(Joy of Life Season 2)

(Episode 28)

Does such a musket actually exist?

This musket is different.

It was brought here by Young Lady.

- From where? - The Divine Temple.

It's from the Divine Temple

but a part is still missing?

- It was destroyed. - By whom?

That's none of your business.

What you need to know

is to be prepared by using it

to protect Fan Xian.

What next?

Can you fix it?

Not me.

Protecting Fan Xian

is a secret.

I won't tell anyone.

- Does it include my brother? - Yes.

Why did you choose me?

What is

the most important thing in this world to you?

My brother, of course.

That is the reason.

He left just like that?

Did you understand what Lord Fan said?

I don't understand as well.

- See you tonight. - See you tonight.

- Farewell. - Hurry.

See you later tonight.

See you.

- What is it? - I saw the merchants releasing pigeons outside.

I didn't know what they were doing so I caught one of them.

Are they sending a message to the capital?

The capital needs to know what happened in the mountains.

Why? Aren't they the bosses?

Can't they decide whether to buy the treasury bonds or not?

A tree can't stand without its roots.

Are you saying that all of them have roots to support them?

Of course.

I'll release it then.

You shouldn't capture it again. Seriously.

Fan Si Zhe, you are capable.

You can even speak on stage.

Of course.

Ruo Ruo,

let me tell you.

What Fan Xian said was amazing

but I've never heard of it before.

Think about it.

If I've never heard about it,

do you think the merchants will understand?

The words Fan Xian mentioned

such as national fortune and wealth.

The officials... The merchants wouldn't understand a thing.

The only word that moves them

is royalty.

Why are you feeling proud?

Shouldn't I feel proud?

Speaking of feeling proud,

it's still lacking something.

I do feel a little worried instead.

Why do you feel worried?

I thought

they would give all their money

when I mentioned His Majesty.

But if news was sent to the capital...

What's wrong?

Treasury bonds are something unprecedented.

What if

it is against the kingdom's law?

It's fine.

That's good to hear.

You spoke during the latter half.

You also mentioned that His Majesty doesn't lie.

If something happens,

I'll just hand you over.

I'm sure he won't do that.

I was helping him.

I...

No. This must not happen.

We are quite close.

Yes. It won't happen.

Treasury bonds

are not against the law.

Of course, it is!

What treasury bonds?

This has been unheard of

since the establishment of the Qing Kingdom.

This man is audacious.

Sharing the royal family's debt?

It's ridiculous!

It goes against the law of the kingdom!

As the saying goes,

it's the father's fault for not educating the son.

In my opinion,

we should first capture Fan Xian.

Next, axe me from my position of minister.

I fail to educate my family,

and I'm embarrassed to become an official.

I should go back to Danzhou and retire.

President Chen, wake up.

You are venting your frustration. Why are you calling me?

I'm sure you have an opinion

about the treasury bonds.

- I see nothing. - Are you blind?

The authority of the Imperial Treasury

is not within the Overwatch Council's jurisdiction.

- It's out of my control. - I'm not talking about the Imperial Treasury.

I'm talking about the treasury bonds.

Interesting.

I've never heard about it.

It's interesting indeed.

Treasury bonds

are unheard of.

According to the Qing Kingdom's law,

there's nothing about treasury bonds.

If he is to be punished,

there's no law we can use.

What do you think

about this new thing, Cheng Ze?

Crown Prince,

I'm still grounded to reflect on my mistakes.

I dare not go out the door if His Majesty doesn't summon me

let alone discuss politics.

It's all right to say it.

There's no law

and reason to follow.

Only Divine Judgment can punish him.

Everyone is here.

Please come with me.

Where is His Majesty?

I don't know.

If you don't know, where are you taking us to?

Harem Garden.

Harem Garden in the middle of the night?

What for?

Moving flowers.

Eunuch Hou,

are you sure this is His Majesty's edict?

