- In the huge Empire Square, the center of the square is very lively. With the lights shining on it, beautiful girls are dancing vigorously, driving the atmosphere and rhythm of the whole place, just like a concert scene in later generations.
Around the square, the guys from Daming Electrical Company are constantly explaining to everyone how to use electric lights, precautions, installation matters, etc., and handing out posters from the electrical company, which introduce the electric lamps in detail.
Many young and old men in the Ming Dynasty also learned about electricity and electric lights for the first time, and also got to know this magical thing.
At the same time, here are the Imperial Palace in the capital and the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace.
As night falls, Emperor Hongzhi habitually prepares to read and sleep.
Since the Ming Dynasty carried out administrative reforms and Liu Jin became a cabinet minister, there were not many memorials that needed to be reviewed by Emperor Hongzhi. There were only dozens of memorials a day, and sometimes more than 100.
After the morning court and small meetings, Emperor Hongzhi could finish approving the memorials early in the afternoon, and he had a lot of free time every day to do things he liked.
For example, you can play with your precious daughter Princess Nanyang, or you can go and see how your precious grandchildren and granddaughters are studying in class.
In the evening, I also started to develop the habit of reading. I can read all kinds of books, including traditional books, newly learned books, etc., and I can be considered well-read.
"Why don't you hold the lamp yet?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the dim Qianqing Palace and asked the eunuch Li Quan next to him in confusion.
¡°To answer your Majesty¡¯s question, His Highness the Crown Prince specifically told me today that he would not hold a lamp at night, but would use something called an electric lamp that he invented.¡±
Li Quan also replied quickly.
"Lamp?"
"What is this?"
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately asked in confusion.
"I don't know either. His Royal Highness said that you can start lighting this lamp at 7 o'clock. He said that it is very bright, much brighter than candles, oil lamps and the like."
Li Quan replied, then looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "Your Majesty, it will be seven o'clock soon."
"Hmm~"
"What did this kid come up with again, a light bulb?"
"Both the electric light and the telegraph have the word "telegraph". Are they the same thing?"
¡°Something related to electromagnetism?¡±
Emperor Hongzhi thought quickly in his mind.
Soon, it was seven o'clock in the evening.
"Turn on the lights~"
With Li Quan¡¯s order, the little eunuch who had already prepared quickly pressed a switch button according to the instructions of the Daming Electrical Company¡¯s clerk.
In an instant, the originally dark Qianqing Palace suddenly became extremely bright. The crystal lamps that had been installed and hung in advance lit up one after another, illuminating the entire Qianqing Palace and making the Qianqing Palace magnificent. Illuminate them all.
"Ouch~"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the bright lights, his eyes widening slightly.
This light turns on too quickly.
In the past, the lamps in the palace required little eunuchs to light them one by one. Some tall lamps also required the use of stairs, but now, all the lamps were lit at once.
And these lamps are very bright. Under the irradiation of each lamp, every corner of the entire palace is illuminated. This is an effect that previous whale oil lamps, candles and the like could not achieve at all.
The special crystal lantern bloomed brilliantly under the illumination of the electric lamp, making the entire Qianqing Palace extremely bright and magnificent.
At this moment, not only Emperor Hongzhi was amazed by this electric lamp, but the guards, eunuchs, and maids in the palace were also attracted by the bright electric lamp. They all looked at the bright light and the illuminated Qianqing Palace.
"This is an electric light. I thought it was something when they installed it."
"It's really bright."
"Yes, it's really bright. This Qianqing Palace looks much more magnificent."
"No, it's too bright."
Everyone was talking quietly.
"This kid has always liked to tinker with weird things, and he really made something good."
"This electric light is really good, very bright, and there seems to be no smoke or smell."The maids all frowned, not knowing when their master would fall asleep.
Throughout the capital, Imperial Square, Qianqing Palace, and the Prince's Palace in the East Palace all lit up with bright lights, attracting the attention of countless people.
Early the next morning, as the morning sun rose, the shouts of newsboys began to spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.
¡°Sell newspapers~Sell newspapers~¡±
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Ming Dynasty invented the electric light, which is very bright and illuminates the dark night~"
¡°Sell newspapers~Sell newspapers~¡±
Control the big one and control the owl. "Da Ming Electrical Company officially launched electric lights. Last night the Empire Square was lit up all night, just like daylight."
With the shouts of the newsboys, newspapers were sold quickly, which also made countless people learn about electric lights and things related to electric lights for the first time.
At the same time, electric lights also quickly became popular in Ming Dynasty with the promotion of newspapers
