It's like missing, in Chang'an City, Xia Hongsheng hasn't been seen for a month. In the early court, Xia Hongsheng could not be found, and some officials played Xia Hongsheng above the court for not going to the court for no reason, which was a big crime of contempt for the court. As a result, before he even finished speaking, he was pressed down by Li Shimin above the court, and explained that Xia Hongsheng was doing something on his orders, and others should not discuss it or disturb it.

After the early dynasty, the courtiers ignored it openly, and secretly talked about what Xia Hongsheng was doing. Now Xia Hongsheng's status in the emperor's mind can be seen by anyone. Don't say anything else, let's just say that this Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, who dares to call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Chengqian and Li Chengqian by his name in the palace all day long? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this emperor is treating Xia Hongsheng as a nephew, otherwise, in this court, except for the few bigwigs who are extremely trusted by the emperor, who else can wander around the East Palace without anything to do, and see the emperor when he talks about it.

Therefore, Xia Hongsheng's actions can reflect the emperor's intentions to a large extent. It is precisely because of this that the courtiers don't care about what Xia Hongsheng has done when he disappeared during this time, but they are all sensitive underneath.

The amount of work involved in compiling a comprehensive and perfect bill is enormous. Not to mention a person.

"Hui'er, you go to the study, if Hongsheng sees you, he will definitely be very happy." In the back hall, my sister-in-law looked at Xu Hui and said.

"Brother Xia is busy, and his father said that he couldn't tell Hui'er about this matter, and His Majesty also ordered that Brother Xia should not be disturbed. It's just that Hui'er asked that some of them were revealed. Xu Hui smiled and shook her head. said: "Hui'er won't bother Brother Xia anymore. Finished writing as soon as possible. Hui'er went to talk to Brother Xia again. ”

"Yes, since the junior brother is busy, it is inconvenient for Hui'er to disturb." Xu Qixian, who came together, said on the side: "When I came, my uncle specially explained to us, don't disturb my junior brother." ”

"Go, you go to meet him, Hongsheng is happy in his heart, maybe he will write faster." The sister-in-law smiled: "Besides, he has already written this morning." I'm also worried that his body can't bear it, so Hui'er went to talk to him, and let him rest for a while, go quickly! ”

As he spoke, he suddenly heard a surprised voice from outside: "Hui'er? Brother Xu? ”

"Brother Xia!" Just by hearing the voice, the people in the back hall knew who was coming. Xu Hui also stood up in surprise, looked out the door, and saw Xia Hongsheng walking in with a box of tea.

Xia Hongsheng came in from outside, and asked very unexpectedly and happily, "Hui'er, why are you here?" ”

"It's been more than a month. I didn't see Brother Xia, so I asked my father. said that His Majesty didn't know what was arranged for Brother Xia. Xu Hui smiled slightly and said, "Today, my brother said that he wanted to come and have a look, and Hui'er came with him." ”

"Since you're here, why don't you look for me in the study?" Xia Hongsheng asked.

Xu Hui shook his head and replied, "Before coming over, my father deliberately explained that he couldn't bother Brother Xia, saying that Brother Xia had the important tasks arranged by His Majesty, and asked Hui'er not to disturb his thoughts. ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled bitterly when he heard this, shook his head, and said: "Where is it so serious, in the past month, I have hardly come out of the study, I eat and live in it, I do one thing every day, and I dream about it at night." It's good that the two of you are here today, and I will simply take this opportunity to rest for a day, otherwise, I will really be unbearable. ”

"What the hell is going on? can tire you out like this. Xu Qixian was very curious: "Senior brother, you can reveal a little bit to Brother Wei, which is not so important, so that Brother Wei also knows." ”

"Yes, Brother Xia, you seem to be a lot haggard." Xu Hui also looked at Xia Hongsheng with worried eyes and said.

Xia Hongsheng grinned: "It's okay, it's almost finished, and it's almost all left to finish through the final smoothing from beginning to end." As for what it is for, I can only tell you that it is making a law, and I cannot tell you the specific content. ”

"Making the law?!" Xu Qixian was taken aback, and looked at Xia Hongsheng with wide eyes and stunned: "Senior brother, this is ...... No wonder I heard my uncle say that His Majesty strictly ordered the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty not to discuss what you are doing, and not to inquire. It turned out to be ...... Hui'er, you can't say anything about this matter, even your uncle, you know? ”

"Hui'er knows." Xu Hui nodded and said.

Xu was happy to see Xu Hui and Xu Qixian, or because the patent law was finally at an end and was almost completed, so he felt a lot more relaxed, and the anxiety in Xia Hongsheng's heart gradually decreased.

The two stayed for lunch, played all afternoon, and one left Xia Hongsheng's house at sunset.

Xia Hongsheng accompanied them for a day, and sat back in the study at night, but he felt that his mind was clear, and he could know that one by one, with a degree of relaxation, the efficiency was higher.

The draft of the patent bill has been completed, and Xia Hongsheng needs to look at it from beginning to end, think about it carefully, check and fill in the gaps, and see if there is anything to be taken into account, or if the logic is contradictory. Xia Hongsheng tried his best to make sure that the bill he wrote took into account all the circumstances he could, but he naturally knew that things in the world were complicated, and unexpected situations were even more endless. The next step is to hand over this bill to the emperor, and the emperor and his ministers will attack this case, that is, let them take advantage of the loopholes in this law, and then improve it until it is finally finalized. Then Li Shimin issued an edict, and Zhongshu Province formed an edict, which was submitted to Menxia Province for deliberation and approval, and then handed over to Shangshu Province to spread to various places and began to be implemented.

In the past month, Xia Hongsheng has never been out of the house, and every day except for eating and sleeping, the rest of the time is thinking about and writing this patent bill.

The emergence of the patent law can be said to be the most huge one so far among the great changes brought to Datang by Xia Hongsheng after he crossed over to Datang. Thinking that Datang might gradually transform from empirical technology to science and technology, and embarked on the road of developing technology more than a thousand years in advance, Xia Hongsheng's heart was full of excitement. Sometimes when I think of the development that has passed for a long time, the industrial revolution finally appeared in Datang for the first time, I even shudder with excitement.

The manuscript turned over page by page, and the excitement in Xia Hongsheng's heart did not calm down, but became more agitated.

can think of it and write it down, it seems that it can already be taken to Li Shimin to read. (To be continued.) )
