Black Corporation: Joseon [EN]: Chapter 1098

Overture to Disaster (5)

As soon as the orders were given, the streets of Yukjo overflowed with officials leaving their government offices. Groups of three or five gathered and hurried along, catching the attention of those sitting in the taverns located in Pimagil—now known as Pimatgol.

“Huh? Is it already break time?”

The sight of the officials rushing by raised questions among the patrons. Some, not wanting to miss an opportunity, pulled out their pocket watches to check the time. In this era, watches, especially pocket watches, were considered status symbols and were primarily made in the Empire and Switzerland, making them expensive items.

Thus, the current situation was the perfect moment to casually show off one’s pocket watch. While the customers were curious, the owners of the taverns and restaurants perked up, and the veteran staff sighed quietly.

“Looks like we’ll have a lot of late-night delivery orders starting today.”

“Looks like I won’t be getting to bed early from today onwards.”

“Huh? Weren’t there a lot of late-night orders every day?”

The rookie employee’s interjection prompted a more detailed explanation from a veteran staff member.

“As you said, there were late-night orders every day. But, you see… hmm… let’s say there are ten officials working in Yukjo Street. Until now, only about four out of those ten would work late. But when the officials move like that, you can expect all ten of them to be working late.”

“Heavens… is that certain?”

“Do you know what’s in the direction those officials are heading?”

“Let’s see… the Records Office.”

“If they’re heading to the Records Office in such a large group, then it’s definitely confirmed that everyone will be working late.”

“Wait, the number of government offices and officials in Yukjo Street…”

The rookie employee, counting on his fingers, involuntarily cursed.

“Damn it…”

Seeing his junior curse without realizing it, the veteran staff member lightly patted the rookie’s shoulder.

“Still, the pay is good, so hang in there.”

“…My only joy was having a drink and getting a good night’s sleep…”

The rookie, looking at the officials with a suddenly gloomy face, asked the veteran again.

“But you know, when we go out for deliveries, we hear people grumbling everywhere about how they’re living like slaves, and they walk around looking miserable, but I don’t understand why they stay in their positions.”

“Even like that, when they go to the market, they can walk around with their noses in the air while being called ‘Lord’ [a term of respect]. And that’s not all. They get their stipends regularly.”

“We get paid too, you know.”

“We have to look for a job as soon as the sun rises the next day if we mess up, but officials don’t have to worry about that. And that’s not all. If they start a family, the country even gives them a house. The country manages it thoroughly and gives them a newly built house every 20 years. Women get a year of maternity leave when they give birth. If they bring their child to work, there’s a ‘childcare room’ where skilled nannies take care of the child. And that’s not all? Their spouses can also take maternity leave if needed. More importantly, when they give birth, they receive a congratulatory message written in the Emperor’s own handwriting with the imperial seal, along with congratulatory money. That document alone is something to be treasured for generations, isn’t it? If they work without causing trouble and retire without incident, the country gives them living expenses until they die. Finally, when they die of old age, they even get a burial plot in a national cemetery known for its auspicious location. Would you quit if you were them?”

“I’d stick with it even if they nailed my hat to my head.”

When the officials who had gathered in a large group opened the doors of the Records Office, the official in charge of reception blocked their path.

“Please stop for a moment.”

“Why are you stopping us?”

An official from the General Affairs Department stepped forward to ask on behalf of the gathered officials, and the Records Office staff member handed over a form that had been placed to one side, answering.

“Find the corresponding items in the list written there and write the required number on the application form and submit it.”

“How do you know what we’re looking for?”

“‘Policies and tasks jointly worked on by two or more departments,’ isn’t it?”

“H-How did you know that?”

The Records Office staff member pointed to the rear with a chin gesture and answered.

“People have already come out from Gyeongbok Palace [the main royal palace].”

At the staff member’s answer, the officials all craned their necks to look behind them. There, many eunuchs were searching the indexes and checking whether the requested records were correct. Seeing this, the officials’ expressions became somewhat relieved.

“At least we can breathe a sigh of relief.”

Since the Records Office was established, emperors had been looking up records more frequently. As Hyang had initially said, relying on the memories of veteran ministers had its limits. However, viewing the historical drafts was prohibited by law, and the Seungjeongwon Diary [a detailed record of royal court proceedings] was too voluminous and unorganized to find what was needed.

In this situation, the records organized in the Records Office were very useful. However, as with light, there was darkness, and the eunuchs had to bear the brunt of the work on behalf of the emperor.

“It’s not just the eunuchs who suffer; the officials also have a lot of hardships.”

Hyang, having identified the problem, immediately created and implemented an index system. Thanks to the index system, things became a little easier, but searching was still not an easy task. As a result, the 담당 [in charge] eunuchs became ‘masters of search.’ If the search keywords were clear, the eunuchs quickly found and submitted the records the emperors wanted. Seeing the 담당 eunuchs skillfully finding and bringing the results, Hyang muttered to himself without realizing it.

“Human Google, are you…”

Seeing the relieved officials, the 담당 staff member continued the explanation.

“The list will be updated once more in about one and a half
