Chapter 60: A Thousand Miles of Communication?

Soon in the guest room, the best tea was poured.

"Wang Xianggong, you can come to the society, it is really brilliant. Wu Ao was very emotional, "Ah Zhu, Miss A Bi has said to me many times, Jiangning this place, Wang Xianggong is the first person, I have been listening to Wang Xianggong's story since I was a child, Ah Zhu, A Bi once told Wang Xianggong if he came to the newspaper, the newspaper will not hide everything, let me be a good hospitality, I remember this, and now I finally look forward to your arrival." ”

Wang Anshi smiled slightly.

"I remember that Miss Ah Zhu and Miss A Bi once said to me, if you have something to say in the newspaper, you can come to this Jiangning newspaper, you can contact the Luoyang headquarters within a tea kung fu, a tea kung fu, this time is very short, I don't know if there is really such a thing?" Wang Anshi bit the words 'a tea kung fu' very hard.

Wang Anshi lived in seclusion in Zhongshan Mountain, Jiangning.

The two major reporters of the New Youth Daily, Ah Zhu and Ah Bi, had visited him many times, but Wang Anshi only met once, and shirked the interview, and at that meeting, Ah Zhu and Ah Bi invited him Wang Anshi to visit the newspaper office, saying that if Wang Anshi had an article or something to publish in the newspaper, he would go to Jiangning Newspaper, and the people of the newspaper would contact Luoyang in just one cup of tea.

A cup of tea?

At that time, Wang Anshi was stunned.

Wang Anshi is well-informed, knowing that Nanjing and Luoyang are far apart, not two thousand miles, but also 14,500 miles, this distance is the use of carrier pigeons, good luck also has a day, bad luck, carrier pigeons do not give force, is a few days, half a month, a cup of tea, when can thousands of miles of sound of the gods?

Wang Anshi only thought that Azhu Abi had said the wrong thing at that time.

But Ah Zhu and Ah Bi repeated it again, and Wang Anshi knew that the tea that the two women said was true.

Wang Anshi was naturally curious in his heart, and even didn't believe it.

This time, I was about to pass on the manuscript, so I came directly to the Jiangning branch.

Wu Ao raised his eyebrows, looked at Wang Anshi and said, "It's true, isn't it Wang Xianggong this time?"

"I did write something. To be published in the newspaper. Wang Anshi glanced at the servant next to him, and the servant even took out a letter from his body, "Mr. Wu, this is the manuscript written by my master, it's troublesome." ”

"Oh?"

Wu Ao's eyes were full of irrepressible excitement.

The newspaper has been running for so long, although it is because Li Kefei first published an article in the newspaper. The way has been opened, and now there are countless manuscripts every day, but most of these manuscripts are ordinary readers, and there are still very few real scholars and those with official positions.

The most helpless thing is that Li Kefei only published an article in "The Story of Huanxi Garden", and no manuscript was reported after that, and so far the contributors are not counted as the "Analects". The biggest official position is also one grade lower than Li Kefei.

Although Wang Anshi has resigned and gone into hiding.

However, his status among the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty was on the same level as Sima Guang, Cheng Yi and others.

If you get his article published.

Wu Ao rushed to the servant and took the envelope respectfully with both hands.

"Wang Xianggong, I will contact the main department of Luoyang, if you don't dislike it, you can also come and take a look. ”

"See?" Wang Anshi looked at Wu Ao.

Wu Ao hurriedly said: "That's the case, we can directly talk to the people in Luoyang through a device." I think Wang Xianggong must be very interested in seeing that kind of device. ”

"What?"

Wang Anshi was stunned.

Wang Anshi has read "Travels to the Immortal Country", and some communication equipment is recorded in the Travels to the Immortal Country. As a knowledgeable and well-informed wise man, Wang Anshi, like all people in the martial arts world, has always regarded "Travels to the Immortal Country" as a book written by Qin Xianao to promote his own doctrine, and does not think that everything in it exists.

But this time.

Wang Anshi raised his eyebrows. looked at Wu Ao with a smile: "But the mobile phone in the fairy country?"

