"able!"
Zhao Ping said very accurately: "Before the telegraph has been developed, pigeon messaging will become mainstream."
"Zhang Changling, how many pigeons do you raise in total?"
"More than twenty."
Zhang Changling said with shame: "I originally raised a lot."
"It's a pity that it can't be sold."
"And our whole family was very hungry, so we slaughtered some to eat."
"There are only about 20 pigeons left now."
"I'm afraid that when we go back this time, it's hard to say whether there will be twenty of them."
Forehead.
Zhao Ping was also speechless for a while.
Only twenty.
Too little, totally not enough.
But it’s good if someone keeps pigeons. If you don’t have any pigeons for now, then buy them.
Anyway, this thing doesn't cost much money.
After buying the pigeons, let them lay eggs, hatch out the young pigeons, and then cultivate them.
Homing pigeons need to be trained from a young age before they can be gradually tamed and become capable of delivering messages.
As for how to train, Zhao Ping didn't understand either.
But he knew the appeal.
To carry messages, carrier pigeons need to have strong flying ability, and the farther they can fly, the better.
Second, homing pigeons need to know their home.
No matter how far you fly, you can always find your way home.
Only in this way can the carrier pigeons carry the message home.
As long as you tell Zhang Changling these demands and let him train pigeons based on them, it should be fine.
"Who else is in your family?"
Zhao Ping asked.
"I have elderly parents, a wife, five concubines, six sons, and three daughters."
Forehead!
Zhao Ping was stunned again for a long time.
A real man, he actually married six wives. Can your waist bear it?
But in front of Liu Mengru, Zhao Ping would naturally not ask that question.
Instead, he said with a hint of ridicule: "You are so poor, but you still dare to marry so many wives and concubines. You can't afford the money, so it's natural."
"Why."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Changling sighed, "I don't want to marry either."
"But if I don't marry them, they will starve to death."
"You also know that Pingyan County is full of disasters and is always harassed by enemies. The people's lives are miserable."
"Those women's families were killed and they had no one to turn to, so they had no choice but to take refuge in me."
"You can't even be a servant, you must marry me."
"Become my woman, so that they can enjoy my care with peace of mind."
"For this reason, I can only marry them."
"In this marriage, I actually married six people."
"In the past, there was no harassment from enemies, and life was quite manageable. We could still eat meat every once in a while."
"But with the defeat of the Flying Eagle Army, the enemy became more and more unscrupulous."
"Our lives have also gone from bad to worse."
"So I came here to join Sir."
For some reason, Zhao Ping always felt like he was showing off.
Marrying six wives and concubines, in the previous life, he started out as a director, right?
But in the Dawei Dynasty, it happened to a common person who was about to starve to death. The times are really mysterious.
Zhao Ping didn't pay much attention to other people's family affairs and continued to ask: "Do they know how to raise pigeons?"
"meeting."
Zhang Changling said: "My parents, wife and children all know how to raise pigeons."
"Can you accept the separation between the two places?"
Zhao Ping asked again.
"It must be possible."
Zhang Changling said: "Sir, please rest assured, I will definitely stay in Xiping Village honestly, follow your arrangements, and will never leave easily."
"As for my family, as long as I give them enough money to live every month, they won't care."
"That was not what I meant."
Zhao Ping corrected him: "I mean you take over all your family members."
"Take them all?"
Zhang Changling said suspiciously: "Sir, why do you ask me if I can accept the separation of the two places?"
"First come to Xiping Village and raise pigeons together."
Zhao Ping said: "Raise many, many pigeons, preferably tens of thousands."
"I will build many pigeon breeding places in Donghai County, Qingzhou, and even in the entire Dawei Dynasty."
"When those pigeons hatch, you arrange for your family to live there and raise pigeons in those places."
"In this way, once there is news that needs to be transmitted, it can be transmitted one station after another, and the speed can be much faster."
"But I don't know how to raise homing pigeons?"
Zhang Changling said bitterly: "I just raise some meat pigeons. When they grow up, I kill them for meat."
"Haha, it makes the same sense."
Zhao Ping said with a smile: "The main purpose of feeding meat pigeons is to make them grow up quickly and have a high meat production rate."
