Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wang Kuang's guess was correct. Not only would Li Min and the others retaliate, but their method of revenge was also very sinister. It could almost be said to be a drain on the fire. Although the Wang family's early investment in buying the mine would not be lost, even if the Wang family bought the mine  They even organized people to dig out the coal, but future sales all depended on Li Min's face. He could make money if he wanted them to, or lose money if he wanted them to. It could be said that it was completely in Li Min's hands.

    In August of the 10th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, a historical incident occurred that caused the history of the Tang Dynasty to go astray. Duan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, wrote a petition. In view of the good effect of cement patent rights, it not only made the promotion of cement faster and faster  , and it can also protect the rights and interests of cement inventors, so he asked Taizong Li Shimin to promulgate a patent law to protect the rights and interests of those who invent new processes and technologies, so as to encourage the enthusiasm of the Tang Dynasty subjects for invention.

    Although Duan Lun's move aroused opposition from some pedantic people, such as Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining and others, they believed that once the patent law was promulgated, it would only make people indulge in strange and obscene techniques and forget the teachings of sages. Therefore,  Hold a firm opposition attitude.  However, a group of important officials such as Fang Xuanling believed that this method was very good. They had seen the impact of new technologies on Datang from the cement incident, and believed that if Datang could have more cement-like inventions, it would only make Datang more prosperous.  is powerful, so it should be strongly supported.

    In addition to Fang Xuanling and his group, there are two other unexpected groups of people who support the patent law. One is the generals Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji, and the other group is led by Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong.  These two groups of royal family members, who had never expressed any opinions on political affairs, unexpectedly signed a joint letter asking Li Shimin to agree to the enactment of the Patent Law.

    With the support of so many people, and the fact that Li Shimin always attached great importance to craftsmen, he finally agreed to the matter and asked Fang Xuanling and others to write the patent law. Through Fang Yiai, Li Min transferred some of the patents he knew to  The content of the law was conveyed to Fang Xuanling, so that this significant law was officially promulgated half a month later.  The first patent bill on earth has finally come into effect.

    Those who participated in the promulgation of the Patent Law did not realize the importance of this matter. Even Li Min, a time traveler, did not know enough about this matter. He did not know that because of his actions this time, Datang had already embarked on the path of  An unknown fork in the road caused the future history to completely change, and the Tang Dynasty he knew before would never appear again.

    When the Patent Law was promulgated, a new government department was also established, that is, the Patent Department under the Ministry of Industry.  This patent department has a doctor, who is ranked from the fifth rank, and there is also a member, Wai Lang, who is ranked from the sixth rank.

    It is worth mentioning that.  This Patent Department is the original team of the Cement Supervision and Manufacturing Institute. Even the office location has not changed, but the name of the Cement Supervision and Manufacturing Institute has been changed to the Patent Department.  Because except for the personnel outside the Cement Supervision and Manufacturing Institute, no one else had relevant experience in patent matters. Therefore, when the Patent Department was established, the Cement Supervision and Manufacturing Institute also abolished its establishment, and the personnel inside changed their identities and became officials of the Patent Department.  The authority of the Institute of Technology was also transferred to the Patent Department, and Li Yifu was promoted from the seventh-grade Supervisor to the rank of Wailang, the Director of the Patent Department.  However, the doctor in charge of the Patent Department was not Li Min, but another person appointed by Li Shimin. Li Min voluntarily dismissed his post and went back to be his Xiaoyao Prince.

    When the Patent Department was first established, Li Min and others were the first to register a patent. Datang¡¯s patents were different from those of later generations.  The registrant can set the protection period of the patent, but the minimum period is ten years and the maximum period cannot exceed one hundred years. The longer the period, the less royalties can be collected for this patent.

    Li Min registered a patent for fried tea for ten years.  After all, this thing cannot be kept secret forever, and it is also beneficial to promote it. It is good to collect patent fees for ten years.  In addition, perfumes, fireworks, mirrors and other items have a maximum number of years to register.  These things are now considered luxuries, and Li Min does not intend to make them public too early.  The distilled liquor technology was jointly registered in the names of five people including Li Min and Li Xiaogong. After all, Li Min originally paid for it and only invested in the technology, so the patent was considered to be part of the purchase by the four of them, Li Xiaogong, and it was considered shared by the five people.  After getting their consent, the patent was also registered for a hundred years. After all, food is precious now. One of their distilleries has already been impeached by the censor. If the distilled liquor technology is further promoted, it may not be the censor impeached. Even Wei Zheng will.  Play them a book.

    In addition to the above things, Li Min, together with Cheng Huailiang and others, also registered honeycomb briquettes and coking technology in the name of the Carboniferous Industry Association, and the time is also a hundred years ago. These two are their sharp weapons against the Wang family in Taiyuan.  How about a longer time?

    The two things Li Jingheng mentioned before are briquettes and coking technology.  You must know that after the coal is dug out, it must be sold.  With the application of coal in cement plants, more and more people have realized that coal is an excellent fuel, but waterThe ?? factory is still the largest buyer of coal, and now the cement plants are under the control of Li Min's Cement Industry Association, so all cement plants can be asked to ban the coal produced by Wang's. In this way, the coal produced by Wang's in Taiyuan  If you want to sell coal, you can only find another market.

