Chapter 256: undercurrent
After agreeing to Du Pingzhi’s provision of technical information, Li Yin went to other factories with the company of the two. Today, Taoyuan’s industrial supplies are basically self-sufficient. The passage of time will always be mastered, and Li Yin is not in a hurry, after all, he can't become a big fat man with one bite.
"By the way, is there any news from the prospecting team?" Li Yin asked suddenly when he was about to leave, thinking that he should stop and let Li Yuanchang have a look.
Tong Yu said: "So far, four coal mines have been discovered, and the scale is not small, and the photos have also been taken."
Li Yin nodded, "Then you send the specific information to the newspaper office, and let them make a newspaper and send it to Chang'an."
"Yes, Your Highness." Tong Yu nodded, and said again: "Speaking of photos, a black and white camera that a craftsman in Taoyuan is developing has already taken shape, and I'm afraid it won't be long before it can be produced."
"Oh, is it?" Li Yin is still very interested in things in this field. For this reason, he specially bought an old-fashioned camera for Taoyuan, and asked them to dismantle and copy it. Now he has finally made some progress. How is it?"
"This is rather difficult, mainly due to the problem of the film. Now the factory is studying how to produce the film. As long as the film can be mass-produced, there will be basically no problem. As His Highness said, it is very difficult to create something from nothing, but from something to imitation It's easier, so we don't have to do it step by step." Tong Yu said with emotion.
When they said that they had already arrived at Taniguchi in Taoyuan, Li Min said: "That's right, now all things should be imitated, and innovation should be made on the basis of imitation. There is no need to start from scratch. It’s meaningless, as long as you master the knowledge of specific principles. In addition, since you have such an advanced industrial foundation, then you encourage craftsmen to imitate and turn things in books and teaching videos into real objects. Don’t be afraid to spend money. No matter how poor Wang is, he will give you the funds first."
Li Yin's words warmed Tong Yu's heart, and he said: "Your Highness, with your words, Tong Yu dares to let go. Taoyuan will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
Patted on the shoulders of the two, Li Yin said: "Go back, next time I come, I will pack something nice for you, so that I will not have to run here every day in the future."
"What?" Du Pingzhi was always curious about new gadgets and asked.
"Radio!" Li Yin showed a row of white teeth. He already felt the pain of the Tang Dynasty's backward communication system, whether it was the transmission speed of the Shadow Guard's news or Taoyuan. The transmission of information from Shengtang Chamber of Commerce is very troublesome. With the radio, he can contact these two places at any time to inquire about the situation and issue orders. And he also checked. In modern times, a simple car radio can reach 50 kilometers. If we build a larger radio station, wouldn't it be able to cover the entire Yizhou?
Look at each other. Both of them smiled. They have already studied the history of technological development, and they are no strangers to radio. All are in high spirits.
After returning to the palace, Li Yin started to work on the radio station, but before that he had to learn how to use the radio station himself, so he planned to go back to Hyundai to sign up for the amateur radio training class during this time, so as to master the use of the radio station. …
Since Wang Tao's letter was sent from Yizhou, the Wang family in Taiyuan received his urgent letter within four days, and this letter caused the Wang family in Taiyuan to stir up waves.
"What should we do? His Royal Highness the King of Shu threw a piece of fat to our Wang family. Do you want it or not?" As the patriarch of the Wang family, Wang Pu had a headache after reading the letter. The big temptation is in front of you, and it makes people drool just looking at it.
The people sitting in the main hall are all famous figures in the Wang family, who are considered to be very important in the Wang family. At this time, Wang Tao's letters were passed in their hands one by one.
"The king of Shu is trying to divide people. He clearly wants to break the union of the five surnames and seven Wangs, so that he can profit from it." An old man in the hall said.
"That's what I said, but now that the king of Shu is powerful, even the crown prince is afraid of three points. The five surnames and seven Wangs unite to fight against him. Up to now, they have not gained any benefits. On the contrary, they have suffered a lot of hidden losses. The cooperation of the Chamber of Commerce has allowed some new types of families to rise up and attack the old families like us. If this continues, we may not be worth the loss." Another person said.
The two people who spoke were both well-known elders in the clan. Wang Pu had a headache. Obviously, the Wang family was now divided into two factions. He looked at a young man sitting without his head. He was the most outstanding family member of the young generation of the Wang family. His name is Wang Bing'an, he won the first place in the imperial examination this year, and Li Shimin liked it quite a lot in the imperial examination, "Dalang, I see you frown and think deeply, do you have any suggestions?"
Wang Bingan stood up, pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice, "I was not optimistic about the union of the five surnames and seven Wangs from the very beginning."
"Oh, then tell me, why?" Wang Pu asked. Wang Bing'an's words just said that he was in the heart. His face was red and his ears were red, and he didn't look united at all.
Wang Bing'an chuckled and said: "Presumably, you all know the fact that the eighteen princes of the Three Kingdoms conquered Dong Zhuo and returned without success. The reason for their failure was nothing more than their own interests, and they refused to contribute. They even gave each other small shoes. Huanran."
"Now the alliance of the five surnames and seven wangs is nothing more than that. It is not fighting openly and secretly for their own interests. This letter also clearly states that the King of Shu once promised the emperor to help the development of other places in the Tang Dynasty, and in the north, it is basically our family. The site can only be chosen from a few of us, and the king of Shu also said that he has a very good relationship with the king's servant, so he considers our Wang family. If the Wang family is unwilling, he can find other families. "Wang Bingan frowned, "Elders, if we don't take over this piece of fat, will the other families have to go? Who can guarantee that they will not cooperate with the King of Shu? After all, you know the value of these things." of."
"What Dalang said is that the Lu family is already ambiguous about Yizhou. The Cui family is now divided into two factions. The Cui family's children who came back from Yizhou are all very supportive of Yizhou. The king of Shu has been persuading the family, and some of them are now sided with Cui Shao. If Li Yin gives some benefits at this time, then Cui Shao will probably regain control of the Cui family." An elder said.
Wang Pu nodded when he heard the words, "I'm afraid the King of Shu is already paying attention to the Cui family. If we accept cooperation, at least we will not face other families alone, and the Cui family will accompany us."
The elders in the hall nodded in agreement when they heard the words.
Just as Wang Pu guessed, when Wang Tao's letter arrived at Wang's house, a letter also arrived at Cui Shao's mansion.
"The King of Shu's decision is really timely, Cui Zhang, please take a look!" Because of the internal struggles in the Cui family, Cui Shao was worried day and night, and his face was still a little ugly, but after reading this letter, the sadness in his heart suddenly disappeared. Mostly.
After reading the letter carefully, Cui Zhang was a little excited: "It turns out that the king of Shu hasn't forgotten about us and has been preparing for this matter. Uncle, why don't you let the news out now, so that the internal strife in the Cui family may be over."
"No, not yet, Cui Zhang, you guys came back from Yizhou to know the power of the King of Shu, but the gentry in the north, including the Cui family, don't know it well. You should understand that even if Li Chengqian ascends the throne and takes Li Yin in the future, it will be a big problem. There is no way to do it, but it is easy for Li Yin to replace it, so this time we want to let them see the strength of Yizhou. After these things are shipped, they will be planted on our land. I understand whose side I should stand on." Cui Shao said seriously.
"Yes, Uncle, leave the trip to Yizhou to buy seeds to me, and I will definitely get it done." Cui Zhang said.
"Okay!" Cui Shao looked at Cui Zhang appreciatively. If Cui Zhang and others had not been supporting him, his life would be even more difficult, so he trusted Cui Zhang very much. (To be continued..)
