Episode 972
“…Uh…. Jin aww.”
Namgoongun alternately looks at Jin Cheonhee, who is lying face down, and the banner.
The handwriting written in one stroke with a huge brush was the handwriting of someone he was familiar with.
Finally, he patted Jin Cheonhee’s shoulder.
“Cheer up. Jin au.”
Jin Cheon-hee spoke while lying down.
“…yes. “Namgoong, if something is difficult for you, please tell me.”
Namgoongun laughed again at that sight.
There is a spy for the Demonic Cult in my family, and that is my uncle.
As she has been in the Namgung family for a long time… it is impossible to know how far the power of the Demonic Cult extends to the Namgung family.
Namgoongsu, his half-younger brother, is at a loss as to what to do.
As the head of the family, I guess it’s thanks to this guy that I can smile even though it’s a crazy situation.
Paradoxically, Namgoongun captured Jin Cheonhee, who was tearing out her hair, in his field of vision for a long time.
Thinking about what was to come, I needed something to laugh at least a little.
And although Jin never seems to have any intention of being funny, in the end, isn’t he a rather funny person?
‘okay. ‘I’m glad I found out now.’
If the family had been stabbed in the back during a crisis, the Namgung family would have already become a handful of blood.
“Then I’ll cut my taxes.”
“Goodbye. Namgoong hyung.”
Namgoongwoon walks away while whistling.
The back of Namgoong Un seen up close is friendly, but the back of Namgoong Un seen from afar is cold.
Is he even making up his mind?
But from here on, it’s someone else’s family fight.
All Jin Cheon-hee can do is hope that Nam Gung-un finds out the family’s ganja.
Namgoong is a romanticist, but he is also a realist.
Jin Cheon-hee quietly watched him getting further and further away.
I said out loud that something suddenly occurred to me.
“Namgoong hyung—!”
“hmm?”
Namgoongun turns around.
Jin Cheon-hee responded with whole sounds instead of words.
[My younger brother, Ha-ryun, owes me a debt. Ha-Ryun’s kindness is also my kindness, so if you need my help with anything someday, please let me know. I’ll help you if I can.]
[That’s so petty. If I say that I will listen to everything in a cool way, does it matter?]
Jin Cheon-hee said with a bright smile.
[If you ask me to call you Namgung hyung even when I drink from now on, I won’t listen to you.]
Namgungwoon, who was far away, stopped laughing at that laugh.
[I owe a debt to the swordsman who is the greatest confidant in the world and who looks after the county. For some reason, I feel flattered. okay. When that time comes, I would like to ask for a hand.]
[Yes.]
Once a favor has been received, it must be repaid with the same favor.
Isn’t that really Kangho’s fate?
Namgoongun waved his hand from afar and walked away again.
My steps are a little warmer than before.
In a world where you can’t even trust your family, having someone on your side must be like that.
‘Now it’s time for me to go back too.’
Jin Cheonhee sighed again.
‘How should I look at my teacher?’
* * *
When I returned, Yuho said.
“You’re here. ‘Hwalincheonma.’”
Shake it off.
Jin Cheon-hee sat down again.
Then, as if she found her strength, Jin Cheon-hee wakes up. Yuho nodded and spoke again.
“The master is waiting for ‘Hwalincheonma’.”
dump.
I sat down again.
“Hwalincheon…?”
dump!
“A bowman?”
dump!
“bow…?”
Whisk!
Is he not some kind of broken wooden person? He falls down on all fours every time he recites the Hwalincheonma.
Yuho became amused, but decided to endure it anyway.
If things continued like this, he looked like he was two steps ahead, and more importantly, Jegalin was walking behind him.
“Hey, you’re here. okay. How does it feel to come back from ‘Hwalin…’?”
Stand tall.
“…?!”
Jin Cheon-hee stops while lying down.
“I heard the story well. “When I see you after a long time, I feel a lively energy.”
Tall?
I tried to lie down again but stopped.
“Okay, okay. “My wife did another ‘Hwalin’ and changed the ‘Cheon…’ energy.”
Wow tall?
Zhugelin teased his disciple for such a long time.
Jin Cheon-hee also had to do some awkward core exercises.
Until the Master gets sick of it.
continue.
* * *
How much do you know about Master and Yuho?
First of all, it didn’t seem like he knew the entire conversation, like a wiretap.
‘It seems like there’s some condition…’
It’s clear that clay is an important medium.
If you think about it, if one of the witnesses has ties to Baekrin Uigak, a letter could be sent.
