"Ladies and gentlemen, I have already reported to the emperor that I, Datang, am ready to implement the provisions of patents, and I am ready to set up a yamen to supervise patents. In the future, if you have any ancestral technology or any new invention, you can take it out and apply for a patent. In the future, if anyone wants to use your technology, they must give you one-tenth of the selling price, and five percent to the imperial court. The imperial court has collected this 5 percent, and it is also obliged to help you crack down on those who do not give you royalties without permission. Therefore, if you have any technology in the future, then don't hide it, take the initiative to take it out, and the government will help you spread it, so that you can also get a lot of benefits. Jingwen said.

And when they heard the news, everyone couldn't help but talk about it. Because in the past, they relied on technical secrecy to obtain continuous benefits, but now that the imperial court is preparing to legislate to let this other person use your technology, it must give you a sum of money. In this way, the scope of technology can be expanded, and not only will it not cause any loss of benefits, but it will also benefit greatly. And after everyone heard the news, they were also a little excited, because they already had some people tempted. A technician who can pass the assessment of the ordnance supervisor and enter the ordnance superintendent, who doesn't have several housekeeping skills! So when they heard the news, they were immediately moved, because if everyone in the world used their own things, then just sitting at home and collecting patent money would be enough to be rich for a lifetime. If you have to hide these technologies by yourself, how many teenagers will be able to get this money!

"My lord, is this technology guaranteed by the imperial court forever?" Someone asked right away.

And Jingwen immediately shook his head and said: "No, we can only guarantee twenty years, once twenty years are over, then your so-called ancestral craftsmanship, even any new invention, then anyone can use it for free." ”

"Isn't that too ......," said one of the technicians, hesitantly.

Jingwen immediately said: "Protect forever, you think beautifully!" Times are advancing. Sooner or later, your craftsmanship will fall behind, and when the time comes, in order to maintain your backward craftsmanship, we will have to dispatch a lot of manpower and material resources to the imperial court, and we will not lose it! Moreover, do you think that with this patent, you can eat dozens of generations? Do you want to rely on this craft forever to exploit everyone in the world? What you think is so beautiful! ”

If these patents are protected forever, the right to benefit will be reached for generations, and the yamen responsible for protecting the patents will probably die in the future. And patents are not always guaranteed by patents, if they can always be protected. Not only will it not stimulate the development of science and technology, but it will make many scientists sleep completely after researching a patent, and they don't want to continue research. In the future, industrial products, a product will definitely be applied to a lot of patents, if it has been protected from generation to generation, then I am afraid that the imperial court does not know how much manpower and material resources will be spent, and the prices of various products will remain high. Science is for the convenience of people, not for the exploitation of people from generation to generation. So, twenty years of patents. It's already very good.

However, not all technicians are unable to understand this twenty-year theory.

"Twenty years is enough, and if we get money from generation to generation, then I am afraid that our future generations will not be willing to learn the craft. Wait for the inheritance of the family business. And the ancients said that if you are born in sorrow and die in peace, if you make a good thing because your ancestors made it, you can enjoy it for generations, and you can get it without paying anything. This one is not good either. And when the time comes, there will always be a day when you will die in peace. So, twenty years is also good. As long as future generations can learn the ancestral craft, and then continue to develop new technologies and techniques on it, and then continue to apply for patents, then this dinner will be rich for generations to come. Therefore, twenty years is enough, as for what will be inherited forever, this is a pit for future generations! ”

And this guy has a certain point, because if future generations are allowed to enjoy their successes from generation to generation, then I am afraid that future generations will become a herd of pigs, unwilling to continue research, and be content with happiness. Therefore, twenty years is not bad, if your own technology diffusion can reach a certain level, then the money earned from the twenty years of patents may be more than the benefits of hundreds of years of methods that you have hidden. It's certainly worth it for a technology to earn what it would normally take hundreds of years to get at a time. And it can stimulate those skilled workers to improve their status, and income is a proof of status. Whether in ancient times or in later generations, income was an important indicator of social status. If the income of officials is not as good as that of ordinary people, then I am afraid they might as well not be officials!

This patent is simply for those skilled workers who can make a fortune as well. In the past, these workers studied their crafts in the hope of obtaining a job that could not be fed and starved to death, but now that the patent bill can give them a channel to make a fortune through the study of technology, then they will naturally be willing to spread the technology. And once the technology spreads out, it is equivalent to the exchange of various technologies, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of sparks. Usually, because everyone cherishes themselves, there is little communication in terms of technology, and this must have caused the slow development of science. And once the patent bill can be realized, I am afraid that the next benefits can be far more than money can be estimated.

Different patents collide and more scientific products can be invented. It's better than everyone hiding and making science unprogressable for hundreds of years. It has to be said that patents can be said to advance the development of science. Jingwen has to admit that in terms of scientific development, I am afraid that Westerners are very strict in the protection of patents, which has made them surpass China in later generations. Although there are many reasons for this, patents are definitely one of the most important. In ancient China, the protection of the interests of inventors of scientific achievements was not strict, which caused an important reason for restricting the development of science.

Now Jingwen has proposed this patent bill, which is tantamount to greatly stimulating the enthusiasm of those craftsmen to invent things. Because they know that the invention of Tongguò can also get rich and rich, and the government can also get benefits from it, so who doesn't want to invent! Once a wave is formed, the progress of science and technology and the development of human civilization will also develop rapidly. (To be continued......)
