Chapter 279: The Pigeon
I didn't expect the information to spread so quickly, Chen Ping looked at Zhou Yu and was a little strange: "You want to go to Linyi, but do you know where Linyi is and where it is?" ”
"I don't know, but I do know that it must be very remote, and I heard that the people in that place feed on people. "Speaking www.biquge.info of this, Zhou Yu shuddered, as if he had experienced it, and was deeply frightened.
After walking around the county office, I found a verandah to block the light and make it cooler.
Chen Ping saw Zhou Yu shrinking behind him, looking trembling, and said with a smile: "What? It's not the first time I've seen it, how can it be like this? ”
"You are now a county magistrate, so you have to be polite, and you can't mess up your identity." Zhou Yu said.
"Okay, between you and me, what are you talking about? You are familiar with my uncle, and I was in trouble in my uncle's family before, and thanks to your help, in this way, you are also meritorious to my family, and there is no need to talk about those etiquette. Chen Ping waved his hand, "Lin Yi is far away from Yangzhou, which is good." The inhabitants of that place, like us, eat rice, but they also eat what is on the side, which we do not have in this place. ”
Zhou Yu is the one who took the initiative to say that he wanted to go to Linyi, and there are many rumors about Linyi's customs and habits, like that ghost and monster, which makes people fearful, which makes Chen Ping feel that it is necessary to explain, otherwise he will be afraid, and if he does not travel, he may fall behind in momentum.
"What's that?" Zhou Yu asked.
"Rats, cockroaches, and the others." Chen Ping said, "Of course, there are also occasional cannibalisms. ”
"Is it really cannibalism?" Zhou Yu was startled, his face pale, "Is it because there is a shortage of rice and grain in that place?" The people did not eat, so they had to eat human flesh? ”
Chen Ping shook his head: "That's not it, the climate in Linyi is suitable, and it is very suitable for sowing rice." They don't eat human flesh on weekdays, but when they are fighting the enemy, they will occasionally catch and eat the enemy. ”
Hate the enemy to the core, cook and eat it, not only in Linyi, but also in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and some people do the same.
Zhou Yu's physique is not suitable for entering the military mansion as a guard, but Zhou Yu's words today reminded Chen Ping that when he returned to Baitu Village and met Zhang Shan'an and other guards, he still needed to be a good student to tell them.
"Are you still going?" Chen Ping asked.
Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, made a bitter face, took two steps back and forth under the verandah, and finally gritted his teeth: "Go." ”
Sighing, Chen Ping persuaded: "If you want to go to Linyi together, it's not impossible." But with your physique, it's harder to get into the military. ”
This is a tactful refusal.
Chen Ping hopes that his subordinates, in addition to special talents other than military doctors and civilians, can be brave men with a few people.
"I know all this, but I heard that the county is recruiting doctors." Zhou Yu came with preparations, and did not flinch because of Chen Ping's refusal.
Chen Ping was a little surprised: "Do you know medical skills?" ”
"I don't understand, but I'll be there." In the previous sentence, Zhou Yu looked very imposing, but in the second half of the sentence, the words went down again, "Pigeons, I will raise pigeons." ”
Chen Ping looked at Zhou Yu, and after a while, he said, "Is it a carrier pigeon?" ”
"Hmm." Zhou Yu nodded his head, "I don't know if it's okay?" I thought that Chen County ordered you to go to Linyi, the road is far away, if you miss home, using carrier pigeons, it must be more convenient than people. ”
"Tell me why you want to go to Linyi?" Using carrier pigeons to deliver letters, since it is more than people, and it is safe, the information inside, can be written in the way of code, even if the carrier pigeon due to natural enemies, resulting in the attached letter falling, let people pick up do not have to worry. Chen Ping has considered recruiting pigeon trainers, but because he is not in a hurry for a while, he did not deliberately search, but he didn't expect that there would be such people around.
In this way, it saves the trouble of searching. The trip to Linyi also happened to come in handy.
Zhou Yu saw Chen Ping asking, so he said: "I don't want to stay in the post for the rest of my life, just wipe the tables and chairs, wash the dishes and chopsticks, and worry about my life." First, if you are not careful, you may anger the nobles, and the punishment is small, and it is even possible to lose your head. ”
"But if you follow me into the army, you will also have military law, and you will be punished for violating military law, and I will not open up to you just because I know you. If the military law is not strict and the enemy is cowardly, it is not only you who will die, but also the guards who will be involved in the death of the guards. Chen Ping said something first, and said a word to Zhou Yu, seeing his timid expression, he slowed down his tone again, "However, if you enter the military palace and follow me, I will definitely not treat you as an ordinary guard." Although you have to participate in weekday training, you don't have to be like most people. You know why? ”
"Because Chen County ordered you to need me to train carrier pigeons?" Zhou Yu asked tentatively.
After all, he did it in the post, ushered in the send-off, the people are sophisticated, if the head turns slowly, he will definitely be reprimanded or punished, Zhou Yu's head is not stupid.
"Well, that's right. Others train their bodies, practice their weapons, and practice how to kill the enemy. You can be slow, but train pigeons, be sure to meet my requirements. If I can do that, I can take you in, and on weekdays, I don't have to follow the guards into battle to kill the enemy. "Professionals, since they are in the camp, Chen Ping is reluctant to let them out.
"I'll go." Zhou Yu said.
"Okay, early tomorrow morning, I want to see the carrier pigeons you trained, if you are satisfied, when you set off, you will go to Linyi with me." Chen Pingdao.
"Thank you for the county order Chen." Zhou Yu was busy and very happy.
"Okay, now can you tell me why you want to go to Linyi with you?" Chen Ping glanced at Zhou Yu, as if he saw what Zhou Yu was thinking, which made the latter's joy immediately turn into embarrassment.
Touching his head, Zhou Yu said: "I heard Yu Qing say that those guards who followed you, each received a lot of silver, a few taels of silver. Even those guards who died in battle, there are more pensions at home than others. These are all the money that Chen County ordered you to pay for yourself, and it is better to follow you than in the post. I don't have any skills, last time, the imperial court levied feathers, if it weren't for your help, the fields and houses at home probably wouldn't be able to be saved. ”
Chen Ping knew that the money obtained by Zhang Shan'an and the guards was not all out of Chen Ping's own pocket, in fact, in addition to the monthly money promised before, the next thing was the private goods obtained when he exterminated the bandits.
A small part was handed over to the military government, and the rest, Chen Pingquan let Zhang Shanan and others divide it. However, for those dead guards, the bereavement pensions at home are mostly Chen Ping's own money.
In the same week, Yu set a date, and one of the parts of Chen Ping's plan was carried out in a form that did not take any effort, and he was quite comfortable.
led a horse and went to the house southeast of the county. The courtyard was still the same, with some dead leaves on the ground inside, but no one cleaned it.
"Why are you looking for me in such a hurry?" Just tied the reins, behind Chen Ping, Zhu Xie turned out, unaware, "I'm very busy, do you know, I got the news, I rushed back overnight." (To be continued.) )
