I’m The King Chapter 1109: : East and West (102)

The palace is not as heavily guarded as Jiang Ke and his two imagined, and there is no one post at three steps, one sentry at five steps. There is a sign hanging at the door, marking the owners of some halls, and the people who come and go are naturally some officials. The two of them naturally don't know that the original huge palace of the Yan Dynasty now belongs to Gao Yuan. One third, and the rest, have been turned into offices of various government departments.

After walking for more than half an hour, the guards brought the two of them to the gate of Weimin Hall. He Weiyuan, who was guarding the gate, shook his head. He Weiyuan opened his mouth and said: "You three, come with me!"

Jiang Dalang, Ke Zhen, and Ning Yuan tremblingly followed behind He Weiyuan and walked towards the main hall. The three of them did not recognize He Weiyuan alone. tendon.

The Weimin Hall is a side hall, much smaller than the Qinzheng Hall where Gao Yuan usually summoned his officials. But even so, the three people who walked into the Weimin Hall were still shocked by this spacious and magnificent place Stay. Following behind He Weiyuan, the three of them did not dare to raise their heads at this time, only hearing He Weiyuan's voice.

"Wang Shang, Jiang Dalang, Ke Zhen, and Ning Yuan have been brought here."

Hearing this sound, the three of them fell to their knees in unison, and Jiang Dalang used his hands and feet together to climb a few steps forward, touching his head to the ground, and there was a thumping sound: "Wang Shang Shengming, Wang Shang Shengming , I beg your majesty to be the master of the grassroots!"

Originally, Jiang Dalang had given up any hope. He naturally knew about the verdict of the official Jingshou through some interested people, but he was suddenly brought up to the palace by the King of Han, which gave him a little hope. I sympathize with myself, otherwise I would never pay attention to such a trivial matter.

In Jiang Dalang's point of view, the matter between himself and Ke Zhen is naturally too small in the eyes of the king, but in the eyes of Gao Yuan, behind this matter is a huge matter It can't be a big thing.

Hearing Jiang Dalang's begging, Ke Zhen's body trembled violently. He naturally thought of what Jiang Dalang thought, and Ning Yuan beside him was already lying powerlessly on the ground, sweating profusely. I can speak.

"You three, get up!" Gao Yuan looked at the three kneeling in front of him and said calmly.

"The grass people dare not, the grass people dare not!"

"Your Majesty tells you to get up, so get up!" Although He Weiyuan deliberately lowered his voice, the three of them trembled and got up quickly.

"Ning Yuan, is this the soap you developed?" On the table next to Gao Yuan, there were several square brown brick-like things.

Ning Yuan raised his head tremblingly. Next to the big case, Gao Yuan was dressed in casual clothes, washed a little white, and sat there very casually. At a glance, he was no different from ordinary people. Let his heart settle down a little bit. He glanced at the things on the big case and nodded: "Go back to the king, yes."

"Tell me how you made this thing?" Gao Yuan's voice was still faint.

Ning Yuan's body trembled violently, but he pressed his lips tightly together, and he didn't say a word. He Weiyuan was furious, "Ning Yuan, didn't you hear what the king said?"

Looking at Ning Yuan's reaction, Gao Yuan suddenly laughed, "This is the capital of his life, so naturally he refuses to say it easily, because once this thing is said, it is worthless, it's very simple. "

Jiang Dalang looked up at Gao Yuan in disbelief. If this thing is so simple, why did he spend so long and invest thousands of taels of silver?

Gao Yuan stretched out his hand to pick up the square on the table, and said with a smile: "This thing is actually made of oil and caustic soda mixed together, it's nothing unusual, Wei Yuan, it's simple, right?"

He Weiyuan opened his eyes wide, "It's so simple? Is it impossible?"

"Is there anything impossible? To put it bluntly, it is naturally simple, but it is not easy to be the first to discover that it can be made into soap in this way." Gao Yuan smiled and said: "Jiang Dalang, this Ningyuan man When did you go up?"

"Back to the king, Ning Yuan found me a year ago. Cao Min runs a grocery store. This Ning Yuan used to specialize in making saponin powder, and he has always sold it to Cao Min's shop. He found me a year ago. He took out a small piece of this soap and said that he has developed a new technology, this soap, but it is still immature, but he has no money, if I can subsidize him, this technology will belong to grassroots people in the future .”

"So you hired him as a master, and provided money and food every month, so you can let him concentrate on this work?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Yes, your majesty encourages new technology. Caomin saw that the small piece he brought was really effective in cleaning the stains, so he was moved. Over the past year, Caomin has given him thousands of taels of silver intermittently. But just after it succeeded, it was snatched away by the Ke family." Jiang Dalang glared at Ke Zhen.

Gao Yuan's gaze turned to Ke Zhen again, "Ke Zhen, did you find this Ning Yuan, or did this Ning Yuan come to find you?"

Ke Zhen was also extremely horrified at this time, "Going back to the king, this is the villain Ningyuan was looking for, saying that the Jiang family treated him badly and treated him harshly, and he is willing to take this soap to be with me Cooperation, he gave me this kind of cube, Xiaomin tried it, and it is really useful, this kind of new thing, there is no such thing in the market, Caomin thinks that as long as it is on the market, it will definitely make a fortune, who is Na Jiang Dalang Why don't you treat Ning Yuan well enough to let him invest in my family? So the villain promised to give him 10% of the shares and a monthly salary of one hundred taels of silver."

