Episode 940: The Imperial March 2 – Assault return, running on the ground. (28)
The reason why Hyang created and cared about ‘intellectual property rights’ was not only because of his own greed.
“When people realize that their own ideas or skills can make money and that they can be recognized for sure, they will start to turn their brains around. It’s not like I can know or do everything on my own. “Something I hadn’t thought of could pop up in ces I didn’t even know about.”
For this reason, the township paid special attention to the registration and management of ‘intellectual property rights’.
“And inbination with business…”
And in addition to business, he registered the things he came up with, the things he designed, and the things he made as intellectual property rights.
Starting with the ‘Golden Pen’, all the little things he had touched were registered, making both the Intellectual Property Management Office and the Pocheong referees very nervous and having to work overtime.
Ever since the gold pen was created, there were people who secretly copied it and sold it.
However, after the fragrance was registered on arge scale, a significant number of vitions were reported even though only a light, small-scale investigation was conducted.
The fact that the intellectual property rights were officially registered was because there were more than one person who secretly copied Hyang’s product, which had been steadily upgraded to ‘Crown Prince] Emperor’.
“How dare you secretly steal from His Majesty the Emperor and make a profit? “How is it any different from treason?”
ording to the opinions of the Intellectual Property Management Office and the Pocheong Jury, those caught were treated as those who hadmitted a serious crime equivalent to treason.
As the situation was like this, crooked words soon starteding out about it.
‘Are only His Majesty’s intellectual property rights important?’
“It is natural to take issue with this. “The intellectual property of the people is equally precious!”
Following the decisions made by Sejong and Hyang, intellectual property rights management has be more thorough.
In ordance with the policies of King Sejong and Hyang, people began to appear among the people of the empire who could make money with their own ingenious ideas.
And as time passed, not only individual ‘intellectual property’ but also group ‘intellectual property’ began to be registered.
And this too started with scent.
From the time when gold pens were made through Gungigam, the county distributed a certain amount of shares to the craftsmen.
Afterwards, whenever he registered his new intellectual property with the Intellectual Property Management Office, he registered the artisans who participated in the design and prototype production as partners.
In this way, a considerable amount of the profits brought in through intellectual property rights went to the artisans.
Thanks to this, the artisans who tasted the money became even more loyal to Hyang.
This trend also spread outside. Although they had fresh ideas of their own, theycked manual dexterity. They soon found renowned craftsmen, signed contracts, and turned their ideas into reality.
After registering it as intellectual property, he shared it with his craftsmen when profits arose.
The problem was thatrge and smallwsuits arose over the distribution of profits arising from this process. Eventually, aw was enacted specifying appropriate profit distribution.
As rted systems andws were created andmerce and industry became firmly established in society, the township was able to secure another source of ie.
In the eyes of Hyang, who lived in the extreme capitalist, consumer-centered world of the 21st century, things that could make money were clearly visible.
The royal family invested in items that looked good to people living during this time. On the other hand, he used his own wealth to invest in items that were certain items based on knowledge acquired through learning or searching in the 21st century, but seemed very unfamiliar or reckless to the knowledge and concepts of this period.
It was an investment that was close to gambling, but if sessful, it was an investment that would bring huge profits.
As time went by and the city’s adventurous investments continued to seed with a significant probability, a trend began to spread in the empire’s investment market.
-If someone invests, invest even if it looks like shit. It’s not a lump of shit, it’s a lump of gold. It’s just that your eyes are sick.
When Hyang heard this rumor, he smiled bitterly and muttered.
“I’ve failed in a number of cases… I’ll have to get kicked in the face toe to my senses. Why is there a saying, ‘Investment decisions are at your own discretion’? “I can’t take responsibility.”
As a side note, among those who were rejected for umting wealth through intellectual property was Jang Yeong-sil.
When Hyang came up with an idea or created a basic design, Jang Yeong-sil was the one who not only converted it into a proper blueprint but also supervised the production of a prototype.
Thanks to this, Jang Yeong-sil was the person with the secondrgest stake after Hyang, and through this, he was able to amass a huge amount of wealth. And based on this enormous wealth, he created prototypes and blueprints for things that transcended time and space, which even shocked Hyang.

In any case, he set out to build a ‘hospital for the Swiss army’ by mobilizing the imperial family’s private property and the county, one of the richest people in the empire.
“You took a hit. As expected…”
As soon as the war broke out, Han Myeong-hoe, who heard the story through Hyun, shook his head with a bitter smile.
Lim Sun-wook, who was next to him, also received the words with a simr expression.
“There is nothing to say about the Crown Prince and His Majesty using private property, but he is already spending enormous amounts of wealth for the people of the empire, so even those who like to talk have no choice but to keep their mouths shut….”
As Lim Sun-wook said, incense and the imperial family was also spending a lot on the welfare of the people of the empire.
Creating childcare facilities for orphans and supporting educational expenses was basic. A significant amount of money was also provided for education for the disabled and technical education projects for a stable life.
-It is true that even a country cannot alleviate poverty. However, we must provide at least a way to make a living. This is benevolence, righteousness, and the royal way.
The slogan raised by Sejong became more firmly established as generations passed.
To this end, the Ministry of Finance and Economy allocated a significant budget to the welfare sector, but it was not sufficient.
ordingly, a dedicated organization was created in the name of the emperor and the imperial family to supplement the shorings.
“This is definitely better than in the 21st century…”
As Hyang said, the views of the people of Joseon’s sessive empires towards people with disabilities were ‘extraordinary’pared to the 21st century.
For the people of this period, disability was only a ‘little inconvenience.’ If you had the ability, you could make a ‘good’ living.
“No, now is ‘normal’ and the 21st century was ‘extraordinary’?”

