Black Corporation: Joseon

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.

The typewriter made by Da Vinci was a greatly improved version of the typewriter made by Hyang, but it was a product with a

much different texture. – Since it is a product with a much different texture, it can be considered a separate intellectual property.

Da Vinci’s typewriter was returned along with a written opinion. Hyang stroked his chin and muttered,

“Is this going to make money? Before that… problems that will arise must be resolved in advance.”

Hyang began to write a document to be sent to Hyeon.

-The independence of the judges of the Tribunal is established by law so that not even the emperor can touch it.

-Intellectual Property Management Office’s The same goes for the authoritative interpretation.

– If the current law is insufficient, I think it needs to be revised again.

“That is a valid point.”

Hyun, who received and read Hyang’s document, nodded and called Han Myeong-hoe.

“There is a problem. Since you are a fair person not only to Jim but also to the situation and the situation, something unpleasant will not happen, but you never know what the future holds, right? Please supplement it.”

“….. I follow your orders.”

And the officials of the Intellectual Property Management Office had to be scolded by high-ranking people and members of the review board.

“That! If you’re going to stare at me like that, why are you sitting there? You just have to do it according to the law. According to the law! I already have so much work that I’m dying. I can’t reduce the workload, but I’m just increasing it! ”

“Do you know how many laws and decrees we have to review and decide now? There is a set deadline for everything, and you have to write a written explanation for everything that passes or fails! These are all things that are permanently stored in the archives, so you can’t do them in a hurry! I know I have time left! ”

* * *

As an aside, all decisions on revising and establishing new imperial laws were decided through the review board and ratified by the emperor. And here, Hyang hit Sejong with MSG. “The work of the members of the

review board is very important. It is heavy enough to be compared to the emperor’s maturity.”

“That’s right.”

“As it is a matter related to the lives of the people of the empire, representatives from certain regions are selected to serve as members of the review committee. And he wants to put that much honor and treatment into the first law.”

“That’s right.”

“As time passes, he will only want to be treated well and will not take responsibility. We need a system to prevent this.”

“I see.”

‘

Because of the MSG incense, the members of the review board had to perform their duties arduously.

-There is a set deadline for the revision of laws and ordinances, new establishment, and abolition, and the results are produced according to this deadline. -All members must

perform the task of processing a certain number of laws and ordinances.

-Members who perform the task must write a report on the processing of the tasks they have been assigned and a statement of reasons for their judgment, which are submitted to the records office. It is stored permanently.

-The members of the review committee cannot take charge of revising or abolishing new laws and ordinances regarding the duties and treatment of judges as described above. Only the emperor can make a motion and it must be voted on by all citizens eligible to vote. It can be dealt with.

“Over time, the auditors will turn into parliament. I don’t see the kind of ‘National Defense Lawmakers’ I know coming out.”

* * *

Amid this commotion, Da Vinci’s typewriter was successfully registered as an intellectual property. A few days later, an official from the Intellectual Property Management Office brought the registration certificate, and the fragrance was released. The emissary sent found Area 51.

“Where is Da Vinci? ”

“Wait a moment! ”

The craftsmen who heard Naegwan’s story rushed to find Da Vinci and bring him in.

“It’s been a long time.” When Gwan,

who had traveled all the way to Italy and brought incense with him for a long time, pretended to know, Da Vinci also responded with a bright expression.

“It’s been a long time indeed! But what is going on? ”

“His Majesty Taesang has made a suggestion to you. You said you wanted to invest in making and selling your typewriter.”

“You mean my typewriter? Isn’t there already a store that makes and sells typewriters? Wasn’t there a contract there? ”

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!”
