Black Corporation: Joseon

Episode 1054 Aftereffects. (3)

The prefectural officials and ministers also looked embarrassed. Prime Minister Han Chi-hyeong gathered other ministers in a conference room and held a meeting on this topic.

“It feels like the work has become bigger than expected since it is being carried out as a national project to France and the Holy Roman Empire.”

Deputy Prime Ministers and Ministers all nodded at Prime Minister Han Chi-hyeong’s remarks.

“Then how about we select it as a national project and actively support it?”

Left Deputy Prime Minister Ryu Sun pointed out a problem in response to Right Deputy Prime Minister Seong Jun’s suggestion.

“Support is already being provided to those who have applied for the contest.”

“So, the idea is to be more proactive.”

“What are you going to do if a problem of equity arises? Are you forgetting that Your Majesty has already pointed this out?”

As soon as Ryu Sun finished speaking, the Minister of Justice added.

“As soon as the support plan is announced, there are reckless people who try to fraudulently exploit it. But if it is selected as a national policy? Those who look down on the government’s work will flock in.”

“Then wouldn’t it be okay to catch them at the right time? Wait? Doesn’t this seem like a good plan to kill two birds with one stone?”

Everyone in the room had the same thought at the same time as Deputy Prime Minister Woo Seong-jun’s question and answer was answered.

‘Do you think you are some kind of imperial majesty? ‘Think of killing two birds with one stone!’

* * *

Starting with Hyang, the characteristic of the succeeding emperors was ‘aiming for maximum effect with minimum expenditure.’ Of course, this was also the standard for establishing the empire’s policies. However, there was a difference between the emperor and the ministers. If the emperor plans to achieve at least two positive results with one policy, or to obtain multiple results by linking two or three policies, the ministers will say, ‘Achieve one result with one policy and maximum effect with minimum expenditure.’ .’ It was planned and operated with a purpose.

The reason for this difference was that the emperors leading to Hyang and Wan Prefecture had excellent qualities, but they also took advantage of the advantage of being able to see the big picture at the top. On the other hand, ministers had the limitation of looking deeply only at the ministries they were responsible for. Therefore, the qualifications of the Prime Minister and the Left and Right Deputy Prime Ministers became important. This was because he was in a position to coordinate the big picture right under the emperor.

* * *

In an instant, Seongjun, who received fierce glares from the ministers, immediately reversed his position.

“Haha. I was joking for a moment. If you take it too seriously, your perspective narrows. But…”

Seongjun paused for a moment and continued with a serious expression.

“Don’t forget that if our empire falls behind in this competition, it can safely be said that it is a national shame.”

“That’s not a problem. Phew~.”

Ryu Soon, who agreed to Seongjun’s words, sighed and turned his gaze to the ceiling. This is precisely the problem that the prime minister and ministers are currently concerned about. It was an empire that was ahead of other countries in all fields so far. But what if the winner of this contest comes from another country? The pride of the imperial people would be seriously wounded.

And it was certain that the wounded imperial people would criticize the government ministers as incompetent.

-When there were former ministers and prime ministers, the empire was always at the forefront! But what a disgrace this is! This is because the current Prime Minister and ministers are incompetent! It was obvious that appeals filled with such content would flood in. No, it was better if only the subjects were criticized. If you make a mistake, you could end up criticizing the emperor.

No, there was a high possibility that it would come out. This was because the emperor would be replaced in a little while. The fact that no deadline was set when announcing the contest meant that it would be difficult to produce results within one to two years. If so, it was certain that the results of the contest would come out during the reign of the next emperor.

The problem was Wu’s weakness.

* * *

Regardless of imperialists and foreigners, the exceptional quality of the incense was recognized by all.

-A genius we will never see again.

-The greatest wise man in the world.

And Wan and Hyeon received direct instruction from this Hyang and were able to get advice directly or indirectly if necessary. But Wu wasn’t like that. Hyang, who had become Taesang, stayed at Sugang Palace and taught, but that time was insufficient compared to Wan and Hyeon. Also, considering Xiang’s age, it was almost impossible for Wu, who became emperor, to get advice from Xiang.

To conclude, among Wan-hyeon and Woo, the one with the lightest scent was Woo. This was a factor of anxiety for the people of the empire, starting from King Sejong and continuing through the present. This was Wu’s greatest weakness. If Wu, who became emperor, made a mistake or the government became difficult, the imperial people would criticize him even more severely.

“It’s because I didn’t learn it properly!”

“The previous emperors were all outstanding, so why are they like that…”

“Agh! Tsk tsk tsk… Tsk tsk tsk!”

If this type of criticism were to accumulate, the emperor’s authority would be undermined, and in the worst case, the empire could be shaken.

* * *

Soong Jun even used the word ‘national rule’ to point out this worst case scenario. And the Prime Minister and other ministers noticed this and sighed.

“Even now, a lot of support is being provided compared to the research institute or other departments in Area 51 and 52. Thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince doing his best to comfort us, there have been no complaints so far, but if further support continues here, there will definitely be complaints. That’s why. “If we just sit there and another country becomes the winner, it will be an even bigger problem…”

Han Chi-hyeong, who was organizing the situation, was unable to continue speaking. In the end, what came out at the end of the meeting to draw up the dodori table was a kind of stopgap measure.

