Hua'an decided to build Luoyang City into a city that never sleeps, and after the order was officially issued, the confidants and officials began to make various preparations.

In the afternoon of the same day, the guards of the four city gates were all expanded to 1,000 men, and the officials in charge of this work immediately issued a new garrison order to the captain who was responsible for guarding the city gates. Barricades and bonfires and other facilities were also quickly prepared, and after they were ready, notices were posted on the inner and outer walls of the four city gates to inform all the people and merchants who passed through the city gates that from today on, the gates of Luoyang City would not be closed at any time, and all the people could enter and leave Luoyang City anytime and anywhere, and of course, the inventory of the city gates would become stricter than before, so that it would be difficult for lawbreakers to move an inch.

In the evening, the patrol personnel in the city and the people responsible for the night lighting have all been adjusted in place, Hua'an believes that the increase in this series of people, can fully ensure the security and stability of Luoyang City, after these people are ready, the streets and alleys of Luoyang City, are all plastered with notices of lifting the curfew, in order to tell the people in the city, they can leave their homes at will at night, especially the bustling streets, and they can operate all night.

Of course, Hua An knows very well that even if the curfew has been lifted, most of the people will not leave their homes after sunset, after all, they are used to living a life of sunrise and daily rest. If you don't have a good night's rest, it will be difficult to have the energy to work the next day, and the reason why the curfew is lifted is to facilitate the lives of the common people and promote the commercial development of Luoyang City, although the vast majority of ordinary people will not be active at night. But there will always be some people who need to be active at night, especially when the climate is cool at night, and vegetable farmers can choose to enter the city in the second half of the night, so that after arriving at the street where they sell vegetables, maybe the sky is just dawning, and if the people who buy vegetables can buy vegetables before the early morning, they can naturally buy the freshest vegetables, so on. When the sun rises, the vegetable farmers can return.

Restaurants, teahouses, and green houses are all located in prosperous areas, and there is a great need for nighttime activities, and the lifting of the curfew is most beneficial for them, and the prosperity of a city depends on these large commercial centers. Therefore, the lifting of the curfew will definitely greatly promote the commercial development of Luoyang City. Moreover, the whole city is lit up at night, which can also greatly enhance the taste and charm of a city.

You can imagine that a few close friends gather in a restaurant at night, chatting and eating delicious food at the same time. You can also enjoy the moon and stars in the sky. The teahouse can be prepared for those elegant people, not to mention the Qinglou, a large number of talented people who come to Luoyang City will inevitably go to the Qinglou to have a look. Of course, not everyone goes to the girl, and many of them are purely for socializing and meeting more powerful people.

In order to prevent chaos in Luoyang City, Hua An and several henchmen under his command have been discussing and discussing many details in the main hall, and they did not disperse one after another until the sun set.

"Your Majesty, everything in the city has been prepared, and from tonight, the curfew in Luoyang City has been officially lifted." Wang San walked up to Hua An and reported softly.

Hua An nodded hurriedly and said softly: "Okay, very good!" This king wants to experience it for himself and see what it will be like after the curfew is lifted in Luoyang City. ”

"Yes, the last general is willing to accompany the king to the city to experience it." Wang San clenched his fists and said.

Hua An nodded in agreement, strode out of the main hall, and stood on the high platform of the main hall, looking around.

At this time, the sky is completely dark, but Luoyang City is very bright, there is no feeling of night, the streets and alleys in the city are all lit with bonfires, especially near the bustling streets, it is brightly lit, which makes people feel quite comfortable after seeing it.

"Your Majesty, after the curfew is lifted, the night in Luoyang City is much more beautiful!" Wang San looked at the beautiful scenery around him and said with emotion.

Hua An smiled: "This is natural, this king has said a long time ago, lifting the curfew is a good thing for Luoyang City, although there may be many problems, but as long as you are well prepared, these problems can be solved very well, let's go to the street to see." As he spoke, he strode out of the palace hall and walked in the direction of the palace gate.

Wang San led a few of his own soldiers, followed behind Hua An, left the North Palace together, and walked quickly in the direction of the street.

After leaving the North Palace, there is a bonfire every fifty steps, next to the bonfire is a large vat, the vaat is filled with clean water that can extinguish the fire, and next to the cylinder is stacked some dry firewood, so that the burning bonfire can be added to the firewood at any time, the structure of the bonfire is also very simple, that is, three thick wooden sticks are tied together, a large clay pot is placed on the top, and the burning firewood is placed in this large clay pot, the bonfire of this structure is the most cost-saving, and the repair and maintenance is very simpleAs long as you have hands and feet, you can easily operate.

Hua An looked at these bonfires, and suddenly thought that if it rained, wouldn't these bonfires be extinguished by heavy rain, so he was deeply worried.

"Does the king think there's anything wrong with these campfires?" Wang San asked softly.

Hua An thought for a moment and said softly: "There is nothing wrong with these bonfires, but if it rains, won't these bonfires have to be extinguished?" Have you ever thought about this question? ”

"What the king said is that if it rains, it is true that the bonfire cannot be lit, but if you put up an umbrella, this problem can be solved." Wang San Zhengse said.

Hearing this, Hua An nodded and said: "You're right, as long as you set up an umbrella, it's winter now, and there will be no rain, so." There is no need to rush the preparation of the umbrella, you can take your time, but what should you do if you encounter foggy weather? After speaking, he looked at Wang San.

