After a long time, the emperor raised his eyes, and saw Ye Xinyan standing alone on one side, his expression was very pitiful, a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he motioned to the chair beside her: "Sit down." ”

Ye Xinyan hurriedly took a seat and sat down on the edge of the chair.

Immediately, a little waiter held a cup of tea and put it in her hand. When Ye Xinyan nodded in thanks, he heard the emperor above say: "You proposed before that it is very reasonable to write patent protection into the law, but it is extremely slow. There have been more signs of stagnation lately. ”

The emperor's words didn't seem like asking Ye Xinyan's opinion, but more like talking to himself.

And Ye Xinyan was even more speechless when she heard it. Shouldn't this kind of thing be something that a person in charge like you, the emperor, and an important minister of the court like Han Yanhui, should consider?

She is a little woman, and she can explain this idea and the pros and cons that she can think of, and she has done her best. As for whether the progress goes smoothly or not, it has nothing to do with her, right?

Ye Xinyan complained secretly, and the emperor continued: "What you said to Han Xiang before is very enlightening, but if people insist on finding shortcomings and differences from it, it will be difficult to fully stand up,"

The Emperor paused, and continued, "I wonder if you have any other suggestions?" ”

Ye Xinyan looked at Han Yanhui in some surprise. Han Yanhui went to visit the Anguo Mansion that time, and she said something to Han Yanhui, that was because she didn't want to come forward, so she launched Han Yanhui and asked him to use those reasons to promote the implementation of the patent law.

Unexpectedly, Han Yanhui didn't hide it, and truthfully said that those words came from her. It looks like he's still a pretty disciplined old man.

Ye Xinyan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know where the difficulty is?" ”

The emperor hesitated for a moment and said, "Since all times, it has been scholars who have assisted the Son of Heaven in managing the affairs of the world. Farmers and agricultural affairs are related to the food, clothing and stability of the world. The hierarchical system of the Shinong merchants has been verified since ancient times, and a new law was created to protect the artisan trade, that is, to put the interests of money in the first place, which is almost equivalent to elevating the status of merchants. ”

If the status of scholars and farmers is shaken because of this, farmers all over the world are not engaged in farming, and scholars have also given up courtesy, righteousness and shame, and all pursue profits. So, what kind of decline will this world be? When the emperor said his last words, he showed the wavering of his heart.

Han Yanhui and Jinrong also looked at Ye Xinyan. There is no precedent, and no one knows what the future holds for implementation. But what the emperor said, that is, what the officials who opposed the patent said, no one dared to guarantee that it would not happen.

If it is true that because of patent protection, the people do not do their jobs properly, resulting in a lack of fame after a few decades, then the ministers of this dynasty are the sinners of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The reason why the emperor will appear in the unfinished garden of King Yu today is also because he heard that the scenery of King Yu's garden is very beautiful, and he came to evacuate some of the depression in his heart.

Ye Xinyan didn't expect that the protection of the patent law could not be promoted for this reason. To be honest, Ye Xinyan has always been a small person, even now, she is the granddaughter of An Guogong, and she is thinking about making money in business. She is not a superior person, and she has not considered things from the position of a superior person.

Modern people read books, but they do not read classics of scripture and history, and they are not classics of scripture and history that are widely used in society. In her opinion, these studies and thorough reading of scriptures and historical classics are only for the purpose of inheriting the cultural heritage of a nation, and for the status and strength of the country in that era, only science and technology and military are the top priorities.

But what should she say to the emperor?

Moreover, who said that the development of business will lead to the misery of the people? I think back then, the Northern Song Dynasty had loose policies and developed commerce, and that era was really rich, but it was just ...... Alas, the emperor's poor performance is a big reason, and the emphasis on literature and suppression of military force is also an important reason, right?

Seeing that Ye Xinyan didn't speak for a long time, the emperor was even more uncertain in his heart, and asked, "Do you also think that going on like this will lead to chaos in the world?" ”

Ye Xinyan raised her eyebrows, and glanced at Han Yanhui again: "Your Majesty, with all due respect to the little woman, the original essence of the world is to chase interests, and for thousands of years, I haven't seen how good or bad this world is." "Think she's stupid? Or are they actually stupid people who play tricks on power?

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Jinrong coughed and said, "Miss Ye, get down to business, get down to business." ”

Ye Xinyan blinked, as if it was a little too much.

"Your Majesty, the little woman doesn't understand political affairs, although she has a lot of ideas, but she is very chaotic, and I don't know where to start."

"It's okay, you can say it one by one." The emperor dispelled the sense of disobedience in his heart just now and nodded.

He is not afraid that this Miss Ye has too many reasons and doesn't know which one to say first. What he feared was that her proposal that day was only temporary, but there was no real reason to rely on.

Ye Xinyan sorted out her thoughts, picked out the first thought that came to mind, and said, "As far as the little woman knows, the biggest threat to our Great Xia Dynasty and even the previous dynasties comes from the nomads in the Northland. At the earliest, it was a barbarian tribe, and the border passes of the Central Plains would be harassed every year, and even people would be robbed of cities and land.

After the Xiongnu and Hu'er were also extremely strong, if there was no Great Wall stretching in the north, I don't know what kind of situation the Central Plains would fall into? These people don't study or farm, but they can detain the border when they want to. Your Majesty, if you don't have a force value, and you can't even protect your family and country, what kind of courtesy, righteousness, and shame are you talking about? ”

Jinrong breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ye Xinyan, and asked at the right time: "What does this have to do with patent protection?" ”

Ye Xinyan replied: "Patents protect ingenious tools and tools, including weapons and agricultural tools. Although the people are not allowed to make weapons privately, everything in the world is related, and if the development of private weapons is very prosperous, it will inevitably lead to the progress of weapons. ”

The emperor and Han Yanhui glanced at each other, and Han Yanhui said: "The ancient sages said that Cang Liao knew etiquette when he was sufficient, and he knew honor and disgrace when he had enough food and clothing. It is always necessary to keep the people well fed and clothed, so that the world can be stable. If the people are not satisfied with agricultural affairs because of other temptations, what will the court do to feed the people? ”

Ye Xinyan said lightly: "Forgive the little woman for her ignorance, who is the most bitter person in the world?" It's the peasants. Farmers plough in spring and harvest in autumn, plant a seed in spring, and harvest 10,000 seeds in autumn, but how much grain can really fall into the hands of farmers? Their ancestors have been hungry and cold for generations, but their ancestors have been planting in the spring and harvesting in the autumn for generations.

It makes no sense that they have suffered so hard for thousands of years, but because the imperial court promulgated a patent law, and if this law is really implemented, there will be agricultural tools that are conducive to farming, which makes farmers stop farming.

To put it bluntly, this is just a pretext for scholars to disregard the Son of Heaven, the imperial court, and the people of the world in order to maintain their own top status. ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows a little out of shape, this woman really dared to say anything. However, it seems to make a lot of sense. I want to talk about "Women's Beauty" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
