Chapter 1,768 Intellectual Property Rights

In the first month of the year, during the Jiaxu period, the officials of the Song Dynasty who were responsible for water conservancy in Hebei Province died.

Before his death, Song Yongchen asked Su to write a suicide note, which he combined with his experience in managing the Yellow River over the years, and made it "River Discussion".

The summary says: "It has been four years since there was a division of water in Qing Dynasty, there was a commotion over labor costs, and I was responsible for the discussion of the world.

In ancient times, the so-called water divider was to determine the terrain and guide it to divide it. This is why Yu determined the nine states.

Therefore, the road is thousands of miles long, and there are high places along the way. Therefore, it rises and falls over time, and often breaks off.

The minister said that the two embankments of the north stream of the great river should be completed, the abandoned embankments of Zongcheng should be repaired, the entrance of Zongcheng should be opened, and the upper and lower walls should be built.

In summer, it is prepared for floods, and in winter it is closed for renovation, so that water can flow northward and wash away the sand accumulated in the embankment.

In addition, the river gate of Kan Village will be opened to straighten the river into a deep channel. It will be ready in one or two years, and the river troubles will be over.

The river problem is caused by sand. Nowadays, trees are planted in the upper reaches, and the sand in the river is reduced. It will be cleared up in time.

However, before the Qing Dynasty, dredging was carried out every year, and it should be regarded as a rule. It must not be used in the name of rest, which will bring disaster to the future.

If things are forewarned, they will be successful; if they are not forewarned, they will be ruined.

I have been corrupt, blasphemous and stupid, and have been snared many times. Fortunately, Your Majesty has wiped it out and used it. I have such profound grace, how dare you not be sincere?

The only thing I dare to say before I die is that I hope Your Majesty will check it out."

Song Yongchen was born as a middle-ranking official. He had the common problems of a middle-ranking official, such as being jealous of the powerful, bullying subordinates, loving vanity, and being greedy and cruel to the people.

But he also has his own advantages, that is, he advocates science and engineering, is pragmatic, does not shy away from trouble, and is conscientious in his work.

The final conclusion is that Su You believes that his achievements, especially in the important matter of regulating the Yellow River, cannot be ignored.

When choosing his subordinates, Su You would rather choose the latter.

The last sentence in Song Yongchen's memorial, "There is only one thing I dare to say before I die," cannot fully express the grievances of the scapegoat.

Song Yongchen took a lot of blame for his relatives outside the clan, and Zhao Xu was not unaware of it. In the end, he gave Song Yongchen the treatment he deserved, and was granted the posthumous title Minke after the Guangji Army Jieduliu.

In February, Su You went on patrol again, this time to inspect Weihe and the Tongji Army in Liyang, and to take care of some private matters.

Weihe River, also known as Yongji Canal, is one of the important water conservancy projects in Hebei, while Tongji Junshanhuashan is the largest piebald stone quarry.

The colander and Yi An's mansion have been repaired and have entered the interior decoration stage.

Zhao Ji's generous design is good, but it's very expensive.

Because of the invention and improvement of the camera, the Privy Council listed it as a major military initiative. Zhao Ji received this year's two Royal Outstanding Contribution Awards for Mechanical Invention and Fine Arts.

Plus a military medal.

Zhao Xu immediately cleared the land for his younger brother and promoted him to King Duan.

Even You Zhengyan Zhang Shangying couldn't object, because the handsome guy Zhang looked at the photo on his "passport" and was very satisfied.

When you look in the mirror before, you never realize how handsome you are?

The courtyard designed by Zhao Ji has requirements for color tone, and Zhao Ji hates artificial things such as ceramic tiles and cement grindstones. The paths in the courtyard and the stone strips on both sides are made of black and white marble; the lights used for roadside decoration are

The seats and faucets are made of dark green granite; the pavement is required to be paved with yellow and white speckled stones.

I didn't take the colander seriously at first. It's not like Party A couldn't change the designer's drawings, so it was pretty much the same.

As a result, when Colander bought the green bricks and prepared to lay the path, Zhao Ji took out the design contract and took the lawsuit to Zhao Xu, saying that Colander did not respect his creation and did not inquire about it. How could the design of Master Eleven be acceptable?

Changed casually?

That path is the finishing touch in the courtyard design. It is stated in the contract that if Party A destroys my creative concept, it will be a huge harm to me, and I have the right to demand compensation from Party A.

Colander was dumbfounded. This kid was usually the eldest brother, but Colander always treated him like a little brat. He signed the contract without even reading it, just treating him like a brat playing around.

The little brat just had an idea, but if I don’t follow his plan, do I still need to compensate?

Zhao Ji was very angry. I designed the courtyard just like Situ's writings. I put a lot of thought into it. Do you understand the protection of intellectual property rights? If you don't understand, go to Bi Siqing and ask.

Zhao Xu actually summoned Bi Zhongyou, but Bi Zhongyou smiled bitterly and said that King Duan's statement was reasonable. The country encouraged intelligent inventions and included these under legal protection.

Every time Duan Wang finished designing a garden, he would register it with the Patent Office. The clerks in the Patent Office were greedy for the little management fee and collected it every time.

In other words, the plan of the residence designed by King Duan for the Sushe people has been protected by law.

