[There is no manuscript saved, Heng Yi got up at five o'clock to code words, so sleepy, sleep again]

Legend has it that in ancient China, there was a monster called "Nian", with a long head and antennae, and it was extremely ferocious. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Nian" has lived deep at the bottom of the sea for many years, and only climbs ashore on Chinese New Year's Eve, devouring livestock and harming human life. Therefore, on Chinese New Year's Eve, people in villages and villages help the old and young flee to the mountains to avoid the harm of the "Nian" beast.

Later, it became known that the "Nian" beast could be driven away by pasting red couplets and setting off firecrackers.

Since then, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, families have posted red couplets and set off firecrackers; Households are lit with candles, keep more waiting for the year, early in the morning of the first day of the new year, and go to relatives and friends to say hello. This custom has spread more and more widely, and has become the most solemn traditional festival among Chinese people.

This is the origin of the Spring Festival, the most important festival of the year in the Chinese nation, but in this era, people prefer to call the Spring Festival the New Year or New Year.

Compared with the Spring Festival of 84, the Han Kingdom of the Spring Festival of 85 is more lively.

The Spring Festival in 84, at that time, the Yan regime ruled Siqi Province for more than half a year, and the Han Kingdom was established only for a month, initially gaining the support of the people, and various policies had just been implemented for a long time, and the lives of most of the people had not been much improved, but through the efforts of governments at all levels, the people who starved to death and froze to death in the Han Kingdom were greatly reduced, after all, there were still many remote places that could not be taken care of.

However, 84 was a year of joy for ordinary people.

The people at the bottom have their own land, coupled with the promotion of high-yield crop seeds, the peasants enjoy the joy of a bumper harvest, although it will not make the peasants rich all of a sudden, but the problem of food and clothing for the peasants is basically solved.

In newly established factories in various places, a large number of young laborers participate in the construction of factories, or become factory workers, as long as one member of the family becomes a factory worker, the problem of food and clothing for the family is completely solved, and there is even a lot of money left, and a few new clothes can be added for the Chinese New Year.

Popularize basic education and carry out literacy campaigns, people do not pay attention to whether they can read and write, but their children can read and write, it is definitely a big surprise, which parents do not want their children to become talents?

Governments at all levels have issued and implemented various government decrees, and the people have received various benefits, and they have more and more support for the government, and many ordinary people even have Yan Xueyi's immortal tablet in their homes.

Under the rule of the Manchu Dynasty, the people who had been working hard for life but could not solve the problem of food and clothing were now showing smiling faces under the rule of the Han Kingdom, and the people at the bottom did not need too many things, they only hoped to be able to eat and dress warmly, so it was okay, the Manchus could not do it, but the Han Kingdom could do it, so the Han Kingdom was supported by the people, and there were fewer and fewer people who wanted to continue to become Manchu slaves, and the rule of the Han Kingdom had been stable.

Taking advantage of the upcoming Chinese New Year, the cabinet planned a "warmth" action, and even Yan Xueyi participated in it.

Yuanhe City, Xicheng District, a residential area.

Yan Xueyi and Chang Yuxin went to the home of Wang Ming, a worker who was disabled due to work at the former steel plant, and visited Wang Ming.

When Wang Ming's family saw the arrival of the Han Wang couple, they knelt on the ground excitedly, and Yan Xueyi and Chang Yuxin had to help them up one by one.

Yan Xueyi took Wang Ming's hand and asked Wang Ming how their family's life was now, Wang Ming said to Yan Xueyi with tears in his eyes: "Thanks to the gift of King Han, our family lives very well." ”

Wang Ming, who was only 23 years old, was disabled in his right foot because of an accident at the steel plant, and although Wang Ming was forced to leave the steel plant, Wang Ming was disabled due to work, so the steel plant paid for Wang Ming's treatment and gave Wang Ming a monthly payment that was enough for Wang Ming's family to live.

What's even more remarkable is that Wang Naruto is still in Zhijian, when he was living at home, he looked through all kinds of books borrowed from the library, and he already had the cultural foundation of primary school and was moving towards a higher realm.

Yan Xueyi praised Wang Ming's learning spirit and hoped that Wang Ming would make more contributions to the country in the future, and at the same time, Yan Xueyi also thought in his heart that when the newspaper was opened, he must publicize Wang Ming's deeds.

Yan Xueyi came to visit Wang Ming on this trip, and he did not come empty-handed, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard moved rice, meat, oil, cloth and other items into Wang Ming's house one by one, which made Wang Ming's family feel very moved.

After Yan Xueyi and his wife left, Wang Ming's family looked at Yan Xueyi's figure, unwilling to leave for a long time, Wang Ming touched his five-year-old son's head and said: "Son, you have to grow up quickly, and when you grow up, you will be loyal to the King of Han." ”

Yan Xueyi and his wife came to visit Wang Ming's family, and there were no other senior government officials to accompany them, only community staff to guide the way, if other high-ranking officials came to accompany them, it was not to visit Wang Ming's family sincerely, but to put on a show, Yan Xueyi did not need such a show.

The high-ranking officials of the Han Kingdom did not accompany Yan Xueyi, and they also went to visit other ordinary people in various parts of Yuanhe City to carry out the "Sending Warmth" action.

Not only Yuanhe City, but also officials from other regions of the Han Kingdom also visited the common people in different ways, and the newly built welfare homes were the key targets, and there were many orphans who had lost their parents, the elderly who had no children under their knees, and the disabled who had no one to take care of them, who were vulnerable groups in society and should not be ignored, but should be given more attention.

The "send warmth" action that lasted until Chinese New Year's Eve made the people of the Han Kingdom feel the "warmth" of the Han Kingdom, and they embraced this ruler even more, hoping that the disgusting Manchu Qing would never return, and if they dared to return, they were willing to use their flesh and blood to protect their hard-won happy life.

The people's will has increased greatly, this is the biggest harvest of the "warmth" action, not only the people are moved, but also the middle and lower-level officials who participated in the action are also touched a lot, the original people at the bottom are so easy to be satisfied, many middle- and lower-level officials have made a decision in their hearts, and they must treat the people more kindly in the future and not let the people down.

Chinese New Year's Eve is coming.

Even the low-level people who don't have much money find a way to prepare a "sumptuous" Chinese New Year's Eve dinner to celebrate the arrival of the Spring Festival, and then the family laughs and listens to the sound of other people's firecrackers or watches the beautiful fireworks in the sky, as if this is their own family setting off fireworks.

The Han Palace in Yuanhe City set off fireworks early, and the bright fireworks bloomed in the dark night.

Yuanhe City seemed to have been discussed, and after seeing the fireworks in the Han Palace in the north, the sky of the entire Yuanhe City was instantly illuminated by colorful fireworks, as if the heavens and the earth had changed color.

Yan Xueyi's family laughed and watched the fireworks blooming in the night sky, and Yan Meilin in Xiao Mei's arms stretched out her little hand, as if she wanted to catch the fireworks in the night sky.

Another year has passed, and a new year has arrived.
