There is nothing good about this year¡¯s Spring Festival.
Because of the great changes last year, Emperor Jinghe deliberately reduced the scale of the New Year's banquet.
Fortunately, the various rewards from the Queen Mother were not lost, which made all the clan members and nobles heave a sigh of relief.
This year, officials from the six ministries and so on were also accepted by the Queen Mother. After being owed their salaries for several months, they finally had money to take home for the New Year.
Of course, there are still a small number of people here who are waiting for the rice to be cooked. Most people either have large assets or have a surplus of food.
¡°After all, all those who are officials have nothing to do with their lives, and the common people don¡¯t know what it¡¯s like to be miserable.
Dakang¡¯s Spring Festival holiday follows the old system of the previous dynasty. The sealing begins after the off year, and the work does not start until the Lantern Festival, that is, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
"But these are just officials. The common people still have to be busy, and those who do business still have to do business.
Some businesses, just like modern times, rely on the Spring Festival to make money.
Liu Mingqi himself has two important things.
The first one is of course to attend Liu Mingjing¡¯s wedding.
At the New Year's banquet, Emperor Jinghe re-canonized the two princes in one breath - Prince Yu was promoted to Prince De, and Prince Yi was promoted to Prince Wu.
From then on, there were three princes among the next generation of princes in Dakang.
In addition, Liu Mingyou, the second son of King Su, was promoted to King of Yan County because of his performance in Ningyuan City.
Therefore, the scale of the wedding of Liu Mingjing, the newly minted King Wu, was simply beyond imagination. It was held for three days and three nights at a flowing banquet in the inner city.
Not to mention that the Queen, who never left the palace, also came to Prince Wu's Mansion with Emperor Jinghe to bless them.
Liu Mingjing himself is also "miserable".
Knowing that he would follow Liu Mingqi to the grassland after the first month of the year, and then go to the southwest to train troops, the Yiwang couple also gave him five girls from their own families as concubines.
During the Chinese New Year, Liu Mingjing¡¯s most important job every day is to work on his six wives.
Liu Mingqi¡¯s second thing is actually similar to him.
The young man took Miss Qiaolian and Miss Luling into his concubines and officially promoted their status.
The two young ladies never thought that one day they would become the prince's concubines.
"And relying on their status in the palace, as long as they can give birth to children, they will sooner or later become the prince's concubines, their sons can become dukes, and their daughters can become county lords.
Thinking about the weak Prince Yu's Mansion two years ago, and then thinking about the Prince Yu's Mansion that is now in full swing, the two young ladies seemed to be dreaming.
It¡¯s not just them.
Everyone in Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion felt the same way.
Especially when Princess Yu lavished money again and gave them big red envelopes, everyone was even more excited.
An ordinary servant in Prince Yu's Mansion is rewarded with six hundred taels of silver, not to mention the stewards and supervisors who have their own duties.
¡¡
And this Spring Festival is also the most comfortable one for all Dakang people in recent years.
¡°Because there are no natural disasters this year, and the world is in ruins waiting to be renovated, all kinds of repairs and constructions are continuing. As long as the common people are not too lazy, they can all have work to do.
Many honest people can¡¯t help but pray. It would be great if the world was peaceful every day.
But that¡¯s certainly not the case.
Even in modern times, the United States and Great Britain are sowing discord all day long, doing all kinds of bad things, and making people uneasy.
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the first day of the dynasty, Emperor Jinghe issued several imperial edicts in succession.
"Zhou Zhixiao, Minister of the Ministry of War of Dakang, is highly respected for his filial piety and righteousness and will never return. He is actually my subordinate. However, he is old and frail, and has repeatedly requested to become an official and return to his hometown for retirement. I specially named Zhou Zhixiao as 'Fengwuhou' and rewarded him With a thousand taels of gold and a thousand acres of fertile land, he returned to his hometown in glory, and his father, mother, wife, and children each received a reward!"
"Liao Shicong, the Governor of the Northeast, is a man of uprightness, perseverance, and a will to serve the country to the death. He shined brilliantly in the defense of Jinzhou City. I am hereby promoting him to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War and Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion. I hope he will live up to my expectations and cherish my sincere heart." The world will become a model and capable minister for the great prosperity."
"Wang Hao, the governor of Liaoning, is loyal to his duties, cautious and heroic, and considerate of the people. He is of great use. Now he is promoted to the governor of Northeast China. I hope he will protect our Dakang border and ensure peace in the world."
"Qianniu Guardsmen Xiong Dabao and Zhang Qin are handsome, brave, and elegant. They made great contributions in the battle against Japan and Shiwei last year. Therefore, JinIt requires thirty to fifty thousand coins. If you give me one hundred thousand coins, it won¡¯t be much.
How many defensive cities are there like Dakang?
There are hundreds of seats, large and small!
So with this amount, if you can equip every defensive city within one year, that¡¯s pretty good.
It¡¯s not that they are unwilling to produce more wooden handle grenades.
On the one hand, the consumption of raw materials is very large, and it has fallen into a certain bottleneck.
The second one was because it required too many fine raw materials and was cumbersome to make, so it was delayed.
Last but not least, making wooden handle grenades is very dangerous!
Just in October, the wooden handle grenade workshop in Jiangnan exploded. The whole workshop was blown up, and more than 60 skilled workers were killed, including several members of Liu Mingqi's youth league.
This is also thanks to Liu Mingqi who asked them to spread out the work, instead of doing it in one yard, otherwise they would all be served in one pot.
The capital side did not escape. Once the black powder was ignited, although the wooden handle grenades did not explode directly, they also caused a series of explosions throughout the workshop.
¡°If the craftsmen hadn¡¯t had time to react and escape early, I¡¯m afraid all the hundreds of people here would have died.
This is still the most serious accident, and there are many safety hazards, large and small.
Therefore, the emphasis has always been on safety first. If you are cautious for the sake of safety, the speed cannot be increased.
After all, you can¡¯t produce it everywhere on a large scale.
The wooden handle grenade is already Dakang¡¯s top secret, and the formula and production method must not be allowed to be known to enemies outside.
When fixed defense fails to work, what do you think everyone should do?
This is just like in modern times, you have to set up camp for defense, but people bombard you with cannons outside.
"It turns out you're not looking for death, so what is it?"
This is a huge disaster for the Dakang army, and it is a disaster for the people of Dakang.
Therefore, Emperor Jinghe and his ministers took the most stringent measures to ensure that core secrets could not be leaked.
For this reason, we will not hesitate even if the production cannot be significantly increased.
This is also a very correct decision!
