Chapter 426: The Establishment of Two Sets of Unit Systems!

Zhu Jianji bowed slightly, "There is one thing to say, why are the scholars so noble from ancient times to the present, and there are so few readers, on the one hand, the books are expensive, on the other hand, the superstructure needs to monopolize the situation, and there is a direct reason, that is, it is too difficult to read and write, but now with the development of the Ming Dynasty, the current readers of the Ming Dynasty are really not enough, and the current scholars are also learning, in the industrial reform, can not train technical professionals, so the education reform is imperative, the first step must be to improve the rhyme, To make reading and literacy simple and popular, followed by the creation of professional and technical schools. ”

Which one is strong in excavation technology, Daming Gyeonggi has Lanxiang!

As for literacy......

I dare not say that the whole country is 100% literate.

The literacy rate should reach more than 40%!

If it is the traditional Ming Dynasty, it is not in line with the interests of the superstructure to carry out literacy and increase the proportion of readers, but in the future Ming Dynasty, there will be many radish pits.

Able to guarantee the vested interests of the superstructure.

There are more readers, and the awakening of the people's ideology is a good thing for the Ming Dynasty who is preparing to enter industrialization, and Zhu Jianji, as the Son of Heaven, is the spokesman of the imperial power, and he likes to hear about it.

The matter of opening up the wisdom of the people is a matter of broad philosophical thinking for the landlord class, and ordinary people do not think about the impact it will have on the interests of the superstructure.

And the people who can think of it are all great talents, or have already made a name for themselves in the court.

This group of people is the advanced productive forces of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if they have self-interested thoughts, it doesn't matter, after all, they are advanced in thinking and far-sighted, and they definitely want to see the Ming Dynasty more prosperous, so the voice of opposition to more readers will not be too loud.

Hang Min nodded frequently when he heard this, and sighed with some emotion, "Weichen will go all out to support His Highness." ”

Zhu Jianji said with a smile: "Then let's take precautions in the Ministry of Industry to implement a new length system-" No, only the length system unit was written on the rice paper just now, and there was no weight system.

In fact, weight is a system unit, which can be changed or not.

At present, according to the weight that an ordinary flat shoulder can pick up, it is set as one stone, one stone is 100 catties, one catty is 16 taels, one tael is 10 yuan, and one coin is 10 points.

It is a bit different from the weight conversion relationship of later generations.

100 catties in the Ming Dynasty were about equal to 60 kilograms in later generations, one catty was 604.79 grams in later generations, one tael was 37.429 grams in later generations, and one coin was 3.7429 grams in later generations.

In contrast, the current weight unit system of the Ming Dynasty is systematic but irregular.

But in fact, as long as the system is clear, it will not be affected.

After all, the weight of this thing, whether it is 500 grams or 600 grams, it is always a catty, and the only impact is some operations in industrialization, which are not easy to measure when they need to be fine.

Especially in the chemical industry.

It needs to be fine to milligrams and micrograms, and this weight system of Daming is a bit out of reach.

Change.

Now that the weight system is the result of Eastern civilization.

Zhu Jianji decisively took a piece of rice paper, wrote down the unit of the weight system, and said to Hang Min after writing: "This is a weight unit created by the unit of solitude and length together, and it is a complete system." ”

The new weight unit system, one pound is five hundred grams.

But how to determine five hundred grams in Daming?

Very simple.

The rough method is to directly remove 1 catty 16 taels from 2 taels and 8 yuan, and the rest is 500 grams.

But this is not fine.

So Zhu Jianji has an easier way.

Said to Hang Min: "The Ministry of Industry will arrange manpower to contact the glaze workshop to produce some one-centimeter-square glazed square bottles under the new length system, this bottle is filled with water, and the weight of this water is one gram!" ”

Hang Mi was dizzy when he heard this, "Or, or Your Highness will personally handle this matter?" ”

He really doesn't understand.

Even if His Highness has said it very clearly, for him, these things are like an ignorant schoolboy facing a lot of complicated people.

Hard.

Zhu Jianji thought about it.

First of all, the length unit system has not yet been determined, for example, the meter, the original standard of "1 meter" is 1/20 million of the length of the prime meridian, that is, 1/10 million of the distance from the South Pole or the North Pole to the equator. However, since it was later discovered that the earth was not a normal sphere, the definition of "1 meter" was changed to the standard length of a metal ruler made of a certain alloy. Later, when lasers became popularized, the definition of "meter" was changed to the multiple of the wavelength of the light wave, and due to the uncertainty theorem, it was impossible to obtain an accurate measure of length and time at the same time. Therefore, in 1983, the International Organization of Weights and Measures changed the definition of the speed of light to 299,792,458 m/s.

Can Da Ming get this thing?

No.

It can only be converted from the relationship between one zhang and rice, but the results obtained are definitely inaccurate.

And the unit of length is not exact, so it is almost impossible to get an exact cubic centimeter of water, and it can only be said that it is as close to the correct value as possible.

So you really have to do it yourself.

Said helplessly: "Okay, these two tables of measurement unit system, you take them back and think about it first, and set up a special department with some people who understand mathematics in the Academy of Engineering of the Ministry of Engineering, and after Gu ascends the throne, Gu will personally go to the Academy of Engineering to preside over this matter!" ”

Hang Min commanded.

Zhu Jianji said: "This matter will be resolved after Gu ascends the throne for the time being, and the Ministry of Industry will first focus on the matter of increasing the laying of steel tracks on the cement official road, and this matter must be resolved within a month." ”

Hang Min continued to lead the order.

Zhu Jianji said with a smile: "Uncle, what you have paid over the years, my nephew sees it in my eyes, and my nephew won't say anything about some scenes, but what my nephew wants to say, if the prosperous China that my nephew wants to build is really successful, then in the history books of later generations for thousands of years, the six words of Hang Min, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, will definitely be accompanied by dazzling words!" ”

After a pause, "Uncle's name in history will never be lower than Yu Qian, the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Hang Min haha.

If it is under normal circumstances, the courtiers will only think that this is Zhu Jianji painting cakes, but the current situation in the Ming Dynasty is very clear, not to mention the things he Hang Min did, just the command of the young army made Wang Yue's reputation in military affairs, and in later generations, it will not be lower than the Tang Dynasty military god Li Jing and Han Xin of the Han Dynasty!

If it really comes out of the cement official road planned by His Royal Highness.

Got a steam engine.

Two new systems of length and weight were developed.

The word Hang Min......

It must be one of the two most shining words among the courtiers in the history books of the Ming Dynasty.

Hang Min was about to retire, and before leaving, he said: "Since His Royal Highness called Uncle Weichen, then say what Uncle should say, Your Highness, Chen Xun and Lu Yu are still in the side hall, it seems that there are only two people, in fact, behind them is the entire Ming landlord group, after you ascend the throne, to solve the serious problem of land annexation, you must be cautious, as much as possible to get the support of the landlord group, and even give up some interests, and Weichen also believes that once the Ming Dynasty goes down according to His Royal Highness's blueprint, the land tax, It is very likely that it will no longer be the main source of income for the state treasury, but after all, land is the foundation of all resources, and after moving the interests of the landlord group, it is still necessary to give the landlord group a pie in other aspects as much as possible. ”

To put it bluntly, it is an exchange of interests.

Zhu Jianji smiled: "What my uncle said is true." ”

That's true.

The current development of the Ming Dynasty is really inseparable from the support of the landlord group, and after all, the Ming Dynasty is a feudal society, and it is impossible to really eliminate the landlord group, but can only transform the landlord group into a capital group.

So it's hard to come and it's unrealistic.

Only the exchange of benefits is feasible.
