As a result of his victory in the war against Japan in Shandong, Yan Shao not only recovered a large number of rights and interests that originally belonged to China, but also gained great prestige. was originally a very stable position, but now it is as stable as Mount Tai.

On the other hand, the huge benefits gained by the war have also been very satisfying to all parties.

On the government's side, the victory in the war brought great prestige, and most of this prestige certainly fell on Yan Shao, as some officials and gentry and celebrities said, this war could only be won under the leadership of Yan Shao. Yan Shao knew this, but he still accepted these words with a 'haha' laugh.

On the one hand, such words are indeed pleasant, and on the other hand, they are not unreasonable.

After all, it is very clear how Yan Shao is in history China, if there is no Yan Shao, I am afraid that China at this time is still the Beiyang government, and Yuan Shikai, the leader of the Beiyang government, will be in the position of a neutral person as in history when Japan and Germany are at war―――――― and there is a war on their own land, but as the master, he has to be a neutral, what could be funnier than this?

So when he accepted these words, Yan Shaozhi was not polite at all, because he had a clear conscience.

However, although most of the credit goes to Yan Shao, it's always okay for a small part to fall on others, right? For example, Li Liang, Xu Shichang and others who worked in the rear, or Cai Yi, Jiang Baili and others who commanded operations on the front line.

In particular, Cai Ye and Jiang Baili, as commanders of the front line. After their victory, both men gained considerable prestige. Originally, there were still many people in the army who were not convinced by the two of them, but after this battle, they also became much more convinced.

Having said that, Cai Ye and Jiang Baili didn't feel that there was anything to be complacent. After all, in this battle, whether in terms of weapons and equipment, troops, logistics, geographical advantages, etc., the Wehrmacht was superior to the Japanese army, only the combat ability of the soldiers was slightly worse, but none of the above can make up for this gap.

With so many advantages, it would be too strange if they couldn't win, so Cai Ye and Jiang Baili felt that they had nothing to be proud of.

There are usually only two things that people in the world want, fame and fortune...

Generally speaking. People either seek fame or profit, of course. There are also those who don't want either, but if you look at the world, the number of such people may not be much more than that of giant pandas.

Although most of the fame after the victory of this war fell on Yan Shao, it was for those who pursued fame. The little that was left was enough for them to be satisfied.

As for the pro...

Yan Shaoke has never been a stingy person. Almost all those who have made meritorious contributions in this war have been promoted. Of course, Yan Shao did not forget to punish those who made mistakes, such as some profiteers who took advantage of the war in Shandong to raise prices, or those who used shoddy goods when providing food, medicine and other things to the army, and of course, there were also some traitors who did not know the times and actually sold information to the Japanese―――――― latter mainly appeared in the early days of the war. In the later period, after the Japanese defeat appeared. There are very few.

However, there are some gamblers who still bet on the Japanese, and of course, such people usually lose badly.

According to Yan Shao's order, all the people who caused trouble during the war were severely punished, and even the lightest one was sentenced to 20 years...

――――――――――――――――――――

In one part of the city of Beijing, many people were lining up to walk to a place surrounded by an iron fence. There are children and old people in the queue, and of course there are some young and middle-aged people―――――― so it seems a bit nonsense?

All in all, there are almost all human beings of all ages, except for the newborn.

And their purpose is very simple, that is, they want to go inside to see, what is this purported largest zoo in Asia?

By the way, this is also the first day that Asia's largest zoo has opened today...

Zoo...

As a latecomer, Yan Shao certainly knows how important entertainment programs are to ordinary people. I can't say that everyone expects this to live, but in fact, I'm afraid it's not much worse. Especially in such an era, people generally don't have much entertainment. You don't have to think about computers, televisions, or even listening to books on the radio.

For Yan Shao, he not only wants China to become a strong country, but also hopes to make the people live a good life.

What do you mean by a good day? Can you eat well, wear warm clothes, have a house to live in, see a sick person, have a job, and have a book to read? Can this be called a good life? In Yan Shao's view, this can only be regarded as a basic ―――――― at best, although it is like a house, a doctor, a job, or something, and many countries will not be satisfied in the future.

Since Yan Shao wants people to live a good life, it is necessary to enrich people's daily entertainment programs.

This is also Yan Shao's original intention to open a zoo, after all, the zoo has been built, and people can usually have a new place to go in addition to playing mahjong or some others.

――――――――――――――――――――

The zoo, since it is called a zoo, there must be a lot of animals in it.

It should be noted that this zoo is state-run―――――― because Yan Shao remembered that the zoo seemed to be easy to lose, so after thinking about it, he didn't get it himself.

