"Dad, tell you, you can, but let's talk about the ugly things first, I'm not right, you can't beat me anymore, and I want to hear your opinion on the family and how you want to deal with them" Seeing that he couldn't convince his father, Li Chengqian thought about it, but still said the doubts in his heart, and at the same time gave him a preventive shot.

"You are talking nonsense, I let you say it, I just want to see if your plan is feasible, say it, why am I beating you, as for the family, in my plan, I didn't plan to deal with them so quickly at the beginning, and I want to support some more ministers in the court, so that they can form a new family that can be controlled by me, to slowly suppress the previous family, after all, you also know the power of the family, although over the years, Ming Wei has made a big move and knocked out many minions of those families in the officialdom, but the upper forces still don't have much influence, Most of the officials in the world are more or less connected with the family, even those ministers in the court have also received the favor of the family, so the father can only think of this way" After Li Shimin finished speaking, he was quite helpless, and he couldn't be blamed for it, after all, years of experience and vision are like this.

"Dad, your method looks good, but there is a big drawback, that is, these new families you have cultivated will not become a cancer on Datang in the future, so my plan is to completely eliminate the family, I know it is difficult, but as long as I give me some time, it will be fine" Li Chengqian looked at his father after speaking.

"So, you have a way, tell me quickly, what it is" Hearing his eldest son's affirmative answer, Li Shimin said with some excitement.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's nothing more than the public promotion of agriculture and commerce, the new official school, this public act of industry and commerce, it is very easy to understand, that is, we have increased the development of industry and commerce, and we are not influenced by the Confucian agricultural industry and commerce, and give craftsmen and businessmen a proper status, so ......"

"Wait, Gao Ming, this is not right to raise the status of craftsmen and merchants! After all, Shinong Industry and Commerce, that is a consensus that has been formed for thousands of years, and no one knows what the consequences will be if this is broken rashly" Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, he was interrupted by his father's words.

"Dad, although the idea of this farmer has appeared for thousands of years, he must be right, I don't think it is necessary! Take craftsmen as an example, without the creation and invention of this generation of craftsmen, then new things that change our lives will not appear, and have you ever thought about it, this time there is still no cavalry three-piece set I found in ancient books, can our father and son still talk so leisurely when the family is an enemy? There is also the Quyuan plough invented by Sun Lou, is it a great change in the way of planting, and even said, your son and I got out of the toothbrush, such a small thing, is also changing our lives, so to improve the status of these craftsmen, it is very necessary, only when their status is improved, they will have greater enthusiasm to continue to invent and create, to make a change in people's lives of the items, and how to improve, this can be to give them a certain reward, such as a knighthood or the official position of the Ministry of Industry, these are, Even for those who are dedicated to research, they can be given some rewards according to their research and invention, such as a royal medal of science and technology recognized by the state and representing the pinnacle of craftsmen" Li Chengqian told his father his thoughts on industrial reform!

And hearing Li Chengqian's story, Li Shimin was shocked, but also fell into deep contemplation, because these things were something he had never thought about, and even the kings of previous dynasties, few people would pay attention to these, they would be happy to have good things, but from a lot of care, how did these things come about.

"Gao Ming, what you said is good, but my father still thinks that it will be too much, after all, according to what you said, improving the status of craftsmen will inevitably weaken the status of scholars, and if you achieve what you say, it will inevitably cost a lot of money" Li Shimin thought for a long time before slowly saying to Li Chengqian.

"Dad, will this weaken the status of scholars, let's not talk about it, this is a lot of money, then you may be wrong, and this also involves a businessman's problem, Dad, you see, if a craftsman invents a valuable item, for example, this mirror, if a businessman takes a fancy to it, produces it in large quantities, and sells it, you say, will it earn a lot of money, and the merchant makes money, then he will have to pay taxes, then as long as he pays taxes, then the court will have money, then from this lot of money, Wouldn't it be less painful to give a part to the craftsman who invented the mirror, and if the merchant wanted to give money from the inventor craftsman?

And we can also get a patent department, specifically to register the recipe and production process of those craftsmen invented things, as long as this is registered in the patent department, then whoever wants to go to the patent department to buy the formula, and the businessman who has purchased the patent, every year, according to the importance of the patent, give the patent department a sum of money, and this money, the patent department will deduct a certain percentage of the service fee, and the money will be handed over to the craftsman who registered the patent, and for better management, the patent can also be divided into, The use of regional patents, or the exclusive use of patents for life, no matter what kind of it is, the imperial court has the right to protect the businessmen who purchased the patents, that is, those who did not buy patents are not allowed to produce these items, and once someone reports it, then after finding out, his workshop will be directly confiscated, and he will be given a certain punishment, and he will be directly imprisoned.

Of course, this patent also has a term, each patent, when registered, will be assessed according to its value, a term will be assessed, such as a mirror, is ten years, after ten years, the mirror will become a common patent, as long as someone pays money, the patent division will sell to the person who comes to buy, and even say that you will do it yourself, do not come to buy, you can produce it yourself, but if you do not buy it, the commercial tax will be added to it.

Of course, the purchase of a patent with a lifetime exclusive right is not set for a limited number of years, after all, if someone buys a lifetime exclusive right to use, then this patent is his, and no one can take it from him, he can use it for generations, and it is protected by my Datang.

Even if some craftsmen don't want to sell patents, then as long as he pays a sum of money when registering, indicating that the patent is not for sale, then he can also enjoy his own patents, or he wants to dedicate them to the empire, then we can also come up with a corresponding reward scheme.

Anyway, in a word, that is, let no one suffer, of course, as I said, some are still a little immature, and we need to find those professional people to discuss, discuss, and improve it better" Li Chengqian was afraid and scared to say some ideas on how to make money from the things invented by craftsmen, and he also got out of the patents of later generations on a whim.
