Communication was of great significance in any era. It was the basis of communication between people. Without communication, there would be no way for people to communicate with each other, and they would all have to live in isolation. Human civilization would not be able to develop, and it would be impossible for them to have brilliant achievements. It was estimated that they would be the same as the animals in the wild now.
Even animals had the most primitive means of communication between each other. For example, after a wolf pack found food, they would howl to call their companions and let their companions meet them as soon as possible so that everyone could share the delicious food together.
In the early days of human beings, the means of communication mainly relied on roaring. There was still a gap compared to wolves, let alone other means. However, human beings were also the smartest. After generations of civilization development, the means of communication became more and more advanced. In ancient times, there were courier horses, pigeons, geese, and other faster means. In modern times, the emergence of the telegraph and the telephone completely subverted the early means of communication of human beings, making communication faster and faster. There was almost no waiting time.
In ancient times, the eight-hundred-mile express could only send the message eight hundred miles away in a day. In the later civilized society, a mobile phone call could immediately get in touch with the other party. It was really convenient and fast.
When the telephone first appeared, only the government and the particularly rich could afford to use the telephone. Ordinary people did not even dare to think about it. With the development of the era, soon, the most common poor could use the telephone. Moreover, it was a mobile phone. Moreover, the functions of the mobile phone were getting more and more powerful. There were all kinds of functions, and it was very convenient and fast.
There was a great advantage to having fast communication, and that was to promote the connection between people and prevent the generation of emotions such as worry.
For example, before the popularization of mobile phones and the telephone, if a person left home and did not return for a year, then the people at home would not know his specific situation. They would not even know whether this person was alive or dead. The anxiety in the heart was feasible. This was the meaning of worry!
However, in the era of advanced communication, there was also a disadvantage. That was, the communication was too frequent. People could contact each other anytime and anywhere. The emotion of missing was gradually forgotten. Many people could not even feel what it was like to miss. The absence of this emotion was also a pity for human beings!
However, in any case, the development of advanced communication methods was the progress of the era. It was a general trend that no one could stop. Although the development of advanced communication methods would cause certain negative consequences, overall, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages. It could be seen from the full support of the imperial court and the emperor that everyone was full of expectations for this subversive invention.
Once the brand-new communication methods appeared in the era of the Tang dynasty, the development and promotion of the Tang Empire would be indescribable in words. This would save a huge amount of materials and promote the development of the Tang Empire in a better and faster direction.
Think about it. The transmission of various official news in the entire Tang dynasty required the use of a large number of relay stations. The consumption of the imperial court's resources was not small. In addition, it was difficult for the relay stations to transmit information. Even the relay stations deployed along the railway line could not be compared with the speed of the telephone. As long as there was a telephone, these relay stations could basically be eliminated. The various decrees of the imperial court could be transmitted more quickly, thus greatly saving administrative costs. As for the investment of laying and maintaining the huge telephone line, it was insignificant in the face of these benefits.
It was precisely because of these benefits that all the officials and people who knew about the Ten Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Plan were very supportive of Ang Lee. Some of the officials and people who opposed the plan were not against the plan itself, but felt that it was too difficult to achieve. It was simply a fantasy. If the experiment failed, wouldn't it waste a lot of the imperial court's resources?
Because Ang Lee had created too many miracles, on the whole, most people believed in Ang Lee and supported the plan. Only a few people were skeptical.
"Assistant Minister Li, are you going to the R&D Center?"
Li Yu quickened his pace to catch up with Ang Lee.
Ang Lee nodded and said, "Yes! Recently, I've encountered a lot of problems. If I don't go there in person, I'm afraid that the craftsmen can't solve them! "
"Assistant Minister Li, can the Ten Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Plan really succeed? Can we directly talk to people in Luoyang in Chang 'an and hear each other's voices?"
Li Yu seemed to be in disbelief.
