Chapter 1109: East Becomes West (102)

The palace is not as heavily guarded as Jiang Ke and the others imagined, and there is no three-step post, five-step and one sentry, on the contrary, after passing through Guò Central Street to the royal city, the two of them saw a bustling flow of people, and the signs hanging at the door marked the owners of some palaces, and naturally some officials came and went. The two of them naturally didn't know that the original huge palace of the Yan Dynasty now really belonged to less than one-third of the original residence of Gao Yuan, and the rest of the places were all turned into offices of various government departments.

After walking for more than half an hour, the guards brought the two to the door of the Weimin Palace, He Weiyuan, who was guarding the door, waved his head, and the guards around him walked over, carefully searched the three of them, and nodded at He Weiyuan, He Weiyuan then said: "You three, come with me!"

Jiang Dalang, Ke Zhen, and Ning Yuan followed behind He Weiyuan tremblingly, and walked towards the main hall, the three of them didn't recognize He Weiyuan, how did they know that He Weiyuan was the commander of the guards of the King of Han, but they were afraid that their legs and stomachs would turn again.

The Weimin Hall is a side hall, which is much smaller than the Qinzheng Hall where Gao Yuan Pingsu summoned the ministers. But even so, the three people who walked into the Weimin Hall were still shocked by this spacious and magnificent place. Following behind He Weiyuan, the three of them didn't dare to raise their heads at this time, and only He Weiyuan's voice was heard in their ears.

"Wang Shang, Jiang Dalang, Ke Zhen, and Ning Yuan have already been brought."

Hearing this voice, the three of them knelt on the ground in unison, Jiang Dalang used his hands and feet at the same time, climbed a few steps forward, touched the ground with his head, and made a bang: "The king is shengming, the king is shengming, please let the king be the master of the grass people!"

Originally, Jiang Dalang had no hope, and the judgment of Justice Jing Shou was naturally known to some well-intentioned people, but he was suddenly mentioned in the palace by the King of Han, which gave him a little hope, and the king must have sympathized with him, otherwise he would not have paid attention to such a trivial matter.

In Jiang Dalang's view, in the eyes of the king, this matter between himself and Ke Zhen is naturally a matter that cannot be smaller, but as everyone knows, in Gao Yuan's eyes, behind this matter is a matter that cannot be bigger.

Hearing Jiang Dalang's pleading, Ke Zhen's body trembled violently, what Jiang Dalang thought, he naturally thought of, and Ning Yuan beside him was already lying on the ground weakly, sweating like pulp, where could he still speak.

"You three, get up!" Gao Yuan looked at the three people kneeling in front of him and said lightly.

"The grass people don't dare, the grass people don't dare!"

"Let the king get up, and you will get up!" Although He Weiyuan on the side deliberately lowered his voice, he still shook the three of them and quickly got up.

"Ning Yuan, this is the soap you developed?" On the desk next to Gao Yuan, there were a few square, brown brick-like things.

Ning Yuan raised his head tremblingly, Gao Yuan next to the big case was dressed in civilian clothes, washed a little white, sitting there very casually, looking at it, there was no difference from ordinary people, which made his heart settle a little. Glancing at the things on the big case, he nodded: "Back to the king, yes."

"Tell me how you got this thing out, right?" Gao Yuan's voice is still faint.

Ning Yuan's body trembled very much, but he pursed his lips tightly, and he didn't say anything, and He Weiyuan on the side was furious, "Ning Yuan, didn't you hear what the king said?"

Looking at Ning Yuan's reaction, Gao Yuan suddenly laughed, "This is the capital of his life, so he naturally refuses to say it lightly, because once this thing is put to the letter, it will be worthless, it is very simple."

Jiang Dalang raised his head incredulously and looked at Gao Yuan, if this thing is very simple, it took him so long and invested thousands of taels of silver?

Gao Yuan stretched out his hand to pick up the square on the table, and said with a smile: "This thing is actually made by mixing grease and caustic soda, there is nothing unusual, Wei Yuan, it's simple, right?"

He Weiyuan's eyes widened, "It's so simple? It can't be, right?"

"What's impossible, to put it bluntly, it's naturally simple, but the first person to discover that it can be done to make soap, it's not easy." Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Jiang Dalang, when did this Ning Yuan find you?"

"Back to the king, Ning Yuan found me a year ago, the grass people run a grocery store, this Ning Yuan used to specialize in making soap horn powder, and has always been for the grass people's shops to sell, a year ago he found me, took out a small piece of this soap, said that he developed a new technology, that is, this soap, but it is still very immature, but he has no money, if I can fund him, this technology will belong to the grass people in the future."

"So you hired him to be the master and provide him with money and food every month, so that he could concentrate on this, didn't you?" Takato asked.

"Yes, the king encouraged new technology, and the grass people saw that the small piece of things he brought, cleaning the stains was indeed very effective, so he was moved, and after a year, the grass people gave him thousands of taels of silver intermittently, but then he just succeeded, but he was robbed by the Ke family." Jiang Dalang glared angrily at Ke Zhen.

Gao Yuan's gaze turned to Ke Zhen again, "Ke Zhen, did you find this Ning Yuan, or did this Ning Yuan come to you?"

