How could you become Grand Commander then? 116 00:12:13,086 --> 00:12:19,060 That's because I had someone I wanted to serve and a woman I wanted to protect. 117 00:12:19,527 --> 00:12:23,243 I had to work hard to become a man who could do both of those things. 118 00:12:25,350 --> 00:12:28,190 Now let's start from the beginning! 119 00:12:30,781 --> 00:12:33,300 Don't just sit there!

The merchants are still refusing to accept Qing coins? 236 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:16,405 Yes, even though we are arresting the counterfeits, they are refusing to accept the Qing coins. 237 00:28:19,387 --> 00:28:25,559 The problem is trust. They have a deep-rooted distrust of the Qing coins. 238 00:28:26,046 --> 00:28:32,053 But their actions will affect the Capital's economy. This may in turn affect the nation! 239 00:28:32,088 --> 00:28:37,314 What do you think about putting a halt to the use of Qing coins? 240 00:28:37,931 --> 00:28:40,878 What are you talking about?
