Seondal: The Man Who Sells the River Page #4

I am grateful to the Crown

Prince for recommending such

an outstanding person.

You are the most trustworthy

among the thousands of people

in Joseon.

You are much better than the

current king.

Thus, in our royal family you

are called Yuandong-jun.

This means Prince of the

Far East.

But what to do?

Some of your behavior lately

has caused me to question

your loyalty to me.

As your subject, naturally I

would not let the royal family

suffer any loss.

Here I have provided you with

silver worth triple the amount

of the lost dampago.

In addition, next year I will offer

a tribute of 5 times the amount

of dampago.

How can you guarantee that?

Soon, the Pyeongan region will

become the center for dampago.

The crop is about to be harvested.

We're not leaving.

I have already bought this land,

so get out of here!

We won't go! Even if we die,

we won't go!

All of you, drive them out!

If we are driven out now, our

entire family will starve!

Please have mercy!

These crops are our lifeblood!

Please let us harvest them

before we go!

Help! Please spare me!

What in the world is going on

in Pyeongan-do?

Currently, there is crop failure

and famine in Jeolla-do,

and now, all the fertile land has

been purchased and planted

with dampago!

Does that make any sense?

I am about to issue a royal

decree banning tobacco!

You must not do that,

Your Majesty.

There has never been any law

regarding what type of crops

landowners may grow.

Please reconsider this matter,

Your Majesty.

Seong Dae Ryeon's support

cannot be taken lightly.

Is there really no way to

defeat him?

Scholars who passed the state

exam have come to the palace,

Your Majesty.

Your presence is awaited in

the Grand Palace Hall.

Happy?

I'm happy!

Okay, how do we do good work?

Enjoy the process.

Right. Enjoy the process.

What should I do, Gyeon?

This time around,

I just can't enjoy the process.

-=Pyeongyang=-

Hong Pal!

You told me to wait 1 month.

What took you so long?

What's with the Hong Pal?

Even practice must be treated

as real combat. You have to

remember that.

Yes, young master.

Hurry and eat while it's hot.

What have you been doing all

this time in Hanyang?

Preparing. He's no fool.

What about you?

I found a suitable house

beside the river.

I've been looking for dampago

workers in the area and spread

the rumors.

This is what you ordered.

A 3-barrelled gun.

This is the Joseon 3-shot gun

modified by the Qing Dynasty.

You don't have to light this

kind of gun. One shot fires

3 bullets.

For the job this time, our

lives will be at stake.

Risking our lives seems a bit

unfortunate.

Just kidding. Just kidding.

Faith.

Gyeon gave his life in faith.

Both of us must do something

for him.

Just this once, let's fight in the

name of faith and revenge.

After that, we can begin to

enjoy life again.

It's a deal. Let's do it for the

sake of revenge.

And a cup for our Gyeon.

Our revenge begins now.

Hyeongnim, you go to the carpenter

recommended by Shaman Yun.

Excuse me!

Who might you be?

How many rooms do you need?

All of them.

All of them?

I searched plenty of taverns.

My friend, Shaman Yun,

told me to find you.

Im Seon Hui?

Right, Im Seon Hui!

She probably told you, back

when I was in the Qing Dynasty,

Im Seon Hui and I were slaves

in the same place.

We heard you are very skilled,

especially with building houses.

In the Qing Dynasty, didn't you

see the Forbidden City?

I did!

Who do you think was responsible

for the entire east wall?

It was me.

This is for you.

We need something special.

After that, start construction

immediately.

What about you?

If you want to fish, first you

must prepare the bait.

Did you come from Hanyang?

Yes.

But, this is my hometown.

When I had just learned to walk,

I was sent to Hanyang for my

studies.

When I had just learned to walk,

I was sent to Hanyang for my

studies.

I don't remember much here.

So that's how it is.

I was walking along the Daedong

River today,

and I heard scholars talking

about a sunflower.

They said the sunflower grew

in this gisaeng house.

They were talking about

Miss Gyu Yeong.

They said beauty like the

petals of the sunflower,

was really true.

The scholar was so enchanted

by that person, he couldn't study.

Needless to say, she must be

beautiful.

You just called her "Miss."

Is she possibly not a gisaeng?

There is a reason you shouldn't

ask again.

Is it possible...

I could get a glimpse of

her face?

You should forget all about it.

You might get badly burned.

Men and women meeting is

always like playing with fire.

Dreaming of a person you've

never met,

is like falling in love with the

far away moon.

Like a small child who reaches

his hand up to pluck the moon,

a pitiful scholar like me must sing

songs to a sunflower my eyes

can't see.

Begin counting, as I am now

rushing toward your lady's

chamber.

Please count to 3 before you

make your decision.

After that, when we see each

other, count to 10.

If I can achieve my wish,

on the count of 20, I shall leave.

I have already counted to 10.

Stunning beauty doesn't begin

to describe you.

It is thrilling.

You...

You...

are completely enchanting.

Reportedly, along the

Daedong River,

the valley isn't deep and the

land is fairly level.

It's an area very suitable to

farming.

Find some time and take a

look at it.

Yes, Uncle.

Welcome, my lord.

Welcome, your excellency.

I'm very sorry.

You're not the person I'm

looking for.

Are you ready?

She has been fully prepared.

You need not worry.

Come here and pour me a drink.

She's no different than a

piece of wood.

You said I must try to be

pleasing. To others as well?

Aren't people who are so

insignificant they can be freely

sold already worthless?

Insignificant people?

Right. Just as you say.

If you cannot please the

Crown Prince,

you will not have the money

to restore your family's status.

You must keep that in mind.

You leave for the Qing Dynasty

in the middle of next month.

Get away from here!

Don't come any closer!

Just a moment!

I just want to ask you about

something!

Get out of here!

Don't step into my river!

River?

I didn't come to see the river,

but...

Get far away from here!

You said panning for gold?

Yes. It's true.

Panning for gold.

There's gold in the Daedong River.

Stay away!

You bunch of bastards!

Stay out of my river!

Are you not hearing what I say?

Don't come any closer!

Stay away from here!

Let go!

Let go of my pants!

Let go of my pants!

Is there a lot of gold here?

How would I know?

My young master just told me

to guard this river.

Whether there is gold or not,

I have no idea.

If you want to know, just go

ask my young master directly.

You just said you were told to

guard the river or something.

Are you saying the river has

an owner?

Young master!

What's going on?

So, it turns out you're the

young master?

This guy.

But, for what reason do you show
