In the eyes of the Great Song government, the asking price of Wang Defa's family was really too cheap. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As long as a few boatloads of lead and copper are spent, and a few hundred craftsmen and some young men are dispatched, in about ten years, the communication of the whole country can be unimpeded!

They first sent a junior official of the Ministry of Industry to Liuqiu Island for on-site inspection.

At this time, the training-style cable telegraph across the banks of the Badao River was in a semi-practical state.

If there is an urgent need, it will also help the two sides of the strait to transmit information.

The official walked from one end to the other along the two black lines, and he couldn't figure out how the two black lines delivered the message!

He himself had gone to the so-called telegraph room to watch, and heard only the rumbling, ticking, and clanging sound inside------ and a dozen young men and women sitting in it, pressing something quickly in their hands; There was a standing, beside a round wheel, slowly twitching the note; There were people who were walking around, and they took the note and went to another room where the translation room was hung.

The attendant said that the rumbling sound was a pot camel steam generator; The sound of ticking is a transmitter; Ding Zero's voice is received by telegram!

Saying this to him was the same as not saying it, and he didn't understand what he meant, but he pretended to know it and nodded frequently.

His official uniform and his prestige confused the people who accompanied him, and he was afraid that his three-legged cat's level would not be clear.

The petty officials of the Ministry of Industry saw with their own eyes that some businessmen had received news from the other side that they were going to send some goods; I also saw a message sent out, saying that it was asking for something.

He also sent his men to the other side, then wrote a poem on the spot and asked his men to send it back in person.

After the report was sent, his subordinates really sent it back after a meal, word for word!

So after he rushed back and reported it truthfully, the Great Song government was about to order this thing!

Because the price offered by Wang Defa's family was very fair, the Great Song government immediately agreed.

The Great Song government needed such cheap communication equipment------

During the Great Song Dynasty, the land transportation of the whole country has extended in all directions, and the roads leading to Liao, Xia and Jin in the Great Song Dynasty were centered on Bianliang, Tokyo, Beijing, and extended to various states and counties, connecting important cities and state and county governance.

They called the roads connecting the various administrative regions the official roads, and some of the main official roads were also post roads, and the government would build post roads every other way, and the main roads in the post roads were called "big roads" or "big post roads".

The cost is huge!

They specially built a post road to Shaanxi and Gansu, and there were 2,309 post stations and 385 post booths on the way, and other post roads generally set up a post station in 50 miles.

Before the Great Song Dynasty, government documents and letters were mailed by the couriers of the post stations in various places, and the couriers were generally served by the rural people.

After the Great Song Dynasty, the local soldiers were responsible for the delivery, and later set up a special "delivery shop" to separate the functions of the postal official documents and letters with the post house, and each took on its own tasks, and was no longer mixed.

As a result, the post house became a guest house for officials and soldiers, and the "delivery shop" specialized in postal delivery.

There are three forms of postal delivery in the Great Song Dynasty: foot delivery, horse delivery, and urgent foot delivery.

Foot delivery is used for the transmission of general documents, which is passed by each delivery shop on foot, and this walking transmission also has to bear the heavy task of transporting materials, and the speed is slower, and it is used for unimportant letters.

Horse delivery is used to deliver urgent documents, and is generally not responsible for delivering supplies, so it is faster, but because most of the horses responsible for this delivery task are old and weak horses selected by the army, they cannot be used to deliver the most urgent documents.

In order to be able to deliver important documents in a timely manner, during the Zhenzong period of the Great Song Dynasty, there was a "rush delivery", which is said to be able to "travel 400 miles a day", and the urgent foot delivery shop is also called the "urgent delivery shop" to deliver confidential documents.

At that time, it was stipulated that the sergeants of the Hebei Lianglu Urgent Foot Delivery Shop could only deliver the royal urgent mail and could not undertake other documents. Later, during the Shenzong Dynasty, the Western Xia and Jiaozhi soldiers were used to pass military documents in a hurry.

