Chapter 1498 Copyright Awareness

East Palace!

"Teacher, teacher!"

"Your Highness, Your Highness, run slowly, don't fall."

Li Hong was running in the corridor with a memorial in his hand. Two little eunuchs were hurriedly protecting each other, and his mouth was trembling with nervousness.

"Teacher—Huh—!"

Li Hong ran to a room and then stopped, his face flushed and he was slightly breathing.

Guo Yu, who was reading a book, saw Li Honglai, put down the book, stood up and bowed, and asked again: "What's the matter with your highness to find a teacher?"

Li Hong first stepped forward and bowed, then said excitedly: "Teacher, my father replied, approved my memorial, and also praised me." His little face was full of pride.

After hearing this, Guo Yu looked calm.

Li Hong immediately smiled and said, "Teacher, are you unhappy?"

Guo Yu asked back, "Your Highness, are you happy?"

Li Hong said nervously: "I am certainly happy when my father praised me."

Guo Yu said: "Does your Highness think that you are already capable of handling government affairs in the DPRK?"

Li Hongdao: "I-I don't think so."

Guo Yu sat upright and said, "A gentleman is calm but not arrogant, and a villain is arrogant but not calm. There are many reasons for this matter to be accomplished. I will not hide it from Your Majesty, and the teacher has not fully understood the reasons. Therefore, Your Highness should not be complacent. You should think about why Shizhong Xu asked His Majesty to submit this memorial? Why did Your Majesty approve this memorial? What is the mystery in this memorial? Why did Shangshu Han suggest doing this? Why did Shizhong and the others agree? It is very knowledgeable in this."

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Your Highness, no one in this world can reach the sky in one step. Even your Highness cannot. You must be down-to-earth and be the right way. Now is not the time for Your Highness to make a decision. Now, when facing the ministers in the court, you should listen more, speak less, and think more."

After hearing this, Li Hong bowed and said, "Thank you for your teachings, the students understand."

Guo Yu nodded with a smile

Everyone expected that Li Zhi approved this memorial. It was not only because of the prince. It was understandable that this was done, but also protected the interests of the literati and increased the management of books by the imperial court. This thing was harmless. There were not many small printing workshops, and they would not suffer too much.

In fact, in history, China was the first to be aware of copyright. It was probably during the Song Dynasty that some literati had already had copyright awareness, but they said that there was no legislation. At that time, just like the current situation, it was accompanied by the emergence of movable type printing, and people had copyright awareness. For example, the way of copying in the past, whether you pirated the copy or not will produce any value. If you copy "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and sell it, you are awesome. The question is how many copies you can copy.

However, this is very important for Han Yi, because copyright is only one of the intellectual property rights. Once everyone has the concept of intellectual property rights, the difficulty of patent law will naturally come naturally. At the same time, Han Yi also feels that the Patent Act will be beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty is now the pinnacle of the world, with national strength, culture and technology first in all aspects. It is neighboring countries that learn from the Tang Dynasty. This intellectual property can help the Tang Dynasty obtain rich profits.

If a backward country does this, it will probably be difficult to develop. When you are not a giant, the best way to make progress is to stand on the shoulders of a giant. When you are a giant, the best way is to rent your shoulders only, but not sell them.

In addition, Li Zhi also stated in the memorial that Han Yi would assist the prince in completing this matter.

Isn’t Han Yi the only one who has to deal with it?

In fact, in the past few days, Han Yi has been planning to complete this historic breakthrough.

After the imperial edict was issued, Han Yi immediately began to act.

The first point is to blur intellectual property rights and temporarily limit intellectual property rights to books and newspapers. Without waiting for the author's consent, printing articles, poems, and other literary works into books and sell them without authorization is illegal and faces a heavy fine, but there is room for nothing.

This is also a typical Korean technique. First, make the big frame and then slowly fill it in.

Secondly, it is about the issue of age. Fifty years after the book writer's death, he no longer has intellectual property rights.

Finally, it was to register a trademark. The imperial court originally said that it would allow the printing house to register, but Han Yi decided in the name of the Ministry of Revenue to allow all merchants to register trademarks.

The reason why he dared to do this is because there is no benefit and there are legitimate reasons. In the past, Chang'an had two cities, and those who did business in the two cities had to register with the municipal office. Now, the workshop industry is emerging, and 80% of the workshops are in the suburbs. Currently, no one is in charge of them there, so trademark registration is necessary.

And Han Yi has made detailed and strict regulations, the required information for registration, and the difference between not registering, one is protected by the law and the other is not protected by the law.

