Chapter 258 – Talking Craftsmen, Talking Patents
”Pops, tell you, can, but ugly words first, I say is not right, you can not hit me in, there is, I want to listen to your view of the world family, and how you want to deal with them” see their own persuade not their old man, Li Chengqian thought, or the heart of the question out, but also gave him a dose of precautionary measures.
”You this is nonsense, I let you say, just want to see your plan is not feasible, said out, I hit you why, as for the family, in my plan, at first did not intend to deal with them so quickly, and thinking of more support in the dynasty some ministers, let them form a new family can be controlled by me, to slowly suppress the previous family, after all, the family’s power you are also know, although these years, the Mingwei big outing, knocked out many of the officialdom of those family’s minions, but the upper forces or not too much influence, most of the world’s officials are more or less and the family has some contact, is that those ministers in the dynasty are also more benefited by the family, so for the father can only think of this way” Li Shimin finished, quite some helpless meaning, this is not to blame him, after all, years of experience, he can’t blame him, after all, he is the only one who has been in the family. Can’t blame him, after all, years of experience and eyesight is so.
”Pops, this method of yours, looks good, but there is a big drawback, that is, these new lineage that you foster, in the future will it become a tumor on the Great Tang again, so my plan is to completely eliminate the lineage, I know it’s hard, but as long as I am given some time, that’s still not a problem” Li Chengqian finished looking at his Pops.
”So, you have a way, quickly tell me, what is it” Hearing this affirmative answer from his eldest son, Li Shimin said with some excitement.
”In fact, there is nothing, is nothing more than agriculture and commerce, the new official school, this industry and commerce, it is very good to understand, that is, industry and commerce we have increased efforts to develop, not subject to the Confucianism that the influence of the Shishu, agriculture and industry, to give artisans and merchants the appropriate status, so that …… ”
”Wait, Gao Ming, this raise the status of artisans and merchants, this is not right! After all, the scholar-peasant-industrialist, that is the formation of thousands of years of consensus, this rashly break, will appear what kind of consequences, this who do not know” Li Chengqian words have not finished, he was his own old man spoke out to interrupt.
”Pops, this scholar-peasant-industry-business idea although appeared for thousands of years, but he must be right, I don’t think so! Take the craftsmen for example, without the creation and invention of this generation of craftsmen, that new things that change our lives will not appear, and have you thought about it, this time or without those three pieces of cavalry that I found, from the ancient books, can our father and son still be able to talk so leisurely in the world’s family’s capitalization of the enemy? And the invention of Sun Lou’s curved plow, is not a large degree of change in the first planting, and even say, your son I get out of the toothbrush, such a small thing, but also in the change of our lives, so that the status of these craftsmen to improve, that is very necessary, only the improvement of their status, they will have a greater enthusiasm to continue to invent, to get out of a piece of change in the lives of people’s items, and how to Improvement, this can be to give them a certain reward, such as knighthood or Ministry of Public Works, these are, and even for those who are determined to do research, according to their research and invention of things, can give them some rewards, such as a national recognition, on behalf of the artisan peak of the Royal Medal of Science and Technology “Li Chengqian to his old man spoke out his own ideas on industrial reform!
And hear Li Chengqian’s narration, Li Shimin shocked, but also fell into deep contemplation, because these things, is he never go to think about, and even successive generations of kings, very few people will pay attention to these, they will be happy for the sake of having something good, but from quite a few tube, these things are how to come.
”Gao Ming, you say these, good is good, but my father still think, will not be too much, after all, according to what you said, improve the status of the artisan, that will inevitably weaken the status of the scholar, and also reached what you said, that will inevitably have to invest a lot of money” Li Shimin thought for half a day, only then slowly to Li Chengqian said.
”Father, this will not weaken the status of the scholar, let’s not talk about it, this input a lot of money, that you may think wrong, and this also involves a merchant’s problem, father, you see, if a craftsman invented a valuable item, for example, this mirror, if a merchant took a look at it, a large number of production, take out to sell, you say, is not going to earn a lot of Money, and merchants earn money, that is not to pay taxes, that as long as he pays taxes, that the court is not rich, that from this much money, take out a part to give the invention of the mirror of the artisan, is not it also not so painful, and merchants want to invent the artisan from the hands of the artisan is not it also have to give money.
And we can also get a patent division, specializing in the registration of those artisans invented things of the formula and production process, which as long as it is registered in the Patent Division, that whoever wants to go to the Patent Division in the future to buy the formula, and purchased the patent of the businessman, in each year, but also according to the degree of importance of this patent, to give the Patent Division of a sum of money, and the money, the Patent Division will be deducted from a certain proportion of the service fee, put the These money to the patent registered craftsmen, and for better management, the patent can also be divided into, regional patent use, or lifetime exclusive patent use, which regardless of the kind, the court has the right to buy the patent of the businessman to make the protection, that is, did not buy the patent, shall not produce these items, once someone reported, then in the investigation of clear, directly confiscate his workshop, and give him a certain amount of Penalties, serious directly to prison.
Of course this patent also has a period of years, each patent, in the registration of the time, according to its value, assessed a period of years, such as mirrors, is ten years, then after ten years, this mirror will become a shared patent, as long as someone pays money, then the patent division will be sold to come to buy the person, or even say you will do it yourself, do not come to buy, their own production is also OK, but did not purchase, the commercial tax will be increased by ten percent.
Of course, the purchase of the exclusive right to use the patent for life, not in the setting of the number of years, after all, people buy the exclusive right to use the patent for life, then this patent is his, no one may not take away from him, he can be used for generations to come, and by the protection of my Great Tang.
Even some craftsmen do not want to sell the patent, then he just in the registration, pay a sum of money, stating that the patent is not for sale, then he can also exclusive use of their own patents, or he wants to dedicate to the empire, then we can also get a set of appropriate incentive program to.