Although the townships and prefectures said they would build a hospital using imperial property and personal property, the most important thing was the people who would fill the hospital.
ordingly, the government posted a promation throughout the empire.
– Urgent need for a doctor!
wmaker?”
“You’re looking for awmaker to go to the far western station over there?”
“You’re giving preference to clinics that treat trauma well?”
The expressions of all the imperial people who read the contents of the promation turned sour.
“We don’t have enough doctors who are good at treating trauma…”
Because the era of differentiation in detail had not yet ended, medicine wasrgely divided into internal medicine and surgery.
The field of surgery was wide, ranging from simple abrasions and sprains to major surgeries that could mean life or death, and there was still a shortage of specialized surgical clinics.
At least, surgical specialists began to be produced through military hospitals established in the mid-Gyeonggi period, and thanks to the Imperial Army Emergency and Trauma Treatment Centers located throughout the empire, this problem was being resolved to some extent.
However, it was notpletely dismantled, so the people expressed their disappointment.
Eventually, the government issued a promation to military clinics and emergency trauma treatment centers located throughout the empire.
“Hmm… ‘I’m in charge of treatment and education.’… Shall we take a look?”
“If the imperial family supports you, you won’t have to worry about sry issues.”
“It’s a problem here, but I don’t think it will happen there, right? “I think it would be nice to be treated rather well.”
As time passed, people with their own dreams and desires began to volunteer one by one.

While these movements were taking ce in the headquarters of the empire and other regions, gunfire was still filling the air in Italy.
In the battle over Pavia, the French army suffered serious losses and had to retreat.
The French army resisted desperately to protect the retreating main camp across the Ticino River and to defend the bridges and ferry ports they had to cross.
The imperial assault force also suffered considerable losses due to the resistance of the French army, which ignored the safety of the citizens of the city of Pavia.
The French army’s resistance copsed when the bypassed imperial armyunched a pincer attack.
As the wall batteries targeting the bypassing imperial army copsed, the imperial army’s bypassing troops entered the city of Pavia.
The French defense forces, caught in the imperial army’s pincer attack, began to copse like sand castles and began a disorderly rout towards the bridge and ferry.
The assault force, highly energized, doggedly clung to the back of the retreating French army.
In the end, the French army that crossed the Ticino River was reduced to 60%pared to when it first entered the city of Pavia.
The French army, which suffered serious losses in men and equipment, did its best to recover its forces and prepare for the imperial army’s reverse crossing.
However, the imperial army did not cross the river right away. No, I couldn’t do it.
This was because the imperial army’s equipment, including assault vehicles, was too heavy. The slender bridge across the Ticino River could not withstand them.
“I should have hurried a bit… Tsk tsk tsk.”
Lee Si-ae, who was taking a bite with a face full of regret, soon corrected her expression.
“It’s unfortunate, but the French army took a big hit, so the set goal was achieved. But we don’t know yet…”
Lee Si-ae, who was thinking about something for a moment, called her aides.
“Call the engineers and tell them to prepare for the river crossing.”
“yes? “The soldiers need maintenance.”
“I know. Just tell them to get ready. “We can’t give those French guys a chance to rest.”
The aide’s face brightened and she responded to Lee Si-ae’s next words.
“All right! If possible, should we prepare the artillery as well?”
“That would be the icing on the cake.”
As the Imperial Engineers and Artillery Corps began to move ording to Lee Si-ae’s orders, the French Army across the street began to be very nervous.
“It looks like the Imperials are trying to cross the river.”
“Can you stop it?”
“The loss of the group’s troops was great, but the problem was that most of the cannons were lost. “We don’t have enough firepower to stop the imperial army from crossing the river.”
“Damn it…”
“We didn’t underestimate it…”
“They were too strong.”
Amidst the abundance ofments and excuses for reflection, the opinions of the generals were gathered.
“Let’s retreat to Turin.”
“I think that would be good. We don’t have enough firepower right now. Even if we try to block it, we will only be wasting our troops.”
“That’s right. “The imperial army is heavy and slow to move, so it is best to retreat to Turin as quickly as possible for rest and maintenance.”
After reaching an agreement, the French generals immediately began moving their troops.
The French army, which seemed to be preparing for defense as noisily as the busy imperial army, escaped towards Turin by taking advantage of the night.
The generals, who were sitting on their horses with confused expressions, looking at the faces of the soldiers beaming with joy at living, looked in the direction of Genoa and muttered.
“The Spanish will have to do it right…”
But when they returned to Turin, the news they heard was despairing.
-Spanish army annihted.
