The cement division was also officially established after being displayed for the ministers in the hall that day, and the office was set up in the southeast of the miscellaneous manufacturing bureau to facilitate the production and management of cement. www.biquge.info As a reward, Yang Shan was appointed by Chongzhen as the first director of the Cement Division. The process of this appointment was quite smooth, and there was basically no opposition. The official position of the sixth grade is not too important for the civil and military affairs above this hall. What's more, no one will pour cold water on Chongzhen and the ministers when they are rejoicing, it is definitely the rhythm of scolding.

………………………………………

In the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair, and Yang Shan stood on the main hall.

"Lord Yang, how is the operation of the Cement Division in the past few days?" Chongzhen was very concerned about the actual operation of the cement division, and after returning to the Qianqing Palace from the city tower, he directly announced Yang Shan.

"Back to the emperor, everything is running normally in the cement division." Yang Shan is quite satisfied with his current official position, and he was directly promoted from the ninth rank to the sixth grade, which he would never have dreamed of.

"Is there enough manpower, do you need to add more?" Chongzhen heard that the cement division was operating normally, and his heart was a little relieved.

"Your Majesty, the minister is about to enter the palace to face the saint these days. At present, the cement division can indeed work normally, but the vast majority of people are consumed on those businessmen. In terms of manpower, it is indeed a bit overwhelmed. Yang Shan heard the emperor's inquiry, and hurriedly complained, those businessmen did make him feel big these days. In the Ming Dynasty, although the status of businessmen is not high, but there is no inextricable connection between a big rich businessman and officialdom, how can he offend the director of the cement department who does not have much real power.

"I didn't expect these people's sense of smell to be quite sensitive, and I have my own arrangements." Chongzhen looked at Yang Shan, who was frowning, and continued: "They just want to get the method of making cement, so give it to them." ”

"Give them, Your Majesty, aren't they asking their ministers to keep secrets?" Yang Shan was very puzzled by Chongzhen's words.

"Of course, that was my previous arrangement, and I have thought about it in the past few days, cement has a great effect, and it is a waste to be just in my hands, and it is a good thing to use the Ming Dynasty to provide the recipe and refining method to the people." Chongzhen said his thoughts, paused for a moment and continued: "However, I can't give them to them in vain. We have established a patent department to deal with the invention and application of science and technology. Prior to its establishment, we were now piloting the Cement Division, and if it could be successfully implemented, we would set up an independent department. ”

"Patent Division? So what should the minister do? Yang Shan was full of confusion, and the more he said Chongzhen's words, the more confused Yang Shan became.

"There are two things you have to do, one is to provide qualification verification, sign the contract, that is, the transfer is not possible, and in the future, the cement plant of the merchant will have to pay a fixed fee for every certain amount of cement produced, which I call the patent fee; Second, for some private production, without patent authorization, it is necessary to resolutely investigate and deal with it, ban it, and those who do not listen to dissuasion and obstruct the performance of official duties can submit an application to the three law divisions for compulsory enforcement. I will let the three legal divisions give full cooperation, and I will not tolerate the arrest of the arrest and the sentence of the sentence! Chongzhen said all his intentions, and the Patent Department has a great deal to do, and it is necessary to strictly enforce the law and regulate all business practices.

"Your Majesty, I am afraid that the courtiers will be opposed by the courtiers if they do this. This court, which is inextricably linked with those wealthy businessmen, will be attacked by them for collecting royalties, so it will be difficult for the patent department to carry it out. Yang Shan quickly comprehended Chongzhen's intentions, and after thinking about it for a while, he directly saw the key points.

"Well, you're right, I didn't expect this. In that case, I will give the Cement Division some more powers, of course, these powers are temporary, and all of them will be taken over to the Patent Division in the future. We have given the Cement Division the power to investigate, collect evidence, and arrest, but not to sentence. In this way, you will have a lot easier and less resistance when you do things. Yang Shan's words made Chongzhen immediately think of the key point, these people rely on the secret support of the dignitaries and dignitaries in the DPRK, and they will inevitably resist law enforcement for the sake of interests, so the law enforcement behavior of the cement division will have no deterrent effect, and will not be able to deter lawbreakers.

Chongzhen paused for a moment and continued: "Don't those merchants want a method of refining cement, you can inform them when you go back, and let each family send a representative, gather together, and tell them what I mean." The benefits cannot be fully accounted for by them, but the cement division of Daming has no benefit at all, I want the cement division not only to have its own rich financial resources, but also to provide more taxes for Daming. Do it well, I have confidence in you! ”

"Minister, you must never live up to the emperor's trust!" Yang Shan's swarthy face was a little red from excitement at the moment.

As one of the inventors, Yang Shan has a deep feeling about the function of cement. In the past, only as soon as a new physical invention was created, counterfeit products would immediately appear. The Ministry of Industry actually receives very little benefit, and can only maintain the cost of research, which needs to be largely covered by other taxes. Even, the income of ordinary craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry had to be supplied by the imperial court, so most of the craftsmen's income was very meager, and they could only support their families, and their lives were tight. Yang Shan also tried to change something, but in the end he was disappointed. Because, in the chaotic situation of the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people can live and not be hungry from the cold, which is already a great luck.

Hope, Chongzhen brought hope to Yang Shan. This hope can be very simple, so simple that you can be desperate, you can go to the soup and fire at any cost, you can overcome all the dangers, climb all the mountains that stand in the way, just for the most sincere hope in your heart!
