Chapter 605

Episode 605: Opening of Heaven – Controversy over the

introduction of the law (8) The four people who had accepted the law book that Hyang had concluded disappeared with a smile, and soon after, Du and Seul came to Hyang.

“What’s going on?”

Hyang, who asked why he had come to see her, looked at the law book in Du and Seul’s hands and sighed.

“Whoa~. “Bring it with you.”

“yep!”

As soon as Hyang gave permission, Du and Seul quickly unfolded the cover of the law book and held it out.

When the incense soaked in the ink was applied to the gold pen to collect it, Du and Seul quickly added a condition.

“ah! father! “Not there, but a little down... yes, it is there.”

Hyang, who had performed the wedding ceremony at the location designated by Du and Seul, asked his two sons.

“Why there?”

“It’s because I have to receive Halbamama’s punishment. “Now, after the wedding, you will become a complete family and become independent. Wouldn’t you like to have at least one heirloom of your own?”

“Haa~....”

Hyang sighed briefly and gave an order to Du and Seul.

“Tell your younger brothers and sisters who need it to come right away. “It’s just for today.”

“yep!”

After seeing the two excitedly disappearing, Hyang muttered softly.

“I wonder whose child it is...”

Soon, the children of the village, holding the law book in their hands, came rushing in.

* * *

The story of the Gang of Four and the children of Hyang immediately reached the ears of the ministers. After hearing the story, Hwang Hee looked at Kim Jeom and opened her mouth.

“It certainly seems like young people these days are quick on their feet.”

Kim Jeom nodded at Hwang Hee’s words.

Although they didn’t say it, Hwang Hee and the other old gods also had the same thought. But they could not easily put it into practice.

“I have some face...”

“I wonder if this will end up being talked about later...”

While the older officials were hesitant, the young people took bold action.

“If I were 10 years younger, I might have been like that.”

“exactly? “Would you like some medicine?”

“Take my medicine first.”

As the conversation, a mixture of jokes and seriousness, continued, an emissary came into the conference room.

After politely bowing, the eunuch immediately opened his mouth.

“Your Majesty told me to tell you this. ‘Today.’”

Woodang soup!

As soon as the internal affairs officer finished speaking, the ministers and vice ministers sitting in the conference room all left their seats and rushed out.

Ministers and deputy ministers burst out of the conference room and sprinted towards their offices.

But only four were exceptions. The four exceptions were Hwang Hee, Kim Jeom, Kim Jong-seo, and Hwang Bo-in.

The four were running toward Geunjeongjeon with Hwang Hee at the head.

After running at full speed, the four people arrived at Geunjeongjeon and told the eunuch to inform them of their arrival. While taking a breath while waiting for the eunuch to return, Kim Jeom asked Hwang Hee.

“Gasp! Great job! Since when did I start gasping? “Have you been preparing?”

“I’ve been preparing since the limited edition story came out. “I think I will be able to enter the workforce again at least when my great-grandchildren are born, but since I don’t have any assets, I will have to hand over at least one heirloom.”

“Ah...”

Kim Jeom, Kim Jong-seo, and Hwang Bo-in nodded at Hwang Hee’s answer.

* * *

Hwang Hee’s children, Hwang Chi-sin and Hwang Bo-sin, were found to have embezzled compensation paid to landowners who had suffered damage from contaminated water flowing from the mine, and all their property was confiscated and they were sentenced to 10 years of hard labor.

Hwang Hee, who was involved in a corruption case committed by her sons and an assault committed by her son-in-law, had to make a choice.

-Confiscated half of all property and served as recorder until death. However, the remaining half of the property can be passed on to your children.

“If it’s such a big slope, you’ll get a discount at the sales office, right?”

“Maybe so?”

After hearing the nobleman’s answer, the farmer bowed his head with a bright face.

“Thank you so much for explaining!”

One of the noblemen, who saw the farmer disappearing excitedly, looked displeased and grumbled.

“You’re like an idiot who doesn’t even know what’s important! “Get that right now!”

“Be patient and be patient.”

The person who complained seemed like he was going to complain at any moment, so another nobleman next to him stopped him.

“Anyway, the war against the Ming has been won, and the promulgation of the First Law has come to an end. Of course, isn’t it a situation where there is no one who doesn’t know that the opening ceremony of Cheoncheon will be followed by the Qingjegeonwon ceremony? Of course, there is also the issue of weddings. Given the circumstances, isn’t it natural for the people’s attention to be focused on the monopoly?”

“Eng!”

“ha ha ha! The best way to calm a boiling stomach is with a glass of alcohol and a game of baduk. Let’s go to the entertainment venue! Buy me a drink!”

At those words, the nobleman, who had been unable to control his anger until a moment ago, was dragged away, pretending not to be able to resist.

* * *

Meanwhile, Gyeongbokgung Palace was also busy preparing for the ceremony announcing the opening of the river.

“No matter what I do, it won’t decrease!”

“Where am I? “A recorder, really?”

The sound of music flowed from all the government offices along Yukjo Street every day.

Not surprisingly, they had more than one task to deal with at the same time.

-Work related to the newly acquired river areas, Liaodong, Liaohe, and Dongban (the old name of Taiwan).

– Changes in administrative organization and appointment of key managers for transformation into an empire

– Inspection of new land development plan to be delivered to King Sejong, who will soon return to new land.

-Preparation for the ancestral rite for the opening of the river and the Qingjegeonwon

-Preparation for the presiding officer to continue as soon as the rite is over.

– Preparation for the wedding of the three sons and their brothers.

In terms of difficulty alone, the last three were nothing special compared to the first three.

“Anyway, I was going to do the royal ceremony, I was going to have a wedding, and I was going to be crowned.”

Since the final goal of Gyeongjang was Qingjegeonwon, preparations had been made steadily. Rather, thanks to the victory in the war against the Ming, there was less to worry about.

The same was true for the wedding of Seson and his brothers.

Except for the fact that it was carried out only a few days apart, there was nothing difficult about it because it was a matter of following the rules that had been established for a long time.

There were no worries about the seniority issue either.

It was not a political maneuver like during the reign of King Taejong, but an inevitable problem that arose as new land developments overlapped. In particular, since Hyang had continued to conduct proxy cleaning, there were almost no problems with the handover.

However, the previous three problems caused the all-night shift to continue.

The problem was not simply drawing a new border, but also dealing with the residents living in the area, especially the Han Chinese who had immigrated from the central plains. Dongbeon was not a big problem, but the number of Koreans who immigrated to the Liaoxi and Liaodong regions was significant, and there were quite a few who were not happy with Joseon’s rule.

“It’s okay to just leave it alone, but it’s even more problematic to kill them all...”

In the end, Hyang, who was looking for the most appropriate solution, had no choice but to come to a conclusion.

“Let’s expel. “I think that would be best.”

All the ministers nodded at Hyang’s decision.

Thanks to this, all the Ming people who came to Liaoxi and Liaodong had to pack their bags. And naturally, confusion arose in this process.

Even those who packed their bags in silence and those who naturalized to become citizens of Joseon did not pose much of a problem.

Those who accepted the deportation order, packed their bags, and moved safely to the border under the escort of the Joseon military.

Those who became naturalized also worked hard to adapt by receiving Joseon’s family register and identity badge.

However, those who would neither naturalize nor leave caused trouble.

“No matter what anyone says, this is a land of great nations! We are the people of Ming!”

“Let’s drive out the Koreans!”

“Wow!”

As people used force, bloodshed broke out.

However, because the difference in military power with the Joseon army was so great, all of their uprisings failed, leaving behind many victims.
