3
00:00:39,950 --> 00:00:42,512
(You Think Your Great Clans
Are That Great?)

4
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,919
They are eyeing the glaze workshop.

5
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,080
This is an open challenge.

6
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:49,000
It's just the sale of a little glaze.

7
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,240
Is it really that serious?

8
00:00:50,250 --> 00:00:52,599
If they wanted to handle regional sales,
they should have come to me.

9
00:00:52,599 --> 00:00:53,900
I would have just given it to them.

10
00:00:53,919 --> 00:00:55,759
But now they're using the clans' power.

11
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,080
In the business world,

12
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,600
I've always welcomed everyone
from all over the world.

13
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,760
Whether we can strike
a deal is another story.

14
00:01:02,199 --> 00:01:03,239
But look at them.

15
00:01:03,839 --> 00:01:05,920
They bypassed me to
pressure the Clan Leader.

16
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,640
They even want to teach me a lesson?

17
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:10,320
Just them?

18
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:13,440
They aren't worthy.

19
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,280
Then, how about

20
00:01:16,439 --> 00:01:17,799
mentioning this to Her Highness?

21
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:18,439
No need.

22
00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:19,119
Aunt,

23
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:20,960
go to the Clan Leader's house now.

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,159
Tell them I'm coming...

25
00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:26,560
I'll go to the Clan Leader's house.

26
00:01:26,759 --> 00:01:28,479
If a fight breaks out,

27
00:01:28,479 --> 00:01:29,759
it'll be the Clan Leader's
house getting trashed.

28
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,200
I'll just pay for the damages.

29
00:01:32,479 --> 00:01:33,600
Don't be reckless.

30
00:01:34,039 --> 00:01:36,359
You have no idea how
powerful these great clans are.

31
00:01:36,679 --> 00:01:37,719
Aunt,

32
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,359
I am a Lord.

33
00:01:39,359 --> 00:01:40,240
What is there to fear?

34
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,640
Should I let them bully me?

35
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:46,000
When you arrive tomorrow,

36
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,519
don't go looking for trouble.

37
00:01:47,519 --> 00:01:49,079
Just listen to what they have to say.

38
00:01:49,519 --> 00:01:51,719
The connection between
these great clans is very tight.

39
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:53,390
We can't afford to offend them.

40
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,040
As long as they don't provoke me.

41
00:01:55,799 --> 00:01:58,200
Either way, I'm not someone
to be trifled with.

42
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:01,879
You're here.

43
00:02:02,319 --> 00:02:03,000
Sit.

44
00:02:05,599 --> 00:02:06,599
Since everyone is here,

45
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,760
let's speak openly.

46
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,280
It was indeed a mistake
by a member of our Wei clan

47
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,599
not to inform you in advance.

48
00:02:15,239 --> 00:02:15,920
However,

49
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,680
now that Wei Hao is here,

50
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,480
it means he is willing to talk.

51
00:02:20,079 --> 00:02:21,879
If you have any suggestions,

52
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,159
feel free to speak up.

53
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:24,879
This matter

54
00:02:25,079 --> 00:02:26,840
is actually a small thing.

55
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:28,439
A small thing?

56
00:02:29,799 --> 00:02:30,680
Clan Leader Wei,

57
00:02:31,359 --> 00:02:33,640
do you know how much profit can be made

58
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,040
by selling this glaze elsewhere?

59
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:40,040
I really don't know.

60
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,840
The glaze from the capital,

61
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,190
when transported to the South,

62
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:45,040
the price immediately
rises by 20 percent.

63
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:46,599
Transport it to the North,

64
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:47,719
and it's 30 percent.

65
00:02:47,719 --> 00:02:49,079
If it's taken to Wanzhou,

66
00:02:49,239 --> 00:02:50,640
the price doubles.

67
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:52,840
Those Hu merchants

68
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,120
take the glaze to the grasslands,

69
00:02:55,159 --> 00:02:57,000
and the profit is at least three times.

70
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:58,159
Three...

71
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:00,120
All of our clans have
caravans to the grasslands.

72
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,719
Although we don't go often,

73
00:03:02,199 --> 00:03:04,039
we go at least once a year.

