Before there were no telephones, Ying Feiyu arranged special telegraph operators and telegraph machines for each county, in order to better maintain communication and convey orders.

Now with a phone, both can be removed.

This is not to say that telegraph operators are useless and lose their income.

Instead, send them all to the local telegraph office, and at the same time reduce the cost of sending the telegram a little!

After the cost is reduced, more people will use the telegraph to send messages, which means small profits but quick turnover!

The installation cost of the telephone has indeed been reduced a lot, and the average wealthy can install it, but the ordinary people still can't, they still have to rely on the telegraph.

Therefore, reducing the cost of telegraphy is a real good thing for the people!

There was no need to wait for the newspaper to be issued, when the craftsman carried a ladder and a telephone line to install a telephone in the city for Wang Ben and others, the news had already spread!

"Look at what Wang Shangshu's family is doing? Isn't it already electrified? Why are you still pulling the strings? ”

"Don't you know? Craftsmen are installing phones for several Shangshu families! ”

"What? Is the phone built? Why haven't I heard? ”

"It is estimated that it has just been made, and the newspaper will announce it in the next two days!"

"Great, we can also spread the sound for thousands of miles in the future......!"

The faces of the people were filled with curious and expectant smiles, watching the craftsmen busy with their work.

It's the same in the palace, Huang Yuan went back to prepare, and personally brought someone to install it.

As long as there was a telegraph in the palace, a telephone was installed!

Ying Zheng, who was hiding in Yuxiu Palace and whispering to Lian'er, received the news and hurriedly ran out, "The phone has been made?" Why haven't I received any news? ”

"As soon as I made my son, I ordered Huang Yuan to install it, and I haven't had time to report to my father!"

Ying Feiyu's eyes were falling on the busy craftsman, and he said a perfunctory sentence casually.

"Haha! Great, in the future, I will lie in the palace, and I can know the trend of the world with a casual phone call! ”

Ying Zheng grinned and said beautifully.

"Father, this installation of the telephone is to replace the former telegraph! If Erchen remembers correctly, there was no telegraph in your palace before, right? ”

Ying Feiyu glanced at him.

This old guy has become very selfish since the Zen position.

He will enjoy it, and he will directly install a telephone in his palace.

I didn't think about how rare the number of telephones had to be as soon as they were built!

Fortunately, these are two batches together, and if the first batch is just made, he will say this, and he will have to say a few words!

"Replace the telegraph? I remember the last time they all signed up to install the phone, didn't they install it for them? ”

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, somewhat unhappy.

"They paid the money, so naturally there is a ......!"

Ying Feiyu said truthfully, "It is estimated that the craftsman is installing it for them at this time!" ”

"They didn't have a telegraph in the past, did they?"

"Nope!"

"Then why are they safe and I can't?"

Ying Zheng crossed his hands on his hips, indignant.

"Father, didn't you listen to what your son just said? They paid for it! ”

Ying Feiyu was a little impatient.

"Paying the money? Isn't it money? How much did they pay? I'm also handing it over! While the craftsman hasn't left yet, let them install a phone in Yuxiu Palace! ”

He's been looking forward to it for so long, and now that it's finally finished, how can he be restless to play with it?

"Five thousand gold!"

This is the setup fee that was previously planned.

Although the old goods felt a bit expensive, they also gritted their teeth and paid the money.

"Okay, I will also pay 5,000 gold, hurry up and let them install it for Yuxiu Palace!"

Ying Zheng couldn't wait.

"Father! Even if you want to install it, shouldn't you install it in your own dormitory? Why should it be installed in the mother's palace? ”

Ying Fei has a flat beak.

Could it be that this old guy plans to stay permanently in the future and doesn't plan to leave at all?

"Does it make a difference?"

Ying Zheng actually asked him in turn, and directly asked him speechless.

"It's just a gift from me to your mother, anyway, I'm in Yuxiu Palace every day, what's the use of installing it in the dormitory? I can't run back to the dormitory from Yuxiu Palace every time to make a phone call, right? ”

Sure enough, as Ying Feiyu expected, Ying Zheng planned to weld to death in Yuxiu Palace in the future, and if there were no special circumstances, he didn't plan to go back to his dormitory at all!

"Good! The father took the money, and the sons immediately asked them to go back to get the telephone! ”

Ying Feiyu originally planned to install it for his mother, but now the scumbag father has sent the money under his nose, and he will accept it when he sees it.

"Don't worry, I promise a thousand gold, as long as it is promised to you, when will it be less?"

promised to install it for him, and Ying Zheng's tense face was full of smiles.

Then he instructed Jing Fu to get the silver ticket and hand it over to Ying Feiyu, "How about it?" I didn't lie to you, did I? I am also the emperor, how can I lose my trust because of this little money? ”

At this moment, the guards came to report, and Wang Ben, Zhang Han and others asked to see them.

"Huh? These old guys don't study the phone at home, how did they get here? ”

Before Ying Feiyu could speak, Ying Zheng was puzzled first.

"Bring them here!"

Ying Feiyu smiled indifferently, and had already guessed a rough idea.

It is estimated that it should be from the mouth of the craftsman that the installation fee of the phone is only fifty gold.

At the beginning, they paid 5,000 gold, of which there was a difference of 4,950 gold.

Don't look at these old guys' rich oil, but they are all very stingy.

Not to mention more than 4,000 gold, even if they spend an extra 40 gold, they will all have to feel distressed!

"Yes!"

After the soldiers received the order, they hurried to do it.

After a moment, he turned back with a few old fellows.

A few people didn't expect Ying Zheng to be there, they were stunned for a moment, and then they strode over and bowed to the two.

"The old minister sees His Majesty, and the Emperor Taishang ......!"

"Hmmm! Excuse me! ”

Ying Feiyu nodded slightly.

"You guys aren't at home tinkering with the phone you just installed, how did you get here?"

Ying Zheng directly asked about the doubts in his heart.

That is, the craftsmen have not yet freed up their hands to install it for Yuxiu Palace, otherwise, he will definitely not waste time here, and he will have to try the effect even if he says anything!

"Ministers...... The ministers are here for the phone call! ”

The old goods were stunned when they saw Yingzheng, and they didn't want to say much.

But thinking about it on the other hand, this matter is a matter of His Majesty's pit for them, and it is normal for them to come to ask for money, so they can't suffer in vain, right?

"What? Can't use? ”

When he said this, Ying Zheng was still proud.

At the beginning, he had personally tested the telephone, and probably knew how to use it, "The telephone is much simpler than the telegram, so he directly picked up the microphone and ......"

"No, Emperor Tai, we're not here to use the method!"

Before Ying Zheng finished using the method, the old goods said with a bitter face.

"Not for the sake of the method? So what else could there be? ”

Ying Zheng was quite surprised.
