"The affairs of the countries of the Western Regions are just a trivial matter for the current Great Qin, and this matter will be handed over to the four departments of Meng Yi Aiqing, and I will not ask. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere is still a month to go before the New Year, and Lao Zongzheng has already written to say that the northeastern counties are still stable, and they will return to Xianyang in about the next year. But now that Meng Aiqing is back, there are some things that you Aiqing can discuss. ”

Hu Hai put down the wine bottle and said with a straight face.

"Your Honors, I beg the Holy Oracle!"

Indeed, the Western Regions was too far away in the hearts of the Great Qin Ministers. If it weren't for Hu Hai's interest in it and the attack on Beacon City, it is estimated that when Hu Hai ordered the White Tiger Army to move westward, it would have been opposed by the ministers.

"Shang Fang Tian Aiqing has played to me many times, and said that the weights and measures set by Lao Cheng for many years I think that they are no longer suitable for the needs of my Great Qin, and all kinds of weapons in Shangfang and even my Great Qin need more accurate, more specific and smaller measurements. Therefore, I ordered many professors from the Household Department, Shangfang, and the Great Qin Royal Academy to redefine my Great Qin weights and measures. ”

In fact, Hu Hai has long been thinking about formulating more accurate weights and measures. For example, the Shangdang Yellow River embankment, Handan Iron Yard, Guangling Huaihe Bridge and other huge projects require extremely accurate data to be able to avoid deviations. If physics and chemistry want to develop, weights and measures that are as accurate as millimeters, centimeters, grams, and two are extremely important.

After all, scientific experiments require not only rigor, but also data. Just like gunpowder, the slightest mistake can lead to a catastrophe. In this matter, those who were tortured by gunpowder were the most vocal.

There was silence in the study.

The ministers who were sitting slowly put down the chopsticks in their hands, thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.

"Your Majesty, the matter of redefining the system of weights and measures is too important, if it is really recustomized and changed, then all kinds of measurement tools that have been used in the countless county governance pavilions in dozens of counties of Daqin will need to be invalidated and recast. The cultivated land that has just been measured also needs to be re-measured and registered; In the past ten years since the Great Qin unified the world, I have used the various registers of weights and measures formulated by the old prime minister to record all kinds of records, and so on, please think twice, Your Majesty. ”

The first person to stand up against it was not Li You, but Feng Quji.

Hu Hai was silent.

He knew that what Feng Quji said was the truth, and it was the biggest problem in front of him to replace and reformulate new weights and measures. Once the more accurate weights and measures were reformulated, then all kinds of rosters, all kinds of geographical classics, and so on in the treasury of the Great Qin Mansion now existed, and everything needed to be recompiled.

It's going to be a huge undertaking.

But then again, reorder more accurate weights and measures. But sooner rather than later. After all, although the current various classics and things such as the gradual creation of books in the government treasury have been used for more than ten years, they are not much, and if they are changed in a few years or more and when there is really no way, I am afraid it will be more complicated and difficult.

"Your Majesty, what Elder Feng Ge said, the lower officials did not dare to agree. Xia Guan thought that this new and more accurate weights and measures were already something that my Great Qin could not delay. It is true that at this time, I Daqin will face many difficulties in replacing and using new weights and measures, but if I Daqin is forced to reformulate and replace it after more than ten years, I am afraid that it will hurt even more to the bone marrow. ”

It was Zuo Shilang and Shangfang Chengtian Ren of the Ministry of Works, who had been writing to Hu Hai to request that more accurate and detailed weights and measures be reformulated.

More than 20 important ministers of the court and the central government whispered to each other, whether it was Feng Qujian or Tian Ren, what the two of them said made sense. The most important thing to think about these days is to consider. Is there a need for Daqin to reformulate new weights and measures.

If it is really needed, then it is clear that Tian Ren's point of view is more appropriate.

"Tian Shilang, has my Great Qin reached the point where I have to reformulate weights and measures?" Feng Quji looked at Tian Ren and asked what he wanted to ask in his heart.

"Going back to Feng Ge's old words, Xia Guan thinks that it is urgent to reformulate weights and measures." Tian Ren looked at Feng Quji's firm and affirmed the truth.

"I guess you have seen the power of gunpowder, right?" Hu Hai took over and said. "The slightest error in the ratio of gunpowder can make the monks in charge of proportioning gunpowder to pieces. If I Daqin can't use more accurate weights and measures, gunpowder can't be mass-produced on a large scale except for those who can make it. Once there is an error. I don't need to talk about the consequences. ”

The hall suddenly fell silent.

Everyone has seen the power of gunpowder, especially Feng Quji, who was the first to see the power of a large amount of gunpowder explosion. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is earth-shattering. Gold and stone can be blown to pieces, not to mention human flesh and blood.

"The old minister thinks this is feasible." Wei Yi expressed his position at this time

As a military master of Great Qin, Wei Yu has to see the impact of gunpowder on future wars more clearly than everyone, and for the sake of gunpowder, he also specially asked Hu Hai to have a secret talk, in his opinion, the power of this gunpowder seems to have been known by the emperor for a long time, since he knows, then he will definitely understand how to use it.

