Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment, and said to Zheng Yiguan with a smile: "This job is done, and I will transfer you to the Ministry of Revenue. Well, I intend to add a new institution to the Ministry of Revenue and need some capable officials."

"I am following the order." Zheng Yiguan bowed and said, "Let me rest assured. I will definitely do my job and make it satisfied."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "You have two brothers named Zhihu and Zhibao. Since you are used to the sea storm, you will go to the East China Sea Navy to practice first. After the Naval Academy is built, you will go to further study."

Zheng Yiguan bowed to thank him again, "I thank you for your kindness."

"Zheng Qing has retreated." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and leaned into the chair lazily.

"I'm asking for my leave." Zheng Zhilong bowed and retreated.

Walking out of the palace, Zheng Zhilong gradually straightened his chest.

Although it is his major to be a general translator in Siyisi, who can make him more birds singing? But this is not what he wants, and there are too few opportunities for promotion.

Who doesn’t want to be an official or a high-ranking official? It is said that Zheng Zhilong in history was a mischievous official, but this is also a common human nature, and nowadays are no exception.

It was not so difficult to guess the emperor's emphasis on business. Li Dan, Yan Siqi, Wu Dazhang and others made money and had an official position.

In other words, the new institutions that the Ministry of Revenue will definitely be related to business, and will definitely receive continuous attention from Long Live, just like the newly built martial arts, newly built sects, and newly built new schools this year.

What does this mean? It means that you can be promoted by working in this new institution and doing your best.

As long as you give a certain opportunity, you still worry about not being able to rise step by step, and you still worry about not being able to shine your ancestors and show your reputation?

Moreover, Wansui is pretty good to me. It is said that Jane Zai Dixin has had some trouble, but arranging his own brothers means that he doesn’t hate me!

Zheng Zhilong breathed the cold air, and felt even more energetic and bright future.

The imperial study room was quiet, Zhu Youxiao gently stroked his forehead and re-crushed the government affairs to be handled. He felt that nothing was important and could be loose.

It’s the New Year, and I’m really looking forward to the first Spring Festival that I traveled through time. Zhu Youxiao took the documents casually and looked at the expenses of the Spring Festival reported by the inner government.

Whether it is folk or royal, the Spring Festival is grand and celebrated. In ancient times, the Spring Festival was also known as New Year's Day, and was known as the three major festivals, together with the Winter Solstice and the Holy Day of the Birthday (the emperor's birthday).

From the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month to celebrate the Kitchen God, the palace began to prepare for the New Year. The palace family and eunuchs began to wear gourd and python robes, and all steamed snacks and stored meat, which would cost 10 to 20 days.

From this day to the 17th day of the first lunar month, according to the convention, fireworks are set off in front of the Qianqing Palace every day. Only when there is strong wind, it will stop for a long time, or for a day.

At the same time, Aoshan lanterns will be set up in the palace to set up fireworks. The emperor would go to see it every day, and when the saint arrives, fireworks will be set; when the emperor returns to the bedroom, fireworks will be set up.

The words show that Wuzong likes to play very much. During his reign, the Aoshan lantern was the most spectacular. All the candles in the palace were used up. They had to go outside the palace to purchase. The scene was very spectacular.

On the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, the palace began to become busier, "plant peach talisman boards next to the door, general charcoal, and door gods", "hang the lucky gods, ghost judges, Zhong Kui and other paintings indoors", "hang eight gold and silver treasures, ephedra prayer wheels, or make yellow coins like dragons", "sedge sesame straws in the eaves and pavilions, and burn cypress branches and firewood in the courtyard, called "school".

On this day, the emperor would also issue an order to order the nobles and relatives to go to the imperial tombs in Changping to worship.

The emperor would also hold a grand "Sacrificial Ceremony" ceremony in the Taimiao and Shimiao. The so-called "Sacrificial Ceremony" means enshrining the tablets of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty in the Taimiao and holding a joint sacrifice.

On New Year's Day, a grand dynasty meeting will be held. First, all officials will pay tribute to the emperor and present gifts. Then the emperor will reward all officials, including rewarding gold and silver, and holding a banquet.

However, after Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, the gift of the banquet turned into a red envelope, which was said to be "the emperor ordered the banquet to be exempted from the banquet and given money for money."

But Zhu Youxiao resumed the New Year's Day banquet. It was not because he had too much money, but because he had strong political purposes.

For New Year’s gatherings, this is not about how good food and drink is, but about the atmosphere. It is great to strengthen contact with officials, increase cohesion, and inspire the desire to serve the emperor!

You know, it is quite honorable and decent to be able to attend a palace banquet. You can still brag about it with your children and grandchildren when you retire and go home.

As the saying goes, "If you have to eat for ten years, it is still difficult to repay your kindness with me for a meal." This is the case in feudal society. Well, if you have to attend a state banquet in the future, it will be enough for you to brag for the rest of your life.

Zhu Youxiao has seen the menu and standards of the court banquet, and thought it was just a big scene. The meal was not rich, and there were no delicacies, but it was definitely no problem to eat enough.

But this is written in the "Ming Dynasty Collection". Just do it and you can save some money!

The scene is big and exquisite. What you need is to demonstrate the majesty of the royal family and reflect the spirit of respecting heaven and law ancestors.

Zhu Youxiao put down the documents, got up and put on a leather robe, and left the imperial study.

The cold air makes people feel refreshed. The snow on the ground has been cleaned up. Only by looking up can you see the white snow hanging on the branches of the trees.

"Go to Changchun Palace." Zhu Youxiao suddenly thought of Zhang Yu'er and gave an order to the palace servant.

The palace people quickly prepared and soon surrounded the emperor and drove away.

……………………

Changchun Palace.

Zhang Yuer saw her younger sister coming back from school and couldn't help but ask, "There will be a holiday from today?"

Zhang Wan'er replied: "Yes, it's until the 25th day of the first lunar month!"

As he said that, the little girl came to the sister and said with a smile: "Sister, I want two strifes, let the palace servant make one for me!"

Two squads? What? Zhang Yuer looked at her little sister in confusion.

Zhang Wan'er reached out and gestured and explained: "It's just such a big white cloth with two red channels on it that can be worn on the arms."

"What's the use of wearing that kind of thing?" Zhang Yuer touched the little sister's head and said, "Is it made by Shaoyingyuan?"

Zhang Wan'er nodded repeatedly and said, "The two bars are the squad leader, and the three bars are the squad leader, which is so majestic."

Oh, Zhang Yuer smiled with her lips, reached out to touch her little sister's face, and asked, "It's not from the college, what's the point of wearing it? Study hard and perform well, let's try to get three squads."

Zhang Wan'er pouted her little mouth and lowered her head and said nothing.

Seeing the girl's little appearance, Zhang Yu'er couldn't help but laugh a few times and said, "It's the New Year, I'm going to take you home and come to the palace after the New Year."

Zhang Wan'er immediately raised her head, blinked her eyes, and asked tentatively: "I'll let my mother go back, can I accompany my sister?"

With a smile on his lips, Zhang Wan'er smiled so pleasantly, "Sister is so lonely alone. I'll just be a little palace maid. Would it be good to accompany her?"
