I receive courier in Datang

Chapter 77 The Discussion Begins

The people sent out to collect patent fees did exactly what Li Chengqian ordered. As long as it was a tailor shop with a name, they would go in and check it out. When they saw new clothes and trousers, they would start collecting patent fees.

At first, ordinary people thought that this was a disguised bribery by the two families. Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian actually sent someone to collect the money and collected it from them. Suddenly, people everywhere were complaining.

Soon, Wei Zheng was approached by someone. After he knew this, he was also a little speechless. Whether Li Chengqian's actions were considered a mistake, he couldn't say.

He is not one of those angry people. The angry people are angry because Li Chengqian has touched their interests, and the source of their interests is Li Chengqian's idea.

This is difficult to assess, so Wei Zheng made a difficult decision, that is, to hand over this difficult question to Li Shimin.

Palace of Lizheng.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince has not only collected huge royalties from King Cui's family recently, he has also sent people to collect patent fees everywhere. The amount collected varies. It is almost like watching people serve food. Many people are dissatisfied with the behavior of His Highness the Crown Prince. , it was very noisy." Wei Zheng said.

"I've heard about patent fees. We didn't care about these things before. Anyone who invents something new can use it without paying. Do you think Gao Ming is right or wrong?" Li Er ask.

Wei Zheng was stunned, he didn't expect that Li Shimin was also a slippery guy, and he actually turned the question back, how did he know whether Li Chengqian's approach was right or wrong, since he didn't have it before.

"I have indeed thought about this issue. If His Highness the Prince's trademark and patent headquarters is really established, it will be of far-reaching significance to craftsmen. When they invent things, others will have to pay them, which will inevitably increase everyone's enthusiasm for invention." Wei Zheng said.

Li Er was puzzled: "Oh, so Ai Qing thinks this is a good thing?"

"No, this will also allow some people to take advantage of the opportunity to make huge profits. Starting from the person who invented something, his descendants will benefit endlessly from it. This is what we don't want to see. This is even worse than those big families. Horrible." Wei Zheng said.

Li Er nodded: "Indeed."

He thought for a moment, and smiled helplessly: "Gao Ming really gave us a problem. What kind of headquarters is he, which will indeed greatly stimulate people's creativity, but the consequences will also be great. In this way, tomorrow morning, let's discuss this together." matter, call him too."

"Yes." Wei Zheng said.

East Palace.

Ersha went home, and the people Li Chengqian sent out to collect patent fees also came back one after another, and many of them showed embarrassment. This time, they didn't receive much money, but they received a lot of scolding.

The most common question is whether His Royal Highness is crazy about money, and you have to ask them for money, and if you want money, you will die!
Everyone talked and explained the situation they encountered to Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian nodded without comment. He didn't want to make money in these small shops.

He just wants to introduce this kind of thinking, respecting the idea of ​​knowledge, because only by respecting knowledge will there be more creative people.

Xiao Cui asked, "Your Highness, do we still need to collect patent fees?"

"Accept, why don't you accept it? If you go to places you haven't been to, just take my words with you. It's their business whether to give it or not." Li Chengqian said.

Soon, when the news came that the trademark and patent headquarters would be discussed the next day, Li Chengqian was a little surprised. He thought that Li Er would directly say no, but he didn't expect to discuss this matter.

Li Chengqian began to re-evaluate the Tang people in his heart. Everyone's ability to accept new things is indeed very fast.

In fact, women began to wear trousers in the Tang Dynasty, and trousers were foreign objects, which shows that the people of the Tang Dynasty had a high ability to accept foreign objects.

In the evening, the spies sent by Li Chengqian came back.

"His Royal Highness, the Cui Wang family you went to before did not raise any objections to the patent fee. They don't seem to care about the money at all." The spies said.

Li Chengqian had thought of this situation, because when he went to the Wang family before, he did not receive any resistance at all, and the Wang family simply gave the money.

It seems that these big families can achieve this step, not because of luck, but because they have really studied business. Patents seem to be unfavorable to them, but in fact they are not. Everyone can apply for patents.

As for who can make money and who can't make money in the end, it's a matter of each person's ability.

Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing and said: "You don't think it's strange, the people who I directly want to leave 4000 million people don't even fart, and those who only charge a little patent fee are the loudest people. It's really ironic ah!"

The spies had no choice but to laugh along with Li Chengqian. They were also very puzzled after finding out the result. Maybe those people were stupid and rich.

Early the next morning, Tai Chi Hall.

After the routine work, Li Erfa asked: "What do you think of the trademark and patent headquarters established by the prince?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden burst of discussion.

Cheng Yaojin pulled Li Chengqian aside, and said: "You have done a good job, it is a great thing that benefits the country and the people, I will be the first to support you!"

"What's so good about it?" Li Chengqian asked.

Cheng Yaojin was a little embarrassed: "Anyway...it's very good!"

Li Chengqian was speechless. This guy insisted that his patent plan was good, but he couldn't tell what was good about it. This is really Cheng Yaojin's style!

"Thank you for your support in advance." Li Chengqian said.

He knows that if there is one more supporter today, he will have more chances of winning.

"I invented a gadget called filial piety. I'll tell you first. Anyone who makes filial piety will pay me the patent fee." Cheng Yaojin said.

Li Chengqian was confused: "What is filial piety? Doesn't filial piety mean that people are good to their parents? How can it be a thing?"

"Think about it, what method does the junior use to express filial piety to the elders? Of course it's back-beating. This invention of mine is a gavel that I can give myself a back-beating, named filial piety." Cheng Yaojin said.

Named a ghost, Li Chengqian convinced!

"This thing doesn't work, it can't be regarded as an invention patent." Li Chengqian said.

"Why not? Didn't you just hear what it is?" Cheng Yaojin said.

"But I know now that it is something that existed before. You just changed the name to a novelty. This is not an invention. If you count this as well, wouldn't it be a mess?" Li Chengqian said.

"Negative emotion value from Cheng Zhijie, +128"

Cheng Yaojin: "Okay, I won't help you later, let's see how you can beat these old bastards!"

Li Chengqian was speechless, this guy was really, really real!As soon as he refused, he immediately changed his face and refused to support him. What a genius!
"What are you arguing about? I want to be reasonable!" Li Chengqian said.
