Chapter 389
June, 15th year of King Sejong’s reign (1433, Year of Gyechuk).
At the threshold of summer, new notices were posted on bulletin boards in government offices across Joseon.
“Huh? A new official document?”
“I hope it’s about a discount event at the government monopoly store…”
“That would be nice! It’s been quiet lately, hasn’t it?”
As people gathered in front of the bulletin board, exchanging half-joking, half-serious conversations, they began to read the official document.
“Let’s see… Uh… ‘Notice of Civil Service Examination System Reform’? Looks like they’re changing the examination system?”
“Ah! This has nothing to do with me.”
“That’s right. I wish they’d have a discount event at the government monopoly store instead.”
