"Of course, they cannot pass on the craftsmanship given to them by the church, not even to their brothers, parents, or maternal relatives! I will find someone to write this down, and everyone will mark it with their fingers. If there is any violation, Yes, you should pay for it, if you don’t want to pay for it, go to the county government office.”
Although there is no patent law in this era, as long as it is written in white on black paper and pressed with fingers, Li Ping'an will be able to file a lawsuit. He didn't know much about the government's credibility, but it was very intimidating.
Seeing Li Ping'an's serious face, Li Jianghe's heart trembled. They, the country folk, were frightened when they saw people from the government. Anyone who opened his mouth would be suing the government.
But I also agree with Li Pingan's statement in my heart. After all, this is the business created by Li Pingan. Whether it is to lead the villagers to make money, or to teach them crafts to be self-reliant, no matter what Li Pingan's purpose is, they have taken a huge advantage. If someone is really ignorant and teaches the jelly recipe to relatives or sells it to others for profit, it will not only harm the interests of Li Ping'an and his family.
"You can rest assured that if there is such a fool, you can just go to the officials. Not only that, I will also open an ancestral hall to drive this kind of unkind and unjust thing out of the family tree!"
Hearing this, Li Ping'an immediately smiled and said, "Grandpa Qi, I believe that the uncles in the village are all good. When we first came here, the uncles in the village were so enthusiastic. Otherwise, I wouldn't talk to you about this matter, but We can recruit people.”
Li Jianghe's face relaxed and he also laughed. He is the village chief of Zhutao Village and the chief of the Li clan. When Li Ping'an praised the people in the village, wasn't he just praising him for his good management? But, "Anyway, Chou It's true what I said before. Although the people in the village are nice, money is very attractive. Originally, everyone's life was similar, especially those of you who had just escaped from famine. Your life was even worse. Now that you are getting up, people's hearts are separated. Who can Are you sure someone will look down on you?"
"That's the truth!" Li Ping'an couldn't help but nodded in agreement. Li Jianghe could realize this, which showed that he was a person who knew the importance of things. He felt more at ease, "Then the matter is settled like this, bother Qi. Grandpa tells the villagers to choose one of the two methods before tomorrow night. I am in a hurry and can't delay."
August will be here in two days, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is getting closer and closer. There will be temple fairs in the county, and many people from all townships and villages will flock to the city. The business atmosphere in Mingxia County shows that they are willing to spend money. There are a lot of people there, and there will be outsiders by then. He hopes to make a fortune during the peak period of this wave of people.
After saying this, he left Grandpa Qi to have dinner with him in the evening. No matter how urgent the matter was, he would not rush to this moment.
When he came out, he saw Zhao Di helping to make dinner at his house. Li Ping'an asked Taohua and Cao Ya if they hadn't come back yet. Zhao Di shook her head and glanced worriedly in the direction of the village entrance, "Brother Xiao Shan is here with Chun Yu." We’re waiting at the entrance of the village.”
Li Ping'an looked around and found that Zhang Xiaoshan was nowhere to be seen. After thinking about it, he walked towards the entrance of the village. As soon as he reached the village, he saw Cao Ya. Three little girls were discussing something with smiles on their faces. Zhang Xiaoshan was there. He followed behind, carrying a load on his shoulders.
Xu Shi saw Li Pingan, and Taohua who was walking in front stopped immediately, turned around and grabbed the burden from Zhang Xiaoshan.
Li Pingan secretly smiled and stepped forward quickly. However, before he could reach it, the burden fell on Taohua's shoulders. Zhang Xiaoshan glared at Li Pingan with a stinky face.
Li Ping'an turned a blind eye and asked Cao Ya: "Why do you guys come back so late?"
"We have gone a little further. Today we asked Aunt Dou to take us there. Aunt Dou took us to her natal village and helped us shout. We picked two buckets of jelly and they were all sold out." Cao Ya raised her head. With a big smile, the Aunt Dou she talked about was the hostess of the house they stayed in when they fled the famine. She was a very good person. She knew that Caoya and the others had no adults at home, so after Caoya and the others moved out, she would give them to them from time to time. Bring some food home.
The two sisters were going to the village to hawk. They were unfamiliar with the place and needed a local to guide them. Taohua was already marriageable at this age, so it was obviously not suitable to find a young man. Little girls of the same age rarely went out, so they could only find one in the village. A familiar aunt.
Back home, Caoya took out the eighty cents she earned today and divided ten cents into ten cents. When the last portion was only five cents, she gave four of the ten cents to Li. Ping An, "I gave Aunt Dou five cents. She not only showed us the way, but also helped us shout. Without Aunt Dou's help, we don't know if it would have sold so fast. The five cents are mine."
Li Ping'an put away forty copper coins and told Caoya that the amount he would need tomorrow would be double that of today. Fortunately, Sister Yue'er and the others were able to help, so it was okay to work harder. The key is that if the production is to be increased in the future, the pots they have together may not be enough, and the barrels are not enough.
This is Li Pingan's problem. He should have bought wooden barrels today and asked if he could get a few more iron pots. He had planned it when he came out of Juwei Pavilion, but after talking to Mr. Wang, He had forgotten that, all he was thinking about was either Qu Yuuli or the things Mr. Wang gave him.
He told Zhang Xiaoshan to remind him tomorrow, and then Li Ping'an told Cao Ya what he had just said to Li Jiang He. It was determined by then that Cao Ya would need to teach them how to make jelly.
"As for the division of accounts, you don't have to worry. Let's see which plan the villagers choose. No matter what, I won't let you suffer." When he said this, Li Ping'an glanced at Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Look what I'm doing, these things have nothing to do with me." He said this, but Zhang Xiaoshan still couldn't hold back and smiled.
Taohua blushed, Caoya covered her mouth and secretly laughed, Li Ping'an rolled his eyes in his heart, this dark young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was also so duplicitous.
Then, Li Ping'an said about the things that Mr. Wang gave them, "Just accept them generously. They are valuable to us, but they are probably not worth mentioning to Mr. Wang. Chunyu and the others are also If they don’t have a change of clothes, they should make new clothes for them, and so should you.
Caoya, let me tell you, although it was the Taoist Priest who was kind to Mr. Wang, but since the Taoist Priest told Mr. Wang to take more care of you, Mr. Wang is also a good person. You can accept whatever is given to you. Use it when you need it, just keep this good thing in mind. If Mr. Wang stops taking care of you one day, don't feel unbalanced and resent him. No matter what Mr. Wang does, our thighs can't hold his arm, so we can only bear it. Besides, we have nothing that Mr. Wang can covet. "
Knowing that Li Ping'an was referring to the silver, Cao Ya was silent for a while before gently nodding her head.
