travel through the past to be emperor

Chapter 79
Zhao Fei's vigorous arrest greatly shocked some restless people in the court, so that when Zhao Fei issued the decree, he felt that it seemed to be smoother than before.

As for the reasons for the arrest of certain people, the court naturally gave a very good explanation. The officials of the court were nothing more than corruption and bribery, while the two princes who were arrested did not mention it. They only said that they were sick and were recuperating .

This is a joke, but all the people in Chang'an City just laughed in their hearts. It's just that Prince Luo's father, Prince Luo, has personally come to Chang'an to visit his sick son.

As for those officials who made troubles, according to the investigation of the imperial court, it was because they lost their salaries for the next few decades in a certain casino that they took the risk and took the lead in making troubles.

As for the casino that threatened officials to make trouble, of course it was shut down. As for the fact that one of the former behind-the-scenes bosses of this casino was the sick Prince Gong, no one knew.

However, the closure of the casino also gained another benefit, that is, the money confiscated from the casino greatly improved the financial problems of the imperial court.

Among other things, first of all, the salaries owed to officials by the Ministry of Households were paid out as scheduled.

Sure enough, no one can get rich without windfall, and horses can't get fat without night grass. Zhao Fei secretly wondered if he took a chance and sealed up all the casinos in Chang'an City.

Will this collect all the money for the entire imperial court to use soldiers?

After all, gambling does not comply with the court regulations, it's just that everyone turned a blind eye to it before!

Zhao Fei mentioned this idea to Liu Yong, but Liu Yong didn't say a word, but simply told Zhao Fei who the people behind the eight super casinos currently entrenched in Chang'an were.

Of course, now there are not eight but seven, and one of them has been sealed up by Zhao Fei.

After Zhao Fei heard the background of these large casinos, he also stopped thinking about sealing up the casinos.

The behind-the-scenes bosses of the casino are all so-called big shots.

As the emperor, he could dispose of one or two big shots at will, but he couldn't offend all the big shots.

And Zhao Fei, who is from the future, also thinks that in the future, the service industry will create the most value and promote economic development. The service industry will drive employment and currency circulation.

Putting money in the warehouse can't produce any value except for bad luck. Only by letting the money flow can the money continue to make money.

In this era when entertainment facilities are basically limited to the casino Qinlou, the development of the service industry is really not easy.

However, although Zhao Fei extinguished the thought of sealing up all the casinos in Chang'an, he raised other thoughts. With his way of thinking beyond an era, he can completely become an entertainment tycoon in this era.

Thinking of the scene surrounded by the beauties of the entertainment tycoons of later generations, Zhao Fei only felt motivated.

In addition to confiscating the money obtained from the casino to solve the problem of the court's wage arrears, Zhao Fei's actions this time also gained a good impression among the common people in Chang'an City and even the whole world.

Zhao Fei went out for a walk, everyone was talking, our emperor is quite wise, this time he caught a few big corrupt officials, which shows that His Majesty is very concerned about the suffering of our people.

This is another unexpected result. I didn't expect that my actions would make the people have such a good impression of me because of the attachment of several six ministers.

Awe can make others fear you, while affection can make others help you.

As the emperor, wherever Zhao Fei went, a large group of people would kneel on the ground to greet him and report on his work. This awe is definitely full, but it is very difficult to say that the people have a good impression of the emperor and agree with him.

This time Zhao Fei executed several court officials, which made the common people recognize Zhao Fei. If Zhao Fei was an emperor in the eyes of the common people before, Zhao Fei is now a respected person in the eyes of the common people. Honorable Emperor.

People who only know a little bit about the inside story know that Zhao Fei is definitely not trying to punish corrupt officials for the sake of the people, he is just doing it for money!
Faint Lord, Great Faint Lord!
This is what many officials in the imperial court called Zhao Fei in private. After seeing Zhao Fei's methods, many officials paid a lot of money to find out what Zhao Fei was going to do this time.

To inquire about the leader's news, one must naturally seek out the people around the leader.

People like Anping, Chu Xuan and others took advantage of Dongfeng and made a lot of money, but Zhao Fei made the most money, and even Zhao Fei asked Anping to blackmail them.

I also want you to tighten your belts, remembering the bitterness and thinking about the sweetness!
To achieve great things, one must first toil one's will, toil one's muscles and bones, starve one's body, and chaotic one's actions. This is what the ancient sages said.

You are all scholars, so you naturally know that what the sage said makes sense.

I also do this to cultivate you, and you must understand my hard work.

What made Qin Hui and others more happy was that when the news of Zhao Fei's arrest reached the Ribu State Guesthouse, Amit directly agreed to most of the terms agreed upon by the Six Departments. He looked like he wouldn't let go.

All kinds of surprises made Zhao Fei feel that he was quite wise.

