Merchant

I see. Merchant Lord Jin doesn’t know exactly who the attackers were. But I do. They were sent by the Dong Clan Merchant Group. (TL Note: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)) What I know about them comes from my previous life—after Merchant Lord Jin was attacked, the furious Emperor ordered an investigation, and they eventually found…

I poked Dae-seok in the ribs in response to that question. “Yes, of course.” “Is this salt… real salt?” “Of course! Would the officials from the prefecture office be here helping us if it were fake?” Only then did it seem a little more convincing. People started lining up. Still not quite enough, though. Just…

The Dan Clan Merchant Lord was receiving a report from his subordinate. “Salt?” “It’s the information he provided. He claims he overheard the Eunhae Merchant Lord’s third son say there was intelligence from higher up that buying salt in advance would yield massive profits.” “Is that so?” “An epidemic has started spreading in the Hadong…

At Hyang-ok’s words, Uncle shook his head and said, “I understand how you feel, but it’s not time yet.” “Not time yet?” “Seo-ho’s thought up something rather interesting.” At Uncle’s words, Hyang-ok turned her gaze toward me.

“Whoa, whoa!” A group of people had just arrived in Chengdu, Sichuan. They were from the Eunhae Merchant Group headquarters. “You arrived earlier than expected.” Leading them was the temporary captain, Clerk Im Gi-cheol of Gap-rank from the Finance Pavilion.

The children started getting curious. “A secret song?” “What is it?” “Tell us too!” “I’m not supposed to… but since you said I look like a Self-Dancing Doll, I’ll tell you.” This was exactly the method I’d planned. Change public perception of the Self-Dancing Dolls through a song. Catching the rat hiding in the Sichuan…

“Whoa, whoa!” We arrived at the front gate of the Tang Clan. As I helped the child down from the horse, a gatekeeper caught sight of us and rushed over in surprise. “Young Master!” “Young Master Jo-ung!” Hearing the name Tang Jo-ung (唐助雄), I could confirm without doubt that the child I’d rescued was the…

I looked at the Escort Guards. They shook their heads at my gaze. “Our top priority is your safety, Young Master.” “I know.” But how could I walk away after hearing a child beg for their life? It’s not like I’m incapable of helping. “Still, I want to save that child.” Moved by my earnest…

The next day. A meeting was held at the Eunwol Pavilion, and I attended as well. “We’ve found the origin of the rumor.” Father began with those words and pushed forward a sheet of paper that had been placed in front of him. “This is a report from the Hao Clan.” So he used the…

A village in Sichuan Province. There, the Dan Clan Merchant Group had taken root. They mainly made and sold decorative dolls. The dolls they crafted were quite beautiful and even recognized for their artistic value. So officials and nobles, or anyone with a bit of money, would decorate their display shelves with dolls from the…
