Episode 6
Great Head Merchant! Great Head Merchant! If you abandon me like this...
Are you going to abandon this Gil So Gae?
Is it that hard to make him drink a bucket of water?
This rascal!
Stay away!
So Gae!
Don't come near me! If you do, you're all dead!
You'll really die, you rascal!
T-that, that bastard.
-So Gae!-Catch that bastard!
-So Gae!-Stop him!
Did you tell him to kill me?
Answer me. Before I set everything on fire.
You crazy bastard!
Won't you hurry up and come out? Do you really want to die?!
Even if I will be dead, I need to hear his answer.
I'll take him out, Great head merchant!
Let him be for a minute.
Have a seat.
When you are feeling hurt, hot water soothes you.
Here you are.
Answer me! Was it your order or Maeng's doing?
I said put that down and have a seat!
According to people, *Shin Suk Joo(Great Head Merchant of Yukuijeon)
liquor, women, and play ruin a person.
But there's something different that kills a person.
Hearing things you shouldn't hear,
saying things you shouldn't say,
and like you, seeing things they shouldn't see. That's how they die!
I'm sorry...I...I am sorry.
When you look into your boss' secrets, you are risking your life.
Do you understand, you bastard?
Please forgive me.
Let me go, you bastard.
Great Head Merchant!
Great Head Merchant! Great Head Merchant!
I won't tell anyone about it!
Think of the 10 years I spent here and forgive me. Forgive me just this once, Great Head Merchant.
Burn all of them!
Yes, Great Head Merchant.
Never again...
I won't take a glance at it, reveal it, and memorize it any more.
Please forgive me, Great Head Merchant.
So Gae.
No matter how big a beast is, they die when their jugular is bitten.
You have already put your mouth on my jugular.
Great Head Merchant...Great Head Merchant!
What a cheeky bastard!
A thing like you dares to go through the Great Head Merchant's storage and you can still beg for your life?
You crazy bastard!
Great Head Merchant! Great Head Merchant! Shin Suk Joo!
I... will... come back to YukUijeon.
I will come back through this gate.
Remove hanging board the Shin's
Hang on hanging board the Gill's
You! Why do you want to become the Yukuijeon Great Head Merchant so badly?
Because it's the King of the Merchants.
Because it's a position where you can control Joseon with money!
Hey you, do you have some money?
Ah... yes.
10 nyangs.
Here you are.
40 years ago, when I first set foot into the YUkuijeon,
that's how much I had for the seed money.
Let's see what you can do with that.

Force him to drink water until his stomach is about to burst!
Yes, sir.
What a piece of cake!
-Search him. -Hurry.
-Wait!-What?
He's alive.
Move.
He is going to die soon. Search him!
You search him too. Quickly now.
-What? -What's this in his hand?
-I have to unfold it.-Unfold it, unfold it.
It won't unfold easily.
You pig-like person. You don't even have any strength.
-Look, look! -It must be really precious, it's really not unfolding.
Move. You have to cut the fingers for this.
Hey, if it is money for his last journey, I feel guilty.
Why are you feeling guilty? We have to cut them!
-Right? Hurry and just cut it off. -Move.
Oh, oh...Dokkaebi...It is fire from Dokkaebi.
Dongpal what are you doing?
Let's go quickly! Then, Dokkaebi can have fun here.
-Wait. Wait...-What?
Wait a minute! We can not get money for his last journey, but we have to get a topknot of hair.
Oh, yeah. Hold it. Hold it!
Dokkabi, you don't need this topknot of hair.
I got it.
-Let's go. Let's go -Quickly. Quickly.
Dokkaebi! Dokkaebi!
*Gae Ddong(Merchant of salted seafood)
Oh my god!
Save me. Save...me
They said they were going to cut off a live person's fingers... I got involved for no reason.
How annoying!
We sold cows! We sold cows!
We sold exactly 3 cows.
Now, we are members of Songpa Horse House.
Give me breakfast. It was really hard selling 3 cows.
You really did well..
Hey! People who can't even differentiate between a cow head and a chick's head, what cows would you sell?!
How great my Bong Sam is! I'm very proud of you.
Sister-in-law!
Ah, you startled me.
