Another hour has passed, and the Twelfth Chariot is still very accurate, which makes everyone marvel again and again, and the amazement of these rich merchants contains endless benefits. Fastest update access: щщщ.79XS.сОΜ.

With the commercialization of the whole country, time is becoming more and more important, and the concept of time in the smallholder economy is relatively weak, that is, the sunrise works, the day comes in and rests, and there are two moments a day, and there will be no specific moment, because there is no need. But commercialization requires the exact time to be calculated, because workers cannot be allowed to work at sunrise and rest every day, so that in this case, summer is a late commute, winter is an early start and a late work, and sunny days are different from 'cloudy' days.

The advent of clocks and watches is actually because of demand, even if it does not appear today, everyone will think of ways to find ways in this direction, how to make the time accurate, as long as the demand must have benefits, there are benefits, and funds can be obtained.

It can be seen that as long as the patent is applied, the funding is by no means a problem.

Why did Li Chunfeng say that he applied for a patent first and raised funds, that is, this big cabinet still can't be commercialized, and it has to be made smaller, at least it can be put in the living room, and it still has commodity value.

Han Yi also nodded with satisfaction, and came to the house with Li Chunfeng, Qiu Mo, and an official from the patent office to discuss the application for a patent.

"Brother Han, although this Twelve Chen Chariot was conceived by the villain, but without Li Taishi, it is impossible for the villain to make it, if the patent application is successful, it should be jointly owned by the villain and Li Taishi." Qiu Mo said very directly.

Li Chunfeng waved his hand and said: "The old man has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, and the old man helps you, just out of interest, not for anything else, and you don't need to give profit to the old man." ”

Qiu Mo said: "How can this be done, the villain is ashamed!" ”

Han Yi sat on the side and suddenly laughed.

Li Chunfeng asked curiously: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Han Yi said: "Li Taishi, there is a term in business, called celebrity effect, take myself as an example, I am still a little famous in the business world, so as long as the product is from Fengfeilou, the people must be interested." In the same way, whether this Twelve Chen Chariot is from Qiu Mo's hand, or from the hands of the two of you, the difference is very big, if it can be named Li Taishi, it will attract the attention of many people, and it is full of trust in this Twelvechen Chariot, and it can also attract more investment, in short, it is a lot of benefits. ”

"I see!"

Li Chunfeng glanced at Qiu Mo.

Qiu Mo was so frightened that he sweated out, and hurriedly said: "The villain definitely didn't mean this, definitely not that." ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you have this intention or not, the key is that I think this is a win-win situation, common ownership, it's good for both of you, although Qiu Mo gave up some of his benefits, but he can get more, if Li Taishi hopes that this Twelve Chen Chariot can do better, then don't shirk." ”

Li Chunfeng still seemed a little hesitant, after all, he was a scholar, and he felt that doing so violated his traditional values.

Han Yi said again: "Otherwise, the profits from this patent, you will get three or seven points, Li Taishi will get three, Qiu Mo will get seven, Li Taishi can declare that he will use the money to do good deeds, or donate it to the Sixth Academy of Sages for research and development, this is okay, and this will not damage Li Taishi's reputation." ”

Li Chunfeng's eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile and said, "That's not bad." ”

Qiu Mo was also overjoyed, he originally thought that he would be satisfied if he had 30%, after all, the status of him and Li Chunfeng was too far apart, of course, he would give as much as Li Chunfeng wanted.

Han Yi said again: "In addition, if you want to make a commodity, I think this name should also be changed, it is called the Twelve Chen Chariot, this is a bit awkward, you have to change it to a simple and smooth one, such as what clock." ”

The official of the patent office suddenly said: "Li Taishi Dao is called Huang Guanzi, or he is called Huang Guanzhong." ”

Huang Guanzhong? Han Yi glared at the official with a dark face, and said, "This name is not good, just call it Taishi Zhong." ”

Li Chunfeng waved his hand and said, "The old man will call it Qiu Mozhong directly." In this way, it can also 'inspire' more people to invent and create. ”

It's just that if he invents it, the people will also feel that this is what it should be, if he doesn't have the ability, how can he be a Taishi, but Qiu Mo is a craftsman, if Qiu Mo invents, the people will think, Qiu Mo can do it, then I can do it too.