The three kinds of delivery shops, such as foot delivery, horse delivery, and urgent foot delivery, are all placed separately to undertake the delivery of each of them.

However, in addition to delivering documents, the horse delivery shop is also responsible for providing rides to passing officials, so the average horse delivery shop usually keeps a few horses for immediate need.

When the Great Song Dynasty went south, the foot delivery, horse delivery, and urgent foot delivery were combined into one, and it was under the jurisdiction of the Shangshu Provincial Military Department, so it was renamed the provincial shop.

At the beginning, out of military needs, in the Lin'an City to Jianghuai line and the post road to Sichuan, also set up a shop and scout shop, every ten miles to place a shop, pass the door to pass the "daily scout report scout documents".

Each shop was guarded by five strong horsemen, who were later converted to soldiers as shopkeepers.

The post post of the Great Song Dynasty takes the talisman card as the letter, and the wooden card is also called the card, which is the solid wood and vermilion lacquer, six inches long and three inches wide.

With this ticket, there is no obstacle to traffic on the post road. Later, three kinds of gold cards, blue cards and red cards were added.

The gold plate is specially used to deliver the emperor's edict, the light is dazzling between the march, such as flying lightning, those who look at it all avoid the road, and travel more than 300 miles a day.

In the process of passing the gold medal, the bell is added, the bell is heard in an emergency, and the person who prepares the person to go out of the shop will be handed over on the road, and there will be no delay for a moment.

As soon as the bell rings, the personnel who are ready to go to the next station will go out and wait, and they will set off immediately after receiving the documents, not daring to delay.

In the tenth year of Shaoxing, that is, in 1140, Yue Fei defeated the Jin army and prepared to recover Tokyo Bianliang------ of course, this is just a plan, in fact, there is no ability, Song Gaozong is in the way of gold card delivery, issued twelve gold medals in a row, forcing Yue Fei to class.

Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty was very interested in the rapid way of transmitting information in the military aspect.

They are still laughing at the fact that there is this thing on Liuqiu Island and it is used by merchants first, and heavy business is heavy business, but military is fundamental!

In fact, Captain Bao Wei, who was far away on the Shandong Peninsula, also thought so in his heart, so the cable telegraph should be used in this war zone first.

He could see from the "Liuqiu Times" that it was far faster and safer than his own war horse to deliver news!

Now, the city of Jinan has almost taken on a new look.

After recovering the entire Shandong Road, they moved the base camp of the army brigade of the Liujun Guard to Jinan City.

The Li Tan Rebellion that occurred here thirteen years ago turned the originally popular Jinan City into a lifeless dead city!

After more than ten years of recovery, it has just gained a little vitality.

When the base camp of the army brigade began to be relocated here, the place immediately changed.

When the Liuqiu Guards were first in other counties on the Shandong Peninsula, they mainly focused on construction, building roads, bridges, cleaning up the city, communicating canals, and removing all the garbage left over the past ten years.

Basically, whichever county they occupy, they can make the county look new, and of course Jinan City is the same.

In the era of the Great Song Dynasty, this is Jinan Mansion, which governs Licheng, Yucheng, Zhangqiu, Changqing, Linyi 5 counties, and governs Licheng, which is the beginning of government governance.

At that time, it was known as the "Land of Literature" and "Land of Abundance", and it was one of the most taxed regions in the country.

Jin is still placed in Jinan Mansion, belongs to Shandong East Road, dug the Xiaoqing River in the north of the city, straight to the sea, so that Jinan City has become an important salt transportation distribution center, but now there is some siltation.

After the Tatar bandit group came, it was changed to Jinan Road, which was directly subordinate to Zhongshu Province------

The Liuqiu Guards invested a huge amount of strength here, they spent nearly a year, almost used up the output of this period of time, and finally completed the dredging of the Xiaoqing River and completed the basic urban construction work.

Fortunately, since they did not regard the construction of the city wall as their main goal, all the basic facilities in the city could have been completed earlier.

It has now been restored to its original appearance, and is even more complete than the city functions of the past. (To be continued.) )
