In the third year of Yonghui in the Tang Dynasty of China (652), the public holiday system was changed from "five days off" to "ten days off", and the original "five days off and one day" became "ten days off and one day", and the last day of the month became a public rest day. "Xiu Mu" is the meaning of resting and bathing, Xun Xiu is also called "Xun Huan", and the Huan people are also dirty, and since then the public holidays have the titles of "Xiu Mu" and "Huan".

After the introduction of "ten-day rest" into Fuso, it became quickly accepted by the public, after all, no one can stand it without rest every day. In the Edo period, the shogunate and the people adopted the "10-day holiday" vacation method, but only the demon reform was able to live, and the "10-day holiday" was changed to "15-day holiday", and everyone was closed on the 1st, 15th, and 25th days of each month.

In addition, the New Year, the five major legal holidays of the shogunate and the Obon Festival are also public holidays, the New Year is a 20-day holiday according to the custom, generally the first five days and the next fifteen days, the Seven Grass Festival is also included in the New Year's holiday, the Hina Festival on March 3, the Calamus Festival on May 5, the Tanabata Festival on July 7, and the Chrysanthemum Festival on September 9 are all one day off, and the Obon Festival on July 15 is more special, generally given seven days off, and the holiday is the day and the three days before and after the festival.

Of course, the holidays depend on the rules of the shogunate, and sometimes they will be adjusted, such as the imperial palace (shogun) and the old man are happy, the festival may be longer, and if he is unhappy, the festival may be shorter, but generally will not be tossed around.

Public holidays in the feudal domains of each region were generally modeled after the shogunate's holiday system.

The vacation of high-ranking samurai was relatively casual, because in order to prevent people from being overworked (autocracy), many important positions were held by many people, so high-ranking officials of the shogunate had the habit of taking two shifts and one rest or "three times off". Two shifts and one day off is a two-day shift and one day off.,"Sanban Qin" is a day of work every three days.,Anyway, everyone lives close.,Just find someone if you have something.,In addition, there is a habit of holding regular meetings to "assess".,It won't delay the business.,So there are many high-level samurai holidays.。

If the lower-level flag and the royal family have a formal job "service", then they are not as leisurely as the big guys, they still have to go to work every day, and they can only rest on public holidays. For some special positions, such as vigilance, everyone has to work in shifts, especially on public holidays, which may be busier than usual.

Merchants and craftsmen carry out the "one-five rest", but some shops are also open on holidays, and employees come according to the rules of the guild. At the same time, the "zaza" of the association of commercial town guilds and the guild organizations of each profession also have their own special holidays.

Peasants in rural areas generally follow the "one-five-year rest."

The temple houses, which teach the knowledge of ordinary children, generally also implement the "one-five rest", and some gentlemen implement the "five-day rest" system on the basis of the "one-five rest", so it is widely welcomed by parents and children.

Kino Kuniya Rihachi arranged for someone to start making a windmill model after the fifteenth day of the first month, and after being instructed by Naohide on the spot, the new model was successfully put into operation on the 22nd day of the first month. On the 24th day of the first lunar month, Liba came to visit Naoxiu, and the four Mitsui Zha with a face value of 100 taels were neatly placed in a wooden box, and under the Mitsui Zha were 40 small judgments, which was so pleasing to the eye.

"Look at how beautiful the printing of this Mitsui Za is, Toranosuke, Gakujiro, you also appreciate it", the average samurai will not check it in person when they receive money, but Naohide is different, he is "open", and he opens the gift box on the spot to inspect it - knowing the face but not the heart, what if there is one less golden ticket? You can't give someone an excuse to make a mistake.

Rihachi's face twitched, and he ran to the Oshimoto Oguri house to show the windmill model, and then reported the idea of "each family will give me money", hoping to get the concession of some areas, and after hearing this, the head of the Oguri family, Tadaka, only said "um" to indicate that he understood. Now looking at Zhixiu's face, he can say that counting money is so elegant, and he is more and more determined to believe that "this person's future is limitless".

Rihachi praised Naohide, and also conveyed an invitation from Wakaten-like Oguri Tadashun, hoping that Naohide would go to Oguri's house on the 25th to explain the operation of the windmill. Naohide thinks that Rihachi is showing his muscles, and euphemistically warns himself to keep his promise after receiving money, but he also wants to have a good relationship with Oguri Tadashun, so he promises to go on time.

The Oguri family mansion is quite vast and worthy of being a famous family for generations. The Oguri family from the Warring States period (1467-1600) is the Tokugawa family's genealogy of the old ministers, the family style is simple, not afraid of difficulties, often in the battle as the vanguard "vanguard", because the Oguri family has been loyal and brave for generations - the first battle to kill many lords, so given the title of "again", which means "again", is to praise the Oguri family is always the first to take the lead.

