The zoo is located on the outskirts of Beijing and can be reached in less than half an hour by carriage from the capital.

The zoo is very large and comprehensive.

Not only are the animals divided into different parks, there are also many play facilities and dozens of restaurants and snacks.

The zoo was established and opened in about a year, and it was overcrowded on the first day.

Not only the young masters and ladies of the noble families invited them to play, but ordinary people who were willing to spend money also couldn't help but join in the fun.

The experience feels natural and the response is very good.

After all, this is the first zoo in ancient times, and everyone is seeing it for the first time.

The people had a great time, and the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs also smiled when they saw the income from tickets every day.

You have to pay for the recreational facilities separately. For example, children can ride a pony around the racecourse twice for 20 cents each time. Standing near the animals can let a professional draw a picture for 30 cents, etc.

In addition, the dozens of restaurants and snacks are also opened by the household department, so the daily profits are huge.

Not long after the zoo opened, the Minister of Revenue fell seriously ill and passed away early.

Xiao Hanzheng was promoted by the emperor without any surprise.

He also became the youngest first-rank minister in Daliang.

However, because he has so many political achievements, his abilities are outstanding, he maintains good interpersonal relationships in the household department, and he has a powerful stepfather, so there is no controversy.

Sitting in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Xiao Hanzheng worked with the Ministry of Industry to carry out many changes and established several crafts colleges in other places to encourage everyone to create inventions.

As long as the invention is useful or recognized, you can get a reward.

Many welfare homes, shelters and enlightenment schools with low fees have also been established across the country.

The joint breeding and planting methods that have been successful in northern Xinjiang will be promoted in other parts of the country.

It also promoted many policies that benefited the country and the people, and also allowed the Ministry of Household Affairs to split one penny into two cents to spend, and the national treasury became very full.

Now that the state treasury has money, it is natural that cement roads should be built, and cement flood control dams or water storage reservoirs should be built.

Therefore, Xiao Hanzheng's position as Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is more stable, and his official reputation among the people is very good.

Another six months later, Liang Youxiao and other people who went to sea came back again.

There were hundreds of family members who went there together, but only a few dozen people came back. Obviously, although going to sea was hugely profitable, the risks were not small.

Liang Youxiao had said in advance when he left that he was responsible for his own life and death, and also told the people who wanted to go there about the dangers involved.

The emperor also asked them to confirm before going, so as not to cause trouble again if someone died.

Therefore, if someone in the family has not returned, even if he feels sad and angry, he can only endure it.

However, because Liang Youxiao and others brought back more treasures and a high-yielding sweet potato grain, they achieved great success.

So even if half of the people who went this time lost their money, there would still be more people tempted to follow next time.

Xiao Hanzheng was greatly relieved when he saw his younger brother among the returning crowd.

For more than a year, my family has always been concerned about my younger brother.

My mother, daughter-in-law and sister go to the temple to pray for my brother every month.

Xiao Hanyi not only came back alive, but also brought back a foreign wife, as Shi Qingluo said.

He looked completely different from before he went out.

Not to mention that he looks more handsome and mature, but the key is that his temperament has changed a lot.

He used to be gentle and handsome, but now he looks like a sharp blade that can be unsheathed at any time, with a kind of sharpness in his stability.

The fair skin has also been tanned to a bronze color, and there is a not very obvious knife mark on the face.

The foreign daughter-in-law he brought back was wearing a tight-fitting women's riding suit. She had bright red natural curly hair and blue eyes. She was bright, generous and sexy.

Shi Qingluo was surprised. He didn't expect his second brother to like this type of woman.

When I went back and asked, I found out that this Western beauty had an extraordinary identity. She was born into a royal court and was a favored princess.

Perhaps they were teased by Shi Qingluo in advance and had some mental preparation, so both Xiao Hanzheng and his wife, as well as Kong Yuelan and his wife, quickly accepted the foreign wife brought back by Xiao Hanyi.

A wedding date was also set for the two of them.

Xiao Hanzheng asked his younger brother: "You won't go to sea recently, right?"

Xiao Hanyi nodded, "I won't go out for the time being. I plan to take Gilina to travel around Daliang. She likes to travel around and have adventures."

"My sister and brother-in-law said they also want to go with us."

My sister and brother-in-law have long planned to go out for fun, so they have never had children.

When I heard they were going, we hit it off immediately.

Xiao Hanzheng said with a smile: "The great rivers and mountains in Daliang are very vast. You might as well walk more."

He asked again: "Are you going after the wedding?"

Xiao Hanyi nodded, "Yes, that's our plan."

He said with some regret: "It's a pity that you are too busy, brother. Otherwise, you can go out with your sister-in-law."

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said: "I would like to take leave to accompany your sister-in-law to play everywhere, but the emperor does not agree."

He had tried to ask for leave last time, but was rejected by the emperor.

“Let’s go again if we have a chance in the future.”

One day, he will accompany his wife and children to play everywhere.

Three months later, Xiao Hanyi got married.

Half a month after getting married, Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi were ready to go on a trip.

In addition to the four people, King Yi also followed with his wife.

He doesn't have many political affairs now. It's not that the emperor brother doesn't give it, but that he has shied away from it all.

It's great to have King Xian in front of you. Who wants to work so hard to do so many things?

In the past, he had to help the emperor because of internal and external troubles. Now the world is at peace, the beams are getting stronger and stronger, and there are many capable people in the court.

If he had time to work, he might as well spend more time with his wife and son.

Because the youngest son was only three years old and was not suitable for traveling long distances, the irresponsible father left him directly in the care of his elder brother and sister-in-law.

Then King Yi ran away with his eldest daughter, second son and his family.

The emperor was speechless towards his younger brother who was becoming more and more childish, but he had no choice.

Xiao Hanzheng was also quite helpless. The entire family had gone to play, and only the couple was left to take care of the baby.

He felt very guilty towards his young wife because of this, but he was really busy with official duties and couldn't leave her.

Shi Qingluo was considerate and comforted, "I'm not very interested in going around, so you don't have to feel guilty."

She was telling the truth. Traveling in ancient times was very inconvenient. It took a long time to ride a carriage to get to a place. It was bumpy all the way and it was not comfortable at all.

So if she goes, she will be happy, and if she doesn't go, she won't be disappointed.

Xiao Hanzheng hugged her tightly and said, "Madam, you are so kind!"

Fast forward two years, when the twins were more than seven years old, one day Shi Qing fell into the yard to enjoy the shade, then fell asleep and fell into darkness.

I don't know how long it took before she walked out of the darkness.

Then she found herself in a ward. What surprised her even more was that there was a person lying on the bed in the ward, who was none other than her modern self.

Is she back?