-Allocate ‘a little’ more budget to support those who take on the contest.

– We will identify and severely punish those who illegally receive this support. For this purpose, the Ministry of Finance and Economy conducts regular audits.

Hyeon sighed after accepting the policy prepared in this way.

“Whew. I don’t know why you were struggling, so I give you permission. However, be sure to find and severely punish those who tarnish the favor given by the country.”

“I follow your orders.”

And the officials from the Ministry of Finance and Economy who received the official letter slammed their desks and burst out in anger.

“I knew it would be like this! Our work just increased!”

Although they were outraged, Ministry of Finance and Economy officials faithfully carried out their duties.

-If another country takes first place in this contest, it will be a national disaster!

This was because I strongly sympathized with this.

* * *

To ensure that the support received from the country was being properly used, officials in charge regularly visited the challengers’ workrooms.

“It’s fortunate that the research institute and Areas 51 and 52 have dedicated departments. If I had had to go there, I would have really gotten caught up in the work and died.”

“Is it luck or misfortune…”

While grumbling like that, the officials searched for challengers in their respective districts and conducted an audit. As a result, there were times when interesting things happened.

“How do you feel? Did you get any good results?”

Jang Tae-soo, an official from the Ministry of Finance and Economy who came out to audit, asked his person in charge how he was doing, not how he was doing. To Tae-su Jang’s question, the challenger scratched his head and answered with an embarrassed expression.

“Well… it seems like something is going to work out, but it keeps failing. The design seems to be correct…” “

Really? Let’s take a look at the plan too. If it’s three years from Danggu Pungwol (堂狗風月 Seodanggae) Do you know what it is called (reciting the wind and moon)?”

“Ah… no way…..”

“Give it to me.”

After receiving the blueprint, the Governor examined it carefully and pointed out the problem.

“I think the sum of the numbers written here, here, and here is wrong?”

“Yes? Just a moment.”

The challenger, who was calculating numbers in his head while counting his fingers, shook his head.

“No, it’s true…”

“Look.”

Taesu wrote down the numbers on one side of the blueprint and then showed the answer by drawing a formula.

“Look. I’m wrong, right?”

“That’s… Still…”

“Even so, I’m an official at the Ministry of Finance and Economy. The Ministry of Finance and Economy~. The Ministry of Finance and Economy starts with a number and ends with a number.”

“Okay…”

Then the governor took out a calculator, entered the numbers, and then shouted as he showed the results.

“See? Instead of doing that fancy mental calculation, get a math machine or a calculator! No! If you need to calculate numbers, come see me! That’ll be easier! Oh my! I can’t believe I’m sitting there doing mental calculations while counting my fingers while competing in a contest with such a huge prize money! Oh my! “My clothes are exploding! This is why my work never slows down!”

And as time passed, Tae-soo Jang joined forces with the challenger in question and began to challenge the contest. He did not give up his official position, but all he did was stop by the challenger’s lab after work and help calculate numbers or organize and analyze the results. However, it wasn’t long before Tae-su Jang went to work at the challenger’s studio until the holidays.

And Jang Tae-su’s wife looked at the sky and sighed.

“Suddenly I find myself in the shoes of a living widow… Oh my, my dear~.”

* * *

Meanwhile, at Sugang Palace, Hyang was looking at the reports with a perplexed expression on his face. Hyang, who was currently looking at the report recording trends within the empire and abroad, sighed.

“Whew~. Is this my fault too?”

The scale of the plan originally conceived by Hyang was smaller than this.

-It is a bigger prize than expected, but if it is enough, even the hidden masters who were buried in the wilderness will come out.

-If they come forward, the power engine problem that has been at a standstill will be resolved in a short time.

-But that doesn’t mean things like 8 cylinders, 12 cylinders, or jet engines will come out right away. However, only basic principles and prototypes are required.

-From then on, all you have to do is add plenty of MSG under the pretext of improvement and improvement.

The problem was that as soon as the work began, foreign governments rolled up their sleeves and stepped forward, something that even Hyang had not expected. And Hyang, who analyzed the reason why things happened like this, said it was ‘his own fault.’

And that was true. The proclamation announcing the contest was issued in the name of the emperor, Hyeon, but people could sense the presence of Sun Hyang behind it.

-No one would offer such a large amount of prize money unless the circumstances were right! And if Taesang is worth such a prize, it is worth several times that amount!

-Registering it in the response log means that even the Empire has not found the answer yet! If we find the answer first, it will be proof that we have caught up with the Empire! This is an honor that will last forever!

As this chain reaction occurred, the situation grew bigger.

Hyang, who covered the report, shook his head.

“Is it the glory of the nation or national politics? Why are you so serious? You can either be ahead or behind, but why don’t you know that the problem is what comes next…”

– It’s not important to be the first to discover or invent, but how do you do this? The most important thing is whether you use it properly.

For a fragrance with this way of thinking, these reactions were too extreme.
