Chapter 376 How to spend money?

In the palace, Li Er was worried about looking at a bunch of stamps. It was not because of reviewing them, but it was all seen, but to solve this matter, it still needs to be carefully considered. He has already summoned his advisers to help.

When he heard that Bai Fan was coming, Li Er took it out and discussed with him.

"Jane Zhi is here just right. I am worried about something. These stamps have made me worry. Please give me the staff officer!" Li Er took a few copies and handed them over.

Bai Fan was puzzled: "Your Majesty, I have no official position and no right to review memorials. But there is a suggestion that Your Majesty alone has limited energy after all, and officials from all over the world will report memorials according to memorials. How much can Your Majesty review memorials if you don't eat or drink a day?

It is better to let the ministers screen the memorials first, discuss and discuss various major issues in advance, come up with solutions, and in the end, which plan is appropriate or whether it is feasible, so that it will be much more convenient."

Li Er was very happy: "Jian Zhi said it is right. I was already dizzy when I reviewed 60 memorials every day. I was afraid of any mistakes. I often consulted with Xuanling and the others. Now it seems that it is better to let them discuss it first. After all, these things will depend on them to implement in the end.

OK, they will talk about this later when they come.

My trouble is not to review the memorials. You can first look at what happened in the memorials."

Bai Fan looked through several memorials in his hand, and they were all trivial, but they had one common feature. Recently, Chang'an has become a little confused. Not only Chang'an, but other big cities have chaos.

According to the law, there is a curfew system in Chang'an and big cities, and no one is allowed on the streets after dark. For this reason, Chang'an Wuhou still patrolled the streets at night to ensure public security.

However, recently, Wuhou often walked on the street after catching a curfew. These people generally have a characteristic, that is, they all go to fireworks places, or casinos, and of all ages.

This shows that it is not a big rebellion, because there is no need for the old man to rebel? There must be other things.

"My subordinates are puzzled by this matter. These people are all natives from Chang'an. Why have they not seen each other in the past? But they have become active recently?" Bai Fan asked Li Er.

Li Er smiled and said, "It's very simple. Does Jian Zhi know the saying "I think about it with fullness and warmth"?"

In a simple sentence, Bai Fan suddenly realized!

In the past, the Tang Dynasty was poor, and the people were not full or warm in food, and war broke out from time to time. The daily curfew was just to prevent spies or rebellion.

But today is different from the past. The Tang Dynasty has become increasingly powerful through several years of development. Especially when the Eastern Turks were destroyed last time, the Tang Dynasty can be said to be in the limelight, and one fights three defeats the four barbarians.

Not only that, the Tang Dynasty occupied the territory of the Eastern Turks in the north and sent large amounts of manpower and material resources to build cities in the north, preparing to occupy the territory of the northern grasslands in a step-by-step manner. Therefore, many people followed the construction team of the Tang Dynasty and the transportation team made considerable wealth.

The construction of the northern region will take at least three years to complete, so the people of the Tang Dynasty can earn at least three years of money. Not only the people of Chang'an, but also the people of all parts of the north will benefit from this.

The people of the grassland were also loved to hear it. In the past, the people of the aristocrats were grazing, not only living in the grass, but also living without enough food and clothing, but also living in a place of nobility and unable to withstand the epidemic. Now the Tang people have destroyed the grassland country. Although there have been a group of rulers, the people of the Tang Dynasty did not discriminate against the grassland people and came to help build cities and protect the people. The grassland herders warmly welcomed the arrival of the Tang Dynasty soldiers and civilians.

Therefore, the construction of the North is progressing very smoothly, which is the virtuous cycle that the Tang Dynasty wants to see.

Things are good. Except for a small number of people who respond to policies and move to the north to settle down, most people come back after making money.

This is nothing, but it is bad because everyone has money and thinks about it with fullness!

When you are poor, you will think about how to make money, but after getting rich, many people will think about how to squander and experience the lives of the rich. This is common sense.

However, the entertainment activities were extremely scarce in the Tang Dynasty, with only brothels, brothels, and gambling houses. So a group of nouveau riche became regular visitors here, so they simply indulged in and no longer cared about any curfews. Anyway, the emperor was kind, and as long as he found out that it was not a spy rebellion, he would let himself go.

This is what Li Er has a headache about. It is not a good thing to continue messing around like this. It will give bad people an opportunity to take advantage of it in the future.

Bai Fan smiled. It was better to be a coincidence than to be able to make money. He was just thinking about how to make money!

He spoke confidently: "This matter is also the purpose of the ministers. When the people have money, we cannot restrict them from being wealth-keeping slaves and keeping their money at home.

This is not conducive to the circulation of the Tang Dynasty economy. We also need them to spend money, and then the people will make money again, instead of making trouble in this way."

Li Er nodded, "But how can they spend money after they have enough food and clothing? Could it be that I can open a few more brothels and casinos? Not to mention that the country does not compete with the people for profit, this matter alone cannot be done. Small gambling is good for the body and big gambling is harmful. Gambling should not be too much, and the more brothels, the better."

Bai Fan shook his head and said, "Of course not. It is better to be out of here than to block. The ministers have many entertainment activities, such as gambling, playing methods, performance methods, competitive methods, etc., but it is not limited to brothels and casinos.

These can be used as leisure and entertainment activities for the people after dinner. Only by finding ways to meet the boring needs of the people, then this chaotic problem is not a problem. In short, we cannot simply suppress it."

"Oh, let's talk about it carefully!"

Then Bai Fan introduced Li Er in detail to many entertainment activities, such as songs and dances, dramas, crosstalk sketches, various competitive competitions, etc. Li Er clapped and applauded. Although he had never seen these novel things, he could already imagine the fun in it.

"But, this matter requires His Majesty to order the lifting of the curfew system! Otherwise, the people will still be restless and excited after the curfew, and their excitement will break out if they cannot be released, and they will still find trouble." Bai Fan suggested.

Li Er pondered, this is still difficult to make a decision. The curfew is for stability. Now you tell me that it seems a bit unimaginable to lift the curfew and let the people come out to move out for stability, but if you think about it carefully, it is indeed one time and another.

"Actually, Your Majesty's worries are not necessary. What environment was there back then? Various hidden dangers were constantly there, but after years of hard work, the hidden dangers of the Tang Dynasty have basically emerged and were eliminated by us. The people are all applauding. Who doesn't praise you as a wise monarch in Chang'an? The people remember His Majesty's benefits, how could they attack you?

In fact, even if someone has bad intentions, according to the expectations of His Majesty, we don’t need to verify it, the people may find it out. No one wants something wrong with His Majesty. After all, good days have just begun.” Bai Fan persuaded.

After saying this, Li Er smiled happily and felt a sense of accomplishment in an instant. Although it was a bit exaggerated, it was true that the people of Chang'an liked him as the emperor, because he went on tours from time to time, and the people's evaluation of the emperor was indeed very good.

"So, Chang'an will be trialed for one month now. If it doesn't work, then the curfew will be restored. Are you talking about this curfew?

You can just go to the casino. With my warrant, no one dares to stop you. It’s just that you can pay the money. You are the richest man in the Tang Dynasty. In the end, I agree to the name of the No. 1 casino in the Tang Dynasty. What do you think?”

Bai Fan was overjoyed. Emperor Li Er was simply generous. This name is a golden signboard, which is much more valuable than the construction cost.

Chapter 4 will be released in the morning, thank you for your likes and rewards! There will be updates in the afternoon, and I will try my best to explode more!
