Black Corporation: Joseon - Chapter 524
Episode 524 Rolling, rolling… (5)
Wan’s story was conveyed directly to Hyang through the inner office.
After hearing the story, Hyang looked embarrassed and muttered.
“It’s hard for me to give any advice on this… If it were the opposite case, I could give it…” In the opposite case,
that is, a case similar to what Hyang experienced in the 21st century – a case where the child wants to be good but the parents are against it. Hyang was confident that he could give good advice.
“Just strike a balance! Just balance!”
However, the situation facing Wan now was quite the opposite. Hyang, who was dealing with a difficult situation where a true solution could not be easily found, burst into laughter as if it was fun.
“Now that I think about it… Jinpyeong suffered a fatal accident at the same place, and Anpyeong suffered a fatal accident at the Jaein group’s performance, but there weren’t many cases like that with the children, right?”
* * *
The exhibition hall that was built in the Eastern Palace and then moved to the research institute was still a place of pilgrimage for young royals. King Sejong’s young princes and governors, as well as the children born to Hyang and the children born to princes and governors, always passed through that place when they reached a certain age.
The same was true for Jaein’s performance. Through touring performances conducted by the General Entertainment Office, the Jain troupes and singers who were evaluated as the most excellent were invited to perform at royal banquets and holiday banquets.
To be invited and perform like this was a great honor for the members and members of the group. Just by being elected like this and performing in front of the king, the amount of money received from the next performance immediately changed.
What was interesting was that there were not many children who suffered accidents while touring the exhibition hall and watching the performance. Of course, the eldest sons of Jinpyeong and Anpyeong suffered Deoktong accidents right away, perhaps due to their father’s influence, but many children suffered Deoktong accidents while observing military training, rather than in the exhibition hall or performances of the Jaein group.
Or, you could have a pain accident while solving a formula in a lab, or a pain accident while treating a bruise in an internal medicine clinic.
Hyang, who was hesitating, soon reflected on his mistake.
“If you think about it, it’s my fault for making all kinds of excuses and being rude, but…”
It was Hyang who readily acknowledged that it was his fault.
* * *
The biggest benefit that Hyang gained while reincarnated was that he was the king’s eldest son. Thanks to this, he was able to do whatever he wanted as long as he achieved the level of academic achievement that King Sejong and his subjects wanted.
“Suffering for that academic achievement? “It’s funny to think about my school days separated by 12 years in the 21st century!”
Since most of the things that Hyang created brought great profits, it wasn’t long before King Sejong was able to receive full support.
“The situation was good…”
It was the luck of a lifetime for Hyang to be able to work with Lee Sun-ji, a genius who knew about industry and academia, and Jang Yeong-sil, who could be considered the best in Joseon when it came to making things.
“If it’s on the same level as inventions from the Renaissance era, or even the 19th century, it’s possible with my math skills. But if there is someone who is better, of course we should use it! The same goes for production! “People must live comfortably!”
It was a scent that had already been enjoyed in a similar way in the 21st century.
When I was in high school and submitted works to various contests, I came up with the scent idea and left the numerical calculations and production to my friends in the science department.
“I’m a liberal arts major. “Can I pay the bill?”
“I’m good at speaking. I mean…”
“Because it’s a liberal arts department!”
“Shit!”
As a side note, the reincarnation of incense was also a blessing for Joseon craftsmen during this period. They were craftsmen who disappeared without even leaving a name due to the Joseon Dynasty’s trend of despising everything except Confucianism. It was entirely thanks to Hyang that Joseon’s technologies and craftsmen, who were destined to decline as outstanding technologies, including Gap-in-ja, disappeared, were able to soar with wings.
* * *
“Anyway, I guess I should call him and say something. If you make a mistake, it will be ‘crooked!’ “Because it’s difficult to do this.”
After sorting out the situation, Hyang immediately called Wan through the inner office.
“Did you call me?”
“Yes, I heard the story. Are you okay?”
In response to Hyang’s question, Wan raised his head and looked at the scent. Wan’s eyes, looking at the incense, were filled with all kinds of emotions and thoughts.
When Hyang saw Wan’s face like that, he glanced away and cleared his throat.
“greatness! “Keuhum!”
Hyang cleared his throat and continued speaking.
“I think it’s because my influence still remains in the lab and Area 51. After just a little more, it will turn into your color. “From what I heard, I heard that your ability to handle tasks is excellent, so it would be okay to use that as your color.”
Wan, who was nodding at Hyang’s words, soon raised a counterargument.
“But I am your child. “If you get a good evaluation based solely on your work ability, that’s only half the story.”
“so? “What do you want to do?”
Wan answered Hyang’s question with an embarrassed expression.
“I also want to create something outstanding… but I don’t know what to do.”
After thinking carefully about Wan’s words, Hyang found the answer and gave it to him.
“Read the challenge log and response log. The answer will be there.”
Wan expressed dissatisfaction with Hyang’s words.
“The Dojeonrok and Response Log are already written down the thoughts of many people, including my father. Isn’t it all mine? “You won’t be evaluated properly.”
“You are mistaken.”
Hyang explained that Wan’s thinking was wrong.
“What you are saying now is like someone who has not even learned the Thousand Characters and Hunminjeongeum and is trying to discuss the Four Books and Three Classics.”
Wan blushed and bowed his head at Hyang’s simple and clear point.
