Episode 835 Go to your head and argue about that. (5)
“I think it’s here, Mr. Haengsu?”
“Well, does it look like that?”
Those pulling the cart stopped by patting the horse on the back. A large pier and a large crowd of people were spread out before my eyes.
“… … “Why are there so many?”
“Well, really?”
Baggage was piled up here and there like a mountain, and the line of carts lined up behind was endless.
Of course, it’s not something that I don’t understand.
Launching a boat on the Yangtze River now is tantamount to suicide. However, this is the only place where you can safely launch a boat. In other words, all merchants who need to launch boats on the Yangtze River will flock here.
“… … “I never thought there would be so many merchants on the Yangtze River.”
“You don’t usually see people crowded together like this.”
“yes.”
Haengsu nodded and stared ahead with a nervous expression.
“Anyway, be careful, this is no ordinary dock. Isn’t that the place run by Hwasan and Cheon Woo-maeng? “If you say one word wrong, you’ll be in trouble right away.”
“They are from political factions, so I really want to do that.”
“You don’t know! “Do you know how high the standards of these people who say they are from the old generation or from the five generations are high?”
Haengsu shook his head as if he was tired of thinking about it.
“The people that merchants find more difficult to deal with than high-ranking officials are the noble families. I’m sure it’s not the first time that people have lost their minds after believing only the words of political faction. So, don’t relax and think that you are dealing with a high-ranking official.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“… … Let’s go.”
After swallowing dry saliva, Haengsu led the band and approached the dock.
‘But who should I talk to?’
Since it was a system he had never seen before, it was difficult for him to get a feel for it. It was even more so because the people around him were so distracted.
The monk’s gaze, which had been constantly looking around, landed on a student in the center. The way he was holding a large booklet looked a little different from others.
‘Is it there?’
Haengsu quietly approached the student and asked.
“excuse me… … W, can I take a boat from here?”
stroke!
Then the student suddenly turned his head and smiled brightly at me.
“Welcome, sir!”
“… … .”
“Guys, water! Bring cool water and wet towels! right now!”
“yep!”
Those who were busy around Seosaeng rushed to open the chest, took out water that had been soaked in ice water, and a cold towel.
“Thank you for your hard work coming this long way!”
“now! here.”
Haengsu suddenly accepted what they offered. As he held the cold gourd in his hand, it felt like all the hard work he had put in to get here had evaporated.
“Is this your first time here?”
“That’s true, but… … The Lord of the Sangsan said I could take a boat here… … .”
“Oh, is that so? “Which upper level are you by any chance?”
“We are from the top of cheers.”
“Cheering section?”
The student flipped through the list in his hand.
“Let’s see, cheering top, cheering top… … . ah! Here it is. Book in seconds! If it’s Missi’s first time, this is the ship! Guys! “Accept guests!”
“Yeeeeep!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a bunch of rich men rushed in and started lifting the luggage from the cart onto the ship.
“Huh, huh… … ? “Is that heavy thing flashing like that?”
At the top, there are people who basically carry luggage as their daily routine. Nevertheless, I couldn’t help but be amazed at the sight of the visiting merchants carrying their luggage. That’s right, they are carrying two or three heavy loads that would take a decent man to lift with a grunt.
Just by looking at it, it was easy to guess that it was something out of the ordinary.
“It’s really powerful… … .”
“Fly! Fly quickly!”
“Run, you bastards!”
“If you’re late, you’ll all die! Fly!”
“… … .”
The merchants looked blankly at the people who were carrying the luggage with all their might.
‘No, do you really need to do something like that?’
The ship appears to be more desperate than the merchants carrying the cargo. It was quite strange considering that workers are basically people who try to make their work a little easier.
But it seemed like the student in front of him didn’t even like that.
“Did these guys just scoop up blood porridge? Move quickly! If I can’t carry all these loads today, I will die and you will also die! “You know that nobleman’s personality, don’t you?”
“Ok.”
At those words, the workers groaned and sped up even more.
“Fly! Fly quickly!”
“no! This ship can’t load any more! “If you put more on her, she’ll sink!”
“Then hurry up and get on the next boat! What on earth are you bastards doing? “Hurry up and don’t lose your stomach!”
“there! “Don’t put it up there any more!”
Haengsu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead as he watched the workers relentlessly carrying the luggage.
‘What on earth are we doing here?’
It was right then.

“Isn’t it Guan Hong?”
“huh?”
Hearing a familiar voice, Haengsu turned to the side. A familiar face was standing there.
“oh? Brother Lee Mong!”
“Are you here too? After all, among those who make a living on the Yangtze River now, there is probably no one who would not come here.”
“Yes, brother. “Your brother is here too.”
A merchant called Lee Mong approached and laughed.
“It must be crazy.”
“yes. What the heck is… … .”
“You’ll get used to it soon. “I’ve finally gotten used to it.”
Lee Mong looked around and spoke in a voice filled with admiration.
“Isn’t it amazing?”
“That’s right. After all, a volcano is a volcano. When on earth did they build this dock and where did they get these workers? From the looks of it, they don’t look like Taoists… … .”
“huh? “Don’t you know?”
“yes?”
“Look over there, over there.”
Lee Mong carefully pointed to a large man carrying luggage in front. Haengsu tilted his head.
“… … “Why is he there?”
“Look carefully. “There is no way you don’t know him.”
“yes?”
Haengsu, who had been looking at the man for a moment with his eyes closed, flinched for a moment.
