Those who planned to develop new projects saw the benefits of handicrafts and craftsmen, and intended to comply with the imperial patent law and seek long-term benefits from it.

Handicrafts, and even the simplest pre-industrial age, seem to have a precursor to the beginning.

The craftsmen who are doing technology promotion outside are also supervising whether there are any merchants or workshops in various places that are imitating their own farm tools and buying and selling for profit.

In particular, in the Wonju area, which was affected by the disaster, new farming tools have been used and are well aware of the great benefits of farming tools.

Compared with other places, farm tools in the Wonju area sell well, although there are not many, but there are a few pieces.

Nearly a year has passed, and there are really a few that imitate and sell farm tools after they are bought.

Ordinary people were sued by the people of the mechanical workshop to the yamen, and the yamen showed the relevant provisions of the imperial court law: no matter who developed first and applied for patent protection first, then he was the object of protection by the imperial court, and nothing else. The imperial court encouraged everyone to report patents and obtain the support and protection of the imperial court.

In addition, the Qijia Machinery Workshop as the plaintiff, the shareholders behind it are Prince Yu and the nobles of the capital, and these people also admit punishment. In view of the fact that the infringement incident has just occurred, it has not caused significant damage to the patent holder, and the defendant has a good attitude of admitting guilt. According to the law, only a certain amount of compensation was made, and the sale was ended at the same time.

There are also two merchants who lost the lawsuit and want to do this business, so they took the opportunity to negotiate with Qijia Construction Bank and purchased the patented technology.

Although Ye Xinyan wants to earn money from the transfer of farm tool technology, she wants to promote farm tools even more. Therefore, the price of patents is not expensive, and there is no limit to the number and scope of customers to promote.

But this was in ancient times, the law was not perfect, and all kinds of powerful people had many privileges.

A large town in Xingzhou, which is adjacent to Wonju, lives a wealthy family - Xinyonghou.

The first generation of Xinyonghou was also sealed at the time of the founding of the country, and he was hereditary. The first generation of Xinyonghou was not a general who fought everywhere, but a right-hand man beside the founding emperor, who sacrificed his life to protect the emperor many times.

sacrificed his life to protect the emperor for the last time, and almost took his last breath. It was at this stop that the people he protected won the world and became the founding king of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Although the guards saved their lives, they were crippled. Lost a leg, an eye. The credit of the guard is great, but his situation is not good for him to be an official in the court.

The emperor ascended the throne, named the guard as the Marquis of Xinyong, allowed him to return to his hometown, and a gold medal for avoiding death, and returned to his ancestral home in Xingzhou with the guard.

The descendants of Xinyonghou took this gold medal to avoid death, eating the money of the imperial court, although they did not do anything to harm the township, but they also relied on this gold medal to open up a road that ordinary people did not have, and it has been prosperous for more than 100 years.

Imitation and sale of new agricultural tools, which can ignore the patent law and do well, is a shop under the name of Xinyong Houfu.

After the Qijia Machinery Workshop sued the shop to the yamen, it was not the one who was in charge of the people, but the son of Xinyong Hou himself.

The prince was very angry, and he didn't even say half a word of justification, and directly took out the gold medal for avoiding death.

After that, the business was carried out, and the money was earned. Moreover, this shop and the workshop it operates happen to be for the sale of agricultural tools, and the output of new agricultural tools is very large.

The rank of the county government is too low, and neither party can afford to offend, so they categorically dare not try this case. Besides, the person who holds the death-free card, he doesn't have the right to be convicted by the county, right?

Anyway, he didn't dare to judge the case, so the magistrate simply broke the jar and handed over the case to the government.

The prefect also had this attitude, and the case was handed over to the Beijing yamen layer by layer.

You Chenghui took the file and frowned.

Local officials can be pushed up the ladder to him, but he does not have the power to reprimand and dismiss local officials.

But if he dares to say that he can't be sentenced and push the case in front of the emperor, then he, the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, just doesn't want to do it.

For the first time, he hoped that Miss Ye could come to his Beijing Yamen, whether she was powerful or arrogant, as long as she could come forward and face off against the prince of Xinyonghou, maybe his case would be easier to try.

Otherwise, people are holding the gold medal for avoiding death, and it is not a capital crime, and he, a petty official of the fourth grade, really has no choice. But if the letter is not judged, how can the newly released and hot patent law of the imperial court be maintained and continued?

The problem is that Grandma Jiang is famous, and everyone knows that Grandma Jiang is now pregnant with Liujia, and there is even a imperial doctor arranged by the emperor himself, in order to take care of Grandma Jiang who is about to give birth in time.

Everyone has reached this critical time, where can they still go to court?

Let's take a look at the whole world, except for Grandma Jiang, who else dares to attack the gold medal for avoiding death?

At this time, Ye Xinyan was already waiting to give birth at home. Zhou Baguio gave birth to a son more than ten days earlier than the expected delivery date. She had reached her due date, but she hadn't moved yet.

Many people say that she can only be happy with this child. Although the family is worried behind their backs, they avoid mentioning this topic in front of Ye Xinyan. But thinking of Jiang Yifan's age, Ye Xinyan was still depressed.

You said that Zhou Baguio is young, why are you in a hurry, Mr. has a daughter, how good it would be to have another son. It's better to give her the opportunity to give birth to a son for the first child, she is an elderly mother, and Jiang Yifan is also a handful older, so she is in a hurry here.

Ye Xinyan was worrying about all kinds of whimsical troubles, but she heard Qiu Runsheng report that she had fought all the way to the patent infringement case in the capital.

"His family has sold more than a dozen farm tools?" Ye Xinyan was inexplicably surprised, the productivity of this era is low, and the time for other companies to imitate it should not be long, how can it be so fast?

"What is his family doing? More than ten units have been sold in such a short period of time, so wouldn't they make more farm tools? ”

"Yes, the little one inquired, this shop and workshop in Xinyong Houfu was originally engaged in the business of instruments and farm tools. I heard that the Hou Mansion has taken the road, there is a sufficient amount of iron with a special quota from the imperial court, and there are many craftsmen under it, which is not comparable to ordinary small workshops. ”

Ye Xinyan wrinkled her eyebrows, this Xinyong Houfu has good eyesight and knows the potential of these farm tools. Like him, this method and production scale can even occupy most of the market of the Great Xia Dynasty, and over time, the money he can earn is very considerable.

The first patent of the imperial court was defeated by power. In the long years that followed, how could the rights and interests of craftsmen and investment in R&D be guaranteed? And where can artisans and vulnerable investors be stimulated to develop innovation and develop industry?

Qiu Runsheng continued: "The little one asked for a little money and asked the person in charge of the yamen. They said that this case, even if it was tried in court, Xinyong Hou Shizi would not be convicted with a gold medal for avoiding death. He continued to make and sell farm tools, and no one could do anything to him. ”

This is bullying, isn't it? also bullied her, a pregnant woman. The old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant, that is to give up their seats on the subway bus. But now, the silver that should have belonged to her and the machinery of the whole world were taken lightly at such a time?

She was indignant for a moment, and stood up suddenly, making Song Ping's family and several grandmothers in the house tremble with fright, "Ouch, my grandmother, you can't be like this with your body." ”
