"Principal Song, please come in."

"Yes,"

With permission, Song Yingxing hurriedly walked into the house.

There was a look of joy on his face, and it was clear that something good was happening.

Not long after, Song Yingxing entered the hall and greeted: "Xiaguan Song Yingxing, I have seen Princess Yong'an." ”

Zhu Ningyun is still young and beautiful, and the years seem to have left no traces on her body, and slowly, she is also aware of this, so she covers herself with more solemn clothes.

Zhu Ningyun bowed slightly, sat upright on the upper seat, and had a graceful and luxurious temperament, which was formed by managing the family business all year round.

Zhu Ningyun said: "Principal Song, please take a seat, what's going on today?" ”

Li Xiao's path is to rejuvenate the country through science and technology, so now Song Yingxing is the president of Beiqing University.

Of course, the main management tasks of the principal are entrusted to the vice principal.

His main job is to lead a group of alchemists to conduct research, and the other is to publish a book and write a book on the research results.

These books are kept secret and not circulated to the public, and are mainly used by the Peking Institute of Science.

He is also the director of the research institute, but the number of people in the institute is not large at present, and after the first batch of societies of Beiqing University graduates, he will include talents in the research institute.

"Princess, a great thing."

Song Yingxing said excitedly: "Our research team has successfully experimented with the use of hydroelectric power, and at present, things that can be used for electricity, in addition to light bulbs, have also developed telegraphs. ”

That's right, the reason why Song Yingxing is so excited is that he successfully made it according to the design plan of the hydroelectric power station left by Li Xiao (with a manual on the principle of hydropower generation and a manual for the use of electric energy), although it is a small generator, but it represents the first success.

"You've developed electricity??"

Hearing this, Zhu Ningyun stood up very excitedly.

Electricity, she even understands it better than Song Yingxing, what is this.

Because she has seen the future with her own eyes, she has electricity, not only to make light bulbs as simple, but also to power many electrical appliances, televisions, computers, refrigerators.

These are all in the secret room.

But these are brought by the husband from the future, and they cannot be mass-produced.

Fu Jun said that if you want to enter the future society, you need the concerted efforts of countless scientific research talents, which is also the meaning of the birth of Beiqing University.

"That's right! In addition to electricity, there is also a telegraph"

Song Yingxing said excitedly: "The telegraph is amazing, it can transmit signals through wires, even if it is thousands of miles away, it can be close at hand, and quickly transmit information, which is a great invention." The national teacher is really a god, and with his drawings, we have created incredible things. ”

Zhu Ningyun didn't seem too surprised, after all, the things in his secret room were far more than those of the telegraph.

She smiled and said: "Song Yingxing, the national teacher really didn't misunderstand you, without your ingenuity, even if a mediocre person gets the drawings of the national teacher, he can't make it." ”

This is true, many things on Li Xiao's drawings can't be understood by others, just like reading a book from heaven.

And Song Yingxing is the person who writes heavenly creations, and after he systematically studies physics and chemistry, he can immediately learn and understand them.

The science and technology of the Ming Dynasty, under his leadership, will also flourish more and more.

Song Yingxing arched his hand and said: "Princess, it takes a lot of money and manpower to build a power station. I don't know if I can ask the imperial court for funding."

Zhu Ningyun thought for a while and said, "At this point, you have to prepare a good plan to persuade the Emperor Taishang, as long as the Emperor Nodding, he will definitely give his full support!" Especially your telegram, I must focus on it. ”

Song Yingxing said with a smile: "To be honest, I have already prepared, and now I can use the telegraph with a small power generation device." ”

"Princess Yong'an, wait a minute."

After speaking, Song Yingxing trotted back again, and after a while, he brought a telegraph machine over, and the machine was also connected to the wire, and the other end of the wire was outside the gate of the Guogong Mansion, and there was a Fang Shi standing outside the door, oh, it should not be called a Fang Shi now, but a scientific researcher.

"Princess, this is the telegram, through the electric vein signal, transmit the message, and the lower official will show it to you now."

Song Yingxing put the telegram on the table and began to knock.

The other end quickly received the signal, and then, the Fang Shi outside the gate of the Guogong Mansion replied with a message.

Toot toot, toot toot, toot toot, toot toot toot

There was a beep from the telegram.

Then Song Yingxing recorded it, opened the translation book prepared in advance, and translated it according to the frequency of the message.

"Look, princess, this is the message from the telegram, which means: received, answered."

Song Yingxing handed the note to Zhu Ningyun.

Sure enough, information can be transmitted over long distances.

"Okay, great, Song Yingxing, it turns out that you have been prepared."

Zhu Ningyun quickly understood that this is probably the predecessor of the mobile phone, although it is extremely simple, but this needs to be developed.

