A few days later, Zhang Chao went to the palace again, and then took the initiative to ask about Li Yuan's condition.

"Your Majesty, how are you feeling lately?" Zhang Chao asked.

Li Yuan laughed and said, "Not bad, it's really good." Recently, I have not only gained strength, but I also feel full of energy, as if I am ten years younger. And, in the after. In the palace, I have also shown my majesty again, not bad! ”

Hearing that Li Yuan actually connected him to the back. The things in the palace also took the initiative to tell himself, and Zhang Chao knew that he had given the six-flavor Dihuang pill just right. Because Li Yuan's old age and kidney deficiency were weak, he still didn't dare to go to the imperial doctor for the sake of face. However, Zhang Chao took the initiative to send a Liuwei Dihuang pill, so that Li Yuan's kidneys could be nourished, and then later. The fact that he was able to show his majesty again in the palace obviously satisfied his man's vanity a lot. And this is a medicine for the kidneys, not a medicine for tigers and wolves that is too vicious. However, Zhang Chao and Li Yuan have a "little secret" because of this, so that there is a common secret between subordinates and leaders, which is very beneficial to the deepening of their relationship.

"Your Majesty, do you think my Liuwei Dihuang Pill can be useful?" Zhang Chao asked.

Li Yuan replied: "Yes, it is very useful, not only is it cheap, but it is also effective, and it is a rare good medicine." ”

"Your Majesty, do you think you can sell it?" Zhang Chao asked.

"Yes, there are definitely a lot of people who are older and unable to do their best, so this is definitely a good thing." Li Yuan also replied.

Zhang Chao immediately said: "Then ask the emperor to issue an edict to the Tai Hospital, that is, about my patent for this Liuwei Dihuang Pill!" ”

"Patents, what's it?" Li Yuan didn't quite understand.

About two hours later, Zhang Chao took this edict to the Imperial Doctor's Office, and then gave it to the imperial doctors.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this edict is about an edict issued by the emperor, and in the future, anyone who is willing to take out his ancestral secret recipe, or what he has found a prescription with a special effect for the treatment of a certain disease, can then be handed over to our royal hospital for production and proportioning. Then we, the Datang Imperial Medical Department, will protect their interests, and in the future, whoever wants to use those prescriptions must take out a part of the money to provide the prescriptions and our Tai Hospital. A special prescription is a fee for an additional portion of the medicine depending on the difficulty of the condition being treated. Half of this money goes to the people who provide the prescription for their profits, which is considered to be a reward for them. And our Imperial Medical Department takes the other half, and then uses it as the income of our Imperial Medical Department, part of which is used to fight those who use our prescriptions without authorization and do not give money, and the other part is to remove the operating costs of our Imperial Hospital, and hand it over to the emperor as the profit of our Imperial Medical Department. ”

When Zhang Chao explained the matter about the protection of the prescription, this made many people feel very surprised, because this is actually using the administrative power of the state to protect the interests of a certain secret recipe, to ensure that those secret recipes are not stolen casually, and then when others use it, they must also pay them a part of their wealth. And the Imperial Medical Department is not in vain to protect their interests, and the Imperial Medical Department can also get a part of the revenue as the income of the Imperial Medical Department, and then they can also maintain their own operations, so that not only do not need additional state funding, but also can get the profits handed over to the emperor.

And many imperial doctors are also muttering in their hearts, because if they do this, they will really be able to obtain huge wealth! After all, these imperial doctors, who don't have some ancestral secret recipes, or have some special prescriptions for treating diseases, and they all use these prescriptions to treat diseases. However, in order to protect their own interests, they naturally will not easily divulge those secret recipes. And all kinds of craftsmen and craftsmen in China, as well as those doctors, also pay attention to the so-called keeping a hand when teaching their apprentices, which is also for fear that the apprentices of the church will starve to death of the master. However, it is a pity that many effective techniques and prescriptions have also been lost.

But now Emperor Li Yuan has issued an edict that they can protect the interests of the physicians who provide prescriptions, and ensure that those prescriptions will not be used casually. And the user has to pay a certain price, and half of the money will be given, and the other half will be given to the Department of the Imperial Doctor. But this also makes many people very excited, because if they rely on so many prescriptions of their own, how can they get a lot of benefits? If you rely on your own inheritance from generation to generation to use this prescription, it will definitely take many years to obtain a certain benefit.

But if you get this Tai Yi Office, so that the Tai Yi Department can be protected, and then everyone can use it, but people have to share it with them every time they use it, and then it will be like a river, and a steady stream of income will flow into their own hands. Originally, I relied on myself to treat others, but it was just a hard-earned money. But now that I can get the protection of the Imperial Medical Department, isn't that just being able to get a steady stream of wealth, and wealth is like flowing water!

"Can that be protected forever?" Immediately a physician asked.

Zhang Chao immediately said: "No, it can only be protected for twenty years." Twenty years later, anyone in the world can use it for free. ”

"It's only been twenty years!" Someone sighed helplessly and said.

Zhang Chao snorted: "Could it be that you can always rely on a prescription to eat for generations to come?" Born in sorrow and dying in peace, if it is protected forever, then this is making people unable to move forward, forever eating the old book, and not continuing to study medical skills. So, we can't protect forever, only for 20 years. ”

Zhang Chao's idea is actually to let the patented scheme be implemented in advance, so as to promote the development of medicine. In Zhang Chao's eyes, this Taiyi Department is actually an institution that can treat patients, and can also rely on the production of medicines, as well as the patent protection of prescriptions for other doctors. Although there is a suspicion of being both an athlete and a referee in doing so, everything must be done gradually, and it can only be gradually separated in the future. In this way, the Taiyi Medical Department is also a "state-owned enterprise" that can obtain a steady stream of income.

