I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon

Episode 45. Merchandising is just trading (1)

“It was cool in the morning and evening, but now it seems that the heat has subsided.”

After breakfast, Hwabok lightly folded and unfolded her fan.

“Brother, I’ll just go out and see.”

When the painter put on his clothes and prepared to go out, the painter opened his mouth with a disapproving expression.

“Are you going to Sochon to play for the doctor again?”

“no. Today, I’m going to Sangga Sangang.”

“Songa top? What are you doing there?”

Naturally, I was curious not only about the clothes, but also about the eyes of the flowerpot next to me.

In fact, the two of them knew that Lieutenant Jo had gone all the way to Sochon and was being treated for tetanus by a fireman.

To the extent that the son of the head of the family head, who has such a high prestige that even Congressman Song, who is called Chohyeon Jeil, was called home and received treatment, even went to the slums to receive treatment. So, after looking into it, there is already an evaluation that the fireman’s name is more than Congressman Song in the street.

Because of that, Hwabok did not openly oppose the Hwabu’s hospital gambling, but he did not openly oppose it like before.

“There is an abandoned mine near Sochon, and I was thinking of renting it out.”

“Abandoned mine? Why a mineshaft? You’re not trying to dig for gold, are you?”

“Of course not. I have something to keep.”

“Ah, are you making a decoction? So it looks like you’re trying to keep it and then sell it.”

“Yeah, what is it?”

The fireman didn’t feel the need to explain everything to his brother, so he just nodded.

“I don’t know much about medicine, so I won’t interfere, but I believe that I will take care of myself so as not to harm the family name.”

“yes.”

“Oh, then, are you going with Lieutenant Jo to the song troupe?”

“Originally, we were going to go together, but since I have an urgent matter, I’m going alone.”

In fact, Professor Jo asked me to go a little later.

The reason was that it would take time for the general manager to find out the market price of the abandoned mine. I checked it out and asked to go with him, but the painter was in a hurry and wanted to go first.

“Okay then, shall I go with you?”

“no. This is enough for me alone.”

“Is that so? But if you rent an abandoned mine, you should at least have a down payment… Do you have any money?”

“First of all, I want to know the price. If the conditions are right, you can sign a contract. Even if the conditions are right, I won’t sign a contract right away, so I don’t need money.”

“If you ever need money, just tell me. Even though things are not good, I still have money to borrow.”

“I’ve made a lot of money these days, so I won’t have to open my hands to my brother.”

“You said you made a lot of money? Are there many patients in Sochon?”

“People in Sochon treat me almost for free, so it doesn’t make any money.”

“Then how did you make so much money?”

“Soldiers who treated me at Maseok Mountain in the past sent money for treatment saying thank you.”

The fact that Lieutenant Jo was being treated by the fireman became a secret, not a secret, and spread among the soldiers.

The soldiers who were healed by Hwabu heard the news and sent their treatment money to Hwang’s side.

In fact, soldiers do not have to pay for treatment to punished doctors, but since they survived after suffering fatal injuries, they paid part of the reward money for treatment.

Thanks to that, the fireman, whose pockets were thick, was even thinking of buying an abandoned mine if the price was right.

“The soldiers paid for the treatment? Usually they don’t pay for treatment, do they?”

“Normally, but since I am a nobleman, I am not originally subject to punishment. I guess that’s why I paid for it.”

“okay. what could it be I get it. Have a good trip then.”

“yes.”

When the painter bowed his head slightly and went out, Hwabok opened the fan he had folded and fanned lightly, looking at his brother’s potted plant.

“What do you think?”

“What are you asking out of the blue?”

“The fact that Professor Jo is being treated by Won-hwa. I honestly don’t understand that very well.”

“I didn’t understand it either, so I researched it and found that Wonhwa’s reputation was quite high among soldiers and military officers. Maybe that’s why.”

“The soldiers have never been treated by a doctor like Congressman Song, so it is possible, but isn’t it Lieutenant Jo?”

“That’s true… I don’t know, but there are rumors that Congressman Bong is learning medicine from a painter. It’s absurd, but… In the midst of that, there seems to be a saying among the soldiers that it’s name and trust. Maybe that’s why?”

