Chapter 978

Episode 978: The Clear-Eyed Madman (3)

The craftsmen who thought Da Vinci’s idea was plausible worked with Da Vinci again to draw a blueprint and write a proposal. Funnily enough, the thing that played the biggest role in this process was the typewriter.

“Is this old man writing? Is he drawing?”

“Drawing Jeongeum like this is a talent...”

Da Vinci, who used only the alphabet, wrote Jeongeum and was famous for his bad handwriting. So much so that some of the soldiers stationed in Area 51 were seriously considering using it to create passwords. Eventually, the craftsmen, tired of deciphering da Vinci’s code, brought the typewriter and spoke to da Vinci.

“Recite whatever comes to mind. I will transcribe it.”

“Of course...”

But this was also hard work.

“..... If I just change this part like this...”

“Again!”

Even if it went well, I tended to edit or add content right away when something suddenly flashed. Eventually, the craftsmen got tired of da Vinci’s whims and whims and gave him a typewriter.

“Chisel it out yourself!”

“Huh? Huh? Sure...”

In the end, Da Vinci sat down in front of the typewriter and began typing on his own.

“I should have done this a long time ago!”

The craftsmen were happy because da Vinci typed the typewriter himself, relieving them of a great burden. This was because it was possible to check the content and make corrections right away without having to worry about bad handwriting.”

However, in this process, Da Vinci got sidetracked.

“It’s a bit difficult to type this... and it’s possible to use a typewriter that can type the alphabet. Would you like to make it too? ”

Da Vinci felt uncomfortable with the typewriter he was using and began designing a new typewriter.

“Again! ”

“This time, I definitely went astray! ”

“This is a side street! It’s a completely different path! ”

Even as they grumbled, the craftsmen showed interest in what kind of typewriter Da Vinci would make. As time passed, Da Vinci completed the typewriter blueprint. The craftsmen who analyzed the blueprint all brightened their eyes.

“Does this look good? ”

“Let’s make it! ”

In this way, the craftsmen put away the gunpowder-propelled blade and made a typewriter first. After trying out the completed typewriter, the craftsmen all turned to Da Vinci.

“What are you doing!” Register this as intellectual property! ”

“I just modified the original typewriter...”

“The officials will take care of that! ”

“The texture is completely different! This is enough to register separately! ”

After receiving urging from craftsmen, Da Vinci registered the typewriter he made as intellectual property. The officials of the Intellectual Property Management Office who received the model and blueprint of the typewriter made by Da Vinci immediately submitted it to the mayor. The first typewriter was created and the Intellectual Property Management Office This was because the person who registered was Hyang. If something like this happened among ordinary people, it would have been decided through an authoritative interpretation by the Intellectual Property Management Office or through a lawsuit by a referee. However, it was a matter related to the situation. Officials had no choice but to do their best.

” It’s better to hear a tongue-lashing now than to be criticized by higher-ups later.”

And then things got messy.

* * *

“Tsk! ”

As the officials expected, Hyang’s first reaction was to click his tongue.

“I understand why this came up to me, but. No matter how bad my location is, I don’t know what to do because of what others think... Tsk tsk tsk! ”

Hyang clicked his tongue repeatedly and tapped on the typewriter made by Da Vinci and the craftsmen, and his eyes sparkled.

“Are you okay? ”

The typewriter that Hyang made was reminiscent of the structure of typewriters that Hyang had seen in the 21st century. However, it was a product that had problems in terms of structure and performance. It was a product that had to be lumped together and endure inconvenience due to unclear memory and technical limitations. This is what came out.

Da Vinci asked the eunuch with an incomprehensible expression. When Da Vinci’s typewriter was successfully registered as an intellectual property, Da Vinci and the craftsmen had a similar conversation.

“Shall we create a business and a factory to sell it? ‘

“This seems like something that would make money, but the problem is that there are already typewriters on the market.”

“It’s not the same thing, but it’s definitely something that will make money. But the opponent is too powerful.”

“It’s not the opponent, but the team behind it is too powerful.”

The conclusion reached by the craftsmen who mentioned the presence of scent, which could be considered a hint, was as follows.

-It would be best to sign a contract with a company that already makes typewriters.

Da Vinci expressed doubts because he had already heard this story. The eunuch smiled at Da Vinci’s point and explained the reason.

“His Majesty the Great Emperor said this....”

– Although a long time has passed since the typewriter currently used was first introduced, nothing has changed. This is because there was no one to compete with.

-For this reason, better typewriters will only come out if there is someone to compete with. And this will help the people.

“... And finally, he said this. ‘Don’t worry about the same backhanded tricks anyway. ‘. What are you going to do? ”

Da Vinci turned his head and looked at the craftsmen at the eunuch’s words. The craftsmen who were asked the silent question all nodded fiercely. After confirming the advice of the craftsmen, Da Vinci turned his head and looked at the interior.

“I will accept His Majesty Tae Sang-tae’s offer.”

“Good idea! Then let’s go to the battlefield and write a contract!”

No sooner had the eunuch finished speaking than the craftsmen behind him shouted.

“We want to do it too!”

“Really? Let’s do it. By the way...”

The eunuch muttered to himself.

‘The smell of money is amazing. I learned well from Jang Yeong-sil. Isn’t it the reign of Tae Sang-tae? ‘

* * *

Jang Yeong-sil accumulated quite a bit of wealth while working with Hyang. And this was the same for the craftsmen who followed Jang Yeong-sil. And craftsmen with deeper pockets were able to afford to design or make things of their own mind outside of work hours. Or they invested in their families, such as building a better house.

And this was the same for the internal officers. Among the nuns who worked with Hyang, many of them followed Hyang’s investments and made wealth. Of course, there was no way Hyang didn’t know this. If internal officials were found to be using illegal means, not only through the Board of Audit and Inspection but also through the Intelligence Committee, they were punished mercilessly.

* * *

This is how the typewriter produced by Da Vinci Typewriter Company began to gain popularity in an instant.

“While you’re making it, make sure the font is pretty!”

“That’s good!”

As a renowned artist, the font Da Vinci created looked good and was easy to read. In addition, the typewriter’s keyboard moved quite smoothly and cheerfully. It wasn’t just the keyboard. The sound of the typewriter’s operating parts moving, starting with the type, was very pleasant.

“The typewriter I used before was noisy, but this typewriter sounds really good!”

“The font looks good too!”

The ‘Da Vinci Typewriter Company’ quickly established itself amidst favorable reviews from the public. However, soon, the number of products handled by ‘Da Vinci Typewriter Company’ increased.

“What’s the owner of this place? I heard he’s the one who made the Chambalo or the Cimbala, is that correct?”

“Is that true?”

“If I get the price, I’d like to order one.”

“Huh? Wait a moment! What are you doing? You are a precious guest! Take care!”

As it became known through Jangakwon’s musicians and celebrities that this was the company of artisans who made the famous harpsichord, people flocked to order harpsichords. Harpsichords, which were divided into several grades, ranging from the relatively cheap price of 10 silver coins to the huge price of 2 gold coins, soon became a must-have item in the mansions of famous giru and wealthy people.

As a side note, the ‘Da Vinci Typewriter Company’, which established itself in this way, changed its name to ‘Da Vinci Keyboard Company’ and became a company boasting history and tradition.

-From light switches to piano keyboards, Davinich’s is the best at playing with your fingers.

This was the evaluation DaVinci Keyboard Company received in the future. As the Da Vinci Company slowly established itself, Da Vinci’s eyes began to change little by little.

“I can make whatever I want without worrying about the budget!”
