Katherine, Sophie

Oh My General

Jiangbei is lord Qi's fief.

He has ridden there overnight.

Many emergencies happen in the relief.

Need the rear to support them.

Look, that Miss Liu.

Such a beauty.

Why did she have to join the nuns?

The bell rings in a remote place.

How much annoyance has been hidden by that?

I only want to spend the rest of my life here.

There!

My lady! Hurry, my lady!

They're after you!

Stop! Stop there!

My lady!

Run!

Run! Now!

It keeps pouring these days. The grains are ruined.

The water transfer is cut off.

Price in the capital is rising rapidly.

People are all starving.

They've lost their home, have to leave their hometown.

There's no time to lose.

People are counting on the disaster relief fund.

I think there's a man who can take the responsibility. You're always wearing a green uniform.

Walking down the streets.

It's too wasted

for such a talent like you.

I'll promote you.

Really?

Of course!

Episode 28

I'm the emperor.

My words carry weight. How could it be a lie?

Jiang Luhai.

Fetch the appointment decree.

The appointment decree?

Here, take it.

What... What appointment decree?

Lately, a flood befell Jiangbei and Xiushui.

I appoint you as

the imperial commissioner to relieve people in the disaster.

Disaster relief?

Yes, disaster relief.

What should I do, then?

An easy job.

You just get the disaster relief fund,

run errands and post some comforting notices.

After you send grains there,

urge your men to allocate grains and some porridge.

When you're free, walk around on the street,

chat with the locals over tea,

see if officials there

have concealed anything about the calamities.

Once grains and money get in place, have concealed anything about the calamities.

Once grains and money get in place,

your job will be done as well. Once grains and money get in place,

your job will be done as well.

As for the rest,

no need to take to heart. Just do it as you wish.

Don't give yourself any psychological burden.

So, isn't it easy?

He indeed has no good intentions.

No wonder he seems so flattering today.

Praised me first and then gave me the famous painting.

Your majesty.

You're my biological royal uncle!

This job will offend the others at the risk of my life.

How could you let me do it?

Yujin.

You've meddled along for more than twenty years.

But if you can succeed in this disaster relief,

you'll do credit to me, your royal uncle.

Besides.

You've been confined to your home since childhood.

You even haven't gone beyond the gates of the capital.

What kind of a colorful world lies out there?

Do you know?

You must have no idea about that!

Yujin, think carefully.

This time.

It is a golden chance for you

to enjoy yourself to your heart's content!

I've been kept inside my home by mom since childhood.

I've been craving the outside world for a long time.

It's a rare chance that I can go out to travel aboveboard.

You're right, royal uncle.

I promise you I'll complete the mission!

Great. Yujin.

This is your first time to go on a business trip.

You have no experience.

I'll send Hai Weining and scholar Bi to assist you.

If you have any questions,

you must turn to them for help.

Thank you, royal uncle.

I'll issue an edict

to every local government in the stricken area.

Tell them to post notices about reducing taxes and fees,

compensating and transferring the victims. Tell them to post notices about reducing taxes and fees,

compensating and transferring the victims.

And you just need to get your own job done.

Understood.

Well, where should I go first?

Jiangbei is close to Western Xia's border.

To prevent refugees from rioting,

and Western Xia taking the chance to harass us,

you'll go to Jiangbei first

and then Xiushui.

I'll give Ye Zhao a two-month leave.

So she can go there with you. I'll give Ye Zhao a two-month leave.

So she can go there with you.

On one hand, to keep you safe.

On the other hand,

you two travel together

to improve your relationship

and have kids as soon as possible.

Royal uncle.

will my wife's name

also be on the list of the imperial commissioners?

No.

This time Ye Zhao will act as a dependent.

With no jobs to do.

That's great.

So she'll know

how it feels to rely on her husband in everything.

Yujin.

This disaster relief matters a lot to our nation.

You can't be more careful on the way there.

Royal uncle, don't worry.

I want you to do me another favor.

Shoot.

Royal uncle, please lend me your imperial doctor

Meng Xingde for a few days.

If anyone has a headache, a fever or carsickness on the way,

he or she will be cured in time.

With Meng Xingde being with you, he or she will be cured in time.

