Two hundred and forty-six holidays 1
...
Tuoba Hongye's words aroused many people's doubts, because everyone understands that even a famous general like Tuoba Yuhai, it is absolutely impossible for him to escape from the sky, because reinforcements must have explained that he will help him.
Tuoba Yuhai said lightly: "Report to the Holy Emperor, this is thanks to His Highness the Fourth Prince. If he hadn't made a quick decision to ask Liu Ce for help from Xuanwu Pass, the Holy Emperor would probably have only the body of his minister!"
Tuoba Hongye frowned: "What did you say? Did Liu Ce send troops to rescue you?"
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was shocked. Of course, their focus was different from Tuoba Hongye. What shocked them was that the people in the Central Plains dared to go out of the frontier? This was simply a huge joke.
However, the person who said this was Tuoba Yuhai. Everyone knew Tuoba Yuhai's temperament very well and never joked that everyone would never joke. He said that Liu Ce would definitely not be wrong if he sent troops, let alone the Holy Emperor's most optimistic son Tuoba Si was involved, so there would be even more mistakes.
Maybe this is a fantasy joke, but it just happened, how incredible.
Tuoba Hongye's face became very ugly, and he couldn't help but snorted coldly: "This Liu Ce really made me look at him with admiration..."
Tuoba Yuhai replied: "Indeed, I was surrounded by Shenggang Fort for 17 days, but the nearby embroidered red banners were not saved. There were no signs of sending troops from the rest of the Mengluo tribes.
If it weren't for Liu Cenian and his alliance sending troops to rescue him, I would have already made up the idea of dying with the rebels..."
Tuoba Yuhai's words were already warning Tuoba Hongye. He knew very well why this happened. If it weren't for the order of the royal court, how could the Mengluo tribes have no movement and watched him die and ignore him.
Tuoba Hongye was stunned for a moment and said to Tuoba Yuhai: "Brother, it's all my negligence. I really can't confirm that it's my brother in Shenggang Castle. Don't worry, I will definitely compensate you for your fault!"
Tuoba Yuhai shook his head and said, "The Holy Emperor, it's all over, and I'm safe and sound. The five Murong tribes, led by the head, are waiting outside the palace to come. Please ask the Holy Emperor to make arbitrary decision..."
"I will definitely not spare these ruthless ministers!" Tuoba Hongye said angrily, "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely give you a reasonable explanation!"
Tuoba Yuhai bowed and said, "Saint Emperor, I am a little tired and want to take a good rest. I also ask the Holy Emperor to allow me to retreat first."
Tuoba Hongye nodded and said, "It should be true that I am exhausted both physically and mentally. I should have a rest. I will hold a banquet to suppress you in the evening. I will send someone to invite me to the banquet at that time!"
Tuoba Yuhai's jaw eyes said, "That's the minister who took his leave first!"
After talking, Tuoba Yuhai turned around and strode out of the palace gate.
Looking at Tuoba Yuhai's departure, Tuoba Hongye's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed that his son Tuoba Si failed to understand the intention, and at the same time he felt a little uneasy about Liu Ce's bold and arbitrary actions.
You should know that no one dared to go out of the Great Zhou area for decades. Liu Ce's action undoubtedly broke this rule. What if the army in the Central Plains no longer fears the grassland and dares to face and communicate with the Mengluo army in the future?
Tuoba Hongye now wants to offend Liu Ce, but this is Tuoba Si's request for help. Liu Ce's move does not violate the alliance agreement. Logically speaking, he should be grateful to him.
Thinking of this, Tuoba Hongye felt a headache. He put this trouble behind his mind for the time being, continued to be compulsive and calm, and put his posture on the right and said majestic outside the palace gate:
"Take all the traitors to the hall. I want to interrogate them in person and ask them who gave them such courage!"
...
On the first day of December, Qianzhou Province...
"Mr. Military Governor, what do you mean? The situation outside the border is tense now. How can we let soldiers from all over the country take a holiday?"
In Weiyuan City, Han Kuang heard Liu Ce say that he would let the defenders in various places take a long vacation for half a month, and immediately objected urgently.
Liu Ce smiled and said, "Don't worry about the Han County Magistrate. Our military governor has visited military camps in various places recently and learned that the soldiers also felt homesick, so he let them go home to visit their relatives, and it is not bad to reunite with their families.
What's more, this military governor did not disband all the troops at once, but instead went home in batches. The left-behind troops were enough to deal with the situation outside the border. You can rest assured, nothing can happen..."
Seeing that Liu Ce was so confident, Han Kuang had to respond.
In fact, since Liu Ce returned from the Great Wall, he had such a plan. Not only did the soldiers have to arrange their vacations, but all the officials under his rule must also arrange them.
The holidays in the Great Zhou Dynasty were very painful. In addition to the date of the founding of the dynasty, the emperor's birthday, the Daughter's Day, the Bathing Festival, etc., there were almost no suitable system holidays for 14 days in the thirteen months of the year.
The only long holiday was when my father passed away, which was a "filial piety period" of three years. However, during this period, the court did not pay any salary, which completely tests whether the leavers had a wealth of savings and wealth...
Therefore, since the Far East, Liu Ce has slowly begun to change this old custom. He is very clear that soldiers and officials are human beings, not emotionally unemployed labor machines, and will only have no chance to breathe throughout the year. He must "combine work and rest" and give them a sufficient relaxed environment in terms of spiritual and material aspects.
Now, the soldier vacation system for seven provinces in the Far East has been clearly defined. It is common for soldiers to take one day off every six days of training and maintain a four-day holiday in January.