74
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,159
If we were the ones
selling the glaze there,

75
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:09,719
how massive

76
00:03:10,439 --> 00:03:12,319
would the profit be, you think?

77
00:03:12,759 --> 00:03:15,199
It's actually that profitable?

78
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:16,280
Exactly.

79
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,439
Wei Hao can produce 30,000 guan

80
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,800
worth of glaze in a single kiln.

81
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,960
If we take all of it to the grasslands,

82
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,280
we could bring back
at least 120,000 guan.

83
00:03:32,719 --> 00:03:34,120
That much?

84
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:36,319
Wei Hao,

85
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,280
how much can we have

86
00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:40,159
of this batch?

87
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,159
This batch?

88
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,159
Yes.

89
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,199
You finished two kilns yesterday,

90
00:03:44,199 --> 00:03:45,800
and there's another kiln tomorrow.

91
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:46,919
Is that right?

92
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,479
For this batch, I've already
promised the first four kilns

93
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,960
to the Hu merchants.

94
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,319
The fifth kiln is for
the local merchants.

95
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,319
You can take

96
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,199
the fifth kiln.

97
00:03:56,199 --> 00:03:59,240
You'd rather give it to
the Hu merchants than us?

98
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,680
Well, it's first-come, first-served.

99
00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:04,439
All I can say is,

100
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,879
as for selling in your clans' territory,

101
00:04:07,159 --> 00:04:08,439
I can grant you that.

102
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:09,840
But this batch of goods

103
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:12,159
is not included this time.

104
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:13,759
(He's being so patient.)

105
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,560
(It seems he took my words to heart.)

106
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:16,800
No matter what,

107
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,680
you must give us fifty
percent of this batch.

108
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,319
Only then can this matter be settled.

109
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,290
Otherwise, don't blame
the great clans for punishing you.

110
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,240
All crap.

111
00:04:30,599 --> 00:04:31,680
Who do you think you are,

112
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:32,439
punishing me?

113
00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:33,840
Who the heck are you to punish me?

114
00:04:34,159 --> 00:04:34,960
You...

115
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,120
You...

116
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,199
"You" what?

117
00:04:37,439 --> 00:04:38,319
Let me tell you,

118
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:39,560
I only came to talk today

119
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:40,960
out of respect for the Clan Leader.

120
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,520
For the sake of
the great clans' interests,

121
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,319
I've already yielded
several areas to you,

122
00:04:44,439 --> 00:04:46,159
yet you still want a 50 percent cut?

123
00:04:46,159 --> 00:04:47,840
What kind of thing are you?

124
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:49,039
Do you believe that I...

125
00:04:49,039 --> 00:04:49,840
Clan Leader Wei.

126
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:51,000
Hao...

127
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:51,840
Aunt, don't stop me.

128
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:52,960
Hao...

129
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,199
- Don't be impulsive.
- What a joke.

130
00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:54,759
Sit down and talk.

131
00:04:54,759 --> 00:04:55,400
Fine, fine.

132
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,080
Sit down.

133
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,839
Well, he has a bit of
an impulsive personality.

134
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,480
Don't lower yourselves to his level.

135
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:03,519
Aunt,

136
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,480
you don't need to mind them.

137
00:05:07,090 --> 00:05:08,860
What are you acting
all high and mighty for?

138
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,759
"Great clans' interests?"

139
00:05:10,759 --> 00:05:11,759
"Must?"

140
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,199
I've never even heard of such things.

141
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:14,959
Now that you've spoken,

142
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,680
I agreed, but you still won't drop it.

143
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,079
Fine.

144
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,439
I'm not giving

145
00:05:21,079 --> 00:05:22,720
those areas to you anymore.

146
00:05:22,959 --> 00:05:24,959
I want to see what you can do to me.

147
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:26,439
This...

148
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:28,600
Wei Hao,

149
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:29,720
since that's the case,

150
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,439
we won't negotiate with you.

151
00:05:31,439 --> 00:05:32,319
Then don't.

152
00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:33,360
Wait...

153
00:05:33,370 --> 00:05:34,880
You think your great clans
are that great?