With Meng Xingde being with you,

I'll feel more relieved.

No problem.

Right, Yujin.

Post houses are rough.

Don't bother local governments for any improvement, okay?

You can make arrangements

and live in taverns that feel more comfortable.

No problem. Rest easy, royal uncle.

Alright.

Go back home to make preparations.

Yes, your majesty.

Tidy up that corner as well.

Xia.

My lord.

Hurry, pack up. I gotta travel far.

My lord, how far is it?

The east gate or the west gate?

What are you talking about?

I'm really gonna go far away.

Really far away?

His majesty gives me a good job.

Which allows me to enjoy myself during work time!

Is there really any good job like that?

Hurry, go pack things up.

Go!

Honey. Honey, hurry!

Come.

What?

Hurry, pack up.

Royal uncle tells me to take you to do disaster relief in Jiangbei and Xiushui.

Great!

When shall we set out?

Like husband, like wife.

I'll always be at your service.

Go tell Qiu Shui and Qiu Hua to leave with us.

Yes!

In this disaster relief.

You and Qiu Shui will go there with us.

Remember to keep a low profile.

Our identity will be my lord's female attendants.

Yes!

Besides. I'll choose fifty guards in person

to protect the grains.

Go make preparations.

Yes, general.

Zhao, you're really vigorous and effective.

So exceptional!

Now you know who I am.

A different kind of firework.

A fruit with a different kind of taste.

General.

General.

My hometown is also there.

Please let me go with you!

Let me go with you, okay? Fine.

You're in. -Thank you, general! -General!

If you all leave,

I'll be so bored and so lonely at home!

Please let me go with you as well.

You two nuts.

We're to do disaster relief in Jiangbei.

Not to form a luxury touring party.

Mei's hometown is in Jiangbei.

So she can visit it by the way.

Xuan, you'll pass.

Fine.

We need to take many items for this trip.

Mei.

Go fetch articles for daily use.

Xuan.

Prepare twenty outfits for general.

Okay.

I'm on it.

Let's go. Let's go.

Why do I have to take so many outfits?

We're outside and strange to places on the way there.

If your clothes get broken or wet...

Jiangbei suffers a flood. It rains for days.

What if you have no clothes to change?

Take more. Just be ready for that.

Really, two outfits are enough.

Yujin, you've never traveled far.

You don't know...

Pah!

Now you're a dependent of mine.

You must listen to me.

Five outfits. Can't be less.

Deal.

Yujin.

Let's go choose weapons to take.

Okay.

The first emperor's dark steel whip.

And my Jiaolong Sword. Just in case of the need.

His majesty says that you're famous as a playboy.

It's a matter of course that you have wife and concubines with you.

Empress Dowager also tells me

to cherish this good time.

So she can have a grandson when we're back.

That's great!

On the way there, we have good view and kids to expect.

Shouldn't we feel happy?

There also will be a beauty!

Yes. Yes. A beauty.

Honey. Low-key. Low-key.

We better travel incognito, then.

Yes.

That's a good idea.

We also can enjoy acting, then.

I'll be a grain seller. You'll be my bodyguard.

Those following us are maids and manservants. Yes, my lord.

Let's go choose our weapons.

Okay.

WANGYUE PAVILION

My lord. My lord.

I've made a list according to your order.

Read it aloud.

Uniforms, plain clothes, shoes and socks for my lord.

Twenty outfits in total.

Silk quilt covers, eiderdown blankets, embroidered pillows.

Ten for each.

Washbowls, tumblers, foot basins, three for each.

Various little items for home use and travel, a big basket.

What else will we need?

Right.

Chamber pots.

Two chamber pots.

My lord, you're really considerate.

Everything is ready.

We can leave in two days.

I'm on it.

My lord.

My lord is here.

Hurry, put it here.

Back off. Back off.

Keep them away.

Back off!

Please give us something to eat.

My lady.

Please help us.

Yes, my lady.

Please help us.

Give us something to eat.

Alright. Give me some. Give me two.

Here you are.

Here, take this. All of you. Thank you.

Thank you, you're so kind.

Give me some. Give me some.

My lady, please give me some.

You're so kind.

Give me some.

