◈ Cheonryu Sangdan (4)
“What do you mean, congressman?”
“Mujin Dongja’s treatment was a method that did not exist on the existing continent. There is definitely Monk Hyeon-Gwang or Mother on the continent. And there will be patients like me who cannot be cured using the methods of existing doctors. “I want to open a clinic to treat such patients using the treatment of Mujin Dongja.”
This was my intuition as a merchant.
Immediately after receiving Mujin’s treatment, Hyeongwang’s heat treatment, and brain energy treatment. Ryu Ji-gwang was confident. Confidence that ‘this is a viable business.’
In addition, Ryu Ji-gwang had connections as the owner of the Heavenly Five Grand Merchants’ Association. This refers to connections with high-ranking officials and local magnates.
Among the dignitaries and wealthy people, there were many who were elderly, and there were quite a few who complained of similar symptoms to their mothers.
If you introduce such people to Mujin and provide treatment, you can make enormous profits.
Of course, it could be risky to proceed with such a project after only receiving treatment for the first time today.
If the effect of the treatment was insufficient, it would likely be like defrauding a high-ranking official or a wealthy person.
Nevertheless, this is why Ryu Ji-kwang is strongly pursuing this project.
That’s in addition to a merchant’s intuition.
‘Recently, the movements of local buntas are disturbing.’
It was for the safety of my family.
Yourself or your mother. Or when someone in your family is in danger. Shaolin was chosen by Ryu Ji-gwang for Bibil Hill. To be exact, it was a flash of light.
The absurd level of Hyun-gwang that he showed during the treatment a little while ago had a great influence on Ryu Ji-gwang’s decision.
The Cheonryu Sangdan was a merchant that became a big merchant through the transportation business that transported countless items across the continent.
Therefore, the Cheonryu Sangdan was a Sangdan and at the same time had a form close to a Pyo-guk. Naturally, numerous envoys were hired to handle the countless commercial trips, and the number of masters was also considerable.
Despite being the leader of the Cheonryu Sangdan, Ryu Ji-gwang had never seen anyone perform the miracles that Hyeon-gwang showed.
That’s why I thought about approaching Hyeon-gwang at first.
‘He was like a model of a stoic monk who had cut off ties with the world… … .’
Ryu Ji-gwang, who had not seen Hyeon-gwang enjoying alcohol and meat, came to the conclusion that approaching Hyeon-gwang with wealth was the worst way.
So, Ryu Ji-gwang is Hyeon-gwang’s favorite Mujin. And he intended to continue his relationship with Shaolin Temple through Mujin. By doing business together.
However, unfortunately or fortunately, Chubodangju Hyeonhyeon only half understood Ryu Ji-gwang’s intentions.
“The Lord of the Sangdan proposed a considerable amount of medical expenses for Mujin’s treatment. So, the clinic that he plans to open in Deungbong County is also a bad idea, as he means that he will open a clinic only for the rich. Amitabha Buddha.”
As far as his intention as a merchant to do business with rich people.
“We plan to give half of the profits from that clinic to Shaolin.”
“I’ve told you this many times, but we, Shaolin, don’t do business with the power of disciples.”
“I don’t know why you think it’s a business. “Couldn’t half of the profits from that clinic be used to help the poor in Shaolin?”
“If we only treat rich people to make money, the world will point fingers at our Shaolin.”
“… … .”
Ryu Ji-gwang didn’t show it outwardly, but he sighed in frustration.
If this proposal had been made to a group of beggars like the Gu faction or the Five Generations that restricted openness, they would have accepted it, thinking it was right.
No, it would be a good thing if he just accepted it, and some sects and families who only outwardly acted as political factions would have been persistent in threatening him in an attempt to extort more money.
‘I’m not worried about my money being ripped off, but I’m frustrated because I can’t communicate.’
When Ryu Ji-gwang was thinking of such thoughts in his mind. Mujin carefully opened her mouth.
“I may be presumptuous, but do you mind if I ask you a few words?”
“Tell me.”
After Hyeonyeon’s permission was granted, Mujin asked Hyeonyeon again a question.
“According to what Monk Chubodangju said, wouldn’t the biggest problem with opening a clinic now be that our Shaolin only treats the ‘rich’ in order to make money?”
“Hmm. It is true.”
