Mrs. Qiao looked around and did not choose a satisfactory "target", so she had to put her mind away, and spent a while with Ma Yun and the others, and began to worry about Qiao Xuan. Of course she knew why Qiao Xuan was here this time. , But she knows more about Qiao Xuan’s temper. She can’t persuade her anyway. Therefore, Qiao Fu wanted to use her relationship with Diao Chan, and now she has climbed up with Ma Yun. It is estimated that the life of the young and old in the family should be Can it be saved
Suddenly, there was a maid outside the door to report that Liu Xin wanted to stay with Qiao Xuan’s family for a few days to play in Xiangyang. The female relatives asked the third wife and sixth wife to accompany him. He personally took Qiao Xuan to visit the Xiangyang Third Hospital and the training center in Xijiao. Ma Yun and Bian Yu were arranged to play with Qiaofu mother and daughter because they were both pregnant, so they had to put this "burden" on Cai Yan, and let Zhu Rong go with him out of safety. Considering that although the public security in Xiangyang has always been good, it is inevitable that there will be a few young people, and Cai Yan and Mrs. Qiao's mother and daughter are both beautiful, especially the little sisters, they are even more loved, in case someone suddenly becomes evil. Meaning, embarrassment will be a big problem,
Mrs. Qiao’s heart was finally let go, which shows that Liu Xin was not angry because of Qiao Xuan’s rudeness. For the next three days, Qiao Xuan’s family stayed in the city of Xiangyang.
During the day, Cai Yan and Zhu Rong accompanied Mrs. Qiao’s mother and daughter to go shopping and watched an amazing illusion performance. In the evening, Ma Yun hosted a banquet for the three of them at the State Shepherd House. All the dishes were Zhu Qian. It’s much more delicious than the lunch they eat in the best hotel in Xiangyang. There is a saying that if you want to grasp the heart of a man, you must grasp the stomach of a man. In fact, it is also for women. The same, especially for the Qiao sisters who have never tasted the delicacies of the State Mufu, they all want to stay in the State Mufu.
Qiao Xuan has also gained a lot in the past few days, because Liu Xin’s inner house, he can’t go in casually, and the food in the prefecture has always been forbidden to spread, so Qiao Xuan lost the opportunity to taste the delicious food, but his mind He didn’t put it on eating. The academy and medical school opened his eyes. At the research institute, Qiao Xuan took a fancy to the new-style weaving machine and immediately proposed it, hoping to buy one or two back.
After half a year of trial, Ma Jun has now replaced Xiang Lang as the head of the academy. Kong Wen is also convinced by this slightly stuttering teenager, and is willing to give him a start. The knitting machine is Ma Jun’s first. He also intends to promote the invention nationwide, but Liu Xin has never agreed, because although Ma Jun’s weaving machine is exquisite, it is very easy for others to imitate it. This involves the issue of how to protect "intellectual property rights". ,
Of course, people in this era do not have the concept of intellectual property rights, let alone how to protect their inventions and creations, but Liu Xin doesn’t think so. He wants to arouse everyone’s enthusiasm for inventions and creations by protecting intellectual property rights. Lingji is the first product he plans to use to promote intellectual property protection.
Hearing Qiao Xuan's request, Liu Xin pondered and asked: "Except Qiao, you can see the benefits of this weaving machine."
Qiao Xuan laughed and said: "My Qiao family is a large household in Lujiang, and there are also thousands of fertile fields. In addition to grain, there is also some mulberry fields. Therefore, Qiao also knows a little about weaving and silk. Although Qiao did not see this weaving machine. Yes, but the structure is exquisite and it will be easier to operate. As for the other benefits, Joe hadn't noticed it at some point."
Liu Xin nodded, and asked, "Do you only buy one or two to go back enough?"
Qiao Xuan said embarrassedly: "Actually I want to buy two back, take one of them apart, and ask a few craftsmen to imitate them. That's fine."
Liu Xin laughed and said: "Qiao Xuan, Qiao Xuan, they all say that you are a real person, and you will make such a wishful thinking if you don't want to. This new type of weaving machine was invented by Ma Yuanzheng, and the benefits are far more than you can see. There are more, so let Ma Yuanzheng explain to you in a while. However, if you do it like this, Ma Yuanzheng will get no benefit from it. Do you think anyone else is willing to spend the energy to improve the weaving. On the plane,"
Qiao Xuan was taken aback, and quickly said, "What the lord means is that these knitting machines can only be purchased from Ma lord,"
Liu Xin waved his hand and said, “Of course it’s okay to buy from Ma Yuanzheng. However, Liu has an idea to ask Ma Yuanzheng to provide you with drawings. Lingji, I need to pay Ma Yuanzheng a sum of money, Qiao Xuan, do you think this is feasible?"
Qiao Xuan was silent for a moment and said, "As long as the money is not too much, I think everyone should be willing."
