Chapter 347 Sydney Royal Zoo

After walking in the forest for most of the day, Arthur, Butler Kent, and the accompanying guards, witnessed by the two little guys, hunted dozens of wild deer, bison and other prey, and then returned to the villa with satisfaction.

There are still many wild animals in Australasia, especially some captive animals, such as cattle and sheep, which will gradually become wild animals after escaping from the pasture.

For the hunting team, the main food during this period is these hunted wild animals.

Although Arthur's trip, including all the guards, has a total of hundreds of people, the daily consumption of food is as high as hundreds of kilograms.

In addition to the small amount of staple food, such as potatoes and flour, Arthur's main meal is generally roasted venison, beef and mutton, as well as some wild fruits in the forest.

Fortunately, the accompanying chef's skills are pretty good, even if the ingredients are relatively simple, the food is still delicious.

Of course, the accompanying servants and guards are not so well treated. Most of their food is just simple barbecue, and occasionally there will be wild fruits and some staple foods.

As for the drinking water problem, there is a very clear stream near this forest villa.

Although the water flow is not too large, such a water source is very clean and has not been subjected to any industrial pollution.

Soldiers usually take water directly and drink it, but Arthur needs to boil it before drinking.

It is precisely because of this stream that Arthur and the two little guys have no problem washing.

Otherwise, according to the previous hunting situation, it is often necessary to take a bath every few days during hunting, and you have to encounter a water source with good water flow.

That night, after a simple wash, Arthur, Anna and William sat together and enjoyed the dinner carefully prepared by the chef.

The two little guys were still very excited about the hunting experience during the day, and they talked tirelessly about the white herdsmen and other animals they hunted today.

"Father, when can I hunt by myself like you?" At this time, William put down his knife and fork and asked curiously.

Today's hunting was wonderful, but for the two little guys, they were just carried on the horseback and experienced it all passively.

Witnessing and experiencing it in person are two completely different feelings, which also made William ask such a curious question.

"Wait until you practice your shooting skills, William. Your shooting class hasn't started yet, and you can't even hold the gun steadily, how can you hunt?" Arthur said with a smile.

"It's a deal, father." William was not discouraged by the words, but said with great anticipation.

For traditional nobles, having good shooting skills is an indispensable requirement. Especially for nobles like William who want to become the ruler of the country, he must not only be familiar with the most mainstream weapons in the world, understand the structural principles and advantages and disadvantages of weapons, but also have a further understanding of the military. Military academy is also an institution where he must study.

If nothing unexpected happens, no matter how William's academic performance was before college, his final college choice must be the Royal Military Academy in Sydney.

The three major departments of the military academy don't matter, but after graduating from the Royal Military Academy, William should also have at least three years of service. Only after experiencing real training in the army can he have a better understanding of the military and the grassroots troops.

The king of Australasia has great power, and the same is true in the military.

Arthur doesn't want William to have an interest in the military but no corresponding military ability.

After the war, blindly commanding the war will lead to the defeat of the war.

To have power, you must have ability. If there is no military ability, Arthur should also consider reducing William's future military power and transferring the command during the war to the Ministry of Defense.

Of course, troops like the Guards Division will always be the last trump card to protect the royal family, and they will always be under the control of the royal family.

But if William's military talent is mediocre, then the Guards Division may be the only unit he can command personally.

In the relaxed and pleasant conversation between the father and the son, the slightly busy day passed quickly.

In order to ensure that the injured white herder would not have any problems, after staying in the forest for two more days, that is, on April 28, 1913, Arthur decided to end this hunting trip and return to Sydney.

The purpose of this hunting trip was to relax and have fun, and it seems to have been completed successfully.

At least Arthur himself is now relaxed a lot, and the two little guys don’t have as serious academic pressure as before.

It took almost a day to return to Sydney from the hunting place. Arthur was relieved until the convoy stopped at the gate of Sydney Palace.

