After several hours of careful consideration, Hua'an has considered the plan in his heart very clearly, and believes that it is completely feasible in Luoyang City, but it is undeniable that when implementing this plan, there will be many problems, however, Hua'an feels that as long as he is fully prepared, he can deal with these problems, after all, the huge commercial benefits brought by the implementation of this plan are immeasurable, and no matter how much the price is paid, it is very worthwhile.

Hua'anzhong's plan is to build Luoyang City into a city that never sleeps, in this city that never sleeps, the curfew policy will be completely abolished, and the four city gates will never be closed, so that it will greatly promote the prosperity and prosperity of Luoyang City.

Of course, in order to do this, there are still many thorny problems to be solved, first of all, the people at this time, have been accustomed to the sunrise and do a regular life of daily income and rest, so that they can adapt to the night life is only afraid of difficulty, of course, as long as a small number of people adapt to the night life, after all, it is impossible to make all the people become night owls, secondly, the reason why the city wants to implement the curfew policy at night, in order to prevent thieves and theft, easy to manage, after all, the light at night is very dim, if there is no curfew, There will be a lot of pressure on the management of the city, but there are solutions, such as increasing the number of night patrols and setting up lights in the dark alleys of the city to create a bright environment. Of course, in addition to these two items, there are a lot of other problems that need to be solved, such as administrative costs, management of night patrol personnel, etc., but as long as there are huge benefits, Huaan feels that these problems can be solved very well.

Early the next morning, all the confidants and officials went to the main hall of the palace. And Hua An also came to the main hall early, and immediately told all the confidants and officials of his thoughts.

After hearing Hua'an's crazy plan, all the henchmen were stunned in surprise, they never expected that Hua'an would actually propose a plan to lift the curfew and open the city gate at night, which was far beyond their imagination. After all, since ancient times, it has been a matter of course to close all city gates at night and impose a strict curfew on the city, and no one has ever disputed this, of course, the only exception is on special days, such as the Shangyuan Festival, when all dynasties have lifted the curfew and celebrated with the people.

"Your Majesty. It seems a little inappropriate to build Luoyang City into a city that never sleeps! Since ancient times, all dynasties and generations have adhered to the night to close the city gates, the implementation of curfews in the city, if you rashly change this ancestral system, I am afraid that it will cause chaos in Luoyang City! One official objected first.

"Yes! Your Majesty, the Sleepless City Project can indeed promote prosperity, but it will also break the old order. In case the control is improper, it is very likely to cause chaos in Luoyang City. "Another officer. Objections were raised.

Obviously, they disagreed with Hua'an's plan and felt that Hua'an's idea was too immature, after all, in the hearts of these old officials, maintaining the security and stability of Luoyang City was the most important thing. Any move that undermines law and order is risky and undesirable.

Listening to the opposition of several henchmen, Hua An was naturally very displeased, paused, and said: "This king proposed to build Luoyang City into a city that never sleeps. It is not a whim, but the result of a night of careful consideration, you should know that the scale of Luoyang City is getting bigger and bigger, it takes nearly half an hour to walk from the street to the east gate, many hawkers in order to leave the city before the city gate is closed, have to close the stall when the sky is still bright, yesterday evening, the king saw with his own eyes that there are many people who enter the city to sell vegetables and fruits, because the stall is a moment late, and are blocked in the city, and also, the city gate is opened at sunrise in the morning, A large number of hawkers and people flocked into the city, causing a lot of crowding, many vegetable vendors, until an hour later to reach the street, and at this time, the sun is very high, fresh vegetables have long wilted, so the people in the city have to buy the wilted vegetables, this problem, haven't you considered? ”

When the confidants heard this, they looked at each other a few times, and did not raise any objections, after all, Hua An was telling the truth, and they also knew something about these situations, especially the servants in their family, who bought not too fresh vegetables every day, which also made them feel dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, in this case, it is possible to appropriately delay the closing of the city gates, and appropriately advance the opening of the city gates, so that the problems raised by the king can be solved." A confidant official said.

