Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Situation of Jianzhou Wei

After Zhu Qizhen returned to the palace, he immediately set out to take various rulers to look at them.

In general, there are construction rulers, tailoring rulers, carpentry rulers, etc., and it seems that each trade has its own unit of length for their own trade, such as the unit of length used by goldsmiths and carpenters, and the calculation is different.

If you look at the details, it is naturally useless.

However, the imperial court did not fail to work weights and measures, at least in the buckets, rulers, liters, and stones used to collect taxes, and these units had uniform standards.

Most of them follow the previous generation, with a slight change.

For very detailed things, it is up to the people.

Because you do your own work at home, the court has no need and is too lazy to care.

What Zhu Qizhen wants to do is to unify all weights and measures, take a benchmark as the center, determine all weights and measures, and become a system.

It's easier said than done.

It's quite a project.

Establishing a baseline is difficult to determine.

In reality, the commonly used definition of rice is first based on the length of the earth, and the other is based on the speed of light.

Zhu Qizhen was also inspired by this and came up with two ideas.

The first idea is the source of traditional Chinese weights and measures, that is, the Huang Zhong Law Method.

The origin of weights and measures in the Han Dynasty.

The Huang Zhong method of rhythm is to play different tones with different rhythm pipes, and the first rhythm pipe is nine inches, the ancients found that as long as the pitch is determined, the length of this rhythm pipe is constant.

And the volume in this law is also the most basic unit of weight.

All weights and measures are based on acoustics.

To be honest, Zhu Qizhen is actually still skeptical about this statement. Whether this method is accurate or not, I have not tried it myself.

However, he left this matter to the Ministry of Rites.

Not so much to reproduce the Han system, but to establish a benchmark.

For example, the Ming Dynasty used the most construction ruler, although the imperial court issued a lot of official rulers to various places, how to determine that the length of this official ruler is prepared.

If in the process of tax collection, even if there is an error in weights and measures, they can still be used, and the people will only suffer losses if they do not fight with the officials.

But in this large-scale industrial division of labor, there is not a single cent of it.

Now the processing is all wood is easy to do, it's really a little worse, pad a piece of wood into it, but in the future, it will be mostly iron, is it possible to pad another piece of iron into it.

The Han Dynasty method was good, as long as a rhythm pipe could be made and the pitch could be determined, then his length would be nine inches.

The second idea, the French way of thinking, is that the definition of the meter is just one ten-thousandth of the equator to the North Pole. The great tomorrow's literary attainments are also poor.

The monks and their entourage measured the length of the meridian line.

It is also enough to intercept an integer that is close to the Ming weights and measures.

This is also taking into account the issue of the replacement of weights and measures. The Ming Dynasty has practiced weights and measures for so many years, and it is not a good way to abolish them all at once.

In fact, during the Republic of China, the weights and measures established had city rulers, meters, cities, and kilometers, which seemed cumbersome, but in fact, the core was the same.

This matter will naturally be handed over to Qin Tianjian.

As for Liu Dingzhi's problem, he ordered the palace to build a batch of official rulers for the temporary use of various factories. 、

After all, because of process problems, even between the official ruler and the official ruler, there is actually a small error, at least most of the existing clear rulers are not right.

With such an almost purely academic question, Zhu Qizhen could only find time to summon Bei Lin and Hu Hu to ask about the progress.

There was a lot of rain during the Spring Festival this year, and Hebei's spring ploughing was very good, and it seemed that a bumper harvest was in sight, but the development of the war in Haixi was beyond Zhu Qizhen's expectations.

This accident came from a key person, Li Manzhu.

Jianzhou Wei.

Today's Jianzhou Wei is no longer the same as the previous Jianzhou Wei.

It's a bit deserted.

Because Jianzhou Wei, who was the leader of the Jurchen tribe in this area, has shown a state of decline.

The reason why Jianzhou Wei became the leader of the Jurchen tribe in this area has to talk about the location of Jianzhou Wei, he is too close to Daming, just under the side wall.

This geographical location brought great benefits to the Jianzhou Jurchens, the biggest benefit being the entrepot trade between the Ming and the Jurchen tribes.

