Before building the communication platform, Han Zhan had a more important thing to do. He planned to submit a report to Emperor Xian of Han, appoint Tian Feng as the chief minister of Qingzhou, and assist Zang Hong in managing the newly regained Qingzhou.

However, before submitting the memorial, Han Zhan felt it was necessary to talk to Tian Feng to let him know his mission after going to Qingzhou. Therefore, as soon as Ju Su left, Han Zhan ordered Rob to ask Tian Feng to discuss matters in the mansion.

By chance, Tian Feng came to the mansion, and Xun Yu arrived immediately. He met Tian Feng at the door and asked in surprise: "Why is Yuan Hao here?"

"I have met the Chief Secretary." After Tian Feng saluted Xun Yu, he replied respectfully: "The Lord Lord Guard Luo came to summon the lower officials and said that there was something important to discuss, so the lower officials rushed over."

"It just so happens that I have important things to pay my respects to my lord immediately." Since I had arrived at the gate of the mansion, Xun Yu did not continue to ask questions, but said to Tian Feng: "Let me go to see my lord together."

The two of them came to the main hall and saw Han Zhan sitting here reading a book. They stepped forward and bowed: "I have seen the lord!"

"Changshi, Yuan Hao, you are here!" Han Zhan put down the book in his hand, stood up and greeted the two of them politely: "Come on, please sit down."

After Xun Yu and Tian Feng sat down from side to side, Xun Yu took the lead and asked: "Lord, I heard that you are planning to build a large-scale construction and build a beacon tower. I wonder if this is the case?"

"This is indeed the case." Han Zhan did not hide it, nodded, and replied, "I wonder what the Chief Secretary has to do with him?"

"Report to the lord," Xun Yu stood up and said, "If you want to build a beacon tower, one can be built three or five miles away, you can transmit the fireworks signal. But now, the lord ordered people to build a high platform every other miles. Doing so would be too wasteful, right?"

When Han Zhan heard Xun Yu say this, he didn't explain the reason, but asked, "Does the Chief Secretary think that this marquis is too much money and food to build a high platform like this?"

"That's right." Xun Yu said politely: "If you build a high platform every other mile, no matter how simple it is, the money and food consumed will cost twice or even several times more than the food and food construction every three or five miles. By the time the beacon tower is repaired, it will almost be the season for spring sowing. By then, the people are exhausted, which may affect the farming work of the People's Year."

"Sir, since you have mentioned the beacon tower, I will talk about it in detail to you." The two people in front of me were considered their confidants. Han Zhan thought it was necessary to let them understand the significance of building the communication platform, so he explained patiently: "Tell me first, what is the beacon tower?"

Xun Yu was stunned and thought to himself that you were preparing to build a beacon tower, how could you not know what the beacon tower is? But with his understanding of Han Zhan, he knew that his nephew would not ask this question for no reason, and quickly answered truthfully: "Beacon tower is also called beacon tower, commonly known as beacon tower, sydun, and pier. It is a high platform used to ignite fireworks to convey important news. As an important military defense facility, it is built to prevent foreign enemies from invading. Once an enemy situation occurs, smoke will be applied during the day, ignite at night, and the platform will be connected to the station and send messages. This is the most effective way of message delivery today."

"The Chief Secretary is right. The beacon tower is used for sending out warnings." Han Zhan nodded first, and then continued to ask: "But I want to ask, once you see the beacon smoke rising, how do you know where the enemy is coming and how large is it?"

"Well..." Han Zhan's question stopped Xun Yu. He thought for a long time before speaking: "If you go back to your lord, you usually send out a place of beacon fire. Within a few days, you will get a quick horse reward..."

"Sir, if there is an invasion of foreign tribes on the border, even if the border guards send people to deliver letters day and night, it may take us at the earliest two or three days to figure out where the invading enemy came from and how large it is." Han Zhan said seriously: "If we can shorten the time for obtaining intelligence from two or three days to one or two hours, will we have more time to prepare for war?"

"Lord, it's impossible to shorten the two or three days to one or two hours." Tian Feng, who was standing by, couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Even if you use Fei Ge to pass on the letter, it may take a day before we have the opportunity to figure out what's happening in the border."

"Yuan Hao," Han Zhan turned his head and looked at Tian Feng, and said with a smile: "If this marquis said that there was a way to shorten the time for obtaining border information from two or three days now to one or two hours, would you believe it?"

Tian Feng racked his brains for a while, then shook his head and replied with a wry smile: "Lord, it's not that my subordinates are disrespectful. This fact is incredible, and my subordinates can't believe it."

Tian Feng's reaction was already expected by Han Zhan. He smiled faintly and said: "The high platform that I am preparing to build now is called the beacon tower. It is just a hidden sight. It is actually a new type of communication platform. It can receive information from the border within one or two hours, or transmit information from the capital to the border."

Han Zhan's words aroused the curiosity of the two. Xun Yu and Tian Feng looked at each other and saw surprise in the other's eyes. Finally, Xun Yu asked: "Master, how did the new communication station you mentioned send the message to the border within one or two hours?"

Seeing that the two were interested in this matter, Han Zhan introduced the process of how to compile the information into a flag language, and then the signal soldiers passed it down one by one through the flag language, and introduced it in detail to the two. After the talk, he asked: "Do you have any different views on this method of marquis' transmission?"

Xun Yu and Tian Feng had never heard of Han Zhan's method of transcending the times before. When he was amazed at Han Zhan's innovation, he heard the other party's question and waved his hand and said: "The lord's method of transcending is indeed unheard of, but it is definitely more effective than beacon towers."

Tian Feng thought of Han Zhan's intentional call for him to enter the mansion and speculated that it might be related to the construction of the communication station, so he quickly volunteered: "Lord, if you trust your subordinates, if you trust your subordinates, you are willing to do your best to build the communication station."

Regarding Tian Feng's self-recommendation, Han Zhan just smiled and shook his head: "Yuan Hao, this marquis has handed over to Fengxiao and Gong and the two of you, so you don't have to worry about it."

When Tian Feng learned that Han Zhan was not going to let him supervise the construction of the communication station, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, so he could only turn the topic to what Han Zhan called for him: "Since the lord is not going to let his subordinates supervise the construction of the communication station, what's the matter with recruiting his subordinates to the mansion today?"

"Yuan Hao, I recruited you into the mansion today because I wanted you to go to Qingzhou to serve as the chief minister and assist Governor Zang in governing Qingzhou." Han Zhan was deeply afraid of Tian Feng's concerns, so he specifically emphasized: "Qingzhou is a new place of harvest. The people's hearts are unstable, and Yang Qi and others are hindering everywhere. Governor Zang is alone and unable to support it. I believe in your ability. With you to assist Governor Zang, I think it will take less than a year to manage Qingzhou in order and the people live and work in peace and contentment."