"Yes! O king, delay the closing of the gates by an hour, and advance the opening of the gates by an hour, so that it will be sufficient. Another confidant chimed in.

"Your Majesty, the city gates are closed at night to prevent thieves and thieves, so as to ensure that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and if the gates are not closed all night, it will be troublesome in case of a sneak attack by thieves, and the thieves in the city will also flee from the city at night after stealing property, which makes it difficult to catch the thieves.

Obviously, these henchmen feel that as long as the opening and closing time of the city gate is adjusted to a certain extent, there is no need to open the gate all night, after all, the role of the city gate is to ensure the safety of the city, in order to safeguard the interests of the people, if the city gate is not closed all night, it is better to remove the city gate directly.

Hua'an had long known that his henchmen would oppose the plan to build a city that never sleeps, but Hua'an had already thought about this plan very carefully, so the opposition of his henchmen would not shake Hua'an's determination to build a city that never sleeps.

"You have been worried, now that this king has deployed 200,000 soldiers and horses around Luoyang City, which thief can raid Luoyang City at night? As for the security in the city, it is completely possible to increase the patrol force, and deploy enough soldiers and horses inside and outside the city gate, and closely monitor the merchants and people entering and leaving the city to ensure the stability of the city, this king feels that as long as the patrol is set up five miles outside the city gate, it is enough to provide early warning for the city, and as long as the patrol soldiers and horses in the city are increased several times at night, it is enough to ensure the security of the city, and there is no need to worry too much at all. Hua An looked at his henchmen and said.

Obviously, Hua'an is also telling the truth, there are more than 200,000 soldiers around Luoyang City today, and there are enough soldiers and horses in Luoyang City. For this reason, there is no force at all that dares to sneak attack Luoyang City at night, and besides, Hua'an also plans to set up rangers outside the city gate at night, so far. It also provided a very good warning for Luoyang City.

"Your Majesty, your vision at night is not good, even if you increase the number of patrol soldiers and horses by three or five times, I am afraid that it will not be as effective as the daytime, and I am afraid that many lawbreakers will take the opportunity to endanger the people!" A confidant official said.

"Your Majesty, once the curfew is lifted, the roosters and dogs will be able to shuttle through the night in a bright and bright way. It will bring great pressure to the security of Luoyang City, Luoyang City is so big, how many more training soldiers and horses must be added? Another of the heart's subordinates objected loudly.

It can be seen that the henchmen still disagree with the policy of lifting the curfew, and believe that the lifting of the curfew will pose a very big challenge to the security of Luoyang City. It will even interfere with the lives of ordinary people in general.

Hua An thought for a moment, and said, "This question." The king has been thinking about it for a long time, and the poor vision at night is indeed very conducive to the activities of the rooster and dog thieves, but the king thinks that as long as there are enough lighting torches in the city. It is enough to solve this problem, and there is also a need to increase the punishment, as long as the lawbreakers are found, they must be dealt with strictly after they are caught. In order to make an example of killing a hundred, we must not let lawbreakers disturb the security of Luoyang City. ”

"Your Majesty, Luoyang City is so big, there are streets and alleys everywhere, how many lighting torches do you need to prepare! Also, in case of a fire, wouldn't the consequences be very severe. One of the henchmen spoke.

"Yes! Wang, it must be a big expense to prepare torches for lighting in all the streets and alleys of Luoyang City, and if it causes a fire, the consequences will be even more severe. Another confidant official said.

"Your Majesty, the common people must rest, and it is best to rest at sunrise and sunset, so why should the curfew be lifted at such a great price?" One of the generals objected.

Obviously, everyone was aware of the strict problems that the curfew might cause, but they did not think about the great benefits that the curfew could play for the prosperity of Luoyang City's commerce, of course, this was also due to the limitations of their understanding, after all, at this time, they could not understand the huge role that the city that never sleeps could play in promoting the commerce of Luoyang City.

