Similarly, due to underdeveloped transportation, the "Five, One" and "One" holidays are not suitable for the status quo.

After thinking about it, the only feasible thing at present is to have a day off every week, take a long holiday during the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.

There is another question involved, that is, how to calculate a week.

If the AD is adopted and in line with the West, this problem naturally does not exist. However, because there are the dynasties that were always implemented in the Ming Dynasty, the calendar also implements the "Datong Calendar", which is very different from the AD.

So, in this case, how to determine the starting point of the first week becomes a problem.

"Ling Bin's discussion is very good. Officials are diligent in political affairs, and they cannot always keep their strings. So-called "single and single" is right. Given that it is a wartime period and the affairs are heavy, it is too early to talk about rest and recuperation, we can only briefly change the Washing Zu system. 1. From the first day of the first lunar month next year, every seven days is a week, and the seventh day of each week is the Washing Day; 2. The Spring Festival is a festival for families to reunite. The Washing Day of the Zu system will not change for ten days, but the start and end time will be changed to New Year's Eve to the ninth day of the next year; 3. The Mid-Autumn Festival will be used for three days; 4. The Washing Day of each yamen should keep the staff on the rotation, and the government will not delay the government affairs."

After Zhu Youlang's orders came to an end, the ministers were immediately infuriated. Even Chen Bangyan did not expect that his memorial would be taken so seriously by the emperor.

The holiday of more than fifty days of bathing for more than a year is naturally a blessing for officials, but will it delay political affairs?

"Your Majesty, I think that too much bathing day will easily cause officials to become lazy and will inevitably delay political affairs. Can you change one day a week to one day a month? Even so, it is more than twenty days more than the previous example." Wu Bing expressed his objection first.

"Your Majesty, I think what Lord Wu said is very true. The examples can be changed, but they should not be too fast." Lu Daqi came out of duty to support Wu Bing's opinion.

"Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate. If there is naturally nothing to do in peace, the army can also implement the system of washing and bathing. But as Your Majesty said, now is the time of war. If local officials wash bathing too much, will it be unfair to the officers and soldiers fighting on the front line? Is it unfavorable to the morale of the army? I hope your Majesty thinks twice." As the Minister of War, Chen Zizhuang first thought about the military affairs.

As soon as Chen Zizhuang said this, Zhu Youlang immediately understood that he had thought a little wrong: "Yes, why did you forget the army? Oh, we fought bloody battles on the front line, and the officials behind you are good. It's too unfair to have such a long vacation for more than a year. If you are not fair, resentment will arise, which will inevitably affect the combat effectiveness of the army."

It seems that reform cannot be taken too much, as it can easily cause an egg to be pulled if it takes a big step.

It's because I didn't think it through.

What should I do? The emperor has a golden word and a beautiful word. Once he speaks, his power cannot be taken back. Will it have any impact on his prestige?

As soon as this idea came out, Zhu Youlang immediately denied it.

As an emperor, you can make mistakes, and knowing the mistakes can correct them is a good emperor. If you know that they are wrong and insist on promoting them in order to protect your face, it will not only cause serious consequences, but will also seriously damage your prestige.

It’s better to admit your own mistakes and put yourself into the image of a wise ruler who is humbly accepting advice.

"But first, Jingruo, Jisheng, what you three said is very true. I have thought it was a bit too much, and the implementation is indeed inappropriate at this time. Let's change the first one, remove the 'the seventh day of each week as a wash day', and the others remain unchanged."

Zhu Youlang resolutely denied himself.

"Your Majesty's wise!"

Sure enough, as soon as he said that, Wu Xian and others quickly bowed to praise the "Saintly Ming".

The ministers felt that the emperor was humbly accepting advice and had a good emperor, but Zhu Youlang regretted it so much that his intestines were blushed.

He made up his mind that he would never make a decision without considering maturity in the future. He had to solicit the opinions of the ministers from many parties and then make the final decision himself.

In this way, you can take care of the correctness of the policy and also appear to be clever.

I have always adhered to this style, but because I thought the matter of vacation was not a big deal and had the practices of later generations as a reference, I made a decision in a hurry.

It's really a damn boring!

...

At this dawn meeting, Qian Qianyi gained a lot, so he was in a state of great excitement. After the deposit, he returned to the study impatiently, and Qian Zhong followed in.

He simply wrote the deployment of the Ming army into intelligence and handed it to Qian Zhong, saying: "Qian Zhong, today's Dawn meeting will bring great gains. First, the emperor agreed to my plan; second, Chen Zizhuang mentioned that if the prince and Lord Hong approached Guangzhou and the situation was critical, they could flee to the sea. This was a bit negligent in the past and should be compensated in time; third, Lin Cha actually took the initiative to report, and I highly praised the master in his words, which was also a surprise."

"Master, are you saying... to instigate Lin Cha?" Qian Zhong asked.

"Yes! The prince's army is not a big danger to Zhu Youlang, because the city is high and thick, and there are powerful tools such as grenades. The military and civilians in the city are united and moral, so it is impossible to break the city in a short time. If it is delayed for a long time, it will inevitably change. The only way to deal with the inside and outside is to cooperate."

"Master, Mr. Hong should have made some arrangements for this long ago. It was just because he was afraid of involving the master, so he did not let the master participate, right?"

"There is this possibility. Even the beauty plan I offered is not moving now. I wonder if Lord Hong is doing this plan?"

"Master, I think your safety is the big deal. The less you participate, the less likely you are to be exposed."

"Well, I'm going to save myself from this master. But today, Lin Cha's surrender is obviously an opportunity. You know, Lin Cha is worried all day long, afraid that the emperor will bring up the old accounts one day. If I win him over and give him an olive branch, I don't believe that he will not contribute to my Qing Dynasty."

"Master, think twice. If Lin Cha refuses to apply, wouldn't your identity be exposed?"

"It's okay, I thought about it carefully. First of all, Lin Cha was very unsatisfied and urgently needed to change the status quo; secondly, he was not very loyal to Zhu Youlang, otherwise the 'support of the new lord' would not happen, and he would not lose favor; thirdly, the prince's army was not going south, and when Guangzhou was in danger, everyone was in danger, they would definitely find a way out for themselves. Don't look at the people in the court that they must be loyal to the emperor, how many loyal ministers can there be when the real disaster comes? The thought of being an official is not better than that of the master. Another point is that I have to work hard and fight wits and courage with the Yongli monarch and ministers. Seeing that success is imminent, I don't want my hard work to be over."

"So, it is time to instigate Lin Cha at this time."

"Master, that's it, you should also be careful and test him first. If his reaction is wrong, don't take any risks."

“That’s natural.”
