At this time, it was already curfew, and at this time, if Shi Qingyi wanted to return to the Qin Palace, then she had to cross the high walls and streets between the various markets in Chang'an City, avoid all the patrolling troops in the city, and then climb over the tall walls of the inner city of Chang'an City, and finally, she could return to the Qin Palace. For Shi Qingyi, although these jobs are troublesome, they are by no means a difficult task, so as long as she wants to go back, she can do it easily. But then again, there is nothing important in King Qin's mansion, why is she in a hurry to go back, and stay in this prosperous commercial area with Wan Wan until dawn, isn't it good?

Speaking of which, until Shi Qingyi returned to Chang'an again, she had a misunderstanding of the Tang Dynasty's curfew policy, thinking that the curfew policy of the Tang Dynasty was still the same as the law of the Qin and Han dynasties in the previous dynasty, that is, if a pedestrian went out at night, according to the law, he would be killed. However, she later learned that in fact, the curfew of Datang at this time, compared with the Qin and Han dynasties, had already made great progress.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, the population of the Han Empire was not large, and the circulation of commerce was also restricted due to the use of Legalists or the words of Confucianism.

However, when the time reached this time in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the situation had become completely different, first of all, due to the development of the times, the number of people in the land of China had already increased greatly, and due to the war, the migration of the population was very large, so that. Not only did the people's minds get rid of the shackles of Confucianism and Legalism, but also the unprecedented prosperity of commercial behavior, and it was precisely because of the circulation of commerce that a lot of wealth and market prosperity were brought about. It was the temptation of practical interests that forced the rulers of the Sui and Tang dynasties to face up to the negative impact of curfews on commercial activities again. As a result, various restrictions have been imposed on curfews.

One of the most radical emperors on this issue was none other than Yang Guang, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, who for the first time lifted the curfew, ordering that the gates of the city's major cities such as Chang'an, Luoyang, and Jiangdu should be closed day and night, and that residents could move around as they pleased. To promote commercial circulation as much as possible! Under the influence of his decree, the commerce of the Sui Dynasty flourished in an all-round way, and the treasury and property of the state and the people were also rapidly enriched.

However, although the world was peaceful, forgetting the war would be dangerous, and the comprehensive opening up of the entire Sui Dynasty made the entire Sui Dynasty quickly rich and strong, but it also caused the defense of Chang'an and Luoyang and other important economic centers of the Sui Dynasty to be weak. Coupled with the fact that the world has been at peace for a long time, the army has let its guard down and has been corrupted by wealth. So much so that in the past great cause, when Yang Xuangan launched a rebellion, the foundation of the Sui Dynasty's rule almost collapsed because of this.

It is precisely because of such a lesson learned that when Datang was established, it also provided a variety of policy conveniences for commercial circulation. However, for the curfew, it was very strictly enforced, of course, with the Qin and Han dynasties. Compared with the two completely different methods during the period of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the curfew system of the Tang Dynasty was a relatively stable system that was finally introduced after learning from each other's strengths and taking into account many factors.

Taking Chang'an as an example, Tang Emperor Li Yuan divided the entire Chang'an City into 36 large and small markets, during the day, any exchange activities between the various markets can be carried out without any obstruction, and after the night curfew, the servants of each city closed the entrance and exit gates of the market, and completely closed the market, in the market, people's lives will not be disturbed at all, but in the streets outside the city, there is a city defense army patrolling on time, And if anyone dares to leave the city and appear on the streets under martial law during curfew hours, the patrolling army can completely kill them without any responsibility. The relaxed life of the residents in the fang market is in stark contrast to the strictness of martial law by the army outside the fang market.

At this time, the commercial area where Shi Qingyi is located is one of the markets controlled by the entire Chang'an City, so during the curfew at this time, tourists and merchants here can still live a luxurious life, but if they want to leave this area and go to other markets, it is absolutely impossible.

"Now, do you have any good places to go?" But it was Shi Qingyi who asked Wan Wan: "It's not like you're here, you don't even have a hiding place, right?" ”

"It's not nothing, but now, I don't want to use it!" Wan Wan said: "After all, you know, now I am still the object of the wanted by the uncles and elders of the same sect!" And this prosperous commercial area in front of me must have the ears and eyes of those teachers and elders, so for the sake of my safety, of course I will not expose my hiding place just to entertain you, if there is any case, it will be very unfavorable to me! After that, she looked at Shi Qingyi and said: "On the contrary, it's you, Her Royal Highness the dignified Princess Qin, who is now in the most prosperous area of Chang'an City, but you don't even have a safe place to rest, you say, are you too useless!" Wan Wan said sarcastically.

"Princess Qin, it's a shame that you still know that I am now Princess Qin!" Shi Qingyi looked at her speechlessly: "Then you should know that in this place, how many properties belong to the dignitaries and dignitaries in the court, if I really show my identity, and then take you to find a random property to stay, it will indeed be the best hospitality, and absolutely safe, but what will happen after that, I don't need to say, you naturally understand, don't you?" She looked at Wan Wan and said.

Yes, if Shi Qingyi really did what she said before, then they would be absolutely safe during this night, however, after this night, the news that Princess Qin and the demon girl of the Yin Sect had a close relationship was estimated to spread like the wind to the ears of all Li Shimin's hostile forces, and it would definitely be a catastrophe for Li Shimin, and if Shi Qingyi really wanted to do that, then she would be really crazy.

So, so in the end, it was Shi Qingyi who took Wan Wan to a place and ate the overlord meal. It is a restaurant opened by Hu Ren, because it is located in a prosperous area, so the specifications are also extremely high-end, but Shi Qingyi knows that a restaurant like this, behind it must have an extraordinary relationship with Manichaeism in the Western Regions, and Shi Qingyi has always had a good relationship with the Manichaean saint Lianrou, so Shi Qingyi walked in with Wanwan and asked to meet the boss, and then took out a gadget that Lianrou had given her. She immediately received great respect and respect from the owner of the restaurant: the best wine and food, the best room, and the silence that no one would come to disturb, and even the origin of Shi Qingyi and Wan Wan was never asked! In this way, now Wan Wan and Shi Qingyi have finally found a good place to rest and eat and drink with peace of mind. (To be continued......)
