The people who shouted were all businessmen, and they saw the business opportunities at the first time.

If it weren't for the presence of the Phantom's name and the people of the palace, I'm afraid I would be mad and robbed.

It is foreseeable that electric light will shock the whole world in a very short time.

The same thing, at this moment, also happened in Jinhui City, the capital of the barbarian country, and it also caused the same sensation.

"This time, we only brought ten, and five were a gift from Lord Phantom to His Majesty. ”

"Another five units are for sale, each of which · · Five hundred taels of silver!" Hei Pi was very satisfied, and raised the price again.

Hearing five hundred taels of silver, some people were disappointed, and some people were excited.

Soon, the remaining five electric lights had a home, one was taken by Spruce, one was taken by Mo Xiaoxiao, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War each won one.

The last one was bought by the prime minister's people.

"Don't worry, everyone," Heipi said with a smile: "Our production base is producing rapidly, and at the same time, the branch of Wuwei City Phantom Trading Company will also be established, and within a month, five thousand electric lights will be shipped." ”

"I'm booked!"

"I'll book at double the price!"

Heipi shook his head, "Please also buy it at the Phantom Trading Company's commercial building when the time comes, and I will buy the shop tomorrow." ”

Amid the crowd's chatter, Black Leather moved into the inn with the Phantom team.

It's just that the topic of electric lights was discussed by the residents of Wuwei City all night.

The emperor looked at his imperial study, which was as bright as day, and couldn't help but exclaim: "This is a divine object, I'm afraid there is no immortal cultivation sect." ”

"But... This phantom, the same ability as Ye Changan, is made of some rare things, could it be that he is also a visitor from outside the world?"

"Could this electric light be a product of another world?"

Thinking of this, Li Jingtian hurriedly went to the Empress Dowager's palace.

An electric light was also placed in the Queen Mother's bedroom, and at this moment, the Queen Mother was standing happily next to the electric light to study.

Li Jingtian arrived and said his guess.

I saw that the Queen Mother pressed a button at her feet, and a secret room entrance was revealed on the wall.

In the secret room, Li Jingtian and the Queen Mother took out a dark red, palm-sized bronze mirror with complex patterns and halos.

The Queen Mother used her fingers to gently write the words 'Visitors from Heaven' on the mirror, and the next moment, she saw two names appearing on it.

One is called Ye Chang'an, and the other is called Xuanjizi.

"The 'Extraterrestrial Visitor Mirror' doesn't have the phantom's name on it!"

Li Jingtian frowned, "Phantom, could it be the pseudonym of this mystery?"

The Queen Mother nodded, "It's possible, even, the phantom may be Ye Changan." ”

Li Jingtian instantly fell into deep thought, "It shouldn't be Ye Changan, he has no reason to make a phantom?"

Xuanjizi is the old man who met in that white space when Ye Chang'an became a broken void.

"It's also possible that the phantom is the phantom, not a visitor from outside the world," Li Jingtian nodded and glanced at the electric light, "In short, it seems that the phantom is still trustworthy now." ”

"Ye Changan and Phantom know each other," the Queen Mother suddenly frowned, "There is a great possibility that they are the same person, if Ye Changan is deliberately hiding the Phantom, then·· What is he for?"

"This is easy to do, I'll write to ask him," Li Jingtian smiled and waved his hand, "Now some people say that pies will fall from the sky, I believe it, but I don't believe that Ye Changan will plot against him." ”

"Then you hurry up and write to Qingzhou to ask, it just so happens that the electric light is on, and writing and reading will not hurt your eyes. ”

··· The next day, with the help of Princess Shaoguan, Spruce and Mo Xiaoxiao, Heipi successfully bought a three-story commercial building in the prosperous area of Changning Street.

The black skin immediately took people back, not to mention how proud he was on the way.

Although he knew that the electric light would be robbed, he did not expect that early in the morning, Gonggong Liu came to deliver the decree and praised the phantom's talent.

After Ye Changan's test, the battery can be used continuously for two days, and the life of the bulb is one month of continuous light.

When the time came, electric lights were popularized, Ye Changan stopped producing batteries, and the Barbarian Phantom Trading Company stopped producing light bulbs, and at that time, it was the official beginning of business exchanges between the two countries.

A few days later, Heipi and others returned to Qingzhou, and Ye Changan also received a letter from Emperor Li Jingtian.

One is for Ye Changan, and the other is for phantoms.

The emperor asked Ye Chang'an why he wanted to create a phantom.

