Chapter 735: Battery
A few days after taking Huashi City, Cao Shen came to join them with supplies.
After sending a telegram to Xianyang to report the battle situation, he divided the army into twenty squads and swept across the entire Mauryan Dynasty!
Before, I didn't dare to disperse the troops because I was afraid of the Maurya Dynasty's elephant army!
If we knew that this elephant army was so vulnerable, the troops would have been dispersed early, and the war would probably be over by now!
The main force of the Mauryan Dynasty has been defeated, and the rest are scattered troops from various tribes who dare not resist at all.
After seeing the Qin army, he immediately raised his hands and surrendered!
After Ying Zheng saw the telegram sent by Han Xin, he smiled from ear to ear.
"Hahaha! King Nagara was so frightened that he went crazy?"
He really didn't expect that the Mauryan Dynasty's war would go so smoothly.
There were almost no obstacles, so they just bulldozed it all the way and captured King Jialuo alive!
Before this, the Maurya Dynasty was stronger than Qin.
With elite soldiers and generals, and the support of the elephant army, the territory continues to expand!
He never thought that one day he would be able to conquer the Maurya Dynasty!
Not only is the journey long, but also the strength of the Maurya Dynasty is feared!
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty!"
Civil and military officials from all over the court congratulated him in unison.
"Um……!"
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction and turned his head to praise Ying Feiyu. After all, the war went smoothly and he had an inseparable relationship with him.
However, when I glanced at it, I found that the boy's seat was empty!
At the beginning of the morning, there were soldiers coming to deliver the battle report, but they were only too happy to notice it!
Only now did I realize that this guy didn’t come!
"Where is the prince? Where has the prince gone?"
Ying Zheng's old face suddenly dropped.
This kid is getting more and more outrageous now. The person who is about to take over the throne actually stopped coming to the court earlier because he couldn't say it?
"Back to Your Majesty! His Highness the Crown Prince said that Huang Yuan has almost finished his research on the battery of the game console, so he went to take a look!"
Seeing that His Majesty was about to get angry, Jing Fu who was beside him quickly came over, whispered in Ying Zheng's ear.
"Ahem...ah...it turns out it's about the telegraph machine! Then forget it! When His Royal Highness comes back, tell me that if anything like this happens again, you must tell me in advance!"
The game console was not suitable for serious business and was not suitable to be brought to the court, so Ying Zheng immediately found an excuse to put it off.
"yes!"
Jingfu also bowed in cooperation and stepped aside.
"Okay! Let's start something!"
After sharing the good news from the battlefield, Ying Zheng sat on the dragon throne and began to prepare to listen to the nonsense of these old guys.
Most of the time, there was a good harvest somewhere, and the people happily went home to bring food!
Others hope that the imperial court can allocate more steam tractors, as the existing ones of the cooperative are simply not enough!
All in all, they all say nice things, reporting good things but not bad things!
After more than an hour, the morning court ended. The ministers bowed their hands and bowed, and after Ying Zheng left, they also turned and left!
Wang Ben and others stood at the very back, so they naturally lined up at the back when going out, and walked out slowly.
"Hey, did you just hear what Jingfu said in His Majesty's ear?"
Kang Anping approached Zhang Han and others with a smile.
"Didn't His Majesty say that? His Royal Highness has left the palace to deal with the telegraph machine!"
Wang Ben didn't think much and blurted out bluntly.
"That's right! The telegraph has increased its production volume, and now every county and county government office has it. It seems that it will start to be laid out among the people!"
Meng Yi said while striding forward.
"Where is it! I'm relatively close, but that's not what I heard!"
Kang Anping immediately pouted.
"What? Didn't His Highness the Prince go to work on the telegraph machine?"
Zhang Han raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion.
Kang Anping nodded firmly.
"Then why did His Highness leave the palace so early?"
Several people blinked in confusion.
"From what Jing Fu said, it seems that Huang Yuan has already developed the battery for the game console!"
After leaving the hall, Kang Anping first looked up at his colleagues in front of him to make sure no one noticed them, then he came to their side and spoke quietly.
Your Majesty uses the telegraph machine as a cover in the main hall, so you can't be exposed to him here!
"What……?"
However, Wang Ben was so excited that he shouted directly.
Fortunately, Zhang Han next to him was quick and covered his mouth in one fell swoop.
But even so, several colleagues heard the noise and turned to check the situation, "Tongwuhou, are you okay?"
"Uh...it's okay...it's okay!"
After being glared at by Meng Yi and others, Wang Ben also reacted and quickly waved his hand.
"Lao Wang, can you change your habit of loud voice?"
Zhang Han kept rolling his eyes.
"I can't help it, I'm so excited!"
Wang Ben spread his hands.
In this era of scarce entertainment items, the allure of that game console completely surpasses that of a girl from a brothel!
"You can't shout when you're excited!"
"Okay, okay, okay, I won't shout! Lao Kang, are you sure you heard Jingfu talking about the game console?"
Several people blinked and turned their attention to Kang Anping.
"Yeah! It sounds like the tone!"
Since Jingfu deliberately lowered his voice and spoke into His Majesty's ear, he couldn't be 100% sure.
"Ouch! No matter what he is, let's just find an excuse and go find Huang Yuan, right?"
"Yes! Just go and take a look and you'll find out!"
Thinking of this, the veterans immediately quickened their pace and hurried out of the palace.
…
"Fried locusts, freshly fried locusts!"
"Locust powder, after removing the wings and legs, roasting over slow fire, can relieve cough and asthma, it has many effects!"
"Fresh locusts, freshly caught locusts, five cents a pound...!"
Ever since Ying Feiyu suggested that Da Jun solve the locust plague by eating, and let the veterans taste a handful of fried locusts, they immediately fell in love with this delicacy.
Not only do they eat it, but their families also eat it too.
The servants felt strange and secretly tasted a few locusts. They found that the taste was indeed unusual, so they also went to the fields to catch locusts!
After that, the news spread more and more widely, and a wave of locusts spread throughout Xianyang City!
No one had thought before that this little insect, which looks inconspicuous, could be so delicious. It can also be used as medicine to nourish the body.
As more and more people are captured, there will be fewer and fewer locusts in the city.
Then a group of people appeared and went to the mountains outside the city to catch locusts. After returning, they hawked them on the streets of Xianyang City!
Various restaurants have also introduced a new dish, fried locusts.
Not only is it simple to make, it is also deeply loved by the masses!
Drug stores also began to promote locust powder. Not only did they put up notices, but they also asked the store clerk to stand outside the door and shout!
Old people driving steam cars coming out of the palace, whether going home or going to other gardens, must pass through this section. They have become accustomed to hearing these shouts every day.
But it was the first time that businessmen and tourists from other places heard that locusts could be eaten, so they walked into the store curiously, wanting to try something new!
When I leave Xianyang, I always take some locust powder home, treating it as a specialty of Xianyang.
Therefore, after the news spread that locusts can be eaten, both the common people, pharmacies and restaurants all made a lot of money!
Chapter completed!
