Chapter 97 Great Weights and Measures

……

With the announcement made by the Government Affairs Department, it did not attract many people.

After all, it's just a package of food, but because of the reason in the north of the city, it is within the city range, and the distance is relatively close, which can always attract some people.

Liu Tong's requirements for the number of people are not very high, just a few dozen people.

For the huge city of Bonggao, there are more than 80,000 workers in the entire city of Bonggo, but in this way, it is difficult to gather dozens of people with experience as carpenters and blacksmiths.

In the end, Liu Tong had no choice, so he added one to the announcement, and issued an additional ten five-baht coins a day to recruit enough people.

"It's amazing, you can make things according to the drawings." Lu Min looked at the wheel in front of him, and his heart was quite satisfied.

I didn't expect that wheels made of wood like this would be so simple for them, and they could make up so much in just one morning.

Lu Min looked at the wheels with his own eyes and noticed a problem.

"Lao Zhang, you come over to me, what's the situation?" Lu Min said to Zhang Li, who was standing not far away.

Zhang Li heard Lu Min's shout, hurriedly ran over, and then said, "What's wrong?" What's the problem? ”

Lu Min casually put the two wheels up, stood on the flat ground, and put the wheels on top of them with his hands to stabilize them.

Lu Min put a small flat plank on two wheels, and the plank was actually tilted?

Looking at this scene, Zhang Lidu was a little stunned, and said in disbelief, "No, we all use our own rulers to make it, according to the length of the drawings." ”

Lu Min compared the proportions and found that there was nothing wrong with the proportions of these wheels, but there was a problem with the simple size, and he understood what the problem was.

"Where's your ruler? Collect them all for me, and engrave your names on the back of the ruler. Lu Min turned his head to Zhang Li and gave an order.

Hearing this, Zhang Li hurriedly turned his head to inform the others and collect the rulers in everyone's hands.

As for the name engraving on the ruler, it is quite simple, Zhang Li can carve the name out in a few breaths with a knife.

After comparing more than a dozen wheels, Lu Min felt that it was a little outrageous, looking at the wheels, it was clear that the proportions were quite excellent, but they couldn't be used, the size was completely inconsistent, so they couldn't make do with it.

"Yuanzheng, I have collected all the rulers." Zhang Li held a large number of rulers in his hand, looked at Lu Min and said.

Lu Min directly reached out from Zhang Li's arms, took two rulers at random, and put them in front of him.

Look at the scale on the ruler, put the two rulers together, and look at the slight difference in the scale.

Shaking his head, Lu Min took a few new rulers for comparison, basically the scale of each ruler is different, and there are subtle differences.

There are even very few rulers, and the gap is ridiculously large.

"Let's stop what we're doing, it looks like we have something that needs to be unified first." Lu Min took the ruler in his hand, showed the scale on it, and said to Zhang Li, "The scale of the ruler is different, no wonder the size of the wheels made is different, fortunately, I am supervising on the spot, if this is done all the time, wouldn't it be a waste of time for several days?" ”

Zhang Li's face broke out in a cold sweat at this moment, because he barely knew some words, so he was only serving as the second-in-command of this place now, and he knew a little bit about some things.

Naturally, we know that the size of the wheels is inconsistent, what will happen if you put it on top of the carriage?

I also know that this place of work seems to be the place where the Taishan County Government Alley, and the attitude of work is naturally different from other places.

In this case, how dare you be perfunctory, not to mention that the family has to count on their own work in order to have extra food to live.

"I'll go and inform you, and please rest assured." Zhang Li immediately answered, and then turned around and went to inform the others.

Lu Min couldn't help but look at the entire courtyard, which was originally empty, after a few days of construction.

There are many more sheds in the yard, and under the sheds are all kinds of wood and timber, which are the main raw materials for construction, and they fill most of the yard.

Looking at this scene, Liu Tong, who was controlling Lu Min, was really in no mood to speed up the construction of the carriage, but chose to find out in the memorandum how to make a unified length standard.

Sure enough, sometimes, the most basic things are the most fatal.

Liu Tong is really a little incomprehensible, this is Taishan Fenggao City, within a city, the length of the ruler can actually have a gap, is it so outrageous?

Qin Shi Huang has unified weights and measures for so many years, hasn't he solved this problem?

Only by witnessing these with his own eyes can Liu Tong thoroughly understand why there are big buckets in and small buckets out, and he can also understand why Qin Shi Huang, who unified weights and measures, and unified the content of weights and measures, is one of Qin Shi Huang's great achievements.

"It seems that the most important task now is to find a way to unify the scales on the ruler, otherwise the rhythm of the end will be over, and the gap between the rulers made is still so big in such a small range." Liu Tong can't believe it now, in the whole world, how big is the gap in the scope of the ruler?

Just do what he said, without the slightest hesitation, Liu Tong looked at the length unit in the memo.

Direct operation control Lu Min started production in the courtyard of the Civil Science and Technology Research Center.

After confirming that there is no one around, he directly turns another internal air ball into a ruler, which is exactly the same as the rice in his memory, and then solidifies it directly.

According to this ruler, select the corresponding wood and make an exact scale ruler.

After that, following the same rhythm, a ten-meter-long and commonly used standard 30-centimeter ruler is made.

Then the other people who were working in the courtyard under Lu Min's order were reproduced according to the length of the ruler.

After that, all the people who worked in the Civil Science and Technology Research Center measured their length according to the current standard ruler, and as for the rulers they carried before, they all gave up using them.

At the same time, in order to change the remaining length habits in their minds, Liu Tong directly chose another method, which is simple, direct and more efficient.

This method is very simple, that is, to add money, directly double the salary, and everyone in the courtyard instantly had no opinion, without the slightest hesitation, they gave up the ruler in their hands and replaced it with a new ruler made by Lu Min.
