No matter how great a person is, it is difficult to escape the limitations of the times. This is true for Wei Yang, the philosophers in the world, and even Bai Dong himself.

Old Gan Long is already amazing. At least he is trying to digest the new concepts brought by Bai Dong. For example, invention and discovery are not difficult for future generations to understand, but it was very difficult to understand in the pre-Qin era when natural science research was almost zero. Bai Dong thought for a long time before finding a convincing example: "Uncle Gan is like sunshine. We all know that sunshine is the world that can help all things grow, but in ancient times, there would always be the first person to discover this truth, and there would be the first person to discover that sunshine can bring warmth to people. This process is the "discovery" described in the "Invention Patent Law". Do you think this can apply for a patent?"

"Of course, it cannot. Sunshine is created by heaven and earth. Even if someone is the first to discover it, he cannot take it for himself."

"That's it, so in this decree, it is necessary to exclude discovery. Only the corresponding inventions can apply for patents and enjoy rights. For example, the keys and ladders invented by the public losers are based on nature, but if there is no human wisdom addition, even if there is a hundred years or a thousand years, no one can suddenly "discover" them in nature. It is precisely because of the role of human wisdom that those who put in their mental strength should be rewarded and enjoy patent rights."

"If you give your mental strength, you should get rewards?"

Old Ganlong shook his head: "Boy, do you know that you look like a person?"

"My teacher?"

"No. Your bizarre means, foresight, and clever words are very similar to the legendary Mr. Guigu, but the thought I just showed was more like a person, and this person is Yang Zhu! I heard from someone that when you bid farewell to Wei Yang, you borrowed Yang Zhu's words to warn him, boy, tell Uncle Gan the truth. Do you have any old friends with Yang Zhu?"

Yang Zhu is indeed in this era!

Bai Dong did not answer Gan Long, but felt extremely excited. That was Yang Zhu! In the entire feudal era, Yang Zhu was criticized and insulted, saying that he was the "most self-interest person in the world". Even historians of history were unwilling to record anything about him. Archaeologists in later generations could not even figure out when he was born and where he died? Liezi said that he was a Taoist, but later researchers believed that he was a Legalist. He did not leave any works in his life, but there were two irrelevant allusions, "Mo Zi was sad about the silk, Yang Zhu cried with the road" and "Dog barked in black clothes".

Such a person who is not valued by history plays an important role in the history of Chinese legal affairs. It is highly praised by later generations because he proposed that "it is too much for the benefit of the world, and it is not enough for the whole world to take over. If everyone does not lose a little, everyone will not benefit the world, and then the world will be governed." This seemingly selfish remark is extremely selfish.

Or it seems that even Yang Zhu himself put forward the view of "rebirth of oneself" and believed that if everyone could cherish themselves and surpass others and could do it, then the world would be severely punished? Such rebellious remarks would not be severely criticized, not to mention the pre-Qin era, or in later China!

But later legal scholars saw the foresight of Yang Zhu's theory, believing that Yang Zhu was China and the first person in the history of world law to propose the view that "private property is sacred and inviolable" and "genius man-right". He was two thousand years earlier than the British and European Renaissance thinkers!

Perhaps Yang Zhu is selfish, but he is so selfish that he founded his own school. He has been walking in the thorns and scolding for more than 2,300 years and has been scolded until today... But Bai Dong, a legal person, is very interested in him. Hearing that Yang Zhu is indeed in this era, how can he not be excited? Wei Yang is so stingy about language. He just scolded Yang Zhu a few words that day. Where did Old Gan Long say so clearly?

"You really have an old age with Yang Zhu? Otherwise, why would you look happy when you hear his name? Boy, do you know what kind of person Yang Zhu is? This person is rude and introverted, and he is rebellious in everything he says and does. Don't have any involvement with him, otherwise even uncle can't save you."

"Uncle Gan thought too much. I don't know Yang Zhu, but I really want to see how weird this person is. Don't you scare me. Yang Zhu lives well, and he hasn't seen anyone kill him, right?"

