Chapter 225 New Year x Customs

The World Government was a little dissatisfied when it saw this, and gave a small warning to the World Economic News Agency.

Fanatical pursuit is not a good thing for the rule of the world government.

......

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-December of the Haiyuan calendar year 1506, and there was only half a month left before the beginning of the Haiyuan calendar year 1507.

"Lita, are there any New Year activities?" Xia Jieren asked expectantly. He really wanted to experience the New Year in the pirate world.

"Activities?" Litte looked at Xia Jieren with confusion.

"Yes! It's New Year's Eve, don't we need to organize some activities to celebrate?" Xia Jieren explained with a smile.

"Oh~, I know this. Some countries on the ocean, such as the Flower Country, will hold celebrations during the New Year's Eve."

Litt suddenly realized, and then said a little embarrassedly: "However, we don't have such a custom in the Kingdom of the Netherlands."

"Uh~" Xia Jieren was speechless for a moment, thinking: "This won't do!"

Xia Jieren looked at Litt and suggested seriously, "Litt, this won't work."

"Now that the lives of the people of the Kingdom of the Netherlands have improved and their stomachs are full, they are now pursuing a richer spiritual life."

“That’s why I founded the entertainment group.”

Litte thought about it and felt that what Xia Jieren said made sense.

She said in a distressed tone, "So what should we do? Hold a celebration like the Flower Kingdom?"

"Various celebrations need to be held, but they need to be held spontaneously by the people. We just need to ensure safety." Xia Jieren shook his head.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Well, I'll go back and think about it. I'll tell you when I've made up my mind."

"There is still half a month left until the Chinese New Year, there is enough time." Xia Jieren smiled freely.

"Okay! Thank you for your help then." Litte also laughed.

Return to HeartNet.

Xia Jieren thought carefully about what he needed to do during the Chinese New Year and made a list.

【Have a holiday】

【Posting couplets and blessing characters】

【Ancestor worship】

【pay a New Year call】

【Eat reunion dinner】

【Fireworks and firecrackers】

【New Year's money】

Xia Jieren thought about it carefully again.

After confirming that there was no problem, Xia Jieren found Litte again in the afternoon.

"Lite, what do you think of these activities?" Xia Jieren placed the printed list in front of Lite.

Litt picked it up and started reading, while Xia Jieren explained, "During the New Year, I plan to give all people in the country a seven-day holiday, except for some essential jobs. Seven days is enough for people to have a good rest."

"Which seven days?" asked Litt.

"How about January 1 plus three days before and after? This arrangement will allow people to prepare enough supplies for the New Year."

"Yeah." Litte nodded slightly to show her agreement.

After watching, Lit praised: "These activities are great! Master Jieren is really amazing to think of this."

Xia Jieren smiled awkwardly and explained: "This is the custom in my hometown."

"Lord Jieren, is this your hometown? Can I have a chance to visit it?" Litte asked curiously.

Hearing this, Xia Jieren's eyes flashed with sadness, and his mood became low. He sighed, "Alas! I don't know if I will have the chance to go back."

"Lord Jieren, you will definitely be able to return to your hometown." Seeing Xia Jieren's depressed look, Litte realized that she had reminded him of sad things, and hurried to comfort him.

"Thank you!" Xia Jieren responded with a smile, and then brought the topic back to the topic, "Do you think these customs are feasible?"

Litt lowered her head and continued reading.

After a while, she looked up at Xia Jieren and said with a smile, "It works!"

"But, Lord Jieren, what are the words written on these Spring Festival couplets and the word 'Fu'? Why have I never seen them before?" Litte asked puzzledly.

"Oh~ This is the writing used in my hometown. Of course you have never seen it." Xia Jieren explained.

At the same time, he thought to himself: "It seems that Chinese culture needs to be included in the school curriculum in the future."

Xia Jieren pondered for a while, then said, "First remove the item 'posting couplets and blessing characters'."

"If no one can understand it, then it's meaningless."

"If we write couplets and the Chinese character for blessing in the universal language, it always feels a little lacking in meaning."

"Okay!" Litte didn't object.

Xia Jieren discussed these activities with Litte again.

Finally, she expressed her concerns, "Lord Jeren, I am afraid that the people are unwilling to spend Bailey on the New Year."

"This is indeed a problem." Xia Jieren touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

The lives of the people of the Kingdom of the Netherlands had just begun to improve, but Xia Jieren knew that they still had a sense of insecurity deep in their hearts.

It’s not their fault, the world is in such chaos.

No one knows what will happen next, but with Pele in hand, you will have confidence.

"Let's do this! Let the Netherlands Group be fully responsible for the supplies needed for this New Year." Xia Jieren said generously.

"All the supplies?" Litte asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Xia Jieren nodded heavily and said, "It's not much actually. Each household only needs 20,000 Baileys, which is enough to have a good New Year."

"There are only a little over one million households in the Netherlands now, so they would need about 20 billion."

Seeing that Litte was still a little worried, Xia Jieren smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, the Netherlands Group has a liquidity of 100 billion Baileys on its books. This amount of money is just a drop in the bucket."

After hearing this, Litte stopped worrying about it.

The people’s good life is more important than anything else.

"Now that we have decided, let the Dutch Daily announce it to the people of the country."

"Whether to pass or not? How to pass? It all depends on the will of the people. We just need to guide them."

Xia Jieren stood up and concluded.

"That's best!" Litt replied with a smile.

Xia Jieren waved his hand and prepared to leave.

When he reached the door, he paused and suggested, "Lite...that."

"What's wrong?" Litte stared at Xia Jieren's back in confusion.

Xia Jieren took a deep breath and said, "During the Chinese New Year, do you want to have a reunion dinner together?"

"Okay!" Litte agreed decisively.

"Then I'll wait for you." After saying that, Xia Jieren quickened his pace and hurriedly left Litt's office.

Only when she heard the door close did Litte react, and her pretty face immediately flushed.

Litt covered her cheeks, lowered her head, and whispered shyly: "What does Master Jieren mean? Isn't the reunion dinner for families to eat together? Could it be..."

For a moment, Litte's heart was pounding and she no longer had the mood to handle official business.

......

After receiving Xia Jieren's order, the Dutch Daily took quick action.

Overtime, typesetting, additional issues...

It really is true that the boss just talks and his subordinates run themselves ragged.

the next day.

The Dutch daily announced some New Year activities regarding "saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new".

People were ecstatic when they learned that they had seven days of paid vacation.
