Chapter 489 The Xiahou sisters.
Radio and loudspeakers are definitely high-tech of this era.
After traveling through time for more than ten years, I finally created something decent.
He Tiantian called his men to bring up the loudspeaker first.
It’s very big, like a big bellows.
But the sound amplification effect is very great, it can be amplified several times. In a large venue with thousands of people, speaking is effortless!
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey..."
Ye Kun was as excited as a child and shouted into the loud speaker:
"This is a small step for Pang Jia, Sun Yi and He Tiantian on the road of scientific progress, but it is a big step in human history. I declare that the loudspeaker will be named Tiantian Loudspeaker, so that history will always remember our great Mr. He Tiantian!"
He Tiantian blushed, covered her mouth and laughed, "How can a woman be called sir?"
"You don't understand this. Women who have made great contributions can be called Sir, which means they are not inferior to men. For example, our teachers Wen Axiu, He Tiantian, Wei Caiqin, and Liu Hongyu can all be called Sir!"
Pang Jia shouted, "Brother Emperor, can you name the transmitter after me?"
"absolutely okay."
Ye Kun nodded: "From now on, the transmitter will be called Pangjia transmitter. The radio code we use will be called Sunyi code!"
In fact, the radio code used by Ye Kun was Morse code, which had nothing to do with Sun Yi.
Sun Yi smiled and said, "What about Ding Ding and Senior Sister Gongsun?"
"Gongsun Erniang's ventilation stove, Ding Ding Avenue!" Ye Kun laughed:
"It's so easy to leave your name in history. In future textbooks, I will write all of your names and add portrait illustrations for you so that the whole world will know you!"
The achievements of Gongsun Erniang and others can indeed be included in textbooks.
Pang Jia and Sun Yi laughed broadly: "Then we need to find the best artist to draw us more handsomely!"
"A word is settled!"
Ye Kun agreed readily.
As they were talking, Huang Ye came to pay a visit with Xiahou Jie and Xiahou Zhu.
The two girls are indeed beauties, radiant with beauty and in the prime of youth.
Just a little timid, as if very scared.
Huang Ye guided them and asked them to meet Ye Kun.
"I pay my respects to His Majesty..."
The two girls came forward and knelt down to worship.
“No need to bow…”
When Ye Kun opened his mouth, he forgot that the loudspeaker was in front of him, and his voice was like thunder.
The Xiahou sisters shuddered with fear, their whole bodies shaking violently.
"Excuse me."
Ye Kun turned off the loudspeaker, helped the Xiahou sisters up, and looked at them carefully.
Now that he is the emperor, he can look at beautiful women without worry and stare at them without restraint.
After a while, Ye Kun sighed:
"Your father is really cruel. He sent two such beautiful daughters to me. I am already in my early thirties. I am afraid that I will waste your youth and let you down."
"It is my blessing to serve the emperor."
"What a blessing! You sisters are like the sacrifices on the altar. You are the victims. In your hearts, you may not be willing to stay by my side."
Ye Kun asked the Xiahou sisters to sit down and said:
"I intend to match you with other young talents so that you can live a normal life. But all the civil and military officials in the court have agreed. Moreover, I am afraid that your father will think too much. I can only arrange for you to stay in the palace temporarily and we will talk about it later."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not abandoning us. We will serve you and the Empress wholeheartedly."
"No need to be polite. Our rule is that there are no rules." Ye Kun smiled and comforted:
"You sisters, don't be afraid or restrained when you come here. If you need anything, just go to Eunuch Huang. If I'm free tomorrow, I'll accompany you to visit the new capital of Zhuo County.
This is the new city we spent a lot of effort to build. It is very different from the Zhuo County you used to live in."
After Xiahou Chang retreated to the Central Plains, he also lived in Zhuo County for a short period of time.
However, the old city of Zhuo County has been completely demolished and no trace of it can be seen.
Xia Houjie whispered, "Your Majesty, we sisters saw it when we entered the city. The new city is very grand and has many things we have never seen before."
Ye Kun smiled and pointed at the loudspeaker on the table:
"You haven't seen this sound amplifier before. Pang Jia, sing a song on it and let everyone listen."
Pang Jia was not shy and started singing into the loudspeaker: "The vast ocean laughs, and the waves surge on both banks..."
This song, "Swordsman", was taught to the band by Ye Kun last year. It is one of the latest pop songs and is very popular in Central Plains and Zhuo County.
The Xiahou sisters looked at the loudspeaker with curiosity.
Ye Kun smiled at He Tiantian and said, "Go find some new and interesting gadgets and give them to the two girls so that they won't miss home here."
He Tiantian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. There are so many fun things in the Science and Technology City. I will pick some for the two brides."
The Xiahou sisters thanked Huang Ye and followed him back to the palace.
The next morning, He Tiantian brought two of the most exquisite pocket watches, two telescopes, and two compasses.
Ye Kun invited Jiang Yourong to take the Xiahou sisters to tour the capital together.
After leaving the inner city and arriving at the East City, Jiang Yourong pointed at the tall bell tower and said to the Xiahou sisters:
"My two sisters, this is the big clock tower in East City. There is also one in West City. There is a big clock on each of the four sides of the clock tower. When you are in the city, you can see the time just by looking up.
We have such large bell towers in Luoyang, Xiangyang, Jinling, Chengdu and other places.”
Xiahou Jie nodded and said, "I have only seen clocks the size of a bowl. Those were bought from the emperor by merchants and given to my father."
Xiahou Zhu said enviously, "I didn't know that clocks could be made so big and so small."
The clock on the big bell tower is larger than the largest water tank.
However, the pocket watch that He Tiantian gave to the Xiahou sisters was only half the size of a palm.
Ye Kun smiled and said, "When your father sees the clock, will he say that I am not doing my job properly?"
"No." Xia Houjie didn't dare to look at Ye Kun and said in a low voice:
"My father said that the emperor's wisdom is like a demon, and it is rare in the history. His defeat at your hands is God's will."
Xia Houzhu added: "My father liked pocket watches very much and carried them with him every day to check the time. He also sent craftsmen to study it, but they couldn't make it."
Ye Kun sighed:
"Your father... was also a great hero, but he was different from what I thought. If he could treat the people well and not kill people indiscriminately, I probably wouldn't have dealt with him. When he was fighting for the throne, your father massacred many cities and killed more than a million people."
The Xiahou sisters lowered their heads together, not daring to speak.
"Forget it. Your father's mistakes have nothing to do with you."
Ye Kun changed the subject and pointed forward: "The Dongcheng Market is in front of us. Let's go and take a look."
There are several markets in Dongcheng, both open-air and covered markets.
On the road, someone was pulling a rickshaw, speeding past.
This was also designed by Ye Kun. It has the same style as the rickshaws of the Republic of China, except that it does not have rubber wheels.
But it has shock-absorbing springs, so it is still very comfortable to sit on.
In order to ensure the sanitary environment of the capital and maintain the roads, riding horses is prohibited in the inner city of the capital, so rickshaws are necessary to facilitate the lives of the people.
Ye Kun also designed a lightweight handcart, which made it more convenient for ordinary people to go shopping.
Xia Houjie was interested in the road surface. Looking at the cement road surface, he asked:
"Your Majesty, the stones on the road are so big and all the same color. Where did you find them?"
"This is cement, everyone calls it artificial stone."
Ye Kun smiled: "This thing is like mud. It can be made into any shape. After a few days, it will harden and become as hard as stone."
