Time flies, soon to the small year, all kinds of construction in Luoyang City have been carried out for the most part, in this upcoming New Year, Hua'an ordered to suspend all construction and maintenance projects in Luoyang City, so that the craftsmen who have worked hard for months can rest for a few days and relieve the tension and fatigue of the body.

The craftsmen who live within a radius of 100 miles, after receiving their wages, are naturally all anxious to return to their hometowns to reunite with their families who have been separated for several months, while those craftsmen who are far away from their hometowns can only stay in Jiankang City for the New Year, and wait for the New Year to continue to work, after all, their hometowns are too far away, if they return to their hometowns, it will take several months to go back and forth, and this will greatly delay their work, and will also have a great impact on the construction progress of the entire Luoyang City.

Of course, they were able to stay in Luoyang City for the New Year, and it was also the reason why Hua'an ordered his subordinate officials to do their best to keep it, and the reason why Hua'an did this was naturally to celebrate the New Year, the construction progress of Luoyang City, however, let these craftsmen who were far away from their hometown spend the New Year in Luoyang City, naturally it was necessary to properly resettle, although the shed could live, but the conditions were too simple, for this reason, Hua'an decided to let these craftsmen temporarily move into the newly built house, so that they could feel the warmth of home, and, These craftsmen were given plenty of wine, meat, and food to make them feel comfortable and spend the New Year in Luoyang City with peace of mind.

At this time, in order to live this year with peace of mind, the people of Luoyang City, as well as the people in the countryside outside the city, are actively stockpiling various materials for the New Year, and the whole Luoyang City is particularly lively and prosperous inside and outside.

Walking on the streets of Luoyang City, you can see people buying New Year's goods everywhere, and these people carry a large number of New Year's goods they have bought. Shuttling through the streets of Luoyang City adds a unique scenery to this thriving city, especially those fashionably dressed women, which makes this city full of evocative feelings.

In the past few years, large-scale water conservancy construction has been carried out around the city of Luoyang. Therefore, the products near Luoyang City are very rich, and there are many hawkers selling on the streets, who have enough New Year's goods for the people of the city to consume, and can completely let all the people enjoy a materially abundant life.

At this time when the Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated, the focus of the work of all officials in Luoyang City is to make all the people be able to celebrate the New Year, and to let all the people in Luoyang City have enough New Year's goods, large and small officials. Busy with the deployment of supplies from the nearby countryside, and the Chinese New Year is also a time when various social problems are frequent, for this reason, the soldiers in the city have also comprehensively strengthened patrols, once found lawbreakers are immediately arrested, and severely punished.

Luoyang City is being carried out in an orderly manner, and in order to have a clearer understanding of the various situations in Luoyang City. Naturally, Hua'an inevitably went to the streets in person to conduct some actual investigation. After all, only by experiencing it yourself can we know more clearly about the situation in the city, and besides, staying in the palace all day long will make people go crazy.

Hua An led several pro-soldiers. In the streets of Luoyang City, leisurely strolling, the shops on both sides of the streets of Luoyang City, all hung bright red lanterns, looking full of intoxicating New Year's flavor. And the endless stream of pedestrians makes the whole street full of popularity, and people's mood will be unconsciously better.

Because the newly built streets have begun to open, the business of Luoyang City has become more prosperous, and the choice of pedestrians is naturally greater.

Some of the people who had already entered the streets could not even find the exit, and they were dizzy and circled around the streets.

Seeing such a lively scene in Luoyang City, Hua An's mood was naturally excellent, he originally wanted to go to the Western Regions Wine Store to visit the Rouge Girl, but at this time, the lively scene of the street deeply attracted Hua An, and let Hua An decide to continue to wander on the street to feel more of this rare peaceful and prosperous world.

An hour later, the sky has begun to darken, and the people who are buying New Year's goods on the street begin to leave in large numbers, after all, there is a curfew in Luoyang City at this time, and if you can't return home before the curfew, you will be caught and punished.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, let's go back to the palace as soon as possible!" A pro-soldier reminded in a whisper.

