My Daming New Empire

Although they are all disciples of Confucianism, this is like those foreign parties in later generations. Even if he is a party member, he will still accept bribes as he should.When the party's line runs counter to one's own interests, who really takes the party constitution and party discipline seriously?

Believers of those religions chanted louder than anyone else every day, and when it was time to break the law, no one was lenient.

Seeing that the people below nodded silently, Zhu Zhanji said again: "The so-called investigation of things for use is the pace that pushes the whole world forward. It is not acceptable to rush on the road and rush up. Therefore, we must establish a set of rules of our own , all development, all progress, must be carried out within this framework. Guyu and the emperor's grandfather first decided a law that personal legal wealth is protected by the Great Ming Law, but robbery, embezzlement, and bribery are illegal. Wealth obtained in violation of discipline will not be protected by this law, and will be held accountable by the family.”

Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, since the past dynasties, in the oriental society where imperial power is respected, and in the oriental society where officials are the standard, everyone's private wealth is not protected by law.

Those in the upper position take what they want, and those in the lower position can only passively accept it.

Even if it is not a high-ranking official, a small landlord can use various means to coerce the wealth of the people at the bottom.

Land annexation is the most serious social problem after the development of the past dynasties to a certain stage. If this is to be changed, property protection policies must be carried out.

This step seems to be a bit abrupt, and it is easy to cause the consequences of taking too big a step.Because it is easier for an upper-class person to learn and use the rules than a lower-class person.

Although this law is good, it may also be used by the upper class to protect their illegal income, so Zhu Zhanji proposed that all kinds of illegal income are not protected.

Although there may be loopholes in this decree, if you want to develop the economy and protect the economy, when Daming is the most powerful country in the world, the advantages of implementing it will outweigh the disadvantages.

The most obvious one is that the implementation of patents will definitely increase the enthusiasm of the whole society for technology research.

For example, some doctors and craftsmen will actively apply for patents to protect their own interests.

Then Daming established a set of technology promotion system to promote or protect some leading technologies and advantageous projects in a unified way, which can also maintain Daming's economic advantages and always lead.

Those neighboring countries of Ming Dynasty will also face technological barriers and protection. If they want to learn the technology of Ming Dynasty again, they will be prepared to face the pressure of the army of Ming Dynasty.

Developing countries in later generations have always been constrained by developed countries, but now, Daming will become the biggest vested interest.

And this point, which does not involve academic disputes or farewell disputes, is also the best way to explore.

Even if this law will face great difficulties during Zhu Di's period and cannot be fully promoted, Zhu Zhanji's use of this to express his ruling policy will also make countless people willing to follow him.

And Zhu Di's current rule over Daming is extremely firm. As long as it does not involve the country, the possibility of this plan being approved is very high.

Wu Zhong was puzzled and asked again: "What does the protection of personal property have to do with patents?"

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Because patents do not only refer to the interests of personal property, not only fields, food, shops, gold and silver are personal property, personal knowledge, technology are also property. A doctor, his prescription is property , for a craftsman, his technology is his property, and for a literati, his knowledge is his property. Daming wants to establish a set of universal laws to protect the interests of all people, and on the basis of conditions, he must also promote these technologies and make them Promote the common use of the world."

Wu Zhong still couldn't figure it out, and asked again: "If we want to protect, how can we promote it?"

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "This is the function of patents." With a short manpower, how many people can be saved even if the family's prescriptions are treasured?How much profit can you make?Through patents, others are authorized to conspire to make medicines. Every time a medicine is sold, the profit will be shared with the person who gave the prescription. This will make more profits than his third generation.One person writes a book and distributes it all over the world. Every time a book is sold, one must contribute to this person's writing. This is also a patent. "

Immediately below, there was a sound of inhalation.In this day and age, there are already professional novelists and playwrights, but these people only have a sum of money at most, and the subsequent sales have nothing to do with this person.

The best sellers now are Outlaws of the Marsh and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. These two books have sold countless copies in the past few decades, but the two authors have made little profit.

Once this patent law comes out, it will be able to legally protect the interests of these literati, so that the money will not be stolen by businessmen.

And through patents, publishers and printers can be controlled, which can be said to kill multiple birds with one stroke.

Around this issue, everyone discussed it one after another.But the one with the most examples is the publication of books, not the technical patents that Zhu Zhanji expected.

Although they are important members of the Ministry of Industry, they still think that writing books and biographies is the real glory of their ancestors.

In the past, you had to spend your own money to print a book. If you don’t need to spend your own money to print a book in the future, but you can also make money, many people will be moved immediately.

