According to Li Zexuan's original plan, he just wanted to take these more than 300,000 chickens to sweep through the states and counties, but since the people of Xinfeng County voluntarily lent him their captive chickens, of course he had no reason to refuse, there are more than 8,000 households in Xinfeng County, and each household took out thirty or forty chickens, which can almost make up more than 20,000, which is also a big improvement for the overall scale of the Tianji Brigade!

On the other hand, now that the children of Hanjiazhuang and Meicun have megaphones, the size of the chicken flock that each person can control is much larger than before, and the Tianji Brigade completely "eats" more than 20,000 chickens in Xinfeng County, and even if the people in other states and counties are willing to lend chickens, Li Zexuan dares to continue to collect them!

After pacifying the people, Li Zexuan looked at Wang Dezheng and commanded in a low voice: "Wang County Order, this matter will be handed over to you, and it can be regarded as giving you a chance to atone for your crimes, now you immediately send a government official to announce to the whole county, and those who are willing to take the chickens to Benhou will register as soon as possible!" ”

Wang Dezheng solemnly bowed his hand and said: "Hou Ye rest assured, the lower officials will send officials to notify the people of each Zhuangzi, and call all the officials in the county government to register the people!" ”

"Hmmm! It is best for the people to register before today's Shen Shi, because after the Shen Shi, we are likely to leave for Weinan County to exterminate the locusts! ”

Li Zexuan nodded and said again.

"Master Hou is going to leave Xinfeng County with the Tianji Brigade today?"

Wang Dezheng was taken aback when he heard this, he thought that Li Zexuan's Tianji Brigade was going to stay overnight in Xinfeng County.

Li Zexuan nodded and said: "According to the speed of the morning, before the afternoon Shenshi, all the locusts in the farmland in Xinfeng County will definitely be eliminated, and now there are locust plagues in various places, the disaster is like fire, and the people are living in dire straits, time waits for no one, the Tianji Brigade can go to the next place one moment earlier, and the people in that place will be able to suffer less losses!" ”

When Wang Dezheng heard this, he couldn't help but be in awe, he gave Li Zexuan a deep salute, and said: "Hou Ye is dedicated to the country, loves the people like a son, this high wind and bright festival makes the lower officials both admired and ashamed, no matter how the court disposes of the lower officials this time, even if it can only be a small official in the future, the lower officials will definitely remember today's Hou Ye's admonition and be a good official for the benefit of the people!" ”

Seeing that Wang Dezheng's face was sincere and did not seem to be a fraud, Li Zexuan's impression of him in his heart couldn't help but change greatly, even if Wang Xianling was to blame for the soaring grain prices, it was undeniable that Wang Xianling was frank and unrestrained, and in general, although Wang Dezheng was flawed and neglected as an official, this person was not hopelessly bad and could still be rescued.

"Wang County Order, last year, the Cui family was destroyed overnight, and Ben Hou once said to His Majesty: Monarch, Zhouye; Those who are familiar with the people, the water is also. The water carries the boat, and the water capsits the boat. The Cui family thought that the people were weak and powerless, so they wantonly oppressed the people and killed their subordinates, they had no reverence for the people, and finally died in the vast sea of the people!

In fact, the same principle applies to officials, if Wang County orders you not to put the people in your eyes, and do not pay attention to the people's livelihood and public opinion, then when one day the people can't get by, that is, when you can't do it as an official, you must know that the husband is angry, and blood is splashed five steps! ”

Li Zexuan didn't need to say these words, he mainly said a few more words for the sake of Wang Dezheng's rescue, what if because of his few words, there is another good official in this world?

Wang Dezheng obviously understood this truth, and when he heard this, he bowed to Li Zexuan with a grateful face and said, "Thank you Lord Hou for admonishing him!" The county magistrate will remember it for life! ”

"Hmmm! Go get busy! ”

Li Zexuan waved his hand and said.

.....................................

"Drip~Drip~Drip!"

Lantian County, the new workshop of the Wonder Pavilion.

With the sound of a "dididi" telegram, Li Tai quickly came to the bookcase, picked up the pen to record the code, about a quarter of an hour later, the telegraph finally stopped ringing, Li Tai shook his somewhat sore wrist, and began to translate the telegram.

"Qingque, there are palace people looking for you outside! Get out of here! ”

At this moment, Meng Wenhao walked into the room and said to Li Tai in front of the bookcase.

