In order to promote kimchi as soon as possible, Han Zhan ordered people to give the prepared kimchi to civil and military officials in Jizhou and some close-know ministers in the court. In less than half a month, the way of making kimchi in the southern part spread in Yedu City. Whether it was the court officials or ordinary people, they were learning to make kimchi.

The prosperity of the kimchi industry in Yedu City was the most benefited from the boss of Shaopinxuan. There were endless officials and nobles who came to his store to customize kimchi jars, which left his family idle for a long time. There were fires every day. More than a dozen kiln workers were specially recruited to burn them day and night, but the supply was still in short supply.

Boss Shaopinxuan, who had gained the benefits, also specially worshiped Han Zhan’s tablet of immortality at home. He would worship his family sooner or later, begging God to make Han Zhan live a hundred years old so that he can bless his business.

Han Zhan had no idea that Boss Shaopinxuan had offered his immortal tablet at home. He was considering how to use long-distance communication.

Just as he was thinking, Rob came in and reported: "Report to the lord, the military advisor asked for a meeting!"

Guo Jia now regards Han Zhan’s prefecture as his home, not only to watch Huangmei opera every day, but also to eat free meals. Not only that, Han Zhan is the most powerful person on the ground in Jizhou. People who come to please him every day are lined up outside, and the food they deliver are even more dazzling. Guo Jia comes here to taste unexpected delicacies at any time.

Seeing Guo Jia enter the door, Han Zhan suddenly asked in a daze: "Fengxiao, I asked you, is there any way to send back messages thousands of miles away in the shortest time, or send messages here?"

Guo Jia thought for a while and replied: "If you want to go back to your lord, you can use a carrier pigeon. The message from thousands of miles away can be transmitted back within two days at most!"

"No, it's too slow." Han Zhan shook his head and said, "The carrier pigeon is actually the most unreliable. You may get lost in the middle or be hunted by natural enemies, which will miss the big thing."

"Then we can send a message through the inn." Seeing that Han Zhan had denied his statement, Guo Jia continued to say after a brief thought: "Six hundred miles are expedited, and you can receive information thousands of miles away within two days."

"Not even, it's still too slow." But Han Zhan continued to shake his head after hearing this: "We receive the information here and feedback it will take as soon as four days. If it's a foreigner from the north, it will take two or three days to get the message, which is too slow."

"Lord," Han Zhan's words confused Guo Jia: "If a foreign race attacks, the border guards can report the news through the beacon tower. Even if it is a thousand miles away, at most one or two hours, we can get the information here."

"When seeing the beacon fire in the distance, we can only know that there are enemies coming. But we still cannot know in time how many enemies are coming and where they entered the pass..." Han Zhan said this, and suddenly his mind flashed, and he suddenly thought of a way of transmission similar to the beacon fire tower. He slapped the table hard and said excitedly: "Military advisor, he really woke up the dreamer. This marquis knows how to contact thousands of miles away in the shortest time."

Seeing Guo Jia's confused look, Han Zhan said proudly: "Military advisor, if I told you that there is a way to get information thousands of miles away within two incense sticks, would you believe it?"

"You can know what is thousands of miles away in just two incense sticks?" Guo Jia asked carefully when he heard Han Zhan say this: "Master, is it talking about the message transmission of thousands of miles? But only capable people and strangers can do this kind of thing, and ordinary people still cannot do it. Do you need to send someone to visit such powerful strangers?"

"Who said that we must be a talented man, even ordinary people can do it." Seeing Guo Jia's half-believing and half-doubted look, Han Zhan said to him: "We build a high platform every other mile on the high ground, and place a soldier who speaks flags on it. We send a special person to turn the message into a flagstone and pass it to the soldiers on the high platform a mile away. After the soldiers saw the flagstone, they sent the same flagstone to the soldiers on the next high platform. And so on, the message we want to send is quickly spread to the distance through the flagstones of the soldiers on the high platform."

After hearing Han Zhan's introduction, Guo Jia showed a shocked expression on his face: "Lord, you are such a genius. You can come up with such a wonderful way. You must know that the beacon tower can only serve as a warning, but the lord's method can transmit accurate information thousands of miles away in the shortest time. It is simply wonderful."

Speaking of this, Guo Jia stood up and said respectfully to Han Zhan: "If the lord is trusting his subordinates, he can hand over this matter to his subordinates. He must build a platform that leads thousands of miles away within two months."

"In order to ensure the accuracy of the information," Han Zhan saw that Guo Jia was willing to take the initiative to take the initiative to take the responsibility, but did not object, but explained his work to him: "The interval between the messaging platforms cannot exceed one mile, so that the soldiers on the platform can see the flag words from the previous platform and accurately pass them to the next platform."

"Then how many soldiers should be deployed on each platform?"

"One high platform, three people are enough." Han Zhan replied: "If you encounter any uneven areas, at least one or more personnel must be equipped in the high platform to avoid being unable to resist when attacked."

Guo Jia understood Han Zhan's meaning. It would be enough for each platform to have three people. But if there are new places such as Qingzhou, the people's hearts are not stable enough. If there are only three people in each platform, once it is attacked, it will probably be wiped out in an instant. He quickly replied: "Please rest assured, lord, my subordinates will definitely do this."

"Fengxiao," Han Zhan continued to remind: "It is the cold winter month and the slack season. When building high platforms, people can be recruited to do it. Remember to give them more money and food. Only when they have food in their stomachs can they work harder."

"My lord, please rest assured," Guo Jia replied quickly, "not only in Jizhou or Qingzhou, but in the winter, many people will have problems with their livelihoods. I want to earn more money to supplement their family income. If I know that the lord is willing to pay for money and grain to recruit people to build high platforms, I think there will definitely be many people rushing to do this."

Han Zhan was quite happy to learn that there would be many people coming to participate in the construction of the platform. He continued: "Build the platform to Qingzhou first. Not only does it mean that it is a new place to collect people. The people's hearts are unstable, and there are also some officials who are incompatible with us. Therefore, it is very important to understand the information there in time.
