Ling Si only stayed in the backyard of Guanghua Palace for half a day, but he asked Ying Zheng for leave and rested at home for seven full days before going out!
Firstly, there is a wound on the face, and it is inevitable that people will ask about it when going out, so it is difficult to explain.
Secondly, after a lot of trouble, he was really frightened and had to calm down at home before going out!
When he had regained his energy and walked out of the Ling Mansion, a group of old people were gathering on the street outside the Tongwuhou Mansion with joyful faces, waiting for electricity to be installed in their homes!
"Haha, let me tell you, you can't beat me. Apart from the imperial palace, our palace will definitely be the first to light up!"
"So what? Huang Yuan has promised us that we will all install it before dark! Even if you are fast, you are only a few hours ahead of us!"
"That's right! Even if it's installed and the sky is bright and clear, it's useless to turn on the lights. Don't we have to wait until night?"
"That's right! We will all have installed it by then. It will be fun if everyone turns on the lights together, haha...!"
A few old guys have always been like this and often compare themselves with each other in private.
If one family has something good, then the other families will certainly not be outdone.
Fortunately, Huang Yuan arranged for them all to install electricity on the same day, so that their mansions could have lights on at night.
Otherwise, those at the back will definitely be reluctant to let go!
Seeing this scene, Ling Si also came over!
Although he was punished by that boy, it did not stop him from being crazy about electricity. He still had to install it when it was necessary!
After all, this thing is really easy to use and can illuminate the entire mansion!
Ever since, he also walked towards the old guys!
After greeting everyone, they went to find Huang Yuan.
But the old guys' attention was all on the workers pulling wires and doing the work, and they simply dealt with it and it was over, without paying much attention to him!
"Shaojian Huang!"
Ling Si was the first to salute, interrupting Huang Yuan who was supervising the work of the workers.
"Captain Ling!"
Seeing the visitor, Huang Yuan subconsciously returned the gift.
But as soon as the two of them looked at each other, he noticed something strange on Ling Si's face, "Huh? Lieutenant Ling, your face...?"
Ling Si unconsciously touched the bridge of his nose and eye sockets, and said awkwardly: "Well... I found a suspicious person in the palace a few days ago. During the fight with him, I accidentally suffered a slight injury. It's okay. No problem!"
Being frightened by Ying Feiyu was so embarrassing that even his wife and concubines were too embarrassed to say it.
I'm afraid that if someone accidentally leaks the news, he will really not be able to hold his head up in the future!
So he found an ambiguous excuse to prevaricate everyone!
No one is going to get to the bottom of it anyway!
"Oh! That's it! Captain Ling is so brave!"
Huang Yuanxin thought it was true and bowed again to show his respect.
"Uh...! Mr. Huang, my Ling Mansion also wants to install this power. I wonder when it will be available?"
Seeing that he was so polite, Ling Si felt guilty, so he quickly changed the subject and revealed his true purpose of looking for him.
Knowing that all the officials had already signed up, he only spoke at this time, and he probably had to wait in line.
"Ouch! Lieutenant Ling, this is hard to say...!"
Sure enough, as soon as he mentioned the introduction of electricity into households, Huang Yuan shook his head helplessly and continued: "Ling Xiaowei, you also know that electricity in Daqin has just begun to develop. Before this, everyone knew nothing about it. , so there is a shortage of talents, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already said that the installation will be done in the order of payment, I am afraid Captain Ling will have to wait for a while!"
"Yeah! It doesn't matter! I'll order someone to send the money for electricity to the house later!"
Ling Si didn't say any more nonsense and just nodded in agreement.
"It would be great if Colonel Ling could be considerate!"
Huang Yuan smiled and nodded, continuing to stare at the craftsmen at work.
"Huh? Are you not doing your job right...?"
At this moment, Zhang Han suddenly frowned and waved to Huang Yuan, "Young Master Huang, you should come and take a look!"
"What's wrong……?"
Huang Yuan hurried forward and looked at the movements of the craftsmen's hands. He didn't think there was anything wrong. "Zhang Shangshu, the craftsmen did the right thing!"
"No! Let me ask you, is this electricity drawn from a hydroelectric power station outside the city?"
"That's right!"
"Then why did your craftsmen fiddle with the telegraph poles in the palace for a while and then pulled a wire to the residence of Marquis Tongwu?"
Zhang Han pointed to a tall telephone pole on the main road of Xianyang City and said.
This kind of pole extends from the power plant to the palace.
There are wires set up on it, and one will appear every once in a while!
"That's right! Electricity is like running water, and the two wires on the main road are like water channels. Just set up the wires and lead them into the house. There is nothing wrong with it!"
Huang Yuan nodded and said.
"What? To install electricity, just pull a wire from the street?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Han felt bad.
"That's right!"
Huang Yuan, who was unaware, nodded repeatedly.
"In that case, there is a telephone pole at the door of my Zhang Mansion. Wouldn't it be possible to connect it directly to it?"
"Yeah! You can also say that...!"
Huang Yuan responded and continued: "The most difficult thing about introducing electricity into homes is not introducing electricity, but laying various lines in the house. This is the most time-consuming!"
He thought that the reason why Zhang Han had such a big reaction was that he didn't understand why a seemingly simple thing took so long, and he was a little impatient.
As everyone knows, Zhang Han is calculating the length of the line, "Then... laying lines in the house will require a lot of wires?"
"That's not necessary, just make sure the line is open!"
Huang Yuan smiled lightly.
"What?"
Zhang Han's face looked as ugly as if he had swallowed a dead fly.
"What's wrong? Lao Zhang? We don't have to pull the wires from the power station outside the city. Wouldn't it save time and effort? Let us all install electricity faster?"
Until now, Wang Ben still didn't understand what Zhang Han meant, and was still grinning because he could be the first to install electricity.
"Yes! Lao Zhang, he probably only has an hour here. The next one is my Kang Mansion. Just wait and go, haha!"
Kang Anping didn't think much about it and was still happily waiting for the electricity to be installed.
"Hmph! I usually say that you two are idiots, but you still don't admit it. Your Highness has tricked us again!"
Zhang Han glared at the two of them angrily, then walked to them and whispered.
"What? Have you been tricked again?"
"Lao Zhang, please speak more clearly. What does this mean?"
The two were puzzled.
At the same time, Feng Quji, Chun Yuyue and others slowly walked towards them. Several old guys gathered around and whispered quietly.
Huang Yuan was always responsible for the work. He was not interested in the twists and turns in the court, so he did not get involved. Instead, he found an excuse and moved towards the craftsmen, avoiding a few old guys. , give them space and let them mutter to themselves!
