[한국사] 부정부패가 가득한 썩어빠진 조선, 사람들은 어떻게 버텼을까? | 정사 | 야사

The Land of Incorruptible Officials Was a Lie "Your Majesty, this cannot be!" Joseon, the land of the upright scholars depicted in historical dramas. However, hidden beneath the surface was a shocking truth that textbooks never tell us. The buying and selling of magistrate positions for tens of thousands of nyang. Corrupt officials who robbed the pockets of the common people like hunting dogs to recoup their investment. The clerks who toiled without a single penny in wages and were forced to become thieves. The "Baekgoljingpo," a tax levied on skeletons buried in graves, and the "Hwanggucheomjeong," the military service imposed on newborn infants. And even the true story of **Aejjeolyang**, in which a father, unable to endure this hell any longer, castrated himself, saying, "It is because of this wretched thing of mine." Today's video is brutal. However, this story had to be told. The vitality of the common people who tilled the fields, fed their children, and eventually rose up amidst those tears of blood—that is precisely the DNA flowing within us today.
