200년 금지령을 임금이 깬 이유 — 제주 거상 김만덕의 일생

[Joseon Version of Biographies of the Wealthy, Part 1] Why the King Broke a 200-Year Ban — The Life of Kim Man-deok, a Great Merchant of Jeju In Joseon, there was a ban on leaving the island. Women of Jeju were not allowed to leave the island. It was a national law that no one had been able to break for nearly 200 years. However, King Jeongjo broke that law. For the sake of just one person. That person was Kim Man-deok. A woman who became an orphan at the age of twelve and fell into the life of a gisaeng (female entertainer), but who reclaimed her status on her own and became the greatest merchant in Jeju. When the Great Famine struck in 1794, she emptied her entire life savings to save the starving people of Jeju. Moved, King Jeongjo asked her what her wish was. Her answer was to see Mt. Geumgang once. Today, we will follow her life from beginning to end. We will also examine how the principles of wealth found in the Biographies of Wealthy Merchants operated in 18th-century Joseon Jeju. 📌 Chapters 00:00 Intro — The Woman the King Asked for a Wish 06:00 PART 2 — The Daughter of a Noble Family Becomes a Gisaeng 14:00 PART 3·4 — Opening an Inn and Becoming a Great Merchant 24:00 PART 5·6 — The Great Famine, Giving Up All Fortune 34:00 PART 7·8·9 — Jeongjo’s Summons and Meeting the King 40:00 PART 10·11·12 — The Two Paths of Mt.
