"Seriously, the creation of gods is indeed very wonderful! You see that the two elephants are so huge and mighty, but their characters are very docile, especially the little elephant, whose little nose is pulling the mother elephant’s tail. She refused to let go, and the mother elephant was still not angry. Instead, she kept sucking leaves with her nose and feeding it to the little elephant... This reminded me of Ivia when she was a child. She was like that, she was always close I'm afraid that I will leave her..." Agnes said, smiling and sighing.

Davers looked at Agnes, who was so rare to be so active, and said with a smile: "Look at you, I seem to be fascinated by these elephants too!"

"Isn't that right!" Kristia finally found her soulmate and complained loudly: "Just now Agnes told me that she is not going to the Temple of Hera today. Elephant, let me accompany her! Tell me, we are almost 50 years old, how can we be like children! Besides, I am so busy now, how can I spare time to watch the elephant..."

"I see, today we all set aside other things, went to see the elephants with the children, and enjoyed the happiness of the whole family together!" Davers suggested loudly.

"Okay!" Agnes smiled like a flower, and immediately clapped her hands to agree.

Christoya frowned slightly, just about to speak out, Daves lightly held her hand and said softly: "You, you are busy every day, let yourself relax today."

Daves’s concerned gaze made Kristia’s heart soften: “Well, today we’ll be with the children at home and not going anywhere. But... the elephant is placed next to the mansion, it’s not A good idea. Although the guy seems to be docile, they are so big after all, if one day they go crazy, they will be dangerous to us!

Also... After all, this elephant is a rare animal that the people of the kingdom have never seen before. After being transported to the mountain yesterday, many people wanted to come in and watch it, including some elders. This morning, the children also let their friends pass the checkpoints and go up the mountain to watch the elephants... If things go on like this, it will be difficult to guarantee the safety here! ……"

"For this matter, I have already considered." Davers said calmly: "Christoya, we will have another business next."

"What is it?!" Kristia immediately became energetic.

"Build a zoo."

"Zoo?"

"We have heard the story of Herculia strangling a Nemean lion since we were young, but have you seen a real lion?"

The sisters Christoya shook their heads (actually in this era, there are still lions habitat in the interior of Asia Minor and Mesopotamia, but Mili is a coastal city-state, and Greek women are not allowed to travel far. So Kristia did not have the opportunity to meet).

"We have heard the story of Apollo shooting the python Pitong. You may have seen snakes, but have you seen a real python?"

The two shook their heads again.

"We have all heard about hippos and crocodiles in the Nile in Egypt, but what do hippos and crocodiles look like? I'm afraid there are not many Dionians who have actually seen them. Daves tapped his fingers on the dining table. Said confidently: "Then why don't we build a zoo? Keep these weird animals in this zoo, let them live in a certain area of ​​the garden, and create their own suitable living environment, then do you think people will come to watch it? "

"Of course there will be!" Agnes immediately replied, "Just an elephant makes the people so crazy. When I came back yesterday, I heard the captain of the court guard at the foot of the mountain complaining that the people wanted to see Elephants, wanting to fight hard, almost clashed with them."

Christoya has been in business for many years, and immediately understood the meaning of Davers’ words, and asked uncertainly: "You mean, like watching football and football matches in an arena. Do people charge the same tickets?"

"Yes." Daves praised his wife's quick thinking, and continued to explain: "After all, it takes money to raise these animals, and a lot of manpower is needed to maintain the entire zoo... The money collected through tickets is just fine. Make up for these costs. As for where the rare animals in the zoo come from? We don’t have to worry at all. Those city-states and forces that have good friendships with Dionia and want to make friends with Dionia have learned that I have built a zoo. And after collecting rare animals, they will take the initiative to send them to me so as to strengthen friendship with me...

With the expansion of the kingdom’s territory, our zoo will only grow bigger and raise more and more rare animals. At that time, Turiyi can not only eat food, watch competitions, soak in hot springs, enjoy celebrations... but also watch the zoo. Whether it is ordinary people, school students, or academy scholars, they can learn about it without risking their trips. And to study most of the rare animals in this world, this is a very lucky thing! At the same time, let them know how great the gods are. He not only created us humans, but also created so many wonderful animals. We are not alone..."

