Chapter 737: The Gift (II)

This era. The legislative process is far from perfect, and in many matters that do not involve the fundamentals of society, it is often the same as an emperor, with the strong subjective color of the ruler. This can be seen from the rise and fall of the Mongolian horse market and the city...... This governor said that it was going to be opened, and the emperor opened it, and the inspector said that it was going to be closed, and the emperor closed it, and then a certain Shangshu said, let's open it, and the emperor opened it again.

In short, it is to see who has a big face and whose voice is thick enough to overpower whom, and listen to whomever it is.

Although the silent voice is not loud, it does not prevent the use of this randomness, playing a trick of fishing in troubled waters, so that his idea of introducing Western talents can be realized, although this kind of open policy is not reliable, but it is good that his life is still long, and he will do it first.

Of course, when it comes to him, you can't be casual. Shen Default really took charge of the city at this time, and drafted the "Regulations on the Temporary Stay and Temporary Residence of Foreigners" and the "Regulations on the Retention of Talents", two sets of laws and regulations that are as strict as possible to manage foreigners entering Daming.

So how to become a Ming Guo person that everyone envies? The steps to go through are as follows:

First of all, when the ship docks, foreigners who enter the country for the first time need to fill in the entry application to the Municipal Shipping Department, truthfully provide their personal information, reason for entry, entry time, as well as the names, household registrations, and effective contact information of the two guarantors, and ensure that they will abide by the laws of Daming and accept the management of the government...... After the approval of the municipal shipping department, they can enter the country with a 'temporary escort', and they must not stay longer than the permitted period, and they are not allowed to leave the city where they are allowed to stay, and they are not allowed to engage in paid labor without a 'labor certificate'.

As for the status of the two sponsors, they should be foreigners with local household registration or permanent residency...... The so-called local household registration refers to the household registration of the city where the city is located, such as the Suzhou City Ship Division, in principle, only accepts the guarantee of Suzhou residents, but considering the actual situation, those who have a Shanghai county household registration can also be guaranteed.

The so-called 'labor certification' is not issued by the municipal shipping department. If the holder of the 'temporary guard' wants to work in the permitted city, he needs to go to the local county office to register, and then choose his own classification, if it is a skilled worker, and the 'occupation directory' happens to have what he has mastered, he can directly apply for the 'skill test' at the county office, and a centralized examination will be held in the early middle and late of each month, but each 'temporary guard' has only three chances. After passing, it will prove that he has the ability to work in the Ming Dynasty, and will not take away the job opportunities of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and can obtain a 'labor permit', also known as a labor certificate. If you fail to pass the three times, you will lose your job opportunity this time, but the next time you enter the country, you can get three more opportunities after obtaining a new 'temporary escort', but the interval shall not be less than half a year.

The Occupation Catalogue is jointly compiled by the government and local guilds, listing the types of talents required and updated quarterly.

If the skills you have mastered are not in the catalog, you can apply to the government for a special skills test, which is held by the government-level yamen, usually once a month, by the government, together with the Suzhou Translation and Interpretation Bureau and the research institute. If you still don't pass the test, you can take the test again next time, or file a protest. Fill in the skill report and submit it to the presidents of the two courts in Suzhou for judgment, and if it is unanimously agreed, you can also obtain a labor certificate.

After obtaining the labor certificate, you have half a year to look for a job, and after the official employment, the employer will issue a certificate and apply to the provincial government for the renewal of the "permanent protection" with a "temporary shield" and a "labor certificate...... With this degree, you can live, live, and work in Daming forever, and you can leave the city and travel freely in the counties of the prefecture, but you still cannot go to other prefectures.

In addition, more than a dozen special categories, such as scholars, interpreters, military industry, shipbuilding, and chemistry, are listed in the catalog, but they still have to take special examinations at the prefectural level. However, after passing, you will be assigned to work immediately, so you do not need a labor certification, and you can directly receive a 'permanent protection'.

You can live like a normal person in the local area, and you can bring your wife and children to live with you, and they will immediately get the 'Dependent Protector' and enjoy the same rights as you in action, but if you want to work outside, you must obtain a labor certification, and if you can't get it, you can only wait for you to upgrade.

After five years of settling into your job and bringing out more than ten apprentices. You can apply for naturalization with the provincial political envoy with the employer's certificate and county records, and pass the language test, you can swear loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and the emperor, and become the people of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no difference between the native Ming people.

After you become a Ming person, your parents, wife, and children can apply for naturalization, but your parents and wife can be naturalized directly, but your children must not be naturalized until after the language test.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shen Mo did not feel that he was deliberately making things difficult for foreigners, he thought that this was reasonable, the cities that accept foreigners are the future trade cities, in addition to Suzhou, there are Ningbo, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, three cities that are about to set up a city, it can be said that they are all good places to be prosperous in Damingding, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is also the most prosperous and rich place in the world...... According to several foreigners from the Translation Bureau, Madrid, the richest and most prosperous city in Europe, is only the level of Guangzhou City, and it cannot be compared with Suzhou.

