Part 2 Episode 88
One mind at a time
Open Hebei Buntaju (河北分舵主) Yun Woo was a man of positional power.
Born into a desperately poor farming family, he lost his parents at the age of seven and became a beggar. Even though he was beaten day after day by older beggars, he became famous for his gluttonous appetite, devouring all the food he begged for without leaving a trace.
I want to live like that this year.
A passing martial artist admired his tenacity and tried to take him away. He said that you would become a charlatan and that if you were born as a boy, you should live a good life.
Yunwoo was not a fool.
What if you were born a boy?
If you learn from an open beggar, you will become a beggar, but living a nice life is a mess.
Although it was common sense, Yunwoo took him as his master.
I didn’t do that to become a charlatan.
Is it possible to eat a little more food than before and sleep in a safer place?
I was just beginning to feel that the profession of beggar, which everyone avoided, was a good fit for me.
You just have to learn roughly.
If you spend your time like that, you can live as an open beggar, even though you are a beggar, a little better than an ordinary beggar!
Is it luck or misfortune?
Master was a talented beggar, martial arts expert, and charlatan.
He taught me efficient hunting skills as well as various martial arts.
It took the idea of consultation to heart and helped me develop a broader perspective on the world.
He truly cared for his students and gave everything he had.
If you don’t get inspired by doing this, you’re not human.
Yunwoo was reborn.
Even though he was still a beggar, he became a great beggar and made a name for himself.
And eventually, he rose to the position of open Hebei Bunta Prefecture and came to represent the beggars of Hebei Province.
It was all thanks to Master.
‘Oh my goodness. I will live a little longer. What was so urgent that you left so quickly? ‘And on a warm spring day.’
Yunwoo thought of his master for the first time in a long time and clicked his tongue.
‘Damn inspiration. Is it because the warm wind blows gently? It reminds me of this for no reason.’
Yunwoo sighed and then laughed.
‘I find it really funny too. After all, there is nothing wrong with what Master said.’
The master was illiterate, but he picked up a lot and said a lot of good things.
‘It was said to be all-in-one.’
It is said that everything in the world depends on one’s mind.
Since your heart is happy, doesn’t the cold winter wind that penetrates the blanket covering your body feel warm?
‘I’ve heard it before. ‘I never thought it would be that big.’
The amount of vouchers received from Jeong Gwang in return for doing trivial tasks was frightening.
Yun-woo, who was as blind as his master, was able to figure it out only after showing the slip to Gyeong-gae-do, who knew how to read, and was so surprised that he almost fainted.
Yunwoo, who had been smiling happily as he recalled that moment, frowned.
‘I think I got too much of this.’
It wasn’t the same, but it was like that.
‘Is it because I scratched it? Why does it itch so much?’
That time when I was scratching my whole body.
An iron coin fell into a half-broken gourd used as a begging bowl.
‘Oh my. ‘A guest has arrived.’
A beggar must be a beggar.
In order not to lose his original intention, he was begging on the side of the road again today, and raised his head with the utmost emotion on his face.
“oh my. Thank you, Daein. The great man’s virtue will reach heaven and heaven will reward him accordingly… … ok?”
Yunwoo raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.
Still, the person standing in front of him did not change.
“Jinokryong. “What are you doing here?”
Jeong Gwang politely put his hands together.
“Hello, Lord Bunta. “I need help with something.”
“… … !”
Numerous rumors passed through Yunwoo’s mind.
These were stories that lamented how much hardship those who received Jeong Gwang’s request had to endure.
Yunwoo’s neck moved greatly.
“gulp. Now, what would an expert like you do to a beggar like me? “I appreciate that you think highly of me, but I think I think you think too highly of me.”
“No way. Will you help me?”
Is that possible?
Yunwoo flatly refused.
However, the reward he felt from carrying out the consultation and cooperation that had been brainwashed by his master, and finally, the feeling of feeling slightly sorry for Jeong Gwang, gave a different answer.
“of course. omg!”
“After all, it’s open. thank you “It will help those in need.”
Yun-woo, who was about to ask if it would be okay to just do something that was not there instead of being grateful, was shaken by the words that it would help those in need.
“What is happening?”
“I’m thinking of buying a few whole grain stores and releasing the grain.”
“Uhm. The meaning is good, though. “Daitoho, including Paengga, has already given a lot.”
Jeong Gwang shook his head.

“People who live in bright places don’t know what really dark places are. “Damn, you probably didn’t go to the poor people?”
“… … .”
It certainly was.
The home of these people, mired in poverty since birth and starving without even thinking about doing anything, was in a remote place.
Just like Yunwoo did.
“I understand. You’re trying to do a very good job. However, if you buy a rice merchant, there will be no one to do business properly. “Just buy grain.”
“no. Once all the grain has been harvested, we will gather children in need and have them stay at the rice store. “I looked around and found a few places with good seats.”
Yunwoo’s eyes widened slightly.
“wait. Are you sure? I heard they built an orphanage near Murimmaeng. Are you planning to make it here too?”
