Chapter 542 The Blending of Patent Technology Capital and Power
After arranging the countermeasures, Yang Reform listened to some things about the war before leaving the platform.

The platform was very close to the Qianqing Palace, and Yang Reform had only a few steps out of the platform when he remembered an important matter.

"Big Companion, when will Fang Hongchan arrive in the capital?" Yang Reform asked suddenly. There are too many, too hot, and if you don't pay attention, you will get a big event, or that kind of shocking event.

Originally, if you want to go fast, you can arrive in Beijing in at most one and a half months by sea, but do you dare to go by sea?No one dares to leave, even Yang Reform doesn’t want the money to be transported by sea, the money is too important to Yang Reform, if it is really taken away by someone, Yang Reform has no place to cry, even if no one takes it away, in case If God got it into the sea, Yang Reform could only cry, so he didn't dare to go by sea.

Originally, Fang Hongzan wanted to go overland and transport it in a horse-drawn cart. This was the safest way, and he was not afraid of sinking to the bottom of the sea or the bottom of the river. Come to think of it, it takes thousands of carts to pull it. With such a large number of carts, the ones in front have traveled dozens of miles, and the ones behind have not yet left the house. Although this seems the safest, in fact, it is the least safe. It's safe, even if it is guarded by thousands of brocade guards, I dare not say that there is no problem at all.

Therefore, in the end, we still have to take the Grand Canal, which is much simpler. Put the silver on the boat and transport it like grain. However, in Fang Hongchan's view, the Grand Canal is not safe. It was walking on water, what if it sank?If there is an accident, the money in this ship is enough to cut off his head ten times. Therefore, Fang Hongzan is heavily protected and does everything possible to ensure that the money is transported to Beijing without any problems. There is too much money and it is too hot. He had to be cautious, even if the emperor asked him to quickly transport the silver to the capital, Fang Hongzan did not dare to be careless, and insisted on persuading the emperor to agree to his method. There are silver boats in the river, and there are gunboats ahead. Open the way, there are gunboats with broken tails behind them, and there are real and fake silver boats, twice as many as they actually need, in order to confuse others, except for the Jin Yiwei on board is the new army, in order to defend against possible robbery of silver The people on both sides of the shore are accompanied by Jinyiwei and Xinjun. It took a long time until dawn to start sailing. When the sun is still high, you have to find a place to stop. Don’t leave when it’s raining, don’t leave when it’s foggy, and don’t leave when the water is flooding In short, Fang Hongchan avoided all unnecessary troubles and did not give that potential "enemy" any opportunity.

Therefore, the money had been transported for a few months, and it hadn't arrived in Beijing yet. Yang Reform also knew that he had to be careful in handling this matter. In case something went wrong, even killing Fang Hongzan would have no effect. If something went wrong, it would be a complete loss of face.

"Return to Your Majesty, we will soon arrive in Tongzhou, that is, in the past few days, Your Majesty wants to prepare a carriage?" Wang Chengen replied.

"It's finally here. The carriages need to be ready. This time, I'm afraid that more than 1000 carriages will be needed. Tell Liu Mao about this matter, and when the time comes, I will transfer the carriages from him. This time, I will use all four wheels. Carriage..." Yang Reform said.

"Slave obeys the order!" Wang Chengen agreed, and he was also relieved. The silver can be considered to have arrived in the capital, and it took a long time to toss on the road. It's not to blame Fang Hongzan for tossing, who has escorted tens of millions of taels of silver before. ?Be careful and pay attention, that's what you should do, if something really goes wrong, no one can really afford it.

"Has the place where the silver is kept in Liulizhai been repaired?" Yang Reform asked again. This time, Yang Reform is going to show off well, transporting the silver with more than 1000 carriages, in addition to showing off his own silver, it is to witness in advance Let’s take a look at the effect of the horse-drawn carriage for disaster relief. If the weight of the 2000 million taels of silver is replaced by the weight of a human being, there will be more than 1 people. The purpose of the reform this time is to show off our ability to deliver, to show off our energy, for future disaster relief, various sudden accidents, and even wars, there are examples to follow. , that is, Liulizhai has built a place to store money. When the time comes, Yang Reform will not believe where the money will be piled up. , it should be small.

