In the nineteenth year of Yongtai, the first day of the fifth month.The yellow calendar reads: The year is in the north, eight are broken, five rich are natural, avoid breaking the ground, burial, it is advisable to open the door and open the business.Obviously, this is an auspicious day to open a business and open a business.Sun Yihuan's "West Lake Seat" was officially opened on this day.At that time, there were no TV commercials, online media or anything, except for shouting, the best means of publicity and distribution was leaflets.Of course......
The cost of printing flyers is also not low.Although Dahui's printing technology was quite prosperous, the efficiency of printing things at that time was completely different from the efficiency of modern printing houses; At that time, not only was paper expensive, but also the manpower required for printing was also large, and the shipping speed was ......
Our modern printing factory, as long as the order is placed on the assembly line, tens of thousands of quantities, it will come out in a day or two, but if you want to print thousands of leaflets in the evening, you can't get it out in half a month.Fortunately, Sun Yihuan was also prepared, and he was already working on this matter more than a month in advance, so the news of the "opening of the West Lake Seat" had flown all over Hangzhou City seven days ago, and even the surrounding counties had spread.On the first day of the first day of May, the city of Hangzhou was noisy with gongs and drums, firecrackers rang out, although there was no red flag, but there were also crowds of people.The other owners and bustards in the city who opened restaurants and green buildings also chose to close their doors for a day today, and they all came to Sun Yihuan here to worship the pier with congratulatory gifts.If before the incident caused by "Red Plum Sparrow", they were still a little skeptical about the rumors left by Sun Yihui on the rivers and lakes, then after that incident, they had no other thoughts than "recognize the eldest brother" - after all, they didn't want to be killed.And Sun Yihuan is also a good person, before the opening, he had already greeted this group of peers: I will eat this bowl of rice, but I will not smash your rice bowl.So how exactly does he do it?
It is mainly from the two aspects of business hours and market positioning.Sun's West Lake Elegant Seat is not open all year round like other high-end restaurants and green buildings in Hangzhou, but adopts the business schedule of "one break in three days" and "one break in seven days".For example, if the first day of the fifth month opens, then the first and second days of the new year are the days of normal business.The so-called "normal business" is to do a full lunch market and dinner market: the lunch market is the two hours before and after noon, only open the two floors of the downstairs scattered seats, the price is moderate, facing the public, will be profitable, make a shout; The dinner market starts at midnight and ends at the latest, with only two floors upstairs, only private rooms, and the menu ensures that you can't see or eat in other restaurants......
The price is also extremely high, that is, to earn the silver of those dignitaries.Then, on the third day of the new year, I will rest for "half a day", that is, there is no lunch market on this day, only an evening market.On the fourth day, the fifth day of the new year, and the sixth day of the new year, it will be open for three days, and then on the seventh day of the new year, it will be closed for "a whole day", that is, the seventh day of the new year will not be open all day, and the staff of the restaurant will also be on holiday.From the eighth day of the first month, there will be another such cycle.Rank, that's the Shu Dynasty, do you know how the Shu Dynasty went to work at that time?
At this time, the chapter said that the actor was about to reply: "I don't know", then let me tell you about it.Because Taizu himself is a hard-born, down-to-earth working people, he is extremely strict with himself, let alone others; At that time, the whole country only had three days off in a year, namely the Spring Festival, the winter solstice, and the emperor's birthday, and the other three hundred and sixty-two days were working days.This is obviously contrary to human nature and science, so it ......
After Taizu hung up, for a few years, the policy seriously "rebounded", and the new emperor actually announced that it could be held for more than a month before and after the Spring Festival, from the twentieth rest of the lunar month to the twenty-fifth of the first lunar month, but this is a bit overkill.It was not until the middle and late period of the Shu Dynasty that the distribution of holidays became stable, in addition to a fixed three-day holiday every month, various festivals throughout the year can also be off......
Anyway, the total sum of zero and zero adds up to 50 days.What is this concept?
It is equivalent to you doing a 996 job now, and you only have to take the specified day off every week, and you have to go to work on all national holidays.Otherwise, how could people live short at that time?
You're short of what you do.However, to be specific, most of the officials of the Shen Dynasty will not work twelve hours a day like the people of 996, especially the local officials, and they do not have so many official affairs for them to do, and their office time can be allocated by themselves, and it is okay to delay it for ten and a half days and a month if they are not particularly anxious.As for the common people, there are those three hundred and sixty-five days when their hands stop and they stop, and they dare not rest for a day, and they do manual labor; There are also those who occupy the house and lie on the ground, and lie there every day to collect rent and have no worries about food and clothing......
