Chapter 404: Fighting for Copyright and Patent Office

Sure enough, upon hearing his words, Emperor Chongzhen's face suddenly turned cold. He looked at him and said, "Grandstanding? He Wei is grandstanding? Benefiting the people and teaching them to be good is grandstanding? Then tell me, how can you not do this? Grandstanding?"

Emperor Chongzhen was a little angry. He didn't even use the word "Qing" and directly used the word "you". Originally, he wanted to add a sentence later, "Are poems, lyrics, and songs not just sensationalizing?" Then he thought that scholars are good at this, and if he pointed the finger at this, he would attract many enemies to himself, so he did not say it.

"..." Cheng Jiming was speechless. He was just saying what everyone had agreed upon, but when the emperor asked him so carefully, he really couldn't answer it. Is it from a conceptual point of view? But the emperor has already said that it is to teach people to be good. Is it related to money? The various yamen have just divided their shares. Is this considered to be related to money...

Emperor Chongzhen was speechless when he saw Cheng Jiming. He also decided in his heart that he was the emperor and should be more arbitrary in some things. So, he said in a decisive tone: "Look at what the culture of our Ming Dynasty has become. All the dignified men of seven feet wear women's will and do women's behavior. What a man! Go outside by yourselves. Look, not to mention Jiangnan where it is the most popular, it is also found in the capital. I encountered such a thing today, haha, I really did a good job in educating the people!"

Anyone who is not blind knows this. No one could refute, and all the courtiers fell silent under the emperor's rage.

"Chief Assistant?" Emperor Chongzhen called his name.

As soon as Wen Tiren heard the emperor address him by his official name, he knew that the emperor was dissatisfied, so he quickly responded: "I'm here!"

"In the name of the cabinet, the Imperial College is ordered to come up with specific regulations. Those who have gained fame in studying in the Ming Dynasty dare to behave like women. This is not what a scholar should be like. He will bring bad luck to the Ming Dynasty and destroy his reputation. I don't need such scholars! "Emperor Chongzhen said sternly, "When the specific measures are announced, I will read them and then enact them throughout the world!"

"I obey the decree!" Wen Tiren responded immediately.

As an older scholar, I am actually disgusted with the practices of young scholars nowadays. It’s just that the trend is like this, so I just turn a blind eye. Now that the emperor is angry about this, it is time to straighten things out, which is also in line with the wishes of the older generation of scholars.

After Wen Tiren responded, Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the ministers and said decisively: "In order to educate the people and set an example, there should be more education about passionate men and loyal service to the country. For the education to be effective, there should be less preaching and more guidance. The protagonist Guo Jing in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is simple and honest, and he can get a romantic relationship, which is a guide. His main purpose is to be a great hero and serve the country and the people, and it is also a spirit for the people of the Ming Dynasty to learn from. ! Such literary works, whether novels, dramas, etc., should be encouraged."

This time, no one dared to refute it. This was a major event to educate the people, and it was an upward move. Who can say anything else!

Seeing that there was no objection, Emperor Chongzhen announced: "I have decided to establish a yamen, under the name of the Ministry of Etiquette, with the seal of the Minister of Ceremony, to review novels, operas, etc. If the content is original and the intention is to educate the world, it will be subject to the Ming Dynasty Protected by the law. Anyone who dares to destroy, steal and use it to make money will be severely punished."

"I obey the decree!" Sun Yuanhua was overjoyed and responded quickly. If the Yamen is under the Ministry of Rites, it will have more power, which is a great joy.

Emperor Chongzhen's face was still a little cold, and he immediately announced: "Yao Yue Lou stole "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to make money. The facts are all there. Storyteller, the owners of Yu Yue Lou each played thirty big boards and paraded in the streets for a day; Yaoyuelou seizes it and compensates the copyright owner of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". In the future, similar incidents will be punished in order!"

After hearing this, Wen Tiren was a little hesitant. After thinking about it, he went out and said: "Your Majesty, is this punishment too severe? And...and if the outside world knows that the author of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is your Majesty, will they... …”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Jiming was speechless. It turned out that there was a reason for this!

Some of the other ministers who didn't know the situation were very surprised!

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care, and immediately interrupted Wen Tiren's admonishment: "I want to punish him severely. If anyone dares to commit a crime, he will be punished with the loss of his fortune and a ruined reputation. Let's see who dares to do it again! As for other things, what do I have to say? Worried? As long as other cases are punished according to this!"

The emperor had already talked about this, and Wen Tiren stopped talking about it. Anyone who dares to commit the crime in the future will only be too brave.

Just when these courtiers thought that the matter was over, and they were about to talk about the emperor's private visit incognito, they heard Emperor Chongzhen continue: "The new Yamen is called the Copyright and Patent Office. In addition to copyrights in literature, etc., there are also Patent protection means. What is patent, that is, special rights and interests. Just like copyright protection, it is the special rights and interests of original authors. In addition, cement invention rights are also one of them, and are also protected by Ming law. Dare to have Those who steal and make profits will be severely punished without lending!”

When he said this, he looked at Sun Yuanhua, acting minister of the Ministry of Rites, and said: "The Copyright and Patent Office also has to review new products, new technologies, new techniques, new techniques, etc. ancestral craftsmanship, even those that are not available in the outside world, are all subject to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Protected by law. Does Sun Qing understand?"

With the story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" as an example, it would be obvious to apply this to other things. Sun Yuanhua was delighted and immediately responded: "I understand, I will arrange these things immediately!" As soon as he finished speaking, someone disagreed and immediately went out to report: "Your Majesty, I believe that new products, new processes, new techniques, etc., fall under the jurisdiction of our Ministry of Industry. Jurisdiction is only appropriate!"

Needless to say, this person is Nan Juyi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. He immediately felt the huge power of the Copyright and Patent Office. Such a good thing, he felt, should have been a matter of the Ministry of Industry. How could it be transferred to the Ministry of Rites? Of course, he would have to fight for it.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't think much about it before. Now when he heard it, he felt that Nan Juyi was right. It seemed that this matter was indeed related to the Ministry of Industry. Just when he was about to change his mind, Shen Yongmao, Minister of the Ministry of War, also came out and said: "Your Majesty, there are also these things along the way of military industry. I think it is appropriate and reasonable that these should be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War!"

"Your Majesty, I thought..."

"..."

Well, all six ministers came out and stated that they wanted to be under the jurisdiction of their own yamen, which made Emperor Chongzhen a little speechless. Don't tell me, what they say makes sense.

Emperor Chongzhen hesitated a little, then turned to look at Wen Tiren and said, "What do Wen Qing think?"
