Chapter 342: Dirt Phone

After washing up in the morning, Yang Xuan came to the room, and the three ladies waited on the side early to start breakfast.

Other princes and princes often eat their own due to the large number of people, but after all, Yang Xuan is from modern times, and he attaches more importance to his family, so he set the rules so early, as long as he is not allowed to eat separately in each room at home, everyone eats around the same table of eight immortals, so that there is a taste of home.

After taking his seat, Yang Xuan frowned, looked at the seats on both sides and asked, "Why hasn't Wen'er gotten up yet, everyone has arrived, why hasn't he come yet?" ”

The ancients got up early, basically they got up just after dawn, but now it's just dawn, although Yang Xuan feels that it is too early, but this era is like this, so he has to follow the customs.

Zhu Shuying said with a smile: "Lord Wang, don't be angry, I think Wen'er is greedy for fun, and she went to play with the maid in the house early in the morning." ”

Ma Fengyu, who was at the bottom, was shocked, got up and arched his hand: "Lord Wang, although Wen'er is still young, she is still very steady. I asked a few days ago that in the past six months, Xuemei has asked the teacher to teach Wen'er the Thousand Character Scripture.

The concubine was admitted to Wen'er's studies, and she was able to memorize more than ten sentences, which is really rare. ”

Yang Xuan made a gesture of covering his ears and sighed: "Don't you guys make noise, don't you be greedy for fun if there are few people?" Tell him to come over for dinner, look, the food is a little cold. ”

After a while, the maid led the eldest son Yang Wen to jump in, followed by a little maid.

Seeing Yang Xuan sitting on the top, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to come out.

Yang Xuan didn't have anything, and Zhu Shuying, the county lord next to him, couldn't stand it, and said angrily: "Lord Wang, look at it, what are you used to Wen'er?" Completely like a wild child under the mountain, there is no appearance of a prince at all.

Five-year-old children play all day long, how can they continue like this? ”

Yang Xuan opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

Or found that the man around him couldn't bear it, the county lord Zhu Shuying said: "Lord, this future is a mother-in-law, and today I will take out the appearance of a mother-in-law."

This Yang Wen plays with the little maids in the mansion all day long, and there is no prince who does not look like a prince in the palace.

In the past, in our Shu Wangfu, we would definitely punish food like this, and we will punish Wen'er today, and we have no food to eat this morning. ”

Yang Xuan had no choice, nodded and returned to his seat, pondering about this matter while eating.

After half a pillar of incense like this, Yang Xuan stood up and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard the county lord Zhu Shuying say there again: "Lord Wang, look at it, what does your son look like?"

Let him stand on the side, he is good, he is actually fiddling with toys next to him. ”

Yang Xuan was shocked, returned to his seat, and saw the eldest son who was silent with his head down, and couldn't bear to say: "County Lord, children are playful by nature, and human nature is normal.

Wen'er, tell me, what did you just do? ”

Obviously dissatisfied, Zhu Shuying shook her head and said: "This still needs to be asked, obviously greedy for fun." Lord, look, what is he holding? ”

Bending down, he found that it was two paper tubes, connected by a rope, looking at this, Yang Xuan was a little puzzled, shook his head and said, "Wen'er, you, what are you doing here?"

What's the fun of holding this? ”

With his eyes wide, Yang Wen pouted and said, "Father, this, this is fun."

A few days ago, Aunt Xue took her children to the City God Temple to worship incense, and many children play with this, which is fun. ”

When Zhu Shuying heard this, she said angrily: "Lord Wang, you saw it, I didn't wronged him, he admitted that he was playing in the bowl of noodles." ”

Yang Xuan nodded and said, "I understand, but children have a rebellious mentality, and the more you don't let him, the more he will do it."

Also, you have to make a clear distinction about what happened. ”

Pointing to the two paper tubes, he said, "Wen'er, tell me, how do you play with this?" ”

Yang Wen was overjoyed, handed a paper tube to Yang Xuan and said, "Father, this can hear the voice, you take this, I'll help you take a look."

I saw a person holding a papier-mΓ’chΓ© microphone, led by a cotton thread, and a person holding a microphone, more than 30 meters away, the sound was clearly audible

Yang Xuan was dumbfounded, and asked what he saw there, worrying in his heart if there was still a traverser coming to this world.

Seeing Yang Xuan's eagerness, Ma Fengyu next to him explained with a smile that this kind of toy is often encountered in their Tujia family, and children often play with it.

Seeing Yang Xuan's disbelieving face, Liu Lian'er beside him also nodded to confirm that in the end, many maids around him laughed and said that they had also played when they were young.

Yang Xuan didn't know that this was a legendary earthen phone in his previous life, and many rural children played with this, and they all felt quite magical.

