"Lao Zhang, don't just look like you've eaten, but hurry up and tell me, how does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trick us?"

Wang Ben was an anxious man, and as soon as he heard him say this, he kept urging.

"Yes! Lao Zhang, don't sell it, there are no outsiders here, just say it quickly! ”

Several other old goods are also urging again and again.

"Alas......! Do you remember the cost of electricity that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince analyzed with us? ”

Zhang Han said with a deep sigh.

"Hmmm! Of course I do! It's not that the wires above our heads are expensive, they are all copper! ”

This point, the old goods must not forget, and they all nodded again and again.

If it weren't for this, they might have to grind for a while and let the prince push the price down again.

It was because I learned the cost of the wire, so I readily agreed!

"If the guess is correct, we should all think the same at that time, spending 5,000 gold to pull a pure copper wire from Weishui to the house, the price is not high, and even some advantages!"

"That's right!"

The veterans were blunt, because that's exactly what they thought at the time.

There are even many ministers who feel that even if they no longer use electricity in the future, they can exchange a lot of money for removing this wire and recasting the copper inside, without losing at all!

"But now the fact is that electricity does not need to enter Xianyang from Weishui at all, but nearby, from the already erected wires, and then connect a section to ......!"

After Zhang Han finished speaking, he nodded towards the telephone pole on the main street, "This section is the distance of three or four zhang, plus the wires laid in the houses in the house, how many can there be in total?" The cost of a thousand gold is enough, right? ”

"Forehead ......"

As soon as these words came out, the old goods subconsciously looked at the telephone pole on the side of the street as if they had been empowered.

Visually measuring the distance, it is really three or four feet away.

In other words, they spent 5,000 gold, and in the end they could only get such a small section of copper wire?

"Oops! It's really hard to prevent! How do we know that electricity can be used in this way! ”

After understanding, Kang An calmly slapped his thigh.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really good everywhere, why can't he get along with us everywhere in terms of money?"

Feng Quji's face was also full of helplessness.

"Alas! After all, we are shallow in knowledge and don't know how to use electricity, otherwise, we wouldn't have scrambled to fall for this! ”

Chun Yuyue shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Pull it down! His Royal Highness the Prince's little head is full of all kinds of novelties, even if we learn more, it is not as fast as him to make new things! ”

From that kid to Daqin, he was a blockbuster, and then there were endless novelties, which made people overwhelmed.

While improving their lives, it has also pitted them a lot!

"Or ......! Let's go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and ask him to return some of the money to us?" ”

Kang Anping tentatively spoke.

"Retreat? You're thinking too much, aren't you? The money that went into the pocket of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, have you ever seen it come out again? ”

Zhang Han couldn't help but sneer.

"Uh......! That's right! ”

Kang Anping couldn't help but nodded.

After saying this, he himself felt unreliable.

Not to mention His Royal Highness the Prince, even if it were him, he would not give the money back!

After all, they all installed it voluntarily, and they rushed to fall for it!

And no one put a knife on their necks to force them to be safe!

"Alas! The next time you have a money transaction with His Royal Highness the Prince, in addition to asking the price first, you must also ask about the length, distance and materials! ”

Zhang Han said with emotion.

Before, they didn't ask the price, but they were hacked and lost!

As a result, the price was asked this time, but I didn't know that I could still operate like this, and I lost another wave!

"Actually, I can't think like this, it's not just a few of us who install electricity, but also the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, they all paid the money and waited in line to be fooled...... Oh...... No, it's waiting in line to install electricity! In this way, this is all electricity income! In the future, we will return to our capital faster! ”

Although Wang Ben also paid the money and was fooled, Ying Feiyu was his son-in-law, everyone was a family, and they always had to help say something good.

"Hmmm! What else can I do? That's all I can think about now! ”

Zhang Han nodded helplessly.

When the electricity dividends are distributed in the future, there will still be a part of their family!

"Now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are queuing up to install electricity, and it is estimated that the people are also in a hurry, and when the craftsmen finish installing it for us, it is estimated that it will be the turn of rich businessmen from all over the country! With their joining, we will return to our capital faster! ”

Thinking that there will be more wronged leaders in the future, the old people can still balance a little bit in their hearts.

"Okay, let's do it, although it's less than we imagined, but there is still a piece of copper wire that belongs to us!"

"Yes! It's better than nothing! ”

So far, they can only think about it themselves, so Zhang Han waved his hand, and a few old goods scattered around, continuing to watch the craftsmen work back and forth.

"Outside, outside, the imperial court has new regulations on electricity!"

"Come and see, beware of breaking the law......

At this moment, a group of little newspaper boys waved the newspaper in their hands and walked towards their street.

"Grandpa, would you like a newspaper? Just printed! ”

"Big brother! Are you installing electricity? You have to get a copy, and it says the new regulations of the imperial court on electricity......! ”

The newsboys worked hard to sell, and when they saw people, they began to publicize it, until they reached the side of a few old goods.

"The imperial court's new regulations on electricity? How did we not know? ”

Listening to the newsboy's sales pitch, the old people couldn't help but be stunned.

You know, their six Shangshu are all here, if there is any big move in the imperial court, they can't not have received any news at all!

Besides, the power company was set up separately, so why did the imperial court make regulations?

"Give me one!"

Just when everyone was puzzled, Wang Ben took out a few copper coins from his arms, handed them to the newsboy, and bought a newspaper.

If you want to know what is written in the newspaper, it is easiest to buy a copy and read it, so why guess?

So, the old guys hurriedly gathered around, wanting to see what was written in the newspaper.

"Electric wires are public property, and no one may destroy, smelt, or intercept them without permission, otherwise they will be punished with a felony?"

After finding the edition they cared about the most, Wang Ben just read the title, and everyone's hearts suddenly sank.

Okay! What a thorough job they did!

I was still comforting myself before, thinking that with this 5,000 gold, I could still see a pure copper wire of about 1,000 gold.

But after seeing the news in the newspaper, I immediately died of this heart!

Wires are not allowed to be destroyed or smelted without permission, otherwise they will be punished?