Lord Fan, even with the world's courage,

I dare not fake His Majesty's edict.

What even is this?

It's just moving flowers.

Just a few of us?

Where are the servants?

His Majesty has already forbidden

any servants

to get near this patch of land.

Lord Fan, you've worked hard.

The Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival is held once every three years.

It has always been held in Xuankong Temple previously, right?

Indeed.

They are not some kind of rare flowers.

Why do we need to send it there ourselves?

His Majesty likes them.

His Majesty wants to tell us

that he prioritizes the Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival,

but why would he tell us at a time like this?

I remember the festival wasn't held around this time in previous years.

The date has been changed.

When has it been changed?

It has been changed to the near future.

The exact date is yet to be confirmed.

What are we waiting for?

For Lord Fan

to return to the capital from Mount Cang.

Why do we need to wait for Fan Xian to hold the festival?

That is His Majesty's intention.

That means His Majesty prioritizes the festival,

but it will only be held

when Fan Xian returns to the capital?

Your Highness, you are right.

His Majesty wants to remind us

that the festival is important,

but Fan Xian

is more important.

Did you leave it in the capital?

I took it from the cart

and put it in your room.

How could such a huge box

go missing suddenly?

What is inside the box?

Something from the Divine Temple?

You brought it out from the Divine Temple?

Is it a divine weapon?

It is the ultimate weapon if it is completely assembled.

- Is something missing? - The main body is gone.

Everything else is here.

Only a box is missing.

That means the person who stole it knows what it is at least.

Not many people know what it is.

Who is it?

Lord Fan, there's someone over there!

Impressive. I didn't even notice him.

Qi Nian, protect Wan Er.

Yes.

Teacher.

My dear.

Commander Jing?

Didn't all of you return to camp?

Our order is to guard Mount Cang and protect you.

Shadow?

Wang Qi Nian is quite alert.

In the end, everyone is from the Overwatch Council.

Are you here for a team building activity?

What is a team building activity?

We have many new terms.

Just get used to it.

Teacher, why did you come to Mount Cang?

Because you are here.

Lord Fan.

Did you lose something?

Were you eavesdropping?

I think it's Official Wu.

What do you mean?

He has been following you in secret

because he wants to fight against Official Wu.

Lord Fan,

you were taught by Official Wu.

I don't mind if we fight.

Don't move.

If you move, I'll poison you to death.

Everything's fine, right?

I think it should be fine.

Leave!

Just pretend we don't exist.

You can pretend that I don't exist as well.

All of them

are acting mysteriously.

Teacher, let's go. You're at Mount Cang.

Come and have supper at my place. Wait. It's this way.

Hold on.

Let me tell you something.

I went to Jiangnan to investigate a murder case.

After the murderer arrived at the capital,

he went missing.

There are two possibilities. One, it was Official Wu.

What is the other possibility?

Someone hid the murderer

in the capital.

Even the Overwatch Council can't find anything?

Of course.

How many people in the capital have such an ability?

Wait, that's a clue as well.

I've come to stay with you in Mount Cang for a few days.

This case is very strange.

I've been investigating in this direction since returning to the capital.

I wanted to meet you after I got a result.

I am in the dark.

Teacher.

You've nearly treated

your wife's tuberculosis.

When you go back,

let her take one pill each day.

She will be treated

when she finishes the medicine.

Eternal union.

His Majesty wants to see it.

So do I.

Why don't you retire? I'll support you.

Nonsense.

- I'm serious. - Enough.

The grandmaster is hiding in the capital.

If I don't find him,

I can't sleep and eat at peace.

Teacher.

Stop it.

Give me a grandson soon.

When he grows up,

I'll teach him how to use poison.

I'm going back.

Promise me.

Don't risk your life.

Don't worry.

I'm more afraid of death than you.

Mr. Wu Zhu.

You took the box?

- Come with me. - You've been sitting here and no one has discovered you?

