Of course, Xiao Tianjian's dream of mechanization is not all smooth sailing, even if he has the essence of later mechanics, but under the constraints of productivity in this era, he is still unlikely to manufacture all kinds of machinery at once.

However, for this matter, as long as there is a good start, Xiao Tianjian is no longer as anxious as before, after the world sees the superiority of the machine, it will naturally accept, and gradually become dependent on them, plus he has built a relatively close to the modern education system through his efforts, and after a long time, he will continue to cultivate designers belonging to the Chinese, making the Chinese invincible in the future.

But in addition to machine tools, Xiao Tianjian also needs skilled workers, although there are many craftsmen in the early stage of the Royal Machinery Factory, than the gourd painting scoop to help Xiao Tianjian manufacture a boring machine, and the next step Xiao Tianjian will gradually design a lathe, milling machine, drilling machine, punch and other machine tools, but these machines alone are far from enough.

With machines, there is also a need for skilled workers who can operate these machines in the future, so Xiao Tianjian decided to recruit some children of craftsmen for training on the basis of the machine factory, and set up a technical school specializing in training skilled workers, so that it can become a place where skilled workers can be continuously trained for Dazhong and North Korea.

In addition, after Xiao Tianjian formed the cabinet, he used his spare time to prepare for the construction of the Royal Machinery Manufacturing Factory and design various machinery in his spare time, but also ordered the Ministry of Industry to take the lead in collecting and sorting out the technologies of many private industries and compiling a set of detailed and comprehensive encyclopedias of various crafts, and the title of the book was set as "The Complete Book of Dazhong Tiangong".

For thousands of years in China, countless generations of craftsmen from various dynasties and industries have exerted their wisdom and created a lot of crafts and products, but the habits of Chinese craftsmen are very bad. However, many excellent crafts can not be effectively passed on, and once a craftsman family has a major change, many very good craft means will be lost in the long river of history.

This has also had a great negative impact on China's future development, and such examples can be said to abound, and even many of the crafts created by the original Chinese have been uploaded to foreign countries in history, but in the China that created them, they have gradually disappeared.

A very direct example, for example, in the sword technology, before the Tang Dynasty in China, the famous horizontal knife and Mo knife were created, and the process of casting swords has gradually declined after hundreds of years of dynastic changes to this era, and in this era, in the casting process of swords, it has even lagged behind the small country of Japan.

The casting process of the sword in the Tang Dynasty was transmitted to Japan, and the Japanese craftsmen through continuous learning and absorption and development, on the basis of the horizontal sword, developed the Japanese sword with superior performance, and now the quality of the Japanese sword has exceeded the quality of the sword cast by the Chinese craftsmen, making the sword an important commodity exported to China by the Japanese, and also making the Ming Dynasty not turn around and imitate the style and process of the Japanese sword to meet the needs of military equipment.

Therefore, Xiao Tianjian is quite distressed about such a thing, he didn't have the opportunity to have no strength before, but now that he is the emperor of the Great Middle Dynasty, he not only has power, but also has such strength, so he naturally doesn't want to have such a thing again.

Therefore, he ordered the Ministry of Industry to take the lead and sent people to all parts of the country to search for skilled craftsmen in various industries, and in addition to protecting them, he also collected and sorted out the craftsmanship passed down by these craftsmen's families through the means of government decrees, and summarized them into books by category, so as to preserve these rare crafts and pass them on in the future.

Although Song Yingxing's "Tiangong Kaiwu" is very rare, Xiao Tianjian still thinks that although it records the technology of many industries, this book is far from being detailed, and many technological means are just a general record of some processes, and they cannot reflect the many technologies that have been inherited in China for thousands of years, and they must be improved.

Such an approach will certainly attract opposition from some craftsmen, because in their opinion, once the skills they have passed down are known to "outsiders", it is likely to affect their own livelihood and even the future generations in the future, and they will definitely not honestly dedicate the skills they have mastered.

