The newly built Fugui Palace covers an area of 400,000 square meters, with a construction area of 1.2 million square meters.

Zhu Fugui himself, his concubines, old servants, and palace ladies only live in the 100,000-square-meter star-picking platform, which is very frugal and simple.

Most of the other areas were actually office areas of the Ming court.

Therefore, the Prussian delegation was also arranged in the guest house for foreign guests presided over by the Honglu Temple.

Whether it is in the Roman discourse, the Anglo-Saxon discourse, or the Chinese discourse, the Prussians can be regarded as countrymen.

However, they were much more knowledgeable than the Mori feudal envoy Uemon who visited back then.

Back then, the old boy of Uemon dragged the thread of the electric light for more than half an hour.

Bismarck only pulled for ten minutes.

Of course, Prussia also had electric lights, but the quality was far less good than that of the Ming Dynasty.

Daming has a few things that seem inconsequential and can make foreign exchange, but in fact, they are not exported for the time being.

For example, the previously mentioned camera with strategic accuracy.

For example, a simple incandescent lamp.

Lighting is a human necessity at all times.

From the time of the wilderness, when Ru Mao drank blood, humans were accustomed to spending long nights by the fire.

With the development of society, the demand for lighting is becoming more and more important.

Not to mention the military use of electric light, the purely industrial use is enough to make all countries pay attention to it.

Since last year, considering that the ghost is hovering over Europe, in order to avoid being hanged on a crooked neck street lamp one day, Zhu Fugui has begun to take the initiative to promote the 996 work system in Daming.

In this day and age, this is a good fortune, not a rhetoric or ridicule.

Although the eight-hour work day was proposed by Owen and others as early as 1817, this was completely utopian.

Whether it's America or Europe, whether it's London or Chicago or Paris, Berlin, Vienna, workers have to work 14 to 16 or even 18 hours a day.

In the daily timetable prepared by the factory owner for the workers, there are no weekends, not even single holidays.

In most cases, the only break is one to two hours earlier on Saturdays.

Therefore, in international newspapers, Zhu Fugui repeatedly said: "In order to maintain the basic conscience and protect the bottom line and morality of mankind, the Ming Dynasty refused to sell light bulbs to factories that could not ensure that workers could enjoy the 996 blessings, lest they be used to prolong the working hours of workers." ”

It's a refreshing feeling to stand on the moral high ground and wield a stick at will.

But at the end of the day, it's just and fooling people.

Because it is impossible for the capitalists to use expensive electric lamps for their workers as lighting equipment, unless the Ming Dynasty sells them at the price of cabbage.

Of course, there is no doubt that the application of electric lights can improve production efficiency and even improve the quality of life.

Last year, Lao Li and Xia Zhixin used a box of [incandescent bulb E27 screw mouth old-fashioned 40w tungsten general lighting bulb yellow (25 pieces)], worth 29 yuan, to buy off the British Malay Governor's Palace, so that they happily turned a blind eye to the development of the [Oriental Society].

This is enough to show the value of electric lights in this era.

However, according to the intelligence sent back by the white hound, due to the blockade of Daming's light bulbs, the electric light development industry chain in Europe and the United States has not collapsed like Zeiss.

In a sense, the blockade of Daming has led to the acceleration of independent research and development in Europe.

Because the Ming Dynasty eliminated many wrong design ideas for them, they crossed the river by feeling the Ming Dynasty and found the correct research direction faster than in history.

Henry Goebel of the Northern Federal Government and Swan Labs in the United Kingdom are already working on the application of vacuum bamboo charcoal wire incandescent lamps.

What is certain is that Gobert already has electric lights that can last more than 300 hours.

Due to this butterfly effect, Thomas Alva Edison may not have the title of "Father of Electric Light".

Now only 31 years old, he is not the despicable capitalist in history.

He has just set up a workshop-style Edison company, and as a big boss, he personally held the new printing press he invented and made his first pot of gold on Wall Street.

However, Zhu Fugui had already approved a note, and was ready to dump an open-made printing press at a low price through the southern government and smugglers, so as to teach the young Edison a good lesson.

What is capitalism!

What is a market economy!

And electric lights, too.

As long as European and American countries can't make tungsten lamps, it is impossible for Daming's bulbs to drop in price.

As soon as they drummed out, or were about to drummer tungsten lamps, Daming's cheap bulbs were immediately put on sale.

At the same time, we started to develop fluorescent lamps.

In short, before a fundamental breakthrough in the research and development of Western electric lamps, Daming's electric lamps will be priceless luxury goods.