It's reasonable.

After all, who are you?

Mr. Wu Zhu,

Shadow seems interested in you.

He has been trying to fight you.

I'm not interested.

Mr. Wu Zhu, what are you looking for?

Is there something inside?

Young Lady used to live in Mount Cang.

My mother hid this?

They were supposed to be destroyed.

Just like this box.

Did my mother destroy it herself?

- Why? - She followed the law.

Items that are not from this era

cannot be kept.

Who's law?

- The Divine Temple's? - I think so.

You think so?

I forgot.

In that case,

why didn't she destroy all of them?

Why did she leave these three items?

The items that are not from this era

cannot be kept for this reset world.

History should not be affected.

However, you are different.

You are a mistake.

A mistake?

You are from this world

and also originate from the past.

You are a mistake.

An error.

An unknown variable.

You are also a logical flaw.

These are Young Lady's words.

Does my memory

come from the Divine Temple?

I don't know.

I'm just repeating what she said.

Young Lady left you

a glimmer of hope.

Fix it,

and you'll get three chances to change fate.

How do I fix it?

Go to Jiangnan.

Visit the Three Great Workshops.

The Three Great Workshops

is the foundation of the Imperial Treasury.

Everyone knows that the foundation of the Imperial Treasury's predecessor

is the Three Great Workshops.

All the novelty items from previous years

came from Jiangnan.

Let me ask all of you.

Who is controlling the Three Great Workshops now?

It's the Ming family of Jiangnan.

The Ming family has been following Princess Yun Rui's orders.

Will they really hand over the Three Great Workshops?

Even if the Ming family is the richest in Jiangnan,

they still can't go against the imperial edict.

I'm sure they won't.

What are they handing over

and how they do it

are crucial.

We are all businessmen.

Don't you know that?

In that case, the future is bleak for Fan Xian

after taking over the Imperial Treasury.

That's right. We mustn't let him fool us.

If we buy treasury bonds from him,

how will he pay us back in the future?

You are right. I will never buy it.

Then, are we leaving

after sleeping one night?

The person who buys is an idiot.

Yes. The person who buys is an idiot.

- Idiot. - Cheers.

Cheers.

These are items from another era.

What is inside the Three Great Workshops? They can even fix this?

You will find out when you see for yourself.

I must go to Jiangnan.

I must help my mother

take back her assets.

Why didn't she place them both together?

Can't she place them both in the box?

Young Lady left them for you

but she didn't want you to fix them.

Why?

When the Divine Temple changes destiny,

it leaves a mark in the future.

I don't understand this at all.

When an item from the Divine Temple is overused,

in the future

you will still head to the Divine Temple.

This is serious idealism.

I'm waiting for you to come to Jiangnan.

That is the time when you can truly face the grandmaster.

Fighting the grandmaster with this?

- Isn't this bullying? - Not necessary.

What do you mean?

Having this might not be enough to defeat the grandmaster?

That's right.

Grandmaster is a human too.

How can he dodge a weapon that's not from this era?

Do I look like a normal person?

A grandmaster

is no longer bound by the human's common sense.

Doesn't it make him a monster?

I guess.

News from the palace.

His Majesty wants Fan Xian to return to the capital to attend the festival.

What about the treasury bond issue?

His Majesty did not mention it.

Have you heard?

About the Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival?

The festival is unimportant.

His Majesty is probably waiting for Fan Xian

because of his literary talents.

Yes. That's right.

Poetry and songs are nothing much.

He still can't handle the responsibility of the Imperial Treasury.

- That's right. - What are you...

Me?

I'm going to the outhouse.

As for me, I need to take a stroll in the morning.

Please be on your way.

See you later.

Right. I'm going this way.

Didn't you go to take a stroll?

Is this your outhouse?

You impressed me as well.

How did your stroll end up here?

It must be right.

You...

Lord Fan.

You must keep the 50,000 taels you promised!

