[Ep 55]

If you insist on not returning the purple mine,

I'm afraid this will be your doomsday.

Do you understand?

Ok.

If you are still so stubborn,

I will tell father everything I know.

Thank you for helping me.

I can help you, too.

I will let everyone know your existence.

If your father knows you appeared in my bedroom at late night,

he will punish you first or me?

Your Majesty.

The ministers on both sides looked at me.

My mind went blank at that time.

Ma'am.

I don't know if you have any good way.

Don't worry, husband.

In fact, it's simple.

Just imagine the one sits the throne is your father.

All the ministers are Yuan family's officials.

The atmosphere is much easier.

Your Majesty.

I bring some rare treasures to you.

Wish you good health.

You have such a honey mouth after a few days.

Your eyesights get improved a lot.

Thank you, your Majesty.

These days I go around here.

I have enjoyed the cuisine and scenery here.

Now I have more feelings and experiences.

Your country has a beautiful scenery.

Such a good place.

Of course.

But...

What?

It's about diplomatic relations between the two countries.

There are many knacks in there.

In short, right crop for right time and cater to another's pleasure.

I went out recently.

I know Duan Yuerong is very concerned about people's livelihood.

But Nanguo is a small country with a limited national strength.

If you negotiate with national strength and financial power,

Duan Yuerong will extend the olive branch.

Nanguo is an inaccessible territory.

It's not a suitable place for agriculture and mulberry.

I feel, it's such a pity.

Your Majesty.

I think the mutual exchange is the best policy for our countries.

We can have trade and form an alliance with each other.

I will tell my father to reduce the tax by half after I go back.

Half?

Really?

I am on my emperor's behalf here.

Of course I can promise you.

Thank you, your Majesty.

Bad guy, you are here again.

Bad guy. -Xiyan, stop it.

Do you like it?

Your Royal Highness, what is this?

The little girl above there.

She looks like you, right?

Take it.

Xiyan is a kid.

I hope you won't mind.

Your Majesty, the princess is innocent and clever.

She will witness our great friendship.

Ok.

For our two countries, I hold a big banquet today to celebrate our alliance.

Thank you, your Majesty.

Princess.

Why do you come back to late?

It's...

I have made it.

The emperor held a banquet for me.

He also gave my father a hundred war elephants.

You should take all the credit.

I don't even know how to thank you.

Husband, I am flattered.

Actually, just because you are smart.

I am afraid you will be too smart after the enlightenment.

So you need to tour the various countries with me in the future.

Within 3 days, we have the net margin of 500 liang.

The mung bean is such a good way to defeat Rong's store.

Buy more mung beans with the profits.

Princess.

You need to pay the salaries and rents this month.

You have delayed for a month.

What are you afraid of?

Buy more mung beans, so we can make more money.

At the end of the month,

I will double your salary.

But our warehouses are full.

The rented warehouses are full, too.

We have no place to store more.

It's easy.

Find an open space in the suburbs.

To store mung beans temporarily.

Cover mung beans with oilcloth.

It will prevent moisture and rain.

It's sunny in capital for the whole month.

Open space is much cheaper than warehouse.

We can also save costs.

But princess.

It might rain.

I have checked the weather in the books.

There is no rain in each July in the capital.

Princess.

After the farmers know we monopolize the market,

they raise the price.

They even mix the freshly harvested mung beans with damp ones.

It's fine.

It's sunny in the capital this month.

You should expose the damp beans for a day.

Stock them after draining the moisture.

It's sunny in the morning.

Why does the rain come so soon?

Mung beans can't get wet.

But we have a lot of mung beans.

And we place them on open space.

We only give it the oilcloth.

It's ok with the little rain.

But the heavy rain, I am afraid...

Mung beans in warehouse are much

more than those on the open space.

We will sell mung beans for more days.

We can make up for the loss.

Princess.

Princess.

What happened?

Princess, let's get inside first.

Go.

It rains hard.

All our warehouses are damp.

All mung beans germinate now.

Jun's store has strong warehouse.

We should still have a lot of mung beans left.

We still have a chance to make a comeback.

Princess.

I have something to tell you.

Before we bought a lot of damp mung beans.

The moisture spreads and

all the mung beans germinate or become moldy.

Sell all mung beans at a low price.

We need to retrieve the loss as much as possible.

No one buys damp mung beans.

And princess, it's the end of the month.

You need to give the salaries of the twelve stores.

And pay the rent.

It's overdue for two months.

Rong's store's guys came to me.

They want to buy the sprouts or damp mung beans.