Since Li Tai was the deputy chief designer of the second and third killer projects of Yanhuang Academy, he had a special office in this annex, which happened to be convenient for him to receive and send telegrams.

In this annex where the killer project is promoted, no one outside the project is allowed to enter, even those who come from the palace to deliver the decree

"The people in the palace? What do they ask me for? ”

Li Tai had just finished translating the telegram at this time, and Wen Yan asked with some curiosity.

Meng Wenhao shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, the little father-in-law didn't say, Qingque, you better go out and have a look!" ”

"That's fine! I'll check it out! ”

Li Tai thought for a while, took out a page of the manuscript, handed it to Meng Wenhao, and said, "Wenhao, this is a telegram sent back by the mountain chief, about the publication of a notice in tomorrow's "Datang Daily", you take it and hand it to Mr. Ma Zhou!" ”

"Hmmm! I'll go! ”

Meng Wenhao nodded, and the two went out together.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has summoned you to the palace!"

The little eunuch outside the courtyard was still a little angry because he was turned away, but after seeing Li Tai come out, he quickly put on a smiling face and stepped forward.

"Father is looking for me to enter the palace? What's the matter? This king is very busy here~! ”

Li Tai said with some reluctance.

The two killer projects have entered the stage of tackling tough problems, and he is indeed very busy now!

The little eunuch was instantly choked when he heard this, and said in his heart, His Royal Highness King Wei What kind of demon is this, and he doesn't even want to pay attention to the call of the saint? If the other party was to be an ordinary courtier, the little eunuch would definitely walk away, but the other party was Li Tai, the king of Wei who was very favored by His Majesty Li Er, the little eunuch did not dare to be arrogant and make mistakes, he said with a smile:

"Your Highness, Your Majesty just said that there is something important to summon you back to the palace, but he didn't tell us what the matter is, Your Highness, do you want to go back to the palace to have a look?"

Li Tai thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's okay!" It just so happens that this king also has something to say to his father! ”

The little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Highness, please, the carriage has been prepared for you!" ”

"What carriage to do? Don't you know that the king's time is precious? Ride back to Chang'an! ”

Li Tai glared at the little eunuch and said angrily.

The little eunuch was stunned for a while, and then hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" Let's go and prepare horses for Your Highness! ”

It is said that Li Tai used to go out in a carriage, after all, it is much more comfortable to ride a carriage than to ride a horse, and today's abnormal behavior really makes the little eunuch unpredictable!

...................................

"Son-in-law, see father!"

In the Ganlu Palace, after being reported by the chamberlain, Li Tai walked in and bowed to Li Er, who was sitting in the first batch of recitations.

"Hmmm! Excuse me! ”

Li Er put down the fold, raised his head to look at Li Tai, and frowned after a moment and said, "Thin!" Qingque, why haven't you returned to the palace for so long to greet me and your mother? Even if you have homework on weekdays, you should still have time to go back to Chang'an during the weekends of Yanhuang Academy! Your queen mother has been talking to you in front of me more than once~! ”

When Li Tai heard this, he felt a little guilty and said: "The son-in-law is not filial, so that the father and the queen mother are worried, and the son-in-law will often return to the palace to greet the father and the queen mother when he has time!" ”

Li Er squinted his eyes and said, "What?" Listen to you, you haven't had time lately? But something important to do? ”

"Uh.... This ......"

Li Tai was a little dumbfounded, according to the regulations of the academy, the second and third killer projects are top-secret projects, and no one involved is allowed to disclose them to outsiders, not even his own relatives, but the person in front of him is not only his relatives, but also the master of this empire, which makes Li Tai difficult for a while, should he say it?

"What? What kind of things do you still want to hide from me? ”

Li Er's face suddenly became gloomy, and there was a hint of coldness in his voice.

Although he already knew what Li Tai was busy with recently, seeing that his son had to hide it from him as a father, it made him feel a little annoyed!

Li Tai felt a chill down his spine, and hurriedly said, "No!" Father! Erchen didn't dare! The mountain chief carried out the second and third killer projects in the academy a few days ago, and Erchen has been busy with this matter recently! ”

"Oh? The second and third killer projects? So what's going on? ”

Li Er's eyes flashed, and he straightened up and asked.

He knew that the first killer project of the academy was the Bahe Hydropower Station project, and he still didn't know anything about the second and third killer projects, but the academy's secrecy work was really good!

