No matter how great a person is, it is difficult to jump out of the limitations of the times, Wei Ying is like this, the sons of the world are like this, and even Bai Dong himself is like this.

Old Gan Long was already remarkable, at least he was trying to digest the new concepts that Bai Dong had brought. For example, inventions and discoveries are not difficult for future generations to understand, but it is very difficult to understand in the pre-Qin era, when natural science research was almost zero. We all know that sunlight is heaven and earth can help all things grow, but in ancient times, there will always be the first person to discover this truth, and there will be the first person to discover that sunlight can bring warmth to people. ”

"Naturally, no. Sunlight is generated by heaven and earth, and even if someone discovers it first, it cannot be taken for themselves. ”

That's it, so discovery must be excluded from this decree, and only the corresponding invention can be patented and enjoyed. For example, the locks and keys and ladders invented by the public losers, although they are also taken from nature, but if there is no human wisdom, even after a hundred years or a thousand years, no one can suddenly 'discover' them in nature. ”

"If you put in mental strength, should you be rewarded?"

Lao Ganlong shook his head: "Boy, do you know that you are very much like a person?" ”

"Tutor?"

"Definitely. Your bizarre methods, prescient ability, and clever tongue are very similar to the legendary Mr. Guigu, but the thoughts you revealed just now are more like a person, and this person is Yang Zhu! Listen to people. When you said goodbye to Wei Ying, you once borrowed Yang Zhu's words to warn him, boy, you tell Uncle Sù Gamble the truth, do you have an old relationship with Yang Zhu? ”

Yang Zhu is really in this era!

Bai Dong didn't answer Gan Long, but felt extremely excited in his heart, it was Yang Zhu! Throughout the feudal era, Yang Zhu was criticized and insulted, saying that he was 'the first self-interested person in the world', and even historians of all dynasties were reluctant to write about him, and later archaeologists could not even figure out when he was born. Where did he die? Liezi said that he was a Taoist, but later researchers thought that he was a Legalist, and he did not leave any works in his life, but there are two inconsequential allusions: 'Mozi is sad and silky, Yang Zhu is crying and misguided' and 'the dog barks in black clothes'.

Such a figure who is not valued by history. However, it plays an important role in the history of Chinese law and is highly respected by later generations of lawyers. It is because he proposed, 'Lose a little and benefit the world.' I don't want to take a single body in the world. If no one loses anything, and if everyone is not good for the world, the world will be governed', this kind of seemingly selfish remarks to the extreme.

Or maybe it doesn't seem, even Yang Zhu himself put forward the idea of 'rebirth of oneself', thinking that if everyone can cherish themselves more than others, and can do it. Isn't the world going to be ruled over? This kind of deviant remarks should not be said to be placed in the pre-Qin era, even if it is placed in later generations of China, it will also be severely criticized!

However, later jurists saw the forward-looking nature of Yang Zhu's theory, believing that Yang Zhu was the first person in the history of Chinese law and the world to put forward the views of 'private ~ property is sacrosanct' and 'natural person ~ right'. He predates the British, the thinkers of the European Renaissance by two thousand years!

Maybe Yang Zhu is selfish, but he is selfish enough to create his own school; He has walked in thorns and scolding for more than 2,300 years, and has been scolded until today, but Bai Dong, who is a lawyer, is extremely interested in him, how can he not be excited when he hears that Yang Zhu is really in this era? Wei Ying, this guy is really stingy with words, he just scolded Yang Zhu a few words that day, where can Lao Ganlong say it so clearly?

"You really have an old relationship with Yang Zhu? Otherwise, why would you be overjoyed when you hear his name? Boy, do you know what kind of person Yang Zhu is? This man is rebellious and withdrawn, everything he says and does is rebellious, you don't want to have anything to do with him, otherwise even your uncle will not be able to save you. ”

"Uncle Gan thought about it a lot, I don't know Yang Zhu, but I really want to see how strange this person is. You don't have to scare me, Yang Zhu is also alive and well, and he hasn't been killed, right? ”

"Hmph, you won't kill if you kill, but you will be scolded to death! Boy, Uncle Gan thinks that your idea about patents is similar to that of Yang Zhu, you need to know that Zhou Tianzi sits on the four seas, divides the princes, and the monarch is in charge of the land and the people. Even the life of the body belongs to the king, so does this 'invention' created by the body belong to itself? Not to mention that you didn't distinguish between the nobles and the Li people in the decree, isn't it because the Li people have an 'invention', and the nobles and the monarch also have to spend money to buy it? Have you ever thought about how many nobles would be criticized for such a decree? Boy, your foundation is still shallow, don't say it's you, even if the old man wants to propose such a decree, he will be extremely cautious! Hey, I really don't know what the king thinks, he will actually answer you" Gan Long sighed again and again, and it could be seen that he was really worried about Bai Dong.

