Episode 489: Picking the pockets. (2)
At Hyang’s words, the lion looked very nervous. The lion swallowed dry saliva and carefully opened his mouth.
“direction! “No, I’m sorry.”
The lion, who made a mistake because he was so nervous, imdiately fell to the ground and asked for forgiveness.
‘I can’t believe I made a mistake in pronunciation in front of the crown prince! If I do sothing wrong, I won’t end up with just one neck!’
Seeing the lion lying face down on the ground and trembling, Hyang smiled and comforted him.
“I don’t mind, so relax.”
“hot! “I am devastated.”
The lion expressed his gratitude for Hyang’s words and cautiously opened his mouth.
“You said conditions. What are the conditions?”
“For the first ti, Tsushima Island will be completely owned by Joseon. Looking at the situation of Tsushima Island, it has been quickly invaded by our Joseon and Japanese countries at the sa ti, but the harmful effects are not small. So I’m going to make a definite decision this ti.”
The lion nodded slightly at Hyang’s words.
‘In the anti, Tsushima has been causing a lot of trouble in the middle. But… it’s not an easy situation from the start.’
The lion sighed softly and opened his mouth.
“Then what are the other conditions?”
“Secondly, the safety of the Ryukyu Kingdom must be guaranteed in writing. “You know why, right?”
“yes.”
“Thirdly, do not approach the coast near Daeseoldo Island carelessly. “If you want to trade, you must also guarantee in writing that only those who are officially permitted can access it.”
“I understand.”
“And lastly, we will increase the number of Korean soldiers stationed at the Joseon superiors and mines. “You understand this, right?”
“…yes.”
“ah! It’s not just a matter of conditions. “If your lord accepts these conditions, we will not only supply gunpowder at cost, but also treat injured soldiers through the doctors staying at the superior office.”
At Hyang’s words, the lion fell down on the floor and expressed his gratitude.
“I am truly devastated!”

anwhile, the Ouchi clans did their best to develop their territory by adopting Joseon culture. However, the area where the gap was still large was dical care.
In order to resolve this issue, Ming officials were invited and dical books were obtained and distributed to the local lawmakers, but the situation was still at a standstill.
The biggest cause of such a gap was the drug issue.
“It seems like all the efficacy of dicinal herbs cos from there, but the really good dicinal herbs co from Joseon.”
All of the invited lawmakers who ca to the territory pointed out this point.
“In addition, the performance of dical tools made in Joseon these days is better than in the Ming Dynasty. If possible, it is a good idea to obtain Korean dicinal herbs and dical tools.”
Following the advice of Ming Dynasty lawmakers, Ouchi worked hard to import dicinal herbs from Joseon.
However, as the war unfolded, the consumption of gunpowder and dicinal materials was so great that the first thing to run out was.
In this situation, it was good news that Joseon’s superiors were providing treatnt for the wounded soldiers.
* * *
But the scent didn’t stop there.
“ah! Of course, there are conditions in this part as well. “The superiors will treat not only Daenae’s soldiers but also the opposing army’s soldiers in the sa way.”
“yes?”
“Shouldn’t we also consider Joseon’s position? If you do it wrong, you could be accused of intervening in internal affairs. “You probably don’t know why gunpowder is sold for money, right?”
“Ah…”
The lion, who had closed his mouth at the explanation of the scent, thought for a mont and then opened his mouth again.
“These are not all easy conditions. “I would like to make one more request to you.”
“jean? “Tell .”
“Please sell Bigyeokjincheonroe as well.”
“Bigyeokjincheonroe? Do you have artillery to fire it?”
“….”
The lion responded by lying down on the ground. Hyang opened his mouth at that sight.
“If you accept all of those conditions, I will consider selling Bigeokjincheonroe and toys positively.”
In response to Hyang’s response, the lion bowed down on the floor and answered in a loud voice.
“I will definitely bring good results!”
“Be mindful. “If even one condition is missing, the bigyeokjincheonrei incident will never have happened.”
“I will keep this in mind!”

The ssenger who accepted Hyang’s offer hurried back.
After sending the ssenger back, Hyang reported the progress of events to King Sejong.
“It’s okay.”
After receiving Hyang’s report, Sejong nodded and responded positively. However, that was not the end; evaluation and criticism imdiately followed.
“I really liked the handling of the Tsushima case. No matter how close the Daenae clan is to our Joseon Dynasty, if they push ahead with superiority and make a mistake, there could be resentnt left behind. “It can be said that giving advice in advance is a very good thing.”
“thank you.”
“But isn’t it too much to sell bigyeokjincheonroe? “Couldn’t they model it, make it in large quantities, and then use it for our country?”
The ministers nodded to King Sejong’s point.
Unless there was a siege, the Bigyeokjincheonroe was the best artillery shell. Even if hundreds of fierce Jurchen cavalry rushed at it, it would collapse imdiately after firing five or six lightning bolts.
Thanks to this, the artillery units of the Joseon Army’s Bo and Jin long-distance patrols filled almost all of their ammunition with bigyeokjincheonroe.
That is why King Sejong raised an issue when Hyang said that he would hand over Bigyeokjincheonroe to Ouchi.
Hyang imdiately responded to Sejong’s point.
“They said they would sell small Bigyeokjincheonroe, but they did not say they would give them the sa ones our military uses. The sa goes for toys.”
“huh?”
Sejong, who paused for a mont at Hyang’s words, imdiately shook his head.
“What a cunning bastard!”
