In order to solve the statistical and arithmetic problems caused by measurement differences once and for all. Read the full text of the latest chapterLuan Yi decided to follow Qin Shi Huang and carry out another round of systematic unification of weights and measures and measurement units.

He first briefly estimated his height, which was about two meters as later generations. It is then recorded with a benchmark, averaging everything to two. The cut pole is equivalent to one meter. The one-metre-long pole was then cut evenly again to obtain four half-metre-long sticks. Then the third cut was made, and eight wooden sticks about 25 centimeters long appeared in front of him.

The length of each stick, which is twenty-five centimeters, is equal to one foot.

Ten feet is equal to one zhang, and one zhang is about twenty-five meters. One foot is equal to ten inches, and one inch is about 2.5 centimeters; Two hundred zhang is equal to one mile, that is, five hundred meters.

In order to adapt to the precise requirements of high-precision instruments for size in the future, Luan Yi also set up two units of centimeters and milliinches according to the word "millicenti", namely: one inch is equal to ten centimeters, and one centimeter is equal to ten milliinches.

This is how new length units and standards are introduced.

In terms of weight and volume.

Luan Yi used his height as the standard and found the length of the unit ruler - one foot is equal to twenty-five centimeters. Twenty-five centimeters is the length of a foot.

Based on the length of centimeters, he ordered craftsmen to make a glass container with a height of 10 centimeters, a width of 10 centimeters, and a length of 10 centimeters, which has a volume of one cubic decimeter, and according to the mathematical knowledge of later generations, one cubic decimeter is equal to one liter, and one liter is equal to two city liters.

Unit: liters are just that.

At the same time, as we all know, the weight of one liter of water is equal to one kilogram, and the weight of water is not difficult to measure, just weigh the weight of the container with water and subtract the weight of the container to calculate. The actual weight of a kilogram is measured in this way, and half of it is a pound. One-tenth of a pound is one tael.

In this way, new units of measurement such as Huali, Huazhang, Huaqi, Huacun, Huasheng, Huajin, and Hualiang were introduced.

It is true that there is a gap between Luan Yi's height and two meters, so the other units of measurement obtained must be wrong with later generations.

However, as a standard for measuring the number of things, the unit of measurement only needs to interpret the number of things clearly, accurately and logically, and there is no need to refer to the parameters of later generations. Therefore, this set of measurement units compiled by Luan Yi is scientific enough, and the slight error between one inch and twenty-five centimeters is no longer important. [Marshmallow wants to read almost all the books.,It's much more stable and faster than the general station.,There's no ads in the whole text.] ]

The units are baked, and all that remains is the forging of weights and measures. In this regard, Luan Yi ordered the Imperial Machinery Bureau to build a batch of rulers with the strongest and strongest alloys with the strongest thermal expansion and cold shrinkage resistance that he has mastered, and mark the scales on the rulers according to the data he gave. At the same time, he also ordered the Ordnance Bureau to forge the scales according to the weight of the catty he gave.

In order to show that he attaches great importance to the replacement of weights and measures, he recruited the governors, patriarchs, and governors of the three armies of the empire into the imperial capital on the fifteenth day of the first month of the 26th year of the Shengyuan Dynasty, and personally handed over boxes of new measuring instruments to them in the main hall, and ordered them to return to the local area. Strive to report annual tax revenue according to the new measurement standard before the autumn harvest this year.

The top attaches great importance to it, and the bottom naturally does not dare to slack off.

As a result, in the first half of the year, the entire empire was mired in the vigorous replacement of weights and measures.

Replacing weights and measures sounds simple. However, in practice, it was extremely cumbersome, and the 50 million people of the empire were inevitably uncomfortable with and even resisted by changing the units of measurement that they were accustomed to in the past and replacing them with new scales and scales.

However, under the unified dispatch of the imperial court, under the appeal and persuasion of the local government and the church, and the supervision and implementation of the local garrison of the empire, the common people quickly accepted this reality, and the rich squires and ordinary people in various places handed over the old weights, scales, rulers, and rice buckets to the government one after another in accordance with laws and regulations, in exchange for new measuring standards.

Thanks to the joint efforts of all the officials of the Empire, the new metrics were put into use throughout the Empire on July 1, a month before the autumn harvest. As a result, the grain production statistics of that year became much simpler and the data more accurate.

The statistical results show that in the 26th year of the Shengyuan Dynasty, there were neither natural disasters nor ** in various places, and the empire ushered in a bumper year, and the grain output increased by more than 10% after three consecutive years, and the people were silent in the joy of the harvest.

The people's days are getting more and more prosperous, and Luan Yi is happier than anyone else. What made him even more excited was that after recuperating from his thoughts, the imperial treasury and granaries were abundant, and there was so much grain that there were no warehouses to hold, and gold and silver were piled up...... The empire has the capital to launch a big war again.

The main strong enemy of the Chinese Empire, the Saiwai steppe peoples, has been conquered by the empire, and the remaining Fanbang and tribes are slightly weaker. This time, Luan Yi is ready to start a two-front operation and attack two strategic targets at the same time.

