Chapter 40: Chapter 37 What Happens on the Mountain

Zhao Rong and his companions slightly deviated from their planned route and after two days of travel, they arrived at the nearest mountain market called Baiyun Ferry.

From the map, Zhao Rong learned that the current dynasty, named Great Chen, honored Legalists and governed the state with the principle of "strict punishment and harsh law enforcement."

When Zhao Rong passed through several cities before, he noticed that people on the streets were very cautious with their words and rarely whispered to each other, afraid of being accused of a crime because of their speech. As for Confucian and "alternative" books, they were completely banned nationwide. He had heard about instances of national book burning campaigns before. The Legalists in this nation were indeed highly exclusionary.