“yes.”
“Why all of a sudden?”
“Because the war started in the north of Hebei Province. Many children will come here after losing their parents. “We have to save those children.”
It’s unfortunate for adults who lose everything and run away, but the risk for orphans is much greater.
Yunwoo sympathized deeply because he had experienced such pain himself.
“That’s a great idea. However, just starting is difficult. But how are you going to manage it?”
“I want to ask Panga for a favor.”
“Go ahead. If you ask me to do something, I will never be able to refuse you. Still, your expenses must be too high, right?”
A smile formed on Jeong Gwang’s lips.
“Muryangsubul.” “It’s a good spot.”
“… … “Will you do good work and invest?”
“Yes.”
Yunwoo stared at Jeong Gwang and then laughed out loud.
“Hahaha. Are you ashamed of doing good deeds? “I wonder how much land prices will rise.”
“You have to look long term. “I will live a very long time.”
“haha. Yes, that’s right. The reason you came to me was because you needed someone to check the market price and sow the grain, right? good. “I will help you with all my might.”
Yunwoo carefully placed the broken gourd in his arms and stood up.
“I’ll be back soon, so just wait a moment.”
As I was about to unfold the Divine Law, my stomach started to growl.
Yunwoo cursed and muttered.
“Damn it. There was an uproar because the two-day begging was in vain. “Do I need to fill it with something?”
Jeong Gwang asked with a puzzled look.
“I gave you a slip yesterday. “Did you eat anything from that?”
“I already wrote that somewhere else.”
“where are you?”
“There was heavy rain in the south of Hebei Province, causing a large landslide. People who used slash-and-burn fires to make ends meet were seriously injured or killed. “I sent it there.”
“Everything? Save some money and buy something delicious. “Why did you do that?”
Yunwoo responded with an absurd expression.
“That’s because beggars have to beg for alms. Don’t talk nonsense and just wait. “I’ll go to Bunta, eat some frozen rice, and come back soon.”
As Yunwu disappeared, Zhao, who had been watching silently, was impressed.
“It really sucks.”
Jeong Gwang also agreed.
“yes. “It seems really crappy.”
“… … .”
“why? It was a compliment. “It’s like a true beggar.”
“Hmm, hmm. “It seems like Danju chose the right person.”
“I got caught for it.”
“But is it really necessary to buy rice? And in many places. “All I have to do is sneak into the place that the teacher told me about and take the items, right?”
“The King of Darkness informed me so obediently. You explained everything, including the tracheal diagnosis. “Isn’t something strange?”
“ah! you’re right. You must have been grumpy at first glance. “You’re trying to buy the rice store because you’re afraid that destroying the institution will cause a big uproar.”
“yes. “In case I get suspicious, I prefer to live in multiple places.”
“As expected, you are sober.”
“What a great thing. I guess it’s because I heard about food, but I’m hungry. “Let’s eat some beef jerky and wait.”
Since his tongue was accustomed to the imperial cuisine, it was obvious that he would not feel much enjoyment no matter where he went, so he was satisfied with beef jerky.
Zhao laughed to himself as he chewed the beef jerky with Zheng Guang.
‘Everything you say is correct. Spending more money out of fear of being suspicious is going too far. No matter what the purpose, has it become a habit to do good things in the end?’
How can you be this happy?
As I felt better, my mind changed a lot.
Just a little while ago, I felt burdened by going to retrieve the belongings of the master I had cut ties with, but as Jeong Gwang tried to do this by doing good deeds, I began to think that I should accept it.
‘Danju reborn me, but my roots are spiritual. ‘You must accept it, not deny it.’
Yunwoo soon returned, leading the Hebei Bunta beggars.
“Jinokryong. “Please tell me about the rice vendors you saw.”
As Jeong Gwang mentioned a few names, Yun Woo and the beggars frowned.
“Sumi Sanghoe (粹米商會)?”
“After all, that place is included.”
“Look. “It would be best to leave it out if possible.”
The beggars were giving advice considering the concentration.
In fact, that was what Jeong Gwang needed.
“why? “Lord Bunta, is this a place with many problems?”
“This is it. “How should I explain this?”
Yunwoo scratched his head and continued speaking.
“The owner of Sumi Store is a great businessman. To put it bluntly, he is a great man who is very wealthy and tries to make profit whenever he gets the chance. He will never give it away cheaply.”
“are you okay. “Because that’s the best seat.”
Jeong Gwang grinned.
“And I’m good at negotiating.”
* * *
‘Have you ever seen such bad guys in the world? Are you disturbing the market price like this? ‘Is it okay to make an honest merchant sit down?’
Wang Gu, the owner of Sumi Store, was unable to control his anger and was shaking.
‘War, war! It was my first opportunity in a long time to earn a share, and they distributed grain for free! The soaring prices have fallen! Is it all Daetohomyeon?’
He wanted to take down the Great Earth Tigers, including the Peng family, in an instant, but does he have that kind of power?
