Chapter 751

Episode 751: The Emperor of the Second Lieutenant (4)

The management office that organized Zhou Jianxin’s request immediately reported it to the superiors.

Wan, who finally received the report, studied the contents and asked the ministers.

“Has anything changed in the Ming Dynasty?”

“I don’t have any.”

“Are you saying nothing has changed? “Hello?”

Hwang Bo-in stepped forward and answered Wan’s expression of disbelief.

“Nothing has changed.”

In response to Hwang Bo-in, Wan shook his head.

“Our empire has changed its system several times since the old Joseon Dynasty... but not a single thing has changed. “Do you not know how much the world has changed?”

* * *

By the time the campaign started by King Sejong was completed, the Joseon Dynasty’s government had changed significantly. And as Joseon turned into an empire, he tried his hand at it again.

Through this process, the traditional six ancestors were transformed into six departments, and in addition, semi-independent departments named Yuan and Cheong were created.

As the size of the empire grew and interests among the people became more complex, the administrative structure inevitably became more complex.

Although it was primitive, the system of separation of powers was also applied, so the administrative organization of the empire during this period became the most complex administrative organization in the world.

As if that were not enough, even now there is a separate institution that only studies methods to increase the efficiency of the imperial administrative organization.

Because this was the situation, Wan shook his head.

“Why are they trying to change the government to model itself after our empire, but they are still unable to break away from the Tang system that has been in place since long ago... Tsk tsk...”

Wan clicked his tongue without realizing it and gave an order.

“But I still don’t know, so please grant his request.”

“I follow your orders.”

After giving orders to his ministers, Wan looked at the reports again and organized them one by one.

“Let’s put aside for a moment the issue of the comrades he asked to take with him and look at this marriage issue first. “Who are the parents of this girl named Yang Geum-sun?”

The person in charge stepped forward and answered Wan’s question.

“I am the owner of one of the top five ssajjeon and breweries in the Seochon area.”

“Then he must be quite wealthy?”

“Yes, I am saying that I am using some effort in the village.”

“What are your origins? “Are you from the Banga family?”

“Yangin is coming.”

“Hmm...”

“Then what does Yang Geum-sun think of him?”

“It seems like they are thinking well of each other, but I think it is more appropriate to see them as close as brother and sister.”

“So you’re saying he’s even sweeter?”

“That’s right.”

“Hmm... Even if the relationship is similar to that of brother and sister, you are saying that if you pursue marriage, there is a high possibility that your wife and daughter’s family will accept it?”

“I commend you. The rumor had already spread throughout the neighborhood...”

“Ah...”

Wan nodded at the person in charge’s answer and thought for a moment before looking back at Hwang Bo-in.

“Do you think it would be good for a girl from a wealthy, but Han-American-Han family to become empress?”

“The Ming imperial family is coming. “No matter how much money you have, how can you compare?”

“Still, let’s think about it. “If the empress and her close associates were imperial citizens, wouldn’t it be helpful to the relationship between the Ming and the empire?”

“Of course it can help. However, if done incorrectly, it could be seen as a means for the empire to interfere in Ming’s internal affairs.”

“He wanted it first?”

“How many people would even think about that?”

“Wouldn’t he feel bad towards our empire if we refused all of his requests except the first?”

“It is not impossible.”

“Hmm...”

Wan, who had been thinking about Hwang Bo-in’s words again, came to a conclusion.

“Let’s think about this a little more and come to a conclusion.”

“I follow your orders.”

* * *

“Let me help you. Even if we look like this, aren’t we still friends?”

“cancer! We are comrades! “If there is anything I can help you with, I will help you.”

Hearing his comrades’ serious answers, Zhou Jianxin took a breath and got to the point.

“Then why don’t you change the sky with me?”

When the word ‘heaven’ appeared out of nowhere, Zhou Jianxin’s comrades instantly looked dumbfounded.

“what? “Are you trying to plot treason?”

“This is outrageous!”

Seokjun’s eyes lit up at Joo Gyeonsim’s firm answer.

“So, have you really ascended to heaven?”

Joo Gyeon-sim nodded to Seok-jun’s question.

“That’s right.”

“Then do you want me to change your name right now?”

“Not yet.”

“What kind of Zen questions are these two?”

Seok-jun stepped forward and answered the essential question of not understanding the conversation between Joo Gyeon-sim and Seok-jun.

“Jamryong has become the Emperor of Ming.”

“huh?”

“Eh?”

“uh?”

The other comrades instantly panicked at Seokjun’s explanation. This was because something that I had never thought of, or that I thought was possible only in my imagination, actually happened.

Looking at the faces of his comrades, Zhou Jianxin continued speaking.

“Let’s change the sky of Nanjing with me.”

No one opened their mouths for a long time after Zhou Jianxin finished speaking.

It was essential to be the first to break the silence.

“Whoa~.”

Pi-pil broke the silence with a sigh and looked straight at Zhou Gyeon-sim.

“It is certain that you and we are comrades. And if you need help, I’ll be happy to help you. But you are from a famous country and we are from an empire. As a citizen of the empire, I cannot do anything that would be harmful to the empire.”

Joo Gyeon-sim responded immediately to Yoo Ji-yi’s words.

“I swear to the gods of heaven and earth that no harm will come to the empire.”

“Really?”

“It’s true. “If you want, I can even write a blood oath.”

“Hmm...”

In response to Joo Gyeon-sim’s answer, Pil-pil and the other comrades looked at Joo Gyeon-sim with more serious faces.

“But why us?”

“You are the only people I can truly trust. “If I go to Nanjing, I will become an isolated worker and only be taken advantage of.”

All the comrades nodded at Zhou Jianxin’s words. It was natural for them to think so.

“I can’t live a life where I get taken advantage of like that. If you’re up in the sky, shouldn’t you have a nice flight? And I think that those of you I have seen can sufficiently help me.”

Seokjun joined in with a slight smile at Joo Gyeonsim’s words.

“Don’t you think too highly of us?”

“No, I came to this conclusion after considering it seriously enough.”

“If other people hear it, they’ll think it’s because I’m a middle school student.”

“That must mean their eyes are knotholes.”

When others hear it, they say, ‘That’s why it’s called a middle school disease!’ Seeing Joo Gyeon-sim saying this without hesitation, Seok-jun pointed out the problem again.

“We don’t speak the Ming language. Of course, thanks to you, we can have basic conversations, but not to the point where we start a war of words.”

“That makes it even better. “You guys will only analyze the facts and not fall for false accusations, and I’m the only one who can know that, right?”

“If you do it wrong, your life and ours could be in danger.”

“If the empire has an idea about that, they will come up with a way.”

“Hmm...”

While everyone was thinking about various things in response to Joo Gyeon-sim’s words, the comrade who had been the quietest spoke up.

“It’s all good... but what are you going to do with Geumsoon?”

“I will definitely get married!”
