Black Corporation: Joseon

Chapter 678

Episode 678 Yu Yu Sang-jong (8)

The night of Liaoyang Castle when Heilangbang disappeared was chaos itself.

Heukrangbang was destroyed by the police, and most of Anesokgul caves were closed. And those who were poisoned by cherry blossoms were also judged as soon as they were arrested and taken to open-air mines near Aoji and Fushun.

It was an open pit mine, so to dig up the right minerals, you had to dig at least 10 holes (approximately 30m), and prisoners who were sentenced to hard labor were mobilized for the most dangerous tunnel excavation work.

In this way, the issue of nursing care seemed to have been resolved, but the confusion was just beginning.

As Heilangbang, which had been rocking the underworld of Yangyangseong, collapsed, a group of idiots began to set up to take its place.

The problem with this was that Liaoyang Province was a much smaller city compared to big cities like Beijing and Nanjing.

Because the city was small and its economy was small, there was no Sapa comparable to Heilangbang.

In addition, because the surrounding area was overflowing with Jurchen people, who were known for their roughness, Liaoyang was a place where there were almost no Murim people who called themselves Baekdo.

In this situation, with the disappearance of Heukrangbang, the night of Liaoyangseong Castle became Muju Gongsan.

There were more than one person who wanted to become the owner of the nightlife in Yoyangseong.

Owners of large bases who had paid off Heukrangbang and paid attention to him began to aim for that position, and usurers also participated in the competition. And those who supplied cherry blossoms to Heukrangbang also participated in the competition.

The only reason for those who participated in the fierce competition that was sure to be bloody was more money.

The thinking of the owners of the big bases was simple.

-You can gain even more profits if you dominate and monopolize all other baserunners!

-If we can bring under our control the moneylenders who were connected to Heukrangbang, we can solve not only the financial problem but also the supply and demand of women who sell their bodies in Juru at once!

In the case of usurers, not only were they restricted in interest rates by the military government applying imperial law, but their income was greatly reduced as officials from the National Tax Service came in whenever they could to conduct tax investigations.

-You need to find another source of income! Then the red light district is the best!

The reason why cherry tree suppliers participated was because the cherry caves, along with the heilangbang that protected them, collapsed.

Although many cherry blossom addicts were arrested, there were still a significant number of cherry blossom addicts remaining.

-Juru is the best place for these addicts to safely smoke cherry blossoms!

-If you take control of alcohol, women, and usury to borrow money for the purchase of cherry blossoms, you can create a perfect circulation structure!

These were people who jumped into the bloody competition, dreaming of a rosy future that they could enjoy if they emerged victorious.

* * *

Even in this bloody battle, one eye and one ear of the competitors were turned towards the Milwis’ base located on one side of the entertainment district.

After the fight with Heukrangbang and only a few days later, the competitors saw that it had grown to a size similar to before and did not think about attacking the Milwis.

This was because they calculated that if they stepped forward and suffered losses, only other competitors would benefit.

“That’s a stupid decision. “Isn’t that right?”

The leader of the strike team nodded at the words of the Milwi branch leader who analyzed the situation.

Their choice was the best choice for Milwi.

This was because the more they weakened each other by eating at each other, the easier it was for Milwi to be dealt with.

“They probably know the danger. But they can’t join hands and attack us, can they? Because you never know when you might get stabbed in the back. So now we’re fighting for life or death like that. “They will plan to settle the situation as quickly as possible and then join us.”

When the strike team leader spoke, the branch manager smiled darkly and accepted the words.

“Thanks to you, we are having a fun time watching the fight, and the captain of the Sangyangseong Guards is so happy with the accumulating results that he wants to die.”

* * *

As the competition to occupy the night in the Liangyang Castle became more intense, Milwi was busily moving.

Milwi’s agents, who had already become adept at moving secretly through previous experience, roamed around Liaoyang Castle and dug into the weaknesses of their competitors.

The branch leader who organized the information obtained there met with the leader of the Gyuchaldae and handed over the information, and the leader of the Gyuchaldae used that information to capture the competitors.

They attacked the bootleggers’ bootlegging business and hit the illegal human trafficking scene. In this process, usury lenders were also arrested on charges of illegally borrowing money at high interest rates and coercing their sisters into extortion. And at the same time as arresting cherry blossom traders and human trafficking, they also captured the remaining cherry blossom addicts.

In addition, the assets they had were confiscated by the empire as criminal assets.

Thanks to this, the captain of the Yoyangseong Gyuchaldae accumulated tremendous achievements and received commendations and decorations from not only the military but also the Ministry of Finance and Economy.

“Thank you! “We will spare no effort in providing all cooperation as long as the headquarters is here!”

The branch leader smiled and accepted the words of the leader of the Gyuchaldae.

“Then we are grateful.”

About a month and a half after the bloody fight and the arrest frenzy by the police force erupted, the branch manager and the leader of the strike team stood up.

“Then let’s move slowly.”

“I’ve been sore for a while, but I’ll feel better now.”

Milwi, who had been quietly watching, made his move and in just three days, the night of Liaoyang Castle was taken over by Milwi.

* * *

As Milwi took control of the night of Liaoyang Castle, many things in Liaoyang Castle began to change.

First of all, most of the liquor in Liaoyang Province had to contract with the liquor supply company established by Milwi.

