Feng Qu went out of his way to quickly write the memorial and put it on Ying Zheng's desk.
After Ying Zheng saw the memorial, he was slightly startled, because the memorial was written with impassioned and upright justice, and demanded that the accounts of Shangjun Courtyard and the Feng family be reviewed as soon as possible.
It is also recommended to be quick and strict to prevent anyone from transferring assets.
This made Ying Zheng feel in a daze. For a moment, he even thought that his information was wrong. Could it be that Feng Quli was innocent?
But...it shouldn't be. The evidence is conclusive and it's a sure thing. There can't be anything wrong.
Ying Zheng shook his head and looked carefully at Feng Quili's memorial.
This memorial put forward several suggestions, such as how to get the accountant to Xianyang City as soon as possible. How to provide food and accommodation, and how to use these few days to organize a crash course in accounting as soon as possible to get started and improve efficiency.
To this end, Feng Quli was even willing to donate a sum of money.
After Ying Zheng read it, he nodded repeatedly. These suggestions are very wise. Can be used once.
It's just... Is Feng Quli crazy? Are you doing yourself a disservice by making these suggestions? What did he think?
However, Ying Zheng looked over and over and still couldn't see the problem.
Finally, Ying Zheng said to the young eunuch: "Go and do what he asked for."
The young eunuch responded and hurried away.
Ying Zheng sat on the throne a little tired, and said to himself: "I really thought about it and couldn't figure it out. What on earth is this Feng Quli going to do?"
With Mr. Feng's great help, the recruitment and training of accountants went very smoothly, much more smoothly than expected, and much more.
The audit has been going on for ten days, and so far, no evidence has been found that Shangjun Courtyard bribed Wang Wu.
Feng Quli took his time and thought that this must be a good cover-up by Shangjun Courtyard, so he wrote to Ying Zheng and asked for stricter inspection.
Ying Zheng naturally had no objection and ordered a strict investigation.
Feng Quli was very proud and kept waiting for a good show. Feng Jia and his son were extremely anxious.
The matter of their borrowing money cannot be covered by paper, and they will be discovered sooner or later.
In particular, Feng Quili has been conducting a strict investigation. By then, all the accounts of Shangjun Courtyard will be uncovered, and all suspicious accounts will be sent to the emperor's case.
Feng has mortgaged all his property. Your Majesty will definitely see this kind of account. At that time...
Feng Jia didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Feng Xiaojia also became an ant on the hot pot and said to Feng Jia: "Father, what should we do?"
Feng Jia said: "Don't panic, don't panic. Let me ask you, how did you do with the money you were asked to search for?"
Feng Xiaojia said: "Only a small part has been plundered. At most, it will make us a rich man."
Feng Jia sighed: "It's not enough, it's not enough. I have worked hard at Feng's all my life, am I just going to be a rich man?"
Feng Xiaojia said: "But the situation is urgent now, let's..."
Feng Jia thought for a while and said to Feng Xiaojia: "I'm asking you to find out where is the safest place to escape. Have you asked me?"
Feng Xiaojia said: "I have thought about it. Now that the Qin Dynasty has taken over the world, the only place we can go to is the barbarian country."
Feng Jia said: "But this barbarian country has been in danger recently."
Feng Xiaojia said: "The sky is big and the earth is big. If the Qin Dynasty takes over the barbarian country, we can just run farther away."
Feng Jia sighed: "Now, this is all we can do. You prepare the carriages and horses first, plan the route, and we will make money like crazy. As long as something goes wrong, we will leave Xianyang City within a quarter of an hour and Guanzhong within a day." We will reach the barbarian country within half a month."
Feng Jia nodded vigorously: "Father, don't worry, I understand everything."
Feng Jia added: "All money and gifts are always packed. Once our affairs are revealed, I am afraid we only have a quarter of an hour, and there will be absolutely no time to clean up."
Feng Xiaojia said: "I understand this too."
Feng Jia added: "There is no need to inform your mother about this. When the matter comes to an end, just pull her and leave. Go and tell her not to wander around these days. If you can't find someone at the moment, I won't wait. she."
Feng Xiaojia nodded slowly.
…………
Account audits are going on in full swing in Xianyang City.
As for Shangjun Courtyard, they are stepping up their research.
It's just that this time what Li Shui asked for was too groundbreaking, and the craftsmen made slow progress.
