Why would the queen agree to this seemingly ridiculous request? Yingzong came to see Ding Yi by himself, or came to play and chat with Ding Yi, he came by himself; Ding Yi entered the palace to talk to Yingzong about something, this is called the Holy Grace Zhengnong. But it is impossible to say that Ding Yi asked Yingzong to come over to see him, unless Ding Yi is going to die.

And on Queen Qian's side, it is the same reason, Liu Yiyi can enter the palace at any time, no matter what name she uses, it shows the status of the Ding family in the eyes of the royal family, but how is it possible to call the queen over? Don't say anything about humility and feudal dynasties, just put it thousands of years later, and didn't call the wife of the superior to come over to see him!

Of course, it is also a speculation without direct evidence, but people who have a little logical thinking ability will feel that something is not right. It's very simple logic, that's what Ding Junyue said on the side: "Niangniang knows that we have found her, and she thinks that her father taught her to come over to get some bargaining chips and get some benefits from her in exchange." Otherwise, just like Emperor Jing reprimanded the imperial history who was called a subordinate official but not a minister, I was afraid that he would ask his mother directly, is he drunk? ”

"No evidence, don't be preconceived." Although Ding Yi's face was not good-looking, he still stopped Ding Junyue from playing.

Because once something is identified first, then the subsequent development must be tendentious.

"Yes, father." Ding Junyue responded, and at Ding Yi's signal, he was ready to retreat first, because Chen San and Liu Ji had been reporting loudly outside long before they spoke, waiting for Ding Yi to come in and do something.

Liu Yiyi shook her head with a wry smile, and sent Ding Junyue out of the study, and did not avoid Liu Ji. said to Chen San: "San'er, the husband is the most affectionate. The letter is incomparable, and you look at his current body. You really can't afford to work hard, and you have to persuade him more, but you can't be busy regardless of it! ”

"I know the master! By the way, the sea intestines that Mr. said last time were dried and ground into powder, and the seasoning was extremely fresh, and I taught my eldest brother that they got some over, which is really good, but this thing is cheap, and it is not easy to give away. If you don't mind, I'll teach someone to send some over later, don't you think? Chen San was not restrained at all, and talked to Liu Yiyi, all in the vernacular.

Liu Yiyi listened, but hurriedly said: "This thing is really useful?" Don't be ostentatious! If it is really useful, this is a business that is easy to do, and people who can't afford to use refined salt. Naturally, there is no need, in a large family, only teach to burn a batch of exquisite glass bottles and package them, which will definitely sell well! Have you told anyone about this? ”

Chen San's mouth opened wide when he heard this. He can govern the army and the people, and such a small thing can also think of making money in business. Even the potential customer group is located, and he really feels that his brain is not enough to turn. It took a long time to react and said with a smile: "I haven't told anyone." Because Mr. said at that time, and said that he was not sure if it was this thing, I was afraid that if this sea intestine was not the thing that Mr. said, it would be bad for Mr. to lose his reputation at that time, and even the guard did not tell him, I received the sea goods sent, and last night I got the soup cake in the middle of the night, I crushed it on a whim and sprinkled it, and sure enough, I came to offer treasure today. ”

"San'er did a good job, your husband didn't hurt you in vain!" Liu Yiyi laughed when she heard this, for Chen San, a little local product, for her, it was silver, "You will send it in a while, if you can use it after trying, this business will be counted as twenty and a half percent for you!" Seeing Liu Ji on the side, she said again, "You are half a percent, don't be afraid, this is a serious income, and the old man of the imperial history can't impeach you." ”

Then she said to Liu Ji: "Youzhi, you have a university question, your husband also relies on you, you are always strategic, and I have to share his worries." ”

This intimacy was revealed, Liu Ji hurriedly responded, and saluted again, and Liu Yiyi returned the salute, so he was busy before stopping. From the perspective of etiquette, there is no defect, but it is really not as close as Chen San, who is about Chen San, who was born in a military family, and Ding Yi joined the door before he made a career, Liu Yiyi is more like his own family in his eyes.

Chen San and Liu Ji went inside, and Ding Yi said to them: "Sit, San'er don't make rules, don't break down so tightly when you loosen up, your legs are not good." ”

"It's okay, the military doctor said that the stitches will be removed the day after tomorrow." Chen San himself didn't care.

Ding Yi smiled and nodded, signaling that Chen San could start reporting.

"Sir, Xu Yuanyu said that this electric pole has been made to the Zhejiang region, but it is always vandalized, and the people who destroyed it say that this pole has damaged their feng shui, and it is the new army that is doing the dojo; Some gentry said that they wanted to lead Zhejiang's luck to Guangdong and incite the villagers to spoil it. ”

"Xu Yuanyu is asking to send troops to garrison. Send troops to guard a few wooden poles, in my opinion, why don't you forget it. ”

Because it's not a problem that can be solved by sending a squad or a company.

