Chapter 87 How to distinguish male and female flies

Chapter 87 How to distinguish male and female flies

The local people of Fobao are not actually very opposed to Chen Gu and others as their new boss.

Because when Zhang Haomin first came to Fobao, he did not do anything to oppress the locals. Instead, he hired a lot of local people to build houses for his brothers, and these people made a lot of benefits.

In addition, Chen Ke's promise yesterday to reduce the land rent by 20% this year made everyone very happy.

Now we heard that many craftsmen on the boss' side were recruiting apprentices, which meant that the boss was going to open many workshops, and everyone suddenly became excited.

People of this era are actually not afraid of hard work.

Why is work called work?

Because only by doing things can you survive.

Chen Gu recruited so many craftsmen, so naturally he had to build a workshop. Although it was mainly used to manufacture military equipment, it did not mean that he would not make civilian items at all.

Especially now that Buddhist treasures are extremely scarce, if we want to develop, we must have civilian items.

The bamboo stage was only about one meter high. There was not much height difference between Lao Piao standing below the stage and Chen Gu who was sitting on the stage directing, so it was just right for them to talk.

Of course, Chen Gu doesn't need to take care of these things personally. He just needs to tell Zhang Haomin. Iron workshops, woodworking workshops, ceramic kilns, quarries, etc. must all be established as soon as possible.

Among those who were laughing, Lao Piao was the one laughing the happiest. He was holding a cucumber and eating it while walking towards Chen Gu on the platform.

The training seemed simple, but it was full of mistakes and omissions. All day long, old men and women with their children would stand by and watch the fun. Especially when turning left or right, there would always be bursts of laughter all around.

Chen Gu's focus is still on training soldiers. He is quite good at training soldiers, after all, he was originally a soldier.

Lao Piao did not come here to discuss with Chen Gu how to train soldiers, nor did he continue to comment on Chen Gu's training methods. He rolled his eyes and stated his purpose, "I heard that Wu Hua's family is making rifles. Can you give me one to play with?"

"You don't understand. You will know in a few days."

So the next day, Chen Gu gathered all the soldiers in the threshing ground. The training on the first day was very simple, with basic items such as standing at attention, turning forward, backward, left and right, marching in step, and running in step taking turns.

"Turn left, look forward, target Qingyuan Palace, run in step!" Chen Gu shouted. After Yunhua led the soldiers to slowly run towards Qingyuan Palace, Chen Gu looked at Lao Piao.

Although there is no need to charge in neat military formations in the era of hot weapons, training military posture and formations is still necessary. This is a method that can improve soldiers' personal will, physical fitness, image and temperament, as well as execution ability.

In comparison, the scoundrel-looking Lao Piao doesn't look like a soldier at all.

"Your training method doesn't seem very good. Is there anything wrong with turning around, standing for a while, and walking for a while?"

No matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives. Lao Piao should not be afraid of kitchen knives, but he is definitely afraid of rifles, especially the rifle in Chen Gu's hands.

In the past, Chen Gu only had one rifle, so Lao Piao naturally would not have any idea of ​​attacking them. But when he learned that in addition to the 150 people led by Yun Hua, Wu Hua's family was also in Qingyuan Palace, Lao Piao made a special effort to inquire about what Wu Hua's family did.

After learning that Wu Hua's family made rifles, Lao Piao immediately came to find Chen Gu. "If you want a rifle, you must first take the eyesight test!" Chen Gu said.

Lao Piao was stunned and asked, "Does using a rifle require good eyesight?"

"Nonsense, the targets are all a hundred steps away. How can we attack them if we can't see them clearly?" Chen Gu said unhappily.

"Of course I can do it. I have very good eyesight. I can even tell a male or female fly when it flies by!" Lao Piao was talking nonsense.

"Just blow it, you don't even have to fly over. Even if I catch a fly for you, you still won't be able to tell the male and female!" Chen Gu was somewhat speechless.

Lao Piao rolled his eyes and said, "How about if I can tell the difference between male and female flies, you can give me a rifle?"

Chen Gu couldn't help but feel a little toothache, and at the same time he looked at Lao Piao suspiciously. Could it be that this guy really studied how to distinguish male and female flies?
However, as the leader of a row, Lao Piao is considered an absolute senior figure in the cottage and is naturally qualified to be equipped with rifles. No matter how scarce rifles are, it is impossible for the senior figures to be short of these rifles.

"Tell me, how do you tell male and female flies apart?"

"The one with a big belly is female, the one with a small belly is male, the one with a pointed butt is female, and the one with a round butt is male. This is what my monk master said. What do you think? Give me a rifle!" Lao Piao said with some pride.

Chen Gu didn't know whether what Lao Piao said was true, but since he was so confident, it couldn't be false. In this case, his monk master was quite interesting. Someone who could study the difference between male and female flies in this era was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Tell me about your monk master first?" asked Chen Gu.

"What's there to say? It's right at Dengyun Mountain in Shidu. If you want to know, just go and see for yourself. If you have fast legs, you can walk back and forth in a day." Lao Piao said with a depressed mood.

"Is your monk master not treating you well?" Chen Gu asked.

"It's pretty good. He picked me up and raised me when I was little, so how could it be bad? But he kicked me out and won't let me go back." Lao Piao sighed, "I just eat a little more, but I also do a lot of work!"

"What do your monk master know?" asked Chen Gu.

"He can treat illnesses, and he's very good at it. Not only can he treat humans, he can also cure sick pigs, cows, sheep, horses, chickens, ducks, and geese. It's a pity that he doesn't charge for his treatments, otherwise the temple would not have run out of food." Lao Piao said and sighed again.

Now it was Chen Jue's turn to roll his eyes, "Look, Lao Piao, we have three palaces and six temples for Buddhist treasures, but now there are no monks. So many people always need to pray to Buddha and pray to God, and we don't have any good doctors here, how about we invite your master over?
We have no shortage of food here, let alone vegetarian food. Even if your monk wants to eat chicken, duck, fish and meat, I can supply him with it every day."

"My master will never leave Dengyun Mountain!"

"Do you have any senior brother?" Chen Gu asked.

"There are three or four, but my relationship with those senior brothers is not good!" Lao Piao said somewhat disappointedly.

Chen Gu couldn't help but talk about it and said with a smile: "You ate a lot before, so your relationship was not good, but we are not short of food now, go find your brothers and tell them.

We not only have more food than we can eat, but we also have money to earn, three palaces and six temples, and a big house to live in. You can continue to be a monk, or you can return to secular life and get married. As long as you succeed, I will give you a rifle."
