Chapter 116: Weights and Measures

Yes, Sun Quan gave up treatment.

The Ministry of Industry, which he worked so hard to establish, is completely incomparable with the Ministry of Industry of Xuzhou.

Well, the steam engine was built. The principle is very simple, he understands everything.

However, that feature is simply unbearable to look at.

Damn, with such a broken steam engine, he might as well use two more donkeys.

Even the steam engine is like this, let alone an excavator.

Sun Quan can imagine that not to mention two years, even if he is given twenty years, he will not want to build an excavator like Lu Bu.

However, Sun Quan couldn't help but be shocked by Lu Bu's excavator.

When that shovel goes down, it's a big piece of soil!

The canal project, which was originally unimaginable, was dug up day by day.

If he also has such an excavator, not to mention anything else, then road construction is not an N-fold improvement.

If you want to get rich, build roads first.

Sun Quan believed this famous sentence that Lu Bu said.

It is believed that there is no better machinery, let him use a shovel to repair the road!

The people won't give him a shovel!

Therefore, Sun Quan had to change his thinking.

Since Lu Bu is so good at talking, is it possible to buy machinery.

Both sides are doing business in such harmony and friendship, it should be possible.

Look, the foot-operated threshing machine is sold by Lu Bu.

With this thing, the threshing efficiency has been completely increased several times.

There is also the curved plow, which greatly improves the efficiency of cultivated land.

There are also rice beaters, flour grinders, flour beaters and so on, but all of them are legendary high-efficiency treasures!

For example, people really can't eat corn, so they just feed it to pigs.

But it has to be powdered, so it's easy to feed!

However, except for Lu Bu, no one had this kind of machinery.

Feed the whole whole, and the pigs dislike it.

Do you know about indigestion?

Therefore, in order to obtain the machinery produced by Lu Bu, Sun Quan had to send an envoy to Xuzhou to negotiate.

The messenger is Zhang Zhao, an old face, familiar and easy to talk about.

After Pang Tong understood Zhang Zhao's intention, he had to report the matter to Lu Bu.

After listening, Lu Bu smiled.

Selling machinery was one of his plans. So, that's not a problem at all.

Now that the internal combustion engine has been successfully developed, the steam engine is not afraid of leakage.

Even if you want a copycat, at the current level under the rule of the candidates, I don't know how many years it will take to get the copycat.

And by that time, he didn't know how powerful he was.

Moreover, whether it is a steam engine or an internal combustion engine, all fuel needs to be supplied by him. As long as you grasp this lifeline, I'm afraid that you Jiangdong will be disobedient.

Therefore, Lu Bu explained some matters to Pang Tong, and then handed them over to Pang Tong to discuss.

Soon, Pang Tong negotiated directly with Zhang Zhao.

In such a big matter, Pang Tong actually had full authority to make the decision, how could Zhang Zhao not be moved.

Take a look, look at the subordinates of Lu Bu, the ministers under the command of others will be able to directly call the shots in diplomacy, okay!

In this regard, everyone in the world can compare.

Zhang Zhao told all the requirements, that is, he wanted to buy all kinds of machinery from Xuzhou.

With some matters explained by Lu Bu, Pang Tong already had a plan in his heart. Therefore, Pang Tong pretended to nod his head constantly to show his approval.

"Hmm!" Pang Tong responded: "The two families have a friendly relationship, and of course there is no problem in buying machinery." How much Jiangdong wants, how much I export from Xuzhou. It's just that Wu Hou should also show some sincerity. ”

Knowing that Pang Tong wanted to negotiate conditions, Zhang Zhao said: "This is natural, and I also ask Prime Minister Pang Cheng to say it." ”

Pang Tong smiled: "It's very simple, it's a unified price." Jiangdong's export materials are more expensive than those in Xuzhou. This is not in the interests of the king, what the king wants is the unification of prices in the world. ”

"This!" Zhang Zhao couldn't help but be stuck, how to unify the prices, this is transported from Jiangdong to Xuzhou, the freight alone is not known, and the price is more than two percent, which is already quite little, okay.

