Chapter 94

94 – How to survive in difficult times (5)

The Emperor makes Heohyeon a new capital. The official name of Heohyeon became ‘Heodo’, and many subjects cheered at the new appearance of the Han imperial family.

“Ooooooo!!”

I also cheered.

It is not because one imperial family has laid the foundation for a comeback.

The joy that made my heart pound, so much that I lost my cool and screamed, was caused by the fact that an imperial family had chosen a new capital, but it was by no means a revival of the imperial family.

“Say it again, Bonghyo.”

“The price of your land has doubled, that’s right.”

“double?”

“Okay. hehehehe, should this older sister show some condescension? I mean….”

The Kwak family played a major role in the development of Heo Island.

And when she was building the wall of Heodo, she included the area where my manor was located inside the castle.

In other words, thanks to the Kwak family, the price of my land has doubled!

“I love you, Bonghyo!”

I hugged Kwak Ga.

“You’re thinking of me by pushing my manor into Heodo’s castle. Ugh, I’m literally crying! It’s a matter of leaving my friend alone!”

“hehehe. I think it’s thanks to me.”

“Nothing! Never mind! If you ask me to kiss the top of your foot, I have the confidence to do it right away!”

“sun.”

“…yes?”

Kwak pushed me away, sat down on the bed and put his feet out.

“Come on. What are you doing?”

“…You don’t regret it, do you?”

“What’s new?”

“…….”

I knelt in front of Kwak Ga. Then he lifted her small feet politely with both hands and bowed his head.

I am-

“Just kidding, kidding! Kid, what if you really try to do that…!”

Kwak Ga lowered his tail first.

“Are you crazy? How can you carelessly touch a woman’s body?! He even tried to kiss the top of her feet!”

“Now I see it all over again.”

“Well, that’s true, but what will your students or the people at your school think when they see it?!”

“It’s okay because everyone is looking at Heodo right now. And it’s okay because everyone knows how important I consider land prices.”

I brought my head so close that my lips touched the top of my feet.

“My assets have doubled, but I’m afraid I won’t even be able to kiss the top of my foot.”

“Ugh…. If this continues to triple in size, are you going to tell me to push your head under your legs?”

“There’s nothing I can’t do. hehehe.”

“……joy.”

With a red face, Guo Ga pointed to the basin next to him.

“Just wash your feet.”

“It’s an honor, sister.”

“What can I say? You and I are the same age.”

“He is the one who helped me make money, so of course I should take care of him.”

I pulled out a basin filled with warm water and wet Kwak’s feet.

“But your feet are prettier than I thought.”

“What do you mean when you say it’s you?”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to call you sometimes?”

Her feet were so clean that they didn’t really need washing, but I pressed my hands here and there to relieve the fatigue that had gathered in her feet.

“Thank you very much. You could have put your land into the castle, but instead you put my land into the castle.”

“It just happened because I tried to be honest.”

“No problem.”

“…It’s just mutual aid.”

Guo Ga looked down at me and lowered his upper body.

“Thank you, brother.”

“Why am I your brother?”

“I was called your older sister because you increased my assets, so since I’m in the same situation, I should call you my older brother. hehehe.”

Her hair, pulled to one side, fell down and swayed in front of me.

“Thanks to you, our dun field has really had a great effect since the first year. Do you know that? The Duke of Zhou held a dun field competition for the officials in charge of Heo Island. Gold was awarded to the person who harvested the most in each district. You decided to do it.”

…no way?

“How did it go?”

“Of course I’m number one. Just like you said, everyone’s eyes roll because I stimulate people’s desires. hehehehe.”

The advice I gave Kwak Ga was in the Dunjeon way.

Those who do well are rewarded, and those who do not work hard are punished by excluding them from the reward.

“I spent 300 nyang of gold and got thousands of rice and 1,000 nyang of gold, so it was a very prosperous business. I was really grateful.”

“If you are grateful, be nice to the students at our school later. They also played a part in it.”

“Should we give a share to the kid who said that if he makes good farming equipment, the yield will increase?”

…It seems like Zhuge Liang’s advice wasn’t very helpful.

“…That’s the truth.”

“That’s right.”

Kwak Ga once asked me for advice on an effective way to fight back.

This was the case not only for the Kwak family but also for others, but the Kwak family in particular actively accepted and implemented our suggestions.

