Kim Chil was startled. He momentarily didn't know what to think.
What was the King talking about? Since when was a foreign envoy's visit able to help the people with their everyday lives? Could it actually lower their taxes or help them survive through the hardships or their lives?
That was something unheard of before. It was no wonder Kim Chil was skeptical in believing the King's words.
The rest of the men gathered there were just as confused as Kim Chil. They glanced at each other, before ultimately raising their eyes to look at the King.
In the end, it was still the old Chief State Councillor who had the courage to speak up.
"Your Majesty, could you share your thoughts with us? I'm afraid we cannot understand Your Majesty's plan."
"Oh, but it's simple." King Sejo replied airily. "I'm simply planning on making the envoy an offer he can't refuse."
