?In the northern suburb of Xiyang City, the lakeside manor, Yu Wenwen walked on a mound, listening to the sound of reading next door, and looking at the houses being built in front of him from time to time. This is his future "lakeside villa", and the manor is a formal villa other than the mansion in the city.

He also has a ‘villain’ in Bahe City, but that is just a place to facilitate a temporary lunch break. Most of the functions are used as a procurement point, and some people are responsible for purchasing various aquatic products.

In order to train troops and fight and to show their ambitions in Bazhou, Yuwen Wen did not focus on enjoying himself and was in the mood to make any land. Now he has a rare opportunity to encircle hundreds of hectares of wasteland by the lake and have a "happy farm mode".

It’s easy to say that the other parts of the villa are in progress, and the construction of the ‘villa’ needs to be stepped up. Yuwen Wen’s wife and the side room are like birds in cages. They have been trapped in the mansion in the city for more than a year, and it is time for some villas to come out to change their mood.

"Master Lang, you are ready." A one-armed man said respectfully. Yuwen Wen nodded when he heard this and walked towards another yard. The one-armed man and Zhang Yu followed him left and right.

The guard guarding the gate of the courtyard was also a disabled person. His right calf had been replaced by a wooden stick, but he was very energetic and did not look decadent at all. When he saw Yuwen Wen approaching, he quickly greeted him.

"How about it? Are you still used to it when you move to this villa? " Yuwen Wen asked. The man smiled and said that the old and young people in the family were reluctant to leave. The villa was surrounded by a lake. The scenery was good. I thought the two young men in the mansion would be very happy.

Yuwen Wen patted his shoulder and walked through the courtyard gate. A low roar sounded immediately. More than a dozen rusty red figures were constantly trying to break free from the iron chains, and the person holding the iron chain could hardly pull these things.

"Be honest, be honest!" One person shouted loudly. The figures became much more honest when they heard the sound. Yuwen Wen walked up slowly, looked at the mavericks, and asked interestingly:

"Tian Wuwei, are these paired by one male and one female?"

"The envoys are all right, and a few of them are pregnant, so they are so fierce." Tian Yilong replied, and then added: "The envoys can just call Tian's name, don't be so polite."

"How can that be done? The young sect leader is now a Sima of Wuwei. Although he is a scattered rank with the second life, he is no longer a civilian." Yuwen Wen said with a smile. Tian Yilong fought with the army many times last year and led his tribe members and the village soldiers to make many contributions, so he was awarded the scattered rank with the second life by Daxingtai, preparing to enter the military organization.

Yuwen Wen asked what breed these dogs were. Tian Yilong said that this was brought from Shu. Locals called this dog Zhugou, and it was most suitable to take it to the house to protect the yard or hunt.

"Shu...it doesn't matter." Yuwen Wen doesn't know much about Sichuan dogs, but local hunting expert Tian Yilong said yes, so there's basically no problem.

"Do you all know how to raise it?" he asked, and the few people leading the dog nodded, saying that after staying in Tianshi Fort for several months, the dogs had recognized them and could breed with peace of mind after they got used to this new place.

"Look at it, don't hurt anyone. There are still children in the other yard, so there must be no accident."

"Yes, the man."

Yuwen Wen looked carefully at these hunting dogs with rusty red fur. Unlike the common native dogs, Chinese pastoral dogs, these dogs looked inverted trapezoidal shapes, with wrinkles on the face; their ears were upright, and they were triangle-shaped; their eyelids were thick and their eye sockets were protruding, their eyes were a little sharp and their faces were evil.

The nose is black and shiny, the mouth is a bit like a bamboo tube, the lips are black and the teeth are white and sharp, and the tongue is a bit spot-like black lines; the front chest is wide, the forelimbs are thick, the shoulder blades to the lower legs are like an inverted vase; the hind limbs are slightly longer, and the overall curve is like a bent bow.

Of course, the main feature is that the fur is rust red or dark brown, and the weight is at least fifty kilograms, which looks very powerful. What Yuwen Wen wants is this uniqueness.

When he was in Chang'an, he was naturally indispensable to flying eagles and lackeys with others. The nobles had never played with them, so he had seen many hunting dogs. However, after coming to Anzhou, he had no intention of hunting, and when he arrived in Bazhou, he was even more busy with war. Hunting was a fashionable leisure activity that had nothing to do with him. It was not until one day when he was a visitor at Tianshi Fort.

