Chapter 152: This is the beginning of corruption
It turns out that this is the case, Xu Xi still thought that all the countries in this world were such a practice, but now it seems that the Holy Ancestor Emperor who established the Northern Yan Dynasty was very prescient, after all, this will definitely prevail in the future.
After all, this thing can only prove that this is your thing if it is patented.
"Then the firearm you developed was handed over to the emperor, can you buy the copyright?" Xu Xi asked curiously.
Gu Chaoci gave Xu Xi a roll of his eyes and said, "Are you stupid or am I stupid?" That thing is clearly going to be handed over to the state, and you still dare to ask for copyright fees? Even if you have ten heads, it's not enough to cut off. ”
To put it bluntly, this so-called purchase of copyright is limited to the homeless people in the market.
Between the powerful, if the rich and the poor are equal, it's okay to say, but if not, then don't mention this matter, otherwise, it is an act of looking for death, not to mention that this is still contributing to the Northern Yan Dynasty? Do you dare to ask for labor fees? It's really too much to think about.
"And what is the significance of this decree?" Xu Xi couldn't help but ask.
"It's not meaningless, at least when the Holy Ancestor Emperor was still there, up to the imperial court, down to the common people, they all obeyed, but later, gradually, this rule slowly became a little corrupt." Gu Chaoci said helplessly.
There are even some powerful people who will use other people's inventions to ask for benefits from the inventors, which is disguised blackmail.
However, if the emperor does not stop it, it will naturally become even more corrupt.
In this regard, Xu Xi didn't say anything more, after all, this thing doesn't sound like anything, but once you want to move, I'm afraid it won't be so easy, at least, just this one, it will touch the interests of many people, and naturally there will be many people who are not happy.
So, that's probably the beginning of corruption.
"I'm so full of food, this stomach is going to die." Gu Chaoci covered his stomach and said.
"Who told you to be gluttonous?" Xu Xi couldn't help but say, I don't know who it is, just now I insisted on eating two bowls of tofu flowers, and said that a bowl of tofu flowers is not money, and it is not considered Xu Xi's treat, so I have to pay for another bowl, but it turns out like this, who is to blame? Ask for yourself!
"No, no, I have to digest it well, or I'll die fat tonight." Gu Chaoci said firmly, "So I decided, tonight I know that the diet is over, otherwise, before this, I will definitely not go to the inn to rest." ”
"Okay, then you can eat well." Xu Xi said a little speechlessly.
"You are not allowed to go back, you have to accompany you." Gu Chaoci immediately grabbed Xu Xi's arm, for fear that she would run away in the next second, and decided directly.
"Yes, then I'll give up my life to accompany the gentleman?" Xu Xi asked.
"That's fine." Gu Chaoci said with a smile, then let go of Xu Xi's arm and continued to walk towards the front.
The time to hang out at night is actually not very late, anyway, when Xu Xi and Gu Chaoci returned to the inn, it was only a child's hour, that is, half past eleven in the evening, if this is placed in modern times, such a time is really too early for young girls in the metropolis.
There was nothing to say that night.
Early the next morning, the two of them had already gotten up, and after washing, they opened the door and walked downstairs, just at the staircase to meet, and they could go down together.
"I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep last night, but I didn't expect that I still slept very soundly, sure enough, staying up late the day before yesterday was too hurtful, but that kind of sunrise seems to be worth it." While going downstairs, Gu Chaoci also said to Xu Xi on the side.
"Hmm." After hearing this, Xu Xi nodded quietly, yes yes, , yes, , yes ”
Listen to that Zhang Youmin said, the venue of this chrysanthemum banquet is actually on the street, because it is a chrysanthemum banquet, so there will be a lot of people with chrysanthemums to appear, distribute signs, let people appreciate, and finally vote to determine the final winner.
Therefore, such a huge chrysanthemum feast is the best thing to complete on the street, and looking at today's weather, it should be a good weather. But what about this martial arts conference? Where will it be held?
You know, there are quite a lot of people in the rivers and lakes who have come here in the past two days, and this is also a larger place to accommodate so many people, right?
The invitation card said that the venue was in the Wanjia Manor on the outskirts of Nanzhao City. I heard that the Wanjia Manor, sitting on the ground for hundreds of miles, is very magnificent and magnificent, and it is definitely a good place to hold a martial arts conference. Gu Chaoci replied with a smile.
"Wanjia Manor?" Xu Xi hadn't heard of this place, and the venue was actually on the outskirts of the city instead of in this Nanzhao City.
"This Wanjia, originally the previous Wulin League leader, but later planned to wash his hands in the golden basin, Zen gave up the position of the alliance leader, is to return to the hometown of this Nanzhao City, and began to live for a long time, it is said that the old man of the Wanjia family, but only has only one son, but there are two daughters, the son did not mix in the rivers and lakes again, but entered the official career, therefore, not in this Nanzhao City.
