"Mr. Charforth, are you planning to travel or do business in Daliang?"
"I'm... going to do business..."
A Dutch businessman explained in poor Chinese with difficulty.
"Then have you brought the list of goods and inspection procedures you sold? Let me take a look..."
“Yes, yes, are all here…”
…………
From entering the lobby to the aisle, the three of them glanced at it quickly and followed Chi Guo's footsteps to the second floor.
"Prince! Someone is here in Daliang—!!"
Although the King of Chu has told Chiguo countless times that you only need to knock on the door, Chiguo stubbornly thought that this was very unruly and insisted on using the method of notification...
"Let them come in-!!"
"yes!!"
Then Chiguo slowly pressed the door handle, pushed the door and walked in...
"Small!!"
"Caomin!!"
"Meet the King of Chu--!!"
It is obvious that both the middle-aged man, the soldier and the translator were a little nervous...
The King of Chu smiled slightly. He had been here for more than four years and almost forgot that he was the prince...
"Stop being too polite, get up and sit..."
The King of Chu said, pointing to the sofa beside him, and the three of them turned their faces and looked at Chiguo.
Chiguo was slightly stunned and shouted in a loud voice: "Look at what I did!? The prince asked you to sit down and sit down!!"
"Oh! Yes yes!"
"Thank you, the prince!!"
The three of them carefully found a seat and sat down one after another. As soon as the King of Chu raised his hand to hold the teacup, the three of them immediately stood up with their beaks...
"You don't have to be so reserved. Since Qihua can arrange for you to come to see me, it means there are no outsiders here. You have told you about the purpose of your trip and Qihua's arrangements..."
The three of them nodded, sat back slowly, and then looked at Chiguo again...
"Are you three brains sick?! I can still be outsiders!??"
"Yes, don't look at him. He is like me, so don't avoid it."
"Prince..."
Just now, Chi Guo was yelling everywhere with a broken voice, and his eyes turned red as soon as he heard this...
"You can hold it back for me! I have to talk about the serious business!"
"Hey, hey, yes!"
The King of Chu sighed slowly, looked at the three of them again, and said with a smile: "Tell me."
"yes!"
There were obviously many soldiers. As soon as the King of Chu gave an order, he immediately sent the suitcase in his hand to the coffee table, opened the box, and gently pushed it to the King of Chu.
"Your Highness the King of Chu, this was brought by the commander who specially asked the little one to bring, called the telegraph machine... And the little one will also follow His Highness the King of Chu from now on, because only the little one can do the operation and translation work of this telegraph machine. Of course... If your highness has a capable candidate, the little one can also teach him."
The King of Chu nodded calmly and asked softly: "So...what is this thing for?"
"The telegraph! It's...it's the message that I sent! The coach who is in Daliang can receive the message as soon as possible, and the coach can also know the instructions and messages that the coach sends at any time..."
"Oh~~~" King Chu suddenly realized, then looked at the soldiers with a serious look on his face...
"Did you drink today? How much did you drink?"
"Drinking?" The soldier was stunned by the question, turned his head and looked around, and replied with a certain expression: "I didn't drink today..."
"Then you... have fever? Or hysteria!?"
"No, not all..."
"Hiss..." King Chu took a deep breath, and even his eyebrows frowned...
"Then why are you talking nonsense?"
"I didn't talk nonsense..."
Before the soldiers could explain it clearly, Ji Guo walked up to him in two steps, picked up the soldier's collar! He shouted loudly: "Say! Who sent you here!!!"
"Ah???" The soldiers were all frightened at the time, looking back and forth between the King of Chu and the Kingdom of Chi in a panic look, and replied in a low voice with trembling lips: "Master, the commander sent me here! Your Highness, Princess Kaiyuan, Daliang, Prince Yan!"
"Nonsense! From the beginning, you guys didn't say the truth! You are still talking nonsense with me now! I think you won't cry until you see the coffin!!"
After a moment of ruthlessness, Chiguo suddenly raised his right arm and was about to swing their big mouths, but was stopped by the King of Chu who was still thinking about it...
"Ziguo, wait a moment... I have something to ask him!"
"Also ask? Is it necessary to ask? He was so silly and talk nonsense! If you don't beat me first, where can you tell the truth..."
While talking, Chiguo made a move to fight. The King of Chu had to raise his tone and his tone became a little colder...
"Zhiguo...you don't listen to my words..."
The soldier's face was almost scared. He closed his eyes and was ready to be beaten, but suddenly he felt his collar loose and his feet fell to the ground again...
"Prince forgives the crime!! I know that I am wrong with the country!"
When the soldier opened his eyes again, Chiguo had already started to work, bent down, and slowly retreated to the corner of the room. A seven-foot man still looked aggrieved, which made the soldiers stutter...
"Do you know who made the thing you mentioned?"
The King of Chu slowly narrowed his eyes. He wanted to judge the authenticity of the matter based on the soldiers' answers. After all, what he said just now was so incredible to him! But if it was created by Qi Hua himself, it would be a different matter...
"This was made by the head coach and hundreds of craftsmen from the Jinan Manufacturing Factory! First, the battery was made from manganese ore and sulfuric acid, and a hand-crank generator was installed, as well as the sending button and spring, Moss password..."
"Stop..." King Chu slowly raised his right hand, interrupted the soldier's narrative, and continued to ask with a suspicion: "Although I don't understand what you said, if it was made by Qihua, it would be understandable. It's just... why do you, a little soldier... know so much? Can you give a reasonable explanation..."
"Oh!!" The soldier suddenly realized and quickly explained: "Prince Shengming, every soldier in charge of sending newspapers has been in Jinan for two months of training. The coach asked us to understand every component and principle of the transmitter so that we can solve it ourselves if some minor failures occur!"
"Well...that's true," King Chu nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, then looked up and pointed at the transmitter and said, "Then you send a letter to Qihua for me now, and ask... Do you still remember Mei Niang's birthday?"
This is a typical test...
After all, Mei Niang was adopted by the old King of Chu. Not to mention Yan Bing, even if the King of Chu himself doesn’t know, it depends on how the other party answers!
Unexpectedly, when the soldier heard this, he stammered...
"This...I can't send it...Prince!"
"Why can't you post it? Didn't you just say that the distance between thousands of miles is coming in a flash? Why did you change your mind again?"