As soon as the news came out, the literati and scholars in Chang'an City were in full bloom. They happily gathered at various restaurants and tea shops in Chang'an to raise their glasses to celebrate.

This even surprised the civil officials such as Xu Jingzong. They did not expect that the literati and scholars would be so happy, as if they were having a festival. After all, no one had raised this question before this. Why did the court issue a decree? You are so happy.

This is why Han Yi waited until the news of the surprise dream came out before holding that meeting.

The book "A Dream of the Garden" is selling well, which has attracted many people's envy and jealousy. If they were told that it was written by Yang Feixue, many people would probably hang themselves. Now the man in white has made another 500 trump card. This is simply anger between man and gods. Many literati are very dissatisfied. Why can A Dream of the Garden make so much money? Her writing style is not as good as mine.

In addition, the last time the official prostitute changed his career, it also stimulated the literati. They were also reflecting on why the official prostitute are better than us in this world. We are also scholars after all, which has a great blow to their self-esteem.

After this news came out, the literati finally "understand" what the problem was, that is, the goods produced by merchants could be sold for money, while the goods produced by literati were stolen and were not protected by the law. They suddenly felt very wronged. At the same time, they were full of hope for the future, and they believed that they would become the darlings of God.

This is why they are so excited and so happy when they hear this news

Lu Family Pharmacy!

"I didn't expect Brother Zheng to be one step ahead of us."

When Wang Xuandao and Cui Jieren came to the Lu family medicine shop in Xicheng City, they found that Zheng Shanxing was already kneeling on the prelude with Lu Shigua and tasting new-style tea.

Cui Jieren smiled and said, "I have said a long time ago that Shanxing is now a smart businessman."

Zheng Shanxing laughed and said, "I hope that as Brother Cui said, I am a shrewd businessman."

Lu Shigua first asked the two of them to sit down and said, "You came here for intellectual property rights, right?"

Wang Xuandao nodded slightly and said, "No matter what the political purpose behind it is, one thing is certain. Intellectual property rights are very beneficial to our gentry, and if we seize this opportunity, we will benefit our Shandong gentry a lot."

Zheng Shanxing smiled and said, "You are talking about the opportunity to be a printing shop."

Wang Xuandao nodded.

Zheng Shanxing said: "I was talking about this matter with Brother Lu just now. This printing house has always been the dominant Fengfeilou family. Moreover, Fengfeilou masters the best technology for printing and monopolizes paper and ink. It is probably very difficult to compete with Fengfeilou."

Cui Jieren said: "I don't read this way. The books published by Feng Feilou are indeed very good, but there are quite a few people who don't like to read them. For example, our elders, their books are only suitable for some young people, and we can target others. And based on my understanding of Han Yi, he doesn't care much about money. He cares about the dominant ones. Since he does this, he will definitely help other printing workshops in printing books. Now the literati and scholars outside are very concerned about this matter. I believe that they trust us Shandong gentry more and we can succeed."

Wang Xuandao nodded and said, "Brother Cui is right. Our Shandong gentry has been defeated by Han Yi several times. One of the main reasons is that he has a printing workshop, and we are talking about it, which is not as good as his Tang Dynasty Daily. Moreover, publishing books, paper and ink are just second. The key lies in your vision. You must know which books can be sold and what books can't be sold. Who can compare with our Shandong gentry in this regard? As long as Han Yi can give us ink and paper, I don't think we will lose to Han Yi."

Lu Shigua nodded and said, "I also think it can be tried. Once we have intellectual property rights, the rules that we gentry used to have nothing to pass on can also be modified appropriately. I always think that books are different from technology, and technology can be kept confidential, but books are for people to read. We hide some scriptures, but they have not been able to prevent the appearance of poor prime ministers like Ma Xianxiang. Although Ma Xianxiang has not read the scriptures of our family, we can only look at the strategies he proposed to govern the country. Moreover, you can look at Han Yi, who spared no effort to promote the Six Sages of the Sages, never hide anything, but encourage everyone to read it."

Cui Jieren and the other three nodded slightly when they heard this.

Zheng Shanxing said, "Then I wonder what you plan to do?"

Cui Jiebian said: "I was about to ask you this, after all, you are a businessman, we are not."

Zheng Shanxing pondered for a moment and said, "I think it can be placed in Shandong Group. In this way, it can enhance the strength of Shandong Group and help the reputation of Shandong Group. The established reputation of Shandong Group can also make it easier for the printing workshop to succeed."
