Tang Ping was a little choked all of a sudden, and could only say step by step:

"So if a person has a technology that is not yet mature and cannot be used and promoted, he can study it or not. But there was no benefit to him in researching, so he simply gave up, does Master Duan think this is possible?"

It was the first time that Duan Lun had someone discuss this issue with him, and after thinking about it, he nodded, admitting that there was indeed such a possibility.

Although he has a noble character, as Tang Ping said, many people still have a selfish side, and if there is no benefit, it is normal for people not to study.

"yes, so if we can give everyone who provides new technology a certain reward, then will many people with ideas invent this technology for this reward?"

Tang Ping continued to guide Duan Lun, causing Duan Lun to fall into contemplation again.

Duan Lun thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Is this how those drawings that Lord Tang gave us?"

Tang Ping didn't expect him to ask such a question, but he still nodded and said, "That's right, there are many policies to encourage new inventions in our place, as long as you can invent useful inventions that benefit the people, you can make a fortune."

In fact, this is already a kind of impact on values, and in any case, the egoism of modern society is definitely more serious.

Duan Lun had actually been thinking about why Tang Ping was able to come up with so many technologies that he had never thought of, and many things they could make, but no one had ever thought about it.

It's like a waterwheel, it's like a weaving machine, they've copied a lot, but no one has ever thought of doing it before Tang Ping gave him the drawings.

Now he seemed to know the answer, and said hesitantly: "That is to say, if we give a certain reward to the Ministry of Industry like Xia Langzhong, there will only be more and more inventions like that in the future?"

"That's right!" Tang Ping nodded and said, "And it's not just in the Ministry of Industry, this kind of thing should be extended to the entire people. In fact, the government can issue a decree that whoever invents something new can report it to the government, and once the government recognizes his invention, it becomes his patent."

"In the future, whoever wants to use such technology will have to be given a small fee, so that the inventor will be able to do so

I will be more motivated."

After talking for so long, Tang Ping finally threw out the concept of the patent: "For those who secretly use other people's technology but are unwilling to pay this fee, once they are discovered, they will be severely punished by the government!"

"Yes...... Doesn't that increase the burden on users?"

"Of course not!" Tang Ping explained, "It's like the Tang plough I originally made for you, the efficiency has at least doubled, right? But the seller of the Tang plough needs to give me two cents for the patent fee, and this fee can be added to the selling price, that is, the selling price will be increased by two cents."

"That is to say, if you give two pennies more for the same plough as before the improvement, but the efficiency is doubled, then the buyer is still the beneficiary. And as an inventor, I can earn two cents from each tang plow, which is still a lot of money after a small amount of money, so I am also the one who benefits, and I will be more interested in inventing other agricultural tools."

"In this way, a virtuous circle can be formed, maybe the plough that the people buy in the future has a patent, and it will cost ten more dollars, but the efficiency can be improved several times, so it is not a loss, right?"

Tang Ping talked for a long time, his mouth was a little dry, he took a sip of tea, and heard Duan Lun ask, "So Lord Tang wants to collect Tang Li's patent fee?"

"Poof......" Tang Ping sprayed directly, wiped his mouth with a hand towel and said embarrassedly: "Lord Duan, I just used it as an analogy, I said at that time that it was dedicated to the imperial court, of course I won't take your money. But if the law on patents that I said is passed, I will definitely collect money in the future."

Duan Lun nodded: "I still know the story of Zigong's ransom and Zilu's cow."

Today's Tang Ping's words had too great an impact on him, not only in terms of values, but also in terms of opening a new door for him.

"Then what about the rewards that Lord Tang just said? For example, Xia Qing's invention."

Xia Qing is Xia Langzhong, he just pointed his ears and heard Tang Ping say that he wanted to reward himself, but the two of them talked about it for a long time, and now they finally talked about it, and they stopped excitedly and looked at the two directly.

In fact, it wasn't just him, everyone stopped eating and drinking at this time, and quietly looked at Duan Lun and Tang Ping

Person.

Duan Lun sighed in his heart, looking at everyone's reactions, he knew that Tang Ping was right, and now these subordinates are actually looking forward to a reward in their hearts?

Tang Ping thought for a while and said, "Like Xia Langzhong, after the government uses his technology, since it can increase the efficiency of building a city by two percent, then it means that at least the labor cost has been saved by two percent, right?" Xia Langzhong was promoted because of this, so let's convert this cost into cash and give him one percent!"

Per cent? Xia Langzhong was slightly stunned, and then calculated in his heart, if a new city is completely built, the labor cost is not more than 10,000 yuan, then he can be rewarded with a hundred!

And how many city walls are to be built every year in the entire Tang Dynasty?

After thinking about it in his heart, he was standing with the cup, but suddenly felt that his feet were small and weak, and he sat on the ground with a snap.

This is...... I'm going to send it!

As a result, before his excitement was over, he heard Duan Lun ask, "If you have to give it if you haven't built a city, what if Xia Qing dies?"

As soon as this sentence came out, Xia Langzhong felt a chill down his spine, and looked at Duan Lun with a sad face, this Shangshu Lord has always been thrifty, shouldn't he be looking for a chance to click himself in order to save money?

"Such a patent, of course, must have a term of interest, which can be years, 30 years or 20 years, during which time the inventor can continue to collect this fee if it is not incurred."

Duan Lun nodded, he didn't expect that Tang Ping's plan had already taken all aspects into account.

"In that case, the old man will go back and write to His Majesty, and see if there is a charter!"

As soon as Duan Lun's words fell, the other quiet Ministry officials cheered.

Although they don't have the idea of being an official for thousands of miles just for money, as long as they are normal people, few will feel that money bites, if they can earn more through formal channels and improve the living conditions of themselves and their families, no one will refuse whether it is modern or Datang.

The reaction of these people also proved to Duan Lun once again the correctness of the patent system proposed by Tang Ping.
