Chapter 494: Menstrual Leave (II) 1/2
Routine holidays are not such a simple thing, there are holidays, and there are many things that need to be paid attention to.
First, we should not allow people to spend too much time on leave.
If the time of the people's leave is too concentrated, then the production and life of the entire Xia Kingdom will come to a standstill, and the Xia Kingdom will not have enough ships to transport all the Xia citizens to visit relatives in another place.
Therefore, Su Yan will carry out certain restrictions, most of the leave is based on the family unit, each city limits the number of families who take leave every day, which family wants to ask for leave, you need to apply in advance, and the leave can be successfully applied for after approval, and this work is handed over to the household department.
Just like a large company, if an employee asks for leave casually, the whole company will be paralyzed, Xia Guo and the company are the same.
The second is to set up daily round-trip boat trips.
The Ministry of Household Affairs has given arrangements for the number of families to visit relatives in each city on the next day, ensuring that all families who need to visit their relatives are sent to their destinations, with a family of as little as three and as many as 10 people, and can only rely on water transportation under the current situation.
It is not impossible to transport by horse-drawn carriage by land, and to a certain extent, the speed of horse-drawn carriages is faster than that of ships, but if you want to carry out large-scale horse-drawn carriage transportation by land, you need to consider several factors.
The first is the number of horses, which must be sufficient to be available. the second is to further level the existing roads; The third is to build on the second one, and take out an elongated four-wheeled carriage, which can carry more people or goods than the two-wheeled carriage at a time.
Basically, these three factors, if they can be completed, you can carry out land carriage transportation, but at present, the number of horses in Xia is not large, and it is necessary to use a lot of manpower and material resources to further level the road, which can not be done in a short time, especially now under extreme climate change, Xia will not carry out this project in the short term.
In general, in the short term, it is impossible for nationals to visit relatives in another place by horse-drawn carriage, but only by water.
Because of the relationship between land transport and water transport, Su Yan also had to prepare a new department, temporarily named "Ministry of Transportation", responsible for transportation at home and abroad in Xia, which has two divisions of land transportation and water transportation, and some horses, carriages, and ships in Xia are arranged by the Ministry of Transportation, and there is a third division in the Ministry of Transportation.
The third item is to set up daily round-trip boat departures to deliver letters.
Anyone who has been a citizen of the Xia Kingdom for more than five years can write more than a thousand common characters, minors have schools to teach words, and when it rains in spring, summer and autumn, there are teachers in each city to teach illiterate adults and teach them words and simple arithmetic.
You don't need to learn much, at least you need to learn some common words and simple arithmetic.
In order to make it faster and more convenient for the people to learn Chinese, Su Yan took out the "Hanyu Pinyin" early, and there is Hanyu Pinyin, which is indeed to make everyone learn words faster.
Society is always progressing, there was no Hanyu Pinyin in ancient times, after the appearance of the predecessor of Hanyu Pinyin, "Zhuyin Symbols", people did become simple to learn Chinese, Su Yan will not deny it because the "English alphabet" does not belong to Chinese culture.
Now these "English letters" are simple phonetic symbols in the Xia Kingdom, which have nothing to do with the language, and are also one of the constituent cultures of the Xia Kingdom, as well as any Arabic numerals, which are one of the cultures of the Xia Kingdom.
Xia Guomin learned to write, and relatives and friends can also communicate through letters when they get along, but the previous delivery of letters needs to be sent by acquaintances, and now Su Yan is ready to set up a third department in the Ministry of Transportation-Post Division.
The post office can deliver not only letters, but also goods, only between relatives and friends, and by daily boats.
Through letters, both the visiting and the visited relatives can determine the time of the visit, and then both parties will ask for leave in advance, and the visited party will have time to receive the people who come to visit the relatives.
Coupled with some branches and leaves, "Routine Holiday" can be considered complete, but this is only the preliminary version, if you want to pass through the entire Xia Kingdom, you need to discuss with other high-level officials in the Xia Kingdom, build the transportation department, and then try to run the "Routine Holiday", if there is no problem, then fix it.
The preliminary version of "Routine Holiday" has been completed, Su Yan did not wait for the arrival of next spring to discuss the matter at the early spring meeting, chose a sunny weather, and directly invited all the high-level Xia Guo in Zhongjing City to discuss "Routine Holiday" together.
"Wang, I think this "Routine Holiday" is feasible, my sons and grandchildren are separated from each other, and most of the time they can only be contacted by letter, with this "Routine Holiday", I can find time for my sons and grandchildren to bring their families back to see." The snake wisdom speaks the thoughts in his heart.
After the snake wisdom stepped down as the city lord, he only held an idle position in a certain department, usually going around, pointing and pointing to the juniors, his sons and grandchildren lived separately, they had no time to return to Zhongjing City, so they could only take a boat to walk around in person.
What is this, the sons and grandchildren can't take the initiative to come back to visit as juniors, and the old father of Snake Zhi has to go out to visit the juniors in person.
After Snake Zhi finished speaking, the other high-level officials of the Xia Kingdom nodded in agreement with Snake Zhi's words, and everyone had similar thoughts, thinking that this "Routine Holiday" was feasible, the Xia Kingdom was strong enough, and there was no shortage of food, giving the people two days off every month, on the one hand, they could rest for two days after a busy month, and on the other hand, they could also be used as family leave.
After reading Su Yan's "Routine Holiday", Su Yan revised the "Routine Holiday", a total of three consecutive meetings in winter, and then looked for some ordinary people in Zhongjing to join, and finally the trial version of "Routine Holiday" was formulated, and it was tried out after the beginning of spring.
The trial version of "Routine Holiday" was formulated, and then the Ministry of Transportation was prepared, and the snake wisdom, who was still in good health, took the initiative to ask Ying, as the Minister of Transportation, and then transferred some officials from the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Household and other departments, plus some students who graduated this year from the School of Management of the Senior School, a general framework of the Ministry of Transportation was constructed, and after the end of the one-year trial operation, the Ministry of Transportation was officially established, and "Routine Holiday" was also used throughout the Xia Kingdom.
Although the snake is still in good health, he will not serve as the head of the Ministry of Transport for too long, and after the Ministry of Transport is officially established, a new minister will be elected. ()
