Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

"Liu Min, a grassroots citizen, sued Chen Liaoyuan of Yangquan Restaurant in Hangzhou, Jiangnan, Yu Jianjun of Suzhou Tianyi Restaurant, and 23 other people for infringing the lotus leaf chicken patent applied for by Yuelai Restaurant. I hope that the adults will make the decision for the small ones and recover the losses." Liu Min said, holding the documents he had prepared high above his head.

Seeing this, the officer on the side stepped forward to take the document, and then respectfully handed it to Zhao Dongying, the chief officer of the Patent Office who was sitting at the top.

Patent infringement? !

Zhao Dongying reached out and took it with a solemn expression.

Since the establishment of the Patent Office, this is the first time that it has received a patent dispute case.

No one has experience.

There is no one who filed the lawsuit, and there is no one who tried the case.

Because of this, Zhao Dongying takes matters so seriously.

What he wants to try is the first patent dispute case in human history since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. No, to be precise, it is the first patent dispute case in human history.

The moment Zhao Dongying took the petition, he suddenly realized that what he was going to do next would probably go down in history.

Yangzhou, Shenhou Mansion.

Yang Xian looked at the pencil in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

"Well done."

After receiving Yang Xian's affirmation, Shen Cheng, who was standing in front of him slightly uneasy, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Xian handed over the project of subsequent pencil improvement to Shen Cheng. He only made one suggestion during the whole process. Although Yang Xian had already solved the most critical problem of pen core, the final finished product was basically the same as the pencils of later generations. Yang Xian is still very satisfied.

Nowadays, the diameter of the graphite strips in pencils is almost the most suitable size for writing, about 2 mm.

Although this may seem ordinary, it's nothing, but in order to get this result, how many experiments have to be done during the period.

Behind every successful product is the hard work and sweat of countless people.

After finishing the pencil, Yang Xian prepared to go to the capital.

This time in Beijing, Yang Xian had a total of three things to do.

The first is to go to the palace to donate pencils and promote them throughout the country.

For the next step in the national education plan, pencils must first be popularized.

With pencils, children can go to school and learn to write, which will greatly reduce the cost of learning. Even though it is just a small pencil, it is a real event that benefits the country and the people.

The second thing is to be invited to the Wei Guogong Mansion, which is considered to be a physical review for our Ming Dynasty military god Xu Da.

The last thing Yang Xian did on the way was to go to the patent office and get the pencil patent application completed.

The next day, Yang Xian briefly explained to the people below, and then went to the capital with the pencil.

Zhu Biao did not expect that Yang Xian would make the finished pencil so quickly, and immediately took Yang Xian to see Zhu Yuanzhang.

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

After Yang Xian's simple explanation and demonstration, Zhu Yuanzhang tried to pick up the sharpened pencil and wrote a few words, and found that it was surprisingly easy to use.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not as educated and literate as Zhu Biao since he was a child. He herded cattle, worked as a monk, begged, and then joined the Red Scarf Army and began to fight on the battlefield.

Zhu Yuanzhang truly accepted systematic learning when he became an adult.

Therefore, many people in later generations will have a preconceived prejudice against Lao Zhu, thinking that Lao Zhu's cultural level must not be good. This is the same as many people’s impression of Zhang Fei.

In fact, both Zhang Fei and Lao Zhu are good at writing.

Not to mention that in the process of conquering the country, Zhu Yuanzhang was already studying seriously.

Even after he ascended the throne, Lao Zhu was not greedy for pleasure. He knew that the king of a country should not only be brave and resourceful, but also strengthen his literary literacy. He began to read widely, practice calligraphy diligently, and seek advice from Song Lian, Li Shanchang and others to strengthen his literary literacy. Literary literacy and good calligraphy skills.

In later generations, many authentic works of Zhu Yuanzhang were exhibited in the Forbidden City, including his family letter to his brother-in-law Li Zhen, "A Scroll to the Prince-in-law Li Zhen," and the postscript after the great painter Li Gonglin of the Song Dynasty's "Linwei Yan Mu Fang Tu" and so on. These works can be It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang's calligraphy combines the brushwork characteristics of Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan. The stipples are vigorous, vigorous and solid, and the fonts are dignified and steady, slightly sideways, but not dull and flat.

In particular, the running script he is best at combines the broad and broad "Yan Ti" and the "Liu" character that penetrates the bones. The font is straight and comfortable, the square folds are strong, and the pen is clumsy and simple, like a spear and a halberd, with an imperial touch. The majestic and majestic images of Lao Zhu will be completely corrected after reading these works.

And because Zhu Yuanzhang learned calligraphy halfway, he was more receptive to pencils.

I believe that given time, he will also be able to develop good-looking calligraphy.

"This is a good deal."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt as if he had found a treasure and praised: "The advantages of being easy to carry and write are enough to promote it throughout the world."

Compared with brushes that require ink, pencils have great advantages.

For Yang Xian, this sentence is enough.

After coming out of the palace.

Yang Xian went to the Duke of Wei's house. Duke Wei's body had fully recovered and was even better than before.

"I heard that Brother Yang designed a brand new warship not long ago." Xu Da put on his clothes again, looked at Yang Xian and asked with a smile.

Yang Xian said: "It seems that Brother Xu can't wait to go to the battlefield."

After the previous life-saving incident, Xu Da and Yang Xian's relationship is now so close that they call themselves brothers.

"Yes, it is indeed a brand new warship. It will definitely surprise you when the time comes." Yang Xian smiled.

"What does Brother Xu think of Japan?"

Faced with Yang Xian's question, Xu Da thought about it carefully before replying: "It is not difficult to conquer Japan, but whether it is worth doing is another matter."

"Japan's land area is not small. Let's not talk about the price we need to pay to completely defeat it. Later management will also be a huge problem."

"After all, our Ming Dynasty and Japan are separated by the sea. Unlike the Mobei Grassland, we can let our people go directly. It was not realistic for a large number of Ming people to go, but if too few people go, in case of any rebellion, the news It would be bad if we can't send it back to Ming Dynasty in the first time. Therefore, the best choice for Ming Dynasty right now is to take ownership of those silver mines."

Yang Xian was silent for a moment and then said: "The Japanese rule the Japanese."

I have to say that the issues Xu Da is considering are indeed reasonable.

After defeating it, you still need someone to manage it.

Japan is really not a small country, and there is also the language barrier to consider.

Considering the current situation, supporting a puppet government and engaging in Japanese governance by Japanese people would be excessive at first.

When the steam age comes in full force, you can directly colonize it, and then use it as a fiefdom for a certain prince. (End of chapter)
