Episode 474:
The next day.
From early morning, people crowded into the medical barracks again.
What my brother does is always the same.
Everyone scoop the water together and boil the water.
More people from the slums than before were collecting water from the well together.
Yesterday we went back and forth three times, but today we collected enough water and a lot of firewood to go back and forth twice.
They had various shapes and were dry enough to be used as firewood.
And boil the water again.
“In this day and age, boiling water is a precious resource. They sent us a lot of water and firewood, which saved us a lot of trouble, but it would still be a good idea to prepare more firewood. “It’s almost winter now.”
At dawn in Hangzhou, my breath was white.
Jin Cheon-hee gave detailed instructions to each of the escort warriors who came with him.
Cheonwoo also picked up the ax under his brother’s instructions.
Cheonwoo’s job is simple.
The task is to cut the firewood in half once more.
My older brother built a furnace with bricks in a strange shape, smeared mud on it, and then found a steel barrel to create a hole for the smoke to escape.
A furnace made in this way maintained fire for a longer period of time than an ordinary furnace, but doing so had a disadvantage.
The firewood needs to be cut into smaller pieces than usual.
‘Kwon Emperor also ordered me to cut a lot with an axe.’
Axing is good for training upper body muscles.
Additionally, if the force distribution is incorrect, the spine will go out.
King Gwon said that if you are swinging an ax and feel a dangerous feeling that it will break if you add more to your neck or back, you are swinging it in the wrong posture and should correct it yourself.
Thanks to this, Cheonwoo becomes a human firewood machine and breaks firewood at an incredible speed.
“Oh, you’re good?”
My older brother gave me a thumbs up in praise.
Seeing his brother happy made Cheonwoo proud.
How long has it been?
Just as the sun was beginning to rise, the warrior guards appeared with carriages and workers.
The smell of bitter herbs irritates my nose.
“Cheonwoo. “Would you please come here when you’re done chopping the firewood?”
“yes yes. brother!”
Jin Cheon-hee and the council members quickly classified the medicinal ingredients, and among them, the frequently used medicinal ingredients were all divided into one place.
“I’m going to use my inner energy to grind these herbs. If you are a Taechung Shingong, you will be good enough. In this case, the finer the grind, the better, so you don’t have to worry about how much you need to grind. “Make it as powdery as possible.”
“yes!”
“kind. My little brother.”
Jin Cheon-hee patted Cheon-woo on the shoulder and then went back to treating the patient.
Cheonwoo sat down and received medicinal smoke.
It is a mortar for grinding medicinal ingredients and a medicine mill.
‘Do you want to do this with Taechung Shingong?’
The medicine pots are too small compared to Cheonwoo’s body.
In particular, I was anxious about the ceramic mortar because it seemed like it would break if I applied too much force.
When I looked around, I saw the warriors of Baekrin Uigak grinding medicine with soulless eyes.
What Cheonwoo caught was a medicinal ship.
It is named so because it looks like a pear, and is used to grind medicine by rolling the wheel on top.
First, I tried it without putting any effort into it.
Druk –
It wasn’t ground to the extent that the wheel rolled once.
This time, I carefully put in the Taechung shingong and grind it.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrng
_
But there are so many things to pay attention to that I already feel like my shoulder muscles are getting sore.
‘My brother said that. If you exhaust and replenish your internal energy to the limit, and then pour it out and refill it again, your dantian and eight vital forces will inevitably be trained.’
However, since I have the shaman’s Taecheong Shingong, which uses yin and yang, I must use yin and yang energy evenly.
‘This… has no choice but to become training.’
Has my brother been training himself like this?
Does it mean that the act of saving someone’s life can also be disciplined through martial arts?
It was amazing.
* * *
Cheonwoo finely ground the herbs, and the doctors dried them, made them into decoctions, or gave them to patients.
Since I am not a doctor, I cannot know which herb has what effect, but I felt like I knew how much Taechung Shin-gong should be used to finely grind the herb.
‘Just because you use a lot of internal power doesn’t mean you will become better at it. this.’
Efficient release was important.
Sweat drips from Cheonwoo’s forehead
.
However, as he concentrated, he even forgot about that and focused only on how to unleash the Taicheong Shingong.
Then he suddenly realized that someone was holding his shoulders.
“Let’s eat.”
It was my brother.
“Oh bro. “How long have you been here?”
“I just arrived. “I was concentrating, so I was waiting until there was a break in the flow.”
“okay.”
Only then does Cheonwoo take his hand off the medicine pot.
At that moment, both arms started shaking and did not move at all.
“Huh… gasp!”
A round pill popped into Cheonwoo’s mouth as he was breathing heavily.
“Chew and swallow.”
At my brother’s words, I forced saliva into my mouth, chewed the pill, and swallowed it as soon as it turned into porridge.
It was so bitter that the puke came out.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“Is this the first time you have unleashed your inner power repeatedly for such a long time?”
“yes.”
“are you okay. I did well for my first time. I cooked a meal for you, so you can wake up and eat it as soon as you recover. “Let’s have a fortune-telling breakfast first.”