“Then shouldn’t we just treat everyone without distinguishing between the rich and the poor? “As a Buddhist, if you provide medical treatment to sentient beings and heal their bodies, how can you be criticized?”
Moo-jin’s words, as if asking why he was worrying about such an obvious thing, actually made Ryu Ji-gwang feel even more frustrated.
In order to avoid distinguishing between the rich and the poor, treatment costs had to be cut enormously. It was said that bringing in high-ranking officials or wealthy people would produce little profit.
But for some reason, an unexpected story came out of Mujin’s mouth.
“Of course, in that case, if the treatment fee is set high, the poor will not be able to receive treatment, and if the treatment fee is set low, the Cheonryu Sangdan will suffer a loss because it will not make a profit. And no matter how low the price is, poor people who are busy making ends meet will ultimately not be able to receive treatment. So how about this? “The treatment facility is split into two locations.”
“Split into two places?”
Ryu Ji-gwang asked, intuitively feeling that a strange solution might come out, and Mu-jin lived up to his expectations.
“yes. One is completely free and open to the public. And the remaining one is to be used as a treatment facility for the rich, as Cheonryu Sangdan had hoped.”
“Rich people are not fools. Mujin Dongja. “Why would rich people use expensive treatment facilities when they can be used for free?”
“You just have to differentiate between the two facilities. “The equipment in the facilities is the same, but in the free facilities, group treatment is provided, and in the high-cost facilities, the best treatment is provided to a single patient through a reservation system.”
The method that Mujin came up with. It was taken from the way large fitness centers operate.
Instead of providing free access to a gym at a low price, you have to pay a high fee for PT classes to take professional classes from a trainer.
There were two main reasons why Mujin bothered to think of this method and join the conversation. One is because I am frustrated with the head of Chubo who refuses to give money to Shaolin.
And another thing is that the Cheonryu Sangdan is currently connected to the dark side. Or it was because it was planned to be related in the future.
Mujin decided to delve deeper into the internal affairs of Cheonryu Sangdan while conducting business together.
That’s why Mujin even added explicit words that would make Hyeonyeon frown.
“As you know, the lord of the merchants, rich people love luxury goods. Instead of drinking tea that can be bought for just one day, I drink tea such as Yongjeong tea, which boasts the price of a silver nyang or a golden nyang. Of course, this is because the scent is better than cheap tea, but there is also a clear vanity involved.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha. I know what you mean. Mujin Dongja. Those free facilities that can be used by groups, and those that can be used alone by reservation. Because of that difference, the rich will actually patronize the facilities even more!”
Mujin’s logic was something that Ryu Ji-gwang also knew, having experienced it many times, so Ryu Ji-gwang burst into laughter with an expression of satisfaction.
Of course, from Hyeonhyeong’s perspective, it was uncomfortable to hear.
“Mujin you bastard! “How could a disciple of Shaolin talk about worldly vanity and try to take money by exploiting other people’s vanity?”
However, upon hearing that cry, Mujin looked at Hyeonyeon with an expression as if something was wrong.
“What on earth is Monk Chubodangju so afraid of?”
“What!?”
“When we talked about making money by treating the rich and giving it to the poor, people were afraid that Shaolin would be criticized for treating the rich because he was crazy about money. So, this time I suggested that we treat the poor together, and they said they were trying to take advantage of the rich. “Are you so afraid of Shaolin being criticized?”
“How dare you try to taunt Shaolin right now!!”
Even though it was in front of Ryu Ji-gwang, a customer, Hyeon-hyeon couldn’t hold back his anger and shouted, but he couldn’t stop Moo-jin.

“Is that really the will of the founders, Great Master Bodhidharma and Shakyamuni Buddha? Buddhist scriptures clearly talk about mercy for sentient beings, but why are we Shaolin hiding in the mountains for fear of being pointed at? “It may be presumptuous, but I am more afraid of turning away sentient beings out of fear of pointing fingers than of being pointed at like that.”
And at Mujin’s next words, Hyeonyeon’s face looked as if he had been hit hard.
Of course, Mujin did not have great intentions for Buddhism or mercy for sentient beings. This doesn’t work either. That doesn’t work either. I was frustrated with Hyeong-hyeong’s unconditional refusal, so I was just babbling.
Like right now.
“Far away, beyond the Cheonchuk River, there is the country of the Saekmok people. “When a local governor there made wealth by exploiting people through harsh taxes, his second wife tried to stop him.”
