"That was pretty fast," Chaoyang remarked as he accepted the sheepskin scroll and glanced over it, noticing that the business licenses in this world were rather primitive. They merely stipulated the permitted scope of business activities and the taxes that needed to be paid, without any further requirements.

However, should problems arise, the lord could still punish the business, such as... in cases where medicine caused patient harm or death, a certain amount of gold coins had to be compensated. If nobility were harmed... the highest sentence could be hanging.
Er... isn't this just blatant double standards?
