The Ming Patent Division was established during the reign of Emperor Taizong Zhu Di, and after a hundred years of development, there is a complete set of application procedures with almost no loopholes.

In the evaluation process, there will not only be a series of meticulous procedures such as technical research ideas, development directions, industry rules, etc., but also invention patents need to be developed as finished products.

This point has stumped countless people who only have simple ideas, so in Daming, most of the patents are only available in factories and research institutions.

If Zhou Bei impersonates his father, Dongzhou No. 5 Tractor Factory will not let it go.

What's more, this assessment was in Yingtianfu, Zhou Duo didn't go at all, Zhou Bei was able to cope with the assessment of all parties, and it was obviously not an embroidered pillow.

Although Zhu Yunsong was jealous in his heart, he also understood this.

Others patted the horse's legs, but they were all old rivers and lakes, and they didn't take this to heart, so they diverted the topic, and soon the atmosphere became lively again.

On the side floor of the hall, Zhu Lihua, who was arranging for servants to decorate the dining room, had already been summoned and knew what had happened.

Through the window at the back of the restaurant, I saw Zhu Liqing by the pond in the back garden, looking at the lotus flowers in the pond.

Zhou Bei stood tall and walked towards him gracefully.

It's understandable that the two of them didn't fight together like thunder and fire.

Zhu Liqing shouldered the heavy responsibility of the Tang Dynasty and the responsibility of the Tang Palace, and Zhou Zaiheng was a little slippery.

It's better to make the relationship between the two more exciting...... She turned her head and asked, "Where's Miss?" ”

Yin Qin, the housekeeper behind her, looked at his watch and said, "Miss should be in her courtyard, according to the procedure, she won't come out until half an hour before the dinner at seven o'clock." ”

The weather is too hot, and it won't get dark until nine o'clock in the evening, so today's dinner will start at half past seven.

Zhu Lihua said softly: "Let people reveal it to Wei Xiu'er, don't be too deliberate, just say that you will meet Zhu Liqing in Heng." ”

Yin Qin is 57 years old this year and was born in Xuezhou.

He was not admitted to university in his early years and could not be an official, so he had to transfer to the official system of Xue Wangfu, starting from a bookstore.

When Zhu Lihua was young, he taught Mengxue and was half a teacher.

After Zhu Lihua got married, he also achieved the ceremony in Xue Wangfu, and there was no room for growth.

Although the official position of the royal palace can be regarded as a small court, there are very few official positions with rank, less than twenty in total.

The highest official position must be appointed by the imperial court, and everyone else is the prince's confidant.

Yin Qin had no room to rise, and he was close to Zhu Lihua, so he simply resigned and followed Zhu Lihua and served as the housekeeper of the county lord's mansion.

In the county lord's mansion, he is the most favored person by Zhu Lihua, and he is in charge of the affairs of the county lord's mansion, not to mention the female Shi Zhu Qian, who is the guest of honor Yu Cheng, and many times he has to give him some face.

Of course, he knew Zhu Lihua's thoughts, knew her intentions, turned his head and ordered, and a maid went to Youwei's other courtyard by sending snacks.

And by the pond in the back garden, before Zhou Bei approached, Zhu Liqing had already sensed it and turned around.

In appearance, Zhu Liqing couldn't help but be a little jealous of Zhou Bei, this man is not only handsome, but also has good skills.

Although Zhu Liqing, as the prince's sister-in-law, can be crowned the king of the county in the future, and he is also outstanding, he is still a little jealous of the other party's excellence.

Still two meters apart, Zhou Bei seemed to have measured the distance between the two, walked step by step, just stood at a position of two meters, and bowed long. "I've seen the third prince."

Waiting for Zhou Bei to stand up straight, Zhu Liqing raised his head slightly, looked at Zhou Bei's familiar but unfamiliar face, and then suppressed the depression in his heart and said: "Don't be polite, maybe in your heart, I'm afraid you're still laughing at me." ”

Zhou Bei shook his head and said sincerely: "The third prince has an outstanding demeanor and a good family background, and he just took advantage of the first month near the water. The matter between me and Youwei still needs to be fulfilled by the third prince, and now I am honestly afraid, where does the joke come from? ”

There was nothing else to see from Zhou Bei's face, Zhu Liqing knew that his sixteen-year-old self still lacked experience and experience.

The only thing he can rely on is his own identity.

"Let's talk closely......" Zhu Liqing turned around and stood by the pond, his eyes skimmed over the lotus flowers and lotus leaves in the pond, and looked at the small courtyard in the distance. Is that Youwei's courtyard? ”

Zhou Bei took two steps forward, slightly half a step behind Zhu Liqing, and stood in the same direction as him and responded: "Yes." ”

"I heard that you are in the county lord's mansion as if you were in your own home, whether it is the guards or the servants, they all regard you as Youwei's future husband?"

Zhou Bei did not admit or deny it, but said: "Youwei is innocent and cute, Bei knows that she has a marriage contract, and he has suppressed and controlled his emotions for her, but he can't control his heart." North ......"

Zhu Liqing sneered, turned his head and said, "Zhou Zaiheng, do you still want to preach the concept of love freedom in front of this king!" This king doesn't want to hear you say this, even if there is real love between you and Youwei, but you can't deny the fact that she is the engaged wife of this king! ”

For Zhou Bei, Zhu Liqing was not a stranger, he had known the sixteen-year-old third prince of Tang Wangfu in many ways.