Of course, if the Sushe people don't want to use this solution, that's their freedom.

However, with the contract, King Duan also paid the labor, and the design fee will be paid.

In addition, since the plan has legal protection, Sushe people can choose another plan without paying the design fee.

But if you want to use the original plan, you cannot make random changes. If you want to make changes, you must get the consent of the designer of the plan.

If you want to demolish part of the new house and rebuild it, it is not impossible. But it must be obviously different from the original design plan.

Otherwise, it would not be a contract dispute case, but another intellectual property plagiarism case.

Colander asked innocently, how different must the "part" you mentioned, Si Qing, be considered "obviously different"?

Bi Zhong lobbied for this level, which is now defined by law as 70%.

After hearing this, Colander wanted to break another law and hit someone.

Is there such a way to deceive people in this world? The piebald stone is so precious that the royal family is reluctant to use it more. You want me to pave the road in the yard?

If this road is not paved, I will have to demolish the new house and rebuild?

Let alone whether I can afford it, what should I do if the censor impeaches me for a crime that exceeds the legal limit?

Bi Zhong persuaded the Sushe people to rest assured. Nowadays, new materials and new technologies are emerging one after another. It is often too late for the court to list prohibited items, so it is simply lenient.

This piebald stone is also a new type of stone that Situ only discovered after he went to Hebei. So far, I have not heard that it is among the original ones.

But the colander still gritted his teeth. I couldn't take advantage of him! My father would have beaten me to death if he knew it!

This reminded Zhao Xu, yes, this case is so interesting. Colander, you should write to Situ first and ask, what if he has the best of both worlds?

Su You studied the broken design contract and found a loophole in it. There was indeed a way to get the best of both worlds.

Piebald stone, right? Then I don’t need to use expensive slates and use scraps to make pavement. Wouldn’t it still fit the design?

…

Quarry, especially high-efficiency quarry, is also a project integrating science and engineering in today's Song Dynasty.

Of course, although the efficiency is high, the overall mining cost is reduced, but the average cost per unit time is extremely high. Only products with strong market demand, high value, high output, and high profits are worth using this method.

Piebald stone is one of the best.

In order to save costs, this quarry uses several methods to remove blocks from huge ore rocks.

The first is to punch holes and blast them, which wastes a lot of stone.

Later it developed into a magical invention, the wire saw.

The wire saw is to fix emery balls in series on the steel wire rope, then drill holes in the stone, let the horizontal holes and vertical holes penetrate, pass the ball rope through, and connect the steel wire rope.

Mechanical power drives the steel wire rope to move, and the steel wire rope drives the ball rope to rub in the hole. In this way, a slit can be cut.

In order to further save costs, generally only the bottom slit and one side slit need to be cut. The back slit and the other side slit only need to be drilled, and the expansion cement is poured in to take advantage of its expansion characteristics during the solidification process.

The stone can be separated from the mountain.

The important component of expanded cement is alum produced in Taiyuan.

After taking out the blocks, all that's left is cutting and polishing.

Although the efficiency has increased hundreds of times, the products of this quarry are still in short supply.

The customers are all super wealthy people - Huangsong Bank, Shibosi, Daxiangguo Temple, Tianshi Mansion, Palace, Capital University, Craftsman Supervisor, and the homes of wealthy people from all over the world...

Stones have specifications. Among them, the largest stone with a side length of three feet is only allowed to be used in palaces and buildings with the word "imperial building". Even luxurious units like the Huangsong Bank can only use stones with a side length of two feet.

.

No one would use such a good thing to pave roads, and they are even reluctant to leave it thick. They are basically cut into boards and used for exterior walls and some interior columns and tabletop decorations to highlight the luxury of the building.

Except for people like Zhao Ji who have no concept of money and only pursue artistic effects.

This quarry is also the property of the clan. In terms of seniority, the legal representative Zhao Xu is called the emperor's uncle. The current judge is Zhao Zongsheng, the king of Gaomi County.

Zhao Zongsheng was also an anomaly in the clan. He loved ancient learning and had tens of thousands of volumes of books in his family. When Renzong honored him, he specially used the Imperial Academy's books.

On weekdays, the children in the family were strictly restrained. They were only allowed to study with the salary given by the court and were not allowed to interfere in good properties. Their friendship with Su You was mostly based on exchanging books.

Even when the four links were divided, he donated all his proceeds to the charity fund.

As long as poetry and etiquette are passed down from generation to generation.

After Zhao Xu came to the throne, he felt that this was outrageous. The current royal family expenses were being cut again and again. Compared with his father's time, it had already been cut by three-quarters by the imperial grandmother.

If he continued to do what he did, this branch would probably be defeated after his death, so he asked Su You to take care of it politely.

Su You still admired Zhao Zongsheng's character. Putting this man together with his cunning, greedy and stingy colleague Zhao Zonge, he would be like Ji Xiaolan and Heshen in later TV series.

Zhao Zonge's family owned a large number of shares in Huangsong Bank, ran Hefuxiang in the capital, owned mines and fleets in the South China Sea, and were extremely wealthy.

However, Zhao Zongsheng, who was much more noble in character, lived in poverty with tens of thousands of books.
