Chapter 5 When Qin Shi Huang is returned.
"What does this loser of the Li family want to do?"
In the mansion of the deputy thousand households, He Tianneng had already dropped three teacups.
"More than 400,000 acres of land, and he was divided in a few days?! What is the use of those poor military households and artisan households who are bitter and haha, giving them fields?! ”
He Fulin, the leader of his family, asked a maid to clean the ground, and handed over a cup of new tea with both hands, "Master, maybe this loser boy is because he learned that he can't take over the garrison, so he simply scattered his family wealth and used it to invite people to buy people's hearts." First, the city is to give to his subordinates, and secondly, it is also to cause some trouble to you, master. ”
"It doesn't hurt to be fed! I have three hundred iron-clad men in my hands, and I am afraid that he will do something! A group of poor military households without staff and armor, even if they are trained, how big a wave can they make?! Garrison, I'm seated! ”
Saying this, with a slightly yellowed beard in his hand, He Tian couldn't stop panting.
"Master, having said that, the information that has been passed back from our meticulous work, those military households and homeless people directly under the Li family are now all attached to the hearts of the people, and they are all saying that the Li family is a good loser. The hundreds of official villages in the vicinity are also fluctuating, and many military households in the official villages are complaining about why they don't have such good luck. ”
Hearing the information reported to him by his subordinates, He Tianneng showed a smile in his eyes, "You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder!" Fulin, you take my greeting post, go to a few nearby hundreds of official villages, and tell them that the behavior of the Li family's loser is really nonsense, and I, as his uncle, am very sad. After Lord Li's funeral, I will come to the door to reprimand him, please rest assured, this crooked trend will not last! ”
"In addition, you are right, those poor soldiers, although they do not have staff and armor, but, after all, they are outnumbered. It's also a must-have. After you visited a few official villages, you went to the account room and brought out 2,000 catties of pig iron, 1,000 catties of salt, 200 pieces of cotton cloth, and 50 horses of silk. ”
"What do you mean, sir?"
"He who is a man of letters must be armed, and he uses the inheritance of his ancestors to buy people's hearts, and I will use my sword to speak to his heart. You take these things, go to the She's cottage in the west, and meet them with the Ngawang people, and say, In a few days, I will borrow his 500 Miao swords and soldiers. Also, our soldiers, from tomorrow onwards, Qi Shaobao's 38 will be drilled! ”
Watching his subordinates straddle their horses, He Tianneng couldn't help but secretly think to himself, was this kind of behavior done by Li Shouhan, who was weak and full of sages?
Is this thief really now, as he said, mingling with a group of craftsmen and doing some tricks and tricks to pass the time?
"A few masters, please take a seat." Li Shouhan, who was full of spring breeze, waved his hand and asked Ling Zheng and Feng Mofeng to sit down. Several people sat on the Huanghuali official hat chair with half of their buttocks uneasy. Always be ready to stand up.
"How are you doing these days? The fields are all gone? Li Shouhan is very familiar with the way and procedure of talking between leaders and his subordinates, although he was not a legitimate leader before, but he is also familiar with this set of things. After a few opening remarks, both sides became relaxed, and the tone of the conversation began to shift to technology. "Master Ling, the metallurgy, iron-making, and money casting in the mansion have always been partial to you, Master Feng, you have also worked hard to build farm tools and weapons. And Wang Quan and Lei Mingsheng, the shipbuilding and house construction in the mansion have been in charge of the two of them. I invite four of you here today, not for anything else, but to talk about the matter of unified weights and measures in our house! In a word, the four leaders of the craftsmen present, including Fu Bo on the side, were all a little dumbfounded. What the? Do you want to unify weights and measures? When you were Qin Shi Huang? Want to play with the same text and the same track? "A few masters, Fu Bo, in the past few days, I have been walking around, and I have also visited the market, the dock, the shop, and the various workshops."
The weights and measures implemented in various industries and stores are different, and such a standard is tantamount to a huge joke and nightmare for Li Shouhan, who has become accustomed to standardized industrial production.
Fortunately, in his bag, which had been discarded by the two pilots in his study, he found one of his tools, a vernier caliper.
"Don't talk about anything else for the time being, Master Wang, Master Lei, you use it differently. carpenters build houses, with Luban rulers; And the broken log is used to build a ship, and it is the same ruler; Tailoring rulers are used in ready-to-wear shops, Master Wang Quan, if you measure the size with your ruler at home, you will not be able to make suitable clothes in the tailor shop on the street. ”
A few people burst out laughing, yes, this kind of thing has happened before. However, after all, there are not so many people living here, and everyone knows each other, so the situation that Li Shouhan said has not been taken seriously by everyone.
