Shang Bao Sicheng Liu Ming came to his store again today. Since he adopted the brand sold by the Royal Industrial Company, Jinyi's silver has been drilled into his pocket like flowing water.

Liu Ming was very satisfied with his clever behavior, and even looked down on those merchants who only knew how to sell it directly or honestly learned from the Royal Industrial Company. He also took the trademark "Hengxiang Monopoly" and went to the Ministry of Revenue to spend money.

In Liu Ming's opinion, this is stupid, and it is better to use the name of Royal Industries directly to get it faster.

He even often used this to ridicule the boss of "Hengxiang Monopoly" and proudly showed off his business skills that no one could match. He even secretly decided that one day he would have to go back to his hometown to see his father who had been scolding him for being ignorant.

He wants those people to see that he is not a prodigal son!

"How much money did you buy yesterday?" Liu Ming asked the shopkeeper and then opened the account book and checked it.

However, at this moment, the butler hurried into the store: "Uncle, it's not good, it's not good, the people from the Five City Military and Ma Si rushed over."

"What are you afraid of? The people from the Five City Military and Ma Si are probably here to arrest others, and they won't arrest us. Even if they have ten courage, they dare not." As soon as Liu Ming finished speaking, he saw a word outside the house surrounded by soldiers from the Five City Military and Ma Si.

Liu Ming couldn't help but feel a little funny, and said to the soldiers of the five cities: "I said, did you have gone to the wrong place? Don't he know what this place is? Don't he know whether this young master's identity is?"

Unexpectedly, at this time, Wang Guo, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, and the censor of the city came in.

"Oh, Uncle Shi, you are here, please accept a bow from my nephew." Liu Ming saw that Wang Guo was about to come and bow, but Wang Guo ignored him and said seriously: "After investigation, this store infringes on the trademark rights of the Royal Industrial Company, and the owner of this store, namely the Sicheng of Shangbao, will be directly taken down!"

Liu Ming was a little confused when he heard this. Before he could react, the two soldiers rushed in and wanted to arrest Liu Ming.

Liu Ming, who had just come back to his senses, quickly took a step back and asked, "No, Uncle Shi, what's wrong with you? Why are you not a favor? And what's wrong with us? What's more, we infringe on the Royal Industrial Company or the trademark, that's a fictitious matter. We sell ours and they sell theirs. Even if we did steal the name "Royal Monopoly", it's not a serious crime. What's more, the next house also uses the name "Hengxiang Monopoly". Why don't you arrest them?"

"They registered with the Ministry of Revenue, called trademark rights. Do you understand, they are protected by the imperial court! And you are suspected of infringing on other people's trademark rights and ordered to stop modifying them many times without listening. Severe measures must be taken today!"

Wang Guo said, then shouted: "I have already entered the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate. Liu Ming's official position has been removed. Now you can take him down and throw him into prison!"

At the same time, Wang Guo waved his hand and ordered: "Go in and confiscate all the property in the store, and directly serve as compensation for the losses of the Royal Industrial Company!"

Suddenly, countless soldiers rushed in and began to loot the silver dollars in the store, and moved out some silver mirror glass that had not been sold, while the other furnishings in the store were smashed out.

Liu Ming complained when he saw this. His profits that he had worked hard for nearly half a year were wasted.

Finally, Liu Ming couldn't help but curse Wang Guo, saying that he had taken the money from him and his father, but he still didn't make decisions for him.

In the end, Wang Guo had to let someone block Liu Ming's mouth.

This trademark infringement case was not a big shocking event at this time, but in the eyes of later scholars, the case of this trademark infringement case became the first typical case of trademark infringement disputes in the Ming Dynasty and was written into Zhu Youxiao's record.

...

The trademark infringement case not only made merchants understand the importance of registering a trademark, but also allowed people in the capital to truly experience the difficulty of the Royal Industrial Company.

Royal Industries is once again well known, and sales revenue has once again increased significantly.

This also made Zhu Youxiao truly feel the benefits brought by industries such as glass and silver mirror manufacturing, but Zhu Youxiao did not just want glass as a profitable product.

Most often, glass is also a material with a wide range of uses, of course not just for windows.

Glass itself is a corrosion-resistant material and is transparent and easy to observe. Therefore, it is a good experimental tool. For example, test tubes, coolers, petri dishes, etc. all need to be made of glass as the material.

Not only that, with mature glass manufacturing technology, glass can also be processed into necessary tools for scientific research and military research and military, such as microscopes and telescopes.

Now, some academicians of the Royal Academy of Engineering have begun to be responsible for the project on microscopes and telescope manufacturing. The leader of the project is Chen Laitou's eldest son Chen Zhang. Now Zhu Youzhao has abolished the craftsmanship system. According to Chen Laitou's original intention, he wanted his son to retire with his father-in-law Liu Ge Lao, who asked for teaching and taking the imperial examination in the future. However, Chen Zhang is obviously more interested in scientific research, and now all kinds of skills have been paid more and more attention, and Chen Laitou is not opposed.

However, the manufacturing of microscopes and telescopes is not difficult, and Zhu Youxiao did not expect researchers to manufacture them quickly, but the information and physical objects purchased through the system were already there, so he did not believe that these Ming people could not imitate this.

The applied research of the Royal Academy of Engineering is in full swing, but the basic research of the Royal Academy of Engineering has not fallen behind.

Today, Zhu Youxiao went to the Royal Academy of Sciences after the morning court.

The Royal Academy of Sciences is close to the Hanlin Academy, and the current Hanlin Academy is almost equivalent to the Academy of Social Sciences. Zhu Youxiao will always assign them some tasks such as stating the population of the Ming Dynasty, the total grain output or the total acres of arable land, which makes few people in the Hanlin Academy have free time to study the Four Books and Five Classics.

However, the people of the Royal Academy of Sciences were very free. When Zhu Youxiao arrived, he saw Xu Guangqizheng wearing a straw hat and rolling his legs in a small piece of land in the yard.

Mao Yuanyi sat aside and kept adding coal to the iron furnace. The iron furnace was a boiler, and the connected pipe was a steam pipe designed by Mao Yuanyi according to Zhu Youxiao's suggestion. After the water vapor generated after heating entered the steam pipe, it directly pushed the piston and sliding gate to rotate the wheels, thereby generating mechanical power. What Mao Yuanyi is doing now is to create the first steam engine of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Mao Yuanyi has failed several times. Sometimes it is either bad air tightness or the hot water vapor is not enough to push the piston.

If Zhu Youxiao remembers it correctly, this should be the fifth experiment conducted by Mao Yuanyi.

Going further in, there are more scientific researchers, standing in front of a blackboard, writing some Ming Dynasty mathematical symbols that even Zhu Youxiao could not understand, some rolling around on a slope with a ball, and some burning a large pot of liquid that Zhu Youxiao didn't know.
