Chapter 518: The Confidence of the Elders
The greatest confidence of the Council of Elders is by no means advanced technology, it is the hole card.
It's not a poetry and song that you know in advance, the historical trend, that's just a prop, the historical trend will be rewritten, and the poetry and song are actually worthless.
Their greatest confidence lies in not asking for help.
The Presbyterian Church has nothing to ask for in this world.
They don't need the money of these vested interests, because the elders have the world's largest gold mine in their name.
They don't need the praise of these vested interests, because they are the most powerful agitators of the new plane.
They don't need these vested interests to dedicate the beauties in the family, because they are experts in finding and training beauties.
They don't need to compromise and make concessions, they just need to wait for the right moment and push it through.
But the elders have something to ask for from the people.
Children from ordinary families formed the core of the Presbyterian army.
These strong men and women make up the core of the labor sector, not to mention the ingenuity of these men and women who sooner or later will become the arms of the Presbyterian Council to conquer the world.
Of course, another rigid need of the Presbyterian Church is that it attaches great importance to the protection of material and spiritual civilization and cultural products.
This is a plan that has lasted for many years, just like after the system is established, the general labor force only has ordinary color brands, and people with a little craftsmanship, that is, people who can start to create wealth for the presbyterian church as craftsmen after co-optation, and the more they cherish it, the more things that the elders will not, the higher the level, such as the paper-cutting technology that was lost in later generations, the people of the presbyterian church do not understand, so they are directly angry.
That's why, the guys who work in the pawnshop give out green signs! Send the immigration point to be allocated. The old master of the jewelry store, who is good at carving, was issued a blue excellent treatment card, and the whole family was sent to Tianjin Wei Handicraft Talent Center. Wang Ganniang, who bought and sold thin horses, was given an orange treatment card, to ensure nutrition and treatment, the next transport ship was in place, a separate cabin was arranged, and it was transported to the imperial capital.
However, for this matter, as long as there is a good start, the Council of Elders is no longer even as anxious as before, no need to do it personally, after the world sees that the elders like these miscellaneous studies, naturally some people will begin to pat on the back, and gradually form a social consensus, plus they have built a relatively close to modern education system in the imperial capital through their efforts, and after a long time, China will continue to cultivate an industrial system that belongs to the Chinese, Make the Chinese invincible in the future.
Of course, this kind of protection work is not brainless protection, and the elders can't look down on those feudal dross and other things, but in addition to intangible cultural heritage, the presbytery also needs to use existing talents to explore things that will appear in the future, such as cross talk.
Although many skilled craftsmen and craftsmen took the subsidies of the imperial capital in the early stage and began to live a beautiful life, the new repertoire produced by the opera troupes from all over the country is also very interesting, and in the next step, the Council of Elders will gradually come up with cross talk, sketches, operas, magic and other forms, but these things alone are far from enough.
If the traditional Chinese drama emphasizes charm but not body, if it really goes on according to the current situation, it is impossible for the European aristocracy to start those court arts in luxury, at least there will be no more ballet, and the European noblewomen will support talented men, so as to feed a drama system, so to speak, there is an ideological system including movies.
Not to mention anything else, although the elders also have wonderful videos of major ballet dance companies, they themselves do not understand this enough, they can say that they just look at the long legs, and they can only slowly explore this.
In terms of art, slowly groping will always find out, and the protection of various tangible and intangible cultural heritage, after basically stabilizing the north, using the surplus resources extracted, in addition to busy preparing for the construction of the Imperial Capital University, the Imperial Capital Museum, and the Imperial Capital Library, in addition to the busy leisure also raised an art troupe, collected and sorted out the technology of many folk industries, and compiled a set of detailed and comprehensive encyclopedias of various crafts and crafts, the title of which was temporarily set as "List of Chinese Cultural and Handicraft Heritage Protection".
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.
Of course, our dear kings also like to kill when they run out, which is also one of the problems.
This also had a great negative impact on the development of ancient China, such cases can be said to abound, and even many of the crafts, arts, and history created by the original Chinese were uploaded to foreign countries, but in the China that created them, they 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 knife, developed a 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, so that the sword has become an important commodity exported to China by the Japanese, and also makes the Ming Dynasty not turn around and imitate the style and process of the Japanese sword to meet the needs of military equipment.
