Telegram technology was the earliest Western technology introduced in the Qing Dynasty. It was a product of the late industrial revolution and a huge revolution in communication technology by mankind!

From ancient times to the present, humans have fantasized about the transmission of messages from thousands of miles away, fantasizing that news can cross the distance between mountains and rivers and arrive instantly! Technology has finally achieved this, and this technology has also deeply changed the human world.

The Third Master of Qing Dynasty had been engaged in telegraph construction for several years. Now, unless the Qing Dynasty is in the southwest and northwest, and the sparsely populated remote areas in the far north, as long as the population is similar, it has ensured that all counties and towns have received telegraphs.

The area where the telegram line passes is connected everywhere, which provides great convenience for the court to rule locally!

But unfortunately, many conservative officials of the court still think that although this telegram is useful, it is not very useful.

Traditional concepts still rule people's hearts!

However, the heavy snow disaster in the Year of the Rat suddenly changed the views of all officials in the court on telegraph technology. Everyone looked at the bizarre disaster relief scene in front of them in surprise, and couldn't calm down for a long time!

If there were military satellites in this era, then humans could overlook our earth from space. The entire huge snow-hit area in the north was like God directly placing a pool of pure milk ice cream on the earth!

The mountains, rivers and earth are snow-white, and humans are as tiny as bacteria from such an angle!

But on this huge ice-cold snow field, there was a slight light flashing. The light was so weak that it could not be seen by ordinary people, but this light had profoundly changed the pattern of disaster.

In just one day, the huge frozen area was divided by telegram lines. The fine telegram network was connected to the grids of local areas. These most basic maintenance postmen suddenly became active electronics wandering in the disaster area!

In the morning, the Forbidden City issued an edict, and before noon, the telegram had already led to the disaster area. In the afternoon, many villages had already received news! In the evening, human fireworks suddenly appeared in the disaster area!

The closer the villages to the telegram network, the first one to survive. The firewood burning in the kitchen stove boiled pots of rice soup. The food not only saved people's lives, but also made those villages full of smoke and warmth!

Every household has a little light that reveals from the narrow windows and thresholds, which is the unyielding will of human beings still struggling to survive!

Villages emitting faint fire light are so clear and identifiable in the eyes of the gods!

It's bright! All the villages along the coast of the northern disaster area of ​​the Qing Dynasty have lit up. Although it's just a tiny glimmer of light, thousands of villages are connected together, which is a clear signal of the reversal of the disaster!

The officials of the court in the Middle Ages would never have thought that there would be such efficient administrative ruling methods in the world. There would be a miracle of being issued in the morning and a village could take action in the afternoon!

What a miracle! For the first time in thousands of years, the administrative system in China has exploded with such efficiency. Isn’t this a miracle?

The village along the telegram line lit up, and from space, it looked like bright orange bands, slicing the disaster area!

The area far away from the telegraph line is still pitch black, with no sign of human survival! No one can tell whether there will be one thousand people or ten thousand people who will die of cold and starvation on this cold winter night!

But it is foreseeable that if the electric light ignites a line, then a side will be ignited immediately!

Tomorrow, these villages that have regained vitality and popularity will surely continue to increase, and many people will join in the landlords and squire who know the news!

What a magical moment! The essence of Confucianism in China over the past thousand years actually caused a miracle in disaster at this moment with the help of advanced Western telegraph technology!

Confucian morality and people's hearts, and the success of the imperial examinations encouraged countless wealthy landlords and gentry to pick out food with the same lifeline to save the people!

However, these actions must rely on the Qing Dynasty Postal Bureau system of the Third Master Fuqing, the telegram network that was built over the years, and the maintenance postmen trained by the Third Master!

At this moment, these people completely bypassed the Qing Dynasty's local ruling system. They didn't need to issue documents to Baoding Prefecture, Baoding Prefecture issued an order to Cangzhou County, and then informed each village in each township!

What’s even more amazing is that the half-day relief has begun, and in the county towns blocked by ice and snow, the county magistrates have just received a telegram from the capital!

The county magistrate's yamen runners have not yet figured out how to inform the villages below and how to get benefits from the disaster relief. Unexpectedly, the villages below have already lit bonfires and smoke have risen!

It was overturned, this was a perfect and successful overturned operation! It was this emergency disaster relief operation that suddenly made many knowledgeable people in the Qing Dynasty realize it!

"So... it turns out that we can skip these decadent, backward, inefficient governments?"

"We can actually not rely on these local officials... and do a lot of things. It turns out that the so-called "officials" are not that important!"

This ray of lightning really shocked the hearts of the people at the bottom of the Qing Dynasty. When the people began to reflect, the society that was doomed to decline in traditional society has reached the end of his life!

But all these changes still take time! In the eyes of gods, a hundred years is just a moment, but for grassroots mortals, a grain of dust falling from the era of great change is also a mountain on their shoulders!

The snow that had been raging to the north for more than a month finally stopped. The sky was covered with stars and there was no cloud, but the wind was still very strong and the wind was still very cold!

In the dark village, the hungry people were hallucinating their eyes. They looked at the distant end of the crops outside the window, as if there was light!

"This... is the direction of Sunjiazhuang... am I going to die... How did I see the lights in Sunjiazhuang..."

"Haha... Grandpa and grandma are here to pick me up... so many delicious foods, grandma and grandma wait for me... Give me a steamed bun, I'm hungry... I'm hungry..."

The old man leaning against the window was already pale. He had not entered the water for several days and had already reached the moment when the oil was exhausted!

He has stopped eating anything since six days ago. His children and grandchildren respect themselves and think about the last bit of stick noodles for themselves, but how can he open his mouth?

That is the living food of my grandson! Maybe my grandson can survive this disaster with just this food!
Chapter completed!
