Abstract

Peasants’ struggle of 1862 across the three southern provinces shocked the bureaucrats in the government and intellectuals in the country. Although the movements of individual bureaucrat or intellectual were little known, material of Yi Hwi Joon who was a central bureaucrat from Yeongnam relatively was left a lot. Yi Hwi Joon, the offspring of Yi Hwang, passed civil service examination late in his age and held office around three censoring offices. After the peasants’ struggle of 1862, Yi Hwi Joon played an active part in the central officialdom. When the peasants’ struggle in Jinjoo broke out in 1862, Park Gyoo Soo who was dispatched as a specially empowered inspector brought up responsibility of gentlemen and elders of Yeongnam by sending an official literature. Critical opinion about Park was agitated in both the central officialdom and gentlemen of Yeongnam. One of representative memorials was the thing under the joint signature of bureaucrats from Yeongnam. Yi Hwi Joon was the actual author of it. He reacted thoroughly to the Park’s literature article by article. Since then, Yi Hwi Joon presented his attention to how to resolve the peasants’ struggle as a Yeongnam gentleman over the criticism against Park. When the government collected problem essay, he participated aggressively in that invitation to present his stance and policy. Yi Hwi Joon developed his claim to the king’s problem essay. He especially presented the way to manage a government storehouse after putting total amount of grain loan in order. He proposed another tax charging way named ‘Baeakjing’ instead of implementing the grain loan as taxation. Yi Hwi Joon’s memorial of three levies was his personal writing, but he particularly took pains to write his memorial.