From this, the Jianzhou Jurchen made a lot of profits.

The second is that the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers are strong and strong, and even whether the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong to obtain this benefit, or whether they can be strong and strong with this benefit, it is difficult to say clearly between the two.

But since the establishment of Haixi Town, the situation of Jianzhou Jurchen has changed.

Although the land route from Liaodong to Haixi still has to pass through Jianzhouwei, it brings more restrictions and constraints to Jianzhouwei. The army repeatedly crossed the border, so that the Jianzhou Wei itself below even knew the strength of the Ming Dynasty, but he was not very respectful to Li Manzhu himself.

In particular, Fan Cha took him to Haixiwei, and now although he is only a thousand households, in the Ming system, Fan Cha is already a person of his own.

And under the suggestion of Yishaha, Fan Cha has changed his Jurchen surname and changed to a Han surname, that is, he changed Aixin Jueluo to the surname Jin.

Therefore, in all the documents and records of the imperial court, there is no such person as Aixinjue Luo Fancha, only Jin Fancha.

In other words, even if Jin Fancha made a great contribution one day and stood in front of Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qizhen would not know what this person had to do with Aixin Jueluo.

Not to mention, the establishment of Haixiwei, a large amount of grain from Haixiwei ashore, suddenly made Haixiwei the economy, culture, and politics of this area

Centre.

The goods that used to be handed over by Jianzhou Weiyi were sold directly in Haixiwei.

The interests of Jianzhou Wei cannot be guaranteed.

Yishu was able to establish Haixi City, and the commercial interests in this were all compensated. The officers up and down Haixiwei have a share of profits, after all, everyone has worked so hard, and they came to this wild place, not just for the sake of the imperial court.

Therefore, Li Manzhu also knows that the interests in this area cannot be taken back.

In fact, economic benefits alone were not enough for Li Manzhu to betray.

More factors are political.

Sandwiched between Liaodong and Haixi, Li Manzhu instinctively felt uncomfortable, and he knew that it was not only him who felt uncomfortable, but also probably not only uncomfortable.

Although the foundation of Haixi is actually on the sea route that can only be navigated for nine months a year, because the Ming Dynasty opened the sea ban, and even some civilian ships are willing to run North Korea and Haixi routes.

While the sea routes are becoming more and more prosperous, the strengthening of the land routes has never relaxed.

After all, these generals have been fighting on land all their lives, and they are very uneasy about the sea route, not to mention, this sea route has a freezing period of more than three months a year.

Although during the closure period, it was also snowy and difficult to travel on the land route. However, Yishiha was still strengthened, and the post station between Haixi and Liaodong was strengthened.

It is necessary to build castles one by one.

Although each one is not large, it can probably garrison about 500 people for the convoy to dodge. This string of castles, about fifty li, was built in a difficult place, firmly blocking the land transportation from Liaodong to Haixi, and in Li Manzhu's view, it was like a net.

And he is the fish in the net.

Li Manzhu was overwhelmed by this sense of urgency pressed step by step.

Before Li Manzhu lived, there was a hundred responses in this area, although there were only more than 10,000 people, but it was not a problem to temporarily recruit the Jurchen tribes and pull up tens of thousands of horses.

After the establishment of Haixiwei, such a good thing should not be thought of.

Jurchen tribes from all over the country have joined the army in Haixi, and the most elite men and horses have become the Jurchen iron cavalry under Shi Heng.

Li Manzhu felt that his position was shaking all the time, but there was nothing he could do.

The situation is not up to anyone.

If there was no tile spur in the battle of Mulan Hewei, Li Manzhu would not dare to make any moves no matter how much he thought in his heart, and even he learned from Mao Lianwei Li Zhong.

Find a way to use the subordinates of Jianzhou Wei to exchange yourself for glory and wealth.

But the appearance of the tile spur gave Li Manzhu more options.

A wolf who is accustomed to eating meat can only be willing to be a dog. In the winter of last year, the Tile Thorn Envoy haunted the Jianzhou Guard several times.

Li Manzhu has been hesitating, or rather, not hesitating, but bargaining.

And today, Li Manzhu finally made up his mind.
