Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 233 New Law

Zhang Tingyu said, "Fourth Lord, there are just a few vacancies in the household department, shall we...?"

Zhang Tingyu spoke cryptically, but Yinzhen's eyes lit up, as if he was very interested in the concept of this patent.

He nodded and said: "Tingyu, go back and gather the ministers of the law all night to discuss together, and make sure to systematically plan for me the issues related to patents in the shortest possible time. Legislation is more urgent than the prophetic law!"

Zhang Tingyu nodded yes, Yinzhen turned around and said to Xue Yi: "A businessman should have many secret recipes or crafts in his hands, so please go back and tell your business friends, asking them to prepare some secret recipes or ideas." Once this law is established, they will be asked to go to the household department to register as soon as possible, and the benefits will continue to flow."

In the early years of Kangxi, the treasury was really empty, and the silver in the treasury was only a few million taels a year.Under this premise, Lord Kangxi still faces many difficulties.In the north there were rebellions from various ministries of Russia and Zhungeer, in the interior there were rebellious ministers Aobai, in the southeast the remnants of the Zheng family rebelled, in the southeast San Francisco was king, and in the northwest the Dalai Panchen Lama was really worrying.

So many embarrassing things can all be resolved by Lord Kangxi one by one. This is inseparable from the wisdom and martial arts of Lord Kangxi, but each of them really costs a lot of money.

Therefore, during the Kangxi period, after many major events such as the eradication of Obai, the pacification of San Francisco, the recovery of Taiwan, the decisive battle against Yaksa, the permanent garrison of HLJ, the three conquests of Galdan, and the six patrols of the river defense, the treasury only managed to support it. Some ministers donated to barely survive.

However, Lord Kangxi also advocated benevolent government. He had no money to spend and wanted to be exempted from taxes.After all, the world is at peace, and it is necessary to repair palaces, build mausoleums, build summer resorts, etc., all of which are spent.

The civil servants and generals who followed Lord Kangxi in the southern and northern wars earned a lot of money, but the wealth in the treasury that was exchanged for the wars over the years was almost spent by Lord Kangxi.There is no way, he is the emperor and the head of the largest family, and the family needs to spend a lot of money.I'm afraid he is also a master who can't save money.

Yinzhen knew that Lord Kangxi was also secretly worried about the treasury. Although the current dynasty could be safe, the next king who took over Lord Kangxi's dragon chair might not have much money in his hands.

The implementation of this law called patent can protect the interests of businessmen, show goodwill to a large group of businessmen, and buy people's hearts. There are a lot of benefits in taking over the management for yourself, so why not do it?
The more Yinzhen thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible, and he couldn't help feeling relieved.But after the predicament in front of him was solved, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.On weekdays, Lao Jiu would only hang out with those foreign missionaries, either learning various foreign languages ​​or making models of cannons, or making some useless gizmos, so although Lao Jiu is also a fan of Ba Ye, Yinzhen Never took him seriously.

But this time, the incident was caused by Lao Jiu. Although it did not affect his plan to seize the heir apparent, the fortune he managed to get was almost ruined by Lao Jiu. It is impossible for Yinzhen not to be angry.He is really a dog that can bite and doesn't bark. He usually looks irritable and childish, but this time it made Yinzhen feel as disgusted as if he ate a fly.

Yinzhen stood quietly for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, he just let the people behind him discuss the matter of the new law, but he didn't listen to a word.

three days later.

The officials of the Ministry of Households proposed to Emperor Kangxi about the establishment and application of the patent law in the court hall, because the amount of money paid to the court is not small, and it has practical benefits for merchants who have prescriptions in their hands, and it can create a brand effect. , to protect some ancestral ancient prescriptions, which aroused great concern of Kangxi Lord.

After retiring from the court, the officials of the household department gave Lord Kangxi a complete copy that had been sorted out. After reading it, Lord Kangxi quickly agreed and appointed the fourth elder brother Yinzhen to be in charge of the matter, and assist the household department to try out this method in the capital.

It doesn't matter if this is a trial run, the first one to file with the Ministry of Revenue is Fuying Restaurant.Whether it is the menu, the decoration, or even the entertainment items to be launched in the future, Fuying Restaurant has been carefully recorded one by one. However, the customer opposite Fuying Restaurant is like a cloud, and it is only a month after its opening. Shutdown dilemma.

The chubby shopkeeper from Wenzhou found Shen Wei, but Shen Wei was busy with the decoration of Fuying Restaurant and didn't have time to talk to him.Later, I really couldn't help this person's soft and hard talk, so I sat down and chatted in a teahouse not far from the construction site.

"Boss Shen, aren't you too rude? Why should I give you money for opening a restaurant?"

Shen Wei looked at the cheeks of the fat shopkeeper. After talking too much, the flesh on the cheeks trembled twice, it was so greasy to a terrible degree.

Shopkeeper Shen Da spread his hands: "This is at the foot of the emperor, do you think you are still in Wenzhou? You must follow the king's law in everything you do. The new law issued by the court stipulates that you have no patents. Patent royalties, what can I do?"

"But... but my restaurant has just opened and some new laws have been introduced. It is obvious that you are behind the scenes and deliberately prevent me from opening the restaurant!"

"My shopkeeper, you have to rely on evidence for what you say. I, Shen Wei, am a mere merchant. Although I look a little bit angry, I don't have the ability to influence the court to decide whether to make laws. I just care about the new policies of the Ministry of Households all the time. It’s hard to wait for a regulation that will allow me to take advantage of it. Why don’t I declare it as soon as possible, and wait for the scoundrels to plagiarize endlessly? Then I don’t want to do business anymore!”

"You...don't bully people too much! They all open restaurants, why can't I open them if you can? You have the ability! Do you want money? Tell me, how much do you want?!"

Shen Wei looked at him, the white fat man turned into a red fat man because of his emotional agitation, he looked like a walking peanut, the kind that was raw and unpeeled.

Shen Wei was too lazy to waste words with him: "Come on, no matter how much money you give me, I won't take it. Want to do business with the patent of my Fuying Restaurant? You don't even want to take a picture of it, let's take a look at it. Not worthy? Here, see, my restaurant is being refurbished, and even the two shops next to it are under my name, and new entertainment items will be added when it reopens. Do you know what billiards are? What about recreational chess? Do you know what board games are? All right, stop staring at me. I told you that I have nothing to talk to you. You insist on wasting my time. I said fat man, As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake, so you should go back to your hometown of Wenzhou!"
