On the third day after the newspaper was published, the news spread wider and wider.
Not only the entire Xianyang already knew about it, but also many counties and counties.
In the streets and alleys, almost everyone who could see people was talking about this matter.
So Zhang Han couldn't sit still, and not long after the morning court ended, he went to Bieyuan to find Ying Feiyu.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zhang Han first bowed.
"Hey! Why is Zhang Shangshu here today?"
Ying Feiyu was really surprised by Zhang Han's arrival.
Although Bieyuan and Zhang's Mansion are only separated by one street, this old guy is still polite and won't come over easily.
But as long as you come, something will happen.
Most of the time, he came with the old guys.
The number of individual visits is really not that many!
"His Royal Highness, I won't show off any more. I'm here today not for personal matters, but for official matters!"
Zhang Han spoke straightforwardly.
"Business?"
Now Ying Feiyu was even more puzzled.
"That's right! It's for the telegraph!"
"I've left everything about the telegraph machine to Huang Yuan, just go find him!"
Ying Feiyu always stayed away from Qingjing and pushed everything to Huang Yuan.
It's up to him to choose the right person to take over!
Nothing ever goes wrong!
"I've been there, but Huang Yuan asked me to come find you!"
Zhang Han pursed his lips and suddenly felt like he had been kicked.
He was asked to go to the other side, but he was kicked back by the other side!
"Your Highness, once the news of the telegraph machine was sent out, the response from the people was very enthusiastic. They are waiting for this telegraph machine! So I went to Huang Yuan after leaving the morning meeting, wanting to inquire about the price of the telegraph machine, so that I could do some calculations. I have a rough idea of how much it will cost, but he said that he only cares about production here and he can't decide the price, so he sent me to you!"
Zhang Han had a wry smile on his face, feeling very helpless.
"It turns out it's because of the price...!"
Speaking of this, Ying Feiyu suddenly understood, "Didn't I, the Crown Prince, say so! The price will only be known after mass production! Zhang Shangshu can rest assured, the price will definitely not be too high!"
“You don’t need a very accurate price, just a rough idea!”
Zhang Han pursued him relentlessly.
"I don't know this yet! I haven't asked Huang Yuan yet!"
"His Royal Highness, I was not in a hurry at this price originally, but His Majesty said today that he would go to Mount Tai to be a Zen monk, which would cost a lot of money. In addition, there are still many odds and ends, so the Ministry of Household Affairs must make preparations in advance. , Don’t let the machine be produced but the money is not ready!”
Zhang Han spread his hands.
"Okay, then the prince will send someone to ask and give an approximate number!"
In desperation, Ying Feiyu had no choice but to agree.
Ask for a price earlier, so you can get rid of this old thing earlier.
Otherwise, even if you leave today, you will have to come back and ask in a few days!
"Hehe! Thank you so much, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zhang Han smiled shamelessly, and the folds he piled up looked even darker in the sunlight.
Ying Feiyu was really puzzled, how could men in this era be so dark?
If ordinary people work hard every day, he can understand the black spots.
But the officials in the court, big and small, go to court and go to court every day, so why are they so dark?
I almost dropped it and couldn't find it!
When the system boss can give me a few bottles of sunscreen, liquid foundation and the like, I guess the sales will be good!
After exchanging a few words with the servant in the mansion, the servant nodded, then rode a fast horse and bolted out of the mansion!
Needless to say, in many cases, this horse is more practical!
And the biggest role of the steam car is to show off!
If there is a real emergency, just lighting a fire and boiling water can kill someone!
When we arrived at the place, the daylilies were cold!
What he looks forward to most now is that Huang Yuan can develop the internal combustion engine as soon as possible.
At that time, cars can be mass-produced.
How cool it would be to use it and go with it!
Next, the two talked a lot about the private installation of telegraph machines. Zhang Han nodded repeatedly, feeling that there was a lot of room for making money with telegraph machines!
After about an hour, the servant came back on horseback!
There is no way, the place where Ying Feiyu lives is the center of the entire Xianyang City, and it is also the most prosperous place in the entire Xianyang.
Most of the factories are built outside the city.
And Huang Yuan, like Ying Feiyu, is a divine dragon that sees its head but never its tail.
Maybe you are still in this factory one moment, and you may be in another factory the next moment.
It really takes some effort to take the initiative to find him!
Even if it is found, Huang Yuan should be given some time to calculate the cost.
An hour is actually quite fast!
"came back?"
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Zhang Han's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yeah! It should be!"
Ying Feiyu nodded and walked towards the door.
As expected, it was the servant who had just been sent out.
At this time, he was running towards them sweating profusely, "See His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Have you found out the result?"
"Go back to Your Highness, Prince Huang, this is what Huang Shaojian asked me to pass on to you!"
The servant quickly took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Ying Feiyu.
"Um!"
Ying Feiyu took it and unfolded it to take a look.
The dense records above are all the parts used in the telegraph machine, as well as the price of each part.
Finally, I made a summary and marked that it did not include labor costs, and also gave an approximate price for labor costs!
I have to say that Huang Yuan is really careful in his work.
Ying Feiyu also secretly admired his vision.
There were tens of millions of craftsmen in Da Qin, and he chose Huang Yuan at a glance.
"What does it say here?"
Seeing Ying Feiyu's gradually smiling smile, Zhang Han was very curious and stood on his toes, trying to take a peek.
But the more anxious he became, the less Ying Feiyu showed it to him. Instead, he put away the note and showed a sly smile, "What is the price Huang Yuan gave...?"
After a slight pause, Ying Feiyu stretched out a finger, ready to whet his appetite.
"How much is it? Ten thousand gold?"
Zhang Han's eyes lit up.
Mass production of telegraph machines had just begun, and people were already looking forward to it.
If it is produced and put into use, it will definitely be popular!
The original tractor cost five thousand gold, and it would take only a few years to pay it back.
The common people's expectations for telegraph machines are far greater than for steam tractors. I believe that within three years, they will be able to make back their money!
"No, no, no!"
Ying Feiyu shook his fingers and said with a smile.
"Not 10,000 gold? Could it be that we need another one million gold...?"
Zhang Han almost dropped his jaw in shock, "Your Highness, although this telegraph machine is good, the price is too high. Just two small boxes cost one million. How much will it cost to spread it throughout the Qin Dynasty? ? In which life can I get my money back?"
"No, no, no!"
However, Ying Feiyu still shook his head.
He just wanted to see the old miser looking distressed.
Sure enough, this old guy thought the telegraph machine cost one million gold, and he was so distressed that he almost cried!
He was confused, how much money was spent was from the imperial court, so why was this old guy so worried about it?
"Not right?"
This time, a string of unimaginable numbers appeared in Zhang Han's mind.
It can’t be 10 million gold, right?
Let alone arrange it for the private sector, not even the imperial court can afford it!
It would be better to use a fast horse to deliver the letter!
