"King Xie Chu!" Shi Hui bowed down to the "salty envoy knowledge" with some bitterness.

In the state of Chu, even if it is a formal occasion, it is enough to bow, but Jiaozhou is obviously still a retro ceremony.

Shi Hui, as Shi Xie's surviving son-in-law, was the oldest, and he had always thought that the biggest obstacle to his ascension to the throne was his father's longevity gene, but he didn't expect it...... Dad didn't leave any way back for himself, so he took refuge in the Chu State!

This is completely different from what I said before!

Originally, even if the Shi clan wanted to be demoted, it would at least ensure its influence in Jiaozhou......

However, now, Shixie even wants to take Shihui and go to Jinling together.

However, at this point, Shihui has no choice, and the original Shishi can fight against the Chu State is only the fame of Jiaozhou, and this fame ...... Eighty percent is on Shi Xie alone!

Now that Shi Xie is directly in the "Xian Envoy Knowledge", he announced that he wants to take refuge in the Chu State, what can Shi Hui do?

Not to mention that his father can see him to death, even if he wants to raise troops now, I am afraid that he will not get a response from Jiaozhou.

Guannei Hou, Shihui was only sealed as a Guannei Marquis, although he still has a chance to inherit the Dragon Marquis in the future, but even so, it is too different from the previous expectations of the Shi clan.

Especially think about the king of Nanyue who was crowned by the emperor of the Han Dynasty before......

Shihui still expected Shixie to change his mind, but in the end, Shixie resolutely chose the "Dragon Marquis" of Chu.

Even in terms of real power, there is almost no preferential treatment, just saying that "Shishi has valuable experience in governing Jiaozhou, and will focus on appointment and reference opinions in the future", and this is not a polite word, there is indeed no additional private commitment!

This is very different from the original expectations of Shishi.

Shi Hui recalled that his father's attitude suddenly changed, and it was after the waiter of the Ministry of Rites of the Wei State invited him to enter the "signal tower" and talk in private!

Shi Hui even wondered if Chu Guo had found someone who was exactly the same as his father, and knocked him unconscious, stripped off his clothes and changed people inside.

He also privately recruited the witches of the hundred clans, asking if there was any evil art to control people......

If it weren't for all of Dad's habits, which were the same as before, Shihui might really believe it!

Shi Xie saw Shi Hui's dissatisfaction, so he strictly ordered Shi Hui to go to Jinling to not give this stupid son a chance to be delusional.

Even if it weren't for the dissuasion of the King of Chu, Shi Xie even had the intention of going to Jinling in person - that's right, it was the King of Chu who "personally" dissuaded!

Before, in the signal tower, Shi Xie heard Bai Tu's "voice" from Jinling, thousands of miles away......

True, after the spiritual telegram was tried near Jinling, the main priority was laid on the "Jinling-Jiaozhou" line.

After Pang Tong improved the "spiritual telegraph", especially the invention of spiritual power generation and storage batteries, to a certain extent, the storage battery can be used to replace part of the mental power during the transmission of electrical signals, so that the mental power limit of using the "spiritual telegraph" is greatly reduced.

Now, as long as they have an official seal and have been precipitated for a few years, they are highly qualified, or they are middle-aged, and they are middle-rated, they can be qualified for the task of ordinary relays.

For this "call", Chu State also specially mobilized scribes from all over the route in advance to give priority to ensuring the signal of the signal tower, so that it can be smooth all the way......

Even the current improved standards are actually a bit extravagant.

After all, because of the lack of insulating and anti-corrosion packaging materials, it also relies on "wired" spiritual telegraphs, which need to be relayed every dozens of miles, or even more than ten miles in some complex terrain.

Normally, even the state of Chu would not be able to dedicate so many scribes to serve as "receivers" in signal towers across the country.

If we want to solve the problem, there is a practical solution that treats the symptoms but not the root cause, there is a solution that can solve most of the problems by waiting for more than half of it, and a solution that is extensible and can achieve long-term stability.

The former is to develop a "duty" process, agreeing on a time every day, even in remote places that are not hubs, and agreeing on a time every two or three days, during which a clerk must be on duty.

That is, whenever on duty, the transmission of "spiritual telegrams" can be carried out.

Of course, in a prosperous place such as Jinling, it is completely possible to arrange personnel to be on duty at any time, and in addition, it is enough to arrange important routes to be unobstructed at all times during wartime......

The need for such a solution is to develop suitable insulation and anti-corrosion materials, and then naturally extend the distance between each signal tower, and even arrange signal towers only in the cities that need to process information, and the number of scribes required will be greatly reduced.

As for the way to "long-term peace and stability", it is to develop wireless telegraphy - directly use the "electromagnetic waves" that propagate in the air to record and transmit information!

Even wires and cell towers are saved.

Unfortunately, neither of the latter two has yet to emerge......

Even so, the distance of wired spiritual waves for real-time command has been greatly extended, so there will be great changes in terms of strategy, tactics, and even in the system of governing officials.

Therefore...... Chu State temporarily kept the news "semi-secret", theoretically "thousands of miles of sound" or something, it was just a folk anecdote, and people of some cultures did not believe it very much.

During this period, middle and high-level generals, as well as middle-level and high-level administrative officials of the six ministries, will also be tutored layer by layer.

And since other places are not open for the time being, it is natural to concentrate forces on laying the spiritual telegram from Jinling to Jiaozhou, which is not a waste, but can be regarded as an experiment!

When the road was paved, this spiritual power telegram had been paved, and after Wei Teng invited Shi Xie to enter the signal tower, he explained the function of the signal tower to Shi Xie - as for the principle, Wei Teng didn't understand it too well.

As for Shi Xie, he even had a look of "you are teaseing me", and he didn't believe it at first.

However, Shi Xie, who couldn't figure out the intentions of the country, finally tried the spiritual power telegram a little under Wei Teng's kind invitation.

Because it carries spiritual power directly through radio waves, and then uses spiritual power to decipher it and obtain information, it is very easy for Shixie to use it.

If it was just Bai Tu and it was connected, Shi Xie would definitely not believe that this "information" came from Jinling, which was not only to lament the technology of Chu State, but also to think that this was a signal from not far away, but ...... Shi Kuangke is also in Jinling!

After Tian Shixie "talked" with his nephew who was far away in Jinling, he couldn't calm down.

Originally, Shixie's reliance in Jiaozhou was the respect of the hundred ethnic groups and the Han people in Jiaozhou, and the greatest benefit of this respect was the blockage, remoteness, and rugged roads of Jiaozhou.

In a closed and united place, the ordinary princes will not be willing to move more if they have no decisive interests, no matter how much their strength is surpassed.

However, in the signal tower that day, Shi Xie understood that Jiaozhou would no longer be closed from now on......

Jinling, thousands of miles away, can be directly connected to the border of Jiaozhou, what else is closed and remote?

Moreover, this new way of communication will bring about new changes, although Shi Xie does not know everything, he can still make up for it.

Under this kind of psychology, it is not a difficult decision to make to descend to Chu!