"The king is a wise man. Wu Ao said respectfully, "The mobile phone in the Immortal Kingdom, that kind of technology, is too advanced, and it can't be made in a short time." Qin Gongzi's device is called telegraph, and some of its functions are similar to those of mobile phones. ”

"Telegram?"

Wang Anshi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stood up: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

The telegraph room was not far away, and after a few steps, Wu Ao took Wang Anshi to a room.

"Huh?"

Wang Anshi's eyes were very sharp, and he saw at a glance that this door was different from other doors, it was locked, and the style of this lock had never been seen by Wang Anshi.

"Wang Xianggong, the telegram is a secret of my newspaper, and it has never been known to outsiders, Qin Gongzi said that this thing is Sima Xiangye, and he will not let them know. ”

"Sima Guang won't let you know?"

Wang Anshi looked at Wu Ao suspiciously, now Sima Guang is in the sky, supported by all the people, his reputation is not lower than that of him Wang Anshi, and Sima Guang is the prime minister of the dynasty, Wang Anshi is just a down-and-out old man living at home.

Wu Ao smiled and said: "That's right, that's what Miss Ah Zhu and Miss A Bi said, they said that although the prince failed to change the law, he was a hero. ”

"Haojie?"

Wang Anshi's face was strange.

"Ah Zhu and Miss Ah Bi said that although Sima Xianggong has no loss of morality, he is pedantic and always opposes their son-in-law, Qin Gongzi, and hinders progress, so they don't like it. Wu Ao unlocked the door and pushed the door open, "Xianggong Wang, come in with me." ”

Wang Anshi followed Wu Ao into the room.

There are several cabinets against the wall in this room, especially one of which is very large, and this cabinet does not look like a normal cabinet for things.

"These are telegraphs. Wu Ao pointed to the large cabinets, "After the Luoyang headquarters finalizes the draft, it will send the message to us through this telegraph, and then print it here and then distribute it outside. ”

"Yes!" Wang Anshi walked to the cabinet with a calm face.

"Mr. Wu, can this cabinet be opened, can you explain it to me in detail?"

"Naturally. Wu Aolian opened the cabinet one by one, revealing the ugly machines with strange shapes inside.

"Can this thing be transmitted thousands of miles?" Wang Anshi said in a deep voice, his eyes shooting at Wu Ao aggressively, "What is the principle of this? Can you teach the old man?"

Wu Ao smiled bitterly: "I only know how to use these, as for why I can transmit sound for thousands of miles, but I don't understand the manufacturing principle, but I can't solve your doubts." But if you really want to know, you can ask Qin Gongzi. ”

"This thing was made by Qin Xianao?"

Wang Anshi withdrew his gaze and stared at Wu Ao, looking at the machine, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Mr. Wu, you contact Luoyang first. Wang Anshi said.

"Wait a minute. Wu Aolian walked to a cabinet next to the table and opened Wang Anshi's manuscript first. Then I pulled a drawer on the side of the machine, and then pressed a button on the top of the machine.

"Di~Di~"

A ticking sound sounded.

And so it was. Wang Anshi's face was gloomy.

Wu Ao pressed a few times, then stopped, and waited for about a few breaths.

Inexplicable.

A tick-tick sounded.

"Wang Xianggong, this is the response to the message received over there. I'll pass you on your manuscript. Wu Ao said while watching Wang Anshi's manuscript, and pressed the button again and again, and Wu Ao stopped the button for a long time. "Wang Xianggong, your manuscript has been sent over there, please wait. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

Wang Anshi's gaze fell on those machines. If it was Wang Anshi's acquaintance, he would definitely find out that it was a look of contempt and disdain.

At this moment, Luoyang Newspaper.

"It's Wang Xianggong's article!" Qiao Lian looked at the telegram that had just been sent from Jiangning, and the last signature of the article widened his eyes, and then he picked up the written telegram and rushed out of the telegram room.

Not far away, Guo Yuanyuan put down the manuscript in her hand and walked to the window.

