With the gradual installation of telephones in the palaces of the various castle lords in Izumo, the hazy veil above this new thing has finally been lifted.
No limit to the distance, hundreds of miles, thousands of miles, you can talk at any time.
Can hear each other's voice clearly.
Even two city lords can use this thing to chat about family affairs.
There is no need to send people from various departments if there is anything to do, just make a phone call.
Soon, everything about the phone swept through Izumo like a storm.
No matter in the streets or alleys, whether in brothels or restaurants, there are people discussing the phone.
Coupled with the ad that says "I'm homesick, just make a phone call!"
Ren Baqian's reputation also rose accordingly, and the name "Tiangong" soon replaced the original "poison man" and "stinky king"
Ren Baqian was happy to hear this, and finally he didn't have to carry those two names all the time.
The poisonous man is fine, the name of the smelly king is passed to his ears through the Captain's Mansion from time to time, and every time it makes him feel inexplicably sad.
It was the feeling that I had become a bedbug crossing the street.
What followed was a large number of private orders.
Especially for those families and chambers of commerce, the high installation cost and monthly rent of the telephone are not a problem for them at all, and the benefits brought by timely communication are countless.
In just half a month, more than 40 royal communication stores all over Izumo received orders for more than 7,000 telephone installations, and a total of more than 40,000 telephones need to be installed.
On average, an order requires six phones to be installed, and many chambers of commerce and families have several cities within their range of activities, and each city has one installed.
This number is ten times the number of telephones installed in Dayao court and Izumo cities.
It can be seen that the people of Izumo are rich and prosperous, and the people of Izumo are enthusiastic about the telephone.
With Ren Baqian's current personnel, he can install more than 300 phones a day, and it will take more than three months to install more than 40,000 phones...
Coupled with the telephone installations in the cities in the south of Dayao and the Land of Sky View, they will be fully lined up within at least half a year.
Including those public telephones that are expected to cover the entire Dayao city, it is estimated that it will take a year at the shortest.
And one month later, Ren Baqian received a special request for phone installation.
"Your Highness, you won't even refuse such a small request, right? Don't forget that we are still... partners!" Qing Lian looked at Ren Baqian with a smile.
Well, she got the word partner from the book Ren Baqian got.
"You want me to lay the telephone lines to Daxia?" Ren Baqian said with a half-smile, "Do you know how much it costs to lay these cables alone?"
Qing Lian looked at Ren Baqian with a smile, and said slowly, "Your Highness calls that a telephone cable. Your Highness uses 20 pairs of telephone cables, and the consumable is 15.1 kilograms per kilometer, and the copper content is 51% , That is to say, 7.7 kilograms of copper and 7.4 kilograms of insulating materials are required for one kilometer.
It is 2,400 kilometers from Tiesuoguan to Xiaoyujing, and we need eight lines from Xiaoyujing to Longchuan, Jiangping, Qibei, Duyao, Shendong, Shenglong, Shengqing, and Wuluguan, with a total of six routes. One thousand three hundred kilometers.
Adding the previous 2,400 kilometers, a total of 8,700 kilometers.
And the weight of a copper coin is four grams to five grams, we will count it as five grams. One tael of silver is 1200 copper, equivalent to six kilograms. The price of rubber, I also made a little estimate, one kilogram does not exceed 100 copper, which is half of the copper price.
From this, it can be concluded that the cost of one kilometer is 2180 copper, not counting manpower.
Calculated on the basis of two taels of silver, the total is only 17,400 taels of silver.
We can offer two hundred thousand taels of silver.
Of course, I also know that these silvers are nothing in the eyes of His Highness, but Daxia has a vast area, and only His Highness has the technology of this telephone, and the whole Daxia will depend on His Highness in this aspect in the future.
These eight routes are just the beginning, or it can be said that His Royal Highness did it conveniently.
However, His Highness's easy-going actions are of great use to us! I am so grateful to His Highness! "
Ren Baqian looked at Qing Lian's confident face, and felt more and more pity, such a talent was too wasteful to fight and kill.
Scientific research should be her home.
The stars and sea should be her goal.
"You should continue studying at the academy!"
"Those sword masters, are they doing well with His Highness?" Qing Lian asked with a smile. "When it's over here, maybe I'll join them and join His Highness!"
"I really want to accept your favor for this matter! Don't forget it, you don't need to remind me!" Ren Baqian tapped on the copybook.
"It's not that I can't agree to you." Ren Baqian wondered whether he should take this opportunity to ask them to give a tax-free agreement to open a communication company in Daxia in the future.
Businessmen in this world have to pay taxes, and so do communication companies.
Especially after more than ten or twenty years, when everything is stable in Daxia, with the population base of Daxia, it may not be impossible for a few highly talented people to imitate and develop telephones and switches.
Not before, it's just that no one thought of it.
More than ten or twenty years is enough for them to research the principle based on real objects.
At that time, this agreement will give Royal Communications a great advantage in the market.
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't make much sense to have such small thoughts with these people.
This is not the earth, not the world where everything is tied to the economy.
The alien race outside the exiled land and exploring this world is my goal.
Qing Lian saw Ren Baqian thinking there, and after waiting for a while, she took the initiative to ask, "What else do you want, Your Highness?"
"Forget it, it's nothing. It's just that it won't work in a short period of time. There is not enough manpower. It will take a year!" Ren Baqian calculated the time in his mind.
"Although I don't know what Your Highness is thinking just now, but I think His Highness has given up a request that is beneficial to Your Highness. Qing Lian would like to thank Your Highness here!" Qing Lian's thoughts are exquisite and clear, and seeing Ren Baqian's expression, she probably guessed something, but I don't know the specifics.
"You!" Ren Baqian pointed at her: "Just know it in your heart, and don't act good if you get the advantage!"
Qing Lian chuckled, and said again: "I don't think the laying of the wiring is complicated, and we can complete most of it by ourselves. Your Highness only needs to send a few people to assist. Presumably, His Highness can still send out such people."
Ren Baqian once again felt that it was a pity for Qinglian to fight and kill with those rebels.
Even if such a talent is not sent to the research institute, he is still a capable person in the court!
Now among the few students in the academy that he is most interested in, none of them can compare to her in terms of knowledge or their thorough thinking.
Pity!
"That's how it is, I'll send ten people to assist you!" Ren Baqian nodded.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Qing Lian didn't show any joy at the success of her trip.
In fact, she never worried about it.
Therefore, after the negotiation was settled, Qing Lian said: "It was a business before, now the business is over, Qing Lian would like to congratulate His Highness and His Majesty the Emperor Dayao for their happy birthday!"
If it's someone else, it's natural to get closer before talking about business.
In Qinglian's mind, there was absolutely no need to do so.
"Qing Lian occasionally got several ancient scrolls these days, and this time I brought you a congratulatory gift as a little princess!"
Ren Baqian subconsciously said, "Did you dig someone's grave?"
Qing Lian covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "Your Majesty guesses right!"
