The Empress’s Gigolo

Deploying telephones to millions of households is temporarily unrealistic.

Without him, the installation cost of the phone alone is not acceptable to ordinary people, let alone the monthly rental fee and communication fee.

The installation fee is fifty-two silvers, and one or two silvers are rented monthly, while the telephone fee is sixty wen every five minutes, and less than five minutes are counted as five minutes.

Ren Baqian knows that this is a trend, and this future is not far away, at most it is twenty or thirty years.

For the time being, however, the main target of the phone was the court and businessmen.

There is also a public telephone.

Ren Baqian plans to lay public telephones throughout the Dayao area, including Izumo and Tianjing, and use the coins of public telephones to recover copper coins.

As for the cables required for laying telephone lines, Ren Baqian also made a lot of preparations for this.

As early as a year ago, Ren Baqian introduced a new coin, a copper-clad steel alloy coin, with a par value equivalent to five copper coins.

Although countless steel rails are used to lay the railway, in the private sector, the price of steel is even higher than that of copper.

Coupled with the promulgation of a new decree, no one may refuse to accept the new currency, and the person being reported will be fined or whipped. Therefore, after a little confusion, this beautifully made new currency was carried forward.

Taking this opportunity, Ren Baqian recovered a large number of copper coins on the market and remelted them into cables.

However, there are still a large number of copper coins circulating in the market, and even as he recycles a large number of copper coins, the price of copper coins has increased.

In the next step, Ren Baqian prepared to replace copper coins on the market with aluminum-magnesium alloy coins through coin-operated telephones, replacing old coins with new ones.

There is no way, it is worse than iron deficiency, it is copper deficiency.

At present, the two largest copper mines are in Daxia, and they are in the north. Ren Baqian had no interest in Daxia, and the location of those two copper mines also determined that it was impossible for Dayao to send troops to directly occupy the copper mines.

As for Izumo's copper mine, the output is still insufficient for Ren Baqian's demand, and cable is currently the largest copper consumer.

Ren Baqian can only temporarily set his target on the copper coins on the market to relieve his urgency.

After demonstrating telephones to many ministers in the court, Ren Baqian first sent the adults to each of them for a telephone, including installation.

Of course, they still need to pay for the monthly rent and communication fees.

Later, at the suggestion of the emperor, the Ministry of Households ordered a thousand phones directly at the Royal Communications Company of 8,000, and all cities and most important departments in the entire Dayao area will be on the phone except Izumo.

As the Empress gave another order under Yun, each department in each city must install a telephone.

In fact, there is not much money. In total, there are more than 3,000 telephones and more than 100,000 silver.

But he pushed the phone directly in front of the world.

Through this incident, Ren Baqian felt that he and the emperor were the biggest example of collusion between the government and business.

Of course, the order just went down. Except for the figure of the household nodding on the spot, there was no response from the Izumo area. But no one would refute the empress's face in this matter.

And the importance of the phone is indeed unparalleled. The importance and significance are not inferior to the appearance of the tractor, or even greater.

Ren Baqian officially opened the corner of the communications era.

After demonstrating at Chaotang, Ren Baqian started to publicize the telephone line from Lancheng to Izumo.

At the same time, the personnel recruited from Tianjing Land are also undergoing intensive training.

After recruiting a large number of laborers to build a new city in Tianjing Land, Ren Baqian finally began to use the manpower in Tianjing Land.

Between Lancheng and Tianjing, Ren Baqian also built a new city.

The so-called new city is nothing more than a brick building and factory, not even a fence.

Of course, this is also the standard for the future city. Without the wall, it saves a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is easy to expand.

This new town is currently mainly responsible for the production of telephones, wires and telephone lines.

The rubber sent from here near Chen Guo saves seven or eight hundred miles compared with the one sent to Lancheng.

In addition, Ren Baqian is planning to plan a new factory near the southeastern capital of Hufu, specializing in processing rubber.

...

"Lanwu is heavy now, and the mountains are deep here.

The beach sounds are more urgent in autumn, and the gorge is overcast.

Wang Jiyun covered his eyes, nostalgic raindrop heart.

What will comfort you alone? Lai Beibeiqin. "

"Love is overwhelming with emotions; it's touching; the sentence is neat and natural! This poem doesn't know who it came from, and it deserves everyone's name!" In the restaurant, several scholars were seated around the table, and some people held a fan high and praise Road.

"It's true! It should be from the hand of Prince Zhao. He is not an ancient man. It is not surprising that he wrote such a poem in another country."

"His beauty is in her arms, her power is in her hands, I'm afraid she's happy!" Someone chuckled.

"Beauty is pregnant? This may not be the case. Is that Her Majesty ordinary Wenxiang nephrite?" Someone looked around and whispered.

"It's better to talk less about these things." The old man kept a steady eye on the surrounding road.

Discuss the emperor privately, if it gets in the ears of others, there will be great trouble immediately!

"I've heard that Prince Zhao is very good at heavenly craftsmanship, but he didn't expect him to be proficient in poetry!"

"The way of poetry is nothing more than cultivating temperament. It is not good for governing the country." Someone shook his head. "It's the phone. I don't know what you think?"

What everyone is talking about is a poem that has been circulating in the city recently.

And there is a sentence after this poem--

"Homesick? Call home!"

A poem, a sentence, brought the new thing of telephone directly to everyone.

The poem and the sentence are printed on a piece of paper, and there is a picture of the phone below.

The back of the paper is a brief introduction to the telephone and the locations of the Royal Telephone Offices in Izumo cities.

As soon as this advertising leaflet appeared, the whole Izumo detonated.

"It's incredible to be able to talk instantly with this thing thousands of miles away, and I don't know if it is true or false!" Someone said.

"It can't be fake. This thing has spread to Izumo. If it is false, then it becomes a laughingstock! Then why would Prince Zhao act so unwisely?"

"And it is said that the Chengling Government ordered the installation of the phone. It will take five to seven days to calculate the time. It will be known at that time."

"If it's exactly like the paper said, this phone call would be awful. No matter what happens in the future, Lancheng will immediately know that the order can be issued immediately, and it is terrible to think about it."

"You don't know." A young man whispered, "Do you think this kind of thing is there? Actually, it has been there for a long time. I heard my uncle said that there was a city order and an imperial court, and he went to the northeastern capital, but A reply came at a quarter of an hour! A few days later, the city order received exactly the same will. "

"Even if you don't say this, you can now study the movements of the troops in the Northeast Metropolis when fighting in the past few years ..."

"Don't say it!" Someone stopped him and said ~ www.readwn.com ~ It's useless to say more about this matter, I shouldn't wait for the discussion and be careful to invite misfortune! "

"Brother, you are too careful. As long as you are aware of this matter, you can stop the world ’s population from failing?" Said the scholar, disapproving.

"But this phone is also good for us. If you go out and travel in the future, it will be convenient to call home to ask about the recent situation."

"That's true!"

"Journeys haven't grown, but they still have to be sold to the emperor's house.

Now Izumo is gone, and the big exam is gone, I do n’t know where I am waiting for the way out! "Sighed.

As soon as this remark was made, the crowds quieted down immediately.
