In the tent …
Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin continued to eat. They had already eaten their fill, but when they heard Li Zexuan say that they would increase their training tomorrow, they couldn't help but feel a little hungry. The two of them immediately felt even more motivated to eat. They looked like they wouldn't stop until they had finished all the food in their boxes. They weren't afraid of indigestion at all!
Li Zexuan, after a long moment of thought, turned on the telegraph and sent out another message.
Beep beep beep!
Chang 'an, King of Shu's Residence …
Ever since Li Ke had been crowned King of Shu several months ago, he had moved out of the Imperial Palace. In the last few days, he and Li Junxian had been busy setting up the Gold-clothed Guards for the Yanhuang Bank. He had just eaten dinner and had just bathed and changed his clothes. As he was reading in his study, he suddenly heard a beeping sound coming from a wooden box on a nearby bookshelf.
"Could it be a message from Yamachō?"
As a student of Yanhuang College, Li Ke was naturally very familiar with this beeping sound. When he had gone north to exterminate the locusts, he had helped Li Zexuan manage the telegraph. Now that Li Ke was in charge of the Yanhuang Bank, Li Zexuan had given him a telegraph for daily communication purposes.
In truth, with Li Zexuan's wealth and the Academy's current technology, he could mass-produce telegraph machines. However, the number of telegraph machines in the Great Tang could be counted on one's fingers. The Academy had one, the Workshop had one, the Imperial Palace had one, the Marquis' Residence had one, Li Tai had one, Li Ke had one, and Li Zexuan had one. There were two reasons why they hadn't mass-produced telegraph machines. One reason was that there was no need, and the other was that Li Zexuan had too many telegraph machines, which could lead to the leak of technical secrets. After all, it was much easier to keep a secret with seven telegraph machines than with seventy!
However, if the imperial court needed a large number of telegrams, such as when the war between the Great Tang and the Turks was about to break out, with the technological foundation of the Strange Taste Pavilion, they were completely capable of producing dozens of telegrams in just a few days for the army to use!
In the study of the King of Shu's Mansion, Li Ke walked quickly to the bookshelf and placed the wooden box on the desk. He took out the telegraph and began to record the code skillfully.
"It really is Yamachō!"
A moment later, Li Ke confirmed the identity of the person on the other end of the telegraph. He was suddenly energized and quickly replied a string of codes to confirm his identity with Li Zexuan.
Beep beep beep ~!
A moment later, the telegraph machine rang again. This time, the ringing lasted for more than fifteen minutes. Li Ke used a pencil to write down two pages of code on the rice paper. Only then did the beeping sound of the telegraph machine gradually stop.
Li Ke hurriedly took the password book from the bookshelf and began to translate the code sent by Li Zexuan.
He did not have Li Zexuan's monstrous memory, who could translate the code in his mind while listening to it.
"Little Ke, the Kingdom War is imminent. Yesterday, I promised His Majesty to gather all the merchants of Great Tang to gather military funds for the country. However, I am currently in the military and cannot travel. I can only entrust this matter to you! Tomorrow, go to my residence to find your mistress and ask for the seal of the Flaming Yellow Chamber of Commerce. After that, go find a member of the chamber of commerce, Lin Wenyuan, and ask him to help you complete this matter! You are talented and intelligent. I believe that you will be able to complete this task! "
After about five minutes, Li Ke heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally finished translating. Looking at the content on the rice paper, Li Ke fell into deep thought.
