After sending Gao Panlong away, Zhu Youxiao said: "In addition, I think that the new policy is a move for the benefit of the country and the people, and it must be continued and cannot be delayed. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the implementation of the new policy must not be rushed, otherwise it will only backfire. Article 1 of the New Deal has not yet been straightened out, and no new New Deal can be implemented. Han Yi insisted.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that judging from the results of the first article of the new deal, the new deal is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty and can be implemented." Wei Guangwei retorted.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the new policy can be implemented one by one as appropriate, and the hidden dangers of the implementation of the first new policy have not been completely eliminated, and it must not be implemented immediately." Yang Lian suggested.

"Which do you think is better to do first?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"The minister may implement Article 3, promulgate the Patent Law, establish the Academy of Sciences and the Patent Office, and the imperial court shall be responsible for the regular printing of patent publications." Han Yi said first.

Zhu Youxiao's Patent Law draws on the Monopolies Act promulgated in England in 1624 and incorporates a part of the trademark law. Patent law is a new thing for the entire Ming Empire, but the people of the empire are not too unfamiliar with this, and they have some contact. All this stems from Zhu Youxiao's protection of the Fengqiuhuang trademark and the protection of cement concession production.

Zhu Youxiao even ordered Jinyiwei to deal with several infringement cases in the protection of the two, and the final result was confiscation of the proceeds and a fine of ten times, and if the fine could not be paid, most of them were sent to repair the road.

In Soto's book The Secret of Capital, there is a passage that says, "If capitalism has a soul, then that soul is the legitimate system of ownership." The reason why Zhu Youxiao must incorporate the "Patent Law" into the new policy is that he wants to ensure that even after a hundred years, the empire can still maintain a leading position in scientific and technological development.

Zhu Youxiao believes that the sustained prosperity of a country is not achieved by relying on a single person, but by improving systems and regulations.

The Academy of Sciences and the Patent Office were established to facilitate the application and examination of patents. The Academy of Sciences is mainly responsible for assisting the patent office in patent examination, the patent office is responsible for all matters related to patents, and the patent office is divided into two divisions, one is the patent application department, the other is the patent publication department, and the patent journal is the professional journal issued by the patent publication department.

Zhu Youxiao referred to the application procedures of Westerners, and based on historical experience, greatly simplified the patent application procedures of this era, and when applying for a patent, the patent applicant only needed to submit two documents, one to His Majesty the Emperor, and the other to submit the specification of the patent.

In order to prevent black-box manipulation, the completed patent application is submitted to the public counter of the Patent Office, and the date and number are recorded, and a record certificate is issued by the Patent Office. And from the day the patent application is filed, the protection of the patent begins.

In terms of fees, the cost of trademark application is higher, reaching ten taels, and it is necessary to pay annually, but the cost of patent application is very low, starting from one tael.

Zhu Youxiao's "Patent Law" can be said to be very simple compared to later generations, and there is no standard for classification and registration even when registering trademarks, but it is the most advanced in this era.

Hearing Han Yi's proposal, Zhu Youxiao asked, "What is your opinion?" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal." Yang Lian said first.

"The minister seconded the proposal." Seeing that Zhu Youxiao no longer objected, the ministers also agreed.

……

"Since all Aiqing have no opinions, the "Patent Law" will be promulgated nationwide from now on, and Song Yingxing will temporarily serve as the director of the Patent Office, Xu Guangqi will concurrently serve as the president of the Academy of Sciences, and Wang Zheng will be the vice president." Zhu Youxiao made an order.

"No."

……

Among the ten articles of the New Deal, Zhu Youxiao attaches the most importance to this one. Nine of the ten articles of the New Deal are aimed at getting out of the current predicament, but this one is not only related to the present, but also has a greater effect on the future.

In the first year of the promulgation of the Patent Law, the number of patent applications reached 27, including patents for seeders, threshers, blast furnaces, and so on, invented by Westerners. There is a provision in the Patent Law that makes it clear that a product is novel as long as it is not used by anyone else within the Empire.

Daming's "Patent Law" is more perfect than other countries in this era, so that the patents invented by Westerners even took the initiative to apply in China, attracting talents from all over the world for Daming, after all, there is no technical protection, technical barriers and so on in this era. This also made the Ming Dynasty lead the world again in science and technology.

……

The death of Duan Chunfei made Zhu Youxiao speed up the construction of Western Medical College. In mid-March, the Imperial School of Western Medicine was officially completed. Chen Shigong was officially appointed as the president of the Imperial School of Western Medicine, and Deng Yuhan was appointed as the deputy director of the School of Western Medicine.

Chen Shigong, a surgeon in the Ming Dynasty of China, is the author of the book "Orthodox Surgery", in which he studied tumors for the first time, and even recorded the description and prognosis of breast cancer, and is a scholar who has made a masterpiece of surgery in Chinese history. If Concubine Duan Chun had a difficult birth, it was Chen Shigong and Deng Yuhan who were the main surgeons, and the chances of survival could be increased by at least one percent. It's just that there is a difference between men and women in this era, if they are really allowed to take the lead, Concubine Duan Chun may commit suicide on the spot.

When the Western Medical College was established, Zhu Youxiao crammed 1,000 students at a time, including 200 female students. Although Zhu Youxiao's actions were a bit quick and quick-term, this was also a helpless move.

"Deng Yuhan, the corpse you need, I will send someone to send it tomorrow." Zhu Youxiao said softly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Deng Yuhan said respectfully.

"Your Majesty...... This...... This is a big no-no. Chen Shigong said in surprise.

"The people who sent them were the most heinous sins, and this is the forgiveness of their previous sins." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty, it can't be a living person, right?" Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Chen Shigong was even more surprised.

Zhu Youxiao didn't answer, just nodded.

"Your Majesty, please resign from the post of head of the Western Medical College." Chen Shigong knelt on the ground and said.

"The people I sent are all harvesters and carniers, they artificially make children disabled or 'monsters', their sins are so great that they can't be forgiven by death, I just give them a chance to forgive their sins, Chen Lao sympathizes with them, but I have thought that they have been made disabled or 'monsters', such people should have been punished by a thousand knives, and it is already cheap for them to be sent here." Zhu Youxiao said.