“Soja’s thoughts were short-lived!”
“First, start by properly reading the challenge record and response record and checking the actual facts. If you go through the process properly, you will find out what you really want to create.”
“Yes, father. “I will keep in mind the teachings that are like gold and jade birds.”
“Good luck.”
As Wan bowed and left, Hyang muttered softly.
“I wonder what will pop out. There is a possibility of failure, but…”
* * *
Following Hyang’s advice, Wan carefully read the challenge log and response log and began to carefully observe the objects that were actually being tested.
When Wan started showing interest like this, the person he liked the most was Jinpyeong.
“I am truly relieved that I am finally working properly! ha ha ha!”
Wan responded to Jinpyeong’s words by bowing his head.
“Please help me a lot, uncle!”
“Cancer! Cancer! I have to do my best when my three sons ask for it! Don’t worry! ha ha ha!”
Jinpyeong was smiling brightly and patting Wan on the shoulder.
And after hearing the story, Hyang felt a headache.
“Wasn’t that really a dog’s dream? No matter what happens, I have to drag it with me when I move.”
* * *
As Wan became absorbed in the work of the lab and Area 51, he quickly became addicted.
“Is this fun?”
After having fun, Wan stayed and worked at the research lab and Area 51.
Thanks to this, the hardships were opened to the officials in charge of administrative work.
“The crown prince was at least home from work…”
The officials were in tears as they saw Wan working, even bringing a bedding to his laboratory office.
In the end, I cleaned up this part because it smelled good.
-Unnecessary overtime work is not permitted except for the general manager of the research institute and Area 51.
* * *
As he became more of a fan, Wan made a good friend.
“Oh Chief Cho! “Please explain this to me!”
“Yes sir!”
Chief Cho approached Wan’s call and began to explain in detail the object that Wan was pointing at.
Director Cho, who explained to Wan, was Jang Yeong-sil’s student.
When leaving for Shinji, Jang Yeong-sil left a disciple in Area 51.
“I will follow you, Master!”
“You have a lot to do here.”
“Well, if it’s not me, who else can support Master…”
“My arms and legs are still fine!”
On the ship leaving for Shinji, leaving his disciple behind, Jang Yeong-sil muttered softly.
“You have to live…”
Shinji was just starting out in Area 51, and the person in charge was Sejong, who was famous for making people do a lot of work as much as Hyang.
That is why Jang Yeong-sil left behind a disciple.
As a result, Director Cho Man-bok, who remained at the institute, became Wan’s dedicated tutor.
This was because among the craftsmen with proven skills, Manbok was the youngest.
* * *
“Hmm….” Wan,
who was glaring at Jeon Jeon-rok and Eung Jeon-rok in his office, let out a groan without realizing it.
“This isn’t easy… ugh…”
Wan, who continued to moan, organized the situation.
-Choosing one of the ones in the existing challenge log is impossible at your current level.
-For the same reason, it is impossible to select an appropriate one among those in the response log and improve it.
-The same goes for touching the theories being studied at the research institute.
-Conclusion It is easiest to advance into a completely new field. Even if you fail, if the results are somewhat satisfactory, registration in the challenge record becomes possible.
“And I can flatten the noses of those who compare me to my father!”
After summarizing the situation like that, Wan came to a conclusion.
“Let’s create something new!”
Having made up his mind, Wan looked around and soon became angry.
“Oh my father! “What on earth did you not touch?”
The land and sea were already filled with things created by incense.
“What on earth should I do…”
Feeling frustrated at the lack of answers, Wan looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh.
“Ha~. “Huh… huh?”
Wan, who was sighing while looking at the sky, froze. Wan, who was staring blankly at the sky, soon began to have a big smile on his face.
“Yes! “It’s heaven!”
After finding his direction, Wan ran straight to the East Palace.
“father! “I finally found it!” Hyang asked with a mixture of joy and curiosity at Wan’s words.
“okay? Thank goodness! So what was it?”
“Little one, you will fly in the sky!”
“huh?”
Hyang paused for a moment at Wan’s words, but soon responded with a serious face.
“That’s a really good idea. Give it a try. However, there is a condition. If you are going to carry out an experiment with people, you should never board it! This is an order!”
“yes? yes? yes.”
Wan, who was momentarily taken aback by Hyang’s firm command, which he had heard for the first time in his life, immediately responded.
“Mark my words. “Do your best.”
“Thank you!”
There was an order in the middle that he didn’t understand, but Wan got the Hyang’s permission and left Seunghwadang excited.
After sending Wan away, Hyang muttered with a distraught look on her face.
“Does this seem like it’s going to fly in the wrong direction? is not it?”
Hyang, who knew of Wan’s troubles through the eunuchs assisting Wan and Jeong In-ji and Lee Cheon, made a perplexed face and muttered.
“I can understand how parents in the 21st century must have felt, as well as Abama and Eumamama now.”
* * *
Meanwhile, Wan, who returned to Area 51 excitedly, called Director Cho.
“Hey Chief Cho! Chief Cho!”
“Yes sir! “What’s going on?”
“I finally got permission!”
Director Cho was well aware of the worries that had been causing Wan’s heartache. Therefore, he sincerely congratulated him and at the same time became curious.
“We are giving you a reduction! So what are you going to do?”
“It will fly! “I need you to help me!”
“yes?”
For a moment, Chief Cho froze.
