The German jokes he is the Kaiser, and the tale ends with admiration for the ruler who is misjudged by many.

Finance in Korea and the Emperors Revenue Tricks
Alfred Stead in Harper's Magazine depicts Li Hal the emperor of Korea as a distant ruler who rarely leaves his palace. His annual Seoul progress costs up to 100000 yen for a day, plus lavish emblems and champagne, with much of the funds allegedly misappropriated. The article also details a revenue scheme through coinage patents and periodic stoppages to demand repayments, plus foreign concessions that often enrich officials and courtiers at the crown princes' expense.