Han Yi nodded with a smile and said, "It's still Li Taishi who thinks about it carefully, that's okay, let's call Qiu Mozhong." ”

Qiu Mo's face turned red and said, "This... How can this work, little... Villain.... ”

"Don't be a villain!" Han Yi said: "It won't be long before you become a famous wealthy businessman in Chang'an, and this habit has to be changed." ”

"Haha......"

But applying for a patent is not a day or two, and the patent office has to 'spend' some time to observe.

Han Yi also forgot the purpose of his visit, so he didn't forget, he didn't have the time to check the information, so he could only come back tomorrow.

In the evening, Li Chunfeng and Han Yi went out of the patent office together, but before leaving, Li Chunfeng said: "Brother Han, now the people's demand for steel and forging seems to be increasing, but there are obviously many deficiencies in this technology, there are some things, we can think of it, but we can't do it, and our sage six courts have improved this steelmaking technology a lot, but the old man thinks that it can go further, if the court can allocate some more money to the sage six courts......." ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "I'll figure out a way to do this." ”

Li Chunfeng smiled and nodded.

After saying goodbye to Li Chunfeng, Han Yi took the carriage home, and when he came to the 'door', he happened to meet Yuan Peony, who had just returned.

"Yuan Zhe and Yuan Xiu are missing arms, or are they missing 'legs', so it makes no sense for my wife to be so busy."

Han Yi stepped forward and held Yuan Peony's slender waist with one hand, but his mouth was complaining.

Yuan Peony glared at him and said, "What nonsense, they are not idle, aren't they busy taking care of trade with the merchants of the Northwest." ”

Han Yi was curious: "Then what are you busy with during this time?" ”

"Let's go inside!"

When the two came to the house, Yuan Peony didn't wait for the tea to be served, and said, "I have been managing the steelmaking workshop for a few days. ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "I remember, you also mentioned this before." ”

Yuan Peony said: "As far as I know, the Sixth Academy of Sages has been studying steelmaking technology. ”

Han Yi said: "You also know this. ”

Yuan Peony said: "There is constantly steel transported to the Sixth Courtyard of the Sage, do you think you can hide it?" ”

"I can't hide it, it's been full for so many years." Han Yi didn't have a good airway.

Yuan Peony smiled embarrassedly, because not everyone really knew about this matter, it was she who specially sent someone to investigate, and said: "I think we can cooperate, I know that smelting technology is a state secret, but our Yuan family can guarantee that it will never be 'exposed', and we are willing to share this smelting technology with the country." ”

Hey! What a coincidence! Han Yi couldn't help but be stunned.

Yuan Peony said: "After all, the research of the Six Academies of the Sage has to rely on the appropriation of the imperial court, and steelmaking is very expensive, and at the same time, steel is very important for machines now, our Yuan family is making every effort to improve the steelmaking technology, if we can cooperate with the Six Academies of the Sage, I believe that this is very beneficial to us and the whole country." ”

Han Yi smiled: "If you kiss me, I will promise you." ”

Yuan Peony was stunned for a long time, and said angrily: "I'm talking to you about business." ”

Han Yi shrugged and said, "So I'm using the public to seek 'private', and that's what I'm an official for." ”

"You..." Yuan Peony said angrily: "If you don't agree, forget it, our Yuan family can do it ourselves." ”

"Alright then!" Han Yi nodded, and asked again: "When do you have free time, let's go live in the manor, I've been busy for the past few days." ”

Yuan Peony saw that he really changed the topic, and he hated it so much that he wanted to beat Han Yi down, and he also knew the 'sex' character of this guy, so he bit his 'lip' lightly, and said with a red face: "I... I'm going to... If you kissed, would you really say yes? ”

Han Yi said: "Do I dare to lie to you? ”

"Are you still cheating?"

"Then I swear, I won't lie to you this time."

Yuan Peony glanced at him angrily, in fact, they are all old husbands and wives, even if she doesn't kiss now, she doesn't have to give Han Yi a kiss at night, she hates it so much, but there is no way, who let her stand up to such a husband, it is very rare to take the initiative to offer the delicate 'glamorous' and 'desire' red 'lips'.

She originally wanted to kiss Han Yi's face, but Han Yi suddenly turned her head and 'kissed' her full, ruddy lips at once, and at the same time hugged her with both hands, and 'kissed' for a while before she would stop.

