However, after Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he fled back to Chenliu. With the help of his good friend Wei Hong, he sent troops to forge edicts and recruited Yi soldiers. There was a native of Julu, Shanyang, with the surname Li, named Dian and named Mancheng, and led hundreds of people to join Cao Cao. There was a man from Wei, and Le Wenqian led more than 1,000 people to join Cao Cao. There was Yu Jin from Juping, Taishan, and Yu Wenze led more than 1,000 local brave men to join Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was kept as a tent official. There was also Xiahou Dun, a native of Qiao County, Pei State, whose courtesy name was Yuanrang, and was descended from Xiahou Ying. He learned guns and sticks since he was a child. At the age of 14, he was insulted by his army. Xiahou Dun insulted his army, and Xiahou Dun killed him and fled to the outside world. Now he heard that Cao Cao raised an army and led more than a thousand heroes to compete with his clan brother Xiahou Yuan. These two were originally Cao Cao

Brothers: Cao Cao's father Cao Song was originally the son of the Xiahou clan. He was from the house and the Cao family, so he was of the same clan. In a few days, Cao Ren and Cao Hong each led more than a thousand soldiers to help. Cao Ren's courtesy name Zixiao and Cao Hong's courtesy name Zilian. The two were skilled in bows and horses and were proficient in martial arts. Cao Ren, especially Cao Ren, had a high degree of research on military tactics. Cao Cao was very happy and trained military horses in the village and recruited soldiers and horses. Wei Hong of Chenliu was originally a big merchant and was also very rich. He was also very good friends with Cao Cao. When he saw Cao Cao's uprising, he immediately became a monk and helped Cao Cao build clothes, armor and flags. At the same time, the wealthy families around him heard that after Cao Cao got up, they also sent food continuously, and countless people were there.

One day in early December of the sixth year of Zhongping (189), the guards came to his home to call Lu Ning, saying that it was Cao Cao's messenger. The adults were waiting for Lu Ning. As soon as Lu Ning entered the office, he said to Cao Cao's messenger: "Is it a manifesto of Brother Meng De?"

The messenger was stunned after hearing this and said, "How can you know it's a manifesto?"

Lu Ning smiled and asked Sima to read the manifesto aloud and said, "Cao and others are willing to inform the world with great righteousness: Dong Zhuo deceives the heavens and the earth, destroys the country and kills the monarch; filthy palaces and bans, harms living beings; wolves are unkind and unkind, and their sins are accumulated! Now, according to the secret decree of the emperor, we gather the righteous soldiers and swear to wipe out the Huaxia and kill all the evil spirits. We hope that the righteous army will vent our public anger together; support the royal family and save the people. The manifesto can be carried out quickly until the day of the day!"

Lu Ning said: "When you go back and tell Brother Meng De, you will say that I, Lu Ning, immediately reorganize the troops and lead the troops to help Meng De."

The messenger said, "Thank you, sir, I will go back and tell our lord now."

After Cao Cao's messenger left, Lu Ning said to Tian Chou: "Zi Tai, inform civil and military officials from all over the country to arrange their work and defense matters, and immediately return to Jinyang to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the specific matter of our dispatch of troops to attack Dong Zhuo."

Tian Chou said: "It's the lord, I'll arrange it right away."

Lu Ning continued: "Let's study the law, and I want to formulate two new laws: one is the 'transaction law'; the other is the 'trademark and patent law'."

Everyone was stunned after hearing this. What kind of trick is this? I haven't heard of it. Even the name is a monster, and the content is even unknown. Gu Yong looked at Lu Ning and said, "Lord, can you briefly introduce these two and the law to us. We really don't know what this is."

Lu Ning smiled and said, "I will first talk about the 'Trade Law': The purpose of the 'Trade Law' is to enable people to abide by the provisions of the contract in commodity trading and production and operation activities, and encourage people, merchants, factories, agencies, groups, government agencies, individuals, etc. to be trustworthy in production and life or in various production and operation activities, and to abide by the various matters stipulated in the contract. No matter what background any party to the contract has, they must strictly abide by the execution. Once the contract is signed, even if they know that they are suffering a loss, they must also execute it unconditionally. With this law, not only can the parties to the contract be restricted,

Can we also free up the resources of our government office? Aren’t you always asking for insufficient staff? With this law, many of our work and projects can be operated and completed by the people and merchants. We only need to supervise the quality of the project and pay the fees with the assistance of the supervisor. We don’t need anything to do. We have so much energy and manpower. In particular, some such as water conservancy projects, highway construction, city construction, strengthening of defense measures, and public welfare projects can be handed over to merchants to complete. We just need to pay according to the progress of the project."

After hearing this, Sima Lang shook his head and refused to agree. He said, "Brother, let's leave these projects to merchants and the people do them. Then we have no money to make money, and the government office will increase the cost? Why not? If we organize our own hands to do it, the cost will be reduced and there will be a little profit."

After hearing this, Lu Ning shook his head and said, "Fifth brother, you are very wrong with this idea. It is appropriate for us to let the people and merchants make some money when doing projects, so that our human resources will be released. Besides, our government office cannot handle everything. On the surface, we save money. In fact, if we include the various expenses of human resources we invest, it may be even more unprofitable. If we give it to merchants and the people do it, they will be very careful in everything, and we are really generous in managing it directly. That is really thankless. It is better to release human resources to do other things. We just need to keep the quality in check and pay according to the progress of the project."

After hearing this, Gu Yong thought to himself that it is really good to have this thing, it has a restraining official and a fair effect. "I think this method is very good. We may save money if we save trouble. Besides, this method has restrictions on all parties, and even the government office will not dare to do anything randomly. Then the people and merchants can complete it with confidence and boldness when operating. It is also conducive to the handling of disputes and other matters in production and operation activities. This is a good idea."

Sima Lang said: "Brother, what about another law?"

Lu Ning continued: "The 'Trademark and Patent Law' is a bit complicated. Simply put, if anyone goes to our house to register the name and appearance of the product, then the name and related appearance of the product will not be used by other people's products, nor can they produce products that are exactly the same as the shape of the product, otherwise it is illegal. This type is called the 'Trademark Law'. The patent law refers to the craftsmen inventing and creating a new technology or new process through their own efforts. As long as the inventor applies for a patent in our house, they will be

If protection is done, he will enjoy exclusive ownership of the technology or process. If others want to use this technology or process, they must obtain the consent of the patent holder, or the user must pay a certain fee to the owner of the patent. Of course, it is also possible to sell the patent to others at one time. In this way, we encourage technological innovation and protect the rights of the inventors at a certain time. Generally, the protection period is fifteen years. If the patent exceeds the age, the technology patent will be disclosed to the public, and then any technology can be used."