But Zhang Zhao didn't dare to call the shots on the spot, so he had to say: "But there are still conditions?" ”

"Yes!" Pang Tong took a sip of tea and said, "The rubber tree has grown!" ”

Zhang Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Well, it has already grown, but if you want liquid rubber, it will take at least a few years." ”

Pang Tong nodded: "Then let's determine the export price of liquid rubber in the future, and I won't bargain for you, a fixed price, five thousand dollars a ton." ”

"A ton?" Zhang Zhao was momentarily stunned.

"Hmm!" Pang Tong said solemnly: "This is my Xuzhou weights and measures, in short, the king will unify the weights and measures in the future, and the whole world will be unified." All transactions in Jiangdong after the month must be subject to my Xuzhou weights and measures. ”

"So, how much is that ton?"

"A ton!" Pang Tong's small eyes narrowed: "Well, let's tell you this." The weight of one cubic meter of water is one ton. The weight of one cubic decimeter of water is one kilogram. A kilogram is a kilogram, and a cubic centimeter of water is a gram. How's that, got it! ”

it!

Zhang Zhao looked entangled, Nima, what the hell is a cubic meter, and what is a kilogram or kilogram.

I don't understand!

Seeing the muscles on Zhang Zhao's face twitch violently, Pang Tong's heart was hehe. Lao Tzu was also so confused at the beginning, and it was very cool to see your expression.

And that's just the weight, I'm going to tell you about the density, volume, or something, and you're not even more confused.

In short, after explaining for a long time, Zhang Zhao finally roughly understood how many stones and how many catties a ton is equal to.

This matter was so big that Zhang Zhao had to report the situation to Sun Quan.

And after Sun Quan read Zhang Zhao's letter, he couldn't help but be silent again.

Weights and measures, this is what the First Emperor did!

In other words, Lu Bu really has the determination and courage to become an emperor through the ages.

But there is no way, now since trading with Lu Bu, Jiangdong is getting richer and richer. Since Lu Bu wanted to unify the weights and measures, he had no way to refuse.

Although the benefits of the price of 20% are huge, if there is Lu Bu's machinery, the production capacity will be greatly increased, and this will not be a loss.

For example, table salt and tea, coarse salt Sun Quan couldn't refine it, so he had to sell it to Lu Bu. Anyway, it was sunburned, and it didn't cost much, and it didn't sell it for nothing.

The same is true for tea, even if you drink tea to the people of Jiangdong every day, you can't finish it, and the tea can't be eaten as a meal.

But even grain is the same, with the hybrid rice presented by Lu Bu, Jiangdong rice has now doubled its yield.

Coupled with other food species, Jiangdong has run out of food. Since you can't finish eating, what do you keep for, it's better to sell it to Lu Bu for money.

As for the rubber liquid, the seeds were originally given by Lu Bu, and Jiangdong was only responsible for planting, and there was not much management.

In the future, I can get 5,000 yuan a ton for nothing, which is already quite a huge amount of money.

Besides, people have already said a fixed price, that is, there is no need to negotiate.

Therefore, Sun Quan didn't say anything more and agreed to the content of the peace agreement.

In this way, a large number of machinery was shipped to Jiangdong, and Jiangdong machinery instantly improved N dimensions.

Even, the hundreds of steam excavators that dug the canal were all sold to Sun Quan.

Xuzhou's diesel excavator with greater kinetic energy has been manufactured, and the steam excavator will naturally be eliminated.

Well, low-class goods, you can throw it to Koto.

And witnessing so many high-efficiency machinery, Jiangdong and all the important ministers were shocked.

Mom, if Lu Bu didn't sell it, let alone ten years, it wouldn't be able to be built in a hundred years!
