Chapter 10 The Telegraph

To be honest, Zhu Youxiao was shocked by Quan Yucheng's words. Is this still a teenager? Even his sister is going to betray him. It's okay to grow up.

Zhu Youxiao raised his hand and knocked Quan Yucheng hard on the head, whispering fiercely: "You are so despicable! You dare to sell your sister, too."

Quan Yucheng touched his painful head and smiled like that, "Brother Emperor, you are also very despicable. You like my sister and this sister at the same time!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Okay, I promise you, but I can't give you this jade pendant. I'll let Li Jinzhong accompany you to pick something from my treasure house!"

Quan Yucheng was dissatisfied after hearing this, stretched out five fingers and said, "Five pieces!"

"Two pieces!"

“Four pieces!”

"Three pieces!"

"Trade!" Quan Yucheng excitedly clapped Zhu Youxiao, which was a contract with Zhu Youxiao. Quan Yucheng was already very satisfied with this result. Quan Yucheng thought that the emperor's treasure house was not full of treasure goods. If he took a few out this time, he would not have fallen the eyes of the officials. As he thought about it, he actually started to laugh.

Zhu Youxiao was not interested in treasures and other things, but in order to reduce his own losses and to avoid these national treasures falling out in Quan Yucheng's hands, Zhu Youxiao said again: "Wait for the three treasures to be taken out by yourself. If someone touches them before leaving the palace, they will be taken back by me!" Zhu Youxiao was afraid that this kid would take out the big rare goods in the treasure house, so he hurriedly thought of such an idea.

It doesn’t matter to Quan Yucheng. Their whole family is also famous in the capital and rich. If you want some treasures, just to be fresh. Besides, Quan Yucheng is from a merchant family. How come he doesn’t know the truth that the more exquisite it is, the more valuable it is. He replied casually: “Brother Emperor, don’t worry, I won’t move your treasure house away!”

Zhu Youxiao felt embarrassed and became stingy with the child, so he called Li Jinzhong and gave some instructions carefully, and then asked Li Jinzhong to take Quan Yucheng to the Shangbaojian to select treasures.

Quan Yucheng was about to leave, but turned back again and whispered mysteriously to Zhu Youxiao: "I heard that the emperor's brother is going to marry my sister as the queen, right? Then I am not my uncle!" After that, he laughed a few times and ran away. Zhu Youxiao, who looked depressed, stood there stupidly.

When Quan Yucheng ran away, Zhu Youxiao exclaimed that he was fooled. This kid just wrote a blank check for himself. Why did he bid for his sister and Miliana? Zhu Youxiao cursed in his heart. It seems that being an emperor is too comfortable and his mind is confused. This trick fooled him!

"Emperor, the young lady bowed to the emperor!" After Miliana saw that Zhu Youxiao came, she was busy talking to Quan Yucheng, but forgot about herself, so she went up to pay tribute to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao turned around and saw that Miliana was standing in front of him with a graceful look. He immediately looked excited and said, "You are Miliana from the Research Institute, right? Do you still remember me?"

Miliana thought that your lustful appearance turned into ashes and I recognized you, so she replied, "Remember, I still remember the first time the emperor was so lustful."

Zhu Youxiao was shocked. It was indeed from a Western education background and he spoke boldly enough. It was normal to just take it out and behead him, but he was still very tolerant of the beauty.

So Zhu Youxiao coughed twice, covering up his embarrassment, and replied, "Just remember, are you responsible for this transmitter? I'm just about to find someone to demonstrate to me?"

"Back to the emperor, this transmitter was assembled through the cooperation of many craftsmen of the institute. This time I just demonstrated it to the emperor according to the wishes of Song Yuanzheng!" Miliana often attends various activities of the institute, and now she is the spokesperson of the institute. She is already in the answers to questions.

"Oh, then send me a telegram!" Zhu Youxiao knew that it would be difficult for him to please him, so he quickly changed the subject.

At this time, Miliana shouted at the craftsmen, and then the craftsmen became busy.

In a room around the open space.

‘Dong’, a heavy porcelain bottle was placed on the ground. The porcelain bottle was sealed, with two copper heads exposed on it, and two enameled fine copper wires were pulled out. Zhu Youxiao looked at Miliana in confusion.

"Lead battery!" Miliana said simply.

Zhu Youxiao was even more confused and said, "How did you know that you made this lead-acid battery? I have never taught you!"

"The physics and chemistry books given by the emperor are doing this. It took only a few days for several craftsmen from the institute to make it." Miliana's answer was straightforward.

Zhu Youxiao obviously didn't know why this beauty had such a big temper and always despised herself, but she didn't get angry.

