Obviously, scientific and technological progress cannot be completed overnight, so Zhu You said to Wang Zheng, director of the Patent Office: "Carefully collect and sort out patents, do a good job of classification, and let people come here to search." However, at this stage, the most likely people to search for patents can only be the various departments of the imperial court. You yourself are a knowledgeable person, which patent may be used by which department, you know in your heart. It is in the interest of both parties to actively matchmaking. ”

Wang Zheng was a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, and was awarded the official of Guangping Mansion. In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, his stepmother died, and according to the law, Ding Wei should have been worried for three years, but the emperor changed Ding Wei's rules. His father saw that his son was fifty-two years old before he became a jinshi, and if Ding Wei would be fifty-seven years old in three years, he asked him to only observe filial piety for one month.

He had an excellent relationship with Sun Yuanhua, was interested in Western science, and had long been religious. Zhu Youxiao asked the emperor to transfer him to the Ordnance Bureau, and Zhu Youxiao agreed, just about to set up a patent office, so he was transferred to be the director of the patent office.

Wang Zheng agreed: "Your Majesty, the search is already underway. Chen felt that some patents could be used in the Ordnance Bureau, and he would let the patent holder negotiate with Sun Bin, and now there are two patents that have been successfully negotiated with the Ordnance Bureau. ”

Zhu Youxiao was a little curious and asked: "What are these two patents for, are they related to steam engines?" ”

Wang Zheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's not a steam engine, it's a fire gun." I heard that it is a fire gun that can be fired in bursts. ”

Zhu Youxiao remembered the Thunderbolt he had seen before, that kind of firebolt could indeed be fired in bursts, but the effect was not very good. Therefore, after the flintlock fire gun was created, the Ordnance Bureau stopped the research on the lightning gun.

Zhu Youxiao believes that before the creation of thunder mercury, the repeating gun could not really be stronger than a single-shot flintlock pistol, so he only wants to make thunder mercury now, but unfortunately, he knows the chemical formula of thunder mercury, but he does not know how to make it at all.

He hadn't been to the Ordnance Bureau for a few days, and the Ordnance Bureau had actually begun to study the Burst Firebolt, which showed that Sun Yuanhua was still very responsible.

The next day, he came to the Ordnance Bureau, only to learn that the patent required by the Ordnance Bureau was a steering device for firearms, and the prototype was still a thunderbolt, but after a shot was fired, the next gun tube could be pushed directly to the position to be launched by using the energy of gunpowder burning, and there was only one gun tube in front. He looked at it for a moment and exclaimed, "Isn't this a revolver!" ”

Sun Yuanhua kept looking at the emperor's face, and as soon as he heard him shout, he immediately asked, "Your Majesty, what is a revolver?" Will Your Majesty make it? ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "No, I suddenly remembered a weapon, which is a bit similar to this." It's useless to know how to build, you still have to pay the patent fee to others. ”

Sun Yuanhua smiled proudly: "Your Majesty, we have even recruited people into the Weapons Bureau, but we still paid him the patent fee." ”

But then he said with a pained face: "If Your Majesty can make it, we don't have to pay royalties." ”

Zhu Youxiao pretended to be angry and said: "Okay, it turns out that you want to use me as free labor, no, I also want patent fees." ”

Sun Yuanhua said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the whole world is yours, so your patent fee is also collected by yourself." ”

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he suddenly remembered a book he had read before, which said why there are many leading parties in China, and once there is a change of dynasty, there will always be a large number of traitors or leading parties. In fact, there is only one reason, because that country is not its own, after all, it is only the emperor's, and the family has one surname.

The situation in Europe is very different from that of China, in various wars, a large number of nobles died, and the proportion of deaths far exceeded the proportion of deaths of commoners, because they were guarding their own land, their own country, and the nobles believed that the greater the rights, the greater the responsibilities and obligations.

Therefore, the law on the protection of private property should be promulgated and implemented as soon as possible. Originally, Zhu Youxiao wanted to wait until the rent reduction and land reform were completed before doing this, but now he has changed his mind, and now he has to fix this idea in the form of a law.

However, in order to establish this law on the protection of private property, the premise must be a law on the protection of personal freedom, and the premise of all this must be the perfection of the legal trial system. In the current Ming Kingdom, local cases are adjudicated by county orders, and the county officials play an assisting role, and the state has general judgments. In the center, it is composed of Dali Temple, the Inspectorate and the Criminal Department.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao said to Sun Yuanhua: "Last time, I said that I would protect private property, what did Sun Qing think? ”

Sun Yuanhua said cautiously: "Your Majesty said last time, the minister also said such things when he went to the British public house to buy printing technology, of course this is very good." If a person's property is embezzled, the court can help him get it back. So that everyone can rest assured. ”

Zhu Youxiao asked again: "Then what if I want to embezzle his property?" ”

Sun Yuanhua's face changed drastically and said: "Your Majesty, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." There is also a saying that the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. Therefore, whose property His Majesty wants, he should obediently offer it, how can such a word be used for embezzlement? ”

Zhu Youxiao understood what he meant, and the emperor was an exception. It's just that at least at this stage, you can still guarantee that you will not covet other people's property, but what about your own children and grandchildren? Can they do it like themselves?

Legislation must be enacted, but first we must do a good job in building the team, otherwise there is only one law there, who will protect the implementation of the law?

However, team building is not to recruit migrant workers and build railways. You have to have legal knowledge, and that's a very troublesome question.

In the school for officials, there is indeed the study of law such as the "Da Ming Law", but it is far from enough to establish a sound trial system. It is necessary to have a special student to study law in order to serve as a judge who specializes in hearing cases.

Moreover, there are some places in the laws of the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Youxiao does not approve of, but if it is to be amended, it is also a matter that must be moved. And it is impossible for Zhu Youxiao to handle this matter personally, even if he wants to, he doesn't have the ability, he was just a high school student in his previous life.

Thinking of this, he didn't have the heart to stay in the Weapons Bureau anymore, and said to Sun Yuanhua: "I have some things, I'm afraid I won't come to the Weapons Bureau these days." ”

Sun Yuanhua hurriedly sent the emperor out of the Weapons Bureau. Zhu You proofread Wei Zhongxian and said, "Where is Mr. today?" ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "There is no major event in the Ministry today, and Elder Xu Ge should be in the Hall of Jingshi University." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Send someone to the Jingshi University Hall to invite Mr. to my villa, and if other cabinet members are there, they will also be called." ”
