Top of the Stream (4)
"What do you mean by a councillor?"
"The treatment of the Mujin Bronze was a method that did not exist on the continent before. I'm sure there are monks and mothers on the continent. And there will be patients like me who can't be cured by the existing clinics. I want to open a clinic that treats such patients with the treatment of Mujin-dong."
This was my intuition as a merchant.
Immediately after receiving Mujin's treatment, Radiant Heat Treatment, and Brain Qi. Liu Zhiguang was convinced. The conviction that "this is a good business"
What's more, Liu Zhiguang had the connections that he had as the top lord of the Tianhao Grand Brigade. Connections with grand viziers and local wealthy people.
Many of the grand viziers and wealthy men were elderly, and there were many who complained of their mothers and similar symptoms.
If you introduce them to Mujin and proceed with the treatment, you will be able to make a huge profit.
Of course, it could have been risky to proceed with such a business just because he had only received his first treatment today.
If the treatment was ineffective, it was easy to defraud the magnates and wealthy people.
Nonetheless, the reason why Liu Jiguang wants to push ahead with this project strongly is that it is important to understand.
That's in addition to the merchant's intuition.
"The recent movement of the local divisions is disturbing."
It was for the safety of his family.
Myself, my mother, Or when someone in your family is in danger. Liu Zhiguang's choice for the hill of Beeville is Shaolin· To be precise, it was a shingle ·
The absurdity of the radiance that he had shown during the treatment a while ago had a great influence on Liu Zhiguang's decision.
The Heavenly Stream Upper was a colossus that became a colossus through the transportation business of transporting countless items across the continent.
Therefore, the top of the heavenly stream was both the top and the shape of the top of the stream. Naturally, a large number of masters were employed to handle the countless climbs, and the number of masters was also considerable.
Despite being such a top lord of the Heavenly Stream, Liu Zhiguang had never seen anyone perform such a miracle that Xuanguang had shown.
That's why at first I thought I'd approach Hyunkwang, but...
'He was like a specimen of a virtuous monk who had cut himself off from the world.'
Liu Jiguang, who had not seen Hyunkwang enjoying alcohol and meat, came to the conclusion that approaching Hyunkwang with wealth was the worst way to go.
Thus, Liu Jiguang is a member of Hyunguang's cherished Mujin· And he wanted to continue his connection with Shaolin Temple through Mujin. By doing business together·
However, whether it was unfortunate or fortunate, Chu Bo Tangzhu Wise only half understood Liu Zhiguang's intentions.
"Your Excellency has offered you a considerable amount of money for Mujin's treatment. So I feel that the lawmaker who wants to open it in Dengbong County also means that he wants to open a clinic only for the rich. Amitabha Buddha·"
As long as he was a merchant who wanted to do business with the rich.
"I'm going to give half of the profits from the clinic to Shaolin..."
"As I have said before, our Shaolin does not do business by the power of disciples."
"I don't know why you think it's a business. Wouldn't it be better to use half of the profits from the clinic to relieve the poor in Shaolin again?"
"If we only treat the rich to make money, the world will point fingers at us."
“····”
Liu Zhiguang didn't show it outwardly, but he sighed in frustration inside.
If the other beggars, the other factions or the five major groups, had made such a proposal in the same place, they would have accepted it as "right."
No, it would be a good thing if they accepted it, and some of the Mun factions and Sega, who only pretended to be political parties, would have tried to extort more money from them and threatened them like a villain.
"I don't have to worry about losing money, but it's frustrating because I can't communicate with you."
When Liu Zhiguang was thinking about it in his heart... Mujin opened his mouth cautiously.
"Do you mind if the monk may say a word?"
"Tell me..."
When Wise's permission was granted, Mujin asked Wiseman a question again.
"According to Monk Chu Bodang, isn't the biggest problem with opening a clinic now that our Shaolin only treats the 'rich' in order to make money?"
"Ahem· Yes..."
"Then why don't we treat everyone without differentiating between rich and poor? As a Buddhist, how can it be a matter of being fingered to heal sentient beings by giving them medicine?"
