There is a government overseeing the city, so many things that cannot see the light need certain special channels for sale, hence the formation of the black market.
Here, you can buy many things unseen in usual times, including many illegal items.
"Entrance fee, one large coin. No fighting inside, violators are at their own risk."
At the entrance, a man with a full beard eyed Zhong Lin coldly, with a basket next to him already piled high with copper coins.
Zhong Lin nodded, having heard about the rules here from Old Zhou before. He took out a copper coin from his pocket, tossed it in, and walked into the black market.
There were many people coming and going, each with their face covered with a black cloth or a mask. Of course, some daring ones didn't bring anything.
Zhong Lin strolled through this black market, the vendors inside did not hawk, simply setting up stalls quietly on the sidelines.
