Houmen Fenghua: Meet the best evil mother-in-law

Chapter 409 Invention Awards and Patent Fees

Gu Qingling pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "Oh, that's what you said, I remembered... What's the matter, your natal family also opened a new construction team in the capital, and it became popular?"

Mrs. Yao covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed: "It's not just that, my natal family heard me say that this recipe can be used to build a house and pave the floor, and the paved floor is very smooth, so they specially tested it. It is sure Really, I found an opportunity to hand it over to the imperial court."

"That's a great achievement! The imperial court will definitely remember your natal family's kindness, and reward your natal family well." Gu Qingling looked happy, without saying a word, expressing that he wanted to be tainted by Mrs. Yao's natal family, and all the servants in the whole house This month's silver is doubled.

Several close maidservants hurriedly led a room full of people to thank him, and said a few pleasant and auspicious words.

Before the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which was still a bit of a "little conflict", suddenly became harmonious at this moment, it was as if the previous unhappiness had never happened.

Mrs. Yao happily told Gu Qingling that her natal family not only handed over the cement formula to the imperial court, but also suggested to the imperial court to get a "patent fee" to avoid suspicion and not participate in the research and production of cement.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, if anyone wanted to use this prescription, in addition to buying the prescription from the imperial court, he had to pay a "patent fee" to her natal family.

"The patent fee is very low, which means that people who want to tell the world that there are good things that can be handed over to the imperial court, and the imperial court will not take their things for nothing. In addition to a huge 'invention award', they can also get Receive a steady stream of patent fees."

"As long as someone uses their recipe, that person has to pay the patent fee. It's like having a hen that can lay golden eggs, and you don't have to worry about it yourself. How easy it is."

"And it's a good thing for the court if this thing is handed over to the court."

……

Invention award and patent fee, these are what Gu Qingling told Mrs. Yao before. When asking Mrs. Yao's natal family to hand over to the court, don't forget to mention the "invention award" and "patent fee".

The "Invention Award" is actually used to encourage people all over the world to invent more things that benefit the country and the people.

Such as cement.

It looks inconspicuous, but this thing can not only build houses, but also build roads. If it is used well, it is a great achievement that will last forever and benefit the country and the people.

The "patent fee" is also to avoid cutting off people's money and preventing some people from being unwilling to pay it.

If they are smart, they will definitely be able to figure it out, no matter how good the prescription is, it will be useless if they can't keep it.If you can't keep it, then hand it over to the imperial court. As long as you hand it over to the imperial court, do you still have to worry about someone "conspiring to kill you"?

What's more, the imperial court didn't take it for nothing. The imperial court used it for the use of all people in the world. As long as someone uses your prescription, you have to pay a "patent fee".

Even if it's just a small sum of "patent fee", it looks a little small, but it can be used by all people in the world... a trickle, but it can also be collected into a huge fortune.

The matter of cement prescription is too big, it concerns the foundation of Daming, a small Sun family can't handle it at all.

Since you can't carry it, don't carry it, and leave it to the court.By the way, he used the "invention award" and "patent fee" to gain some benefits for himself. Not only did he have the reputation of "creating a precedent in history", but he also created a considerable source of income for the Sun family.

In the long run, kill two birds with one stone.

For the court, what good is it?

The first one is to get a good prescription that benefits the country and the people, which can make great achievements in Ming Dynasty and further consolidate the rule of Emperor Mingguang.

Second, if others want cement recipes, they have to spend money to buy them, which is also a good thing for the imperial treasury.

Emperor Mingguang is not a fool, he can tell with a little calculation that it will cost a lot of money to build roads across the country, but if he sells the prescription to others, let others repair it...

Not only the road has been repaired, but the court can also make a fortune for nothing, so why not do it?
The third is that the Sun family set a precedent in history. If there are similar incidents in the future, the court can handle them according to the "old rules".

Although it is impossible for everyone in the world to learn from the Sun family, there will always be a part of them who will be tempted. At that time, the court is afraid that there will be no good things in their hands?

Even if someone is unwilling to give it, the court also has something to say: I am not just taking it for nothing. It is an "invention award" and a "patent fee".

Once the big hat is buckled, isn't it handled by the imperial court?
These were all discussed by the Sun family with Emperor Mingguang.It can be said that in addition to obtaining a prescription for nothing, Emperor Mingguang also obtained a brand new "thinking mode", which was extremely useful for him to consolidate his imperial power.

Under such circumstances, the Sun family's great contribution is not just a simple "cement recipe".

It was only natural for the Sun family to be reused by Emperor Mingguang.

And this, Gu Qingling already knew.

She knew how great this credit was, and at the same time, she knew how much risk this credit had to take.As I said before, the foundation of the Yao family is too weak, and it is not suitable for carrying too much "credit", so she needs to win over a large number of contacts.

The Sun family is also one of the contacts she has drawn.

This credit seems to be great, and the Sun family also took a great risk.

After all, no one knows whether Emperor Mingguang will adopt this opinion, in case he does not...

Just saying "there is a suspicion of reusing craftsmen" can make the Sun family head fall.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, the ancients said that there are three teachings and nine streams, it is not a joke.

Fortunately, Mr. Sun is also a smart person. When he was talking to Emperor Mingguang, he never touched the word "craftsman" and only talked about prescriptions.He has been in Beijing for many years, and he has mixed with the Qingliu faction, so he has some understanding of Emperor Mingguang's temper, and he knows what he can and cannot touch.

Therefore, this level passed without any danger.

The end result is also good.

Of course, it's not ruled out that "the timing is too good". It just happened that the first princess was pregnant, and the first princess tried the Gu family's "secret recipe for childbirth" before she became pregnant...

All kinds of factors were mixed together, and Emperor Mingguang also wanted to sell the "face" of the Yao family, which had this miraculous effect.

"Is the eldest princess concubine happy?!" Gu Qingling was surprised.

She sent the secret recipe for childbirth to Beijing, but...

Baixiangge's "Health Pill" hasn't been sold yet, has it?
If her daughters-in-law are happy, it is because of the blessing of Lingquan. If the eldest prince and concubine are happy, then it is really pure "luck".

Mrs. Yao said with a smile: "Well, when my father sent the letter, it had already been spread all over the capital. Everyone said that the old matriarch's family's 'secret recipe for childbirth' was good, and it was much more effective than those messy childbirth secret recipes, and it didn't hurt everyone. People who want to ask for children, want to try it out...some people have copied it and want to pass it on to future generations."

"It's such a coincidence..." Gu Qingling said, "The eldest princess concubine is happy, it's her fate, so what's the matter with my natal family's prescription? It's Jinling, so many people use my natal family's prescription. Don’t you see everyone is happy? They are not afraid of being disappointed when they hold this recipe so high.”

"Then what can be done? Who made things so coincidental? Even if the eldest princess is destined to be a mother and child, in everyone's eyes, the eldest princess is only happy if she uses the prescription from the old matriarch's natal family. Anyone who hopes to have more children Such a blessed family, who wouldn’t want to try it? What’s more, the prescription from the old lady’s natal family doesn’t need to eat anything special, and it doesn’t hurt the body. Even if it doesn’t work, it’s okay to try.” Mrs. Yao said, “It’s my natal family’s prescription. None of my relatives can escape the custom."
