Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Chapter 76 The Messenger Faster Than a Horse

Thinking of this, the haze of her day was gone, and she once again cared about the gadget in Zhu Tao's hand.

"Brother Tao, what is the use of this thing?"

Zhu Tao smiled: "Do you still remember the bamboo tube between me and you?"

"I remember, it can transmit sound over a long distance!"

Zhu Tao smiled, "The real name of that thing is a telephone receiver, which is used to transmit sound, so the two of us can be far apart to transmit sound."

"So it is."

Shen Wan'er suddenly realized that there was about 100 meters between the two of them when they were speaking.Without that microphone, you can't hear what the other party is saying.

Suddenly understanding this truth, Shen Wan'er immediately became excited.

"Is that thing still there? I still want to play."

Zhu Tao shook his head, "I'll talk about that later, this time I have a more advanced one, and I want to try it with you."

"Is this thing supposed to talk to you too?"

Zhu Tao shook his head: "You shake this one first to light up that little light, and then I'll tell you how to play."

So I taught her how to send and listen, and saw her put on the headset.

So she clicked the transmitter next to her, and at the same time, a beeping sound came from Shen Wan'er's side.

She opened her eyes wide: "This is amazing! Is this a new type of musical instrument? Can it play mountains and rivers?"

Where did all this go, Zhu Tao shook his head with a wry smile.

This thing has only one tone, one drop, one click.It's hell to be able to pop up mountains and rivers.

"Actually, this thing is not for playing the piano, but for delivering messages."

"Send a message?"

"The combination of long and short sounds can express countless words. If you want to learn it, I will tell you."

Shen Wan'er was really interested in this, and looked at him with wide eyes.

Zhu Tao asked someone to prepare letterhead and a pen, quickly wrote a few lines on the paper, and handed it to Wan'er after finishing writing.

"You write down these two poems first, and I will tell you how to use them later."

Shen Wan'er took the paper and took a closer look, only to see four large characters written on it: "Bayinziyi".

But there are two poems below, I can't help but read them gently.

"Liu Bian is begging to be humble, and when Bota is fighting for the sun, Yingmeng's words are joyful, clapping his hands and telling the king, what a strange poem, what does this mean?"

"Leave it alone and watch the second one."

"Spring flowers are fragrant, autumn mountains are blooming, the guests sing praises to the gold cup, and the solitary light shines and burns the silver vat. In the eastern suburbs, cross the West Bridge, the sound of the rooster reminds the sky, and the plum blossoms cover the ditch."

I felt that these two poems were not only plain and unreasonable, but also that they didn't rhyme, and they didn't understand what they said all day long. After reading it, they bit their lips, and couldn't help giggling.

"I finally know that brother Tao can't do anything."

Zhu Tao asked very curiously, "What am I not good at?"

"Make a poem, giggling! This poem is simply too...too funny, far worse than your Water Margin!"

After she finished laughing, Zhu Tao said: "This is not poetry in the first place, this is my latest invention of the method of transmitting sound through empty valleys."

"Voice transmission in the empty valley? How do you play this?"

"Wan'er, do you understand Fanqie?"

Fanqie is a phonetic notation method in ancient Chinese, where two characters are used to mark a character.Take the initial consonant of the previous character and the final and tone of the next character, and give phonetic notation to a character.

Ancient rhyme books and dictionaries all use this method.

Wan'er was educated by her mother since she was a child, she is both civil and military, how could she not understand?So nodded.

The first poem you read: "Liu Bian Qiqiu low" is actually the initial consonant of Fanqie, while the second poem is the final consonant of Fanqie.

When using it, you need to find the corresponding initials in the first poem, and then find the corresponding finals in the second poem to synthesize a character, and then use the number of clapping to indicate the tone.

When using it, you don't need a pen, you can spread what you want to say just by clapping your hands. "

Wan'er opened her eyes wide and looked at him.

"Is it really so magical?"

Zhu Tao smiled, suddenly clapped his hands together for a while, paused for a while, then took nineteen consecutive shots, and finally took another shot.

Then she smiled and asked Wan'er, "Lingyu, what word do you mean?"

Wan'er picked out the first Liu character and the No.19 silver character from the two poems, and finally deciphered that the tone is flat.

I lowered my head and pondered for a while, "Is this a Lin character or a Ling character?"

In the pronunciation at that time, Lin and Ling were indistinguishable.

Zhu Tao smiled without answering, and continued to clap his hands.Wan'er didn't ask any more questions, and silently memorized the number of his clapping hands.

Then he said silently: "Yu, Xu, Si... Yu, ah, what you just passed to me is Lingyu, my name!"

(The initial consonant of and is specified as "wu", which is the ancient way of expressing the zero initial consonant.)
Zhu Tao nodded and continued to clap his hands.

After he finished filming, Shen Wan'er blushed.

It turned out that the addition of these words was: "Lingyu, so beautiful."

Zhu Tao cleared his mind.

"Lingyu, don't you want to learn how to use this transmitter? Come on, let me teach you. In fact, we should make this method of sound transmission in the empty valley into a beeping sound and send it out, so that even if we don't Face to face, you can also know each other’s thoughts.”

Lingyu's eyes widened: "Really? Can it be any distance?"

Zhu Tao nodded.

"Even in the ends of the earth, as long as you have one in your hand and I have one in my hand, it's fine."

So he racked his brains, and encoded the words with the meaning of eight-tone characters into the Morse coding method, and taught Linger.

Ling'er is also a very smart person, he learned it in half an hour, and then went to his room with a transmitter in his arms.

Zhu Tao thought she was going to practice by herself, so he smiled dotingly and continued to do other things.

So he called his confidant old Tang over again, and told him about the meaning of eight-tone characters.

Old Tang opened his eyes wide: "Master, where did you learn such a brilliant method?"

Zhu Tao smiled smugly: "Do I still need to learn from others? I researched it all by myself."

Fortunately, he traveled to the Hongwu period, so no one would break through his diorama.

But now Old Tang admired him very much. This man was born in the army, and he was very careful about the things that marched and fought.Learned in a while.

So Zhu Tao trained him to send and receive reports. After a short time of training, Old Tang was already able to use them freely.

Zhu Tao asked him to take one to the entrance of the village, and whenever he found his father and cousin coming, he would report to him in time.

Old Tang was also quite curious about this new thing, and excitedly took the telegraph and ran to the front guard post.

At this moment, the red light of the electric explosion machine suddenly flickered, and he quickly put on the headset, only to see the beeping beeping incessantly.

When I took notes, it was the following passage.

"Brother Tao, you're also pretty."

Zhu Tao laughed, and played this little game with her for a while before sending Shen Wan'er away who was becoming more and more reluctant.

Lu Liangqing's management has become more and more strict recently. Before her mother came to Beijing, Shen Wan'er still had to listen to her father.
