Chapter 646: I can't look down on this little money
"Father, don't be in a hurry to agree so early!"
At this moment, Ying Feiyu rubbed her eyes, as if she had just woken up from her sleep.
"How......?"
Ying Zheng was puzzled, "Huang Yuan has already said just now that the telegraph has overcome the problem, and the first batch will be produced soon!" ”
"Father, it is not difficult to produce telegraphs, but what is difficult is to train talents to operate telegraphs......!"
Ying Feiyu kept moving his hands and feet, as if he had just slept very comfortably, "Every telegraph machine needs to be equipped with a professional craftsman, otherwise it will be a pile of broken copper and iron, and it will not be of any use!" ”
"Then hurry up and cultivate!"
"Father! It takes time to cultivate talents, so it is better to equip the three provinces and six ministries with telegraphs first, and as for the counties and counties of Daqin, it will be slow for the time being! ”
"Uh......! Well, then according to what the prince said, the other counties will wait first! ”
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and nodded.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I don't know how long it will take to mass-produce telegraphs and spread them to the entire Great Qin?"
Feng Qujian asked.
"If you build a special factory, set up a school building, and train professionals, it is estimated that within a year, it will be popularized!"
Ying Feiyu made a rough calculation and spoke.
"Hmmm! Yes, yes, it's just a year, and it's not too long! ”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng was happy.
"Which of the six will be given to the first batch of production?"
Wang Ben asked relentlessly.
Ying Zheng was very helpless, and snorted at Ying Feiyu, "Ask the prince!" ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, tell me, who will you give it to first?"
"How can the first batch of forty or fifty units be built, and two or three units can be divided into two or three units for each of the six departments of the three provinces, and then it will be slowly popularized!"
Ying Feiyu smiled indifferently and easily dissolved it.
"That's great, haha!"
After receiving the reply, the old ones laughed.
"Now that I have a railway and a telegraph in Daqin, no matter where there is any change, I can send the news back to Xianyang at the first time, organize the army, take the train, and go to the battlefield!"
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng's face immediately raised a smile.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
The ministers gave up their hands one after another.
Great Qin continues to develop and prosper, and these officials are also stained, and life is getting better and better!
Fortunately, as officials of Great Qin, if they change to another country, at this time, they should be worried about how long their country can last, and how many days they can live, once the Qin soldiers come over, what will the family do?
How can you sit back and relax like now, change the daily meals to make tricks, drink Wuliangye and small beer casually, and race the living immortals!
"Father, have you ever thought that this telegraph is not only needed by the imperial court, but also has a great effect on the people!"
Ying Feiyu completely woke up from her sleep and regained her spirits.
There is no way, as soon as he talks about that kind of crooked thing, his sleepiness will come immediately.
When Huang Yuan just talked about the principle of the telegraph, it was like a lullaby, and he fell asleep after listening to two sentences!
When he was done, he slowly woke up again!
"Folk ......?"
At the mention of this, Ying Zheng began to think, "Yes! It is more difficult for the common people to transmit information than the imperial court, and if there is a telegram, it will be more convenient for relatives to communicate with each other! ”
"But if the telegraph is used for the people, will it leak the information of the imperial court?"
Feng Qu thought for a moment and asked.
The other ministers nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry! Analyzing the telegram requires the use of a professional codebook, which is different between the people, the court and the army, and will never leak information! ”
Ying Feiyu explained with a smile.
"That's good!"
Hearing this, the old goods were relieved.
If you think about it, it's they who are overthinking.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been thoughtful, how could he not think of such a thing as leaking information?
"His Royal Highness the Prince, if my expectations are correct, this telegraph should be able to make a lot of money when applied to the people, right?"
Zhang Han's eyes rolled, and he suddenly thought of this.
In the past, most of the people were illiterate, and the people rose up to write letters.
I wrote a letter, and I had to find a messenger to send it out!
For both of these alone, the people will have to spend a lot!
Therefore, he guessed that if the telegraph appeared, it would be a combination of the two, and it could be transmitted to other counties as quickly as possible, and the fee would definitely not be too low.
"Humph! How much money can you make by just sending a letter? If Zhang Shangshu can see it, this business can be given to the imperial court, and the prince will only earn money for the production of telegraphs! ”
Ying Feiyu said very generously.
The telegraph can't get rich overnight, but like the tractor, it can go a long way.
It's just that it's very cumbersome, and he doesn't bother to care!
"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is true?"
Zhang Han's eyes suddenly lit up and he was full of interest.
"When did Prince Ben say empty words......?"
Ying Feiyu pursed his lips and continued: "The imperial court can set up a telegraph office in each county, like a tractor, to rent it to the people!" As long as people take the content and say the address of the other party, they can send the message for a certain fee! ”
"Like a tractor rental?"
Zhang Han's eyes flashed, obviously very interested.
The tractor was rented to the people, and it was Ying Feiyu who proposed it.
At first, Ying Zheng and Zhang Han thought that the price of the tractor was too high and it was not cost-effective to rent.
But they didn't expect that the tractor was very popular, and from spring to autumn, the tractor was almost not idle for a day.
Even in winter, there are many hired tractors to go to the mountains to pull firewood!
It's only been a few years, and it's almost time to pay off!
Starting next year, you can start making a profit!
The telegraph can quickly deliver news, and it is estimated that after its launch, it will be even more popular than the tractor!
"That's right! It's the equivalent of renting! ”
Ying Feiyu nodded.
"I wonder how much this telegraph is going to sell? How many units does Daqin need to prepare? ”
Yingzheng, an old picker, blinked his eyes and asked, like a miser.
"The telegraph has not been officially put into production yet, and it cannot be calculated, so the first batch of production will be produced, so that Huang Yuan can only know the ......cost after calculating the cost!"
Ying Feiyu smiled and continued: "Father, rest assured, the sons and daughters are studying this telegraph, not to make money, but to benefit the country and the people!" ”
"You kid have such a good heart?"
Ying Zheng looked sideways slightly.
He remembered that this kid had hacked them a lot of times.
How could it be that he suddenly changed his mind?
"Erchen, this is also for the development of science and technology! If the research is not widely used, how can anyone devote themselves to it? If no one wants to delve into technology, how can there be more advanced inventions in the future? ”
"More advanced developments? Isn't this telegraph advanced enough? ”
"Haha! Father, this is just the beginning, as long as you are willing to study, it is not impossible to study in the future to study a distance of thousands of miles and still be able to hear each other's voices! They even said that they could see each other's photos clearly! ”
"Thousands of miles away, can you still hear the sound? See a photo? How is this possible? ”
Ying Zheng's jaw dropped suddenly, revealing an incredible expression.
"Father, the master is in the people, everything is possible......!"
