Chapter 672: The Zoo


Under Wei Ziyou's high opinion, Qiao Zhiqing finally made up his mind and cheapened these soldiers who were fighting overseas.He handed over the specific operating rules of this matter to the Ministry of National Defense to formulate, and after receiving this proposal, all the generals of the Ministry of National Defense held a special meeting to discuss it.This is the first time in Chinese history that such a thing can be discussed on the table.China is deeply influenced by Confucianism, including Qiao Zhiqing, who is unconsciously constrained by Confucianism no matter what he looks at.Confucianism pays attention to preserving heavenly principles and destroying people's desires.At all times, it is an advocacy to preserve the heavenly principles in the heart and destroy people.In all the wars waged in history, each time it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that a division is famous.There has never been a time like now, the purpose of the war, Chiguoguo's is for profit, and he has not done anything to cover it up.Therefore, when China was strong, it did not arbitrarily infringe on the interests of other countries.All foreign wars are counterattacks launched as a last resort.Moreover, after the victory, they all maintained the demeanor of a great power, and did not let the defeated countries compensate for their losses.Therefore, every war consumes a lot of national strength and will not produce any benefits.According to the general advocated by Confucianism, this great power demeanor is the principle of heaven.I beat you, but you didn't obey the principles of heaven, not because of my human desires.If I take your place, enslave your people, and plunder your wealth, it will be against the principles of heaven.This kind of thinking has a far-reaching influence and directly determines China's conservative and modest-minded character.At that time, Zheng He's ocean-going fleet was the most powerful fleet in the world.But except for the majesty of the emperor and the return of some rare beasts, flowers and plants, nothing has been achieved.On the contrary, the small countries of Europe were able to plunder the wealth of their own countries all over the world with just a few broken ships.This is because they recognize that all actions in the human heart are based on real interests.Instead of doing some thankless face-saving projects for the sake of natural principles, like China.The reason why Qiao Zhiqing made this decision was also to further break the shackles of Confucianism.Admit what is in people's hearts, no longer slap their swollen faces and become fat, and everything is based on realistic interests.In the words of ordinary people, it is not to do things that do not make money.After a day of discussion, the Ministry of National Defense finally decided to follow the strategy implemented in Japan and allow the Huaxing Army to set up women's condolence organizations in overseas colonies and recruit local women to serve the Huaxing Army.According to the intensity of labor, Huaxingjun uniformly pays these women a salary that must not be lower than the average local wage.They are also provided with free medical examinations on a regular basis, and these women are not allowed to be abused by coercion.If something happens that causes death, everything will be handled in accordance with military discipline.After Qiao Zhiqing approved it, he notified the whole army of the resolution of the Ministry of National Defense.All the states, except Japan, are envious.They have written to the Ministry of Defense and asked to participate in the war against India.The Ministry of Defense criticized them by name and told them to strictly grasp military training and not to think about things that are unreliable all day long.Because the resolution is limited to overseas colonies, it is currently not applicable anywhere except Japan and India.The Commonwealth of Japan, which was originally a member of the Federal Republic of China, not an overseas colony, did not apply to this resolution.But because the history is already there, it goes on as usual and is not restricted.On the day when the Indian elephants entered Beijing, the streets and alleys were crowded with people, and the people gathered to watch.Deng Zhou was eager to bring back all the elephants, which were fully loaded with more than 100 elephants.With such a large elephant herd entering Beijing, it is difficult not to cause a sensation.After urgent consultations, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry consulted Qiao Zhiqing to build a zoo in the "Sanbeizi Garden" in the western suburbs of Beijing.Then collect some rare animals from various states and countries for the people to visit and play.Qiao Zhiqing didn't know where it was suitable, but he chose the location of the Beijing Zoo in the future."

