As for protecting the legitimate rights and interests of inventors, encouraging inventions and creations, promoting the application of inventions and creations, improving innovation capabilities, promoting scientific and technological progress and economic and social development, His Majesty Li Er and the tycoon of the Political Affairs Hall have not realized it, or even understood it at all.

Xu Qilin could only smile bitterly at this and expressed helplessness.

Although this "order" is not satisfactory, there are also things that make Xu Qilin feel proud. The institution for invention reporting and review is designated as Dayingku. Can the inventions and creations that have been bought out be labeled as "royal secret recipe"?

Moreover, I am the director of the Patent Office and have applied for a monopoly on many invention patents. Is this really good?

Xu Qilin found it a bit funny, but then he thought about it, and it had the characteristics of a feudal society. This is probably the most normal thing that cannot be separated from.

Well, first use your authority to take advantage of sugar making, wine steaming, essence extraction, etc., and you even get off to the command and get there, and you don’t want to apply to come quickly even if you sit in the office.

Xu Qilin was proud of himself and immediately wrote and painted on the paper, preparing to make a golden patent book. It seemed so high-end and valuable!

While he was busy, someone came to report that the Zuowu Guard General Feng Zhidai came to visit.

Hey, this guy definitely has no invention to report it. It is probably because of sugar. He grows sugarcane in his own territory. With unique conditions, anyone who doesn’t want to think is a fool.

Xu Qilin now has the confidence and immediately asked someone to invite Feng Zhidai in.

If Feng Zhidai's mind is really smart enough, not smart, and not smooth, he wouldn't be sent to the capital by his father. If he is stupid and kicked the ground, he will cause trouble. That would bring disaster to the Feng family!

In addition to making friends with powerful people, Feng Zhidai was also responsible for sending His Majesty's decree, the movements of the court, the changes of ministers to Lingnan as soon as possible, so that his father could quickly understand the spirit of the central government and understand and grasp the political trends.

In fact, not only Feng Ang sent his son to collect political information in the capital, and to transport the powerful and powerful. Each road is in Chang'an, and there are permanent institutions. Now it is called a mansion. In name, it is the place where local officials live when they enter Beijing, but in fact, like Feng Zhidai, it is the eyes and ears of local officials inquiring about information in the capital.

In the late Tang Dynasty, Di was renamed Jinzouyuan, which was equivalent to the later Beijing office. Representatives of the vassal states communicated, exchanged with the court, and handled various affairs between the local and the central government.

Therefore, when Feng Zhidi saw His Majesty's order, he guessed the intention. When he saw that Dayingku was responsible for the report and review of inventions, he immediately thought of the sugar made by Dayingku, and why Xu Qilin did not respond directly to his kindness and temptations.

Although not very sure, Feng Zhidai came to visit again. He was idle in Xu Mansion, put down his gift and went to the office space of Dayingku.

Feng Zhidai walked into Xu Qilin's office, glanced at him and saw the order on the table. He couldn't help but smile, feeling that his guess was almost the same.

Xu Qilin had finished the ceremony, and the guest and the servants sat down and gave tea.

This time, Xu Qilin no longer cared about him, no longer pretended to be confused, but said straight to the point: "Brother Feng visited several times, but it was for white sugar?"

"What Xu Cheng said is exactly." Feng Zhidai stopped beating around the bush, bowed his hand, and said, "Xu Cheng must have had a plan, just wait for this order! I wonder if this method of making sugar is for sale or authorization?"

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Authorize it, the price is easier." After pausing, he asked, "Brother Feng knows how much sugarcane or sugar cane sugar produced by the eight states led by Geng Guogong?"

It is not impossible to sell patents at one time. With the financial resources of the Feng family, even if the price is higher, there is no big problem.

But after selling the patent, there was no way to restrain the Feng family. Not to mention the sugarcane from the eight states led by Feng Ang, even if the Feng family bought all the sugarcane produced in Lingnan, Xu Qilin could not take care of it.

If this is true, Chang'an and Luoyang workshops, which are so far away from Lingnan, have no raw materials, how can they make sugar and how can they be exported through the Silk Road?

I'm afraid that the court will have to order it to force it, but this is something Xu Qilin doesn't want either.

Therefore, from a long-term perspective, the benefits of authorization are greater, and you have to pay as much as you produce. As demand increases, the planting area and output of sugarcane have increased significantly, and the expansion of Fengjia Workshop is also affirmed.

In order to ensure the supply of raw materials, Xu Qilin must first reach an agreement with the Feng family to distribute it reasonably, and no one should eat alone.

