When the emperor and a group of courtiers arrived at the experimental base, they immediately saw a telegraph sending device with a wire connected to the outside.

"Your Majesty, this wire is connected to the outskirts of the city 50 miles away, and there is a telegraph station there, and according to the code model you propose, the experiment has been successful." Wang Wei said.

"Let's show you how!" Zhu You said to Wang Wei.

"Your Majesty, please give instructions on the contents of the report." Wang Wei said, Zhu Youxiao thought about it, and said: "Ask if there is a disaster in the suburbs." ”

"Telegram content: There may be a disaster in the suburbs."

Wang Wei instructed the telegrapher, who immediately pressed it on the transmitter, and with a series of 'tick-tock' sounds, the contents of the telegram were sent.

The telegraph station 50 miles away received the code and immediately translated the contents accurately. Then a telegram was sent to the experimental base, which read: There is no disaster, everything is fine.

The telegraph operator of the experimental base received the code, immediately recorded the numbers, and then opened the codebook, and found the words one by one according to the numbers.

When the ministers saw the telegraph operator find out the contents of the telegram, they were all shocked.

"Fifty miles away, so fast?"

"It's amazing!"

"What if it's hundreds of miles away?"

When Zhu Youxiao saw this telegram, he immediately knew that the telegram had really been successfully invented, and he was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, even if this telegram is thousands of miles away, it only takes about a quarter of an hour to send a telegram back. ”

The speed was so astonishing that a group of ministers exclaimed.

This telegram can really transmit information so quickly, and the Ming Dynasty's ability to control the place will obviously be greatly improved. In particular, the ability to control overseas.

"Lord Wang, I don't know how much this telegram costs?" Guo Yunhou, the head of the household, asked Wang Wei.

"Copper wires need to be laid. The cost is much lower than that of building roads. Wang Wei replied, Guo Yunhou was relieved when he heard that the cost was lower than that of road repair.

To lay a telegraph network is nothing more than to erect a telegraph line. The main cost of the telegraph wire is copper, and a protective film on the outside.

The erection is still relatively simple, a few poles. Just lead it all the way. The telegraph line across the sea was also relatively simple, and it was enough to put it into the seabed one by one by a sailboat.

Of course, for specific large-scale applications, it is necessary to improve some detailed technologies.

The success of the development of the telegraph meant that the transmission of information would be very fast. This meant that the imperial court could respond more quickly to disasters and rebellions.

At the same time, for state-owned consortia, the business response will be faster.

It can be said that the benefits of telegraphy are many, and the imperial court will definitely popularize the application of this technology. Of course, the technology was not too mature at this time, so Zhu Youxiao decided to build a telegraph line from Beijing to Tianjin first, accumulate experience with the operation of this line, and at the same time set up a telegraph training course. It is used to train technicians and telegraph operators.

At the same time, various departments have set up telegraph sections, and the military, factory and health, administration, and civilian use their own codebooks to ensure information security.

At the same time as the successful invention of the telegraph, the research team of the Royal Institute of Science and Technology successfully developed the technology of cowpox to prevent smallpox.

This technique is not too difficult at all, and the test was successful a few months after Zhu Youxiao proposed it. After experimenting with Jiannu captives and some condemned prisoners, it was proved that cowpox was not only effective in controlling smallpox, but also very safe.

Zhu Youxiao immediately ordered the hospital to popularize this technology to all provinces. The focus should be on the complete popularization of smallpox in the New Deal areas first, so as to completely eradicate smallpox in the New Deal areas.

The technology of pox seeding was already relatively popular in China at this time. According to some records of later generations, this technique may have originated in the Song Dynasty. However, the popularization was in the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty, and it may have been invented during the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, the method of planting pox is still to use human pox, which has a certain risk, and it is a ghost gate that every child has to pass.

In contrast, cowpox is much safer.

The invention of the telegraph and cowpox. It soon appeared in the "Daming Daily", and after the report, it caused a lot of sensation and shock.

In response to the telegram report, Daming Daily focused on the role of suppressing the rebellion in order to deter those who wanted to do so.

"If there is a rebellion anywhere, report it to the court on the same day. The imperial court can know it on the same day, and within that day, it can dispatch troops thousands of miles away to win a decisive victory thousands of miles away. The imperial court can also know where the disaster occurs on the same day, and can mobilize manpower and material resources to carry out disaster relief within the same day. ”

At the same time, the military edition of the "Daming Daily" on the same day also reported the good news that Mao Wenlong once again swept away a group of remnants of Jiannu in the northeast region.

Anyway, it is to show off its muscles, convey the message of the strength of the imperial court to the people of the whole country, and further deter those careerists.

In every era, the intelligence is normal.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were many rebellions, mainly due to the successive military defeats of the Ming Dynasty, which led many careerists to think that the opportunity had come, so they began to jump up and down.