Maybe in a few decades, the mobile phone will be born in Daming.

Because my husband once said that China's science and technology once lagged behind foreign civilizations for more than 200 years.

But in the thirty or forty years of hard work, there has been a comprehensive catch-up.

Now, Fujun can directly use the technology of the future.

Maybe the Ming Dynasty can also be there, and it will be equal in thirty or forty years??

Of course, this is Zhu Ningyun's idea.

It's actually still difficult.

"Without further ado, I'll take you into the palace to face the saint."

With that, Zhu Ningyun got up, made some preparations, and took Song Yingxing into Hongwu Palace.

Not long after,

The two came to the Hongwu Palace.

"Grandfather Huang, do you know, the soldiers of the Japanese country are simply vulnerable, grandson, I take three thousand cavalry, I am invincible, I have conquered ten cities in a row, eight families"

At this time, Zhu Gaosui was also talking to Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that the main thing in the Wa Kingdom was to brag about how heroic he was.

As the saying goes, the building near the water gets the moon first, who mentioned this matter first in the emperor, isn't that who is awesome?

Of course, what Zhu Gaosui said was also the truth, which could stand scrutiny, and it was reported in the battle report of the Ming Army.

It's just that it's not that detailed.

For example, Zhu Gaosui conquered ten cities, and the eight major families are true.

However, those ten cities are actually similar to the scale of the county seat of the Ming Dynasty, because of the small territory of the Wa Kingdom, how can the war be as fierce as China has been for thousands of years? The walls were low and could have been taken easily.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy to hear it, and kept praising it, and said that if it hadn't been for crossing the river and the sea, he would have destroyed the Japanese kingdom a long time ago.

"Hey, my sister is here."

As he was talking, Zhu Gaosui saw Zhu Ningyun and hurriedly got up to greet him.

The two siblings haven't seen each other for months, and they miss each other very much.

"Gao Tunnel, you're bragging about yourself again, right? It is as if you are the only one who occupies the Wa Kingdom, Gao Xu has no achievements, and his father has no credit? You're the only one who swept the whole army, right? ”

Zhu Ningyun joked, then walked over with a smile and patted his younger brother's shoulder, "You've grown taller, you've been working hard for you this time." ”

"Hey, hey."

Zhu Gaosui smiled and said, "Sister, you are still so young and beautiful, your skin is really well maintained, and your brother-in-law is really a miracle doctor." ”

Zhu Ningyun gave him a blank look.

"Ning Yun, have you come to see me again, the old man?"

Seeing that his favorite granddaughter was here again, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was basking in the sun in the yard, beckoned, "Come in and sit down, Song Yingxing is also here, but is there something?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang knows Song Yingxing, and Li Xiao once said that the key to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is such a talent.

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang treated these people as strange and ingenious skills.

However, since Li Xiao made Beiping rich and well-fed, Zhu Yuanzhang has also begun to pay attention to and reflect on his own problems.

People are indeed different and cannot be restricted, and some of them are talented and unsuitable for being officials, but they can shine in other aspects.

For example, this group of alchemists can make glass, and they can make glass bulbs shine, such as the train, which can transport supplies for hundreds of miles a day.

Now, development has also begun on the Jianzhou side, and a large number of materials are transported by train, and if it is relied on manpower, it will not work at all.

Zhu Ningyun said: "Grandfather Huang, Mr. Song Yingxing has something good to offer you, you must be happy to see it." ”

"Oh? What's good? Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Emperor Taishang, please see, this is a telegram, and the other end of the telegram is a colleague of the minister, and he is two miles away from the minister at this time."

Song Yingxing put the machine on the ground, sat on the ground, and began to demonstrate the role of the telegraph.

Toot toot, toot toot, toot toot, toot toot toot

The telegram was beeping again.

After translating it, Song Yingxing wrote the message on paper and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

[Minister, Zhao Xinglong see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live! ] 】

Zhu Yuanzhang took the paper, quickly understood the meaning, and said in surprise: "This Zhao Xinglong, two miles away from me, can he knock on me from a distance?" ”

Song Yingxing arched his hand and said: "Yes, Emperor Taishang, the telegram is to transmit information, thousands of miles away, in an instant!" ”

Zhu Ningyun smiled on the side, and said in his heart that the light bulb was not very tempting for the imperial grandfather, but this telegram would definitely make him ecstatic.