Yuan Peony was lying in Han Yi's arms, panting, her face was like a sunset, and there was a rare charming 'color' on her face, and she said, "You are always satisfied with this." ”

Han Yi still didn't finish: "Of course I'm not satisfied, the time is too short, and it doesn't meet the value of this deal at all." ”

"You ......"

"Listen to me first." Han Yi said: "If you are not satisfied, you will not be satisfied, but I will definitely keep my promise, there is no problem with this, I agreed." ”

Yuan Peony was surprised: "But this is a matter of court secrets, you just agree, will people be impeached?" ”

Han Yi smiled: "No, I met Li Taishi earlier, and he happened to be telling me that steelmaking needs funds, and I was just about to talk to you about it, but I didn't expect you to send it to the 'door' yourself, haha......" ”

"You... You bastard. ”

Yuan Peony was so angry that his face was flushed, and he raised his pink fist.

Han Yi grabbed it easily, and suddenly kissed it, this hand is not his strong point, but his mouth is.

But this is really not a coincidence, because the relationship between capital, the market, the productive forces, the means of production, and the technology is mutually reinforcing, and they make progress together.

Because the emergence of capital is bound to expand the market, the market expands, then the demand increases, the demand increases, the capital will increase the investment in the productive forces, and strive to meet the demand, first of all, it is sure to recruit more labor, and the increase of the labor force will further expand the market, and the demand will further increase, so that the productivity must be further improved, then the machine will inevitably appear, but to appear the machine, the capital must increase the investment in technology.

The emergence of water-powered spinning machines and the expansion of the market, so that many wealthy businessmen are now pursuing machine research and development, then smelting and forging, mining technology, has become the industry that the wealthy businessmen are most concerned about, these are the industries that belong to the monopoly of the imperial court, the people do not need much, give me a rake on it, few businessmen are interested in this, but now it is different.

In fact, this has reached a bottleneck.

But this bottleneck came a little too quickly, and Han Yi was a little unexpected, according to his plan, at least until the overall market of the canal generation stabilized, it would not promote this.

However, this will not 'disrupt' his plan, as long as there are no problems with food and textiles, the demand in other areas will not cause 'chaos' and 'chaos'.

And when Han Yi was busy with trade, Changsun Yan and Cui Jijian were not idle, they had been busy revising the law, this time the revision of the law was mainly to cooperate with the imperial court's idea of ruling by inaction, because the proposition is a very empty 'hole' thing, just publicizing it in the newspaper, this is still not enough, you have to have a practical policy to reflect your proposition.

In the minister's view, before promulgating other policies, it is necessary to revise and improve the law, and before revising the law, it is necessary to determine whether a legal idea is based on Confucianism or law.

The controversy between the two factions in the DPRK and China is very 'fierce', and this is not a dispute between important ministers, but an argument in the entire court.

The cardinal ministers can't settle it, because they themselves are also arguing internally, and Wu Meiniang can't handle it, so she ran to find Li Zhi, I can't control this matter, or you come, I'm just a temporary worker, such a big matter, you can't 'hand' it over to me as a temporary worker to decide.

Li Zhi was very satisfied with Wu Meiniang's attitude on this matter, so he convened a court meeting to discuss this matter openly.

After a series of 'fierce' debates, in the end, Confucianism and Legalism took a step back and decided not to adopt the Legalist idea of heavy punishment and light crime, but it was not a continuation of the previous legal thought, which used to be based on morality and ethics, supplemented by punishment, and now it is based on law, and then the punishment is reduced. Because morality is still unclear, it is very necessary to have strict laws.

Of course, the whole premise is to maintain the imperial power, which is a very clear sign of the law of the Tang Dynasty, that is, it is necessary to ensure that the imperial power is supreme, in fact, no one argues about this.

Once this was established, the idea began to be applied and the law was revised.

First of all, the hierarchy of the Tang Dynasty was relaxed a lot, because the hierarchy was too strict, not conducive to freedom, and also contrary to the idea of rule by inaction, the key is that the society also needs to change, the status of craftsmen is obviously rising, but the law is still pressing people, then there will definitely be contradictions, and the policy must be slowly liberalized.

The privileges of the landlord class were greatly weakened. One of the most distinctive features is to weaken the good and cheap system, but this weakening is very ingenious, in the past, the good and cheap was clearly stipulated in the law of the Tang Dynasty, but because now the household registration is also written as a citizen, after the modification, the good and cheap system only looks at the contract, although the contract has a legal effect, but it is no longer explicitly stipulated by the imperial court, which is equivalent to the imperial court erased most of the good and cheap system, and introduced the contract bill to interpret the good and low.