You don't even know,
we all have experience in wheeling and dealing in business anywhere from 10 to 30 years.
When I take a look at a thing, I can figure it out right away. Therefore, you can't never sell a cow.
Right..
Whom did you sell cows to?
I brought them here.
-Come here, come here. -Come in.
We sold one cow to each of these three villages.
Aigoo!
Hey! I knew it would be like this.
They don't have money to buy even firewood, then how do they have money to buy cows?
Ah, right! From the early morning, to the one who just came back.
Why are you throwing your sister-in-laws' straw shoes?
What? Wangbal, you!
What?
Don't worry! You don't need to worry about it.
Everything will work out well. They are coming, coming.
What are you doing? Have a seat!
Here here.
Deposit is 30 nyangs, and paying twice a year.
10 percent of payment is not enough for the deposit.
They all scrapped their money to purchase a village cow.
If they have a cow, then yield on their farmland will increase. We'll collect the money for sure.
Hey punk! The cattle market doesn't even take Yuegijeon's check.
If you're going to sell it like this, then I would sell more than 300 cows a day.
Why should you have to make deals with cash only?
All the well-to-do merchants do credit deals.
You give them the goods first,
then collect money once or twice a month is the norm for business transactions.
No..No..
The tradition in the cattle market remains the same from 1000 years ago. Cash only.
Why...why?
That...is because a cow is a living creature.
The cow could get sick or die before we receive all the money.
There could be arguments and lawsuits for various reasons.
That's why we do only cash business.
If the purchaser claims the cattle was sick and the seller says no it was due to
the purchaser handling the cattle wrong, an argument could arise. Then who is right?
Somebody can be killed over it.
Send them all back.
I can't do that.
We are merchants.
We sell to make profit. We don't sell charity!
Hey! Are we Sunhae-Chung or what?
The king does the charity work. Tell them to return home!
They even printed their fingerprints on this contract.
How do I nullify this?
What...what?
Huh...well.
This is something I learned at Dongmong-Chung on the first hour.
Soldiers sell their lives and farmers sell their sweat.
Business is selling the credit and told me to sell the cows.
Look, I already took a deposit.
Whether this deal is right or wrong,
it's already a finished deal. I can't nullify it.
Then,
can you guys take the responsibility?
3 cows cost 900 nyang, but the money you guys collected is only 90 nyang.
If the both of you write a promissory note worth 810 nyang, then I will give out the cows.
Apologize 100 times and have them return home.
Return them while I'm being nice.
You must.

Earn as much money as you can
and become the Great Head Merchant of the Yukuijeon.
The nation's king resides in Gyeongbokgung and the king for merchants like us
is the Great Head Merchant of the Yukuijeon. So you should follow in Shin Suk Joo's footsteps
and become the Great Head Merchant of the Yukuijeon.
And
become the King for merchants like us.
You must...
You must do that.
Father, I got kicked out by Shin Suk Joo.
Wait and see! It won't end like this.
I'll feed Merchant Maeng water and roll him in a straw mat, then I'll become the next Head Merchant of Yugijeon.
If I don't became the head merchant, then I won't be your son but a dog's son...
At least...
Look!
Shin Suk Joo acknowledged me. I earned 2 nyang.
Even though I lost my hair to the bandits, I didn't lose this.
I miss you so much today.
Father...
I miss you, father!
Father!
Bong Sam. Bong Sam.
Bong Sam.
I didn't come to this Stable Inn to be a slave without a pay.
Well, are you listening to me?
If you keep being like this, I'm going to leave by myself.
Even if Head Merchant Song says it isn't,
we can't differentiate between a dog and a cow.
Ayi!
Aigoo.
It doesn't make sense that we sell cows.
Aigoo, you human. It's not important whether we recognize cows or not.
Differentiate Songpa Stable Inn's cattle from others...
Right. Distinguishing them is important.
Sister-in-law.
Man Chi.
I've seen paintings of gisaeng but never seen paintings of cattle.
Aigoo. Bong Sam, we are looking at something interesting because of you.
Aigoo. What are you doing on expensive paper?
Hey!
You two are double lumps of trouble in this Stable Inn.