Cheonwoo forced himself to sit cross-legged with his trembling legs and gave his strength to Cheonwoo.
There was only one bet left in the empty danjeon.
In addition, since it was not a sacred mountain, Mt. Wudang, the speed at which internal power was accumulated was extremely slow.
Why on earth do people waste their energy and replenish it again and again in a place like this?
When I opened my eyes after finishing breakfast, my brother was still there looking at Cheonwoo.
It was completely night.
“Isn’t your strength accumulated well?”
“Taj is always like that.”
“okay. But there is no need to accept pure deceit from a good mountain. “Just as potatoes are tolerant of rainwater, having too little is more helpful for growth than having too much.”
“…?”
“okay. It won’t be easy to understand in words. are you okay. “You just have to realize it with your body.”
Jin Cheon-hee patted Cheon-woo on the back.
At that time, Cheonwoo’s stomach growled without notice.
The older brother said while looking at his younger brother who was blushing.
“Let’s eat. It’s late, but the original fried chicken is delicious even when reheated. No, let’s cut it into pieces, coat it with egg, and eat it like a rice bowl. “Chicken and egg soboro rice bowl!”
I don’t know what it is, but I thought it must be delicious.

Hangzhou is the capital of Zhejiang Province, so it has a large population.
However, from the perspective of Jin Cheon-hee, who worked as a doctor in South Korea, it was not that big of a deal.
According to what I found out before coming here, Hangzhou’s population is approximately 500,000 people.
Based on my previous life, this would be the size of a small to medium-sized city.
Seoul has a population of 10 million, and Busan, the second most populous city in Korea, has about 5 million.
Hangju is the same place as Busan in Korea, and its population is probably one-tenth of Busan’s.
Of course, this is only the registered population.
Considering the floating population that moves for tourism or commerce and the population that has not been identified by government offices, the number may be higher.
First of all, I thought that about half of them would be poor enough to not even go to a medical clinic and receive treatment.
The other half is comprised of the majority of people who have decent homes and secure jobs to live off of, and who earn enough to live on (of course, they are by no means wealthy), the middle class who use them as employees, and the rich who play for a living.
Like the children who followed Sima Xuan, Sima Hui, and Sima Xuan in the past, there will be many more children whose births cannot even be registered at the government office.
The children would rather get opium than see a doctor. Because opium is cheaper than you think.
‘Even if you do simple calculations, if you treat 100 people a day for 100 days, that’s only 10,000 people. ‘One hundred days is roughly three months.’
After calculating the amount of money it would cost, I decided to just quit.
‘In the first place, charity work is pouring water into a bottomless pit.’
So I decided to develop my idea a little further.
Although half of the population cannot receive proper treatment, the number of people with diseases that actually require treatment is decreasing again.
It is impossible to properly determine the population of this martial planet, which has no communication, recording devices, or proper statistics.
However, if we estimate from the statistical data that Baekrin Uigak has produced so far, at least 15% of people are suffering from major or minor illnesses but cannot receive treatment.
in other words.
Jin Cheon-hee’s prediction is that out of 250,000 people, about 37,500 will be patients…
Of course, since I did not learn proper statistics and it is just a messy hypothetical inference, the error will be large.
Even so, even with a simple rough calculation, it would take almost a year to treat them.
If it is a mild illness, it can still be treated, but if there is a patient with a serious illness, the period will continue to increase.
‘Is this the realm of welfare?’
That’s what politicians do.
So, how far can a Uigak do?
‘Charity work is quite important. In order to protect their image as a Uigak that joined hands with political factions, Hwaju-gak occasionally treated the poor and built relationships with local magnates based on that reputation.’
In a Confucian society, justification is very important.
Isn’t this the world that slaughters people today, but hopes that tomorrow they will follow the way of the gentleman?
‘Baekrin’s angle can be done in the same way as Hwaju’s angle. But I don’t want to end up just showing off how much money I’m spending.’
The shipper’s method is to spend the money as it is paid and everything goes back to normal the next week.
You may gain more popularity due to the fall, but reality does not change.
If I already spend the manpower and money, I want to be of practical help.
‘What would happen if Baeklin’s medical staff were stationed for a certain period of time and allowed to treat patients consistently throughout the day?’
It doesn’t have to be at the level of treating a serious illness.
A member of the lower house of the House of Representatives can treat the disease and send anything that cannot be done on his own to the Bunta where the upper house member is located.
In fact, members of the House of Representatives do not have many opportunities for practical training.
People in Sedoga expect their tops to do even simple dressing.
The patient Yuho kicked out in the past is by no means rare.
I want something special that goes beyond the bandages of the House of Representatives and the House of Representatives, but there is nothing like that.
Same bandage.
As a result, there are naturally fewer opportunities for the House of Representatives and the House of Representatives to step forward.
‘Besides, it’s a bit hard to say it myself, but the members of the White House’s House of Representatives surpass the level of the upper house members of other councils.’