Ye Chang'an's reply to the letter probably meant that he was really not a phantom, but he had only seen two sides, because he was welcome at first sight, he entrusted the trading company to his care, and went to an unknown place to concentrate on researching new products.

In another letter, the Emperor asks Phantom why there is a Phantom Merchant House in the Barbarian Kingdom.

Ye Changan replied again:

The phantom was not there, and Weichen Ye Changan answered for him.

In fact, the light bulb was researched by a trading company in the barbarian country, and after the phantom knew about it, he invested heavily in the trading company and changed its name to the phantom trading company.

It was only then that the battery and the bulb were combined to develop the electric lamp.

It's just that the production technology of the light bulb is still in the hands of the original owner of the trading company. ”

Looking at his reply, Ye Changan nodded with satisfaction, tied the letter to the pigeon's leg and flew out.

"My lord, we still need to purchase a lot of materials, among which Yangzhou has the best quality of materials..."

Ye Changan waved his hand at the black skin, "Go find Liu Feihua, I don't care, I want to practice." ”

"My lord, someone reported that there was a leak in the Qiuling area..."

"Go find Liu Feihua. ”

"My lord..."

"Looking for Liu Feihua. ”

"Big..."

"Willow"

So, a month later.

Liu Feihua's face was a little yellow, and the material was more slimmer, it seemed to be some...

Malnutrition.

Every time she came to Ye Changan to complain, before she reached the backyard, she heard Ye Changan closing the door.

The residents of the city also discovered that Lord Ye Changan had not shown up for a month.

Every meal is specially delivered to the government office in Cuihong Building.

Interestingly, some people say that Cui Honglou is the only person who can talk to Lord Ye.

Therefore, many people like to come to Cuihong Mansion to eat, the real purpose is to let the girls of Cuihong Mansion say a few kind words in Ye Changan's ear, maybe they can ask for an official.

However, the girls in the Emerald Red Mansion have a ring ruler in their hands, but anyone who wants to have a relationship will be beaten.

Then, the girls will say what Ye Changan said:

'Those who have the ability do not follow crooked ways, if you want to be an official, then show your ability. ’

Lin Miaomiao, the 'waiter' with the worst service attitude in Cuihong Building, has also been observing, but in fact, it is to catch Ye Changan's pigtails.

Didn't she say that her prime minister's father had caused trouble in Qingzhou? Lin Miaomiao wanted the world to see that Ye Changan was just a sanctimonious person.

Unfortunately, she didn't have a chance.

Soon, electric lights began to be delivered to the Phantom Trading Company branches in major cities, and they were slowly on the right track.

A new wave has been set off in the entire Wuwei and Barbarian countries.

When dignitaries meet, the first thing they say must be: "Do you have an electric light in your house?"

When rich and rich meet, they will also ask, "Did you buy electric lights?"

In a mansion.

"Girl, you are not young, the prince of the Chen family has a big business, and he has always liked you..."

"Does he have an electric light in his house?"

"His father is a member of the third grade!"

"Does he have an electric light in his house?"

"He's rich. ”

"Does he have an electric light in his house?"

I heard that for this matter, the prince found an unknown amount of relationship, so he snapped up an electric lamp and successfully got a beautiful wife.

As a result, the Wuwei national officials and nobles have more than three necessary things to get married - the groom, the bride, and... Lamp.

At the same time, Wu Weiguo also reached the annual imperial examination.

Ye Changan naturally also received a notice from the palace and began to prepare.

Ye Changan, who originally planned to stop discontinuing batteries and light bulbs, immediately waved his hand, "Everything has to make way for the exam, announce it, and during the exam, the whole city must not make noise." ”

"The examination room is equipped with electric lights, which can be kept after the test and used for later use. ”

As a result, all the talents selected from all over Qingzhou gathered in the imperial examination room of Phantom City.

This is the first imperial examination in Qingzhou in these years.

In previous years, there were bandits everywhere, and there was no opportunity for scholars at all, which also led to many poor scholars.

Wealthy families in Qingzhou also stuffed money for officials in various places to select talents, but they were directly rejected, and Yan Ming would be imprisoned next time.

This point was already notified by Ye Changan.

The officials everywhere are all soldiers under Ye Changan, and they resolutely obey the order, if they dare to break Ye Changan's rules, they will be dealt with by military law.

The state exam, which was supposed to take two days, was completed in one day and one night because of the electric light.

Although most of these students did not get satisfactory results, they were also very excited, and when they met people, they said that they were the ones who had taken the test under the electric light.

Originally, Phantom City had a department dedicated to examination affairs, but it was directly removed by Ye Changan.

