Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1870 Patents
Irrigate with a steam engine?

Digging a well with a steam engine?

Mining with a steam engine?

Printing with a steam engine?

They already had a deep understanding of the role of the steam engine, so they couldn't help but imagine how much change the steam engine would bring?

Incredible!

Among other things, using a steam engine to dig a well for irrigation, doesn't that mean that there is no need to fear drought in the future?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin even began to breathe quickly, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay, Su Cheng, you must urge them to speed up the progress of the development, and strive to develop all the things you mentioned as soon as possible, which is beneficial to the country People!"

Su Cheng slightly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I would like to obey His Majesty's will."

Li Shimin was very happy when he heard this: "Today is really a worthwhile trip. I used to think that it was absurd for you to spend so much money and energy to build the academy, but today I completely changed my mind. You did the right thing. worth!"

When he built the college and recruited students, many people in Chang'an city gossiped, not only some ministers thought he was stupid, even the emperor didn't agree.

However, those who gossip now regret it, and now even the emperor realizes that he is short-sighted.

Those gossips also reached Su Cheng's ears, but Su Cheng was not angry.

Now that things have turned around, Su Cheng doesn't feel too happy.

Because, only Su Cheng himself understands the significance of being an academy. The current achievements are great in the eyes of Li Shimin and others, but insignificant in the eyes of Su Cheng.

"Whether it is a teacher or a student of the school who has made great contributions to the development of the steam loom, I will reward you!" Li Shimin said happily.

The reason why he generously lowered the rewards was because the appearance of the steam loom was indeed a great thing that benefited the country and the people; on the other hand, he also wanted to use this to increase the influence of the imperial court on the school, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

After visiting the school with great interest, Li Shimin and the others reluctantly left.

At the beginning, they dismissed the school, but now they are full of interest.

However, it was already too late, because the academy had already been established, and they had already lost the opportunity to participate.

Li Shimin and the others left the school, but the news of the emperor's arrival had spread like wildfire, causing a great commotion in the school.

After all, in this era, the emperor has unparalleled prestige.

The arrival of the emperor has brought great encouragement to the students and teachers of the school and made them full of confidence in tomorrow.

With the departure of Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, and Cheng Yaojin, the news that the college had developed a steam loom quickly spread.

Ordinary people don't know the significance of the steam loom, but knowledgeable people immediately realize the extraordinaryness of the steam loom.

Everything that is combined with a steam engine will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Others were still inquiring about the news, but Wang Qingyun went straight to the academy to applaud the horse.

Now he has regarded himself as Su Cheng's brother-in-law, so it was very natural for him to come.

Entering the campus, Wang Qingyun immediately felt the vibrant atmosphere.

Although it was not the first time he came to the academy, he still felt deeply in his heart. He had never felt this kind of vitality in any other place.

Therefore, he also regretted it very much. Why did he hesitate at the beginning? Why didn't he follow suit?Why do you question Su Cheng's vision and talent?

So much so that he only provided some help to Su Cheng at that time, and did not expressly express that he would take a share. Now thinking about it, he really regrets it.

In fact, when the improved steelmaking technology came out, he had already realized it and started to regret it.

Now that I hear that the steam loom is coming out, I dare to regret it even more.

He felt that when he returned to the tribe, he would definitely be reprimanded.

However, the most important thing in front of us is the steam loom.

May I ask who doesn't wear clothes in this world?

Some don't eat meat, some don't drink alcohol, and none don't wear clothes.

Therefore, steam looms definitely have unlimited business opportunities.

After seeing off the emperor and his party, Su Cheng returned to the office and was checking the reports of various departments and classes when he heard a knock on the office door.

"Come in!"

With a click, Wang Qingyun unscrewed the door and walked in, poking around, and said with a flattering smile, "Are you busy?"

Before this time, Wang Qingyun felt distressed, why Wang Shengnan was his sister instead of his sister.

If Wang Shengnan was his older sister, he would definitely call her brother-in-law right now.

It's a pity that Wang Shengnan is his younger sister, and if he is called brother-in-law, it would seem a little overbearing.

"Your ears are really good!" Su Cheng shook his head helplessly. Although Wang Qingyun didn't say anything, he had already guessed Wang Qingyun's intention.

Wang Qingyun smiled and said: "The news has already spread quickly. The birth of the steam loom is a sensational event, and it will spread throughout Chang'an in a short time, and the threshold of your Duke's Mansion will be broken by then. "

Su Cheng shook his head and smiled, "It's not that exaggerated. It's a sensation, but there shouldn't be many people interested."

To be precise, there should be many interested, but there are not many people who are qualified and have the courage to wait for the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

"This is a steam loom. The weaving speed is so fast, who wouldn't want it? I heard that the college will sell the steam loom. Is it true?" Wang Qingyun asked impatiently.

Su Cheng nodded with a smile and said: "Of course it is true. The college spent so much manpower and material resources to develop the steam loom for the benefit of the world, not for the purpose of putting dust in the college. Of course, there are conditions for buying a steam loom. of."

Wang Qingyun smiled happily when he heard it, as if he had already got the steam loom.

Although the purchase of steam looms is conditional, although he does not know the specific conditions, is this a problem for them Taiyuan Wang?

Not to mention that their Taiyuan Wang family has strong financial resources, in view of Wang Shengnan's face, it is impossible for Su Cheng to make things difficult for their Taiyuan Wang family.

So he was already happy without even listening to the conditions. He was bound to win the steam loom.

However, Wang Qingyun still asked curiously: "What is the condition?"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "It is necessary to sign a treaty, keep the technology confidential, and not spread it to the outside world. In fact, I want to promote patent protection."

It is easy to understand the confidentiality of technology, Wang Qingyun asked curiously: "What does patent protection mean?"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "For example, the steam spinning machine is a patent. As long as the patent is applied, anyone can apply to me to use it, but it needs to pay a fee..."