Jiangbei seems have changed totally overnight.

It becomes such a wreck.

So bleak.

My lady, you better stay at home these days.

Don't go out for nothing.

I heard those flood victims have become crazy.

They rob everyone in sight.

If my lord agreed to hand out the grains,

all the problems would have been solved.

They're not crazy.

They're hungry.

My lord, here we are.

Xia.

This tavern looks nice.

Go make inquires.

My lord. My lord. My lord. How is that?

I've asked them.

This tavern has tidy rooms, clean beds.

Most importantly. A high-class room only costs one hundred wens.

With a wooden tub and hot water being supplied!

What to eat here are all local specialties.

Guests can order whatever they like.

I love this place so much!

Sounds nice.

Tell the manager we're all hungry.

Serve dishes first.

We'll check in later.

Zhao, let's go.

Yujin.

What do you think of the dishes?

Although they look coarse and simple,

the flavor proves to be good specialties in the mountains.

Delicious!

A land has its own special cuisine on it.

Yujin, you should travel a lot in the future.

So I can experience more with you.

General.

-Wherever you want to go, -Have more. Just tell me.

I'll take you to travel and enjoy the food there.

My lord.

Shall I pay the bill first?

Then we'll check in directly after this meal!

Fill it up.

Right, Yujin.

Post houses are rough.

Don't bother the local governments for any improvement. Make arrangements by yourself.

To live in taverns that feel more comfortable.

The imperial commissioner rushes to the flood-stricken area with his dependents.

But our scheming emperor doesn't even pay a single penny.

I not only have to cover our traveling expenses.

But also minister Hai and scholar Bi's.

So it is.

Man can never be smarter than his emperor!

His majesty is really good at calculation!

So hateful!

Look.

Today's chicken is so yummy!

Everyone, try it. Try it.

You eat more, too.

Can't pick off any.

What's wrong?

Swelling and aching of gums.

It's okay. It's okay.

Although his majesty didn't give us any business fund,

he did tell me to take plenty of

Yuchi Powder which refreshes and protects teeth.

YUCHI POWDER

It's said that this Yuchi Powder is elaborated by China's Pharmacy Bureau.

With precious medical materials.

It works miraculously in reducing internal heat and protecting gums.

His majesty seldom rewards people with this medicine.

Mei, make good use of it.

So cool. So refreshed!

My lord, here we are.

Slowly, my lord. Slowly.

Coarse taverns in the wilderness. We have to get by in here.

Okay.

Please.

My lord, sorry. Our restaurant

is under the block booking of a lord from the capital.

Who is that?

Such an extravagance! Don't you know

young lord Zhang is...

Go ask another tavern.

See if there are empty rooms.

I heard he's a grain seller moving to Jiangbei Province.

Such a parade.

With dozens of carriages.

The restaurants in the neighborhood are booked by his lordship,

let alone the one next to ours!

My lord,

how about you guys go eat some dumplings at the stall?

He's young lord Zhang!

He's delicate and noble.

If we didn't break the wheel halfway and get delayed,

how would we come close to your wretched tavern!

Never mind. We're not in Xiushui now.

Don't argue with them.

Let's go. If we're in Xiushui Province,

I'll beat you damn servant to death!

It's true that we have no rooms now.

Why do you have to curse me?!

What's going on outside?

What's going on?

My lord.

My lord, does it hurt?

No.

My surname is Zhang. I'm a scholar.

How shall I address you?

My name is Yujin.

Lord Yujin.

I came here with my servant.

Found ourselves so hungry.

Can we ask you for a favor

and eat at the table beside yours?

My grain team is bustling.

Sorry that we might disturb you.

But if you don't mind it,

you may sit at the table with us.

Thank you, Lord Yujin.

You're welcome.

Please. After you.

Eat more vegetables.

It's nutritive.

Zhao, this one is delicious.

Here, eat. You eat it.

Have some soup.

This soup is not well cooked.

No.

I'll drink it, then.

So hot. So hot.

Eat more since we still have this to eat.

After we're in the stricken area,

there will be anything even if you want to eat.

I'll set up a stove and cook porridge for you, then.

Thank you, my lord.