You are lumps of cancer! We should have just cut you off before you got big.
But what to do, we still have 2 days remaining.
Why is time going so slow?
Hey!
Aigoo. Hey, shorty.
Let's go together! It still hurts where I got beat so I can't walk fast.
Hey, let's rest and go!
Ah! If I saved you, that should be enough. Why are you sticking like flypaper to me and making such a fuss?
I said hurry up and go. You go on your own way and I'll go on mine.
-I have to return your clothes and... -Take them off and get lost!
Just go! Go! Go!
If I am a man, there is something I have to do.
What's the relation between you getting revenge on Shin Suk Joo and sticking like flypaper to me?
Right.
Enemy? Of course I have to get revenge.
If I am a man, the first thing I have to do is to take revenge on my enemy.
But, kindness? I have to pay it back too.
That's the second thing a man has to do.
Did you take me for a shameless rascal that I'd just leave without paying my debt for saving my life?
Until I return to the Yukuijeon,
let's carry bags of salted seafood together.
There are no merchant groups in Joseon that will accept me.
Anyway how did you play with that light at Ohkwansoo?
A rose mallow!
I just dried a rose mallow and put it on a stick.
If you light it...
Wow, you have good talent.
Well, would that be a talent...
I go alone. I have to keep my stuff.
Don't worry!
From now on, I, your brother, will be your fellow and protect you.
I am Gae Ddong.
I am Gil So Gae.
What's going on?!
Ah, Hyungnim. Look at what this rotten man is doing.
He's saying he's going to fire stamp our cow's butt!
Hey, you have to leave tomorrow.
Tomorrow, it'll be exactly 10 days. 10 days.
When that moon moves that much, it's the end for you!
I told you to try and sell cows but how is it that there aren't any quiet days?
Chun Bong Sam is taking three cows from Jo Seong Joon of Songpa Stable on credit.
If the balance is not paid in full in 2-years, then you'll pay it yourself?
I will put the name Chun Bong Sam on the line and pay it back.
You, you have only two balls, then how come you pay back 800 nyangs by yourself.
Ah, seriously. What's going to happen if you run away, then?
What are you going to do?!
Cattle Broker Elder!
Diligent and earnest! If you are diligent and earnest, then you won't go hungry.
That was my father's last words.
I know I've played around a bit but I am confident that I learned well at Dongmong-Chung.
But...am I really not worth that much?
If you can not pay it back,
you will have to work at the Songpa Horse House as a cook forever.
I'll make sure that won't happen.
We can just differentiate between our Songpa Horse House cows and other cows.
Hence the mark.
And make the records like this.
What's there that can't be done because it's a cow?
Cattle are a commodity too.
We must offer credit transactions to the people who need it.
Without the credit deals, you can't be the best merchant anywhere in this Joseon.
Hyung, hold on tight. Hold on tight.
[Songpa Horse House]
Yes.
Hey, hey. Hey!
Hey!
[8 years Later]
[Kangkyeong Finance]
-It worked out well. -Yes, yes, yes.
-Aigoo.-Yo!
I am in the room without the owner.
Wow, these dishes are amazing.
Go ahead and eat.
I got your notice earlier, but what is it all about?
You need money to go and buy cows at the Songpa horse house?
Lumber business deals at this time are quite big.
Once the work is done, I'll sell the cows and pay your back. So please let me borrow some money.
S-So... you will pass up Yichun cattle market and Yeju cattle market,
as well as Gapyong and Haengsung cattle markets.
So you're saying you're going to go and buy cows at the Songpa Horse House?
That means the cows from the Songpa Horse House must have something different.
Yes, you're right.
People want to take the cattle from Songpa Stable even if they have to pay a premium on commission.
I heard of them selling the cows after fire stamping them on their butt.
Is there a reason to buy cattle paying more on commission?
Of course there is. Of course there is.
That mediocre Songpa Stable,
has become big like that for a reason.
[Name and Price] [Owner: Chun Bong Sam] [Bloodline and Characteristics]
Decide on this one.
You are like taking a bride as pretty as a poppy flower!
Now now if you've looked around enough, let's seal the deal.
Give and take, take and give.
Here.
Here. Confirm, confirm it.
Now.