And Milwi’s Liquor Supply Company put out a bid notice to select a merchant that would supply white liquor for use on base.

Many merchants who saw the announcement submitted bids, and two merchants entered into contracts.

The merchant, who signed a contract with the Liquor Supply Company, brought in various grades of white liquor that was of better quality than the white liquor that had been previously imported into the city. Milwi’s Liquor Supply Company sold these liquors to baserunners and the private sector at a reasonable price.

Through this process, Milwi was able to take advantage on two occasions just by running the bases.

Once from selling alcohol to base runners, and again from the profits earned by base runners.

Even while fierce competition was taking place, the foundation established by the mill continued to prosper. While all kinds of forces were fighting to control the night of Liaoyang Castle, the residents of Liaoyang Castle sought the safety of Milwi Giru.

The wealthy enjoyed singing and dancing in a private room and drinking high-quality soju, while the common people sipped soju while sitting around on a bench spread out in the yard on one side of the main building.

In this process, people who had a taste for imperial soju became regular customers, and Giru’s sales increased due to them.

This wasn’t the only thing.

A loan company, one of the front companies created by the Militia Commission, took the vacancy left by the usury lenders who were destroyed by the police.

Although the lending standards were strict, the loan company, which only charged interest as determined by imperial law, soon became frequented by residents of the city and nearby areas until the threshold was worn out.

In the end, the branch manager had to urgently write a letter requesting support and send it to Sinuiju.

-Please send in all the smart and calculating people you have!

-caution. They are impressive guys!

As he sent the letter, the branch manager let out a long sigh.

“Business is doing better than expected… Wow. But with these funds, the families of those who died can live without worry… Huh~”

The branch manager sighed and looked at the documents again, looking towards the south and muttering.

“I can clearly feel how great the situation and the emperor are.”

* * *

Both loan companies and alcohol suppliers were businesses created by Sejong and Hyang while the restoration was in progress.

It was the battlefield and loan companies that pushed out the usury business that was draining the blood and tears of the people, and it was the liquor supply business that transformed the alcohol that the people used to make on a whim into a systematic and legal business.

At some point, things that had become a part of daily life for the people of the empire had become a gift from heaven for the residents of the North.

* * *

Even though the night of recuperation has become more stable, there are some who do not receive this benefit.

They were related to the cherry tree.

Cherry blossoms were a product that could make more money than alcohol, but Millwi’s response was stern.

-This is an item that His Majesty has banned as it is said to be poisonous to the empire! How can we, who protect the empire and follow His Majesty’s orders, just let this happen!

According to this decision, the Milwi notified the inspection team as soon as it discovered the cherry addicts and the cherry blossom caves, and immediately killed the cherry addicts. Occasionally, when follow-up was not sufficient, the branch manager secretly visited the inspector general with a murder license and report.

“These bastards… they do things in such a way that it bothers people…”

Each time, the branch manager grumbled and moved, and the agents of the Millennium Development Committee had to be forced to move.

* * *

As the night of Liaoyang Castle stabilized, Liaoyang Castle and nearby areas also began to become lively.

The merchants who came in and out to supply alcohol to the liquor supply companies soon began releasing other products into the market as well.

As the number of shops buying and selling goods brought by the imperial merchants increased, the market became more and more lively and began to grow in size, and nearby residents also came to and from Liaoyang Castle more and more frequently than before.

As the floating population increased, restaurants and large and small bases began to be built to serve them. And in order to manage these newly created baserunners, the agents of the Mill Commission were busy.

Then one day, a field agent of the Milwi reported to the branch manager.

“Branch Manager, this is a report about a bar that opened a few days ago.”

“Are there just one or two bars?”

“Isn’t there a bar full of those guys?”

“ah? there?”

The branch manager seemed indifferent to the agent’s further explanation.

“Surely it’s not a place where homosexuality is practiced?”

“It’s not that kind of place, but everyone who works at the store is unusual.”

The branch manager’s face became serious at the agent’s words.

“Isn’t it serious? “Is it from Myeongguk?”

“no. No matter how you look at it, it looks like it’s an imperial army.”

“huh?”

After finishing the report, the agent left and the branch manager stroked his chin and muttered.

“Because it’s the military… you can’t say there’s no possibility. Hmm…”

After thinking for a moment, the branch manager took out a piece of paper and started writing a letter.

“I guess I should post the report first and then visit.”

* * *

Two days later, the branch manager visited the tavern in question with his subordinates in charge of escort.

“American wine? Are you saying you are confident in drinking? Now that I think about it, this store doesn’t have a contract with us, right?”

One of the subordinates who came with us immediately answered the branch manager’s question.

“yes. “I found out that they had reported to the military government that they also had a brewing business.”

“Hmm…”

The branch manager, who was stroking his chin, soon walked into the bar.

“welcome!”

As soon as the branch manager entered, loud voices came out from all over.

The branch manager, who paused for a moment at the loud shout, immediately sat down and looked around. The branch manager, who had been meticulously inspecting the inside of the bar, smiled bitterly.

“How can a bar feel like an army barracks? “Obviously, starting with the furniture, everything is like a bar, so it has a military feel…”

Just as he said, all the furniture in the bar was neatly organized.

The branch manager, who was looking at it, shook his head slightly and muttered to himself.

‘If it is truly a camouflage facility created by the military, there is no communication from the beginning.’