TRANQUIL WATER CLEAR VOICE

Morning, Lord Yujin.

Morning.

I saw you have dozens of carts of grains.

Where are you going?

My uncle is a businessman.

He told me,

sending grains to Jiangbei now is profitable.

So he wanted me to go out to try myself.

If this deal makes money, it'll be his.

If it makes a loss,

my allowance will be deducted to make up for it.

My uncle knew it's my first time to travel far.

But he gave me such a tiring and lousy job.

Now grain price in Jiangbei goes up the fastest.

It changes many times a day.

And it's many times higher than it was.

If you can send your grains there safely,

sell them to local grain sellers,

you'll make a big profit!

Send grains there safely?

Will we be in danger on the way there?

After the flood,

bandits often come out to make trouble.

They rob grains now and there.

If you meet them, I'm afraid you'll lose your life.

Well, is the flood more serious in Jiangbei or Xiushui?

It must be Xiushui Province.

The dam collapsed. People got killed. Unbearably miserable.

Well, where are you from?

Xiushui Province.

I'm studying in Songshan Academy.

Waiting to sit the imperial exam in two years. My father is an official in Xiushui Province.

He always stays in the most stricken area.

That's to say.

Your father must be a good official!

My father has been working earnestly all the time.

He could have been promoted.

But maybe wishes are always hard to achieve.

He bumped into such a disaster that rarely happened before.

Lord Yujin, I wonder if you can do me a favor.

Feel free to ask.

It's not peaceful lately. I can't help feeling fearful to go home just with my servant.

But your team has strong people and horses.

May I join you?

To look after each other.

It's okay for us to look after each other.

But uncle wanted me to go to Jiangbei Province first.

And then Xiushui Province.

It just costs one day or two to make the detour.

Now grain price in Xiushui goes up the fastest.

And my father is an official there.

If you go there, you can live in the government office.

To keep yourselves safe.

I also know a lot of grain sellers there.

I can help you establish contacts with them.

To sell your grains at a high price.

That sounds good.

My uncle has some connections in the court more or less.

He'll report your father's deeds to the court if there's a chance.

To set a good example for the other officials.

My lord. My lord.

Coming.

My lord. My lord.

What's up?

An important issue.

My lord.

I have something that I don't understand. The disaster relief route.

We should go to Jiangbei Province first and then Xiushui Province.

Why did you want to go to Xiushui first?

I heard the flood is most serious in Xiushui. So we should go there first. I heard the flood is most serious in Xiushui.

So we should go there first.

Jiangbei Province borders on Western Xia.

Flood victims there must be handled well.

If they stir up a riot,

I'm afraid Western Xia will take the chance to harass us.

So the most important thing now is,

we must go to Jiangbei first. If we change the route so suddenly,

our whole plan might be influenced.

Well... It's a disaster relief anyway.

It's okay if we go to Jiangbei Province a few days later.

My lord, we have a huge line of carriages.

One more day delayed, we can't afford it.

Here is a metaphor. It's like we're gonna send a bun to them.

But on the way there,

we will consume three buns by ourselves.

You see?

This is called not worth the candle.

So you were saying,

if we'll give them a hundred carts of grains,

we'll eat three hundred carts of grains by ourselves? I was trying to let you get the meaning.

It's just a metaphor.

No need to say anything any more.

To do disaster relief, we must go to the most serious area first.

My lord, I can't make it come across to you.

I must see general.

Where's general? Tell me. Where's general?

General! Ge...

General.

What's up?

Help me here.

My lord wants to change the route to Xiushui.

Yujin.

You changed the route just based on Zhang's words.

I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate.

What about flood victims in Xiushui?

We'll rush to Jiangbei Province.

After the disaster relief,

It's also a plan made by his majesty. we'll go to Xiushui. It's also a plan made by his majesty.

we'll go to Xiushui.

Fine.

Surely wise, general.

My lord.

Thank you.

Zhang?

Zhang!

Zhang, why did you always drop your fan?

Lord Yujin, is everything ready?

Zhang, sorry.

The grains don't only belong to myself.

Other people have stakes in it.

Their opinion is,

go to Jiangbei Province first. And we'll have a higher selling price.