It was the first time in my life that I had heard of the story of Seoyeok, and everyone present at Chubodangjujeon focused on Mujin’s story with strange expressions.
“But the prefectural governor laughed at the woman and promised, ‘If you ride a horse naked and ride around the prefecture, I will reduce your taxes.’ What do you think she did?”
“… … Are you really saying that she got on her horse naked?”
“yes. According to the conditions of the county ordinance, the woman rode a horse naked and rode around the county, and the county governor eventually reduced the taxes of the residents according to the agreement. If so, will you point your finger at that woman and curse at her?”
“Hmm. How could you look at me and say that! But even if I don’t, someone will definitely criticize the woman.”
In response to Hyeonjeong’s answer, Mujin shook his head.
“Sentient beings are not fools just because they live in the secular world. Monk Chubodangju. It is said that everyone who lived in her county understood her deep meaning and her mercy, so while she was walking around her county, everyone went into her house and did not dare to look at her.”
Just one person. There was someone who was spying on her without her knowledge. A person who has become synonymous with the disease called voyeurism in modern times.
However, there was no need for Mujin to tell the truth.
“Like this, sentient beings will realize the mercy of Shaolin, even though it may be criticized by some. And what if you don’t realize it? In the end, isn’t the important thing that we, Shaolin, are trying to save sentient beings?”
In response to Mujin’s question, Hyeonyeon and Hyemin closed their eyes for a moment and recited a number.
After a while. When they opened their eyes, their eyes were much clearer, as if they had let go of their agony.
“Whew. Top stock price. We, Shaolin, will use half of the money earned to save sentient beings, and we will agree to open a clinic together under the premise that the clinic will have free treatment facilities. However, this work requires the approval of Monk Bangjang. “First, I will talk to the head monk and decide whether to accept it or not and the details.”
“I am grateful for the decision of the Chu Bo Party leader. “I plan to visit Shaolin for treatment for my mother and I in the future, so please contact me when you make a decision.”
When Ryu Ji-gwang greeted Po-kwon, Hyeon-yeon responded as class president.
* * *
That evening.
While Mu-jin is sparring in Hye-gwan’s pavilion. Master Hyeoncheon, the leader of Shaolin, came to visit Hyeongwang.
Ambassador Hyeoncheon had heard from Hyeonghyeon everything that happened at Chubodang today, and the reason he came to visit Hyeongwang was to tell him about it.
“also. Mujin was the child who would change our Shaolin in the right direction. Ambassador type.”
When Hyeon-cheon heard that story, Hyeon-cheon also felt like he had been hit on the head.
The only thing that puzzled me was how on earth Mujin knew about the ancient history of such saekmok people.
“Hehehe. If you do this, Mujin has earned a whopping 100 gold nyang from Shaolin, and it looks like he will be making a lot of money in the future. Monk Bangjang.”
“yes. Ambassador type. “In the future, Shaolin will take the lead in saving sentient beings through the money earned by Mujin.”
“Hehehehe.”
At Ambassador Hyeoncheon’s words, Hyeongwang burst into empty laughter and looked straight at Hyeoncheon.
“If you do that, shouldn’t you give Mujin a reward? “I have earned a lot of money to be used to save sentient beings.”
“What kind of award… … .”
In response to Hyeoncheon’s question, Hyeongwang lifted the bottle in his hand, quenched his thirst, and opened his mouth.
“How about giving a grand treat? Monk Bangjang.”
“W-what do you mean? Ambassador type.”
“Thanks to Mujin, a lot of money came into Shaolin, right? So, wouldn’t it be possible to give away at least one Daehwandan?”
Hyeon-cheon felt dizzy as Hyeon-gwang said these words as if they were so obvious.
‘The Great Master tried to reach nirvana but failed and became strange. Was that really true?’
Come to think of it, a strange scent had been tickling his nose since earlier.
“Ambassador type!? What’s in that bottle… … ?”
When Hyeoncheon asked in surprise, Hyeongwang answered with a strange smile.
“What is so serious about this bottle? Hehehe. “If you feel burdened by a large welcome party, at least present a summons.”
“… … .”
Hyuncheon thought.
He wondered if the person in front of him was Nokrimdo wearing the mask of Hyeon-gwang.