Now the commission!
Goomoon: Brokerage
Here! 1 nyang is for a bonus. Buy a bowl of drink.
This is not just for a bowl but enough for three jars.
Thank you.
Cut some of it off.
You take 1% from this person but you are taking 2% from me. Why is that?
Is my money different?
You don't understand. That rascal will give birth to twins.
For sure she will!
Twins! How would he know that?
Ah, t-that is...
no matter how much he know about cattle there is no way he'd know the inside of a cow.
That's not the case.
Here. Look at this.
[Songpa Stable Cattle Report]
Male. 5 years old.
Name: Bao.
Father is a winner of Chungdo bull fight.
Although he has a short temper, he works quickly.
This is a cattle detailed report, isn't it?
He recorded bloodlines of all the cattle business transactions he made.
I've written all of it on here. All of it.
That cow's mother...you can see, right?
This rascal is Dasan, and the parents of this... let's see where they are...
Oh, here she is. Here she is.
Here. This is Ttangsoon, his mother.
This cow gave birth 6 times
and 3 of those 6 times, they were twins.
You know, right? Twins.
What will you do if not twins?
Eh.
It is 3 out of 6, hence a 50:50 chance. That's why you are taking it at 180 nyang.
If she gives birth to a twin every time, then you won't be able to purchase her at 360 nyang.
Raise her well with thoughts of praying to heaven.
Then for sure, once or twice, she'll give birth to twins.
They will. It's all written here.
Hey whoo!
Oh!
Now, let's go and have a refreshing drink.
Even more, in case of a village cow,
they can make a purchase on credit if all the resident people guarantee.
Credit transaction?
I can understand credit transactions on silk, cotton and grains. But a cow?
Oh, oh...It's true!
Hello.
But why? What is wrong?
This octopus will give strength.
I heard they put so much efforts into it.
They manage the cows that were purchased on credit.
When we had cow disease for a short while,
they patrolled the neighborhood and even fed herbal medicine to the cattle.
Please promise me you'll be okay.
Giving cattle on credit takes a lot of moxie.
There is no one who can come up with that idea at Songpa Horse House.
I know those troublesome workers well.
They say he is Mr.Bong.
Mr.Bong.
What? Mr.Bong?
Mr.Bong?
It's been 8 years since he entered the Songpa Horse House.
He picked up a lump of fortune for free.
Because of him, they finalized the deal of 10,000 head of cattle.
So they want to celebrate with various merchant owners and cattle brokers.
Even I got the invitation.
Let's go together. I have a old debt from them.
I'll follow you.
I will, too. Let's go together.
You?
This and that...I have things to buy at the Yukuijeon too. It's suffocating.
Let's go and sightsee in Hanyang.
All right. Let's go.
What are you talking about?
If he is called Mr., he should have some age.
Besides "Mr." comes after the surname. Mr. Bong.
That accounting form is a little imperfect but he used the accounting form of a Gaesung Merchant.
Sa Gae Chi Bu: Gaesung marchant's accounting form
Why did I think of my father when I heard "Mr. Bong" and peddlers.
My father too used to give money in advance
to divers before they brought sea cucumbers.
People were against paying in advance because no one knows how the sea changes and affects the living things in it.
Yeah, I know.
I know it's my stubbornness and my willingness after being disappointed countless times.
Bong Sam hated business so he never wanted to be a peddler.
Do bu kun: peddler's lower language
But still, there is something called a "possibility".
I will check him.

Cattle Broker Elder!
Please come!
Please come here quickly!
Now we sent away the cattle guardian too.
Today, this Songpa Stable
celebrates finalizing the deal for 10,000 head of cattle.
So everyone, let's have a drink joyfully!
Aigoo, is there anything you want more?
-Wang Bal, give them more liquor here. -Yes.
Yes, Hyungnim.
How is the food? Does it suit your taste?
-Give them more pork.. -Ok.
Cattle Broker!
Aigoo. You are Merchant Jang of Yangpyung.
Congrats!
Congratulations from me too.
Have you forgotten me?
What brings you here?
I came here to collect the old debt.
All this time my money grew and grew
to make this fine Stable, I am really pleased.
What?
What debt?
