Chapter 656: The Imperial Court Doesn't Participate
"Father, are you looking for me?"
An hour later, Ying Feiyu appeared in the imperial study.
Seeing him coming, Ying Zheng and Zhang Han glanced at each other, revealing a very chicken thief expression.
"Ahem...... Forehead......! Oh, yes! Let Zhang Shangshu tell you! ”
Ying Zheng touched his nose in embarrassment and pushed the matter to Zhang Han.
The telegraph business was robbed by the imperial court, but after asking the price, he repented.
Ying Zheng suddenly felt that his face was a little unbearable, and it was really difficult to speak!
"Huh?"
Ying Feiyu tilted her head and looked at Zhang Han.
"That's right, His Royal Highness the Prince, just after leaving the other garden, I went straight to the palace and reported the matter to Your Majesty, Your Majesty feels that the court should not compete with the people for profit, if you set up a telegraph office to earn the people's money, it is really inappropriate, I am afraid that it will cause the people to criticize! But if there is no charge at all, the follow-up expenses are still very large! ”
Zhang Han made a very embarrassed expression.
"What does that chapter Shangshu mean......?"
"The telegraph machine, let's leave it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Earn more and earn less, the court is not involved! Hey! ”
Zhang Han showed a sly smile.
"Oh ......!"
After hearing these words, Ying Feiyu also understood.
The two old pickers just heard him say that there are still a lot of expenses in the follow-up, and they can't charge too much from the people, so they retreated.
What else do you say that you can't compete with the people for profit?
When the cooperative was established to rent tractors to the people, I didn't see them say that they couldn't compete with the people!
The tractor is about to return to its roots, isn't that old guy Zhang Han also happy!
"Are you sure the court won't do this telegraph business?"
Ying Feiyu tilted her head and raised her eyebrows in question.
"Sure, sure!"
Zhang Han nodded again and again.
"I'll tell you first, this telegraph is very profitable!"
"That's not going to be done, hehe, not to be done!"
Even if Ying Feiyu told them the truth, Zhang Han still felt that this kid wanted to trap the court.
"Father? Are you sure you don't want to do it? ”
Looking at Zhang Han's cowardice, Ying Feiyu turned his gaze to Ying Zheng again.
Don't look back at him making money, these two old guys said that they didn't give them a chance!
"Hmmm! I have already thought about it, no matter how much the court sets the price, there will be people who will be too expensive! I'd better leave it to you kid! ”
Ying Zheng had the same attitude as Zhang Han, saying that he did not want to take over the civil business of telegraphs.
"That's fine! Since the court doesn't want to do it, then let the ministers do it, how about giving some shares to the court? ”
"No need, if the court says not to participate, it must not participate!"
Ying Zheng's attitude is very resolute.
"Father, don't regret it in the future!"
"Don't worry! I don't regret it! ”
"Okay!"
At this time, Ying Zheng, although he knew the convenience of the telegraph, did not realize how much profit this communication industry would bring in the future.
Like trains and electricity, this is a monopoly industry.
Although the effect is slow, whoever is in the hands can make a lot of money and be able to pass it on from generation to generation!
Before, he just didn't want to do it, but now that the court doesn't want it either, then he's welcome!
In the future, it is guaranteed that Ying Zheng's intestines will be green!
After leaving the imperial study, Ying Feiyu went to Huang Yuan and asked him to find a few trustworthy subordinates to take charge of the telegraph machine!
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, didn't you say that the matter of the telegraph has been given to the imperial court?"
Huang Yuan was puzzled.
"Yes! But the father and Zhang Han thought that the follow-up investment of the telegraph machine was high and the profit was small, so they refused to do it! There's no way, Prince Ben just needs to take over! ”
Ying Feiyu shrugged helplessly.
"In this way, I'm afraid Your Majesty will regret it in the future!"
"Humph! In the future, even if his intestines are repentant, it is impossible for this prince to give him to the court again! ”
At the beginning of the development of the communication industry, they didn't do it, and when it developed and made a lot of money, they wanted it again, and there was no way.
"Why don't you hand over this telegram business to Gongzi Heng to manage?"
Huang Yuan knows the importance of the telegraph, if it is handed over to an unreliable one, it will be exploited in the future.
So he thought about it again and again, and remembered to win the balance.
Since the beginning of his research on electricity, this son has been almost by his side, studying with him.
Even this telegraph, he was involved.
And he is a royal man, and it is only fitting that the telegraph business will be handed over to him!
"It's just...... I wonder if that's appropriate? ”
After speaking, Huang Yuan regretted it a little.
It's a good guy to be a son, so it's not good to let him take care of these chores!
"Nothing is appropriate, as long as he wants it, it is appropriate! The prince also has to keep himself busy, be a useful person to Daqin, and can't eat, drink, and entertain all day long, and live in a mess! ”
Ying Feiyu felt that Ying Feiyu's choice should be respected in this matter.
It is up to him to decide whether to manage the telegraph business or not!
It's better to keep yourself busy than to stay in the palace and be a prince who doesn't want to be seen by anyone!
He could obviously feel that since Ying Heng often went out of the palace, followed Huang Yuan to engage in scientific research, and built these machines, the whole person had changed a lot.
I talk more than I did before, and I always have a smile on my face!
"Good! Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, rest assured, leave this matter to me! ”
With his words, Huang Yuan was relieved.
"Hmmm! Originally, it was planned for the imperial court to set up a telegraph agency to specialize in managing the telegraph business, but now since the father does not want to take over, he will set up a telegraph company to mainly engage in telegraph business! ”
"Yes......!"
Huang Yuan responded, and suddenly laughed, "The imperial court really missed a great opportunity to make money!" ”
"No way! This prince has asked many times, and the heads of Zhang Han and his father shook like rattles! ”
Thinking of the scene in the imperial study, Ying Feiyu suddenly felt funny.
In a few years, you will definitely be able to see two old pickers eating deflated!
It's cool to think about!
Then Ying Feiyu explained some things about the telegraph company, Huang Yuan listened carefully, nodded again and again, and kept each one in mind!
Then I went to find Yingheng.
When Ying Heng learned that he was going to manage the telegraph company, he almost jumped for joy.
As if he couldn't believe it, he asked again and again, "Are you sure you want to put the telegraph company in my hands?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that as long as the prince is willing, it is fine!"
Huang Yuan nodded firmly.
"Yes! Willing! Absolutely! ”
Ying Heng nodded as fast as pounding garlic, as if this was the only way to express the joy in his heart.
Should I say it or not, Yingheng is really concerned about this matter, and in just three days, the telegraph company has been opened decently.
Just wait for the mass production of telegraphs and the completion of telegraph training, and then you can start making money!
The telegraph industry, unlike electricity, needs to train talents in electricity, and also set up wires!
As long as the telegraph machine finds a room in each county, hangs a plaque, moves the machine over, and the telegraph operator is in place, it can start making money!
Now that the head office has been established, the next step is to recruit troops, develop branches in the counties of Daqin, and wait for the production of telegraphs!
