Chapter 58: Heavy Snow Hot Pot

"Boom"

A kilometer away, the hills were blown up and dusted everywhere.

"Good!" Yan Ran was so happy that he couldn't do it, now he was more confident in unifying the world, looking at the dust flying in the distance, Yan Ran seemed to see the battlefield, and his eyes were full of determination.

Han Feng was quite satisfied with the overall structure of the ship, but he suddenly thought of a problem, if a large amount of ammunition was put into this ship, the ship would be very drafted, which required a reduction in crew to achieve a balance, otherwise it would be really dangerous to sail in the river.

But if the crew is reduced, if the enemy climbs up, the defense capability will be much worse, and these clothes must be equipped with some defensive equipment.

"Someone! Bring pen and paper! The scholars of the Academy of Sciences immediately went to the study to get pen and paper.

Han Feng picked up the pen and began to draw, what he designed was very simple, it was some spikes, he was going to install these spikes under the ship's gun window, once someone wanted to sneak up could only be stopped by these spikes.

"The wisdom of the king really impresses the students." The scholars were envious when they saw it, although it was only a small thing, anyone could design it, but no one could think of it if they wanted to.

"You will be even better in the future, you see that the cannon you designed is now the main combat force of our Xia Kingdom." Han Feng looked at the scholar and smiled.

These scholars are very potential, and they learn super fast, especially in the area of innovation, Han Feng only gave them the basics, but they can create a lot of novel things.

For example, microscopes, telescopes, and all kinds of human-powered machines, and even some small factories have begun to open in many places to start producing glass, and some industrial raw materials, such as lime, gunpowder, etc.

"Your Majesty, this winter is coming, you have to pay attention to your body, the minister is still waiting for the king to ascend the throne, Xia Guotian will add a little prince!" Yan Ran smiled.

This winter, basically everyone is resting, because it will snow in many places, and it is extremely inconvenient to go out.

There are still a few warm places in the south of the Xia Kingdom, and Shang Moss is located a little northerly, where it snows heavily every year, and it is very inconvenient to go out.

Han Feng also understood what Yan Ran meant, but recently, Han Feng has been busy with government affairs, and almost never took care of the two concubines, at most, he went to their palace for a walk, and continued to deal with government affairs in the second day.

"Ping'an Hou, this matter is not urgent, and it is not too late to wait for the unification of the world?" Han Feng quipped.

"Your Majesty, your concubines are the least among all kings, and even the concubines of the minister's family have more female officials in your harem, doesn't the king love women?" Yan Ran was very puzzled, this man doesn't like women, what is the situation.

"I naturally have my own purpose, how much do you think this harem will cost every year! Other kings have tens of thousands of gold! You are looking at me, two concubines, with a maximum of thirty female officials, excluding the expenses of female brocade clothes and guards, the entire harem is less than a year of hardware. Han Feng looked at Yan Ran and said seriously.

"The king is really worried about the country and the people, and the other countries have to spend a bunch of expenses every year for the royal family members, hundreds of thousands of gold, nearly a million gold, which is also one of the forces that my Xia Kingdom can unify the world!" Yan Ran admired Han Feng very much in his heart, since a man can resist beauty, it is really not easy.

Hanfeng's Xia Palace's money is also the least, and after Hanfeng ascended the throne, he decreed that no large mausoleums should be built in the country, and the largest cemetery could not exceed Qiping, even if it was his own mausoleum.

Moreover, the palace of the Xia Kingdom is almost not expanded except for maintenance, and it does not need much money for a year, and all the money saved is used to upgrade the industrial base of the Xia Kingdom and prepare for the construction of the Xia Kingdom.

After returning to the palace, snowflakes began to float in the sky, the snow became heavier and heavier, and in a moment the city was covered with snow, and the white patch looked very beautiful and moving, but there was still no snow in the north, that is, Jianxing City, as soon as the snowflakes fell like Jianxing City, it turned into rain and flowed into rivers and lakes.

"Come on, invite Commander Hu and the two mothers!" There haven't been any concerts lately, and Han Feng can finally relax for a while.

Liu Cheying is now busy playing with her male pets, and rarely comes to the palace to walk around, because no man can enter the harem except for King Hanfeng.

There is a lot of charcoal burned in the copper furnace in the main hall, and although there are a few ventilated places, the temperature is still warm, and you can't feel the cold when you wear a single dress.

"You're here, you haven't eaten at noon!" When Han Feng saw several beauties coming, he hurriedly got up to welcome.

Mr. Hanfeng hugged Yun Qian, this is the heart and soul baby of Han Feng, and she knows many of Han Feng's little secrets.

"Your Majesty, you won't ask us to come to dinner, will you?" Hu Mei'er looked puzzled, eating in a solemn place like the main hall is really a long time to see, this is called eclectic, and if it is serious, it is no etiquette.

"Yes, there it is! Other places can also have less charcoal fires, so as to save more, do you say? Han Feng said with a smile.

"You're really the most slammering king in history!" Hu Meier teased.

"Come on, bring everything up!" Han Feng clapped his palms.

The ladies brought twelve large round tables, a pile of washed ingredients, and twelve huge copper pots.

"None of this is done? Is this going to cook here, Your Majesty? Hu Meier was very puzzled.

Most of the dishes of the ancient people were stir-fried, roasted, fried, stuffy, and stewed.

"It's called hot pot, and the selected ingredients are put in a boiling soup pot and soaked in a pot to fish them out and dip in some sauce, which is particularly delicious! And it's perfect for winter! "Han Feng is no longer in a hurry, there are only a few dishes that this ancient chef will have, although the taste is okay, but Han Feng has long wanted to change the taste.

"What is this? It feels like hair! Yun Qian picked up a piece of pork belly and said curiously.

"It's delicious, I'll eat it for you!"

Han Feng soaked in the boiling pot for eight seconds, then put it in a bowl full of sauce, and then personally sandwiched it into Yun Qian's mouth and said, "How does it taste?" ”

"Hmm~ delicious!" Yun Qian's face was full of happiness, she looked at Fang Meng and said, "Sister also hurry up and taste it, sister will help you shabu!" ”

Fang Meng was actually very jealous, but some things were like that.

"I'll do it!" Han Feng personally took one for Fang Meng, and still fed it to Fang Meng's mouth in person.

"Hmm~ It's really delicious, thank you, husband!" Fang Meng blushed slightly, she thought that Han Feng was still minding the original incident.

"Your Majesty, you can also give me a piece of shabu, I want it too!" Hu Meier is envious, jealous and hateful, and she and the female official are single dogs at this table.

"This~" Han Feng had a trace of doubts, he had also thought about including Hu Meier in the harem before, but after a long time, the two of them were too familiar with each other, and they couldn't do this, and Hu Meier didn't have the same feelings for Han Feng as before, but like family.

"I'd better go eat with the palace maid next to me, so I won't bother you to show your affection!" After Hu Mei'er finished speaking, she took the dishes and chopsticks, pulled up the bewildered female official and walked to the table where there were few other people.

There are 130 people in the entire palace, including the cooks and imperial doctors who cook here.
