What Zhu Yuanzhang wrote is actually very simple.
It was just a poem by Li Bai, "Visiting the Phoenix Terrace in Jinling". After he finished writing it, he gave it to Yunqi.
Yunqi folded it up, trying not to let others see it, and then sent it to the technicians who operated the telegraph. At the same time, he asked the Jin Yiwei people to surround the room.
No one is allowed to leave here without Zhu Yuanzhang's order.
Only such a test can be accurate, otherwise it would be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, and Lao Zhu could kill a large number of people.
"let's start!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "After you spread the news, ask them to come back and tell us as soon as possible."
"yes!"
The technician who operated the telegraph felt a little nervous, but he was full of energy when he thought that His Majesty would come to inspect his work, and he must perform well in front of His Majesty.
Then, the sound of "didi" telegraph sounded in the room.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very curious when he saw it.
It seemed unbelievable that such a thing could transmit information, but the good boy was real, and the technology of the Science Pavilion was really powerful, so he believed it for the time being.
Zhu Xuan said: "Grandpa Huang, just wait a moment. News will come back soon."
"That's fine!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sat down and waited aside.
Yunqi hurried over to entertain him.
However, not long after they waited, there was a sound from outside.
"Your Majesty, someone said that the message has been received."
The voice of Jin Yiwei Jiang Wei sounded outside.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Let him come in."
The person from the telegraph room a mile away quickly came in, knelt down in front of Lao Zhu, and held up a piece of paper with both hands.
Zhu Yuanzhang took it and opened it. It turned out to be Li Bai's poem.
"My dear grandson, this..."
Zhu Yuanzhang was so shocked that he didn't know how to describe it for a while.
He was certain that Jin Yiwei would not let anyone who had read the note go out, and it was impossible to tip off anyone who was one mile away.
Zhu Xuan said: "This is the power of the telegraph. If Grandpa Huang doesn't believe it, you can have someone check to see if there is anything in the room where you can peek."
"No, we believe in my good grandson."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head slightly, not wanting to check this problem, and then rubbed his hands and said: "No, we have to try a few more times and send the pen and ink again."
He just had a bit of a child's heart, and he was also a bit enthusiastic about telegraphs.
If you want to try out the benefits of the telegraph many times, think of it as a toy and treat the telegraph as a big toy.
After sending the written things down, Lao Zhu actually kept an eye on the situation around him to make sure that no one could tell the news, so he waited quietly.
There are no rules for what I wrote this time, just a few random words.
Even if it was peeked at, I couldn't write it down immediately.
Zhu Yuanzhang was quite confident about this time.
After waiting for a while, the person from a mile away came back and handed Zhu Yuanzhang another note.
"It's the same again!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that his irregular contents were completely presented, he was so surprised that he didn't know how to describe it. He continued: "Guaisun, this telegram is amazing!"
Zhu Xuan said: "The technology of telegraph is actually not mature yet. Grandpa Huang can wait until it is truly mature, and he will feel even more powerful!"
Not mature yet, but already so powerful.
When it matures, wouldn't it be even more powerful?
Zhu Yuanzhang solemnly said: "I have sent an order to the Science Pavilion that we must study the telegram with all our strength. By the way, dear grandson, we want to spread Yingtian's news to the borders of Datong in an instant. What conditions are required?"
Zhu Xuan said: "The required conditions are actually very simple, which is to build many signal towers!"
As he spoke, he went outside, pointed to the antennas on the roof, and added: "These antennas are what Sun Er said are a form of signal towers. Radio waves mainly rely on these to propagate."
Lao Zhu still didn't understand what it was, but the more he didn't understand, the more powerful he felt, and said: "Then build more signal towers. If a lot of money is needed and there are not enough good people, we will let the Ministry of Household Affairs allocate the money. "
The telegraph is so easy to use, I believe the Ministry of Accounts will be happy to give the money and will not object.
Besides, the Treasury of the Ministry of Revenue is not short of money now.
Zhu Xuan explained: "Actually, signal towers are not that troublesome. What is really troublesome is that each signal tower needs power supply. When building a large number of signal towers, you also have to build power plants, which takes some time."
He also gave Grandpa Huang some science knowledge, about the relationship between signal towers and telegraphs, and what the uses of electricity were.
"We don't understand this."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head slightly. The more he listened to the popular science, the less he understood it, but he said: "Whatever your good grandson says, then do it. Just do it according to your good grandson's method!"
Anyway, the entire Ming Dynasty will belong to Zhu Xuan in the future.
As long as it is within a reasonable range, Zhu Xuan will agree to whatever he wants to do and will not object easily. This is also for the development of Ming Dynasty.
"Grandson, thank you, Grandpa Huang."
Zhu Xuan nodded and said, "My grandson will definitely not let Grandpa Huang down."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "We also believe that my good grandson will not let us down."
After inspecting the telegraph situation here to ensure that the telegraph was really useful and powerful, they temporarily left the factory.
As for how to develop the telegraph and how to continue its research, Zhu Xuan had already given the Science Cabinet a charter. As long as he followed the charter, there would be no problems and everything would be within normal limits.
Return to the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little excited, imagining how far the telegraph would develop in the future, and he was very excited.
"My dear grandson, continue to accompany us to court tomorrow."
Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "But we still have some memorials. How about you read them with us?"
Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "Okay! As long as Grandpa Huang doesn't feel that his grandson has overstepped his bounds."
Zhu Yuanzhang said happily: "If my good grandson has the ability to overstep his bounds, we will be very happy!"
It can be seen that Lao Zhu is really happy and wishes that Zhu Xuan could take over his position, inherit the throne, and lead the Ming Dynasty. As the most stable grandson of the emperor in history, Zhu Xuan can do whatever he wants.
Of course Zhu Xuan wouldn't do it either. He really overstepped his bounds directly and was just joking with Grandpa Huang.
Next, they read the memorial together and handled some government affairs.
night.
When Zhu Xuan returned to the East Palace, he saw Jingqiu, the little palace maid who was favored by him, coming over with dinner and placing it in front of Zhu Xuan. She stood aside quietly.
"Let's dine together!"
Zhu Xuan took her hand and said.
Jingqiu lowered her head and said in fear: "I don't dare."
Zhu Xuan said helplessly: "Return a slave? You have to change it in the future. It is impossible for you to be a concubine, but I can still give you the title of a concubine."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Jingqiu knelt down and kowtowed.
She has a very standard, slave-like attitude. Although she is favored by Zhu Xuan, she is still respectful in front of Zhu Xuan and does not rely on favors to be arrogant.
Zhu Xuan had to sigh that the person arranged by the emperor's grandfather was very suitable. Such a little palace maid was very suitable to stay in the harem.
Those who do not argue or quarrel will live peacefully as concubines in the future.
However, it is not yet certain whether Jingqiu's calmness is just an act.
