Seeing that the time was ripe, Roddy put forward his idea, "That's right. All the lords have to do is to sign on the 'patent authorization letter' to prove that the 'patent' was handed over by the research department."
"Does this mean that those without the authorization letter have no right to use it?"
"Yes, this is the 'intellectual property' I was talking about. In the future, there will be a special law. Anyone who violates it will be punished according to the law."
After listening to Roddy's answer, Victor immediately understood his intention — he was setting up rules!
The phrase "first-class enterprises set the standard" was not a lie. When Elsen City became the authority of magic, from the establishment of magazines and periodicals to the sales of all kinds of magic tools, the whole country began to follow Elsen City as the wind vane. The business interests and trade surplus behind this were not something that small merchants and peddlers could imagine.
From a certain point of view, the one who made the rules was always the one who benefited the most. What Roddy was doing now was to set up new legal rules.
He briefly explained that the extension of this was actually similar to the "Intellectual Property Office": by establishing a "patent protection" system, on the surface, it was to provide protection to the patent makers to prevent their rights and interests from being infringed. But in fact, in the name of "protection", these patents were in the hands of the government in advance at a very low cost!
This was something that a powerful government could easily do. In this era, "patent" included all kinds of things, from big magic spells to small leather processing methods. In the past, if the patent was plagiarized and caused a dispute, the party who was plagiarized could only suffer in silence. Once Roddy announced that his personal "patent" was protected, as long as his "patent" was submitted to the "Intellectual Property Office" for examination and approval in a certain format, then the patent could be protected for a certain period of time. If someone used it without authorization, he would be punished directly according to the law.
Hearing this idea, Victor and the others finally understood why Roddy gave them this patent for free — this was completely using the lord's name to build momentum for the "Intellectual Property Office" and the upcoming law!
Just imagine, even the lord of the Dragons obediently signed the authorization letter, who else in the Kingdom of Karen would have the guts to go against Roddy's government?
The other Feudal Lords were relieved. After all, how could Rody be a boorish person who would impulsively punch someone? It would be strange if he did not have other interests and goals behind his beating of Basta!
But they really did not care about this. Basta deserved to be beaten. According to the elders' opinion, this kind of villain who took advantage of others was still not punished lightly.
Therefore, Victor and the other lords looked around to make sure that everyone nodded in agreement.
"Right, the formulas and theorems that the honorary elders have taught today, although they seem simple, I feel that there are still a lot of extension and application problems. I wonder when you will have the time to teach them in detail again?"
Crupes made a request. "I'm very interested in what you call 'advanced mathematics', but it sounds like there's also 'low-level mathematics'? It seems that you have come up with a set of systematic things? "
Roddy already knew that they could not hold back, but his reply was rather reserved. "This depends on whether the honorary elders have time, but if it is possible, I would suggest that they take some time to hold a few lectures. Lords and elders, if you have time, would you like to attend them regularly?"
In fact, it would be the easiest to write it down in a book, but how could Roddy agree so easily? As soon as he said this, the lords immediately said, "As long as you let us know, we will go to attend any time!"
"Then everyone should prepare well for the lecture. Don't be stumped by the questions in the lecture."
Roddy turned his head and said to Iscar with a smile. The five honorary elders nodded shyly — including Kardashian. At this moment, the five of them were a little dizzy. How did they suddenly become professors giving lectures to the lords and elders?
Who would have thought that just a few hours ago, they were still worrying about the improvement of those few magic circles?
And at this time, while they were thinking about this, they did not know that the other Dragons behind them, who were pricking up their ears, had their jaws dropped. In the past, they had only heard of the lords and elders teaching the younger generation. Who would have ever heard of the younger generation teaching the elders?
The Dragons around them had already finished their meal, but they brought their drinks over and slowly sipped, obviously wanting to hear the follow-up content. And to their disbelief, Lord Victor did not seem to be joking. He even discussed for a long time about the arrangement of the classes of the honorary elders, and they did not understand many of the terms.
Looking at the elders next to him, who were also humbly asking for advice, this scene was obviously not an act. One or two of them might be fishy, but three lords and seven elders of the five Dragons were like this, how could it be fake?
There were also some who were curious about why Basta and the others were at the end of the table. Logically speaking, these people were not qualified to sit at the same table as the lord. Looking at their anxious expressions, it was obvious that this meal was not a good one. But when the meal was about to end, the surrounding Dragons who were eavesdropping finally understood what had happened …
"Prime Minister, what happened to Basta and the others today will never happen again. I will issue a notice within the clan, and if there is a second offense, severe punishment will be imposed. "
Victor's tone was very solemn. Perhaps some people felt that he was making a big fuss over a minor issue, but Crupus and Pucasto beside him also gave similar promises. The two elders of the Green and Red Dragons also temporarily apologized on behalf of the lord.
"Basta, you know what to do."
Turning his head and glancing at Victor, Basta did not even need to say a word. He stood up from his seat like a spring. He and the other four Dragons came together in front of Roddy and bowed deeply to apologize. The latter did not have the furious expression that he had when he kicked them. He said gently, "I do not need your apology. The person you should apologize to should be the honorary elders."
Basta pursed his lips and came to Kardashian, bowing almost ninety degrees. But this lord's daughter was not as easy to talk to as Roddy. She frowned in disgust and looked at her father, "I hope he can reflect on his actions in the Dragon Territory."
"Fifty years."
Victor's answer made Basta tremble, but he quickly gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes, my lord."
