Chapter 369 Vigorously Promote Ming Imperialist Fighters

It is undeniable that the generator, light bulb, and telegraph would not have been invented without Zhu Kezang's guidance and drawings.

But without the ingenuity of Huang Lvzhuang, Yan Yuan and others, even with the drawings, none of these things would be possible.

So Zhu Kezang planned to promote these two Ming imperialist warriors.

The first step is to make the light bulb public.

Of course, the telegraph machine and coal generator were Ming Dynasty's top secrets, and the technology was too advanced to be discovered by the common people and people from other countries for the time being.

At present, we are just doing things without talking about it and developing quietly.

But manual generators and light bulbs are so backward that they can be shown to others.

Therefore, Zhu Kezang summoned all the civil and military ministers, students from the Imperial Academy, teachers and students from Gewuzhizhi Academy to watch the light bulbs together!

At night, as Huang Luzhuang stepped on the pedal, the light bulb gradually glowed, becoming more and more obvious, until it illuminated the surrounding area more than ten meters clearly.

Except for the people from Gewu Zhizhi Academy, everyone else around them was stunned. They really couldn't figure out how the thing could emit flames if it wasn't ignited.

This "certain fee" will be evaluated and negotiated by both parties. If they cannot reach an agreement and use it without authorization, they will need to pay a fine determined by the newly established "Patent Division" and compensate it to the inventor.

The sky-high patent fees turned the two of them into hot new rich people.

Because apart from the power to impeach others, the censor has no other power to govern the people and the army, so there is nothing to gain except accepting bribes.

No matter what their purpose is, as long as it can promote the development of science in Ming Dynasty, it is good.

Zhu Kezang did this because he wanted more and more people to see the benefits brought by studying things to achieve knowledge and science, so that more people could be induced to devote themselves to it.

Such a good policy naturally requires a lot of publicity to let more and more people know that as long as the knowledge of things is in place, one can become an official in the court and gain a lot of money legally. Studying knowledge and science will become a class jump for the common people of the Ming Dynasty.

new way.

Zhu Kezang was embarrassed by this, so with a stroke of his pen, he gave part of the money to Gewu Zhizhi College and the General Administration of Manufacturing as funds.

And knowledge brings them much more.

Chen Yonghua, Huang Zongxi and other people who had some knowledge of science who watched the ceremony were extremely shocked.

They understand most that what science needs is someone to continue to study. Only in this way can the entire theory be perfected and applied to the construction of the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Luzhuang and Yan Yuan are two good role models. The learning atmosphere of Gewu Zhizhi College has become more intense. Everyone wants to be the next Huang Luzhuang and Yan Yuan.

Earlier, they had been popularized by Zhu Kezang about the power of science.

Forty-eight thousand Ming silver coins are deposited in the Ming Dynasty Royal Bank in the form of a "learning fund". The bank will use the money to invest. As a reward, the bank will pay five points of interest every year.

Zhu Kezang's first consideration was the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The light bulb was given to both of them purely to create publicity.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty official purchased the independent right to use the invention patent of electric light from Yan Yuan and Huang Luzhuang with a patent royalty of 50,000 silver coins.

According to the scale of Yanglianyin, the income of Ruan Minxi, a second-rank right censor of the capital, can be equal to that of a first-rank minister.

But these patents were signed by the emperor, which meant that the Ming treasury had to pay Zhu Kezang.

On the same day, Zhu Kezang summoned Huang Luzhuang and Yan Yuan. Because the two successfully developed generators, electric lights, telegraphs and other equipment, they were awarded the title of earl.

On October 6, the fifth year of Shenwu, the Ministry of Industry promulgated a new law, the "Law of the Ming Empire's Individual and Individual Exclusive Rights," referred to as the "Ming Patent Law."

Considering that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is a supervisory department and a department that fights corruption, it can be given appropriate priority.

Among them is the electric light patent, owned by Huang Luzhuang and Yan Yuan.

As for patents such as steam engines, trains, generators, telegraph machines, etc., they are all signed by Zhu Kezang.

What Zhu Kezang wants now is to rapidly develop Ming's scientific undertakings.

Therefore, in order to avoid the corruption of the imperial censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhu Kezang issued an edict and asked the Ministry of Personnel to issue a new salary to the Metropolitan Procuratorate: Yanglianyin.

Distributing money to support integrity can ensure that the censor can live in poverty without taking bribes.

At the same time, numerous patents and their legal stipulations were announced, including but not limited to steam engines, lathes, trains, steelmaking methods, etc.

For both of them, this is already a great honor.

Today's electric light is an application of knowledge, which is very rare.

The duty of the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has always been to impeach others for their wrongdoings, especially those of corrupt officials.

These interests serve as scholarships.

Zhu Kezang was crossing the river by touching the Qing Dynasty again.

Knowledge really changes destiny!

Each year, there are 24 scholarship places, and each student can receive 100 Ming silver dollars each year. This is not a small amount of money. It is higher than the annual salary of ordinary soldiers in the Guards.

After some discussions, the school decided to establish the "Huang Luzhuang Yanyuan Scholarship" to be awarded to five students who have outstanding performance during the development of generators and telegraphs.

A full 50,000 Ming Dynasty silver dollars have a purchasing power equivalent to at least four million modern soft coins!

Another part will be divided to reward the craftsmen who have participated in these projects before!

The rest goes into your own funds.

On the 7th, the Ming Dynasty announced the establishment of the "Da Ming State-owned Electric Power Company", which has jurisdiction over the No. 1 Power Plant and the No. 1 Electric Light Manufacturing Factory.

But when a young man leads a group of young students, he can develop such a shocking thing, which makes them feel the hope of the younger generation.

Not only that, because the use of certain inventions such as steam engines was limited to the promulgation of new laws, the Ming Dynasty officials had to compensate the inventors with a patent fee, otherwise they would not be able to continue to use them.

Because the Qing Dynasty in the game Victoria 3 is too strong, it was nicknamed Yehenala 3 (Cixi).

The patent law stipulates that individuals can enjoy the independent right to use special inventions for twenty years, and the right to use can be given to others. It stipulates that unless the patent is donated or the patent is transferred, the non-patent holder must make profits after using the patent.

Pay a certain royalty fee to the holder of the patent.

In the newspaper the next day, the words Huangluzhuang, Yan Yuan and electric lamp were linked together, and then their names were quickly known to the people of the Ming Dynasty because of the electric lamp.

Thanks to various funds, the Ming Dynasty's treasury has been quite rich recently. According to Yehenala's habit, Zhu Kezang wanted to increase the salary of officials.

However, Huang Luzhuang and Yan Yuan themselves were not lost by this huge wealth. Each of them took a thousand silver dollars to improve themselves and their families' lives, and donated the rest to the Gewu Zhizhi Academy.

After all, almost all of Ming Dynasty's high technology was brought by Zhu Kezang alone.

Ruan Minxi, a native of Tong'an, Xiamen, was once one of the staff of Guo Xingye. He served under Zhu Kezang and served as the censor of Youdu. He was good at cooking Gongfu tea and had tea-making skills.

Huang Zongxi was the censor of Zuodu, and both of them were chief officials of the Duchayuan. However, in ancient times, Zuo was the most respected person, and Huang Zongxi's status was slightly higher than his.

Ruan Minxi was naturally happy when he heard that Zhu Kezang was going to give them money to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which meant that the emperor fully recognized their work.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! It's not easy to be a censor since ancient times. Fortunately, the Emperor is so understanding!" Ruan Minxi said with emotion.