Unable to reverse the traditional ideas of the people for a while, Zhu Zhanji simply invited Song Shangshu and Wu Shangshu directly. "Song Shangshu, you have devoted your whole life to flood control and dredging rivers. This experience benefits the country and the people. I will teach this subject in the Young Army. If you write a book, I would like to order hundreds of copies at a high price. Wu Shangshu, you are a master of architecture. , Whether it is urban construction, neighborhood planning, or housing construction, I have rich experience. If I get your experience to pass on, I am also willing to publish a book for you."

The two ministers were also a little excited, and had a heated discussion with Zhu Zhanji.

Ma Di, who is standing at the back of the classroom, thinks of his glass workshop, and even the telescope developed by himself. Can these technologies be patented?If colored glaze technology spreads throughout the Ming Dynasty, and every colored glaze workshop uses its own technology, will it have to pay patent fees to my family?

For the patent fee, the grandson is really the son of the dragon, a pedantic heaven and man, why can't I think of these things?

However, I am different from my grandson, I should think more about inventing and creating, my talent is here!

The bell rang, and Zhu Zhanji stood up and said with a smile: "It's time for the young army's lunch. We might as well move the cafeteria and fill up the five internal organs temple first, and then talk about business."

Song Li looked at the grandson who was a head taller than ordinary people, bowed and said: "I am willing to be a dog and a horse, and I will do as Your Highness orders."

Everyone responded one after another: "But according to His Highness's instructions."

Zhu Zhanji smiled happily: "Then eat first, and I will ask you for advice later."

Relying on today's fooling around, Zhu Zhanji can't say that he has been recognized by everyone, but at least he has expressed his position and attitude.

These are all ministers of the Ministry of Industry, and their interests are consistent with what Zhu Zhanji wants to do.

After a nutritious but not hearty lunch, Zhu Zhanji invited the ministers of the Ministry of Industry into the classroom again, but this time, no one from the young army disturbed him.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji said to Song Li and Wu Zhong: "To implement the survey of things, we must first focus on the needs of the survey of things. Today I ask you two to determine the most suitable river bay for the installation of waterwheels for my Ming Dynasty, and then to build The most suitable place for mass processing."

Wu Zhong asked somewhat incomprehensibly, "Your Highness, Your Majesty said that you want to develop Xiamaqiao Farm, why are you looking for a river bend?"

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Wu Shangshu saw the bearing today. As soon as this product comes out, the waterwheel has no specification restrictions. The greater the water flow, the more powerful the waterwheel is. It is not the way to let the waterwheel drive the machine tool to process iron objects. I can do it."

Song Li has the deepest research on this aspect, and said with a smile: "The section between Jiangxin Island and Stone City on the edge of the river, the current is rushing, if a waterwheel is built, this is the right place."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "Both power and persistence are necessary. This is the condition for the movement of machine tools. I would like to follow Shangshu and his party to survey the environment here. Wu Shangshu, the address is selected, and you still need to be able to suit the location and build a suitable building." room."

Wu Zhong responded with a smile: "This is the duty of a minister."

The brigade followed Taisun and his party around the inner city of Yingtianfu, along the inner ring road inside the outer city wall, and headed straight to the Yangtze River to choose a suitable factory address.

After listening to his elder brother's report of the conversation between the grandson and the ministers, Ma Xin couldn't calm down for a long time. "Second Brother, is Your Highness really the one whom the destiny belongs to?"

Ma Di shook his head and said: "I don't know either, but His Highness is the one whom the world expects, and there is no falsehood. If it weren't for the expectations of the world, how could the ministers of the Ministry of Works bow down so easily today?"

Ma Xin was expecting and shy at the same time, and said softly: "But I hope he is just an ordinary man..."

Ma Di couldn't help laughing, he was close to this sister, so of course he knew how insincere her words were now.

(Writing theory is the most tiring, but everyone doesn’t like it. I’m thankless. I won’t write these later. It’s enough to establish the image of the grandson in front of the ministers. As long as you ascend the throne, everything is illusory)

Chapter 96 Site Selection

Exit the city gate from Qingliangmen, there is a wharf near the Qinhuai River.

Zhu Zhanji and his party got off their horses at the pier, took a rowing boat on the pier, and crossed the river one by one.

In their line of work, there were grandsons of honor, thousands of guards, and several second-rank ministers, which attracted countless attentions.

At the same time, what Zhu Zhanji said in the morning has been spread throughout the capital under Zhu Zhanji's intentional guidance.

His goodwill towards craftsmen and businessmen, as well as his idea of ​​protecting the property of the poor, made him gain a lot of popular support before he did anything.

But some people like it, and some people are dissatisfied.Zhu Zhanji's preference for other subjects made those students who thought they were Confucian orthodox believe that Taisun was a bit too flattering to those muddy legs.