"The homing pigeon is mainly used to carry messages."
"The main thing is to train them to fly and return home."
"When you need to send a message, you just need to tie the message to their legs and use their ability to return to the nest to deliver the message back."
"For example, if you raise pigeons in Xiping Village, Xiping Village is the home of those pigeons."
"When I go out, I take the pigeon to Donghai County. When I need to deliver a message, I just tie the message to the pigeon's leg and let it fly. It will return to Xiping Village on its own."
"In this way, you can receive it."
"This is the homing pigeon."
This... doesn't seem to be difficult?
Zhang Changling was relieved.
However, Zhao Ping continued: "Zhang Changling, you have to remember that the news is very important to Xiping Village, so there is no room for loss."
"And you and your family must be absolutely loyal."
"I will send people to monitor you all the time. If there is any change, you and your family will be missing."
"Sir, please rest assured, I, Zhang Changling, will never betray you."
Zhang Changling planned to swear again, but was stopped by Zhao Ping, "I don't want to hear lies, and I want to see what you will do."
"Have a good night's rest tonight, and you will set off back to Pingyan County tomorrow."
"I will send someone to protect you, pick up your family members, and then start the task of raising pigeons."
"If you really follow what I said, I will guarantee your prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life."
"Thank you sir."
Zhang Changling respectfully expressed his thanks.
Zhao Ping didn't stay any longer, walked out of Zhang Changling's courtyard and went to another one.
Zhao Ping visited everyone who passed the interview today.
Zhao Ping has assigned tasks to those who are willing to stay in Xiping Village.
Time does not wait for me, I must seize the time to develop.
This talent cannot be allowed to go to waste.
As for those who didn't want to stay here, Zhao Ping didn't say much and just asked them to have a good rest and experience more of the customs and customs of Xiping Village.
When Lord Zhou Mu has free time, he will come over to recruit them.
Maybe you can feel it and become a member of Xiping Village.
Of course, if he really didn't want to stay in Xiping Village in the end, Zhao Ping wouldn't mind and he should be released.
After all, a twisted melon is not sweet.
If you retain someone else's person, you may not be able to retain their heart.
After finishing all this, Zhao Ping called everyone for a meeting again.
The participants were all core members of Xiping Village, such as Zhao Ping's two wives, the chief escort chief Xia Quan, the deputy chief escort chiefs Zuo Zhigang, Mao Shiba, Gao Meng, etc., as well as military advisor Ruan Wendi, and his apprentice Lu Xiu.
Zhao Pingyan expressed his thoughts.
The focus was on the homing pigeons.
Everyone was amazed. After Zhao Ping finished explaining, those reckless men didn't think anything, but Ruan Wendi's eyes lit up.
Shocked, he said: "Okay, great."
"If homing pigeons can be cultivated in large quantities, in the future we can receive news from all over the world as quickly as possible while sitting in Xiping Village, and we can adjust our layout at any time to deal with all possible events."
"Master Ruan, please arrange the manpower to prepare the pigeon breeding base."
Zhao Ping said: "Remember, don't go into the bustling city."
"Try to find some sparsely populated villages. The more secluded the better."
"I……"
Ruan Wendi wanted to cry but had no tears.
Is this the hard work of those who can?
But he is too busy, can't someone come and share the tasks?
Zhao Ping also saw this and could only smile bitterly and said: "Master Ruan, the most resourceful person beside me now is you."
"Although there is also a Li Heran, but that person is tired of official life and only likes to teach and educate people. I can't move him."
"How about you go and invite me?"
Ruan Wendi's face turned even darker. He actually went to invite her, but was scolded.
Ruan Wendi didn't want to be scolded a second time for such a highly respected scholar who couldn't use force.
"I don't think it's right."
However, at this time Liu Mengru said: "I don't think those strategies mentioned by the Sheriff before were Taifu Li's idea."
"Just think about it, we have already invited Mr. Li to Xiping Village, but he is still unwilling to really get involved in political affairs."
"And why are you willing to help the county guard?"
"Is it just to show off his talents?"
"Not him? Who could it be?"
Zhao Ping frowned and said, "Is there anyone in Donghai County who can be as famous as Taifu Li in the way of governing the country?"
