Tang Ping choked up for a moment and could only say calmly:
"Then if a person has a technology that is not yet mature and cannot be used and promoted, he can research it or not at this time. But after researching it, it will not be of any benefit to him, so he simply gives up. Does Mr. Duan think this is possible?"
This was the first time that Duan Lun had someone discuss this issue with him. After thinking about it, he nodded and admitted that this was indeed a possibility.
Although he has a noble character, as Tang Ping said, many people still have a selfish side. If there is no benefit, it is normal for people not to study it.
"Yes, so if we can give a certain reward to everyone who provides a new technology, then won't many people with ideas invent this technology for this reward?"
Tang Ping continued to guide Duan Lun, making Duan Lun fall into deep thought again.
Duan Lun thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Is this how the drawings Mr. Tang gave us came from?"
Tang Ping didn't expect him to ask this, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, we have many policies to encourage new inventions. As long as you can invent useful inventions that benefit the people, you can make a fortune."
This is actually an impact on values. In any case, egoism in modern society is definitely more serious.
Duan Lun has actually been thinking about why Tang Ping can come up with so many technologies that he has never thought of. They can make many things, but no one has ever thought about that.
Just like waterwheels and textile looms, they have copied many of them, but no one could have thought of doing that before Tang Ping gave them the drawings.
Now he seemed to know the answer and said hesitantly: "That is to say, if our Ministry of Industry gives certain rewards like Xia Langzhong did, there will only be more and more inventions like this in the future?"
"That's right!" Tang Ping nodded and said, "And not just in the Ministry of Industry, this kind of thing should be extended to the entire private sector. The government can actually issue decrees, and whoever invents new things can report it to the government. Once the government recognizes their invention, , this became his patent.”
"In the future, no matter who wants to use this technology, he will be given a small fee so that the inventor can

Will be more motivated. "
After talking for so long, Tang Ping finally threw out the concept of patents: "For those who secretly use other people's technology but are unwilling to pay the fee, once discovered, the government will impose heavy fines!"
"But... wouldn't this increase the user's burden?"
"Of course not!" Tang Ping explained: "Just like the Tang Li that I made for you, the efficiency has at least doubled, right? But the seller who makes the Tang Li needs to pay me two cents for the patent fee. This fee is for him It can be added to the selling price, which means the selling price will increase by two cents."
"That is to say, if you pay two more cents for the same plow as before the improvement, but the working efficiency is doubled, then the buyer will still be the beneficiary. And as the inventor, I can earn two cents from each plow. After the money is accumulated, it will still be a large amount, so I will also be the beneficiary, and I will be more interested in inventing other farm tools."
"This can form a virtuous cycle. Maybe the plows people buy in the future will have a patent and cost ten cents more, but the efficiency will be increased several times, so it won't be a loss after all, right?"
Tang Ping talked for a long time, and his mouth was a little dry. He took a sip of tea and heard Duan Lun ask: "So Master Tang wants to collect Tang Li's patent fees?"
"Pfft..." Tang Ping sprayed it directly, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said awkwardly: "Master Duan, I just used it as an analogy. I said at the time that it was dedicated to the imperial court, so of course I won't accept you. But if the law on patents I mentioned is passed, I will definitely have to collect money in the future.”
Duan Lun nodded: "I still know the story of Zigong's redeemer and Zilu's oxen."
What Tang Ping said today had a huge impact on him. Not only was it an impact on his values, it could even be said to have opened a new door for him.
"Then what about the rewards from the Ministry of Industry that Mr. Tang just mentioned? For example, Xia Qing's invention."
Xia Qing is Xia Langzhong. He had just heard Tang Ping say that he wanted to give himself a reward. As a result, the two of them talked about it for a long time. Now that they finally talked about it, they stopped excitedly and directly Look at the two of them.
In fact, it was not just him. Everyone stopped eating and drinking at this time and looked at Duan Lun and Tang Ping quietly.

people.
Duan Lun sighed inwardly. Looking at everyone's reactions, he knew that Tang Ping was right. Aren't these subordinates actually looking forward to rewards now?
Tang Ping thought for a while and said, "For example, Xia Langzhong, after the government used his technology, since it can increase the efficiency of city construction by 20%, it means that at least the labor cost has been saved by 20%, right? Xia Langzhong was promoted as a result. , then it’s not an exaggeration if we convert this cost into cash and give him 1%!”
One percent? Xia Langzhong was stunned for a moment, and then he calculated in his mind that if he completely built a new city, the labor cost would be more than ten thousand yuan, so he would be rewarded with a hundred!
And how many city walls need to be built every year in the entire Tang Dynasty?
After some internal calculations, he was standing still holding the cup, but suddenly his feet felt weak and he sat down on the ground.
This is... going to be posted!
As a result, before his excitement was over, he heard Duan Lun ask: "If we have to pay for not even building a city, what if Xia Qing dies?"
As soon as these words came out, Xia Langzhong felt a chill go down his spine and looked at Duan Lun with a mournful face. This Lord Shangshu had always been frugal. Could it be that he was looking for an opportunity to kill himself just to save money?
"Of course, such a patent must have a certain period of time, which can be one year, thirty years, or twenty years. If anything happens to the inventor during this period, his heirs can continue to collect the fees."
Duan Lun nodded, not expecting that Tang Ping's plan had taken all aspects into consideration.
"In that case, I will write to Your Majesty when I get back and come up with regulations!"
As soon as Duan Lun finished speaking, the other silent Ministry of Industry officials cheered.
Although they do not have the idea of becoming an official for thousands of miles just for money, as long as they are normal people, few will feel that money is a thorn in their side. If they can earn more through formal channels and improve the living conditions of themselves and their families, whether it is modern or large Tang, no one would refuse.
The reaction of these people once again proved to Duan Lun the correctness of the patent system proposed by Tang Ping.