Bai Dong didn't speak, just looked at Lao Ganlong seriously, and his heart was warm for a while. In later TV dramas, Lao Ganlong was portrayed as a representative of the old forces who hindered the change of the law and a deep conspirator of the city government, which was really too extreme. This is an old man who often thinks about serving the country, and he will also love his children and nephews, and there are also elders who are kind, Wei Ying's change of law cannot be said to be wrong, after all, it is due to Lao Qin, is it wrong to oppose the change? It's just a difference in political opinion

And no matter how Lao Ganlong treats others, he is really kind to himself, and he is really afraid that he will not know the importance and offend the nobles of the whole country. No wonder I have to call myself to my house to talk, it's not appropriate for a different occasion.

got up and bowed deeply to Lao Ganlong, this is not to meet Lao Qin's doctor, but to respect an elder who loves him: "Uncle Gan don't worry about me, what you see is that Li Min has obtained a patent, which seems to be disrespectful to the king, but you have never seen the huge benefits that the invention patent will bring to the government and the king." Uncle please think about it, in the past, when there was no patent law, did some inventions that could bring huge profits be used by the government? No! On the contrary, it was the aristocracy who benefited greatly, and they were often the first to take possession of these inventions; Although these inventions still can't go out of the border in the end, this first benefit has nothing to do with the king, after all, even if it is the king, it is not good to 'plunder' the courtiers too much."

"Well, if your invention patent law is implemented, although these patents belong to individuals, they must be used in practice, and when they are used, whether they are transferred or sold, the government can benefit from them? This is equivalent to dividing the interests of the aristocratic family and enriching the treasury? ”

"Uncle is amazingly intelligent, exactly. There is also an advantage, in the past, some inventions, are the aristocracy has a need, will invest manpower and material resources to research and development, ordinary people or geniuses with inventions, but because there is no benefit at all, they will not invest energy and time, if there is a patent law to promote, but where there are talented people, their hearts yearn for, you can imagine the result, I Lao Qin will not be long after, there will be more inventions that benefit the country and the people. Uncle, don't underestimate the wisdom of Li Min Qiantou, you need to know that Mozi is also from Li Min! ”

"The old man underestimated you, but now it seems that your decree is extraordinary! Shandong countries often laugh at my old Qin's lack of talent, the people's order is dim', Lao Qin's foundation is thin, to produce a Lao Tzu Confucius, it is very difficult, but if you have your decree to urge, to produce some skilled craftsmen similar to the public loser, it may not lose to them! ”

Old Gan Long laughed: "But in this way, you will offend the nobles of the Qin State more and more, if it is not for the talent of the kid who loves you, even the Gan family will regard you as an enemy, how can you solve this problem?" ”

"It doesn't need to be solved. Uncle Gamble regards me as a nephew and the king supports me, what am I afraid of? If you offend them, you will be offended, and I will bear the infamy! Bai Dong smiled: "But the kid believes that this infamy won't last long, and they will thank me in turn." ”

"You kid mean"

Lao Ganlong pondered for a long time, suddenly his eyes lit up, and finally figured out the key, looking back at his son who was still confused, he sighed, if Bai Dong was his own son, he would really wake up laughing in a dream.

"Boy, although you have a careful plan and an old man to back you up, it is not good to be hated too much by the aristocratic family. The old man knows that you have no plan to alleviate it at the beginning of the legislation, so find a way to build more prestige, just like you argue against Wei Ying, and make another contribution to Lao Qin, even if someone hates you at that time, he will not dare to take it lightly. ”

"I want to too, but Uncle Gamble, this kind of credit is not something that can be established if you want to." Bai Dong was a little helpless.

"Hehe, your kid is closed all day long, why didn't Jing Jian tell you? Now is a great opportunity for you to build your prestige. ”

Lao Ganlong smiled slightly: "Yang Zhu, the first selfish person in the world and the man of tongue debate, has entered Qin" (to be continued......)