"Return to Your Majesty, it has been repaired." Wang Chengen replied.

"Oh, that's good!" Yang Reform felt relieved.

Soon we arrived at the gate of Qianqing Palace.

"By the way, where is the stove? Has the son-in-law arrived? Where are the people from the Patent Office?" Yang Reform remembered and asked. Yang Reform wanted to see the stove earlier, but was interrupted.

"Your Majesty, the son-in-law has arrived, and Li Qianshu from the Patent Office has also arrived, but your majesty is busy with the war, so the servants did not dare to disturb...there is a stove..." Wang Chengen replied.

"Oh, let them come here." Yang Reform stopped at the gate of Qianqing Palace. Yang Reform planned to solve this matter properly. This problem should be regarded as a benchmark problem. Self-planning has a very bad influence.

"Your servant obeys!" Wang Chengen promised.

After a while, Wang Chengen led several people over.

"The minister's son-in-law and captain Qi Zanyuan kowtowed to His Majesty!" A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old saluted first, but he was quite tall and had a dignified appearance. Sissy.

"Exemption from courtesy." Yang Reform took a look. This person has a good skin. If you look at it from the heart, he is not a mean or vicious person. There may be some discrepancies in the matter of beating people.

"Weichen Jinyiwei Baihu Patent Office Li Yonggu kowtows to His Majesty." Another small official also kowtowed.

"Exemption." Yang Reform also said the same thing.

Both of them got up, very curious. It was really rare for the emperor to wait for them outside the Qianqing Palace.

"You all know about the briquette, right?" Yang Reform asked first. To be honest, the first impression is often very important to a person's opinion.A good impression often takes advantage of many times. Yang Reform thought that this son-in-law was not a fun thing. What he did was to bully the people, and what he destroyed was his own work to improve the creativity and enthusiasm of the craftsmen, but he actually saw people. , Yang Reform felt that things might not be like this, so he changed his tone, and he changed his tone mildly when he originally wanted to reprimand him.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's all the minister's fault. He shouldn't have beaten that coal worker. Please punish him!" Consort Qi Zanyuan was the first to admit it.

Yang Reform was a little surprised, but he admitted it cleanly. He thought the son-in-law would say something about ordinary people.

"Well, please talk about this matter carefully... you two come with me... big companion, to see the coal stove." Yang Reform asked Qi Zanyuan to tell the story of the beating, and asked them to come with him, while asking Wang Chengen to take him with him. Look at the coal stove.

"I obey, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen agreed first, and then led the way to see the coal stove.

Qi Zanyuan also started talking about the matter between him and the coal worker.

Yang Reform listened for a while, and probably figured it out. The coal worker who was knocked down was originally a coal briquette seller. He lived at the foot of the emperor. He even listened to what he valued and treated the craftsmen well. Get some new tricks, get some new gadgets, and focus on walking your own way. The briquette was made out of his hard thinking and constant exploration.It's a pity that the emperor really isn't something that anyone can meet whenever they want, and it's impossible for others to let him see the emperor alone by sending coal briquettes.

Later, others told him that it was impossible for the emperor to see him, and it was impossible to see the craftsmen every day. If you have a rare thing, you can go to the patent office first. I heard that the yamen is dedicated to collecting all kinds of "rare things" for the emperor. , if something is good, the patent office will give a "patent". If the emperor is free, he might take a look at these novelty gadgets. patents.

Later, his briquette was easy to burn, clean, cheap, and other advantages gradually spread, and more and more people used it, and this reputation spread, and then the son-in-law Qi Zanyuan came to buy patents. As for the The coal seller refused. According to the son-in-law Qi Zanyuan, that person only wanted to get through his own way, and he only wanted to make a fortune. 1000 taels of silver, but still refused to sell his patent.

