Chapter 80.1

The chefs had made a name for themselves at the culinary conference, and with the rewards from Lin Beifan, they had both fame and fortune. Naturally, they considered expanding their businesses.

Consequently, numerous gourmet shops sprouted up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Business boomed with a broad and abundant source of wealth flowing in.

After all, these were delicacies that had made it into the grand food festival, delicacies that His Majesty himself had approved!

Some of these gourmet dishes had even been graced with names bestowed by His Majesty!

Who wouldnt want to try something that even the Emperor had endorsed?

As a result, business naturally picked up speed, and long lines formed in front of many shops.

Many onlookers were envious; this was clearly a visible and attractive road to riches!

As long as one could make it into the grand food festival and gain the Emperors approval, they could open their doors for business and make a fortune.

If one performs even better, they might gain His Majestys favor and be summoned to the palace to take up an official post.

Everyone secretly made up their mind, rubbing their hands in anticipation, determined to participate in next years gourmet festival!

The food shops gathered a huge amount of popularity, with people coming and going every day in search of delicacies. After eating at one place, they would try another and then casually stroll through the streets, enlivening the entire market with a festive atmosphere, bustling and full of life.

Your Majesty, the chefs who made a name for themselves at the gourmet festival have, without prior agreement, set up shops on North Capital Street, creating a food street that has attracted a large crowd! Now, North Capital Street is bustling and thriving with noise and excitement!

This was no small achievement, and the opportunistic and enterprising Governor of the capital city immediately sought to claim credit from Lin Beifan.

Lin Beifans face lit up with great pleasure: Minister, you have done very well, I am extremely satisfied! When is the food street most lively? I will make time to join in the fun and share the joy with the people!

The Governor of the capital city hastily said, Your Majesty, the city is most lively during the hour of You () (17:00~19:00)!

The hour of You, that seems to be when everyone finishes work and heads home!

Your Majesty is absolutely right!

The Governor of the capital city said with a smile: Thats precisely when the common people finish their work, go home, and have dinner! However, the streets become less crowded once the curfew begins.

Lin Beifan waved his hand grandly: This is too rushed. Lets just lift the curfew so that everyone can also enjoy themselves and do business at night!

The Governor of the capital city was shocked: Lift the curfew? This could lead to security issues, Your Majesty, please reconsider!

History has proven that trouble is more likely to occur at night, especially when there are crowds.

Particularly in this martial arts world, many people possess martial arts skills, and once they start drinking and go crazy, they are unstoppable.

Therefore, many countries, for the sake of convenient management, often take a one-size-fits-all approach and implement curfews.

At night, if you are still wandering the streets, at the very least you might be persuaded to go back home, and at the worst, you could be thrown into jail for a few days.

Lin Beifan smiled calmly and said, Indeed, there could be problems at night, but why not just hire more people to maintain public order? By doing so, we can also solve some employment issuesits a win-win situation!

Yet, he couldnt dismiss all the officials and enforce the policy.

After all, the state still needed its officials.

Without the support of these officials, his position as Emperor would be unstable.

Moreover, their influence was deeply entrenched and complexly intertwined; with his power alone, he couldnt possibly eradicate them.

At this moment, he envied Lin Beifan immensely.

Do whatever you want, without any hesitation, without any prohibitions, the entire court is dominated by his sole decree.

The entire nation abides by his wordthats what it looks like to be an Emperor.

Of course, there are still some bold Emperors who forcefully implement such policies.

Take, for example, the Peng Kingdom.

They held a grand culinary festival, gathering fine wines and delicacies from all over.

However, they were too stingythe entire budget for the festival was less than 20,000 taels of silver, which was quite meager.

Moreover, the rewards offered were too little, lacking appeal.

In the end, they couldnt even muster up 100 dishes.

After the gourmet festival ended, they finally managed to get the food street up and running.

However, to everyones surprise, the business was very poor, with very few customers.

Even after the curfew was lifted, the situation remained the same.

The other Emperors also ended up with a sloppy finish, becoming a joke.

Everyone couldnt understand it; they all held a gourmet festival, so why could the foolish Emperor make it work, but they couldnt?

Upon hearing this, Lin Beifan secretly smiled.

This is purely an example of imitating Dong Shis frown; without solving the fundamental issues, that approach is futile.

To stimulate the market and revitalize the economy through a gourmet food festival, you first need to ensure that the common people have money. Without money, the public cannot consume, and whatever you do will be in vain.

At this moment, a voice echoed in Lin Beifans mind.

Ding! Due to the increase in strength of the Great Xia Kingdom, the players power has been synchronously enhanced, awarding the Mysterious Sword Technique!

The Mysterious Sword Technique was created by a Sword God, comprising a total of 10 moves: One Sword to Fame, Unfathomably Mysterious, Renowned for a Moment

A set of incredibly profound sword techniques merged into Lin Beifans mind.

Another reward for swordsmanship, they really want to cultivate me into a sword immortal! Lin Beifan laughed.

He opened Empire Sandbox and saw that An Lushans recruitment had ended, with the total military strength increasing to 800,000, thereby boosting his national power as well.

This Emperor likes those with ambition the most, keep up the good work! The harder you work, the stronger I become!

Lin Beifan smiled slyly, his mind evidently brewing some plans.
