what happened? "

The two stared at each other, and then a student quickly ran to Qin Shubao's small courtyard and shouted, "Mr. Qin, I am the telegraph operator sent by the dean."

When Du Ruhui and the others watched the telegraph operator put on the earphones and kept pressing a lever-like thing with his left hand, and the telegraph made a ticking sound, they realized that this was not a direct conversation, it was used in this way.

Du Ruhui was impatient just now, and snatched the telegraph before he finished listening to the usage, and the telegraph operator couldn't catch up.

The first sentence Bai Fan sent to Du Ruhui was translated by the telegraph operator according to the code book: I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Old Du's face darkened when he heard the telegraph operator's report, isn't he talking about the embarrassing thing he just did?

"You elementary school student, why do you laugh at the old man? Bai Fan taught you." Du Ruhui was dissatisfied, and reprimanded the telegraph operator.

The telegraph operator immediately became Spartan, how dare he?

"No, Mr. Du, this is what the dean just said, and I received it by telegraph."

"Nonsense, I only hear the sound of ticking, where is Jane talking?"

Telegraph operator: "..."

After some explanations, the telegraph operator finally clarified the usage of the telegraph machine. Qin Shubao and the two were dubious, and Lao Du said: "I have a word to say, and you send it to me. I'll go to Jian Zhi's side and see if he can do it." Received this sentence.

Just send: I'll come to you right now! "

8 Chapter [-] The Magical Telegraph

Thanks to the close distance between the two telegraphs, Du Ruhui can do light work within the academy. If it is hundreds of miles away, I guarantee that he will not be in a hurry to verify the function of the telegraph by running.

Du Ruhui, who was walking like flying all the way, rushed to Bai Fan out of breath, and asked nervously: "How is it? Have you received it?"

Bai Fan smiled and handed over a note. Old Du saw that it was exactly what he said, and he burst out laughing excitedly.

"The magic of this thing, how far can it transmit sound?" After completely believing it, Lao Du returned to his original wisdom and shrewdness, and was already thinking about the application of the telegraph in the country.

After thinking for a while, Bai Fan replied: "Two such machines can transmit hundreds of miles to thousands of miles. This depends on the factors of mountains and plains. However, if some means are used to assist, they can transmit farther. Time is transmitted in stages, that is, one to another, so that it can be spread to every place in the world."

good good!

After saying hello three times, Lao Du waved his fist: "I'm going to tell His Majesty the good news. With this magical weapon, the imperial government's government orders can reach the whole country in half a day. It is a powerful tool for governing the country."

Bai Fan stopped Du Ruhui and said, "Old Du, I have some opinions on the use of this telegraph. I'm afraid His Majesty will strictly control the military. To be honest, I intend to let it be used by civilians."

This news poured Du Ruhui a basin of cold water, and after thinking for a moment, he began to persuade: "In short, no matter what your reasons are, I suggest you not to do this for the time being, after all, you just killed Changsun Shunde, and you are all guessing." If you don't deal with His Majesty, if you directly refute, not to mention winning or losing, the first thing is that His Majesty's prestige will be frustrated, which is not good for you."

Bai Fan is also speechless, these political people just go around too much, wouldn't it be better to be straightforward?

"Well, it's just that you, Old Du, persuaded me that this item is a must-have for the military, and it can greatly benefit the people when it is used in the civilian population. Now it seems that the common people need to wait, at least until the time when everything is settled."

Du Ru comforted Bai Fan with a dark smile, learned how to use the telegraph, and went straight to Chang'an with the code book and a telegraph.

In fact, when it comes to the relationship between the emperor and Bai Fan, logically speaking, Du Ruhui and others have basically received Bai Fan's favor, and they support Bai Fan more in their hearts, but everyone understands that when two tigers fight, there will be injuries.

The Tang Dynasty cannot be chaotic. If the emperor and Bai Fan have a fight, it will be the people of the Tang Dynasty who will be harmed. A fire at the city gate will cause Chi Yu. This civil and military official is Chi Yu.

The relationship between the emperor and Baifan is the relationship between the monarch and his ministers. This contradiction is similar to the contradiction between the monarch and his ministers in ancient times. It is the relationship between the monarchy and the prime minister. Since ancient times, the prime minister has great power and can overshadow the emperor. It is the tacit understanding of the court.

