Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As the New Year is approaching, the cold wind is howling, snowflakes are flying, the sky is freezing, and the ground is icy and snowy.

    However, no matter how cold the weather is, it can¡¯t stop people from going home to celebrate the New Year.

    Since the 20s, the Beijing Railway Station has entered the peak period of the annual Spring Festival. The population of the entire capital has exceeded 10 million a few years ago, with millions of people from all over the country.  Migrant workers work here in the capital.

    There will be two passenger peak periods during the Spring Festival and Qingming Festival.

    Needless to say, the Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival for Ming people. There is almost half a month of holiday before and after. Even if you are thousands of miles apart, you can go home and reunite with your family by train or car.

    As for the Qingming Festival, it is also extremely important to the Ming Dynasty people. It is a very important and sacred time to sweep tombs and worship ancestors during the Qingming Festival. There are also about 7 days of holiday every year.

    Compared to later generations, people in the Ming Dynasty had relatively more holidays during this period.

    Of course, this is also related to the traffic conditions when Liu Jin formulated the holidays. At that time, the traffic in Daming was far less convenient than it is now, so the holidays naturally took longer.

    More importantly, Liu Jin, who came from a later generation, felt that there were too few holidays in later generations. Even if there were statutory holidays, they often had to take extra time off, and pieced the weekends together, wishing that the working people could work 24 hours a day.  Working hours is the best.

    On the other hand, it is different in Europe and the United States. Almost one-third of the year, and even half of the time in some areas are on vacation, and the small days are very restricted.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????So out of the box, Liu Jin formulated the current holiday time after considering many factors. Basically, any holiday is a week.

    The Spring Festival lasts for half a month, the Qingming Festival lasts for one week, the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival each have five days, the Ming Dynasty National Day lasts for one week, and the Emperor and the Supreme Emperor¡¯s celebrations also last for five days. Calculated in this way, it is almost 36 days of holiday.

    It can be said that this is definitely a great conscience.

    During this period, the Ming Dynasty was rich and powerful, occupying almost all industries and fields around the world. This also determined that the Ming Dynasty's Xiu Mu Code could be well implemented.

    If your life is not good, even if you are told that you can rest, you will probably ask to work overtime. But if your living conditions are good, even if you are given double salary, you may not be willing to work overtime.

    The living standard of people in the Ming Dynasty is definitely far higher than that of future generations. Even if they live in the capital area like the Beijing-Tianjin area, the life of ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty can still be very good.

    Based on the current wage level in Gyeonggi Province, as long as both husband and wife are working, the combined income of the couple can reach 400 taels a year.

    In this era, this is definitely a considerable income.

    You must know that prices in the Ming Dynasty are extremely cheap. Food, meat, fish, beef, mutton, vegetables and fruits, etc. basically cost a few cents per catty, and 1 tael of silver is equal to 1,000 cents.

    If the couple works, they can easily raise seven or eight children, and they can also build a beautiful house in their hometown. Even if they want to buy a house in the capital, it is a bit unrealistic. The housing prices in the capital have indeed risen.  Too many.

    Nowadays, holidays in Beijing generally start at 6,000 taels of silver. The pressure to buy a house in Beijing is indeed very high.

    But people in the Ming Dynasty had many choices during this period, and they did not necessarily have to go to big cities. The Ming Dynasty had a vast territory, a sparse population, and a large number of vassal states and colonies overseas. Anyone who emigrated could live a good life.

    If 400 taels of silver are converted into the currency of future generations, its purchasing power should be more than 500,000. The couple can earn 500,000 yuan a year from working, and they can live a good life in future generations.

    And this is the income of ordinary people in Ming Dynasty. You can earn this kind of income by working as a waiter in a store, working in a factory, etc. If you have the opportunity or do hard work on a construction site, your income will be much higher.

    Having a prosperous life, coupled with a good vacation.

    During this period, the life happiness index of Ming people was very high.

    As soon as the Spring Festival comes, millions of people working in the capital are eager to return home. They wish they could go back to their homes immediately, see their children and parents, and brag to the people around them about their achievements in the capital.  Life.

    And every time it¡¯s the peak customer period, the train stationHe said with a smile, he used to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and now he is the cabinet minister and is still responsible for this matter, so he knows these things very well.

    The most likely accident in Daming is not trains, but cars and highways. Especially in winter, when the roads are slippery and there are many vehicles, accidents can easily happen.

    "Well, it is necessary to strictly enforce the local governments to carry out relevant de-icing, snow removal, emergency rescue and rescue work to ensure everyone's safety as much as possible."

    Liu Jin nodded solemnly, and then gave an order.

    "yes!"

    Zhong Fan also quickly replied solemnly.

    At this moment, in a community in Beijing, Wang Erzhu and Li Erxiu were also preparing to go home for the New Year, and this time, they chose to drive home.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