154
00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:35,959
Don't push me.

155
00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:37,560
If you push me, within ten years,

156
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:38,680
I'll wipe out your great clans.

157
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:39,639
What are you posing for?

158
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,560
Wipe out our great clans?

159
00:05:47,439 --> 00:05:49,439
You're quite the big shot, huh?

160
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,279
I forgot you are now
a Lord of the current dynasty.

161
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,480
Aside from

162
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,720
Dukes, Commandery Dukes,
and County Dukes,

163
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,300
Commandery Marquises,
and County Marquises,

164
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:06,040
all that's left is you,
the Dynasty-Founding County Lord.

165
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,319
Even without the title of Lord,

166
00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:12,000
I'll still take you down.

167
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,199
Stop being a Lord anymore, then!

168
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,120
How dare you say you
will strip our Lord title

169
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,160
here in the Wei ancestral home?

170
00:06:19,399 --> 00:06:21,720
Is this the authority
your Clan Leader gave you?

171
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,680
We can decide

172
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,160
matters in the capital.

173
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:29,639
Can you decide

174
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,600
the relationship between the two clans?

175
00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:36,439
You actually dare to threaten me
with the relationship between our clans?

176
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,950
The Clan Leader has
finally grown a backbone.

177
00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:42,240
Fine.

178
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,079
Clan Leader Wei,

179
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,160
since Wei Hao

180
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:49,839
doesn't understand
the rules of our great clans,

181
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,680
if you don't teach him,
someone else will.

182
00:06:55,199 --> 00:06:56,160
But Wei Hao,

183
00:06:58,199 --> 00:06:59,279
Lord Wei,

184
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,439
I believe it won't be long

185
00:07:01,439 --> 00:07:02,759
before you come looking for us.

186
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,759
At that time, it won't be
just 50 percent of the goods.

187
00:07:07,439 --> 00:07:09,319
You'll have to beg us

188
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,800
to accept a 50 percent
share of your glaze workshop.

189
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:14,879
I'll fix that mouth of yours first.

190
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:15,439
Hao.

191
00:07:15,439 --> 00:07:15,959
Don't stop me.

192
00:07:15,959 --> 00:07:17,380
I've been sick of him for a long time.

193
00:07:17,399 --> 00:07:18,399
Are you even great clans?

194
00:07:18,399 --> 00:07:19,480
You're robbers.

195
00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:20,920
You think you're so great?

196
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,560
This fool is out of his mind. Let's go.

197
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:23,279
Don't run!

198
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,639
Bring on whatever you've got!

199
00:07:25,639 --> 00:07:27,160
Do you think I was born yesterday?

200
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,160
All right.

201
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:33,800
Clan Leader,

202
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:35,759
is there really such a rule?

203
00:07:35,759 --> 00:07:38,199
Does our workshop really
have to give them 50 percent?

204
00:07:38,319 --> 00:07:40,480
Fifty percent?
They're asking for too much.

205
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,639
However, the great clans
do take a 30-percent share.

206
00:07:44,399 --> 00:07:45,519
Our Wei clan

207
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,319
only has influence in the capital area.

208
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:50,879
Once you leave the capital,

209
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,160
we have none.

210
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,439
The other great clans
are even more powerful.

211
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,000
They control a large
number of officials.

212
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:03,040
The number of Wei
clan sons in the imperial court

213
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,800
is only about fifty or so.

214
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:09,720
We simply cannot compare to them.

215
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,040
Hao,

216
00:08:13,399 --> 00:08:14,040
let's

217
00:08:14,279 --> 00:08:16,160
just give them 30 percent.

218
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,800
I'd rather close the glaze workshop

219
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,040
than give it to them.

220
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,839
The world doesn't just belong
to those few clans.

221
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,560
They already control the court.

222
00:08:24,570 --> 00:08:26,590
Do they want to control
all the world's wealth too?

223
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,279
Wei Hao,

224
00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:30,839
a Lord is nothing

225
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,720
in their eyes.

226
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,720
They have many ways to deal with you,

227
00:08:36,199 --> 00:08:38,839
like having His Majesty
strip you of your title.

