Daqin Fusu: It is difficult to start the battle

Chapter 59 The girl closes her eyes just to let you kiss her...

"Your Majesty?" Zhao Ji was slightly stunned.

Fusu sat up from the stool, walked straight to her side, opened the food box, and found that there was pigeon soup with a little oil flakes in it.

A little Jiojio raised up in the soup basin seems to be saying that he can save it again.

Heh, this is the end of procrastination... Fusu kissed Zhao Ji on the cheek to relieve her nervousness, and asked, "Where did you get the pigeons?"

"Emperor, eunuch..." Zhao Ji was not quite used to being attacked by Fusu in public, so she stammered and continued, "Abducted from the eunuch, there have always been pigeons in the palace..."

She looked around with a blushing face, and found that all the palace servants in the palace had retreated, so she closed her almond eyes slightly, and raised a gentle and pretty face.

But Fusu's mind is full of pigeons.

It turns out that in this era, there are already pigeons?
Taiguan, similar to the imperial dining room of later generations, raised livestock waiting to be slaughtered in the pen, and it was not surprising that there were pigeons.

Fusu twitched the beard on his lips. In his impression, the appearance of homing pigeons seemed to be after the Tang and Song Dynasties.

So he always thought that pigeons were also an imported product that was introduced into China slowly.

Since the pigeon is a native species in China, it is easy to handle.

Using pigeons to relay messages is much faster than riding a horse!
He is worried that there is no effective means to quickly obtain emergencies across the country?
Whether it is natural disasters, such as floods and droughts, locusts, and earthquakes; and man-made disasters, such as some guards called after animals...

As long as he can get accurate information at the first time, he can make a decision before the situation is serious.

Fusu recalled the method of domesticating pigeons in his memory, and found that he was completely a layman!
The so-called homing pigeon is to use the pigeon's instinct to recognize the nest, consciously bring the pigeons from the second place to the first place and make them fly back to the second place.

The results of the famous Battle of Waterloo were also passed on to Rothers Hilders by carrier pigeons. Carrier pigeons still played an important role in the war until the era of World War I.

But that's all. As for which kind of pigeon is a carrier pigeon and which is a meat pigeon, what are the selection criteria for a carrier pigeon?
Sorry, I don't understand at all!

Fusu shook his head silently and sighed, but suddenly heard a burst of sobbing.

"Your Majesty...does Your Majesty hate your concubines..."

Zhao Ji lowered her head, big tears rolled down her pretty face, she stood there and started crying.

disgust?how come?Did I do something wrong... Fusu blinked, recalling her actions.

Then suddenly realized, without saying a word, just smiled and hugged Zhao Ji horizontally, and walked to the inner room.

"His Majesty……"

"Don't talk for now, save your throat, wait for a while... From now on, you'd better stop wearing a train!"

"Ok?"

"It's too difficult to take off!"

"I will come by myself..."

"Oh."

"Ah."

……

An hour later, Fusu changed his clothes, and under the leadership of Han Rang, he went to Taiguan Cheng's enclosure.

In the ritual of Zhou, there are six livestock, six beasts, and six poultry in the palm of the cook.

Six domestic animals: pigs, cattle, sheep, horses, chickens, and dogs; Six beasts: elk, deer, bear, 麕 [jūn] (a kind of deer), wild boar (wild boar), rabbit; Six birds: geese, quail, and 鴳[yàn] (a small bird), pheasant, dove, pigeon.

What Fusu wanted to see was a group of Maggie (pigeons) locked in a bamboo cage.

"Your Majesty!" Taiguan Chengxi stepped forward and knelt down to salute.

Although there was no kneeling and worship in the officialdom of the Qin Dynasty, the Taiguancheng was different. He was a slave of the emperor.

He is short and stocky, with dark skin, big face and thick neck... Fusu waved him to get up, and asked, "How many pigeons are there in Xianyang's palace?"

Xi thought for a while, but finally hesitated, and said in a weak tone: "There are always seven or eight thousand..."

Han Rang scolded: "Is it seven thousand or eight thousand! As a Taiguan Cheng, can't you even figure out the number?"

Xi plopped and fell to his knees. The weather wasn't hot, but his back was soaked instantly.

Fusu watched without saying a word. As the chief official, he assisted the official to manage the royal kitchen in the palace, but in the end he didn't even know the number of poultry in the pen. This was a serious dereliction of duty.

So he didn't intend to pardon, the number is unclear, and corruption will inevitably breed. He remembers the story of one tael of silver and one egg of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty clearly!
Han Rang waved his hand, and two tall eunuchs stepped forward and lifted the kneeling and trembling rhinoceros out.

"Does anyone know how many pigeons are kept in the palace?" Han Rang asked the palace man kneeling on the ground.

"Slaves know!" A thin boy who looked about sixteen or seventeen raised his hand.

"Say!"

"Returning to the eunuch order, there are 420 pigeons in Tangchi Palace, no, 410 nine pigeons, pigeon eggs..."

In a short time, Han Rang led someone to check carefully, and found that there was no slight deviation except for the number of pigeon eggs.

But this is not the boy's fault, but some pigeons have just laid eggs.

"Reward a hundred coins, and make him the crown prince." Fusu nodded, turned around and led the people away.

"What's your name?" Han Rang patted the boy on the shoulder.

"Luan Bu!" The young man raised his head, his face full of surprise.

Fusu, who was walking outside, staggered and almost fell.

However, he waved his hand to stop the palace man who rushed forward to help him, and grinned silently.

……

Tangchi Palace, Yuzhong (9-11 am).

On the flat ground on one side of the pen, a temporary shed was erected.

Fusu sat on an armchair under the shed, with the stove on the left and the notes on the right.

He picked up a volume of memorials and read them absent-mindedly.

The new Taiguan Cheng Luan Bu took more than 400 pigeons to Shanglinyuan overnight, tied the legs of the pigeons with bamboo branches, and released them all at the appointed time.

Although Fusu doesn't understand the breeding of carrier pigeons, he still has a little understanding of the simple screening method.

Among the more than 400 pigeons, those who can return at the first time will be used as key training objects to get rid of the fate of being eaten.

Not only pigeons from Lanchi Palace, but also pigeons from Xianyang Palace, Lanchi Palace, etc. will be selected in this way.

Those who can accurately confirm their home and will not be disturbed by the scenery along the way will be used as homing pigeons.

After that, it is to keep flying, and choose the best from the best.

The most robust and agile individuals are kept for breeding, and the rest of the pigeons are sent to various places. In the original post-transmission system, a system of flying pigeons is gradually established.

After a while, before the pigeon flew back, the water on the stove boiled first.

The water was rolling, and the lid of the pot was cracking, but it was a pity that it was Han Rang, not Watt, who stood by the stove, so the right to invent the steam engine could only be attributed to Fusu...

Han Rang quickly took out the tea leaves from the clay pot, put them into the teapot, and poured them into boiling water.

These tea leaves are "fried" by Fusu people.

A total of seven craftsmen and more than 100 catties of green leaves were consumed, and the final selected 'superior' product was only about one catty...

From Fusu's point of view, a finished product that weighs more than one catty costs one yuan per catty, and it can't be more!
