Black Corporation: Joseon

Episode 1038: That thrilling name… Biography. (6)

While the imperial court was paying close attention to the Jews who suddenly stood out in the imperial capital market, Jews also made their presence known on the other side. The field in which Jews showed their presence was academics.

As already mentioned in the royal court, acquiring specialized knowledge was something that cost a lot of money. However, even Jews could be respected as long as their achievements were recognized. Because of this, many Jews became renowned as scholars. The reason why Jewish scholars with a solid social status immigrated to the empire was because of various research institutes and research institutes.

Whenever several types of papers, textbook catalogues, etc. intentionally leaked by Hyang and Hyeon arrived in Europe, the European academic world was swept by a storm. Every time a theory that overturned the conventional wisdom or theory emerged from the empire, various attempts were made to disprove it. But most such attempts led to failure. The reaction of European scholars was divided into two.

Either acknowledge or ignore the doctrines and theories coming from the empire.

-I haven’t found any counterevidence, but I still can’t admit it. The theory that came from the empire is a wrong theory.

-This is a theory that has been established as orthodoxy for hundreds of years. The empire is wrong.

This was the response of the dismissive and denialists. In response, the positive faction criticized them by citing the following example.

“Then what is heliocentrism?”

“The heliocentric theory is the symbol of a wrong theory! The geocentric theory is the correct theory!”

“…Let’s not talk.”

Under these circumstances, Jewish scholars began to contemplate emigration to the empire.

-Even if a new doctrine or theory comes out from the Empire, it is too late considering the time it takes for it to reach Europe. And the Empire doesn’t reveal everything. In other words, the intention was to come to the empire and directly encounter the sacred theory. There was also the advantage of being able to do research with budget support if you could get into the research institute.

However, despite these advantages, they could not easily make a decision and only continued to deliberate.

-What should I do if I go to the Empire and cannot enter the research institute?

-Can I give up all the foundation I have built so far?

While they were wandering around worrying over and over again, ‘Challenge Rock’ made them move.

* * *

In the past, European scholars who had tasted the assignments of Jeonjeonrok that were deliberately leaked became addicted to Jeonjeonrok.

“I want to see more difficult problems and challenge myself.”

When I was struggling with this desire, these words were written at the beginning of papers recording new doctrines and theories that came out of the empire.

-This is the answer to the task in the challenge record, and registration in the response record has been confirmed…..

“Is it also a challenge record?”

“Dojeonrok is the holy grail of learning!”

In this craze, as new knowledge and discoveries such as the existence of ‘oxygen’, ‘cells’, ‘capillaries’, and ‘blood circulation theory’ emerged, many scholars stood up and left their seats.

“let’s go!”

Following the movement of fellow scholars, Jewish scholars put aside their concerns and packed their bags.

“let’s go!”

“Let’s move a little first and get a seat!”

“What if I can’t get into the research lab? If you listen to the story, you’ll have a chance to see the challenge log as long as you become an imperial citizen, so I can just research on my own!”

To seize the opportunity as quickly as possible, many Jewish scholars boarded ships heading to the empire.

* * *

The imperial court, upon seeing the Jewish scholars flocking to Seoul, hastily began the selection process.

“Language is not a big problem…”

Most of the scholars who applied for immigration were fluent in Jeongeum and the imperial language. The reason it was possible was because of Jeonjeonrok.

-If you want to see it, you have to see the original!

Next was their field of expertise and their level of accomplishment.

Here was the problem. Just as the English expression for being knowledgeable is ‘Renaissance Man’, their main field was not just one thing. At least two or three double majors had religion or mysticism added to their basics. Or, if you are a religious person or a mystic who is interested in learning.

“…So what is your major?”

“Well, let’s come…”

“Whoa…”

Whenever this kind of conversation took place, the imperial officials in charge of screening placed their hands on their foreheads.

“You’re swearing…”

In order to solve a difficult problem that was not a difficult problem, the officials reported to Hyeon, and Hyeon visited Hyang. Hyun, who was on his way to Sugang Palace, suddenly burst into laughter.

“Hahaha! I thought it didn’t feel familiar to me, but then… Tae Sang-taeng is like this. If you take out the religion and mysticism, you are Tae-sang Sang-tae.”

Everyone around them nodded at Hyun’s words. After hearing the problem from Hyeon, who came to Sugang Palace, Hyang muttered to himself.

‘It doesn’t feel familiar somehow. I’m used to it. This is what it felt like when I met a fellow fan in the 21st century, right? If you look at the behavior of scholars until the 19th century, it would be safe to call them nerds.’

Hyang, who was shaking his head as he felt a sense of kinship, soon came up with an answer.

“Why do we have to step forward? All we have to do is ask them what they want to research. It’s up to us from there. Check how deep their knowledge is in that field and give them a professor’s position or a researcher’s position. All you need to do is give them a lesson. If that’s not enough, you can make them learn it again at an academy or school.”