You don't have any white hair. If A person is old enough but immature, then you don't age. Is that person you?
Why would you bring a tail here Merchant?!
No one welcomes you.
Let's talk about the Songpa Horse House owing me 2,400 pieces of silver, later, slowly.
Let's have a drink.
What are you doing? Bring me a drink.
Today we have everything but beef!
Here comes boiled pork!
Well, Mr. Bong looks younger than I thought.
Huh? Young? He isn't much different from me.
No way.
He and I are alumni of Dongmong-Chung.
A person looking young relates to diet.
Things you eat.
He consumes fatty food, so he shines. But...
he's really old.
Ah, here.
Which merchant group are you from? Go and take a seat. I'll give you some food.
Is Mr. Bong's surname Bong?
This person!
Of course. Bong Sam.
Which clan of Bong?
Well...maybe...the Hanam Bongs...Bong Sam.
Bong Sam.
You, bastard!
What that means is... three.
Mr. Bong's father had a dream and in it three phoenix
flew into his chest.
That's why the three phoenix "Bong Sam (phoenix three)"
That's why he's Bong Sam. The end!
Who came last year, Mr. Bong.He doesn't forget. Come here again.
Have some liquor. Liquor, liquor, have some liquor.
You know...my cow had two calves.
-Aigoo. -Ah, really?
You really did have a good fortune.
And both of the calves are female.
This is all because of you, Mr. Bong.
I'll treat you with drinks today.
It is all because you are fortunate person.
Lucky guy! Lucky guy!
Here.
Your heir has an extraordinary talent for business.
Sang Jae: ability of business
You are right. Talent like his doesn't come around very often.
Over there, the heir to Songpa Stable, come here and take a drink.
Hyungnim hurry and go there. He says to take a drink.
No. I don't like him.
Even so, he is a well-known Kangkyeong Merchant owner and very rich.
Oh, I said I'm not happy to see him.
Eh he, please go there. Don't be shy.
Them, they, why are they like that?
Ah! I said I don't want to, so why are you doing this?
Hurry.
Since a lot of time has passed stop talking about the money now.
I will drink 1 glass for you
so erase the debt from this head of yours.
Hey there, Mr.Bong.
Merchant Kim.
Mr. Bong, come here quickly.
Second generation heir to Songpa Stable! Come and have a drink with me.
What did you just say right now?
Man Chi.
What? What about?
Nonsense about the second generation heir or whatever!
Did I make a mistake? I just listened to what he said.
Again I am saying that young man is the second generation heir to Songpa!
You, son of b*tch!
-Merchant Elder! -Man Chi!
Deuk Gae! Deuk Gae!
Why are you like that?
What are you doing? Are you crazy?
Right. It's good you came.
You are way too happy because you are called the second of the Head Merchant of Songpa Horse House.
Hyungnim, are you wasted?
He is a guest who came to the party of our Horse House.
Let go of me quickly. Let go.
Won't you all stop? Drop that hand.
What are you doing right now?
I am not at the age to suffer from hearing loss. The Cattle Broker told me for sure.
All right. I've wanted to listen to your thought for a long time.
Who is the second Head Merchant of our Songpa Horse House?
I said hurry up and tell me!
Who is the next Head Merchant of the Songpa Horse House?
Why can't you tell me?
I said tell me!
I didn't want to say it in this way in a place like this.
Man Chi, the next Head Merchant of our Songpa Horse House...
The second Head Merchant of the Songpa Horse House is...
Bong Sam.
Head Merchant Elder.
Don't even give me that head cracking open talk!
Hyungnim.
You...when we spread the straw mat at Dongmong-Chung
I should have busted your head.
Man Chi!
Stay down.
If you get up, I'll really kill you.
Merchant Song, don't get so agitated.
That's just how the world runs.
This festival is really fun. It's really fun!
Won't you keep that mouth of yours still?!
I'll keep it still.
Sungnim, you should wake up.
To this rascal still with peach fuzz on his face,
you're giving our merchant group!
Whether it's a chicken head or a cow head,
he won't even be able to distinguish it.
But what? Entrust him with our Horse House?
Because you are not getting old,
you got senile first!
Hyungnim, hyungnim, hyungnim. Get rid of this.