So much so that Bismarck was seriously considering whether to use his personal friendship with His Majesty Zhu Fugui to ask for a few light bulbs to be brought home when he returned home.

But farce often happens in unexpected places.

Early the next morning, according to the schedule, the Prussian delegation will be accompanied by the relevant personnel of the Daming Honglu Temple and the household department to visit some scenic spots in the Fengdu urban area, including the museum, Tianziyan Square, Guozijian, Rising Sun Automobile Factory and other places.

But the whole morning was spent in absurdity.

The reason is that a Junker nobleman who has a short circuit in his brain does not know what is going on, puts a light bulb in his mouth and can't take it out.

In fact, even if he stole a few light bulbs and put them in his suitcase, everyone could understand it.

After all, several of the officials in the entourage were actually planning to do so on the last night.

But what is the operation of this thing to stuff the light bulb into its mouth?

The poor Junker stuffed a light bulb in his mouth and whined as he pointed to the precautions printed on the lampholder.

To be honest, although Daming does not have a trivial matter in diplomacy and foreigners are more than the diplomatic logic of the sky, in line with the traditional and simple way of welcoming guests of the Chinese, Zhu Fugui still equipped the guest house for foreign guests with many good things.

They even have a hotel disposable set for a wholesale price of 2 cents and 6 cents!

Several aristocratic lords have secretly hidden these disposable toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoos, and so on, ready to take them home to please their lovers.

And the table lamp they used was, of course, a good thing that Zhu Fugui bought from later generations.

Although the system erases the age information on the lamp, it is good to die, and the safety precautions on the lamp holder of these lamps have not been erased.

Presumably, the system judged that the content did not reveal information.

However, many people should know how outrageous the precautions on household appliances, toilets, and various daily necessities are in the future.

For example, many toilets have legends that teach you more than a dozen abnormal peeing positions.

Among the precautions on this lamp is not to try to swallow the bulb with your mouth, otherwise it will get stuck in the owner's item.

And this precaution is mainly aimed at bear children, which is naturally illustrated and can be understood at a glance!

So, a tragedy struck.

The officials of Honglu Temple were helpless, and after trying to use butter to smear and brute force to tear to no avail, they had to contact the doctors of Fengdu Hospital to stand by, and then use a small hammer to break the light bulb in the mouth and take it out.

However......

The man who had just knocked out a light bulb as if it were contagious, and a second or third person appeared in the Prussian delegation.

Can this thing really be stuffed in?

Shouldn't it?

Why don't I try it too?

Just gently, don't force it, taste it lightly,

There is absolutely no danger......

I'm not as stupid as he is......

Syllable!

Woowoo......

This little light bulb, this round light bulb seems to have magical power, luring one Junker after another to open their mouths and try.

Bismarck covered his face, eager to completely wash away his Junkers' origins.

Shame, shame!

Many people say that Bismarck achieved the Junker system, and this sentence cannot be completely wrong, but in fact, Bismarck's feelings for the Junker class are mainly based on contempt.

Bismarck once wrote to a friend about his life if he had not been admitted to the University of Berlin and had returned to his hometown to inherit the Junker estate and his title:

"In the first few years I should have trained new soldiers, and then I would have married and had children, and I guess I would have been too addicted to alcohol to be a good farmer.

If you happen to come over in ten years' time, I will invite you to my house, and pick a bulging and open chick from the manor to accompany you, and we will drink potato brandy and hunt together.

When the time comes, you will find that I have become a fat-covered village chief, with a mustache on his mouth, a mouth full of swearing, and he is not used to Jews and French, and when he is murdered by his wife, he beats his own dogs and servants.

I'd probably wear leather trousers and make a big show at the wool market in Stecho, and if someone respectfully called me a baron, I'd give him a nice stroke of my beard, and I'd get drunk and cheer on the king's birthday, and the rest of the time I'd brag or just say, 'Tsk, this is a good horse.'" ”

Although it seems that the life described by Bismarck is completely the ideal life dreamed of by countless urban youths in later generations.

But for Bismarck, this is not Versailles literature that can only go home to become an aristocratic landlord if he doesn't study well, but a serious documentary literature, which is the true voice of Bismarck's heart.

However, if he wanted to make Prussia rise and realize the dream of the final unification of Germany, Bismarck also knew very well that he could rely on this group of Junker nobles with elm brains, crude brains, but full of martial virtues.

Compared to the new bourgeoisie and the Jewish bankers, these Junkers were the real cornerstones of Prussia.

So the strongest politician of the second half of the nineteenth century stopped another entourage who was sneaking his hand to the light bulb, and then couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh:

"With this group of insects, it is too difficult to do a good job in politics!"
