Although there was the support of the emperor, there were a large number of civil servants in the court, and most of them were scholars, so there was always resistance to the writing and implementation of the patent law.

With the participation and proposal of Jinrong and the people behind him, the content of the patent law not only has provisions to protect the research and development results of craftsmen, but also has a hierarchical examination and identity guarantee for craftsmen who have made achievements.

In Jinrong's proposal, that is, Ye Xinyan's proposal, the craftsmen are rated according to their products and contributions. Craftsmen of different levels enjoy different levels of the imperial court. There are also officials who do not kneel, which is equivalent to the preferential treatment of scholars.

This is Ye Xinyan's reference to her previous life, when industry was just emerging, to encourage workers to improve their skills.

In ancient times, when there was no literacy and no compulsory education, this kind of evaluation system and preferential treatment played a very important role in promoting craftsmen to improve their skills and let more people enter the craftsman industry.

However, in this way, the craftsman is also equivalent to having a reputation. Although this was only aimed at a small group of craftsmen with exquisite craftsmanship and outstanding contributions to the court and the common people, it also seriously challenged the status and dignity of scholars.

So, when it came time to revise the Law, there was considerable resistance.

Even the four ministers of the cabinet department disagreed.

Han Yanhui agreed, and Wei Xin and the others did not approve of it, but they only maintained an ambiguous attitude due to the emperor's prestige, but when they encountered something related to this, they were delaying and prevaricating, and even creating resistance.

Among them, Liu Chengzhi was born in a big family and had the most fierce opposition.

The emperor turned his attention to the four elders, and the people of the capital questioned the Ji family represented by Qingliu, which directly extended to question whether the scholar's conduct was noble.

Therefore, this is really a good opportunity to suppress many pedantic civil officials.

Liu Chengzhi listened to Jinrong's words, and his face was already ugly. At this time, looking at the emperor's expression, for fear that this matter would be finalized, he hurriedly got up, took a step, and said: "The law is left by the ancestors of the past generations, and it should not be changed. Your Majesty wants to give it a try for the prosperity of the world, and the ministers are willing to assist Your Majesty in completing it. But the revision of the law is a big deal, so how can it be rushed? There is also the matter of giving money to the craftsman, Weichen thinks that this is against the way of the saint, so it is better to be cautious. ”

Jinrong sat still and didn't move, but said, "Liu Xiang should have heard about the rumors in the capital these days, right?" The people are all discussing, since the scholars have no specific benefit to many people and the common people in the world, then why do the people still hold these people and provide for these people? ”

Liu Chengzhi's face turned red, and he secretly scolded Ji Xiaoyuan for becoming inflammatory, and he didn't have the eyesight to choose a good candidate, and in the end he couldn't even finish it well, and finally caused many people to follow him to shame and suffer.

He thought so in his heart, but his face was still ashamed and angry, and he asked angrily: "Your Highness has also read the books of sages, how can you insult Sven so much?" ”

Jin Rong said lightly: "This king doesn't have this ability. It is that many scholars are sorry for the teachings of the sages, do not think about the people of the world, and only seek benefits for themselves. It's just a shame on yourself. ”

"That's it! Since they have all read the books of the sages, they are arguing here, what kind of system is it? The emperor drank the two of them, simply turned to Han Yanhui, and said, "The rush to plant and harvest buckwheat in Yuanju, as well as the tools used in the imperial court fortifications, have verified the importance of the development of tools and handicrafts. The patent law must be implemented, and the provisions of the law will be taken out at the end of the year, and it will be implemented next year. ”

Wei Xin opened his mouth, this, it's too arbitrary, right?

Before he could figure out how to speak, the emperor's voice became even colder: "Huang Jingtao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is he old, is he not in good spirits?" Such a little thing dragged on for a year without results. If it doesn't work, then do it again. ”

The people present, except for Han Yanhui and Jinrong, everyone else was in their hearts.

This thing is handed over to the Ministry of Rites to do, if Lord Huang of the Ministry of Rites is old, doesn't that mean that he should tell the old man to return to his hometown?

In this way, the most popular candidate to take over as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is Sun Tingyue, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. Sun Shilang's youngest daughter, who was sent to King Yu's mansion, is the side concubine of His Royal Highness King Yu.

Liu Cheng's heart tightened, knowing that he was afraid that he would not be able to persist in this matter. His Royal Highness King Fu wants to go out of the court again, so he has to wait for two or three years, and he can't let King Yu's power grow too strong in these two or three years.

Today, the assistant minister of King Yu, the granddaughter of the first assistant of the dynasty is the concubine of King Yu. King Yu's nemesis Jiang Yifan is now in the Ministry of Industry, although he only holds the position of Langzhong, but his subordinates are in charge of much more affairs than ordinary Langzhong. Most of them are errands directly assigned by the emperor, and even Liu Chengzhi, the deputy assistant of the cabinet department who supervises the ministry, has no right to interfere.

If Sun Shilang takes over the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites again, King Yu will have a big help.

And Wei Xin and the other two ministers, after listening to the emperor's words, and then looking at Jinrong's eyes, there were also substantial changes. Of course, they want to maintain the status of scholars, but their current status and official position are more important.

Nowadays, the saint wants to develop the handicraft industry, if the saint intends to let King Yu inherit the unification, then they have to think about it, whether they want to continue to oppose the proposition of the emperor and King Yu, and cut off the honor and wealth of themselves and their families for these two generations?

Everyone present, thinking about their own interests and positions, actually asked the emperor to arrange the matter of patent law.

In the next two days, when some officials learned that the Ministry of Rites had stepped up the revision of the law, they were not afraid of death and proposed in the court that they should be cautious in handling the laws of their ancestors.

Naturally, the officials who were in favor of the change refused to let go, and the officials of the two sides competed with each other, foaming at the mouth, and chickens and dogs jumping in the courtroom.

At first, the emperor still wanted to be reasonable, but when he saw that it didn't make sense, he finally got angry, slapped the table and scolded angrily: "Is the way of the sages to let the people live in dire straits, and the scholars are in the top positions, but they turn a blind eye?" ”

"The sage said: The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. Could it be that if you read a few books of sages that have been read crookedly, you will be more noble than the people, more than the society, and more noble than me? The people in the mouth of the saints are precious, and in your eyes they become untouchables, and they become incivilized. That's how you read the sages? ”

"I'm going to think about it!"

The emperor's angry rebuke silenced the ministers who opposed the change, and the effect was remarkable.

But the emperor felt as if something was missing...... What is it?

Oh, remembered......

The emperor looked at Han Yanhui and Liu Chengzhi and said, "These officials who distort the teachings of the sages, you go back and rank them, and punish them according to the degree to which they distort the sages." Punishment ...... Half a year to two months, after sorting, hand it over to the ministry, and copy a copy to the newspaper. ”

After saying that, the emperor brushed his sleeves away.

…………

Not long after the imperial court received the good news of the buckwheat harvest in Wonju, Yin Xiaocheng, who was sent to the Wonju area to deter the people, came back to restore his life, along with the inspectors sent to various places.

Unlike the good news of the harvest in the drought-stricken areas, the news brought back by the imperial historian made the emperor very angry, and even many courtiers were surprised after learning the news.