Your foot stench is making me gag.
You're drunk.
People, there are so many people here
and you're drunk. Get rid of this, quickly.
I said stay down, you...
Man Chi!
What should we do about this? What should we do?
Uh right. You took me for a fool. Is that it?
Did I say I was going to be the Head Merchant?
Who said they were going to become
the owner of this Horse House when it smells like cow poop?
I won't take it even if you give it to me.
I won't be a Head Merchant!
This damn thing!
Hey! Hey, come here. Stop there!
Oh, fine. That's good.
Because if you don't come, I can just go.
-Man Chi! -Aigoo, what do to do?
What should we do about this? What should we do?
Man Chi!
Hey! Stop there!
I said stop there!
He's really mad.
He'll be dead when he gets caught.
You should have done well.
Do you think you're the only one suffering?
I'm suffering too. Me too!
If only you had done just a bit better,
to a young punk who can't tell the difference between a chicken head and bird head,
talk of putting me in charge, why would it even be discussed?
What did you say?
Ah, I really hate this. I hate it!
I am sick of this stable or merchant inn whatever!
This two faced rascal!
Ah, that's not it.
Bong Sam is bit like that, but
he is not two faced.
Our Bong Sam...
If you don't like the merchant inn, then why stay for 8 years
and expand your assets to 17 head of cattle?!
Who wouldn't know that you're doing that so
you could become the 2nd Head Merchant of the Songpa Horse House? Does anyone not know?!
I said I won't take it even if you give it to me!
Cattle broker of Songpa Stable!
You take the whole thing in one bite!
-All of it! -What?
-Bong Sam. -Hey.
Is our Horse House that laughable in your eyes?
Is it funny?!
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Merchant Team @ Viki
Bong Sam! It's dangerous!
Hey.
Is the Songpa Horse House something you can swallow or not?
This Horse House that Sungnim and I founded,
does it look like a piece of crap in your eyes?!
You don't even know what a Head Merchant is.
What? I'm going so break your head in!
Do you know what becoming the
Head means? Huh?
Do you know what the position of the Head Merchant is?
That means you have to feed and keep alive
the body to the tail.
Bong Sam, don't.
That means there are countless numbers of people looking up to me for their life.
Do you know how lonely that position is?
Do you know how scary that position is?
Becoming a Head Merchant means you have to put your life on the line.
Do you know how my father died?
Do you know how So Gae hyung's father died?
Would I do that crappy work?
Who says so?
I would risk my golden life on
this mere Songpa Horse House?
I won't do it.
Even if I die, I won't become a Head Merchant!
Bong Sam. Bong Sam!
That bastard.
-Man Chi. -I'm really angry right now.
Please ignore this so you don't get insulted.
Let's have a drink.

You came home early younger brother.
You came?
Uh!
Why are you doing the exercise that the ones below you do?
Aigoo.
Aigoo, I'm tired.
The day you tried to step on me getting Min Gyeom Ho involved before...
Do you remember what Shin Seok Joo told you how to win?
I did it so I could live long.
Very long.
Isn't that an awesome phrase?
What's the use of wealth?
It is nothing if you die early.
Those are rightful words, my brother.
Rest.
Aigoo.
2. 3.
Even 10 years is short for a man's revenge, as they say.
You controlled yourself well.
I am bigger than that.
How was the Songpa Horse House's festival?
Aigoo, they hit and fought between themselves.
What a mess! They were fighting to be the next heir.
The 2nd Head Merchant is Song Man Chi or Teacher Bong.
I've never seen a worse mess.
That's how it usually is.
If the first generation establishes a business,
then the 2nd generation, in the process of deciding the next heir,
gets into fights and ends up ruining the business.
People can share the hard times.
Humans are the ones who find it very hard to share money and power.
After you build fat around your belly,
then you also don't want to share with your own siblings.
That is why you rarely see any merchant inn lasting to the 3rd generation.
Aigoo, what a waste.
What's a waste?
Because you couldn't eat the festival food properly?
How fun would it have been if the
Songpa Horse House was the one that was ruined and not the festival?
It would have been fun but they're almost brothers.
Would a 30 year friendship break that easily?
