Zhao Xu agreed very easily, which shows that although he understood the reason, he still didn't know the stakes involved.

The ancients never paid much attention to technology and never forced it. The ancient way of making money was to recuperate and recuperate. It always focused on distribution, but on production.

He certainly could not have imagined what changes this technological innovation would bring.

This is not to say that Zhao Xu is stupid and does not understand this. In fact, no one except Zhang Fei understands this, including Wang Anshi and others.

Although Wang Anshi's New Deal was somewhat sidelined, the focus was still on financial management, and the tax currency was very much to Wang Anshi's liking.

But in fact, this is the top priority, because the ultimate goal of developing industry and commerce is to promote technological progress, thereby promoting productivity progress, and social wealth will increase.

The Public Security Bureau can play a complementary role in this.

Now that the platform has been set up, it is time to gather strength for this purpose and wait until one day there will be a blowout.

Having said that, if it wasn't very important, Zhang Fei wouldn't be so anxious. He hasn't had a day's rest since then.

Of course, Zhao Xu will not draft this bill, and he will entrust it to Zhang Fei.

For Zhang Fei, this bill was very easy and was drafted quickly.

After Zhao Xu read it, he didn't have any questions, so he handed it directly to the Legislative Council.

The name is even more simple and crude, it’s called the “Incentive Act.”

Since the promulgation of the provisional law, the imperial edict has actually ceased to exist, because the provisional law has included the edict and integrated it into regulations. In other words, if the emperor wants to legislate in the future, it must pass the Legislative Council.

Of course, this is not stated explicitly, and the provisional law does not explicitly repeal the decree. Currently, everyone is still relying on tacit understanding to maintain it.

Fu Bi over there suddenly received such a bill, and he was stunned immediately. The bill handed over by the emperor himself must be of great importance. It turned out that it was to motivate those businessmen and craftsmen. This was not like what the emperor did, killing people.

Chicken with beef knife.

But upon closer inspection, it looked very much like Zhang Fei's words. I asked Sima Guang again and knew that this must be related to Zhang Fei, so I immediately called Zhang Fei.

When he saw Zhang Fei, Fu Bi of course asked him as usual, what have you been inspecting in the past six months.

Zhang Fei explained again rather helplessly.

This is really difficult!

Fu Bi could understand, "Yes! The interim law has just been promulgated not long ago. If we go on inspection in a year or two, it may be more effective."

Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "But I shouldn't be the best candidate."

He is willing to do a good job, but when he comes back, he finds that he still lacks experience.

Fu Bi just smiled and asked: "Yesterday, the government suddenly sent an incentive bill. Does this have something to do with you?"

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I suggested that the government legislate this."

Fu Bi asked: "With such a small bill, do we still have to trouble the officials?"

Zhang Fei said: "This is a matter of reward. Apart from officials, no one is more suitable."

Fu Bi nodded quickly and said, "It makes sense! It makes sense!"

Zhang Fei added: "And this is not a small bill."

Fu Bi immediately said: "I would like to hear the details."

Zhang Fei said: "I had another conversation with Academician Sima before, which was about the dispute between 'the people do not add taxes and the state uses the land' and 'there are only this amount of goods and wealth produced by the heaven and the earth'. Academician Sima combined the current situation

, believes that when it comes to agriculture, he is still firm in his ideas and that’s all.

But in terms of industry and commerce, he believes that his ideas may be wrong."

Having said this, he asked Fu Bi: "I wonder what Mr. Fu thinks?"

Fu Bi thought for a while and said, "What Junshi said is very reasonable!"

Zhang Fei shook his head.

Fu Bi asked: "Don't you think so?"

“I don’t think this is the case in agriculture.”

Zhang Fei said: "The rice production in our dynasty is far greater than that in the Tang Dynasty. What is the explanation for this?"

Fu Bi stroked his beard and said nothing.

Zhang Fei said: "Actually, agriculture and industry and commerce are the same thing. Both can increase more wealth, provided that relevant technologies are developed.

When I was at Qingzhou College, I read some of Ouyang Xianggong's writings about some peony cultivation techniques, and under the research of the college, some of these techniques have been used in other crops and have achieved good results."

Fu Bi said: "So this bill is used to encourage craftsmen to develop technology?"

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Yes."

Fu Bi asked: "But why is the deadline only five years?"

Zhang Fei said: "This is mainly to encourage them to continue to make progress. Five years is enough for them to make a lot of money, but if they want to make more money, they must continue to innovate and not sit back and rest."

