“Your Highness, do you mean that even if we publicize the forging technique, the owners.h.i.+p of the forging technique will still belong to our Huaxia Pavilion?”

s.h.i.+ Songtao had already divided the Huaxia Pavilion and the Great Xia Forging Division. The Huaxia Pavilion was the Huaxia Pavilion, and the Great Xia Forging Division was the Great Xia Forging Division. In his opinion, the Huaxia Pavilion was no longer a subordinate organization of the Great Xia Forging Division.

“That’s right. In the Forging Division, if a forger develop a weapon, they can enjoy the benefits when the Forging Division sells the weapon.” Zhou Shu nodded.

The Great Xia Forging Division had such a system, but it was only implemented loosely. The Forging Division didn’t supervise enough, so there were many problems.

“I call this system patents. It can also be called intellectual property,” Zhou Shu said.

“Patents? Intellectual property?” s.h.i.+ Songtao looked puzzled. He couldn’t guess what these words meant at all.

“Yes. For example, if you develop a weapon, it’s equivalent to owning the patent. In the future, no one can take away your patent even if they learn the forging method of this weapon. They can learn the forging method, but they have to pay you a certain fee for every weapon they forge according to this forging method. It’s called a patent fee,” Zhou Shu explained.

s.h.i.+ Songtao’s eyes flickered. He quickly a.n.a.lyzed what Zhou Shu said. In fact, every nation had a prototype for this system, but it was not as clear as what Zhou Shu said.

“This patent is not only a secret forging formula for a weapon but also includes the art of forging, which is intellectual property. For example, if Streaming Water Sound Technique is your patent, and if I use the Streaming Water Sound Technique to forge a weapon, then a portion of the profits of this weapon will belong to you.”

“Your Highness, I think I understand what you mean.” s.h.i.+ Songtao pondered. “But who cares about such things? Who defines the owners.h.i.+p of a patent? Who can guarantee that the patent owners’ rights will be protected after they make the patent public?”

“Good question.” Zhou Shu approved. “This is the responsibility of our Huaxia Pavilion.

“In my opinion, the reason why the Heavenly Mountain Villa set up the Armament Manual is that they want to see the world in chaos. They are irresponsible,” Zhou Shu continued. “Our Huaxia Pavilion is different. Our goal is to make the art of forging prosper. It is our duty to implement patents.

“In the future, our Huaxia Pavilion can set up an organization specially responsible for registering patents. As long as you obtain a patent confirmed by our Huaxia Pavilion, you will be protected by our Huaxia Pavilion.

“A forger can study patents at the Huaxia Pavilion. At the same time, they must abide by the rules of patents. If anyone violates the interests of the patent owners…”

Zhou Shu’s eyes flashed with killing intent.

“Then our Huaxia Pavilion still needs a powerful law enforcement force.”

s.h.i.+ Songtao pondered. He had already thought of the difficulty of implementing this matter.

This matter would definitely be beneficial to the development of forging in the long run. But it would definitely infringe on the interests of some people.

To accomplish this was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Even the imperial families of the various nations might not be able to do it.

After all, once the forging techniques and secret forging formulas were made public, how others would use them would completely depend on others. The power of a nation’s imperial family was limited to a nation. Outside the borders, they couldn’t control what others did.

Then again, if Zhou Shu did this…

He was the king of nine nations, the number one martial artist in the Ten Nations, and the number one forger in the Ten Nations!

No one in the world could ignore his words.

If he forcefully implemented this patent system, the imperial family of the nine nations would probably not refuse.

As for Great Wei…

There was no need to think about them.

Even so, s.h.i.+ Songtao muttered, “Your Highness, this will be extremely difficult to accomplish.”

“Of course.” Zhou Shu smiled. Even in his previous life, the protection of intellectual property was a huge problem. “No rush. One step at a time. At the very least, we should test it out in our Huaxia Pavilion’s Demon Realm branch.