Davers talked about the prospects of the zoo, but he was full of emotion: When he heard from Ansitanos that the Mauritanian envoy had sent several elephants, he was the number one at the time. One reaction is-this must be a branch of the North African elephant and the African elephant in the legend of the previous life! Pirus used it to defeat the Roman army several times, and Hannibal also incorporated it into the army, posing a threat to the Romans, but it is a pity that it has been extinct in the Roman era, not because of war, but Because the Romans were fanatical in gladiatorial competitions. The Romans captured various beasts from all over the Mediterranean and transported them to the Colosseum, where gladiators could kill them, thereby earning money and giving the audience excitement...

Daves read an article in his previous life. A Roman emperor held a grand gladiatorial contest to please the people of Rome. During the entire gladiatorial contest, he killed thousands of beasts. In the continuous killing of the Romans, not to mention the North African elephants, there are no more lions, leopards and other beasts in the entire Mediterranean area. If it were not for the terrible Sahara Desert, it would be difficult to cross, so that the animals south of the desert could survive, I am afraid the previous life Modern people can only learn about beasts such as African elephants and lions in the literature.

It can be said that Westerners in previous lives have been pursuing a crazy way of plundering nature since ancient times. In this life, Davers wants to change them, so let's start with the zoo to cultivate the good habits of children and being close to animals.

…………………………………………

Okliton asked the officials of the Dionian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to submit his request to meet King Davers, but there was no news for two days. Seeing that the celebration was about to begin, he was anxious. , Had to choose to follow another idea given by the Foreign Ministry official.

During the celebration, not only foreign envoys and VIPs came to Turei, but also the chief executives and important officials of various cities and towns would try their best to spare time and rush back to participate. At the same time, visits to the important officials of the Kingdom will become frequent. Generally speaking, the residences of the five rotating chairmen and ministers will become crowded.

Accordingly, Haka’s mansion will be even more so, because since their brothers came to Turei last year, Hasdruba has directly served as the commander of the army and soon went north to serve, and Haka became the official patriarch. The rotating chairman of the hospital, although he is still recuperating, Daves can’t wait to let him take charge of some government affairs, so as to get familiar with the kingdom’s political system as soon as possible. In addition, Dido, another important member of the Magonyd family, has become the prince and concubine. They also gave birth to two little princes... The Magonis family is very popular in the political arena of the kingdom. It is conceivable that the officials of the kingdom who came to visit should be like the crucian carp who crossed the river, but the actual situation is sparse.

Because Haka once publicly declared: "He is weak and sick and needs to rest, so officials are not welcome to visit his home."

Moreover, Helps also endorsed him.

In the beginning, the officials of the kingdom were still skeptical. After several Phoenician elders were rejected at the door, they finally determined that what Haka said was true.

After Okriton arrived at Turriy, he deliberately learned about this situation. Coupled with the many years of grievances between the Magonis family and the Hanoi faction, he has been more hesitant, but now there is no way, he can only Courageously came to visit, but unexpectedly obtained consent.

Of course, the way that the former Carthage nobleman and the great minister of the Dionian Kingdom received guests from his hometown was very special-soaking in the bathroom.

The baths were invented by the Dionians, but they were introduced to Carthage soon after the first peace agreement was signed more than ten years ago. The thermal baths of Gérme are the place where Carthage people love to go. , Of course, it now belongs to the Kingdom of Dionia.

Although Okriton was surprised by this request, it was a surprise that Hakkar was willing to see him, and he dared not refuse it.

The bathroom of Haka’s house was built strictly in accordance with the traditional Dionian bathroom pattern. When Okriton finished the previous procedure and walked into the warm pool, Haka was already sitting in the pool.

Before, Okriton had never seen Hakkar, but he had long heard that the head of Magonid family Jimilko had a very smart second son, but unfortunately he was born with a disease, and he was given The doctor who had seen the disease made a diagnosis: the child will not live to be 20 years old.

But Haka, who is now in front of Okriton, is slightly thin, but his face is ruddy and his eyes are piercing, and he doesn't look like a person who is about to step into the grave.

Haka looked at him and said in a flat tone: "After I came to Turei, Dr. Dionia suggested that people like me who cannot do strenuous exercise should take more baths, which is good for health. . I followed the advice and took a bath every day. I happened to be in the bath when you came, so I invite you to meet here."
