On the fifteenth day of the first month of the fifty-third year of the Great Qin calendar, this was also the third year of Hu Hai's ascension to the throne as emperor.

From the fourteenth night of the first lunar month, the snowflakes began to fall from the sky, but an hour of the original small and sparse snowflakes turned into dense pieces of goose feather-like snowflakes falling from the sky, but a few pillars of incense time in the whole Guanzhong, including Shandong outside the Guan, has been covered by a thick layer of white snow, wrapped in silver, like a dream.

However, the goose feather snow seemed to fall from the nine heavens, and it didn't stop for a moment, trying its best to sprinkle it on the world.

A sudden heavy snowfall made the first Lantern Festival in the history of Daqin extraordinarily different.

Since Hu Hai ascended the throne, since the success of worshipping the heavens and praying for rain, it seems that even God is different from the original, and has begun to take special care of Daqin, and favor the tens of millions of Daqin Li people who desperately want to live a peaceful life.

In the past two years, except for the great drought in 51 years, whether it was Guanzhong or Shandong, Shanxi, Jiangnan, Jiangbei, and even several counties in Nanyue, the wind and rain were smooth, and there was no waterlogging or drought.

The Yellow River and the Yangtze River, which are constantly flowing, have also become exceptionally docile in the past two years, and there have been no large-scale breaches even during the flood season. Except for the three days of torrential rain in the summer of '52, which caused some breaches in several dangerous shoals in the Yangtze and Yellow rivers, there was not a single rudimentary embankment in danger.

Fortunately, Hu Hai had already prepared, and the captured 300,000 Xiang Liang troops surrendered, and after building and improving the roads destroyed by Xiang Liang's army in the four counties of Chenjun, Dangjun, Surabaya, and Dongjun, 200,000 people rushed to the only few dangerous shoals in the two major rivers of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River to flood control and block the embankments. So at the beginning of the heavy rains, a large number of sandbags and masonry have been prepared near several dangerous shoals for emergency needs.

Hu Hai's biggest concern was the diversion of the Yellow River and the bursting of the Yangtze River without any dams once heavy rains fell. This will be a heavy blow to Daqin, who is recuperating.

Fortunately, Tiangong is still beautiful, and there is no such thing as what Hu Hai is most worried about.

The only remaining 100,000 troops in Chu are now following Shangfang Mojia craftsmen to explore the terrain of the Huai River in the Huai River. Reinforcement of dikes. The first bridge connecting the two banks of the Huai River will be able to start construction this year.

With the experience of harnessing the Huai River, coupled with the accumulation of technology to build bridges on the Huai River, it will be much easier to build dams on the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, which far exceed the Huai River in terms of flow and width, and it is not impossible to build bridges.

Hu Hai never underestimated the wisdom of the Chinese ancestors. And he was convinced that he would live to see that day appear.

The wind and rain for more than a year, coupled with the heavy snow this time, all indicate that the fifty-third year of the Great Qin calendar will be a good year, at least for now. Under the premise that Hu Hai has reduced the world's taxes for three consecutive years, the people's lives will be better than in 52 years.

Ruixue Zhaofeng year, this is the best gift from God to Daqin.

Black is the color of the Great Qin State, as the main color of all large buildings in Xianyang and even Guanzhong. With the white snow and silver makeup that has wrapped the entire Xianyang and Guanzhong, it looks particularly solemn and solemn on this snowy night.

In Xianyang City, countless lanterns made by Shang Fang according to the style drawn by Hu Hai on the streets of Xianyang City have been hung on the streets and alleys of Xianyang City by special people as early as the fourteenth night of the first lunar month.

The shore of the Orchid Pond in front of the Orchid Pond Palace, including the Orchid Pond, is also filled with all kinds of lanterns, under the boundless snow. It's even more dreamlike.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the sky is not dark, countless lanterns of all sizes hanging on the trees or hanging under the eaves have been lit, falling from the sky without stopping the goose feathers and heavy snow against the soft or orange, or red lights, tonight's Xianyang City is destined to be a city that never sleeps.

On the square of Xianyang Palace, it is covered with lanterns of various shapes that are small and the size of a palm, and even a few zhang and even ** zhang.

Of all the lanterns that appeared all over Xianyang City, Hu Hai only provided the simplest style. With the ideas provided by Hu Hai, coupled with the countless materials that Shangfang has, and of course the most important thing is paper, the rest of the lanterns are made by Shangfang craftsmen using their imagination.

Among the countless lanterns of different styles that dot the Xianyang Palace Square. Nine lanterns stand out. Among them, the six lanterns are in six shapes, including a dragon, a phoenix, a red bird, a Xuanwu, and two tigers with different appearances and wings.

Obviously, these six lanterns were made by borrowing the logos of the emperor's five descendant armies, the White Tiger, the Green Dragon, the Vermilion Bird, the Xuanwu Army, and the Tiger Ben Army.

The remaining three lanterns standing in the center of the six lanterns are all nine zhang high, and the three huge lanterns are Xuanniao, the Heroic Martyr's Tower, and an unusually huge map of Daqin!

The Xuanniao lantern is very lifelike; On the nine-zhang tall model of the Heroic Pagoda made entirely of bamboo and paper, each layer is covered with countless lanterns in the shape of Qin soldiers wearing armor but exuding a misty light, who are the pillars of Great Qin.

The most eye-catching thing should be the huge Daqin map lantern in the center, which is nine zhang high and six zhang wide. Each county was pasted with a different color of paper. It shines with a different kind of light, and it is especially eye-catching.

No doubt. The Martyr's Tower Lantern and the Map Lantern are both things made up by Hu Hai. Obviously, the craftsmen of Shangfang faithfully carried out Hu Hai's requirements, and the results were far beyond Hu Hai's expectations.

It was not dark, and countless Xianyang people, including those who came to Xianyang from various counties in Guanzhong, had already gone out and started to enjoy the lanterns! Countless nobles of the family and the sons and ladies of the rich families in Xianyang City also walked out of the mansion in groups of three or five to have fun with the people.

The students of the Miscellaneous College of the Great Qin Royal Academy also set up a stage on the Xianyang Palace Square and performed for the first time in their lives. Haiyou, Jiaoyu, foot play, juggling, etc., take turns to play, from time to time to attract bursts of cheers from the onlookers.

Countless children are running carefree in the snow, fighting snowball fights, and their delicate voices penetrate the snow tombs and echo in the nightless night sky of Xianyang City.

Walking on the avenue in front of Xianyang Palace Square, Hu Hai looked at the people who were smiling and full of spirit when they went out to enjoy the lights under the heavy snow, and the sound of snow fell silently in their ears, listening to the cheerful calls of the children, and suddenly felt unprecedented satisfaction in their hearts.

After eating the Daqin version of the Lantern Festival with Li Yan, Concubine Li, and Yu Ji, Hu Hai left the palace. Although the girls all wanted to go out with the emperor to visit Xianyang City at night and enjoy the lanterns, because even they heard in the palace that the emperor had prepared lanterns all over the city for this first Lantern Festival.

However, the women are all pot-bellied, so naturally they can't travel. So it was still Hu Hai who pretended to be out of the palace alone, of course, Hu Hai was indispensable to Long Bing and Long Xue, two delicate twin sisters.

ps: Brother Fengxue, long time no see. I just suddenly saw that Brother Feng Xue is back again, and I will add a new chapter for you tomorrow! That is, I still owe more than eighteen chapters!