The ministers who heard Hyang’s answer felt the sa way.
“The crown prince seems to be in good spirits, so I’ll just overlook this.”
King Sejong decided to follow the opinion of the village regarding the issue of Bigyeokjincheonroe and moved on.
“Hmm… I will treat the wounded soldiers through the doctors staying at the superior. That too, regardless of the opponent…”
Sejong, who was contemplating the proposal of treating wounded soldiers through his superiors, glared at Hyang.
“If it’s your personality, it won’t be an act of simple pity. “What are you planning?”
In response to King Sejong’s question, the ministers nodded at the sa ti. The scent they experienced was absolutely pity, and it was not for those who made such a big deal out of spending money.
‘If the crown prince were such a good person, he wouldn’t have handed over Bigyeokjincheonrei at all!’
‘What pity for the master of tricks!’
Hyang responded to Sejong’s comnt with a bitter smile.
“Even small children have compassion. However, it is true that Sanghang’s proposal was not made simply out of pity.”
“okay. “Let’s hear what he’s planning.”
After taking a mont to catch his breath, Hyang began to explain.
“You can get at least three benefits by treating wounded soldiers regardless of your superiors.”
The description of the scent was as follows.
-The excellence of our Joseon Dynasty was widely known in the Japanese country, but the only people who knew about it were mostly Japanese nobles or high-ranking warriors.
By treating the lowest-class soldiers, he made even the lowest-ranking Japanese people admire Joseon.
‘Why is it that religious people and dical professionals were the first to enter the colonies during the imperialist era? And isn’t this the reason why Japanese people say such nonsense even in the 21st century?’
* * *
When the Chinese epidemic struck the world in the 21st century, Japanese net-rightists argued like this.
‘Didn’t you benefit from dical care through the modern hospitals built by Japan in the late Joseon Dynasty? So Korea has an obligation to provide dical support to Japan!’
It was nonsense that made Koreans who heard the story so shocked that they burst into flas.
* * *
“It’s a feeling of adoration… It’s okay. “Then what about the second?”
In response to Sejong’s positive response, Hyang continued to explain.
“The superiors provide treatnt and at the sa ti, secretly induce people to return to Joseon.”
“Accepting the Japanese? why?”
“Because what is lacking most in Joseon right now is people.”
Hyang explained why the Japanese should be accepted.
-Until now, among the noble Yi people, there are very few people who are good at farming, except for a few Jurchen people.
However, the Japanese are good at farming, so it is advantageous for them to prosper in the newly acquired river area.
-The Japanese do not mind obeying the strong because of their habit. Therefore, it is truly suitable for working in the newly acquired river area.
– Paradoxically, the lowest class of Japanese people have a weak sense of belonging to the Japanese nation. For most of them, the village in which they were born and raised and the country to which that village belongs are all they have in the world. Therefore, if such people decide to beco noblen, they will beco more loyal people than anyone else.
King Sejong and the ministers all nodded at Hyang’s words. Before the start of the Gyeongjang, most people in Joseon lived without knowing much about anything other than the village where they were born and raised. And these people were the most solid foundation that supported the power of local noblen.
Therefore, the first thing King Sejong did through Gyeongjang was to cut off this link.
And as this link was broken, the loyalty of the common people to the country and the king beca stronger.
Because of this experience, King Sejong and his ministers were able to imdiately recognize the second benefit ntioned by Hyang.
“It’s a good idea. “Then what is the third benefit?”
“It’s a sanitizing liquid.”
“huh?”
King Sejong and the ministers tilted their heads at the completely unexpected answer.
“Why sanitizing solution?”
“Rumors are coming from all over that the dicinal effect of the disinfectant liquid is great. What is the problem?”
Hyang imdiately answered the questions of King Sejong and his ministers.
“yes. It is a well-known fact that the dicinal efficacy of purified bacteria solution is excellent. However, there are still many obstacles to overco with this disinfectant solution.”
-It was discovered that bacterial extract has excellent dicinal effects on various inflammatory diseases. However, even for the sa inflammatory disease, more investigation is still needed to determine which condition it is suitable for and how much it should be used.
-The short lifespan of the disinfectant solution is also a problem. Various attempts are currently being made to extend its lifespan, but you have to use it to confirm accurate results.
And in order to obtain accurate results from this type of experint, the number of subjects must be very large.
“…That is why we must treat wounded soldiers regardless of their superiors. “The thing that bothers wounded soldiers the most on the battlefield is purulence, so this is the best place to test a bacterial solution.”
Although Hyang’s explanation was over, King Sejong and his ministers’ expressions were not good.
“I know it’s our best opportunity, but wouldn’t it be a problem? “You can bring soone in and kill them just to save them.”
Hyang imdiately responded to Sejong’s words.
“It’s not about removing the poison, is it? The dicinal efficacy of sanitary bacterium solution has already been proven. The problem now is knowing the appropriate use, timing of administration, exact dosage, and types and symptoms of side effects. No matter how good a dicine is, it can beco poison if you don’t know how to use it properly. Therefore, we cannot miss this great opportunity.”
Hyang finished answering, but Sejong did not open his mouth right away. Sejong, who had been thinking for a while, finally opened his mouth.
“I allow it.”
“thank you.”
* * *
After receiving permission from Sejong, Hyang stopped and muttered.
“I need to use this opportunity to prepare laws and regulations related to clinical trials. According to rumors, there are doctors who make various dicines. “You have to prepare in advance.”
