"Father, please don't rush to agree so early!"
At this moment, Ying Feiyu rubbed his eyes, as if he had just woken up from sleep.
"how……?"
Ying Zheng was puzzled, "Huang Yuan just said that the telegraph machine has overcome the difficulties and the first batch will be produced soon!"
"Father, it is not difficult to produce a telegraph machine, but what is difficult is to train the talents to operate the telegraph machine...!"
Ying Feiyu kept moving his hands and feet, as if he had just slept uncomfortably, "Every telegraph machine needs to be equipped with professional craftsmen, otherwise it will be just a pile of junk and useless!"
"Then cultivate it quickly!"
"Father! It takes time to cultivate talents. It is better to equip the three provinces and six ministries with telegraph machines first. As for the counties and counties in Daqin, let's slow down for the time being!"
"Uh...! Okay, then just follow what the prince said, other counties will wait first!"
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and nodded.
"Your Highness, I wonder how long it will take to mass-produce telegraph machines and spread them throughout the Qin Dynasty?"
Feng Quji raised his hands and asked.
"If we build a factory specifically and then set up a school to train professional talents, it is estimated that it will be popularized within a year!"
Ying Feiyu made a rough calculation and said.
"Well! Yes, yes, it's only a year, not too long!"
Hearing this, Yingzheng Longyan was overjoyed.
"Then when the first batch is produced, which of the six films will be given first?"
Wang Ben asked persistently.
Ying Zheng was helpless and pursed his lips towards Ying Feiyu, "Ask the prince!"
"Your Highness, please tell me, who should I give it to first?"
"We can build forty or fifty units in the first batch. We can give two or three units to each of the three provinces and six ministries, and then gradually popularize them!"
Ying Feiyu smiled calmly and easily resolved it.
"That's great, haha!"
After getting the answer, the veterans laughed one after another.
"Now that Daqin has railways and telegraph machines, no matter where there is any change, we can immediately send the news back to Xianyang, organize the army, take the train, and go to the battlefield!"
Thinking of this, a smile immediately appeared on Ying Zheng's face.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
All the ministers handed over their hands.
The Qin Dynasty continued to develop and prosper, and officials like them also benefited from it, and their lives became better and better!
Fortunately, they are officials of the Qin Dynasty. If they were from another country, they would be worried about how long their country can last and how many days they can survive. Once the Qin soldiers come, what will the whole family do?
How can I sit back and relax like now, making different meals every day, and drinking Wuliangye and small beer as much as I want, which is better than living gods!
"Father, have you ever thought that this telegraph machine is not only needed by the court, but also of great use to the people!"
Ying Feiyu completely woke up from his sleep and regained his energy.
There was nothing he could do about it, as soon as he mentioned such nonsense, he would immediately feel sleepy.
When Huang Yuan was talking about the principle of the telegraph just now, it was like a lullaby. He fell asleep after just two sentences!
After everything was said, he slowly woke up again!
"folk……?"
Mentioning this matter, Ying Zheng began to think, "Yes! It is more difficult for ordinary people to send messages than to the court. If there is a telegraph, the communication between relatives will be more convenient!"
"But if the telegraph machine is used among the people, will the information from the imperial court be leaked?"
Feng Quji thought for a moment and then asked.
The other ministers nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry! Analyzing telegrams requires the use of professional code books. The code books used by the private sector, the court and the military are different, and the message will never be leaked!"
Ying Feiyu explained with a smile.
"That's good!"
After hearing this, the old guys felt at ease.
If you think about it carefully, they are worrying too much.
His Royal Highness has always been very thoughtful, how could he not think of leaking information?
"Your Highness, if my prediction is correct, this telegraph machine should be able to make a lot of money if it is used among the people, right?"
Zhang Han rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of this.
In the past, when most of the people were illiterate, the job of writing letters emerged among the people.
After writing a letter, you still need to find a courier to deliver it!
Just these two things will cost people a lot!
Therefore, he guessed that if the telegraph machine appeared, it would be able to combine the two and transmit it to other counties as quickly as possible, and the charges would certainly not be too low.
"Hmph! Just sending a letter, how much money can I make? If Zhang Shangshu likes it, this business can be given to the court, and I will only make money from the production of telegraph machines!"
Ying Feiyu said very generously.
The telegraph machine cannot make you rich overnight, but like a tractor, it can make you rich over time.
It's just that it's so cumbersome that he doesn't bother to take care of it!
"Is what His Highness the Crown Prince said true?"
Zhang Han's eyes suddenly lit up and he became very interested.
"When has this prince ever said empty words...?"
Ying Feiyu curled his lips and continued: "The imperial court can set up a telegraph agency in each county, just like a tractor, and rent it to the people! As long as the people take the content and tell the other party's address, the message can be sent. Charge a certain fee!”
"Like a tractor rental?"
Zhang Han's eyes flashed, obviously very interested.
It was Ying Feiyu who proposed leasing tractors to the private sector.
At first, Ying Zheng and Zhang Han thought the tractor was too expensive and not cost-effective to rent.
But they didn't expect that tractors would be very popular. From spring to autumn, tractors would be idle almost every day.
Even in winter, there are still many people who hire tractors to pull firewood into the mountains!
It has only been a few years, but it has almost paid back!
Starting next year, you can start making profits!
The telegraph can deliver messages quickly. It is estimated that after it is launched, it will be more popular than tractors!
"That's right! It's like renting!"
Ying Feiyu nodded.
"I wonder how much this telegraph machine is going to cost? How many units does Daqin need to prepare?"
Ying Zheng, an old coward, blinked and asked like a miser.
"The telegraph machine has not been officially put into production, so we can't calculate it yet. Once the first batch is produced, Huang Yuan will have to calculate the cost to know...!"
Ying Feiyu smiled and continued: "Father, don't worry, I am studying this telegraph machine not to make money, but to benefit the country and the people!"
"You kid are so kind?"
Ying Zheng glanced slightly sideways.
He remembered that this boy had hacked them many times.
How could he suddenly change his temper?
"My son, this is also for the development of science and technology! If the researched things are not widely used, how can anyone devote themselves to studying them? If no one is willing to study science and technology, how can there be more advanced inventions in the future?"
"More advanced development? Isn't this telegraph machine advanced enough?"
"Haha! Father, this is just the beginning. As long as you are willing to study hard, it is not impossible to find someone who can hear each other's voice even though they are thousands of miles apart! You can even see the other person's photo clearly!"
"You can still hear sounds thousands of miles apart? See photos? How is this possible?"
Ying Zheng's jaw suddenly dropped with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Father, with masters among the people, everything is possible...!"
