Seondal: The Man Who Sells the River Page #4

You're that eager to start

scamming people?

No. I just want to work

along with you.

Kid.

If you're timid, they will

eat you up.

Attack.

Okay.

Do you see these red spots

here?

This is the blood of Japanese

pirates my great-grandfather

beheaded.

Japanese pirates?

A full moon in Hansan-do.

Sitting alone on a garrison floor.

Sitting alone on a garrison floor.

[poem for General Lee Sun Sin]

His sword strapped to his waist,

grieving over the problems

afflicting the country.

Hansan-do! You mean the

great general?

Is that really...

You can't, Child.

This sword is an ancestral

treasure not to be sold.

- We should return it to....

- Father!

Are you all right?

Let's go back.

But father, your illness!

They say the days of your

life are numbered.

This sword must never be sold.

Someone could still wield

this sword.

Father!

I give you my word.

With that sword, I will become a

more powerful general than the

great general himself.

Father, buy it.

Happy?

I'm happy!

Okay, how do we do good work?

Enjoy the process.

Right. Enjoy the process.

How should we spend this?

This money? I don't plan to

spend it.

Kid, money is for spending.

I'll spend it later.

How much later?

After I make enough.

I want to go to the Qing Dynasty

and buy back all of our people.

That's really great.

Dampago.

[a type of tobacco]

Next time, let's try dampago.

Now at the market, one pouch

is selling for 1 nyang silver.

Wow, how can they rob us

like that?

Because many people buy it.

But only one person sells it.

The person in Hanyang who

imports it is Seong Dae Ryeon.

We managed to get about

30,000 nyang from the Palace.

He has a warehouse stuffed

with dampago.

It's probably worth more than

100,000 nyang.

100,000 nyang?

It's excellent quality, to be used

as tribute to the Qing Dynasty.

Well? Isn't your mouth watering?

But...

Once it goes to the Qing Dynasty,

it will be too late.

There's no time to lose.

Brothers, come quickly!

The phoenix soup is ready!

Okay, coming!

About Gyeon...

What about him?

Nothing. We'll talk later.

Let's go.

-=Dampago Strategy=-

Seong Jong Ik departs

every day at 6 a.m.

You've arrived, my lord.

His first stop is the tobacco shop

to inspect the tobacco being

sold that day.

After that, he stops for his

breakfast soup.

Afterward, he goes to work

at the dampago warehouse

until sundown.

Last stop is the gisaeng house

for drinks, then heads home,

is that right?

Let's check out the warehouse.

We can't.

Why?

To get into the warehouse, we

must go through a heavily

guarded entrance.

Then we'll need papers stamped
