"Husband, it's time to get up. You promised to take us to that zoo to see animals today."
Xu Waner pinched Liu Jin who was still sleeping and said.
"Yeah, it seems I can't sleep in late today."
After hearing Xu Waner's words, Liu Jin remembered that today was the opening day of the Ming Dynasty's No. 1 Zoo. Zhu Houzhao told him to take a look, and he also agreed to take Xu Waner, Li Zhen and his own
Two children went to the zoo to have a look.
Seize. There was no other way, even though he was very reluctant, Liu Jin still got up from the gentle land.
After breakfast, Liu Jin and his family also took a four-wheeled carriage to the First Zoo of Ming Dynasty.
By the time Liu Jin arrived at the First Zoo of Ming Dynasty, it was already past midnight, and the entrance to the zoo was already crowded with people and busy with traffic.
There is a huge parking lot at the entrance, which is full of luxurious four-wheeled carriages. From these four-wheeled carriages, people of high rank and dignitaries, or women of wealthy families, etc., are actually parked.
I am very curious and want to come and see what this zoo is like.
“It’s really lively!”
Li Zhen looked at the busy scene at the entrance of the zoo and said with a smile.
"Isn't that right? Your Highness the Prince doesn't even know how many free tickets he gave away. It would be strange if it wasn't lively."
Liu Jin smiled and nodded.
After saying that, Liu Jin took out a few tickets and took his family into the zoo, ready to play there. His two children were already impatient and clamored to see the lions.
tiger.
Liu Jin had just entered, and several four-wheeled carriages arrived at the entrance of the zoo. Emperor Hongzhi, Zhu Houzhao, Zhang Mao, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others also stepped out of the carriage in plain clothes and looked at it with interest.
The entrance to the zoo.
“It’s quite lively!”
Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while and said to Zhu Houzhao: "For a ticket of only one tael of silver, so many people come to watch it. It seems that your zoo will not lose money."
"Dad, I don't know yet whether it's a loss or not, but as long as you can do something meaningful, it doesn't matter if you spend some money."
Zhu Houzhao's face turned red. He didn't even remember how many tickets he had given away. Plus, he advertised in the Tomorrow Morning News. How could this not be exciting?
"Let's go in and have a look."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled undeniably and took the lead to walk into the zoo.
Just after entering the zoo, there is a rockery design at the gate. This rockery is designed with reference to the appearance of Huangshan Mountain. At this time, many people are already looking at the rockery. There is also a text explanation picture next to the rockery.
"Dad~ This is Huangshan Mountain. I had people make it according to certain proportions based on Huangshan Mountain. And the pine tree next to it is Huangshan Pine. I also had people dig it from Huangshan Mountain and transplant it directly."
There were many people around, so in order to prevent people from knowing the identity of Emperor Hongzhi, Zhu Houzhao's title was also changed.
"Huangshan?"
When Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others heard this, they immediately became interested and quickly stared at the rockery carefully.
"Is this what Huangshan is like?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the appearance of the rockery in front of him and said with some disbelief. Although he was the emperor and claimed to rule the world, he had actually visited very few places.
He has never been to any of Mount Huang, Mount Tai, Mount Lu, Mount Hua, etc.
"I have been to Huangshan once, and it is indeed similar to the Huangshan in my memory, and the Huangshan pine is indeed a pine tree from this side of Huangshan."
Xie Qian looked at the rockery carefully, nodded and said.
"It turns out that this is what Huangshan looks like."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and sighed: "It doesn't look like the most amazing mountain in the world at all."
"Dad, this is just a rockery after all."
Zhu Houzhao curled his lips and said.
Everyone continued to visit.
"Dad, this is ginseng, or a century-old ginseng!"
Everyone soon arrived in front of several large tanks. Zhu Houzhao pointed to several ginseng plants in the tanks and said.
"Is this ginseng?"
厺厽 Baolaishiye.com 厺厽. Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others couldn't help but slightly widened their eyes. Everyone is familiar with ginseng. Who hasn't eaten ginseng?
But the ginseng we eat is completely different from the ginseng in front of us. The ginseng we eat looks like a radish, but the ginseng in front of us doesn't look like a radish in any way.
"Haha, of course this is ginseng."
"The red fruits above are the seeds of ginseng. The ginseng we usually eat is buried in the soil. You must have never seen ginseng like this, right?"
Zhu Houzhao smiled and nodded.