As he saves people, does Yuho’s power become stronger little by little? Since it looked like that, I thought it might have some effect as well.
Anyway…
‘Master Hu… Yuho… Ugh… I ended up revealing something I didn’t want to know… It’s painful.’
The Master loves to see his disciples embarrassed.
After teasing him a few times, he seemed to be satisfied and took a sip of tea.
“okay. The biggest problem right now is that the Demonic Cult is spreading magical books. “Do you have anything in mind?”
“Something came to mind when I met Namgung.”
Jin Cheon-hee began to tell her plan with sparkling eyes.
“You still have crazy ideas. But… the opposite sex is saying it will work….”
Kang-ho’s plan was out of the ordinary.
However, this time too, Jegalin’s brain was saying, ‘It is possible.’
“Feel so good. “Try it.”
Permission was granted.
Jin Cheon-hee headed straight to the printing office.
* * *
Woodblock printing is said to be old enough to date back to BC.
In the first place, the seal itself is a type of type printing.
Therefore, woodblock printing technology of course exists in this world.
But it wasn’t very widespread.
Firstly….
‘Because the illiteracy rate is as high as ninety percent.’
People of this era prioritized plowing the fields, sowing seeds, and working rather than learning letters.
Parents who can support their children to learn to read by sewing day and night are so rare that they are almost impossible to find.
Usually, earning a living comes first rather than studying.
So did he.
Although slavery was abolished and people were selected regardless of social status.
Still, in the end, it is a society where classes are clearly defined depending on which spoon one was born with.
Because we know that the chance of a poor person passing the civil service exam and becoming a government official is like falling through the eye of a needle.
Nevertheless, it is a beautiful story because the parents who teach writing are amazing.
Usually, people do not learn writing.
And even if you don’t learn it, there is no problem in living.
Even in our grandmother’s generation, many people lived without knowing Hangul and only learned to read after going to a senior school.
It’s natural in this era.
And one more thing.
There is a culture in which the 10% who know how to write think that writing written by a master writer is more valuable than printed matter.
Of course, printed materials exist in this day and age, and they can be printed in large quantities as needed.
There are such printing shops, but it feels different from printing a book through a printing house, as in modern Earth.
‘Plus, there’s another culture that’s unique to Kangho.’
Like iron-making technology, the technology gap in woodblock printing varies from region to region under the name Biinbujeon.
Even with the same woodblock printing technology, the know-how accumulated is different, so the quality of prints produced this way varies.
‘That’s why, in order to solve a large number of magic books, someone had to copy them by hand.’
And in most cases, the one that ‘looks like it is’ would have looked better.
The perception that the self-writing method mentioned earlier is considered more sophisticated.
By modern people’s standards, that may seem like a big deal, but in this day and age, books are truly a luxury item and a collectible.
There is no crazy person who stamps his or her grades with a wooden block.
‘Someone even copied the Samjaebobeop in the middle of nowhere and it’s being passed around.’
But here it is.
The guy who tried to print the big class using woodblock printing.
‘okay. It can be said that Baekrin-gun’s printing house is the best in the empire.’
Especially medical books… or, to use the expression here, medical books must of course include illustrations, so it would be impossible to draw them all by hand.
So it is made with woodblocks.
Since even the detailed parts of the human body had to be expressed, the technology for producing and stamping woodblocks was by far the best.
The level of the printing craftsmen was also considerable.
‘Since medical records are possible in the first place, I am taking pictures and sending medical reports using this, I am taking pictures and sending cookbooks from time to time, and I am also taking pictures and sending technical books and other things that people call miscellaneous books.’
They even print and sell children’s fairy tales and novels about villains.
‘The reason this is possible is because the unit price of paper has been greatly reduced. This may be because transportation in Baeklin County and the entire Jiangsu Province was developed so that books photographed in that way could be sold.’
You might wonder how big Jiangsu Province is, but since it is about the size of South Korea, the consumer market is also large.
The number of people living in Jiangsu Province alone is in the millions.
In addition, since there were no X-tubes or mobile games, there were only a few entertainment options for people.
In the past, as a test, I put a crossword puzzle on the back of the clothing and it sold like crazy.
Perhaps that is why the illiteracy rate in Baeklin County has decreased significantly.
At one point, it fell below 40%, but as Baekrin County expanded into a county, it soared again.
It’s currently fluctuating around the 50% level.
This alone can be considered a tremendous achievement.
Compared to other regions, as many as 40% of people here can’t write, but at least they know how to read.
Such a printing house.