As for what exactly this secret talk says, no one knows. The only thing that can be known is that after Wei Yu has finished writing the military book "Wei Yuzi", he is now starting to write again. Only Hu Hai knew that the last article added by Wei Yi was actually a discussion of the use of gunpowder in military warfare.

"The subordinate seconded." Meng Tian also interfaced.

Although Meng Tian had not seen the power of gunpowder with his own eyes, he had heard of it, not to mention that in Meng Tian's opinion, the weights and measures of Daqin with steps and rulers as the smallest units were indeed a bit out of place.

"The ministers seconded it!"

Two successive imperial ministers agreed to revise the weights and measures that were now in use by Great Qin for more than ten years, and a group of important ministers in the study bowed in unison.

"Okay, this matter will be carried out by the professors of Shang Fang, Hubu, and the Great Qin Royal Academy. Tian Aiqing, Kong Aiqing, and Zhang Aiqing are in charge. ”

Now that the ministers have all agreed, Hu Hai took the opportunity to give this matter.

Hu Hai and Tian Ren have discussed the matter of reformulating weights and measures several times, not to mention that it is accurate to the millimeter level, at least the centimeter must be accurate, right? The unit of weight is not to be accurate to the gram, at least two and centi.

Regarding the principles and formulas of gravity, density, etc., Hu Hai has discussed with Tian Ren, and in the case of knowing the acceleration of gravity, if he wants to obtain more accurate weight units and distance units, although the error must exist, it can still be done.

In fact, this is enough in Hu Hai's opinion.

"Then let's talk about the second thing. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Jiujiang, Huiji and other county guards have been playing on me, saying that the people of Jiangdong hope that I can be kind to reunite their relatives and let them return to their hometowns. What do you think about this matter? ”

It has been almost two years since the defeat of Xiang Liang and other remnants of the Six Kingdoms restoration. After this Spring Festival, it will be the third year. The people of Jiangdong have been hoping through various channels that the imperial court can release these children from Jiangdong and return home for reunion. These news were transmitted to the imperial court from several counties in Jiangdong, and Wu Rui, the county guard of Jiujiang, was the most determined one.

Soon after Hu Hai returned to Xianyang from the South China Sea, Wu Rui, who had rejoined Great Qin, was appointed by Hu Hai as the new Jiujiang County Guardian and the head of Jiujiang County; At the same time that Wu Rui was in charge of Jiujiang, Hu Hai transferred seven county magistrates from Neishi County and was directly promoted to the county guard of Huiji, Hengshan, Yanjun, Surabaya, Chen, Dangjun and Lujiang seven counties.

These eight counties were not affected when Hu Hai killed dozens of county officials later. Moreover, these eight counties should be the eight counties that were most affected by the restoration rebellion, and the county officials of the original counties either took refuge in Xiang Liang and others, or died in the chaos.

However, when he heard Hu Hai say that the people of Jiangdong hoped to let go of those soldiers and return to their hometowns through the counties and counties, the first thought that came to the minds of the important ministers was, Your Majesty, what about Xiang Liang?

bp; Where is Xiang Liang, dead or alive, after Hu Hai re-pacified the world, there were many sayings among the people at the beginning, some said that Xiang Liang escaped by boat like Ziying; Some say that Xiang Liang died in the chaos; It is even said that Xiang Liang was attached to the Son of Heaven.

The third argument should be the most marketable, after all, the Jiangdong clan entrenched in Huiji was not all killed by the emperor, which is a very intriguing thing in itself.

However, with the passage of time, the talk of Xiang Liang and even the Xiang family in Jiangdong has gradually faded away.

After the battle of the unification of Great Qin, and then through the war of the restoration of the Six Kingdoms, the whole world was determined; In addition, after the rebellion was quelled, Hu Hai continued to exempt taxes from light Yao service, abolished all kinds of strict laws, especially the holding of the imperial examination, which won the hearts of scholars in Qichu and other places who regarded themselves as the cultural center of the Central Plains, and gradually gave Great Qin a sense of belonging in the hearts of the people of the original six countries.

However, the important ministers of Great Qin present all knew that the emperor seemed to want to maintain the stability of Jiangdong and did not want to provoke more popular uprisings, so he spared Xiang Liang's life. At least when Hu Hai was still in the South China Sea, many people knew that Xiang Liang was still with the emperor at that time.

It's just that since the emperor returned to Xianyang from Bashu, no one has seen Xiang Liang again. The emperor didn't say it, and the ministers naturally wouldn't ask without interest, after all, Qin and Chu had a great enmity, and the emperor let Xiang Liang spare the Xiang family, and he was very unwilling to think about it.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done." Meng Tian directly expressed his attitude in the first sentence of his mouth, "The Xiang clan has never been ambushed, Xiang Liang does not know where to go, if these 300,000 Jiangdong soldiers are released back to Jiangdong, if the Xiang clan has a different heart again, the land of Jiangdong will be rekindled."