Hua An was on the rise, shook his head, and said: "Don't worry, this king doesn't want to return to the palace yet, go to the city gate to have a look." After saying that, he walked in the direction of the city gate.

Soon, Hua'an and his party arrived near the east gate of Luoyang City, there are a lot of pedestrians in and out here, among them, especially the pedestrians who go out of the city are the most, some of them are people who live outside the city, and some are vendors who enter the city to sell New Year's goods, they are very anxious to leave Luoyang City before the city gate is closed, of course, there are also a small number of people who go out of the city, in a hurry to return to the city.

As the sky became darker and darker, the flow of people at the city gate became less and less, and soon there were a few scattered people.

......When the time came for the city gate to close, the soldiers defending the city immediately closed the city gate according to the order.

At this time, there are still a small number of people who have not had time to leave, they are very anxious to get out of the city, but the soldiers guarding the city stopped them, after all, they are also acting according to the order, without the order of the peak, they have no right to open the city gate at will, and these people who are anxious to leave the city, can only do it in a hurry, at this time, they can no longer leave Luoyang City, and in this way, they must find an inn in the city to rest, otherwise, if they are found by patrolling soldiers on the street, It is to grasp and punish the sin.

A group of hawkers and civilians who had been stopped in the city walked back in despair, and they had to find an inn to live in before it was completely dark, or else they would be in trouble.

Seeing this situation, Hua An and several of his personal soldiers also pretended to be pedestrians blocked in the city, and followed behind these blocked pedestrians and walked in the direction of the inn in the city.

"Look at the costumes of a few people, it's the people around Luoyang City!" Hua An followed behind several hawkers and whispered a conversation.

Several hawkers turned their heads and looked at Hua'an, all slightly stunned. After all, Hua'an's outfit looks like a rich and noble family, and there are a few followers behind him, and several of them are rusticly dressed, so Hua'an can take the initiative to greet them. They were a little surprised.

"We are all people from the countryside in the east of the city, and we came to Luoyang City together to sell vegetables and fruits produced in the field, is there anything wrong with this son?" An elderly citizen replied softly.

Hua An smiled slightly, and said softly: "I and all of you were stopped in the city by the soldiers guarding the city, and it can be regarded as fate, why don't you go together?" After speaking, he looked at a few poorly dressed vendors.

A hawker hurriedly said: "Childe is a rich and noble family at first glance, and we are all poor farmers, how dare we walk with Childe." Besides, I'll just find the most dilapidated inn, and with the identity of a son, I naturally have to go to a first-class inn. After speaking, he looked at Hua'an.

Obviously, these peddlers feel that the poor and the rich are completely two worlds and should not have anything to do with each other, and that being poor cannot afford to be rich.

Hua An hurriedly waved his hand. He said softly, "It's okay, it's okay." I feel that I am destined for you, and besides, the poor and the rich should be equal, and there should be no difference. After speaking, he looked at a few vendors.

"Since Childe insists on doing so, then it's better to go together." Seeing that Hua'an insisted on going along, the hawkers naturally would not object.

Thereupon. Hua An and a few hawkers walked towards the inn location on the street.

Halfway through, Hua An looked at a few vendors and asked softly, "It's almost the New Year, are all the New Year's goods in your house ready?" ”

"Hui Gongzi. Basically, we went into the city today to sell the vegetables and fruits at home, in order to buy a few catties of meat in the market, so that the family's New Year's goods are all ready. A peddler, whispered.

"Yes! Childe, in recent years, our days have become more and more prosperous, and there is more and more surplus food at home. Another vendor said.

"Don't hide it from the son, we ordinary people can live such a good life, all thanks to the king, I think that when Luoyang City was occupied by Zhao State, our people were really in dire straits! Not only can we not have enough to eat, but we also face the risk of being killed at any time, but now it is different, we can work with peace of mind, live with peace of mind, and live a much better life than before. An old vendor said excitedly.

