"Let's go. You don't need to buy anything. Just give me ten and a half taels of things." Shang Wen took Ying Yu and said.

"Are you okay?" Ying Yu asked

"If this is not a bad habit, I will immediately ban it and stipulate a series of legal provisions. Let's go," Naofumi said.

"But I haven't chosen a gift yet," Ying Yu shouted.

"Send a greeting card" Naofumi replied [

"What is that greeting card?" Ying Yu asked

"Let's go" Shang Wen pulled Ying Yu and rushed back

The two of them hurriedly entered the door and Naofumi saw an expensive gift on the coffee table.

"Look, I said the gift-giver will be here soon," Ying Yu said

"Send all these gifts back to the guards without leaving a single one behind," Naofumi ordered.

"Hey, wait a minute, let me see if there are any good things." Ying Yu said and was about to take a look.

"Don't look at it, hurry up and send it away." Shang Wen waved his hand. He was very disgusted with giving gifts. This so-called etiquette is a bad habit. Slowly, the city will grow. In fact, Qin State Shang Yang's reform has changed the custom once, but that custom was not involved. At this point, the conditions at that time were not involved, and Shangwen's reforms were mainly in the economic field. Qin's economic development had greatly exceeded the scale during Shang Yang's reform period. Every household had money, so the gift-giving was suddenly much more generous than before. The simplicity and frugality of the Qin people quietly changed with the sudden expansion of the economic level. This cannot be said to be that the economic development is not good, but that it is developing too fast.

Shangwen immediately called King Qin. While the phone was connected, Shangwen wrote a note and asked Meng Yi to be found. He wanted to find the media to publicize the matter. The impact of this matter was too bad.

"That's my greeting card" Ying Yu is still thinking about her greeting card

Naofumi signaled that he was going to do it for her when the phone was connected.

"Hello, is this Mr. Qin?" King Qin answered the phone and asked. "Hello" was used as a special language for calling King Qin.

"Yes, Your Majesty, that's the case. Your Majesty, I went out on the street today and found something very bad." Naofumi's voice was a little anxious.

"Don't be anxious, sir. Speak slowly." King Qin heard that Shangwen's voice was a little anxious and comforted him.

"When the king celebrates the New Year in Qin, the people's tendency to give gifts to each other must be controlled. Otherwise, if this trend is not controlled, the consequences will be serious," Shang Wen said simply.

"Why is this?" King Qin thought it was nothing

"There is nothing wrong with giving gifts as a courtesy, but if the value of the gift is regarded as a form of respect, especially the gift-giving style among officials, they often give me the most expensive gifts. There are already a large number of them. I just just If you withdraw this, it may turn into bribery among officials and cause the government orders to be blocked. This will be a great harm to our country of Qin, especially those bureaucratic styles. The harm to us is difficult to express in words," Shang Wen said excitedly.

"Yes." King Qin nodded on the other end. If Shang Wen hadn't reminded him, he might not have noticed this problem.

"Sir, what do you mean?" King Qin asked Shangwen for his opinion and how to deal with it.

"It is clearly stipulated that the value of gifts given by public officials cannot exceed ten and a half taels. Violators should be severely punished. Those who give out equity dividends should also be severely punished. It is best to change the gifts given during the holidays to ordinary greeting cards, etc." Shang Wen said [

"Greeting Cards" King Qin and Ying Yu both became interested in greeting cards.

"It's a kind of card that you can make yourself. Sincerity is the most precious and it can express the intimacy towards elders and relatives." Shangwen said on the phone, and Yingyu stamped his feet anxiously because Shangwen told what Yingyu planned to do.

"Then just do what you said," King Qin said on the phone.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to appeal to the people in the newspaper to do this so that they can return to the simple atmosphere of the festival," Naofumi continued.

"I promise sir, yes, sir. In the evening of my thirties, I will drink with you and look forward to the new year." King Qin said happily. In fact, this was to invite Shang Wen to a dinner. According to the custom of the Qin State, the King of Qin would hold a banquet on every major festival.

In order to bring closer the relationship between the monarch and his ministers

"I'm afraid this won't work." Shang Wen thought for a while and refused. Ying Yu was stunned. She didn't understand why Shang Wen did this.

"Oh why?" King Qin was also very surprised that he directly rejected the invitation he sent.

"Your Majesty, the State of Qin is now extremely large. We are celebrating the festival, but this country cannot stop functioning because of the festival. Our soldiers on the border are guarding our border. Some of our workers are working overtime to produce. Some people are still working in some important positions.

Still sticking to his post, as the Prime Minister of Da Qin, he should lead by example even in important situations.

I have to personally be on duty during festivals to hold on to my responsibility for Da Qin." Shang Wen said calmly. This was what Shang Wen just thought of, but it was not Shang Wen's intention to show off, but a responsibility to stick to. Someone must stick to their responsibilities in some important positions. It's irresponsible.

The consequences were very serious. Naofumi felt that he was the prime minister and the head of officials and had the obligation to do this.

"Sir, I am so righteous and I am so lucky to be the Qin Dynasty." King Qin said in a serious tone. After a few words, King Qin hung up the phone.

The reporter Naofumi ordered is also here. Naofumi wants to make some important speech immediately and time does not wait for anyone.

When Ying Yu saw it, he felt extremely aggrieved, "I fell into this guy's trap again. This guy is so busy."

Later, Shangwen first expressed his congratulations to all the people on the major festival of Qin at the press conference. This was the first time that the Prime Minister of Qin congratulated the people.

Then Naofumi urgently issued an order from the Prime Minister's Office, requiring that the value of gifts from the date of issuance should not exceed ten and a half taels and asking people to use homemade greeting cards instead of traditional gifts. The reporter was puzzled by this and Naofumi could only slowly explain it.

reason

The reporters also gradually understood the Prime Minister's actions, but reporters were easy to draw inferences. They began to shift their attention to other officials, such as dereliction of duty in certain duties or other mistakes. This gave reporters other things to do media supervision.

The role is being guided by Naofumi because few reporters paid attention to this aspect before. Their thinking still focused on those anecdotes and ignored the affairs of officials.
