Chapter 397: Unified Weights and Measures!

"Terrifying!" Seleucus III muttered to himself with a shocked face, and Feng Yingluo II was also full of shock!

"Why is this Great Wei Empire so powerful? Could it be that countless slaves used it? Seleucus III asked again.

In his view, a strong country must be driven by a large number of slaves, and the more slaves, the greater the labor force, and naturally the country will be strong.

After listening to the translation, Gula replied with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "The greatness of the Great Wei Empire is not something you can speculate, this time I brought you into the Great Wei Empire, just to let you see the great Heavenly Khan, the founding emperor of the Great Wei Empire!" ”

"Stop!"

Then a shout interrupted their words!

As soon as the words fell, Gula and his party hurriedly tightened the reins of their horses and stopped their advance, and at the same time, Gula also stepped forward a few steps alone, and saluted Wang Cao who was more than a dozen steps away: "Your subordinate Gula came to meet the emperor, and asked the general to be accommodating!" ”

Gula and Wang Cao had no shelf of the Great Autumn Khan, and not only that, but showed humility, which surprised Seleucus III and Feng Yingluo II again.

Strong strength is good, a general can make the invincible Khan of the Great Autumn Kingdom humble.

Wang Cao nodded with satisfaction, glanced around at Gula and the others, and then replied: "Gula Khan is polite, remove the strong bow and let him go immediately!" ”

As soon as the words fell, ten centurions jumped off their horses, collected their strong bows, and then handed them all over to the cavalry of the Great Wei Empire for safekeeping, and when they returned to the Great Autumn Kingdom, they would be returned.

After collecting the strong bow, Wang Cao ordered the army to retreat on both sides and remove a spur, there was no city wall on the border of Liangzhou, only a row of giant spurs were placed.

After the level opened a hole, Gula saluted again to show his gratitude, and then led people through the checkpoint and ran in the direction of Tianjing City....

Gula and his entourage passed by the prosperous cities, which caused the shock of Seleucus III and Feng Yingluo II, and felt the strength of the Great Wei Empire, and the many prosperous cities of the Great Wei Empire could pick one at random, which was comparable to their Indian king city.

Seeing so many prosperous cities, Seleucus III and Feng Yingluo II yearned for Tianjing City even more, wanting to see how much prosperity the imperial city of the Great Wei Empire was so powerful that they couldn't believe it.

Gula was a little surprised, especially Liangzhou, when he came for the last time, Liangzhou was not so prosperous, but only a year has passed, and Liangzhou has changed.

"The Great Heavenly Khan is like a god descending into the world!" Gula thought with great admiration in his heart.

Wei Ya has become a god in Gula's mind, inviolable, and inviolable!

Wei Li, who was far away in Tianjing City, did not know that Gula came to pay homage with the king and high priest of India, and now Wei Li is completely obsessed with Zhao Ying, and he ran to Manjianghong twice in three days.

With the passage of time, the two relaxation roads of the Great Wei Empire have been repaired longer and faster, and the old walls of Tianjing City have all been torn down, and the old moat has become the inland river of Tianjing City, becoming the first man-made household of the Great Wei Empire.

Push the old city wall, then rebuild the new city wall 30 miles away, the height of the new city wall should reach six zhang, the width should also reach three zhang, the thickness of each side of the city wall is one zhang, leave a zhang space inside the city wall, used to place the organs, set up four gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest, dig two zhang wide and four zhang deep moat thousands of steps away.

The design of the city walls was carried out by the Mo family, the drainage system, and the crossbow system.

I have to say that with the efforts of the children of the Mo family, the crossbow arrow system has been greatly improved, divided into two kinds of crossbow machines, one is a light crossbow machine, which can shoot thirty ordinary and small arrows in ten seconds, with a range of 1,000 steps, and the other is a heavy crossbow machine, a giant arrow in two seconds, a giant arrow is five feet long, made of copper, can shoot 2,000 steps, and any defense measures within 2,000 steps can be directly crushed!

Under the budget of Mohai Order, 3,000 light crossbow machines and 1,000 heavy crossbow machines need to be placed on each side of the city wall, and 20 million ordinary arrows and 5 million giant arrows need to be stored.

With the switch, passive becomes active, even if there is no soldier or horse in Tianjing City, as long as there is one person guarding the switch, you can resist millions of enemies!

Tianjing City, impregnable!

But this project is huge, directly exceeding the budget expenditure, fortunately, Wei Ya gave an extra 90 million taels of silver at the beginning, and Yang You, who will be the Shaofu, can still continue, even if it is less, you can reapply for funding.

Time flies, two months in a flash, the nineteenth day of the first month of the second year of Shiwu!

Great Wei Empire, Tianjing City, Imperial Palace, Taizheng Palace!

Wei Li was wearing a crown of golden silk, mountains, rivers and stars, twelve strings of pearl crowns, and bronzing black clothes on his feet, and the emperor was full of majesty and majesty.

The civil and military officials all felt a Mount Tai pressed on their shoulders, and they were panting when they exhaled.

"The widow reviewed the note yesterday and found a problem, do you want to hear it?" Wei Li said indifferently.

Although the language is light, it is full of the power of the emperor, everyone does not dare to talk nonsense, dare not joke, the whole court becomes extremely serious, this is the aura of the emperor.

The civil and military officials held the wat board in both hands, and when they heard the emperor's words, they bent down with a look of awe and responded: "The ministers are listening! ”

"Jingzhou officials measure length and width, using "inch, ruler, zhang", measuring capacity using "he, sheng, bucket, stone", measuring weight using "two, jin, jun, stone", while Yangzhou officials measure length and width, using "finger, ruler, zhang", capacity using "liter, dan, stone,", weight using "he, bucket, jun, stone"! ”

"Not only the units of measuring length, width, capacity and weight in Jingzhou and Yangzhou, but also the rest of the states are also different, each with its own unit, which is simply messy, and the widow can't understand it at all, and measures with a finger, how to measure? Are all the fingers of the whole world the same length? From here, the widow sees a problem, although the world is unified, there are many more things that are not unified! ”

Wei Li told the problem, yesterday he reviewed the state Taishou's recitals, and found this big problem, this problem is also his own negligence, bent on abolishing other languages, forgetting to unify weights and measures.

When the civil and military officials heard this, they immediately bowed their heads and were silent.

They couldn't answer this question, so they could only remain silent, only Meng Ge faintly sensed something.

From now on, all the subjects of the Great Wei Empire will measure the length and width, and uniformly use "inch, ruler, zhang!" "Thirty inches is equal to one foot, ten feet is equal to one zhang, and the capacity uses "milliliters, liters, and stones!" "One thousand milliliters is equal to one liter, fifty liters is equal to one stone, and the weight is used" two, catty, stone"! ”