Seeing the hawker praising himself, Hua'an was naturally very happy, after all, it was Hua'an's greatest honor to be so positively affirmed by the people.

Hua An was happy for a moment, looked at a few hawkers, and then said: "Now that you are stopped in the city, your relatives at home must be very anxious, don't you have any complaints in your hearts?" ”

A peddler hurriedly said: "What Childe said is that we couldn't go out of the city to go home, and the relatives at home must be very anxious, but this is also our own fault, if we leave before the city gate is closed, it will naturally not be like this, who can blame it?" ”

Another vendor said, "The main reason why we didn't get out of the city before the gates closed was because it got bigger and there were more streets, and we thought we would have left the city in time, but we didn't expect it to be a step too late. ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! The city was indeed much larger than before, and there were more streets, and it took us nearly half an hour to walk from the streets to the gates. If we knew that was the case, we would have left earlier. Another peddler nodded.

Obviously, the main reason why these peddlers did not leave Luoyang City before the city gate closed was because they made an empirical mistake and did not have the proper understanding of the expansion of the city and the streets, so they did not leave Luoyang City before the city gate closed.

Hearing this, Hua An nodded thoughtfully, the hawkers were right, the reason why they were blocked in the city was entirely because Luoyang City was too big, so as long as there was a slight delay at dusk, it would be difficult to leave the city before the city gate was closed, that is to say, the city became larger, and there was also a disadvantage, that is, it limited the time for the people outside the city to move in the city, thus damaging the interests of the people in a certain way.

"Wouldn't it be nice if the gates could be closed an hour later, or if they were not closed all night?" Hua An said softly.

When a hawker heard this, he smiled and said: "Childe really likes to joke, when the city gate is closed, it is not up to us ordinary people to have the final say, besides, it has been a rule since ancient times to close the city gate at night, in order to prevent thieves and theft, how can it not be closed all night?" ”

Obviously, the peddler felt that Hua'an's idea was whimsical, and there was absolutely no possibility of realizing it, and at night, most of the people had to rest, and for whom did the city gate open?

Hua An smiled and said softly: "What I said below is serious, not a joke, there are 200,000 soldiers around Luoyang City, what thieves dare to invade Luoyang City?" It is perfectly feasible to leave the gates unclosed at night. ”

Obviously, Hua'an said this after careful consideration, and thought that it was possible to stay all night without closing the city gate, only in this way can it be more convenient for the daily travel of the people, and avoid making the people wait in vain, and in this way, the commerce of Luoyang City will be greatly promoted.

Naturally, several hawkers did not understand Hua An's intentions, and looked at Hua An in great surprise, thinking that Hua An's idea was completely crazy.

Hua An didn't want to explain too much, looked at a few hawkers, and said softly: "I suddenly thought of an urgent matter, so I will take the first step." After speaking, he led several personal soldiers under his command and marched in the direction of the palace.

Several vendors shook their heads helplessly and walked in the direction of the nearest inn.

At this time, Hua Anxin has generated a crazy plan, and this plan must be carefully considered, whether it is feasible for Luoyang City not to close the city gate all night, Hua An must think carefully and discuss it carefully with all the henchmen under his command, after all, it is a big deal to keep the city gate open, and it must be very cautious, and it is absolutely not allowed to act hastily.

Soon, Hua An arrived at the North Palace, and immediately ran to the main hall, and at this time the sky was completely dark, there were only a few palace people in the main hall, and all the henchmen had already left.

Hua An originally planned to send someone to summon a few henchmen immediately, but at this time, it was getting late, and it was estimated that all the henchmen had already rested, and Hua An had not completely thought about the feasibility of the plan in his heart, so he decided to think about it for a night, and after he had fully considered it, he would discuss the matter with his henchmen early the next morning.