Although there are not many wild carnivores in Australasia, they do not pose any threat to Arthur’s hunting team.

But this can’t stop Australasia from having a large number of wild poisonous snakes and insects, especially in the deep mountains and old forests where hunting is located, you can encounter poisonous snakes and insects from time to time.

Although Arthur has the protection of the entire hunting team, for the current medical situation, if you are bitten by these snakes and insects, there is really no good way to save your life.

Therefore, in addition to enjoying the process of hunting, Arthur is also very concerned about the snakes and insects that may be hidden in the dark.

Fortunately, every hunting trip went smoothly. Even if there were occasional snakes or insects, they would quickly flee because of the attack of the large group.

Wild animals are rarely not afraid of people. When faced with huge strange "animals" that they have never seen before, these snakes, insects and other animals will also be afraid.

As early as when hunting, the news that Arthur successfully captured a white herd deer had been released in newspapers, and had already attracted the attention of many media and the public.

Even many European media have sent inquiries to Arthur, wanting to get first-hand information about this matter.

Although the religious color in Europe is no longer what it used to be, hunting a pure wild white herd deer is definitely something worth commemorating and promoting.

Although the development of science has led to many things being explained by science, the importance and legend of God have been diluted.

But when something surprising happens, people still habitually explain it with miracles.

The influence of thousands of years of religion cannot be eliminated in a short period of time. Even in the future more than 100 years later, don't we have a large number of religious believers?

Not to mention that technology is just beginning to develop, and most technologies have not yet been demonstrated and born.

In Australasia, Arthur has been praised as the son of God. People generally believe that Arthur is recognized by God and is sent by God to Australasia to help build Australasia into a prosperous place.

Combined with Arthur's achievements over the past decade, Arthur's reputation and support among the people have risen.

If people's attitude towards Arthur before was highly recognized and supported in every way, then now it is extremely fanatical and widely sought after.

It's a pity that it's not the Middle Ages now, otherwise such deeds would be publicized, and the fresh wild white herdsman would directly make Arthur more divine.

When the convoy arrived at Sydney Palace, a large group of people had already surrounded Sydney Palace. On the one hand, they wanted to see the appearance of the wild white herdsman with their own eyes, and on the other hand, they wanted to personally welcome Arthur and admire this monarch who was already great for Australasia, although there was only this monarch in the history of Australasia.

It's a pity that the white herdsman was well protected, and people only took a quick glance at it, and then it disappeared from people's sight.

However, what made everyone feel happy was that the palace guards soon brought news that Arthur decided to exhibit the white reindeer at the Sydney Royal Zoo starting from three days later.

During the exhibition of the white reindeer, the Sydney Royal Zoo no longer has a viewing time limit, and you can go to the zoo to buy tickets to watch it seven days a week.

Even the tickets to the Sydney Royal Zoo are discounted for Australasians. As long as you have the identity and proof of a legal citizen of Australasia, you can enjoy a 30% discount on the purchase of tickets to the Royal Zoo.

In fact, the tickets to the Royal Zoo are not very profitable. Even with the popularity brought by the white reindeer, the daily ticket price can only double several times at most, and it is hard to say whether it can reach 10,000 Australian dollars.

Since there is no money to be made, it is better to give Australasians some practical discounts and brush up the favorability of Australasians again.

You know, after the news that Arthur hunted the white reindeer spread to Europe, it will inevitably attract a group of European tourists and media.

Australasians can enjoy discounts on zoo tickets, which will also make the people of Australasia have a sense of national pride.

Even when facing Europeans, the people of Australasia have advantages, which is the embodiment of national pride.

Arthur, who has contributed to this situation and made Australasians better than Europeans in some positions, will inevitably be sought after by Australasians.

National pride is very important for the development of a country, and even determines whether a country can develop well.

Let me ask, when a nation of a country faces other nations, how can it push its country to surpass other countries without any confidence?

