Chapter 137 Laziness is the Elevator of Human Progress
Zhu Zhanchen came to see Fat Dad excitedly. This time he was full of confidence. Fat Dad was not interested in the electric light because he thought why it should be so bright at night, but he must be extremely interested in the phone.
Taking the phone to Zhu Gaochi's study, Zhu Gaochi didn't understand what this thing was doing. It felt like an enlarged version of the electric light from a few days ago, and he couldn't understand the receiver and microphone.
Standing there, Zhu Zhanyi and his men were tinkering, and Zhu Gaochi asked in confusion: "What is Zhanyi doing?"
"Wait a minute, father, I'll show you when it's ready."
After laying out the lines, Xiaosheng stood in front of the shaking wheel, put the receiver on Zhu Gaochi's desk, and Zhu Zhanchen walked outside the room.
"Ahem." After clearing his throat, Zhu Zhanzhen motioned to the boy in the courtyard to shake the wheel to generate electricity.
"Dad, are you there?"
Zhu Gaochi looked at the receiver in front of him in shock: "What kind of monster is this? Why is there a voice? Is it Zhan's voice?"
Zhu Zhanchen ran in with a smile on his face.
"Father, what do you think? This thing is really powerful."
After all, Zhu Gaochi was a prince, and his shock only lasted for a while, and turned into questions: "You were talking in the yard just now, and this weird thing made a sound?"
"Yes, father. Father is really amazing. He understood it right away."
"What's the principle?"
This principle was more troublesome to explain to Zhu Gaochi. Zhu Zhanzhen had to explain it from the beginning, but Zhu Gaochi, who had no basic knowledge of physics, heard it in confusion.
Zhu Zhanzhen said helplessly: "Father, this thing can transmit your voice very far anyway, from the courtyard. As long as the line is long enough, it can be transmitted to the palace gate, to the cabinet, and to all the people."
Mansion."
"Can it really be so?"
"Of course, father, this thing is not difficult. As long as the line is long enough and there is electricity at the same time, it will be the same power generation method I told you a few days ago."
Zhu Zhanzhen continued: "Father, from now on, you can give instructions to the cabinet and the six ministers in the study room of the East Palace. You can just call them anytime and anywhere. It is much easier than sending someone to send a message. And
It's quick and effortless, you can just lie on the bed and approve the memorial while eating."
After drawing this piece of pie, Zhu Gaochi became energetic. He felt no longer sleepy when he said this, and it truly hit his core needs.
"Wait a minute." Zhu Gaochi studied the phone by himself.
Sure enough, he couldn't understand anything.
"Zhan Zhen, you have to do this, and you will be rewarded if you do it well." Zhu Gaochi seemed to imagine that in the future he could explain things with just a phone call, which was much easier than the current way of working.
In this way, with the same workload, Zhu Gaochi can save at least one-third of his time on tasting delicious food.
How can I refuse this? How can I refuse this? I cannot refuse this.
In just a few breaths, Zhu Gaochi had already decided to fully support Zhu Zhanzhen in the telephone project. Even if the steamship stopped, the telephone project could not be stopped.
Diligence is the ladder to success.
So what is laziness? It is the elevator for the progress of human society.
"Zhan Zhan, please leave the palace now and find a craftsman to make a usable phone within ten days." Zhu Gaochi suddenly became happy and ordered Zhu Zhan Xi to leave the palace.
The old eunuch next to him had a sad face: "His Royal Highness, tomorrow is the New Year's banquet. It is difficult for His Highness to leave the palace now."
Zhu Gaochi was carried away and sighed helplessly: "Let's wait until tomorrow after the New Year's party. We will go out the day after tomorrow. If you need anything, just ask for it and try to get the phone made as soon as possible." Everything has to be done.
The telephone gives way.
Anyone who develops a telephone in front of my son is an enemy of me, Zhu Gaochi.
When the person was happy, he felt that his condition was getting better. The old eunuch said flatteringly: "Your Highness, your condition has been getting better and better since His Highness the Fifth Prince asked you to touch the wire that day. Please take good care of yourself for a while. Your Highness's condition will be better and better."
My body is definitely better than before.”
Zhu Gaochi smiled with satisfaction. Indeed, he felt that his body had become much more relaxed recently, and his sickly appearance had eased a lot.
Zhu Zhanzhen himself was surprised. Is there really such a thing as electrotherapy? Isn't it necessary to electrify all six ministers?
At this time, the Crown Princess happened to come over. Seeing Zhu Gaochi's rare happy look, she smiled slightly and asked: "Your Highness, what are you so happy about? I haven't seen you smile so happily for a long time."
"Come on, come on, come and take a look. This is a new phone made by Zhan Chang. You can hear people talking from one end to the other. It's amazing. If the line is longer, I'll be talking here and you'll be in the room.
Everyone can hear it.”
"Really? That's amazing."
I tried it again on the Crown Princess, who was also surprised and speechless.
But seeing Zhu Gaochi so happy made her feel relieved.
Zhu Gaochi has been a little dissatisfied with Zhu Zhanxun's recent work. She is afraid that the relationship between father and son will become tense. Zhu Gaochi has complained to her more than once recently that Zhu Zhanxun has become very eager, aggressive, and behaves too perversely.
Even his father ignored him and expressed some of his dissatisfaction.
She was originally here to put in a good word for Zhu Zhanxun and turn Zhu Gaochi's ear off, but now it seems that it is redundant.
Zhu Zhanyi had tinkered with a telephone that suited Zhu Gaochi's wishes. Looking at Zhu Gaochi's happy face, I am afraid that some of his previous dissatisfaction with Zhu Zhanyi had long been forgotten.
Seeing that the relationship between father and son was now extremely harmonious, the Crown Princess felt relieved.
He pulled Zhu Zhanchen and sat down: "You, don't be so impatient, learn more from your eldest brother and third brother."
Zhu Gaochi recovered from his overly happy mood and said with a straight face: "Your eldest and third brothers are all fighting on the front line. If you act recklessly, you will harm your brothers."
"Father, mother, my son has realized his mistake and will never do it again in the future." Zhu Zhanchen sincerely admitted his mistake again.
The Crown Princess smiled kindly: "Yesterday, your eldest brother and your third brother asked the fleet to bring back New Year's gifts. Your eldest brother also sent news that your third brother's team encountered the enemy's troops while supervising the transportation of supplies.
Surprise attack."
"Don't look at Zhan Yong, who is usually so quiet. He didn't panic at all when faced with a surprise attack. He counterattacked with his team and pushed back the enemy. He also suffered some injuries, but Zhan Ji said they were just superficial injuries."
As the Crown Princess spoke, the eunuchs brought in a potted pine tree.
"This is a New Year's gift that Zhan Yong asked the steamer to bring back. They are said to be two green pines growing next to the white pagoda in front of the Buddha. They are shaped like dancing phoenixes. The masters said they have Buddha nature, so Zhan Yong sent them back to me."
"You three brothers, Zhan Yong is the one who knows how to care for your mother the most. In Shuntian Mansion, he would receive letters from time to time. Although they are all about trivial matters, at least they won't worry you."
Zhu Zhanyong is self-aware in this regard, and he is indeed not as good as Zhu Zhanyong. Although the third brother looks more dull, there are not many people who can compare with him in terms of respecting his parents.
"Mom, I have a new dish tomorrow, and I asked the maid in my kitchen to cook it for you at the New Year's dinner."
"What kind of food?" When it comes to food, Zhu Gaochi is much more active than the Crown Princess.
"I named it Buddha Jumping over the Wall. If Buddha eats it, he will jump over the wall and return to secular life."
