Chapter 363
With each exchange between King Sejong and Hyang, the bundles grew larger and larger.
This wasn’t just because of the petty vengeance mixed into the work process.
The main reason for this gradual increase in volume was the problem of mindset and communication.

As Hyang became fully involved in the creation of Hangul, he introduced a large portion of 21st-century grammar and notation systems.
The use of the term “large portion” here was due to the unavoidable issues caused by the time gap between the 21st century and the mid-15th century.
In other words, it was a problem of mindset.
Another obstacle, the communication problem, was an unavoidable issue that arose from conducting everything through written correspondence rather than real-time conversation.
Even when looking at the same sentence, their understanding couldn’t be exactly the same, leading to continuous conflicts. As related points, rebuttals, and counter-rebuttals continued, the volume gradually increased.