228
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:39,920
Even

229
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,079
imprisonment is not impossible.

230
00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:44,839
I think

231
00:08:45,399 --> 00:08:49,959
petitions for your impeachment
will be sent up this afternoon.

232
00:08:51,759 --> 00:08:53,000
Impeaching me this afternoon,

233
00:08:53,759 --> 00:08:55,240
and they still want my goods?

234
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,199
In their dreams.

235
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,079
If they impeach me,

236
00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:02,160
as for my glaze,

237
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,580
those great clans won't have
a chance to sell a single piece.

238
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,759
I'd rather smash it all.

239
00:09:09,279 --> 00:09:09,879
I'm leaving.

240
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:13,040
Hao.

241
00:09:16,220 --> 00:09:17,320
You still have an appetite?

242
00:09:19,799 --> 00:09:21,080
It looks like we won't be able

243
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,200
to keep our glaze workshop.

244
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,600
The great clans want to buy
a 50-percent share,

245
00:09:24,919 --> 00:09:26,720
and they said if I don't,
I'll be in for it.

246
00:09:27,020 --> 00:09:28,639
Who knows how many impeachment petitions

247
00:09:28,639 --> 00:09:29,960
have already reached His Majesty?

248
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,759
The people from those great clans
have some nerve.

249
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,279
How dare they try to steal our things!

250
00:09:34,519 --> 00:09:35,840
I just went to talk to them.

251
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,240
If my aunt hadn't stopped me,
I would've beaten them up.

252
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:39,519
They even said

253
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,080
I'd eventually be begging
them to buy our shares.

254
00:09:43,799 --> 00:09:45,039
Arrogant, indeed.

255
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,639
So darn arrogant.

256
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,080
If they push me too far,

257
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,799
within ten years,

258
00:09:49,799 --> 00:09:51,279
I'll wipe out those great clans.

259
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,840
(The great clans are
a thorn in Father's side.)

260
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:55,720
(But right now, Great Yong)

261
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,159
(has no choice but to rely on them.)

262
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:58,480
Fool,

263
00:09:59,159 --> 00:10:01,039
wipe out the great clans
within ten years?

264
00:10:01,050 --> 00:10:02,990
Do you even know what
the great clans represent?

265
00:10:03,159 --> 00:10:03,960
What's there to fear?

266
00:10:04,860 --> 00:10:06,879
Isn't it just that commoners
have no books to read?

267
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,540
Doesn't the Imperial Family
have plenty of books?

268
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:09,990
Give them to me, and I'll print them.

269
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,190
I'll make sure everyone
in the world has books to read.

270
00:10:12,639 --> 00:10:13,440
Wei Hao,

271
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:14,639
printing?

272
00:10:14,879 --> 00:10:16,720
Do you know how much printing costs?

273
00:10:16,730 --> 00:10:18,280
That's because they don't understand it.

274
00:10:21,039 --> 00:10:21,840
So now,

275
00:10:21,919 --> 00:10:22,960
what do we do?

276
00:10:24,159 --> 00:10:24,799
It's fine.

277
00:10:25,279 --> 00:10:25,919
Don't worry.

278
00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:26,759
I'll protect you.

279
00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:27,879
You'll protect me?

280
00:10:28,919 --> 00:10:31,200
You'd better help me figure out
how to find His Majesty

281
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,639
and have him intervene for us.

282
00:10:34,759 --> 00:10:35,320
Girl,

283
00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:36,240
tell me,

284
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:37,320
what if we

285
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,360
give a 30-percent share to those Dukes?

286
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:41,360
Would that work?

287
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:42,960
With the Dukes involved,

288
00:10:43,050 --> 00:10:44,919
those great clans
wouldn't dare sue us, right?

289
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:45,919
No.

290
00:10:46,220 --> 00:10:47,279
What do you mean by "no"?

291
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,559
You stingy brat.

292
00:10:49,560 --> 00:10:50,879
With just me and
a penniless princess like you,

293
00:10:50,879 --> 00:10:52,190
how could we protect this fortune?

294
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,039
Dream on.

