When Li Sicong heard Li Bao say this, he had a bad heart, and hurriedly said: "It is more appropriate for the king's matter to be handed over to my Li family bookstore." ●⌒, after all, the king came to us first in the morning and the craftsmen have already taught it. ”

Diao Shi'an saw that this junior of the Li family actually wanted to eat alone when he was by his side, his heart was on fire, and he said to Li Sicong: "Li family man, it's not right for you to do this, today the king asked the two of us to come to discuss cooperation matters, if according to what you mean, my Diao family bookstore is not qualified because it opened late?" ”

Li Bao saw that the two of them choked again, and it seemed that as soon as the crisis passed, this temporary alliance would immediately become invalid. He smiled and said to the two: "Two proprietors, don't worry. I haven't finished talking about today's business, what are you anxious about? ”

Diao Shi'an is older, and his demeanor is much better, so he said to Li Baogong: "The king forgives the sin, a certain loss of honor, please continue to say it." ”

"I came here today mainly to print these pictures in my hand, and I want a large amount. That's why I wanted the two of us to work together to meet Lone's needs. ”

Diao and Li said to Li Bao in unison: "No, obey the order of the king." ”

"Gu went to Li's house first, and on a whim, I chatted with the craftsmen of the Li family about some of my thoughts on printing. This new method does not intend to reveal the secrets of the broom, but to spread it as much as possible, so as to benefit the entire people of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Bao said this, Li Sicong suddenly felt a fever on his face, the prince of Ji was so broad-minded, but he was too petty, so he said to Li Bao: "Listening to the king say this, I suddenly felt that what Fang Cai said was too stingy, and I also invited the king and Diao Dong Lord Haihan." ”

Li Bao looked at Li Sicong, who was a little embarrassed, and said: "Li Dong's words are serious, and there is something to be gained from going to you alone, if it is not for the inspiration of that little sixth son, you will never be able to think of this new method." Lone promised to reward him with ten pieces of money, and someone would send it to him later. ”

Li Sicong hurriedly stood up and said to Li Bao: "The king is serious, how can this matter be taken seriously, besides, Xiao Liuzi doesn't understand anything, how can he let the king be so expensive?"

"This is your mistake, Xiao Liuzi's idea is correct, let's encourage him, and at the same time, this is also to tell everyone that as long as you are careful and love to ponder, there will be a reward. This little sixth son is a role model, so the reward of the little sixth son must be given! ”

Li Sicong immediately gave a thumbs up to Li Bao, "The king is far-reaching, in ancient times, King Yanzhao bought horse bones, and the king's approach today is the same, I really admire it!" ”

Li Sicong's sycophant Li Bao was very comfortable, so Li Bao said to Li Sicong: "Li Dongzhu has won the award, this, hehe." ”

Diao Shi'an saw that this Li family kid would really seize the opportunity to pat himself on the back, and he despised Li Sicong in his heart, but seeing that he was so comfortable with King Ji with a word, he couldn't help but feel jealous in his heart. So Diao Shi'an immediately echoed Li Sicong and praised Li Bao a few more words.

After the three of them finished touting, Li Bao put away his smile and continued: "Today's overprint printing and the movable type printing technology that I talked about with the craftsmen, I will take out the explanatory manuscript when I go back, and I will hand it over to the two proprietors at that time. At the same time, Lone will also draw you some drawings of the whole production. ”

In ancient times, the inheritance of skills was secretly passed on from one family to another, and now Li Bao took it out and handed it over to them without concealment, which is equivalent to teaching them two new heirlooms. Therefore, Diao and Li bowed their hands to Li Bao at the same time and said: "King Houen, a certain toothless and unforgettable." ”

Li Bao looked at the two of them with a smile and said: "The two proprietors thank Gu slowly, Gu still has nothing to say, these two techniques are not taught to you in vain, and Gu has to be charged." ”

Diao and Li glanced at each other again, and Diao Shi'an said in a low voice: "Oh, how much does the king have to charge?" The income from this printing is limited, and it is only enough to make ends meet. If the king wants too much, I'm afraid I won't be able to take it. ”

Li Bao laughed, "Don't cry in front of Lone, Master Diao, what Lone means is that these two technologies are currently free for you to use, but after three years, Lone will charge again, so it's okay." ”

Diao Shi'an's face was happy, but then he asked, "How much does the king plan to collect in three years?" ”

"Well, Diao Dongzhu is really steady, and he is still very old-fashioned when he looks at things. After these three years, Lone will charge 2% of your bookstore's income as a royalty. Of course, this patent fee is not collected for life, it is limited to 20 years, and after 20 years, it will no longer be collected. ”

Diao and Li, after hearing this, both felt that two percent was still acceptable. Both of them are bosses, and of course they know how much profit this bookstore makes. Besides, the so-called 'patent fee' of this Jiwang is only charged for 20 years, and of course they have no problem. So the two agreed in unison.

