Chapter 969 We have no relatives
Chang'an City implemented a trial curfew. Li Mingda knew that with the development of the Tang Dynasty, this kind of thing would be canceled sooner or later. The control of individual cities and towns was not strict, and it was limited to commercial areas.
There are hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an City, and the cities and towns where the residents live will still be locked according to time.
There were a lot more Jinwu guards patrolling the streets at night than before. Together with the Jinyi guards, the government office was much better after being rectified by Li Mingda. They were more or less active at night.
You have to say that the population of a large county now is hundreds of thousands, and the construction gap in 2000 means that the city area here is much larger.
Without enough officials and street patrols, it is impossible to ensure the safety of these hundreds of thousands of people. Of course, there are not too many chemical weapons in this era, and it is impossible to kill hundreds of thousands of people at once.
Most of them were roosters, dogs, and thieves, and some were fighting, but only a few committed murders and arson. In this era, wooden structures were the most common, and once they were set on fire, half of the city would be destroyed, so arson was a serious crime.
Most people will not set fires unless they are extremely vicious. This word is used to describe them.
At night, the temperature is much different from that during the day, and there is no one except for sneakers and the Jinwu Guards on duty.
Li Mingda's place is a little more relaxed for those neighbors who have activities in the bustling evenings, but this tax is the key point.
As a so-called money-consuming cave, a large part of the taxes in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty came from here. After tax adjustments, some of the ones with insufficient resources and poor abilities were eliminated, leaving only large-scale integrated enterprises.
Shop.
At night, the lights were brightly lit and the competition was fierce, but business was extremely good.
This place used to be a hiding place for all kinds of religions, and it still is like this now. What they don't know is who is behind these shops.
Most of the powerful people who ran this industry in the past had dirty hands and feet, such as Li Yuanchang DC, which has been wiped out. Naturally, their industry cannot be completely left to outsiders to take over, so the power of the Tang Dynasty government here is unusually large.
.
In Taiji Palace, you can overlook the entire Chang'an City from a high point on the towering tower. Here you can observe the movements of most cities in Chang'an City at all times.
In some central areas of Fang City, there are also some overlooking and warning towers, which are used for detection and arrest, as well as some security work.
Some of the telescopes suggested by Li Mingda have been mass-produced. These things have not been exported, but only a few people use them regularly.
The wind is whistling
The guards guarding the palace have put on cloaks to keep out the cold. At night, there will be a torch inserted at every other section of the city wall. There are more guards at night than during the day.
Don't watch those stupid dramas. There are not many people on the city wall at night, and the emperor will die if he comes looking for it.
There were more guards at night than during the day. Not only were there more people, but there were also some hidden sentries. They were hiding in corners and staring around.
The gate of the palace is not completely open. Just like an existing palace, there is actually a thousand-seat corridor at the entrance where many imperial guards are stationed.
This is a corridor hundreds of meters long. The road is not wide, and it is surrounded by guards. There are city walls and garrisons on both sides. How many people do you think you need to rush in?
This thing is more dangerous than the ordinary urn city, and there are more officials from outside entering the palace, which is also a lot of deterrence. Most of the locals, such as Fang Xuanling, are used to it, and if the emperor wants to kill you, it is the same there.
On the upper floor of the city gate, Jia Xu and Guo Jia were wearing cloaks to keep out the cold, holding binoculars in their hands, looking at the bustling West Market.
"Fengxiao, you have arranged a lot of people."
"No, no, they are all old men from Baiqisi. Leave them there to waste their time, why not find them a job?"
"Does the lord know?"
"have no idea"
"you sure?"
Looking at Jia Xu's appearance and tone, he had some doubts in his firm voice just now. It's possible that the salted fish lord of his family who hides in the royal study every day roasting kidneys really knows something, or every step of the way.
A state that everyone understands.
Feeling confused
A guilty look appeared on Guo Jia's face, and he asked Jia Xu in a low voice: "Brother Wenhe, do you think the lord knows?"
A smile appeared on Jia Xu's face and she answered Guo Jia with a calm look: "I don't know whether your lord knows."
In Guo Jia's eyes, that smile was exactly like that of an old fox who has practiced Taoism for thousands of years. He felt a little contempt for Jia Xu in his heart. As a smart man, he knew what Jia Xu was going to do.
amuse yourself
After all, it wasn't a big deal. Li Mingda knew that the punishment wouldn't be too severe. The difference was whether he should be punished without drinking, or whether he should be thrown to the door of Tai Chi Palace's imperial study and beaten.
He can't be beaten to death, nor can he be crippled. After all, he just arranged a few people. Besides, there are many spies in the West City itself such as Jin Yiwei and Neiwei Mansion.
"Brother Wenhe, are you doing this to your little brother?"
"Not a kiss"
“I can’t even express myself.”
"We are not related"
"Brother, I heard that you have a sister"
Jia Xu reached out and pinched Guo Jia's ears, twisting and flicking them: "You brat, what are you thinking about?"
"Brother, it's just a joke. Your sister, my lord, do you know?"
Jia Xu frowned slightly, thought briefly and then shook his head: "I probably don't know, my sister never showed up before."
Guo Jia smiled and said to Jia Xu: "How about I tell His Majesty about this, brother? How about you help me later?"
"It's better to be harmonious"
"No, things can still be discussed."
Seeing that Jia Xu was not going to pay attention to him, Guo Jia leaned forward eagerly and continued to flatter Jia Xu: "Brother Wenhe, after all, we have been neighbors for so long, and we are colleagues for the second time. How about you?"
I’ll give you half of my hidden wine.”
Hiding wine
Guo Jia was good at wine. If the wine on his lips could be kept, the answer was impossible. He had already given away the inventory he had acquired at Princess Li Mingda's house.
He, Guo Jia, did not keep any of the rewards from within the palace. He also tried to deceive other people, which Li Mingda slapped in the face.
that scene
Family members gathered around to watch
So lively
As if thinking of the scene of being dominated by Li Mingda, Guo Jia couldn't help but feel numb even though he was thick-skinned. After all, not many artists were beaten and let the artist watch and leave paintings. If the album was handed down, it would be a long time.
It hasn't been smelly for many years.
Guo Jia, a man of superior intelligence, gave Jia Xu a hard time, and it was not true that Jia Xu would not help him.
Seeing Brother Guo Jia shouting, he nodded slightly after saying a lot of good things: "Okay, Lord Quan, I will be gentle when I beat you."
"(⊙o⊙)...I still have to be beaten."
Jia Xu glared at Guo Jia: "You will naturally be rewarded for the good things you have done."
Guo Jia looked helpless: "We are just helping those people to firm up their ideas."
"How did you persuade those people to take advantage of the sergeant at the border and let them sneak into the ranks of human traffickers and move towards the official forces of the Tang Dynasty?"
