Bai Shan said, "Because Luojiang County doesn't have a vehicle rental business."
Zhou Silang fell silent.
Yizhou City does have vehicle rental businesses—what is it exactly? Well, it offers services like hiring or renting vehicles.
Luojiang County is very small; generally, people hitch rides by waving down carts on the main roads or at the city gates, negotiating a fare if they're headed in the same direction, and then climbing aboard for a ride.
Of course, that's also referred to as a vehicle rental business.
Previously, Zhou Silang had thought that such arrangements constituted a vehicle rental business, and there were even brokers specifically for that purpose.
But it wasn't until he got to Yizhou City that he realized this wasn't the case at all.
A true vehicle rental business occupies an entire street, with a line of different vehicles—ox carts, mule carts, donkey carts, horse carts—available for hire or rent, whatever you need.
