"Isn't this a machine that can transmit sounds thousands of miles away?"

After the ministers arrived at the Qilin Hall, they frowned when they looked at the two boxes the size of women's dressing boxes placed in the hall.

The old guys also felt their hearts sinking.

Even the ministers who had previously supported Ying Feiyu began to murmur in their hearts.

There were a lot of doubts when the prince was studying a machine that could travel thousands of miles a day, but after it was built, it was so majestic.

But two such small boxes are not as big as their food boxes, can they transmit sounds thousands of miles?

Unless this thing can fly!

"Alas...! It seems that this experiment is really going to fail!"

The veterans shook their heads one after another, feeling helpless.

"Look, there are a lot of buttons on this box, I don't know what they are for!"

"No matter what they are for, you can't just rely on these buttons to deliver the message, right?"

"Yes! His Royal Highness the Prince said before that the telegraph machine can transmit messages thousands of miles away within half an hour. No matter how magical these buttons are, it is impossible...!"

Before Ying Zheng arrived, all the ministers gathered around and looked at the two small boxes and some messy wires placed in the middle of the hall.

However, no one dared to get too close, for fear that if they bumped into something they shouldn't have touched, and if the experiment failed later, they would be blamed.

After all, they have never seen these things before. Who knows which one can move and which one cannot move?

"Your Majesty has arrived...!"

Just as everyone was discussing around the two small boxes, a high-pitched voice came, and the ministers quickly arranged their clothes and returned to their seats.

As soon as he finished all this, Ying Zheng's round belly broke into everyone's sight first!

Then came Jing Fu, who carefully supported Ying Zheng and sat on the dragon chair!

Behind him were a group of princes, taking their seats one after another!

"See Your Majesty!"

The ministers bowed respectfully.

"Yeah! No gifts for everyone...!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand expectantly, and then issued an order, "Order Huang Yuan to go to the palace, bring the telegraph machine up, and demonstrate it for everyone!"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers present focused their attention on the two small boxes in the palace.

Isn't this a telegraph machine?

what is that?

Why does it appear here?

"Father, there is a telegraph machine in the palace. All we need to do is send a message to Huang Yuan and a few craftsmen to come up!"

Ying Feiyu reminded softly.

Before this, although he had never seen what a telegraph machine looked like, he often saw it on TV in later generations, and he had a rough impression of this thing.

Moreover, he copied the drawings of the telegraph machine from Universal Search and is very familiar with its appearance!

With just one glance, he was sure that the two small boxes in the hall were the newly built telegraph machines!

"What? Feiyu! You can't make such a joke!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng suddenly frowned.

Obviously, like the other ministers, in their imagination, a machine capable of transmitting sound thousands of miles must be quite large.

Let alone being as big as a locomotive, it cannot be as small as this!

"Father, do you think my son is joking with you?"

Ying Feiyu is a serious character.

"You have said before that a telegraph machine can transmit sounds thousands of miles away!"

"That's right! How did your father know that the telegraph machine in front of you cannot transmit messages thousands of miles away?"

"Just these few scraps of scrap metal, thrown on the street without anyone picking them up, can send a message thousands of miles away? Are you kidding me?"

Ying Zheng flicked his sleeves and robe, looking slightly annoyed.

He called all the civil and military officials from the court over, but this guy showed them these pieces of broken iron. Wasn't it a joke?

"Marquis Tongwu and Shangshu Zhang, don't you believe it either?"

Faced with Ying Zheng's doubts, Ying Feiyu not only showed no intention of getting angry, but instead turned his attention to a few old guys.

"Ahem..."

"Forehead……"

Although the old guys didn't answer directly, they looked away and pretended not to hear.

The meaning is already obvious. Like Ying Zheng, they just don't believe it!

"Since no one believes it, how about we take a gamble?"

Ying Feiyu squinted his eyes and grinned.

I haven't encountered such a good opportunity for a long time. Everyone doubted that it was a perfect opportunity to bet!

"bet?"

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Feiyu carefully, and that familiar smile appeared on his face again.

Almost every time he tries to trick someone, this smile appears!

"As the king of a country, how can I participate in gambling?"

Although he didn't believe that these two small boxes could deliver messages, he understood this kid.

As long as this kid shows this smile, he must be confident, so why should he throw himself into a trap?

Have you been tricked by this guy a lot before?

The ministers looked at each other and seemed to have some ideas, but they were afraid of Ying Zheng and did not dare to speak!

"This is not a morning meeting, but I invite you to watch this telegraph machine together. You can just entertain yourself!"

As if he had read through their thoughts, Ying Zheng waved his hand very generously, letting them place their bets as they pleased, while he himself just waited and watched with amusement.

"Um...this...?"

Even if Ying Zheng relented, no one among the ministers dared to speak first, they all seemed to be waiting and watching.

Seeing this situation, Ying Feiyu gave them another shot in the arm, "The Crown Prince is in a good mood today. I'll give you a bonus. No matter how much you bet, I'll give you three for one bet. How about that?"

"Bet one and pay three?"

The ministers' eyes suddenly lit up.

"Then if I deposit one hundred gold, won't I get three hundred gold?"

"Yes! You can earn two hundred gold just by talking, which is equivalent to our annual salary!"

"That's right! The more you bet, the more you will earn...!"

As expected, upon hearing this, many ministers' eyes lit up and they started counting with their fingers.

"But what if we lose? Wouldn't we have to spend half a year's salary on it?"

"Hurry up. If I hadn't seen the telegraph machine, maybe I would still have this doubt, but now the telegraph machine is right in front of you. Do you think that with these two small boxes, you can send messages thousands of miles away? Just

I’m afraid I won’t make it even a mile!”

"No! According to me, if you expect this thing to convey a message, it's not as good as someone shouting!"

"That's right! Didn't you hear it just now? Even His Majesty said, this is just scrap metal, no one will pick it up when thrown on the street...!"

There were also one or two timid ministers who raised questions, but were directly rejected by other ministers around them.

"Yeah, that's right!"

After listening to their persuasion, the questioning officials nodded in agreement and made up their minds to take a gamble with the prince.

"We made money today, so we went to Zuixianglou to drink in the evening. Let me tell you, there is a new guy named Xiaocui there, and he has a good waist!"

"Shh...! Keep your voice down, aren't you afraid of being heard by His Majesty?"
