The next day, Li Shimin got up early. When he got up, he didn't go to the morning, but picked up the phone and ordered a meal.
At this time, he was almost crazy.
The first thing I do when I wake up is order food.
Moreover, the ordering counter of Shengtang Group seems to be open 24 hours a day.
Because last night he got up and ordered food in the early hours of the morning because he was hungry.
In particular, he asked the guards to pick up the meal and take it back, and then went to bed after eating.
In his words, life now is simply too convenient.
Moreover, these meals are not available in the palace.
At this time, he was very satisfied.
The imperial cook in charge of his diet in the palace has also been very distressed recently.
He couldn't figure out why the emperor didn't let him cook.
Is there something he didn't do well?
But there was no order from the palace to let him leave.
He has been having a very bad time these days.
But it's hard to figure it out. What the emperor wants is not something that a servant like him can guess.
Let's talk about the meal Li Shimin ordered, and it arrived in less than twenty minutes.
After the guard took it, he started eating it directly.
He even didn't forget to order one for each of Empress Changsun, Concubine Yang and Concubine Wang and send it to their bedrooms.
Recently, the time for going to court has been postponed a lot, so after he finished eating, the ministers had just arrived at the palace.
After he finished eating, he went to the court.
There hasn’t been anything particularly big going on in the morning lately.
It is now an era of peace, and internal and external troubles have become less and less common.
Goguryeo and Silla seemed to have been quiet for a while since their last invasion of Baekje was thwarted.
It is also because fighting a war costs a lot of money, especially the longer the time goes on, the more expensive it becomes.
Without these things, being an emperor would naturally be extremely easy.
Therefore, in less than half an hour, the morning service was over.
And after he finished his morning class, he returned to the phone again.
The phone now is his treasure.
He is not the only one in Chang'an.
The telephone really brings convenience to people.
This is why everyone is hooked on the phone.
But this is also temporary. In the future, this phone will be integrated into life.
Everyone is not surprised.
And there will be something new to replace it.
At this time Li Shimin called Dai Zhou over to see him again.
Dai Zhou originally wanted to go to Shengtang Group to talk about bulk purchasing over the phone.
The front foot has not yet taken half a step out of the Daming Palace.
But he was called back by Li Shimin.
He wondered why Li Shimin asked him to come back.
When he waited, he asked: "Greetings to Your Majesty! I don't know why I asked you to come here."
"Dai Zhou, you came just in time. Yesterday, Shengtang Group's phone business had an extra customer calling for food. Have you checked how much they sold yesterday?"
It turns out that Li Shimin wanted to know this.
Regarding this, he has not made any special statistics.
But it can be explained from other aspects.
"I don't know, but as far as I know, the number of phones sold yesterday was around 100,000!"
Dai Zhou said.
"One hundred thousand? One hundred thousand taels! Plus the phone bill..." Li Shimin was a little shocked.
But thinking about it, this seems to be reasonable.
If phones were so expensive in the past and could actually sell 100,000 units, that would be really awesome.
At the same time, he also had to think about it, were there really so many rich people in Chang'an?
If that's the case, then you have to take advantage of them.
But it is different now, because the cost of telephone calls has dropped, and basically everyone can afford it. It depends on whether it is necessary and whether it is useful.
"Yes, more will be added today! And we worked overtime yesterday to install more than 50,000 units. The rest will be installed at a rate of 50,000 units every day."
This is due to the fact that Li Min laid out the telephone lines in the entire Chang'an in advance. There are main lines and branch lines. Those in wealthy areas are given priority, while those from poor households reserve seats first, because in the future Chang'an will not distinguish between these, as long as It's the people of Chang'an who want everyone to have access to telephones.
"I didn't expect that this phone could be sold for so much. I remember that Tianzhu spent a lot of money to get the phone!"
"The same goes for Tubo, they paid a lot of price!"
Dai Zhou responded.
Then he added: "If the people of Tianzhu and Tubo know that our Tang Dynasty phone only costs one or two silver and has more advanced functions, then they don't know how they will feel!"
When he said this, Li Shimin laughed.
"This boy finally did not disappoint me in this aspect. People of the Tang Dynasty should turn to the Tang Dynasty, not to outsiders! This is the man of the Tang Dynasty!"
It can be seen that Li Shimin is still very satisfied with Li Min.
"Your Majesty is still wise. He has taught the Sixth Prince how to behave since he was a child!" Dai Zhou followed Li Shimin's words.
"Of course, I have never lost when it comes to teaching children!"
When Li Shimin said this, he suddenly felt uneasy.
The other children were okay, but Li Chengqian made him feel ashamed.
This is his eternal pain.
At the same time, he thought of Li Chengqian.
"I wonder how that kid is doing!"
Li Shimin changed his subject and came to this point again.
Dai Zhou is a smart man.
I immediately understood who Li Shimin was talking about.
"The eldest prince heard that he married a wife and had children in Tianzhu and was living a very good life. It was all because of the relationship between the sixth prince and him that he lived a good life. It was a mistake for him to go against the sixth prince at that time. Unexpectedly, the sixth prince ignored the past grudges. It’s really admirable!”
"Is there any latest news about him recently?"
Li Shimin asked again.
"I heard that Tianzhu is not stable. This is the latest news our people have received."
"Is this so?" Li Shimin was actually a little worried.
However, Li Chengqian was in another country, so far away from Tianzhu, and it was impossible for him to see him.
Even if you want to find him back, King Tianzhu may not be interested in you.
It might be possible to let Li Min come forward.
It's just that there's a price to pay.
Now Li Shimin will not beg Li Min anymore.
The requirement is also to let others go.
"Yes, Your Majesty, but Your Majesty, don't worry. The eldest prince will definitely contact Her Majesty the Queen if something happens. I see that Her Majesty the Queen seems to be in a good mood recently, so she should be fine."
Li Chengqian would contact Empress Changsun alone, which is also a secret that has not been passed down.
Li Shimin knew it, and everyone knew it.
Whether Li Chengqian is living well or not can be known by looking at the mood of Queen Changsun.
"Yeah, it's fine!"
Li Shimin's voice gradually became quieter.
"By the way, I don't know what new features Shengtang Group will launch today!" Li Shimin changed the topic.
This turned a bit fast, which caught Dai Zhou off guard.
But he also responded: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Shengtang Group will not release new features until nine o'clock!"
Li Shimin looked up at the clock. It was almost nine o'clock.
"That'll be soon!"
Watch the second hand keep moving.
Their eyes were fixed on the clock, not moving at all.