Of course, he didn't want to eat dog meat, but was attracted to a group of hunting dogs raised by Tian Yilong. At that moment, he felt that his future "consecration" would have to be a good outfit. There was no need to think about the big wolf dog. The hunting dog with red rust all over his body was just right.

A group of consecration office workers in cool uniforms, holding grinning hunting dogs, walked fiercely on the street, shouting, "As ordered to handle the task, give way." Then, when they saw the suspect running, they immediately let the dog bite...

Of course, it's just thinking about it. Yuwen Wen mainly planned to use it to protect the home, because this villa is the "lake view vacation villa" for his family. Safety is put first, especially those who are malicious.

If you really have time on weekdays, you will take it out for hunting. This is to cultivate your sentiment and a way to interact with your subordinates.

He explained some precautions and asked the servants to lead the more than ten "couples" to settle down in their new homes, and then led Tian Yilong to visit the unfinished manor.

"Since it is a hunting dog produced in Shu, how did Tian Langjun get it?" Yuwen Wen asked.

"Don't you like hunting? You're thinking about overwhelming someone else's head. The merchants in Shu just recommended this kind of hunting dog, so they bought a few of them to raise them. The result is really good. I bought a lot of them and returned to breed them." Tian Yilong explained.

"I heard that these dogs can fight wild boars? Do you need special training?" Yuwen Wen asked again.

"Of course, training is required, but it will not be too difficult. If the envoy does not dislike it, I can guide the servants in the mansion to train."

"I'm afraid that Chang Zongchang will have any objections if he asked you to come all day long, right?" Yuwen Wen said with a smile.

"Hey, now my father is always circling around his grandson, so where can I keep in mind?"

Yuwen Wen smiled. Since Tian Yilong had a son, his father Tian Zongguang's focus has been on his grandson. Tian Yilong, who likes to hunt and plays guns and sticks all day long, has no restraint. In addition, he fights with the army from time to time, and is completely a dragon that breaks away from the iron chain into the river.

"There is a question, of course, that's the question." He suddenly stopped and said, seeing Tian Yilong's scrupulous look, he asked faintly: "Can you train a hunting dog to bite people, such as catching a thief?"

"This is OK, but..." Tian Yilong hesitated for a moment and added: "If you bite people frequently, it's not good."

"Do you like eating human flesh?"

"This is not. It's much more unruly just because you bite someone. If you don't train, you can easily hurt people when hunting..."

Some questions that people who can answer probably have experienced. Yu Wen Wen will not recklessly break the casserole and ask the questions to the end, and it is enough to understand them in his heart, so he can stop after getting the answer he wants.

He didn't want to take his subordinates to the streets and force the women to rob people in the streets, and be bullies who let dogs and bites people and bully the people. However, it is useful to be able to follow the command and pursue people, especially for pursuing them.

One of the most popular hunting dogs for the nobles in Chang'an was the famous sliver dog, which was the prototype of Erlang Shen's sliver dog in mythology. However, there was no place to get a serious sliver dog on the edge of the Yangtze River. The local dog looked too honest, so Yuwen Wen found a way to get a suitable hunting dog.

Tian Yilong raised more than this kind of hunting dog, and there is another kind of hunting dog that was bought from Shu and raised from home, but the fur color does not look as cool as the bamboo dog.

After careful training, these bamboo dogs not only hunt, but also track and pursue people. Yuwen Wen asked the servants to learn how to raise dogs first. At that time, those Ye Xiao who lurked in Xiyang City and ran faster than mice than rabbits will be not far from the end of the world.

After walking around the manor, Tian Yilong said goodbye and left. Not far from the yard, a group of birds flew over his head. He looked up and saw that there were gray and white among them, flying towards a small building in the manor.

"It seems like a pigeon? However, I am not interested in eagles. I am more good at training eagles than dogs..." Tian Yilong murmured to himself.

......

On a two-story building, Yuwen Wen was talking to several people. These people were all disabled, and they were surrounded by cages, and each cage had cooing pigeons.

This is the pigeon that Yuwen Wen has saved up for two years. Although a large flock of pigeons embellished the lakeside manor with a good scenery, his purpose of raising pigeons is to convey the message first.

The timeliness of news is more important than anything else.

Pigeons have the habit of returning to their nests, so humans use this, so there are carrier pigeons, which are familiar to later generations. But in this era, it is impossible to say that there are no books on flying pigeons, but it has not been popularized yet, and pigeons are at the turning point of their destiny.