“They are renowned as scholars, but if you ask them to learn again, they will be very resistant.”

“Then tell them to go back. We brought them here? Aren’t they the ones who came because they wanted to? They say their education is too shallow to give them the position they want, so they rebel because they can’t? That’s funny.”

It was a cold statement, but it was a correct opinion. Hyun nodded and accepted Hyang’s words.

“I think that would be best.”

The future of the scholars was determined through a revised review process based on the township’s suggestion. Fortunately, because they were well-known scholars, most of them were able to be assigned positions as professors or researchers. With this large-scale influx of manpower, officials assigned to the research institute suffered from overwork.

This was because, starting with the expansion of the building, all kinds of money had increased significantly, and as the amount of letters sent to acquaintances and relatives in Europe had increased, the amount of censorship had increased several times.

As the workforce increased, the research center became more active and began producing more and more results. What was most noticeable was the increase in the number of departments working together to collaborate. A typical example was a case where a department researching electricity and a chemistry and industry department worked together.

In the process of creating, storing, and transmitting electricity, new combinations of alloys have become necessary. And for this, cooperation with chemistry was essential. And in order to properly express the properties and capabilities of electricity, formulas were essential.

As already mentioned, because they were very knowledgeable people, at first, only scholars studying electricity worked on their work. However, the more I dug into it, the more difficult it became to do it on my own, and the more urgent it became to cooperate with other departments. And as time passed, more progressive results began to emerge.

As the pace of scientific and technological development in the empire gradually accelerated, unexpected and inevitable casualties began to appear. They were students attending the academy and graduate students attending various academies. Until I went to social school, I only learned basic arithmetic operations as before. However, those who started at Kihakdang or Middle School and then went on to academies such as Engineering Academy or Medical Academy had to learn increasingly complex and difficult formulas.

Those who suffered most from this situation were those who challenged management. In the past, aspiring managers only had to study scriptures, but after becoming an empire, going to industrial academies became a mandatory course.

“No, it’s hard to even properly dig up the scriptures, but it’s industry-academia! Industry-academia!”

“In my grandfather’s time, industry and academia were just entertainment, but they are essential! They are essential!”

“No, you just have to be good at adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing! Why do you need such complicated formulas? What functions? Why draw pictures again!”

At the screams of aspiring managers, their teachers and senior officials could not help but smile bitterly.

“I need it.”

“If you’re not good at that, you’ll always have to live with overtime work, and you’ll miss out on a promotion. Oh, was overtime work always something you’d enjoy?”

And at some point, it wasn’t just management aspirants who said things like this.

“No! I’m just planning to work at a commercial company, so why do I have to learn such things as industry and academia? I just need to be good at counting and keeping my ledgers accurate! Why do I suddenly have to learn this strange thing called ‘statistics’!”

“What is double-entry bookkeeping?”

As the society of the empire changed, more and more people entered industry and academies. The problem was that the number of industrial academies was limited. Therefore, the competition to enter industrial academies has become increasingly fierce. The government, which sensed a problem in the overheated atmosphere, announced a response plan after discussion.

-Academies, such as industrial academies, are places that train professional scholars to work in research institutes.

-Scholars are people who devote their lives to their chosen field of study.

-For this reason, additional expansion of industry and academia is not possible.

-Accordingly, we will train teachers to teach industry and academia and place them in middle schools throughout the empire. I will also pursue private studies.

-The law will establish the minimum knowledge that a person in charge of teaching must have and the standards for the place where teaching will be conducted, and permission to private schools will be granted to places that meet these requirements.

-If you pass the industry-academia exam conducted by the government in the future, you will be given the same qualifications as if you completed the industry-academia academy.

Shortly after the imperial proclamation was issued, requests for private schools began pouring in from all over the empire. Accordingly, the government sent out officials to inspect it carefully and then granted permission. In this process, new jobs were created.

He was an industrial school teacher.

At first, they were mainly retired researchers from industry and academies, but over time, retired scholars or scholars who could not enter research institutes became teachers. In some ways, it was a blessing that scholars became teachers. This was because they were familiar with teaching students in Europe and the Middle East, so they were adept at teaching the students at the academy.

However, it was still a difficult task for those who learned. This was because, as they learned from teachers who were more advanced than expected, the level of those who learned industry-academia at middle schools and private schools increased, and as a chain reaction, the level of classes at industry-academic schools also increased. After hearing the related story, Hyang swept her heart and sighed in relief.

“Whew~. I never thought it would be so good to be able to just order a learned person to do it.”

In the beginning, I had to make various calculations because of the smell. However, as time passed, only the idea and basic design of the fragrance was left to others to handle the precise design based on accurate calculations. And once I got my hands on Da Vinci, it was a scent that only gave me ideas.

“What should I do if you twist me? I’m in a prenatal situation?”