"Bang, bang!" Two more heavy porcelain plates were placed on the table. This time, Miliana said quickly without waiting for Zhu Youxiao to make moves: "This is an electromagnetic relay, this is a firing device!"

"Bang!" Another sound, Zhu Youxiao immediately said: "I know this, isn't it just copper wire!"

There was a snickering sound in the room, and Miliana's face also slowed down a lot. Then, under the assembly of several skilled craftsmen, a small device was installed, and then a piece of enameled copper wire was taken out of the door and brought to the big guy in the open space outside the door.

Miliana explained on the side: "The one in the house is the transmitting device and the receiving device, the one outside the door is a signal amplifier. There is no such thing outside the door. This telegram can be at most twenty steps, which is the thirty meters mentioned in the emperor's physics book. With the signal amplifier outside, it can be maintained for about 3 kilometers. This has been experimented by the research institute!"

When Zhu Youxiao heard that it was three thousand meters away, the distance was still good. At least it was okay to put a telegram line at the research institute in his own office. He had some expectations and said, "Can I send a report now?"

"It's OK, but you have to pay attention to the other side."

Zhu Youxiao pressed the button lightly, and saw a small steel piece in the porcelain plate jumping. Zhu Youxiao pressed it according to the agreed signal three long three short three short.

Just after pressing, I heard the shouts of Wei Chao from outside the door from afar: "Your Majesty, I have received them, three long and three short, nothing wrong."

Zhu Youxiao laughed and said to everyone in front of him: "Transfer my order, each of the institute will reward two taels of silver, and each craftsman who developed this telegraph machine will have twenty taels. In addition, Song Yingxing will send me a memorial reward. I will also reward you according to Song Yingxing's memorial!"

Then he said to Miliana: "I went to the last auction of the institute. You performed very well. I will reward you with merits. I will add your contributions this time and I will reward you with a pair of jade bracelets. This is a tribute, priceless!"

"Emperor, the civilian girl was just following the order of Song Yuanzheng to demonstrate this telegraph to the emperor. What is the credit there? This reward is not dared to ask for!"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't see through this woman anymore. Is she so hateful? Zhu Youxiao suddenly became a little alert. There was a proverb that said: "The language of power and money are lies!" Zhu Youxiao has lost the standard of measuring herself for a long time in this state of being praised. Perhaps in Miliana's eyes, she is just a foolish monarch who is greedy for beauty.

No matter what Zhu Youxiao’s plan to pick up girls, this day is a happy day for Zhu Youxiao. The emergence of the telegraph was very calm. Zhu Youxiao initially felt that it would be very difficult to create these things that would only appear two hundred years later in history in the Ming Dynasty. However, he did not expect that the research institute, a research institution founded by itself, had done so many things in just three months. I don’t know if it was because he underestimated the abilities of the ancients or the contribution of his enlightenment book, which was known as the Book of Heaven. Anyway, it is undeniable that he artificially accelerated the history of technological development by 200 years, and the journey of two hundred years was completed in three months!

The Emperor's Diary

On December 30th, the first year of Taichang (I don’t know how many years it was in AD), the sky was clear during the Spring Festival.

From the moment I woke up from my sleep after lurking for many years, or when I was reborn from this dynasty hundreds of years later, or when I experienced the life hundreds of years later in my dream, from the moment I woke up in my dream, I was no longer me. Too many messy thoughts circulate in my mind, just like people have both diligence and laziness, sometimes I am also hardworking and lazy in this new world. I intend to change this backward society, save the billions of people who are trapped in dire straits, and make more people live happier and happier. However, I am an individual and an ordinary person, but I am always obsessed with the emperor, the emperor, enjoying beauty, enjoying food, and enjoying everything that people in the Ming Dynasty could enjoy. Once upon a time, the sharpness was decreasing, and I did not change the environment, but the environment changed me.

There are many things you can do in three months. Sometimes I can’t do anything in three months. I have done a lot of things in three months, but I haven’t done many things. I always want to be a seed buried deep underground. Before breaking the ground, this seed is so different because he knows that he was once a big tree with towering branches and leaves.

Am I really happy to be an emperor? I always ask myself, in theory, an emperor should not be happy, and he should not be happy. Billions of people are waiting for your management, and you must solve the food and clothing of billions of people. They are unhappy and you are happy, then you are not a competent emperor. I always want to be an emperor happily. What a ridiculous refutation. When you enjoy the happiness of the emperor, where are the happiness of those people?

With such a big world, how much can I change? With such a big Ming Dynasty, how much can I change in three months?