If it weren't for Youwei, Zhou Bei would still appreciate him.

He doesn't have much princely arrogance and arrogance, on the contrary, he is still a very self-disciplined and amiable teenager, even if affinity is disguised.

Among the thousands of princes of the clan, it is quite outstanding.

In the face of Zhu Liqing's interrogation, he was at a loss, and he also knew that the other party was very smart and did not fall into his own language trap.

His changed words bowed down and clenched his fists and said: "Bei is ashamed, everything is Bei's fault. ”

Seeing that Zhou Bei honestly admitted his mistakes, Zhu Liqing really didn't want to continue to be aggressive, and sighed and said: "Although this king is a prince, he is only one of the ninety-nine royal palaces of the Ming Dynasty, and it is still in Tangzhou, which is located in a remote area. The palace is fighting for power and profit, and the palace is heavily restricted by Tangzhou County outside the palace, and you can't help yourself, speaking of which, it is not as chic as you.

Now that the matter has come to this point, and the turmoil has risen, it is not something that you and I can calm down if we want to. I am angry and jealous of you, but I cannot forget who I am. ”

Sure enough, a gentleman can deceive him, and this method is easy to use.

Zhou Bei knew that he was not a good person, he was influenced by Qiu Ming at the age of six, and this influence was even greater than this era.

In Daming, he learned social common sense, benevolence, righteousness and morality, skills and experience, but many aspects of learning in his dream were more advanced than this era.

Qiu Ming later joined the army and then accepted special tasks, and the knowledge, experience, and social cognition he learned were more thorough.

After receiving Qiu Ming's physique, and even space, the influence of his thoughts will only be more.

He is not like Qiu Ming, who can do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, but his moral bottom line is lower than that of most Ming people.

Because the Ming Dynasty in this world is the only civilized country, it is high and has no opponents, the people's upward channel is unimpeded, and the powerful cannot be bullied at will, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and it is naturally more peaceful.

Although the royal palace is high, they are also subject to many constraints.

Taking Dongzhou as an example, there are a total of 76 princely mansions, and they are not allowed to participate in anything except the Charity Federation.

Whether it is an official or a royal government, they can do business, but they can only do business locally, and cross-border trade must be handed over to the royal government to operate, so even if it is a bit of a privilege, it can't turn the sky upside down.

And in terms of law, the powerful are also more constrained.

For the same thing, if a civilian violates the law and is sentenced to five years in prison, the family members of the ninth to fourth rank officials will have to sit for an extra half a year, the family members of officials above the fourth rank will have to sit for an extra year, and the clan will have to double it, which is equivalent to two more years.

Because officials and clans enjoy tax reductions, crimes are naturally punished more severely.

If the circumstances are serious, it will even affect the family's tax reduction treatment.

In addition to the state punishment, for the family, if the child violates the law, it affects the reputation of the family, and the tax reduction treatment will be more punishable.

Therefore, in Daming, the cost of breaking the law is higher than that of ordinary people!

This also allowed most of the powerful to restrain their children from an early age and strengthen education.

As for the magnates of the feudal era covering the sky with one hand and wantonly exploiting the common people, it was impossible in the Ming Dynasty.

It's all because of the different power structures.

The separation of powers has led to the fact that either party is independent, not subordinate to each other, and also restricts each other.

Even if it is a prefect, it can't control an ordinary agent, nor can it control a judge, because it is a different system.

And the clan, in addition to status, a little privilege, has no actual power at all, and must be more careful about being a person.

Because with the increase in the number of royal inheritances, the number of princes does not increase, and the county kings do not all have fiefs, and there are many clans staring at the unchanged position.

Sixteen-year-old Zhu Liqing is not an old treacherous and cunning, and Zhou Bei doesn't need to spend too much energy if he wants to deal with him.

The point is that in today's turmoil, they are the protagonists, but they are just pawns.

Therefore, Zhou Bei asked straight to the point: "In your position, what kind of price do you need me to pay?" ”

At this time, Zhu Liqing stopped talking, he let out a long sigh and turned to look into the distance. "I want to beat you up so badly, but both my father and the Council of Elders have put the overall situation in mind.

There are many women, but there is only one of Youwei, and I don't think I will give it to you easily, but I can't seem to resist. ”

"So you're very contradictory...... Zhou Bei observed his expression, and said softly: "Even if I want to fight for Youwei and let you give up Youwei's conditions, you can't put it forward, everything is not under our control, which makes you very aggrieved." ”

"Of course." He turned his head to look at Zhou Bei. "If it were my own thoughts, no matter what your conditions were, I wouldn't give it to you in the end."

Zhou Bei continued to bewitch. "But for the sake of that position, you still hesitated."

"yes. The country and the beauty are always the most difficult balance for men to choose. In particular, the opponent is not equal to me, and I would expect more. ”

It can be seen that Zhu Liqing is a very sober young prince, a little juvenile, but very rational.

Zhou Bei said: "The investment of 400,000 silver coins or other means of input, plus the existing technical authorization you need, this is my greatest sincerity, and it is all I can come up with." ”