After listening to Yang Reform, he looked at the book from the Patent Office, and his favorable opinion of this person has also increased a lot. A coal worker who delivers coal can get a patent, which shows that his work is serious and responsible, and that he It is the one who understands his own mind. This kind of person should be rewarded.

Looking at the son-in-law Qi Zanyuan again, Qi Zanyuan kept admitting that he did it, only saying that he was outraged at the time, and only wanted to vent his anger, but the servants acted harder, so this happened, and he was willing to take responsibility.

Yang Reform almost understood the ins and outs of the matter.

While listening, Yang Reform also looked at the honeycomb briquette and coal stove. The coal stove is made of iron, and its shape is somewhat different from the coal stoves of later generations, but the effect of use is the same. Honeycomb coal can be placed, there is a bridge underneath, and there is a door connected to the bridge. The use effect of this thing is basically the same as that of the later generations of honeycomb coal stoves, except that the outside of this stove is made of iron. Yang Reform looked at it for a while, Some conclusions have already been drawn. Honeycomb briquettes do not need to be intervened by themselves, and briquette-burning stoves basically do not need to be intervened by themselves. In the early years, Yang Reform saw the kind of briquette stoves that were pasted with mud in the countryside. I believe that the Chinese people Wisdom, you don't have to worry about this at all.

"Honeycomb briquettes are really good. They are much better than burning briquettes, much cleaner than burning firewood, and much cheaper than burning charcoal. If ordinary people can use this, it will be convenient when the weather is cold, and it will save you a lot of money every day." I have to get angry in the morning, but it saves the expenses of the common people. Although the things are not valuable, they are also things that are closely related to the common people, good things!" Yang Reform praised, without asking about the briquettes and coal stoves, Yang Reform has already basically understood the situation So, I directly came to the conclusion that briquettes replaced briquettes and firewood. This is a historical trend, and it is enough to know this.

"Your Majesty is right." The two quickly agreed.

"My son-in-law! This matter is indeed your fault. Anyway, you shouldn't do anything. How do you plan to deal with this matter?" Yang Reform has seen honeycomb briquettes and coal stoves, and he must have passed these things. He intends to settle this matter. Since the attitude of the person concerned is good, Yang Reform doesn't plan to make a big move. It's pointless to take sides in the matter of flooding the Dragon King Temple.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I am willing to pay more for the decoction and medicine, and I will never mention the matter of accepting his patents in the future. I am also willing to bear the punishment. Please punish me." Qi Zanyuan said with some shame.

"In this matter, it is right to pay some soup and medicine expenses. However, the briquette business must not be given up. That business is still good. Although the profit is small, it is better than the large quantity. It is not a small number when it is accumulated. His If you can't buy patents, I think it's better to let him buy shares with patents and set up a firm to specialize in this business. In this way, he can avoid his worries. Although the 1000 taels is a lot, it is dead money after all. It won't be long before it's used up, I guess he also has this consideration in mind, if the water can flow for a long time, I believe that person will be willing." Yang Reform saw that this Qi Zanyuan didn't seem to be a vicious, powerful and unrelenting master, but he was collaborating to make him He started a business partnership with that coal worker, which is a combination of patents, technology, capital, and power. It is good for promoting industrialization, and it is good for further stimulating people's enthusiasm for creativity. Simply punish Qi Zanyuan ,Means nothing.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I originally had this plan, but I have probed into the tone of that person, and the meaning of that person, I am afraid, is not His Majesty..." Qi Zanyuan quickly defended, just now, he told all the situation, that person , It is obvious that he is wholeheartedly focused on following the emperor's line, and he is dismissive of him as a son-in-law, otherwise, there would be no such thing as beating someone.

"Hehe, it's easy to say. Didn't he just want to get involved with me? In this way, the son-in-law will set up a firm, and I will also invest in some shares. In this way, it can be regarded as fulfilling his wish, how about it?" Yang Reform said with a smile. Some people are his "die-hard fans", and Yang Reform still has a sense of accomplishment.

