Chapter 317: The Heart of Sacrificing Everything
The muscles on Qin Huaimin's face trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes became extremely sharp.
The weights and measures of the five major countries were unified as early as 900 years after the transcendent calendar, and there were two ways to achieve the promotion ceremony of 'Shang Ying Fang Sheng', which was placed in front of the Qin family's father and son.
One of them forcibly implemented a set of maverick weights and measures in the Guyue Kingdom, and after this set of weights and measures was applied to all walks of life and all aspects of the Guyue Kingdom, this set of weights and measures would be abolished and unified with the other four countries.
The disadvantage of this option is that it takes a long time span, at least several years, and it can cause a lot of confusion and loss.
The second is to unify the weights and measures of the five great powers and the giants, sea tribes and other alien races.
In order to maintain their interests, the merchants of the five great powers deliberately guided the giants and sea tribes to use their own units of measurement, such as one bone and one shell.
It is a relatively simple matter to unify the weights and measures of the alien races, and it is enough to forcibly issue a decree, as for the alien race, as long as they are told that after the unified weights and measures, they will no longer be deceived in the trade with humans, and the aliens must be willing to cooperate.
But there is a huge problem with this plan, and if it is done, it will offend almost all the merchants of the five major countries.
The giants are okay, they are scarce in number, and they don't trade much with humans.
However, the sea tribe is different, the sea is rich in products, and the merchants of the five major countries would rather cross the heavy soil, but also go to the sea of the sea, the devil's sea, the dead sea, the dragon sea and other sea areas to trade with the sea tribe (the sea tribe cannot leave the water for a long time, can only trade on the coastline), the trade volume is very amazing, and the profit is also huge.
Once the weights and measures were unified, the sea tribes would no longer sell their seabed specialties to human merchants in their entirety, but would trade them in different categories and at different prices, so that the profits obtained by the merchants would be greatly reduced.
All merchants will hold a grudge against the ancient moon kingdom and the nobles behind the merchants
And there is another key point, Zhou Chang, an ally of the Qin family
