Chapter 504
“Pardon? That’s…”
When not only Ha Wi-ji but also Seong Sam-mun and Gwon Ram showed perplexed expressions, Lee Chun spoke up in place of Hyang.
“Before the Reforms, Ming and the Westerners might have had more advanced technology than us, but now we’ve surpassed them.”
At Lee Chun’s words, Gwon Ram spoke up.
“But the Westerners are also familiar with gunpowder weapons. Won’t such people catch up quickly?”
Lee Chun immediately answered Gwon Ram’s question, his voice rising slightly, apparently frustrated by the four’s response.
“Have you forgotten what His Highness just said? With Western affairs changing by the day, do you think they have the luxury to leisurely refine their technology?”
“However, isn’t it human nature to try to catch up when they get their hands on something better than their own weapons?”
When Seong Sam-mun argued against Lee Chun’s point, Hyang stepped in.
