Episode 491: The Great Famine [1]

In fact, the fact that famine is widespread during this period… … .

This is a fact that anyone can notice.

That’s because it’s not something that’s only happening here.

As far as I know, the Irish famine is not far off.

‘Well… … It’s just called a famine, but it’s not like business was particularly good during an average year.’

Have you ever tried something like a weekend farm?

It’s a system where you pay a certain amount of money to the city of Seoul and they lend you a certain amount of land and plant plants there…

Usually, people come in family units.

But I tried it too.

It’s because of our manager.

Everyone thought it was like that until I said, ‘Let’s start a family-like hospital!’

Originally, when you become a new manager, you want to try a medical school that is like family or a medical school that is like a tribe.

‘I’ll just go hiking like everyone else… … .’

However, our manager dreamed of a different kind of medical school than others, and as a result, he applied for a family farm experience at the medical school level.

It would have been much better if we had been given a small farm, but the manager at the time was relatively young and perhaps manic at the thought of becoming a manager, so he gave us the amount according to the actual number of people.

The first two times I went and farmed properly were the only times I went.

The rest were first-year and second-year employees who went to work like dogs.

The meaning of the dog in the beginning and the dog in the end were a bit different.

At first, I acted like a loyal dog, and later, I acted like a dog that entered a dog-like human being.

Nevertheless, when the harvest season came, we were able to harvest much more than we had expected.

It is not because our country’s weather is particularly suitable for farming, nor because our technology is excellent, nor because our soil is good, but because of chemical fertilizers.

“How did you know?”

As I watched the Count ask me this question, I thought about the fertilizers that were being used instead of chemical fertilizers during this time.

The most readily available compost is, of course, human waste.

In Britain as well as in the East, the cheapest and most easily obtainable resource is still humans.

The problem is that human waste doesn’t contain that many nutrients.

Well… … If it’s the feces of someone who eats really, really well, then it’s a little better, but what could be in the feces of someone who can’t even eat?

“Count, do you know my friend Joseph?”

Anyway, I started to really show off my ‘Kura’ skills.

I pride myself on being smart on a regular basis, but strangely, when I try to joke around, I suddenly feel like I’m smarter.

Of course, I don’t know exactly why I brought up Joseph.

But now I have a lot of confidence in myself.

Isn’t it strange that I didn’t do that when I literally came here with just one tongue?

“Ah… … I don’t know.”

“Yes, you probably don’t know yet. But remember him, he’s a pretty good ophthalmologist. Anyway, his father runs a pretty big winery in Upton.”

“Oh, oh, oh. Okay, I see. We sometimes live there for parties.”

“Yes, I thought so.”

It’s a bit sad, but British food doesn’t get a particularly good reputation in Britain.

Especially with wine, you often hear people say, “If you’re going to do this, why waste precious grapes when you could just make beer?”

In fact, compared to French wine, it is so bland that you might wonder if it is really wine.

However, because the color and aroma looked somewhat like wine, and because it was cheap as it had no taste, British wine was used when consumed in large quantities, such as at parties.

“He also does business with Ireland.”

“Ireland…? Are you saying that country bumpkins like that drink wine?”

“Well… … Even in the countryside, there are bound to be people who make money. Don’t you want to imitate England?”

“Well… I guess that’s true.”

“Yes, I often go there because I can get paid almost five times more than here. Anyway, every time I go there and come back, I always talk about Ireland.”

“It’s going to be a mess.”

I think I said this once, but Britain is probably the most racist country in the world.

He really discriminates against everyone but himself.

Ireland is right next door, and in fact, we have been living as one with the British mainland for quite some time, but they discriminate against us like this.

It is not for nothing that Ireland laughed at Britain when Britain did Brexit, saying, “We’re not going to do it?” It can be said that it is all due to this karma.

The problem is that Ireland is a real mess right now.

Of course, it was Britain that provided the cause.

“Yes, it’s a mess. Wasn’t this originally not a place fit for people to live?”

“That’s why there are people who don’t seem human.”

and…….

Our count.

He says things so boldly that no one should hear.

“That’s true. Haha.”

Well, that’s by 21st century standards.

You can say whatever you want here.

Liston also agrees.

“So I just dig up potatoes and eat them… … I heard that the potato crop is in bad shape these days.”

“okay?”

“Yes. I heard there’s a plague going around.”

“It’s a punishment from heaven. Those Irish bastards.”

During this time, a plague was a terrible thing, whether it hit people, potatoes, or anything else.

It’s not easy to cope with this even in the 21st century, so how much harder would it have been in the 19th century?

People will have to die in huge numbers.

Even if a count has had an easy life, he cannot help but know that.

‘What… … You must have had this kind of mindset to do that kind of crap?’

It is by no means the Count’s personal problem.

In fact, isn’t Britain going to do a great deal of trolling in the near future Irish famine?

It’s not just that they didn’t help.

Blocked the relief.

And quite actively, too.

He said that the disaster that has now befallen Ireland is a punishment from heaven.

Because of this, in a land where at most 5 to 6 million people lived, more than 1 million starved to death, and 1 to 2 million Irish people turned their backs on their homeland, so it is no exaggeration to say that a country was literally torn apart.