"Twenty years is enough, and in these twenty years, it is enough to make a prescription make a lot of money. And in twenty years, as long as the prescription is good enough, it is enough to make money that more than ten generations of people in the past can't earn! In the past, even if you covered the prescription yourself, how much could you earn? Maybe you're afraid of being stolen and made known to the world. And now with this Imperial Medical Department to protect, it is enough for many people to come up with a prescription, although this prescription will be made public, but in the next twenty years, it will be enough to earn money that they can't earn in decades or even hundreds of years! With this method, it is enough to make many doctors desperately research new prescriptions and then treat more diseases. And why can't it be protected permanently, in fact, it is a person born in sorrow and died in peace, if a prescription can be protected from generation to generation, it will not only not be able to promote the progress of medicine, but will still regress. A Imperial Physician said.

"Well, yes, that's the truth. There must be a limit to everything, and our prescription patent is actually to promote the development of medicine, so that doctors can work hard to treat patients, and then let more people solve the pain of illness. And we are not so that doctors and their descendants can enjoy this income for generations, otherwise we will not only not be able to make medical progress, but we will harm hundreds of people! So, twenty years, is very sufficient. And more than 20 years, it can still benefit hundreds of people, and this is the real contribution. When the time comes, the history of Danshu will also record your contributions. ”

Zhang Chao's words moved many people's hearts, because twenty years can not only obtain wealth that gentlemen in the past decades have not been able to earn for hundreds of years, but also can obtain historical records. If the formula of your own drug can be made public, then the reputation you have gained is definitely good. If there is no protection in the past, once the prescription is made public, the final result is that countless people can use it, and then I just get praise from others, and then the results of my years of hard work are also lost.

And now, even if you make the prescription public, you can get the protection benefits, which will not only make many people use it, but also make countless people praise your "benevolence". And to get huge benefits, and then earn benefits that you can't get for dozens of generations, which is of course a good thing. This kind of thing not only gains face, but also gets huge benefits, and even in the future, Danshuqing will be able to leave his own good name in the history of Danshuqing. Who doesn't want such a good thing, it's much better than in the past. In the past, not only could they not get much money, but after it was made public, people would not give them money, so the apprentices of the church starved to death of the master.

And many smart people have also thought of it, isn't this patent edict just to prevent the disciples from starving to death of the master? When the time comes, if there is the protection of this patent, the master will not only not keep a hand, but will hope that more people will learn, because the more people who learn, the more they can make themselves more earning. At that time, the proliferation of prescriptions is not only not a bad thing, but something that can give them more benefits, and they must like it very much. At that time, the apprentice will not only not starve the master to death, but will make the master rich!

Zhang Chao saw everyone's heartbeat, and he knew that his plan had succeeded. Because these guys are not really pure-hearted, they want to be rich, they also want to be famous, so they are very interested in this patented method. Because of patent protection, you can not only get huge benefits but also get a good reputation, especially doctors, with this patent protection can give them a lot of protection in terms of economic interests and reputation, so that they have money and can get fame, why don't they do it.

There are very few people in this world who are not greedy for money, and people who are not greedy for money are often more terrible, because they are often also greedy for other things, such as women or power. And these doctors can not only gain money, but also fame, is there anything better than this?

"Isn't it true that some people can specialize in researching prescriptions, and as long as there are more prescriptions, they will also get huge benefits?" Someone asked.

"Yes, as long as you can develop a prescription and register it before someone else, we will protect it. If you can have a few more prescriptions, you may be able to earn money that you will never be able to spend in a few lifetimes! Therefore, if you have any prescription, you can take it out and hand it over to our Imperial Medical Department to operate, and then make it into a finished medicine as appropriate, so that many patients can also get treatment. Therefore, in the future, you can specialize in prescriptions, and then you can also get a lot of wealth. ”

And many doctors are also red-eyed, they didn't expect that they can earn income by studying prescriptions, and it is much better than seeing a doctor, which makes them feel very profitable. In the future, everyone will specialize in prescriptions, won't they be able to reap the benefits?

Zhang Chao knew that these imperial doctors were also very tempted, because this patented method was indeed a very effective method. Zhang Chao knew about this patent bill in later generations, and it could promote the development of human civilization in later generations. Because of this patent, many scientists and engineers have worked hard to study science and promote human civilization. This patent bill can be said to be one of the most important bills that have affected human civilization and has an immeasurable role in the promotion of human civilization. Later, the West was able to surpass China, although there are many reasons, but this patent bill is definitely one of the very important paving stones. In later generations, China did not have the protection of the patent law, and a large number of scientists did not have the idea of developing science, and finally they were misappropriated by those people, which also seriously hit the motivation of research and development of science and technology. And with this patent bill, those who study science and technology have enough returns, and can have enough protection, so that they are willing to work hard to develop it, so the benefits are absolutely immeasurable.

At present, Zhang Chao also plans to propose this patented method in medicine, and then it can be spread to other industries step by step, so that everyone can also obtain patent protection. Once patents are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it will also allow scientific and technological workers to gain a lot of wealth, so that they have the confidence and motivation to develop technology.

"Okay, now our Tai Hospital has also taken out the first patented product, which is my Liuwei Dihuang Pill, and then I can use it to sell the finished medicine. Next, the benefits will be shared between me and the Department of Physicians. Zhang Chao said.
