Governor Feng Sanqiu listened to the conversation between Emperor Su He and Mei Hongyun, the inventor of wireless telegraphy.
He immediately stood up excitedly and said: "Your Majesty, the court should vigorously promote the technology of wireless telegraphy.
Our Metropolitan Government is in urgent need of this technology.
Especially the navy's warships are equipped with wireless telegraph equipment, so that the court can control the trends in real time.
Nowadays, naval ships are floating on the sea. We have no way to know the specific information and can only rely on the independent judgment of naval generals.
It is precisely for this reason that it takes an extremely long period for the Metropolitan Governor's Office to train naval generals.
This has led to the fact that even though the technology of ironclad ships is now mature, the size of the Imperial Navy is still unable to expand rapidly due to the lack of suitable naval generals.
Your Majesty, I am willing to use this year’s military expenditures to purchase wireless telegraph equipment.”
When Prime Minister Qian Mingyi heard what Governor Feng Sanqiu said, he could no longer watch on the sidelines.
Qian Mingyi immediately said: "Your Majesty, the wireless telegraph machine is conducive to the transmission of cabinet orders.
I believe that the wireless telegraph machine should be given priority to protect the cabinet’s use.”
When Feng Sanqiu heard this, he immediately opened his eyes and retorted: "Prime Minister Qian, you are talking nonsense.
The cabinet does not need wireless telegraph equipment urgently at all. The wired telegraph network that the court spent a lot of money to build can fully meet the cabinet's current needs.
I don't even want wireless telegraphy equipment to enter the army, just because the army now has cable television.
The Navy still urgently needs wireless telegraph equipment, and priority must be given to meeting the Navy's needs."
Prime Minister Qian Mingyi was not afraid of Feng Sanqiu and him glaring at the table.
His voice is not loud, but he is very powerful when he speaks.
"The Navy has no preparations for a large-scale war in the near future, and wireless telegraph machines only need to be put into use slowly.
The navy does not need every ship to be equipped with wireless telegraph machines.
Only two communication ships per fleet are needed to solve the problem of information connectivity.
In this way, the navy does not need to make major changes to warships and spend more military expenditures.
Today's government order system is relatively complex, and wired telegraphs can only transmit important messages.
Wireless telegraphy is easy to use and does not even require local electricity, so it can be a powerful tool to shorten the distance between the imperial court and the local area."
The eldest prince Su Shu saw the Prime Minister of the Cabinet and the Governor of the Governor's Office fighting for the wireless telegraph machine.
These high-ranking ministers were smart people who could see the huge potential of wireless telegraphy technology.
Wireless telegraph machines have not yet been officially put into industrial production, and the output will inevitably be very small.
In this way, the cabinet and the governor-general competed for wireless telegraph machines.
Whichever party competes more can turn it into political achievements very quickly and make its position more stable.
Su Shu is waiting for his father's arrangements. He wants to learn from his father's way of handling national affairs.
The cabinet and the governor-general refused to give in to each other. Officials from both sides stared and slapped the table, and the quarrel became louder and louder.
Emperor Su He looked at the scenes that often appeared in the Qianqing Palace, but he did not say a word to stop them.
The cabinet and the governor's office are harmonious and friendly to each other. As the emperor of the empire, he can't sleep at night.
There was a dispute between the cabinet and the governor-general, and the two parties could only cooperate with each other under the mediation of the emperor.
In this way, the empire will be more stable, and various problems will not arise just because one party is dominant.
Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi received the signal from Emperor Su He, and his high-pitched voice sounded.
"No noise is allowed in the important place of Qianqing Palace."
When this voice sounded, all the officials from both sides shut up. They knew that this was the prelude to Emperor Su He's upcoming speech.
Emperor Su He looked at the officials from the two sides who were constantly arguing.
He calmly ordered: "Wireless telegraphy technology is very important to the empire, and I will not allow anyone to monopolize this technology.
The Cabinet and the Metropolitan Government will allocate the production of wireless telegraph equipment based on priority needs.
The Metropolitan Government gives priority to supplying the naval fleet, especially the navy's ocean-going fleet.
After the shipyard has refitted the communication ship, they will head to the area where the ocean fleet is located as soon as possible.
Wireless telegraph machines should also be allocated to important passes of the army for emergency communication between the army and the metropolitan governorate.
The cabinet's wireless telegraph equipment will be allocated to overseas provinces with priority to strengthen the connection between overseas provinces and the mainland.
I also want to prepare a batch of wireless telegraph equipment to sell to the vassal states of the empire.
After several years of development, the vassal countries have grown stronger, and the sweet potato countries will inevitably experience wars.
This kind of war caused by interests will never stop easily.