The best thing to do was to grind my teeth and curse.
‘These guys! Isn’t the sky scary? You will definitely get paid! Right now, King Yeom will come down and kill you with a single blow!’
At that time, a sonorous voice was heard from the front door.
“anybody home? “I came because I had something to buy.”
Wang Gu went out with a frown and then his eyes widened.
‘omg! ‘Wow, there is such a handsome man!’
It wasn’t just something that happened.
The clothes he was wearing and the sword he wore at his waist were all dripping with charm.
“Great man! Sorry for coming out late. “Please eat inside.”
Wang Gu invited the most handsome man in the world and a middle-aged man who seemed to be his servant inside.
“I’m sorry it’s so shabby. “What do you need?”
Jeong Gwang, the most handsome man in the world, answered lightly.
“I want to buy Sumi Sanghoe.”
“haha. This is an excellent choice. The grains owned by our Sumi Sanghoe are famous for being world-class… … yes? I’m sorry, but I’ll say it one more time… … .”
“I came here to buy everything.”
Surprised by the sudden suggestion, Wang Gu looked blankly at Jeong Gwang and then widened his eyes.
Before I knew it, it was because of a slip lying on the table.
‘It’s not fun! ‘I really came to buy it!’
Surprise soon turned into anger.
‘I can see that you have researched the market thoroughly. How could it be this appropriate?’
The amount was neither too much nor too little.
‘joy. Do you think I would agree to such a deal? ‘And to a rich boy?’
Wang Gu opened his mouth with a soft smile.
“Great person. “I’m sorry, but I can’t sell it.”
“why?”
Why?
It’s the owner’s heart.
However, Wanggu started saying things he had no intention of saying.
“This is a store I built with every penny I saved since I was young. For small people, it is a place where priceless memories are accumulated. “Please understand.”
“It’s different from what I know.”
“… … “What do you mean?”
“Isn’t this the place that was stolen while running Yanwangchae (閻王債) in the past?”
“… … under. haha. Is that possible? I bought it from a friend and paid a fair price. “There are many people slandering me, and I think you’ve heard some strange rumors they’ve made up.”
“ah. Is that something like that?”
Jeong Gwang tilted his head and held out his hand.
Another slip was placed on the table.
“Can I buy those memories with this amount?”
“… … !”
Wang Gu’s eyes burned with greed.
But he is a seasoned businessman.
He relaxed his facial muscles and made a sad expression.
“Great person. Memories are something that money can’t buy… … “Hmm!”
There were three slips.
Wang Gu fought fiercely with his other self.
‘Let’s sell it!’
‘no! ‘I can take more!’
‘And what if it fails?’
‘At that time, just pretend you can’t win and get offended!’
The battle between greed and reason ended in the victory of greed.
“Great person. It is true that my heart is shaken, but what can I do if I leave this place? “The risk is too high.”
“but. That may be so. “Then how about this?”
Jeong Gwang’s hand moved again.
Wanggu internally cheered.
‘Have you seen this kind of idiot! it’s okay! ‘Let’s sell it!’
However, Jeong Gwang’s hand did not take out a new slip, but instead retrieved one of the slips that were lying on the table.
Wang Gu opened his mouth and then barely managed to ask.
“W-why suddenly… … ?”
“When I think about it, I paid too much.”
“… … .”
“Is this still a lot? “Let’s take one more piece out.”
The three slips were reduced to one.
Wang Gu’s face hardened.
“Great person. “You’re very mischievous.”
“I’m serious.”
“I will decline the offer. Please return carefully.”
“Tomorrow, you won’t be able to sell it at a lower price than this. Are you sure you don’t mind?”
“Are you threatening me in the great heavens?”
“no. “I’m telling you the reality.”
As soon as Zheng Guang finished speaking, Zhao took out some documents and spread them out on the table.
Wanggu’s eyes widened as he looked at the documents, wondering if this was some kind of trick.
‘Unbelievable! Why did you buy so much rice? And at a generous price?’
Jeong Gwang explained the reason.
“I became interested in this business. I didn’t know, but there were quite a few rumors. “I plan to sell products at a lower price than the price sold at Sumi Store in the stores I have purchased so far and in the stores I will purchase in the future.”
Wang Gu was angry.
“Protect the upper way! “What are you doing?”
Jeong Gwang responded with action.
The voucher on the table disappeared and a voucher with a lower amount appeared.
“How about this?”
“… … !”
“Then what about this?”
“Get out now… … 100 million!”
Wang Gu was trembled in fear.
Another low-value slip appeared to be placed on the table, and then slowly got stuck!
‘Go, Gosu! ‘You’re a martial arts expert!’
Jeong Gwang’s kind voice pierced his ears.
“Don’t worry, I don’t plan on using force. “This is my final offer.”
“… … .”
“If you don’t like it, let’s have a friendly competition starting tomorrow.”
“… … .”
Is there any chance of winning when fighting with a huge amount of money?
Wang Gu closed his eyes tightly.
