Han Yi was not kidding. He took the trademark back and asked Sangmu to use the trademark in full. In fact, with his knowledge, he could do better, but he liked this trademark because he lived in the contemporary world.

Compared to many things, this incident made him feel even more gratified. In such a short time, someone could keenly capture the business opportunities and put them into practice, which fully demonstrates that the business wisdom of the Chinese nation has been opened. As he said to Li Hong, a truly powerful country can meet all needs in a very short time. If this cannot be met, then it cannot be met. What else can this country talk about strength?

With the launch of a brand new trademark in Fengfeilou, the intellectual property movement has also pushed to the peak.

Merchants began to conceive their own trademarks, either asked someone to design them, or designed them by themselves. From the initial anxiety to the current excitement, it was so exciting when they imagined that they could see products with their own trademarks all over the country.

The Ministry of Revenue has also ushered in the busiest period of this year. Because of the trademark registration, the trademark is just a reason, and there are too many contents to be reviewed. Moreover, compared to the Guanzhong Group and Shandong Group registration, the people behind the scenes came to the front stage this time. This transformation is very meaningful. The reason why these people behind the scenes refused to come forward was that they thought that the merchants were humiliating and were aristocrats, and they were too embarrassed to come forward. But in just a few years, their thoughts have changed a lot, because the power of merchants is gradually becoming stronger and has won the reputation of the people. Because merchants have brought jobs, there are too many people without land in Chang'an. They are very grateful to merchants, including women.

Of course, it is all young people who come forward, and the older generation cannot come forward. They just relaxed a little and allowed their children and grandchildren to do business. The nobles also need money. Merchants make so much money, but they don’t use resources. Isn’t this a fool?

Han Yi also canceled the holiday for everyone in the Ministry of Revenue. The entire Ministry of Revenue went all out and invited some ninth-rank academicians from the Sixth Academy of Sages to help. Of course, they were just what some clerks should do, which made many candidates who passed the imperial examination very depressed. Ninth-rank academicians were so happy and got the opportunity to train, while they were still waiting for the vacancies.

In fact, these ninth-rank academicians were lucky and caught a good opportunity. Now the industry and commerce are developing too fast and too fast. If it is not standardized now, it will be even more difficult to standardize in the future. In fact, this is also to lay a solid foundation for the next outbreak of industry and commerce.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, all five pickled vegetables workshops were selected, but none of them ate solo, they all cooperated with each other, including Xiaopang, because they had to buy workshops, which cost a lot of money. It’s not that they can’t afford it. However, the industry has not yet developed, and merchants dare not take the risk of investing too much money and joining other people, so they can reduce some pressure. Moreover, if, as Han Yi said at the beginning, even if they are united, the profit will not be low.

In addition, Chang'an folks also established two major printing workshops. The first is the establishment of the Shandong Group headed by Cui, Lu, Zheng and Wang, and the second is the establishment of the Guanzhong nobles headed by Wei, Pei, Liu and Xue. The difference is that the Shandong Group is the transportation Shandong Group, but it only established a sub-group under its jurisdiction. The Guanzhong Group did not participate because the Yuan family did not have much interest in this industry. The Yuan family seeking benefits is really a bit indifferent to the cultural influence. They are unwilling to show off. They are the leading bosses of the Guanzhong Group. If they do not participate, the other members of the Guanzhong Group will naturally give up or establish with others.

As soon as the news came out, the rest of the people who had their own ideas immediately gave up the idea. So far, there are only three companies outside Fengfei Tower.

The reason is very simple. The scholars and officials are all from these families and have such high reputations. In the future, the first choice for publishing books is definitely these two. They are simply a national inspection-free product and are trustworthy. There is also a Fengfei Tower there, and there is no benefit to squeeze in. It is better to invest money in other aspects. The profits of this printing workshop are slow to return and have a long time. In fact, only the nobles can do it, because publishing books requires technology and requires vision. Without vision, you will lose as much as you pay.

It means that the printing industry will be monopolized by these three companies. In the future, the term pirated version will definitely pass away in China, because the prestige of the three companies combined is unprecedented and its strength is also very strong. Whoever dares to pirate their books is seeking death. Moreover, their reputation can quickly popularize the idea of ​​knowledge products. When people have this idea, the possibility of pirated version will only decrease and less.