The city of Chang'an was full of turmoil, and the government and the public in Chang'an City were dazzled by the current affairs, and some non-famous street politicians were even swollen by the news from the court.

But after all, politics is far away from the lives of ordinary people. Chang'an quickly got out of these current affairs, and all the people are busy with the Lantern Festival held four times a year.

You said that viewing lanterns should not be held once a year, why is it held four times a year?

I'm sorry, I don't know, it may be that the nonsense guy made a mistake, or it may be the custom of this place.

Let's not pay attention to these small details, we just need to know that the whole Chang'an is discussing the lantern viewing.

The Lantern Festival was held four times a year in the Song Dynasty. It is said that it was once a long time ago. Later, one of Zhao Fei's ancestors liked to watch lights, so it became twice a year, and finally became four times a year.

Every time the lantern viewing is very lively, the whole Chang'an city participates collectively, and every household will come up with their own special lamps for people to watch.

Even families compete with each other to see whose lights are more beautiful, fashionable and trendy. It would be quite embarrassing to be compared with their neighbors.

You must know that it is not just the natives of Chang'an City who are looking at the lights, there are many people within a thousand miles of Chang'an City who will come here admiringly.

This season's lantern viewing has long been scheduled for the time of the mid-heaven in the fifth month of this month, which is when the moon rises tonight.

In the Military Aircraft Department, Zhao Fei was quickly reviewing the memorials. He was reading the memorials faster and faster.

"Your Majesty, this is the relevant plan for watching the lanterns tonight." Qin Hui presented a memorial to Zhao Fei, then stood aside and waited for Zhao Fei to read it.

Zhao Fei took the memorial, glanced at it quickly, and said: "These are old rules, you can do as you please, just be careful, safety is the first priority."

The lamp is beautiful. In this era without electric lights, its core can only be flames.

The so-called fire and water are ruthless. Ever since some unintentional guy burned down a quarter of Chang'an City many years ago, the court has made sufficient preparations every time it watches the lanterns, and has made various plans and first aid measures. It can't be that the fire in Chang'an happened. Zhao Fei also reviewed a fire prevention plan a few days ago.

Because of the fire, the imperial court once discussed whether to cancel the viewing of lanterns, but the household department said that every time the viewing of lanterns, the imperial court would make a lot of money, and when the treasury was greatly enriched, the imperial court gave up this idea and strongly supported it start this activity.

Zhao Fei is also very used to watching lanterns. Of course he is not interested in lanterns, he is only interested in people.

Now he just wants to quickly complete today's memorial task, and then go to the streets of Chang'an City to watch the copy of the lantern.

"By the way, is there anything I want to do?" Zhao Fei suddenly thought of what the emperor would do to 'have fun with the people' when watching movies and TV dramas, and wondered if there was such a custom in this place.

Qin Hui glanced at Zhao Fei strangely, and said honestly: "As far as I know, in the past, when watching the lanterns, His Majesty needed to stand on the palace wall to show that he had fun with the people, but since the first emperor ascended the throne, this The activity will be abolished, if His Majesty needs to restart this activity, I will draw up a plan."

Need not?

That's great, but I don't have time to show my face. Compared with the delicate and beautiful girls, what's the point of such formalistic activities.

Immediately Zhao Fei nodded quickly, and said: "Then follow the rules of the late emperor at that time. After all, I am the son of the late emperor, and the rules of the late emperor cannot be broken."

"I would like to obey the holy order!" Qin Hui said with a bow, and then took Zhao Fei's approved lantern viewing plan and ordered people to prepare for implementation.

Zhao Fei quickly finished reviewing the last memorial, stretched his waist, and was about to leave work, but occasionally he saw that Liu Yong seemed to have something to say, so he walked up to Liu Yong and said, "Is there anything Liu Aiqing wants to tell me?" .”

"Your Majesty." Liu Yong pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty remembers that you asked me to investigate Amit's matter."

"Well, remember, I asked you to send someone to keep an eye on him." Zhao Fei nodded, and asked absent-mindedly, "What's wrong with him, but is there any change?"

"That's not true. It's just that I found that many prairie people have sneaked into Chang'an City recently." Liu Yong said with some concern: "I'm worried that these prairie people will cause trouble at the lantern festival."

"Well, your worry is justified." Zhao Fei raised his brows and said, "In this way, if you bring five hundred soldiers, as soon as you find that these people have a tendency to make trouble, you can directly arrest them, and I will send Jin Yiwei to assist you .”

After arranging a few more matters, Zhao Fei bid farewell to the ministers with Anping.

Although Zhao Fei was very busy, he still remembered that today he had an appointment with Tofu Xishi, if they meet each other by fate, they will be together forever.

With Jin Yiwei who is watching Liu Ruyun 24 hours a day, can the two miss each other?