"I really haven't seen it before."
Zhang Mao nodded and said.
Then I carefully looked at a sign next to it. It clearly stated in black and white the origin of ginseng, how to distinguish its age, medicinal properties, and how to distinguish between real and fake ginseng.
"It turns out that there are so many varieties of ginseng. Panax notoginseng, bamboo ginseng, pearl ginseng, fake ginseng, etc. are all fake ginseng. They have no medicinal properties. Only the ginseng produced in Liaodong and North Korea is real.
Ginseng can be used as medicine."
After reading the above introduction, Xie Qian couldn't help but say.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that this ginseng can be divided into so many types."
Li Dongyang also nodded and said: "You really have to live and learn. Today I have learned a lot."
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but nodded slightly. He had eaten a lot of ginseng and drank this ginseng soup almost every day, but this was the first time he saw this ginseng, and it was also the first time he knew that there was so much knowledge in this ginseng.
As for Zhu Houzhao on the side, he grinned happily. He wanted this effect. At the same time, he couldn't help but admire Liu Jin in his heart.
Without Liu Jin's guidance and a sign beside it, the effect would have been at least half as bad.
Zhu Houzhao accompanied Emperor Hongzhi and his party to stroll around the zoo very casually.
The various plants and animals are also an eye-opener for everyone. Many of them have only been heard of before, but have never been seen before. Now they finally have the opportunity to take a look.
"Dad, look, this is a lion!"
After walking, walking, we finally arrived at the animal area. The first animal was a lion. Zhu Houzhao pointed to the lion in a large iron cage and said.
"This is the lion!"
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately became interested. He looked at the lion carefully and said, "Why do some lions have no manes?"
"Dad, among the lions, only male lions have hair on their temples. Female lions do not have hair on their temples."
Zhu Houzhao explained with a smile.
"I see, I thought lions had hair on their sideburns."
Emperor Hongzhi said as if suddenly enlightened.
"This lion comes from the African savannah. There are many kinds of animals in the African savannah."
Xixi Jiubing Chinese 9bzw.com Xixi. "Look at the zebras, elephants, crocodiles, giraffes, antelopes, bison, hippos, etc., all come from the African savannah, and these chimpanzees, they come from the big island in the east of Africa.
Above."
Zhu Houzhao introduced Emperor Hongzhi and others like a treasure trove of family treasures.
"There is such a horse?"
"Isn't this black and white one too ugly?"
"And this elephant is really huge. It's like a big wall."
"There are bison in Africa. Don't Africans domesticate these bison and use them to cultivate the land?"
Emperor Hongzhi and others laughed and discussed while looking at various animals.
At this moment, they were suddenly immersed in such fun. Seeing animals they had never seen before greatly increased their knowledge.
"@#%￥"
At this moment, a burst of chirping and yelling sounds came from an iron house, and at the same time there was the sound of violent knocking of iron tools.
Nine Pies Chinese 9Bzw.戅. When everyone heard this, they were slightly startled, and then they looked over and saw more than a dozen dark black people imprisoned inside. They were also looking at Daming who was visiting outside.
people.
They kept shouting and seemed extremely dissatisfied with their treatment. After all, anyone could tell that they were being held as animals and then given to others for viewing.
"What animals are these?"
Someone asked in surprise, then thought about it and said, "They should be human beings, right?"
"These are black people from Africa. They are very black. Their skin is as black as charcoal."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and pointed at these people and said: "These are the Kunlun slaves in historical records. These black people are mainly found in the south of the African desert. In addition, some black people are also found in Australia, but the number is far less than that in Africa.
There are many.”
"Are these black people?"
"I've heard people say a long time ago that there is a kind of black people in Africa with extremely black skin, just like charcoal. I didn't expect to see it today. It turns out that they look like this."
When Zhang Mao heard this, he immediately looked at it carefully and couldn't help but smile.
"Actually, there's nothing strange about it."
"There are not only black people in the world, but also white people. Many people in Europe and the Middle East are white. Their skin is as white as paper, their eyes are blue, and their hair is red or blond."
"But we haven't caught such a person yet. When our Ming Dynasty goes to Europe in the future, we will definitely catch some slaves like this and show them to everyone."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "These barbarians are very ferocious in appearance. They are really far different from us Ming people. We Ming people are still the best-looking."
"Of course, we Ming people are definitely the most beautiful."
When everyone heard this, they immediately nodded.
