Chapter Five Hundred and Sixtieth Unification(2/2)
In addition, those various checkpoints, tax cards, and local forces collude together to blindly xenophobia, restrict foreign goods, and even bully outsiders... are absolutely not allowed.
A smooth national market must be established to ensure the smooth flow of goods.
The unification of books, documents, and carriages on the same track is only a rudimentary unification at the level of tools and utensils.
Unification of civilizations and unity of mind is a further step towards unification.
Smooth exchanges between merchants and personnel, as well as close exchanges and cooperation with each other, are the material guarantees of unity.
All in all, if today's Ming Dynasty needs to surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties, it needs to make a fuss about unification.

True unification requires both a vast territory and fair and reasonable treatment of everyone within the territory.
Only in this way can we achieve true unification!