I'll go back and retrieve the money immediately.

I'll return by today.

Why are you here as well?

What did you say yesterday?

This idiot...

The idiot you see here

has bought the treasury bond.

Farewell.

- It's done. - It's all right.

Wan Er, wipe your hands.

Fan Xian, something's not right.

Perhaps someone didn't bring enough money

and went home to retrieve it.

I made a rough calculation.

It's more than 20 million taels here.

The number is limited and there's a premium price

but it is still sold out.

This is all thanks to you.

The Imperial Treasury's bond has been distributed.

Why are you so happy?

After all, they chose to buy the bonds

because His Majesty invited me to the flower viewing.

With His Majesty's grace, your future will be bright.

By choosing to share the burden of the debt,

you will be

someone who supports them in the future.

Yes.

It is a kind of investment.

However, none of them truly understand

what the treasury bond means.

The national fortune is related to the currency.

That means the meaning of wealth

has far exceeded the limits of the past.

Fan Xian,

I've been thinking about the things you said.

What's between the Qing Kingdom and wealth

is not something as simple as the national fortune.

There are still some other connections.

These merchants have chosen to believe in treasury bonds

and the future of the Imperial Treasury

because His Majesty trusts you.

So, they don't only value you

but also His Majesty,

the royal family's credit,

and the Qing Kingdom's credit.

That's right. The amount of gold and silver is limited.

The Qing Kingdom's credit is the foundation of the currency.

That's right.

Not just the Qing Kingdom.

Northern Qi's credit

also represents its wealth.

So, a kingdom's credit is its wealth.

A kingdom's credit

is wealth.

It is the foundation of the currency.

What is missing in between?

Currency.

Credit.

Let's go out.

Let him think alone.

Currency.

Wealth.

Credit.

Wealth.

Currency.

Credit.

What's going on with Si Zhe?

He has seen a new world.

This kid is a genius

when it comes to business.

Both of you are the same.

It's different.

I have another memory.

To a certain extent, it's cheating.

If our bodies are swapped,

at least in business,

I can't comprehend as good as him.

He is better than me in this.

That's good.

Wan Er,

sorry.

- What's wrong? - I'm afraid we can't stay in Mount Cang for long.

Of course.

His Majesty is waiting for you to attend the festival.

I've prepared everything for so long,

but it still comes down

to his word in the end.

He is the ruler.

The ruler has been the center of the world since ancient times.

When the festival is over,

let's go to Jiangnan together.

Me too?

My mother established the Three Great Workshops in Jiangnan.

Right now, it is still the foundation of the Imperial Treasury.

These are the traces she left in this world.

I think

I should go and see it with you.

A kingdom's credit

is connected to the currency.

To balance these two,

a shop is needed.

But I've never seen a shop like this.

What should this shop be called?

(Find a musket)

(and practice your aim.)

(Your hand is steady. You are a budding talent.)

(Protecting Fan Xian)

(is a secret.)

(You want me to protect my brother)

(to resist the grandmaster?)

(Not to resist him)

(but to kill him.)

(Kill a grandmaster)

(or perhaps me.)

How long are they planning to stand there?

If you dare disturb them,

I'll poison you.

Tell me. Will Official Wu appear today?

Whether he appears or not,

you still shouldn't fight him.

You are no match for him.

The result isn't important.

You learn martial arts as well.

You know the reason why.

I don't learn martial arts.

What are you then?

I'm his teacher.

Do you see him as your disciple

or your son?

I don't think Official Wu will be here today.

I'm going back to the capital.

Be careful.

If Wu Zhu is indeed the murderer,

no one will be able to survive in this world.

Disciple or son.

Aren't they the same?

What's wrong?

What did you see?

It's nothing.

All of you have worked hard.

What is this?

It's... It's nothing.

I saw it.

You bought a musket?

Yes.

Is someone bullying you?

No.