But the price is very low.

I drove them away.

But now I think they can help us.

What's their offer?

One hundred dan 1 qian.

1 qian.

They want to humiliate me.

Sell ​​it.

But even if we sell all of it, it's not enough for the salaries and rent.

Well, princess.

That man told me they would like to buy our storefronts.

They can pay a high price.

And they have acquired many storefronts.

What do they want?

Such a daydream.

So ridiculous.

Listen, I won't sell mung beans.

Give me another month.

Next month I will triple your salary.

Princess, we don't care much.

But you need to pay all the 12 store's salaries and rent.

If it goes on like this, it will ruin Jun's store's reputation.

Princess.

Maybe you can borrow some money from your father.

So much money.

I didn't earn any money.

Now I still need to borrow money from father.

How can I face everyone?

Sell or transfer as much as you can.

Today's mung bean products have a big discount.

Come and take a look.

Discount? -Come on in.

Strange.

I monopolize the mung beans of the whole capital.

I won't sell it to Rong's store if there is no sprout.

He is selling my batch of mung beans.

Princess.

You will know after you see it.

I need some.

Don't squeeze...

Man, give me thirty pounds of bean cakes.

To feed the livestocks.

You need to be quick.

The defender of the capital booked 500 jin of bean cakes.

To feed the warhorses.

I need thirty pounds.

Deliver to my house before it's dark.

Ok.

Is this fresh?. -Let me smell it.

Feiyan didn't expect besides mung beans,

all the shops and shareholders belong to Rong's store.

I know after the emperor ascends the throne,

he will impose sanctions on me.

So I have been secretly deploying.

I make Rong's store like Jun's store.

I am right.

The emperor told Yuan Feiyan and second brother to run Jun's store.

And they ruin Jun's store's reputation as planned.

Then Jun's store has an irreversible failure.

Fortunately, you have prepared.

So you start Rong's store.

And you take all the money back from Yuan Feiyan.

Sir, you may not know.

I almost laughed out loud when I talked to her for many times.

Fortunately, you didn't.

Otherwise I will kill you.

Of course.

In the end, their stores will be ended up with mung beans.

So I have told you, princess is good for us.

Brilliant.

Sister.

Sometimes I think you are a prophet.

I need, too.

Why didn't she die?

We can keep princess in dark.

But father will know this.

Your Majesty.

Hua Rosemallow leaves all assets to princess in public.

But she secretly opened Rong's store.

Then according to transactions,

she transfered all assets of Jun's store.

So Jun's stores have to close doors

because of the unmarketable mung beans.

Sell the dummy.

If Hua Rosemallow still runs Rong's store,

she will monopoly our country's wealth.

Till thn I can't intervene even if I want to.

Yes.

Excuse me.

Your Majesty.

Princess Jing is here to see you.

Let her in.

Yes.

Father.

What does this mean?

Father.

Since Jun's store suffers the deficit, we have to close Jun's stores.

But I can't let shareholders suffer the loss.

So I opened Rong's store in secret.

This is all the accounts since the opening of Rong's stores.

I want to give it to you.

I have heard about Rong's store.

I know it's you.

I didn't expect you would confess so soon.

Father.

From today on, Rong's store belongs to you.

Why?

The reason why I do business is

for justice and to help the people.

But now I and Feibai get married.

I have more responsibility to help the people.

So I want to give you all shares.

Because I know only you can make people happy.

Jun Mowen.

No wonder you are a righteous merchant.

I will accept you offer.

But I won't accept your offer for nothing.

I will confer the title in return.

Yes.

Jun Mowen is the royal merchant now.

All Rong's store's property belongs to the imperial family.

80% Rong's store's profit goes to the treasury.

20% goes to for its operations.

Jun Mowen have a say for treasury property.

I hope Jun Mowen can achieve a greater success.

Thank you, your Majesty.

Father.

I need to ask you a favor.

Say it.

I hope you can allocate some the annual surplus

to build schools to benefit the people.

Benefit the people.

Enlighten the people.

Great.

Granted.

Thank you, father.

Get up.

Rosemallow.

I have to ask you a favor.

I don't know if you can do it.

You can say it.

Rong's store will grow bigger in the future.

You can't be the only shopkeeper.

I hope you can give Shangxun out.

For Yuan family, for the world, to create more businessmen.

Father, don't worry.

I can do it for you.

Ok.

I look forward to your contribution for the world.

Ok.

You can go now.

Yes.

She gives Rong's store out.

She keeps Rong's store.

Meanwhile, she finds a backup of imperial family for Rong's store.