If the Feng family does not abide by the agreement, Xu Qilin can withdraw the authorization. If you reborn, you will violate the imperial order and you will be punished.

Obviously, Feng Zhidai doesn’t know the specific number, and Feng Ann shouldn’t know it either. Only after statistics can local officials obtain accurate data.

"I really don't know this." Feng Zhidai replied honestly: "When I write a letter back, how about asking my father to send someone to calculate?"

Xu Qilin pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know how much time I will waste when I go back and forth. There is a way. If Brother Feng thinks it is feasible, then report to Geng Guogong, wouldn't it save time and effort?"

"Please tell me, please listen carefully." Feng Zhidai bowed, waiting for Xu Qilin's statement.

In fact, Xu Qilin's conditions are not harsh, just to cooperate with the Feng family to make money. In terms of raw materials, no one should monopolize and make reasonable distribution; in terms of sugar sales, the price and the market have also decided on agreements, no one should cross the boundaries, and no one should think about price competition.

After listening to Xu Qilin's idea, Feng Zhidi felt that it was much better than he expected.

If someone doesn't use the title of a royal institution to suppress you, and there are no strict conditions, you can just make your own decisions without arousing your father's opposition.

Of course, Feng Zhidai still has to write a letter to his father, and his father will make the final decision. This is a matter of etiquette and attitude.

Xu Qilin still has another condition, which is considered a bondage, but it is not too much and does not harm the Feng family.

"Thirty acres of hillside forest land are temporarily allocated in Gaozhou to serve as the breeding base of Dayingku. After the new crops are successfully cultivated and widely planted, the profits will be distributed by Dayingku and the Feng family in consultation and distribution."

Xu Qilin took a sip of tea and said, "If the Feng family is not interested in the new crops, Dayingku will not force it. The 30 acres of land will be purchased by Dayingku at the land price."

Feng Zhidae smiled and said, "What Xu Cheng said is, let alone thirty acres, it is a hundred acres. What is it? Here, I can agree to Xu Cheng and ask my father to draw out the land immediately."

"Then I'll thank you first." Xu Qilin bowed and said, "When someone selects a good person, he will set off for Gaozhou in autumn."

The Feng family is just a drop in the bucket of hillside forest land. But if they knew that Xu Qilin wanted to cultivate pepper, their chin would fall off and their saliva would flow.

Well, when the cultivation is successful, your Feng family will go crazy? This pepper is more powerful than sugar cane, and the profits are amazing!

Xu Qilin and Feng Zhidai discussed for a while, roughly sorted out the cooperation agreement, and waited for Feng Ang to reply, and then the official start.

After seeing Feng Zhidai off, Xu Qilin breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried about this matter during this period. Now that the cooperation agreement has been basically reached, we can report it to His Majesty Li Er.

If His Majesty Li Er has other requests, he can change it in time before receiving Feng Ang’s reply, so that he will not count on his words.

………………………….

Three days later, Jiucheng Palace and the Great Treasure Palace.

"Tea Classic" and "Elementary Mathematics" have been placed on the imperial case of His Majesty Li Er, but Xu Qilin's report had just been opened. The palace servant came to report that Dr. Taichang Li Chunfeng met with him.

His Majesty Li Er put down the report and announced that Li Chunfeng would come to the palace.

Li Chunfeng came to the hall, bowed and said, "I have seen Your Majesty."

His Majesty Li Er asked, "Li Qing, there are occasional strange lights in the forbidden garden at night, can you find out clearly?"

Li Chunfeng said: "I have checked clearly in the Forbidden Garden last night that the strange light is a ghost fire."

"Ghost Fire?!" His Majesty Li Er frowned.

Li Chunfeng's expression remained unchanged and said, "I heard that when Yang Su was supervising Renshou Palace, the supervisor of the work was extremely harsh. The civil servants were exhausted and killed more than 10,000 people. Later, the civil servants were pushed into the pit and built the soil into flat ground."

His Majesty Li Er pondered slightly and said, "I have heard that the Emperor of Sui went to Renshou Palace to escape the heat. The deaths of the husband were the second to the Tao. Yang Su ordered them to burn them."

Li Chunfeng said: "In the 19th year of Kaihuang, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian looked away in Renshou Palace. He saw the palace's phosphate fire and cried. He sent someone to observe and report that it was ghost fire. Yang Jian said: "This is a ghost who died in service during the construction of the palace." So he sent someone to pay tribute to him."

His Majesty Li Er was so slight and said, "The Emperor of Sui was unrighteous and made great efforts to build a large number of buildings, which greatly damaged the beauty and greatly damaged the people."