“Well, I… … . no way?”
“That’s right. “It is the Great Sword of Taiping.”
“Why is that person here?!”
Taepyeongdaedo.
It is a famous mountain bandit of Cheonglimchae (靑林砦) located in the Taiping Mountains above the mouth. Due to his enormous spiritual power and vicious nature, there was no one among the merchants in the Igang area who did not know him.
Haengsu had also encountered him a few times. Because of the notoriety of the Taiping Islands, you had to pay more tolls on Taiping Mountain than on other mountains.
Lee Geon-man is famous for his monstrous physical strength.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
As the Taepyeongdaedo grunted while carrying the luggage, a passerby suddenly kicked his butt.
“Ahh!”
“This bastard is out! Fly quickly, you bastard!”
“S-sorry!”
The unbelievable sight made Hangsu Yu Gwan-hong’s face turn pale.
“What is this… … .”
That Taepyeongdaedo got his ass kicked and is even apologizing. So what on earth are they doing?
“They all seemed to be from Green Forest.”
“Hey, these workers? entire?”
“That’s right.”
“… … .”
Yu Gwan-hong’s whole body began to become wet with cold sweat.
A bandit carrying luggage from the top, what kind of absurd situation is this? It’s better to leave the fish to the cat.
“Gwae, are you okay?”
“If you think about it, it’s not such a bad thing. Take a look. Who are the people targeting this place the most right now? “Aren’t they outnumbered?”
“Of course.”
“You have to be at least a bandit to fight against such numbers. “How could enemy enemies easily come to a place where Nokrimdo is so crowded?”
“Ah, no, he’s still a bandit… … .”
“Tsk tsk. You seem to be worried about everything. Look over there.”
“yes?”
Yu Gwan-hong turned his gaze to the place pointed by Lee Mong. A huge flag was waving, and something was written on it in crooked handwriting.
“What did that write…” … .”
Yu Gwan-hong read the words with narrowed eyes and opened his mouth wide.
There is no need to be surprised anymore.
“… … “What is that?”
“They say it was written by the volcano god dragon himself. “No matter how strong the bandits are, will they be able to fight against the volcano?”
“… … .”
Yu Guanhong suddenly felt dizzy.
Everything that happens here is far outside of his common sense.
Bandits work at a dock built by a Taoist monk. Even the Taoist is a Hwasan man who is famous for being the best at defeating bandits in the world.
‘I don’t know anymore.’
Let’s not try to think. Anyway, all you have to do is make money.
“It looks like your luggage is all loaded.”
“B-already?”
Shipping usually takes longer than expected. It would take an entire day to fill one ship, even if you mobilize all the skilled workers available.
But not here. You can almost see the load piling up on the boat. Even if a child stacks wooden toy blocks randomly, he or she won’t be able to do it faster than me.
“Then let’s go to the island and see.”
“You mean, not across the street?”
“Tsk tsk. This person really came here without knowing anything. Here, you have to travel through the island. “I think he did it on purpose because he thought it would be a pain in the ass if he went to the waterway with his luggage and ran into a few enemies.”
“But doesn’t that mean we have to repeat loading and unloading twice?”
“Who cares? “It’s not what we do.”
After listening to it, I realized that it was true.
“Of course, you have to pay the ferry fare twice, but if you can just move the goods, the ferry fare is nothing. Anyway, I have to go now, so see you later.”
“Yes, brother.”
Yu Gwan-hong clutched his temple as he watched Lee Mong hurrying towards the ship. At that time, the student who was busy giving instructions here and there comes rushing over.
“You are the leader of the cheering platform, right? The shipment has been completed. “Once you get on the boat, you can go straight to the island.”
“Well, what should I do when I get to the island?”
“Don’t worry. We do all the unloading. However, the cart you brought cannot be loaded onto the ship, so please rent a cart there and move your luggage to the other side.”
“Ah, the cart… … .”
“It’s one cat per car.”
“… … .”
Seosaeng smiled a kind smile.
“And it doesn’t matter when the time is early like today, but if you arrive at the island late in the day, I recommend staying overnight on the island. These days, Sapa people are so rampant that it can be dangerous to travel at night. “We already have accommodations ready for you to stay on the island.”
“ah… … . It’s times like this to be thankful… … .”
“It’s five nyang per room.”
“… … .”
“Of course, meals are also provided.”
“… … “How much is that?”
“Hahahaha. “You can eat whatever you want.”
“… … .”
Obviously, that meal won’t be cheap either. For sure.
“Well, can I ask you one question?”
“Yes, as much as you want.”
“It looks like they’re building something over there right now. What is that?”
“iced coffee. There are more people than expected, so there are more people waiting. “We are building accommodations so they can rest.”
“ah. Then it will definitely be easier… … .”
“There will be a restaurant where you can have a quick meal, a tea house where you can enjoy tea, a bar where you can have a drink, and even a gambling house where you can kill time.”
“… … .”
“Please, often! “I hope you visit often!”
“… … yes.”
“Then I’ll leave.”
The student, who smiled kindly, turned around and shouted loudly.
“Move quickly, you guys! “The guests are waiting!”
I was filled with excitement as I ran. Yu Gwan-hong shook his head.
‘I don’t know what’s going on here.’
Even though he had lived and traveled around for quite a long time and had seen a lot of things, things in the world always seemed to go beyond his common sense.
If workers ask for money or unnecessary compensation, please report it immediately. Separate the worker’s bones and flesh.
