Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Lu Xiangsheng said thoughtfully: "Then I would like to thank Dean Song. After Lu goes back, he will touch this matter with the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment."

PS: After sacrificing "I Became a System", you actually use me as the protagonist?

Chapter 8 Training the Predestined Prince

The Central Plains Dynasty has had a very good habit since ancient times—what is mine is mine, and what is yours is mine. If you dare to say otherwise, you can ask Lord Yan to ask whose it is!

To put it simply, it is the use of doctrine.

He felt that the Huns' riding and archery were pretty good, so King Zhao Wuling played a game of Hufu riding and archery. He felt that the music of the Kucha people was good, so Li Er made it his own.

Those who dare to say that these things do not belong to the Central Plains are usually swept into the garbage dump of history.

For the "Patent Act" that the English barbarians came up with in the fourth year of the apocalypse, Meng Zhaoxiang, Minister of Criminal Affairs, thought it was good, so England's "Patent Act" became "Da Ming Law · Patent Law".

The big bosses in the entire court didn’t think there was anything strange, because Confucius taught him thousands of years ago: three people walk together, there must be my teacher; Those who are not good will be changed.

To sum it up, just take the good things and throw away the bad ones, don't be silly and drag everything to your home.

The big bosses of the cabinet, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Officials, after losing countless hairs and spraying countless spittles with the officials above the court, "Daming Law" ·The Law of Patents is finally released.

According to the "Patent Law", as long as you have a Daming household registration, you can go to the local government office or state office to file patent information after you fiddle with something new. After the report, the patent will belong to the patent holder. It is owned by the individual and is valid for 30 years.

Of course, the "Daming Law·Patent Law" only protects people who hold Daming household registrations for filing, and patent filings that do not hold Daming household registrations are not supported.

After reading the outline of the "Patent Law", Emperor Chongzhen approved a "yes", which means that the "Patent Law" officially came into effect.

The common people of Ming Dynasty didn't care much when they came here, anyway, the current Ming Dynasty is almost the same every day, and the "Traffic Law" is so excessive that it even stipulates how the common people should walk.

Only the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials began to have a headache.

The headache for the Ministry of Officials is that they have to send small officials in charge of patent registration and filing to various states and governments. This means that the salary expenditure of the Ministry of Officials has increased a lot. It is also necessary to erase the shortfall caused by the sudden increase of small officials this year.

The headache for the Ministry of Industry is that the "Patent Law" has just started to be implemented, and the number of registered patents in various places is almost innumerable. Many old things are used for applications, and it is not so easy to do a good job of screening Son.

Emperor Chongzhen, who ran to Nanjing with his two young wives, naturally didn't care about these crap things - wasn't Daming giving these people salaries just to make them work?

If they are not allowed to work, should they learn from their ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang and do everything by themselves?

I am a ruthless person, not a werewolf, so I don't need to work so hard!

From Quanzhou all the way to Nanjing, Emperor Chongzhen stopped and stopped all the way, stopping at almost every state capital he passed to see the lives of the local people, as well as Jin Yiwei's records of local officials.

Zhu Cihong finally understood why Emperor Chongzhen was able to make waves all over the world, but he was not at all worried that there would be problems in such a huge empire.

At its root, it still lies in the hearts of the people.

Unlike other princes and princes who grew up in deep palaces in history, Zhu Cihong, who had been misled by Emperor Chongzhen long ago, had a similar view of the people's hearts as Emperor Chongzhen.

Children can safely run on the street without worrying about being caught by kidnappers. After returning home, there will always be an egg or one or two slices of meat in the bowl. After entering the school, the older children basically There is no need to spend money at home, which firmly holds the hearts of the people, even if some people still don't have enough food and clothing.

For the people of Ming Dynasty, it’s not a big deal if they don’t have enough food and clothing, as long as the family can survive, and if the children can study and have a chance to succeed in the future, that is the great benefit to the world up!

Therefore, Zhu Cihong is not surprised to see a certain state capital busy demolishing the city wall from time to time.

Emperor Chongzhen also liked to see such a scene of busy work, no matter if it was the common people busy farming or demolishing the city walls, this kind of scene could never be enough, especially after watching the barbarians for several months.

For Emperor Chongzhen, the stability of the people meant the stability of the country and society, and he didn't have to worry about hanging on the old crooked neck tree in Meishan one day, even though the tree had been cut down.

Moreover, this journey is not only a process of touring the world, but also a journey of instilling the concept of the world and the people in Zhu Cihong.

After all, after selling the eldest son Zhu Cixiu and the youngest Zhu Ciyi, Zhu Cihong was the only candidate for the crown prince, and Zhu Cihong's previous performance was also good, which was in line with Emperor Chongzhen's expectations for the crown prince.

