Zhang Han watched with a smile on his face as the strong slaves disembarked one after another.

"Aside from slaves, what else did Erzhou bring back this time?"

The army led by Wang Li belonged to the imperial court, and the ships also belonged to the imperial court, so everything brought back on the ships should belong to the imperial court.

Before the slaves could fully disembark, Zhang Han began to think about other things on the ship!

"There are a lot of valuable things on the island, but we don't have time to pick them. In addition to slaves, we also brought back some animals unique to Yizhou and Erzhou!"

Wang Li said with a smile.

"Animal? Why are you bringing that thing?"

As soon as he heard the word animal, Zhang Han's interest disappeared instantly.

What he wants is to replenish the national treasury.

For example, gems, spices, etc. can be sold for money!

Besides killing and eating animals, what else can they do?

"This is what Mr. Fusu told us before we left. If we have the chance, we can bring back some unique local animals and develop our own species of animals native to Da Qin!"

Wang Li said it clearly.

It just happened that this time he was responsible for transporting slaves, so he ordered people to catch many animals in advance and brought them back together!

"Forehead……"

I heard that it was Fu Surang, so Zhang Han couldn't say anything else.

But I felt very sad in my heart.

If you have time to catch animals, wouldn't it be nice to bring some of the island's wealth back?

"What kind of animals are there in Erzhou?"

I heard that they had brought back many animals that were not available in Daqin. The other veterans stood curiously and looked toward the boat.

"We can't tell you what they are called specifically. They look very strange. Some of them look like sheep but are not sheep. They are covered in white fur. They will spit at people when they are annoyed!"

Wang Liziao gave an interesting and brief introduction.

"Huh? Looks like a sheep but not a sheep?"

Ying Feiyu imagined it based on what he described, wasn't it an alpaca?

When angry, he will spit at people!

"Hahaha! This is really interesting. Animals can actually spit?"

The old guys laughed loudly.

After all the slaves were driven off the ship, it was the turn of those strange animals.

The larger ones and the more ferocious-looking ones are put in separate cages.

As for those that were slightly smaller and seemed to have no attack power, many of them were locked together and moved from the ship in a mighty manner!

Zhang Han has no interest in these smelly animals, and he even dislikes them!

The cages were loaded onto the carriage one by one and drove towards Xianyang City one by one.

In the city, these fresh animals have undoubtedly become the focus of the city.

As long as the people who received the news ran to both sides of the street to watch, they would say something in amazement from time to time!

Later, Wang Li took his soldiers to find Ying Zheng to return his orders, saying that he had brought the slave back safely!

"Okay, okay! Haha!"

Ying Zheng's hearty laughter came from the imperial study room.

After that, Ying Zheng asked a lot about the situation in Yizhou and Erzhou, and Wang Li reported everything.

Until lunch time, Ying Zheng still had many questions to ask, so he simply stayed for dinner and invited Ying Feiyu and all the old guys to keep him company!

"I heard that when you came back this time, you brought a lot of animals from Erzhou?"

During the dinner, Fusu found an opportunity to ask Wang Li.

"That's right! There are hundreds of species, probably thousands of them!"

Wang Li nodded firmly.

"Great, great! If they all survive, the number of animals in our Daqin will be even greater in the future!"

Fusu happily slapped his thigh.

"If they are put directly into the forest, they are likely to die because they cannot adapt to the environment! In addition, their numbers are scarce and it is difficult to reproduce. It is estimated that they will need to be kept in captivity for several years!"

Ying Feiyu made a comment.

After all, there are only a few of each type of animal. If they are placed directly in nature, the possibility of encountering them again is extremely small, and they will not be able to reproduce at all!

"Yeah! That's right!"

Fusu nodded in agreement.

"If that's the case, then just keep it in my rare animal garden!"

There is a place in the palace dedicated to raising exotic tribute animals, called the Precious Animal Garden.

When Ying Feiyu first entered the palace, he ate a lot of animals inside, which made him furious!

Now that we have these rare animals, it’s just right to keep them inside!

"Father, what's the point of keeping everyone in the palace? It's better to be happy alone than to be happy together!"

Ying Feiyu said.

"Zhong Lele? What do you mean?"

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows.

He was the only one with a lot of ideas all day long, and I don’t know what he had in mind this time!

"This time the navy has brought back so many kinds of animals that the people of Qin have never heard of. Why not build a special zoo so that people can visit it!"

"Build a zoo?"

Ying Zheng stroked his beard and began to think about it.

"That's right! If you want these animals to reproduce, they must be carefully fed. Instead of keeping them in the palace and consuming manpower and material resources, it is better to let them go and let the people pay to visit them. While satisfying the curiosity of the people, it can also subsidize the breeding.

spend!"

Ying Feiyu gave a simple explanation about the zoo.

"Pay to visit? That's a good idea!"

In the past, a lot of money was spent on maintaining the zoo in the palace every year.

If it is open to the common people, it will not only satisfy their curiosity, but also use the fees collected to subsidize the cost of raising animals!

“Would anyone pay to see those animals?”

Zhang Han questioned.

"Of course! If they are animals native to Da Qin, no one will look at them! But these are unique species caught from Yizhou and Erzhou, and they are all raised together. There must be a lot of people in front of them.

Come watch!”

Ying Feiyu nodded firmly.

With the improvement of people's quality of life, people have begun to pursue spiritual pursuits.

As long as the zoo is open to the public, a large number of people will visit it every day!

“I don’t know how much the fee is?”

"The ticket doesn't have to be too high, just twenty or thirty cents!"

"Is it too low? Can it afford the cost of raising those animals?"

"completely fine!"

In this regard, Ying Feiyu is very confident.

Only by setting the price to a condition that everyone can meet can more people be attracted to go.

If you set the price very high and only a few people go there every day, you really won't make much money!

After all, the largest number of people in Da Qin are ordinary people!

"Then it's settled...!"

After a little discussion, Ying Zheng decided on the matter, "Meng Aiqing, I will leave the construction of the zoo to you!"

"yes!"

Meng Tian quickly handed over his hand to accept the decree.

After the meal, Meng Tian found Ying Feiyu alone and discussed with him how to build this zoo!

After all, this thing has never existed in Da Qin before!

With so many animals, how big of a venue must be built to accommodate them all?

Finally, after Ying Feiyu's advice, it was decided to build according to the mountain, surround the entire Dongshan Mountain, and then divide it into areas.

Antelopes, birds, and beasts each have their own territory!

"Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

After listening to Ying Feiyu's suggestion, Meng Tian immediately gave a thumbs up.
Chapter completed!