But if you go to Jiangbei now,

I'm afraid you may not have an expedite passage. But if you go to Jiangbei now,

I'm afraid you may not have an expedite passage.

Why?

To go to Jiangbei Province,

Chediguan Grand Canyon is a must.

Chediguan means totally doomed.

Chediguan, totally doomed?

Mountains in the grand canyon are over a thousand meters high.

With steep cliffs and rapid torrents.

And it rained for days lately.

Landslide and debris flow often take place out there.

If you really meet one,

birds will hardly escape from it, let alone people and horses!

How far is the Chediguan from here?

About a hundred miles.

I gotta go discuss with them!

What?

If what Zhang said is true,

you guys shall stay in here first.

I'll go check it out with Qiu Hua and Qiu Shui.

If it's passable,

we'll go through Chediguan first today.

If it's not, we'll find another way out.

There are so many troubles outside home.

We have no other choices now.

-General. -General.

CHEDIGUAN

Chediguan?

Go check it out!

Qiu Shui.

General.

So Zhang is right.

Once a debris flow happens,

no humans nor animals can survive.

Qiu Shui, let's go.

Okay.

My lord.

They're back. They're back.

How is that?

A landslide happens on a large scale at Chediguan.

Thank you, Zhang.

Otherwise, our grain team will be stopped.

It'll be a bigger trouble.

I'm a local.

So I know local circumstances here.

Lord Yujin, what's your plan now?

Zhao, you've fought in the battlefield.

What's your opinion?

If we can't follow our original plan,

we shall change the route, to Xiushui Province first.

When a general fights outside,

he can disobey the military orders.

The current route is blocked.

We have no other choices.

Qiu Hua. Qiu Shui.

How is the flood going in Xiushui Province?

I've made investigations with my sister.

It's said that flood victims there are over ten thousand.

And the missing are dozens of thousand.

Farm lands and houses are also seriously damaged.

Zhang.

How is the road to Xiushui Province?

Xiushui Province has lots of hills.

Seldom sees landslides and debris flows.

But the road must be muddy and bumpy.

It's okay.

Open a road in mountains, set up a bridge over waters.

We must send the grains

to the most stricken area.

Yes.

To get the highest selling price.

I'll inform our team to go to Xiushui.

Okay.

Let's set out now.

Qiu Hua, look.

The road ahead looks better.

Stop! Stop!

Stop! Stop!

What's wrong?

I gotta relieve myself.

Hurry, come here.

Tell them to get off.

We won't stop again later.

We must arrive in Xiushui Province before dusk.

Everyone, get off and relieve yourself!

We won't stop again later.

Must arrive in Xiushui Province before dusk!

Okay.

Lord Yujin.

Xiushui Province is right around the corner.

I'll leave first.

You take your time to advance.

I'll make preparations to pick you up.

Thank you, Zhang.

Bye.

This flood totally is such a blow to Jiangbei.

And we're running out of grains here.

I heard the disaster relief commissioner sent by his majesty

is consort dowager Zhao's youngest son, Zhao Yujin.

That man has a bad reputation.

How could he shoulder such a heavy responsibility?

Wife, you don't understand.

Disaster relief is not an easy job.

It not only brings no money, but may offend people.

Those foxy old ones in the court would avoid it.

Zhao Yujin.

He is a noble from a famous family.

And he's his majesty's nephew.

He and his wife get double income in the court.

So.

Let Zhao Yujin do the disaster relief job.

It's understandable and reasonable.

However.

His majesty told Ye Zhao to go with him.

I always feel there are other purposes behind the arrangement.

Now the disaster is serious and hungry people abound.

How could his majesty have the energy for any other plans?

Jiangbei was granted to me by the late emperor.

Over these years, his majesty always stayed out of my business.

But this time.

I think his majesty is taking advantage of the disaster relief

to investigate my real strength.

And control my movements by the way.

His majesty has his own plans.

But since we're here,

we can't see them starve to death, right?

Of course.

People in Jiangbei are all my subordinates.

Of course I can't bear it to see them being homeless.

But since his majesty...

Has sent a commissioner to relieve the disaster,

we better sit here and wait for the rescue.

The capital is far away from Jiangbei.

Yesterday, a debris flow happened on the way here.