She even shows the loyalty and gains prestige in front of me.

Hua Rosemallow.

Much smarter than I thought.

But Rong's store is your hands.

You want to trust her?

It's too early to make the judgement.

It all depends on whether she will give me Shangxun.

Jun Mowen's Shangxun is given out free of charge.

Take a look.

Jun Mowen's Shangxun.

Jun Mowen's Shangxun.

It's free.

Everyone can have it.

Don't worry.

If you can't read the book, we have schools.

We teach all of you to do business.

You can learn in the school.

Ok?

Everyone can take it.

I didn't expect Hua Rosemallow would checkmate me like this.

Feibai has a good wife.

Hua Rosemallow.

I tried so hard to ask you for Shangxun.

Now it's all over the street.

You despise me or do this on purpose?

My bloody good sister.

Sell the dummy.

It's great now.

Hua Rosemallow dispelled Yuan Qingjiang's doubts with Rong's store.

And Rong's store belongs to the imperial family.

Yuan Qingjiang's power is getting stronger and stronger.

Sir.

Earlier this month, Yuan Feibai killed some soldiers of our troop

when they were entering the capital.

Yuan Qingjiang gets stronger now.

I think it's not good for us.

Yuan Qingjiang just takes the throne.

The foundation of the new country is not stable.

Rong's store is not as big as Jun's store.

Zhang Demao.

We need to recruit more soldiers.

We need more training.

Yes.

Your Majesty.

We have found the remnants of Ming family.

In Qinling Mountains.

Tell Shen Changzong.

Bring some important people back alive.

Yes.

I didn't expect Guangqian would become like this.

Feel sorry for Feiyan.

She gives him true heart.

Your Majesty.

We have an intelligence.

The lost purple mines are hidden in the outer suburbs of Xidu.

Did you find the clue?

Not yet.

The one who can hide the purple mine in the suburbs of Xidu

must be familiar with terrain there.

Only she dashed about in the suburbs with 100 Fengde soldiers.

Maybe it's not imperial concubine.

She has given all her military force.

She is never involved in any military affairs again.

Intuition matters most.

Father knows purple mine is hidden in the suburbs of Xidu.

He begins to doubt you.

Return the purple mine.

Once it's exposed, he will punish you severely.

You tell me such a big news.

You are betraying your father.

I wish you good.

You wish me good.

Help Feiliu to be the crown prince.

You don't help me a thing that I want to do.

As long as I'm alive,

I will never stop.

You become like today.

It's all my fault.

I will end my mistake myself.

After you die,

I will die with you.

Go.

Feiyan.

Jun's store, let bygones be bygones.

It's no big deal.

Hua Rosemallow.

She makes fun of me with Rong's store.

Now I am people's laughing stock.

Feiyan...

Sorry.

Sorry.

I failed to help you.

All my fault.

I don't blame you.

All Hua Rosemallow's fault.

Feiyan.

I will help you and brother escape from this nightmare with my way.

As I know, you have a weapon workshop in the outskirts of Xidu.

You didn't fail me.

Sima Ju told me the truth.

How much does the emperor know about purple mine?

How can I disobey your order?

But weapon workshop is located in the capital.

Your Majesty.

You barely have the time.

Do we have to talk only military affairs?

Well.

Feiliu got improved a lot recently.

He even knows how to make a poem.

Quite like you.

You can call him here and teach him.

My son will be like me.

Another day.

But Feibai could write articles at his age.

It's a little childish in phrasing.

But I could see his talent among the lines.

We can't waste the good times.

Tonight it's only two of us.

Master.

Well done.

Here is my order.

We need more drills.

We are running out of time.

When will we act?

Your Highness.

Yuan Qingjiang seems to know about purple mine.

Tell them to accelerate the speed of making weapons.

I need you to build an army as soon as possible.

What are you going to do?

Yuan Qingjiang has only Xie Meixiang in his heart.

He sees Xie Meixiang's son as a treasure.

Why my son has nothing?

People all know the emperor cares about Yuan Feibai.

Why bother?

Yuan Qingjiang begins to investigate me.

I should take initiative to turn the tables.

I know you have your plan.

I know one thing is fatal or makes people deranged.

She hurt you so deep.

Why do you still help her?

Thank you for saving me.

She becomes like this because of me.

I need your help.

Now purple mine is in Jinxiu's hands.

Father is investigating this.

Please take purple mine back behind father's back.

But you can rest assured.

This is the last time I help her.

If she is still so stubborn, I will go to hell with her.

Brother.