As early as a thousand years ago, there were pigeons on the recipes of Emperor Zhou. At that time, most pigeons were wild birds, and their main purpose was to eat them. Later, they were gradually trained to become domestic pigeons and became ornamental birds during the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Then, slowly, some people took advantage of their return to the nest and tried to use pigeons to convey messages. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, some people began to consciously train domestic pigeons to deliver letters, and now Yuwen Wen has become a "pioneer".

Without ready-made experience to learn, he could only explore slowly. He couldn't even distinguish pigeon breeds, and he relied on constantly "burning money" to try.

The smell in the pigeon loft was a bit ‘characteristic’. Yuwen Wen stayed for a while before turning out, walking in the open space and breathing in the fresh air.

"Eunuch, this is a pigeon that has returned from An 6. Please check the notes on it." A one-eyed dragon said. Yuwen Wen took the notes he handed over and looked at them, nodding with satisfaction:

"Good job, have the pigeons adapted to their new home?"

"I've adapted. I've also flew back to the mansion last month, but now I've gotten used to it."

"Take it slowly, breeding is not a matter of overnight." Yuwen Wen said, "In the future, you can slowly expand the distance and go to Jiangling, Xiangyang, and then go to Wucheng."

He specially arranged for the number of people present to raise pigeons. It took him more than a year to get this foundation. He first collected pigeons, then was able to feed them, and then breed smoothly. Now he began to try purposeful breeding.

These disabled people were all new soldiers of the year. After being injured in previous battles, they had their hands or feet or had blinded their eyes. Yu Wen Wen did not let them fend for themselves after giving up their pensions, and they all came to the mansion to do things.

This is true for other disabled people. They are old comrades-in-arms of the Hulin Army soldiers. Of course, Yuwen Wen is not using waste, but arranged appropriate work for them separately, and raising pigeons is one of them.

Raising pigeons is just starting from scratch. Yuwen Wen doesn’t know how to raise pigeons, so naturally these people don’t know how to raise them. First, they went through hardships to buy pigeons, and after exploring for a long time, they didn’t know how much they killed. Some of them didn’t come back as soon as they went out, and they didn’t know whether they had escaped or were eaten by others.

The breeding pigeons may not be used in combination, and they have to be released to the nest for training. No matter how the training method is, they can only be tried.

I slowly figured out the habits of the pigeons and knew the correct breeding method. After a long time of struggle, I finally touched the way. The physique of the breeding pigeons also began to stabilize, and the appropriate period for release on weekdays was also summarized.

The distance for pigeons to return to the nest training has gradually increased, from five to ten miles to fifty miles. Now the pigeons can return to the nest safely hundreds of miles away.

Yuwen Wen took office in Bazhou, and the pigeon loft was in the mansion. I won’t talk about the dense pigeon dung. The main reason is that there are many people in the city. At this time, ordinary people don’t know much about using pigeons to spread news, but those who are interested will sooner or later notice the clues.

Not to mention that the pigeons flying around the city are not safe, and they are easily taken down by people to cook and add vegetables. So Yuwen Wen took the land and moved the pigeon loft outside the city. Of course, in order to cover up the truth about raising pigeons in large quantities, he specially let out the air and said that he "loved to eat pigeon meat."

The disabled soldiers who worked in the mansion moved to the manor and worked as tenant farmers, cultivated the land under Yuwen Wen's name, and handed over the harvest to themselves, which also accumulated popularity for the huge manor.

"Master, it's much more convenient to place the pigeon loft outside the city. But if you receive an urgent report in the evening, how can you enter the city?" Someone asked, the curfew in Xiyang City has always been strictly implemented. Although it is not that it cannot be handled specifically, it is always a lot of trouble.

"The city gate cannot be opened at will at night. This is a problem, but there is always a solution, right?" Yu Wen Wen didn't care. He thought about this problem and had a solution.

Suddenly, a man ran out of the pigeon loft, holding a thin reed tube in his hand. He respectfully handed the reed tube to Yuwen Wen and reported: "Master Lang, it is the news from Yiyang County."

"Yiyang County? It seems that there is no training program today, right?" Yuwen Wen asked, pulling out a note from the reed tube.

"According to the plan, it should be the pigeons to be released tomorrow morning, and the same goes for Qizhou and Yizhou." One-eyed Dragon replied.
