The end of the Han Dynasty was not the end of the Song Dynasty, and Confucianism bound the minds of the literati; At the end of the Han Dynasty, it was not the Ming and Qing dynasties, and servility was already deeply rooted in this land. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for hundreds of years, the collision was not only the Jin Ge Iron Horse, but also the sparks of countless ideas. It is the inheritance of these ideas and wisdom that gives the opportunity to turn the world into a free and unrestrained era. Gao Ye spent a whole ten years, whether it was the reopening of a hundred schools of thought in the academy, or the political encouragement of commerce, or the highest tribute to a mechanical inventor, all of which made the people of this era truly feel that in this world, it is really not "everything is inferior, only reading is high"!

Although it has not been possible to make this era like later generations, even so, after Gao Ye proposed the new term bank and gave a simple explanation, people like Mi Zhu and Zhen Yao, who deal with money all day long, have already understood the operation principle of banks, and even understand it much more thoroughly than Gao Ye. Even Xun Yu and Guo Jia already have an extremely deep understanding of the strategic significance of the bank in their minds. Although none of Gao Ye's books on economics mention the term bank, after all, Gao Ye did not study finance, and the only collection of economics books is very basic, but this does not prevent everyone from accepting new ideas at all. Gao Ye has long mentioned the concept of financial war to everyone, and once such a large-scale nationalized financial institution becomes a reality, at least in the field of economy, Cao Cao's side can completely crush the other princes.

Xun Yu could think of this, and Cao Cao naturally understood it. Cao Cao could even think of how much benefit it would bring to his Cao family when such a bank was established. It's just that this benefit is too big, so big that the Cao family can't bear it at all, so it is normal for people to take out a part of the benefits to take care of their most important subordinates. Except for Xun Yu, who questioned a little whether this bank should be run in the name of the royal family or the imperial court, everyone else readily agreed to Cao Cao and come up with a reasonable and feasible plan as soon as possible.

Xun Yu's words, there is no problem, after all, although Cao Cao has a high prestige, he is just a commonplace after all. When it comes to credibility, the imperial court is the highest. Moreover, financial institutions such as banks can only play their role to the maximum extent if they are attributed to the imperial court. If it is only in the hands of one or several families, in the future, the situation of the tail will not be lost. Gao Ye obviously felt a trace of embarrassment in the scene, but Xun Yu was dedicated to the public, and the reasons were sufficient and the arguments were sufficient, so Cao Cao couldn't help but think about it carefully.

At the end of the year, the bright future of the bank is extremely attractive to those sitting in the lobby today. Except for Cao Cao's final decision to open a bank by the imperial court, the bank is still just two words that stay in everyone's mind. As for how to start it in the end, we have to wait for Mi Zhu and others to come up with a specific plan.

Let professional people do professional things, this has always been the creed of Gao Ye. For the complex and advanced economics of later generations, Gao Ye only knew a little about the skin, and contributed these furs, Gao Ye felt that he had completed his mission. The rest is still left to the elites of this era to perfect. Although Mi Zhu is very similar to the time when he chatted with Gao Ye about the bank carefully, it was the night of the twenty-ninth day of the New Year, and all Gao Ye wanted to do was go home early and prepare for the New Year, how could he be in the mood to continue to accompany Mi Zhu to discuss business!

Speaking of which, since Emperor Wu founded the "Taichu Calendar", the Chinese New Year has gradually become the most grand festival in the lives of the people, and it has also gradually become the most important and indispensable festival in the lives of the people. The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the so-called Spring Festival is nothing more than saying goodbye to the previous year, preparing for the spring sowing of the new year, and preparing to treat yourself well before the work of the new year. This festival has lasted for more than 100 years, if it were not for the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Dong Zhuo's Rebellion, such a grand festival would not have disappeared in the lives of the people.

Now the victory of Guandu seems to have given every person under Cao Cao a dose of reassurance, and this year's Spring Festival, the celebration of the imperial court is unprecedentedly grand and rich. Even ordinary people can eat a meal of meat to satisfy their cravings. This is really thanks to Zaoyi's hard work, if he has not been vigorously promoting the breeding industry among the people and the military and people's tuns, it is also an extremely difficult thing to have so many chickens, ducks, pigs and mutton for the people to eat. However, it is also fortunate that there is a tuntian system, otherwise it would be difficult for Zaoyi to let these people spend their energy to raise livestock.

