Returning to the back house of the Guangdong Governor's Yamen, Chen Kai looked at the urgent military intelligence report with words written all over it.

He had already anticipated Sun Kewang's internal crimes, because Sun Kewang was riding a tiger and could no longer give up his rights. As for the Yongli court, it was even more impossible to return to the state of Yongli's six-year counterattack - Yongli

The emperor couldn't accept it, the ministers in the DPRK couldn't accept it, and Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu couldn't accept it.

It is inevitable for the two sides to get ready for a battle. Even if there is an incident involving the fall of Chenzhou, which leads to the postponement of the internal strife, it is just a postponement. To put it clearly, without Hong Chengchou, the Qing court's rule in Huguang would have been long ago

After it is over, there will be no problem of the fall of Chenzhou; and with Hong Chengchou here, it is absolutely impossible for him to fail to see that taking over the city of Chenzhou will do more harm than good to the Qing court. Since the Qing court does not

He may attack Sun Kewang to the death, and then Sun Kewang will definitely initiate internal strife, because for him, the longer it drags on, the less likely he is to win.

The internal strife broke out as expected, and ended in an unexpected way. It seemed unexpected, but it was completely different for Chen Kai. This was not only because he knew this period of history, but more importantly,

He knows very well what people's hearts are thinking at the moment.

"When I suggested that Li Dingguo enter Yunnan, I knew that such a day would come. Sun Kewang, Sun Kewang, it seems that in this life, he has no destiny to personally command a war and win. The last time Zhoujiapu was about to win, the result was overwhelming. This time

It happened again and again. The only difference was that last time we lost because of human effort, but this time we lost because of the general trend.”

In this battle, no matter how Li Dingguo directs it, the chance of winning is actually very slim. The key lies in the opponent's mistakes. This is a gap in hard power that cannot be easily reversed by manpower. And Sun Kewang's strategic layout and on-the-spot command in this battle

, in fact, they did very well, at least they made fewer mistakes than Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu. But in the end, Li Dingguo not only won, but also won very easily.

In the final analysis, Li Dingguo won this battle not because of his military talent, nor because of Bai Wenxuan's reaction, but because of the will of the people. Even if there was no Bai Wenxuan, there would still be Hei Wenxuan.

Huang Wenxuan jumped out and said that Sun Kewang was unpopular in fighting a civil war at this time. No matter how strong he was in law and technique, he could not defeat the general trend.

After reading the report, Chen Kai stopped his planned work and instead wrote a letter to Zheng Chenggong based on the above content. This matter was too important, and Zheng Chenggong had to notify it as soon as possible, because Chen Kai always had a hidden worry

in my heart.

"Next, Sun Kewang should surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and the Manchu and Qing Dynasties will march into Yunnan and Guizhou."

Pressure came over him, and he couldn't help but frown slightly. Chen Kai wrote a letter and sent someone to Fujian overnight. He thought about it for a moment, but did not do anything in particular. Instead, he returned to the urgent letter.

In the middle of work interrupted by military situation.

Early the next morning, Chen Kai reported the general information to the generals in Guangdong. The generals gave different opinions and expressed their opinions from different angles. Chen Kai did not take it too seriously because he knew that this was the case.

It has already happened, and the general trend in the southwest is still rolling. What he can do is not to forcefully intervene in it, but to do his own things well, so that he will have a greater chance of winning in the next time.

Chen Kai specially called Wang Jiang and Cao Conglong to discuss the matter that he had mentioned to Kuang Lu before, and discussed it with the two officials responsible for civil affairs and litigation, and then went to the Advisory Bureau to hold a meeting.

"I have decided to sell earthworm farming and Chaozhou breeding farm-related technology for one tael of silver. As long as you pay the silver, you can get relevant technical information and paid training."

The breeding farm established by Chen Kai in Chaozhou played a significant role in stabilizing the skyrocketing manure prices in Chaozhou, which also caused the market prices of chicken and eggs to decrease to a certain extent.

