In the tent.
Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin continued to eat. They were almost full, but they just heard Li Zexuan say that they would increase their training volume tomorrow. Is this okay? The two of them immediately became more motivated to eat, and they seemed determined not to stop until they finished the food in the food boxes. They were not afraid of indigestion at all!
As for Li Zexuan, after pondering for a long time, he turned on the telegraph machine and sent another telegram.
"Didi didi~!"
Chang'an City, Prince Shu's Mansion.
Li Ke has moved out of the palace since he was canonized as the King of Shu a few months ago. In the past few days, he and Li Junxian have been busy building the Golden Guard for Yanhuang Bank. At this time, he had already had dinner. I had just showered and changed clothes, and was reading in the study when I suddenly heard a "didi" sound coming from the wooden box on the bookshelf next to me.
"Could it be that the mountain chief has sent a telegram?"
As a student of Yanhuang Academy, Li Ke is naturally very familiar with this "didi-dip" sound. When he went north to fight locusts, he was the one who managed the telegraph machine for Li Zexuan along the way. Now that Li Ke is in charge of Yanhuang Bank, Li Zexuan also assigned him a telegraph machine for daily communication needs.
In fact, with Li Zexuan's financial resources and the academy's current technology, it is possible to manufacture telegraph machines in large quantities. However, looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, the number of telegraph machines is only a handful, including one in the academy, one in the workshop, and one in the imperial palace. , one for Hou Fu, one for Li Tai, one for Li Ke and one for Li Zexuan. The reason why telegraph machines are not manufactured in large quantities is because it is not necessary and because there are too many telegraph machines for Li Zexuan, which will lead to the leakage of technical secrets. , after all, the difficulty of keeping secrets of seven telegraph machines is much lower than that of seventy telegraph machines!
However, if the imperial court needs a large number of telegraph machines, such as when the Tang Dynasty and the Turks are about to develop, with the technical foundation of Qiquge Workshop, it is fully capable of manufacturing dozens of telegraph machines in just a few days. For military communication needs!
In the study room of Prince Shu's Mansion, Li Ke quickly walked to the bookshelf, lifted the wooden box to the desk, took out the telegraph machine, and began to record the telegraph codes very skillfully.
"What a mountain leader!"
A moment later, after Li Ke confirmed the identity of the person on the other end of the telegraph machine, he suddenly became energetic and quickly replied with a string of telegraph codes to confirm his identity to Li Zexuan.
"Didi didi~!"
A moment later, the telegraph machine rang again, and this time the sound lasted for more than a quarter of an hour. Li Ke used a pencil to record two pages of telegraph codes on rice paper, and then the beeping sound of the telegraph machine gradually stopped.
Li Ke quickly took the code book from the bookshelf and began to translate the code sent by Li Zexuan.
He doesn't have the perverted memory of Li Zexuan, who can listen to the code and translate it in his mind at the same time.
"Xiao Ke, the national war is imminent. Yesterday I promised the Holy Emperor to summon all the merchants of the Tang Dynasty to raise military supplies for the country. But I am in the army now and it is inconvenient to travel. I can only entrust this matter to you! You go to my house tomorrow Go to your wife and ask for the seal of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce badge. Then go to Lin Wenyuan, a member of the Chamber of Commerce, and ask him to help you in the name of the president of our Chamber of Commerce!
In addition, you need to go to the editorial office of "Datang Daily" and ask Li Yu to publicize this matter in the "Datang Daily" in the past two days. Xiao Yu'er should know how to do it. Xiao Ke, you are talented and intelligent, I believe you will be able to fulfill your mission! In addition, you can only plan this matter secretly, and never come to the stage or show your face! "
After about half a cup of tea, Li Ke breathed a long sigh of relief. He finally finished translating. Looking at the content on the rice paper, Li Ke fell into deep thought.
Generally speaking, the content of the telegram is very short, just a few words, but Li Zexuan's telegram was very long. Li Ke learned a lot of information from it, but the last sentence of the telegram puzzled him.
"You can only plan secretly, not in public!"
Li Ke murmured to himself in a low voice. Considering that Li Zexuan was still waiting for his reply on the other end of the telegraph machine, Li Ke quickly came to his senses, controlled the telegraph machine, and sent a string of codes: "Don't worry, Commander, Ke I will certainly live up to the mountain chief’s trust!”
On the other side, the Xuanjia Army camp.
After receiving the telegram from Li Ke, a trace of relief flashed across Li Zexuan's face.
The reason why this matter was entrusted to Li Ke is that firstly, Li Ke is currently in charge of Yanhuang Bank, and the people who have the most contact with the bank are merchants. Li Ke knows the affairs of merchants very well; secondly, Li Ke Ke is a smart man and is good at adapting to changes. This can be seen from his performance on the way north to exterminate locusts. Therefore, when it comes to calling on businessmen to raise military resources, Li Ke is considered the second most suitable candidate (the first most suitable candidate). The person must be Li Zexuan, but he can't get out now. The Xuanjia Army started closed training more than half a month ago)!
As for why Li Ke is only allowed to plan in secret and not exposed to the public, this is entirely for Li Ke's sake! Yesterday, when Li Er heard Li Zexuan calling on businessmen to raise military resources for the country, his first reaction was shame. The majestic emperor actually competed with businessmen for profit. Li Er felt that he had nowhere to show his face, so Li Er finally let Li Zexuan Come forward to promote this matter!
This is also the reason why Li Zexuan did not let Li Ke show up in this matter. He did not want people from the royal family to openly participate in this matter, otherwise it would violate Li Er's original intention!
Since he agreed to Li Er's matter, Li Zexuan will try his best to handle it well!
Standing up and putting away the telegraph machine, Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin were already lying on the couch. They didn't really want to know who Li Zexuan was sending a telegraph to just now. They were only concerned about whether they could persist in tomorrow's training. And will you have enough to eat tomorrow
"Hey? Xiaoxuan, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Seeing that Li Zexuan put away the telegraph machine and returned to his desk without intending to sleep, Cheng Chumo couldn't help but ask.
Li Zexuan said calmly: "You two go to bed first, I'm not sleepy yet!"
After that, he took out the military book passed to him by Li Jing and continued to read it.
It's not that he's pretending, or that he's studious, but he's really not sleepy at the moment. He can't fall asleep even if he lies down, so he might as well read a book.
In addition, the training methods of the Wuzi Camp soldiers will be modified and changed tomorrow. Before that, he has to make some preparations.
"Oh! Then Baolin and I will go to bed first!"
Cheng Chu silently agreed and went to sleep on his side. He and Yuchi Baolin had been training all day today and were exhausted. Li Zexuan was not sleepy, but they were very sleepy at the moment.
Under these conditions, they wouldn't care if someone was reading a book next to them with candles lit!
After a while, snoring gradually started in the camp, and the two people gradually fell asleep. At this time, Li Zexuan took out a pen and paper and began to write quickly at his desk. The title of the content was - "Heavy Cavalry Drill Code"!