“The problem is that it’s not just Ireland.”

“Hmm?”

“It’s the same here. When I saw the potatoes at the market earlier… … I could feel the smell of the plague.”

“Huh… … You can also diagnose plant diseases?”

“What is my nickname?”

“He’s an idiot. Huh. I see. He really is an idiot.”

In fact, potatoes are not a staple food in Japan.

As we all know, rice is a staple food.

Of course, in places like Hokkaido with harsh weather and Tohoku, which is part of Honshu and Edo, but is part of northern Japan, potatoes are mainly planted.

Even in the 21st century, if you go to Hokkaido, they produce potatoes as a specialty, sell various kinds of potatoes, and fry them on the spot, which is said to be incredibly delicious.

‘What do they know? What do these ignorant people know?’

In Edo, rice is the staple food.

It is the same now, in the future, and in the past.

In fact, it would be strange to grow anything else in a climate that allows rice to grow.

As long as you supplement with some protein, it is a complete food and requires almost no energy, so you can continue to grow it.

protein?

As we all know, Northeast Asia is the birthplace of soybeans.

There’s a reason why Korea, China, and Japan all eat tofu with soy sauce.

“It’ll be an unstable situation… …so I’ll be more careful. Don’t you think it’ll be dangerous if you get caught like that?”

“Hmm… … That’s right, is that what you’re saying?”

Anyway, I covered up my slip of the tongue with a nice joke.

So I was trying to be satisfied, but the count’s expression seemed unusual.

It was said that he was now starting to have the eyes of a true ‘British person’.

Clearly, he was plotting something bad.

“You know… … the chunks of blue are so big that it’s hard for us to eat them all by ourselves. You know that, right?”

“Yes, those French lynxes have already had a bite.”

“They say the Netherlands is like that too… … .”

“Well… … That’s right. Even if they are the British Empire, it would be absolutely impossible for them to invade Qing territory.”

As I listened to the Count’s words, I suddenly thought of Renya Mutaguchi, a member of the Dark Independence Army.

Even the 19th century British, who ignored everyone but themselves, knew this well, but the famous Japanese general who invaded and destroyed everything…

I’m still grateful when I think about it again.

Anyway, I continued listening.

Even if you are Nana Liston, you have to be careful when someone of the rank of a count speaks.

“But what about here?”

“Here… … ? There doesn’t seem to be anything to miss here… … ?”

“No, that’s not true. I know that Eun is quite expensive. I heard it from a friend who was dispatched to Qing.”

“Aha, yes.”

Now I know.

I heard that silver is quite valuable in Japan.

As it turned out, it was quite a honey pot.

“First of all, isn’t it a small country compared to the Qing?”

“It’s small. The blue is so big.”

“If the situation here is really that difficult… … wouldn’t it be possible to make a treaty that would be much more mutually beneficial than the Qing?”

“Hmm.”

He lies like this without even wiping his mouth.

Mutual?

How many of the treaties Britain has made around the world so far can honestly be called ‘mutual’?

Perhaps, among the colonies, the only one I can talk about is the treaty with the United States.

But… … Isn’t it more common to use words like that when you’re not feeling confident?

Just look at the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

Is there any democracy or people there?

There are only slaves.

“Tiefy Young. You look like them.”

“Oh, right. I guess… … .”

“Wouldn’t it be beneficial for melting?”

“yes?”

“Let’s do some spying. Let’s go to places they can’t go.”

“Me alone?”

At my words, the Count made a face as if to say, ‘So what?’

It was absurd, but when I think about my notoriety, it makes sense.

Even those rough British sailors become docile lambs in front of me.

No, even William IV becomes a good boy in front of me.

but…….

I am not a sorcerer.

To those without faith, he is nothing, just a person.

“I’ll go with you.”

“You stand out so much, don’t you? You just look that way.”

“Among hats, there are some that cover the face?”

“Ah… … Well, that’s true. But it’s still too… … big.”

“If the flat surface is completely exposed, I will look like a bodyguard. And I actually do bodyguards.”

“Hmm… … Anyway, I don’t think you two will play a very important role in the negotiation itself.”

Actually, the two of us are just here to play, so we don’t have to take on this kind of mission.

However, 19th century Britain was a country where patriotism was rampant to the point that 21st century South Korea would be left out.

No matter how much the Renaissance and industrialization took place, the chivalry of the Middle Ages still remains and dominates their ideas.

“Yes, do that. Since you’re just extras, don’t overdo it. If either of you get hurt, I won’t be able to face His Majesty.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“great.”

As soon as I left the Count I asked Liston:

The question was why we continued the conversation in the direction of going out together instead of throwing this away.

Then Liston responded with a face that asked, “What on earth are you talking about?”

“If you stay here, you’re the hostess you mentioned?”

“It’s a parasite.”

“Oh, right. You’ll only meet parasites. I like natural encounters.”

“ah…….”

This kid… … .

He’s not trying to escort me, he’s trying to meet a girl…

The motive was impure, but I didn’t think it would matter.

‘If you feel sexual desire even when you see someone starving to death, are you a human?’

From the beginning, I didn’t think there would be any romance here.