Don't pay at all. If you want to enjoy it, it's impossible, you have to have skills and be willing to endure hardships to stay; If you bring out a group of apprentices and obtain the identity of Ming people, you don't have to worry about the policy changing, and this Ming dream can really be realized.

The reason why the number of disciples brought out is taken as the criterion for admission is because in one's own temple, you can't just point to foreign monks and chant scriptures, right? Cultivating one's own little novice is the right thing to do. But the current situation of Daming. It's really embarrassing, just like the old Ouyang said, there is no culture in technology, there is no technology in culture, especially in natural science, the lack is very serious, not to mention that a big inventor like Ouyang Bijin, even a technician with a little research spirit, is also rare, can not emerge in large numbers.

There is a saying that 'a single flower is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in spring', only blooming everywhere, so that invention and creation become a trend, in order to drive the start of science and technology, this only by passive teaching and learning, is impossible to achieve, the key is to mobilize people's subjective initiative.

To this end, Shen Mo wrote the "Invention Patent Contract", which was ready to be piloted in Suzhou first, and then promoted in the future. The Compact stipulates that, first, the invention must be made for a new product; second, the patent right should be granted to the first real inventor; Third, the patentee has the exclusive right to produce or manufacture the product, which is valid for 14 years, and can apply for an extension of six years; Fourth, others may not exploit the invention during this period.

This 'contract' is fundamentally different from the real Patent Law in later generations, the latter is a formal law, and the latter should be regarded as a kind of contract, Party A is the government, Party B is the inventor, Party A guarantees Party B's exclusive ownership of the invention, and Party B pays Party A a certain percentage of the protection fee.

Obviously, this kind of practice will bring some negative things, but Shen Mo knows very well that in this era, the rule of man is greater than the rule of law. Profit is the highest orientation...... As the saying goes, if you don't see the immediate benefits, even the officials of Suzhou City will not sincerely defend the rights of the patentee, let alone other places.

Moreover, he clearly pointed out in the bill that the importer can enjoy the patent right for the complete technology imported from abroad, and if the inventor claims the invention right, it will be determined that the importer and the inventor share the patent after verification and confirmation.

This is a big killer, as long as it is promulgated, don't worry about those Tessians not taking out the things at the bottom of the box, and in a few years, after it spreads in Europe, I am afraid that all the useful technologies will be able to be sucked up.

Attracting foreign craftsmen to introduce technology and encouraging domestic craftsmen and businessmen to invent and create are the two major goals of the 'patent contract', but the deeper pursuit is to link 'invention and creation' with 'wealth creation', so that people can change their negative attitude towards 'miracle skills and ingenuity'; Only in this way can the light of science and technology shine in China and truly embark on the road of revitalization.

This is not something that can be seen overnight, Shen Mo is ready for a protracted war, even if he is out of the way, he must ensure that these laws and regulations remain unchanged for fifty years! Although it is impossible to really succeed in fifty years, he firmly believes that the right thing has tenacious vitality, not a flower in a greenhouse; If it is not able to withstand the wind and rain for such a long time, it can only mean that it is not suitable for the Ming Dynasty, and there is nothing to regret if it fails.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In fact, Shen Mo still has many ideas, such as inviting people from the Taizhou School to come over and jointly run the School of Engineering; Another example is to build a comprehensive university, etc., etc., but the time is in a hurry, and the time is not ripe, so you can only keep it in your heart first, and wait for the opportunity to talk about it later.

Those lofty things can be talked about later, but the immediate problem must be solved, and that night, he asked Gui Youguang to gather the troublemakers he had arrested in the auditorium. Start by assuring them that this technology will not be abused...... This is nonsense, the number one patent of Suzhou Prefecture, of course, it is impossible for people to use it casually...... The government will strictly grasp that it will approve the launch of the horse only on the premise of not crowding out the people's cotton spinning and not affecting the market price.

After easing the antagonism of the workers, he explained to them that the vision of technology would lead to a surge in jobs, a doubling of industry salaries, and the development of related industries. And use passionate language to make the workers believe that as long as they graduate from this engineering college and get a professional license, they will become the fragrant bait that the factories compete for, and the income will increase significantly.

These words caused laughter from everyone in the audience, and the worry about the new machine disappeared unconsciously.

When he left the College of Engineering, the sky was already full of stars, and he silently said to Ouyang Bijin, who was sent out: "Old gentleman, stay here, I will pick you up early the day after tomorrow, let's go to the upper mountain together and see your babies." ”

Because the problem was solved, Ouyang Bijin's laughter was also very hearty, and said: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, I made more than a dozen prototypes, but they couldn't reach the appearance you described, I feel that with the current technology, I'm afraid I can't do it." ”

"Take your time." Shen Mo smiled: "I can have a water-powered spinning machine, I am already content." He said in a low voice: "Pay attention to your body, don't forget to sleep and eat in the future, leave all the work to the people below, you just follow the direction." ”

"Alas, it's not safe to hand it over to anyone." Ouyang will enter the road.

