Chai Rong walked nine times repeatedly, that is, nine steps, and each step was written down with a leather rope, taking an average value, and then dividing it by five, which is the length of one foot!

Chai Rong did it very carefully, every time he took a step, he didn't dare to be sloppy, and the little eunuch in charge of recording stared at it with wide eyes, not daring to make any mistakes.

Just kidding, this scale is determined, and the world will be measured in the future, and thousands of mountains and rivers will be based on this scale, and even the subject countries of the Great Zhou will come to ask for weights and measures from the Great Zhou, and to put it mildly, this is the international standard!

Who would dare not take it seriously!

Chai Rong was very happy, although he did not step on every inch of land, but the fields in the whole world were measured by the length of his step, and to a certain extent, it could be regarded as satisfying the ambition of the lord of the world.

He was sitting in the Golden Palace, waiting for the eunuch craftsmen to make a tape measure, and suddenly, Chai Rong remembered something.

"Something is wrong, Mr. Li, what you just said, Tang Taizong has already determined the length of a step, why do the people still calculate the distance by steps, could it be that the yang below is against the yin, and they didn't follow Taizong's orders?"

Li Xian smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, not only Tang Taizong, in fact, since the Qin and Han dynasties, all dynasties and dynasties have redetermined weights and measures, and they dare not be careless." It's just that these weights and measures can only be issued to the county level, and usually the county government will have a ruler and a measuring bucket as a standard. But what about further down? Because of financial resources and the ignorance of the people, they were given rulers to measure their buckets, and they didn't know how to measure them. So the weights and measures below are confusing. ”

Li Shi said again: "The minister listened to Wang Sanli, a former bachelor, said that the average big family will prepare two buckets, one large and one small, and when they collect land rent, they will use big buckets, and if they sell grain to the people, or lend grain to the people, they will use small buckets...... This is what the people often say about big buckets in, small buckets out, and once you come and go, you can take advantage of the big one! ”

"How can it be!"

Chai Rong slapped the table hard, angry.

"I understand that it is not difficult to determine weights and measures, but the difficult thing is to promote and implement...... Ye Qing, what tricks do you have? ”

When encountering this kind of thing, it is usually more reliable to find Ye Hua, and sure enough, he has long been confident.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that no matter whether it is a ruler or a bucket, the supply must be sufficient first...... The minister felt that His Majesty could let the household pay for it, and the order was enough. ”

As soon as Ye Hua's words fell, Li Gu stopped, "Champion Hou, what you said is light, making rulers, measuring buckets, the cost is not a few, the three divisions promised to give two sets to each state and county at most, no more." ”

Ye Hua asked angrily, "Li Xianggong, there are only two sets in a huge county, what can you do?" Isn't it still the same as before, shelved and treated as an ornament? ”

Li Gu refused to let go, "The old man also wants to send a few more sets, but the problem is that the treasury has no money, and he is powerless!" ”

He figured it out, Ye Hua, this kid must be trying to get an order for his workshop...... I'm sorry, you want to make money and make up for the losses you made a few days ago, so that the old man won't be fooled!

Li Gu can't get the money when he bites it to death, and now it is the critical moment for Qingzhang Tianmu, Your Majesty is so anxious, there is nothing else, your champion Hou will pay some money, and put the ruler for the imperial court, just forget it!

Li Gu calculated, no matter what, Ye Hua couldn't run, he made up his mind for this money!

"Your Majesty, if the treasury really can't come up with money, the minister has a way."

"I know that Ye Qing has an idea, you hurry up."

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Court may authorize workshops to give them the power to specialize in the manufacture of weights and measures...... After the workshop was licensed, a batch of weights and measures would be provided free of charge to the states and counties, and all the officials responsible for clearing the acres of land would be given a standard tape measure, and then they could measure the land, which would also reduce the space for them to work on and off. ”

Li Gu listened silently, and when he heard the concession, his eyes suddenly widened, and he felt bad! Ye Hua, this kid really has a ghost idea, this is to monopolize the business of weights and measures!

Once it falls into his hands, he doesn't want to sell it for as much as he wants!

Finished!

The old man made a mistake, he wanted to knock him out, but he let this kid earn it again!

"Your Majesty!" Li Gu wanted to stop him, but Chai Rong waved his hand suddenly, "Don't say it, I can agree, but I want to get the ruler as soon as possible!" ”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will arrange it!"

