Gu Qingling pretended to suddenly realize: "Oh, that's what you're talking about, I remembered... What's wrong, your family also opened a new construction team in the capital, and it became popular?"
Mrs. Yao covered her mouth with her handkerchief and laughed: "It's not just that. My mother-in-law heard me say that this recipe can be used to build a house and pave the floor. The paved floor is particularly smooth, so they specially tested it. It was confirmed.
Really, I found an opportunity and handed it over to the 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, and without saying a word, she expressed that she wanted to get the favor of Mrs. Yao's natal family, and all the servants in the house
This month’s monthly silver doubles.
Several close maids quickly came forward with a room full of people to thank him and said some pleasant and auspicious words.
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which had been a bit of a "little conflict" before, suddenly became harmonious at this moment, as if the previous unpleasantness had never happened.
Mrs. Yao happily told Gu Qingling that her family not only handed over the cement recipe to the court, but also suggested to the court that they get a "patent fee" to avoid suspicion and not participate in the research and production of cement.
However, throughout the Ming Dynasty, if anyone wanted to use this recipe, in addition to buying a son from the court, they would also have to pay a "patent fee" to her natal family.
"The patent fee is very low, which means that I want to tell people all over 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 in vain. In addition to a huge 'invention prize', they can also get
Receive a steady stream of patent fees.”
"As long as someone uses their recipe, that person has to pay a patent fee. It's equivalent to having a hen that can lay golden eggs. You don't have to worry about it yourself. It saves trouble."
"And if this thing is handed over to the imperial court, it will be a good thing for the imperial court."
…
The invention award and patent fees were all things Gu Qingling had told Mrs. Yao before, asking Mrs. Yao's family not to forget to mention the "invention award" and "patent fees" when submitting them to the court.
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 may look inconspicuous, but this thing can not only build houses, but also roads. If it is put to good use, it will be a great contribution that will last forever and benefit the country and the people.
The "royalty fee" is also to avoid losing people's money and prevent some people from being unwilling to hand it over.
If they are smart, they will definitely be able to figure out that no matter how good the recipe is, it is useless if they can't keep it. If they can't keep it, then leave it to the court. As long as it is handed over to the court, they don't have to worry about someone "scheming to kill someone."
"?
What's more, the imperial court doesn't use it for nothing. It uses it for all people in the world to use. As long as someone uses your recipe, they have to pay a "patent fee."
Even if it's just a small "patent fee", it may seem a little small, but if people all over the world use it... a trickle of money can turn into a huge fortune.
The matter of cement squares is too big and affects the foundation of Ming Dynasty. The small Sun family simply cannot handle it.
Since you can't bear it, don't bear it and leave it to the court. By the way, you can use the "invention award" and "patent fees" to get some benefits for yourself. Not only does it have the reputation of "creating a historical precedent", but it also gives the Sun family
Created a considerable source of income.
In the long run, you kill two birds with one stone.
What are the benefits to the court?
The first one is to get a good recipe that benefits the country and the people, which can greatly promote the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and further consolidate the rule of Emperor Mingguang.
Second, if others want cement cubes, 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 after a little calculation that it will definitely cost a lot of money to build roads across the country. But if he sells the prescription to others and lets others repair it...
Not only would the road be repaired, but the court would also be able to make a fortune for free, so why not?
Third, the Sun family has set a historical precedent. If similar incidents occur in the future, the court can handle them according to "old practices."
Although we can't let everyone in the world imitate the Sun family, there will always be some people who are tempted. Is the court still afraid that there will be no good things in its hands?
Even if someone is unwilling to give it, the court has something to say: It’s not like I’m giving it to you for nothing. It’s an “invention award” and a “patent fee.” After all, you’re still unwilling to hand it over. Are you trying to rebel?
Once the big hat is slapped, isn't it just left to the imperial court to deal with it?
These were all discussed by the Sun family and Emperor Mingguang. It can be said that in addition to getting a prescription for nothing, Emperor Mingguang also got a brand new "thinking model", which was extremely useful for consolidating the imperial power.
In such a situation, the Sun family's great contribution is not just a simple "cement recipe".
It became natural for the Sun family to be favored by Emperor Mingguang.
And this is what Gu Qingling has known for a long time.
She knows how great this credit is, and also knows how much risk this credit carries. As mentioned before, the foundation of the Yao family is too weak, and it is not suitable to bear too much "credit", so she needs to win over
A large number of people.
The Sun family is also one of the connections she has attracted.
This credit seems great, but the Sun family also took great risks.
After all, no one knows whether Emperor Mingguang will adopt this opinion. What if he doesn't adopt it...
Just the sentence "It is suspected of overusing the craftsmen" can make the Sun family's head fall.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, the ancients’ theory of three religions and nine streams is no joke.
Fortunately, Mr. Sun is also a smart man. When he talked to Emperor Mingguang, he never mentioned the word "craftsman" and only talked about Fangzi. He had been in Beijing for many years and mixed with the Qingliu faction, so he had some understanding of Emperor Mingguang's temperament.
He knew more or less what he could touch and what he couldn't touch.
Therefore, this level passed without any danger.
The final result is also good.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this "timing is too good". It happened that the eldest princess was pregnant, and before the eldest princess became pregnant, she tried the Gu family's "secret recipe for childbirth"...
Various factors were mixed together, and Emperor Mingguang also wanted to give the Yao family a "face", which resulted in this miraculous effect.
"The eldest princess is happy?!" Gu Qingling was surprised.
She sent the secret recipe for childbirth to Beijing, but...
Baixiangge’s “health pills” haven’t been sold yet, have they?
If her daughters-in-law are happy, it is with the blessing of Lingquan. If the eldest princess is happy, it is really just "luck".
Mrs. Yao smiled and said: "Well, when my father wrote the letter, it had already spread all over the capital. Everyone said that the old lady's mother's 'secret recipe for childbirth' was better. It was much more effective than those messy secret recipes for childbirth, and it did not hurt.
People who wanted to have children wanted to give it a try...some people copied it and wanted to pass it on to future generations."
"This is such a coincidence..." Gu Qingling said, "The eldest prince's concubine is happy. It's fate. What does my mother's recipe have to do with it? Even in Jinling, so many people use my mother's recipe.
Don’t you see that everyone is happy? They hold this recipe so high and they are not afraid of being disappointed."
"Then what can be done? Who could let things be such a coincidence? Even if the eldest prince's concubine is destined to be mother and son, in everyone's eyes, the eldest prince's concubine is happy because she used the old lady's mother's recipe. Anyone who hopes to have more children
What a blessed family, who wouldn’t want to try it? Besides, the old lady’s recipe doesn’t require eating anything special, and it’s not harmful to the body. Even if it has no effect, there’s no point in trying it.” Mrs. Yao said, “It’s my natal recipe.
