Chapter 810

Episode 810: The stars fall. (4)

The first thing that Hyang, who took on the task from King Sejong, was classification.

“This is already in progress... This is just planning... And this is just planning...”

Hyang, who was sorting through the piles of books and scrolls one by one, let out a long sigh.

“Ha~. “Shinji’s work is urgent...”

Even though he was complaining, Hyang continued to sort without stopping.

It wasn’t just classification.

“I’ll write you a list, so you can go to the archives and get a copy.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The internal officers assigned to Changdeokgung Palace as well as the officials assigned to assist in the affairs of the township carried manuscripts back and forth between Changdeokgung Palace and the Record Office according to the instructions of the township.

Among them, negligence in the management of records was revealed, and the people in charge were reprimanded and demoted.

What was interesting was that the place he was demoted and assigned to was also the records office.

The person whose name was changed from ‘Records Supervisor’ to ‘Records Director’ clearly showed what ‘the expression of someone who has fallen into the abyss’ is.

Even in this commotion, the pace of work at the township was unrivaled.

The young eunuchs and officials who saw this from the side clicked their tongues.

‘You can handle things so quickly and make almost no mistakes! ‘This is not the level of royalties!’

‘This is why the officials and old masters start a fight whenever they hear the word of a situation!’

The scent also had its own reasons.

“I have to deal with it quickly and hand it over to my younger brothers! That way, we can rob Area 51 before we return to Shinji!”

Because I forgot about erosion and busily continued sorting for my own goal, I was able to almost finish the incense in two days.

“Is that all that’s left now...”

Hyang, who was looking at the less than ten books left, took the book on top in his hands.

“Let’s see... Japsangrok Kwon Il (券一)?”

Hyang checked the title written on the cover with a sour expression, turned the cover over, and began to read the contents.

But as the pages passed, Hyang’s face became more and more serious.

“No way...”

Hyang, with a stiff face, looked at the titles of the remaining books.

“They are all miscellaneous records...”

Hyang, who was quickly checking the contents of the remaining miscellaneous records, grabbed the first volume among them in his hand and hurriedly got up from his seat.

“I will go to Sugang Palace and see the state of affairs, so please let me know in advance!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

* * *

Hyang arrived at Suganggung and immediately went to see King Sejong.

Sejong, who got up from his seat with the help of the eunuch, gave an order to the eunuch.

“I’m thirsty. “Go and get some medicine.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

King Sejong quenched his thirst with a sip of the medicinal tea brought by the eunuch and looked at the incense with a smile.

“So, what brought you here? “I already asked about your greetings in the morning, so I’m curious what’s going to happen.”

In response to King Sejong’s question, Hyang politely held out the wild rose to King Sejong.

“It’s because of this.”

* * *

After returning to Changgyeonggung Palace, Hyang gathered her courage and opened the book.

“If you can’t avoid it, you should enjoy it... I just have to sort it out. “The real hard work falls on the researchers at the research institute.”

That day, scholars at the institute collectively applied for leave, complaining of unexplained chills.

Be that as it may, Hyang studied the contents of the records and diligently carried out the classification process.

-It is said that the world revolves around the energy of yin and yang and the five elements. But what about the energy that Hyang calls ‘Rae Qi (雷氣)’ or ‘雷力’ (雷力)? It is difficult to explain with traditional yin-yang and five elements. Are yin and yang and the five elements truly the only energies that move the world?

“I guess I can hand this over to the epidemiology department. The grade is... mid to high.”

-There are many different types of weights and measures currently in use, making it difficult to communicate with each other. In the case of the Empire, the unit of length was unified based on Yeongjocheok, and the same applies to weight. However, if you look at the origins of these weights and measures, they began with the human body and grain as standards. Since all people are different sizes and each grain of grain is different, errors are bound to occur.

Therefore, we need a measurement unit that will not cause errors no matter where we go in the world.

“The difficulty level suddenly jumps? This is a common task for the Department of Industry and Science and the Department of Water Science. “The level of difficulty is like Wukong Yisan’s imagination.”

Hyang, who was setting the difficulty level and designating the appropriate department, crossed his arms and sighed.

“Whoa~. Right from the beginning, Woo Gong Yi-san keeps popping up... I’m sure there will be more than one person who will criticize me even after I die. “I still have to do it.”

Hyang quenched his thirst with the prepared black bean tea and moved on to the next step.

-Dancing and singing are integral to the entertainment enjoyed by the people. In order to properly express dance and song, accurate sheet music is essential. The way the Empire writes music and the way Europe writes music are completely different, so compare them to find a suitable method.

“This is kind of easy. And Anpyeong will like it. “The grade is medium to high.”

After receiving the assignment, Anpyeong went wild.

“What level is this? “He also played a part in the process of creating the Imperial March!”

To be honest, Anpyeong was an innocent victim. Music was not a field of incense.

I took a breather like that, but as I opened the next page, Hyang sighed.

“Whoa~. Damn it....”

King Sejong’s miscellaneous thoughts were diverse, regardless of field.

-When you get sick, it is routine to treat it with medicine. However, there are many cases where people stumble because they cannot find the right medicine depending on the time and place. If we could know which part of the medicine is effective and if people could make it, wouldn’t we be able to reduce the number of unfortunate accidents that result in loss of life due to untimely death?

“The Academy of Medicine and the Department of Chemistry. “Wukong Yisan is seriously injured.”

-Treat poor people at military clinics and hospitals throughout the empire. However, there is a difference between those who show the same symptoms and go into remission even when given the same prescription and those who do not.

It’s the same symptom, but isn’t it a different disease? So, is it really possible to make an accurate diagnosis with just a pulse and a medical examination?

If you look at books on medicine, there is a technique for dividing bone and flesh and examining the inside. But isn’t it possible to separate flesh and bones every time?

Is there a way to look inside the human body without separating flesh and bones?

After re-reading the item in question several times, Hyang pondered for a while and came to a conclusion.

“...Academy of Medicine, Academy of Engineering, Department of Industry, Department of Chemistry, Department of Physics. “Difficulty: Wukong Isan Sangsangsang.”

It was the moment when a new class was born.

Hyang opened the next page with a tired expression and shook his head.

“Are you into politics this time?”

-Now the power of the empire is concentrated in the emperor. Since the Joseon Dynasty, those who would inherit the throne were groomed to be kings through thorough training. However, it cannot be denied that no matter how much discipline is given, a person with insufficient qualifications can succeed to the throne. If that happens, not only the safety of the imperial family but the empire itself could fall.

Is the division of power the answer to avoid this? If there is a split, who will have how much power? And how to prevent those who share power from abusing it?

“Lee Academy. “Imagination of Mount Wukong.”

-In the past, there have often been people claiming ‘communist dispersion’.

As the empire’s power grows, the gap between the rich and the poor is certain to widen and become a problem.

Then, those who claim ‘communism’ will come out again and be insensitive. We need a way to prevent this.

“As expected, Lee Gakwon’s Wukong Yisan Sangsang Award.”

As I proceeded with the sorting process step by step, when I got to the 6th volume, the scent froze.

“It was just a joke so far.”