……

Ye Hua came out of the Golden Palace, and he almost wanted to look up to the sky and laugh.

Li Gu, this old thing, can play tricks alone, do you think I will suffer! Tell you, I can't ask for it! How much can it cost to send some points to various states and counties, as well as support Qingzhang Tianmu?

The pass is the Great Zhou established a new weights and measures, and in the future, various yamen, as well as merchants from the south to the north, who don't want a ruler, a bucket, by the way, and a scale!

These three things are prepared by the average wealthy family, how much should be used! Thinking about it makes people's blood boil, what Lao Tzu lost before, this time he has earned it back!

Ye Hua couldn't help humming a little song, so he went to the Champions Square to assign tasks.

Craftsmen who are accustomed to making armor and weapons, when they hear that they are going to make tape measures, measuring buckets, and scales, they all laugh dumbly, what is the difficulty of this, it is not a problem at all!

"Don't be careless, the amount needed by the imperial court is very large, especially the Qingzhang field, which requires a very long tape measure, at least ten zhang, are you sure?"

"No problem, Hou Ye will look at it!"

The craftsmen patted their chests and assured Ye Hua.

In fact, in the past few years of hard work, the craftsmen of the Champion Workshop have played the hydraulic machinery to the extreme.

They made a hydraulic forging machine, which they used to beat plate armor, make swords, and made a hydraulic saw, which could be used to cut wood, cut cowhides, sheepskins, and more.

There are also skilled women in the workshop, who can carefully sew the skins cut into strips, connect them into long strips, and then the craftsmen will stamp the scales, and a tape measure is more or less complete.

In order to carry and use, the craftsmen borrowed the spool of the kite, and usually the tape measure can be retracted, and the wooden box is taken out on the outside, and when it is used, it is very convenient to take it back.

As for the measuring bucket and scales, there is no difficulty, and in three days, Ye Hua took the finished product and met Chai Rong with joy.

When the three treasures were placed in front of him, Chai Rong's heart was pounding.

He first picked up the tape measure, dragged the copper ring, and rolled out the half-inch-wide cowhide, on which dense scales were engraved.

When he pulled out to five feet, Chai Rong looked at it carefully and showed a happy smile.

"That's the length of my step! It's mine! ”

His Majesty the Emperor was in a happy mood, and he actually took a ruler to measure the dragon bookcase, the dragon chair, and the pillar next to him.

Ye Hua understands Chai Rong's mood very well, if one day, his portrait is printed on the coin, he can also hold the money and laugh all day!

What a manly man wants, isn't it to leave his own mark on the world!

Chai Rong took the tape measure and walked to the door of the hall, and suddenly became interested.

"Ye Qing, come here, help me measure the Daqing Palace! Look at how wide and long it is under the new system! ”

The two monarchs and ministers really did it, and after measurement, the Daqing Hall was twenty-one zhang three feet three, and twelve zhang wide...... After getting the new data, Chai Rong immediately ordered the little eunuch.

"Go, re-record, change the original number!"

The little eunuch was just about to leave, but Chai Rong stopped him again, "Find a few more people, take a ruler, and re-measure every brick and tile in the palace for me to record!" ”

"Slave obeys!"

The little eunuch hurriedly went down, and Chai Rong looked at the palace happily, and that look was different.

Kaifeng Imperial Palace, originally Zhu Wen's Jiedu envoy's mansion, later although the dynasty changed, but the pattern has not changed roughly, and the time of each dynasty is too short, it is too late to replace weights and measures.

Therefore, the size of this palace is still based on the standards left by Li Shimin back then.

Chai Rong won't rip off the palace and build a new one, but if he uses his standards to re-measure and record it, it will be equivalent to a makeover and completely become the palace of the Great Zhou!

Chai Rong's suggestion to Ye Hua, that's called a satisfaction!

He pulled Ye Hua and stood outside the main hall, full of ambition, "When Qin Shi Huang swept away the Six Kingdoms, he issued an edict with the same text, the same track, unified currency, and weights and measures...... I don't think Emperor Qin has done enough! I want to clear the acres of land, determine the land endowment, take back the power of the moderation and envoys, reorganize the forbidden army, determine the commercial tax, repair the city, build the road, and rectify the rule of officials...... I want the entire Great Zhou to be unified under my standards! No one is exempt! ”
