How do you quickly promote something new? Naturally, he went to the most prosperous troubles to advertise, Zhu Cijiong has a deep understanding of this, and every time he goes to those bustling streets in later generations, he will meet those who hand out advertising leaflets, and there are billboards everywhere on the telephone poles and roofs of buildings.

To say that the most prosperous place in Daming is Chang'an Avenue, the flow of people on the east and west Chang'an Avenue is simply terrifying, not to mention millions of people a day!

Regarding the installation of street lights on Chang'an Avenue, Zhu Cijiong already had a case in his heart, and the reason why he summoned so many people over was to arrange this matter.

Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, it must be too late to make a temporary light bulb, you must know that the east and west Chang'an Avenue can add up to nearly 50 miles long, even if a street lamp is installed every 50 meters, it will also need thousands of light bulbs.

Fortunately, Zhu Cijiong had already informed Bi Maokang that he would start to promote electric lights after the New Year, and asked him to prepare more light bulbs, and I don't know how much he has made now.

Zhu Cijiong asked directly: "Meng Hou, how much light bulb inventory is there in the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry now?" “

Bi Maokang replied a little ashamedly: "Back to the emperor, there are about 2,000 in total, and there are no professional factories, so it's too slow to do." “

Zhu Cijiong nodded and said: "Well, it's still enough for the time being, let's find a place in Xicheng District to build a special bulb factory in the next year, and build it according to the amount of 10,000 per month." “

Bi Maokang immediately nodded and said, "Weichen understands. “

Since there are enough light bulbs, the plan to install street lights on Chang'an Street can begin, Zhu Cijiong directly introduced: "I plan to install street lights on Chang'an Street, the so-called street lights are installed on both sides of the road to illuminate the entire road. This street lamp needs to be installed every fifty steps or so, and the two sides of the road are staggered, according to the length of Chang'an Avenue, a total of about 1,000 need to be installed. “

When everyone heard this, they were all dumbfounded, how troublesome it is to install electric lights They are clear, now all factories are basically installed, even if it is installed in the room, it is very troublesome, not to mention that it is installed outside, the installation of electric lights is not just to hang a light bulb and it is over, but also to pull the wire, and there must be electricity to send over, this time is not like the later generations, there are power interfaces everywhere, and I don't know how much time it takes to pull a line.

Xu Fuyuan and Xia Yunyi have the best understanding of this, when they first started to install electric lights in the palace, they were tired, although they had more experience in the back, but they were all installed in the room, under the eaves or on the city wall, so there were still things to attach to, and the line could be slowly pulled over, how to install Chang'an Street, the streets were bare on both sides, and they couldn't be slowly installed from the shops on both sides, and they couldn't illuminate the whole street at all.

If they didn't have a transformer, they might have considered walking straight underground by following the telegraph wire.

Now they don't dare, after Zhu Cijiong's prompt, they have already tested it, this voltage is high but it can kill people, the telegram can use low voltage, and the light voltage is low.

Besides, ordinary wires do not have the same thick protection as the main telegraph line, and if you accidentally break the skin, if you bury it in the ground, it will definitely kill you!

This Zhu Cijiong also had a belly case, he directly took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, drew a telephone pole, and then explained: "This column is poured out of reinforced concrete, the middle is empty, the bottom is large and the top is small, the length is about one zhang and five feet, and the bottom three feet are buried in the ground, so that it can stand upright." “

It's just a simple cylinder, everyone can naturally understand, and everyone nodded when they heard it.

Zhu Cijiong looked up and said, "Liangfu, you are responsible for this, before the ninth day of the first month, make a thousand, is there a problem?" “

Wang Zheng hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Please rest assured, there is absolutely no problem." “

Zhu Cijiong nodded, and then drew a horizontal bracket on the pole, and drew a few small pillars on it, and then introduced: "This is a bracket for crossing the wire, you can fold it out directly with a steel plate, and the top is a magnetic column, which is used for winding wires, and is fixed on the bracket by screws." Yi Zhong, you are familiar with this, you are responsible, before the tenth day of the first month, make 2,000 sets, is there a problem? “

Xia Yunyi is indeed very familiar with this, Zhu Cijiong taught him when the magnetic pillar was laying the line in the palace, he didn't know how much he had used this thing, but the bracket had not been made like this, he nodded without hesitation: "Please rest assured, there is absolutely no problem." “

Zhu Cijiong drew an arc-shaped bracket on the side of the pole, and drew a lampshade on the top, and then introduced: "This bracket can be cast directly, divided into two halves, the middle is empty, used for wiring, fixed on the cylinder with a hoop, and fastened with screws." The lampshade is the kind on the walls of the palace. You are responsible for this Chang Gung, or before the fifth day of the junior high school, a thousand sets, is there a problem. “

Song Yingxing hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Please rest assured, there is absolutely no problem." “

Zhu Cijiong nodded, and then arranged: "Chuyang, you dispatch 10,000 guards, on the eighth day of the first month, on both sides of Chang'an Street, every fifty steps, dig a three-foot-deep pit, and the ninth day of the first month must be completed." Then assist Liangfu and they finish the rest of the work. “

Sun Yuanhua hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Weichen understands. “

Zhu Cijiong nodded, and continued to arrange: "Fu Zhai, you prepare four generators and enough wires, one on each side of East and West Chang'an Avenue, and let Shuntianfu help you find it, and the generator must be installed before the tenth day of the new year, and the wires must be pulled and the lights installed before the fourteenth." “

Xu Fuyuan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Weichen understands. “

Zhu Cijiong nodded, and then said to Bi Maokang: "Meng Hou, you are in charge of the intermediate coordination, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the night of the Lantern Festival, you must light up Chang'an Street." “

Bi Maokang hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Weichen obeys the order." “

This year, the Ministry of Industry has not rested, but they are used to it, like Bi Maokang and others are not ready to rest, they all have projects in their hands, with their obsession with research and development, naturally they will not stop.

Now the emperor has arranged another task to light up Chang'an Street, which is not very difficult, and basically they don't need to do it themselves, as long as they arrange things.

On the morning of the eighth day of the first lunar month, 10,000 guards with hoes and shovels lined up neatly on both sides of Chang'an Street, and then, lifting the marked stone slabs on both sides of the road, it was a digging, and the ordinary people on the street looked at them in surprise, not understanding what these people were going to do.

On the ninth day of the first month, the guards carried thousands of long cement pillars to the side of each pit, and then some workers from Wang Gong's factory took some strange things and put them on the pillars.

When they had finished, the guards worked together to erect the pillars one by one, insert them into the pit, fill them with earth, step on them, and cover them with stone slabs.

Then, someone pulled in wires, light bulbs, brackets, stairs, and so on, and was busy on the pillars for a while.

The onlookers have also seen electric lights, and they finally understand what these people are doing, these people are actually installing electric lights on both sides of Chang'an Avenue!

Sure enough, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, in the evening, as soon as the sky darkened, the electric lights on both sides of Chang'an Avenue were suddenly all lit up, and the entire Chang'an Street was like day!