It's just once a year, so there's no need to waste manpower.

Therefore, all the answer sheets of these candidates were sent to the government and handed over to Ye Changan personally. and sent Liu Feihua to be responsible.

Liu Feihua's literary literacy is not low, in addition to being able to count from one to a thousand, she can also write poems and paintings.

It's just that she thinks that these are not as powerful as Zi Liuxing's combat power, and Pingli will not show them.

Ye Changan once heard Liu Feihua write a poem complaining that he was oppressed and exploited by an official surnamed Ye.

Regardless of the content, the writing is the same as that of people, free and uninhibited.

Judging by Ye Chang'an's ordinary second-class university education level, Liu Feihua's talent is not inferior to those officials in the imperial court.

Liu Feihua selected a total of ten answer sheets, and in the middle of the night, after stuning Ye Changan with the 'fifth-generation all-purpose medicine powder', she secretly put them in his room.

In order to release the resentment during this time, Liu Feihua also specially gave Ye Changan a haircut... To be precise, a shaved head.

So, the next day, Ye Changan woke up and was furious, and rarely put on an official hat.

Finally calming down his anger, Ye Changan looked at the answer sheets of the ten candidates.

This time, the title was still given by the emperor.

There are three questions.

The first question is to write poems by women, which requires both elegance and vulgarity.

The second question asks about the duty of a courtier.

The third question described in detail the specific process of Ye Chang'an's capture of 50,000 barbarian troops in Wangbian City, and asked the candidates about the subtleties and inappropriateness.

Who is Ye Changan, that is our Lord Mansion in Qingzhou!

The candidates were full of praise, but unfortunately, few people got to the point.

However, the selected people analyzed the pros and cons of that battle and put forward their own suggestions, which were all reasonable.

"There's no need to hand over the exam papers to the national capital," Ye Changan frowned, looked at Liu Feihua, and asked people to call these ten people.

Soon, ten candidates with excited faces were called to the government office.

Among them, eight people are young people under the age of 30, a middle-aged man in his 50s, and a woman in her twenties.

After they relieved the excited look on their faces, Ye Changan said in a deep voice: "I have read your answer sheet, and the answer is so-so, which is not bad." ”

"Your level, when you reach the national capital, you can't be an official, Qingzhou is the time to employ people, are you willing to stay in Phantom City, be in charge of other departments, and share the worries of Lord Liu Feihua?"

Liu Feihua rolled her eyes, clasped her hands in her mouth, leaned against the door and said angrily: "You want to be lazy yourself, don't take me." ”

Ye Changan smiled, "Then what do you mean, you can be busy alone?"

Liu Feihua stopped talking.

"Lord Ye!

"My lord, I am willing too!"

"We all do!"

As a result, these ten people were sent to ten departments, including the Resident Dispute Department of Phantom City, the Major Case Investigation Office, and the Militia Management Office of Phantom City.

Their duty is to establish and improve these 10 departments.

Especially the middle-aged and elderly scholar in his fifties, he was so excited that he cried on the spot.

The only woman has also become the second female official with real power in Phantom City after Liu Feihua.

Later, some people counted that after this incident, the number of scholars in Qingzhou increased by thirty percent, and the number of women studying was dozens of times more.

The history books also regard this incident as a precedent for the women of Wuwei to be officials.

Regarding the fact that Ye Changan did not take Qingzhou talents to the national capital, Li Jingtian did not ask.

In the emperor's opinion, Qingzhou was thrown to Ye Chang'an for management, and he didn't care about anything.

Later, I heard that in this imperial examination, there was a down-and-out young scholar with amazing literary talents, and this person even claimed to have the talent to guide the country.

Indeed, this man had a clear understanding of the state of Wuwei, and the series of policies he proposed were also approved by the emperor.

But when he was appointed as the tutor of the Tai Academy, a sentence was written in the emperor's holy decree.

At that time, Liu Gonggong read this sentence in a strange tone:

"Gongping, although you are talented and can be of great use, but... Before taking office, he went to Qingzhou, asked Ye Changan for advice, and then came back to be an official. ”

Gong Ping's face was full of disdain at that time, "I have heard of the name of Ye Changan, and the credit is indeed extraordinary, but I, Gong Ping, think that I am stronger than him." ”

Gonggong Liu snorted coldly, handed him the holy decree, and then threw off his sleeves and left.

Just one sentence left.

"Not only are you not as talented as Ye Changan, but you can't compare to him as a person. ”

This sentence undoubtedly made Gong Ping unhappy.

That night, the prime minister secretly met with Gong Ping.
