"This official is not hiding it. Today's Jingshi Daily, haven't you read it yet? Now the imperial court has changed the law of the Ming Dynasty and completely forbade people to bind their feet! ”

The officials in the Shuntian Mansion hurriedly opened their mouths to explain.

Unexpectedly, the woman was just full of doubts, but she didn't make any moves, but asked: "I tied my daughter's feet, that is to find a good family for her in the future!" Where is it to hurt her! ”

"You don't understand this, do you... Nowadays, even the emperor does not allow women with small feet to enter the palace again, and your daughter will have small feet in the future. Not only will you not have a good future, but you will also be looked down upon! Maybe you won't be able to get married? ”

The official's words immediately stunned the woman.

Said stupidly: "Really? Even women with bound feet are not allowed to enter the palace? Oops! Oh my boy! You've been sinned! ”

After saying this, he quickly turned around and entered the courtyard.

The official was also clever, and immediately glanced at a few officials around him. When they pushed the door open, they saw a girl with a painful look on her face.

With tears in the corners of his eyes, he couldn't stop churning on the bed.

The officer looked around and saw a tightly wrapped foot churning back and forth, and the pain caused the girl to pass out.

"Child. Child, let's not bind our feet.. No more wrapping! Mother won't wrap your feet anymore! ”

The girl's face was full of pain, and as soon as this sentence entered her ears, it was like a heavenly sound.

Ignoring the pain, he listened to the little girl say, "Ah! Mother, what do you say? Don't you have to bind your feet? You didn't lie to me, did you? ”

"I didn't lie to you.. I kid you not! How could my mother lie to you.. We'll never have to bind our feet again! ”

The official on the side saw that the woman was not obsessed, but immediately untied the footcloth on her feet, and smiled with relief, and said beside her: "Little girl... Your mother didn't lie to you... No one can bind their feet anymore! ”

On the other hand, the newly established Daming Patent Affairs Bureau under the Commerce Bureau of Daming was also the first to be unveiled in Beijing.

The site was also selected on the downtown streets of Daming.

After all, like most modern offices, the Patent Office also needs to face all the people.

A middle-aged man slowly fanned the folding fan in his hand, looked at the family on the side and said, "This Patent Office... What kind of place is it? ”

That guy is also confused... He turned to speak: "Master.. Could it be that it is specifically for people to do business.. Patent.. Exclusively for the benefit of one person! Isn't that the place to do business? ”

As soon as Jia Ding's words fell, the eyes of the gorgeously dressed middle-aged man lit up, and he said: "Doesn't that mean that just like soap, only the soap produced by Zhili is the most profitable, and it can be sold by them!" ”

"If that's the case... Master Ben, I have to go in and have a look! ”

There are not a few people who think the same way as him, after all, before today, the Daming Patent Office has not carried out any publicity to the outside world.

Today, the name is still listed in the Patent Affairs Office under the Bureau of Commerce, which is really not a place that is much concerned in the huge capital.

At this moment, two officials walked out of the Patent Office and hung a huge notice at the door.

I saw that it read: "In order to promote the development of patents and protect the interests of inventors from being harmed, the imperial court will accept the application for plaques of shops with time-honored brands in Beijing and century-old brands in the Ming Dynasty from now on, and other invention patents can also be recognized here... For specific regulations, please refer to tomorrow's "Daming Monthly"! ”

After posting, the two officials stood up with a smile on their faces and explained to the people gathered around: "Daming Patent Affairs Bureau is a new type of bureau established to protect the interests of inventors. ”

The middle-aged man was a little puzzled, and said in the crowd: "What is the purpose of this registered patent?" There are benefits? ”

"Of course! Only by registering a patent can you prove that this thing belongs to you alone, and if someone produces something according to your patent without authorization in the future, it will be severely cracked down by the imperial court! Unless you can get your authorization, that is, you have to be compensated to a certain extent! ”

Everyone still didn't understand it in a fog, but the middle-aged man understood it instantly, and hurriedly beckoned the family next to him and said: "You go to our factory at home, find a few more craftsmen, and bring a new set of kerosene lamps produced by us, sir, I want to register a patent!" ”

The family was also shocked, and said a little nervously: "Master.. Didn't the adult just say. Can I register only if I have invented and created my own invention? We're that.."

No wonder the family is nervous, after all, the kerosene lamp produced by the family is a little different from the kerosene lamp on the market, through a special shell design.

So that the kerosene lamp as a whole consumes less kerosene, and the brightness is not inferior at all.

However, this kerosene lamp was not invented by the middle-aged man, but learned from a craftsman who had fled to Beijing in Liaodong in the early years.

And the craftsman was taken in by this middle-aged man.

Until now, he has been working diligently in his family's workshop, and has never had any other ideas.

"Less nonsense! If I tell you to go, you can go as soon as possible, if it's late... You might just mess it up! Do you want to watch our family property run out? ”

"Yes, yes.. Master, I'll go! ”

After a while, the family brought two kerosene lamps, one large and one small, that looked the same but were different in size.

He turned his head to look at his lord and said, "Master... I've got both! ”

"Good! That's good, if you can apply for a patent for this kerosene lamp, if other workshops want to produce this kerosene lamp in the future... Don't blame me for reporting to the official! ”

After saying that, he strode in from the gate.

As soon as I entered the door, an official greeted me. After all, it is a new type of bureau that has just been established, and many people don't know much about what a patent is.

Not to mention coming here to apply for a patent, after a while...

It's also starting to get to the point where the door is full of birds.

"I don't know this gentleman. Do you want to register a patent? As soon as the official from the Patent Office spoke.

I heard the middle-aged man say, "That's nature... If you come to the Patent Office and do not apply for a patent, then what can you do? Besides, as a businessman, you must also support the imperial decree more! You're right! ”
