Xiao Mo asked about the dagger, and he also had a momentary heart, and he couldn't say that when the time came, he would go to the north and have a dagger specially made for himself that would be of some use. It's not that Xiao Mo really has the heart to embarrass Uncle Tao in front of him.

Xiao Mo's ox cart swayed to the restaurant, and the sun had already set. The whole family was waiting for Xiao Mo to eat.

Early the next morning, the people of Lodu were awakened by the sound of horses' hooves. It's just that this time it was neither Hongling's urgent envoy nor the garrison entering the city. It was a guard sent by the Luoyang government.

The main job of these guards this morning was to put up notices. A group of people scattered in different directions, and a brand new notice was posted on all the large and small notices in Luodu.

The content of this notice really caused an uproar among the people of Lodo.

"There is no curfew in Luodu tomorrow night, and the garrison will assist in the defense of the city."

As soon as this notice came out, all the people who saw the notice were obviously stunned, and then their faces were full of disbelief, but everyone saw that the sign of this notice really said Luoyang Lingyin, and there was also a bright red seal of the government. These proofs are there, and people have to believe them even if they don't believe it.

But everyone is really curious about this, what the hell is going on? Why did you suddenly cancel the curfew tomorrow night when there was no warning at all?

Tomorrow is the 10th day of the fifth month, which is not a special day, and I have not heard of any major festivals, and even the curfew has never been lifted even if the drums and flowers have just passed. Thinking of this, the people of Luodu couldn't help but wonder, could it be that they remembered the wrong day?

Traditionally, there is no curfew, and it is one of the most special holidays of the year. Such as the Qixi Cultural Festival, the Chinese New Year's Eve and the Lantern Festival. On such a grand day, there is naturally no curfew at night in Dasui. These days, people take to the streets together to celebrate the day.

Of course, there may be some special circumstances, such as the emperor's birthday and a victory worthy of national celebration, and the curfew may be lifted.

However, before that, there was no news in the Great Sui that the war against the Northern Turks had been completely won, and His Majesty's birthday was still more than a month away, and His Majesty's fiftieth birthday was still seven years away.

In that case, there is absolutely no reason for the curfew to be suddenly lifted tomorrow.

The people of Lodo don't know why. However, the Lodu magnates are very clear in their hearts. This cancellation of the overnight curfew was originally a matter promised by the imperial court to Xiao Mo, as long as Xiao Mo could do the thing of praying for rain, he could naturally obtain this right, in other words, this was a transaction or the sweetness of the imperial court to his little brother.

The magnates are also quite jealous of this, and their own business houses are busy doing business, and sometimes they don't see any good results.

People are good, the opening of the restaurant is directly the complete cancellation of the curfew in Luodu. In the words of later generations, it is directly the imperial court advertising privileges, and this gap cannot be compared at all. But the powerful have no choice, who makes the family have the ability to obtain such rights.

And Xiao Mo was also standing in the attic of the restaurant at this time. Looking at the beautiful scenery in the distance, a smile was revealed. After being in the works for so long, it's finally time to open.

On this day on the 10th day of the fifth month. It is destined to be a day when Luo is not calm.

Early in the morning, many garrisons outside the city were mobilized and began to enter the city. A number of temporary garrisons were set up at the gates of the city and at the intersections of the streets and alleys of Luodu, among which three or four soldiers would be stationed. In case there is chaos in law and order when the curfew is lifted.

In the Luodu Mansion, all the martial marquis also started patrolling the city early this morning with enough manpower, and the security around Xiao Mo Restaurant has become the focus of the focus.

All this work is actually to ensure that the lifting of the overnight curfew in Luodu will not cause any trouble, after all, the current Great Sui is not peaceful.

The people of Luodu are also very aware that this kind of large-scale military patrols and garrison assistance will only appear on very grand festivals. For example, a few days ago, the drum was beaten to pick flowers, or two months later, the Tanabata Festival. And such a grand festival, there are only a few times in a year, and it will definitely not appear on the tenth day of the fifth month, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that something big must be happening.

Although Luoyang Ling Yin was the chief executive of Luodu, and his weight was equivalent to that of the mayor of the municipality directly under the central government in later generations, Luoyang Ling Yin himself did not have the right to transfer the garrison without authorization, let alone change the curfew rules at will.

Since such a situation has occurred on this day, it must have been approved by the imperial court to explain that Luodu lifted the curfew tonight.

Xiao Mo was also a little surprised by such a big battle, in Xiao Mo's initial preparation plan, the opening of the restaurant, as long as a small range of curfews were lifted, Xiao Mo himself really didn't expect that the imperial court really gave him the right to lift the curfew overnight in Luodu.

Xiao Mo has always been very dissatisfied with praying for rain and military expenses, Xiao Mo has always felt that this matter is that Old Man Han and the imperial court have joined forces to pit him.

And now, not to mention the matter of military spending, the complete lifting of the curfew in Luodu today made Xiao Mo realize that he did not suffer a loss in this matter, and even got a lot of sweetness.

And before that, Emperor Wen Yang Jian also issued an edict and personally knighted Xiao Mo as a Wenxin man, and this knighthood made Xiao Mo's original embarrassing identity issue no longer important. Although Xiao Mo's promotion path is still difficult, no matter what, Xiao Mo has already entered the elite circle, and many things are already more convenient to do.

Xiao Mo used to think that eating and waiting for death was the best way to live, but slowly Xiao Mo also discovered that if he wanted to eat and wait for death, he had to have enough status.

At this time, Xiao Mo was inspecting the opening preparations of the entire restaurant.

On the stage in the middle of the restaurant, a three-zhang high log pillar has been erected, and in this era, the height of this log has been much higher than that of ordinary houses. After all, in this era, it is extremely rare for a building with more than three floors to be built.

This log pillar was naturally specially prepared by Xiao Mo for Zhiqing's Flying Immortal Dance, which is also one of the important gimmicks for the opening of Xiao Mo Restaurant.

And if someone goes to the backyard of Xiao Mo Restaurant at this time, they will find that there are rows of cylindrical long cylindrical objects in the open space in the backyard, and the number is no less than hundreds.

These are all fireworks that Xiao Mo ordered to be made during this time, and the number of fireworks here is not comparable to that when the experimental fireworks were shown to Quan Zhi'an.

However, the purpose of these fireworks is purely to add appreciation, but there is no effect of praying for rain. (To be continued.) )
