Chapter 334 The New Year is Coming
After reviewing memorials for the whole morning, Jing** was feeling a little tired.
Besides, looking at the time, it's almost time for lunch.
Now that Xiao Jingmo is here, he can have lunch with him.
After Xiao Jingmo entered the hall, he first bowed and greeted everyone in a proper manner.
Jing** smiled and waved at Xiao Jingmo, "No need to be polite, come here and let the royal grandfather take a look."
Xiao Jingmo stepped forward as he was told.
The more Jing** looked at his grandson Xiao Jingmo, the more he loved him.
Xiao Jingmo's appearance combines the advantages of Xiao Jingyi and Yun Fuling. Even at such a young age, it can be seen that he will be a handsome young man in the future.
Moreover, this child is not only good-looking, but also smart.
During the days when he entered the Imperial Study, Jing ** heard the university scholars who taught the princes and grandchildren praised Xiao Jingmo several times.
Despite his young age, he is already better than some of his older cousins.
Jing** is naturally proud to have such an outstanding grandson.
In addition to pride, I also feel a little relieved that there are successors.
Although everyone called him Wansui, Jing** knew in his heart that no one could live for ten thousand years.
Not to mention living for ten thousand years, throughout history, there has not been a single emperor who lived over a hundred years old.
Anyone who can live beyond seventy years old is considered to be very long-lived.
Jing** knew that one day he would pass away, and at that time, this vast empire would be handed over to his successor.
Jing** has been observing carefully for so many years, and the candidate he is most satisfied with is Xiao Jingyi.
It's not just because Xiao Jingyi is the son born to him by his most beloved woman, and his most beloved son.
Moreover, Xiao Jingyi has outstanding abilities and virtues and is worthy of this important task.
That supreme chair represents not only power, but also corresponding responsibility.
If one does not have the ability to match it and is not able to shoulder the responsibilities that the chair has given him, and instead just clings to the power in his hands, it will undoubtedly be a disaster.
It is a disaster for both the people of the world and the person sitting on that chair!
Xiao Jingyi is capable, and Xiao Jingmo, his eldest son, has shown extraordinary intelligence, which makes Jing** even more surprised.
The dynasty has a successor.
At least within two generations, Daqi's regime will remain stable.
If his descendants can live up to his expectations, perhaps Daqi will usher in a prosperous era and all nations will come to congratulate him.
Jing** was filled with emotion, but it only lasted for a moment.
After Xiao Jingmo came forward to greet him, he asked, "Grandfather, was the birthday cake you sent yesterday delicious?"
Jing** remembered the sweet and soft taste and nodded, "It's delicious. Grandfather likes it very much!"
Xiao Jingmo chuckled, "Mother made it specially for Jingmo. After it was finished, Jingmo asked father to send it to the emperor grandfather."
"The one that Grandfather ate yesterday was the first one out of the pot!"
The smile on Jing**'s face deepened a little.
"Jing Mo is thoughtful."
"Your mother is also a good one."
"The Emperor's grandfather knows that you are filial."
The grandparents and grandchildren had lunch together and the atmosphere was very warm.
After lunch, Xiao Jingmo took a nap in the side hall of the Zichen Palace before going to the martial arts field to take a horse riding and archery class.
As the New Year approaches, the festive atmosphere becomes stronger day by day.
Every family starts buying New Year's goods and preparing for the New Year.
Yun Fuling looked at the purchase list reported by the manager below and suddenly thought of something.
Everyone has worked hard for a year, and it’s time to reward them with some year-end benefits.
Especially the people from Jishidiang, Pharmacy and Pharmacy Garden under her name.
This is also an opportunity to win over subordinates and win people's hearts.
If you don't give real benefits, who would work for you wholeheartedly?
Who wouldn’t be happy to receive an additional benefit on top of being paid?
If they get tangible benefits and realize that they can make money and eat meat by following her, they will naturally follow her wholeheartedly.
After Yun Fuling had thought about it roughly in her mind, when Xiao Jingyi came back in the evening, Yun Fuling discussed with him the matter of distributing benefits to the people below.
Xiao Jingyi had never paid attention to these things before.
These trivial matters are all taken care of by Butler Fu.
He thought for a moment and said, "I vaguely remember that during the New Year holidays, an extra month's allowance was given."
Yun Fuling had already learned about this from Butler Fu, so she nodded and said, "It was indeed the case in the past."
"But this year is different. You married me, and there is a mistress in the palace. Of course, there must be a new atmosphere."
"Otherwise, wouldn't it seem like I have no presence? Nothing will change in this palace whether I'm there or not."
Xiao Jingyi couldn't help laughing, leaned over and kissed Yun Fuling, "So what do you want to do?"
"The rule of paying an extra month's salary remains the same, and the year-end bonus must be given."
"In addition to this, we will also distribute some physical goods as welfare, such as cloth, wine, cakes, fish, meat, and other things."
“They can use these things during the Chinese New Year.”
Yun Fuling thought of the annual meeting of her previous company and felt that this tactic could be borrowed and used.
It not only allows everyone to get together and have fun, but also can motivate employees, inspire people, and enhance their cohesion and sense of belonging.
Yun Fuling explained the concept of the annual meeting to Xiao Jingyi in plain language.
Xiao Jingyi was greatly surprised when he heard this.
"How come so many wonderful ideas always come out of your little head!"
Yun Fuling chuckled, "I'll just take it as a compliment!"
As she spoke, Yun Fuling got up and took a pen and paper to write down her ideas briefly. She would perfect them when she had time tomorrow and then implement them.
Yun Fuling was writing furiously on one side, while Xiao Jingyi frowned in deep thought.
He also has many advisers and trusted generals under his command, who follow him wholeheartedly. Now that the year is coming to an end, it is natural for him, as the lord, to express his care and love.
Xiao Jingyi thought about what Yun Fuling said about the annual meeting and felt that this was a very good idea.
They eat and drink together to build relationships, and then give some New Year gifts to express their love and care, so that everyone knows that if they follow him, he will never treat his people unfairly, and they will naturally work harder for him in the future.
Yun Fuling and Xiao Jingyi own many industries, so naturally there are many people working for them.
If so many people gathered together, there would be no place to accommodate them.
Yun Fuling thought about it and felt that it would be better to hold this year's meeting separately.
Jishitang was one group, the medicine garden and the medicine workshop were another group, and the servants of Prince Yi’s Mansion were another group…
As for Xiao Jingyi's advisers and trusted subordinates, he was the one who went to comfort them, and Yun Fuling didn't care.
The most we can do is count the number of people and take their share when we go shopping.
Nanxi Village.
Ever since Princess Yi built a medicinal garden on the hill east of the farm, farmers could go to the garden to help out in their spare time and earn some wages, and their lives became much better than before.
As the New Year is approaching, every household is discussing the purchase of New Year's goods.
In the past, during the Chinese New Year, it was good enough if the family had some surplus food. How could they have the money to buy New Year’s goods?