“What did you bring this time? Lord Incinerator?”
Director of Baekrin Printing Company.
Baek Heo-ran asks.
Baek Heo-ran is a craftsman and typesetter who loves all the books in the world, and turning them into woodblocks is the world’s greatest pleasure.
The printing manager continued.
“The children’s book you gave me last time was quite popular, so I’m planning to reprint it.”
“Oh really?”
“yes. Above all, the book is cheap because it is short. “They say there are a lot of reviews saying that kids like to peel off the 1,000-character pattern.”
Jin Cheon-hee scratched his head as if he was embarrassed.
“What is it this time? As expected, as usual? Or a textbook? “It’s also good as a cookbook.”
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“…No public policy.”
“yes?”
The printing manager was dumbfounded and asked back.
“No public policy.”
“…?”
I dug into my ears to see if I heard something wrong.

Woodblock printing.
In fact, woodblock printing has many inconveniences.
Wooden board.
If you interpret the text, it means a board made of wood… What is a plate?
Isn’t the wide, flat shape called a plate?
Yes.
A woodblock is a form of engraving text or pictures on a single board.
It is quite difficult to manufacture, and problems arise in many ways during printing.
That is why letterpress printing technology emerged.
Each letter is engraved separately, and when printed, the pieces are put together as if they were assembled!
With further development, metal movable type was created…
Surprisingly, the world’s first metal movable type came from Korea.
Because it was invented in Goryeo in the 13th century!
Jin Cheon-hee didn’t even make such a metal type.
The advanced level of wooden type printing technology of this era had already been passed down through great effort.
Rather than being pressed by hand, the machine presses the paper by turning the handle, as if squeezing grapes.
The ink used is also oil-based, not water-based.
The Gutenberg method was applied.
This way, there is no need to worry about touching the printing plate one by one and pressing it evenly.
In addition, the strength of the wooden board was not as strong as that of the metal board, so I was prepared to do it, but the craftsmen of this powerhouse did something and blocked the swordsman’s sword with the wooden board.
After seeing that there were no scratches, I asked him what he did.
Originally, the wood used to make Buddhist sutras was cut down from Yeongsan Mountain, dried, carved, and treated with a special glaze.
It is said that if a craftsman who does not kill or eat meat for a month does this with a pious heart, the wooden board becomes harder than iron.
It is said that these woodblocks do not crack even if they are made for a long time.
‘At first I thought this was some bullshit.’
However, it seems that they have underestimated this world where faith is real.
When I had them sharpen fonts other than Buddhist scriptures, the strength was indescribable even though they were not really made of steel.
Of course, it is a bit weaker than cutting Buddhist scriptures.
It seems like there was less faith.
‘Just by glazing the wood that grows in Yeongsan, it was very hard.’
However, it is a bit weaker because it does not involve faith at all.
for that reason.
A collaboration between Earth’s Printing History and Joongwon World’s kiiiiiii.
Baekrin Printing’s printing technology is the best in the country. The production volume is also overwhelming!
‘It sounds crazy, but it actually happened.’
Taking advantage of this overwhelming production capacity, they recruited additional employees and began producing military books with all their might by running them in three shifts.
What Jin Cheon-hee wanted to do was simple.
Printing the Infinite Lotus Flower Fan Heart Gong (無量蓮華梵心功) in large quantities and distributing it to rivers and lakes.
Infinite Lotus Flower Beomsimgong (無量蓮華梵心功).
This is not a Qigong, but rather a mental exercise that calms the mind, and its origins lie in the Seojang region, where the Serim Kingdom and the Damjin Kingdom are located.
This deep drill, derived from ancient Buddhism, has amazing efficacy.
Immediately, it transforms all of Lee Jong-jin’s energy into the Buddha energy of Panshim Gong!
In other words, even if you learn magic, it has an amazing effect that prevents you from being possessed or going crazy.
That doesn’t mean, ‘It removes the side effects of magic and makes you as strong as a dog with the crazy growth speed unique to magic!’ It’s not like this.
This is because the absolute amount of demonic energy is completely reduced as it changes into Buddha energy.
‘in other words. If you learn magic and learn this, you will become a teacher.’
It’s better to learn this on your own than to learn magic!
This is because this is also a martial art belonging to the Shingongjeolhak.
“Really? Are you going to print this in bulk and sell it?”
The printing director looked on in astonishment.
“Ah, yes. It’s a bit much to give it away for free like a magic book, so I’m thinking of selling it for some money.”
It was the craziest sound I had ever heard in my entire life.