"Also, the scales we use for trade. It's also a lot of tricks. About flat scales, balance scales, Sima scales, hall scales, library flat scales, tea scales, and fish scales used on the dock, I asked the salt girl to weigh it, the same thing, use different scales to weigh, one catty, the most can be two or two out! ”
Several artisan leaders have been in their own industry for a long time, and they have been invading for a long time, so it can be said that they have been dealing with these sizes since they were apprentices, and now when they hear Li Shouhan say this, it is a bit commonplace, and it is not strange.
While a few people were talking, the salt girl took out something from the inner room of the study and presented it to Li Shouhan on a tray.
"This is a caliper, the full name is a vernier caliper, in the future, the area under my jurisdiction, the scale, weight, and balance of the military and civilian people, etc., must be subject to this thing."
The four of them had seen calipers before, but most of them were made of wood or copper, but I don't know how to make them. However, on one side, the words "city size" and "inch" are marked with words, and on the other side, the size is marked with tadpole characters, which is also the size.
"My lord, I don't know where this thing came from?" Several people took out the ruler they used from their waists and compared it with the vernier caliper, and there was indeed something inferior. Ling Zheng sighed and asked with some curiosity.
Hearing this, Li Shouhan almost choked on a sip of tea! Coughing incessantly, while coughing, he secretly blamed himself, "That wants you to be like this?" Can you tell where this thing came from? ”
Unexpectedly, someone rescued him.
"Master Ling, do you remember that on the day the boss returned to heaven, a fireball suddenly flew through the sky? And then there was constant thunder over the garrison? One of my apprentices was running errands near the mansion at the time, and according to him, fairy music was fluttering in the air at that time. He deliberately stepped forward to watch, but unexpectedly, as soon as he walked outside the wall of the garrison mansion, it was like a lightning strike, and his whole body was in pain, so he didn't dare to step forward. My lord, Mr. Fu, I don't know if this matter is related to the words of ......" king. His eyes were full of doubt and fear.
"Ahem! Cough! Li Shouhan knew that the vision in Wang Quan's mouth was the table when he was kidnapped to this era by those two guys, and the space-time spaceship was running at high speed, and in the eyes of the people on the ground, it was naturally a fireball. The thunder was the roar of the engine, and the so-called Xianle was a piece of music playing on the stereo in the cockpit of the two pilots, fortunately there was no rock 'n' roll, otherwise, it would not be Xianle, but magic music.
Well?! What a chance! What an excuse!
"I can't hide it, I am in the ranks, they are all old people in my house, and they have all helped my father for many years. Not bad! On the day my father returned to heaven, something happened in the house! On that day, I fainted due to excessive grief, and in my sleep, I saw the heavenly chariot flying in the air, and an immortal claimed to be on the order of the emperor of heaven, and sent a decree to me, and gave this thing. ”
It's dangerous! Seeing his rhetoric, he threw the five bodies of several people present to the ground, and couldn't help but wipe a sweat in his heart. "When you speak in the future, you should be more careful, so as not to show flaws."
What Li Shouhan didn't expect was that his words, after being intentionally or unintentionally disseminated by the six people present, and then processed and interpreted, became a different look, and it was of great benefit to him. Let's sell it here and leave it for later.
A few days later, when he mourned for his father, Ling Zheng and his apprentices waited respectfully at the door.
"My lord, according to what you mean, you said 'liter', and it has been made."
Looking at the liter made of bronze, Li Shouhan was very satisfied, "Yes, it's the same as I've seen it before." ”
"The adults are saying that the rough craftsmanship of the little ones is almost the same as the one you have ever seen?!" Ling Zheng was a little flattered.
"Well, it's good." Li Shouhan said vaguely, in the past few days, he found that a division of land made all the military households and civilian households support him incomparably, and when he said that he had contact with the gods in the sky, all the people regarded him as a god.
That's not bad, whatever I say, it will be implemented to the letter. No wonder so many people like to make gods.
The side length of the inner wall is ten centimeters, a cube. That's exactly one liter of volume. "Zhang Cheng, I'll leave this thing to you. After passing the order, all the soldiers and civilians in our garrison will pay taxes based on this standard. ”
Baihu Zhangcheng had a sad face, "My lord, I am leading the soldiers, you let me take care of this?" How can this be managed? Zhang Cheng trembled with the horizontal flesh on his face, not knowing how he should get along with the immortal chief in front of him.
"Well, so, this liter, filled with water, level with the mouth, the weight of water is one kilogram, 1000 kilograms is 1 ton, and this will be used as a unit of measurement in the future. In addition, the 'rice' I mentioned should also be made in a hurry. ”
"Yes."
"My lord, I'll take care of this, this, the measuring tool prison you said, who will bring the soldiers in the house? You said you were going to recruit new recruits, who was going to do that? Zhang Cheng did not give up and wanted to do his own business.
"Don't worry, I've found the most suitable person for this matter."
"Who ?!!"
"It's General Ben!"