Mu Jin's words made Liu Zhiguang's stomach even more frustrated.
In order not to distinguish between the rich and the poor, the cost of medical treatment had to be slashed enormously. It was said that if you brought in the magnates and wealthy people, there would be little profit.
However, an unexpected story came out of Mujin's mouth.
"Of course, if you set the cost of treatment high, the poor will not be able to receive treatment, and if you set it low, you will not get a profit, so you will lose the upper echelon. And no matter how low the price is, the poor, who are busy eating and living for a day, will not be able to receive medical treatment in the end. So how about this? It is to divide the treatment facility into two."
"Split in two?"
Intuitively, he thought that there would be some kind of mysterious solution, so Liu Zhiguang asked, and Mujin lived up to his expectations.
"Yes· One is completely free of charge. And the other is to be used as a treatment facility for the rich, as the Heavenly Stream had hoped."
"Rich people are not fools. Mujinja· Why would the rich use expensive medical treatment facilities when they can use them for free?"
"You just have to make a difference between the two facilities. The equipment in the facility will be the same, but the free facilities will provide group treatment, and the high-cost facilities will provide the best possible care to a single patient by appointment only."
The way Mujin came up with it· It was a reference to the way large fitness centers operated.
Instead of providing free access to the gym at a low price, you have to pay a high fee for PT classes to be professionally taught by a trainer.
There were two main reasons why Mujin came up with this method and got involved in the conversation. One is that he dares to give money to Shaolin, but he is frustrated with the owner who refuses.
And the other thing is that the top of the sky is currently associated with the black curtain. Or because it was going to be involved in the future.
It was Mujin who decided to work together and delve deeper into the inner workings of the Tianyu Upper Stream.
So Mu Jin added something explicit that would have been frowned upon by a wise man.
"As you know, the rich love luxuries. I dare to leave a car that I can buy at the same day, and I drink tea that boasts the price of a hermit or a golden child. Of course, it's partly because it smells better than cheap tea, but there's definitely vanity in it as well."
"Hahahahaha· I see what you mean. Mujinja· The free facilities used by groups and the facilities used by appointment only. The difference will make the rich use the facility even more!"
Mu Jin's logic was something that Liu Zhiguang had already experienced so many times, so Liu Zhiguang laughed with a satisfied expression.
Of course, from Wise's point of view, it was uncomfortable to hear.
"You're a god! Why would a Shaolin disciple use the vanity of the world in his mouth and use the vanity of others to take money?"
However, at the outcry, Mujin looked at Wise Wisdom with a look of wonder what was wrong.
"What on earth is Monk Chu Bo Tangzhu so afraid of?"
"What!?"
"When I said that I would make money by treating the rich and give it to the poor, Shaolin was afraid that he would go crazy with money and be accused of treating the rich. So this time, when I told him that he was going to treat the poor together, he said that he was trying to take advantage of the rich. Are you so afraid of Shaolin being fingered?"
"How dare you scorn Shaolin now!!"
Even in front of the guest Liu Zhiguang, Wise Man couldn't hold back his anger and yelled, but he couldn't stop Mu Jin's mouth.
"Is that really the will of the progenitor, the Dharma Master and the Buddha Buddha? The Buddhist scriptures clearly speak of mercy for sentient beings, but why do we Shaolin hide in the mountains for fear of being fingered? I'm sorry to say, but I'm more afraid of turning away from sentient beings for fear of being fingered than of being fingered like that."
And with Mujin's words that followed, Wise Wise's face looked as if he had been hit hard.
Of course, Mujin didn't have great ambitions for Buddhism or compassion for sentient beings. This is also useless. That's not good either. I was frustrated with the wise man who was just refusing unconditionally, so I was talking about it as much as I could.
Just like now.
"Far to the west, beyond the Tianchu, is the country of the Colored People. When a prefectural lord there made a fortune by exploiting sentient beings with harsh taxes, the prefectural lord's second wife tried to dissuade the prefectural spirit."