Although there was still a war in Shandong some time ago, the government still took out the money to build a zoo, so during the war, despite the financial constraints, the progress of the zoo has not stopped. Finally, after a period of cessation from the fighting in Shandong, the entire zoo was finally completed.

At this time, the zoo was obviously incomparable with later generations, even the Chinese zoo in the eighties and nineties could not be compared, the one in it was very simple, but it was very fresh to the people of this era, and there were many kinds of animals in it.

From the more common lions, tigers and wolves. There are also animals such as leopards, crocodiles, giraffes, etc.

Naturally, there are also some rare animals in it, such as the panda that is almost equivalent to China in later generations.

Besides. In the zoo, according to Yan Shao's idea, there is even a slightly large-scale aquarium inside―――――― which is said to be an aquarium, which is actually some huge swimming pools, most of which are filled with some relatively common fish, such as sharks or something...

And inside, the most striking. I'm afraid it's two white-sided dolphins transported from Anhui by water...

We all know the preciousness of this thing, because in later generations this creature is basically extinct.

There is a saying that it is rare to lose. This sentence can actually be applied to white-sided dolphins.

Because in later generations, it was when the white-sided dolphin was about to become extinct that the Chinese people knew how to cherish this creature, but unfortunately they were unable to save this creature in the end.

Yan Shao as a descendant. Of course, I know if I let it go on like this. Sooner or later, the white-sided dolphins in the Yangtze River will become extinct as they did in history, and at a faster rate than in history.

After all, China has always been in a state of chaos throughout history, and although the Chinese cannot be said to have made no progress in the coming decades, it will actually have limited progress. There are few boats on the Yangtze River, and the white-sided dolphins operating in the Yangtze River naturally have a little more hope of survival.

But today, China is becoming more and more prosperous, and there are more and more ships in the Yangtze River.

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it won't take more than 30 years. The number of white-sided dolphins in the Yangtze River will become similar to that of later generations.

It is also because of this that during the Anhui period. Yan Shaocai found a way to build a huge artificial lake in Anhui Province, and asked fishermen in the Yangtze River to find a way to catch some white-sided dolphins alive and then send them into the artificial lake.

At the same time, Yan Shao also listed the artificial lake as a forbidden place, and it was no problem to go there as a person, but if you wanted to drive a boat in the lake...

Hehe...

In order to save this creature, Yan Shao can be said to have made a lot of efforts, and even offered a sky-high price for each white-sided dolphin. Stimulated by Yan Shao's large reward, dozens of white-sided dolphins have been inhabited in the artificial lake, some of which have even given birth to offspring in the lake, and at the same time, fishermen in the river will find a way to send them here as long as they catch them.

Of course, if you do this, there will definitely be some accidental injuries, and some white-sided dolphins will have accidents because of this. However, in Yan Shao's opinion, this is already the only way to save this race, as for the way to save them without harming any unit? I'm sorry, but Yan Shao really didn't come up with this.

And in order to allow this group to have a broader space, Yan Shao is still trying to expand the area of the artificial lake. Of course, it is not directly excavated next to the lake, but some lakes of equal size are now excavated around the area, and after being injected with river water, the lakes are connected together, so that the area of the lakes is getting bigger and bigger...

Of course, it must cost a lot to do this, after all, you need to buy a lot of land to do this, but in Yan Shao's opinion, it is worth it. And with dozens of white-sided dolphins, it doesn't seem to be a difficult thing to get two to go to the zoo in Beijing...

――――――――――――――――――――

Despite the fact that the aquarium has quite a few heavyweights, it's clear that people prefer to see animals like lions, tigers and pandas. After all, the current aquarium can only be regarded as a huge swimming pool, and with the current technology, there is no way to make an aquarium like the future generations, and the current swimming pool alone will definitely not be able to enjoy the full picture of these water creatures.

By the way, the park is not free. After all, for such a large park, the daily maintenance cost must be very high, which is why Yan Shao did not do it himself.

According to the current plan, tickets for adults are 1 dime each, and tickets for children are half of those for adults, which is 5 cents.

At this time, the per capita income of the city has basically reached the point of 1 jiao per day, which means that the admission to the zoo is equivalent to the salary of an adult for a day. This is certainly expensive, but it is still within the acceptable range of ordinary people. Of course, there are also people who think that since it is state-run, it should be free of charge.

But the zoo also has a hard time saying about this, you must know that many animals in the zoo eat meat, but the food alone has already made the zoo worried. If only it were free. How much does it cost in a year, the park doesn't even dare to calculate.