“The most effective advice was to pay my share of taxes on the first year’s harvest. I ended up paying the rest… but that meant a lot more grain was overproduced. It’s all thanks to you and your disciples’ opinions. Really. thank you.”

Not only me, but also Sima Yi, Xu, and Zhuge Liang all freely expressed their opinions on this advice.

“If I had thought about it on my own, I definitely wouldn’t have harvested even half of it.”

“Humility.”

“No kidding. Is there a place where I did things my own way? It was a total mess there.”

“…….”

No matter what the Guo family did with Duntian, we sincerely helped the Guo family.

Farmer, Cheonhajidaebon.

Since discussing the method of Dunjeon is the way to feed the people of this country, the people of Sugyeong Academy actively helped the schemers.

-Farmer, Cheonhajidaebon.

With the hope that people will eat well in these difficult times.

-Cao Cao is hateful, but the people under him are not hateful.

Worst of all, even Zhuge Liang knew that his plan might fall on Cao Cao’s ears, but he proposed a fairly effective plan.

…Proposals that are almost impossible to implement, but are perfect in theory.

Me, Sima Yi, standing, Zhuge Liang.

After four people put their heads together and went through trial and error in Xinya County, the ‘Private Dungeon’ was refined once and passed on to the Guo family.

Thanks to this, the area that Kwak was in charge of harvested about 30% more than other areas.

“I am truly grateful to you all. Thanks to you, I was given gold.”

“You’ll get the gold, what are you going to do with the rest?”

“Excess amount? It’s still piled up in the warehouse.”

Now is the harvest season.

“Honestly, I’m worried. How do I use it?”

Farmers in Guo Ga’s district harvested much more grain than the target amount, and left it to Guo Ga to dispose of the grain that exceeded the standard amount.

“Honestly, I could just swallow it all up, or collect it as tax revenue. But it would be such a waste to spend it like that.”

“Of course. They earned the grain through their hard work, but if they take it away as taxes, they won’t work that hard again, right?”

Even though it is a harvest competition, the opinion that the quota should be met will be prevalent.

“You haven’t used the gold you were given yet, have you?”

“Yes why?”

“Buy grain with it.”

“……why?”

Guo Jia’s expression became somewhat sullen.

“It’s surplus grain from my land. If I say, ‘I’ll take it for you,’ you have to give it to me without even making a sound.”

“But then you’ll lose people.”

“But then the owner will be looked down on by the farmers?”

“So, buy grain with gold. Not at a cheap price, but at a reasonable price.”

“Is there a reason to buy it? If you’re going to dispose of the excess grain anyway, you have to sell it at full price, or even more. Are you saying that selling it back to farmers is more valuable?”

“of course.”

I continued to press Kwak’s feet and expressed my thoughts.

“If you just give it to them, there will be people who will try to take advantage of you because they like you, and if you take it all away, they will be criticized for being disrespectful. But buying it with gold is a different story. They will now think that they can sell the surplus grain. “

“Then it will be a great help to Hedo’s economic development?”

“The development of commerce comes from the human desire to have more. That desire to have what I don’t have.”

I pointed to the golden ring on Guo Ga’s hand.

“If you give gold to a farmer, other farmers will want it, and you’ll have to pay them something else for that gold, right?”

“Indeed, is there a revival of commerce through barter?”

“For Heo Island to become a full-fledged metropolis, it needs to do something like that.”

The development of a city does not occur simply because it is the capital of the country.

“When a lot of supplies are gathered and the supplies flow through, the city naturally develops. Chang’an was the road leading to the Central Plains from Pachuk and Yangzhou, and Luoyang had a history of 500 years as a country. In order for Hedo to catch up with this place, a lot of supplies would have to come here. You have to go in and out.”

“If the value of the city increases, the price of your land will naturally increase, right?”

“Of course.”

My old age will be stable only when my heart develops.

“I think I might build a sun school in Heo Island later.”

“Oh, really? Then, after you get fired, get me a job as an instructor.”

“Instructor? What are you good at?”

“Drinking? hehehe.”

I was so dumbfounded that I snapped my fingers at Kwak Ga’s instep.

“Ouch, why are you hitting me?”

“It is a national disaster for a talented person like you to rot as an instructor.”

“Then what about you?”

“…….”
