Meng Yi came here happily, just waiting to see the shocked and envious expressions of a few old guys. How could he let it go?
Just as he was about to take the initiative to speak out about his marriage to the Supreme Emperor, Mingde's voice suddenly sounded in the back hall, "Your Majesty is here!"
Hearing the sound, Baiguan quickly adjusted his stance to see if there was anything inappropriate in his clothes.
After confirming that there was no problem, Ying Feiyu had already sat on the dragon chair.
Meng Yi could only suppress his words and hold back what he wanted to show off for the time being. He would find a chance to talk about it later in court!
"If you have something to do, start the show, if nothing happens, leave the court!"
As soon as Ying Feiyu finished his routine words, many ministers took out the prepared memorials and prepared to present them.
Meng Yi looked around and immediately grimaced.
Usually few people come to play, and it won't take long for the morning court to be over.
But today, so many colleagues have prepared memorials.
Looking at this situation, it won’t be over until three or four hours!
"well!"
Meng Yi sighed helplessly.
It's better to say it as soon as you enter the door, so as not to feel uncomfortable holding it in now!
Fortunately, the matters reported by the ministers were all minor matters, except for the autumn harvest, which delayed a little more time.
Two hours later, the ministers prepared fewer and fewer memorials, and Meng Yi's eyes became brighter and brighter.
When the ministers have finished their business, His Majesty will definitely end the morning court immediately. At that time, he will take the initiative to talk to those old guys about the marriage and show off!
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly, and he laughed secretly!
After the last minister finished his speech, Meng Yi puffed out his chest again, waiting to go to Wang Ben and the others in high spirits when he left the court.
If it goes as expected, Ying Feiyu will ask everyone if they still have the original memorial. If not, he will retreat from the court!
"My dear friends, do you still have some skills?"
Sure enough, Ying Feiyu did ask, making Meng Yi even more proud.
From snickering to laughing openly!
None of the courtiers present spoke.
This means going to court immediately!
"Okay! Since everyone has nothing to announce, I have something to announce!"
"Um?"
Meng Yi thought that what Ying Feiyu wanted to say was that since there was nothing to do, he would leave the court.
I never expected that Your Majesty would still have something to do?
This surprised Meng Yi!
"I'm going to set up a fire brigade!"
Ying Feiyu calmed down his previous lazy expression, sat up straight on the dragon chair and sofa, and announced seriously.
"Fire brigade?"
"What is the fire brigade?"
"I don't know! I've never heard of it...!"
As soon as the words fell, only Wang Ben and others among the civil and military officials showed a proud smile on their faces and stood firmly in place.
The rest were all confused, looking at each other and shaking their heads!
Ying Feiyu once mentioned fire-proof clothing and fire brigade when he was in Taishan, so except for a few old guys, those ministers had never heard of this new term!
"The so-called fire brigade is a team specifically responsible for putting out fires...!"
Guessing that everyone was unfamiliar with this term, Ying Feiyu explained directly, "In the spring and autumn, when the weather is dry and the wind is strong, a few sparks can start a prairie fire! In order to avoid such a thing happened, so I decided to set up fire brigades in every county! Once a fire breaks out somewhere, the fire brigades can respond in time!"
"I see!"
After the courtiers understood, they nodded repeatedly.
"Your Majesty's move is indeed for the country and the people, but even if the soldiers organize this special team, they may not be able to arrive in time after a fire breaks out. It is very time-consuming to get the news back and forth! It is not as fast as neighbors helping each other. !”
Since the last time they were beaten, the censors have been quiet for a long time.
No matter what was discussed in the court, they kept silent and pretended not to hear!
I don’t know what happened today, but after hearing this move, Ding Cheng took the initiative to speak again!
But what I said was not that I was against it, but that I had doubts!
"It doesn't matter! I have ordered Young Master Heng to study the phone number. It will be successful in a short time. Wherever there is a fire, just call the fire brigade and tell the location clearly!"
After the phone research is successful, Ying Feiyu plans to install one in every village no matter how much it costs.
It can be used to transmit messages at ordinary times. Once a danger occurs somewhere, it can also be reported in time and responded to!
Especially for things like fires, even a minute's delay may cause serious consequences!
"Phone? Call?"
In Ying Feiyu's words, everyone caught another new word.
The meaning of Tinghua seems to be a communication tool, the kind that can be spoken directly.
It aroused the curiosity of all the officials!
"That's right! The telephone is similar to the telegraph, and the difference between the two is that the telegraph can transmit text, while the telephone can make direct calls!"
Now that this was mentioned, Ying Feiyu simply explained it.
"What? You can actually make a call directly?"
"No way? How could there be such a machine?"
"Why is it impossible? Can your Majesty still lie to us?"
"Exactly! When has His Majesty ever said empty words?"
"Isn't that just the Thousand Miles of Sound Transmission...?"
After hearing about the general function of the phone, the ministers were really shocked.
Only gods can do such a thing as transmitting sounds thousands of miles away, right?
On the other hand, Wang Bi and others looked calm and relaxed, without any shock.
Because they had heard about the phone call a long time ago, it was nothing new.
Meng Yi felt anxious as he heard the topic getting further and further away.
If we had to answer all the questions of these ministers in detail and explain the principles of the telephone, it would take a long time!
"Your Majesty has never said empty words. Since he said that he can build a machine that can transmit sounds thousands of miles away, he must be able to build it!"
In order to end this topic as soon as possible, Meng Yi spoke slightly anxiously.
"Yeah! That's right! From hot air balloons that can carry people to the sky, to trains that travel thousands of miles a day, and warships that ride on the wind and waves! We all find it incredible before each one is built, but in the end, aren't they all built?"
"Yep……!"
When the ministers heard what he said, they nodded in agreement.
"Even if the news of the fire can be delivered to the fire brigade in time, can the fire brigade put out the fire faster than ordinary people?"
Ding Cheng spoke up and asked.
"That's right! I have ordered Huang Yuan to lead people to build a fire truck! This truck is specially designed for fire extinguishing! Not only can it quickly arrive at the fire scene, but it can also store a large amount of water in the car. It can be sent to the fire scene through water pipes to start the fire. To quickly extinguish the fire!"
Ying Feiyu smiled calmly.
"Did you hear that? Using a truck to transport water is not much better than ordinary people pouring water from bucket to bucket?"
Meng Yi frowned and glanced at Ding Cheng angrily.