But Bai Fan is different in that he doesn't love power, and he doesn't take the initiative to fight for fame and fortune in his idle job. He is a person who is called out to make suggestions. The emperor is more at ease with such a relationship. At least on the surface, Bai Fan seems to have no ambitions .

If it weren't for Bai Fan's gang of beggars, the emperor would not have doubted him at all. Even if he was invincible all over the world, in the eyes of the emperor, he was just a martial artist, and he was no threat to him.

But this is only the emperor's generation, just like Li Jiancheng once considered, Bai Fan was alone in the past, but now Bai Fan has four sons, one day Bai Fan's sons will be interested in power, and even the throne.That's really hard to say, so the emperor's fear of Bai Fan will never disappear.

Du Ruhui rushed all the way to the palace to meet the emperor. Li Er was taking care of the children in the imperial garden, and it was the first time he saw Du Ruhui lose his composure.

"Keming, what are you? Have you dug up the treasure?" Li Er joked.

"Haha, Your Majesty, the treasure, the great treasure, is simply an artifact, Jian Jian just made it."

Du Ruhui said happily after setting up the telegraph on the stone table beside him.

"The artifact of thousands of miles of sound transmission, can your majesty imagine?"

"Oh? Seriously?" Li Er was startled.

"Of course, watch me demonstrate it to His Majesty.

Well, well, the red light is on, come on, Your Majesty, just say a word to Jian Jian. "Old Du finished everything, ready to put on the earphones and send the report.

Li Er was dubious, looked at Du Ruhui's serious face, and said to the telegraph: "I am Li Shimin, can you hear me?"

Du Ruhui: "..."

Li Er: "...?"

"What? Why is Keming looking at me like this? Why didn't anyone hear it?" Li Er looked puzzled.

Du Ruhui suppressed a smile, his stomach was shaking constantly, and his face was flushed. Isn't this scene just like the embarrassment he just had?Should I explain to His Majesty now?

"Ahem, Your Majesty misunderstood, this thing is called a telegraph, and that's how it's used..."

After some explanations, Li Er realized that he had made a big oolong, and after the embarrassment, he said seriously: "You tell this kid Jian Zhi to come to Chang'an immediately to discuss the matter of poppies. Then, if Tubo plots against us, how can we not retaliate in kind?" ?

The Tang Dynasty is surrounded by enemies, I don't want to be able to enslave the world, as long as this thing can reduce the casualties of our army. "

What he said was extremely upright, Du Ruhui admired him very much, and quickly sent a report to Bai Fan, saying that Jian Zhi had been hiding from His Majesty, it turned out to be a villain's heart, His Majesty is not a fool, but to reduce war losses.

Bai Fan looked at the received information and slapped his forehead. It's over, Lao Du has rebelled.

After thinking for a while, Bai Fan replied: "The poison of poppy is infinitely harmful and kills people invisible, so it is a hundred times more cruel than Hongtianlei when used in war.

Therefore, this thing can only be destroyed and cannot be used. The way of Tubo is not the right way. One day when the Tang Dynasty's heavenly army arrives in Japan, I will be the first to go to the table to destroy the poppies. "

Li Er looked at Du Ruhui's translated words, laughed at himself, and said, "I knew this kid was stubborn. In Chang'an, I couldn't go to his house to block the door. Now it's a hundred miles away, what can I do with him?"

Du Ruhui smiled and said: "Your Majesty, let's first consider this telegraph that transmits sound for thousands of miles. This thing is used well, and it is enough to serve as an army."

The two were studying the function of the telegraph in the imperial garden. A fast horse of [-] miles entered Chang'an. Soon after, the servant Gao hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, the Southwest Commander Li has an urgent military report."

Li Er hastily disassembled it and inspected it carefully, and snorted angrily after reading it: "How dare you, Tubo, dare to take my city of Tang Dynasty as a hub? Do you think you can be presumptuous just by relying on thunder?

The same goes for Maogong, did he lose his spirit after being a commander in chief?Isn't it the same as fighting when there is no Thunderbolt?Now why are people afraid of wolves and tigers in front and back, fearing that they will die one by one.

How can there be no bloodshed in war?If all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty cherished their lives, how could they talk about protecting their families and the country?Where is the dignity of Datang?Where is Datang Tianwei? "

Chapter 8 and Eleven Southwest Military Daily

Li Er scolded his head and covered his face, although he was talking about the commander-in-chief Li Ji, but Li Ji was thousands of miles away, and there was only Du Ruhui here, so Du Ruhui became the one being scolded.