I'm just interested.

That's good to hear. Be careful when you use it.

Where's Si Zhe?

He has been in a trance recently.

He's here.

Fan Xian. Ruo Ruo.

I'm coming.

- It's time to leave. - Of course.

We've been waiting for you.

No, Ruo Ruo. I'm saying that I should go to Northern Qi.

Northern Qi?

I've discussed it with Fan Xian.

Mother agreed as well.

Have you thought about what you should do

as the director of trade?

I've been thinking,

and it's becoming clearer.

I've been thinking about what you said over the last few days.

National credit and foundation of currency.

I think a shop is needed to maintain the balance.

If the shop is opened in the Qing Kingdom,

it's probably doomed to fail.

The shop must be in Northern Qi.

Northern Qi just lost a battle.

Businesses are waiting to flourish. It's a good opportunity.

I can grasp this opportunity.

This is a shop that's never seen before.

I'm a pioneer.

Pessimistically speaking, we'll make some money.

Optimistically speaking,

the national fortune of Northern Qi

will be in the grasp of my hands.

Have you come up with a name?

Yes. Help me out.

Look. A shop that sells rice is called a rice shop.

A shop that sells textile is a textile shop.

This is related to the money.

Calling it a money shop is too direct.

It's very vulgar.

Money is silver.

So, we'll call it Fan's shop!

Why did you mention silver?

No. Here's what I think.

We are the pioneers.

The Fan family needs to be written into the history books.

You can think about the name again.

Fan's shop is bad?

Let's call it Xian's shop.

Ruo's shop.

Zhe's shop?

Forget it. I'll think about it on the way later.

Fan Xian, do you know? I'm very excited right now.

It feels like I finally know

what I'm living for.

This is called a life goal.

Yes! I've found my life goal!

Lord Fan, it's the palace guards.

They are here to stop me.

The Black Cavalry awaits your order.

We can rush them at any time.

Stop. They are the palace guards.

His Majesty's army.

Don't worry.

The Black Cavalry is the world's strongest army.

We will never lose.

No. Do you think I'm worried about that?

Qi Nian is saying that rushing the palace guards is a serious crime.

President Chen has ordered us

to obey Chief Inspector Fan at Mount Cang.

The Black Cavalry only obeys military orders.

Someone is coming.

Isn't he someone we know?

Lord Fan,

it has been a long time.

Commander Gong, you should be guarding the palace.

Why have you left the palace today?

His Majesty ordered me to leave the palace for official matters.

Commander Gong, I wish you a smooth journey.

Well, should we make way for you?

His Majesty is ordering

you to come with us.

All of you came

as soon as I left Mount Cang.

All of you are well informed.

I only obey orders.

I don't understand everything else.

Well, are you going to lead the way while we follow you?

There's no need for so many people.

Having you follow us is enough.

You said it's His Majesty's orders.

Do you have the imperial edict?

So small?

It's His Majesty's verbal orders.

We should save money

whenever we can.

His Majesty

is really frugal.

(Go with Gong Dian)

Lord Fan,

please.

Lord Fan,

this has been the royal family's flower-viewing area since ancient times.

It's built on a cliff and suspended in the air.

This is the legendary

Xuankong Temple.

(Xuankong Temple)

This is the earliest temple in the Qing Kingdom.

It is said

that it was built brick by brick

by ascetics who worship the temple.

Although all temples in the world

is to worship the legendary Divine Temple,

only the real Divine Temple

is unique.

The power of the people

is incredible.

Lord Fan, you prioritize

people more.

Of course.

Otherwise, why call it the mortal world?

The Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival begins in a few days.

Our work

is to move them

to the temple on top.

Why should I be here?

His Majesty said

you need to move these pots

to the temple on your own.

Is there anything special about these pots?

I don't know.

I'm just carrying out the order.

Once every three years?

It has become a tradition.

If someone is up to something bad,

this is a chance.