Let me ask again, a country not only does not encourage its own nation to cultivate a sense of pride, but tramples on its own nation, and pursues and wins over other nations. How can this country become stronger?

The development of a country is closely related to national pride. Only when a country develops and becomes strong, has sufficient confidence, can it protect its own nation, and can it also make people feel proud.

In a word, my country can firmly protect me, but your country cannot, and this is why I am proud.

But if a country deliberately praises other nations and ignores the feelings of its own nation, and its own nation has nowhere to complain when it is wronged, how can it have the confidence to develop its own country?

The current state of Australasia is that the country sincerely protects the people and pays real attention to the interests of the people.

And the people also sincerely and fanatically support the government and do their best to make the beautiful country they live in stronger.

Because Australasia knows that the motherland that they have done their best to develop will also do their best to protect themselves and their interests.

As long as the people and the country prosper together and suffer together, the people are invincible and the country is invincible.

After three days of treatment at the private hospital of Sydney Palace, the herding deer named Xiaobai by Anna was released in the Sydney Royal Zoo.

During the treatment, Arthur's mother Princess Louise, Queen Mary, and the two little guys all went to visit Xiaobai from time to time, firstly to satisfy their curiosity, and secondly because they had a good impression of such a furry and pure white animal.

Although they were reluctant to let Arthur send Xiaobai to the Royal Zoo, they also knew that it would be better to let people all over the country and even the world watch it instead of keeping it in the Sydney Palace for viewing alone, which would not only increase Arthur's legendary color, but also show the generosity of the Australasian royal family.

After all, the Australasian royal family wants a long-term rule, and the reputation of the royal family is far more important than the interests of the royal family.

During these three days, the Victoria Daily and the Australasian Daily were the only two media and newspapers in Australasia that could get in touch with Xiaobai.

These two newspapers also used the news gap to report Arthur's legendary process of hunting Xiaobai, and even rarely attached photos of Xiaobai in the newspaper.

This is like hunger marketing, directly sending Xiaobai to the Royal Zoo, perhaps people will not be so expectant of Xiaobai.

After three days of recovery, on the day when Xiaobai entered the Royal Zoo, the zoo's tickets were quickly sold out. Even the people gathered at the zoo's entrance were clamoring for the zoo to pre-sell tickets for the next day.

You know, zoo tickets are basically not refundable. This also means that if people have something urgent to do the next day after buying tickets, they may lose a lot of money.

Although the zoo's tickets are worth only 0.35 Australian dollars after discounts, which is only a little more than two days' wages for people in Australasia.

But this does not mean that the ticket price is not expensive. Even if converted to later generations, if the per capita income is calculated based on 5,000 per month and 60,000 per year, the ticket price for a ticket like the Royal Zoo is about 350 yuan.

For ordinary people, there may not be many who can afford to buy a 350 yuan zoo ticket, but are willing to buy it in advance through pre-sale.

This also shows how popular the people of Australasia are with Xiaobai. If it weren't for the fact that only one white herder has been found in Australasia, Arthur would have even planned to list it as the national treasure of Australasia.

In fact, the plan that Arthur had decided to collect endangered animals and plants in advance has been implemented by Butler Kent after he returned to the palace.

Currently, discussions have been held with some countries in East Asia and Europe. If the progress is smooth, they can be purchased and shipped back to Australasia within one to two months.

The first batch of precious wild animals and plants purchased include Caribbean monk seals, Mexican grizzly bears, black bear warblers, Kenai mountain wolves, Wake Island rails, etc.

These are all wild animals that became extinct in the 20th century, and their preciousness is naturally self-evident.

Of course, it is only the early 20th century, and although many of these animals have been reduced in number, they can still be found if they are carefully searched.

Arthur's goal is to establish an endangered animal museum in Australasia. When these animals become extinct in other places, the only animal left in Australasia will be the scorpion poop, which is unique.

Please give me a monthly ticket!