    However, Li Min has now registered patents for both honeycomb coal and coking. This has almost cut off the private market and high-end coking market of Wang's coal. It can be said that after the Taiyuan Wang's coal is dug out, there is almost no way to sell it.  Going out, even if some industries require a small amount of raw coal, it is just a drop in the bucket and cannot play a big role. Therefore, the Wang family's coal coal industry in Taiyuan is destined to be a tragedy.

    "Cheers~" After getting the registration certificate for honeycomb briquettes and coking technology, Li Min was carried to the Dengxian Tower by Cheng Huailiang, Qin Huaiyu and others. Everyone refused to return until they were drunk. After Li Yexu saw Li Min's methods for the first time, he also  I admired him so much that I even greeted Li Min three big bowls of wine and five kings in front of him, which made Li Min's face turn pale with fright.

    Li Min was also very satisfied with the patent law issue this time. He had long wanted to bring about the patent law. However, although he had a noble status, he did not have any political power. He wanted to convince Li Shimin and Li Shimin alone.  It is almost impossible to be an important minister in the court. This time, I finally seized the opportunity. Through the coal mine, I united all the forces that could be united and ran around in person. It was not easy to convince so many people.  People, finally promulgated the patent law.

    But thinking about the price he paid for this, Li Min was also a little tearful. Forget about the others, they were either related to coal mines or cement. As long as he put in some effort, it would not be difficult to convince them, but in the end  The most difficult thing to deal with is the cheap uncle of Duan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Since the patent law has the greatest relationship with the Ministry of Industry, it is most appropriate for Duan Lun to propose it. However, although Duan Lun has a good relationship with Li Min, he does not want him to have a chance.  It was obviously impossible for him to do such a big favor for no reason. In the end, Li Min gritted his teeth and promised to provide low-priced coke to the Ministry of Industry for three years. In addition, he also sold himself to the other party and promised to help the Ministry of Industry improve the current iron and steel smelting.  Duan Lun originally thought Li Min was bragging about his technology, but when Li Min explained the method of pouring steel, Duan Lun was immediately shocked. Although he didn¡¯t know how effective this method was, it sounded better than the current method of frying steel.  His magic power improved a lot, and he remembered Li Min's talent in making weapons, so he finally agreed.

    "Liu Liang, you have given us a sigh of relief this time. The coal mine we can buy is less than half of the Wang family in Taiyuan. I wonder who they will sell it to in the future?" Yan Bei was also happy and even drank.  The little half-catty Wuwang was drunk. Now he was smelling of alcohol and his face was red. It looked like he was almost drunk.

    "Haha~, I heard that the Wang family spent a lot of money to buy these coal mines. This time I want them to pay for it and lose all their money!" Li Jingheng also staggered over, with a smile on his fat face.  He has the look of a villain who is successful.

    The people around them laughed proudly when they heard what the two of them said. Although coal is a good thing, if it can't be sold, it's just a pile of rocks. Moreover, they did it very covertly this time. It is estimated that the Taiyuan Wang family has not yet  Knowing that they have been cheated, Li Min and the others will certainly not publicize it. They will only wait until the Taiyuan Wang family makes another investment to dig out the coal. Then it will be time to make the matter public. Presumably the Taiyuan Wang family will look certain at that time.  Very nice.

    "By the way, Liu Lang, although your Cement Supervisory Institute is gone, the position of the patent department doctor should be yours. Why should it be replaced by the one named Xu?" Just after sending Yan Bei and Li Jingheng away, Li  Jingye squeezed over again and asked Li Min with a smile. The man named Xu in his mouth was Xu Jingzong, the new doctor of the Patent Department. He used to be a member of the Zhongshu Province and specially drafted imperial edicts for Li Shimin, but this time he was transferred  He went to the Patent Department and took the position that should have belonged to Li Min.

    "Oh~, I am also wondering now. I guess someone may have said bad things about me, so my father sent someone from Zhongshushe to replace me." Li Min also said helplessly. He was worried about this.  I can't understand the matter. No matter how you look at it, the position of doctor in the Patent Office should be his, but his emperor's father packaged his cement manufacturing institute and turned it into the Patent Department, but he was the only one who got kicked out.  On the other hand, it's really weird.

    Although Li Min did not become a doctor in the patent department, he was very interested in the newly appointed Xu Jingzong. Xu Jingzong was also a famous person in history. Together with Li Yifu, he was known as Wu Zetian's two biggest thugs and was the one who promoted Wu Zetian to the throne.  the most important person.  What makes Li Min dumbfounded is that now he has hired the two thugs Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu into the Patent Department, and they have also become colleagues. Each of these two people is more cunning than the other, so let them work together to manage the Patent Department.  Li Min was really worried. He wondered if the patent department that he had finally built would be sold by these two traitors?  (To be continued)
