The two entered the city and were immediately shocked by the sight in front of them.
Factories were built along the water, with countless towering chimneys spewing black smoke, like giant beasts, roaring at the sky.
However, when the black smoke comes into contact with a formation, it is directly purified by the formation and cannot be dispersed.
Jingxi said to Jingming:
"I want to go there and see it.".
Jing Ming nodded, agreeing with Jing Xi's decision.
The two began to walk towards the factory area.
But before the two of them could get close, a group of soldiers came over.
The leader said to the two of them:
"Excuse me, you two, are you two new businessmen?".
The two looked at each other and nodded.
The man asked again:
"Have you applied for a license?"
Jing Ming asked:
"What is a license?".
The man replied:
"It's a businessman's license. Only with a license can you buy and sell goods in Moguling, and can you visit the factory."
Jing Ming nodded and asked:
"Great system, where can I apply for it?"
The man turned his head, and a soldier trotted forward and said to the two of them:
"Boy, please come with me.".
Jing Ming and Jing Xi looked at each other, smiled, and followed the soldier.
The three of them walked for a while, and Jingxi suddenly asked:
"Little brother, how much money can you make in a month as a soldier here?".
The soldier replied:
"I'm not a soldier, I'm an armed guard.".
"Armed guards?" Jingxi chewed the word repeatedly and asked:
“What does armed guard mean?”.
"This..." The soldier was stumped and said to Jing Xi:
"I don't know. Anyway, we are different from soldiers.".
Jing Ming and Jing Xi looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Jing Ming secretly said to Jing Xi:
"The lord here is so bold. He actually dares to do something like this. What about armed guards? It seems to me that he has reached the upper limit of the number of soldiers, so he has such a thing as armed guards."
Jing Xi said to Jing Ming:
"Don't talk too much, let's see how the situation is here first.".
The two followed the soldiers for a while and came to a building.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
"This is the Department of Commerce, and the opposite door is the Department of Industry and Commerce. If you are buying goods, you only need to go to the Department of Commerce to apply for a license first. If you are selling goods, after applying for the license, you need to go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to fill in the value of the goods. Form and receive the inspection certificate."
Jing Ming asked:
"What is the use of this value list?".
The soldier said:
"Our commander-in-chief said that in order to prevent someone from selling fake goods, we first have someone write down the usefulness and quality of the goods, and then the Industrial and Commercial Bureau will check it."
Jing Ming and Jing Xi looked at each other in confusion.
Jing Ming took out a few gold coins from his pocket. Before he stretched out his hand, he found that the soldier leading the way had already retreated to the other side of the road.
Jing Ming asked in shock:
"Brother, what are you doing?"
The soldier said:
"Don't hurt me. We have seven things to do. If I accept your money, I will be sent to a military court."
Jingxi couldn't help but ask:
"What do you mean? Can you explain in detail?".
The soldier could only explain what the Seven Prohibitions were and what a military court was. The brother and sister listened with great concentration.
Jing Ming stood up and said to Jing Xi:
"I'd like to get to know the lord here. He's such an interesting person."
Jingxi said:
"Let's apply for the license first. After applying for the license, we can go and get the inspection certificate."
Jing Ming nodded. He was confident in his goods and was not worried about being investigated.
Soon, Jing Ming received a form and asked:
“How much will it cost me?”.
The staff member sighed, pointed to a piece of paper on the glass and said:
"Handsome guy, could you please take a closer look?".
Jing Ming smiled and said sorry, quickly filled out the form and returned it to the staff.
The staff member scanned the name on the form at a glance, and then shouted in surprise:
"Are you Blue Ocean Trading Company?!".
Jing Ming smiled and nodded.
Unexpectedly, the staff member immediately took Jing Ming to the second floor and said to Jing Ming:
"You fill out the form here.".
Although Jing Ming was confused, he had no choice but to do it.
After a while, the brother and sister got the inspection certificate again, and the staff had the same reaction. The only difference is that this time Jingxi went.
The soldier took the brother and sister all the way to apply for passports, but refused to accept the gold coins. Jing Ming initially thought that the soldier didn't think the money was small, but then he increased the amount again and again, and finally increased it to two hundred gold coins, but he still refused to accept it.
"I just want to know now whether this is an individual phenomenon or a common phenomenon."
Jing Xi said to Jing Ming seriously:
"I'm afraid it's a common phenomenon.".
Jing Ming nodded and said to Jing Xi:
"If that's the case, it would be too humiliating for this man to just be a baron.".
Jing Ming looked at the silver card in his hand and smiled:
"This lord is really smart. With this card, I will have to pay taxes of more than 100,000 gold coins to him every year...".
Jingxi smiled and said:
"But don't forget, how many gold coins are we going to get from him...".
Jing Ming smiled and said:
"That's what I say, but I always feel like something is wrong.".
Jingxi smiled and said:
"Father has noticed something is wrong a long time ago. The entire Baihua Province's business has begun to move here. Although I can't see anything now, what about one year later? What about two years later? And the senior officials in Baihua Province didn't even react at all. , so stupid.”.
Jing Ming smiled and said:
"I have met the governor of Baihua Province. That guy is not a good person. He is lustful and greedy, but he is not stupid. He pretends not to see it. It can only be said that someone is taking care of him."
When Jing Xi heard this, he sighed and said to Jing Ming:
"Can't everyone rely on their own abilities? Why do we have to rely on private activities..."
Jing Ming sighed and said to Jing Xi:
"Because it is unfair to large commercial banks to rely on their own abilities. I am stronger than you and my capital is stronger than yours. Why should I compete fairly with you?"
Jingxi actually understood the answer to this question, she was just a little unconvinced.
She looked at Jing Ming and asked:
"Tell me, what will we see next?".
Jing Ming smiled and said:
"Maybe you'll see a loom."
Jingxi sighed, she was a little worried:
"It would be nice if I could buy a few looms and go back.".
Jing Ming smiled and said:
"How can I sell it? This is my lifeblood..."
Jing Xi sighed and said to Jing Ming:
"I only believe in one thing. If there is something that the other party refuses to sell, it must be because we don't offer enough."
Jing Ming smiled bitterly and said:
"Aren't you contradicting yourself?".
Jingxi made a face at Jingming.
Soon, the three returned to the industrial area.
After the soldier saluted the two of them, he went to look for his team, while Jing Ming took his silver card and entered the industrial zone under the guidance of a dedicated person.
