The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 895 The Appearance of the Phonograph and Li Yin's Way of Making Money

Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang walked up to Li Shimin.

The two eunuchs behind him carried a square box.

When he saw this thing, it was somewhat similar to a telegram.

But there is a huge cylinder above, the bottom is small and the top is big, and there are some spirals.

Could not help but wonder.

"You are this?"

Concubine Yang first said: "The concubine and my sister are afraid that His Majesty will be bored, so I brought this phonograph to relieve Your Majesty."

phonograph?
Li Shimin suddenly remembered.

Isn't that what Li Yin is going to release?
It was the gramophone.

"What can it do?"

"You can listen to music, please listen, Your Majesty."

After Concubine Yang finished speaking, she ordered the eunuch to put the phonograph on the table.

He also ordered people to wind up the clockwork.

This thing is driven by clockwork, that is to say, it can use no electricity.

Otherwise, how much electricity will it cost.

The electric energy of a reservoir was about to be drained by Li Yin.

He still has a little use for keeping other electric energy, so he can't use it all up.

With the continuous increase of electrical appliances.

He will also build another reservoir.

"Please listen, Your Majesty!"

Yang Fei said.

Empress Changsun just sat and didn't speak, because she suggested that Li Shimin have more entertainment programs, and after she mentioned it, Concubine Yang went to Li Yin to ask for this phonograph.

In terms of use, only Concubine Yang knows.

She just followed along.

Concubine Yang put a platter into it.

Li Shimin asked: "What is this disc?"

"It's a vinyl record!"

"Oh?"

"Without it, the gramophone can't make a sound. With it, the phonograph can sing different sounds. And this vinyl record can put the human voice into it. So, there are different options. As long as there are vinyl records, There will be sound, and every piece of vinyl record will not change after recording, even after 100 years, the sound will remain the same.”

Concubine Yang tried her best to introduce everything about the vinyl record.

But what she can introduce is too limited.

She just listened to what Li Yin said.

Therefore, the above introduction is somewhat weak.

But it shocked Li Shimin.

"If it is said that the vinyl record records my voice for Wanmin to listen to? It must be very interesting."

It seems that Li Shimin has found the magical use of the gramophone.

"Okay, but this is where I get it!"

As soon as Li Yin was mentioned, Li Shimin fell silent again.

"If His Majesty needs it, I can let him record it."

"Let's talk about this later!"

Li Shimin had no choice but to say so.

"Then, Your Majesty, we are about to begin!"

"let's start."

Then, there was a burst of beautiful music from the gramophone.

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help being shocked.

It really can have this voice.

The eunuchs and maids on the side were all shocked.

They all turned their heads to look at the gramophone.

This little thing can actually detect the sound of a musical instrument.

And the sound is very diverse.

It's really hard to imagine that a small box can produce so many sounds.

Li Shimin's thinking direction is different.

He saw that the phonograph was somewhat like a telegraph, but it had no input.

He doesn't understand.

This horn is more like a telephone horn.

Voices can 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 thing is a good thing!"

Li Shimin sighed after hearing this.

Then he said: "If you put this thing in the barracks and entertain the soldiers, it will definitely improve your combat power! 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 in the world.

"By the way, how do you sell this gramophone?"

"I don't know about this, but Min'er said that this phonograph will enter the homes of ordinary people, so I think it will not be very expensive, and it will become a common existence in the people's livelihood in the future!"

"Into the homes of ordinary people?"

Li Shimin repeated.

"Yes!"

"Then how does he make money?"

Empress Zhangsun asked curiously.

Concubine Yang smiled.

"I also asked him, and he said, rely on vinyl records!"

Having said that, the two suddenly realized.

The phonograph is the constant, the vinyl record is the variable.

This variable can change and increase all the time.

One can't just listen to one record, it's just too tedious to keep repeating.

Therefore, relying on records to make money.

This is the chess that Li Yin wants to play.

Li Shimin laughed.

"That kid is really thoughtful! Not bad, not bad, when will this phonograph come out?"

"It may be produced before the Spring Festival, and it is estimated to be [-] sets!"

"Concubine Yang!"

"exist!"

"I want to order a thousand sets, can you help me do it?"

"Yes, I think I can!"

"Okay, great!"

Li Shimin was overjoyed.

The more he ordered, the happier Li Yin was.

The previous telegrams made money because they would not be mass-produced.

This gramophone is different.

Since it needs to be widely promoted.

Of course, the more you sell, the better.

Concubine Yang signaled.

"Your Majesty, please continue to listen, there will be surprises!"

"Ok?"

Li Shimin was curious.

What's the surprise behind this?
"Is there any surprise here?"

Empress Changsun was also puzzled.

What a surprise.

But the music is good.

Then, they continued to listen.

Until a male voice sounded.

They were all attracted by the male voice.

Li Shimin seemed to hear the voice very much like a person.

"This is……"

Empress Changsun also heard it.

"This is Zhi'er's voice. Why does 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.

It's shocking.

Moreover, this is simply like being on the spot.

They also heard Li Zhi's voice.

"What's going on here? Why is Zhi'er's voice here?"

"Your Majesty, this is the record that Min'er gave to Zhi'er. There is also Bianji, and he also has a record. This record can store half an hour of music."

Now they have accepted the hour.

So when Concubine Yang spoke for half an hour, both Li Shimin and Empress Changsun understood.

"It's good to be brave. I didn't expect that kid, but I finally persevered."

Li Shimin said.

At this moment, he was relieved.

why.

Because he also found Li Yin as his successor.

So, even if the other princes can't do it, he doesn't care anymore.

As long as Li Yin can take over his class.

Then Datang will only become stronger.

"Queen, let Zhi'er come into the palace when you have time, I have something to say to him!"

"Yes!"

Although I don't know why Li Shimin wants to see Li Zhi.

But Empress Changsun still agreed.

When Li Shimin was enjoying the phonograph.

Li Yun and Li Yun and others were also reviewing the same phonograph.
