Han Yanhui was very rude and came to visit An Guogong before dinner.

There is still a little time before dinner, and An Guogong does not have the habit of greeting politely and twisting and turning like a civil official. The little guy came in and reported that "Han Xiangye has arrived", and when An Guogong went out to greet him, he asked Ye Xinyan to come over by the way.

Han Yanhui said that the old guy was here to ask his granddaughter about things, and just listening to his granddaughter's opinions in the imperial study was enough for the old guy to think about it.

I think he still dragged his granddaughter because of convenience, and listened to her explanation for a long time before he understood what she meant.

In the living room of the Guogong Mansion, An Guogong and Han Yanhui sat down as guests, just served tea, and after a few polite words, Ye Xinyan arrived.

Han Yanhui heard that Miss Ye was outside, and immediately felt a lot more comfortable. I haven't dealt with An Guogong privately before, so I don't know much. At this time, it seems that An Guogong is not only cunning and uninhibited, but also a neat person.

He bowed his hand to An Guogong knowingly to show his gratitude.

He originally wanted to say a few more greetings, so he opened his mouth and said to An Guogong that he wanted to meet Miss Ye. I didn't expect An Guogong to be so simple, but I was afraid that he didn't enter the door, and the people sent by An Guogong to invite Ye Xinyan went to the backyard.

Ye Xinyan entered the door and gave the two of them a salute first.

An Guogong waved his hand, first waved away the subordinates who were waiting in the living room, and then said to Ye Xinyan: "In my own family, Han Xiangye is not a very outsider, so sit on the side." "If the old fellow is very discerning, he must not come to the door and ask a young woman for advice.

Ye Xinyan looked very respectful and thanked him, and sat down at the head of An Guogong.

Han Yan glanced back at An Guogong, and then at Ye Xinyan, as if he was thinking about how to speak.

Ye Xinyan saw it in her eyes and turned to An Guogong, "Grandfather, I don't know what you are looking for your granddaughter?" ”

An Guogong nodded with satisfaction, his granddaughter was still smart, generous and decent, and he could see that he was too lazy to spend time entertaining Han Yanhui, and he could not show that he was in a hurry to send people away in his words.

He looked at Han Yanhui, and that look was to tell Han Yanhui: This is my granddaughter's opportunity to ask you questions, why don't you hurry up and get down to business?

Han Yan smiled back at An Guogong, then looked at Ye Xinyan, and said solemnly: "Miss Ye is very talented, the words that Miss Ye said in the imperial study a few days ago, as well as the note handed over this morning, opened the old man's eyes and gave him a sense of epiphany. ”

An Guogong listened, his eyes widened instantly, this compliment...... Too much, right? What is Han Yanhui's mind when he returns to this old man, praising his granddaughter so much, I don't know if he harbors evil intentions?

Ye Xinyan was a little sweaty, she laughed uncomfortably: "Don't dare to be, Xiangye, you have won the award, those little women are just a little careful thinking about doing business to make money, and they really don't deserve such praise from Xiangye." ”

She really doesn't dare to be it, really speaking, she is just an ordinary person. Just take some of the things that have been seen and heard by later generations and those things that have been confirmed by decades and hundreds of years of history here, and show them in this era, that's all.

She was already very embarrassed when she heard Jiang Yifan relay Jinrong's words before, but when she heard Han Yanhui say these words in front of her, she was so weak that she almost couldn't hold on to her face.

"An Guogong and the eldest lady are both cheerful people, and the old man is straightforward and down to business. The patent law mentioned in the eldest lady's article is something new that has never been done before, and it is difficult to write it into the law. Although they are all officials of the imperial court, not everyone can understand the truth, and many courtiers need to be persuaded to do it. ”

Ye Xinyan nodded seriously, "The little woman understands. ”

Historically, it has always been difficult to do something that has never been done before. If no one has mentioned the patent before, no one will see the benefits involved. At this time, it was officially put out, but I was afraid that many powerful people and families would oppose it and were unwilling to let the interests of the craftsman be protected.

There will also be cautious officials, in order to maintain their high status as scholars, who will turn black and white upside down, and refuse to recognize that patent protection can promote social development.

"The eldest lady is not an ordinary woman, and the old man does not hide it from the eldest lady. It is difficult to enshrine patent protection in the law, but it is not impossible. However, if there are highly effective appliances in the future, similar to those developed by Miss Ye, these appliances will be twice the result with half the effort, and there will be great business opportunities. The huge interests are in front of me, even if there is the protection of the law, it may not be able to stop the powerful people from stretching out their black hands. ”

After Han Yanhui finished speaking, he looked at Ye Xinyan with burning eyes. To be honest, he was a little skeptical that Ye Xinyan could have a way. However, since she made the offer, what maybe, perhaps, she also had some ideas?

Ye Xinyan secretly estimated in her heart that the combination of Jinrong and Han Yanhui was really good. Although Han Yanhui has been an official for many years and has been cunning and arrogant, he is really an official who wants to do practical things, and he really wants to get this thing done.

"It depends on how determined the imperial court is to enforce the patent law. The interests of the imperial court are not insignificant. However, after several dynasties have been implemented, they can still maintain a rare clarity. As long as there is determination, law enforcement can always be guaranteed. ”

Han Yan looked embarrassed and said: "This is true, but the imperial examination is a scholar for the imperial court, and those who participate in the scientific examination are all scholars, and the scholars are noble." ”

The woman in front of her didn't seem to look down on scholars, and what he said in these two sentences was that scholars had a high status, so the whole world recognized that the imperial examination could be used for heavy canons.

But facts are facts, Han Yanhui paused and continued, "And what the patent law protects is the property of craftsmen, and it is money, which really cannot be equated. Fraud in the imperial examination is an untouchable crime, and it is also the only thing that is severely punished by the law. If the heavy law is used too much, I am afraid that there will be no heavy law. ”

This is true, and this is basically what the law does not hold the public accountable, and the intensity of protecting one project is naturally different from protecting two or three projects.

What's more, people who eat by working with their hands have not had as much status as people who eat by using their brains since ancient times. Not to mention ancient times, even modern times are the same.

"It's not that the little woman is alarmist, the effect of the implementation of this patent law is in the interests of the country and the people, and it is no less than the imperial examination."

Han Yan frowned a little when he heard this. He felt that Ye Xinyan's proposal could promote the renewal and creation of various instruments and instruments, and it was indeed beneficial to the court and the people. But if it is too high, it will not be convincing.

"That's right, Han Xiang, you see ......"

Ye Xinyan did not have a very profound theoretical basis, she could only give examples to tell Han Yanhui: the extraordinary significance of innovation and handicrafts, and even the eventual development of industry.

She changed the improvement of agricultural tools from simple to complex since ancient times, the gradual improvement of looms to perfection, and even the change in the strength of refining weapons.

It's okay to say anything else, when he mentioned the weapon, even An Guogong's face changed. Especially those that Ye Xinyan said, maybe in the future, they can develop weapons with stronger strength, incomparable penetration, instantaneous speed, and great power, which almost made An Guogong's blood boil for many years.
