Chapter 521: [Elder Brother]
Chapter 521:
...
In the morning, the headquarters of Feixin Bureau started construction, and Li Chengqian Gang told Duan Zhixuan in detail how to get a pigeon.
In the afternoon, Duan Zhixuan brought in a group of teams from the Feixin Bureau, then stationed in the imperial village courtyard, and started the work of the Feixin Bureau.
Duan Zhixuan pulled a team of soldiers and thirty people and threw them to Fatty Zhu.
..
This is to ask Fatty Zhu to teach them how to train carrier pigeons.
They first learned to raise pigeons from Fatty Zhu, and then got familiar with them, then took the pigeons out, and then let them fly back after reaching a certain distance.
Fatty Zhu was a little stunned.
He only asked someone to recruit students in the morning, and there was only one pigeon raising talent. This person was a pigeon raising person in a nearby farm. After hearing the admission news, he came over to try it out. He was tentatively communicating with Fatty Zhu. Unexpectedly, more than 30 soldiers went out in front of them.
Fatty Zhu swallowed his saliva, then patted the pigeon breeder of the neighbor and said, "I have decided to accept you and will be awarded the honorary title of your senior brother. These thirty junior brothers will be taken by you in the future!"
The pigeon breeder also swallowed his saliva and said, "Butler Zhu, I, Shuanzi, just know how to raise pigeons. I don't know what you said, letting pigeons deliver letters, how can I be the eldest brother?".
The eldest brother Shuanzi said that he was a person with a low status. He only raised pigeons, but he killed them and ate them when he grew up. He never expected that a person with such a status would come to see him after hearing the news and was awarded such a high position.
Speaking of this Pigeon Academy, Li Chengqian is the top of it. The second-in-command is Fatty Zhu, and Shuanzi suddenly became the third-in-command of Pigeon Academy. This seems to be too exaggerated!
"You don't understand it now. Our Pigeon Academy is called unconventional. The first one is the best!" Fatty Zhu said in a profound way, "Of course, you are the first one to come, and you will be rewarded. Of course, you will have to use you again!"
He pushed Shuanzi and said, "Okay, go and teach them!"
He turned to the soldiers and said, "From now on, you all have to listen to the senior brother, do you know?"
Thirty soldiers responded neatly and loudly: "Here."
The eldest senior brother Shuanzi was so scared that his body trembled. Fatty Zhu was very busy. So he stopped staying here, so he let the eldest senior brother perform his own way here.
As soon as Fatty Zhu left, Shuanzi was left here. Thirty strong masculine soldiers stared at him, which made Shuanzi particularly stressed.
Should I say something at this time?
Shuanzi's mind whispered, coughed, and said, "Uh, this is how pigeons are raised. You have to feed them. How do pigeons know that you want to feed them? So they have to call them pigeons, but pigeons don't understand human words, what should I do?"
The soldiers just listened and didn't speak.
Seeing that Shuanzi was talking like this, he was no longer so nervous, so he continued, "I did this, learn from the sound of pigeons. The sound of pigeons is cooing, so when they want to feed the pigeons, they also cooed a few times. When they heard it, they knew that you wanted to feed them, and they flew over!"
The more he spoke, the more he became more and more excited, and he found that he felt very accomplished when he talked about these things he knew in front of these soldiers who didn't know anything.
He couldn't stop talking at this time and told everything he knew.
The venue was moved from this yard to the pigeon shed after a while, and the first practical class of the Pigeon Academy began.
At this time, Li Chengqian was sitting in the first office of the temporary office of Feixin Bureau, opposite him was Duan Zhixuan.
After taking a leisurely sip of tea, he said to Duan Zhixuan opposite him: "General, the speed is not enough. You must understand this principle!"
"There are obviously hundreds of pigeons now, why not let the soldiers take them out and let them fly?" Duan Zhixuan still insisted on his opinion and said.
He just told Li Chengqian that although the money has not been pulled out now, there are hundreds of pigeons on the farm, and the soldiers do not need money. So let the soldiers take the pigeons out and start training, so that they can train the pigeons as soon as possible, and then they can use it in Songzhou.
Li Chengqian disagreed, and the reason was very good: the pigeons still had to lay eggs, and they still had to hatch eggs after laying them.
A large number of available pigeons will be needed at this time next year, so now we need to let the pigeons rest.
"General, this pigeon is not only used for a while, it will only be useful in one or two years. Now it is useless to be in a hurry to train."
"Can't you buy pigeons from other places tomorrow for use?" Duan Zhixuan asked.
"It is OK to buy pigeons, and it is inevitable to buy them. However, the pigeons purchased cannot be used for carrier pigeons, nor for carrier pigeons sent to military newspapers." Li Chengqian was a bit funny about Duan Zhixuan's idea of such an amateur.
He explained: "I am the one who studies carrier pigeons now. But I haven't studied it very deeply, so the pigeon has to be moved to another place after the egg is broken, so how can it be raised so that it can fly out and fly back to the place where it raises it. So those purchased pigeons will fly back here like the pigeons I used to take to the East Palace here. If you use the purchased pigeons and let it deliver the letter, it will not come here and fly back to its original owner's house? If it is a military news report, then it will leak when it goes to the wrong place! Unless you open multiple branches and set up a branch in his house for every purchase. So, this is unreasonable."
Duan Zhixuan thought about Li Chengqian's explanation and still felt it made sense and nodded.
He asked, "Since other people's pigeons are not good, how can your highness say that buying is inevitable?"
"Because you can buy the next raw eggs, the first generation cannot do it, and the second generation will be hatched after laying eggs. This is a brand new local pigeon, so it will fly back. Moreover, there are some pigeons suitable for being carrier pigeons, and some are not suitable. We need to find excellent breeds of carrier pigeons from the pigeons, so that we can build a real flying game!"
This makes sense, Duan Zhixuan nodded. It's just like humans. Children born in strong families are strong, while children born in weak families are not good.
However, Duan Zhixuan thought again that the female pigeon lays eggs and hatches eggs at home. Where is the male pigeon? Isn’t it a waste to keep it at home?
"Your Highness wants the female pigeon to lay eggs, so can't you pick out the male pigeons and let them train in advance?" Duan Zhixuan said.
This is because he has too high demands. When he has arrived at a new position, he is just sitting here to drink tea. He is very unhappy!
When Li Chengqian heard his words, his eyes bulged and his face turned red.
Then he laughed.
"Report, General, Your Majesty summoned me, the army from Songzhou has reported!" A soldier ran in and said.
