Due to the relationship between science and technology. A lot of things are changing. And not just weapons. Even people's habits are changing.

For example, in the Xianyang region of Guanzhong, which was more developed in the Qin State. The Qin State established a complete system of tap water and sewer pipelines in Xianyang. People no longer have to dig wells for water and dump used wastewater into sewers.

There is not only a complete water supply and sewage system. Every household in the Qin country also has a complete heating system. Even in winter, the people of Qin can take a bath every day. Keep the day clean and tidy.

The advent of ceramic technology, especially a glazing technique, allowed the Qin state to manufacture not only white porcelain and tiles, but also another type of cleaning product. Bathtub. The technology of drilling to make pipes gave the Qin state-owned foundation to apply it to toiletries.

According to the investigation, in the Guanzhong of the Qin State, especially in Xianyang, every household can already meet the requirements of taking a bath every day. The cleanliness of the people of the Qin State suddenly became the country with the best personal hygiene treatment among the Warring States.

To this end, South Korea is also actively establishing a tap water system in Xinzheng and a relatively complete urban sewage drainage system. It is water walking, and the municipal sewage is automatically released without being treated.

Bathing is just a small part of life. People's entertainment activities have also become more diverse. In the past, people didn't do anything after dark. Nowadays, the large-scale popularization of electric lights has begun to enrich people's nightlife.

The traditional system of curfews has been abolished in Xianyang, Qin, but night policing has been greatly strengthened. Xianyang alone has more than 10,000 new-style police. This number is still not enough for Xianyang, which has a population of more than one million. In particular, the security situation in the Xianyang Palace in the old city is still insufficient.

Qin's nighttime security, especially in Xianyang, does need to increase the proportion of investment, and Qin's nighttime life, especially in alcohol consumption, is quite large. This has also led to frequent public order incidents caused by alcohol. For this reason, Qin State has set up a public telephone hall, and there is no need to pay for the dialing of the telephone. The phone number is 123. Just dial the first row of numbers quickly to call the police in time. Then, the police center will arrange for personnel to be dispatched immediately.

The new police of the Qin State are equipped with complete police equipment, and there are more than 120 police vehicles in Xianyang, of which 50 have maintained uninterrupted patrol law and order. There is also a mounted police force of more than 500 personnel, which is dedicated to special situations. It can be said that Xianyang is close to modern urban management. Although in some terms of infrastructure is not yet in place. But it's already pretty good.

Qin people can drink wine, watch singing and dancing performances, and participate in some small gambling games during night activities. The state of Qin issued a legal document that specifically regulated gambling. Legal documents stipulate. In Xianyang, Qin State. The number of gambles cannot be accumulated more than one gold. This one gold will have a special police officer to investigate the scene. The number of chips cannot be greater than one gold. Violators will not only be disqualified from doing business. At the same time, a huge fine of more than 10,000 gold will be issued.

This legal document was issued with people's entertainment requirements in mind. At the same time, there is another side of the gambling that needs to be restricted. That is, it is addictive and leads to bankruptcy. In fact, the main consideration is that the people of the Qin State should not forget to work. It's the work that counts.

In addition to gambling, there are also movies. But at this time, the movie time was only for short films. Usually only half an hour. And it's a short story.,There's no sound.,The color is only black and white.,When playing, someone needs to be dubbed on the side.,Or play subtitles to explain the picture.。 At this time, movies are still very boring. The people watching are mainly young people. And people still gather more in singing and dancing places.

The habits of the Qin people are compared to before. A lot of significant changes have taken place. This change has made the Qin State Xianyang the most civilized gathering place in the Warring States Period. Another gathering place is also rapidly forming. This gathering place. It is South Korea's Xinzheng. Xinzheng takes advantage of the advantageous geographical location near the Qin State, especially the developed transportation. Rapid development.

Xinzheng not only has a power unit steam engine. There is also the power equipment and its systems that have just been laid. The plant uses a steam engine and an electric motor as the power drive. However, the industrial products processed in South Korea are still light industrial products. These light industrial products were sold in large quantities to Qi and Chu, or were ordered and manufactured by Qin trading companies in large quantities. And there's another huge source of orders. This is the state of Chu.

Chu merchants followed the northern passage opened by the Qin people to Xinzheng, Luoyang, and Xianyang. They arrived in horse-drawn carriages or in motor vehicles loaded with goods. Then transfer to a train from Wan to Xinzheng, Luoyang, Xianyang. Subsequently. Large-scale ordering, wholesale and other business activities are carried out there.