And in the contract bill, the life of the slave and the maid is guaranteed, and the master kills the slave and the maid, so whether you are deliberate or missed, you have to face a very heavy punishment, and if you kill the slave and maid by mistake, you don't need to go to jail, but you have to pay a huge fine to ensure that you can sell four or five more slaves and maids. If you kill with intent you will not only have to pay a higher fine, but you will also face jail time.

Although the good and cheap system has not been completely abolished, Han Yi has done everything step by step, first the slave and maid bill, then the change of household registration, and finally the weakening of the good and cheap system, this matter cannot be done in one step, because having a slave and a maid is either rich or expensive.

Of course, it is limited to slaves and maids who have household registration in their own country, and those who do not have household registration do not care, and when Han Yi method household registration, it has been explained who can receive household registration, and foreign slaves and maids are not eligible to obtain household registration.

It's not that Han Yi is more evil, it's just that he can't help it, this is a transitional period, it can't be done in one step, one step in place, that would hurt the ruling class too much, there are no slaves and maids at all, and people don't agree, and this can get military support, domestic slaves and maids, generals can't win landlords, merchants, foreign slaves and maids, they can make a fortune through this, the last time they played 'Lang' state, the general didn't take the court's reward, and directly sold slaves and maids to make a fortune.

Secondly, it is to abolish the law that restricts the movement of the people, in the past, in order to develop agriculture, the imperial court was clearly stipulated, restricting the movement of the people, you must farm, you can't 'mess around', but after the development of commerce, no one cares, this law has become useless in the canal generation, and now it is completely open and does not restrict the flow of the people. The reason is very simple, after the emergence of the land enclosure movement, the new agricultural model appeared, the landlord wanted the peasants to leave, if you want to leave, just sell the land to me, anyway, pay the printing 'flower' tax, and the court will recognize the land as mine.

And abolish the curfew in Chang'an, Luoyang, and Yangzhou, and other states and counties will also be abolished one after another, but not together, because the royal police are not in place, and there is no need, for the time being, it is only open in some commercial cities, and the household department has calculated an account, if the curfew is opened, the increase in the printing 'flower' tax is enough to hire a group of people to maintain law and order, which is profitable. However, there is also a clear provision in the law that it will still be closed during special periods.

This is the rule of inaction, allowing the people to develop freely.

Finally, there is also a change that marks 'sexuality', that is, the formal abolition of the law of joint sitting, stipulating that if a person commits a crime, he will no longer be implicated in his family, slaves and maids, and unless there is evidence to prove that they are all involved, then they must be tried according to law. In other words, if it is only caused by the struggle between the court, then it will no longer affect the family.

In fact, after several major purges in the DPRK, this issue has been debated in the DPRK and China, because the nobles and officials were also afraid of being killed, and they were very frightened of this.

But there are still some people who oppose it, thinking that this will make officials more unscrupulous, and Zhang Wenguan is very opposed.

But in the end, Li Zhi made a very resolute decision to officially abolish the law of joint sitting, because he also knew that the previous purge had left a very bad impression on the ministers, because the purge was a little too strong, and almost all the ministers of the old class during the Zhenguan period were killed, including two groups of relatives, and now that he was in power, he had to appease these ministers and make them truly loyal to him, rather than completely forced by him. Lewdness, and he also explained several times that this is also advocated by the prince three or four times, and its purpose is to erect the image of the prince's benevolence.

In addition, it is to exempt a large number of laborers, sweeping floors, public health, these jobs used to be done by labor, but now all of them are hired by the government.

The bill was passed, but it was not immediately implemented nationwide, and it was gradually promoted, because the development of the whole country is different, and many places have no gold bank, no civil security bureau, and cannot be implemented, but there are also clear regulations on what state and when to implement this bill.

After the promulgation of this law, the merchants really rejoiced, because every article was very beneficial to them, especially the abolition of restrictions on the people, which was really very beneficial to the merchants, and the landlords would definitely oppose it in the past, but the landlords did not oppose it, because the tenant farmer system could no longer play, and they all adopted the model of hired peasants.

The gentry were a little reluctant, but there was no way, this was the general trend.

This promulgation is promulgated, but it will be enforced after the New Year's Festival next year, and the curfew will be officially opened from the 25th of the last month.