The reason why so many people came to cheer this time was not because they had so much money that they could ignore a dime for a ticket. Rather, it was because the park announced that it would be free for the first week of opening.

It's not cheap, and there are not so stupid people in this world, but not long after this announcement was posted, the outside of the zoo was already crowded with people who ran over to see the excitement.

But...

Although the zoo is the largest in Asia, it obviously can't reach the level of a global sensation.

In fact, before extinction. The white-sided dolphin is also not well-known. A special creature like the panda caused quite a stir before it appeared in public, and some scientists even thought that this creature was artificially dyed. It's not a natural product at all.

However, after some investigation, they can only admit that the natural world is indeed very magical, and there is such a black and white bear zài. And it looks like he's born to be cute.

It's an amazing skill. In a world that has begun to be dominated by humans. It's more important than anything else to be cute. Because if you know how to sell cute, there will be a lot of stupid humans rushing to take care of you and wait for you, selling cute, which should be considered one of the most powerful skills in this world from a certain point of view...

Of course, if it's really only cute, the panda obviously won't be able to survive until now, in fact, the natural enemies of the panda are really few and few, and the combat effectiveness is really strong and strong. The eyes in the dark circles reveal a killer cold light. Although the creatures may seem cute, they are actually angry if they are angry. That's definitely a dangerous creature...

――――――――――――――――――――

The appearance of the panda has indeed shocked the world, and it is hard for people to believe that there is such a creature. But if one can forget about the war that is taking place on the Old Continent, it is obviously unlikely...

After all, it's just an animal, and it's obviously not compared to the brutal wars on the Old World.

In fact, what really shocked people was another thing, something that also happened in Beijing...

Outside Beijing, countless people are looking up at buildings that are still under construction not far away.

The Empire State Building...

Leaving aside how vulgar Yan Shao's name was, the building had indeed begun to exert its miraculous charm―――――― attracting a large crowd of people to come and see the excitement.

According to the plan, the existence of the Empire State Building was supposed to be a secret, and definitely the one that belonged to the top secret. But it's really hard to keep a secret in this world forever, especially one like the Empire State Building.

In the beginning, although the Empire State Building was built not very far from the presidential palace, not many people actually cared about this building, because it was so inconspicuous at that time―――――― who would care about a newly built building.

But as time went on, people began to discover how extraordinary the building was.

To put it simply, the building is getting taller and taller.

From the start of construction to now, more than half a year has passed. The entire building has even reached dozens of floors, both in terms of number of floors and height, which is already taller than the Woolworth Building, the tallest building in the United States and the world.

In other words, by this time, the tallest building in the world had basically been born.

But the problem is that the construction party still has no intention of stopping, and the building is still under construction, and it is getting higher and higher...

Today, it's nearly 300 meters high...

Soon the news of the world's tallest building appearing in China spread all over the world. This news also caused a sensation all over the world in a short period of time along with the photos in the newspapers.

But what really made the Empire State Building change the European war was the news that came out later.

According to the news from the construction party after the incident, the final height of the entire building is actually nearly 200 meters higher than now, and the number of floors of the building will be as high as more than 100 floors...

Although people have thought that this building may be tall, they have never imagined that it will be so high...

More than a hundred floors, if this is the case, I am afraid it is already taller than two Woolworth buildings. Never before on earth has there ever been a building of this height.

However, after the news spread, although it caused a sensation around the world in a short period of time, it even overshadowed the news of the European war. But in fact, many people are skeptical, believing that it is impossible to build such a tall building with current technology, and even if it can, it cannot be built by yellow people.

There are even people who come to China to see if there are any foreign experts in the building. Apparently he didn't think Chinese could build such a huge building on his own―――――― although it wasn't finished yet, it was taller than the tallest building in the world.

At the same time, this debate can be seen everywhere in the world, and even in the trenches of Europe, some soldiers will talk about it in their spare time.

Although many people think that this building is the most suitable for you to make it, but in general, there are still more people who don't want to believe it. And those who believe it are either Chinese or some admirers of Yan Shao abroad―――――― don't forget, he also has a job as a novelist.

As for the leakage of the Empire State Building, Yan Shao was also a little helpless. However, he was not surprised, because he never thought that the existence of the Empire State Building would be able to hide it forever. After all, such a big thing, even if you want to hide it, you will never be able to hide it...

Although there is a lot of controversy about it, everyone who has seen this building cannot but admit that it is indeed a stunning building, even if it is not finished at this time. (To be continued......)