Of course, in the development of military equipment in the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese sword was just a foil.
Therefore, Liang Cunhou is quite sad about this kind of thing, in the old time and space, everything has long been destroyed, and there is no chance and no strength, but now he is in the imperial capital, he has so many resources, power, and such strength, so he naturally does not want such a thing to happen again.
Therefore, under his leadership, many elders brainstormed and went to all parts of the country to publicize and search for skilled craftsmen in various industries, and in addition to protecting them, they also collected and sorted out the craftsmanship passed down from these craftsmen's families through 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 "Heavenly Creations" is very rare, as long as you have read it, you can understand 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 it 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.
For this point, Liang Cunhou also expected in advance, so the method is also very simple, two-pronged, on the one hand, the power of industrialization, so that countless people are bankrupt, even if it is a small craftsman in Egypt, it is not comparable to the terrible power of industrialization, and was defeated by factories far away in China, and finally caused a terrible thing.
Of course, if there is really such a skilled person, there is still a way out, apply for patents and trademarks.
This involves the issue of patent law and trademark law, although there is a lack of discipline, but after studying it, it is found that the laws of later generations are still studied, and it is not more convenient to directly adopt the doctrine than to establish a set of laws and regulations that are relatively perfect for patent protection from scratch.
Through the patent law, craftsmen everywhere are allowed to apply for patents, and all craftsmen who apply for patents can have their skills protected, and no matter who uses their patents in the future, they must be provided with certain compensation to the owners of these patents, so that they can benefit from them.
In addition, the imperial capital has also allocated special funds to provide protection and support for those craftsmen who have mastered superb craftsmanship as much as possible, helping them expand their production capacity and better protect and pass on these rare crafts.
However, the premise is that the masters of these techniques must record the techniques they know in detail and keep them in the patent office, and in the future, once they lose these techniques for various reasons, they can also restore the lost craftsmanship through the preserved records and continue to pass it on.
After Liang Cunhou studied this kind of thing and put it forward, the other elders were also a little interested, so they began to deal with it, but for the officials at the executive level, this is a bit of a fuss, and a little thing from this little businessman is not comparable to real knowledge.
As for what kind of patent protection, officials, businessmen and ordinary people in this era have no awareness of this at all, let alone take the initiative to protect it, and the strategy of protection is basically to hold on to the secret recipe.
This can only be done by gentle means, and if it is easy to use the craftsmen who have mastered these techniques, although this can collect many techniques in a short time, it is not conducive to continuing to allow the craftsmen to exert their initiative in the long run.
Moreover, the "List of Chinese Cultural and Handicraft Heritage Protection" will serve as an open library, and every few years, various industries will be reorganized and supplemented, and various newly created crafts will be added to supplement and continuously improve.
Of course, the "List of Chinese Cultural and Handicraft Heritage Protection" will not be sold as a publicly published book, but as a technical information as a technical reserve, or those singing and paper-cutting skills, which can be checked at any time, otherwise it is equivalent to making many technologies public, if they are all adopted by the Chinese, it is not a big problem, good and bad meat are 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 passed on, Isn't this tantamount to cutting off the Chinese's financial path?
For a long time in later generations, the Chinese did not know the problem of technical barriers, and even in modern times, many departments in China did not know what the issue of patent technology protection was, not to mention anything else, just talking about cunning little devils, who 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 is of low quality, there is no craftsman spirit, and Japan's rice paper is the first in the world. 、
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 like this in later generations in China, and the case of stealing Moutai in Japan, because there are too many traitors in the upper echelons, although the theft failed, it was beaten up by the public and became a diplomatic incident that was impolite to foreign guests, and this kind of thing in this era, the Council of Elders will never let them happen easily, so when sorting out and collecting such technology, the first consideration is the issue of technical protection, not only to protect the interests of the technology owner, And it is also necessary to protect these technologies from being easily acquired by foreigners.
Just as in the future, the Council of Elders is ready to control and limit the technological development of Europe.
Externally, this will have a political and economic and military impact on Europe, and finally reach the level of direct control, but internally, it will have to arrest groups with a tendency to betray the country.
