"Shan Zhang, hurry up!"
"Hurry, I'm so excited, get up quickly!"
Muzzy and confused, Fang Er was woken by the voice and groggily put on his clothes before walking out.
The sky was already bright. Li Tai paced excitedly in the courtyard. Seeing Fang Er emerge, he rushed forward and grabbed him, pulling him outside.
"Slow down, what's wrong?"
"Hahahaha, telegram! Telegram! This king has successfully replicated it!"
Li Tai said as he ran without slowing down.
Fang Er looked at him in surprise, "The telegraph, you really replicated it?"
"Yes! The first one has been replicated successfully, and we just tested it. It's fully functional!"
He pulled Fang Er to the small courtyard where he and Li Ke lived. In the courtyard, two telegraph machines were placed on a stone table. More than ten trained guards were fiddling with the machines.
The "didi didi" buzzing sound constantly emanated from the transmitting machine.
And in the earpiece of the other transmitting machine, the same sound rang out almost simultaneously, with a steady rhythm.
"Can they operate it?" Fang Er asked the guards in surprise.
"Replying to Shan Zhang, they are the first batch, thirty in total, and almost all of them can operate independently now."
Li Tai said with a hint of pride, as these people were all taught by him.
Seeing Fang Er and Li Tai enter, the dozen or so guards immediately stopped their work and stood up to salute.
"Greetings, Duke, greetings, Your Highness the Prince of Wei."
After returning the salute, the two walked to the table. Fang Er compared the two radio sets for a moment, then took a lightbulb candy from his pocket and handed it to Li Tai.
"Well done! Here, this is for you."
"Hehehehe, thank you, Shan Zhang!"
Li Tai received it with both hands, smiling broadly at the candy ball wrapped in transparent plastic paper, and carefully put the candy into his pocket.
No matter how extraordinary his intelligence, he was still a child with almost zero resistance to sweets.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Er took out the walkie-talkie again, tuned it to Li Shimin's channel, and called out directly.
"Calling Second Uncle, calling Second Uncle, this is your eldest nephew, respond if you receive, ooh wah!"
Soon, Li Shimin's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"Second Uncle receives, Second Uncle receives, eldest nephew please speak, ooh wah!"
"Please Second Uncle to come to West Courtyard 13, immediately, right now, I have something good to show you, ooh wah!"
West Courtyard 3 was the designation for the courtyard where Fang Er was currently located.
There were currently 14 courtyards completed, with another 10 under construction. The main buildings of the first and second courtyards were also in the stage of awaiting commencement.
Fang Er planned to name each courtyard after all of them were completed. Therefore, the completed courtyards were numbered starting from West 1, West 2, East 1, East 2, from north to south.
Li Shimin's current courtyard was West 15. Between his courtyard and Li Tai's West 13 was West 14, where Li Xiaogong, Li Ji, and Fang Xuanling lived.
In West Courtyard 5, Li Shimin, Empress Changsun, and Changle were playing Dou Dizhu when they heard Fang Er's words and immediately threw down their cards.
"If this kid says it's something good, it must be extraordinary. I'll go take a look. You guys play on!"
After saying that, Li Shimin bolted out of the courtyard.
As for image, he had already gone to a brothel with his brother-in-law and nephew. What other image did he need?
As he ran, he used the walkie-talkie to call Li Xiaogong.
"Old Nine, all of you quickly gather at West Courtyard 13!"
When he passed West Courtyard 4, Li Xiaogong and the others were rushing out, putting on their clothes. Without mentioning what it was so early in the morning, such an urgent summons made everyone think someone had attacked.
Seeing Li Shimin, Duke Li Jiu asked with concern, "Your Majesty, has something happened?"
"Good news! Fang kid has come up with something good again, let's go and join the fun!"
With that, Li Shimin led the way, with the dukes following closely behind.
Soon, they arrived at the small courtyard of West Courtyard 13. The guards were startled. As intelligence personnel, they knew very well who lived in the mansion.
But it was the first time they had seen so many important figures in front of them, so they hurriedly saluted.
"Little ones greet Your Majesty, greet Your Highnesses, greet Dukes!"
"You may be excused! Where is An Zhi? Dare to ask me to move here. If you can't amaze me, then you'll have to wait to marry Changle in an eight-bearer sedan chair!"
Li Shimin deliberately put on a stern face and reprimanded Fang Er.
Li Tai was almost stunned by this. Was this still his father, who was hopelessly doting on his daughter?
This was the first time he had heard this, so he looked at Li Shimin in confusion and asked.
"Father, you're going to betroth Changle to Shan Zhang?"
"Go away, children shouldn't interrupt!"
Li Shimin pushed him aside and then looked into Fang Er's eyes and continued, "Where is it?"
Li Tai stood to the side, looking at his father with wronged eyes, like a bullied child.
Fang Er smiled and pointed to the table, "Here, it's this!"
"With this, all areas within the Great Tang can be contacted."
"A thousand-mile transmission, it's just a blink of an eye!"
"Hiss~~~"
Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong, Li Ji, Fang Du, Wei Zheng, and Chai Shao all sucked in a breath of cold air simultaneously, looking at the two inconspicuous small boxes on the table in disbelief.
"This? Can this contact Shubo and Zhijie?"
Li Shimin was very shocked!
In the past, Fang Er had said he could create a thousand-mile transmission device, but this one in front of him was even more powerful than what he had said!
It could communicate over thousands of miles, which was simply incredible!
"Can it be proven?"
After being shocked, Wei Zheng pointed at the telegraph and questioned.
"Why not!?" Fang Er smiled slightly and said to Li Tai.
"Qing Que, have Zhang Tian prepare the helicopter."
"Yes, Shan Zhang!"
Li Tai couldn't wait to show off in front of his father. He picked up the walkie-talkie Fang Er had placed on the table and contacted Zhang Tian.
Fang Er then looked at Wei Zheng and smiled.
"Duke Wei, since you want proof, someone must go to witness it. Please make the trip yourself."
"I will arrange for two operators to accompany you. They will operate, and you will observe. When we return, we will compare the content of the communication."
"Then I shall not be polite!"
Wei Zheng did not think anything was amiss and readily agreed, then looked at the guards, "Who among you will go with this official?"
Fang Er casually pointed to two of them.
"The two of you, accompany Duke Wei on the helicopter to Panjin.
"It's three hundred li from here. What do you think, Duke Wei?"
"Hahaha, good! Three hundred li is enough!"
With that, Wei Zheng bowed to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, this old official shall depart now!"
Then he got up and walked out of the courtyard. The two guards pointed out by Fang Er quickly picked up the transmitting machines and followed.