Since Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he first destroyed Jiannu, defeated Mongolia, and successfully suppressed the internal rebellion.

Shandong's reform is still continuing, and Kong Yinzhi's jumping up and down is still useless. Under the vigorous propaganda of the imperial court, the people of Shandong raised their hands to support and support the reform. The Jiangnan Shi clan that Kong Yinzhi united couldn't help him much at this point. At the same time, the squire, landlords, and businessmen of Shandong did not support the new policy, but they also did not stop the rolling wheels of reform.

The businessmen, by contrast, were smarter and did not openly contradict them. There are also some businessmen who are supportive of the new policy.

The results of the reform of Beizhili are very familiar to Shandong businessmen. After all, Shandong is next to Beizhili, and the changes in Beizhili are already very well understood by the businessmen who are running around.

After the reform, Beizhili's business is extremely prosperous today, and it is not known how many times it has prospered compared to the previous time when taxes were not levied.

If Shandong can also carry out reforms, then the Shandong market will soon be boosted with the start of a large number of construction projects.

Under the New Deal, although merchants had to pay taxes, the market became larger. For those small and medium-sized businessmen, they are the ones who benefit the most. Because the business tax itself is not heavy, small and medium-sized businessmen are direct beneficiaries if the market can prosper.

Only those big businessmen, as well as businessmen in some industries, are facing the possibility of being liquidated by state-owned capital. So much so that after the reform of the New Deal in Beizhili, many businessmen are no longer rejected by the new deal.

And under the implementation of the new policy, there will be a lot of opportunities. It's going to be a market shuffle, some people will be out, and some people will get more benefits.

Kong Yinzhi did not dare to rebel, and with the imperial court transferring a large number of troops into Shandong to maintain stability, Shandong's reform was carried out rapidly, and this was a mandatory reform, Kong Yinzhi simply couldn't twist his arms and thighs.

The activities of measuring land, formulating agricultural taxes, and collecting commercial taxes were rapidly carried out in Shandong, and some squires and tyrants also tried to violently resist the law, but as a result, the government directly called for military support, drove the army over, caught those squires and tyrants, and directly confiscated the land, and had to serve a few years in prison, which scared the other squires and tyrants.

At the same time, the Shandong Strike Hard Campaign kicked off this winter, and there were too many hooligans in the land this year, and it had reached the point where it was impossible to fight without fighting.

After the Beizhili Strike Hard Strike, the strike hard process has been very perfect, and the experience is also very rich.

But all those who are in the fish and meat town, chickens and dogs are all arrested and sentenced. Those who are already indignant will be directly beheaded and beheaded, and the juveniles who can still be saved will be sentenced to lighter sentences, mainly for the purpose of reform, generally for two or three years of labor reform.

Those who are old, who are already adults, are still messy, are directly sentenced to ten or eight years, and are directly sentenced to ten or eight years, and are used as free labor, thrown into the mines to dig, or sent to work as coolies in quarries, lumber yards, and construction sites.

The people of Shandong applauded the crackdown.

The imperial court also retried the prisoners in Shandong, and suddenly turned over a bunch of unjust cases, so those who should be rehabilitated and those who should be held accountable were held accountable.

The ban on pornography and gambling was also carried out, and the imperial court set up a red-light district, banned private brothels and green buildings, and seized casinos.

One reform plan after another has been quickly implemented, and the results of Zhu Youxiao's reform in Beizhili have been revealed. Once a well-established process is in place, as long as enough New Deal administrators are trained, reforms can be carried out in other provinces very quickly and methodically.

While the reform continues, Shandong highways, water conservancy, industrial zones and other projects have also begun to be planned and implemented.

Highway requirements can run through the whole of Shandong, provincial, state and county, township level, village level, all levels of highways or the imperial court direct appropriation, to obtain a certain amount of local tax for construction.

Whether it is the landlord or the small farmer's land, the water conservancy of the imperial court can be repaired as it should be, and if it can benefit one more acre of land, it will benefit one more acre.

The first industrial zone in Shandong was set up in Jiaozhou Bay, with shipbuilding as the main industry. At this time, the shipbuilding industry in Jiaozhou Bay has been relatively large after years of development.

While a large number of projects are under construction one after another, interest-free loans for seeds, farm tools, agricultural machinery, and agricultural livestock are provided to farmers. From then on, the peasants in Shandong no longer had to ask the landlords to borrow usury when they bought the means of production.

Such a policy can rapidly increase agricultural productivity and popularize the most advanced agricultural production technology, so that farmers can have more time to work on the construction site.

The biggest difference in the New Deal is that peasants are no longer required to work on construction sites, but to be paid, and it is not compulsory for them to go.

The new system has avoided many tragedies.

The first is that even if the countryside is affected by disasters and crops fail, it is impossible for people to starve to death. Farmers only need to go to the construction site to do things, and they can always eat a full mouthful. (To be continued.) )