Ang Lee looked at Li Yu with a displeased expression and said, "Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon has so little confidence in me. Is it that difficult?"
After saying that, he looked relaxed.
'Is it that difficult? Is he still a normal person? '
Li Yu complained in his heart. When he thought of being able to talk to people in Luoyang directly, Li Yu felt that it was unbelievable. It was too ridiculous.
Although he had come up with some shocking inventions before, such as trains and airplanes, these inventions paled in comparison to the Ten Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Plan. They were not on the same level at all.
For example, although trains were much more advanced than carriages, they only ran on the ground and were rationalized based on carriages. Although airplanes were more powerful, it was said that Lu Ban had also created mechanical objects that could fly in the sky, and the principle was not much different from airplanes. As for other things, although they were more powerful, they were just so-so when taken apart carefully. However, the Ten Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Plan was different. It would give people a subversive understanding and make people feel that it was incredible.
Although in the ancient environment, these were all strange skills and were not things that could be brought to the table. However, these things invented by Ang Lee were too powerful and were of great use to change the lives of the people of the Tang dynasty. Therefore, no one dared to look down on these so-called strange skills and were regarded as very practical and important technologies. Even the imperial court agreed to open classes for craftsmen's children to learn these skills from an early age so that they could invent more and better things in the future.
Looking at Li Yu's surprised eyes, Ang Lee did not seem to care. This kind of expression was so common that it could not arouse the slightest psychological fluctuation in Ang Lee. He smiled faintly and said, "Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon, what's the matter?"
Li Yu said, "Last night, Shi 'er suddenly wanted to go to the mountains outside the city. I asked him why, and he said that many of the flowers and trees that Assistant Minister Li talked about in class could not be found in the Daming Palace. I specifically asked the reading attendant and confirmed that it was true. Moreover, Shi' er and the reading attendant searched the Daming Palace for several days but could not find them. Hahaha!"
At the mention of his son, Li Yu laughed unconsciously. It was obvious that he was very happy.
"Haha! Shi 'er is a very serious student! However, many of the flowers and trees that I talked about, some of them could not be found in the entire Tang dynasty, and some of them were of poor quality and were not noble enough to enter the palace. If Shi 'er goes to the mountains outside the city, he can see more flowers and trees. At least, there must be more types of plants in the mountains outside the city than in the palace. This is not wrong. "
Ang Lee replied with a smile.
Li Yu nodded and said, "Assistant Minister Li is right. In two days, it will be time to teach the children again. Why don't Assistant Minister Li pull the class outside the city? This way, they can see the plants outside the city with their own eyes. Only then can they really understand, right? "
When Li An heard this, he felt that it was too right. Nature was the best teacher. Bringing students out to play, wasn't it just an outing? In spring, they could go for a walk. In autumn, they could also see different and charming scenery. And the benefits of doing this were obvious. It could let the children experience the beautiful scenery of nature at close range and be filled with a passion for life.
Because the outing needed to climb mountains and wade through rivers, it was a more physically demanding thing. Therefore, it could also test the children's physical strength and endurance, and test their willpower. It was very beneficial for their future.
Since there were so many benefits to the outing, Ang Lee naturally had no reason to object. The only problem was the problem of safety. If he only took Li Shi for the outing, a dozen guards would be enough. But if he took a large group of imperial grandchildren for the outing, the security pressure would not be easy. In addition, there were too many imperial grandchildren and guards. In order to ensure safety, they might need to block the roads along the way, which would interfere with the normal life of ordinary people.
In short, there was no pressure for ordinary people to go on an outing and they could set off at any time. However, when the imperial grandchildren went out to play together, there were more things to consider. If any detail was not taken into account, it could lead to accidents. For example, if ordinary people went out for an outing, it would not be a problem if they fell or got injured. But if the imperial grandchildren fell, it would be a very serious problem. Not only would the imperial grandchildren suffer, but the attendants would definitely be caned. The guards would also be punished. Even Ang Lee, the organizer, would be criticized to a certain extent.