295
00:10:53,159 --> 00:10:53,960
Do you know

296
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,200
how much profit the glaze workshop
makes in a year?

297
00:10:56,519 --> 00:10:57,679
You dead fool.

298
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,720
You're the stingy one, you cheapskate.

299
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,200
You're going to be the death of me.

300
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:02,720
Anyway, I'm not giving it.

301
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,399
If you want to give, use your own share.

302
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:06,240
Fine.

303
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:07,759
Let's eat first.

304
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,559
After dinner,
I'll go check the glaze workshop.

305
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:10,240
And you?

306
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,360
Try to find a way

307
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:12,399
for me to see His Majesty.

308
00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:13,759
I really can't hold out much longer.

309
00:11:13,759 --> 00:11:14,559
Father,

310
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,000
someone is bullying Wei the Fool.

311
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:16,759
What do you mean?

312
00:11:18,159 --> 00:11:20,120
Regarding our imperial glaze workshop,

313
00:11:20,130 --> 00:11:21,990
the great clans want to
take a 50-percent stake.

314
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,519
Wei the Fool didn't agree,

315
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,799
so they threatened to send him to prison

316
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,600
and told him he'd have
to beg them for mercy.

317
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:28,919
Father,

318
00:11:29,159 --> 00:11:30,879
the great clans have gone too far.

319
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,620
Not only do they want to rob Wei
Hao when they see him making money,

320
00:11:33,639 --> 00:11:35,840
but they're also getting
officials to impeach him.

321
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:36,919
No wonder.

322
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,320
I received many memorials
impeaching Wei Hao yesterday.

323
00:11:40,799 --> 00:11:41,600
Father,

324
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,480
you must stand up for Wei the Fool.

325
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:44,390
What is there to fear?

326
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,360
So, they dare bully
someone under my protection?

327
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,840
Just tell him to rest easy.

328
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,799
But he's very worried right now.

329
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,360
He'll likely go talk to the Dukes.

330
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,200
Those great clans are far too arrogant.

331
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,679
Can they not stand to
see anyone make a profit?

332
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:58,960
What can be done?

333
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,200
Those great clans

334
00:12:01,759 --> 00:12:03,639
are all tightly bound together.

335
00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:04,840
Who

336
00:12:04,879 --> 00:12:06,440
could compete with them?

337
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,039
Father,

338
00:12:09,399 --> 00:12:10,360
Wei the Fool said

339
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,159
that if given ten years,

340
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,159
he would take down those great clans.

341
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,799
He also mentioned
something about printing books.

342
00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:19,960
If we had books,

343
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,960
it could shake the foundation
of the great clans.

344
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,639
But is printing books really that easy?

345
00:12:25,639 --> 00:12:26,879
With woodblock printing,

346
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,799
does he have any idea how much it costs?

347
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,039
Does he know how many
blocks one book requires?

348
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:31,639
Well...

349
00:12:31,759 --> 00:12:32,759
That brat...

350
00:12:32,759 --> 00:12:33,480
Father,

351
00:12:33,799 --> 00:12:35,720
I've said those same
things to him before,

352
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,360
but he just asked what I know about it.

353
00:12:37,879 --> 00:12:39,759
Could he really have some sort of plan?

354
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,159
I'll have to ask him properly
another day.

355
00:12:43,159 --> 00:12:44,080
No need.

356
00:12:44,159 --> 00:12:45,159
There's no way.

357
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:46,360
Your Majesty,

358
00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:49,519
the great clans acting this way
is not a good sign.

359
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:52,360
I am aware.

360
00:12:53,279 --> 00:12:55,480
But what can be done?

361
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,039
If I killed them all,

362
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,480
who would help me govern the world?

363
00:12:59,799 --> 00:13:00,879
I believe

364
00:13:00,879 --> 00:13:02,440
Wei Hao does have a way.

365
00:13:04,519 --> 00:13:07,480
Your Majesty might consider
summoning him for a detailed talk.

366
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:11,840
Have him come to the palace?

367
00:13:12,639 --> 00:13:13,799
I feel

368
00:13:13,799 --> 00:13:16,360
that Wei Hao is indeed
a guy with some ability.