After figuring out that this kind of native phone had been available for a long time, and it was not a new thing brought by an alien species, Yang Xuan was greatly relieved and tried to explain.

The sound vibrates during the transmission, and the two cotton threads are connected, and when the sound vibrates on one side of the paper tube, it is quickly transmitted to the other side.

In order to strengthen the children's understanding, Yang Xuan picked up the demonstration in person, and let the other party feel the subtle vibration generated by the cotton thread when he spoke.

Seeing that her husband not only did not punish the two playful children but also played with each other, Zhu Shuying said with a straight face: "Lord Wang, you are good, others are worried that the children will not do their jobs and delay their studies, you are so good to play with them, you, you are so conniving, Wen'er does you have a idea of what to do?" ”

In the past, when Huang Daiyun was still there, especially before Zhu Shuying's identity as the county lord was revealed, she kept calling the other party's sister.

After the identity of the county lord was confirmed, the two had a great conflict, and they both thought that they were his wife, which made Yang Xuan angry like a rat in a venture capital.

Now hearing Zhu Shuying say this, Yang Xuan smiled and said: "Don't be angry, madam, I thought of the great role of this earthen microphone when the child was playing."

Until each regiment has one more watchtower car, every day there are soldiers sent to observe the watchtower car, everyone can only communicate through the flag, and the speech is not clear at all.

If the earthen microphone that Wen'er and the others play with is improved, then the generals below can also give orders to the soldiers on the watchtower car with this earthen microphone.

In addition to this, there is also communication on the big ship, and if it is improved, it will be very useful? ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, but Yang Xuan was triumphant, but he still punished the two children for not eating breakfast, and took a son and a daughter with a straight stomach to sit down in Zhaoming Palace, and re-negotiated the division of villages and townships with Wu Zhaoyuan, Lei Yuelong, Qian Bangqi and others.

In accordance with the past practice, a bazaar set up a township office to directly deal with local civil and tax affairs and civil disputes.

But as said in the past, the Ming Dynasty has lasted 282 years (the Ming Dynasty lasted 276 years, but if you count the Southern Ming Dynasty, it is 6 years more), due to the adoption of the agriculture-based small peasant economic model, a large number of tun fields in various places, although the war in recent years, but the population is still far more than the beginning of the Republic of China, the whole four (Sichuan) is not the 3 million people mentioned in the fish scale book, the heyday has already exceeded the scale of the Song Dynasty, the population of Sichuan has reached 10 million.

Although the destruction of the four (Sichuan) in the late Southern Song Dynasty was serious, it was impossible to increase the Qing Dynasty from 90,000 people in the 24th year of Kangxi (that is, 1685 AD) to 50 million in the late Qing Dynasty (1911) in only 226 years.

During the 365-year period from the end of the Southern Song Dynasty (1279 AD) to the end of the Ming Dynasty (1644 AD), the population of the four (Sichuan) can certainly be restored to the population of the heyday of the Southern Song Dynasty, that is, the population of the whole Sichuan is almost 10 million.

In many places, the setting of Lijia is still in accordance with the model of the early Ming Dynasty, although after Zhang Xianzhong's rebellion and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but some of them have a population of nearly three or four thousand, and it is quite inconvenient to manage the population too much.

After careful analysis, everyone still believes that it is most appropriate to adopt the decimal system for management, and the township office is still set up on the basis of the market, and the township office is set up in the more prosperous market.

The number of people in a mile must be between 1,000 and 2,000, and the number of people exceeding 2,000 needs to be divided into two li (villages), in addition, different numbers of villages (li) will be given different subsidies.

After the discussion was slightly over, Song Shihui, the general office of the Ordnance Army, and Gou Fugui, the general office of the Ordnance Bureau, came to the appointment, and after watching the two children demonstrate the local telephone, everyone laughed.

Qian Bangxin shook his head and said: "Adult, you are too doting on children, I have often encountered this kind of game in the past, you actually let Miss Gongzi demonstrate it above the main hall, I don't know what it means?" ”

Yang Xuan beckoned, let the child sit beside him, and explain his thoughts, this earthen microphone can transmit sound so far through cotton thread, so can we choose other materials to make a formal microphone, so as to see if we can achieve the purpose of transmitting sound over a long distance.

Everyone was quite surprised, but there is this advantage in China, that is, there is something good at the top and it must be very good at the bottom, as the prince, Yang Xuan let everyone experiment, even if everyone failed the experiment, it would not have much impact.

Gou Fugui volunteered to take on this burden, although the Ordnance Bureau was the earliest ordnance manufacturing unit, but in recent years, the limelight has been gradually replaced by other units, and he is unwilling to be an old man in the army.
