Not to mention the turbulent storm in Chang'anfang, Li Chengdao and several old men were wandering slowly in the imperial city, but they were not shopping in brothels or gardens, but the Secretariat.

"Your Highness, I offended you today."

Dou Wei sued him while walking.

In the court today, Dou Wei proposed to abolish the equal-field system, but several middle-level officials led by Wei Zheng stood up and vigorously accepted the harm of the abolition of the equal-field system. Not only that, Wei Zheng also loudly scolded Dou Wei for using public interest for personal gain, with the purpose of annexing the land. He tried to abandon his official position and let Li Yuan understand the sinister intentions of the aristocratic family.

Wei Zheng's big fuss in the Heavenly Palace directly made Dou Wei, who was the inner historian, unable to come to Taiwan. The officials under Dou Wei were not able to sit still when they saw that the superiors were criticized, so they stood up to argue with Wei Zheng.

Not only that, officials from other aristocratic factions also began to attack Wei Zheng and several other Qingliu.

The court suddenly became like a vegetable market. Li Yuan was originally a female rabbit. He had no courage and courage and could not control the scene at all. When Wu Yurou behind him faced such a scene, she obviously didn't know how to deal with it. The scene was once deadlocked.

At this time, Li Chengdao knew that he could never stand up. Once he stood up, he would inevitably have to express his opinion. Should he support the abolition of the equal-field system? Or would he not support it?

Obviously, this practice of indulging in aristocratic families to annex the land can only be secretly. If he supports it openly, Li Chengdao is afraid that he will be sweared to death by trolls in history books.

So Li Chengdao stood there silently and didn't speak. Others only thought he was young and had just ascended the position of prince, especially when it came to the prime minister-level boss like Dou Wei. Being cautious is a very good choice. Not expressing his opinion is a maturity.

Only Dou Wei and Pei Ji were secretly watching Li Chengdao's every move from time to time from the corner of his eyes.

According to common sense, Wei Zheng was from the East Palace, or Li Jiancheng. When Li Chengdao entered the East Palace, he naturally took over the power of the East Palace, and Wei Zheng should be from Li Chengdao.

But the abolition of the equal-field system was what Li Chengdao implied that they did. What did Wei Zheng mean when he jumped out and fought hard at this time? How could anyone come out to oppose his master?

No matter how quarrels were in the court, it didn't matter whether Dou Wei or Pei Ji was. They just wanted to see Li Chengdao's attitude. What does this prince with deep hidden meaning mean? Do you really want to abolish the equal-field system?

However, seeing that Li Chengdao has not expressed his opinion, Pei Ji, as the Secretary of the Central Committee, made a quick decision and found a reason to suppress Wei Zheng and others. He proposed to abolish the equal-field system and then discuss it, and then retreated to the court.

After retiring from the court, Pei Ji, who was supposed to return to the Secretariat, was waiting for Li Chengdao outside the hall. Li Chengdao naturally knew what Pei Ji wanted to do, so he took the initiative to propose that he wanted to go to the Secretariat to study and visit the daily government affairs. Several people avoided other officials and had the opportunity to get along alone.

"Dou Laoyan is serious."

Li Chengdao said directly: "Chengdao is still young. Although he doesn't understand the equal-field system very well, Chengdao agrees very much with what Mr. Dou said in the court today. Under the auspices of you and Mr. Pei, the people lived and worked in peace and their national strength is booming. Since you said that the equal-field system is no longer suitable for today's Tang Dynasty, there must be your reason."

"As for Wei Zheng, he is just a straight-hearted person, he doesn't keep his mouth shut and has a stubborn mind. He doesn't think about the meaning behind the abolition of the equal-field system. He only knows that this is the rule of all dynasties and cannot be changed easily. Don't you know that the Tang Dynasty is very different from previous dynasties. His ideas are just self-confidence and stupid!"

"But what Wei Zheng did and thought for the people of the world, I hope Mr. Dou and Mr. Pei can take care of him more."

After Li Chengdao finished speaking, the stone in Dou Wei and Pei Ji finally fell to the ground.

From his words, you can clearly hear some points.

First: I, Li Chengdao, agrees with the abolition of the equal-field system.

Second: I, Li Chengdao, respect you Dou Wei and Pei Ji, and I will not come to your position.

Third: What Wei Zheng did today was not what I asked him to do, but he is my man. You can't move, you can refrigerate, but you can't suppress it.

Dou Wei and Pei Ji both became spiritual figures. After Li Chengdao's conversation, the two of them clearly felt his neither humble nor arrogant temperament, and also understood Li Chengdao's attitude and bottom line.

"Hahaha, Prince, I am abrupt. The matter of abolishing the equal land system needs to be discussed and discussed carefully by the three provinces and six ministries before making a decision."

Pei Ji said with a smile.

"Then I'll bother Mr. Pei and Mr. Dou."

Li Chengdao changed the subject: "But there is one thing that Mr. Pei can ask the Secretariat to discuss."

"Oh, what's the matter? You actually have to trouble the prince, you personally ask."

Pei Ji's eyes moved slightly and he said calmly.

"In fact, it's not a big deal. What Chengdao said today is also a small proposal. It also requires Mr. Pei and Mr. Dou, as well as everyone in the Secretariat, to weigh the trade-offs."

"Chengdao wants to establish a new bill, called Patent Law. The purpose of establishing the Patent Law is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of those inventors, encourage the inventions and creations of the state and the people, promote the application of inventions and creations, improve innovation capabilities, and promote all-round technological progress, so as to enable all aspects of society to develop in a better direction."

Li Chengdao said with a smile, Pei Ji and Dou Wei also listened patiently.

"What do you mean is that if someone does something new, others cannot imitate it?" Pei Ji frowned slightly, unable to understand why this is the case. If others cannot imitate it, wouldn't this thing be impossible to promote it? What's the point of invention?

"It's not that it cannot be imitated, it cannot be imitated within a specific time, such as 5 years or 10 years. After this period is over, others can imitate it, or they need to obtain the consent of the inventor, and others can only imitate it. To put it simply, you imitate my things and you must give me money."

Li Chengdao glanced at Pei Ji meaningfully.

"For example, if you have a technology to purify salt, then other people can use this technology to purify salt unless you agree with Mr. Pei. Otherwise, it is illegal to not obtain your consent. All personal income will be confiscated, and in serious cases, it will even be imprisoned."

When Pei Ji heard Li Chengdao's words, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Of course, Mr. Pei, you can also authorize Mr. Dou to produce it. The condition is that you must give 10 cents for every pound of salt produced. In this way, if you have this technology and do not want to produce it yourself due to funds or various reasons, you can use a patent to get the benefits you deserve."

Pei Ji and Dou Wei completely understood this explanation. While understanding it, they were also applauding Li Chengdao's idea. Isn't this patent method tailored to Li Chengdao's technique to purify salt for them?

Once the patent law was passed, they didn't have to worry about the outflow of the technology of purifying salt. Whoever dared to use it, just arrest it directly. The Pei family and Dou family mobilized the entire family to meditate for more than ten days, and studied how to use the method to prevent the technology from being stolen by other families. Unexpectedly, Li Chengdao solved it in a few words.

The prince’s behavior was really to help him get on the horse and send him a trip, and he sent him to the West!

"The prince is a great talent. If the Tang Dynasty can get the prince, it is a blessing for the people and the world!"

Lee Chengdao quickly returned the gift. The moment he lowered his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, as long as there is profit, things will be much easier.

In the patent law, Li Chengdao took the first step in taking charge of the Tang Dynasty.
