"I brought three pigeons with me this time."
Zhang Changling said: "If I let them fly home, they will definitely fly home and will never run around."
Zhao Ping's eyes lit up after hearing these words.
Pigeons return to their nest.
He originally thought that he would need to spend a lot of time explaining to this person, but he didn't expect that he knew it by himself.
On the other hand, the people sitting around were stunned and their jaws dropped.
"are you sure?"
"Are you talking nonsense?"
"I also feel that he is talking nonsense. A pigeon is just a small animal. How can it possibly understand what we are saying?"
"..."
Everyone reacted and began to question one by one, not believing Zhang Changling's words at all.
"How about I release these pigeons now, and we all can follow them."
Zhang Changling said: "Let's see if they really returned to my home?"
“A horse cannot outrun a dove.”
Liu Mengru said: "When we get to your house, there are other pigeons in your house. How can we identify the pigeons you let go here?"
"You can tie ropes around their legs."
Zhang Changling said: "Or dye their feathers into other colors, etc., and mark them to confirm."
"This is good, I want to follow and take a look."
Liu Mengru became more and more interested and urged: "Tie them on the pigeons' legs now..."
"Mengru, don't make trouble."
Zhao Ping smiled bitterly and said: "It is natural for pigeons to return home."
"The pigeons he brought out from home will naturally fly home after they are released. It is not really a conversation with the pigeons."
"Hey, you actually know this?"
Zhang Changling was also stunned.
It was also after he became a pigeon breeder that the pigeon accidentally flew out of the cage. He searched for it for a long time but could not find it. As a result, the pigeon flew back on its own.
Zhang Changling seemed to have discovered a new continent, and gradually experimented, and then discovered this situation.
I just happened to hear that Qingzhou was recruiting talented people.
Regardless of whether they are talented people with lofty ideals or people who know strange and obscene skills, they are all recruited, and the treatment given is very generous.
At least I can manage three full meals a day.
Although Pingyan County belongs to Qingzhou, because it borders Youzhou in the north and belongs to the border area, it is often invaded by enemies.
To say it was miserable is an understatement.
Under such circumstances, how can anyone buy pigeons to eat?
So much so that Zhang Changling has been killing pigeons recently and eating the meat himself, almost feeling like a bird has appeared in his mouth.
So with the attitude of giving it a try, I came to Xiping Village with three pigeons to try my luck.
I never thought that Zhao Ping understood the principle.
It's hard to muddle through.
Zhang Changling sighed, "In that case, I won't bother you any more and take my leave."
Zhang Changling turned around and left with a lonely look on his face.
"Wait, Zhang Changling, please wait a moment."
Zhao Ping hurriedly called him.
"Mr. Zhao, do you have any other instructions?"
Zhang Changling smiled bitterly and said: "Since you already know about the phenomenon of pigeons returning home, you shouldn't recruit me again, right?"
"Do you still want to ridicule me?"
"No, you passed."
Zhao Ping shook his head, "From now on, you are a member of Xiping Village."
"The treatment is favorable."
"What?"
Zhang Changling thought he heard wrongly, so he picked his ears and asked doubtfully: "Mr. Zhao, what did you just say? Am I dreaming?"
"You weren't dreaming."
Zhao Ping repeated: "From now on, you are from my Xiping Village."
"From now on, food, accommodation, and expenses will be all covered by me in Xiping Village."
"Come here, take him down first and put him in a safe place. I'll talk to him in detail later."
"yes."
Someone in uniform responded respectfully.
Is this a pass?
Zhang Changling was still a little confused.
Everyone was confused and asked why Zhao Ping wanted him.
What Zhang Changling is taking advantage of is a common phenomenon that no one has discovered. To put it nicely, it is opportunistic; to put it worst, it is deceiving everyone.
This is not an honest person at all.
Shouldn't he be driven back to where he came from?
"Hahaha, this person is of great use to me."
Zhao Ping said with a smile: "As for the use, I will understand it after I discuss it with him. For now, let me keep it secret for now."
Everyone cheered, but didn't say much.
Move on to the next interview.
As soon as this man entered the courtyard, several of them were shocked.
Peng Yue turned to look at Zhao Ping and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Zhao, why is the Hundred-foot Pole here?"
"Is he here for an interview? Or here for inspection?"
"I am not sure as well."
Zhao Ping shook his head.
Zhao Ping was also full of doubts about Qingzhou Ministry of Industry Minister Bai Chigan coming here.
But the status of the other party is there. When he goes out, he represents the face of Qingzhou State Shepherd Chen Xinghe.
Zhao Ping didn't dare to make excuses and hurriedly left the table, greeting him with a smile.
"Master Shangshu, what brought you here? What a rare visitor."
"I'm not a guest."
Unexpectedly, Bai Chigan shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhao, I'm here for an interview today."
"interview?"
Zhao Ping was stunned, "You are already the Minister of Industry in Qingzhou, why are you interviewing?"
"Do you think the official position is too low and you want to go one step further and push Chen Xinghe down and make you the state shepherd?"
Of course, the second half of the sentence was what Zhao Ping muttered in his heart.
"I want to increase my salary."
Bai Chigan smiled bitterly and said, "The salary from the imperial court is only over two hundred taels of silver a year."
"My family includes elders and younger ones, plus servants, guards, etc., at least there are nearly a hundred people in my family."
"With such a small salary, I can barely survive without starving to death."
"I heard from Master Zhou Mu that if you pass your review, your salary will be doubled, so I want to come over and give it a try."
"this……"
Zhao Ping was in trouble.
Take it, I definitely want to take it.
If you just do that, will you offend Chen Xinghe?
After all, so many people have been cut off from Qingzhou's officialdom, which is almost on the verge of paralysis.
Especially in the six departments in the state capital, half of the people have colluded with the bandits and are still being held in prisons. I am afraid they will never get out in this life.
As the minister of the Qingzhou Ministry of Industry, Bai Chigan was considered an important minister around Chen Xinghe.
If I recruit him, I am afraid that Chen Xinghe will come to Xiping Village from the state capital with a knife.
If not accepted.
You can't give him hundreds of taels of silver every year for free, right?
That's not a good deal.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Chigan frowned and said, "Is it possible that I am unqualified?"
"I see in your notice that it says someone who knows how to deal with strange and obscene skills counts. I am the minister of the Ministry of Industry in Qingzhou and I consider myself a skilled craftsman. I should be able to meet your requirements, right?"
"It can definitely be achieved."
Zhao Ping smiled bitterly and no longer concealed it: "The notice posted this time to recruit talented people is not for Qingzhou officialdom, but for Xiping Village."
"Anyone who applies will become a member of Xiping Village as long as they meet the conditions."
"And you are the minister of the Ministry of Industry in Qingzhou, would you live in a remote place like Xiping Village?"
"this……"
This time it was Bai Chigan's turn to be in trouble.
It turns out that it was not arranged by Qingzhou officialdom? Instead, he stayed in Xiping Village.
Can the official salary of Qingzhou continue to be paid?
Or do you want to receive double the amount of money?
Bai Chigan raised these questions and almost made Zhao Ping amused.
He is truly a person who only cares about money.
But whether to close the hundred-foot pole depends on his ability.
If he had the ability, Zhao Ping would dare to rob him, not to mention that he was just the Minister of Industry beside Chen Xinghe, even the Minister of Industry beside His Majesty.
Who left him short of people? !
"Speciality?"
Bai Chigan took out something from his sleeve, handed it to Zhao Ping, and asked weakly: "Does this count?"