According to Xu Hui's report, military posts should be set up along the telegraph line, and then regular patrols should be made every day to prevent sabotage, and even proposed not to use wooden poles, but to use bamboo and cement poles.

Ding Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with it, thousands of years later, it was true that the telephone poles were made of cement poles or iron poles.

But Chen San is going crazy when he looks at it, because in these years, cement is still a precious object!

Although it was released for sale seven or eight years ago, in the countryside, if no one in the family has ever been lifted, and cement is used to repair the courtyard or ancestral hall, they will be counted: "This portal is also equipped with cement?" "This has almost become an unspoken rule, outside the two Guangzhou, building bridges and roads, if you use cement to build houses, generally are scholars.

Because the house is generally built with bamboo reinforced concrete, it will be equipped with glass windows.

Whether it is the transparent colorless glass produced by the Ding family's shop or the pan-blue glass produced by the Ministry of Industry handed over to the imperial court, there is a quota, and it is usually difficult to get a quota if it is not a scholar. Repairing a house with cement, and then mounting wooden panes and window paper, it looks awkward - for people of this era, this is the case, of course, after thousands of years, it will be called style, which is another thing - if such a house is made, it will be ridiculed by the nouveau riche.

As for the ordinary people at the bottom? Can you afford it? The walls made of yellow mud can't afford red bricks, not to mention bluestone, cement and glass windows? The people will feel like they are talking in a dream.

And Xu Huo proposed to use cement to repair the telegraph pole of Laoshzi, Chen San thought that Xu was crazy?

"If the telegram is made, my order in Canton Mansion will be sent by telegram, and you will receive the text outside the customs immediately. Of course, this is only an ideal state. Ding Yi had to explain to Chen San what the telegraph could do.

The reason why it is said to be an ideal state is because the telegraph line that Xu Hui is working on is still a bare wire and has no insulation.

Once it is too long, the resistance increases, the power is not enough, and the quality of the telegraph cannot be guaranteed, as for the susceptibility to lightning strikes and injuries, it is even more inevitable, but that is still secondary, and it is mainly impossible to transmit too long distances, and it is necessary to set up a telegraph station in the middle to relay, and then send it to the next station.

How far is the distance between each stop? About sixty-five kilometers or so.

This is Xu Hui's report, with test sampling, once a traitor wants to curry favor with Shangfeng, he will definitely make things extremely thoughtful.

"One hundred and thirty miles? It's going to take a long day of horseback riding! Chen San immediately understood the military convenience of this cable telegraph.

Mongolian horses can reach speeds of up to 40 kilometers per hour, but even Mongolian horses, which are known for their endurance, cannot run like this all the time.

The Maxima mentioned by Huaxia can only run 500 kilometers a day, which is already a legendary horse.

Normally, a horse that can run 200 kilometers a day is considered very good.

How fast is the "immediate delivery" of the future? "It is said that the person who flies right away, but travels 300 miles a day" This is a day, which refers to day and night, that is, 300 miles a day, as for the urgent 400 miles and 600 miles, then you must change horses in many places along the way.

"If this cable telegraph is really erected, wouldn't it be six hundred miles away?" Even Liu Ji, who was the big secretary by Ding Yi's side, couldn't accept it for a while, "Isn't this a magical method?" "It's down to spells.

Ding Yi smiled and said: "Not now, six hundred miles, you have to forward eight or nine transfer stations, the starting station sends a telegram, after station A receives it, in order to ensure accuracy, you have to send back a letter to the starting station, and after confirming that it is correct, send it to station B; Station B and the telegraph station behind it should also be doubled at the previous station before being sent to the next station. ”

"Six hundred miles, if the dispatcher is skilled, the work of half a stick of incense should be able to be delivered, if this document does not exceed fifty words."

For long distances, it can be regarded as semi-instant communication.

Ding Yi, a person who has used the modern Internet, naturally feels very troublesome and slow, but for Chen San and Liu Ji, they are really stunned. These numbers are mentioned in Xu Hui's report, and the problem is to send troops to guard a few poles, which makes Chen San and Liu Ji feel that Xu Hui's mental state is abnormal! The number jù in the back naturally subconsciously thought that they were talking crazy, otherwise why would they come to Ding Yi specifically to ask about this? A Liangguang governor is insane, that's a terrible thing!

At this time, I saw Liu Yiyi coming in, and said in Ding Yi's ear: "People are here." ”

Liu Yiyi said this to Ding Yi, and there was no superfluous words.

Ding Yi nodded, and instructed Liu Ji and Chen San: "Let Junyue come over, you go down to get busy first, and there will be something to discuss later." ”

Because what Liu Yiyi said about "people are coming" means that Queen Qian is here.

Ding Yi didn't plan to involve too many disciples in this matter, Ding Junyue was specifically investigating this matter, anyway, he couldn't avoid it, so it didn't matter, Chen San and Liu Ji, Ding Yi didn't want them to get involved, this was a very dirty and ugly case. (To be continued......)