I will act as a mediator and be responsible for limiting the scale of the war. I must communicate with the King of Sweet Potato Country in a timely manner.
Cable telegraphs cannot cross the Pacific Ocean. I am also worried that the vassal countries will fight too fiercely in the end, leading to large-scale annihilation of the country and directly destroying the achievements of the vassal countries' immigration.
In order to prevent this situation, the empire must maintain a highly mobile army.
The emergence of wireless telegraphy technology has solved the communication problem, which can effectively limit the scale of war."
Emperor Su He knew that war among vassal states was inevitable, and he also knew that after the survival of the fittest, the final winner could truly gain a foothold overseas.
But he didn't want the war among the vassal states to cause the current good situation to collapse.
The industrially armed army slaughters the same kind at a speed far exceeding that of the cold weapons era.
If the scale of the war cannot be limited, Emperor Su He can imagine how far it will develop.
The Great China Empire is too far away from some vassal states, and due to poor communication, it is also beyond its reach for certain matters.
Now the emergence of wireless telegraphy has completely reversed this situation.
If the Great China Empire communicates normally with its vassal states, some rules can be set.
If any vassal country dares to violate the rules, Emperor Su He can unite with the vassal country to teach those who do not abide by the rules.
Prime Minister Qian Mingyi and Governor Feng Sanqiu heard Emperor Su He say that the arrangement of the wireless telegraph machine was basically decided based on the needs of the cabinet and the Governor's Office for the machine.
They looked at each other and went back to write down their demands overnight. They must provide irrefutable reasons for their side to obtain more wireless telegraphy equipment.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Emperor Suhe Jinguo said, and the civil and military officials glared at each other, but they also accepted the arrangement.
Emperor Su He looked at the eldest prince Su Shu who was sitting behind the officials. He said with joy: "I will reward those who have made great contributions to the wireless telegraphy technical interview."
All the ministers were ready to leave Qianqing Palace and return home to rest.
When they heard Emperor Su He's words, they immediately became energetic.
If the main hero this time is an ordinary person or an ordinary official, the related rewards will be very easy to handle.
But the identity of the person who performed the meritorious service this time was unusual, and all the officials looked at the eldest prince Su Shu with their peripheral vision.
His Majesty the Emperor's consistent principle in dealing with the outside world is that meritorious deeds must be rewarded and transgressions must be punished.
Rewards are given quickly, and if someone performs meritorious deeds, the rewards will be fulfilled immediately.
If you pass, the punishment can be suspended, and in an emergency, you can serve the court with your guilty body.
The eldest prince Su Shu had just entered the officialdom, and he had already made such great achievements.
All the ministers were very curious, what would His Majesty the Emperor want to eat?
His Majesty the Emperor's attitude will affect the opinions of the ministers towards the eldest prince Su Shu.
The eldest prince Su Shu heard that his father wanted to reward him.
He immediately walked from the back to the front, bowed to his father and said: "Father, if you contribute to the empire, you are filial to your father and do not need any reward.
Erchen reported the radio project to the superior of the Ministry of Science and Technology, but because the project risk was too high, the Ministry of Science and Technology was not prepared to invest. Erchen invested in this project with his own money.
I did not use any money from the treasury, and my contribution to the empire was limited."
Su Shu said this because he did not want to give his father the impression that he was greedy.
He used brief language in the Qianqing Palace to explain to everyone that radio technology belonged to him personally.
He did not embezzle the assets of the imperial court, but recommended it to the imperial court as a priority, but was rejected by officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Emperor Su He saw the eldest prince Su Shu pretending to be open-minded, but he still lacked exercise and showed too many signs of performance.
"I have always rewarded my merits and punished my faults.
Su Shu, a member of the Ministry of Science and Technology, invested in wireless technology, prompting Mei Hongyun to develop wireless telegraphy technology, which made great contributions to the empire.
Su Shu was transferred to the position of doctor in the Audit Department of the Ministry of Finance."
When Su Shu heard his father's reward, he was extremely happy.
The Ministry of Finance is separated from the Ministry of Household Affairs and controls the most important financial affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The Audit Department of the Ministry of Finance is responsible for auditing the use of funds allocated by the Ministry of Finance by various government agencies.
This is the Ministry of Finance and its important departments, which hold great power.
Su Shu did not expect that he would be appreciated by his father just by investing in radio technology.
As a doctor of the Ministry of Finance, this has already entered the ranks of official officials.
The prefect is a formal official. If you reach the fourth official level, you can serve as the parent official of a place.
According to the royal training process prescribed by the father, if you want to become a prince, you must have the ability to handle government affairs and have experience in governing a party.