“Let’s gain some experience here. In the future, when we return to the Ten Nations, we’ll promote it in all aspects.”

Zhou Shu patted s.h.i.+ Songtao’s shoulder and continued, “As long as the direction is right, it doesn’t matter if the road is longer. I believe that sooner or later, our Huaxia Pavilion will be able to do it.”

s.h.i.+ Songtao’s mood fluctuated. If this idea could succeed, the Huaxia Pavilion could definitely become a top faction in the world, even surpa.s.sing the existence of the Ten Nations’ imperial families!

Speaking of which, as long as the Huaxia Pavilion reached this status, the world’s forgers would have to obey it.

“I understand. I swear that for this, I, s.h.i.+ Songtao, am willing to sacrifice everything in my life. I will not regret it!” s.h.i.+ Songtao said solemnly.

“Don’t make it sound so tragic.” Zhou Shu smiled. “We’ll just do our best. Even if we can’t completely achieve it, we still have to do it later.

“What you have to do now is to perfect the system according to what I’ve said. At the very least, you have to test it out in our Huaxia Pavilion’s Demon Realm branch.”

Zhou Shu continued, “We can let Li Chengliang and the others register their patents first. In the future, as long as the Huaxia Pavilion uses the weapons produced by their forging formulas, we can give them a certain amount of benefits. Here, we can replace them with points.

“In addition, we can get Li Chengliang and the others to form a patent review committee. Any patent that comes to be registered must be guaranteed to be unique and also ensured on who the patent belongs to. I don’t want anyone to register other people’s techniques.”

s.h.i.+ Songtao memorized everything Zhou Shu said. Zhou Shu had only given him a rough idea of the patent system, and there were still many details to consider before it was perfected.

These things were naturally s.h.i.+ Songtao’s matters.

“That’s about it. You can perfect the details,” Zhou Shu said casually. “Most importantly, our Huaxia Pavilion must be fair and convince everyone. It’s not easy to build a reputation. Deputy Pavilion Master, you have to be extremely careful.”

“Don’t worry, Your Highness. One day, our Huaxia Pavilion’s patent system will be more trustworthy than the Armament Manual of the Heavenly Mountain Villa!” s.h.i.+ Songtao promised.

Zhou Shu nodded. “Alright, go ahead. I still have to think about my connate divine weapon forging technique. It still has some problems that I need to perfect.”

Zhou Shu waved his hand and chased s.h.i.+ Songtao out. He began to review the process of forging the connate divine weapon the Crimson Firmament.

…

Hundreds of kilometers away from the Huaxia Pavilion’s Demon Realm branch, an army in full armor and armed to the teeth was confronting a person.

“Miss Yin, if you can’t give me a reasonable explanation, don’t blame me for being impolite!” Mi Ziwen’s expression was extremely ugly, and killing intent shot out from the depths of his eyes.

He had been very careful along the way, but he still fell for it.

Half of the 1,000 armored soldiers he had brought with him were dead!

He wished he could kill Yin Yuzhu immediately.

Clang!

The sound of a sword being unsheathed rang out. Lu Wenshuang unsheathed her sword and locked onto Yin Yuzhu. As long as she dared to move, Lu Wenshuang wouldn’t hesitate to attack.

Yin Yuzhu looked innocent as she spread her hands. “It really has nothing to do with me. I don’t know why this happened either.”

“Miss Yin, don’t treat us as fools,” Mi Ziwen said coldly. “You brought us here to open the mountain and dig up those things. Then my men suddenly disappeared. You say you don’t know anything?

“What the h.e.l.l is this place?! Who owns those things?! Where are my people?! How did they disappear?! Are they dead or alive?!” Mi Ziwen said coldly, “If you can’t give me an explanation today, I’ll kill you.”

Rustle!

The Hundred Wars Armored Army behind Mi Ziwen drew their weapons at the same time and aimed them at Yin Yuzhu.