Pointing to the "Patent Law" in front of Zhu Cihuang, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Tell me, what problems will arise if there is no such thing?"

Zhu Cilang understood that this was Emperor Chongzhen's examination of his own school, and after pondering for a while, he opened his mouth and said, "My father, if there is no "Patent Law", local governments will often do whatever they want when facing patent disputes. Okay, just like those recorded in the previous files, partiality is inevitable, but some officials favor scholars, and a few officials favor ordinary people.

Regardless of whether it is favoring scholars or favoring the common people, it is actually not a good thing, at least it will dampen other people's enthusiasm for thinking about new inventions and creations. "

Emperor Chongzhen nodded with a smile, and then asked: "What about Miao Haicheng? How should we deal with it?"

Zhu Cihong knew that the meat scene was coming—the previous questions were just foreshadowing, and this question was the real key.

Because Miao Haicheng's behavior is really not very good to judge - if he said that he favored those three businessmen, then why did he ask the three businessmen to compensate Jiang Xinlong?One must know that 5000 taels of silver is definitely not a small amount. Jiang Xinlong's so-called one hundred thousand taels is more of nonsense.

If it was said that he was partial to Jiang Xinlong, but he was mixed in the actual disposal process, and he held up the matter of the three businessmen's pirated version of Jiang Xinlong's design, but then gently put it down.

Zhu Cilang remembers that Emperor Chongzhen taught himself and his elder brother not to draw conclusions easily about a person, but to listen to his words, observe his behavior, and observe his actions, otherwise it is easy to be misled by the wrong information in front of him, and thus come to a wrong judgment .

After pondering carefully for a while, Zhu Cihong finally said: "Father, my son thinks that Miao Haicheng is at fault, but reprimand or fine is enough, it should not be too harsh."

Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Tell me carefully."

Zhu Cilang said: "As the so-called law does not prohibit it, it is allowed. The "Patent Law" was published after this case, and did not exist before this case. Miao Haicheng's fault does not apply to the "Patent Law". one.

Second, the price of each textile machine designed by Jiang Xinlong is 50 taels, which is indeed not affordable for ordinary people.

Regardless of whether it was Erchen who traveled with his eldest brother before, or this time he walked all the way from Quanzhou, he had noticed that a small family might only save three or five taels of silver a year, and most of them were only seven or eight taels. It costs 50 taels of silver to set up a textile machine. For many people, their savings in ten years have been wiped out.

And although the prices of the three merchants were 30 taels, they were nearly half lower than Jiang Xinlong's. Although it was said to suppress Jiang Xinlong's textile machines, it gave ordinary people the hope of being able to afford them.

From this point of view, Miao Haicheng is undoubtedly qualified as a seventh-rank official close to the people, at least he is also thinking about the people.

Third, according to Jin Yiwei's usual records, Miao Haicheng did not commit any illegal acts in his tenure, let alone received any benefits in this case.

Combining these three reasons, the minister thought that it would be enough to reprimand or fine Miao Haicheng, and if he was dismissed because of this, it would be an overkill. "

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "Very well, it seems that you have grown up too, and you are no longer the foolish boy who followed your elder brother's ass and messed around.

Remember, things in this world are not black and white, nor are they completely fair and strict. The so-called gentleman country is just an ideal society imagined by literati.

Just like Miao Haicheng, he naturally has to bear the blame for his own mistakes, but his mistakes are far from serious enough to dismiss him from office. On the contrary, as long as such people are trained well, they can be reused in the future . "

After pondering for a while, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Get ready. After you return to the capital, you should open a mansion and build a government office. I will let someone choose a place for you. Show off your talents to your heart's content.

I am not afraid that you are capable, but what I am afraid of is that you are not capable. I will give you a chance to prove that you will be a qualified prince and heir.

Otherwise, I will not make you the crown prince, and you should not be resentful, I cannot let this great country be defeated by an incompetent crown prince.

If, what I'm talking about is if, when you ascend the throne in the future, you must also remember that it is a good thing for the prince to be capable, and the country is not a matter of one family and one family name. The prince must be able to provoke the burden of the country, otherwise After a hundred years, you won't even be able to eat blood. "

Zhu Cihong raised his head in astonishment, and looked at Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "What? Surprised, isn't it?"

Standing up and walking to the gate of the imperial palace, the figure of Emperor Chongzhen was covered with a layer of light: "Look, look at the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, no one will give you a single inch, it was the ancestors who overcame the thorns and thorns, said yes An inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood are not too much.

The Chu people and Yue people who grew up here before have all become Han people now, and how many generations have history changed?From Xia to Shang, from Shang to Zhou, then to Qin, Han and Three Kingdoms, and even to Ming Dynasty, generations of people are like passers-by, and only these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers remain unchanged.