Gao Yuan smiled and looked at Ning Yuan, "Ning Yuan, you are really talented, of course, I am not talking about your talent in scientific research, this kind of soap making is not difficult, the key is the first Stepping out, I think, when you first approached the Jiang family, you were already able to make this thing, but you were very greedy, first squeezed the Jiang family's money for a year, and then used some People spread the word to the Ke family, which caused the Ke family to come to you with a higher price, right?"

Ning Yuan's teeth are fighting up and down, rattling.

Gao Yuan took a deep breath: "I still know more things, Ning Yuan, do you want me to tell you one by one?"

"My lord, my lord, my lord!" Ning Yuan fell to his knees with a bang.

Gao Yuan shook his head, "Although your character is not good, you are indeed the first to make this soap, but you haven't committed a capital crime. What do I want your life for? Wei Yuan, take this person down , send him out of the palace, give him a sum of money, and tell him that from now on, he will keep his mouth shut and dare to say one more word, and this life will be unnecessary.”

"Yes!" He Weiyuan nodded, stepped forward and picked up Ning Yuan who was trembling, and strode out.

"Both of you understand now? Although Ning Yuan invented this thing, he didn't understand the real market value of this thing. When he found out that Jiang Dalang, you were willing to give a thousand dollars to support him, it made him He had a little realization in his heart, but at this time he had already used so much money from you, and it would be difficult to negotiate a price with you again, so he went to the Ke family again, and the La Ke family entered the water, making the Ke family his As a shield, we can get more benefits from the Ke family.”

Although Jiang Dalang and Ke Zhen understood at this time, they still stared at each other like fighting roosters.

"I came to you today because this incident has become the introduction of a huge incident. The Great Council is already discussing formal legislation, and the name is called the Patent Protection Law. Whoever makes the first invention in the future, as long as Register in a special department and get the approval of the court, then the invention right of this thing belongs to him, and anyone who produces the same thing in the future must pay the inventor, so as to ensure the innovation of science and technology.”

Jiang Dalang was overjoyed when he heard this, "Your Majesty, although this thing was invented by Ning Yuan, but the villain invested thousands of taels of silver for it, the sovereignty of this thing should belong to me."

"Nonsense, Ning Yuan invented this thing a long time ago. He was just trying to cheat you out of your money. Your thousands of taels of silver were never used for this invention. He has already sold it to me now. I signed a peace treaty with him." Ke Zhen retorted.

"Okay, don't argue anymore, I have a solution here, do you think it is feasible?" Gao Yuan smiled.

"It all depends on the king's sage." The two nodded together.

"The two of you were also teased by Ning Yuan, so you got involved in this matter. Both of you spent a lot of money. Then, the ownership of this thing belongs to your two families. All in all, the principle of this thing is not difficult. If you two continue to fight like this, maybe another smart person will come up with it again, and you will be beaten. In my opinion, if the two of you do not cooperate on this, the establishment How about a workshop, working together and making a fortune together?”

Jiang Dalang and Ke Zhen looked at each other and nodded helplessly. Since the king has already spoken, what is there to argue about?

Gao Yuan picked up a piece of soap with a smile, and weighed it in his hand, "Actually, this thing is still the most elementary thing, and there may be many tricks in it! Today, the king is interested, so I will give it to you." Let me remind you that this soap can indeed clean stains, but the requirements of different applicable people are actually different. For example, ordinary people think it is good to have this, but some , I can’t help but feel that the shape of this thing is not very good-looking, isn’t it?” Gao Yuan sniffed, “And after washing with it, you can’t help but smell?”

"Yes, it does have a smell!" Ke Zhen nodded before using this thing.

"What if we add some special flavors in it? Can it change its original taste?" Gao Yuan smiled authentically.

"For another example, ordinary people can only use it to clean stains, but those noble ladies and ladies still want to protect their beautiful faces and delicate skin? Well, if you can Wouldn't it be better to add some middle grasslands?"

The two of them stared at Gao Yuan dumbfounded, and they couldn't figure out how the King, who manages so many things every day, would do research on this thing?

"If you agree, I think the Kingdom can provide some help in this regard."

Ke Zhen is smarter than Jiang Dalang. Hearing Gao Yuan's words, he immediately took a step forward and gave Gao Yuan a deep bow, "If that's the case, Caomin is willing to give half of the shares to the king. I just want to ask the general This item is designated as a product exclusively for the royal palace. In the future, the products produced in the workshops of the grass people can be printed with such a letter."

Gao Yuan was stunned at first, but then laughed, "You are a talent for doing business."

"The villain is also willing to give up half of the shares, just ask the king to name this product himself."

Listening to what the two said, Gao Yuan laughed out loud, and he became a major shareholder again without paying attention, "Okay, okay, let's call this thing Procter & Gamble from now on, Procter & Gamble brand soap, and there will be Procter & Gamble brand soap in the future Soap, blah, blah, blah!"