“her! really! that’s really absurd The bottom line is that Won Hwa’s medical skills surpass those of Congressman Song or Congressman Bong… How can a painter be more advanced in medicine than those who have been engaged in medicine for decades?”

It was difficult to understand at all with the hwabok.

“Usually, aren’t there geniuses who often discuss with college students even at a young age? Isn’t Wonhwa such a genius in medicine?”

“genius! He’s a genius… Well, Wonhwa has been outstanding since he was young. If he had set his will on studies, he would have greatly revitalized his family. Too bad!”

“Brother, in fact, it is difficult for Won-hwa to enter the government as a literary man now that Gajang Jo monopolizes all the government posts in the prefecture. And even if you go into government service, it’s more difficult to get to a high-ranking position. On the other hand, I also think that it might be wiser for Wonhwa to choose medicine instead.”

The words of the flower pot were actually the words of the older brother Hwa-bok, who will take the liberal arts class again next year.

Hwabok put on a shaky expression, and then smoked another chungcheong.

“Keuheum- The weather is cool, but it gets hotter during the day. I’m going to go read a book now.”

The flower pot smiled as he watched his brother’s disappearing back and went to the backyard.

‘Certainly, my brother has softened a lot. Wonhwa’s reputation is higher than I thought, so I have no choice but to admit it even if I don’t want to admit it?’

Perhaps, after a little more time in this state, I thought that the older brother would acknowledge the younger brother’s choice just as he acknowledged his own choice.

“Who is looking for me?”

Song Jong-pan tilted his head after hearing the servant’s words.

“Confucius, a painter at the painter’s shop, came to visit Mr. Lee.”

“Who is Confucius of Fire? There is no relationship with the painter…. And isn’t that a family that is going down? ah! Hwa Congressman! I remembered now.”

Song Jong-pan recalled the fireman as he rummaged through his memory and hit his knee with a click.

“Was Congressman Seok admiring it? Anyway, yes, what happened to him… No. Take them to the annex for now.”

“yes.”

After refining the clothes, Song Jong-pan went to the annex and thought about why the painter came to visit him.

‘At that time, even though I asked him to come, he must have given me money, so you know it’s empty. What did you come for? These days, the painter’s job market has declined a lot. Did he come here to borrow money?’

Although the painter is a family that is in decline, it still has a fairly large land. If you put it as collateral, you might be able to borrow money.

tilt.

Soon, however, Song Jong-pan’s head shook from side to side once.

Looking at the number of servants under his command and the total amount of real estate, he came to the conclusion that the painter was not yet strong enough to open his hand in a shop.

‘If you meet me, you’ll understand why I’m here. By the way, I think about the day, and Sangdeok comes to mind.

The friend and lover of the past had now become an open person.

I wanted to do it anyway, but I couldn’t do anything because the family of that bastard had a greater prestige than the Song Dynasty.

I forcibly brushed off my irritation and entered the annex, where I saw the painter drinking tea.

“oh! Hwa Gongja. Long time no see.”

Before he knew it, Song Jong-pan’s face had a smile typical of a merchant.

“Yes, I haven’t seen you in a while.”

While receiving Song Jong-pan’s hospitality, the painter thought to himself that perhaps today’s work could go well without the help of Lieutenant Jo.

‘Yeah, even though you saved a friend with whom you had a bad relationship, you still saved a friend who was dying because of you. You didn’t forget me.’

“I always wanted to go to the painter’s shop once and express my gratitude for the job, but how did you come first?”

“Yes, I have some business to come to you first.”

“What are you doing? Oh look at my mind A precious person came, but it’s just a car. Gyeom.”

“Yes sir.”

“Tell Suk-su Gong to take care of the refreshments since a special guest has arrived.”

“yes.”

When the servant in front of the outbuilding disappeared, Song Jong-pan sat across from the fireman and drank the prepared tea.

“This was cut off in the middle.”

“it’s okay.”

“Ah, by the way, what did you come for?”

“I heard that the abandoned mine near Sochon belonged to the Songa guild. I came to see if I could rent it and use it.”

“Rent?”

Song Jong-pan tilted his head.

If the abandoned mine was to be developed again, it was right to purchase it.