After all, once the New Year begins, the whole country is on holiday for half a month. Neither farmers nor merchants want to work hard during the New Year. As for the officials, in addition to going to the emperor to pay New Year's greetings and taste the royal banquet, they also have to wait until the seventeenth day of the first month to officially open the court, and officials at all levels will not continue to work until the seventeenth day of the first month. In contrast, it is still a little more difficult to be a soldier, because someone always has to be on duty every day, although it is a changing guard system, but people who can't go home even during the New Year's Festival can imagine the sour heart. The salary of being a soldier here in Cao Cao is very high, and the benefits are very good. On the other hand, the punishment for leaving one's post without permission and violating military law is also quite severe. For the sake of the family's livelihood and the future of the children, at least until now, Gao Ye has never heard of anyone in the army who has escaped.

However, at the time of the Chinese New Year, the soldiers on duty in each shift were only one-tenth of the original, and the guards of a huge city immediately dropped several levels. For this point, Gao Ye expressed his worries, after all, in the era of Gao Ye's life, the Spring Festival is often the busiest period for all kinds of things, if Gao Ye led the troops to fight, the Spring Festival truce or anything would not appear in Gao Ye's mind at all.

It's a pity that he thinks so, it seems that there is only Gao Ye alone, and even Cao Cao doesn't care and says: "Even the New Year of being a thief has to rest for two days, how can anyone find trouble at this time!" "It's really impossible to comment on this high night, maybe the values of the people of this era are like this, and the New Year may really be like the Olympic Games in ancient Greece, and people all over the world will enter a state of truce.

But there is no doubt that there is no doubt about worrying about so much, and it is only right to have a good time this year now. After careful calculation, Gao Ye found that he had not had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with his family for two or three years. The family sat around a table, watching the youngest son clumsily using a spoon, and watching her daughter being fed in Ying'er's arms, and the sense of happiness came spontaneously. For a while, I hope that time will always be fixed at this moment, and the people I love most in my heart are by my side, what kind of happiness is this!

It's a pity that there are too many ceremonies on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, to worship ancestors, to set off firecrackers, to welcome the gods and worship, plus many rules brought by Gao Ye from the afterlife, this meal time is really not much. What's more, the emperor also sent a little eunuch to deliver the decree and give a roast sheep in the high night to show his favor. Gao Ye had already scolded this unobtrusive Liu Xie thousands of times in his heart, but he still had a smiling face, and two gold ingots sent away the little servant. After all, the face of both sides has not been torn apart, and there is still due respect for Liu Xie.

Although the good words sent away the palace attendants, the roasted black sheep, Gao Ye still directly ordered someone to throw it in the backyard to feed the dog. A roasted whole sheep with no color and fragrance turned Gao Ye's original appetite into nothing. What's more, it was the mutton given by Liu Xie, is there any greasy in it, God knows, what if there is any problem, what should I do if I eat my family? It's better to be careful.

It was not until this time that Gao Ye found out that Cai Yan was strong, he lost his appetite and put down the dishes and chopsticks, and the rest of the family obediently put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hands. Although Gao Ye's eyes were full of longing for the braised pork on the table when he saw the high temperature, he didn't move another chopstick until the dishes and chopsticks were cleaned up. It can be seen that in the days when she is not at home, Cai Yan is really the hostess of this family!

However, these are not big things, for a people who revere their ancestors, the next ancestor worship is the real big thing. The people who are qualified to enter the ancestral hall now are none other than Gao Ye, Cai Yan, Gao Gao, and Gao Liang, who came to worship Gao Ye's ancestors who should have lived thousands of years later. As for Ying'er and Zhen Mi, as concubines, they are still not qualified to enter the ancestral hall.

The etiquette of the Han Dynasty was actually complicated to the point of outrageousness, and the Chinese of later generations were nothing more than going to the grave, burning paper, and remembering the kindness of their ancestors. But here, it's not that simple. For a person with the status of Gao Ye, the sacrifice is naturally extremely important. Although it is not possible to worship with pigs, cows, and sheep like the emperor sacrificed to the sky, there are always two animals. Not only that, Gao Ye also had to personally offer the grain he had cultivated, and Cai Yan also had to offer the brocade woven by himself. This is indeed more difficult, but fortunately, in large families, what the domestic servant has completed is also regarded as the credit of the head of the family, which can be regarded as the completion of the etiquette.

After the sacrifice is completed, it is necessary to serve wine and food, as a tribute, three bows and nine bows are not counted, but the worship is still required. As for the burning of incense, which was common in later generations, it was a luxury in this era. Scarce spices and high prices made spices affordable only for the real aristocracy, and most of them were incense-based. Xun Yu loves incense, and even got the name of a fragrant Xun Ling, which is enough to see the solidity of his Xun family.

The etiquette was cumbersome, and it took more than an hour to complete the work. It's just that Gao Ye, who has never loved etiquette, has not had the slightest impatience this time. The awe of his ancestors has probably grown in Gao Ye's bones, and Gao Ye will never dare to have the slightest disrespect for his ancestors. In the final analysis, it is their blue wisps, fighting with the sky and the earth, that they have left this space for future generations to survive!
