After winter, heavy snow began to fall all over the Qin Dynasty, and the temperature dropped a lot. Xianyang City was also covered in snow, and the auspicious snow heralded a good harvest.

In the study room of Yuxuan Pavilion, Ying Yu was rocking the cradle and teasing little Wan'er, while looking at little Xin'er who was wrapped like a little cotton ball and rolling around in the crib, her face couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Share a smile.

"In other families, the elder sister is more quiet and the younger sister is more naughty. You are completely reversed."

"Be careful, when my sister grows up, she will laugh at you as a sister."

Ying Yu gently scratched the nose of his eldest daughter, Xiao Xin'er.

"Eaaah!"

Xiao Xin'er thought Ying Yu was playing with her, so she opened her big round eyes, showed a sweet smile, and started dancing around.

"You!"

"Call Daddy, and Daddy will take you out to play."

Ying Yu smiled fondly and helped the little guy pull down his collar, which was a little down.

"How old is Xiao Xin'er? How could she learn to speak so quickly?"

Wang Ying walked in holding two bottles of freshly brewed milk powder. When she saw Ying Yu, who was teaching her daughter to call her daddy, she immediately smiled.

"It's possible. Our two little darlings are both very smart. Maybe they learn faster than others."

"I'm talking about you, little naughty boy."

"You must learn to call daddy quickly!"

Ying Yu patted his eldest daughter who was holding a little bear doll and was about to chew it.

This girl is very active and curious about everything she sees. She will start causing trouble if she doesn't pay attention.

He is completely different from the well-behaved and quiet little Wan'er.

"It's not like your husband is used to you. Stop making trouble. If you continue to make trouble, this girl will be restless for a long time."

"It's time to feed the two little ones."

Wang Ying glared at Ying Yu angrily and said.

Others had loving mothers and strict fathers, but when it came to Ying Yu, he doted on his two daughters to no end, which made both Wang Ying and Xiao Mei dumbfounded.

"The little ones are still young. When they get older, they will naturally understand and know how to be filial to their parents, right?"

Ying Yu kissed each of his two daughters on the face and smiled softly.

"Just get used to it!"

Wang Ying patted Ying Yu's hand away and started breastfeeding the little one carefully.

"By the way, where is Xiao Mei?"

Ying Yu asked casually.

"The steam engine from the Engineering Institute has been delivered, and Sister Xiao is arranging manpower to cooperate with the craftsmen to install plumbing and lay thick carpets in each hall,"

"The weather is getting colder and colder now. The adults are fine, but the two little guys can't freeze."

Wang Ying replied with a smile.

Only then did Ying Yu remember that he had told the Engineering Academy a few days ago to develop a central heating method to better survive the cold winter.

Compared with the previous coal stoves and heated ondols, the heating is uniformly heated by steam engines and transported through pipes. Not only does it have less of the smell of coal, but because it is laid with water heating pipes, it can be combined with floor heating and wall radiators.

Heating is more comprehensive and has no dead ends.

After the trials in Yuxuan Pavilion and the Imperial Palace are successful, Ying Yu will arrange to promote it starting from Xianyang New City to make the winter of the people of Daqin warmer.

"This is indeed a good thing, but I'm afraid there will be a lot of noise in the mansion today."

"How about we, as a family, just go out of town for a walk?"

Ying Yu smiled.

"Although it has stopped snowing outside, the snow is still not cleared. It may not be convenient to go out at this time!"

Wang Ying hesitated and said.

The first snow after the start of winter has been falling for several days. It's okay inside the city, and the snow is being cleared at any time. Outside the city, the snow has accumulated for several days, but it doesn't melt so easily.

"Don't forget, we have a steam car. This thing, with a shovel on the front, can be used as a snow plow. The snow plowing efficiency is definitely not comparable to that of manual labor."

"And it doesn't matter if the snow doesn't melt, it's just right for skiing!"

Ying Yu smiled slightly.

Before he traveled through time, he was born and raised in the Northeast, so he was no stranger to the sport of skiing.

But at that time, I was very strapped for money, so I only skated here and there a few times, but now I have no worries about this.

"Well, then I'll inform the next few sisters!"

Seeing that Ying Yu was very interested, Wang Ying also smiled and nodded.

She originally had an active personality. She was expecting a baby and had a baby, as well as many other matters in Yuxuan Pavilion, so she hadn't gone out to do any activities for a long time.

And since it was rare for Ying Yu to be in a leisurely mood, Wang Ying would not fail to accompany him.

"By the way, Qin Feng, please run to the palace, inform your father, and let's have some fun together."

Ying Yu ordered with a smile.

Qin Feng on the side quickly accepted the order and then trotted out of Yuxuan Pavilion.

...

"You called me here. Did you invent something new?"

Ying Zheng, who was wrapped tightly, happily played with his two granddaughters for a while before turning his head and talking to Ying Yu with a smile.

Ying Yu couldn't help but laugh.

Ever since he had two little ones, Ying Zheng always teased his little granddaughter first every time he came over, and his own order had moved later.

"It's not rare that the snow is clear and it's time to rest. My son has asked me to build a batch of sleds. If my father is interested, we can go out to the city to go skiing and have some exercise."

Ying Yu smiled.

"Sled? Is it the weapon you invented last year that can walk on snow?"

Ying Zheng suddenly became interested.

Staying in the palace all day long will make you tired of seeing even the best scenery, let alone the First Emperor Ying Zheng who always likes to go out.

However, the road was blocked by heavy snow. Even if Ying Zheng occasionally wanted to go for a walk in Hanzhong County or Sanchuan and other places, he was blocked by the heavy snow, which quite dampened his interest.

Now the sled mentioned by Ying Yu has solved this problem.

"Exactly."

"This sled is not only a transportation tool, but it can also become a sports event."

"In the cold winter, people stay at home and there are not many recreational activities except playing chess and mahjong. It is better to go skiing, which can not only kill time but also keep fit."

"And it can also boost economic consumption a little bit."

Ying Yu said with a smile.

"So good!"

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

As the emperor, Ying Zheng naturally knew that if the people were too idle, it would not be good to eat.

With nothing to do and money to spare, it is easy to drink, gamble, cause trouble, and get into trouble.

It would be better to create a few sports events to give people something to do.

It can also be used as a criterion for military selection.

After all, during the twelfth lunar month of winter, ordinary people can stay at home and watch the winter, but the Qin army still has to patrol and guard.

The sled is undoubtedly an important means of transportation to ensure material supplies for forward posts and patrol in the snow.

It can be said that it accomplishes multiple things with one stone.