"Your Majesty, this..." Qi Zanyuan was a little surprised. The emperor's attitude towards these ordinary people was really that good, and there was really no way to say it.

"That's it. I don't think the son-in-law is a villain. I will pay that person more soup and medicine later, and then have a good talk with him. I will say that I have a stake in this firm. If he is willing to invest in patents, this firm will be fine." It can be opened, and in the future, the son-in-law will be responsible for the operation and expand the scale of the operation, and that person will be responsible for researching better briquettes and better stoves..." Yang Reform set the tone at once, patents, technologies, Funds and power must be blended together.

"Your Majesty, this... the minister's decree!" The son-in-law Qi Zanyuan was not an arrogant and domineering person. Seeing the emperor's sincere words, he suppressed some scruples and thoughts, and agreed with the emperor.

"My son-in-law, remember to pay the tax in full!" Yang Reform added with a smile.

"The minister leads the decree!" The son-in-law Qi Zanyuan even blushed and agreed.

"Your name is Li Yonggu?" After Yang Reform finished speaking, he turned his head and said to the other junior official.

"Return to Your Majesty, this minister is right." The little official who answered said very cautiously.

"I remember that Xu Bengao is in charge of the Patent Office." Yang Reform said.

"Return to Your Majesty, Mr. Xu has gone to the south on business, and has not yet returned. The patent office will be taken care of by my minister for the time being." Li Yonggu replied seriously and seriously.

"Well, not bad." Yang Reform nodded. Xu Bengao did go to the south, and he went there early. He was the first to start the salt merchant. Speaking of which, he also made great achievements in running the salt merchant.In other words, the patent office has been managed by this small official all along.

"... Well done, I didn't dislike or loathe him because of the identity of the patent applicant. It's really good to be able to do this. He is very loyal to his duty. He understands my heart thoroughly. I just like this kind of person. .” Yang Reform praised.

"Return to Your Majesty, this is the job of a humble minister, and what a humble minister should do." Li Yonggu replied seriously, his face began to turn red, since the emperor is satisfied, that's good.

"This time, the business that I and my son-in-law are going to do is based on patented food. Does the Qing family know how to do it?" Yang Reform asked again.

"Return to Your Majesty, I know." Li Yonggu calmly agreed, what does the patent office do? It is to use patents to attack others. To put it bluntly, it is to do a unique business. To put it bluntly, it means that the emperor wants to do a unique business. Whoever dares to snatch food from the emperor's mouth will be troubled by their patent office. This Jinyiwei's skin is not approved for nothing.

"Well, that's good... Li Qing's family is serious and loyal to their duties. Today, they are specially promoted to Jinyiwei Qianhu, and they are still working in the Patent Office..." Yang Reform is not stingy in promoting others, and the officials in the Patent Office are indeed small. At first, there was Xu Bengao who could control the scene, but unfortunately he was away all the year round, so I had to mention this at home.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!" Li Yonggu said excitedly.

"Get up, you have to concentrate on your errands in the future, do you understand?" Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Minister Zunzhi!" Li Yonggu was very excited. As expected, the emperor would be promoted as soon as he liked it. These days are not in vain.

The son-in-law Qi Zanyuan also congratulated a few words.

Just as he was talking, Empress Zhou Wan'er came over with a smile on her face. This place is not far from Kunning Palace, and Yang Reform has seen it from a long distance.

After the ceremony, Yang Reform asked curiously, "How did Wan'er come out?"

Seeing Zhou Wan'er approaching with a smile, Yang Reform knew something was up, and sure enough, after Zhou Wan'er finished the salute, she smiled and whispered a few words into Yang Reform's ear.

When Yang Reform heard it, he understood the whole story.Looking at the son-in-law Qi Zanyuan again, this is quite interesting. It turned out that Qi Zanyuan did not do it himself. Speaking of which, it was his sister, Princess Suiping who did it. However, he was so angry that he asked some of his servants to beat up the coal worker, so Qi Zanyuan had no choice but to take the matter down.
