Side story 42. Imperial wind instrument. (7)

Following the advent of the phonograph and the introduction of the radio, popular culture truly became ‘popular culture’.

And this popular culture is no longer exclusive to the empire.

Since the time of the Italian Unification Wars, imperial culture had already become established as a culture enjoyed by the upper classes in Europe and the Middle East.

And, as time passed, even those who were not the upper class began to enjoy the culture of the empire.

Thanks to this, it later became common for the empire’s famous entertainers to be invited to tour Europe and the Middle East to perform.

Thanks to this, as I said, Milwi used it to good effect.

In this context, the advent of the phonograph and the phonograph shook the world.

Of course, other countries were stimulated by this and their own popular cultures sprouted and took hold.

However, the evaluation standard was still ’empire’.

As a side note, the advent of the phonograph and the recorder created a new market.

It was called the ‘home appliance market.’

The beginning of this home appliance market was the telephone.

* * *

As telegraph lines spread throughout the empire, the empire created telegraph bureaus to manage them.

Soon the telegraph office’s operations were extended to include the post office.

In a way, this was putting the cart before the horse.

Looking at the cases of other countries, it was usually the case that telegraph was added to the postal service.

However, this was also a butterfly effect brought about by the MSG flavor.

The luminescent communication device created by artisans using incense was recognized for its usefulness and a communication network was established throughout Joseon.

Once a stable communication network was established, the aristocrats and merchants also discovered the usefulness of this luminous communication network.

-For quick and easy text messaging with just one or two sentences, the GSM network is the best!

As the petitions began to arrive, Kim Jeom smelled money there.

“Wait a minute… This looks like it could be worth some money. Let’s see… .”

Kim Jeom, who was continuing to ponder, soon encountered a large reef.

“It’s for military use, since the words are fixed, there was no big problem in assigning symbols, but the words used in the military are several times, no, dozens of times more… What should I do? I’ll have to spend the whole day looking for symbol tables… Isn’t that boring?”

Kim Jeom, who had been thinking about this and that, suddenly had a bright face.

“Hunminjeongeum brings good luck! With this, I don’t have to look up the symbol list one by one, so there’s no need to waste time! Jihwaja, great! I can hear the sound of money coming in!”

Kim Jeom quickly wrote up a proposal and submitted it to Sejong.

“What a great idea! As expected!”

Sejong, who was satisfied with Kim Jeom’s proposal, immediately put it into practice.

After that, the North Korean military operated two types of luminescent communication devices.

Although they were said to be of two types, they were not completely separate devices, but rather had different colored glass on the front.

By the color of these lights, the signalman could immediately tell whether it was for military or civilian use.

Because of this past, the telegraph came before the postal mail, and the postal mail was added later.

Although it was much later than the iron horse, with the spread of automobiles powered by internal combustion engines, the imperial court also began handling letter delivery.

Before then, people would ask peddlers traveling through markets across the country or villagers on the road to write letters for them.

However, as the number of people leaving their hometowns and settling in other places increases, this too has become no longer an easy task.

Merchants who smelled money started businesses to do this, but many of them went out of business.

It was due to reliability issues and the uneven pricing structure.

Accordingly, the imperial court stepped in and began to carry out systematic work.

Accordingly, the imperial court expanded and reorganized the telegraph office into the ‘Postal Agency’.

Accordingly, new words such as postage stamp and postal mail were created.

It was a funny coincidence.

In history before the intervention of the fragrance, the Korean Empire created and named an office to handle postal affairs.

Hong Yeong-sik, who was in charge of this work at the time, created names such as post office, postage stamp, and postage stamp instead of Japanese words such as post, postage stamp, and post office, and received permission from King Gojong.

When the telephone was invented, the military was the first to use it.

-A telephone is much more useful than having a messenger run between the outpost and the headquarters.

-It is useful even in the event of a war, as long as the front lines are not cut.

Once their usefulness was confirmed by the Imperial Army, the government agencies soon began to use the telephone extensively.

And then the second and third Kimjeom appeared.

“Do you think this will be worth some money?”

Soon after, telephones began to appear in the imperial palaces as well.

The construction of the telephone alone went surprisingly smoothly.

This was because telegraph lines had already been installed in towns of a certain size, so it was only necessary to add telephone lines to the telephone poles where the telegraph lines were installed.

The problem was the cost of installing telephone poles and running wires from the post office in the town to the houses where the telephones were installed.

In the Empire, this cost was charged to those who applied for a telephone.

Because it was a considerable expense, installing a telephone meant making a living.

Thus, the telephone became a symbol of the wealthy.

Because of this symbolic meaning, houses in the village that were said to spit began to competitively install telephones.

As telephones spread among the general public, new jobs emerged.

It was the ‘telephone operator’.

The telephone was something that ‘everyone wanted but couldn’t easily get’, but there were those who weren’t happy about it.

A high-ranking official in the central government, or in old terms, a high-ranking official above the rank of party chief.

“Your Majesty, there is a call from the palace.”

“Ugh… At this hour?”

It was because of the calls from the palace that came at any time, even when I was staying at home.

“If only we could send an eunuch like in the old days, we could have time to collect our minds and bodies!”

“These are not objects, they are chains, chains!”

Following the telephone, the phonograph and the recorder soon became symbols of the ‘house of wealth’.

However, their heyday soon came to an end.

The reason for this was the explosive increase in the number of buyers as the starting cost was much lower than that of a telephone.

This was because as ‘economies of scale’ were realized, the price dropped rapidly, diluting the image of it as a ‘luxury good.’

And then, the ‘receiver (television)’ pushed them out.

Starting with the award-winning appliances, refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners took their place as ‘luxury appliances’ over time.

At this time, a house that had ‘1 box, 2 machines, 2 cold storages’ was considered ‘good for living’.

-1 container, a container for storing hats or other high-quality hats.

-2nd unit, telephone and washing machine.

-2 cold, refrigerator and air conditioner.