Liu Xin thought for a while, and said, "How much money should I pay? Liu said it’s not good. Let’s do this. Anyway, no one has done this kind of thing before, so Liu will be the master. Someone who produces a new-style weaving machine must pay Ma Yuanzheng one or two silvers. Of course, Ma Yuanyuan is receiving this money and must also pay 20% of the tax. Qiao Yuanwai, Ma Yuanzheng, look like this feasible,"
Ma Jun was not good at words. He couldn't put his mouth in when he listened to them just now. At this moment, he saw Liu Xin turning to him and said, "Lord Qi, lord, subordinates, just do a little, meager effort, no Dare to be greedy for money,"
Qiao Xuan also thought about it in his heart and said, "Master Liu, the price of a couple of silver is not small. The key is whether this new type of weaving machine is worth it."
Liu Xin smiled and said, "Ma Yuanzheng, please explain the benefits of this new type of weaving machine to member Qiao."
Speaking of his proud work, Ma Jun stopped stuttering at once, talked about it, and asked a craftsman to demonstrate the operation.
Qiao Xuan listened to Ma Jun’s introduction and watched the demonstration by the craftsmen. He couldn’t help but exclaimed: “This new type of weaving machine is indeed a good thing, worth one or two silvers.”
Liu Xin said to Ma Jun: "Ma Yuanzheng, Liu did this not to take care of you, but to consider that after this method is implemented, many people will spontaneously improve various tools. Think about it, if everyone’s enthusiasm is high, there will be more inventions and creations. Will there be hundreds of new tools born at that time, will it make people’s lives better?"
Before Ma Jun could answer, Qiao Xuan had already clapped his hands and said: "This idea of the adults is so wonderful. No wonder that Xiangyang has been called the number one city in the Central Plains after ten years under the rule of the adults, but everything is increased by one or two silver. , Is it too much,"
Liu Xin laughed and said, "It's not that every invention has to add one or two silvers. It is entirely possible to set different prices according to the value and complexity of these inventions. Moreover, this price is too outrageous and others are not stupid. , Who will buy it? By then, the invention will not become money, and the owner of the invention will naturally only have to reduce the price."
Qiao Xuan said excitedly: "Yes, I'm too thoughtful. I didn't say anything. I bought the design drawings of this new-style weaving machine. For every one produced, I will pay Ma Yuanzheng a couple of silver. ,"
This is probably the earliest patent fee in history. In fact, according to the value of this new type of weaving machine, a couple of silver is too cheap. However, Liu Xin's main purpose is to use private capital to promote the new type of weaving machine. Only a lower price is set. For Ma Jun, his original intention of invention and creation was not to make money, and he did not consider these issues at all.
However, Liu Xin has not promoted the new-style weaving machine. The most important problem is that he did not choose the right "partner". Now that Qiao Xuan is interested in this, Liu Xin of course gave him the task, because of Qiao Xuan’s character, Let Liu Xin feel completely at ease with him, but it is obviously not enough to rely solely on personal virtues to promote new practical inventions. Liu Xin also intends to escort him through the law.
In this way, there is another problem, because in the feudal age of centralized power, the law cannot be formulated by anyone, and it must be promulgated and enforced by the emperor. This also made Liu Xin realize that the matter of emperorship has been increasing. The more urgent,
Qiao Xuan got the "production license" for the new-style weaving machine, and he was more impatient to return to Lujiang, but Liu Xin didn't let him go back. He kept him for another day and took him to the military training center in the western suburbs of Xiangyang.
The western suburbs of Xiangyang is a real military restricted area. There is not only a training center but also a research and development center of the research institute. Without a special token issued by Liu Xin himself, ordinary people will be executed on the spot if they come here. In fact, many people are I am very interested in the mysterious western suburbs of Xiangyang, including Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui, and Pang Degong, who are so-called outsiders. But there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and there are patrol teams constantly walking through. Liu Xin, a master who is so light and outstanding, can't even think about getting in.
Liu Xin did not take Qiao Xuan to the R&D center, but only took him to the training base. Qiao Xuan was also a prefect. In the past, the prefects were governed by the army and dismounted to control the people. They were highly powerful, based on Qiao Xuan’s knowledge. , When I saw the scene of the training base, my mind was condensed.
Today’s training base is more than three times larger than in the past. It has not only perfected the past scenes of cities, camps, and plains, but now has added mountains, jungles, swamps, deserts, and lakes. In addition to the sea, almost everything the Han army can meet. All environments can be simulated here,
Now training at the training base are 60,000 recruits from the Western Regions Corps and the Third Corps soldiers who have just withdrawn from Jiaozhou, as well as some local army soldiers sent from various places for rotation training. A total of 200,000 soldiers are shouting during training. The sound resounded across the sky. Before reaching the training base, Qiao Xuan's heart was surging.
Knowing that Liu Xin had come in person, Wen Xian, commander of the 7th Army Corps and commander-in-chief of the training base, hurriedly greeted him and said, "I will see the lord at the end. I don’t know which aspect of training the lord wants to see today."
Liu Xin waved her hand and said, "This is your site, you are in charge,"
