Let's say that Cheng Yaojin just stood in front of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was reading a book and listening to Wu Yi's song.
A laid-back look.
This is also his rare leisure time.
Cheng Yaojin said: "Your Majesty, do you know what oil is?"
Li Shimin put down the book.
He asked: "Zhijie, didn't you wake up? Where did the oil come from the stone? Return the oil!"
Cheng Yaojin added: "Your Majesty, I just came back from the Sixth Prince... I heard..."
When Li Shimin heard this, he became energetic.
"Oh? What do you know? Tell me quickly!"
In the past few days, phonographs have been selling like crazy, and records have been selling like crazy.
And Li Min kept spending money to acquire land.
It added a lot of money to the imperial government's finances.
This money can just offset his expenses in building the first hospital in the Nine Cities.
It also made him feel a little more at ease.
Sometimes, Li Shimin doesn't quite understand.
How much money does Shengtang Group have?
Why do I feel like I will never run out of money?
It felt like Li Min was about to bleed heavily, but the next day, he came back to life with full blood.
New things are created one after another.
Therefore, when Cheng Yaojin said that Li Min had something new here, he was full of energy.
"Oil! It's something called petroleum, Lingfu's petroleum!"
"What about the oil? Can it be eaten?"
Li Shimin was puzzled.
Is there really such a thing in this world?
Can it be eaten?
But the more bizarre something is, the more profitable it feels.
"I don't know. I saw their report, saying that something like oil was found around Ling Mansion. Specifically, the terms above are too technical, and I can't understand it at all."
Cheng Yaojin said so.
Apparently, Li Min was right not to want to see him.
The older this guy gets, the more he talks and the louder his mouth becomes. After something passes through his mouth, it is easy for the whole city to know.
Li Shimin said: "Then let someone go to Ling Mansion to check it out! What is oil? Who is suitable to go there?"
He was deep in thought.
"Your Majesty, don't you have a telegram?"
Cheng Yaojin said suddenly.
This statement made Li Shimin pat his thigh.
"That's right, you didn't say it. I actually forgot about it. Someone, send a telegram to Lingfu to find out what the oil is! If necessary, we will collect it too!"
After the telegram was distributed, he never used it.
There happened to be a telegraph receiving point near Lingfu.
Therefore, Li Shimin ordered the telegram to be sent.
After that, a telegram went down, and the Lingfu place became lively.
At the same time, the news was also spread by interested people.
Some thoughtful people moved directly to Lingfu.
Most of them are businessmen, these smart people will go wherever there is profit.
They thought that there must be something good there, otherwise the court would not go there.
Li Shimin was overjoyed afterwards.
"If that oil is a good thing, I will reward you well!"
Cheng Yaojin said at this time: "Your Majesty, what I want is actually very simple."
How is it simple?
Curious.
"Then come and listen!"
"Can I borrow the phonograph for a few days?"
When Li Shimin heard this, he thought it was wrong.
Why did Cheng Yaojin come to ask for his gramophone?
This isn't right.
"Don't you have a good relationship with him? Wouldn't it be nice to ask him to give you one? There are so many ministers, so you can borrow it for a day or two, right?"
He never thought about how Cheng Yaojin could do so poorly.
Cheng Yaojin then said:
"Your Majesty, I don't want to, this time is different from the past. In the past, I went directly to the tenement building, and the Sixth Prince would always leave me something, but this time, it is different, everyone has to grab it. This is treated equally! Many ministers
They don’t have one either. Take Fang Xuanling as an example, he also lacks one! I also bought a hundred vinyl records, but now there is no machine to play the records. It’s really a pity. Also
, Speaking of those ministers, after they got the gramophone, I went to visit them, and some of them even closed the door. I wanted to borrow it, but they directly refused and said that they could not borrow it. They also said that their seven aunts and eight aunts also wanted to listen, so I wanted to borrow it.
Please wait a moment, there is still..."
The more Cheng Yaojin talked, the more aggrieved he became.
The more you talk, the more you talk.
No wonder he went to Li Min to ask for the gramophone.
That’s how it turned out to be.
Yes, this time is very different from before.
This time the machine is for civilians. Unlike the previous ones, it started with noble officials. These are two different directions.
When Li Shimin heard this, he seemed to make sense.
But he didn't want to give the machine to Cheng Yaojin either.
"I want this machine to be useful. Master Sun said that I should have a good time and relax and not be too nervous, and this machine is undoubtedly the best way to relax. If I give it to you, who will be responsible for my body? You will
Tell me other conditions. I will definitely agree to your other conditions!"
"Ah...this..."
Saying this, Cheng Yaojin didn't expect it at all.
Just now Li Shimin gave himself a choice, what a liar.
I have so many records at home, do I have to keep them there until I buy the machine?
Seeing that Cheng Yaojin had stopped talking, Li Shimin said:
"As far as I know, the next batch will be on the market in half a month. How about you wait?"
Cheng Yaojin was helpless.
"I hope I can buy it! Otherwise, I'll pay more to buy it!"
Half a month?
Now the orders are three months away.
There are also people with deep pockets who directly order a thousand units.
Said it was going to be sold elsewhere.
Even if the group increases production capacity, I'm afraid it won't be enough.
Regarding this big sale, Li Min was a little surprised.
However, this surprise was also expected.
Li Shimin didn't want to talk any more about this issue.
So he said:
"Okay, let's go to Ling Mansion to have a look first, and we'll talk about the specific situation in detail!"
"But……"
"Okay, I still want to read a book!"
After finishing, Li Shimin picked up the book.
Cheng Yaojin was shocked.
That book turned out to be a novel.
The author is none other than Su Mei!
Unexpectedly, the entire Tang Dynasty is full of group things.
Even Li Shimin...
He sighed.
Then, Concubine Wei walked in.
"His Majesty!"
She bowed to Li Shimin.
Before Cheng Yaojin left, he also bowed to Concubine Wei.
"Oh? My dear, what's the matter?"
Li Shimin put down the book again.
"Your Majesty, Shen'er did not go to the tenement building to study today. I heard from the eunuchs that he is sick. Does Your Majesty know?"
Li Shen, the tenth son of Li Shimin.
He was born to Concubine Wei Guifei.
He was born in the same year as Li Zhi, but he was not as tall as Li Zhi.
My name, Liu Yu, once commented on him: He was young and eager to learn, but good at literature and history. Among the royal family, he was as famous as King Zhen of Yue. At that time, his nickname was Ji, Yue.
He went to Tanglou to major in literature.
He is also the only one among many princes to take literature as an elective.
Li Shimin also praised this point.
"Oh? Are you sick? Let the imperial doctor come with me to have a look!"
Li Shimin was shocked.
That's what he said.
"Zhijie, please come too!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
So a group of several people went to Li Shen's residence.
