Communication is an effective tool for rulers to effectively control the country or an organization, so the emperors of all dynasties have attached great importance to the construction of postal routes, whether it is a post road or a post house is a necessary nerve and artery of an empire.

However, no matter how fast the means of communication in the medieval world were, even if it was a flying pigeon or even a falcon to transmit information, it was not as fast as the telegraph line, but the current Asian telegraph line network had not yet been fully completed, and the transmission of information could only be limited with the power of the telegraph.

At present, one of the longest telegraph lines in Asia is the Ryukyu to Kagoshima sea cable, while the other is 80% complete from Shanghai to Beijing.

At present, Shanghai to Nanjing, to Fuzhou, to Jinan can already have direct information, and in another month, the last section of the line from Jinan to Beijing will also be completed.

In addition, the lines of Chang'an, Luoyang and Zhengzhou have also been completed, and they will be connected to the main network in a month and a half at the latest. Now Zuo Zongtang's Western Expeditionary Army is fighting with the Ganshan area, and in the past, it took a month and a half for a military report from the marshal to enter Beijing quickly, but now with the help of the telegraph line, it can arrive in Beijing in fifteen days at the latest.

Although there are still some corrupt people attacking the telegraph line and creating all kinds of superstitious rumors, the imperial court has really tasted the sweetness of high technology, and the smooth flow of information is really helpful for the Forbidden City to control the empire.

But after all, the rotten Confucians have a rotten stench, and their brains can only understand the three emperors and five emperors described in the ancient books, those fantasy heavens, everything that the saints have not said, they think is wrong.

Of course, the silver and copper coins of the white flowers are an exception, and they don't want to think about it, before the three emperors and five emperors of the Qin and Han dynasties, copper was equivalent to gold.

And now the Qing Dynasty, has already implemented the silver standard, shiny silver has become the mainstream of currency, it is said that those rotten Confucians should speak out, despise silver, Confucius sage has not spent silver!

But at this point, everyone chose to be silent, who would have trouble with money, huh?

The rots don't attack silver, but they can attack anything else they can't read, like telegraph wires. In the eyes of those traditional Confucian scholars, the telegraph line is nothing more than the heavenly ear that drives the ghosts to transmit information.

If you don't say that's right, then you can explain to me why Shanghai sent a signal, and Jinan Prefecture received it in the blink of an eye? How could such a thin copper wire, if there were no ghosts hidden in it?

You also tell them the principle of electricity, in their hearts, electricity is a tool played by ghosts and gods, and mortals should not touch it too much.

Since the beginning of Fuqing, the construction of telegraph lines has been promoted, but the traditional departments such as the Shangshu Office and the Military Aircraft Department have been able to receive excerpts attacking the construction of telegraph lines almost every day.

Of course, Qingliu Hanchen knew that the imperial court was already determined to build a telegraph line, and they also knew that their folds would be lost in the end, and it was estimated that the high-level officials were not in the mood to see it.

But Qingliu always has to find something to do, otherwise how can they realize their existence, these rotten people who stare and find fault are like aggressive roosters, if they don't blow up their feathers, others don't know how to write the words.

The folds are piled up more and more, and the court is still silent, and the more silent the group of people becomes, the more energetic they become, and they intensify their attacks on the telegraph plan.

But none of them thought that in this rebellion in Beijing, those officials who tore up their bonds and had no money to spend would actually suffer from the lack of protection from telegraph lines.

Because the whole conspiracy was not designated by Xiao Letian at all, Xiao Letian would take at least three days to get the news of Jingshi, and the whole chaos was actually done by the two people of Ding Shopkeeper and Chun Thirteen Niang.

Hanlin Feng Fu just drank half a catty of wine in the pot shop, a big bowl of boiled boil, spent the last dozen or so copper plates in his pocket, and walked home.

On the way, he saw a seller of sweet osmanthus cakes, touched the last two copper coins, thought about his six-year-old daughter, and said with a wry smile......, "Anyway, it's all gone, what's the use of the two big money?

Two big money can only buy four small pieces of osmanthus cake, and under the disdainful gaze of the peddler, Feng Hanlin, who was full of alcohol, got into the donkey meat alley and walked to the house he rented in the depths.

Leaving the lively main street, the small alley was pitch black, and Feng Hanlin, who had torn off his disguise, couldn't help but feel sad from his heart, and cried on the ground.

Originally, according to his official position, he could receive a bond of 100 yuan today, which was 100 yuan, a whole small amount of 100 taels of silver, and the money was in hand, and the rent owed was not mentioned, and it could be paid in advance until after the Spring Festival.

The remaining silver is enough for the family to eat and drink until the Spring Festival, and before the Spring Festival, why does the court have to look at Yulu again, won't such a turnover be lived?

But I hate it, why did I tear up the bonds on the spur of the moment? Although Shopkeeper Ding promised to make up for it in the future, but just listen to this, who can say clearly what will happen after a month and a half?

Even if I really give it, what will I eat and drink in the past month and a half? How will the landlord deal with the debts? And let my daughter-in-law have the cheekiness to intercede? I am an official......

Just as he was crying, two figures appeared in front of him, and the Queen Mother saw that it was really a virtuous daughter-in-law and a six-year-old daughter.

"Dad, why are you crying...... Don't cry, I don't want osmanthus cake to eat, my mother said that the family has been short of money recently, and I will buy rock sugar gourd for the New Year......"

Listening to the sound of milk, Feng Fu's heart was like a knife, he might as well marry a shrewd daughter-in-law, at least the daughter-in-law scolded him and felt better.

The traditional daughter-in-law of the Han family is so virtuous, she stretched out her hand to help her lord, "You wipe your face, there are guests waiting for you at home......?"

Feng Hanlin put the four small pieces of osmanthus cake in his daughter's hand, "Eat, my father promised you to buy it for you in the morning...... It's just a little less, a little less......"

The daughter-in-law burst into tears at that time, she covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying, and it took a long time before she choked up and said, "I am a woman's family, and I don't know about the adults, but I at least know the things about the small family...... What's going on with this court, I can't open the pot anymore, I have to think about it......"

This is the first time that Feng Fu did not scold his daughter-in-law for nagging the court, he sighed and saw the landlord standing at the door of his house, and said to his daughter-in-law and child, "Go to Aunt Wang's house next door and sit for a while, and I will go to you later......"
