Chapter 310: Three or Four Hundred Years in Advance

"Lift the curfew?"

All I can say is......

The ministers were a little hesitant.

Because curfews must also have their benefits, so they have to insist on it.

Li Chengqian: "What do you think? ”

Someone said: "At this time, the world is peaceful, if the curfew is lifted, it is not impossible, but in this way, the manpower of Jin Wuwei patrolling the streets at night should be increased?" ”

Li Chengqian thought to himself, look!

Isn't this just an opportunity to increase employment?

Of course!

It seems that this cannot be said like that.

After all......

Whoever sends them this Jin Wuwei's Yulu will finally ask him, His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, to send it to them.

And the pressure on this treasury......

Really!

Then there was a human being: "If this manpower increases, then the expenditure will ......"

Li Chengqian couldn't help but hesitate a little now.

In fact, it shouldn't cost much to invite Jin Wuwei.

After all......

They can change their name and say they are temporary workers.

The salary of this temporary worker is certainly not the same as that of a regular worker.

The key is......

Is there any benefit to the imperial court in doing this?

Li Chengqian naturally did not know about this question.

In order to solve this problem, Li Chengqian then had to find Li Chong.

After listening to their discussions, Li Zhong said: "Since the lifting of the curfew requires more manpower to maintain law and order, then those merchants that are still open at night can be appropriately taxed. ”

"Wouldn't it be enough to use taxes to feed more people."

Even......

In this, the imperial court may still be able to make money, or even make a lot of money.

As soon as this opens, it will be half a day.

Since no one has ever done this kind of thing, no one knows what will happen next.

But it does!

Li Chong also knows that this lifting of the curfew can only be said to have advantages and disadvantages.

And......

If you look at it this way, it must be more harmful.

The lifting of the curfew is convenient for the people, and the people may be able to go to eat supper at night.

The problem, however, ......

The nobles and the family want to eat supper, so they can let the servants do it at home, do they still need to go to the night market?

Other words......

The biggest beneficiary of the lifting of the curfew will definitely be the people.

For those in power, this adds more governance costs.

When they were all hesitating, Li Chong also said:

"Actually, when the economy develops to a certain level, even if you want to continue to maintain this curfew, you can't continue to maintain it, and the people themselves will destroy the walls of the square and start business."

"This is the inevitable law of historical development, of course, at this moment, it may not have reached that point, if the curfew is lifted now, it is tantamount to advancing this development."

This is equivalent to directly from the beginning of the Tang Dynasty and soon transitioned to the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

I saw Li Chongdao: "The development of fresh affairs often carries a certain risk, but this kind of thing is going to come sooner or later, is it that the princes don't want to standardize this matter as soon as possible, and set a rule, so as not to wait for this trouble to really come, but I don't know what to do." ”

Someone said: "In the future, will the curfew really be lifted?" ”

Li Chong said: "It shouldn't be that the court itself can be revoked, but there are too many lawless people, and the court can't help it, so it can only be laissez-faire, as if it didn't see it." ”

At this time, another person said: "This encourages people to come out and do business, which is not a good thing after all." ”

Li Chong: "I think so too, but this is how the world develops, do you want to stop forever?" ”

"In the past, the reason why businessmen were suppressed was because once they all went to business, there was no one to farm."

"But now, with steam tractors, even if there is no one in the field to farm, they can be replaced by machines."

Li Zhong said so.

It seemed to make sense.

Anyway......

No matter what you do, the land will never be wasted.

Then they looked at each other.

This can only be said to be impossible.

Li Chengqian said: "What do you think? ”

Everyone said, "I think I can try it." ”

Now it's good!

Li Chong suddenly advanced Datang by at least three or four hundred years.

But be reasonable!

Doing so is not necessarily good.

After all......

Once economic development dominates, then the people's hearts may not be very good.

All I can say is......

Whatever!

Or how convenient how to come, after all, do you want to do the Qing Dynasty and suppress the development of Datang?

The twelfth year of Yuan Heng.

The first major event of the imperial court this year is to prepare for the lifting of the curfew in Luoyang.

Since they were all passed at the prime minister's meeting, it was time for the court meeting to read out the decree casually.

All the officials exploded at once.

There are all kinds of discussions.

It wasn't until they found the prime ministers who had gone to the meeting and asked them what was going on that they knew what was going on.

Plainly!

It is to make way for steam tractors.

What should I say about this?

For the people, it should be good, because from now on, the people do not need to continue to face the loess with their backs to the sky.

For them, it can't be said that there is no benefit at all, at least...... If you're hungry this night, you might be able to get someone to go to the street and buy a late-night snack.

Yes!

At the same time as the meeting, Li Chong also talked to the prime ministers and briefly described what Luoyang would be like in the future.

At night, the whole of Luoyang will become a city that never sleeps.

Everywhere in the city were lanterns.

People drank and stayed up all night.

Of course, this is definitely a counterexample.

But......

In a good harvest year, if you just want to have a drink, it doesn't get in the way.

Then, those who come out in the morning to do business, and those who can do business in the evening, can touch each other on the street in the early morning of the next day.

Ordinary officials refer to those low-level officials who are hungry at night and can go directly outside to find food.

There is no need for more slaves in this house.

Anyway, once the curfew is lifted, no matter what you do, it will become extremely convenient.

A variety of products will emerge at this time.

But if you say that......

During this period, some problems will inevitably occur, such as encroaching on the street and affecting traffic.

This problem can only be solved by law enforcement.

In fact......

The lifting of the curfew is probably the most friendly to middle and lower-level officials.

Because, in this way, there are a large number of migrant workers to work for them.

Wouldn't that be a great thing for them?

Even......

If there are more people, they can still have very cheap labor.
