Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 182 Patents
  What happened in the palace was widely spread.

Different factions have different reactions, but Zhu Xuan doesn't know anything about this. Even if he knows, he doesn't care. He just wants to do whatever they want. Now he takes Hou Xian with him and takes a leisurely walk along the Qinhuai River.

Yan Guan and the others were not with him.

With Zhu Xuan's current ability, he doesn't need anyone to protect him. He is much safer in Yingtian than in Southwest, and he doesn't need anyone to follow him all the time.

"His Highness did not agree to them just now, which was the most correct thing."

While walking, Hou Xian suddenly said.

Zhu Xuan asked curiously: "Why?"

Under normal circumstances, Hou Xian would not interfere in matters within the royal family. He was surprised that he took the initiative to say so at this time.

Hou Xian explained: "In the tea shop just now, there was a man in black clothes sitting behind Mr. Huang and the others. I saw that he was introverted. He just sat there, not drinking much tea, concentrating on something, as if he was listening to something. The servant felt that he It’s Jin Yiwei.”

"That person is Jin Yiwei?"

Zhu Xuan had some impression of that person, but he couldn't feel anything.

For a master like Hou Xian, he can feel that the opponent's strength is not weak.

Zhu Xuan said: "Grandpa Huang probably knew that Mr. Qi and the others took the initiative to come to me, so he sent Jin Yiwei to follow him to see what Mr. Qi and the others wanted to do."

He thinks that's the reason.

After getting along with each other for so many years, Zhu Xuan can be sure that Grandpa Huang will not distrust him.

Probably to guard against Huang Zicheng's two sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks.

However, he had no intention of agreeing to the civilian officials' support.

Zhu Xuan added: "After we come back, there will definitely be a lot of rumors about me in the DPRK."

Hou Xian thought for a while and analyzed: "Your Majesty definitely doesn't want this kind of rumor to appear too much. There is no one to choose from the civil servants. In the end, His Highness was chosen. There will definitely be unity in the future. Your Majesty cannot see that the ministers of the DPRK and China are too united." , civil servants and military generals will not allow it."

Zhu Xuan looked at Hou Xian in surprise. He had not thought of this problem before. Hou Xian could see the problem so quickly and said with a smile: "You are not bad, you can think so much."

"Damn slaves!"

Hou Xian quickly lowered his head, bent over and said, "This slave is actually very stupid. She was just thinking wildly."

He naturally knows the taboos in the palace. As a eunuch, he cannot be too smart.

Even if you are really smart, you can't show it.

For example, Yunqi, when around Zhu Yuanzhang, generally would not talk nonsense or show off his cleverness.

"It's okay!"

Zhu Xuan felt that what he said made sense, but he would not argue too much with him, so he continued: "Let's go to Daming Bookstore!"

Coming to the streets near the Imperial College, and walking a little further inside, you will find the Daming Bookstore.

The bookstore now is much larger than before.

Zhu Song took over the nearby shops. Now the store is bigger. This is the area of ​​​​Jinyiwei. If he wants to take over other shops, it is just a matter of one sentence. Jiang Wei must be very cooperative.

Go into the bookstore.

"The little grandson is here!"

When Yin Chengwen saw Zhu Xuan, he quickly came out to greet him.

Zhu Xuan asked: "Is Uncle Twenty here?"

"His Royal Highness King Han is inside." They arrived at the back hall.

Zhu Song is checking the accounts, calculating the recent income, arranging how the income will be distributed, etc.

"Little Yunxuan, finally came to see me."

When he saw Zhu Xuan come in, Zhu Song threw the account book aside, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "Little Yunxuan has grown taller, almost taller than me, and has become stronger. He also got tanned in the southwest. .”

Zhu Xuan smiled and said: "As I grow up, of course I have changed a lot, but Uncle Twenty has not changed much."

Zhu Song said: "What other changes can I make? But little Yunxuan has indeed grown up, his tone of voice is becoming more and more like an adult, and his temperament... seems to be different too, which is good!"

It seems that going to war can temper people and make it easy for them to grow.

However, Zhu Song had no intention of going to war, and was still comfortable managing the bookstore in Yingtian. He added: "Not long after Xiao Yunxuan came back, he came to see Uncle Twenty. I received his wishes."

Zhu Xuan said: "I came to see Uncle Twenty because I actually have another idea."

"what idea?"

"Does Uncle Twenty know that Grandpa Huang helped me establish the Science Pavilion?"

"Of course I know. When it was established last year, many scholars gathered outside the Science Pavilion and shouted in opposition. In the end, my father asked Jin Yiwei to clean up a few thorns before it could be completely established."

Zhu Song nodded.

Confucianism will directly oppose new learning that suddenly appears, fearing that it will shake its exclusive position.

After thousands of years of development, Confucian thought has long been distorted.

After listening to Uncle Twenty's words, Zhu Xuan could feel how much pressure the emperor's grandfather had to establish the Science Pavilion. He said: "Science is invention and creation. It can make weapons and many other things, such as improving looms, improving... Farm tools, etc., right?”

Zhu Song has a deep understanding of what science has brought, and he agreed: "Xiao Yunxuan's science can change the Ming Dynasty. If the transformed farm tools and other things are presented to his father, it can also improve people's livelihood and make the people better." Abundance.”

Zhu Xuan shook his head and said: "But I don't think dedicating it to Grandpa Huang is the right approach."

Zhu Song asked in confusion: "If I don't dedicate it to your grandpa Huang and transform it, what else will it be used for?"

In their understanding, these things that are beneficial to people's livelihood must be handed over as soon as possible in exchange for credit.

"This is why I came to see Uncle Twenty today."

Zhu Xuan changed his explanation and asked: "Uncle Twenty, do you still remember the copyright?"

Zhu Song said: "Of course, remember, our copyright is still in use today. Every month, many people come to our Daming Bookstore to register copyright, which can also protect the interests of many book writers."

Those who write books and find that their books have been pirated can report the copyright to the authorities. Basically, they will sue one by one.

The significance of copyright was of great significance in the early days of the development of Ming books.

"I came up with something similar to copyright, called a patent."

Zhu Xuan explained: "Patents are the copyright of inventions and creations. For example, I improved the loom, and the improved things were the result of my hard thinking for a long time. You can use this technology to register a patent at our Daming Bookstore."

Zhu Song asked again in confusion: "What's the use of this?"

“Just like protecting the author’s copyright, protect the inventor’s technology.”

Zhu Xuan continued to explain: "My suggestion is that the improved things should not be dedicated to Grandpa Huang, but used to sell them, both as commodities and patents. Using a loom as an analogy again, there is an improved After the loom appeared, I bought the patent from the inventor, acted as an agent for production, and then sold it to farmers who needed looms. The money sold would be shared with the patent holder. If the patent was not authorized, , just make this loom, whether it is a merchant or a craftsman who makes it privately, you can report it to the official and pay a fine."

"No, no, no!"

Zhu Song could understand Zhu Xuan's model. With the current situation in Ming Dynasty, it was impossible to implement it. He shook his head and said: "Xiao Yunxuan, you are getting more and more courageous. Daming Bookstore is considered a business scope. We convinced our father to sell it." It’s a book again, so it’s not a big problem, and it can even be run by the government. Later, my father also reformed some businesses, and a lot of things were run by the government, and I could make some money, but that’s it! Your patented operating model is a complete business. , fully participate in business, merchants are one of the groups that my father hates the most!"
