After repeated explanations and persuasions from Zhou Yu and Li Er, the little girl's dream of becoming an oiran, which had just begun, was stillborn.
In order to prevent the little girl from bringing up the past, the two men not only completely stopped talking about the courtesan, but also bought her all kinds of delicious food, hoping that she could forget about it as soon as possible.
joke.
The dream of a Tang Dynasty princess was to become the most popular courtesan in Pingkangfang.
If this was heard by others, even if it was just the talk of a child, the ministers in the court would scold Li Er to death.
With the indulgence of Zhou Yu and Li Er, the little girl was like a fish in water.
From time to time, he would pull Zhou Yu to a stall to try this and that.
After a short while, his little belly was already full.
But even so, I still bought a lot of cakes and delicacies that can be stored.
Just as the three of them were strolling around, Empress Changsun also followed with Chengyang and Li Lizhi.
Although she was in charge of the exchange of silver and money, it was actually her personal maid and her subordinates who did the work.
Faced with the lively temple fair, even as a queen, she also felt a yearning for it.
So, at Li Lizhi's suggestion, the mother and her two daughters set out on a secret journey.
On the bustling streets, big red lanterns are hung in front of every stall.
The light and shadows of the lanterns swayed, illuminating the entire street as if it were daytime.
People strolling on the streets, each with a curious look on their faces, would come to the stalls from time to time to take a look.
If you come across something you like, you will excitedly hand over the chips of the corresponding color.
Ever since Empress Changsun caught up, Li Er intentionally or unintentionally walked to the back of the team.
In just a short while, he and Empress Changsun had put a considerable distance between themselves and the others.
Watching Zhou Yu carrying the little baby from afar, Li Er curled his lips in envy. Then he turned to Empress Changsun and asked, "Guanyinbi, how much do you think we can earn today?"
“That’s not clear yet.”
Empress Zhangsun shook her head, then took Li Er's arm and said, "Judging from the money we have received so far, we have fully recovered our investment.
However, after the temple fair is over, the chips that have not been spent must be exchanged for silver and returned to the people.
Plus, we have to pay salaries and bonuses, so how much we can earn depends on how much we get back at the end of the temple fair."
As she spoke, she tugged at her collar.
Li Er, who was standing next to her, saw this and realized that Empress Changsun was not wearing a scarf.
So, regardless of the surprised looks of the people around her, she pulled out the scarf that she had stuffed into her clothes and wrapped it around Empress Changsun's neck.
After doing all this, Li Er said speechlessly: "This kid is really good at making trouble.
Whether it was the Chief of Works or these people, they all received royal salaries.
But not only did he want to come up with a reward and punishment system, he also wanted to pay them salaries and bonuses.
If I hadn't known that he was just that lazy, I would have suspected that he was trying to win people over."
When Li Er mentioned Zhou Yu's salary and bonus system, he felt so distressed that he sucked his teeth.
That was all pure silver, which was casually promised by that kid Zhou Yu.
But those people he promised were still receiving salaries from the court.
If you really calculate it, it's basically double the wages.
He wanted to lower the standard, but Zhou Yu told him directly that according to the Labor Law, he should be paid triple salary during the Spring Festival.
What does your triple salary in modern society have to do with my Tang Dynasty?
Those people are called cattle and horses in modern society, but they are private property in the Tang Dynasty.
Although these private properties belong to the imperial court, as the emperor, isn't it natural for me to let them work?
But Zhou Yu doesn't think so.
In his opinion, if he didn't organize this temple fair, those people could spend the Spring Festival in peace and tranquility.
Now that I have organized this temple fair and disturbed people's Spring Festival, I must pay them enough compensation.
If you, Li Er, don't agree, then there's no point in discussing the temple fair.
Li Er had no choice but to compromise in the end.
Seeing Li Er start to complain again, Empress Zhang Sun first patted his arm gently, then smiled and comforted him: "Well, these people should be given some rewards for working during the New Year.
Now that Xiao Yu has come up with a salary and bonus system, it can be more fair and just.
Look at the smiles on these people's faces, there's not a bit of fakeness in them.
From this point of view, Xiao Yu's reward and punishment system is more useful than your random rewards.
If it can be utilized in other areas, it may have unexpected effects.”
Because she strictly adhered to the principle that the harem should not interfere in political affairs, Empress Changsun did not explain some things.
But with Li Er's wisdom, how could he not understand?
Thinking about the possible effects of applying this system to the military, the original reluctance immediately disappeared.
Although some of what Zhou Yu did was not in line with the rules of the Tang Dynasty.
However, the superiority of the modern system should not be underestimated.
If we can really learn from it and put it into practice, the effect will probably be beyond imagination.
Even...it might bring unexpected surprises.
Thinking of this, Li Er felt somewhat excited.
But when he saw the lively scene in front of him, he put those thoughts behind him.
Now is a rare moment of leisure, there is no need to be disturbed by other things.
Thinking this in his heart, he immediately pulled Empress Changsun and walked towards the busiest stall in front.
Somewhere in the temple fair, Li Chengqian was walking among the crowd with a dull expression.
