Chapter 875: Thinking about the future when the market is booming
When a businessman uses a certain tool to make money, other businessmen will naturally focus on that thing.
A phone call that usually only lasts two minutes, but only five days later, businessmen from six prefectures started queuing up.
In fact, it does not reach 720 people per day in one place, and there is still waiting time. This is even if they call for two minutes at a time.
To put it bluntly, it takes an average of four minutes to have a normal call, and that counts as two minutes, so no extra charge will be made.
The calls to the six prefectures are made in pairs, with a maximum of three groups. However, Nanjing needs to be connected to other places, so it is basically a call to Nanjing.
"It's a good place to make money. You can make money by phone. According to Nanjing's calculation, you can earn about 360 guan a day.
We will add lines to provide more conveniences to Nanjing's residents. There are ready-made telephone poles, so let the industrial zone quickly get telephone lines.
Aren’t the current lines in groups of ten temporarily assigned to the five groups of the convenience department, so as not to delay our communication here? "
Zhu Yuanzhang came here when there were no festivals or holidays, and brought everyone in the harem with him.
And I came in the afternoon. It seems that I plan to stay one night and then tomorrow
"Zhu Lichang, we are here to see how everyone is preparing. We are leaving Nanjing soon. , otherwise it will be too late to bring the things over."
Empress Ma explained her intention. Obviously Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to express this emotion and found a reason for the phone line.
The telephone line does not need to go through Xiaqiu Village, it can be done in the industrial zone. There is only a manual exchange here in Xiaqiu Village.
"Don't worry, Queen, everything is ready. Let's adjust our physical condition now and leave the day after tomorrow."
The chief explained the situation and added his forty-four people, but the two Some of the ten people are no longer the ones they were before, but are now getting married.
As soon as they left, twenty members of the woman’s family came over to learn from them. When the team returned, they arranged the wedding together.
The people in my mother's family have agreed. In fact, it is from the village of Xuancheng County and the other two counties of Ningguo Prefecture.
It was easy in the village. No one cared about betrothal gifts and dowries. The four families in the other two counties were a little bit worse, so they returned to support them with some skills and necessary things.
For example, betrothal gifts, giving them large livestock, or the use of steam engine equipment several times a year.
There is also a department store there, and the gift includes a membership card for purchasing things. They can buy what they need themselves, which is the most affordable.
The traveling team included four princes, arranged in order of size: Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, Zhu Xi, two, three, four and five.
The most anxious one is Zhu Fan. His fiefdom is in Taiyuan Mansion. King Wu Zhu Ji does not want the current fiefdom at all. It is his hometown and his father is the King of Wu.
The people in the four mansions are also ready, soWaiting for the final arrangements in Xiaqiu Village to be finalized, everyone is on their way.
Theoretically, there is nothing wrong with the Crown Princess. She has already given birth to a child, and it was very easy to give birth again, unless there is a special disease.
"Okay, tell me everything you need, and provide enough guards. Four must pass by at a time."
Empress Ma felt sorry for her son. Before, the boss Zhu Biao went out, and everyone was on tenterhooks. , now there are four, all her biological children.
Zhu Yuanzhang had to say that this matter was "mainly a telegram. I have to report safety every day and tell the story."
We will arrange the phone calls ourselves, and we will make calls in one day. The cost is enough for us to cover a long distance.
As expected, once it comes to business matters, the thing is easy to use, and everyone accepts it.
I heard that it was the first one. The phone caller made two hundred guan, but there are still no lotus roots in the local area."
Zhu Yuanzhang began to talk about the important telephone situation these days, and merchants were buying and selling goods back and forth between these limited six prefectures.
The profits of each kind of goods are high at the beginning, and then return to normal, that is, shipping costs are added to protect the capital, and they can no longer be bought or sold.
Some businessmen are clever and ask people from the prefecture with telephones to go to the next state capital without telephones. They go back and forth for four days to inquire about information and buy things from the six state capitals, or... Send them over there to sell.
It takes an average of four minutes to earn a regular phone bill, and that’s just for a phone. Calculated on a regular basis, that’s more than 130,000 yuan a year.
As telephone lines spread farther and farther, coupled with wired telegraphs, telegraphs became cheaper, but it was impossible to speak directly directly.
It feels like one year’s phone and telegraph bills are higher than the imperial government’s treasury income, and there are more jobs for people.
"Your Majesty, when the time comes, we need to lower the phone bill and increase the number of manual exchanges. Our village will be unable to support it." The head of the village was ready to give this up.
“We still need our village to forward calls to the Imperial City, and we will arrange for people to call other places. Some secrets cannot be known to outsiders.
I guess some people will play tricks. Think about it, make up a code word or something, don’t let us catch you, otherwise"
Zhu Yuanzhang now thought about the communication problem between ministers. In the past, there were code words when writing letters, let alone typing. Called.
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Our village now has cryptography and specializes in this. It can be slightly improved in the next two or three years."
The village chief expressed his understanding and Support, because Hanhan said that Telegram has encrypted communication.
It may be used in the future. For example, some people responsible for sending telegrams have been bribed, and wireless ones can intercept them and directly translate the clear words.
Climb up the telegraph wire that is attached to the telephone wire and connect it to the telegraph machine to receive the message.
Telephone lines, if you know the situation, you can also call, and even deceive the people at the manual exchange to connect to other places.
Without manual switchingIf you connect a telephone to a telephone pole in both places, you can make calls.
In the future, better technology will be needed to encrypt this line, but it is not possible now because of the lack of parts.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded happily, "I'm sorry to trouble you again. I haven't eaten at noon. I don't know what they eat. Are there any skewers, girl?"
"We listen to Chongba." It is impossible for Empress Ma to veto Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Yes" the village head also nodded. There are all kinds of food in the village now. When the weather is hot, some people like to drink beer and eat skewers. The meat is always marinated, or is marinated. Continue to marinate the skewers, keep them chilled, and eat as you go.
Vegetables are readily available, including eggs and eggs. These must be cooked first, preferably in a high-pressure jar for braising, and then roasted to avoid bacterial infection.
It didn’t take long for the food to be delivered and Hanhan was grilled. There were no ministers, so it was easy.
Zhu Yuanzhang first ate a bunch of dried tofu rolls with ham, cucumber, shredded green onions and coriander, and then drank a swig of beer.
“Oh, I’m glad we are willing to come. In fact, it is to enjoy life. Since we can eat such things here, we have an idea of what people will eat in the future.
There is also a phone number , people are rich and can call the nearest manual exchange. How much does it cost per month and how long does it take to make a call?
Most people can’t think of this, but we can think of it, and I think it will be possible in the future. , Yes, Yichang said, lights and telephones upstairs and downstairs."
Zhu Yuanzhang expressed his thoughts. He just wanted to see what Xiaqiu Village could do.
Zhu Wentian had a silly smile on his face and wanted to say, no more, we don’t even need wired phones anymore, that’s not easy to use, satellite phones are the mainstream.
