Chapter 33: Untitled
It is a historical necessity that commerce is inferior to industry, and Spain and the Netherlands have prospered for a while because of commerce, but it is difficult to maintain stability for a long time.
"If the asset management institution is to be established as much as possible, the household department will take the lead in organizing manpower." Zhu Yongxing continued to explain, "Not only in the commercial field, but also in industry and handicrafts, the potential is also very large, and the production efficiency of small workshops based on individuals is too low, and it must be gradually changed." â
"Master Long, do you mean the textile industry?" Yi Cheng asked suspiciously.
At present, the most important production of individual units is textiles, which are very traditional for men and women. But Zhu Yongxing is not just referring to textiles, although the beginning of the industrial revolution began with textiles.
"All industries should include, the textile industry is the focus, the first to support the shipbuilding industry, steel industry. Well, this needs to be discussed and studied, and I'm just saying it casually. Moreover, it is a prerequisite for the great development of industry, the abolition of the tax, and the liberation of people from the shackles of land. â
Zhu Yongxing said casually, but no one dared not to take it seriously. Yi Cheng kept it in mind and planned to plan well when he went back.
"When it comes to the problem of low production efficiency, it also involves science and technology and invention and innovation...... Zhu Yongxing muttered, considering whether the patent law should be introduced earlier.
In the West, one of the earliest patents is generally considered to be a 15-year monopoly granted by King Henry III of England to a citizen of Bordeaux in 1236 to make various colored fabrics. But in reality this is a form of feudal privilege, not a patent in the modern sense.
The first country to establish a patent system was probably Venice, which in 1474 enacted the first patent law with a modern character. The first documented patent was granted two years later. However, history generally believes that the Monopoly Statute enacted by England in 1624 was the beginning of modern patent law, and it had a great influence on the patent laws of various countries in the future. It is known as the "Magna Carta of Inventors' Rights".
Of course, it is possible to emulate, but Zhu Yongxing believes that adopting another method, that is, the inventor certificate system, should be more beneficial to the country and the people, and more suitable for China's national conditions today. The so-called inventor's certificate means that the invention right belongs to the state, and the inventor receives a certain remuneration and reward. However, the use of his invention by other persons approved by the state cannot be denied. In later generations, many countries adopted patent laws, and some countries adopted invention certificate systems.
From encouraging invention to create zĂ o. and the remuneration received by inventors, the patent law should be more than the inventor certificate system. However, Zhu Yongxing does not think that the inventor certificate system is not applicable, because it is a new thing and has not been used before. And no one will be picky.
From encouraging invention to create zĂ o. Respect for intellectual property rights is a gradual process, and it is not something that can be achieved overnight to form a virtuous circle.
"Some detailed regulations, go back and study and decide!" Zhu Yongxing felt that there was no need to continue to discuss in depth in such an environment, so he said with a smile: "Well, I can relax when I come out and don't talk about business." Try these tapas. Spice up the main meal. Just like life, it needs some change. It's not interesting to stay the same. â
Rou'er's giggling attracted the attention of a table of people, Zhu Yongxing didn't have any impression of Zhang Shihua, but he was happy that his daughter could be happy. After taking a closer look, Zhu Yongxing found that this girl was very beautiful, but she was actually closer to the standard of beauties in later generations.
Of course, this is not to say that Mengzhu and Long'er, as well as Duan Wan'er, are not beautiful, but beauty and beauty are not the same, just like there are many beauties, but their appearance is not the same.
Zhu Yongxing felt special, so his eyes stayed on Zhang Shihua for a few more moments, then smiled slightly, turned his head and continued to chat with Yi Cheng and Zheng Zhaoren. Although he didn't have any other ideas, he was looked at by Zhang Chuantian.
"Master Long, you should choose more palace people." Yi Cheng also noticed the lingering gaze of Zhu Yongxing, and said tentatively: "There is no Han family girl as a concubine, which may cause discussion." â
"Han girl? Isn't she? Zhu Yongxing felt that his hands and feet should have been acquiesced, but he didn't expect Yi Cheng to ask questions again.
Yi Cheng smiled bitterly, lowered his head to drink tea, and expressed his disagreement without answering. It's just a concubine, if you want to make her the queen, I'm afraid it's not the time for the ministers to be silent.
Zheng Zhaoren grinned and said, "Master Long doesn't have to worry, if Concubine Xian gives birth to a prince, it is okay to be crowned a king overseas." You know, these hundred officials, these ten thousand people, if the bloodline of the inheritor is not Han, I am afraid that there will be chaos! â
Zhu Yongxing frowned, thinking about it and not speaking. Yi Cheng and Zheng Zhaoren are considered cronies, they both see it this way, I'm afraid they really can't act hastily. This is China, it is impossible to accept the queen like other countries, Britain and the Netherlands, but in China, this is unthinkable. In addition to that Wu Zetian, he was later hacked to be both absurd and cruel.
As for the overseas king, it is a feasible way. Luzon counts as one, Borneo counts as one, Australia counts as one, and there are other regions. It's not worrying about it, and it's not too guilty for Mengzhu and Long'er.
Of course, in this case, we cannot adopt the methods of the Western colonizers, but the key to the stable occupation of these places is to make the main ethnic groups in these places become Han Chinese.
According to the rationality of resource allocation, 100 million people in Chinese mainland should be relatively reasonable. And in a few decades, or even a hundred years, if peace and stability can be maintained, and fertility can be encouraged, the population will definitely exceed 100 million. This extra population can be diverted to the various occupied areas, gradually making it a stable land of China.
Policies should be encouraged and concepts should be changed, so that people can consciously and voluntarily go to other places to explore and live. At least in people's minds now, not many people are willing to leave their homeland and go to a foreign land.
Will the vision become a reality? Zhu Yongxing felt that it would take at least ten or twenty years, or even longer, for someone to recognize and praise his powerful government, expansion and aggression, and persistently implement it to the end. This involves political stability, not only during his reign, but also during the reign of his successor, a dream that can only be fully realized for decades, or even centuries. Therefore, he had to worry about the adverse effects of insisting on making Mengzhu the queen.
When Zhu Yongxing left the teahouse, he had something on his mind, but Rou'er made him laugh again.
"Weevil-trunked monkeys, little squirrels...... Don't forget! Rou'er seemed to have reached some agreement with Zhang Shihua, and turned around as she walked.
And Zhang Shihua was already stunned, the man who led the little princess away - oh my God! (To be continued......)
