The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1488
At the beginning of December, the minister of the Ministry of Construction went to the Imperial Study to report that the animal and botanical gardens had been preliminarily completed.

Zhao Dongting immediately ordered that all the animals and plants that General Zhao put in the barracks be transported to the zoo and botanical garden.

Even two months ago, he had already recruited animal trainers from the people, as well as strange people who were proficient in planting vegetation.

But during the past few months, some animals and plants still died and withered due to unacceptable water and soil or climate problems, which made Zhao Dongting a little heartbroken.

In just a few days, the Flying Dragon Army transported the animals and plants in the camp to zoos and botanical gardens.

Cars and horses pass through the streets of Changsha every day, in an endless stream.

This is advertising at its best.

After Zhao Dongting asked the governor of Changsha to post a notice in the city, the news about the zoo and the botanical garden spread in Changsha city.

For these people who have never been out of the Song Dynasty in this life, these are all rare and exotic beasts.

On the day the park opened, Zhao Dongting went there in person.Later, after he visited the zoo and the botanical garden with his daughters and children, these two ornamental gardens destined to have cross-age significance officially opened their doors to the people of Changsha.

Zhao Dongting did not break his promise, saying that the finance department would recover the cost quickly, and it did.

Zoos and botanical gardens charge tickets, not many, just dozens of copper coins.This is nothing to the Changsha people who are living affluent lives today.

Roughly speaking, it's just two days' expenses for an ordinary family.To see so many exotic animals, no one would be reluctant to spend this little money.

A few days before the opening of the park, the zoo and the botanical garden were full of tourists.

It is said that the copper plates they collected were all transported to the finance department by horse-drawn carriage.

Zhu Haiwang laughed from ear to ear in the office of the Ministry of Finance.

Although it was true that the zoo and botanical garden had been built at the beginning, it was true that the tax revenues from various places in the Song Dynasty had just been sent to the imperial city recently, and that cost had already been made up for.More importantly, if this momentum continues, the finance department may be able to recover the cost in only three to five months.

Zhu Haiwang, who had gradually moved closer to Chen Jianghan, couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, and admired Zhao Dongting so much.

And these two gardens have also opened the eyes of the people in Changsha City.

Their propaganda and bragging do not require the court to advertise for it.Gradually, people from all over the world came here admiringly.

The two parks are full of tourists every day.

As the oiran conference was approaching, bees and butterflies swarmed in, and students from all over the country rushed to Changsha to prepare for the imperial examination. It was even more lively and became a small cornucopia of the Ministry of Finance.

After discussion by the central cabinet, it was Zhu Haiwang's turn to be the chief examiner of the imperial examination today.For him, this is even more joyful.

The other end of the world.

North America.

There are more than a dozen warships docking on the blue-blue coast.

On the shore, there were already armored Song soldiers waiting in line.Afterwards, you can even see a few Indians who look very different, but also stand upright.

As the naval battleship with the big flag drew near, some soldiers erected the bridge deck, and such a shout sounded from the shore: "Welcome to the Lord Navigator!"

A fairy-like woman in a purple dress slowly walked out of the cabin.

When she just appeared, she amazed everyone and made many soldiers look shocked.

Yu Linglong's body and face are plump compared to when she left Changsha, but they are still beautiful.

She waved her hand lazily, and said, "All the officers and men should be excused..."

Then look at the green mountains in the distance.

The mountains are still the same mountains, and the trees are still the same trees, but the environment here is really quite different from those in Song Dynasty and Australia.

Yu Linglong looked down at her slightly swollen belly again, with a smile on her lips.

She yearns for freedom, but free people are often lonely.Perhaps, with this child by her side in the future, she would not be so lonely.

And her sudden beautiful smile made all the soldiers look amazed.

Although there were official ships that landed first, saying that the former Australian ambassador Yu Linglong had served as the nautical ambassador, and some of them knew Yu Linglong's name, but they didn't expect Yu Linglong to be so powerful.