Because the Chinese nation still pays great attention to this etiquette and human ethics, Confucianism has laid a very good foundation in this regard, and there are still basic moral values. If the court, nobles, and scholars all think that a certain behavior is shameful, then the people will not do this. This is actually the same as the Three Obediences and Four Virtues.

On the day they registered, they signed a contract for ink and paper supply with Feng Feilou. Han Yi was very pleased with this and gave them a very low price, because from Han Yi's interests, he really doesn't like how much money can be made in printing books. Intellectual property is what he values ​​the most. The three of them monopolize the printing industry and can popularize intellectual property very quickly.

However, this was unexpected by the ministers in the court. You should know that the court has always attached great importance to public opinion. Even if it controls public opinion like the Qing Dynasty, it is also a kind of importance. How could the court not pay attention to this printing house?

Political Affairs Hall.

Wei Siqian, Du Zhenglun, Lu Chengqing, Han Yi, Xu Jingzong, and Li Yi's mansion several ministers were asked to sit in it.

Xu Jingzong said: "I'm asking you to come today. I want to discuss with you something. I wonder if I can open a printing workshop in the name of the court."

Lu Chengqing frowned and asked, "I wonder why Shizhong Xu did this?"

Xu Jingzong said: "This was proposed by the Grand Secretary of Hongwenguan. This printing workshop can publish articles, books, etc. for officials in the court. Moreover, I have always believed that the court should have a newspaper similar to the Tang Dynasty Daily for official purposes so that the people can know some of the court's policies in a timely manner, rather than using the Tang Dynasty Daily to speak out."

Han Yi frowned slightly when he heard this. Xu Jingzong would not mention it earlier or later. But at this time, there was only one reason for it. It was because the Shandong Group and the Guanzhong nobles were involved in the printing workshop, and he was unwilling to continue to dominate public opinion, so he hoped to use the court to suppress these two parties.

After hearing this, Lu Chengqing shook his head and said, "I don't agree with doing this. This is a business. If the court wants to do this, it is to compete with the people for profit. This will destroy the Tang Dynasty's policies."

Xu Jingzong said: "Shu Lu is an exaggeration. It's just a printing shop. I have never thought of making a profit from it. I just think that the court should have a printing shop."

Lu Chengqing said: "This is not a question of how much. Once you open this mouthful, there will be wine workshops, salt workshops, etc. in the future."

Xu Jingzong was displeased when he heard this and said, "Shu Lu, I know that you Shandong gentry just registered a printing workshop."

Before Xu Jingzong finished speaking, Lu Chengqing said: "If Xu Zhongshu said this, I would rather let our Lu family withdraw from this printing house than to compete for profit with the people. Emperor Taizong mentioned at the beginning that the country should follow the idea of ​​hiding wealth among the people. The Sui Dynasty court was strong, but the people had no money. Everyone has seen that the stability of a country is based on the stability of the people. If the people have enough food and clothing, the country will naturally be stable, the national treasury is full, and the people are displaced, and the country will be destroyed."

This is his political philosophy and the traditional Confucian thought.

Xu Jingzong knew that he was fighting for him because this was the mainstream idea of ​​the court today. The most interesting point in Chinese history was that he would definitely learn from the lessons of the demise of the previous dynasty. The Sui Dynasty was quite rich. The Tang Dynasty was able to survive mainly to inherit the wealth of the Sui Dynasty. In the early years of Zhenguan, the people were so poor that they could not afford taxes. Therefore, Xu Jingzong asked the rest of the people: "What do you think?"

Of course Wei Siqian was on Lu Chengqing's side, and Li Yifu was on Xu Jingzong's side. Du Zhenglun remained neutral because Du Zhenglun was the Secretariat. If the court did this, it would definitely expand the influence of the three provinces, which was also very beneficial to him. But at the same time, he did not want to stand with Li Yifu, so he remained neutral.

Therefore, everyone's eyes are naturally focused on Han Yi. Now it is two to two, and this requires money. Without the Ministry of Revenue nodding, who allocates money to print books for you, Han Yi's opinion is very critical.

