Under the Jinyiwei's efforts to crack down on the crackdown, the public security situation in various parts of the Ming Dynasty reached an unprecedented level of good. Not only are there any vicious incidents of murder and robbery, but even public security cases such as thieves and cheating are difficult to find.

In mid-spring of last year, according to Zhu Youjian's order, after a few years, the Jinyiwei launched the second purification operation across the country, and launched an indiscriminate blow to the green-skinned villains and lazy liars in various towns and villages.

Zhu Youjian’s will is: I would rather kill the wrong one than let it go.

With the cooperation of the yamen officers who are familiar with the local conditions in the government, any person with poor reputation who is usually not famous, regardless of whether you are breaking the law or wandering around, will be put on the ground by the Jinyi School Captain, and then tied up with a rope and taken away and put in prison. Those who dare to escape or resist will be killed on the spot, or will be beheaded in public after being caught.

More than half a year later, in addition to the death row prisoners who needed to be executed by Qiu Hou, prisoners in prisons across the country were escorted to Quanzhou Prefecture one after another, and then sent to Nanya Province by boat in batches. They will meet with the first batch of crackdown targets sent several years ago and continue to develop this new continent. As for whether they will live and how long they will live, it depends on their own fortune and ability.

After these two crackdowns, the evil people on the market who made ordinary people hate and fear were almost wiped out. They did not pick up the road and did not close their doors at night. They had become the norm for people in most parts of the Ming Dynasty, and the prisoners of government officials in various places had no money to make extra money.

In view of this good situation, after discussing with the cabinet ministers, Zhu Youjian decided to abolish the curfew system implemented in China since the former Song Dynasty, further enhance the prosperity of the commodity market and give the people more sense of happiness and gain.

The curfew order has existed since ancient times. In "The Literature of Zhou: Qiu Guan Si Kou", there was a position of "Si Xiao Family" to be responsible for night bans. With the change of dynasties, the curfew system has become increasingly strict and refined, and this system has continued until the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Living in that era, if you want to meet one or two best friends, your bad friend finds a romantic restaurant for dinner, drink some wine, chat, and then use the alcohol to yell and have a pair of wine and sing. Life is heroic, then you can save money. The hotel must be closed before dark. If you don’t close the door, the government will post a seal on you the next day.

During the year, only during the Lantern Festival, when the whole nation is carnival, the curfew can be lifted for a few days.

In addition to preventing theft and maintaining public order, the purpose of the curfew also has an important purpose: to prevent the occurrence of assassination incidents and to escape important criminals hunted by the government.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Zixu fled at night without the curfew. It is precisely because of this that all dynasties began to pay attention to this system and gradually improved and regulated it.

By the Song Dynasty, due to the long-term prosperity of the population, the commodity economy showed unprecedented prosperity, and the night market flourished.

In the third year of Qiande, Emperor Taizu of Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin ordered Kaifeng Prefecture: "It is not allowed to be banned since the night market in the capital to the Sangu."

In other words, the night market can be operated until the third update, which shows that there are still time restrictions on the opening of night markets in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, when various conditions and environments were gradually reached, in order to meet the strong demands of citizens for material and spiritual life, the time limits on night markets were gradually abolished.

In the famous "Dream of Tokyo" there was a description of the prosperous nightlife of Bianjing at that time: the night market was over in the third day, and the fifth day was opened again, and it was endless all night.

In other words, the operators of the night market at that time were in shifts, and some were in the first half of the night. When the goods were sold, they closed the stall and went home. Then the second wave was continued immediately, and they did not give up until dawn.

The abolition of the curfew system has changed the business model and form over the years, greatly extended the commodity trading time, stimulated the prosperity of the consumer market, and satisfied the citizens' desire for entertainment. The private entertainment industry, which has risen with the prosperity of the citizens, has a great opportunity for long-term development and has become an important part of the great development of Chinese culture.

The harm of Taizu's establishment of the Ming Dynasty was that due to the unstable domestic situation at that time, the curfew system of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was continued, and there were more clear regulations on this: the evening drum was ringing at one o'clock, and pedestrians on the road must rush home as soon as possible, while those at home are not allowed to go out again.

Those who walk on the street after the second update will be beaten forty years except for official duties, illness, childbirth, and funerals.

The ban on passage must be opened until the morning bell rings at 5:00 p.m.

Despite such strict rules and regulations, and every city has thousands of anti-bouncers patrolling with lanterns at night, there are frequent cases of thieves in people's homes.

Among these anti-buffs, some of them are thieves, or have been bribed by thieves for a long time. The nominally severe curfew system in the end only restricts the people's personal freedom.

The Ming Dynasty's curfew system was the most severe than in previous dynasties. Not only would the city gate be closed, but fences were also blocked at the intersections of streets and intersections. There were "card rooms" at the gates, which were similar to modern guardhouses, and were guarded by the government's yamen runners.

The fence opens and closes at night. However, according to regulations, you can still eat this supper outside, but you have to go back early, listen to music, sing or something.

Zhu Youjian’s purpose of launching a nationwide crackdown is actually the preliminary work to abolish the curfew system.

In order to make people's lives more colorful, to accelerate the circulation of goods and further promote the great development of handicrafts, nightlife must be unveiled.

The number of middle class in the Ming Dynasty is growing steadily. Through a series of policies to release water and raise fish, the remaining money in the hands of the people has increased significantly. Under this situation, the traditional lifestyle of working from sunrise to sunset should also be changed.

Take the capital for example, the official class, business class, and craftsman class, and the three consumer groups are extremely large. Although they have a lot of wealth in their hands, due to the restrictions of the system and other reasons, they have very little consumption time, which means that they have no time to spend money.

Take the craftsman group as an example. Now the whole industry is implementing a piece-based system. If you make one more, you will get an extra portion of money. Although there is a five-day rest system, for the hardworking Chinese, rest is a blessing that only officials can enjoy. Can a commoner still need rest?

There is no way to live, but there is no way to work?

In the minds of most people, as long as they give money, they don’t need to rest all year round, and they’ll be done.