When they went out to sea on Haojing Island before, most of them couldn't see Yu Linglong's face among the crowd.

After the officials and soldiers of each ship got off the ship one after another, Yu Linglong and her group were guarded by the soldiers and headed for Song Dynasty City.

Sea warships head to port.

The Great Song City in North America is the fastest growing, and now it has become a gathering place for tens of thousands of people.

Yu Linglong kept looking at the surrounding scenery along the way.

It took two days to travel from the sea to Dasong City.

She found that occasionally aboriginal people passing by in groups would take the initiative to step aside and bow to the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty.

This made her a little confused, and then she understood after the explanation of the Deputy Navigation Ambassador who had followed Wu Sanhai to North America before.Because they brought many technologies such as planting and smelting techniques of the Great Song Dynasty, many tribes around the city of the Great Song Dynasty have gradually become familiar with the technique of planting, and they no longer can only rely on hunting for a living as before. Life, coupled with the ability of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty to fight well, the Great Song City has become an unshakable city in a large area around it, so most of these indigenous people have respect for the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty.

They are not as savage as imagined.

After arriving in the city of Song Dynasty, the architectural layout is not much different from that of the Song Dynasty.

Bluestone paved streets, black tiles, white walls.

Many people on the street are wearing Da Song costumes.

Yu Linglong even saw members of the sailing team lead their wives from other countries across the street.

Although here, most of the city is aboriginal, but its atmosphere is very similar to that of Song Dynasty.

The civilization of the Great Song Dynasty really took root here.

Just wait for more and more people from Da Song to come here, or these nautical team members who came here first are getting old here, and this place will gradually develop into a new Da Song...

In South America, Australia, and Africa, although the Great Song City is not as lively as the Great Song City in North America, it is not far away.

Wu Amiao and the others were on the way and stayed in the imperial city for more than a year. Now that they returned to the Great Song City, earth-shaking changes had taken place in the city.

……

Changsha.

The oiran meeting has arrived.

This grand event began to ferment in Changsha city as early as half a month ago.

The city of Changsha is another bustling scene.

Many people gather in zoos, botanical gardens, or along the Xiangshui River.

Zhao Dongting didn't have too many things to deal with in the palace, and couldn't bear the pleas of the girls and Zhao An and Zhao Ru, so he took them out of the palace in low clothes.

Tianfang, Le Wuhui, Qingshan and others in Wudingtang in the palace are still accompanying them.

First, I took Zhao An and Zhao Ru to visit the zoo and the botanical garden respectively, allowing the two little guys to relive the old places.When we came out, it was almost dark.

Zhao Dongting took everyone to Guanchao Inn.

Still that boy.

He actually still remembered Zhao Dongting, a big customer who spent a lot of money, and when he saw Zhao Dongting arrive, he was so enthusiastic.

It's still the private room.

But in the private room, Zhao Dongting did not see the old man and the girl again.

He asked the boy, "Where are the grandparents and grandchildren singing here?"

The servant sighed softly, and said: "Young Master, I don't know. The old man passed away two months ago. The little girl has never been here again."

Zhao Dongting couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, "Why did you die so well?"

He thought that the old man and the little girl could live a slightly happier life, but he never thought that the seemingly healthy old man would die as soon as he said he was going to die.

This is really life is impermanent, heaven and earth are ruthless.

"acute disease."

The servant replied: "That day he took his granddaughter to sing and left shortly before he suddenly collapsed on the street. Alas, we were the ones who helped him to bury him afterwards."

"Have a heart."

Zhao Dongting sighed softly, "Since then, you haven't seen that little girl? Do you know where she went?"

The boy shook his head lightly.

"Ugh……"

Zhao Dongting sighed again and waved his hands, "Thank you very much, you can go down..."

I was in a good mood at first, but because of this incident, it will inevitably be a lot lower.Everything can't go as expected, even for him, the emperor.
