Emperor Liu Hong

() In the Han Dynasty when there was no telegraph and telephone, it was not generally difficult to transmit information quickly.In order to quickly transmit information, the imperial court built a large number of post stations in various places. If there is an urgent matter, people will pass it on a fast horse.But Liu Hong doesn't have this condition now, and even the so-called [-]-mile rush at the post station is still too slow in Liu Hong's eyes.

How can speed up the transmission of information? After thinking about it, Liu Hong thought of carrier pigeons.Although it is not safe to use pigeons to convey information, it is definitely much faster than riding a horse.Besides, the loss of the carrier pigeon is not irreparable, as long as the carrier pigeon is released, and then send someone to send a message, in this case, it should not delay the matter.

Liu Hong is definitely a man of action, he does what he thinks.But this pigeon was not a common thing in ancient times, especially in the Han Dynasty, and it was not easy to get it.And Liu Hong, as a three-year-old child, even if he has a noble status, he will never be able to get it with his own ability.Therefore, Liu Hong could only go to his housekeeper to find a solution.

Hearing that Liu Hong wanted to raise pigeons, Liu Zhong couldn't help laughing, "Young Master, if you want to do other things, it may take a little effort. But it really doesn't take much effort to raise birds and pigeons. "

"Oh, why is that?"

Liu Hong was quite curious about what the butler said, but after hearing the butler's explanation, he was relieved.

As a close relative of the emperor, his family would be quite ashamed if there were not many patrons in the majestic Hou Mansion.But given the previous situation of his family, how could someone with ability come to his house to be a guest.So in order to save face, the butler took the initiative to recruit a group of gangsters who are good at fighting dogs and playing birds as retainers.

This is also wrong, at least there is no need for Liu Hong to worry about raising pigeons.

"Uncle Zhong, among the people you recruited, which one is the best at raising pigeons, please let him come over."

"Young Master, I'm not very good at this, but among these diners, Lao Zhang has the highest prestige, and they all listen to him. I'll let him come here to listen to your orders, Young Master."

"Okay, just do as you say."

After a while, the housekeeper brought a little old man and said to Liu Hong: "Young Master, he is Lao Zhang, his name is Zhang Jun. I asked him. He has more experience in raising pigeons."

When Liu Hong looked at Zhang Jun, he saw that he was in his 50s, he was quite neat, and he looked very smart.

"Uncle Jun, I heard that you are good at raising pigeons?"

"I don't dare to be called Young Master Junshu. If you don't mind Young Master, just call the little old man Lao Zhang. As for raising pigeons, the little old man has some experience."

"Okay, then I won't be polite, and I will call you Lao Zhang from now on." Liu Hong is also a young master after all, and he doesn't want to call everyone uncle. After hearing Zhang Jun's words, he agreed.Then he said: "Old Zhang, I want to raise pigeons now, where should I buy them, and what should I pay attention to?"

"I don't know what the young master wants to keep pigeons for? There are many kinds of pigeons, some are for viewing, some are for delivering letters, and some are for eating. Each type is different, and the points that need to be paid attention to are also different."

"Oh, there are so many specialties in raising pigeons. I really don't know. I raise pigeons mainly for sending letters. Have you done any research on this?"

"Young Master, you have found the right person. You don't need to buy this pigeon at all. The little old man has been raising pigeons for more than 20 years, and now there are dozens of pairs of pigeons that have been carefully cultivated at home. Go get it for you."

"Old Zhang, you have been a great help. I can't ask you for this carrier pigeon for nothing. You go to the cashier to pay the money later, and I will buy it. Find a few more trustworthy people and help me from now on." Raising pigeons, I will never treat you badly." Liu Hong was very happy that he did not expect to solve the problem of pigeons so easily.

Zhang Jun is also quite happy, he has seen all the changes in the Hou Mansion during this period.He is a shrewd person, and he knows that all these changes are directly related to this young master.With the current situation, the rise of the Hou Mansion is already unstoppable.And now he is doing things for the little lord, as long as he works hard to do things well, he will not dare to say that he is rich and powerful, but he is sure to get ahead.

Probably because he wanted to impress Liu Hong, Zhang Jun sent all the pigeons to Liu Hong early the next morning.Not only that, he also brought two eagles, Liu Hong was very strange about this.

Zhang Jun hastened to explain this, "Young Master, yesterday you said that you keep pigeons to deliver letters. But there is a disadvantage of sending pigeons, that is, they may be caught by birds of prey. And I am not only good at raising pigeons, I most He is good at feeding eagles. Eagles can deliver messages after being fed. And they are not afraid of other birds of prey. The only disadvantage is that they eat meat, which is not as easy to feed as pigeons. Both have their own advantages. I think the little prince You might need it, so you decided to bring the two eagles at home."

"Okay, these two eagles are good. Since they can also send letters, we will raise them together. Isn't it just to eat meat? In such a big mansion as ours, we can make a few eagles poor."

Liu Hong is more interested in eagles than in pigeons.In his previous life, he had seen some eagle lovers go hunting with an eagle on their shoulders, which was quite majestic.Now that he has the conditions, how can he not get an eagle to show off.

Fortunately, Liu Hong also knows that falcons should be raised since childhood.It can understand your commands only after being raised and trained from an early age.But Liu Hong is not in a hurry, after all, he is only three years old now, and he has to wait a few years before going hunting.So he has plenty of time to breed the falcon and wait for the falcon to grow up.

With falcons, how can we lack hounds, which are indispensable for hunting.Taking advantage of the time now, Liu Hong plans to get some good hounds.

Liu Hong's acquisition of hounds was not all for hunting in the future.He knew that for a long period of time to come, the nomads in the north would continue to rebel, disturbing the great man's peace.And if he wants to become emperor, he will inevitably go to war with them.The weather in the north is cold early, and it often snows heavily in mid-August.And once it snows heavily, the action will be hindered.Under normal circumstances, you will not fight in winter, and the fear is that heavy snow will block the road.And dog sledding is the best way to solve this situation. As long as there are enough sleds, foreigners can be caught off guard.If you are lucky, you can even solve the border problem directly once and for all.So he's now planning for a rainy day, raising dogs to solve the sled problem.

Knowing that there are such a group of capable people who know how to fight dogs and play birds in his mansion, how can Liu Hong let them idle, of course he must use them.

Liu Hong likes to play regardless of past and present lives. He had no conditions in his previous life, so he could only watch others play with greedy eyes.But this life is different, he can achieve whatever he wants to play.

Playing is not only Liu Hong's hobby, but also his way of pastime.In this Han Dynasty, which lacked entertainment, if you want not to be suffocated, you can only play differently.

Unexpectedly, this is wrong and wrong again.

Raising dogs and feeding birds is definitely not a proper job for adults to do, but it is only natural for Liu Hong to do so.

As a child, playing is the right thing to do, and not playing is abnormal.Therefore, in the eyes of others, Liu Hong finally looked like a child, and Liu Hong just fell silent, hiding himself deeply.