Xiao Tianjian also anticipated this in advance, and at the same time he proposed that the Ministry of Industry take the lead in sorting out the technical technology of various industries in various places, he discussed with the officials of the Ministry of Industry and put forward the concept of patents in China for the first time.

Xiao Tianjian proposed in the Ministry of Industry that a relatively complete set of laws and regulations on patent protection should be established, that is, the first patent law in China should be codified.

Through the patent law, craftsmen from all over the country can apply for patents, and all craftsmen who have applied for patents can have their skills protected, whether they are used by the imperial court in the future, or individuals who use their patents, they must be provided with certain compensation for these patent owners, so that they can obtain benefits from them.

In addition, Xiao Tianjian also proposed that local governments should provide protection and support for these craftsmen who have mastered superb craftsmanship as much as possible, help them expand their production capacity, and better protect and pass on these rare crafts.

However, the premise is that the masters of these technological means must record the craftsmanship they know in detail and keep it in the patent office of the Ministry of Industry, and once they lose these techniques for various reasons in the future, the Ministry of Industry can also restore the lost technological means through the records they have kept, and continue to pass them on.

After Xiao Tianjian raised this kind of thing, the Ministry of Industry began to deal with it, but for many officials, they felt that Xiao Tianjian was making a bit of a fuss about it, this is not the king's land under the whole world, and the craftsman is also his Xiao Tianjian's courtiers.

As for what kind of patent protection, officials and ordinary people in this era have no awareness of this at all, let alone take the initiative to protect it, and what patent protection Xiao Tianjian proposed, in their opinion, is simply a superfluous move.

Many people think that as long as the emperor wants something, it is enough to go to the craftsmen and ask for it, so why give them money again, and protect their interests? If anyone refuses to hand them over, they only need to be detained and put down on the board, and they will not dare not say anything.

However, Xiao Tianjian made it clear in the Ministry of Industry that this matter can only be handled by soft means, and the local government is never allowed to use the craftsmen who have mastered these techniques in order to collect these technological means, although this can collect and sort out many craftsmanship techniques in a short time, but for the long term, it is not conducive to continuing to let the craftsmen exert their initiative.

And this set of "Dazhong Tiangong Quanshu" will be used as an open library, every few years, to reorganize and supplement various industries, to add a variety of newly created processes, and constantly improve.

Of course, this set of "Dazhong Tiangong Quanshu" will not be sold as a publicly published book, but as a technical information placed in the Ministry of Industry as a technical reserve, which can be referenced at any time, otherwise it will be equivalent to making many technologies public, if they are all adopted by the Chinese, it is not a big problem, the good and bad meat are all in the pot, but with the development of cultural exchanges between the East and the West, once it is made public, many skills will be circulated, which is not equivalent to cutting off the financial road of the Chinese?

Xiao Tianjian knew that for a long time in later generations, the Chinese did not know about the problem of technical barriers, and even in modern times, many departments in China did not know what patent technology protection issues, not to mention anything else, just talking about cunning little devils, they got a lot of ancient technology from China.

For example, the technology of rice paper, after World War II, the Japanese have long coveted China's rice paper manufacturing technology, from the Qing Dynasty to try their best to steal the rice paper manufacturing technology back, but has not succeeded, in the seventies, the Japanese sent a business delegation to China, originally wanted to talk about the problem of cooperating with China to produce rice paper, but some Chinese officials, actually stupidly took the little devil to visit the rice paper factory, and the entire production process of rice paper was made transparent to the little devil. As a result, the little devil happily went back to Japan, and the matter of cooperative production was naturally not mentioned, and it didn't take long for Japan's industrialized rice paper to be put on the market, and Tian shamelessly said that China's rice paper was the first, Japan's rice paper was the second, but Japan's rice paper output far exceeded China's.

There is also artemisinin developed by Chinese scientist Tu Youyou in order to prevent and control malaria, the Chinese do not know how to protect themselves, according to the requirements of cunning foreigners, what academic seminars to hold, with the requirements of political tasks, let Tu Youyou make the entire development of artemisinin public, the result is that the Chinese themselves did not apply for a patent for artemisinin, but let foreigners apply for a patent for artemisinin, used to make a windfall in mass production, but Tu Youyou, as the inventor, has no patent right to this, and let foreigners make a windfall in vain.

