Chapter 215: Unified Weights and Measures

Although it was not yet fully built, the scholars and merchants who had come to see it as a magnificent academy like a castle.

Whether it is a scholar who has the opportunity to go in to study, or a scholar who does not have the opportunity to enter, they are all waiting for the day when the construction of Handan College will be completed. With the help of the merchants, the name of Handan College spread all over the world almost like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

And together with Handan College, it is the name of the chief engineer - Mofeng.

Immediately afterwards, there was a craze for learning ink in the world, and countless scholars rushed to Handan from all over the country to seek Mo's teachings.

Mo Feng was happy and uncomfortable, happy that the Mo family not only did not perish in his hands, but became stronger and stronger. What is uncomfortable is that the Mo family is short of manpower, and they still have to build an academy, which can't teach so many people.

Even Qi Mo, Qin Mo, and Chu Mo also took advantage of this wave of dividends to make a big circle, and they attracted the scholars of their own country under the name of being one of the world's ink scholars.

The Mohists, who had been gradually declining, were like inflated balloons, constantly colliding, and even faintly overpowering Confucianism.

Subsequently, Confucianism was not to be outdone, and the Confucian factions that were already about to fight the dog's brain, with the help of Xunzi, united the front and gathered in Handan to crusade against heresy.

Xunzi first dealt with a few battles by himself, and then handed them over to his disciples Han Fei and Li Si.

When have two ignorant young people encountered this situation, they were about to be sprayed into fools even after losing battles.

Xunzi didn't have any sympathy, but every night when they came back, he threw them some books and asked them to spray them back after studying.

Han Fei and Li Si are both smart people, constantly absorbing nutrients, and growing rapidly in the indoctrination of scolding.

Soon, the Confucian factions seemed to realize that they had become Xunzi's tools for educating his disciples, and they no longer went into battle in person, but sent their own disciples out.

So, the spring of Han Fei and Li Si came......

The two of them suffered the loss of age, and they were not the opponents of their elders, so they were not the opponents of these peers?

The two joined forces to kill all sides. Whatever the division commander of these people sprayed them, they sprayed these people how they sprayed.

Soon, Han Fei and Li Si made a lot of fame in Handan.

Others in Confucianism have taken aim at other schools of thought.

The first thing they challenged was the Mohists, and the reason was the battle of ideas, which was also the most used reason for debate between various schools.

The real reason is that the Mohists have recently overshadowed Confucianism, and Mofeng has built the Mohist Academy bigger than the Confucian College. It's too wasteful to build such a big academy for yourself, so let's use it!

But how could Mo Feng agree.

It is impossible to agree to give the academy to Confucianism, and it is impossible to debate with Confucianism.

His own family knows his own affairs, Zhao Mo seems to be huge, but in fact, there are only three or five big cats, and the rest are kittens that have just been recruited recently, how can they be the opponents of these professional trolls?

So he refused to build an academy.

"My Mo family is pragmatic, and I don't do children's verbal disputes!"

This is Confucianism, but there is no way to take the Mo family, so he can only target the Legalist family and Gongsun Long, the famous representative who just arrived.

The three factions debate in the ring every day, and sometimes they even use their hands, attracting countless people to watch.

Zhao Kuo specially arranged a venue for them, and sent someone to record the content of the debate, and the outside was surrounded by a fence, and if you want to come in, you can buy a ticket first, and you can also bet on which side wins.

Zhao Kuo took this opportunity to make a lot of money.

There are also representatives of the Yang Zhu School and the Huang Lao School who came from all over the country, and there are also representatives of doctors who were tempted by the "Medical Codex" and came from all over the country.

Even if they are not famous doctors, they have rushed to Handan, everyone knows that at this time, Handan must be a gathering of famous doctors, even if they are spectators to learn some skills, they can eat and drink after they go back.

Even the descendants of schools such as Kanyujia, astrologer, and physiognomy came from all over the world.

For example, Tang Ju, the physiognomist who faced Li Dui and Cai Ze, as well as astrologers Shi Shen and Gan De, also came from Wei and Qi, both of whom were astrologers and astronomers on the same level as Yin Gao of Zhao State.

Some of them want to promote their own doctrines, some take the opportunity to find famous teachers, and some want to fish in troubled waters.

Handan has become the most prosperous city in the world, and new residential areas and streets have gradually appeared outside the city.

Now that the first phase of Handan Academy is about to be completed, the smile on Mo Feng's face is becoming more and more unconcealable, and he even has a smile when he salutes Zhao Kuo.

Less than half an hour later, the male rice transfer finally came.

"My subordinates meet the king." Gong Yi leaned over and said.

Not long ago, Gong Zheng heard that the new King of Zhao attached great importance to the technology of the workers, so he rushed from Chu to Zhao and was appointed by Zhao Kuo as a public teacher, mainly responsible for improving and popularizing agricultural tools.

"Sit down." Zhao Kuo pointed to his seat and said.

"No."

After the public rice was seated, Zhao Kuo said: "This time I called everyone over for one thing: to unify weights and measures!" โ€

The so-called weights and measures refer to the general standards used to measure the length, volume, and weight of objects. The instrument for measuring the length is called the degree, the instrument for measuring the volume is called the quantity, and the tool for measuring the weight of the object is called the scale.

Zhao Kuo originally thought that before the First Emperor unified the world, even if the weights and measures between countries were not unified, they should be unified within each country, but later learned that even the weights and measures within each country were not unified.

For example, the length, one foot refers to the distance between the thumb and middle finger of an adult man, and one chi refers to the distance from the thumb to the middle finger of the woman's hand after it is extended, so the length is slightly shorter than the ruler.

There are also places where 100 grains of millet are arranged in a row to make a ruler, and the vertical pendulum is the vertical ruler, and the horizontal pendulum is the horizontal ruler.

In addition, there are also ไปž and Xun, which are the length of a person's outstretched arms.

Wait a minute.

It doesn't seem like a problem, and it's reasonable.

The question is, there are more people in the world, and everyone's length is different, according to whose standard?

Follow yours? How old are you?

According to the monarch's? And if the king is dead? And then according to the next generation of monarchs?

With the development of society, countries gradually realized this problem and began to make standard tools for unified weights and measures.

This is a good thing, and it marks the gradual unification of weights and measures.

However, in reality, it is still different countries with different standards. The same country, different regions, and different standards.

There are big and small rulers, there are big and small buckets, and there are large acres and small acres of acres.

Back then, the Tian family relied on small buckets to enter and exit, bought the hearts of the people of Qi State, and "bought" the entire Qi country.

If all the buckets in the Qi Kingdom were the same size at the beginning, it would be impossible for the Tian clan to 'buy' the Qi Kingdom, and they could only use other methods.

There are also regions that belong to that country yesterday, to this country today, to another country tomorrow, and finally to several criteria.

Including Yejun, Shangdang, Jixi and other places in Zhao, they still use the weights and measures of their homeland, which has brought great inconvenience to Zhao's tax collection and commodity circulation.

Can this be played?
