In one sentence, that is: self-produced and self-sold.

The situation above the Qin State Bazaar is probably like this: all the local products are sold. The consumers are all locals.

It is rare to see foreign goods in a rare large warehouse, and even if you see it, most of them are from the Chu State. There are also blankets and horse skins of the nomads in the northwest.

When I arrived in the capital of the Qin State, I saw high-end shops such as jewelry and jewelry produced by foreign countries.

What made Bai Gui and the others unbelievable was that none of these shops could be entered by ordinary people, and they were all opened and released only by appointment. If you are a foreigner, no one introduces, recommends, or referrals, and will never let you in.

As in the high-end health center and other places in modern society, you have to pay a high price for a membership card without anyone to introduce you.

It is a jewelry store sign, but it is usually closed. Just like the shops in the northern winter, they are all closed.

If you've been living in the South for the first time, you won't even be able to enter the store.

The door of the northern store, there is a thick quilt or something on the outside, you boldly open the curtain to enter, but there is a closed door inside. You can only enter if you push open the door.

It doesn't feel like it's about consumption, it's about it! Entered the bandits' den.

So! When southerners go to the north for the first time, they think it's closed. Outcome! It's like this all over the street.

The weather in the north is cold, and there is a stove in the house for heating, and the door cannot be kept warm without hanging a curtain or closing the door, so the door must be closed outside the curtain. Only when it is not too cold, just hang the curtain and leave the door closed. When the weather was warm, the curtain was removed and the door was opened.

And people who live in the south are open all year round. If you close your doors, people think you're out of business.

The jewelry shops of the Qin State were like this, although they were open on the streets, they were only open to the nobility.

After communicating with the store, he said that he really wanted to buy jewelry, and he would give money if he didn't buy it. With a pitiful look of begging for others, he handed over a piece of Qin State knife coins to get in.

After the inquiring guard entered, he looked at the jewelry inside, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

Except for jade, most of the other jewelry was produced by the processing factories under the Bai Guanren. Most of these jewels were distributed through the caravans of the white officials.

Quite possibly! It was imported from the state of Chu.

The trade routes of Wei and South Korea have long been cut off. Under the suppression of the Wei State, it is equivalent to the sanctions imposed by the Mi State on all countries in the world in today's society, and the Qin State is subject to a commercial blockade and does not allow you to trade.

The Qin State had no choice but to import from the Chu State.

Although the streets of the capital city of Qin are very neatly planned and spacious, but! Cheerless.

Bai Gui and his entourage had just arrived in the capital, and they were targeted by the capital's urban management.

The current Qin State is a country ruled by law, and everything is about the law. But! Bai Gui has a legal identity document. Although they are not real names, they are all pseudonyms, but they were all issued by Shang Ying himself.

In order to facilitate the old man's coming to Qin, Shang Ying specially prepared dozens of customs clearance documents for him. In the name of the caravan: a dozen or dozens of people can be attached below.

In fact! It is in the name of the delegation that it passes through the Qin State. Only this kind of customs clearance document can be accompanied by a dozen or dozens of people. Others! No identification is required. All responsibilities rested with the head of delegation.

According to the laws of the Qin State, after the delegation came to the Qin State, they first registered at the first checkpoint, writing where you came from, where you passed through and where you arrived. And then! The checkpoint registration office will issue you an internal pass for the Qin State according to your registration.

If you don't follow the registered route, you will be detained by other checkpoints, and you will be treated as a spy or spy, and you will be severely punished by the laws of the Qin State.

If you want to change your route, you'll have to go to the checkpoint and re-register to get a new pass. But! It's troublesome. You must state the reason, otherwise it will not be changed.

The territory of Qin State is not so casual! Especially for foreigners, you have to comply more. Otherwise! It's possible to kill you.

If I don't kill you? and send you to slavery wherever you go. Enslavement! That is, labor reform, working for the nobles' families. Wait until the allotted time is up before letting you out.

If you go to a place where you are doing errands or visiting relatives or friends and you go the wrong way. So! As long as someone comes to protect you and pays a certain fine, they will let you out.

Forced by the laws of the Qin State to be too strict, Bai Gui and the others went to register as soon as they entered the capital. Find an inn to stay in first, explain the situation to the innkeeper, the innkeeper will first register in the store, and then issue a certificate for you to go to the nearest embassy to apply for a visa and make changes.

At the same time! In terms of inns, they should also report the identity information of guests to their competent authorities in a timely manner in accordance with regulations. Otherwise! These guests who have not changed their reservations have committed crimes in the Qin State, and you will be responsible for "knowing and not reporting the crime".

Bai Gui originally wanted to conduct a field trip in the Qin State, just like Linyi back then, to see if there were any investment opportunities. Outcome! Everywhere is blocked, and it is impossible to carry out at all.

He wanted the guards to go out to see the consumption of the people of Qin on the street, which goods sold well? Outcome! Because the guards did not have independent identity documents, it was difficult for them to move an inch.

When you first came, the chengguan didn't pay attention to you. Right now! When the chengguan pays attention to you, they will keep an eye on you every day to prevent you from having trouble in his jurisdiction. So! As soon as you go out, someone will follow you.

It's okay if you don't talk to people when you go shopping, and as soon as you talk to people, they immediately come over and check your ID.

"No! You can't travel alone with this kind of ID card, you are a caravan, so! You have to be led by the captain before you can go out. ”

For two days in a row, the guards sent out were all detained, and they were not released without him, the head of the delegation, personally coming forward on bail.

"Next time! There is no way! We can only expel you from the country according to the laws of the Qin State!" ”

The law enforcement officer didn't show any emotion and warned Baekyu.

Bai Gui had no choice but to send someone to find Shang Ying.

As long as you don't talk to people, the chengguan won't check you. So! Guards can still walk on the streets.

Shang Ying learned that his father-in-law had come to the capital of Qin, put down all the work at hand, and couldn't wait to follow the guards to greet him.

"Go to the Qin Palace? Then be free! I just want to come to Qin to see if there is a chance for development. Outcome! I think! You Qin State, foreign businessmen may not be able to stay. The laws of your Qin State are too harsh to mix! ”

Baekyu told the truth.

Shang Ying shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The law is dead, it is a hard rule, and it cannot be changed. But people are alive and can be flexible!

But! Some people oppose the change of the law, deliberately allowing people to find fault in the law, or! Dogmatically understood. Outcome! And so it became.

Alas! I can't help it! Qin Gong also had no choice. As long as they don't mess around and don't do anything big in accordance with the law, they will all turn a blind eye and let it go! ”
