Chapter 447: The Telegraph Comes Out

Chu Wenxiu's level 8 eloquence, which opponent is Liu Li?

As a result, the peace negotiation was successful, and an agreement was signed with Ning Ze in a daze, and Nancheng compensated Huaguo with 150,000 gold, 700,000 stone military rations, warships, horses, weapons and armor. One part is to compensate for the "losses of Huaguo", and the other part is the ransom of the White Mirror Hall.

A White Mirror Hall who refused to surrender was useless to Ning Ze, and he didn't want to spend time sending it to Jinzhou for Liu Yuanxiang to persuade him personally, after all, his attributes were not good enough to make people shine, to the extent that they had to be.

After the two parties signed the agreement, Liu Li first returned to Nancheng to report the agreement, and he would not be released until Nancheng delivered the "compensation".

Of course, he must be despised by other officials when he goes back, and Liu Qing, who recommended him, also feels very embarrassed to see that he has been compensated so much.

Ma Jian and Feng Qiao were dissatisfied with the amount of "compensation" in the agreement, but there was no way at the moment, worried that Ning Ze's side would continue to attack, and their own side would not be able to recruit troops and be unable to resist, and they would really have to fight and suffer greater losses.

Although he was not satisfied with this agreement, he could only hold back for the time being, knocking out his teeth and swallowing blood.

Nancheng delivered the "compensation" to Loushan County in accordance with the agreement, and Ning Ze really complied with the agreement, and the two sides officially signed the armistice peace agreement. Even if such an agreement can be torn up at any time, a truce can be made in a short time.

Baijingtang was successfully brought back to Wubao by Nancheng's envoy, and the matter came to an end for the time being.

After Ning Ze laid a good foundation for the defense of Zeshan and Loushan counties to ensure the stability of the city and the stability of the people, he ordered Chu Wenxiu and Huang Shao to cooperate with Zhong Jizhao to guard this place and lead the Jiangzhou soldiers and horses to evacuate.

Chen Tai and Nie Wei returned to Jiangzhou one after another, and Ning Ze went to Jiangzhou to see Wang Wei, and used medical skills to cure him, so that he could recover as before, and return to Jinzhou together.

In the autumn of the 7th year of Xihua, the war subsided.

The forces of Zhou, Liang, and Nancheng all chose to recuperate due to the lack of youth and strength and the difficulty of conscription, and issued policies to increase the population one by one and attract the people of other forces, and worked hard to solve the shortage of young and strong, resulting in a situation in which farming, construction, and conscription were very difficult.

In fact, in addition to the war, another factor that caused this difficulty was the continuous policy of benefiting the people in China, and Ning Ze used an upright conspiracy to directly plunder the population.

Although the problem of young and strong population in China also exists, it is relatively not so serious. Among the large number of people attracted by the pro-people policy, many children have grown up in the past few years.

The parties recuperated, and the whole continent quieted down.

In the summer of Xihua 8, inside the palace of Huajun County, Jinzhou.

In the past six months, Tang Niu, Lu Cong, and Ma Jian have been busy solving the internal population dilemma, and they have no way to send troops to harass Ning Ze.

Huaguo's chassis is getting bigger and bigger, and it is also busy training or recruiting people to fill a large number of official vacancies.

The scale of the Chinese military generals of the imperial court was almost formed, and the elderly Chu Xun was able to extend his life, and he had the guarantee of Ning Ze's medical skills, and he handled political affairs with ease, and formed a complete system of subordinate officials of the minister, so that Ning Ze and his wife were relieved of their burdens.

During this time, Ning Ze, who finally returned home from the war, was accompanied by his wife and children, enjoying the joy of family every day.

In the Yuanxi Palace, Liu Yuanxiang, Chu Meiren, Mi Yan, Hua Erniang, and Xiaodie sat quietly embroidering on the side, and a group of seven or eight-year-old children knelt in front of Ning Ze in a regular manner, everyone shook their heads and read and recited along with Ning Ze, who was pacing around in front of them.

"You will listen to my plan, use it to win, and keep it." Ning Ze put his hands behind his back.

"I will listen to my plan, use it to win, keep it!!" the children said in unison.

"If you don't listen to my plan, you will lose if you use it, go to it!"

"If you don't listen to my plan, you will lose if you use it, go to it!!"

"Profit to listen to ......"

While reciting, the palace maid Qiu Cicada came in with brisk steps and saluted respectfully: "There is a person outside the palace who says that there is something important to ask to see the prince!"

"Who?" Ning Ze turned to ask her.

"This is the token that the man asked the slave to bring!" Qiu Cicada handed over a token.

When Ning Ze saw the token, he understood that it was the credential of the secret research institute.

Outsiders to this institution do not know, only their own husband and wife and a few henchmen and generals know.

Immediately took the token and nodded and said, "You can retreat first!"

"Wow!" the autumn cicada took a few steps back, then hesitated to stop.

"What?" Seeing her posture, Ning Ze asked suspiciously.

"Slave maid...... The slave maid wants to change shifts early today and go home early. Autumn Cicada replied cautiously.

Ning Ze thought for a moment and smiled: "Oh~ Wang Tong is returning from a mission today, and the little couple wants to reunite, right?"

Autumn Cicada's face turned red.

"Okay, it's lonely!" Ning Ze said with a smile, "It's still the same sentence, pay attention to covering up Wang Tong's identity, don't let people see the clues." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Qiu Cicada was relieved, and after thanking him, he hurried away, and couldn't wait.