Han Yi pondered for a while and said, "Actually, I think everyone is very reasonable. The court cannot do business. It is a very realistic problem. The court does business with the money from the treasury, while the private person takes his own money and puts his heart in mind. It is not my money. Of course I don't care. Therefore, the court will most likely lose money when doing business."

Xu Jingzong frowned, you kid are so shameless, I have supported you once in the past! You have to repay me. Just as he was about to speak, Han Yi suddenly said, "Xu Zhongshu, can you listen to me first?"

Xu Jingzong was stunned for a moment and said, "Let me listen carefully."

"Thank you!" Han Yi continued: "But at the same time, I also believe that the court should have its own newspaper, which is specifically used to inform the people and some of the court's policies, so that it can avoid spreading rumors. Some articles from Hongwenguan can also be published on it. It doesn't matter whether it makes money or not, even if it loses a little, it doesn't matter. After all, its role has exceeded the transaction itself. I agree that the court owns a newspaper, but I don't agree with profit-oriented businesses such as printing books."

Du Zhenglun nodded and said, "Shangshu Han's words are reasonable, I agree with doing so."

The reason why Xu Jingzong did this was not because he wanted to make money from it. He just didn't want public opinion to be controlled by the nobles. The newspapers could help him achieve this goal, so he nodded and agreed.

Lu Chengqing opposed the struggle for profit with the people, and the newspaper was issued as a notice, so he did not object to this.

On the contrary, Han Yi didn't really want the court to speak out, otherwise he would have done it long ago. However, this was a feudal era and there must be an official report. He knew that this could not be stopped, and it was also considered to be a reward for Xu Jingzong's support for intellectual property rights. In addition to fighting each other, the rest of the politicians was exchange of interests. Now that the emperor was not here, he fought over and over again, he could only achieve nothing, because everyone was equal in power and wanted to do something, so they could only compromise with each other.

After this is settled, it will definitely be handed over to Hongwenguan, which will be dominated by the three provinces. This is a must. No department dares to compete with Hongwenguan. Han Yi has never thought about getting involved. Instead, he is worried that the court will send newspapers now and whether the Tang Daily will have to be renamed.

In fact, this is just a small episode for Han Yi, because his main purpose is intellectual property rights, and he just needs to achieve this, and he didn't care about it. As for the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue, he handed over to Zheng Shanxing and Zhang Daxiang to deal with it. He took the time to go to the manor he was building to see.

Accompanied by Sangmu and Ono, we walked through the fog forest and came to the manor behind.

Compared to the first time, the feeling of déjà vu from the wild mountains and rivers this time gave Han Yi a magical feeling.

You can't feel the atmosphere of construction at all. Those buildings are located in it, and they are natural without a trace of incongruity. They are surrounded by colorful flowers. The paths paved with pebbles seem to grow under lush grass, pavilions, pools, water pavilions, and green cypresses. The rockery and strange rocks seem to be quiet and moving, and are at the top of a beautiful landscape painting.

"Original Master, Sangmu General Manager, Ono, you are here."

A honest man came to Han Yi and the others and said with a respectful expression.

Han Yi smiled and said, "Old Cao, is it a pretty good job?"

Cao Dongnan was excited to hear it, "Yes - is it? The villain is afraid - is afraid that you are not satisfied with the boss."

"Satisfied! I'm very satisfied! Take me around."

“Yes, yes, yes.”

The grass immediately walked into Han Yi in the southeast, and it seemed to be natural. In fact, there was a lot of worldly affairs in it. The ancient architects were really different from those in later generations. The architectural concept of the ancients was to emphasize the unity of man and nature, and the same was true for wearing clothes. They did not like to destroy the primitive ecology to build a large-scale construction. They were not like later generations. They basically just flatten it first. For example, the exterior wall of this manor was not made of bricks and tiles, but made of shrubs, thorns, and vines, but it was much thicker than the natural ones. It looked lush and lush, not like an exterior wall at all. However, it was very difficult to climb in because without a focus, the vines were soft and would probably be in a state of pain.

The main features of this manor are hot springs and spring water.