Although progress is slow, it is not no progress at all.
Xiangli Zhu moved all the information from the patent office and slowly opened it one by one, hoping to find information that could inspire his thinking.
While he was watching, suddenly a craftsman hurried in and said to Xiangli Zhu: "Miss Zhu, Miss Zhu, a big breakthrough, a big breakthrough."
Xianglizhu was immediately overjoyed, stood up abruptly, and asked, "What's the big breakthrough?"
The craftsman said: "We have mastered the method of simulating sound with electric current."
Xianglizhu asked quickly: "Really? Demonstrate it to me quickly."
The craftsman looked around a little embarrassed, and then said: "This place is too small, I think it would be better to find an open place."
Xianglizhu: "..."
It’s just a simulated sound, why bother finding an empty place?
Takuto coughed dryly and said: "Well... our research has just produced results, and we are not yet able to control the volume of the sound."
Xianglizhu frowned: "What does this mean? How loud can it be?"
Takuto said: "Anyway...it's pretty big."
They arrived at the martial arts arena of Shangjun Courtyard.
The martial arts field is what the craftsmen call it. In fact, the official name was given by the banished immortal and is called the Wind and Rain Playground.
Now in the middle of the martial arts arena, there is a shelf as high as one person, with a huge speaker placed on it.
After Xianglizhu saw it, he was slightly disappointed and said to the craftsman: "Isn't it just a trumpet? Why is it so fussy?"
Takuto said: "This thing looks like a trumpet, but actually...it's different."
Xianglizhu asked: "What's the difference?"
The craftsman said: "This is an electric horn."
Xianglizhu: "..."
The craftsman said excitedly: "We hope that the first sound of this electric horn will be made by Toyoda Hou."
Xianglizhu said helplessly: "Why do you, like Huaiguzi, like this form so much?"
The craftsmen said: "We think Ban Xian is right. Sometimes life needs some sense of ritual."
Xianglizhu said: "What did I say?"
The craftsmen said: "Say whatever you want, say whatever you want."
Xianglizhu walked to the loudspeaker, thought for a while, and sounded the first sound of the electric horn: "Hello."
The sound quickly spread throughout the entire Shangjun Courtyard.
The craftsmen guessed that the sound of the trumpet would be very loud, so they specially moved this thing to the martial arts arena, but they did not expect that the sound of the trumpet would be louder than expected.
Xianglizhu was startled and said to the craftsman beside him: "This..."
The craftsman smiled and said: "This is the power of the electric horn."
Xianglizhu nodded slowly and praised: "Good stuff, indeed good stuff. But, what is its principle?"
Takuto said: "When we speak, the size and tone of the voice will cause vibrations in the microphone, and the vibrations will cause the resistance to increase and decrease. The resistance determines the size of the current."
Xianglizhu nodded.
As the general person in charge of the research institute, Xiangli Zhu is considered an all-rounder and is very proficient in these matters.
The craftsman added: "When the current is conducted to the speaker, it will affect the coils and magnets here, and then form vibrations here, and a loud noise will be made."
Xianglizhu nodded slowly: "Yes, yes, you have found the right path. You have turned sound into electricity, and then turned electricity into sound."
The craftsman breathed a sigh of relief and said a little tiredly: "The next step is simple. The principle is already clear. The rest is a matter of craftsmanship. Reduce the size of the speaker and the sound, and then you can make a telegraph."
Xianglizhu nodded.
In fact, she has always had a doubt in her heart: Is it really appropriate to call this thing a telegram? Why do I always feel like it doesn’t match well?
…………
Thousands of miles away, in the barbarian country, Li Xin and Li Shui were basking in the sun.
Compared with the busyness in Xianyang City, the barbarian country that should have been in full swing, it can really be regarded as a quiet time.
Now the Qin people basically don't have to fight in person. The soldiers of the barbarian countries who surrendered took the initiative to overthrow the rule of Augustus.
Good news came frequently, but now Li Shui and Li Xin were too lazy to read it.
Anyway, it’s those words every time, how many people have we killed and how many cities have we occupied.
Li Shui squinted his eyes and said to Li Xin: "Brother Li, according to this calculation, in one or two months, the barbarian country will be defeated."
Li Xin hummed: "Yes, yes. In fact, we spend most of our time on the road."
"This barbarian country is too big. If they were more compact, we would have been able to go back a long time ago."