The henchmen under his command are full of suspicion and reservations about Luoyang City's plan to never sleep, which makes Hua'an very dissatisfied, but since he has made up his mind, Hua'an will not give up halfway.

"How many resources does it cost to add a few torches? Also, the whole city is full of trained men and horses, how can a fire break out? As a precaution, a large vat can be prepared in each street and filled with water, so that as long as the trained soldiers and horses detect the fire in time, the fire can be extinguished in the shortest possible time, and no major fire can be caused at all. Hua An looked at the henchmen under his command and said.

Seeing that Hua'an had made up his mind to build Luoyang City into a city that never sleeps, all the henchmen suddenly had a feeling of powerlessness to stop it, and felt that no matter how much they persuaded him, it would be impossible to dispel Hua'an's thoughts, so they all had no choice but to whisper to each other.

"Wang Meng, what do you think?" Seeing that Wang Meng had been silent, Hua An asked.

Wang Meng pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, the last general feels that lifting the curfew has both advantages and disadvantages, as for whether to close the city gates, it is not too important, however, the last general feels that the king's plan can be tried, if it really works, it will be carried out, if it does not work, then this plan will be revoked." ”

Obviously, Wang Meng still supports this plan, but he said it more tactfully.

When Hua An heard this, he was very happy, nodded, and said: "General Wang is right, whether this king's plan can work, don't you know if you try it?" After speaking, he looked at Wang Meng.

Wang Meng clenched his fists and said again: "Your Majesty, although the plan of the city that never sleeps, although it can be tried, it must also be carefully prepared, and the last general is willing to help the king." After speaking, he looked at Hua'an.

Hua'an nodded with satisfaction, and officially issued a plan to build Luoyang City into a city that never sleeps, of course, the specific implementation details, Hua'an still has to discuss carefully with Wang Meng and several others.

In the palace hall, Hua An and Wang Meng and others had a careful discussion, and finally finalized the specific details of the action.

First of all, on the issue of the city gates, Hua'an decided to expand the defenders of the four gates of Luoyang City to 1,000 men, that is, a whole battalion, of which three brigades were on duty for four hours, so that it was enough to ensure that each city gate was garrisoned by 300 men and horses at any time, and they had to carry out a certain rotation every time they were on duty, and the remaining 100 guards were naturally on duty during the day with the battalion master, and the 300 men and horses of each brigade should also be divided into three parts, among them, a hundred men and horses were deployed on the city wall. A hundred men and horses are deployed inside and outside the entrance of the city gate, and the remaining one hundred men and horses are deployed outside the city, and extend two miles along the city gate, and a small number of soldiers must ride horses to patrol within a radius of about ten miles from the city gate, so as to ensure the absolute safety of Luoyang City.

As for the issue of strictness that may arise after the curfew is lifted, Hua An, Wang Meng and others have also conducted careful and in-depth research and formulated a very detailed plan.

First of all, the number of security patrols in the city must be doubled, and there are more patrols at night than during the day, so as to deter lawbreakers who want to take action.

Secondly, in addition to the brightly lit commercial streets, in some relatively secluded and dark alleys, it is necessary to set up bonfires for lighting, and send special personnel to manage these bonfires, so that at night, firewood can be added in time, of course, in order to prevent fires, in each place where the bonfires are set up, a large vat is prepared, and the tank is filled with enough water to extinguish the fire, and the work of filling the vat with water is also completely handled by the personnel responsible for managing the bonfire, so as to save administrative expenses.

In addition to the above two items, there is also one of the most important strategies, that is, to re-promulgate the law and order regulations of Luoyang City, and impose heavy penalties on lawbreakers, so as to deter lawbreakers who are ready to move in the city and ensure the vital interests of ordinary people.

Hua'an believes that this series of measures can build Luoyang City into a charming city that never sleeps, and further promote the prosperity and prosperity of Luoyang City. (To be continued......)
