Chapter 167: The Power of the Third Hand

The poles of the cable telegraph are easy to do, and after burying the wooden poles and brushing them with coal tar and tung oil, they can be effectively anti-corrosion, and some of the previous street lamp poles can also be borrowed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The problem of the wire is more complicated, after winding with coarse silk soaked in tung oil, and coated with lacquer to act as an insulator, during the test, the indoor can also be, and it is easy to be cracked by the sun outdoors.

The drawing of copper wire is easier than that of iron wire and the resistance is small, so at this time, they do not consider the cost and use copper wire uniformly.

At this time, the urban construction development on both sides of the Badao River was relatively balanced.

At the beginning, the main layout of Zhang Guoan Island will of course consider the issue of urban construction layout, and both sides of the strait have reserved space for future development, and the factory area, commercial area and residential area have been pre-laid out and designed.

There is even a street garden in the middle of the street, as well as a wide road.

The merchants of the Great Song Dynasty who lived here had to admire the development vision of Zhang Anguo, the owner of the island.

At the beginning, they all felt that the road left was too wide, and how could it be necessary to leave a road that was twenty feet wide every few blocks?!

However, with the development of the past few years, I have seen that the road of 20 zhang wide is becoming more and more applicable!

Sure enough, if you have a vision, even those street parks are very useful, and the traffic and people will not directly touch.

It turned out that the arrangement of Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, had always had his intentions------

So, when the poles began to be erected on both sides of the strait and two long black lines were pulled, everyone was talking about it, what was the use of this thing?

If it is used to dry objects, it is too high; If it is used as a towing rope between the two sides of the strait, it is too thin.

Soon the "Liuqiu Times" published a relevant report, which explained in detail the concept of "cable telegraph".

Of course, I didn't say much about the principle of the transceiver, but highlighted its usefulness!

My god, two long copper wires, can spread the news nearly two hundred miles away in an instant!

At present, it is only eight miles long, and it is only for teaching and learning------

At present, the passenger flow and logistics between the two banks of the Badao River are still only transported back and forth by barge, which is convenient because of the slow level of the river.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, plans to build a 300-meter-long viaduct in full force next year, and there is no rush now.

If the two sides of the strait want to carry letters, then large and small barges are needed to carry letters, because barges are always flowing, but they cannot be delayed for long.

But there's never a moment's notice.

When the telegraph and reception equipment on both sides of the strait was installed, the telegraph lines were also laid.

The training of the relevant newspaper receivers is being carried out in a closed environment, and many young men and women are practicing wrist skills.

However, the first cross-strait dispatch was completed by the families of Zhang Guoan and Wang Defa.

In fact, the content of the two people's telegrams is the same sentence: human beings are the sum of all natural forces!

It took two minutes for the two of them to type these twelve words, and when translating the message, it took another two minutes------ which made both of them blush a little.

However, a large number of onlookers of the Great Song Dynasty merchants------ they were specially invited, and their faces were also a little red, which was exciting!

If it is true that as the newspaper said, in the near future, even if it is thousands of miles away, it will not take an hour to get the news------ then this is a sharp weapon for doing business!

Someone cautiously asked Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, if he could go further.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said: "The immediate task is to reach a river area in the north of Liuqiu, and the next step is to implement it in the entire Shandong region!" ”

The man's eyes lit up, and it was very good!

He then asked, "Then why don't you get to the other side?!" Can you get to Thornton Castle!! ”

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, smiled, now, his rubber has just been planted in the Wenlai estuary area, and it will take at least seven years for mass production to be produced, while the production of eucommia rubber and silver gum chrysanthemum has just begun to increase, and it cannot be used on a large scale.

He thought for a moment and said: "When the time comes, we will use other methods to realize cross-strait communication, and we will not use wires!" ”

Everyone roared, my god, this is already magical, there is even another way to send the message----- that can only be the ear of the wind!

At present, from the one river area in the north of Liuqiu Island to the twelve rivers in the southernmost area, except for the original one river and eight rivers, new development actions have begun.

Timber and paddy fields are still in demand now, even if they have been reduced in price, but the demand is still eternal.

Of course, this development is still in the planning.

It is stipulated that whoever develops the island will own it, but it must be applied for in advance, and it must be according to the scope of the plan, and those who reclaim land indiscriminately will be punished.

Wang Defa's family was once worried, saying, "Do we want to set a ceiling?" If there are large households among the people of the Great Song Dynasty------ we will not be able to manage it! ”

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, smiled and said: "Fa Zai, you don't just have to bury your head in technical work------ if you can have a big family come to reclaim the huge amount, we can't ask for it!"

At that time, the manpower they brought and the materials needed to reclaim the wasteland were massive, and our industrial products had a greater sales------"

Wang Defa's family immediately understood that this was a use of the scissors difference in industry and agriculture, but it was the scissors difference in normal society.

Without agricultural development, a society would be in turmoil; Without industrial development, a society will stagnate!

However, there is a very simple truth in this, the profit of agricultural products is never as high as that of industrial products, even if it is only handicraft products, which is a very simple common sense.

Regardless of whether there is a bumper grain yield or a poor harvest, as long as grain prices are gently regulated, the sales of industrial products will increase.

Wang Defa said with relief: "We are operating with two hands, one is the hand that cannot be seen to promote the market, and the other is the hand of regulation and control in the overall situation!" ”

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, added with a smile: "Two hands are not enough, there must be a third hand------ not only to ensure a fair and just transaction process on the island, but also to install people in the government of the Great Song Dynasty, your father-in-law is a good choice!" ”

Wang Defa's family was stunned for a moment and said, "He still wants to be an official?" ”

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, shook his head again and again and said, "No." I think he will be useful, how to say that he also has a famous official in his family. ”

Luo Niang really didn't ask for her father to the quiet master's family, of course, she didn't ask her official Wang Defa, the two of them haven't been in a room alone until now, they are all busy.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, thought of it himself, and now they have a considerable number of collaborators in the army, but there are too few civilian officials, and they will have to find a way to cultivate an agent like Luo Yuan in the future.

The Great Song Dynasty government allowed officials to do business, and even openly sold official positions, so they could not be expected to have a clean officialdom!

The Great Song Dynasty government relied on corruption to govern the country, if it is not considered a liuqiu region, it is already the most advanced management method in this time and space, attracting many neighboring countries and regions to follow suit.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, smiled lightly and said: "As long as they dare to govern the country openly and corruptly, everyone will be easy to handle, but I am afraid that they will be corrupt secretly, but they will be honest on the surface, then it will not be easy to do------"

Wang Defa's family had previously climbed the telephone pole to demonstrate the installation of porcelain vases.

In the crowd of onlookers, Liang Xiao Bai Gongzi and his little guy were observing his buttocks when he climbed up the pole, and wanted to rush over several times and stab him hard, but he didn't dare, there were too many people around. (To be continued.) )
