Chapter 454 The Hammer Is Right
"How about this, Miss Jian? After we've sorted out all these documents and materials, edited them, and stored them in the database, I'll apply for a national-level bonus from the Ministry of Finance on your behalf. Is that okay with you?"
Jian Yan felt that this was not possible, so she smiled and said, "I appreciate Minister Zhou's kindness, but I cannot accept this bonus.
These things have nothing to do with me. At best, I am just a tool. The real contributor is Grandpa Yingchun.
If there really is a reward, it should be given to Grandpa Yingchun, what do you think?"
"Yeah, you're right!"
Minister Zhou nodded heavily and said in a resounding voice, "Miss Jian, please rest assured. I will report this news truthfully."
"Thank you!" Jian Yan thanked him, then said, "Excuse me, can I leave now?"
Before she finished speaking, Minister Zhou hurriedly said no. Jian Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "Do you have anything else to do?"
"It's about the festival ambassador."
Just remembered the brief summary of this matter, "···"
Could she say she had forgotten everything?
The main reason is that the empire’s legal holidays are too outrageous.
The Dragon Boat Festival was celebrated on the wrong date. The 15th day of the seventh month was clearly the Ghost Festival, but the empire celebrated it as the Chinese Valentine's Day. If the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl knew that the date of their meeting on the Magpie Bridge was changed to the Ghost Festival, they would probably be so angry that they would jump into the Milky Way.
There is also the Winter Solstice, which is one of the 24 solar terms. In the empire, it is a festival as famous as the Mid-Autumn Festival.
What can she say?
She would never dare to accept the role of festival ambassador, fearing that her father would appear in her dreams and beat her to death, accusing her of messing around.
With a slight smile, she said meaningfully, "Minister Zhou, I don't think there's any rush regarding the Festival Ambassadors. Once you've thoroughly understood and absorbed all these documents and historical records, there's no rush to discuss this with me."
Anyway, forget it in the short term.
Once Minister Zhou and his colleagues find out the correct statutory holidays, traditional festivals and the 24 solar terms from these historical documents, the government will inevitably have a headache.
So, there is really no need to rush.
However, Minister Zhou, who was unaware of the truth, was anxious. He tried hard to persuade Jian Yan to take on this responsibility, but Jian Yan refused again and again. Finally, he was forced into a corner and said, "Minister Zhou, I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request at the moment.
I'll show you a way. Don't rush to study those historical documents.
First look at the book list and find the three books "Traditional Festivals", "Five Thousand Years of Chinese History - Festival Culture of Dingguo", and "Traditional Festivals and Cultural Space" for research.
At that time, if you still insist on asking me to be the festival ambassador, I will do my best to accept it.
What do you think?
Minister Zhou and the others looked at each other in confusion.
For some reason, Jian Yan's words made them feel a little panicked. They always felt that if they studied these three books, the imperial government would have a headache.
Something will also be subverted!
These three books are so targeted.
Could it be...
An astonishing thought came to his mind, and Minister Zhou suddenly felt a toothache and asked, "Miss Jian, do you know something?"
She knows, she knows everything.
But I can't admit it.
Smiling and shaking her head, she said, "Minister Zhou, I don't actually know more than you do. I just skimmed through it while sorting through these historical documents and materials."
Okay, this is solid evidence.
Their statutory holidays...
Wrong!
"Hurry, hurry, notify everyone that everyone will be working overtime today!"
He is a pragmatist. When he discovered a mistake, the first thing Minister Zhou thought of was not to conceal it, but to find out the truth.
Then, correct the mistakes.