Li Chunfeng said, "Your Majesty is wise. I ask for a wine to pay tribute to you to save the dead souls."

"Accurate." His Majesty Li Er nodded and agreed, paused, and said, "You are good at calculating, you can read this book and evaluate the pros and cons."

The palace servant stepped forward and handed over the "Elementary Mathematics" to Li Chunfeng.

Li Chunfeng looked at the pages and flipped through them casually. This was the first time he saw the style of the Tornado Book.

"Let's go back and read it!" His Majesty Li Er waved his hand.

"I'm going to leave." Li Chunfeng put away the book and bowed to leave.

His Majesty Li Er drank a cup of tea and took a short rest before picking up Xu Qilin's report and reading it.

Xu Qilin's report was very detailed, not only about negotiations with Feng Zhidai, but also about the next development plan of Dayingku. For example, establishing a branch in Luoyang to borrow the benefits of canal transportation; continuing to rely on the post station to build a residence, etc.

"This little brat--" His Majesty Li Er looked at it and suddenly laughed and scolded.

It turned out that Xu Qilin also listed the gifts given by Feng Zhidai and wrote them into the report. The implication was to ask His Majesty Li Er for instructions, should I receive this gift or receive it!

Obviously, His Majesty Li Er also thinks this is a trivial matter. Feng Ang’s wealth is as good as the country, and Feng Zhidae generously distributes wealth in the capital. How could His Majesty Li Er not know?

Although Xu Qilin was suspected of accepting bribes, it was decided to cooperate with the Feng family long ago. His Majesty Li Er also gave him a approval. Can you still blame Xu Qilin for this little property?

His Majesty Li Er was not concerned about this, but became interested in the new invention mentioned later in the report.

Xu Qilin made it clear that although this was his own invention, it should be made public and beneficial to the country and the people.

Why did the brat who never gets up early without profit suddenly become generous? His Majesty Li Er was quite strange at first, but then he realized it when he thought about it.

Because the passage of the Patent Law in the Political Affairs Hall was quite difficult, the initiator Xu Qilin must have been labeled as "profit is the only way to do it, profit is the first".

These four inventions are made public and used for free, and Xu Qilin is correcting his reputation. I am not what you think, it is really not! I am selfless and pure and beneficial to the country and the people.

What invention can whitewash you, a stinky brat who has the word "profit"? His Majesty Li Er is a little funny, but he is also interested and continue reading.

Invention 1: Horseshoe, which was only widely used in the Yuan Dynasty. Xu Qilin not only drew simple diagrams, but also explained and explained, such as protecting the horseshoe and making the horseshoe hold the ground more firmly, which is very beneficial for riding and driving, etc.

If it is just a wild horse running and walking in a natural environment, because of the hard cuticle horseshoe, of course there is no need to nail the horseshoe.

However, when it falls into human hands, it is necessary to carry people and things, and it may also be necessary to run fast frequently. The wear of the horseshoe is aggravated and it is easy to get injured.

Therefore, nailing the horseshoe is equivalent to putting shoes on the horse. If the shoes are broken, you can change them. If the feet are worn out, it is difficult to cure them.

His Majesty Li Er's eyes lit up. If this invention is really practical, it will undoubtedly increase the combat effectiveness of the Tang cavalry to a higher level, and it will also be very beneficial for civil transportation and arable land.

As an expert in using cavalry, His Majesty Li Er has seen damage to war horses, such as the horse's hooves cannot be soaked in water for a long time, often walking on sandy roads or rugged mountain roads, and horses will become lame, etc.

Looking at the simple diagram, His Majesty Li Er thought it was feasible and good. Besides, the person who delivered the report was a horse with a horse-shoeed. How effective was it? Just take a look and ask, you will understand.

Well, I will first give this brat a merit. His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and smiled, and he admired it in his heart.

Invention 2: The ultimate curved plow.

Why is it called the ultimate purplish plow? Because the purplish plow appeared in the middle of the Tang Dynasty. Although it was very advanced and became the mainstream purplish type in China in the future, it still has some shortcomings and room for improvement.

Until the Song Dynasty, two major improvements were made to the curved plow. One was to increase the desolate blade, which was very suitable for low-lying paddy fields in the south; the other was to shorten the plow shaft and simplify the entire plow into six parts, which was more flexible and convenient, and had higher tillage efficiency.

The drawings drawn by Xu Qilin and the samples brought by the orders are the artifacts that can be considered perfect after improvement.

His Majesty Li Er has read the drawings and instructions. Although he is not as surprised as a horseshoe, he also knows that this is a good thing that lasts for a long time and benefits the country and the people.