One of these two targets is the Southern Barbarians, and the other is the Chinese nation's thousand-year-old enemy, the Wa State.

At the pre-war military conference. The civil and military officials expressed their understanding and approval of the attack on the Southern Barbarians. After all, Nanban and Yizhou are neighbors, and the Nanban king Meng Shu often invaded Yizhou to plunder, threatening the lives and property safety of the people of Yizhou. As the production center of the empire's silk embroidery and textile industry, Yizhou is also one of the granaries of the empire, and whether it is stable or not is directly related to the empire's products and taxes. Therefore, for the sake of the empire and the people of Yizhou, it is the general trend to pacify the southern barbarians in one fell swoop.

But what the civil and military officials didn't understand was, why did Luan Yi have to use troops against the Japanese State? It's just a small country, a land of projectiles, and the territory is far beyond Middle-earth, on the island where birds don't. Attacking him requires the mobilization of many warships and manpower, not to mention, it takes half a day to only take a big place, which is not cost-effective at all. It is better to fight Tubo if you have that kung fu, Tubo is sparsely populated and vast, and the same army can capture a huge piece of land, why not?

Luan Yi really wanted to tell the civil and military officials that the country of projectiles they were talking about had brought great disasters to hundreds of millions of Chinese sons and daughters more than 1,600 years later, so that every Chinese in later generations gritted their teeth with hatred, eager to chop them into meat foam and then trample on them, and then chop them ......

In the history of Chinese civilization, there are three historical turns, the first was in the Ming Dynasty, with the rapid economic development of the southern part of the Ming Empire, capitalism began to sprout, and there was a great trend of transition from feudal to semi-feudal and semi-capitalist social system. At this time, the Japanese people came out, and their army disguised themselves as pirates to cause chaos in Fujian, Zhejiang, and the coastal areas of Shandong, which greatly slowed down the capitalization process of the Ming Dynasty. In the end, the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty completely cut off the road of national capitalism in China.

The second turning point was during the Westernization Movement at the end of the Qing Dynasty. With the introduction of the strategy of razing and destroying the country, the Manchu government gradually began to reform and learn advanced science and management systems from the West. However, just as the Manchu regime was achieving initial results in various fields, the Sino-Japanese War broke out...... The Japanese once again succeeded in blocking the path of the Chinese nation's pursuit of progress, opening the prelude to the century-old history of humiliation of the Chinese nation.

Not to mention the third turning point - the Second World War. Needless to say, this tragic war of aggression has damaged the national economy of the Chinese nation, and more than 12 million compatriots have died unexpectedly. May Third Massacre, Nanjing Massacre...... Bloody events have witnessed this human tragedy. The Chinese civilization was almost wiped out.

Therefore, after Luan Yi completed the unification of the empire and destroyed the fierce enemies on the grassland, he first thought of the Wa State, the enemy of the enemy. Blood debts will be paid with blood, and the revenge of the Hereafter will be avenged in this life.

The Chinese nation of today is no longer the weak Chinese nation of later generations.

Of course, in addition to revenge, the reason why Luan Yi was in a hurry to eliminate the Japanese slaves was also out of concern for the Japanese people. This group of people living on small islands, despite their small population and small land area, but it is precisely because of the sparse population and weak national strength that they are afraid of the behemoth of China. They live in the middle of China and North Korea. It is precisely because of this sword of Damocles that hangs over their heads at all times that they have to desperately make themselves strong - they have developed a strong learning ability.

They learn, but they learn everything that is good. In the fourth century they were still in the Bronze Age, but in the fifth century, the entire Japanese society completed the iron reform, and it took them less than 100 years to learn from the Tang Dynasty that others had completed in four or five hundred years to complete the transition from bronze to iron. They are already smart and have a strong ability to learn and imitate, so they have cultivated the ability to extract the essence from the dross. The technology of the West is high, and they learn from the West. Although they have never stood at the top of the world, they have never been pulled down.

This nation is like their national flag, like a dog skin plaster, following the strong.

Luan Yi feared that one day, the would-be slaves would learn the existing knowledge and technology of the Holy Huaxia Empire, and turn around and harm the empire again. It's not like nothing like this has ever happened. Therefore, in order to prevent future troubles, he decided to completely wipe out the Japanese kingdom.

Of course, the reason for these combined with the experience of later generations cannot be said with the Korean Chinese martial arts. In order to persuade Wenwu to agree to his dispatch of troops to the Wa Kingdom, he gave another answer - there is a large amount of copper ore on the island of the Wa people, and copper ore is precisely the most scarce mineral in the empire now. Therefore, the empire needed to capture the Wa kingdom and snatch the rich copper minerals from the barbarian Wa people.

As soon as he heard this, Wenwu's eyes lit up. Now they are no longer the moral models of the Confucianism period when the sons of the hundred schools of thought respected them. In their eyes, what is bullying and convincing people with virtue, that is the way of communication between people, there is no eternal friendship between countries, only eternal interests.

As long as this battle is beneficial to the Empire, it is worth fighting.