You ask me for help for the first time.

Ok.

I promise you.

Thank you.

This is purple ore hairpin.

Stick the patient's Neiguan and Hegu points

with the needle inside the hairpin.

It can cure people's heart disease and severe syncope.

Purple mine can hurt people and save people as well.

Be careful.

Who's there?

Kill them.

Sir, bad news.

Yuan's darkmen are coming.

We can't outcompete them.

Yuan Qingjiang wants to kill me.

Don't worry.

Here's my order. Our reinforcements are coming.

Defend against them with full force.

Yes.

Search.

Yes.

Now all the hatred falls on my shoulders.

I can't retreat.

I won't allow myself to retreat.

Zhang Demao.

Song.

Why are you here?

This is the stronghold of the remnants of Ming family.

General Shen.

Why are you here?

According to the imperial decree, I am here to eliminate you.

I think you know I was one of Ming family.

And his name is Zhang Demao.

He's Ming Fengqing's confidant.

He committed evil crimes with Ming Fengqing for many years.

After Ming Fengqing died,

he did everything possible to lure me in.

He needs me to endanger Yuan family.

How can I be in cahoots with him?

So I have to kill him.

Now it is over.

General Shen.

I beg your leave.

He is so cruel and sophisticated.

Your Majesty.

Prince Yuan visited neighboring countries.

He brings us goods news.

We have formed an alliance with Nanguo, Shuguo and Gongyue.

We establish business road with them.

To rejuvenate people's livelihood together.

Feiqing did a good job.

My good son.

Your Majesty.

General Yu has many victories.

Except Jiangzhou, many countries join our territory.

Jiangzhou's leader Zhang Zhiyan defend against us with his soldiers.

General Yu hates to see the destructions of the monuments.

Even he can't be indifferent to the sufferings of the people.

So he waits there for your decision.

General Yu is benevolent.

Zhang Zhiyan is a very unruly man.

Here is my decree.

Tell Yu Feiyan not to attack Jiangzhou now.

Yes.

Your Majesty.

We can tell the eldest prince to lobby Jiangzhou, right?

Shangxun's five characters.

Heaven, earth, people, god and ghost.

Heaven is the ambition.

The essence of business.

Earth is aposteriori.

It's a matter of trust.

People.

It's about righteousness.

We should know gentleman's doctrines.

Mr. Jun.

I have two large workshops from a small workshop.

Thank you for your class.

My shop goes on well, too.

I was worried that I couldn't afford the rent.

Shangxun is an amazing book.

I will give people more help to benefit them.

You can keep this in your heart.

It means Shangxun is in your mind.

Father.

I gave Shangxun and Jiangyuan to decent people.

Did you see it?

I have heard a lot about your reputation and benevolence.

So I am here today.

God is valiant.

Courageous.

What a fairy-like face!

A pair of charming eyes.

Why is he so handsome?

Mr. Jun.

Shangxun says the merchants can't violate the times.

It means we can't miss the times.

Then why do you want to buy leathers in summer?

garment of single layer in winter?

It's self-contradictive right?

Fair enough.

As a businessman, you need to take precautions.

You need to preorder the next season's goods.

And sell it on the right time.

It's not contradictive.

Mr. Jun.

I have another a question.

Shangxun says.

To be a man, we need to have principles and rules.

But it also says, we need to be flexible in business.

So we need to follow the rules or break them?

But I think we can't be too paranoid.

We can't stick to convention or be over calculated.

It's irrational.

As a successful businessman,

first of all, you need to be upright.

Know the rules.

So you can be invincible in ​​business.

I see.

I think the fairy brother's question is a good one.

I do not know the fairy brother is the local people?

What business are you doing?

I remember it.

He is Mr. Snow.

Mr. Snow.

His story is so touching.

I want to find a husband like Mr. Snow.

Brother.

Tell us your story.

Yeah...

Feiyan.

Finally you are back.

Where did you go?

I am so worried about you.

I...

Don't worry.

I went to sacrifice.

I see.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I am so worried about you.

Husband.

In the future, every year take me to the sacrifice ok?

Your family are my family.

Well.

You like lily pattern.

I bought one today.

Do you like it?

You know me best.

May I?

All right.

How do I look?

Great.

Well, husband.

I want to tell you good news.

He forms the alliance with many countries.

Father has less and less enemies.

You and brother become the pillar of the country.

God bless us.

What if one day I become the enemy of Yuan family?

Husband.

Why are you saying that again?

Do you have a secret?

You can tell me.

Nothing.

Just kidding.
