"Since there is a way to solve the problem of the phone line, should you also tell me when the phone will be produced and installed for us?"

After talking for a long time, Ying Zheng had no patience and began to urge him.

"At least two or three months, and at most six months!"

I haven't asked Huang Yuan about it yet, this is the time that Ying Feiyu himself estimated.

Although the phone has been developed for a long time, with previous experience, it will be much simpler!

Pull a production line and it won’t take long to build it!

As for the production of telephone lines, it is the job of another factory.

If the raw materials are sufficient, the production speed will be very fast!

But now we need to use aluminum instead of copper.

The craftsmen of Daqin had never been exposed to these things before. From digging aluminum ore to producing, they might encounter some obstacles.

If you want to produce smoothly, you will need to be familiar with it for a while.

But even if it takes half a year, it will be almost the same!

Not to mention the installation of telephones on a large scale, at least it is no problem to satisfy the nobles in the city!

"Half a year? No, no, I want to use the phone as soon as possible!"

When Ying Zheng heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly.

The old guys didn't dare to say that, they could only blink and stare at him with envy!

"Even if the father is anxious, he has to wait for the phone to make it well, right? The craftsmen can't make it well, and the sons can't do anything about it!"

Ying Feiyu spread his hands and pretended to be helpless.

Before, maybe the scumbag father didn't believe that the phone could be made successfully, so he didn't even see that he had any expectations and had never urged him!

Now that the phone has just been tested, he can't wait to install it!

"As long as the phone is made, you will install it for me immediately! No matter whether you use copper wire or aluminum wire, you will be safe for me as soon as possible!"

"Father, even if the installation is done for you, no one else has started to install it. What's the use of asking for a phone call? Who should I call?"

Ying Feiyu shook his head helplessly.

"I, I, I!"

"Your Majesty, and I, we need to install the phone!"

"Yes, yes! After we have installed the phone, can we talk to each other...?"

Hearing this, the old guys quickly pointed at the tip of their noses and reminded Ying Feiyu, for fear that he would forget it.

"How many ministers also want to install the first batch of phones?"

"That's right!"

The old guys nodded repeatedly.

How could they miss such a cool thing?

"I can remind you first that the cost of installing a phone is not cheap, and it is not a one-time installation, and it will benefit you for life! Instead, you will have to pay money to the communications department every month in the future!"

Ying Feiyu looked slightly and said in front of him, so that he would save himself from cheating them after installing it.

"The telephone is the most advanced communication tool. It is understandable that the first batch of installations are a little more expensive! But why do you have to pay every month in the future?"

The old guys don't understand this.

"This is like electricity. Installation is the installation cost. Every time you use it in the future, you have to pay according to the amount of money! The communications department needs to maintain and upgrade the telephone and telephone lines, which costs money!"

Ying Feiyu explained briefly.

The old guys seemed to understand it and imagined the phone as electricity, "Does that mean that after we install it, we don't have to pay if we don't use it?"

"No, no, no! Even if you don't call once, you still have to pay!"

Ying Feiyu stretched out a finger and swung back and forth, denying the old people's ideas.

"How much do you have to pay?"

"The phone has just been tested successfully, and these more specific things have not been decided yet. It is estimated that the installation cost will not be less than 5,000 gold, and the subsequent monthly usage fee will not be less than 50 gold!"

Ying Feiyu made a simple estimate and said.

"What? The price is so high?"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng almost fell off his chin.

The old guys also think the price is too expensive, "It's really a bit too much! Just count as fifty gold per month, it's six hundred gold a year!"

Whether you use the phone or not, this part of the money must be spent.

"This is also impossible..."

Ying Feiyu was also very helpless, "The current used by the telephone line is different from that of normal household electricity, so you have to pull another wire, and the cost can be imagined!"

"Okay! Even if installing a phone requires a cost, why do you have to incur subsequent expenses?"

This is what puzzled Ying Zheng the most.

"I haven't said before that this part of the cost is used to collect, maintain and upgrade the communications!"

Ying Feiyu explained patiently.

"The price of installing a telephone is so high, how can ordinary people afford it? It may be difficult to popularize it!"

Ying Zheng frowned and said.

"You need to re-pull the wire in the early stage. When there are too many installations, the cost will definitely be reduced when you install it later! But even so, it is not something that ordinary people can afford!"

With the development of the Qin Dynasty to the present, ordinary people can ensure that the family can have food and clothing, let their children go to school, and let the elderly get sick, and they have no extra financial resources to support these unnecessary consumables.

"Will this fail the people's expectations?"

Once the news of the successful telephone test was released, it immediately caused a sensation among the people of Daqin.

Everyone is looking forward to becoming popular as soon as possible.

If one day I know that it is not something they can afford, wouldn’t I be disappointed?

"It does not mean that the people cannot afford to install it!"

Ying Feiyu shook his head and smiled indifferently.

"What does it mean, boy?"

Ying Zheng was puzzled.

If the people can't afford to install it, how can they use it?

Don't these two conflict?

"Dather really doesn't understand?"

Ying Feiyu thought the scumbag father was pretending.

He has been in Daqin for so many years and has created a lot of similar things. Even a fool should be able to see it, right?

"Can I still lie to you?"

Ying Zheng gave him a blank look.

"My father-in-law, do you understand?"

Ying Feiyu was too lazy to explain and directly focused on Wang Ben.

He doesn't have to find the ones who are the most sensible. He probably understands Wang Ben, who has always been honest and honest, and has the most straightforward mind!

"Uh... If the old minister is not wrong, does Your Majesty plan to rent out the people according to the tractor and telegraph model?"

After a moment of thinking, Wang Ben expressed his thoughts.

"That's right! That's what I mean..."

Ying Feiyu snapped his fingers immediately and gave him a positive look, "Although the installation and subsequent use of the phone are expensive, it can be rented out to the people! In this way, not only the lessors can make money, but also facilitate the people!"

"Haha! Why didn't I expect it? In this way, the people will only spend money when they need it, and when they don't need it, they don't have to bear high costs!"

Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"That's right! It's like a camera! It's really expensive as a private property, but if you open a photo studio, it will become a powerful tool for making money!"

Ying Feiyu gave another example.

"You guy is still thoughtful..."

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you. After you turn around and call, remember to install it for me first!"

"The second old minister!"

"The third one!"

"And there are ministers..."

Other veterans followed closely and raised their hands to sign up.

The price of installing a phone is indeed a little higher, but to them, it is nothing.