Such an impact has both advantages and disadvantages in many aspects. However, from a purely commercial perspective, the existence of the breeding farm enriched the meat supply of the Chaozhou army at that time. The officers and soldiers were very happy. However, the increased production capacity

It has never been actively expanded, and people who are interested in running such a business do not dare to use related technologies rashly due to Chen Kai's status, so that Chaozhou breeding farms are still where they used to be, nothing more.

During this time, Chen Kai sold the technology, and with the paperwork in black and white, those who were interested in running such a business could feel at ease. However, the price of one tael of silver was actually equivalent to free money, because this production method was not suitable for it.

Ordinary farmers must produce on a large scale, and scale itself requires financial support.

In the Great Hall of the Conference Board, Chen Kai made these words clear, and then announced the training fees for paid training, which were only labor in amount.

Such a statement won unanimous praise from the venue. However, some members soon put forward ideas. According to his words, Chen Kai was right to do this, but he should use this as an example to establish relevant

Systems and regulations must be extended.

"What Councilor Dong said is true, and I also feel the same way."

"I also feel that this move can protect the interests of those who have worked hard to develop new technologies."

"..."

The people who can sit here are all human beings. Everyone here suddenly realized that they not only strongly expressed their agreement, but also cited reasonable and unreasonable reasons one after another. In short, they asked Chen Kai to vote in the Advisory Bureau.

Whether relevant systems and regulations have been formulated,

"From the very beginning when I came up with the idea of ​​establishing the Advisory Bureau, I believed that the Advisory Bureau could live up to its name and be able to speak for the people and fill in the gaps for the government. Today, it seems that I was not wrong, and you are indeed serious about it.

Fulfill the rights and obligations assigned to you by the Advisory Council.”

Applauding, Chen Kaidang even expressed his approval of the motions proposed by these congressmen. After going through the normal process, the vote on whether to formulate relevant systems and regulations started like other motions voted on in this conference hall.

And at the end, the final result, not surprisingly, is the need to formulate relevant systems and regulations.

This is not flattery, this is the pursuit of power, or theft - in theory, the law in Guangdong today is still the "Da Ming Law", because this is the area controlled by the Ming Dynasty. The "Da Ming Law" was formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang

Yes, the legislative power lies with the Ming Dynasty, and now, the Advisory Council is also establishing systems and regulations. It is completely different from the system they established before the Advisory Council. They are formulating a system that will be implemented by other governments and widely applicable to ordinary people.

and regulations, which means that the Advisory Council actually has legislative power!

Sitting in the venue, Chen Kai silently watched this gluttonous feast without saying a word, just like a bystander, watching them have a heated discussion on relevant systems and regulations. It was not until a long time later that he stood up.

Come, hold down the other voices, stand in front of the stage and say the last thing to do.

"I am very pleased to see you working so hard to discuss the welfare of the people. However, the formulation of the "Patent Rights Act" involves a lot of civil affairs and litigation. In my humble opinion, it is not as good as

The Advisory Bureau invites officials from the Chief Envoy Si Yamen and the Inspection Envoy Si Yamen to conduct targeted inquiries and discussions, so as to avoid the possibility of working behind closed doors."

Theoretically, the legislative power is in the central government, and local governments only have judicial and administrative rights. However, in the current troubled times, the central government is powerless and the vassals and towns have their own ways. Chen Kai has the right to formulate relevant systems and regulations. However, these systems and regulations are only

It is Chen Kai's personal behavior. When the center is weak, it will default to it. Once the center regains its strength, it can regain its power by defeating Chen Kai.

This has been the case at all times and in all countries. For this reason, Chen Kai established the Advisory Bureau to tie up more people and add weight to the system. In this case, the Advisory Bureau must coexist and connect with administrative agencies and judicial agencies, so as not to

Be reduced to a dispensable existence.

"Chief Rudder, why don't you just use the Heaven and Earth Society to control the government instead of setting up a consultation bureau?"

During the discussion, Cao Conglong asked this directly in front of Wang Jiang. This was nothing embarrassing for Wang Jiang, who had become a member of the Tiandi Society.