The road and bridge got ruined.

The disaster relief team returned and went to Xiushui Province first.

Wife, how did you know that?

Do you still want to keep me in the dark?

Doesn't your man tail after Zhao Yujin all the time?

My lord. My lady.

Wife.

We have some trivia to deal with.

How about you go back to your room to have some rest?

How are you doing with the person who needs to be trained?

My lord.

The new singer is indeed beautiful and talented.

Good.

A noble guest will come in two days.

You must hasten the training. Don't slack off.

Yes, my lord.

Besides.

It's rainy and windy these days.

My wife starts to feel headaches again.

Find two smart maids to serve her day and night.

Make sure the medicine be served continuously.

And change the green plants in her room frequently.

Otherwise she'll feel upset seeing any withering leaves.

And...

Before her face.

Don't say anything that you shouldn't say.

Yes, my lord.

My lord.

The goods is ready.

My lord, when do you like to check it?

Today.

Yes, my lord.

Mom, I'm so hungry.

I can't walk any more.

Hurry up!

This...

Who are they? This...

Who are they?

Hurry. Hurry, stop them! Who are they?

Hurry. Hurry, stop them!

You are... Hurry. Hurry, stop them! You are...

Please save us!

Let's see what's happening.

All rise. Hurry, get up!

We can't help you.

Get up. Hurry, get up.

Get up.

Get up, all of you. We have no grains.

Hurry, get up.

You can't get in the way forever.

These people need grains to save themselves.

But I'm afraid it's not enough to give them the rice.

But undermines our future disaster relief plan.

Luckily, Zhang has foresight.

For that he transferred our grains away first.

Yes.

The situation here is much worse than what we expected.

Please help us.

The disaster relief is not a kid's game.

It's not an easy and funny travel.

But a difficult and scary road of thorns.

It's related to life and death of countless Song people.

Get up.

Hurry, get up. Get up.

Everyone, please make way.

Get up. Get up.

Make way, okay?

Make way. Make way.

Get up, everyone.

Get up, make way.

My lord.

Private adviser, any good news?

Surprise me.

The imperial commissioner will be in Jiangbei Province in days.

Our Xiushui Province is also one of the most stricken areas.

The court will definitely come and check.

To prevent imperial commissioners from checking the dam on impulse,

I've sent people to mend and cover up the dam secretly. To prevent imperial commissioners from checking the dam on impulse,

I've sent people to mend and cover up the dam secretly.

Great!

I packed a punch.

I tried to beat and imprison those vile people

who intended to report it to his majesty.

To warn the others.

Now our Xiushui Province is worry-free.

Great.

But it's not enough.

Yes, you're so right.

Not enough.

But this is only the first step.

I'll take the second step.

The second step.

I'll extend publicity.

Now rumors arise in our Xiushui Province.

All about the imperial commissioner, Duke Nanping.

Go ahead.

They said...

It's they who said that Duke Nanping is timid and lazy.

Desires money and sex.

He comes to Xiushui just to make more money. Desires money and sex.

He comes to Xiushui just to make more money.

And snatch beauties by the way.

After I spread such a message,

the rumor goes harsher and harsher.

Now people are all asking about the commissioner's arrival time.

Stop making reports to his majesty.

Instead, they focus on hiding their unmarried daughters away.

In case that the ruttish duke might see them.

Well done!

Set up a watertight trap for him.

Let him fall into it!

And then we can...

Go after an easy prey.

You may leave.

Yes.

Don't push! Don't push! Don't push!

Only nine kilograms of grains to be sold today!

Only this much!

Whoever pays the most gets it!

Anyone who can pay higher?

Triple price, sir!

-Triple? -Triple price!

Okay. Triple price.

This is yours!

I got it!

Anyone else? Anyone else?

Whoever pays the most gets it!

Not so much left!

People in Xiushui Province are so rich?

Buying grains with notes?

Crude rice and flour are driven to such a high price!

They sold houses, lands, sons and daughters.

Of course they're rich.

They're buying life, not rice or flour.

But if they sold their houses and lands,

how will they live after the disaster?

During the disaster,

having one more day or one more hour

to live is precious enough.

How could they care about the rest?
