    Tianjin, the huge Tianjin Port is extremely prosperous. Ships from all over the Ming Dynasty and abroad arrive in Tianjin all the time, and there is also a ship leaving Tianjin Port to go to all over the world.

    As the largest port in the north and the closest port to the imperial capital, it is the largest and most prosperous port in the entire Ming Dynasty.

    At this time, at a dock, more than a dozen ships had just arrived at Tianjin Port. The workers at the dock were busy unloading the ship, which was different from previous ships.

    These cargo ships were not loaded with gold and silver, nor with goods from inside and outside the Ming Dynasty. Instead, they were loaded with all kinds of animals.

    There are elephants, lions, hyenas, wild dogs, buffalo, zebras, crocodiles, etc. from the African grasslands, as well as koalas, kangaroos, emus, etc. from Australia, and tigers from Tianzhu.  , leopard, monkey and so on.

    All kinds of animals turned more than a dozen large ships into a noisy zoo. When unloading, the dock workers were all frightened, but soon they looked at them very curiously.  All kinds of animals.

    Although this is not the first time to see animals from overseas, more than ten large ships were dispatched to transport so many kinds of animals to Tianjin at one time. Such a large-scale effort is quite amazing.

    You must know that just collecting these various animals from all over the world, and they are all alive, is already very difficult. What is even more difficult is to transport these animals to Tianjin in good condition.

    ¡°This requires more than just money. Without huge power, it is simply impossible to collect these animals from all over the world to Tianjin.

    Of course, what makes people more curious is why so many animals are collected here in Tianjin?

    The animals arriving at the Tianjin port were quickly transported to the capital in large four-wheeled carriages. More than ten large ships and hundreds of animals of various sizes, including the food these animals ate, took thousands of four-wheeled carriages.  The carriage came for transportation, and the long transportation team, coupled with the noise made by these animals, immediately attracted the attention of the entire Tianjin gentleman.

    ¡°That¡¯s the elephant?¡±

    "It's really huge. The ears are bigger than a cattail leaf fan. Is the nose too long?"

    "The most valuable thing is the ivory. It is said that such a pair of ivories now costs several thousand taels of silver."

    "Thousands of taels of silver! My dear, isn't this piece of ivory worth more than a dozen houses?"

    "That's right. Only the really rich can afford it. I just don't know what's so special about something made of ivory."

    "Tsk, tsk, it turned out to be a big white insect. This is the first time I have seen a big insect."

    ¡°I¡¯ve only seen tiger skin once before, but I¡¯ve never seen a live tiger, or a white tiger.¡±

    "The skins of these white tigers are probably worth tens of thousands of taels of silver."

    "Ten thousand taels of silver, that's about it. I heard that these tigers come from Tianzhu. There are many tigers there and they are rich in big white insects."

    "Roar~"

    "This is a lion. The sound is really scary. It's really similar to a stone lion. The mane is so long and thick!"

    "I heard that this lion is an animal from the African savanna."

    "And the horse, one white and one black, is really magical. There is such a horse in the world."

    The old and young men in Tianjin looked at the animals in the four-wheeled carriage and kept discussing them. For once, they really learned a lot and saw hundreds of animals at once.

    The long queue headed towards Tianjin, and it also attracted plenty of attention along the way.

    In the capital, at Liu Jin¡¯s house, it was already three o¡¯clock in the morning. Liu Jin was still sleeping in, hugging his two beloved wives. He had never felt tired when he was marching and fighting in the past.

    After returning home, Liu Jin was so tired and happy from working hard every night that he couldn't get up at all in the morning.

    Fortunately, the servants in the mansion are very sensible and know Liu Jin's living habits and daily routine.

    As long as he doesn¡¯t go to morning, Liu Jin must sleep until he wakes up naturally, then do some morning exercises, and then sleep beautifully until noon before getting up.

    ¡°Mr., it¡¯s time to get up!¡±

    Xu Waner snuggled into Liu Jin's arms, her face flushed, and Liu Jin's hands were dishonest again.

    "Why are you getting up? It's rare that I have time to spend time with you at home.There are many kinds of plants in the zoo, and they are full of all kinds of flowers. Even if Liu Jin is not knowledgeable, he quickly discovered that there are all kinds of precious flowers and trees transplanted here.

    "Haha, you can see it."

    "This animal is not just a zoo, it is also a botanical garden. I had people transplant all kinds of exotic flowers and plants here from all over the country, including the Ming Dynasty and abroad."

    "There are thousands of exotic flowers and plants grown here alone. Have you seen these flowers? All kinds of flowers, all kinds of colors, blooming all year round."

    "And some plants are not suitable for planting here in the capital. I referred to the heating design in my father's Palace of Qianqing. There are heaters in many places in the entire zoo. When the weather is cold, just light a fire and the heat will  It¡¯s rolling in so that plants that cannot be grown here in the capital can grow.¡±

    "Of course, it is also to allow some animals to be raised here in the capital. Some animals cannot withstand the cold, so I have specially designed warm rooms for these animals so that they will not freeze to death in the winter."

    Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin's surprised expression, and immediately laughed happily, and then very proudly began to introduce the zoo to Liu Jin in detail.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
