Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 168 Cracking Down on Trademark Stealers

Shangbao Sicheng Liu Ming came to inspect his shop again today. Ever since he used the exclusive brand of the Royal Industrial Company, Jinyi's money has flowed into his pocket like flowing water.

Liu Ming is very satisfied with his smart behavior, and even looks down on those who only know how to sell directly or follow the example of Royal Industries Company honestly. They also took a "Hengxiang Monopoly" trademark and went to the Ministry of Accounts to spend money. merchants.

In Liu Ming's view, this is stupidity, it would be better for him to use the name of the Royal Industries Company directly.

He even used this to ridicule the boss of "Hengxiang Monopoly" and proudly showed off his unparalleled business skills. He even secretly decided that one day he would return home with [-] yuan in his pocket and scold him all the time. Look at the ignorant father.

He wants to show those people that he is not a prodigal!

"How much money did you get in yesterday?" Liu Ming asked the shopkeeper, and then he opened the account book to check.

However, at this moment, his housekeeper hurriedly ran into the store: "Master, it's not good, it's not good, the people from Wucheng Bingma Division have rushed over."

"What are you afraid of? The people from Wucheng Bingmasi are probably here to arrest other people, and they won't arrest us. Even if he borrows ten courage from him, he won't dare." As soon as Liu Ming finished speaking, he saw a sentence surrounded by people outside the house. The densely packed soldiers of the Wucheng Bingma Division.

Liu Ming couldn't help but feel a little amused, and said to the soldiers of the Wucheng Bingma Division: "I said, did your Lord Patrol Censor go to the wrong place? Doesn't he know what this place is, my son? Identity, doesn't he know it?"

Unexpectedly, at this time, Yin Wangguo of Shuntian Mansion and the Xuncheng Yushi all walked in.

"Oh, Uncle Shi, you are here, please accept my nephew's respect." Liu Ming saw that it was Wang Guo who was in a hurry to come to bow, but Wang Guo ignored him and said seriously: "After investigation, this store Infringe on the trademark rights of the Royal Industries Corporation, and directly take down the owner of this store, Shangbaosi Sicheng!"

Liu Ming was stunned when he heard this, and before he could react, two soldiers rushed in to arrest Liu Ming.

At this time, Liu Ming, who just came to his senses, quickly took a step back and asked, "No, Uncle Shi, what's the matter with you, why are you unreasonable, and our infringement of the trademark of the Royal Industries Company is also non-existent Well, we sell ours, they sell theirs, even if it is true that we have stolen the name "Royal Monopoly", it is not a big crime. What's more, the one next door also uses a "Hengxiang Monopoly" Why don't you catch them?"

"It's registered with the Ministry of Households. It's called a trademark right. Do you understand that it's protected by the imperial court! And you are suspected of infringing on other people's trademark rights and have been ordered to stop modifying the behavior many times, but you don't listen. Severe measures must be taken today!"

As Wang Guo spoke, he shouted loudly: "I have written to the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Liu Ming's official status has been dismissed. Now you can directly take him down and put him in prison!"

At the same time, Wang Guo waved his hand and ordered: "Go in and confiscate all the property in the store, and directly use it as compensation for the loss of the Royal Industrial Company!"

Immediately, countless soldiers rushed in and began to loot all the silver dollars in the store, and moved out some unsold silver mirrors and glass, and smashed other furnishings in the store.

Seeing this, Liu Ming complained endlessly. The profit he had worked so hard for for nearly half a year was wasted like this.

In the end, Liu Ming couldn't help scolding Wang Guo, saying that he took money from himself and his father, but he still didn't make decisions for himself.

In the end, Wang Guo had to let Liu Ming's mouth be gagged.

This trademark infringement case was not considered an earth-shattering event in the Ming Dynasty at this time, but in the eyes of later generations of researchers, this trademark infringement case became the first typical case of trademark infringement disputes in Ming Dynasty , and was written into Zhu Youxiao's memoir.

……

The case of trademark infringement not only made businessmen understand the importance of registered trademarks, but also made people in the capital truly experience the difficulty of Royal Industries.

As a result, the Royal Industries Company became well-known again, and the sales revenue increased substantially again.

This also made Zhu Youxiao once again truly feel the benefits brought by industries such as glass and silver mirror manufacturing, but Zhu Youxiao didn't just want glass as a profitable product.

More often, glass is also a material with a wide range of uses, of course not just for windows.

Glass itself is a kind of anti-corrosion material, and it is transparent and easy to observe, so it is a good experimental tool, such as test tubes, coolers, petri dishes, etc., all need glass as material.

Not only that, with mature glass manufacturing technology, glass can also be processed into necessary tools for scientific research and military affairs such as microscopes and telescopes.

Now the academician of the Royal Academy of Engineering has begun to take charge of the subject of microscope and telescope manufacturing. The leader of the project is Chen Zhang, the eldest son of Chen Manitou. Now Zhu Youxiao has canceled the craftsman registration system. According to Chen Manitou's original intention, he wants to make himself His son and his father-in-law, Liu Ge, who has become an official, asked the teacher to ask about the road of imperial examinations in the future, but Chen Zhang is obviously more interested in scientific research, and now all kinds of skills are getting more and more attention, and Chen Maotou is not objecting.

However, the manufacture of microscopes and telescopes is not easy, and Zhu Youxiao did not expect researchers to manufacture them quickly, but the materials and objects purchased through the system are already there, and he does not believe that these Ming people cannot make them This is imitated.

The applied research of the Royal Academy of Engineering is in full swing, but the basic research of the Royal Academy of Engineering has not fallen behind.

Today, Zhu Youxiao went to the Royal Academy of Sciences after morning.

The Royal Academy of Sciences is close to the Hanlin Academy, and the current Hanlin Academy is almost equivalent to the Academy of Social Sciences. Zhu Youxiao always assigns them some tasks from time to time, such as counting the population of the Ming Dynasty, the total grain output, or the total number of acres of arable land, which makes the Hanlin Academy Few people in the academy have free time to study the Four Books and Five Classics.

But the people of the Royal Academy of Sciences were very free. When Zhu Youxiao arrived, he saw Xu Guangqi watering jasmine flowers in a small field in the courtyard, wearing a bamboo hat and rolling his trouser legs like an old farmer.

On the other hand, Mao Yuanyi sat on the sidelines, and kept adding coal to the iron stove, and this iron stove is a boiler, and the connected pipes were steam pipes designed by Mao Yuanyi according to Zhu Youxiao's suggestion, which were produced after heating. After the water vapor enters the steam pipe, it will directly push the piston and the sliding brake to turn the wheel, thereby generating mechanical power. What Mao Yuanyi is doing now is to create the first steam engine of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Mao Yuanyi has failed several times. Sometimes either the airtightness is not good or the hot water vapor is not enough to push the piston.

If Zhu Youxiao remembered correctly, this should be the fifth experiment conducted by Mao Yuanyi.

Going further inside, there are more scientific research experimenters, some standing in front of a blackboard and writing some mathematical symbols of the Ming Dynasty version in chalk that even Zhu Youxiao couldn't understand, and some holding a ball and rolling it on an incline It was rolling around, and there was also a large pot of liquid that Zhu Youxiao didn't know what was burning with coal.
