He asked gently, "Why do you suddenly want to go out to sea?"

Xiao Hanyi replied truthfully: "I also long to see the outside world. Not only do I want to go out to sea, I also want to travel around Daliang and visit the Western Regions and other places."

He had heard a lot about things outside and had an urge to go out and take a look.

The reason why I waited until the imperial examination was over was because I wanted to give an explanation to my family and myself.

If Liang Youxiao didn't go out to sea again, he also wanted to ask his brother to go to other places in Daliang.

Xiao Hanzheng sighed and asked, "Are you sure you have thought it through?"

"Although Liang Youxiao had great success during his two trips to the sea, he also encountered many dangers. He often walked on the edge of a knife and could lose his life if he was not careful."

"There are powerful pirates on the sea, and the natives in some places are also hostile to outsiders."

"If you want to go out to sea, you must be prepared to lose your life at any time."

He is not a dictator. Although he respects his brother's choice, he still wants him to understand the dangers of going out to sea.

If you still insist on doing this, then he won't object. After all, everyone is responsible for his own life.

He cannot impose his own ideas on his younger brother just because he is his brother's older brother. This is not allowed and that is not allowed.

Having lived many more lives, Xiao Hanzheng is more open-minded in this regard.

Xiao Hanyi was not an impulsive person. He nodded and said, "I know it's dangerous. I've consulted Brother Xiao recently."

“But I still want to go and see it.”

"After returning, I probably won't go out to sea again. Instead, I'll travel around Daliang and then go to the Western Regions."

He has little interest in being an official.

Now that his mother, brother and sister all have their own families and are living happily, he can do whatever he wants without any burden.

Xiao Hanzheng was silent for a moment, then he spoke: "Okay, I respect your decision."

"But it's okay to go out to sea, but you must be fully prepared."

When the child grows up and wants to fly, you can't break his wings. What else can you do? You can only let him learn to fly and soar by himself.

Xiao Hanyi smiled with relief, "Don't worry, brother. I will be well prepared and come back alive."

He naturally hoped that his brother would agree.

If his brother disagrees, he will not go against his brother's wishes, and he knows that his brother is doing it for his own good, but he will still feel regretful.

Soon everyone else knew that Xiao Hanyi was going to go out to sea with Liang Youxiao.

Although Kong Yuelan was worried, she also respected her son's choice.

Life is much better now than in the village. The second son even almost died once. So why not let him do what he wants? Life is short, enjoy it while you can. She doesn't want to tie her son down with family affection.

Liang Yulin knew that going out to sea was dangerous, but his wife and eldest son agreed, so he couldn't object.

I can only help my second son prepare more things for going out to sea.

Shi Qingluo was the least surprised person that Xiao Hanyi was going to go out to sea.

Because Liang Youxiao had studied foreign languages ​​with her in Beicheng before, as well as some foreign etiquette, Xiao Hanyi would often come along to learn.

When Taoist Changqing went to travel to the Western Regions, Xiao Hanyi's eyes were full of envy.

Xiao Hanyi seems to be the most well-behaved and sensible one in the family, but he has his own persistence and preferences in his heart.

She supported this, so before Xiao Hanyi left, she asked him to come to her every day and taught him more foreign languages ​​and etiquette.

There is also some foreign knowledge and safety measures that she knows.

Besides that, Xiao Hanzheng would encourage his younger brother to practice martial arts more intensively every day to make his body stronger and his martial arts more advanced, so that at least he would have no problem saving his life if he encountered danger.

Xiao Hanzheng also purchased a lot of medicinal herbs and made a lot of pills and powders for his brother.

There are medicines for detoxification, treating colds, reducing fever and clearing fire, treating seasickness, stopping bleeding and reducing inflammation, etc.

More than two months later, Liang Youxiao took Xiao Hanyi and others to leave the capital and go out to sea again.

This time we were better prepared and replaced with several larger and more familiar ships, which increased the safety factor.

The Liang family prepared a lot of things for Xiao Hanyi and even sent him to the gate of the capital.

The family returned home only after watching the carriage gradually turn into a small black dot and disappear.

After returning, Shi Qingluo smiled and asked Xiao Hanzheng: "If my second brother also brings a foreign wife back like Liang Youxiao, will you accept it?"

Xiao Hanzheng laughed: "I've already let him go to sea, so I can naturally accept him finding a foreign wife."

If there was a foreign brother or sister, he might find it a bit strange, but it would be acceptable.

His younger brother looks well-behaved and sensible, but in fact he is quite rebellious at heart.

It is really possible that he could bring back a foreign sister-in-law.

Shi Qingluo chuckled: "It would be nice to have a foreign brother or sister. The mixed-blood baby born in the future should be very beautiful."

Xiao Hanzheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You think too far ahead."

The greater possibility is that the younger brother will come back to find a wife.

The two chatted for a while, and Xiao Hanzheng said, "By the way, the emperor agreed to your previous suggestion."

Previously, my wife suggested that a zoo could be built in the capital, and the animals Liang Youxiao brought could be raised in the zoo, and some local animals from Daliang could also be added.

Then sell tickets, which will not only increase the Ministry of Revenue's income, but also provide the capital with another place to have fun.

He also discovered that his two children and younger brother wanted to go to the palace to see the animals every few days.

I believe other children like it as well. Happiness is better shared with others than enjoyed alone.

After the emperor saw the animals several times, he lost interest in them.

Not only is it troublesome to keep it in the palace, but it also requires a lot of people to take care of it, which costs money.

It would be better to set up a so-called zoo to make money and satisfy people's curiosity to see rare animals.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

She asked, "The task of building a zoo has fallen on you again?"

Xiao Hanzheng held her in his arms, "My wife came up with the idea, so this task naturally fell on me."

This is naturally a good thing for him. If it is built and done well, it will be a political achievement.

Shi Qingluo hugged his waist and said, "This is a great relationship! I'll give you some advice for your reference."

Xiao Hanzheng chuckled: "It's a must."

So in the following period of time, in addition to being busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Households, Xiao Hanzheng also had the task of building a zoo.

Everyone in the capital, whether the dignitaries or the common people, had heard that Xiao Hanzheng was going to build a zoo.

All the rare animals imported from overseas, as well as many local animals that no one has ever seen, are raised in the zoo.

Then anyone who wants to see it can go in and see it as long as they pay for a ticket.

It's the same as going to the theater to watch a play.

This made everyone very supportive. After all, before, even if the powerful and wealthy wanted to see these animals, it was impossible for them to go to the palace to see them, let alone the common people.

Now you can watch it as long as you pay, and everyone is looking forward to it.

Xiao Hanzheng never concealed the fact that this idea came from his wife, and he often mentioned it to others proudly.

Therefore, many ministers privately sighed that Lord Liang really married a good wife.
