Black Corporation: Joseon

Chapter 26: Winds of Change (4)

Hi there! My name is Kirara and as you might have guessed, I absolutely adore everything that sparkles. My love for reading webnovels and light...

The scale of the event had become larger than expected, which made Hyang swear, but he had to accept the reality.

Reviving memories of the lessons and assignments from the 21st century, Hyang stared at the papers with the things he thought were important and soon nodded his head.

“Great! Now, let me show the people the taste of… no, capitalism and modern administrative organization!”

The next day, as soon as the sun rose, Hyang moved busily. He went to the Painting Bureau to order the production of hanging banner, and to the Military Arsenal to order the production of loudspeakers. The blueprint presented by Hyang made the head blacksmith scratch his head.

“It looks just like a funnel.”

“It’s similar. Will it take a long time to complete?”Updated from n0v𝒆lbIn.(c)o/m

“I’ll have it ready by evening.”

“Thank you.”

After completing the physical preparations for the presentation, Hyang diligently searched through classics and Western books.

“To reshape the systems of the 21st century into the 14th and 15th-century Eastern and Western world, and launder the origin through the classics of Confucianism…”

As he was organizing how to structure the presentation, Hyang circled the word ‘small government.

“If there’s a Q&A session, controversy will arise here, and if there’s no Q&A, this is the part where they will bombard with memorials. To be honest…” Hyang trailed off, leaning against the chair back and stretching. “Ugh!”

“Your Highness! What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

After inadvertently letting out a strange sound while stretching, Hyang sent the frightened inner servants away and muttered under his breath, “Damn! Being a prince is great on everything else, but this is the problem. There’s no privacy, no privacy…”

Grumbling, Hyang tapped the circled ‘small government’ with his finger and continued speaking, “In the 21st century, the so-called classic ‘small government’ would be seen as a ‘terrifyingly large government’ by these nobles.”

As Hyang pondered while tapping the problematic word with his finger, he made a decision. “I have no choice but to point out this issue and move on. Otherwise, nothing will change, and it will go back to the messed-up Joseon I knew.” With determination, Hyang began organizing the structure. “Let’s put off the military-related issues for now. It’s certain that if I talk about it all at once, it’ll be buried…”

As he put off the military issue, Hyang looked at the map hanging in the study. “Anyway, there’s going to be a huge event next year…”