"Hmph, killing means not killing, but you will be scolded to death! Boy, Uncle Gan thinks that your idea of ​​patent is similar to Yang Zhu. You need to know that the Zhou emperor lives in all the world and divides the princes, and then the king will control the land and the people. Even the body and life belong to the king. Does this "invention" created by the body belong to himself? Not to mention that you did not distinguish between nobles and the people in the laws. Is it not that the people have "invention", and the nobles and the emperor also have to spend money to buy it? Have you ever thought that such a law will be criticized by many nobles? Boy, your foundation is still shallow. Not to mention you, even if I want to propose such a law, I will be extremely cautious! Alas, I really don't know what the emperor thought, but it will actually respond to you..." Gan Long sighed repeatedly, and could see that he was really worried about Bai Dong.

Bai Dong didn't say anything, but just looked at Lao Ganlong seriously, and felt a burst of warmth in his heart. In later TV dramas, he portrayed Lao Ganlong as a representative of the old forces that hindered the reform and a cunning conspirator, which was really too extreme. This is an old man who often thinks about serving the country, and he will also be kind to his nephews and elders. Wei Yang's reforms cannot be wrong. After all, he made contributions to Lao Qin. Is it wrong to oppose the reform? It's just that his political views are different...

Moreover, no matter how old Ganlong treats others, he is really kind to himself. He is really afraid that he will offend the nobles of the whole country. No wonder he wants to call himself home to speak, it is not appropriate to change occasions.

He stood up and bowed deeply to Lao Gan Long. This was not a visit to Lao Qin's senior doctor, but a respect for an elder who loved him: "Uncle Gan doesn't have to worry about me. All you see is that the people obtain patents, which seems to be disrespectful to the emperor, but never saw that invention patents will bring great benefits to the government and the emperor. Please think, when there was no patent law in the past, were some inventions that could bring great benefits used by the government? No! On the contrary, the nobles benefited a lot and were often occupied by them first. Although these inventions were still unable to leave national boundaries in the end, this first benefit had nothing to do with the government. After all, even if the emperor was the emperor, it would not be too good to 'plunder' the ministers..."

"Well...if your invention patent law is implemented, although these patents are subject to individuals, they must be actually used. When used, regardless of transfer or transaction, the government can benefit from it? Is this equivalent to dividing the interests of the aristocratic families and enriching the deposit?"

"Uncle is amazing, that's right. There is another benefit. In the past, some inventions were only needed by nobles, so they would invest manpower and material resources to research and development. Ordinary people or geniuses with inventions would not invest their energy and time because they had no interests. If there is promotion of patent law, any talented person who yearns for their hearts can imagine the result. It won't take long for me, Lao Qin, to have more inventions that benefit the country and the people. Uncle, don't underestimate the wisdom of the people, Qianshou, you need to know that Mozi is also from the people!"

"I underestimated you. Now it seems that your decree is extraordinary! All countries in Shandong often laugh at me, "There is no talent and the people are confused." Old Qin has a weak foundation, so it is very difficult to produce a Confucius. But if you have this decree to promote it, you may not lose to them if you want to produce some skilled craftsmen similar to the public losers!"

Old Gan Long laughed: "But in this way, he will even offend the Qin nobles. If he didn't love you as a boy, even the Gan family would regard you as an enemy, how should you solve this problem?"

"No need to solve it. Uncle Gan regards me as his nephew. If the emperor supports me, what are I afraid of? If you offend them, you will offend me. If you have any infamy, I will resist you!" Bai Dong smiled and said, "But I believe that if this infamy cannot be overwhelmed for a long time, they will thank me in turn."

"You boy mean..."

Old Ganlong pondered for a long time, suddenly his eyes lit up, and finally figured out the key point. Looking back at his son who was still confused, he sighed without realizing it. If Bai Dong was his son, he would have woken up from laughing in his dream.

"Boy, although you have a thorough idea and have me as your backing, it is not easy to be hated by the nobles and families too deeply. I know that you have no way to relieve your legislation at the beginning, so I will find a way to build more prestige, just like you defend Wei Yang and make another contribution to Lao Qin. At that time, even if someone hates you, he will not dare to take action easily."

"I want to do it too... But Uncle Gan, such a contribution cannot be achieved by just trying to make it happen." Bai Dong was a little helpless.

"Haha, you kid stayed in your door and didn't show up all day long and naturally had news. Why didn't Jingjian tell you? There is a great opportunity to build your prestige now."

Old Gan Long smiled slightly: "The world's most selfish person, Yang Zhu, a verbal quarrel, entered Qin..."