However, no matter how difficult it was, Ang Lee was not afraid. As long as all the work was properly arranged in advance, there would not be any major problems and there would not be any safety risks. As for the abrasions caused by the occasional fall, Ang Lee was fully capable of resolving them.
"Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon's suggestion is very good. I personally support it. However, should we tell His Majesty about this?"
Ang Lee nodded and said.
"Assistant Minister Li, don't worry. I will tell Grandfather about this. I believe he will agree."
Li Yu said.
"If that's the case, that's great. The day after tomorrow, we will gather at the gate of the Daming Palace. We will go on an outing together. Goodbye."
Ang Lee did not have much time to chat with Li Yu. There were still many things waiting for him in the R&D Center. Especially today and tomorrow, it was the best time for Ang Lee to solve the problem. Ang Lee was also fully confident in his ability to solve this problem before the day after tomorrow. Then, he would let the craftsmen begin to produce experimental products, which would further promote the development of the Thousand Miles Telepathy Project.
Yang Guozhong put down all the work at hand, bought some gifts, and quietly ran to Li Linfu's mansion. He had very important things to discuss with Li Linfu. He believed that Li Linfu was about to die and should be able to bury the hatchet with him. After all, they now had a common enemy. Moreover, Li Linfu was a person with a honeyed mouth and a sword in his heart. He would not be as stubborn as the Crown Prince who refused to reconcile with him.
However, since he wanted to give a gift, he had to give something more expensive and high-class. Yang Guozhong's stingy personality was also revealed at this time. He did not give anything expensive, but a very ordinary snack, the kind that cost five copper coins a bag. It should be called a dessert, which was for children. However, the general elderly also liked to eat it. In fact, it was considered a good small gift. However, it was generally a gift for ordinary people. Rich people would not be interested in it.
Yang Guozhong, as a high-ranking official, had many profitable businesses. Naturally, he was not a poor ordinary person. He casually gave some desserts as a gift. It was indeed a bit shabby. This was simply to disgust Li Linfu.
However, Li Linfu was about to die. It was indeed not worth investing in. Everyone was just using each other. No one owed anyone anything. Why should he give a big gift? Moreover, Li Linfu was about to die. If the gift was too big, Li Linfu would not be able to accept it. It was enough to buy some desserts.
"Imperial Censor Yang, why are you here?"
The housekeeper, Li Zhonglin, had just returned from buying medicine for Li Linfu when he saw Yang Guozhong coming to visit.
Yang Guozhong was too lazy to be polite with a servant. He directly said, "Quickly go and tell the Right Prime Minister that Yang Guozhong has come to visit."
"Yes, Imperial Censor Yang, please wait for a moment."
Although Li Zhonglin had some opinions about Yang Guozhong, at this time, he did not dare to be negligent. He immediately trotted to report.
In the beginning, when Yang Guozhong opposed Li Linfu, he hated Yang Guozhong to death. He felt that this person surnamed Yang was an ungrateful villain. He actually betrayed the person who promoted and helped him. But now, Yang Guozhong's position was like the sun in the sky, and Li Linfu was about to die. Therefore, he naturally did not dare to be angry, and even more so, did not dare to offend Yang Guozhong.
"Alang, Yang Guozhong is here."
Li Zhonglin even put aside the instructions for his subordinates to brew medicine. He directly ran into Li Linfu's bedroom to report the situation.
"What, Yang Guozhong is here? What is he here for?"
Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong had been at odds for many years. Neither of them gave in to the other, but they had always cooperated well on the path of framing the Crown Prince. Apart from that, the two of them were practically enemies.
"Alang, Yang Guozhong seems to be here to see you. He even has a gift in his hand."
Li Zhonglin guessed.
"What, he even has a gift? Is he really here to see me?"
Li Linfu frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Zhonglin! Did something happen in the imperial court today? "
