lady

Chapter 814 Makes sense

After a long time, the emperor raised his eyes and saw Ye Xinyan standing alone on one side, with a pitiful expression on his face, a smile flashed on the corner of his mouth, and he motioned to the chair beside her: "Sit down."

Ye Xinyan thanked her seat quickly, and sat down on the edge of the chair.

Immediately, a small servant held a cup of tea and put it beside her hand.When Ye Xinyan nodded her thanks, she heard the emperor above say: "You mentioned earlier that it makes sense to write patent protection into the law, but the progress is extremely slow. Recently, there are signs of stagnation."

The emperor's words did not seem to be asking for Ye Xinyan's opinion, but more like talking to himself.

And Ye Xinyan was even more speechless.Shouldn't this kind of thing be considered by a person in charge like you, the emperor, and an important court official like Han Yanhui?

She is a little girl, and she has done her best to explain this idea and the pros and cons she can think of clearly.As for whether the progress is smooth or not, it has nothing to do with her, right?

Ye Xinyan complained secretly, and the emperor continued: "The words you said to Prime Minister Han before are very enlightening, but if people insist on finding shortcomings and mistakes from inside, it will be difficult to fully stand up."

The emperor paused and continued to ask, "I wonder if you have any other suggestions?"

Ye Xinyan looked at Han Yanhui in surprise.When Han Yanhui visited An Guogong's mansion, she said something to Han Yanhui. It was because she didn't want to come forward, so she pushed Han Yanhui and asked him to use those reasons to promote the implementation of the patent law.

Unexpectedly, Han Yanhui did not hide anything, and truthfully said that those words came from her.It seems that this is still a very moral old man.

Ye Xinyan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Your Majesty, what is the difficulty of advancing?"

The emperor hesitated for a moment, then said: "Since history, scholars have assisted the emperor to manage major affairs in the world. Farmers and agricultural affairs are related to the world's food, clothing and stability. The hierarchy of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce has been verified since ancient times, and a new one is specially created. The law protects artisans, that is, puts money interests first, which is almost tantamount to elevating the status of merchants."

"If this shakes the status of scholars and farmers, the farmers in the world will not do farming, and the scholars will give up propriety, righteousness and shame, and all pursue profit. Then, what kind of loss will this world be?" When the emperor said the last sentence, It shows the wavering in his heart.

Han Yanhui and Jin Rong also looked at Ye Xinyan.There is no precedent, and no one knows what the prospects will be if it is implemented.But what the emperor said, that is, what the officials who opposed the patent said, no one can guarantee that it will not happen.

If it is true that because of patent protection, the common people are not doing their jobs properly, and their fame will not be able to survive decades later, then the officials of the current dynasty are the sinners of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The reason why the emperor appeared in King Yu's unfinished garden today was because he had heard that King Yu's garden had a beautiful view, and he wanted to relieve some of the stagnation in his heart.

Ye Xinyan did not expect that the failure to advance the patent protection law would be due to this reason.To be honest, Ye Xinyan has always been a small person. Even now, she is the granddaughter of An Guogong, and she is thinking about doing business to make money.She is not a superior, and she has never considered things from the position of a superior.

Modern people all read books, but what they read are not classics and historical books, and it is not classics and historical books that are widely used in society.In her opinion, these studies and thorough reading of classics and historical books are just to inherit the cultural heritage of a nation. For the status and strength of a country in that era, technology and military are the most important.

But how should she say this to the emperor?
Moreover, who said that the development of business will lead to people's livelihood?Back then, the Northern Song Dynasty had loose policies and developed commerce. It was really rich in that era, but... well, the poor emperor is a big reason, and emphasizing culture and restraining military is also an important reason?

Seeing that Ye Xinyan remained silent for a long time, the emperor felt even more uncertain, and asked, "Do you also think that going on like this will lead to chaos in the world?"

Ye Xinyan raised her eyebrows, and then took another look at Han Yanhui: "Your Majesty, forgive me for saying it bluntly, the original nature of the world is to pursue interests. After thousands of years, I haven't seen how the world is better or worse. Where are you going?" Think she's stupid?Or are these power-players just stupid?

"Cough cough cough..." Jin Rong coughed repeatedly and said, "Miss Ye, talk about business, talk about business."

Ye Xinyan blinked, as if it was a bit too much.

"Your Majesty, the little lady doesn't understand political affairs. Although she has a lot of thoughts, they are very chaotic. I don't know where to start."

"It's okay, you can say it one by one." The emperor dispelled the sense of disobedience in his heart just now, and nodded.

He wasn't afraid that Miss Ye had too many reasons and didn't know which one to say first.What he was afraid of was that her proposal that day was just a temporary one, but there was no real and reliable reason.

Ye Xinyan sorted out her thoughts, picked up the first thought and said: "As far as the little lady knows, the biggest threat to our Great Xia Dynasty and even previous dynasties came from the nomads in the North. Before that, it was the Yi Barbarians, the borders of the Central Plains will be harassed every year, and people will even seize cities and land.

Afterwards, the Xiongnu and Hu'er were also extremely powerful. If there were no Great Wall stretching to the north, what kind of situation would the land of the Central Plains be reduced to?These people don't study or farm, but they can detain and violate the border when they want.Your Majesty, if you don't have the value of force, you can't even protect your family and country well, so what kind of etiquette and shame are you talking about? "

Jin Rong breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ye Xinyan, and asked in a timely manner: "What does this have to do with patent protection?"

Ye Xinyan replied: "Patents protect clever gadgets and utensils, including weapons and agricultural tools. Private manufacture of weapons is not allowed among the people, but everything in the world is related. If the development of folk clever gadgets is very prosperous, it will definitely drive Weapon progress."

The emperor and Han Yanhui looked at each other, and Han Yanhui said: "The ancient sages said that if you have enough granaries, you know etiquette; Other temptations, if you are not satisfied with farming, what will the imperial court do to feed the common people?"

Ye Xinyan said lightly: "Forgive my ignorance, who is the most miserable person in the world? It is a farmer. A farmer plows in spring and harvests in autumn. One seed is planted in spring, and ten thousand seeds are harvested in autumn, but it really falls into the hands of farmers." How much food can there be? Their ancestors have been suffering from hunger and cold for generations, but their ancestors are still planting in spring and harvesting in autumn.

It doesn't make sense that they have endured such hardship for thousands of years, but because the imperial court promulgated a patent law, and if this law is actually implemented, there will be agricultural tools that are beneficial to farming, which will actually make farmers stop farming.

To put it bluntly, this is just an excuse for scholars to ignore the emperor, the court, and the people of the world in order to maintain their own top status. "

The emperor raised his eyebrows a little out of composure, this woman really dared to say anything.However, strangely, it seems to make sense.