You never know.
They say a woman's jealousy can make a household fall
and a man's jealousy can make a nation fall.
You are so intelligent like this,
you are wasting your talent doing money exchange.
How fun it is!
Just thinking about those 2 cow thieves who stole my money
hitting, smashing, bleeding, and breaking each other is making me happy.
You are right. It is disappointing I couldn't see that.
It's been 18 years, 18 years!
Bong Sam, I haven't met that name as well in 18 years.
You're telling me he's not my younger brother? You're telling me he's not Chun Bong Sam?
He is from the Hanam Bongs and his name is Sam?
That Bong Sam has no relation with me?
That's not possible.
I will go and I will see with my own two eyes.
Bong Sam. Bong Sam. Bong Sam. Aigoo, aigoo. Just go today and talk to them tomorrow.
Broker Song is already full of poison and you might get into a fight due to the booze.
It's better that way. It is better to talk out in the open to minimize misunderstanding.
Is it Bong Sam or me? Quickly pick one of the two.
Is it me or Bong Sam?
Man Chi.
So what is better since Bong Sam joined us?
You're saying that's your answer?
You're saying it's Bong Sam?
Man Chi.
Our generation has passed by.
Even if it's a waste and you're sad, what can you do? It's already not our generation.
Now the only thing left for us is to applaud our juniors.
Let's be the cornerstones for Bong Sam.
We were small timers. We used to take cattle here and there and sold them at the cattle market.
We are just brokers but Bong Sam is different.
So what? The stable got bigger since Bong Sam joined, but what is better now?!
Nothing was better for me.
Fine. The Horse House got bigger.
It grew from a family of 13 to 87.
I don't know who is who.
I get confused even on the names.
So what if Songpa is number 1?!
Monthly salary expense is 240 nyang.
Because of that salary, the root is shaking.
Even when it's like this,
do you like how big the Horse House got?
A merchant
is not set up so the Head Merchant can earn money and save it up.
Then you can be happy making interest like Kim Hak Joon.
Although we could only feed 13 before,
now with legitimate business, at least
we can support 87 people.
Stop it, stop! Instead, why don't you sell the Horse House
and spread it all over Joseon? Spread it all over to the beggars of Joseon!
Man Chi! Every human
has his own aspiration. The Songpa Horse House is...
not something you can put in your aspiration.
So?
So my aspiration is small?
Bong Sam...Bong Sam. Bong Sam!
I don't even want to hear it!
Bong Sam, you bastard!

Let go. I'm going to confirm with my own two eyes.
When the gate opens, I'm going to cross the river and go to Songpa.
I'm going to go to the Horse House and meet the man named Bong Sam.
Whether he's the Bong Sam from Hanam, whether he's my younger brother, Bong Sam,
or if he's my father's son, Chun Bong Sam.
I'm going to check if he's my
younger brother, Chun Bong Sam, I abandoned,
if he is my younger brother Bong Sam.
That friend doesn't match the age.
Stop it! Stop!
I am going to Uiju, Uiju.
I am going to Shinmak of Uiju.
I will go there with my own feet and search for him.
-I got it, got it. -What is wrong Bong Sam?
-No you can't! -I got it.
No you can't!
Oh my!
No, you can not leave.
Ah, seriously. Stop acting like a wife who's trying to stop her husband from cheating. Move out of the way.
Once a woman lets her hair down, she is done and dies in that household.
Once a merchant steps into a Merchant Group, then that place is my place.
Where are you going?
Hyung, the Chun Merchant Group broke down into ruins
and now the Songpa Horse House? Because of me?
No. That can't happen.
Bong Sam.
Well...
Add to your travel money.
Hyung!
Aigoo, what a smell!
Live well. I'm leaving.
I should for our friendship,
where the soup is going the radish kimchi must follow.
Bong Sam!

Please write a round robin.
A person, called Song Man Chi, is having an affair with the Head Merchant's wife
and he ran way with her at night.
Let's split it. Isn't it too big to take over Songpa Horse House by yourself?
Do you want the Songpa Horse House to become hell?
Noona!
Bong Sam, where are you?
Chun So Rae!
-Bong Sam-Ha Ha Ha
