Queen Changsun and Concubine Yang walked up to Li Shimin.
Two eunuchs behind him were carrying a square box.
When he saw this thing, it was somewhat similar to a telegram.
But there is a huge cylinder above, smaller at the bottom and larger at the top, and somewhat spiral-like.
I couldn't help but wonder.
"This is what you are doing?"
Concubine Yang first said: "I and my sister were afraid that Your Majesty would be bored, so we brought this phonograph to relieve His Majesty's boredom."
phonograph?
Li Shimin suddenly remembered.
Isn’t that what Li Min will release?
It's the gramophone.
"What can it do?"
"If you can listen to music, your Majesty, please listen."
After Concubine Yang finished speaking, she ordered the eunuch to put the phonograph on the table.
He also ordered people to wind the clockwork.
This thing is driven by a clockwork, which means it doesn't need electricity.
Otherwise, how much electricity will it cost.
The electricity in a reservoir was almost drained by Li Min.
The other electrical energy he had left was of some use, so he couldn't use it all.
With the increasing number of electrical appliances.
He will also build another reservoir.
"Your Majesty, please listen!"
Concubine Yang said.
Empress Changsun just sat and said nothing, because she was the one who suggested that Li Shimin have more entertainment programs. After she mentioned it, Concubine Yang went to Li Min and asked for the phonograph.
Only Concubine Yang knew about its use.
She just followed.
Concubine Yang put a disk into it.
Li Shimin asked: "What is this disk?"
“It’s a vinyl record!”
"oh?"
"Without it, the gramophone cannot produce sound. With it, the gramophone can sing different sounds. And this vinyl record can transmit human voices into it. So, there are different choices. As long as there is a vinyl record, There will be sound, and each piece of vinyl record will not change after it is recorded. Even a hundred years later, the sound will not change."
Concubine Yang tried her best to introduce everything about vinyl records.
But what she can introduce is too limited.
She just listened to what Li Min said.
Therefore, the above introduction is somewhat weak.
But Li Shimin was shocked.
"What if my voice is recorded on a vinyl record for all the people to listen to? That must be very interesting."
It seems that Li Shimin found the magic use of the gramophone.
"Okay, but this needs to be done by Min'er!"
When Li Min was mentioned, Li Shimin fell silent again.
"If Your Majesty needs it, I can let him take me."
"Let's talk about this later!"
Li Shimin had no choice but to say this.
"Your Majesty, let's get started!"
"let's start."
Then, a burst of beautiful music came from the gramophone.
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help being shocked.
You can really have this sound.
The eunuchs and maids nearby were all shocked.
Everyone turned to look at the gramophone.
This little thing can actually detect sounds like musical instruments.
And the sound is still very diverse.
It's really hard to imagine that a small box can produce so much sound.
Li Shimin's thinking direction is different.
He looked at the gramophone as somewhat similar to a telegraph machine, but it had no place for input.
He doesn't understand.
This speaker is more like a phone speaker.
Sounds could be heard inside.
So can it be understood that the telegraph and the phonograph are the split of the telephone?
One has only input and one has only output.
"This stuff is good stuff!"
Li Shimin sighed after hearing this.
Then he added: "If you put this thing in the military camp and entertain the soldiers, it will definitely improve the combat effectiveness! It is also a good choice to comfort the soldiers' hearts!"
Li Shimin was very interested in this.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Queen Changsun said.
"Hahaha!"
Li Shimin was overjoyed.
It feels like he is invincible.
"By the way, how do you sell this gramophone?"
"This is unknown, but Min'er said that this phonograph will enter the homes of ordinary people. Therefore, I think it will not be very expensive and will become a common existence in people's livelihood in the future!"
"Entering ordinary people's homes?"
Li Shimin repeated.
"Yes!"
"Then how does he make money?"
Queen Changsun asked curiously.
Concubine Yang smiled.
"I also asked him, and he said, rely on vinyl records!"
After saying this, the two of them suddenly realized.
The gramophone is a constant, while the vinyl record is a variable.
This variable can keep changing and increasing.
People can't just listen to one record, it's just too boring to keep repeating it.
Therefore, you can only make money by recording.
This is the move Li Min wants to play.
Li Shimin laughed.
"That guy is really thoughtful! Yes, yes, when will this gramophone be released?"
"It may be produced before the Spring Festival, and it is expected to be 10,000 sets!"
"Concubine Yang!"
"exist!"
"I want to order a thousand sets, can you help me do it?"
"Okay, I think it's okay!"
"Okay, great!"
Li Shimin was overjoyed.
The more he orders, the happier Li Min becomes.
In the past, telegraphs were not mass-produced, so they made money.
This gramophone is different.
Since it needs to be promoted in large quantities.
Of course, the more you sell, the better.
Concubine Yang signaled.
"Your Majesty, please keep listening, there will be a surprise!"
"Um?"
Li Shimin was curious.
What's the surprise behind this?
"Is there any surprise?"
Queen Changsun was also puzzled.
What a surprise this could be.
It’s just that the music sounds good.
Then they continued to listen.
Until a male voice sounded.
They were all attracted by this male voice.
Li Shimin seemed to hear that the voice sounded like a person.
"This is……"
Queen Changsun also heard it.
"This is Zhi'er's voice. How did he..."
Both were shocked.
Because Li Zhi's voice is so nice in the record.
And with the soundtrack, the singing is even more wonderful.
What a shock.
And, it’s almost like being there.
They also heard Li Zhi's voice.
"What's going on? Why is Zhi'er's voice here?"
"Your Majesty, this is the record that Min'er produced for Zhi'er. We also have Bianji, and he also has records. This record can store half an hour's worth of music."
Now they have accepted the hour.
So when Concubine Yang spoke for half an hour, both Li Shimin and Queen Changsun understood.
"The sentiment is good. I didn't expect that boy to finally persevere."
Li Shimin said.
At this time he was relieved.
Why.
Because he has also found Li Min as his successor.
Therefore, even if the other princes couldn't do it, he didn't care.
As long as Li Min can take over his class.
The Tang Dynasty will only become stronger.
"Queen, please let Zhi'er come to the palace when he is free. I have something to say to him!"
"yes!"
Although I don’t know why Li Shimin wants to see Li Zhi.
But Queen Changsun still agreed.
Li Shimin was enjoying the gramophone.
Li Min was also reviewing the same gramophone with Li Yun and others.