Wang San shook his head and said softly, "Your Majesty." We probably don't need to think about it so much, if it's foggy, let alone a few bonfires, even in broad daylight, we can't see anything clearly! After speaking, he looked at Hua'an.

Hua An smiled and said softly, "Yes! This king is thinking too much, foggy weather, you can't meet it a few times a year! He shook his head and continued down the street.

In addition to the campfires at fifty paces along the way, there were patrols of five people and scattered personnel responsible for guarding the campfires. As for the pedestrians, it can be said that there are few pitiful, after all, they are used to the policy of curfew, and now, the policy has just been promulgated, and many people in Luoyang City have not heard of this matter, and some people who have heard about it are also skeptical of this policy. And still do not dare to be active at night, only those who are the most courageous and those who really need to be active at night. Only appeared on the main road of Luoyang City, at this time, the main road of Luoyang City was still deserted, it can be described as lifeless, of course, in the position close to the bustling streets. The number of pedestrians began to increase, and the bustling atmosphere began to unfold.

Hua'an looked around, the street in front of him was completely brightly lit, more than half of the businesses have not closed, and all kinds of people who are active here. None of them have the intention of leaving, after all, now that the curfew has been lifted in Luoyang City, there is no need for them to leave in a hurry, and these people who are active on the streets are all people with a certain social status, they have a high status, and they have a clear understanding of the policy, so they naturally will not worry about any problems.

"Your Majesty, after the curfew is lifted, it will be of great benefit to these shops on the streets, and the money they earn will definitely be doubled, so should we increase taxes on them! In this way, it will make up for the cost of increasing our patrol personnel! Wang San looked at the lively street and said.

Obviously, Wang San felt that in order to build Luoyang City into a city that never sleeps, the cost of investment was very large, and after the increase of patrol personnel, city gate guards, and lighting maintenance personnel, the continuous consumption of finances was also very large, and the continuous burning of bonfires was also not small to the consumption of firewood, so after the curfew was lifted, the total financial burden became a lot heavier, and these merchants could make greater profits because of this, so it was very reasonable to levy additional taxes on these merchants.

Hua'an heard this, and also felt that additional taxes should be levied, however, at this time, the curfew policy has just been lifted, although the merchants on the street can seek greater benefits, but the benefits are still very limited, at this time to levy additional taxes, I am afraid that it will not be too much, and if the nightlife of Luoyang City is completely prosperous, and then levy additional taxes, you can collect more, and businessmen are also very willing to pay additional taxes after getting greater benefits, so as to make up for the lifting of the curfew. pressure on Luoyang City's fiscal expenditure.

"The matter of additional taxes should be considered after the next year! The top priority now is to make the business of Luoyang City more prosperous, so that the merchants can seek more profits. Huaan Zhengse said.

Wang San nodded when he heard this, and expressed his approval of Hua'an's approach.

After walking around the streets, Hua'an's overall feeling is still very satisfied, although the pedestrians on the street are not as many as imagined, but he believes that in a few days, after the people of Luoyang City have all understood the new policy, more people will definitely join in the nightlife, so that the streets of Luoyang City will become more prosperous and lively at night.

"The guests of the restaurant at night, after drinking too much, will inevitably make trouble, in the vicinity of the restaurant, we must send more manpower, we must maintain the safety and stability of the street, and safeguard the interests of merchants and people." Hua An pointed to a restaurant and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the last general will do everything he can to arrange." Wang San responded with a fist.

Hua An nodded, and then pointed to several locations on the street, and said: "These locations are extremely important positions, and people must be arranged to be stationed on the spot, and every small street here must be arranged with a group of patrol personnel to ensure the absolute safety of the most prosperous streets here." ”

"Rest assured, Your Majesty! The end will do a good job of this qiē. Wang San replied.

Hua An nodded in satisfaction and continued walking down the street.

After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the street, Hua An led the group to run in the direction of the north gate, and arrived at the north gate in the shortest possible time.

Of course, on the one hand, because the curfew has just been lifted, on the other hand, because after dark, the roads outside the city are not safe, and most of the thieves and beasts occur at night, so the people who enter and exit the city gate will naturally not be many, and these people naturally have more important things, otherwise, they will not walk at night.

"The last will see the king." A brigade commander recognized Hua'an and hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects.

"Get up! The king just came to see. Hua An said softly, and motioned for the brigade commander to get up.

Hearing the order, the brigade commander stood up and introduced to Hua'an the characteristics of the deployment at the city gate after the transformation, and asked Hua'an to give instructions.

Hua'an nodded with satisfaction, and inspected at the city gate, seeing that the soldiers were in good spirits, Hua'an felt very satisfied, after walking out of the city gate, Hua'an saw that the soldiers guarding the city gate extended to the position of two miles outside the city, within the scope of these two miles, a total of two rows of bonfires, each row of twenty, a total of forty bonfires, and these forty bonfires, the road leading to the city outside two miles illuminated, looks quite spectacular.

The hundred soldiers who were responsible for guarding the road were distributed next to the campfire, and they were distributed in groups of ten people, so as to form ten strong lines of defense in front of the city gate to ensure the safety of the city gate in all aspects, on the inner side of the campfire was the road leading to the city, and on the outside of the campfire pair, there were man-high horses, which were connected together to seal off both sides of the road, so as to ensure that the flow of people entering and leaving the city could be checked by the ten lines of defense, so that it would be difficult for the outlaws to escape.
