Chapter 288 The telegram came out, Zhu Yuanzhang was ecstatic!Use silver directly?Zhu Di was ecstati
"Principal Song, please come in."
"Yes,"
After getting permission, Song Yingxing hurried into the mansion.
There was a look of joy on his face, obviously something good had happened.
Not long after, Song Yingxing entered the hall, and greeted: "Your Majesty Song Yingxing, I have met Princess Yong'an."
Zhu Ningyun is still young and beautiful, as if time has not left any traces on her body, she gradually noticed this, so she covered herself with more solemn clothes.
Zhu Ningyun nodded slightly, and sat upright in the upper seat, with a graceful and luxurious demeanor, which was formed by managing the family business all the year round.
Zhu Ningyun said: "Principal Song, please sit down, what's the matter today?"
Li Xiao's path is to rejuvenate the country through science and technology, so Song Yingxing is now the president of Beiqing University.
Of course, the main management tasks of the principal are all assigned to the vice principal.
His main job is to lead a group of alchemists to do research, and the other is to publish books and write the research results into books.
These books are kept secret and are not circulated outside, and are mainly used by the Peking Institute of Science.
He also serves as the director of the research institute, but there are not many people in the research institute at present. After the first batch of societies from Beiqing University graduate, talents will be included in the work of the research institute.
"Princess, great news."
Song Yingxing said excitedly: "Our research team has successfully experimented with the use of hydropower. Currently, things that can use electricity, besides light bulbs, have also researched the telegraph."
That's right, the reason why Song Yingxing was so excited was that he successfully made it according to the design plan of the hydroelectric power station left by Li Xiao (with a manual on the principle of hydroelectric power generation and an electric energy user manual). Although it is a small generator, it is represents the first success.
"Have you developed electricity??"
Hearing this, Zhu Ningyun stood up excitedly.
Electric energy, she even understands better than Song Yingxing, what is it.
Because she has seen the future with her own eyes, having electricity is not only as simple as making light bulbs, but also can drive many electrical appliances, such as TVs, computers, and refrigerators.
These are all in the secret room.
But these are brought by the husband from the future, and cannot be mass-produced.
My husband once said that if you want to enter the future society, you need the concerted efforts of countless scientific research talents. This is also the meaning of the birth of Beiqing University.
"That's right! In addition to electricity, there is also the telegraph."
Song Yingxing said excitedly: "The telegraph is amazing. It can transmit signals through wires. Even if it is thousands of miles away, it can be close at hand and quickly transmit information. This is a great invention. The national teacher is really a god. With his drawings, we made incredible things."
Zhu Ningyun didn't seem too surprised, after all, the things in her secret room far surpassed the telegram.
She nodded with a smile and said, "Song Yingxing, the National Teacher did not misunderstand you. Without your ingenuity, a mediocre person would not be able to make it even if he got the drawings of the National Teacher."
This is the truth. There are many things on Li Xiao's drawings that others can't understand, just like reading a heavenly book.
And Song Yingxing is the one who wrote the works of nature. After he systematically studied books such as physics and chemistry, he could learn them immediately and master them well.
Under his leadership, the technology of the Ming Dynasty will flourish even more.
Song Yingxing clasped his hands and said, "Princess, building a power station requires a lot of money and manpower. I don't know if I can ask the imperial court to allocate funds."
Zhu Ningyun thought for a while, and said: "This point, you have to prepare a good plan to persuade the Supreme Emperor. As long as the Supreme Emperor nods, he will definitely support it with all his strength! Especially your telegram, you must focus on it."
Song Yingxing smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, I have already prepared, and now I can use the telegraph with a small power generation device."
"Princess Yong'an, wait a moment."
After finishing speaking, Song Yingxing trotted back again, and after a while, he brought a telegraph machine, and the machine was connected to a wire. Called an alchemist, but a scientific researcher.
"Princess, this is a telegram, which transmits information through electrical pulse signals, and the next official will demonstrate it to you now."
Song Yingxing put the telegram on the table and started typing.
The other end received the signal very quickly, and then the alchemist outside the Duke's mansion replied to the message.
Doot, toot, toot, toot, toot toot
The telegram beeped.
Then Song Yingxing recorded it, opened the translation book prepared in advance, and translated it according to the frequency of the message.
"Look, princess, this is the message from the telegram, which means: Received and replied."
Song Yingxing handed the note to Zhu Ningyun.
Sure enough, information can be transmitted over long distances.
"Okay, great, Song Yingxing, so you have already prepared."
