Chapter 738: Folk Telegraph Agency

After the morning session, the old guys excitedly rushed to various factories to look for the whereabouts of Xiao Zhengtai and Huang Yuan.

Unexpectedly, in the end, the bamboo basket was empty, and nothing was caught!

Especially Kang Anping, who took away 11,000 gold just because he cursed casually during the bidding, and now he feels regretful!

"I swear, if I curse anyone again, I will be a dog...!"

After Ying Zheng left, Kang Anping stretched out three fingers and swore to heaven.

However, in his desperation, he even forgot that he already included insulting words in his sentence, which made the old guys laugh!

"Why are you all laughing? Everything I said is true!"

Kang Anping himself had no idea.

"Yes, yes, yes, we all believe it is true. From now on we will call you Dog Shangshu!"

The veterans laughed unabashedly.

"Why? I didn't curse!"

Kang Anping scratched his neck and refused to accept it.

"Hahaha! Think about what you just said?"

The veterans reminded with a smile.

"What else can you say? Just say that if I curse people again, I will be a dog! But I didn't curse at all!"

"No, go ahead!"

"Further forward?"

Kang Anping tilted his head and thought for a while, muttering in a low voice, "What the hell...?"

It seemed that he remembered what he had just said, so he quickly covered his mouth!

He just swore like that to motivate himself not to say something he shouldn't say again, so as not to encounter something like today again and lose the money in his pocket for no reason!

But I didn't expect that in desperation, I still said dirty words.

"No, no, no, what I just said doesn't count. I'll say it again...!"

With that said, Kang Anping stretched out his finger again, ready to swear again.

"Okay, come on, we don't have time to watch you perform here!"

"That's right! You can recruit whatever you like, and we're not the ones paying for it anyway!"

"That's right! If this happened twice today, Kang Shangshu will have a long memory. It will definitely be more effective than swearing...!"

The old guys who didn't get the game console all took a dig at Kang Anping and planned to have some fun with him.

"Shut up now, you can't expect me to do well!"

"Come on, Kang Shangshu, take the money?"

Just when Kang Anping curled his lips and stared at the old guys angrily, Ying Feiyu stretched out his little hand and made a gesture of taking money at him.

"Ouch! Your Highness, isn't it just eleven thousand gold? Can I still default on my debt?"

"That's impossible to say!"

"Don't worry! If I really don't give it, won't you deduct it from next month's dividend?"

"That can't be done, one code will be the same!"

Ying Feiyu's little hand showed no intention of taking it back, just waiting for him to pay.

"Okay, okay, okay...!"

In desperation, Kang Anping stretched out his hand and groped in his arms, and after a moment he grabbed a handful of banknotes, "I came out in a hurry today, so I didn't bring so much. There is about two thousand gold coins here. Your Highness, take the rest first."

I’ll send someone to deliver it soon! Is it okay this time?”

“It’s okay if you barely do it!”

After receiving the banknotes, Ying Feiyu counted them in a very philistine manner, and even checked the authenticity of each one.

After confirming that there was no problem, he nodded.

"Huang Shaojian, is it really impossible to build this game console?"

Then, Feng Quji asked without giving up.

"really!"

Huang Yuan nodded firmly.

Whenever there is a glimmer of hope, he will take the craftsmen to give it a try.

But this time there is really no hope.

Da Qin’s technological means have not yet developed to that point!

"Alas...! What a pity!"

Feng Quji shook his head regretfully.

The price of game consoles has been driven up ridiculously by these guys. It's okay once in a while, but if you want to play it every day, it's absolutely impossible!

"By the way! Your Highness, when will the private business of this telegraph machine be launched?"

Disappointed eyes fell on the craftsmen who were busy at the other end of the workshop, and Feng Quji asked.

With the continuous expansion of the telegraph factory, the production volume is also gradually increasing. Governments in various counties and counties have already equipped telegraph machines. The next step should be the private sector!

When the people also have telegraph machines, it will definitely be another leap in development for Daqin!

"The produced telegraph machines have been sent to various places. It won't be long before telegraph offices everywhere can start operations!"

Mentioning this matter, Ying Feiyu's eyes also shone with light.

"Very good!"

The veterans came today, and although they didn't get the game console, they also got good news. After all, their efforts were not in vain.

About ten days later, firecrackers were hung in front of telegraph offices everywhere.

When the auspicious time comes, light it immediately!

The people who had been crowding in front of the door covered their ears and waited for the firecrackers to burn out.

Before that, there had been publicity in newspapers, so people were paying close attention to it, and they were all waiting for the telegraph office to open and send telegrams to their families far away!

"Crackling..."

In Xianyang City, the two streets in front of the telegraph office were crowded with people. It was impossible for cars and horses to pass through.

As soon as the sound of the cannons passed, people crowded into the telegraph office, and the threshold was almost blocked!

"Is it possible if I want to send a telegram to Jiaodong County?"

"Is it feasible in Nanhai County?"

"Is there a telegraph station set up over in Nanyang?"

"Can Xiongnu County be reached...?"

The telegraph agency in Xianyang was the largest. It had prepared fifty machines and hundreds of people working in it, but it still seemed not enough.

"Don't worry, everyone, as long as it's a county in Daqin, there will be a telegraph agency. No matter how far away it is, you can reach it!"

The clerk in the store was asked about his numb scalp, so he finally moved a bench, stood on it, and shouted loudly so that everyone could hear.

Otherwise, just explaining these things to them would make you lose your voice!

"Very good!"

After hearing this, the people smiled one after another.

After Da Qin encouraged immigration, many family members of the common people responded to the call and came to the immigration areas!

Due to difficulties in delivering letters, they may not receive a letter for a year or so.

After I settled in, I wrote a letter giving my specific address, but there was no news after that, and I don’t even know how my life was going!

Well now, the telegram will arrive instantly.

Even if you can't reach the village directly, you can at least reach the county, and then spread the news to the lower villages, which will be much faster!

"There is paper and pen at the door. Please write down your name, address and content first, and wait in line! In addition, our telegrams are paid per word, so what you should write should be as concise as possible!"

The guy stood on the stool and kept repeating.

The people were also very cooperative. After understanding the process, they immediately went to the door to get paper and pen, briefly wrote down the content, and waited patiently in line!
Chapter completed!
