Chapter 642: Broken Copper and Iron

"Isn't this a machine that can travel thousands of miles?"

After the ministers arrived at the Qilin Hall, they looked at the two boxes that were the size of a woman's dressing box placed in the hall, and immediately frowned.

The old goods also sank in their hearts.

Even the ministers who had supported Ying Feiyu before muttered in their hearts.

Before the prince studied what kind of machine traveled thousands of miles a day, there were many doubts, but after it was built, it was called a majestic and magnificent.

But such two small boxes are not as big as their food boxes, can they spread sound for thousands of miles?

Unless this thing can fly!

"Alas......! It seems that this test is really going to fail! ”

The old goods shook their heads one after another, very helpless.

"Look, there's a lot of buttons on this box, I don't know what they're for!"

"It doesn't matter what it's for, you can't rely on these buttons to get the message out, right?"

"Yes! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said before that the telegraph can transmit news thousands of miles away within half an hour, and even if these buttons are magical, it is impossible to do it......! ”

Before Yingzheng came, all the ministers gathered around to watch the two small boxes in the middle of the main hall and some messy wires.

However, no one dared to get too close, for fear of touching something that should not be touched, and if the experiment failed, the blame would be blamed on them.

After all, they've never seen any of these things, and who knows which one can move and which one can't?

"Your Majesty has arrived at ......!"

Just as everyone was talking around the two small boxes, a shrill voice came, and the ministers hurriedly sorted out their clothes and returned to their positions.

Just after doing all this, Ying Zheng's round belly was the first to break into everyone's sight!

Then there was Jingfu, who carefully supported Yingzheng and sat on the dragon chair!

Behind him, there were a group of princes, seated one after another!

"See Your Majesty!"

The ministers saluted respectfully.

"Hmmm! It's all ......! ”

Ying Zheng waved his hand expectantly, and then gave an order, "Order Huang Yuan to go to the palace, bring the telegraph up, and demonstrate it to everyone!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers present focused their eyes on the two small boxes in the hall.

Isn't this a telegraph?

What is that?

Why is it here?

"Father, the telegraph in the palace is the telegraph, just pass Huang Yuan and a few craftsmen up!"

Ying Feiyu reminded softly.

Before this, although he had never seen what a telegraph machine looked like, he often saw it on TV in later generations, and he probably had an impression of this thing.

And the drawings of the telegraph machine were copied by him from the universal search, and he is very familiar with its appearance!

With just one glance, he could be sure that the two small boxes in the hall were the telegraph machines that had just been built!

"What? Remex! This kind of joke is not to be made! ”

Hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately frowned.

Obviously, like all the ministers, in the imagination, the machine that can transmit sound for thousands of miles must be quite large.

Not to mention like a locomotive, it can't be so small!

"Father, do you think your son is joking with you?"

Ying Feiyu is a positive color.

"You kid said before that telegraphs can travel thousands of miles!"

"That's right! How did my father know that the telegraph in front of him could not transmit sound for thousands of miles? ”

"Just these few pieces of broken copper and iron, thrown on the street that no one picks up, can deliver the news thousands of miles away? Are you kidding? ”

Ying Zheng's sleeve robe flicked, slightly annoyed.

He called the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty over, and as a result, this kid showed them these pieces of broken iron, not just kidding!

"Tongwu Hou, Zhang Shangshu, don't you believe it either?"

In the face of Ying Zheng's questioning, Ying Feiyu not only did not mean to be angry, but instead set his eyes on a few old goods.

"Ahem......"

"Forehead ......"

Although the veterans didn't answer directly, their eyes dodged, pretending not to hear.

The meaning is already obvious, they are the same as Yingzheng, they just don't believe it!

"Since everyone doesn't believe it, how about we take a gamble?"

Ying Feiyu squinted her eyes and grinned.

It's been a long time since I've come across such a great opportunity, and everyone is skeptical, it's a great opportunity to bet!

"Bet?"

Ying Zheng took a closer look at Ying Feiyu, and that familiar smile appeared on his face again.

Almost every time he pits someone, this smile appears!

"As the king of a country, how can I participate in gambling?"

Although he didn't believe that these two little boxes could deliver a message, he knew the kid.

As long as this kid has this smile, he must be confident, so why should he throw himself into the net?

Have you been cheated by this kid before?

The ministers looked at each other, as if they had some ideas, but they were afraid of Yingzheng and didn't dare to speak!

"This is not the morning dynasty, but I invite you to watch this telegraph together, and you can entertain yourself!"

As if seeing through their thoughts, Ying Zheng waved his hand very generously and let them bet casually, while he himself was waiting to watch the fun.

"Uh...... This......? ”

Even if Yingzheng relented, none of the ministers dared to be the first to speak, and they seemed to be waiting and watching.

Seeing this situation, Ying Feiyu gave them another shot of strengthening, "Today, the prince is in a good mood, give you a benefit, no matter how much you bet, the prince will bet one to three, how about it?" ”

"Bet one to three?"

The ministers' eyes lit up suddenly.

"Then if I bet 100 gold, won't I get 300 gold?"

"Yes! You can earn 200 gold with your mouth, which is equivalent to our salary for a year! ”

"Not really! The more you bet, the more you earn......! ”

Sure enough, as soon as they heard this, many ministers' eyes lit up and they counted with their fingers.

"But what if we lose? Wouldn't it be necessary to put half a year's salary into it? ”

"Pull it down, if I hadn't seen the telegraph, maybe I would still have this doubt, but now that the telegraph is in front of you, do you think that with these two small boxes, you can transmit the news thousands of miles away? I'm afraid I can't do it for a mile! ”

"No! In my opinion, it's better to expect this thing to deliver a message than to shout at a certain level! ”

"That's right! Didn't you hear that just now? Even His Majesty said that this is broken copper and iron, and no one will pick it up if it is thrown on the street......! ”

There were also one or two timid ministers who questioned it, but they were directly scolded back by the other ministers around them.

"Well, that's right!"

After listening to their persuasion, the questioning official nodded approvingly, and made up his mind to make a bet with the prince.

"Today, we made money, and we went to Zuixianglou to drink at night, let me tell you, there is a new one named Xiaocui, and the waist is called a good!"

"Shh......h If you keep quiet, you won't be afraid of being heard by Your Majesty? ”

"Don't worry, let's stand at the end, far away from Your Majesty......!"