But on the whole, it is still the working people who are the majority.Therefore, for those guys who work in the "West Lake Seat", Sun Yihuan's "one break in three days and one break in seven days" is simply an earth-shattering benefit.Roughly calculated, they have at least about 12 more "regular leaves" than others in a year, and they can also take a "half-day off" every week; Don't underestimate this half-day, this is completely different from our modern "half-day vacation", people don't have to get up an hour and a half in advance to go to work at that time, and then squeeze the subway, squeeze the bus, or drive themselves on the road for about an hour, and don't have to spend it again when you get off work......
In ancient times, people were really "going to work nearby", walking and walking, the commuting time was no more than half an hour at most, and the evening market of the restaurant did not start until 7 o'clock in the evening, which was equivalent to the day until dinner was put on for people at that time.Over the course of a year, there are 52 days of such a "break......
With the same salary, the capable guys in the city must be rushing to work here.Such business hours, coupled with the fact that the lunch market is only used for the common people's business, and the number of kaizi that can be received in the evening is also limited, so it will not form a monopoly; At most, it is to scrape a little bit from the business of other restaurants during the lunch market, and the evening market competes for a small number of high-end customers.Moreover, Sun Yihuan's restaurant does not provide accommodation and the kind of business that sells jokes in green buildings, so in general, it does not have such a big impact on the business of his peers.Brother Sun calculated this account clearly, and as soon as he told those bosses and bustards, those people calculated in their hearts, and they were down-to-earth - since the young master of the Sun family is willing to leave a way for everyone to live, then everyone will come to give a gift today, and it is also appropriate to be polite and polite.And in addition to these "capitalists", today's scene, "officials" must also be indispensable.No, the new prefect of Hangzhou, Lord Lu Wenlu, who had just been transferred over a year later, also "deigned to come".Speaking of this Lord Lu, let's have a few more words.Lu Wen, whose name is Yancheng, has eight out of forty this year, the champion appointed by the first emperor, and was still a Beijing official three years ago, but it's a pity......
He was unlucky, and just when he was getting along in the officialdom, his father suddenly fell ill and died.There is no way, according to the filial piety system of the Shu Dynasty, Lu Wende immediately returned to his hometown to keep filial piety for three years (in fact, twenty-seven months to be exact).The matter of "keeping filial piety" is similar to the current military service system in South Korea, no one who is an official can escape, and it is equivalent to a "catastrophe" for them; As for whether you will be able to return to the center of the political arena after this catastrophe......
It's a matter of luck.Some people have bad lives, when the official luck is prosperous, they are just in time to keep filial piety, but after the guard, they were not able to be reinstated as soon as possible due to various reasons, but were demoted; There are also some people with good lives, maybe their abilities are average, but the elders all died early, and they slowly stayed up, and they didn't stop being promoted all the way.Lu Wen undoubtedly belongs to the former......
How dangerous the officialdom in the capital is, after he finishes his filial piety, his original position has long been occupied; Fortunately, he had a good relationship with the adults in the ministry, and after some turnover and dotting, he was arranged to come to this Hangzhou mansion.Although the official position was demoted, and he only became the prefect of a place, but in this land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, there is a lot of oil and water, and Lu Wen estimated that he had been here for a full term, and it was not difficult to use the oil and water he had fished to "walk around" and return to the capital.However, when he was still on the way to office, he heard about something that made him very unhappy - "Red Plum Sparrow" was arrested in Hangzhou.This news was so angry that he slapped his thigh, and Lord Lu said in his heart: "Who did this?"
You say you'll be three or five days late?
When I take office, you will deal with this Jiangyang thief, isn't this merit mine?
It's good now, let my ex pick up a big bargain for nothing. ”How do you know when you're going to take office?
Besides, if it really drags on for three or five days, even if Hong Wei hasn't run away, how many good women will he harm?
But from Lu Wen's point of view, he didn't think so, so after he took office and understood the cause and effect of the matter, he had a pimple in his heart about Sun Yihu.In fact, Lu Wen had heard of Sun Yihuan's name before he came here - just recently, there was a Zhang Daren who was transferred from Zhoukou to the capital, and he was telling people everywhere, saying that he had met two "young heroes" when he was in office before, one was called Sun Yihuan and the other was Huang Donglai......
Awesome!
Especially the young man surnamed Huang, who is the master of killing people in the dung pit, who can afford to provoke him?
In addition, there are some rumors that these two people are also related to Jinyiwei, but I don't know if it's true or not......
As a person who is quite ambitious in the officialdom, Lu Wen is very diligent in inquiring about all kinds of news, and he has naturally heard about these things, so even if he is slightly dissatisfied with Sun Yixiang in his heart, he does not dare to turn his face with the other party before trying to find out how many catties and taels the other party has.Today, Lu Wen came to this West Lake seat, just to meet this Sun Yihuan in person, and to show off his official authority with this kid, and to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger......
