I Became the Crown Prince of a Ruined Country

37 – Chapter 37

While I couldn’t answer, Xin Leung-gun quickly withdrew his open hand.

“Ahahahaha, this is too much to talk about. I have no intention of ostracizing Young master because of Youngzheng, that child. Anyway, unlike my brother, I’m not the type to directly support Young master.”

“Well, that’s right.”

Unlike Pyeongwon-gun, who even took on my political guardianship, Sinreung-gun is just a business partner.

It’s not like we’re openly collaborating.

Neither I nor Sinleung-gun will be directly involved in the management of the upper ranks.

The upper management position, which would be revealed on the surface, was to be left to Nogucheon. The actual owner of the top is me, and the largest shareholder and representative model will be Shinneung-gun.

‘It’s like covering your eyes and screaming, but it’s enough if you do a little catering.’

Those who know know that I am the actual owner of Nogucheon’s merchant troupe, and that the proceeds go to me and Shinleung-gun, but what should I do?

This is Shinneung-gun. If you mess with him, go to the benefactor who saved the country and ask him directly.

“Hmmm, shall we go back to the business of the guild? Since we decided to partner together, it seems like it’s time to fine-tune the details.”

“Of course. First of all, I want to spend half of the net profit, minus the cost, to reinvest for growth at the top.”

The ratio of reinvestment out of net income is called the reinvestment rate, otherwise called the retention rate.

The higher the reinvestment rate, the smaller the share that goes to shareholders. Of course, the profits falling to Shin Leung-gun and I, who will be the real owners of the upper house, will be smaller.

“When the upper class is launched in earnest and achieves success, there will always be people who follow our method. We need to increase our market share as much as possible through aggressive business expansion before latecomers catch up.”

“Latecomer? Share? So what Young master said is that we should establish our top rank before there are imitators?”

“Yes.”

It must have been the first time he had heard it, but Sinreung-gun solved the meaning of the Chinese characters and gave a fairly accurate interpretation.

After that, Shin Leung-gun listened carefully to my explanation. When I came across a word I didn’t know in between, I went through the verification process, but seeing that he absorbed unfamiliar concepts right away, I was amazed by Shin Leung-gun’s clarity.

What I taught wasn’t really great, it was just basic economics and business management at the undergraduate level, but even so, Shin Leung-kun’s learning ability was excellent.

Innate intuition and understanding, wide-ranging knowledge learned through contact with many people, and deep insight into the world accumulated through all kinds of experiences.

I can see why teachers want to teach students who learn well.

Since the given time wasn’t long, we made a rough sketch and reached an agreement.

The result was as follows.

50% Of the net profit is reinvested, 10% is Nogucheoni, 10% is I, and 30% is Sinreung-gun.

In reality, Gucheon Noh is in charge of the operation of the guild, and I am in charge of directing the guild.

I provide ideas, and Nogucheon provides labor. So it is only natural that we take our share separately.

But Shin Leung-gun invested more in the upper ranks than the two of us.

Basically, the reputation of Shinneung-gun. In addition to this, the personal network infrastructure that Shinneung-gun has is spread not only in the country of Cho, but throughout all countries, helping to easily enter the market of other countries.

Since the intangible assets of Shin Leung-gun have a much higher value than the labor force of me or Nogu-cheon, it was natural for the dividend rate to increase.

After the tuning was finished, Shin Leung-gun moved his eyes to the bag I had unpacked next to him.

“Then, can I get a glimpse of the treasured goods that Young master cherished so much?”

“Yeah, I thought I should play one game before I go.”

“Do you want to play?”

“You’ll know when you see it.”

I asked as I unwrapped the wrapping cloth.

“Shin Leung-gun, do you enjoy playing baduk or handball?”

“Occasionally, I do. Among my guests, there is a person called Pogong, and he is a master of hand-to-hand. Come to think of it, he said he wanted to try hand-to-hand with Gongja once.”

“hahahaha, did you hear that I went close to Nogucheon, who will be the leader of the guild?”

“It was quite famous. Young master said it was the first time? Is it real?”

“Yes, it was my first time. Instead, I played some Go. And this…”

The items I brought are quite heavy, so I pick them up with both hands and place them between the new tombs.

A square wooden board. A straight line was drawn across it. It was a form in which each square of the checkerboard was raised.

“This is a new play I made.”

“Looks like Go?”

“That’s right. I improved it by mixing a bit of Go and Yukbak.”

Following the plate, take out the objects.

Total of 32 pieces, 16 on each side.

The largest piece has one chapter and number written on each side, medium-sized pieces are given 8 pieces, and small pieces 7 pieces.

“Sang(相), Horse(Equine), Car(車), Gun(砲), Sa(士), Servant(卒)…Are you a soldier?”

Chancellor, cavalryman, charioteer, crossbowman, tactician, soldier.

Among these, in the case of the statue, I used the elephant statue in my previous life, but I replaced the elephant bottle with the prime minister statue because I thought it was strange.

“That’s right. Each piece’s action magic is different like the yukbak, but it’s played alternately like go.”

“Interesting. Did you name it?”

“It was called Janggi.”

“Is it the Go of the generals? It’s a miniature version of the war with each type of soldier, so it fits very well.”

I intentionally unified all the letters into Jo Nara’s.