Secondly, in addition to the regular holidays of about fifty or sixty days this year, it also opens for about half a month to twenty days of family vacation in winter, so that soldiers can spend more time with their families and share the joy of family.
Of course, those who do not want to take a long vacation can also receive a compensation as a reward...
This series of measures quickly gained collective support from the Far East Army, and the morale in the army also increased. Now these holidays have been derived from officials from various provinces in the Far East, and the officials have been realized at the beginning of the year and will be unified in control, becoming a legal holiday that is not a statutory one.
The next step is to wait for the opportunity to promote it to all ordinary people in the Far East, and to completely popularize it to every inch of land under Liu Ce’s rule...
Due to the effectiveness of the newspaper, a series of policies in the Far East were quickly spread to the eight provinces of the North. To be honest, it would be impossible for the military and civilians in the North to be unenvious. They also sincerely hope that one day they will be like the Far East...
"I see that the military governor is scheduled to be on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, and 30% of the soldiers will be sent home to reunite with their relatives first. In this way, after the first lunar month, everyone will be able to cheer up. The military governor will arrange it. The military governor will order someone to send the orders..."
After Liu Ce spoke to Han Kuang in an undeniable tone, he strode away from the office. Han Kuang had no choice but to agree.
...
On the sixth day of December, Qianzhou Beiying...
"Little Lizi, it's going to be a holiday tomorrow? You're so 19 days off. I really envy you..."
"Brother Yingchun, do you want to have another son with your wife when you come home this time and go out to renew the incense? I am so envious..."
"Actually, I'm worried. How do you spend this ten-day holiday? Oh, what's wrong with eating and drinking in the military camp? What should I do when I get home..."
The first batch of vacation lists were issued yesterday. The soldiers in the entire military camp were of different shapes, but most of them were still very happy. After all, family affection is the most precious thing in the world.
Most of the soldiers in this Beijiao Camp have survived from last year's layoffs, and their quality is generally qualified...
"Quiet! Listen to me!"
After receiving a document, the general in charge of the battalion suddenly jumped onto the platform, picked up the bronze horn and shouted loudly.
After the noise of the schoolyard calmed down, the general cleared his throat and said, "All the people on this holiday, listen to the salary you just paid, go to the logistics department to exchange for the goods back home,
Don't worry, the logistics department's things are good and cheap, so you won't regret it. Of course, this is voluntary, and you can choose not to buy it..."
After the general finished speaking, the soldiers who were about to go home rushed to the logistics department camp to select the goods they had to go home.
After all, it is rare for soldiers to go home once a year, so they can’t go home empty-handed, right? Many people have saved up their salary for a year or several months to wait for today?
The official responsible for the logistics department distributing goods was still Xie Ping'an. He sat in front of a long table with great pride. He reached his hand on the stove next to bake it, and then picked up the tea and drank a few sips. Looking at the bustling crowd, he felt very comfortable...
"Ten kilograms of bacon, two porcelain jars of meat, one inch knife, two jars of wine. By the way, I also gave me fifty kilograms of cabbage, two bags of potatoes, three bags of flour, five cotton jackets, two packs of cloth, two packs of sugar, two kilograms of salt, three portions of maltose, and a bucket of vegetable oil..."
After it was a soldier's turn, he pointed at a pile of goods for sale very domineeringly. His posture made the soldiers around him amazed...
Xie Ping'an just glanced at him, then smiled and shook his head, and muttered: "I'm really bored. Men should take it as their mission to establish fame and not bow down for five dou of rice!"
Soon, the soldier's goods were filled with a truck. At the end of the checkout, he only settled two silver dollars and one hundred and twenty-five copper coins (Hanling Tongbao), which instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The supplies provided by the army are basically sold to sergeants at affordable or even lower prices, but they are only once a year, which is only sold when soldiers visit relatives in winter.
"Old Yang, you bought so many goods and went home. Could it be that you want to change your career and become a peddler?" A colleague who was good at having a good relationship with the soldier on weekdays said quipped.
"Get out..." Lao Yang carried a jar of wine onto the truck and cursed back, "I have been in the army for five years, and I have suffered a loss for four or five years in my family. How many of them will I compensate them for this time?"
The old Yang is named Yang Wu, who is only twenty-eight years old, but he is the father of three children.
"Let's go, see you again..."
After saying hello, Yang Wu pulled the truck and prepared to leave the camp.
There have been civilian mule and horse transport trucks and porters at the camp gate to hear that the camp is on holiday, waiting for business to come.
Horses in the army cannot be taken out of the camp privately, and the horses and forages were also a considerable investment. Therefore, these private transport teams spontaneously found business opportunities and found a job for their meals. The Military Governor's Office also opened a warehouse near major cities and villages at the right time for these transport teams to hoard goods and rest. The fees charged were also very low, and private transport teams could basically afford it.
Yang Wu came outside the camp and carefully selected a strong man who looked honest and honest. After negotiating the price with him, he unloaded the things in the car and loaded them onto the strong man's mule cart and transported them back to the warehouse for storage, and set off early tomorrow morning.
Yang Wu's home is about three days away from the military camp. Since the road has been repaired, it is expected to arrive at home faster than expected.
After receiving such a big deal, the strong man was also very happy. This trip could earn 200 Hanling Tongbao, which was very satisfying for him. As long as he could hold on to the time, it would be no problem to earn three or five trips like this.
At the same time, looking at the pile of goods on his mule cart, my eyes were filled with envy, and I sighed in my heart that the soldiers in the army were so rich.
