Chapter 647

Episode 647: Hillbillies come to Seoul. (3)

Although there was a lot of commotion, the professors were able to leave the waiting room on time without any problems. This was because no patients actually showed up.

The steps of the professors leaving the waiting room were full of energy.

“There is more than one thing to look into and discuss!”

“That’s right!”

Regardless of their major, all professors were full of enthusiasm.

Interestingly enough, those who showed the most enthusiasm were medical professors.

The medical professors who spoke with the imperial lawmakers who had flocked there due to the commotion on the first night of the waiting room were deeply impressed by the imperial lawmakers’ deep medical knowledge and public health policies.

-You never know when the Black Death will spread again, and a contagious disease as dangerous as the Black Death could break out! In order to come up with measures to deal with this, we need to watch and learn from what the empire is doing!

-You must learn imperial surgical medicine!

Surgery was an area where even European medical professors keenly felt vulnerable.

As the Roman Empire collapsed, much of its intellectual heritage was lost, but one of the areas that suffered the most was surgery.

It was so bad that European medical professors even complained like this.

-Slaughterers who have worked at a slaughterhouse for 10 years will be more competent than surgeons who have worked for 30 years!

-Is there even a surgeon?

And the painful truth was that the complaints were real.

However, seeing the skills of the well-wishers on board the ship coming to the empire and the skills of the lawmakers in charge of the waiting area, the medical professors were so impressed that their eyes brightened.

“All of this is the result of policies advocated and implemented by His Majesty the current Emperor even before he ascended to the throne.”

After hearing the lawmakers’ answers, the medical professors strengthened their resolve.

-I will definitely have an audience with the emperor and receive his teachings!

After passing customs at Mokpo Trade Port, the professor and his group entered Mokpo Station.

The professors who lined up on the platform to board the iron horse looked around while their hearts pounded.

“Am I finally riding the iron horse I’ve only heard about?”

“I was treated like a hillbilly by the ignorant sailors, but I’m finally riding it!”

This was also true.

Sailors from other countries who arrived at the trade port could not leave Mokpo, but they could roam around downtown Mokpo as much as they wanted. Because of this, they were able to watch the iron horses coming and going from Mokpo Station. In addition, the biggest customers of the circular iron horse that ran in downtown Mokpo were their sailors.

The sailors who had seen and ridden the iron horse were busy bragging about their experiences back home.

This was because I got a lot of free alcohol every time I told an experience that was a mix of 30% truth and 70% exaggeration.

Byeeek!

As the loud sound of the whistle was heard, the station employee in charge of platform safety put a whistle in his mouth and started waving a flag.

Beep! Beep!

“Step back! “Get back!”

Station workers waved flags, blew whistles, and shouted at the top of their lungs as they saw the professors getting closer and closer to the railroad tracks. Then the interpreters accompanying him shouted the same words in Latin. However, the whistles and shouts did not reach the ears of the professors who were preoccupied with the iron horse.

“You shit! “You’re so excited to see someone lose their job!”

In the end, the station employees kicked the professors and hit them with flagpoles while spitting profanity.

“Stay back! “Get back!”

“100 million! “Ouch!”

The violence of the station workers forced the professors to step back, and several professors protested to Giovanni.

“You are using violence against guests from abroad! “Where can you find such rudeness?”

Giovanni actually screamed at those words.

“If you had stepped down when I told you to step down in the first place, you wouldn’t have seen something like that!”

“How can you understand them when they talk in their own language!”

“That’s why the interpreter shouted! And even if there was no interpreter! You should have noticed! If an accident occurs, who will be responsible for what happens next? “I will hold Gonfaloniere accountable!”

The professors all fell silent at Giovanni’s harsh words. One of the biggest donors to the universities where they worked was Cosimo de’ Medici.

As the small commotion subsided, a car specially organized to pick up the professors entered the platform.

“Oh~.”

When the iron horse stopped, the professors let out exclamations and all clung to the iron horse and the carriage.

The professors I was so attached to were all amazing.

horse finally passed over the bridge with a loud whistle sound, the professors’ eyes widened.

“It was really a bridge made of iron!”

“It was not called an iron bridge because it was a bridge for iron horses, but because it was made of real iron!”

Although they had heard about the iron bridge through Henry and others, the professors distrusted it.

-Iron is not a material that is easy to produce so that it can be used in such large quantities.

-It is not easy to produce iron of such excellent quality that it can withstand the weight of an iron horse.

Because of this perception, professors distrusted the existence of iron bridges. Some professors even scoffed at saying this.

“why? “They say there are ships made of iron floating on the sea, right?”

A bridge made of iron actually appeared before the eyes of the professors who were skeptical.

The professors, who were frantically looking at the steel structures of the railroad bridge passing before their eyes, looked at their colleagues around them and said similar things.

“What kind of emperor is this who led all of this? Has Aristotle been reborn?”

The professors, who had not only admiration but even awe for the existence of incense, became even more determined.

-I must have a discussion with the emperor. I will learn from discussions!

Arriving in Seoul, the professors undressed in the lodgings provided by the empire.

“I would like to meet His Majesty the Emperor and pay my respects.”

“First, let’s get rid of the travel fatigue...”

“Uh-huh! That’s not an example! “I’m going to upload it from a long time ago and take a break!”

After hearing the professors’ strong request, the village allowed it.

Hyang, who received a courtesy from the professors in the front yard of Geunjeongjeon, opened her mouth in a soft voice.

“You had a lot of trouble coming to the elders. I am the emperor of this empire. I hope you have a good time during your stay in the Empire.”

After Hyang finished speaking, those who seemed to be the most senior among the professors stepped forward and spoke to Hyang.

“Your Majesty, I ask that I be able to discuss this with your Majesty before I return.”

“With luggage? why?”

“Before I came here, I have heard many stories about your Majesty’s knowledge. Therefore, I hope that we can discuss with your Majesty and share our knowledge.”

“Share each other’s knowledge...”

Hyang trailed off, thought for a moment and spoke again.

“I heard that the quarantine station inspected the toilets to the extent of filling a large tank three times throughout the night.”

“yes. I couldn’t control my curiosity, so I did something excessive. Please forgive me.”

“I didn’t say this to punish you. So, do you know how water is supplied from the large tank to the toilet tank?”

“yes? Of course, water flows from top to bottom...”

Hyang interrupted the professor with a cold expression.

“The toilet tank is not attached to the floor, but above the floor. On the other hand, the water pipe goes up the wall from the floor and connects to the toilet tank. If, as you say, it flows naturally from top to bottom, isn’t this a contradiction? So, please answer the principle by which Jim solved this part.”

“That... that...”

“People who can’t even properly answer Jim’s question want to share knowledge and have a discussion? “Why the luggage?”

“....”

At Hyang’s point, the professors had no choice but to keep their mouths shut and bow their heads. A voice of incense flowed over the heads of those professors.

“Your inspection will proceed as scheduled. But since it’s a discussion... Let’s start by providing answers to the questions Jim asked.”

Author’s Note

Hello.

This is Gukppong, who writes ‘Black Enterprise Chosun’.

It is no different than that we will be taking a break during this Lunar New Year holiday.

sorry.

I continued to prepare for the Lunar New Year holiday, but things were not easy.

Would you say you’ve been a bit tired?

Even though I stayed up all night in front of the monitor, I couldn’t think clearly, and even if I did sleep, I couldn’t sleep for more than 2 hours, and I woke up feeling more and more dizzy.

I will recharge during this holiday period and then come back and fill up my energy.

I hope that our readers will show the same generosity as Hahae.

We wish you a happy new year.