"Sheng Chao called and said he wanted to surprise me, what surprise could he have?" Guo Yuanyuan was curious when he thought about the call from the Qin Dynasty a month ago, the Qin Dynasty was cultivating outside and wanted to comprehend heaven and earth. Even Guo Yuanyuan knew about how to cultivate the Dao Heart Demon Dafa, but she understood the heaven and earth. It is impossible to succeed in cultivating the Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa.

"I haven't been back to Luoyang for a month. ”

"I marry people in the flowers, and everyone else is going to be a wife, which is very comfortable, but I and Rou Niang and the two sisters can't ......live in peace."

Now Guo Yuanyuan not only has to complete the longevity recipe of that time, but also serves as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and even occasionally writes for "Wulin Feng". Fighting with Duan Haifeng can be said to be very busy.

"Editor-in-chief Guo, Jiang Ning called, and Wang Anshi submitted an article. A voice rang out.

"Wang Anshi's article?" Guo Yuanyuan was shocked, and even flew out of the room. "Whoosh!" Guo Yuanyuan appeared in front of Qiao Lian, who was running.

"Huh?" Wang Lian was startled, Guo Yuanyuan's appearance just now was as fast as a ghost.

"This Guo Niangzi, such a powerful skill. Wang Lian was speechless in his heart.

"Show me. ”

"Yes, Editor-in-Chief Guo. Wang Lian handed over the manuscript. Guo Yuanyuan took it, and then she flashed and entered the room again, and then her eyes fell on the manuscript paper, and she saw that the first line read: "Proposal for Literary Improvement." ”

Guo Yuanyuan's face suddenly became solemn.

"This Wang Anshi usually makes him say half a sentence and is not praised, but he didn't expect that this time, it seems that there will be a big one. Guo Yuanyuan even read this article carefully, and the more she looked at it, the more dignified her expression became, Wang Anshi's writing is needless to say, what is really terrible about this article is the content.

"Reform the language, implement new rules, and emphasize content over form, what Wang Anshi said is consistent with what Sheng Chao has always advocated, but it's just ......" Guo Yuanyuan went out with the manuscript.

Jiangning newspaper telegraph room.

"Di Di ~~~"

The telegram rang, Wu Aolian analyzed the contents of the telegram, and suddenly his brows furrowed.

"Mr. Wu. Wang Anshi's gaze fell on Wu Ao's frowning brow, "Is it the arraignment over there, and the three editors-in-chief are not there?"

"Ah, Xianggong Wang, you are really a god. Wu Ao turned his head and looked at Wang Anshi apologetically, "It's true that the three editors-in-chief are not there in Luoyang, only the editor-in-chief is here, and the editor-in-chief can't call the shots about your article, and you must wait for the three editors-in-chief to discuss before they can reply to you." ”

A hint of inexplicable meaning flashed in Wang Anshi's eyes.

"When will they get back to me?"

"This ......" Wu Ao hesitated a little, "the three editors-in-chief have their own business, the articles of the newspaper, now they don't care very much, they will only come to see it when they feel free, so this time is fast and there will be news after the tea effort, and the slow is a few days, it is really difficult to determine." ”

"That's right. Wang Anshi raised his eyebrows, his face flushed with red, "It's okay, I can afford to wait, by the way, Duan Haifeng didn't say that he gave you the new printing technology he invented, the old man is very interested." ”

"This printing Azhu and Abi also said, let the prince watch it, please come with me. Wu Aolian led Wang Anshi to the back house.

"Telegraph, mobile phone, this Qin Xianao is really not honest at all. Wang Anshi's face was full of smiles, and his eyes shone brightly, "Thousands of miles of communication, in an instant, through that piece of iron? coaxing children is not so coaxing, the telegram is fake, but the printing technology should be true, originally this trip was also for printing, this time you have to take a good look." ”

It can be said that since Wu Ao talked about the telegram, Wang Anshi didn't believe it, even if he entered the telegraph house and looked at those machines, Wang Anshi didn't believe it in his heart.

Then Wu Ao's statement that the 'three editors-in-chief' was not there, which can be said to be expected by Wang Anshi. (To be continued......)