A dignified prince cannot become a seventh-grade county magistrate. That would be too low a starting point.
He really wanted to be a seventh-grade county magistrate, and he kept working hard to get promoted in the local area.
By the time he performed well, other princes had already won the title of prince through their outstanding performance.
If other princes become his boss, there is really no chance at all.
Su Shu discussed with his mother Wang Wenjun how he could become the prince.
The easiest way is to take advantage of his age and dominate a party as quickly as possible.
Let the father and the civil and military officials see his true ability and recognize his ability to handle national affairs.
As long as he can be one step faster than other princes and show his outstanding abilities.
As the queen, Wang Wenjun can promote Su Shu to become the prince.
Su Shu also knew that with the current situation of the empire, it was impossible for a prince with insufficient abilities to get a hold of the throne.
He thinks that his abilities are not bad, and as long as his father gives him a chance to perform, he will definitely be able to soar into the sky.
The fourth rank is the threshold to enter a place. Only by becoming a prefect can one truly govern a place.
Whoever can step into the fourth level as quickly as possible also represents the extent of a prince's ability.
Now Su Shu has become an official official, as long as he makes some achievements and does a little business.
He can become an official in charge of the government. After performing well, he will definitely be recognized by his father and become the crown prince of the empire.
The ministers also knew about His Majesty the Emperor's training plan for the prince.
His Majesty the Emperor allowed the eldest prince Su Shu to become a fourth-rank official so quickly, which means he is very satisfied with the performance of the eldest prince Su Shu.
Some officials who were still hesitating have made up their minds through this observation and can officially invest in the eldest prince Su Shu.
Emperor Su He saw the ecstatic performance of the eldest prince Su Shu.
He was extremely satisfied with his son, and his successor was only full of love for technology and industry.
Only then will the development of science and technology and industry in the Dahua Empire not hit the brakes or even go back.
In just two generations, industry has formed huge interest groups.
At that time, even if the emperor himself objects, the emperor will die of illness inexplicably.
That's just like an official in the Ming Dynasty. As long as he touches the fundamental interests of the civil servant group, he will die without any reason.
Among the many princes of Emperor Su He, only the eldest prince Su Shu was genuinely interested in science.
This may be related to the fact that Emperor Su He often held him in his arms to teach his students when he was a child.
The princes who grew up in the imperial palace only regarded science as a normal subject.
As long as the eldest prince Su Shu's governance skills reach an average level, the position of crown prince will definitely belong to him.
Even the Queen Wang Wenjun didn't know what Emperor Su He was thinking.
He must put pressure on the princes to show their true potential.
The eldest prince Su Shu was stunned for a while, then he immediately bowed and thanked him: "My son, I have thanked my father for the reward.
I will definitely fulfill my duties in the Ministry of Finance and catch the bad guys in various yamen."
After Su Shu saluted and expressed his attitude, he said again: "Father, my son worked in the Ministry of Science and Technology for a short time, but he also learned a lot from Minister Tian Jiapeng.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Erchen’s understanding of technology has also become more comprehensive.
I am about to leave the Ministry of Science and Technology, and I have some thoughts of my own that I would like to discuss with my father and other ministers."
Emperor Su He saw that the eldest prince still wanted to show off. He smiled and agreed: "Shu'er, if you have any questions, it's okay to just say it."
The eldest prince Su Shu held his head high and said eloquently: "I just heard some officials say that after the emergence of wireless telegraphy, the wired telegraph lines that had been laid at a huge cost were abandoned.
Professor Lu Dawei of Huaxia University developed a technology called telephone.
He could change the wired telegraph network into a telephone network.
Most of the previously laid lines can be reused without causing waste.
Erchen believes that the internal combustion engine project being researched by Huaxia University has broad prospects.
Erchen is ready to follow up on this project and provide them with the best service.
Now I have left the Ministry of Science and Technology and begged my father to pay attention to the internal combustion engine project.
Once this project is successful, it will change the world."
After Emperor Su He heard this, he was extremely satisfied with the performance of the eldest prince Su Shu.
The telephone project and the internal combustion engine project were not projects explored by the eldest prince Su Shu.
But after his brief exposure to these two projects, he can see their huge prospects, which is an extremely excellent ability.
Emperor Su He praised: "Shu'er, I will pay special attention to these two projects.
You have performed very well in the Ministry of Science and Technology in such a short time, and I look forward to your performance in the Ministry of Finance."
When the eldest prince Su Shu heard his father's praise, he immediately saluted and said: "My son will never let down my father's expectations."
When the ministers saw this scene, they all had different thoughts.
After the imperial meeting, the ministers returned home and gathered friends to discuss important affairs of the country.