Lease is literally a temporary rental, but in that case, when the mine is developed, if even gold comes out, you can not claim ownership.

“Yes, I’m going to store some stuff in the abandoned mines. It looks almost deserted… there are some people walking around. It is difficult to store things when people come and go, so I would like to rent them out.”

“I don’t understand why an abandoned mine isn’t a warehouse and rented out to store things.”

“As Confucius Song knows, am I not serving as a member of the council? I sometimes make and store medicine, but the weather is hot, so the medicine I made is easily spoiled, so I need a cool place.”

“Ah, that’s what it’s for. Then we won’t develop abandoned mines.”

“yes. If it is possible to rent, I plan to build a hut at the entrance of the abandoned mine and open a medical room.”

“Who would go to such a remote place for treatment?”

Song Jong-pan was very puzzled because he did not know that Lieutenant Jo was still on his way to receive treatment from the painter.

“I can’t do it if you don’t come, but why don’t you come find me?”

“Haha well, it could be because Congressman Seok has a medical practice that he also acknowledged.”

“I brought Nari refreshments.”

At that time, the servant pretended to be outside.

“Bring it in.”

“yes.”

When the servant left the refreshment and left, the painter grabbed a snack that looked like a medicinal snack and ate it.

‘uh! very sweet Could this be made with honey?’

The painter was slightly surprised by the sweetness of the honey.

It is an era where there is salt but no sugar. Because of that, things that can be sweetened were very rare, but only sweets contained precious honey.

‘No matter how rich the upper ranks are, honey is put into cookies. It’s much better than our empty house.’

The painter also thought that money was the best.

In fact, if you look closely, there are problems with becoming a high official and reviving the family, and there are problems with green pay, but also because you can take a step in various businesses in the prefecture without being marked.

Song Jong-pan was counting in his mind as he watched the painter eat the snacks.

‘Seeing that you are only impressed with refreshments, it seems that you can’t even eat these things normally, so I guess you don’t have much money. Well, that means renting an abandoned mine. how will we do it? Even if my father had in mind selling the abandoned mine, he wouldn’t have thought of leasing it.

Song Jong-pan thought that he would have to open firebox once.

If it was selling an abandoned mine, it would be right to introduce him to his father, the owner, but since he was leasing an abandoned mine that would not sell anyway, he thought he could make a decision on his own.

“By the way, if you were to lease an abandoned mine, how long would you consider the period and price?”

“I don’t know the market well. First of all, I’m thinking of renting it for about two years. How much will I have to pay for that?”

“Two years… Even though it is an abandoned mine, if you build a hut and open a medical room, you should receive 10 nyang per month.”

In an instant, the fireman’s eyes widened slightly.

I was looking forward to it until I said that I would not receive money because I was using an abandoned mine and I had a relationship with myself, but I thought it was ridiculously expensive.

I was disappointed and my mood was devastated.

“Hmm- that’s right. All right. I will come back after thinking about it for a while.”

“Ah yes.”

Song Jong-pan, who thought he would lower the price through bargaining, stood up together with a bewildered expression when the painter said he would come again.

“Then see you next time.”

“Yes, take a look.”

Song Jong-pan scratched his head when the painter disappeared ’empty’.

‘I don’t think I’ll ever come back. Did I call you too hard? Well, it’s a place where you can’t rent or not because the amount is low, but it’s a little uncomfortable.’

From the standpoint of the Songga Merchants, 10 nyang per month was an embarrassing amount to even call it a business.

What made him feel uncomfortable was the fireman’s eyes of disappointment toward him as he walked.

‘Well, it’s a nobleman who is going down, so there’s no need to be serious about relationships. From what I’ve seen, it looks like I’ll only be a lawmaker from now on.’

Big hum.

Song Jong-pan cleared his throat and forcibly removed the awkwardness.

Meanwhile, the fireman who came out of the songga upper house was making an absurd expression.

“No matter how much I don’t know the market price, I’m renting an abandoned mine for 10 nyang a month. I’d rather buy someone and dig a crypt with that money.”

It was only then that I realized that what Song Jong-pan said at the inn that day about repaying the favor was pure vain.