With the increasing frequency of business activities. In particular, the issue of imports and exports between countries. The most important thing is the favorable waterway system of the Yangtze River in the south. The carrying capacity of the ships of the Qin State was larger than that of the merchant ships of the Chu State. At the same time, the shipbuilding industry of Chu also began to develop rapidly. Throughout the month of October. The number of ships launched in the Chu State was more than double that of the past. More and more ships are being launched. Overwhelmed the port and terminal facilities of the Chu State. The wharves of the Chu State are all built in natural areas. Some of these areas are still shallow waters, which have a greater impact on flat-bottomed boats. These shallow waters were capable of causing serious grounding of Qin ships. The merchant ships of the Qin State could not dock at these ports at all.

The ships of the Qin State could only anchor in the center of the Yangtze River or near the shore. The unloading of the cargo is then completed with the help of the transportation of small boats. But such an approach was too detrimental to Qin's commercial activities.

These boats take advantage of the local snake breath of Hongo, and the price is very high. Such an asking price suddenly pushed up the logistics finished products of Qin's goods. If there were no Chu merchants in the local area, the Qin merchants could pass on this logistics cost. But the reality is that as long as there is a place where the ships of the Qin State can dock. Generally, there are merchants of the Chu State. Although the merchants of the Chu State had fewer goods. But it can impact the goods of the merchants of the Qin State. In this way, the merchants of the Qin State did not earn much profit value in their commercial activities.

Opposite. Because of the port and logistical supply problems. The Qin armed merchant ships were all powered by steam engines. This requires a large amount of coal to provide. But the state of Chu did not provide coal at all. If wood is used, it will aggravate the damage to the boiler equipment. Soot, in particular, can clog clogs chimneys and reduce the life of equipment. Therefore, the merchant ships of the Qin State must need to be supplied with coal.

In desperation, the Qin State could only arrange a few specialized armed merchant ships loaded with coal to supply the entire armed merchant fleet for a round-trip commercial activity. And that's not all. The officials of the state of Chu deliberately made things difficult for the ships of the Qin state. Especially when it comes to taxes. The state of Chu levied more than sixty percent of the tax on the ships of the Qin state. This is very unreasonable.

The war between Qin and Chu had just ended, and the two sides had reluctantly ceased fire. In terms of business activities. In particular, political exchanges involving business activities have not taken place.

Taxation, as well as port logistics and other issues, the Qin government has carried out in a timely manner. In fact, this is not to blame the Qin government, that is, Shang Wen's approach. Shang Wen's cabinet transportation department had been actively seeking support from the Chu state as early as the beginning of business activities.

In particular, the state of Qin also sent special personnel. But these people are still doing something else. That was to lay the telegraph line between Xianyang in the Qin State and Shouyang in the Chu State.

At the same time, the state of Qin also sent special diplomats to coordinate special commercial activities. This coordination is the usual trick of the Qin State. The Qin State Concession was established in the State of Chu.

The establishment of a concession area by the Qin State is indeed of great benefit. For example, in Korea, Zhao and Yan set up concessions. Although the Qin State obtained it with certain materials, money, or other diplomatic means.

The Yan State took the approach of giving a certain amount of military material assistance, while the Zhao State provided diplomatic and military assistance with commercial contracts. South Korea, on the other hand, is stipulated in the treaty. At the same time, the other concessions added by the Qin State began to set up concessions with certain technology exports.

After the establishment of the concession. The state of Qin is equivalent to having its own administrative area in the local area. The ownership is still these countries, but the management is the Qin state. The Qin people set up a large number of office and trading companies here, and actively carried out commercial activities. And the taxes here are the same as those of the Qin State. There is also a parliament to provide democratic management. This is equivalent to the Qin State having its own commercial base. The logistics system for commercial activities is based on this concession.

And the state of Chu and the state of Qin did not have a single such commercial base. Opposite. The Qin State was precisely the one that lacked this kind of commercial logistics system the most. Therefore, the most important mission of the diplomats sent by the Qin State was to establish their own concessions. These concessions were mainly established along the Yangtze River. Especially some deep-water harbors. There, then, the Qin State built some specialized dock facilities.

Cement dock port of call. Large-scale lifting equipment. as well as specialized storage equipment and so on. In addition, there was a certain area that was provided for Qin merchants to use for office work in order to carry out their business.

Qin's plan was good. But the problem is that the people of Chu do not yet know whether to accept it or not. Now I don't even know what the attitude of the people of Chu is. This made Qin Guo feel a little uneasy. Therefore, in the plan, Qin proposed a more tempting plan. That is the five treaty ports in the Qin State Concession. In terms of taxation, the Qin State managed it itself. However, the Qin side provided the Chu State with an annual commercial rent of about 100,000 gold.

The 100,000 gold includes 10,000 gold of real money. The rest was settled in the half-tael currency of the Qin State. or other physical objects for conversion. This is already quite good for the state of Chu. The places chosen by the Qin State were all blank and undeveloped areas.
