Leng Yu appeared via Lin Yi's phone projection, astonishing the officials and making them wonder if he was an Immortal. They marveled at the nation's prosperity under the new Emperor and Empress, noting Leng Yu's elevated position as Chancellor.

That’s precisely why Lin Yi initially treated it like a camera and gave it to Leng Yu, and precisely because of this reason, Leng Yue’s phone directly connected to the network and could be used.

Unfortunately, besides Leng Yu, no one else there had a phone. None of the officials under him had a phone either, and Lin Yi’s plan was simple—take some time to visit there and bring some phones over.

Of course, should these phones be supplied to the Capital City first?

It’s not that they would be pushed back, but today it was simply impossible to manage. Because of this reason,

Lin Yi planned to bring a batch of phones next time he returned. Although the quantity of phones brought this time was substantial, distributing them would still be quite tight since Lin Yi now had not only the Capital City of Dayou but three other capitals.

For this reason, almost everyone needed a phone, especially since in South Africa, there were his own industries,

and on the island, he also had his tourism business. Where wouldn’t phones be necessary?

Especially for those exploration teams, which of them wouldn’t need a phone?

Ever since the satellite was in place, their efficiency could significantly increase, and many detours could be avoided. With direct positioning via the phone, they could find places they previously didn’t know about.

This is definitely a product beyond its era, a technology beyond its era.

As Leng Yu and Lin Yi’s conversation ended, the gaze of the gathered officials returned. Yet, they couldn’t hide their excitement. When they looked at the phone in their hands, doubts began to arise. Could this thing in their hands have such functions?

Just as they were pondering this, suddenly, the phone of the Minister of the Ministry of War rang.

The next moment, he saw an avatar flickering on the screen—it was none other than the current Emperor. Looking at the Emperor on the platform, who was smiling while watching him, made the Minister of the Ministry of War’s hand tremble. He dropped the phone but quickly realized and followed Lin Yi’s instructions to answer the call.

In an instant, Lin Yi’s figure appeared before them, and not only did Lin Yi’s figure appear, but what shocked them the most was the Minister of the Ministry of War’s figure also appeared in front of Lin Yi, displayed on Lin Yi’s phone, seemingly floating right there.

This act frightened the Minister of the Ministry of War out of his wits. Goodness! How could his spirit be captured by the Emperor?

Promptly making him kneel in terror, cold sweat continuously seeped from his forehead.

After all, the ancient people’s understanding was limited in this era. They could never have imagined the current situation.

For this reason, the Minister of the Ministry of War was quite frightened, and seeing this situation, Lin Yi helplessly shook his head. Although he had explained it before, this group simply did not want to believe in science, insisting on believing in supernatural theories, which wasn’t something easily overcome. It was a matter of the era’s framework.

However, in the subsequent time, Lin Yi naturally couldn’t let them continue with their wild imaginations. He explained the matter carefully, telling them that it was the function of "Eyes and Ears from Thousands of Miles Away,"

allowing face-to-face communication from thousands of miles away—such a miracle prompted all the officials to acclaim it as a divine act. Naturally, by the time the court session ended, nearly everyone had more or less learned about the phone’s functions. Because of this reason, their faces were filled with shock and delightful surprise.

Some officials couldn’t wait to find their friends and made phone calls.

Even when two people were face-to-face, their phones still displayed each other’s images.

If such a scene were placed in later times, it would definitely be ridiculed, but now? It was no laughing matter. They were all extremely proud.

Walking through the Imperial City, seeing the envious eyes of eunuchs and soldiers, they were all smug, especially when they left the Imperial Palace, and the citizens, witnessing such scenes, immediately knelt down in fright,

mumbling as they thought they had seen true gods, believing that the Emperor had invited the gods down!

This behavior made the civil and military officials laugh heartily. Well, who thought the Emperor’s device would have such wonderful usage, even raising their prestige, how could they not be thrilled?

All the way, some officials didn’t even take a sedan chair or ride a horse, openly walking down the street, while their phone remained alight, displaying the images of other officials—a strange act that quickly became popular throughout the Capital City, spreading through streets and alleys, throughout the entertainment quarters.

In the brothels where songs were sung, officials often spoke of these events, causing a wave of trends, where everyone knew the device was a divine artifact bestowed by the Emperor.

Yet most people had only heard of it without seeing it, which made them yearn for a phone deeply.

Without exaggeration, many wealthy merchants were wondering if they could somehow get one too.

No matter the cost, they were willing to pay. Because of this reason, following real estate, it spawned the second weapon of mass appeal. Everyone wore a look of shock and excitement, yearning to possess one.

According to the circulated news, these devices were "Eyes and Ears from Thousands of Miles Away," allowing face-to-face chats from miles apart. How could they not be astounded?

Especially for those merchants wandering in foreign lands, upon knowing such artifacts, they sought desperately. If they owned such a divine device, wouldn’t it mean they could communicate with people in other countries far away?

This would certainly bring a qualitative leap to their business.

Yet they all knew this device was the Emperor’s gift to the ministers, so they understood the ministers would never sell them, regardless of the offered price.

Thus, they began searching around the Capital City, asking in the Emperor’s opened shops whether they could obtain the "Eyes and Ears from Thousands of Miles Away."

As time passed, nearly every shop received countless inquiries desiring the device, and such news naturally reached Lin Yi’s ears.

Upon learning of the news, Lin Yi remarked that it was normal, but he never expected these ancients to be so bold, especially the merchants, knowing these were divine gifts from him, yet still trying to obtain them.

Nonetheless, it was a good thing, showing their mindset was slowly opening, being subtly guided by him.

It’s the foundation for a nation’s development. Once their thinking is no longer bounded, that’s when the entire nation is ready to soar.

For this reason, Lin Yi calmly had news released.

Informing the public that these "Eyes and Ears from Thousands of Miles Away" could be sold externally.