Ke Zhen was also shocked at this time, "Back to the king, it is the villain that Ning Yuan is looking for, saying that the Jiang family treats him badly and treats him harshly, he is willing to take this soap and cooperate with me, he gave it to me, and it is this kind of square, Xiaomin tried it, it is indeed very useful, this kind of new thing, there is no such thing on the market, the grass people think that as long as this is listed, he will definitely be able to make a fortune, who told that Jiang Dalang did not treat Ning Yuan well so that he let him join my family?" So the villain promised to give him a hundred percent of the shares, and at the same time a monthly salary of one hundred taels of silver."

Gao Yuan smiled and looked at Ning Yuan, "Ning Yuan, you are really a talent, of course, I don't mean that you are talented in scientific research, this kind of soap is not difficult, the key is to get out of it first, I think, when you first found the Jiang family, you were already able to make this thing, but you were very greedy, first squeezed the Jiang family's silver money for a year, and then used some people to spread the news to the Ke family, causing the Ke family to find you at a higher price, right?"

Ning Yuan's teeth fought up and down, rattling.

Gao Yuan took a deep breath: "I still know more things, Ning Yuan, do you want me to say them one by one?"

"The king spares his life, the king spares his life!" Ning Yuan fell to his knees with a thud.

Gao Yuan shook his head, "Although you have a bad character, this soap is indeed the first one you made, but you have not committed a capital crime, what do I want your life for?" Wei Yuan, take this person down, send him out of the palace, give him a sum of money, sue him, keep your mouth shut from now on, dare to say one more word, this life will be unnecessary."

"Yes!" He Weiyuan nodded, stepped forward and picked up the trembling Ning Yuan, and strode out.

"You two understand now, right? Although Ning Yuan invented this thing, he didn't understand the real market value of this thing, and when he found out that Jiang Dalang was willing to pay a thousand dollars to fund him, it made him feel a little realised, but at this time, he had already used so much of your silver, and if he wanted to negotiate with you again, it must be difficult to negotiate, so he found the Ke family again, and the Ke family went into the water, so that the Ke family could become his shield, and he could get more benefits from the Ke family."

Although Jiang Dalang and Ke Zhen understood at this time, they were still glaring at each other like aggressive roosters.

"I came to you today because this matter has become the introduction of a very great matter, the Great Council is already discussing formal legislation, the name is called the Patent Protection Law, whoever takes the lead in making an invention in the future, as long as it is registered in a special department and approved by the imperial court, then the invention right of this thing belongs to him, and anyone who produces the same thing in the future must pay the inventor to ensure the innovation of science and technology."

When Jiang Dalang heard this, he was already overjoyed, "Your Majesty, although this thing was invented by Ning Yuan, the villain invested thousands of taels of silver for it, and the sovereignty of this thing should belong to me."

"Nonsense, Ning Yuan invented this thing a long time ago, he just wanted to cheat you out of your money, your thousands of taels of silver were not used for this invention at all, he has now sold it to me, but I signed a peace agreement with him." Ke Zhen retorted.

"Okay, don't fight, I have a solution here, do you think it's feasible?" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"It's all up to the king's judgment." The two of them paused together.

"The two of you have also been teased by this Ning Yuan, so you have fallen into this matter, both of you have spent a lot of silver, then, the ownership of this thing will belong to the two of you, this thing, the principle is not difficult, if the two of you continue to fight like this, maybe another smart person will get it out again, and you will be beaten with chickens and eggs. With the king's will, why don't you two cooperate on this, set up a workshop, work together, and make a fortune together?"

Jiang Dalang and Ke Zhen glanced at each other, and both nodded helplessly, since the king has spoken, what else is there to fight?

Gao Yuan smiled and picked up a piece of soap and swiped it in his hand, "Actually, this thing is still a rudimentary thing, and there may be a lot of tricks here!" Today, this king is interested, so I will also mention to you, this soap can indeed clean stains, but different applicable people and counties, the requirements for him are actually different, for example, ordinary people's homes, they think it's good to have this, but some other people, can't help but think that the appearance of this thing is not very good-looking, isn't it?" Gao Yuan sniffed, "And after washing it with it, there is inevitably a smell on the body, right?"

"Yes, it does smell!" Ke Zhen used this thing and nodded.

"What if you put some special flavors in it? Is it possible to change his original taste?" Gao Yuan smiled Mimi authentically.

"For example, ordinary people can just use it to clean stains, but do those noble ladies and ladies still want to protect their beautiful faces and delicate skin? Well, wouldn't it be better if you could add some mesograsslands to it?"

The two of them looked at Gao Yuan dumbfounded, how could they not think of the king, who had all kinds of opportunities, how could he still have research on this thing?

"If you agree, I think the kingdom can help in this regard."

Ke Zhen was smarter than Jiang Dalang, and when he heard Gao Yuan's words, he immediately stepped forward and gave Gao Yuan a deep look, "If that's the case, the grass people are willing to give half of the shares to the king. I just want to ask the king to make this a product exclusively for the royal palace. In the future, the products produced in the grass people's workshops will be able to be printed with such a word."

Gao Yuan was stunned at first, and then laughed, "You are a businessman."

"The villain is also willing to give up half of the shares, and only ask the king to name the product himself."

Listening to the words of the two, Gao Yuan laughed, and without paying attention, he became a major shareholder again, "Okay, good, this thing will be called Procter & Gamble in the future, Procter & Gamble brand soap, there will be Procter & Gamble brand soap and so on and so on in the future!"