During the Sekigahara Battle (1600), a key battle before the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and the Osaka War (1614-1615), the Oguri clan was still active and was highly valued by the Shogunate during the Edo period.

The stone height of the Oguri family is 2,500 stones, don't look at the stone height is not much, but as a large body banner, he is closer to the Tokugawa shogunate than the daimyo of the spectrum, and the head of the Oguri family often serves as a deputy official and other high-ranking officials, belonging to a typical shogunate real power faction.

Two years ago, Oguri Tadashun officially became a member of the official and entered the personal guard directly under the general, because he had a "good personality" and did not have a high emotional intelligence, and often offended people, and won the nickname "Tengu" for his "arrogant" attitude.

Naohide and the student's study tour permit "over the hand shape",It's through Oguri's operation.,This permission is a trivial thing to mention casually for Oguri.,But it's too difficult for Naohide and these low-level samurai.,So Naohide is very grateful to Oguri.。

Naohide took a homemade blackboard and chalk to explain to Oguri in detail the operation and working principle of the rice-style windmill, and then presented the just-completed "Isaac's Mechanics Works", and promised to collect the new orchid book and send it to Oguri's house as soon as possible, and then Naohide encouraged Oguri to find Mr. Tanan to study orchid in depth - the current head of the Oguri family, Oguri Tadaka, is quite hostile to Mr. Egawa Tanan, as if he is jealous of the fact that the Egawa family, who is also a big banner, can inherit the position of acting official of Izu Nirayama.

The future Oguri Tadashun and Egawa Tanan (1801~1855) were a pair of unlucky ghosts, and after the death of Mr. Tanan, Oguri was the most unlucky, and the officials had him but the benefits were taken away by others.

After the establishment of the Restoration government, people rated the "Three Heroes Before the Restoration", "Three Heroes of the Restoration", and "Three Heroes of the Restoration", and the characters in them were all characters who stood on the side of the Restoration - although Sakamoto Ryoma put forward the idea of "Eight Policies in the Boat", he just hoped that a large-scale civil war would not break out and that there would be less bloodshed, and he did not support the shogunate. Another high-ranking official of the shogunate, Katsu Kaishu, was later also a high-ranking official of the Restoration government.

Isn't there anyone in the shogunate who is pushing for the modernization of Fuso? Isn't there anyone making real achievements? Yes, one of the representative figures is Xiaosu Zhongshun.

In the second year of the future Ansei (1855), Oguri Tadashun took over as the governor of the family and assumed the post of inspector of the shogunate, "Daimefu".

In February 1860, the shogunate sent the first foreign mission to open the country's borders, and this was the famous "Hamrimaru Rice Visit" mission.

It is said that Xianlin Maru visited rice, but in fact, the main members of the mission were all on the US warship Powatan, and Xianlin Maru only accompanied him.

At that time, the envoy was Shinmi Masaxing pursued by the Foreign Commissioner, and the 33-year-old Oguri Tadashun was the inspector. Because Oguri was born with a mocking face, he also treated the people of the United States as usual and interacted with them as equals, and because of his big faction, he was mistaken for the head of the mission. After returning to Japan, Shinmi was promoted, and Kosu took over the position of foreign government.

In 1861, Oguri finally met someone even more rude and arrogant than he was - the Rusia man, who was dismissed from his post for the failure of diplomatic representations during the occupation of Tsushima by Rucia warships.

This was the first time in his political career that he was forced to go to the field seventeen times in his life, because he often disagreed with everyone and was tough in his methods. It is said that after the defeat of the Battle of Toba Fushimi (January 1868), Tokugawa Yoshiki, the 15th shogun of the shogunate at the time, secretly returned to Edo from Osaka by boat despite the advice of his retainers to stick to Osaka.

The warships of Rucia, which had occupied Tsushima in 1861, retreated when the English minister sent two warships to intimidate. Although Oguri failed to negotiate with the Rusians, the problem was resolved, and he was appointed as one of the Kanjo Governors (similar to the Chancellor of the Exchequer) shortly thereafter. Later, he continued to rise through the ranks, and successively held important positions such as Edo Town Governor, Infantry Chief, and Navy Governor.

In the second year of Bunkyu (1862), Oguri Tadashun proposed a huge plan to establish a modern navy by setting up naval bases in six cities, including Edo, Hakodate, Noto, Osaka, Shimonoseki, and Nagasaki, but the opposition led by Katsu Kaishu sneered at this, believing that if Oguri's plan was followed, there would be a navy in 500 years. However, Oguri sent young talents such as Takehiro Enomoto to study abroad, and took advantage of the fact that a large number of warships were idle after the end of the Civil War, and purchased new warships at favorable prices, which greatly enriched the naval strength of the shogunate.