Zhu Ningyun soon realized that this was probably the predecessor of the mobile phone. Although it was extremely crude, it needed development.
Maybe in a few decades, the mobile phone will be born in Daming.
Because my husband once said that China's technology has lagged behind foreign civilizations for more than 200 years.
But in 40 to [-] years, a comprehensive catch-up has been carried out.
Now, my husband can directly use the technology of the future.
Maybe Daming can also be there, tying it up in 40 years? ?
Of course, this was Zhu Ningyun's idea.
Actually it's still difficult.
"It's not too late, I'll take you into the palace to face the saint."
After speaking, Zhu Ningyun got up, made some preparations, and took Song Yingxing into Hongwu Palace.
Soon,
The two came to Hongwu Palace.
"Grandfather, do you know that the soldiers of the Japanese kingdom are vulnerable to a single blow. My grandson and I led three thousand cavalry, and we were invincible. We conquered ten cities in a row and eight families."
At this time, Zhu Gaosui was also talking to Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that the main thing in Japan was to brag about how heroic he was.
As the saying goes, whoever is close to the water first gets the moon, whoever mentions this to the Supreme Emperor first, isn't that the one who is awesome?
Of course, what Zhu Gaosui said was true and could stand scrutiny, as it was found in the battle reports from the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty.
Only, not that detailed.
For example, Zhu Gaosui conquered ten cities, and the eight major families are true.
But those ten cities are actually the size of a county town similar to that of Daming. Because the country of Wa is small, how could the war be as fierce as that of China for thousands of years?The city wall is low and easily taken down.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy to hear it, and kept praising him. He also said that if it hadn't been for crossing the river and crossing the sea, the Japanese kingdom would have been wiped out long ago.
"Hey, my sister is here."
While talking vigorously, Zhu Gaosui saw Zhu Ningyun and hurriedly got up to greet him.
The siblings have not seen each other for several months, and they miss each other very much.
"Gao Tun, are you bragging about yourself again? It seems that you alone are responsible for occupying the Wa Kingdom. Gao Xu has no achievements, and the father has no credit? You swept the entire army by yourself, right?"
Zhu Ningyun joked, then walked over with a smile, and patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "I've grown taller, and it's getting dark. I've worked hard for you during this time."
"hey-hey."
Zhu Gaosui smiled and said: "Sister, you are still so young and beautiful, your skin is well maintained, brother-in-law is really a miracle doctor."
Zhu Ningyun gave him a blank look.
"Ningyun, come to see me again?"
Seeing his favorite granddaughter coming again, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was basking in the sun in the yard, waved, "Come in and have a seat, Song Yingxing is here too, is there something wrong?"
Zhu Yuanzhang knew people like Song Yingxing. Li Xiao once said that the key to the prosperity of Ming Dynasty is such talents.
In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang treated these people with strange skills.
However, since Li Xiao made everyone in Beiping have enough food and clothing, Zhu Yuanzhang began to pay attention to and reflect on his own problems.
People are indeed different and cannot be restricted. Some of them have talents that are not suitable for officials, but they can shine in other ways.
For example, this group of alchemists can make glass and make glass bulbs glow. For example, the train can transport supplies for hundreds of miles a day.
Now, Jianzhou has also started to develop. A large amount of materials are transported by train. If it depends on manpower, it will not work at all.
Zhu Ningyun said: "Grandfather, Mr. Song Yingxing has something good for you. You must be happy to see it."
"Oh? What a good thing?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Please look, the Supreme Emperor. This is a telegram. The other end of the telegram is the colleague of the minister. He is two miles away from the minister at this time."
Song Yingxing put the machine on the ground, sat cross-legged, and began to demonstrate the function of the telegraph.
Doot, toot, toot, toot, toot toot
The telegraph beeped again.
After translating it, Song Yingxing wrote the message on paper and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
[Sir, Zhao Xinglong sees His Majesty, long live my emperor! 】
Holding the paper, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly understood the meaning, and said in surprise: "This Zhao Xinglong is two miles away from me, but he can knock on me from a distance?"
Song Yingxing cupped his hands and said: "Yes, the Supreme Emperor, the telegram is to transmit information, thousands of miles away, it will arrive in an instant!"
Zhu Ningyun smiled at the side. The Xindao light bulb was not very tempting to the imperial grandfather, but this telegram would definitely make him ecstatic.
That's right, Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed at this time, staring at the telegram with his hands behind his back and his big eyes.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked excitedly, "How far is it?"
Song Yingxing nodded and said: "As long as the wires are connected, any orders from the Supreme Emperor can be reached in an instant."
Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed: "My God, a god, a god!! Such a god, you made it?"
Song Yingxing hurriedly said: "The Supreme Emperor is not a subject, this thing is the blueprint and technical books provided by the Great Master of the Ming Dynasty, and I can make it with these things."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "He's still my grandson-in-law. Li Xiao is really a great talent. With the power of one person, he can change the entire Ming Dynasty!! Well, there is no one in the history of the country's most important minister."
Zhu Gaosui on the side was also shocked and his scalp was numb, and he said excitedly: "Grandfather, this is a god, it can't be used by steam trains, if there is this thing, our Ming Dynasty will expand the territory, cooperate with the train, no matter how big the territory is, it can If you can manage it, grandpa, you only need to be in the palace, you can contact the officials all over the world in an instant, and understand the situation and battle reports of various places in an instant!!!”
That's right, in the ancient feudal dynasties, the divisions were separated and combined, and the combined divisions were divided, but the territory never exceeded too far, because it was too far to manage.
The current territory is almost the limit that manpower can manage.
If you have this kind of telegram that transmits information instantly, you can know immediately where there is a rebellion, and the train transports troops to counter the rebellion in an instant.
In terms of management, it is also able to convey government orders in a timely manner.
Zhu Yuanzhang figured out the reason for this in an instant!
"Okay, great! This is the artifact of Zhenguo, the artifact of Zhenguo!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sky excitedly, and the ambition to expand the territory in his heart instantly ignited, "After the fourth brother occupies the Wa Kingdom, he will conquer Oala in the north, so I will also march to the west in person!"
At this time, Tibet and other places were not yet the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and those places were only occupied by the Qing Dynasty.
With the telegram, Zhu Yuanzhang moved this idea.
"Grandfather, you are quite old, just rest. Let the younger generation do these things."
Zhu Gaosui hurriedly grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang, helped him back to the chair, and said, "You can stay in the palace with peace of mind and direct us by telegram."
"Gao Tun, you are sensible."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded: "Just do as you said, your father is our general who conquers the North, and your elder brother is our chief internal affairs officer. We still have so many sons. We will send them all to fight in the future. How much land depends on their ability, and how much land they occupy is considered their feudal land."
Song Yingxing on the side heaved a sigh of relief, seeing that the matter was settled.
"By the way." Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang realize that it would not be so easy to spread the telegram across the country. He looked at Song Yingxing and said, "Song Yingxing, are you here to ask me for money?"
Song Yingxing cupped his hands: "Yes, the Supreme Emperor, first of all is electricity. Starting from power generation, hydropower stations need to be built, which requires a lot of financial resources and manpower. It is comparable to a project like the Grand Canal, but as long as the imperial court allocates money, according to the National Teacher, then Labor will not be a problem, and people will not complain about making money."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Yes!"
Song Yingxing said excitedly: "Thank you, the Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Emperor is wise!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "How much silver do you want?"
Song Yingxing said: "It takes ten million taels of silver to build the Beiping hydroelectric power station first, so that the people of all Beiping can use light bulbs. Then slowly develop the whole country and build power stations everywhere."
Zhu Yuanzhang: "This is too costly. Can't the common people use light bulbs and use telegrams directly?"
Song Yingxing said embarrassingly: "This is a process. First popularize light bulbs and collect electricity usage fees. Our power plants can pay back their costs and enter a virtuous circle. This is what the national teacher said, and I don't quite understand it."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and said: "Yes! As long as the national teacher said it, it is correct."
Zhu Yuanzhang now has a hundred trusts in Li Xiao, except that he can't be made emperor, what can he do in the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Gaosui was surprised and said: "Ten million taels of silver, the imperial court doesn't seem to have that much money to spend. The previous national debt was needed for the Northern Expedition and the construction of the state. Now, elder brother Gao Chi is going to have a headache."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Although it is difficult, let Gao Chi find a way."
Zhu Ningyun smiled and said: "Grandpa, don't worry, Li Xiao said, now that we occupy the Wa country, the silver mines over there will be directly mined by the imperial court, and the mined silver can be used directly, and ten million taels of silver is already in place. .”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, "That's great, Li Xiao has arranged everything for us, so let's do this!"
soon.
Zhu Di, who was in Japan, received a letter from the imperial court.
Zhu Di opened the letter and found that it was written by his daughter.
"You can use such good silver?"
Zhu Di was just happy when he found the letter written by his father and emperor.
"Huh? To build a hydropower station, what is it? It will cost ten million taels of silver."
"The money I just got is gone?" (End of this chapter)