There are too many similar things happening in China in later generations, and this kind of thing will never be easily allowed to happen in this era, so when sorting out and collecting such technologies, Xiao Tianjian's first consideration is the issue of technology protection, not only to protect the interests of technology owners, but also to protect these technologies can not be easily taken away by foreigners.

Not only that, Xiao Tianjian also ordered the Ministry of Industry to find a way to integrate Western inventions and technologies into the "Dazhong Tiangong Quanshu" as much as possible through exchanges with Western missionaries, and summarize them in different categories.

The things included in this set of books are not only limited to various production technologies, but are divided into several major sections, including mining and metallurgy, agriculture, animal husbandry, medicine, construction, textiles, ceramics, shipbuilding, machinery, weapons, and so on.

Each major subject is divided into various small subjects, such as metallurgy, including prospecting, beneficiation, mining, smelting, casting and other technologies of various metallic minerals or non-metallic minerals.

Agriculture includes the varieties, planting, selection, breeding, harvesting, production, etc. of various crops, including the field of forestry.

Animal husbandry is divided into fishery and animal husbandry, including varieties of various livestock products, selection, breeding, breeding, hybridization and so on.

Buildings include water conservancy, roads, various building construction, bridges, and so on.

……

In short, as long as there are industries, they will collect as much as possible, this matter will be a very huge project, once it is done, it is undoubtedly a great achievement for Xiao Tianjian, and it will play a role that cannot be ignored for China's scientific and technological development.

In order to do this well, Xiao Tianjian simply transferred Song Yingxing to the Ministry of Industry, specifically responsible for the compilation of this set of "Dazhong Tiangong Quanshu", after all, he had compiled the book "Tiangong Kaiwu" before, and has accumulated quite a lot of experience, and this set of "Dazhong Tiangong Quanshu" can be called an extension and expansion on the basis of the book "Tiangong Kaiwu", no one can do this more suitable than him.

In addition to compiling this set of books, Xiao Tianjian also told Song Yingxing that while compiling this set of books, they should also find ways to study and quantify various processes as much as possible, not to use a few words to replace them, and to find a way to figure out the root cause of why these technologies came into being.

The development of many technologies in China is produced through continuous exploration and attempt, but such methods only achieve the goal, but do not develop into disciplines, and many people who invent these technologies only know what they are but do not know why, and the result is that technology cannot drive the development of disciplines.

Cabinet ministers and many officials believe that now that the DPRK has newly established the DPRK, it is precisely when there is a need to employ people and money everywhere, and Xiao Tianjian proposed that such a grand project would be a waste of manpower and financial resources, and proposed that the compilation of the "Dazhong Tiangong Quanshu" be postponed for another 10 years or 8 years.

But Xiao Tianjian believes that this is not a reason for delay, even if the current conditions are limited, but the sooner this matter is carried out, the better, even if there are not enough manpower and financial resources, this matter must be done first, let Song Yingxing preside over this matter first, gradually improve, and the time can even be extended, but this matter must be carried out first.

So after Song Yingxing was ordered, he was very excited, and immediately selected dozens of people to start the preparatory work, and first framed this set of books, some of whom were responsible for sorting out various related ancient books, and some of them were immediately sent to various places to collect and sort out the technology of various industries.

For this reason, in accordance with Xiao Tianjian's requirements, the household department also allocated the first batch of funds, as their start-up funds, although the number of funds was cut by the cabinet at once, but Xiao Tianjian also knew the difficulties of the household department, and now there are too many places to spend money, so after the cabinet discussed, he cut off more than half of the expenses, and he did not insist too much, but retreated and adopted the cabinet's opinion.

To a certain extent, Xiao Tianjian, a strong emperor, has begun to compromise the power of the cabinet to a certain extent, which makes the cabinet ministers very happy, so this matter is gradually carried out under such circumstances.
