Chapter 62: The First Lighthouse
Yang Yiqing looked at Hua Houwei, who was full of confidence, and just arched his hand: "Wait and see!" ”
Yang Tinghe couldn't help but interject: "Brother Yiqing, what His Highness said is true. This trademark office is the treasury of the silver, but in the afternoon, His Royal Highness paid out of his own pocket..."
"Master Yang, it's just a small thing, it doesn't need to be said so clearly. Hehe, everyone knows who I am, and I believe everyone has heard of my ability. What does a trademark office do? You must still be ignorant, I'll tell you. On the surface, we are just registering a registered trademark for the Shangbang, but in fact, we are the protector of the Shangbang. Hehe, don't say the hypocrisy that the gentleman is ashamed of his words, there is no business gang, how can we circulate the products of the Ming Dynasty? So in the end, we still contribute to the country, and you don't have to doubt the importance of your work! ”
Yang Yiqing nodded: "Your Highness, I don't discriminate against businessmen." However, His Royal Highness said that he would be well-off in January, but I still don't understand it. ”
Hua Houwei smiled slyly: "Lord Yang, let's escort the Shang Gang and charge a small fee, isn't it too much?" ”
Yang Yiqing shook his head: "It's not too much." ”
"It's still true! The cost of production, registration, registration, trademark, public resource occupation, trademark design, urban appearance management, etc. can be charged! ”
A group of officials who did their duty were dumbfounded, and they never dreamed that they had so much power in their hands. Yang Yiqing shook his head: "Isn't that a coincidence?" ”
Hua Houwei smiled: "How can there be a clever name?" Lord Yang, you pick up a charge that you think is the most unreasonable, and I will explain. ”
"Well, the lower officials think that the city's appearance management fee is the most unreasonable." Yang Yiqing was also honest, and immediately said what he thought.
"Alas!" Hua Houwei sighed, and then said: "It is precisely this fee that is the most reasonable. Lord Yang, has this shop defaced the street? ”
"Yes."
"Isn't that right? Since there is defacement, it needs to be cleaned up. But there will always be times when it can't be cleaned, so what should I do? Tear it down and start over! Our city in Daming must be beautified, right? What's the deal with getting the people to pay? These trademarks are made into plaques and small flags, and they have to be managed in a unified manner, so they can't come as they want, right? What if he gets a flagpole that is higher than the Forbidden City? ”
Hehe, the officials below laughed. Yang Yiqing nodded: "What Your Highness said is that I want to be bad." But if we accept this money, who will do it? ”
Hua Houwei stomped his feet: "Lord Yang, isn't there a Ministry of Engineering?" If we give him money, can he still do it? Since you have to do things when you get the money, either the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Departments are not decorations! ”
"Then why are we well-off? Oh, got it, rake! ”
"Well, that's called reasonable spending, okay? You don't have to pay for it? Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, Lu, carriage and horse, which one doesn't need money? In fact, this is not the main place where the money comes from. Lord Yang, everyone, since you have a trademark in your hands, can't you make a well-known trademark of the Ming Dynasty? On the well-known trademark, the businessman can make more money, isn't he full of joy when he pays the money? ”
Depend on! Your Highness insists on asking for it! That's a great idea! Hua Houwei looked around proudly, and continued to enlighten the dark side of their hearts: "There are rich businessmen who are not benevolent, we can remove his trademark when we receive the people's complaints." If someone wants to imitate a well-known trademark, we can sentence him illegally, or cancel his trademark. Well, you can also evaluate the quality of goods every year, set up a stall on Qianmen Street, and publicize the harm of counterfeit and shoddy goods for free. Ladies and gentlemen, you are all top people who are rich and rich, and you can not only do something practical for the people, but also make your purse bulge, isn't that good? Does it conflict with your idea of helping the world? ”
Yang Tinghe praised in his heart, His Royal Highness is as legendary as a genius, look at these officials who were still walking dead just now, now they are alive and well, and they can't wait to go to work every day. Well, how can I teach him in the future!
"Good! Your Highness, a certain Yang Yiqing admires! Alas, to be honest, I'm actually discouraged, Taichang Temple has been doing it for a few years, and I can't say how much credit I have, at least I am conscientious. Why did Jingcha me become a mediocre official? I originally thought that the Trademark Office was a mess, but His Royal Highness dialed this point, and I knew that this Trademark Office turned out to be a broad avenue! If you don't say it, Your Highness, whatever you say, I'll do it! Uh, how much is a month? ”
Hua Houwei looked at Yang Yiqing, who was a little red, and laughed loudly: "It's okay, it should be." Marrying a man and marrying a man to dress and eat, uh, wrong, you have to get money for your work, it's a matter of course! The monthly basic salary is five taels, corresponding to the difficulty and contribution of the work, plus the seniority allowance, there should be seven or eight taels. Well, our trademark office belongs to the self-financing yamen, and this is the number at present, and it will depend on you in the future! ”
Yang Yiqing automatically filtered out what to dress and eat, and asked with a flushed face: "Your Highness, isn't it Lu rice and treasure money?" ”
Hua Houwei shook his head with a smile: "Of course, it's all white silver!" Uh, copper coins too! Oh, there is another thing, the first Ming painting and calligraphy competition is underway, we can find the unsuccessful works, screen them, get a few passable talents, and help us design the trademark. This Lord Yang, can you do this matter? ”
"No problem! There are a lot of pearls left in the sea, this thing is a merit, and I can't ask for it. Oh, how does this trademark work? If you can't come to the door, we don't know anything! ”
"Oh? Lord Yang, it's very fast to enter the role! Good! It seems that you must be the kind of honest person who has been wronged. Come, I'm ready. Look, this is the logo I asked my dad to draw! Hua Houwei took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Yang Yiqing.
Yang Yiqing took the scroll and didn't open it immediately. Instead, his eyes were red and he bowed to Huahou Wei: "Your Highness, the lower officials don't know what to say!" Your Highness, I..."
Hua Houwei patted Yang Yiqing's shoulder sympathetically: "Lord Yang, mourn." Uh, that's wrong. It doesn't have to be this way! Ladies and gentlemen, you are all capable people at various yamen, and you are nothing more than not good at expressing yourself, and you are not willing to pull down your face to run the relationship. Actually, my dad knows it! ”
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused. Hua Houwei nodded and continued: "It's not that my father wants to depose you, but he wants you people who really do things not to be defiled by officialdom. Alas, the Ming Dynasty has been founded for a hundred years, and there are many drawbacks accumulated, some of which even my father is helpless. So you should understand how much hope my dad had in the Trademark Office. But don't say it, it's enough to be squeezed out once, and don't leak the news before the Trademark Office is hot. It's you who won't suffer! ”