Fu Bi nodded slightly and asked again: "In your bill, what was created by the craftsmen belongs to the employer."

Zhang Fei said: "To be precise, when craftsmen perform the tasks assigned by the employer and use the raw materials provided by the employer to innovate, this belongs to the employer."

Fu Bi said: "But will this be unfair to the craftsmen? You must know that it is the craftsmen who really understand the technology, not the businessmen."

Zhang Fei said: "Although craftsmen are mostly masters of technology, the money is provided by businessmen. It is difficult to do it without money. In addition, under normal circumstances, craftsmen are just completing the tasks ordered by their employers. According to my observation

, most craftsmen will not take the initiative to innovate. They will think of solutions only if the businessmen ask them to do so, or the businessmen will lead the whole process.

Of course, if a craftsman was originally engaged in blacksmithing, but he used his personal money and time to invent a new kind of paper, then this belongs to him personally and has nothing to do with his employer.

However, I think craftsmen will not gain anything from this bill, because it will make businessmen pay high prices to hire skilled craftsmen, which will be beneficial to all craftsmen.”

Fu Bi nodded and asked: "What is the authorization in this?"

Zhang Fei said: "This is to allow some people to quickly obtain wealth. Although he has technology, he may not have the capital, so he can choose to license it to other businessmen and share the profits.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are also officials. The creations of most officials are generally not part of their duties, but also belong to extra interests, but they are disdainful of doing business on their own. They can also use them.

This regulation stipulates that you can license your invention to a businessman and obtain the benefits you deserve from it.

But the officials of the Public Works Department are not among them, which is consistent with the relationship between businessmen and craftsmen. Joining a hospital to invent a new drug belongs to the hospital, not to an individual."

Fu Bi nodded slightly and asked: "This bill also mentions that if someone uses the same technology to obtain benefits, those authorized by the incentive law can get 50% of the profits.

If this person relies on his own experience to create the same technology, is it also consistent?"

"conform to."

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "As long as it is determined to be the same technology, then the first person to invent this technology can directly share 50% of the profits from the second person to invent this technology."

Fu Bi asked: "What is the reason for this?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "The principle is motivation. If there is no guarantee, the officials will not be able to take action!"

There is a difference between this incentive bill and the patent law. The patent law requires handing over the technology, but the incentive law does not. The technology is still kept secret, but as long as others use your technology, you will get 50% of the profit, no matter what you want

I learned it through secret learning.

Of course, this share is calculated based on the net profit earned. It will not cause a devastating blow to those who use the same technology, and they will still make money.

However, after five years, this technology will not be protected, but you can continue to keep it secret.

However, both licensing and cooperation require one's own technology to be passed on. Zhang Fei considers the current industrial technology and can only rely on legal protection. It will be very difficult for him to keep the technology from being passed on to others, unless there are some secret recipes that can be kept.

of.

Fu Bi just smiled and said thoughtfully: "I didn't expect that a small incentive would be so complicated if it were to be turned into law."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "This is stipulated by the ancestral law. No matter how big or small the bill is, all bills should be considered thoroughly. Moreover, if you use your brain more when making legislation, you can use less brain when hearing the case in the future. For example, if the rich

The provisional law revised by the public administration has really benefited judicial officials, so that they do not have to worry about complex cases all day long."

Fu Bi chuckled and said, "Don't compliment Lao Chan here. Lao Chan is just presiding over the revision. It's not Lao Chan who really uses his brain."

But you are right, you still have to think it over carefully, I will take a closer look and discuss it with other people before making a decision."

...

Shortly after Zhang Fei left, Wen Yanbo came to the Legislative Council. Of course he knew about this and was also very curious about it because it was a bit unexpected and a bit incredible.

Fu Bi also informed Wen Yanbo of the matter truthfully.

"Just... just to inspire others?"

Wen Yanbo looked slightly surprised.

Fu Bi nodded.

"That's unlikely."

Wen Yanbo was very doubtful and said: "Zhang San tried so hard to ask the officials to issue this edict, but it only stimulates the second industry and commerce. Does the rich man believe such nonsense?"

Even Zhao Xu himself felt embarrassed that his reward would become cheap, so could Wen Yanbo and the others believe it?

There must be something fishy here.

Because in their opinion, this kind of thing is too insignificant and not worth mentioning. It is really just a piece of paper. Wang Anshi accepted the paper as a tribute. Wen Yanbo didn't say anything, so he didn't care much, but Zhang

Fei has made such a big splash, it's hard not to arouse people's suspicions.
