Chapter 832 Canceling curfew to expand domestic demand
Chapter 832 Canceling curfew to expand domestic demand
Under Jin Yiwei's unremitting crackdown, the law and order situation in various parts of Daming has reached an unprecedented level. Not only vicious incidents of murder and robbing have occurred, but even security cases such as petty theft and swindling are hard to find.
In the middle of last year, according to Zhu Youjian's will, after a few years, Jinyiwei launched a second purification operation across the country, indiscriminately attacking green-skinned thugs and lazy liars in various towns and villages.
Zhu Youjian's will is: rather kill the wrong than let it go.
With the cooperation of local officials who are familiar with the local situation, all relevant people with a bad reputation on weekdays, no matter whether you are breaking the law or wandering around, will be thrown to the ground by the captain of Jinyi, and then tied up with ropes. Those who dared to escape or resist were either killed on the spot or beheaded in public after being captured.
More than half a year later, except for the death row inmates who need to be executed in autumn, the prisoners in prisons all over the country were successively escorted to Quanzhou Prefecture, and then sent to Nanya Province by boat in batches. The first batch of hard-hitting targets sent over will gather and continue to develop this new continent. As for whether they will survive and how long they will live, it all depends on everyone's artificiality and ability.
After these two crackdowns, the evil people who made ordinary people hate and fear were almost wiped out in the market. Not picking up things on the road and not closing their doors at night has become the norm in the lives of most people in most areas of Ming Dynasty. .
In view of this excellent situation, after discussing with the cabinet ministers, Zhu Youjian decided to cancel the curfew system that had been implemented in China since the Song Dynasty, so as to further increase the prosperity of the commodity market and give the people a greater sense of happiness.
The curfew order has existed since ancient times. In "Zhou Li·Qiu Lian Si Kou", the post of "Si Wushi" was set up to be responsible for the night prohibition. With the change of dynasties, the curfew system became more and more strict and detailed. This system lasted until the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Living in that era, if you want to meet up with one or two girlfriends or bad friends, find a romantic restaurant to have dinner, drink some wine, chat with each other, and then use the strength of the wine to yell and sing to the wine, Life is heroic, so save yourself, the restaurant must close before dark, if you don't close, the government will put a seal on you the next day.
In a year, only during the Lantern Festival, when the whole people are in a state of carnival, the curfew can be lifted for a few days.
In addition to preventing theft and maintaining law and order, the purpose of the curfew also has another important purpose: to prevent the occurrence of assassination incidents, and to escape the escape of important criminals arrested by the government.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Zixu escaped at night from Chu State, which had no curfew. Because of this, successive dynasties began to pay attention to this system, and gradually improved and standardized it.
In the Song Dynasty, due to the long period of peace, the population showed explosive growth, and the commodity economy experienced unprecedented prosperity, and the night market prospered accordingly.
Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin ordered Kaifeng Mansion in the third year of Qiande: "The night market in the capital has not been prohibited since the third drum."
That is to say, the night market can run until the third shift, which shows that there is still a time limit for the opening of the night market in the early Northern Song Dynasty.
In the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, when various conditions and environments were gradually achieved, in order to meet the strong needs of citizens for material life and spiritual life, the time restrictions on night markets were gradually abolished.
In the famous "Tokyo Menghualu", there was a description of the bustling nightlife in Bianjing at that time: the night market was exhausted at the third watch, and reopened at the fifth watch, and it lasted all night.
In other words, the operators of the night market at that time were divided into shifts. Some worked in the first half of the night. When the goods were almost sold, they closed their stalls and went home. .
The cancellation of the curfew system has changed the business model and form of the past dynasties, greatly prolonging the trading time of commodities, stimulating the prosperity of the consumer market, and satisfying the citizens' desire for entertainment. The folk entertainment industry has a great opportunity for rapid development and has become an important part of the great development of Chinese culture.
In view of the unsettled domestic situation at that time, the Taizu established the Ming Dynasty, so the curfew system of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties was continued, and there were more clear regulations on this: at one o'clock and three o'clock, the evening drum was sounded, and pedestrians on the road must rush back to the city as soon as possible. At home, those who are at home are not allowed to go out again.
Those who walk on the street after the sound of the clapper on the second watch will be beaten forty times except for official business, illness, childbirth, and funeral.
The traffic ban will not be lifted until the morning bell rings at [-] o'clock in the morning.
Despite such strict rules and regulations, every city has thousands of watchmen patrolling at night with lanterns, but the situation of people's homes being thieves happened frequently.
Some of these watchman groups are thieves themselves, or have been bribed by thieves long ago. The nominally strict curfew system only restricts the personal freedom of the people in the end.
Compared with the previous dynasties, the Ming Dynasty's curfew system can be said to be the strictest. Not only will the city gates be closed, but also fences will be erected at the intersections of the streets. , are guarded by government servants.
The fence is open day and night.But according to the regulations, you can still have dinner outside, but you have to go back early, so you don't have to listen to music or sing.
Zhu Youjian's goal of cracking down on the whole country is actually the preliminary work for the abolition of the curfew system.
In order to make people's lives more colorful, and in order to speed up the circulation of goods and further promote the development of the handicraft industry, nightlife must appear.
Now the number of the middle class in Daming is growing steadily. Through a series of policies of releasing water and raising fish, the surplus money in the hands of the people has increased significantly. Should get changed.
Take the capital city as an example. The three consumer groups, the official class, the merchant class, and the craftsman class, are extremely large. Although they have a lot of wealth in their hands, due to the constraints of the system and other reasons, they have very little time for consumption, that is, Said, want to spend money and have no time to spend.
Take the artisan group as an example. Now the whole industry is implementing the piecework system. If you make one more piece, you will get an extra piece of money. Although there is a five-day rest system, for Chinese people who are used to hard work, rest It is a blessing that officials and gentlemen can enjoy, and a commoner in his own family still needs to rest?
How can you survive if you don't work?
In the minds of the vast majority of people, as long as they are given money, they don’t need to rest at all throughout the year, and they are done with their work.
If it weren't for the imperial court's mandatory on-duty time, I believe everyone would have worked until midnight before going home.