That's right, at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, staring at the telegram with his negative hands, and his eyes staring at the big one.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked excitedly: "How far is it?" ”

Song Yingxing nodded and said, "As long as it is the place where the wires are connected, any instructions from the Emperor Taishang can be reached in an instant." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed: "Oh my God, a fetish, a fetish!" You made such a sacred thing? ”

Song Yingxing hurriedly said: "Emperor Taishang, not a minister, this thing is the drawings and scientific and technological books provided by the Ming National Teacher, and the minister can only make it with these things." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "It's still my grandson-in-law, Li Xiao is really a talent, the power of one person can change the entire Ming Dynasty!" Well, the important ministers of the country are unique through the ages. ”

Zhu Gaosui on the side was also shocked and his scalp was numb, and he said excitedly: "Imperial grandfather, this is a divine object, it can't play a role in the steam train, if there is such a thing, we will open up the territory of the Ming Dynasty, cooperate with the train, even if the territory is large, it can be managed, Imperial Grandfather, you only need to be in the palace, you can instantly contact the officials of the world, and instantly understand the situation and battle reports in various places!! ”

That's right, the ancient feudal dynasty was divided into divisions and mergers, and mergers and divisions, but the territory has never been too far, just because it is too far away to manage.

The current territory is almost the limit of what human beings can manage.

If you have this kind of telegraph that transmits information instantly, you can know where there is a rebellion, you can know it immediately, and the train will transport troops and put down the rebellion in an instant.

In terms of management, it is also possible to convey government decrees in a timely manner.

Zhu Yuanzhang figured out the truth in an instant!

"Yes, great! This is an artifact that revitalizes the country, an artifact that renews the country! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sky excitedly, and the ambition to expand the territory in his heart instantly ignited, "After the fourth child occupies the Wa Kingdom, he will go north to Wara, and I will also drive the imperial expedition to the west!" ”

At this time, Tibet and other places were not the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and those places were occupied by the Qing Dynasty.

There was a telegram, so Zhu Yuanzhang moved this thought.

"Grandfather Huang, you are a lot older, just rest, just let the juniors do these things."

Zhu Gaosui hurriedly grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang, helped him back to the chair, and said, "You can rest assured in the palace, and command us by telegraph." ”

"Gao Tunnel, you're sensible."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded: "Just do as you say, your father is our general of the expedition to the north, your eldest brother is our general of internal affairs, we still have so many sons, we will send them all out to fight in the future, how much land they occupy, all rely on their ability, how much they occupy, they will be counted as their domain"

Song Yingxing on the side breathed a sigh of relief, looking at it like this, this matter is stable.

"That's right." Zhu Yuanzhang then remembered that it would definitely not be so easy for the telegram to spread all over the country, he looked at Song Yingxing and said, "Song Yingxing, you are here to ask me for money, right?" ”

Song Yingxing arched his hand: "Yes, Emperor Taishang, the first thing is electricity, starting from power generation, it is necessary to build a hydropower station, which requires a lot of financial resources and manpower." It is comparable to a project like the Grand Canal, but as long as the imperial court allocates money, according to the national teacher, then labor will not be a problem, and the people will not complain when they make money. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Accurate!" ”

Song Yingxing said excitedly: "Emperor Xie, Emperor Taishang is wise!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "How many silver taels do you want?" ”

Song Yingxing said: "For 10,000 taels of silver, first build a Beiping hydroelectric power station, so that the people of Beiping can use light bulbs." Then slowly develop the whole country, and build power stations in various places. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang: "It's too expensive. Wouldn't it be nice to use the light bulb and just use the telegraph? ”

Song Yingxing said embarrassedly: "This is a process, first popularize light bulbs, collect electricity usage fees, and our power plant will be able to return to its original cost before it can enter a virtuous circle, which is also what the national teacher said, and the minister doesn't understand it very well." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said, "Accurate!" As long as it is said by the national teacher, it is all right. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang now has a hundred trusts in Li Xiao, except that he can't be the emperor, what can he do in the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Gaosui was surprised: "10,000 taels of silver, the imperial court doesn't seem to have so much money to come up with, and the previous national debt needs to be used for the Northern Expedition and the construction of Jianzhou, now, the eldest brother Gao Chi is afraid that he will have a headache." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Although it is a little difficult, let Gao Chi find a way." ”

Zhu Ningyun said with a smile: "Grandfather don't worry, Li Xiao said, now that we occupy the Wa Kingdom, the silver mines over there are directly mined by the imperial court, and the mined silver can be used directly, 10,000 taels of silver, and it has already been settled." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, "Great, Li Xiao has arranged everything for us, so let's do it!" ”

Soon.

Zhu Di, who was in the Wa Kingdom, received a letter from the imperial court.

Zhu Di unfolded the letter and found that it was written by his daughter.

"Such good silver can be used casually?"

Zhu Di was happy for a while, and found a letter written by his father in the imperial court.

"Huh? Build a hydroelectric power station, what stuff? and ten thousand taels of silver. ”

"The silver you just got in your hand, gone?" (End of chapter)