After Ning Ze waited for her to leave, he turned to face his wives: "Yan'er, Erniang!"

"Eh!!" The two wives who were called immediately put down the needlework in their hands and hurried to Ning Ze.

Actually, the two of them don't like embroidery.

"I'm going to go out and see what's going on at the institute. You two take the children to the Imperial Garden and teach them martial arts first!"

"Okay!" Mi Yan clapped her hands excitedly, turned to the children and shouted, "Xiu'er, Man'er, Zheng'er, Qian'er, Xiu'er, Rui'er, Cheng'er, it's time to practice martial arts!"

Liu Xiu took the lead, got up with his six younger brothers and sisters, and saluted Ning Ze with a brush: "Father, the child has gone to practice martial arts!!"

"Go!" Ning Ze smiled and nodded, watching these children follow Mi Yan and Hua Erniang out of the palace.

In the blink of an eye, the children were seven or eight years old, and they couldn't even think of it before they crossed.

The children are also sensible, although they have been fighting abroad all the year round, their wives are fully civil, military, especially Liu Yuanxiang, as the empress, is very strict with their teachings. With a good tutoring, the child is naturally obedient.

Ning Ze came to the outside of the palace with the token, and someone stepped forward to salute: "Shao Yi (Yulan) to meet the prince!"

A man and a woman were respectful in front of him.

It turned out to be an assassin who had been subdued by Ning Ze before, and both of them had been loyal to Ning Ze to full value. On the one hand, he is responsible for training secret troops, and on the other hand, he is also responsible for security and leakage prevention work in the secret research institute.

Ning Ze nodded at them: "No need to be polite!

As he spoke, he threw the token to Shao Yi.

Shao Yi put away the token and replied respectfully: "Lord Wang, there is new progress, you must go over!"

"Oh?" Ning Ze knew that it was not appropriate to say it too clearly here, so he said, "Get on the horse." ”

Shao Yi and Yulan quickly turned on their horses, left the palace with Ning Ze, and ran towards the city gate.

The war horse left the city and came all the way to the secret research institute.

The head of the secret research institute is still Mao Xi, but his official position has become the history of Bing Cao Peng, which is higher than the previous arsenal order.

Mao Xi personally came out to greet him, and when he saw Ning Ze coming, he stepped forward and bowed to the end: "Minister Mao Xi greets the prince!"

Ning Ze, Shao Yi, and Yulan dismounted at the same time and walked in front of Mao Xi: "What's the progress?"

"Qi Qi Wangye!" Mao Xi raised his head with a proud face, "I waited for a long time to forget to sleep and eat, and after a long period of study, we finally succeeded in building a telegraph according to the requirements of the prince! After testing, it was exactly the same as the prince's requirements!"

"Oh?!" Ning Ze was overjoyed when he heard this, this telegraph was a communication artifact that he drew drawings for the first time after he got the magnet and asked the research institute to study and manufacture. In this feudal and backward world, flying pigeons are quite advanced ways of communication, but the advent of the telegraph is enough to change the world.

"Lord Wang, please!" Mao Xi led the way, leading Ning Ze into the secret research institute and into a stone house.

"Lord Wang!!" The staff who were busy in the house collectively saluted Ning Ze.

"Good work!" Ning Ze nodded, "Everyone continue, don't care about Lonely." Mao Bingcao, hurry up and let Gu take a look at the finished telegraph. ”

"Hurry, take out the telegraph and be careful!" Mao Xi turned to a researcher and shouted.

The researcher, who was called, carefully took out a machine that looked a little frustrated and not very good-looking from the huge cabinet next to it.

Although it is far from the telegraph machine imagined by Ning Ze, it also has a certain prototype, like that.

Ning Ze hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look, he looked a little ugly, and there was no way to do it. After all, it is quite difficult to make very fine parts in the current process, after all, the level is limited. However, the telegraph has all the parts that it should have, and it seems that the basic structure is in line with the drawings.

"Does it really work?" Ning Ze asked.

"Lord Wang, we have already done a test!" Mao Xi replied happily, "This thing can also transmit sound to each other from a long distance." The other one is on the hill ten miles away, you can try it!"

Ning Ze glanced at the more rudimentary hand-cranked generator next to the telegraph.

Before he could speak, Shao Yi immediately stepped forward and turned quickly with a hand-cranked generator connected to the telegraph.

The hand-cranked generator structure is not complicated and appeared earlier than the telegraph.

Having a hand-cranked generator actually means that a larger generator can also be built, and there was an opportunity to use electricity in this ancient world. The problem is that there are no electrical appliances, and even if there is electricity, it is useless for the time being. The principles and drawings of electrical appliances Ning Ze also remained, and the institute was still studying desperately, these overly modern items were extremely difficult for them, and it would take time to understand and build them smoothly.

Ignoring the problem of electricity and electrical appliances, Ning Ze tried to step forward and gently knocked out a string of Morse codes on the telegraph.

After a while, a series of irregular dripping sounds were heard, and it was obvious that the other party had responded after getting the information.

Ning Ze was overjoyed, tried several more times, and made sure that there was no problem with the telegraph, so he immediately turned to Mao Xi: "Very good! The successful production of a telegraph is a great achievement! It's just that the maximum transmission distance of the telegraph must be figured out first! According to the theory, a telegraph with this power can reach at least 1,000 kilometers, and he quickly sent people to set off to carry out tests within the territory of the country. ”

"Whew!!" Mao Xi and the others replied respectfully, their faces full of joy.