Instead, he made a prefect in Fa County, which is a certain distance away from Nanzhao City, and it seems that he is still the new champion last year, and the literary style is still quite good, but it needs to be experienced and connected, otherwise it is really difficult to climb up.
And his two daughters stayed by his side, the eldest daughter got married, and the younger daughter was temporarily in the boudoir. After all, she is the youngest daughter, and she is considered an old woman.
I heard that this little daughter likes life in the rivers and lakes very much, anyway, she is not the kind of little bird who depends on people, and the daughter of the honest husband and son at home is right. The eldest daughter is married to a businessman, which can be regarded as a happy one.
Therefore, Wanjia is basically in a state of semi-detachment from the rivers and lakes, but after all, it is the previous martial arts alliance leader, and this time the martial arts conference will be held in Wanjia Villa, which is not unexpected, but something that is being cleaned up. ”
Gu Chaoci briefly introduced to Xu Xi what kind of family this so-called Wanjia is, and what kind of relationship it has with the rivers and lakes.
"I see." Xu Xi nodded and said with a sudden realization.
"Let's have breakfast and leave." Gu Chaoci said again, "The start time of the martial arts conference is in the middle of nowhere, and it is only the time when it has just arrived, there is still some time, you can have breakfast and leave." The Wanjia Villa is not very far from this Nanzhao City, even if it is only a half-pillar of incense, and we will still ride over it later.
An hour is enough. ”
"Okay." Xu Xi agreed with the answer, which made the shopkeeper serve a stack of steamed buns, two fried dough sticks, a bowl of porridge, and side dishes with porridge under the cold dish, all of which were available, Xu Xi and Gu Chaoci picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.
"The taste of this bun is still good, Xu Xi, you don't seem to like this kind of meat bun very much." After Gu Chaoci ate two steamed buns in a row, he looked at Xu Xi, who had not moved a bun, and couldn't help asking.
In this plate, there were only three buns, but the other two fritters were eaten by Xu Xi.
"Well, I don't like it very much." Xu Xi replied lightly, "I prefer this kind of fried thing." ”
I'm really a little tired of eating steamed buns made outside. In her previous life, she didn't like to eat very much, but maybe it was because she had been training since she was a child, and the most she ate was steamed buns, and she was a little tired of eating.
Anyway, after training, when she can finally choose her own food to eat, she has never eaten such a thing as steamed buns again, and steamed buns can accept it a little, steamed buns, forget it, especially vegetarian buns that are not even meat buns, and they are even more cold.
"Okay, but I'm already full, there's still one bun left, who is it for?" Gu Chaoci touched his stomach, and suddenly found that he was lying down and coming out with Xu Xi, as if it was easy to eat himself, it was like this the night before yesterday, it was like this last night, and it was like this this morning.
But who is to blame? Is it to blame Xu Xi for not eating much? So most of this stuff was eaten by her?
But in the end, isn't it because she loves to eat and can't control this mouth?
So, you did it yourself, right? When I ride a horse later, I hope I don't turn this belly breakfast upside down.
"Don't mind, you eat this bun again, after all, this waste of food is a shameful act, isn't it?" Xu Xi put down the chopsticks in her hand, a bowl of porridge had already been eaten, anyway, she had eaten this part well, and the rest was not her problem.
"I said, do I eat too much or do you eat too much?" Gu Chaoci looked at Xu Xi, who had been in a good time, and suddenly asked angrily.
"Of course it's the same amount, after all, you ate two buns, I ate two fritters, one person and one bowl of porridge, you say, who has more and who has less?" Xu Xi said very naturally.
"You're amazing." Gu Chaoci was really a little speechless, thought about it in a blink of an eye, and said, "Then since there are the same amounts, then one person and half, how about it?" I really can't eat, I always feel like I've eaten too much in the past two days, and I don't know how many pounds I'll lose? ”
"I don't eat it." Xu Xi shook his head slightly, said, and then pointed to the buns in this plate, "This bun is what you want to eat, I just ordered a fritter, and being able to help you finish eating another fritter is already considered a lot of food, so, you can figure out this bun yourself." ”
"You can't say that." Gu Chaoci suddenly wailed and said, "Xu Xi, how did you say that your mouth was refined?" Can't you say two words less? ”
"Of course you can. But this has nothing to do with this bun, so don't think I'll help you eat this bun, if you have this time, it's better to think about this bun, do you eat it yourself, or eat it yourself? Or do you eat it yourself? ”
Xu Xi looked at Gu Chaoci with a smile, and there was a posture of 'you still eat it honestly by yourself'.