"Owner, this is the swimming pool built according to your instructions." Cao Dongnan brought Han Yi to a stone pond. The spring water was clear and heard him say: "This valley is very rich in water. The water in this pond mainly comes from the spring water on the mountain. We also used the drainage channel in the palace. There are some fine holes under this pond, and the water flows into the fine holes, so that the water here will always be very clear, and the water flowing away can nourish the soil of the manor."

Han Yi said in surprise: "You even know the drainage method of the palace?"

Cao Dongnan nodded and said, "The villain once talked to a craftsman who came out of the palace."

Ono suddenly said, "Brother Han, is this pond specially used for swimming?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "Do you want to give it a try?"

Ono said, "Is that OK?"

Han Yi said: "If you don't mind being watched by so many people, you can go down and swim for a few laps."

Ono looked around and saw that there were still many craftsmen here. He was a little shy when he thought about it, and shook his head and said, "Then - then let's wait and come back next time."

Han Yi smiled and walked into the southeast of the grass. Here is the hot spring that Han Yi specifically requested. One is semi-open and the other is closed. In the eyes of Han Yi, a time traveler, the appearance is very ancient. It is made of beams and pillars and wooden boards. It is very simple. It is made of natural stones and pebbles. As for the closed one, it is relatively large, and it can be said to be an indoor swimming pool.

After wandering around outside, Han Yi and the others came to the house again. It was the same style of the Tang Dynasty architecture, which was very spacious, especially in the living room. It had to walk a while from the door to the seats, because there was no decoration inside, so there was no way to see any tricks. However, Han Yi liked the architectural style outside very much, very simple, and integrated with the mountains and forests.

"I wonder what the owner has to ask for this decoration?" Cao Dongnan asked.

This is also his purpose of inviting Han Yi to come.

Han Yi said: "You can do this in detail. It doesn't need to be very luxurious, but it must be comfortable and convenient. Oh, you must have a few spacious and bright study rooms and bookcases." When he thought that the women in the room were workaholics, he had to do this. Cao Dongnan hurriedly wrote it down and said: "Is there any?"

"Let's take a look!"

Han Yi did not have high requirements for these, because in his previous life, he was wandering around the city when he was a child, sleeping everywhere. When he grew up, he just took a plane and walked around everywhere. He stayed in a hotel and didn't even have a nest. He developed his personality of being content with everything, and he considered Xiao Wuyi and the others more.

I wandered around the courtyard for a while again.

"Huh? What is this room for?"

"Oh, this is the cottage."

"Thousand House? Take a look!"

"yes."

Cao Dongnan immediately opened the door, and it was empty inside and there was nothing, but it was very large, with a total of twenty or thirty square meters.

Sang Mu also exclaimed: "This thatched cottage is really big!"

"I heard that the thatched cottage of the Taiwei family is so big, with screens, gauze curtains, and some spices to eliminate the odor." Cao Nandong said it was full of foam, but he couldn't hear the meaning of the thatched cottage at all. He was even more luxurious than the other's bedroom.

In fact, Cao Dongnan helped Han Yi build a manor with a grateful heart. He was able to do what he is today because of Han Yi. He felt that it was an honor to be able to build a manor for Han Yi. He followed the best things. The stones in the swimming pool outside were chosen by thousands of choices, and the money was very refreshing, so it just looked simple.

Because Han Yi lived in the Xiao family, the thatched cottage was indeed very luxurious, but it was not that big. He looked at the thatched cottage thoughtfully and said nothing.

Seeing that Han Yi didn't say a word, Cao Dongnan asked carefully: "Master, do you think there is something wrong with this thatched cottage? Just tell me."

Han Yi said: "You haven't thought about where the feces are going?"

Caodongnan was stunned for a moment. The city had a special plan. Every day, someone would come to transport the manure as fertilizer. The village would use it as fertilizer directly. It was not the city or the village. It was extremely difficult to transport it out and it was impossible for someone to transport it every day. He didn't say it, but the meaning was very obvious. In this wilderness, you can fall wherever you like.

Han Yi thought, if he poured it casually, the surrounding area would be stinky one day, and he thoughtfully said: "It seems that there is only one way."

Cao Nandongdao: "What method?"

“Flush toilet.”

"Flush toilet?"

Han Yi nodded and said, "This thatched cottage will not move for now, it may take some major renovation."
Chapter completed!
