quite unusual.

“So, how was it, seeing you after so long?”

“I’m your friend. I don’t even agree with you.”

“Then what about you, West?”

“Joo Gong.”

Sunuk answered with a serious face.

“It’s hard for me to accept jokes like that.”

“Yes, I understand. Won, really. Don’t embarrass people. Then, I’ll ask you seriously too.”

Jojo adjusted his posture.

“Are you planning on getting married?”

“…….”

“You’re thinking of getting married, why aren’t you getting married?”

“He said he would not marry anyone but a woman of great rank.”

“What? Ahahahaha!”

JoJo laughed, tapping the chair with his palm.

“Are you saying I have to rise to a certain level of government? Well, I have to be a minister?”

“You should rise to the position of boatman.”

“hehehe, how far do I have to rise for you to get to that position? hehehe, it’s crazy to even imagine this. Oh, that’s great! I promise to get a high government position for my daughter’s sake. For the sake of the imperial family. “

“Thank you….”

Sunwook couldn’t bear to continue talking.

“Marriage. hahahaha, that would be nice. I mean, Munyak. I hope you get married quickly.”

“…….”

Jojo.

“I’m serious.”

He tapped Sunuk’s shoulder with a pure smile.

* * *

“Wolyoung. Are you not going to get married?”

“…yes?”

The tea I was drinking almost got stuck in my throat when I heard Chaehyeon’s words.

“What do you mean by that all of a sudden?”

“What do you mean? Now that you’re older, you should think about getting married.”

“I don’t plan on doing that. I will stay like this in Jingju for the time being.”

From noble mtl dot com

I’m embarrassed that they suddenly brought up the topic of marriage.

No, we’ve talked about marriage a few times before.

I didn’t want to hear it, so I just listened with one ear and let it go with the other.

“Everyone says that at your age, having two or three children is the norm.”

“Who is your mother like that?”

“That’s Hwang Seung-eon, that bastard….”

Chaehyun cleared his throat and spoke in silence.

“Forget it.”

“What did you just say?”

“Good. That’s the attitude. That’s enough. …So, are you thinking about getting married?”

“…mother.”

I knew intuitively that I couldn’t escape if I didn’t answer Chaehyun’s persistent words.

“Not yet.”

“So you’re saying there is one?”

“Of course. Shouldn’t I at least hand over the assets I have accumulated and the land I own to someone?”

My land is being handed over to someone I don’t know?

I would rather hand it over to my own flesh and blood.

Of course, since I don’t have any blood relatives, I will have to create one.

“But I have no intention of getting married right now.”

“then when?”

“Well, one…”

It’s about marriage.

I know why I’m talking about it.

So I came up with an answer that Chaehyun would like.

“I think it will be okay in about five years.”

“…hehehe, yes. That’s a good answer. Five years.”

Chaehyun tapped her neck with a fan.

“In five years, that Mr. Zhuge’s child at your school will be a senior, right?”

“……yes?”

“I’m just asking.”

“Well, it’s more than a year.”

Chaehyun glanced at me with a look on her face as if she was planning something.

“hehehe, okay. Then son, let’s play baduk for the first time in a while. Grab the stone first.”

“Am I catching it?”

“Okay then. You and I have similar skills, so it doesn’t really matter. Come on, Wolyoung.”

Chaehyeon handed me both stones.

“Do you like black or white?”
