Although Tokyo City has experienced heavy snow this year, the white snow has not reduced the enthusiasm of the people. Instead, it has auspicious scenery that indicates a good harvest. New Year's Day is the most celebrated day of the year and the most important of all festivals.

The back garden of the palace was naturally extremely happy. Zhao Zhen took the children to shovel snow and build snowmen, and even built an Eskimo igloo for them with his own hands.

The scientific principle is very simple, which is to use the low heat conductivity of ice to leave heat in the igloo.

Wang Yuyan and Yang Caiwei were puzzled by Zhao Zhen’s work on building an igloo. In their opinion, ice will only make people colder. How can it be warmer? The official also said that it is impossible to put a warmer inside!

But what the official said was so sure, and insisted on making the igloo by itself and letting the children stay overnight. Wang Yuyan and others knew that the official never joked about the health of their children, so they had to give it a try.

Zhao Zhencai didn't care about that much and took the children to make ice bricks on the ground. Sancai was about to come forward to help, but he pushed him away and said, "Do you want to deprive me of the joy of playing with the royal heirs?"

Sancai looked at the bad-looking princess and the second prince and said with a laugh and cry: "I don't dare, I just have such a rough job..."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "I am in great health. I don't need an eunuch to interfere. I will bring the truck I made for Yun'er. I will use it later."

The so-called bucket truck is actually a large toy made for his son by Zhao Zhen using the pulleys and lever principles of later cranes, but it is most suitable to use it to carry ice tiles.

Choosing a large open space towards the sun, Zhao Zhen and his children quickly started making ice tiles. With the efforts of the four of them, a lot of ice tiles that were well managed were not done at once.

After laying the foundation, the rest is much simpler. Zhao Zhen took the children to carry the ice tiles. From the bottom layer, every time it stacks a circle, shrinks inward, the circle becomes smaller and smaller, and finally forms a closed hemispherical dome.

Zhao Zhen used a sharp long knife to open a small window on the south side. A piece of snow stretching out from the slab above the small window can not only block the snowflakes from floating on the window, but also refract the sun's rays so that it can shine directly on the indoors instead of on the heavy snow bricks in the north.

Because in winter, the sun's angle is low, and the morning light sometimes comes from the southern horizon. Therefore, the large snowboard above the window is a refraction mirror that allows the sun to illuminate the house without lighting such as candles.

The crystal clear igloo emits dazzling light in the sun, as if the world in the conversation is in the conversation, the children are jumping and jumping happily around the igloo. Zhao Zhen explained the principle, lay it in it with a blanket, and then put it in a warm copper stove, and it becomes a paradise for the children...

Wang Yuyan entered the igloo without believing in evil. The warm feeling instantly made her startled: "This is really magical. I didn't expect that the house made of ice and snow was so warm, not colder than the hall."

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "That's of course. The so-called investigation of things means to understand the principles of everything and use it for yourself. Zhao Xu, Zhao Yun, Zhao Ling'er, can you three remember it?!"

The three children raised their red faces and said in unison: "Kids remember the emperor's decree!"

Sending the three children to the igloo to play, Zhao Zhen stood on the rockery in the back garden and looked at the smoke rising from the city and sighed slightly: "The year is gone with the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze brings warmth to the slaughter of the summer. In the sun, thousands of households always replace the new peach with old charms."

Sancai quickly wrote down the poems and praised: "This is a masterpiece of the official family, good poems, good poems!"

Wang Yuyan and Yang Caiwei read the classics, history, and literature, and were very insightful about poetry. As soon as Zhao Zhen’s poem was expressed, the eyes lit up between the two women. Wang Yuyan silently said: “Thousands of households are shining in the sun, and they always replace the old charms with new peaches… Good mood, good poetry… The official poems have been improved again!”

Being worshipped by his own woman is a very beautiful thing, and Zhao Zhen is no exception, let alone his own woman's pink neck and peach cheeks are as beautiful as a fairy? But this poem was not written by him after all. Zhao Zhen was embarrassed to show off with a shy face and interrupted a little: "It's just a few things I feel. Today is New Year's Eve, and midnight is the new year. Tonight, our whole family will climb Xuande Tower and stay up with the people of the Song Dynasty?"

Have fun with the people!

This is of course the thing that Wang Yuyan and others like the most. Wang Yuyan and Yang Caiwei like this feeling of being respected, while Vera simply likes this warmth and happiness.

Of course it is not easy for the emperor to have fun with the people. Sancai has to prepare entertainment programs and notify the court officials. Even the emperor and the people are staying up with the new year. How can court officials not be able to do so?

The Spring Festival in the Song Dynasty was extraordinary. Zhao Zhen’s feelings over the past few years made him discover that the Spring Festival in the Song Dynasty was more humane than in the future. When it encountered the heavy snow like the previous few days, the court considered that the people were not easy to be careful, and usually paid relief funds to the poor in the capital, and at the same time, the three-day rent for those who rented public housing was reduced. Zhao Zhen paid for the money himself for a whole month, which made the people shout that the officials were kind.

This is just the kindness of the emperor Zhao Zhen. In this era, he pursued great wealth, the greater the responsibility. The charity that Zhao Zhen saw was alive. On heavy snow, some wealthy families would personally observe lonely and difficult families. When they were broken gold and silver or money were inserted into the cracks of the door at night, or sent their confidants to chisel one or half taels of silver, wrapped in paper, and picked up poor families in the window or cracks of the door to help them.

The helper got up the next morning and the house was given the help. It was like falling from the sky. He thought that God suddenly appeared, but he didn't know that it was actually the kind-hearted person who expressed his compassion.

This kind of charity that does good deeds without leaving a name is much more friendly than those high-profile charity. Giving favors without seeking any benefits or rewards is the virtue of a gentleman.

Tokyo City at night is the most exciting one. Various lanterns appear vividly, and some even move on the carriage. The people around them follow and cheer. It is very lively. Today, the small vendors in Tokyo City will not be subject to any restrictions. They set up stalls in places other than the main roads!

There is also an annual selection of courtesans, but the winner will not receive the reward from Zhao Zhen, but Wang Yuyan, the mother of the country, was awarded by himself. Although she was not as good as the emperor, she was awarded by the queen of the mother Yi Tianxia. The identity of courtesans was finalized and she could easily become a good person in the future. No one would say anything anymore.

Everyone was caring, and of course the court officials were no exception. Zhao Zhen gave a banquet on Xuande Tower. No matter how big or small the official position, he could attend the banquet. From the ministers in the court to the judges of Kaifeng Prefecture, he could have a banquet. However, the place of doing is different, and there must be high and low...

Zhao Zhen sat at the top of the banquet. The table was full of the husbands of the two governments and three departments. The officials' female relatives were naturally handed over to the Queen Wang Yuyan and the Concubine Yang Caiwei to entertain. The huge warming stove made everyone take off their heavy cotton coats.

This time, Zhao Zhen not only stayed with the people, but also wanted to convene the two governments to discuss the Northern Expedition. The noisy scene in Tokyo was incompatible with the silence of Zhao Zhen’s table, because everyone here knew what the official banquet meant... The Northern Expedition was about to be imminent, and his sword was aimed at the clouds!