Li Tai had already decided to inform Li Er of the killer project, and he had no scruples at the moment, so he continued: "Back to my father, the second killer project of the academy aims to improve the current telegraph, on the one hand, to increase the transmission power of the telegraph, the second is to enhance the signal recognition ability and anti-interference ability of the telegraph, and the third is to build telegraph relay stations in key states and counties to be used as a relay for the transmission and reception of electromagnetic waves, and finally increase the effective communication distance of the telegraph to more than 1,000 miles, or even farther!" ”

"A thousand miles~!"

When Li Er heard this, he was completely shocked, Li Zexuan had told him that there was still a lot of room for improvement in the telegraph, and he was still a little skeptical, but now that the second killer project has been approved, it is directly necessary to increase the communication distance of the telegraph to more than 1,000 miles, and even the improvement plan has been formulated, so he can't help but believe it.

"Qingque, you come to talk to me, is it feasible to increase the communication distance of the telegraph to 1,000 miles?"

Shocked for a moment, Li Er came back to his senses and asked with a sincere face.

Li Tai arched his hand and said: "Back to my father, the plan of this killer project has been demonstrated several times by more than a dozen gentlemen in the academy, and we all believe that the communication distance of a thousand miles is absolutely feasible, and if the number of relay stations is enough, the communication distance of several thousand miles will not be a problem!" ”

"Good! Good! Good! All right! ”

When Li Er heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, but then he felt that there was something wrong in Li Tai's words, "We all think? Qingque, what is your role in this project? ”

"Uh..."

Hearing Li Er ask about this, Li Tai scratched his head a little embarrassed, it was the embarrassment that the child who had achieved good grades wanted to show in front of his parents, but was afraid of showing himself too much to make himself appear immodest, "Father, Erchen is the deputy chief designer of the second and third killer projects, and Mr. Mo Huai is the chief designer!" ”

“.......！！！”

Li Er's eyes widened, Rao is he has always been unsurprised, but he still couldn't hide his shock when he heard that his son had become the deputy chief designer of the killer project, because he knew that the gentlemen of Yanhuang Academy were all capable people, and Li Tai could stand out among the crowd as a student and become the deputy chief designer, how rare it was!

"Haha! Worthy of being my son, Qingque, you are so good~! ”

After being shocked, Li Er couldn't help laughing loudly: "Last year, Qingque was going to worship under Li Zexuan and go to Yanhuang Academy to study, I was still a little hesitant, because you had been studying Confucianism before, I was worried that you would not be able to adapt to engineering in Yanhuang Academy, but I didn't expect that in less than a year, Qingque, your attainments in engineering would reach such a level, and my father was very pleased~!" ”

Li Tai's heart blossomed, and he said modestly: "Father and emperor praise falsely, compared to the mountain chief, the son is still far behind!" ”

"Haha! Take it easy! No hurry! ”

Li Er was amused when he heard this, and then asked, "Oh, that's right! So what's the third killer project? ”

Li Tai arched his hand and replied: "Father, this third killer project is that the mountain chief wants to formulate measurement units and measurement standards for some new physical quantities, and make measuring instruments. In addition, Yamacho has also reformulated the length unit to facilitate precision production at the back of the workshop! Compared to improving the telegraph, this is not difficult! ”

"Hmm!"

Li Er nodded thoughtfully and said, "When will this second killer project be completed?" ”

Li Tai replied: "Within half a year! The deadline for these two killer projects is half a year, and Shanchang has made us achieve the set goal within half a year! ”

"Half a year? Good! I'll be waiting for you for half a year! When it's done, everyone will be rewarded! ”

Li Er said a little excitedly.

Just imagine, if the telegraph is successfully improved and can achieve thousands of miles of communication, then the territory of the Tang Dynasty is several times larger, and he Li Er also has the ability to control state affairs and military affairs in the palm of his hand, which is an achievement that the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty cannot achieve!

Li Tai remembered something at this time, and said: "Father, the current telegraph has been initially improved by us, and it is estimated that the communication distance can reach four or five hundred miles. Oh, by the way, Fang Cai Shan sent back a telegram, which was about Xinfeng County, and asked my father to take a look~! ”

With that, Li Tai took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and held it above his head.

Li Er's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly said:

"Oh? Present it to me! ”

Zhao Song hurriedly took it and handed it to Li Er.