Chen Kai, on the other hand, gave Cao Conglong a special look, and then explained: "The future of the Ming Dynasty, if the ZTE is realized, will also be a state where all heroes will rule together. We cannot bring everyone into the Tiandihui, even if

They all have their own interests, and they may not be of the same mind as us. If you still want to control the court with the help of the Heaven and Earth Society, you will fall into the old model of Donglin and the Eunuch Party. The only way to establish

A power organization uses the power of the gentry to limit the power of the monarch and reduce the impact of the emperor's personal likes and dislikes on the party to an acceptable level. Only then will we have the opportunity to truly become bigger and stronger."

Chen Kai said this to these two people, and after thinking about it, they also expressed that they could understand and accept it. Immediately afterwards, regarding the formulation of the "Patent Rights Act", the Advisory Bureau asked the Chief Envoy Si Yamen and the Inspector Si Yamen

The invitation was sent out and received a positive response from the two chief officials. Not only were they present in person, they also brought in a group of relevant officials to discuss and fully cooperate with the Advisory Bureau in formulating relevant systems and regulations.

“It is necessary to establish an agency to manage patent protection in the provincial governor’s office and at the state government level.”

"Where should the maintenance costs come from? We can't use the people's financial support, right?"

"Then a certain proportion of tax is collected from the patent income. The reason why it is a certain proportion, not a certain amount, is that the setting of the patent fee is the personal behavior of the patent holder, so more or less

Not necessarily. If someone is really willing to benefit the people and charge very little patent fees or no fees, then do we still have to pay for it?"

"..."

"Since the patent holder has collected fees and the government has also collected taxes, I believe that severe penalties should be imposed on groups and individuals who use it privately without consent!"

"That's how it should be. You can't condone adultery."

"Then what about the past?"

"Well, this is to the point. I think there should be a time limit, and it must be reported to the government. Otherwise, do we still have to take care of things that were hundreds of years ago?"

"..."

Officials from the Chief Envoy Si Yamen and the Inspection Envoy Si Yamen were having a heated discussion with the members of the Council on related matters. Among them, compromise was the most essential, especially the Guangdong Commercial Alliance within the Council.

They already have great influence, and they use too many technologies. If there is a need to pay patent royalties, it will undoubtedly increase the cost.

These people are willing to oppose, but due to Chen Kai, and even more due to the existence of the Advisory Bureau's own purpose of seeking power, their voices are very small. Chen Kai believes that copycats may be conducive to rapid development, but they do not attach importance to invention and creation.

The spirit of the company cannot provide sufficient protection in terms of interests. If it only relies on copycats, the more it develops, the less it will lack the ability to innovate independently.

To convert temporary rights into long-term rights, under Chen Kai's instruction, the Guangdong government and the Advisory Bureau played a double role, which can be said to be a joy.

The key to being able to do this lies in the decline of the center, which gave Chen Kai an opportunity to take advantage of it. If there is a strong center, it will be very difficult for the local government to pull off such a trick. For Chen Kai, the current opportunity

It's rare, because the situation in the southwest is still developing according to his prediction for the time being, but such development is ultimately unfavorable. He will always try to reverse the unfavorable situation, and once the situation is reversed, it is likely to be accompanied by the disappearance of opportunities.

, we must take advantage of now to take root in the Council.

The Advisory Bureau and the government used the Patent Rights Act as a breakthrough to encroach on legislative power. Those merchants who had previously received guarantees from the government and the Zheng Group came to the Yamen to provide proof of payment of taxes and licenses in exchange for the government's guarantee.

, after obtaining the guarantee, they set off for Fujian in order to minimize the losses suffered due to the ban on navigation.

The ban on navigation is undoubtedly the immediate priority of the two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong. Due to its influence, and thanks to Chen Kai, a guy who likes to mess around with nothing, it is also the autumn tax collection period, and Guangdong officials are all

I was so busy that I fell asleep when I got home, and I didn't even have time to recite poems.

In comparison, Chen Kai, who has become accustomed to leaving actual official duties to his subordinates, has less to do with these official duties. However, organizations such as the Consultative Council, Tiandihui, and Guangdong Business Alliance also have a large number of people every day.

The matter is waiting for his review and processing, and even though he has handed over the affairs of the Guangdong Business Alliance to Zheng Xiyuan, it does not make it much easier for him.