Li Shui hummed: "That's true."
Li Xin said: "Brother Huai, how about we go back early?"
Li Shui said, "Is this necessary?"
Li Xin said: "Isn't it necessary?"
Li Shui sighed quietly.
In fact, Li Shui and Li Xin are the two people who want to go back the most. After all, this battle was fought without any suspense.
Moreover, these two people are the only ones who haven't visited romantic places. It's really unbearable to be away for several months.
Li Shui said: "However, after we leave, the Qin soldiers have no leader. If the barbarian country takes the opportunity to attack..."
"If we win, that's fine. Once we fail, it will be a big sin. Aren't the two of us just derelict in our duties and returning to the army without permission?"
Li Xin said: "When will your telegraph that can transmit sounds thousands of miles be developed?"
Li Shui said: "How do I know? I have already handed it over to Shangjun Courtyard."
Li Xin said anxiously: "Now that it's time, you don't have to be pretentious. Can't you do it yourself? By then, both of us will be free. How great?"
Li Shui thought to himself: Do you think I don’t want to make it? The key is...I don't know how to do it either.
He coughed dryly and said calmly: "Brother Li, don't be anxious. Haste makes waste in this kind of thing."
"I can help them make it today, and I can help them make it tomorrow. But can I help them forever? It is better to teach a person how to fish than to teach him how to fish."
Li Xin: "..."
He said quietly: "I understand all the principles, but the key point is...don't you want to go back?"
Li Shui said: "For the future of Great Qin, I can bear it."
Li Xin: "...Really? Are you so noble?"
Li Shui sighed and said a little aggrievedly: "Brother Li, you still don't understand me well enough. I didn't expect to have such a deep misunderstanding of me. As the saying goes, it is not a gentleman to be ignorant but not stunned."
Li Xin said helplessly: "Are we going to bask in the sun here all the time?"
Li Shui thought for a while and said to Li Xin: "Actually, it will be a matter of time sooner or later for us to occupy the barbarian country. It will also be a matter of time sooner or later for us to govern the barbarian country. However, the barbarian country is far away from the Qin Dynasty. How to manage a place thousands of miles away? In the final analysis, we still need railways.”
"It is better to build this railway than not to build it. It is better to build it than to build it later. We might as well start building the railway now. Wherever the railway goes, it will directly become the territory of our Great Qin."
"When the railway is built here, we can go to Xianyang City and back in three or two days. So what difference does it make whether we go back or not?"
Li Xinxin looked at Li Shui with strange eyes.
Li Shui coughed dryly and said, "What are you looking at?"
Li Xin said: "I'm just curious. You could have commanded the war here remotely just by giving some random advice and asking them to send a telegram."
"Why do you want to build the railway with great fanfare, spending tens of thousands of gold and silver, and go back in this way? Isn't it too much trouble?"
Li Shui coughed dryly and said, "I said, I don't do the telegram myself because I want to promote Da Qin's technology."
"I built the railway to allow the Qin Dynasty to rule the barbarian country and kill two birds with one stone. How can this be the same thing?"
Li Xin said lightly: "Then... let me believe you."
So, after banishing the immortal, a messenger came to Beidi County and began to make plans to build the railway.
Now Northland County has become a railway foundry center.
There is a lot of coal here, a lot of iron here, and the best craftsmen in Da Qin.
Various components of the railway are continuously completed here and then laid in the direction of the barbarian country.
Every time a section is paved, a section is opened to traffic, which is overwhelming.
The area that the two sides had repeatedly fought over had no doubt belonged to Da Qin since the arrival of the railway.
Because Da Qin could rely on railways to quickly replenish soldiers and food.
…………
In Shangjun's courtyard, Xiangli Zhu looked at the letter from afar and slapped the table angrily: "It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others."
The craftsmen asked Xianglizhu tremblingly: "What happened? Isn't it a letter from an immortal?"
Xiangli Zhu raised the letter in his hand and said: "Huaiguzi said in the letter that in order to develop our intelligence, he deliberately did not disclose the method of making telegrams. Instead, he chose to build railways, which is a time-consuming, laborious and thankless method. .”
"Isn't this humiliating us? I order you to develop the telegraph before the railway is built and he returns to Xianyang City."
Each of these craftsmen looked ashamed, then nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Toyota, we will definitely live up to your trust."