Li Bao saw that these two people were also quite good, so he continued: "You can rest assured, this annual patent fee of 2% is not earned by a single person. Part of this money is also used to develop new skills, and it can also be used to reward those who develop new skills. ”

"Lone knows a lot about these technical theories that Lone proposed, but Lone is not involved in how to make actual items, which is why I came to you today, and Lone hopes that the two of you will work together is also here.

In addition, the matter of patent fees is now to provide you with books and atlases for construction and production, and when you also develop new theories and techniques, then you can also apply for patent protection at that time, and then you can apply for patents in your own name, then you can also collect patent fees from bookstores that use your patented skills. ”

Listening to Li Bao say this, Diao and Li suddenly became interested, this is a win-win thing, they have developed new technologies, and they can collect patent fees in the future, as long as they have been developing new technologies, then they can collect patent fees forever, although the patent fees are very small, but there are many bookstores with this technology, and at that time they accumulate a lot. It can also be passed on to future generations, and it can also be like the big names in the history books, leaving a name in history. Such a cost-effective thing, a fool would not do it?

Therefore, Diao and Li praised Li Bao's great kindness in unison, which is definitely for the benefit of all generations.

After listening to the praise of the two, Li Bao was very proud, and the multinational companies of later generations relied on patent authorization to make a lot of money. Now that my brother has crossed over, let's start the patent licensing set first, and wait for you to pay us the Celestial Empire in the future, haha.

Li Bao yy for a while before remembering that there was still something to say. So he waved his hand to signal the two to be quiet, and continued: "As I said at the Li family this morning, the drawbacks of movable type printing mainly lie in the character mold.

But after thinking about it, this technology is still more efficient than today's engraving, you can try to do it first, first try to make a font with clay.

In addition, the orphan will arrange for the craftsmen who will be the supervisors to come and experiment with your craftsmen to make other materials to make lettering. So the two of you have to send a few craftsmen to help them.

By the way, that little sixth son must be sent over. He has a flexible brain, and loves to ponder, ten good seedlings. ”

Li Bao said this mainly because he remembered that in history, after China's movable type printing technology was transmitted to the West, Westerners delved into the type molds cast with lead alloys and printing presses. Li Bao did not give them guidance first, but let them do it first, and cultivated their spirit of study and methods.

In addition, he wants to print bonds, lottery tickets, and flying money, which requires these printing agencies to be secretive and not to be contacted by the outside world, so as to effectively prevent the appearance of counterfeit tickets and receipts. In addition, Li Bao also had to sign confidentiality agreements with the two bookstores. If someone dared to violate, Li Bao immediately said that he would never be soft.

In the face of Li Bao's coercion and thirst for profit, Diao and Li both nodded and agreed to Li Bao's request.

The three people present made outstanding contributions to the first leap in the development of the Tang Dynasty's printing industry, and later published the "History of Printing Technology" published by the Holy Empire, specially took out a large chapter, detailing the whimsical ideas put forward by Emperor Shenwu in the early days and the patented technology that benefited the world, and did not hesitate to say words in the book, vigorously praising Emperor Shenwu's broad mind and his foresight.

After Li Bao and Diao Li finished discussing, they finally decided that each of the two Diao and Li bookstores would send fifteen skilled craftsmen to Li Bao's first village to set up a Datang printing workshop.

In addition, for the few craftsmen of the Diao and Li families, Li Bao sent the teenagers raised by the First Zhuang School to the two families as apprentices. He also promised that the new technology in the Datang Printing Workshop would be given priority to Diao and Li. There are also royalties that will be reduced as appropriate in return for their contribution to Datang's printing business.

In addition, Li Bao specially provided a committee seat for Diao and Li in the first Datang Patent Office to facilitate future office. As for the official identity of this patent office, Li Baozi will discuss it with Yang Yan, and presumably Prime Minister Yang will not give Li Bao face.

After the printing event was arranged, Li Bao put down a big stone, and the next thing was to discuss with Yang Yan about the promotion of national bonds and the matter of participating in the coinage prison.

For large households, the bookkeeping method can be used for the sale of government bonds, and the later sale of bonds to ordinary people can only be carried out after the establishment of the printing workshop.

For the promotion of national bonds, Li Bao does not need to bother, and the prime ministers of their own political affairs hall are bothered. And there are many official eunuch families in Chang'an City, if someone is unwilling to buy, it is that they have no confidence in the future of Datang.

Since this is the case, what else is there to say, Jing Zhaoyin's prison has already opened a special room for them, and it is said that the new Jingzhao Mansion Prison has made a lot of money.

In the face of the hot sales of treasury bonds, Li Bao was very proud, corrupt officials and corrupt officials were so greedy, they should have spit it out a long time ago. However, he didn't pay too much attention to the matter of this national debt, after all, the matter of his bank, Xinglong Bank, was also on the agenda.