At this time, Katsukaishu was a high-ranking shogunate official who was a warship commissioner, and Katsukaishu came to prominence in 1853 when the black ship came to visit, and was successively appreciated by Okubo Tadahiro, the head of the coastal defense royal officer, and the chief elder Nakabe Masahiro, and was constantly promoted.

The Oguri family has been a big body flag for generations, and they consider themselves to be loyal dogs of the shogun, and they are wary of the outside daimyo, but at the same time, they are also hostile to the new subordinate flag represented by Katsu Kaishu. And Oguri Tadashun adheres to the shogunate reform policy, so he is not liked by the conservatives' big bannermen, and with his poisonous tongue, Oguri Tadashun has offended almost everything he can offend. But Oguri is very loyal, has a good vision, and has a strong wrist, so everyone can't do without him, and the result is: Oguri has experienced seventeen times in his life, but he will be used again shortly after he is deposed.

In order to save the shogunate from the turmoil, Oguri vigorously implemented a number of reforms, including fiscal reforms such as currency and taxation, replacing the shogunate system with the county system, sending naval students to the government, purchasing 44 steam warships, establishing shipyards in Yokosuka and Yokohama, hiring Flannish instructors, and adopting a modern Flannish military system. Some of these reforms have succeeded, and some have failed.

After the death of Oguri Tadami, his achievements were scattered in the wind, but the Yokosuka Iron Works he initiated became the cornerstone of the modernization of Fuso's shipbuilding industry.

In the first year of Genji (1865), Oguri proposed a plan to build a large-scale modern factory with a steel-making and shipbuilding capacity comparable to that of Western countries. At the time, foreign ministers and the shogunate thought that this was impossible, but Oguri Tadashi cut the shogunate's expenses and began to build the Yokosuka Iron Works, which was called the Iron Works but was actually a factory for making ordnance and shipbuilding.

During this period, the shogunate was financially strained, but the shogunate led by Oguri worked hard to raise funds, and the construction of the Yokosuka Iron Works was maintained and finally completed in 1871, but three years after Oguri's beheading.

The Yokosuka Iron Works was the largest modern chemical plant in Fuso at that time, and it trained a large number of engineers for the shipbuilding industry in Fuso and laid the foundation for the modernization of the shipbuilding industry in Fuso.

Oguri, who served as the commissioner of the shogunate four times in his lifetime, was recognized as an "economic expert" by the shogunate, and was praised by later generations as the "father of Fuso's modernization" and "the first minister at the end of the shogunate".

Oguri often told his colleagues that although it is impossible for seriously ill parents to recover, children will always insist on delaying medical treatment for them until the moment when their parents die.

Naval commander Heihachiro Togo, who won the Battle of Fuso and Lucia, said that the person he was most grateful to was Oguri Uenosuke, and the historical novel writer Ryotaro Shima affectionately referred to Oguri Tadashun as the "father of Meiji" in his book "The Country Called 'Meiji'".

There are many folk legends about Oguri Tadashun in Fuso, the most famous of which is the "Great Treasure Hidden by the Shogunate".

It is said that the Shogunate Elder Ii Naobi had collected a great deal of wealth before his assassination and was preparing for modernization, but Ii was stabbed to death during the Sakurada Gate Rebellion, and the whereabouts of this treasure are unknown. And everyone speculated that Oguri, who was a close confidant of Ii at the time, was most likely to know the whereabouts of this treasure.

So after the curtain was successfully overthrown, the Restoration government forced Oguri to ask where the treasure was, and Oguri said that there was no treasure at all, and the Restoration government killed Oguri's entire family in a fit of rage. Later, a delicate brocade box was found at Oguri's house, which was wrapped in layers of things, but when I opened it, it was an ordinary screw.

It turned out that in 1860, when Hamin Maru visited rice, the officials of the rice country ridiculed the shogunate: "You Fuso only buy ships, don't say that in the event of a naval battle, you will lose the paint and embroidery, you will not be able to repair it", and after speaking, he picked up a small screw, "You can't make such a small screw." Oguri was deeply stimulated, and treasured this screw throughout his life, and took it out as a warning from time to time.

Folklore is not true, and there were similar screw legends in China later. However, the legend contains the admiration and gratitude of the people for Oguri Tadashun's modernization and reform, "no matter how history is dressed, a person's efforts and perseverance for the civilization and progress of the nation will eventually be remembered by future generations."