The people who had never heard of it before, and everyone who was present in the hall of Chu Bo Zhu Zhu focused on Mu Jin's story with strange expressions.
"But the prefectural governor laughed at her and promised, 'If you come naked on horseback and around the county, I will give you a tax exemption at that time.' What do you think she would have done?"
“··· Could it be that she was naked on a horse?"
"Yes· The woman rode naked around the prefecture on horseback, according to the prefectural ordinance's conditions, and the prefectural governor eventually reduced the taxes of the prefectural residents as promised. Would you point your finger at her and curse her?"
"Ahem· How could you look at me and say so! But even if I didn't, I'm sure someone would insult her."
Mujin shook his head at Wiseman's answer.
"Living in this world does not make sentient beings fools. Chu Bo Tang Monk· It is said that all the people who lived in the county understood her deep will and mercy, and while she was going around the county, everyone did not dare to go inside the house and look at her."
Just one· Someone had been spying on her. A person who has become synonymous with the disease of voyeurism in modern times.
But Mujin didn't have to tell him the truth.
"Even if some people point fingers at them, sentient beings will realize the mercy of Shaolin. And if you don't realize it, what about it? After all, isn't it important that our Shaolin is trying to save sentient beings?"
At Mujin's question, Jihye and Hyemin closed their eyes for a moment and chanted the Buddha.
After a while· When they opened their eyes, their eyes were clearer, as if they had cast off their anguish.
"Phew· Upper Liquor Liquor· Half of the money earned will be used by Shaolin for the salvation of sentient beings, and we will agree to open a clinic together on the premise that we will have a free treatment facility in the clinic. However, this is not something that requires the permission of the head monk. I'll talk to the head monk first, and then I'll decide the details with the priest."
"I am grateful for your decision. I'm going to go to Shaolin for my mother and myself in the future, so if I have any decisions, I think you can contact me then."
Liu Zhiguang greeted him with Po Kwon, and Ji Hye replied as the prefect.

That evening·
While Mujin is sparring in front of Hyekwan · The Shaolin Chamberlain's Chief, Ambassador Xuan, came to visit Xiaunguang.
Ambassador Hyuncheon had heard all the events that had happened in the Chubo Hall from the wise man, and the reason why he had come to Hyunkwang was to tell him about it.
"After all... Mu Jin was the child who would change our Shaolin in the right direction. The Great Brother·"
When he heard about it from Wise Wisdom, he felt like he had been hit in the head as well.
The only thing that puzzled me was how on earth did Mujin know about the ancient history of such people of color?
"Hehehe... If you do it, Mu Jin will earn a hundred gold in Shaolin, and he will make a lot of money in the future. Monk Chief·"
"Yes· Large-Brother· Shaolin will take the lead in saving sentient beings through the money earned by Mujin in the future."
"Hehehehehe..."
At Ambassador Hyuncheon's words, Hyunguang burst out laughing and looked directly at Hyuncheon.
"If you do it, shouldn't you give Mu Jin a reward? I've made a lot of money to be used for the salvation of sentient beings."
"What if it's a prize..."
At Hyuncheon's question, Hyunkwang lifted the bottle in his hand, choked his throat, and opened his mouth.
"Why don't you give them a great reunion? Monk Chief·"
"What do you mean by that? The Great Brother·"
"Thanks to Mu Jin, a lot of money came to Shaolin, right? Isn't it possible to give away as much as you want?"
Hyunkwang's words made Hyuncheon feel dizzy.
"When the Great Brother failed in his attainment of Nirvana and became strange, was that true!"
Come to think of it, a strange scent had been tickling his nose for a long time.
"Ambassador!? Could it be that the bottle is ...?"
Hyuncheon asked in surprise, and Hyunkwang replied with a strange smile.
"What's so important about this bottle? Hehehe· If you don't feel overwhelmed, at least summon a summoning group."
“····”
Hyunten thought·
The one in front of him might be a green forest in the guise of sparkling.
