Chapter 121: The Storm in the Court (10)

Li Meng was injured, no matter what, he had to recuperate for a few days, and the court meeting would naturally be exempted, Li Meng took this opportunity to get rid of the pot, although the main responsibility was not his, the Yunjing commander made Wang Li unlucky, and directly let Emperor Dingyuan give him the position of captain of the Thousand People Team in Southern Xinjiang.

Under the anger of Emperor Dingyuan, the case was quickly clarified, the assassination of the Xiyuan Kingdom from the Western Regions, the purpose was to attack the envoy of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, the assassination of Li Meng was not the original intention, but it was just to scare it, who knew that this waste wood was so agile that he actually put his thighs up directly, do you say it is magical?

There are many masters around the prince of Muyang, the arrow comes from a hundred steps away, the arrow is a ringing arrow, this can also be shot, it is estimated that the assassin himself is depressed.

Li Meng always felt that this matter was very strange, and ran to Makino Country to assassinate him, isn't this idle panic?

Things developed quickly, the mission of the Makino Kingdom and the Northern Barbarian Kingdom reached an agreement, and the two countries signed a contract to jointly attack the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, this assassination was a good excuse, and even Li Meng's injuries had been settled before he healed.

Such a major event is naturally indispensable to the Ministry of War, Huang Shi, the squire of the Ministry of War, has no feet touching the ground, the Ministry of War has encountered a major event, as an old nature can not be idle, Li Meng has been going back and forth between the palace and the Yamen of the Ministry of War with illness in the past few days, and the matter of the assassination has come to a conclusion It seems that everyone is reluctant to mention this matter again, and now they are only busy with one thing: preparing for war.

"Lord Wang, the teaching group and the condolence group have been prepared, there are a total of five thousand people, divided into ten teams, and they rushed to various places, focusing on the frontier of the Western Regions, Yang Xiang thinks that this matter should be coordinated with the upcoming war, even if it is a front stop for the Western Expeditionary Army, I don't know what the prince has to say?"

In the main hall of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, Huang Shi and more than a dozen stewards were sitting in danger, although King Muyang did not come often, but after all, he was the boss of the Ministry of War, and the attitude of reporting should still be there.

"Yes, Lord Huang has bothered, how is the progress of the glass workshop and the soap workshop?"

Huang Shi said with a worried face: "Back to the prince, the workshop is rushing to start, but as the prince said, the telescopes, mirrors, etc. have not achieved the desired effect, I don't know if it is a process problem or the workers are not very skilled, now there are merchants in my Muye country who are willing to participate in this kind of business, I don't know if the prince is allowed?"

Li Meng's heart suddenly felt uncomfortable, how could the businessman know about the affairs of the military department's workshop? The telescope that Li Meng envisioned was kept secret, if the businessman mastered the manufacturing technology, what would be the secret?

Li Meng couldn't help but say with some anger: "Lord Huang, the secret of the production of glass and telescopes is developed by this king with countless painstaking efforts, if people outside want to participate, they must keep it secret, and the permission cannot be taken lightly, I am afraid that this money is too small, I am afraid it is not good, what is the value of the flooding of things? At the very least, it must be a public-private partnership." ”

Huang Shi didn't seem to care too much when he got the secret recipe, a few bottles and cans of fun, can't do it and wait, is it more important than the use of soldiers in the imperial court, now it seems that the prince is going to be serious.

Huang Shi hurriedly said: "Yes, Lord Wang, I don't know how to charge for this kind of license or joint venture?"

"License at least 100,000 taels of silver, joint venture? We take a commission, just set a 30% of the selling price, this is our secret recipe, the price naturally can't be too low, patent protection, you should understand, right? ”

Patent protection?

Everyone was stunned, Li Meng had to slowly popularize it with them, and it was unbelievable to sell good things as cabbage.

Looking for a time to go to the workshop for guidance, Li Meng was very dissatisfied with the progress of the development.

There is also the prototype of the navy: the Overseas Trade Guard, which has not been seen so far, and Emperor Dingyuan has not mentioned this matter at all during this time.

Li Meng waved his hand to Dao Bai at the door, and Dao Bai and two guards walked into the main hall with several boxes in their hands.

Li Meng: "Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to a new thing: electricity and lights, telephones, and how to use electricity to transmit signals and voice ......."

…….

For a whole day, Li Meng felt so tired, tired, these guys trusted fast horses more, Li Meng couldn't conquer these guys at all without creating a big killing weapon.

It's a bit difficult for this scumbag, but fortunately, it's not difficult to make a light phone.

This power generation is also too difficult, it requires people to constantly rotate the coil rotor, it would be nice if there was a steam engine, Li Meng seems to be supposed to make a big killer first, such as a telephone with clear calls, high-quality telescopes, electric lights that last for hundreds of hours, etc., these guys are not interested if they can't see the results, and they are even ready to sell Li Meng's results cheaply.

The businessmen who saw the business opportunities so quickly had a much better vision than those officials of the Ministry of War, and if they really wanted to get permission, these guys might not say how much they had to do with the Muyang Palace, and boasted about how much they helped the second prince, and the 100,000 license fee Li Meng felt that it was too much of a loss, so think about it again.

They need to be shocked, otherwise no one will pay attention to this matter at all, and Mingzhu will secretly invest.

It takes at least three months to prepare for the United Northern Barbarian State to conquer the countries of the Western Regions, and it takes half a month for the envoys of the Northern Barbarian State to send the contract back to the capital Gumohe, and it takes a while for the Northern Barbarian State to send the contract back to determine the time of the attack and the division of labor.

In the palace of Muyang Wang, Li Meng began to command Lao Dang and others to pull wires, make telephones, light bulbs, etc., the difficulty of manufacturing light bulbs seems to be a little higher than that of telephones, and tungsten filaments need to have a longer life under oxygen-free conditions......

Half a month has passed since this toss, and Li Meng is powered by two horses, and the night in the main hall of Muyang Wangfu has become unusually bright.

Li Meng visually measured that the brightness of the bulb should be about forty watts, two.

"Hey, porter, what's the matter?"

"Concubine Xian, what did you eat tonight? ”

Although Li Mengzao's light bulb only lasted for half an hour, and the voice of the telephone was hoarse and very loud, it caused a sensation in the palace, which was simply a miracle.

In the afternoon of the next day, Chief Manager Wang personally came to pass the word: "The emperor heard that His Royal Highness has made a luminous artifact and a good thing that can transmit sound for thousands of miles, so he specially asked the miscellaneous family to come and take a look, I don't know if the prince can bring it to the palace to demonstrate." ”

Li Meng was overjoyed, the free spokesperson came, and hurriedly said: "Naturally, there is no problem, but you need to prepare some time, the line is not long enough, and you must be ready tomorrow evening." ”

Li Meng not only wants to sell electric lights and telephones, but also plans to sell telecommunications, which must be absolutely confidential, although Li Meng knows nothing about short-wave signals, once the instrument is broken during maintenance, it is mostly replaced as a whole, and there is a special instrument to detect, which does not prevent Li Meng from knowing the general principle.

The recent anomaly of the Muyang Palace's palace was known to the all-powerful Dingyuan Emperor, in addition to the Supervision Department of the imperial court, it is said that the Dingyuan Emperor also has a special team responsible for the control of officials in various places, which is a secret that is not open but everyone knows.
