Xianyang Palace, Imperial Study Room.

“During the Mid-Autumn Festival, let’s gather together to enjoy the moon and celebrate the harvest. It’s a good idea!”

Looking at the Mid-Autumn Festival establishment plan submitted by Ying Yu, a smile suddenly appeared on Ying Zheng's face.

There are indeed fewer festivals in Da Qin nowadays.

In the past, there was no celebration because most of the people lived in poverty. Even during the most solemn New Year every year, many people could not see meat on their tables.

However, nowadays, the income of the people of Great Qin has increased several times or even dozens of times compared to the past, and their need for adequate food and clothing has been initially met.

In this case, it is the cultural activities that are a bit behind.

Celebrating festivals is undoubtedly an excellent way for people to reunite and have fun with their families.

And this year is indeed a year of harvest and joy for Daqin.

The locust plague ravaged the entire Mediterranean, causing Rome and Carthage to succumb directly to the Qin Dynasty. By the time it reached Persia County, it had been weakened by more than half. After reaching Tianzhu County, it was basically dissipated. The mainland of Qin Dynasty was almost not affected.

Many people believe that this is a sign of joy that the Qin Dynasty has been blessed by the gods. It is indeed feasible to add a very meaningful festival at this time.

"What are your opinions, dear friends?"

Ying Zheng smiled and handed the plan to Meng Yi and others and asked.

"I think it's very good. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, people reunite under the full moon, which has a very good meaning and fits very well with the current prosperous scene of our great Qin Dynasty!"

"With one more holiday, the common people can take a few more days off, have a good rest, celebrate and spend some time, and the court can also increase a lot of tax revenue, getting the best of both worlds."

"I think Lao Meng, you just want to be lazy and hope you can have a few more days off work, right?"

"Don't you think, His Highness the Crown Prince has said that we should balance work with rest. During this holiday, we will also be the main consumers, okay?"

"Mooncakes are another emerging industry. All kinds of cakes will soon become popular in Daqin."

"Not just Daqin, but soon the whole world will learn to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and eat moon cakes."

"I think, since it is a festival of the Qin Dynasty, shouldn't those vassal countries of the Qin Dynasty show their respect and pay some tribute?"

Meng Yi, Nei Shi Teng, Dun Ruo and others all spoke with joy on their faces.

Naturally, the more vacations the better, how could they be stupid enough to object to it?

Moreover, although the income of each household has increased a lot now, due to busyness, the time to get together has become smaller.

Now the three-day Mid-Autumn Festival reunion holiday proposed by Ying Yu is an excellent opportunity for reunion.

You can also take a trip to Xianyang New Town and do some shopping.

I have money but I don’t have time to spend it, but like Jinyi Night Walk, it always feels a little less meaningful.

Everyone's money was legitimately invested in Ying Yu's shares. There is no need to worry about spending it. If consumed appropriately, according to what Ying Yu said, it can also promote Daqin's economy.

Under such circumstances, the proposal of the Mid-Autumn Festival naturally won the unanimous consent of several important ministers.

Ying Yu was also very satisfied with this.

Not only because of the early birth of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but also because of his efforts, the vision and level of the courtiers of Qin have been greatly improved.

Many courtiers can see the significance of the festival in the construction of spiritual civilization and its role in driving the economy.

Meng Yi and others were even more infected by Ying Yu's domineering style, and their attitude towards the subordinate countries was also very tough.

The prosperous and peaceful times in your country were given by me, Great Qin.

Under such circumstances, during the Great Qin Festival, those protected vassals would naturally express their gratitude.

This is like paying respect to your parents during the holidays.

"Your prince's life is getting more and more comfortable now!"

After the discussion, Ying Zheng teased his granddaughter while glaring at Ying Yu angrily.

It's true that Ying Yu has been too idle recently, and he only sees him in court meetings every now and then.

This made Ying Zheng extremely dissatisfied.

"Actually, Father, you can do it too. Nowadays, government affairs can be handed over to the three provinces and six ministries. Father, you can also go out more and relax."

Ying Yu smiled and said: "If my father feels bored, I can also accompany him to play chess, mahjong, fight landlords, etc."

"What is this landlord fight?"

When Ying Zheng heard this, a look of interest suddenly appeared on his face.

Although chess is very popular in Da Qin, it is busy with government affairs all day long and is not very good at Go.

Although Ying Yu later came up with a chess game, there was no point in playing chess with his ministers or followers, all of whom were intimidated by Ying Zheng's identity and tried their best to lose to Ying Zheng.

However, Ying Zheng found the mahjong that Ying Yu had invented quite interesting.

Now that he heard a new term from Ying Yu, Ying suddenly became more interested.

"This landlord fight is actually similar to mahjong. It is also an entertainment activity. Once launched, it will definitely become popular throughout the Qin Dynasty."

Ying Yu smiled slightly.

Even in later generations, the popularity of Doudizhu is not weaker than that of Mahjong.

If it can appear in Daqin, which is currently lacking in entertainment activities, it will definitely greatly enrich the leisure life of the people of Daqin.

"Really? Then I will reluctantly play with you for a while!"

Ying Zheng smiled.

Ying Yu was speechless for a moment, but he didn't say much.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the people are all reunited, so naturally they have to have a good gathering in the palace.

At this time, if there is a new way of entertainment, it will definitely be much more lively.

It can help the other princes and princesses who are in awe of Ying Zheng to get along more harmoniously with Ying Zheng.

"By the way, Father, you haven't given Xiao Xin'er a good name yet!"

Ying Yu nodded at his little daughter who was acting coquettishly in his arms and said:

"Xiao Xin'er, please tell Grandfather Huang quickly. If you don't give our little Xiner a good name, Grandpa Huang will not eat mooncakes."

"How old is Anping? Don't you bring Anping down?"

"But I was indeed negligent in this matter!"

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "Anping's character is very similar to yours. Yu means bravery, strength, ambition, freedom, and unrestrained meaning.

As for Xin'er's name..."

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up when he saw the Book of Songs on the table: "How about calling me Shi Xin?"

"Ying Shixin, that's right, little guy, this is the name given to you by your imperial grandfather. From now on, you must make sure that people live up to your name and behave well!"

Ying Yu looked at his little daughter rolling in Ying Zheng's arms with a smile.

Xiao Xin'er stretched out her fleshy little hand and naughtily pulled out the beard on Ying Zheng's chin.

Brother Zheng grinned in pain, but refused to let the little guy leave his arms.

Ying Yu smiled helplessly.

It seems that this little naughty man will never be able to settle down in the future.

However, this is her own daughter. With her pampering and the support of Ying Zheng, the emperor of all ages, she is not afraid of causing trouble as long as the direction is correct.