"No one is born with it," Shen Mo smiled, "they will never learn if they don't let go." ”

"I understand when you say that." Old Ouyang said with a smile: "Think about when I was twenty-seven years old, I was still ignorant and didn't know anything, and then look at you now, no one can really compare." ”

"Ahem...... "Ahem," Shen Mo coughed lightly, "Actually, I'm more than twenty-seven years old. "The ages of the two lives combined, of course, are more than that.

"How big is that?" Ouyang Bijin asked curiously.

"Twenty-eight ......" replied in a silent voice like a mosquito's chirp, and after speaking, he fled in the laughter of old Ouyang who shook the night sky.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That night, Shen Mo did not return to the mansion to stay, but lived in an inconspicuous courtyard.

Before dawn the next day, several carriages drove into the courtyard, and after the door was tightly closed, those who got off the carriage were the main shareholders of the Huilian and several major treasurers, these people were all hot God of Wealth, and how many people begged for supplies on weekdays, and their nostrils were raised to the sky.

But at this moment, the bigwigs who responded to the call were like elementary school students, sitting in the living room stiffly, and they didn't dare to say a word.

This living room is not too big, although it is arranged as plainly as possible according to Shen Mo's preferences, but from the ambergris rising from the incense burner, Wang Youjun hanging on the wall, and all the details, you can see the kind of wealth that is not revealed.

Although the garden was staffed with the most well-trained men, it was the silent guards who served in the house, and it was also evident from this the importance and confidentiality of this meeting.

silently wore a blue and gray satin collared deep coat, tied a scarf on his head, and stepped on white cloth socks and black satin shoes, which made him look more and more chic and radiant, and he couldn't see the fatigue of working hard for days; Although he didn't wear an official uniform, he gestured calmly and calmly, and at first glance, he was in a high position and respected.

He motioned for Sanchi to distribute what he had written, and then took the tea cup and waited for the banking elites to read it while sipping the tea.

After everyone below had a copy, they began to read it intently, and after a while, they could no longer be quiet...... One by one, their expressions were rich, their brows were raised, and some people even began to whisper and discuss.

Silent turned a blind eye to all this, and his gaze looked out of the open window into the blue sky, his gaze dark and elusive.

It wasn't until the room was quiet again that he came back to his senses, looked at the two rows of people sitting below, and asked softly, "Have you seen it all?" ”

"Yes......" everyone nodded quickly.

"Let's discuss," Shen Mo put down the teacup and said, "Which one will speak first." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and finally their eyes sat on an old man, he was the second shareholder of Huilian, Peng Xi, the head of the Peng family, and also an old acquaintance of Shen Mo, he cleared his throat and arched his hand towards Shen Mo and said: "My lord's proposal, we don't have anything to disagree to, not to mention that this is a great thing." ”

"Hehe, old man, don't patronize my face," Shen Mo smiled faintly and said, "Let's talk about things, analyze the pros and cons, and see if it's feasible." ”

"Don't tell the truth, in fact, I have also thought about whether I can issue small silver tickets." Peng Xi smiled: "It's been discussed on a small scale." ”

Seeing a few people nodding in agreement, he couldn't help but smile silently: "It seems that the hero sees the same thing." There was a burst of laughter.

After laughing, he asked Peng Xi silently: "Why does the old gentleman have this idea?" ”

"This is still taught by adults." Peng Xi said respectfully: "In the book "Ticket Number to Bank" you wrote for us, it was mentioned that if we want to build a century-old store that will not fall, we can't help but work hard to go up, and we have to take root ...... down" said and recited a paragraph: "You said that only by integrating with the lives of the people and being inseparable from them can we make our Huilian number beyond the scope of business, and also have the role of stabilizing society." ”

He was talking about a pamphlet compiled by Shen Mo during his stay in Suzhou, which roughly talked about some of the most basic knowledge of money and banking, as well as future development trends, and these shareholders were obviously fascinated by the beautiful vision depicted in the book.

"But I found that don't look at our ticket number shocking the whole country, and the business is also big," Peng Xi shook his head and said: "The foundation is far from being a solid ......."

"The old gentleman has taken care of himself." He smiled approvingly: "Do you see any hidden dangers?" ”。

"We can't go up to the sky or down to the ground," Peng Xi said worriedly: "Don't look at our momentum in Suzhou, and even in the southeast, but north of the Huai River, we are really not as good as Rishenglong, and the relationship between the bigwigs in the capital is not as close as Rishenglong," he said, breaking the news: "I heard that Xu Ge Lao also has dry shares in Rishenglong." ”

"Really?" Shen Mo said movingly: "Who said it?" "On the list of dry stocks of the Huilian, Xu Jie is the first, is the old boy stepping on two boats?

"This is true," Peng Xi said, "Some of us have already done the general ledger over there, and we have found it out of the accounts." He said in a deep voice: "If this is a war with Rishenglong in the future, it is really unknown who Xu Ge will help!" ”
