¡°Your Majesty, it¡¯s your voice I heard here too!¡±
On the other end of the phone, Fengxi also said quickly and respectfully.
"Well, not bad, not bad!"
"How are you doing in Tianjin these days?"
Zhu Houzhao nodded happily, and then asked Fengxi to report the situation in Tianjin in a decent manner.
"Your Majesty, Tianjin is developing very well. This year's tax increase is almost 5 percentage points compared to last year."
¡°The growth in population is also very good, with an increase of almost 4 percentage points compared to last year.¡±
"I am currently thinking about how to maintain Tianjin's long-term prosperity and rapid growth. One of the key points is to transfer low-yield industries in Tianjin, such as the textile industry and cement industry, to other places in our country. Tianjin is the focus. Develop automobile manufacturing, ship manufacturing and commerce."
Fengxi began to report the situation in Tianjin to Emperor Zhengde in detail.
This is a very rare opportunity, which is equivalent to being able to report your work and future plans to the emperor alone. If you perform well, it is possible to improve in minutes.
Therefore, Fengxi was also very good at seizing the opportunity to report back to Zhu Houzhao in detail.
Liu Jin on the side was able to get some information from their conversation.
"This Fengxi is really a talent, he knows how to upgrade industries!"
After listening, Liu Jin was quite impressed by Fengxi. The Ming Dynasty had developed the textile industry for decades, and the cement industry was indeed a low-value industry.
For places like Tianjin, there is no need for such an industry. Upgrading is the trend. Otherwise, Tianjin¡¯s development will slow down, and it is hard to say that it may be surpassed by Songhu.
"Your Majesty, what I mean is that some industries with low output value, such as the textile industry and cement industry, can be transferred to some relatively undeveloped areas. This will not only promote the development of these undeveloped areas, but also provide benefits to the general public. Cities free up space to develop high-value industries.¡±
"Well, not bad, not bad."
"You guys still have ideas, do it well, and I will promote you if you do it well."
After Zhu Houzhao listened to the report, he nodded with satisfaction. When Fengxi heard this, his whole body felt as if he had been given a shot of blood, and he was very excited.
??The emperor is talking about gold these days. If you work hard, it will not be difficult for you to get promoted.
In addition, Liu Jin and Wang Shouren are still friends at the same time, so this promotion is definitely stable.
"Yes, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's high expectations!"
Fengxi also replied quickly.
"Okay, that's all for today."
After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he handed the phone back to Kuang Xiong, and then said: "Tsk, this phone is really magical. There is a distance of more than 300 miles between Tianjin and Beijing, but we can actually talk in real time through the phone, and even the sound is still the same." the same."
"Your Majesty, the principle of this telephone and the gramophone are actually similar. They both make the coil produce sound through the switching of current. Everyone's voice is different, and the sound produced is also different. It can be completely simulated."
"But there is a big difference between it and the telegraph, that is, telegraph communication relies on the propagation of electromagnetic signals, while it relies on telephone lines to connect calls."
¡°So although a phone can make real-time calls across a long distance, the first thing it needs is a phone line. Just like electricity, only places with phone lines can have phone services.¡±
"There is no need for a telegram, as long as both parties have telegraph machines."
Kuang Xiong explained to Zhu Houzhao in detail.
"This is already very good. It still has many advantages and can make up for the many shortcomings of the telegraph."
Zhu Houzhao touched his chin and said after listening.
Telegraph has many advantages, such as the cost is relatively small, there is no need to set up special lines, and it can also carry out specific encryption, making it difficult to crack, etc.
But telegraphs also have shortcomings. For example, radios are sometimes difficult to receive. Secondly, although telegrams can be encrypted, they can also be deciphered. And telegrams are emitted from all directions, which means that they can be attacked. received.
??If you use the telephone to supplement, the communication can be faster, more convenient and more efficient, but the telephone also has the disadvantages of the telephone. Just setting up the line will cost a lot of money, and the problem of exchange has not been solved yet.bsp; "Just hang up now, and then I'll call Wang Shouren and see what Wang Shouren is doing!"
Zhu Houzhao hung up the phone happily, then picked up the phone and said, "Call to the home of Cabinet Minister Wang Shouren."
"yes!"
On the other end of the phone, the operator heard this and quickly connected to Wang Shouren's home phone line.
In Wang Shouren's house, Wang Shouren, who is already in his fifties, has been very diligent recently, because after his lungs were cured, his health became much better, and his concubine at home gave him a son, which made Wang Shouren Also very happy.
Because Wang Shouren never had a son, he had to adopt a son from his brother. How could this adopted son be as good as his biological son?
This old man was very happy to have a son. He doted on his concubine very much. After his wife died of illness, he straightened her up. At this time, Wang Shouren was having a baby with his young wife and was preparing to have more children. A son.
Who would have known that Zhu Houzhao's phone call came at this time, which made Wang Shouren extremely unhappy, but there was no way, who could let himself be a minister.
"Haha, Lao Wang, it's me!"
"I didn't disturb your good things, did I?"
As soon as Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth, Wang Shouren was completely speechless.