Sanbeizi Garden" is the third son of the Manchu lord Fu Heng, the private garden of Fukang An Beizi, which belonged to the royal manor in the Ming Dynasty.Located in the suburbs of Beijing, it is not secluded, the air is fresh, and the transportation is convenient.It covers an area of 100 hectares and is divided into two parts: "Leshan Garden" in the east and "Keyuan" in the west.Finally, after field surveys, the "Leshan Garden" in the east was rebuilt into a zoo, and the "Keyuan" in the west was rebuilt into a botanical garden.Not only will the zoo start collecting exotic animals, but the botanical garden will also collect exotic plants from all over the world for planting.Because the infrastructure of the entire garden is complete, it only took more than a month to complete the renovation.Elephants brought back from India have also been successfully settled, and the zoo has hired Manchu royal veterinarians to feed them.Where have the people of the capital seen such a rare thing, and on the day the zoo opened, tens of thousands of people visited.The first three days of the park are free, and after three days, admission fees will be charged according to the standards of the Forbidden City.Wei Ziyou has been clamoring to see the elephant since the first day it entered Beijing, and the ladies and children in the house heard about this rare thing, and they also clamored for Qiao Zhiqing to accompany them to the zoo to visit.Qiao Zhiqing had no choice but to take advantage of the evening to take the whole family to the zoo to play.During the day, the zoo is crowded, and the president is not an ordinary person, so it will inevitably be a little inconvenient to show up with such a large family.The people stopped looking at the elephants, and all turned their heads to look at their family.If the zoo is temporarily closed and enjoys the privilege, it will inevitably disappoint the people, and Qiao Zhiqing does not want to set a precedent for this privilege.Whoever wants to see the garden closes, then this zoo is simply open to the official.The zoo opens at 8 a.m. and closes at 6 p.m.Qiao Zhiqing and his family gathered at seven o'clock, and there were eight married wives and six second daughters.plus Min Ziying, who has not passed the door, her goddaughter Li Yueru, and her secretary Wei Ziyou, can completely put together a women's football team.These women are all peerless, and they are all in love.In terms of figure, in terms of face, all of them are impeccable.This time they got together, so that the night became brighter, and they almost blinded the eyes of the soldiers.They were secretly having fun, and in private they were arguing about which lady was the best-looking and which was the gentleest, and they were envious of their president.Everyone thought about how to make a great contribution and let Qiao Zhiqing find them such a beautiful daughter-in-law.This matter is not without precedent, Qiao Zhiqing originally married the twin sister's Ling'er to Huang Feihong, but it became a good story among the soldiers.Wang Wuke didn't have this spare time, so he didn't dare to be careless about this trip, and removed a battalion of personal guards from the presidential palace.Huang Feihong was also notified to ask the Beijing Praetorian Guards to strengthen their vigilance, and to deploy control in the western suburbs, temporarily blocking all intersections through the zoo.Of course, Qiao Zhiqing didn't know these things.At night, there were few people and cars in the western suburbs, and he couldn't see it.At this time, the western suburbs had already begun to develop, and there were houses under construction all along the way.Because of the influx of displaced people into the capital, the population of Beijing has now grown to more than one million.Qiao Zhiqing looked at the scenery outside in the car window, and felt a little sense of accomplishment in his heart.When the capital was first moved to Beijing, the road was full of wilderness, and there was not even a ghost to see.In fact, the common people ask for very little, a house, a bite of food is enough.His life is also this hard life, for the simple dream of the people, it is worth dying of exhaustion."

Father, is the elephant very big" "Father, can elephants bite" "Father, can elephants fly"" "Qiao Zhiqing and the children rode in a carriage, except for the Chinese New Year, he and the little ones have never been so reunited.These dumb-headed guys are now in the stage of babbling, chattering and arguing all the way, almost not making Qiao Zhiqing's head bigger.Qiao Zhiqing couldn't enjoy this kind of family fun, and finally understood what it meant to be difficult to raise children, so he hurriedly handed over these little guys to their mother as soon as he got out of the carriage.His ladies were at last at ease, and where would they listen to him, they slipped away together as soon as they got out of the carriage, and at last he had to take the little ones to play.Today, the land in Beijing is not as expensive as that of later generations, and the zoo is very large, with an area of hundreds of hectares.Because it has just been established, the treasure of the town garden is not other than elephants, and there are no other rare animals.Li Song, the newly appointed director of the zoo, in order to make up the numbers.For the time being, I found some horses, donkeys, sheep, cows, camels, and monkeys for everyone to visit.These things are not unfamiliar to people nowadays, and everyone is not interested, so they go directly to the park where the elephants are.Li Song personally served as a guide, although he and Wu Song were only one word apart, but he did not rely on the ability to kill tigers to serve as the head of the park.The reason why he was able to apply for this position was entirely because his ancestors were all horse breeders for the royal family, and he had a good skill as a veterinarian.No matter what disease the horse has, he can cure it by looking, touching, and listening.It is with this skill that he stands out from the crowd of applicants.But after all, this thing is an elephant, not a horse.The work of raising elephants was handed over to captives from India.These captives were pardoned by Qiao Zhiqing on the day they entered Beijing, and they became keepers in the zoo with peace of mind, and each of them also got a piece of real estate, which is much better than the life in India.The zoo is lit up all over the place, and the moonlight is pleasant, so the night is no different from the day, on the contrary, there is a touch of tranquility.When the Indian breeders drove the elephants out, all the women and children were amazed at the growth of their mouths, and it was the first time they had seen such a large and strange animal.Min Ziying's troublemaker was even more restless than the little guy, if Qiao Zhiqing hadn't found out in time, she would have taken Xiaoru's hand and had to go to the railing to turn over, trying what it was like to sit on an elephant.Qiao Zhiqing couldn't be idle at all night, either taking care of the eldest children or taking care of the younger children, when the family returned to the presidential palace, he was almost tired and lay down, and secretly said that he would never go out with these women in the future
