Zi Shou's gaze wandered, so he asked him what he was going to do first.

It is not the first time that a Taoist disciple has entered the court as an official, and there are people above Wen Zhong and Li Jing.

But Zhao Gongming is different, the immortal road is successful, why should he enter the court as an official for the sake of human affairs?

Zhao Gongming stood up, and a dirt pit appeared where he was squatting just now.

He took the freshly cut out stone and said, "Your Majesty, Poor Dao just tripped over this stone, but I didn't expect it to be a piece of jade." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Gongming exerted a little force, and the weathering layer on the surface of the stone instantly turned into powder, revealing a piece of white and flawless jade.

Can you still dig up jade in the palace?

But think about it again, Zhao Gongming is the later God of Wealth, this is the world of gods, and it is normal for luck to dig out jade, and if you walk around Chaoge City, you may be able to pick up a sack of gold.

"That's what you're going to offer?"

"Definitely. Zhao Gongming shook his head, casually put the jade on the ground, took out a ruler and said: "This is a Qiankun ruler, which is used to measure heaven and earth, and can measure the length of things..."

Zhao Gongming boasted about the Qiankun ruler, which means that I have specially come to formulate the standard of weights and measures.

In fact, even in the mythical world, the origin of weights and measures is the wisdom of the ancestors, not some immortal magic weapon.

The Yellow Emperor created the degree, measure, weight, li, and number, and coordinated the unified weights and measures of the various tribes during the Shun Winter Patrol, while Xia Yu used the rules and standards to control the floods, and used his own length and weight as the length and weight standard.

This is all the credit of the ancestors of the human race.

However, the magic weapon can indeed play a role in formulating standard units, such as the length and weight standards formulated by Xia Yu, after hundreds of years, it has long become messy.

After all, copper rulers, wooden rulers, stone rulers, and even the bone rulers used in the Shang Dynasty today are easy to wear.

Now don't talk about the princes of various places, it is a place in Henan with Chaoge as the center, and the weights and measures are generally not uniform, and there are long and short rulers everywhere, and some are still ancestral and have a history of more than 100 years.

Although commercial development began after the appearance of copper coins, it was still slow, and the reasons for this were that weights and measures were not uniform, and that buying and selling vegetables were bundled, and profiteers could inject water at will.

After showing off the Qiankun ruler, Zhao Gongming took out another bronze bucket: "This is a measuring bucket...."

Then he took out a smooth stick, a hook to hook something, and a rope to carry it, and a brass cone, and put them together.

"Poor Dao calls it a scale, which is divided into three parts: a weighing rod, a weighing rope and a weighing hammer. ”

"This scale is the most difficult to measure among weights and measures, and it takes a lot of effort to find the crosshairs of the scales. ”

Zhao Gongming took out a bead: "This is a Dinghai pearl, which weighs one catty." ”

Then he tied Dinghaizhu with a rope and hung it on the scale hook, lifted the rope on the scale with one hand to pull Dinghaizhu off the ground, and with the other hand dialed the scale hammer hanging on the scale rod.

Until the scale rod became stable, Zhao Gongming took the scale rod to the front of Zi Shou, no more, no less, just on the scale of one catty.

Then he took out other Dinghai pearls and hung them on the scale hook with the first Dinghai pearl in turn, two catties, three catties, and four catties......

Meticulous.

Zhao Gongming said proudly: "The things offered by the poor road are these weights and measures, as long as they are imitated according to these three treasures and popularized, they can make everyone in the world use the same kind of weights and measures, in addition, they only need to be checked once a year to ensure that there are no more errors." ”

He believed that no king could refuse the temptation of weights and measures, and that the Yellow Emperor, Shun, and Yu, who formulated weights and measures, were all Ming monarchs praised by thousands of people.

After the king accepts weights and measures, he will definitely thank him for his merits and reward high-ranking officials, so that his career has a very high starting point, and there is also the merit of unified weights and measures.

It is not in vain that he chased the burning lamp for more than half a month, and the Qiankun ruler has merit and the burning lamp has naturally known for a long time, but the burning lamp is not a person in the sect, and the Yuan Shi Tianzun does not dare to gamble like Tongtian, he does not dare to press the magic weapon on the human dynasty, a careless, not only does not get the merit, but also will be counterattacked.

Zishou looked at Zhao Gongming's smug expression, a little speechless.

If this thing was to be made, he would have made it a long time ago, as long as he had seen scales and measuring buckets, it was easy to imitate it.

At most, there is a deviation in the base unit, but he is the boss, he has the final say, whether the benchmark measurement is long or short, it doesn't matter at all, Xia Yu can point to his height and weight as a unit, he just pointed to the round Yin and said that Lao Yin only has a hundred catties and there is no problem.

Britain's inches-feet were far from the metric units, and it didn't affect them to build steam engines and dreadnought-class battleships, ensuring that there would be no problems with a standard.

Zishou was about to say no, but suddenly he accidentally saw the jade thrown by Zhao Gongming just now, and changed his mind.

The road narrowed.

The unification of weights and measures will certainly be praised, but the unified person is not himself, and others want to praise Zhao Gongming.

And after unifying weights and measures, the benefits are great.

The first is the Huashi Gang against the princes.

Just set the weights and measures, all the standards are decided by Chaoge, Xibohou's stone is too long and unqualified, Nanbohou's stone is too heavy and unqualified, in this way, isn't it more convenient?

And as the extravagance and waste of their own wine pond meat forest spread, there needs to be a more intuitive unit for people to understand how much is being spent.

The meat forest costs XXXX meat a day, and the people of Chaoge know that it costs dozens of cattle and dozens of sheep, and it is transmitted to Beihai, and the weight unit is not uniform, and XXXX is the weight of a chicken in Beihai.

This won't work!

"There is a long way of labor, I have a long way, and I have a long way, and I can get water!"

Zishou paused, this sentence seems to have been said to anyone before, but it is not a big problem, you have to change the water to raise small goldfish.

He continued: "I want to send Dao Chang to promote copper coins and weights and measures together with Dao Chang Xiao and Dao Chang Cao, I don't know what to do with Chang Yi?"

Now there are no positions such as the Minister of Finance and the Secretary of the Ministry of Households, after all, the currency is not in circulation, but as long as the copper money is promoted, new positions can be created, and it will be up to Lao Zhao to sell the official mantle at that time.

This kind of cultivator is definitely not familiar with political affairs, so he is so foolish, depending on his level of picking up jade everywhere, most of them can earn money, making money is a good thing, building a wonder and building the Great Wall requires money, plan well, and can also establish a greedy image of competing with the people and the nobles for profit.

"The minister obeys the order!" Zhao Gongming directly called the minister, he was very satisfied with this starting point, and he did it to promote weights and measures, where to find such a king?

He is not greedy for the merit of Mochen, others don't know, he knows better than anyone else, this is a great merit!

It's no wonder that he and Shizun could see countless golden lights of merit in Chaoge before.

Zishou thought about the new weights and measures, thought about it, and thought about Longji.

People don't care about their weight these days, but he cares about Longji's weight.

I used to live in the mountains, and I was confined by the Emperor of Heaven, and most of the food was not good, but now I come out, I eat steamed buns every day, and I should be more plump if I don't eat anything, and it is also a good thing to be able to accurately grasp the weight changes of Longji.
