Your servant has heard that the night markets in Kaifeng are flourishing, leading to the rise of local merchants and a welcome increase in commercial tax revenue.
In these trying times when the treasury is empty, the night market is exactly the breakthrough we seek. To ignore such a solution would be as foolish as looking far for what is right at hand.
Therefore, your servant proposes that another market be established outside the city. The banks of Jinming Pool would be ideal. I await Your Majesty's decree.