Originally, like the chess I had encountered in my previous life, I wanted to set the countries of each side as Qin and Zhao and use different letters, but then the person who would capture the Qin seemed to be repulsed.

Like the way they treated Jeong, the Zhao people’s resistance to the Qin Dynasty was maniacal.

Since the game was simple and there was nothing difficult about the method, Sinreung-gun learned how to play chess with only brief explanations.

“I’m going to take the number.”

“Then I’ll take the chief.”

After a while. The chess ended with my victory.

No matter how good Shinneung-gun is, the result was decided from the beginning. I am a person who has enjoyed playing chess since my previous life when there were pros, and Shin Leung-gun, today was the first game in his life.

“How do you feel about playing chess?”

“It’s fun. It doesn’t rely on luck like a six-stroke game, and it doesn’t take too long to play a game like Go. In addition, it contains the characteristics of each type better than mock battles, so scholars and military experts from the military The generals will be interested.”

King Xinleung looked up at the chess piece with the word Su (帥) written on it.

“And these horses. They’re made of wood now, but if you change the material, you can raise the price to the ceiling.”

“Of course. I’d like to make it with ivory and silver once I have some capital.”

“Excellent. In that case, the chess board should also be made with high-quality wood and decorated with decorations on the side. Rich people won’t mind the price if it’s something that will enhance their prestige.”

The characteristics of luxury goods described by Shin Leung-gun were one of the reasons why I dared to choose organs as my main item among various items.

It was important that it was simple to make, and that it could cover a wide range of consumers by varying the ingredients.

“And I’ll leave this behind. Can I leave it with the next guest?”

He said that he would promote himself.

“Rather, it was something I wanted to ask for.”

A game enjoyed by Shinneung-gun.

With that alone, long-term box office success is guaranteed.

Those who want to connect with Sinleung-gun will buy organs, and if possible, they will look for the same guild as the place where Shinleung-gun bought it.

Customers who have entered the long-term will trade other items while they find the top, and if so, they will become our loyal customers later.

‘I think it’s perfect.’

Dreaming of a golden future ahead, I returned to my senses at Shin Leung-gun’s next words.

“And I want to put one of my own at the top.”

“Yes? Of course, I understand that Xinleung-gun wants someone to watch over the Merchant. I have prepared something else to dispel such concerns, so…”

“Ah, don’t worry. He’s not a well-known person.”

If there is no connection with Shinneung-gun, there is nothing to deny.

When I stopped talking and showed an attitude of listening, Shin Leung-gun continued.

“Is there a group of envoys from Wei this time? They said they secretly followed me to see me. He’s a very fierce guy. Nothing is known to the public, so even if I took him, I wouldn’t think of him as a link with me.”

So you’re saying that you’re a completely new eater from the country of Wei to see Shinling?

‘No, since it wasn’t revealed at all, it must have been before Shinneung-gun accepted it as an official diner.’

“In that case. I understand. If you give me your name or a brief personal information, I’ll talk to Nogucheon.”

“Has age just become a contract? He is from Liangyang, and his name is Zhang Yi.”

Jang?

I think I’ve heard of it somewhere.

I inadvertently repeated the name a few times in a cryptic feeling that seemed to come to mind.

“Jang…Jang…”

From noble mtl dot com

I’m sure I’ve heard of it somewhere, but I can’t remember who it was. It’s useless to try to hold on to something you can’t remember and try to think of it.

First of all, let’s focus on finishing the story with Shinneung-gun.

‘If we meet in person later, I’ll think of something.’

§

When Heidan and Shinreunggun were playing their chess while preparing for the launch of the upper ranks.

In another part of Handan, there were also people plotting some sort of scheme.

“Geonsingun’s prestige was considerable. I didn’t expect that Pyeongwongun would be pushed back.”

“It’s also largely because of the antagonism between Chu Yeon and Gong Son Ryong in Oh Yun Gaek. Sam Jae Sa is also a formidable talented person. In particular, Hui Sa was also a diner in Pyeongwon County, so she is well versed in the dynamics of Oh Yun Gaek. The counterattack through Yeon’s hostage is also , There is a circumstance that Hui-sa may have intervened in the feud between Chu-yeon and Gongsun-ryong.”

“At this rate, Gunsin-gun might win.”

The man said in a tone that he didn’t like that very much.

From his point of view, if possible, it was better for Gunsin-gun and Pyeongwon-gun to inflict more damage on each other. It was not the picture he wanted for Pyeongwongun to be pushed back more easily than he thought.

The person on the other side of the man knew that too.

For the sake of his master’s ambition, the diners made up their minds.

A very extreme number.

“Your Majesty really cares about the enemy commander from Wei.”

“That’s right. Perhaps he was fed up with the political struggle between Geonsin-gun and Pyeongwon-gun, so he even suggested that he be the other side after seeing the enemy commander.”

Of course, the enemy general refused. I know for sure that if I just accept it and turn both Gunsin-gun and Pyeongwon-gun into enemies, even if I have the king’s favor, I’ll be walking a tightrope, not knowing when I’ll die.

King Hana Jo seemed to have liked the enemy commander quite a bit, and he still kept the enemy commander from returning to Wei. While he offered the upper seat a whopping 3 times.

But if the enemy general dies, what will King Jo think?

“I will kill the enemy general for the sake of the ball.”
