Chai Rong walked nine times repeatedly, that is, nine steps. Each step was recorded with a leather rope, took an average value, and then divided by five, which was a length of one foot!

Chai Rong was very careful and did not dare to be careless every time he took a step. The little eunuch in charge of the record stared at him with wide eyes, not daring to make any mistakes.

Just kidding, if this scale is determined, in the future, the world will be measured by thousands of mountains and rivers. This scale will be used as the standard. Even the vassal states of the Great Zhou will come to seek weights and measures from the Great Zhou. To be honest, this is the international standard!

Who dares not take it seriously!

Chai Rong was very happy. Although he did not travel every inch of land, he used his step length as a measure to some extent to satisfy the ambitions of the Lord of the World.

He sat in the golden hall, waiting for the eunuchs and craftsmen to make a tape ruler. Suddenly, Chai Rong remembered something.

"What's wrong, Mr. Li, what you said just now, Emperor Taizong of Tang has determined the length of one step. Why do people still calculate the distance based on steps? Could it be that the lower part is lip service and does not follow Taizong's orders?"

Li Si smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, not only Emperor Taizong of Tang, but in fact, since the Qin and Han Dynasties, all dynasties have re-determined weights and measures, and they are serious and dare not be careless. However, these weights and measures can only be issued to the county level. Usually, the county government will have a ruler and a measurement bucket as a standard. What can we do? Due to financial resources, it is also the ignorance of the people. I don't know how to measure them. Therefore, the weights and measures below are very chaotic."

Li Si said again: "I heard from the former attendant Wang Sanli that ordinary large households will prepare two buckets, one big and one small. When they collect land rent, they use big buckets. If they sell food from takeout or lend food to the people, they use small buckets... This is what the people often say, big buckets are going in, small buckets are going out, and one goes back and forth, they can take advantage of big advantages!"

"It's outrageous!"

Chai Rong slapped the table hard and was furious.

"I understand. It's not difficult to determine the weights and measures. What's difficult is promotion and implementation... Ye Qing, what are your tricks?"

When encountering such a thing, it is usually more reliable to find Ye Hua. Sure enough, he has long been confident.

"Your Majesty, I think that no matter whether it is a ruler or a measure, I must first provide sufficient supply... I think your Majesty can ask the Ministry of Revenue to pay and order it."

As soon as Ye Hua finished speaking, Li Gu stopped doing it, "Champion Hou, what you said is lightweight, making rulers and measuring buckets is a big deal. The three departments promise to provide at most two sets to each prefecture and county, and no matter how many, it won't be done."

Ye Hua asked angrily, "Gong-in-law Li, there are only two sets of units in such a large county. What can we do? Isn't it still the same as before, put it on the shelf and treat it as a decoration?"

Li Gu refused to give in, "I also want to send out a few more sets, but the problem is that the treasury has no money and is powerless!"

He figured it out. Ye Hua must have wanted to get orders for his workshop... Sorry, you want to make money and make up for the losses you had lost a few days ago. I won’t be fooled!

Li Gu bit him to death and couldn't take out the money. Now it's the critical moment to clear the land of Zhangzhang. Your Majesty is so anxious. Nothing else. You, the champion, pay some money and put a ruler for the court. Just make a measurement!

Li Gu thought that no matter what, Ye Hua couldn't escape, and he had made a deposit on this money!

"Your Majesty, if the treasury really can't afford the money, I have a way."

"I just knew Ye Qing had an idea, so tell me quickly."

"Your Majesty, the court can authorize workshops to give special power to create weights and measures... After the workshops are licensed, they will provide free batches of weights and measures to each prefecture and county. All officials responsible for clearing the land can get a standard tape ruler. Then measuring the land can reduce their space for them to work."

Li Gu listened silently. When he heard the franchise, his eyes suddenly widened. He felt something was wrong! Ye Hua really had a bad idea. This is a business that monopolizes weights and measures!

Once it falls into his hands, he still wants to sell as much as he wants!

It's over!

I made a mistake and wanted to make a profit from him, but the kid made a profit again!

"Your Majesty!" Li Gu wanted to stop him, but Chai Rong waved his hand suddenly, "Don't say it, I can agree, but I must get the ruler as soon as possible!"

"Please rest assured, I will make arrangements now!"

...

Ye Hua came out of the Golden Palace and wanted to laugh to the sky.

This old guy, Li Gu, is just a clever person, and you think I will suffer a loss! Tell you, I can’t ask for anything! How much can it cost to send some to the prefectures and counties and support the clearing of land?

At the gate, the Great Zhou established a new weight and measure. From now on, there will be businessmen from all yamen, from all over the country, who doesn’t want a ruler or a measurement bucket, by the way, there is also a scale!

These three average wealthy families have been prepared for one set. How much dosage should it be! Thinking about it makes people excited. I lost money before, but this time I made all the money back!

Ye Hua couldn't help humming a small song and went to the Champions Club to assign tasks.

The craftsmen who are used to making armor and weapons all laughed when they heard that they wanted to make tape rulers, measuring buckets, and scales. What's the difficulty? It's not a big deal!

"Don't be careless, the imperial court needs a lot of things, especially when clearing the land, which requires a very long tape measure, at least ten feet. Are you sure?"

"No problem, please look at it!"

The craftsmen patted their chests and assured Ye Hua.

In fact, over the past few years, the craftsmen of the Champions League have already used hydraulic machinery to the extreme.

They made hydraulic forging beds, used to knock on plate armor, make swords, and also made hydraulic saws, which can be used to saw wood and divide cowhide and sheepskin, which is even more difficult.

There are also skillful female workers in the workshop who can carefully sew the cut leather together and connect it to a long one, and then the craftsman prints the scale, and a tape measure is basically completed.

In order to carry and use, craftsmen also borrowed the kite's spool. They can usually retract the tape ruler and look at the wooden box outside. When they are used, they will use up the rotary spool and retract it. It is very convenient.

As for measuring buckets and scales, it was not difficult. In three days, Ye Hua happily met Chai Rong with the finished product.

When three treasures were placed in front of him, Chai Rong's heart thumped.

He first picked up the tape ruler and pulled the copper ring. The half-inch-wide cowhide rolled out, and on the cowhide, there were dense scales engraved on it.

When he pulled out to five feet, Chai Rong looked carefully and showed a happy smile.

"This is the length of my step! It's my!"

His Majesty the Emperor was in a happy mood and actually took a ruler to measure the dragon book desk, the dragon throne, and the pillar next to him. Judging from his appearance, he looked like a child who had obtained novel toys, all dancing.

Ye Hua understood Chai Rong's mood very well. If one day he printed his avatar on the coins, he could hold the money and smile all day!

What a man wants is not just leaving his own mark on the world!

Chai Rong took the tape ruler and walked to the gate of the hall, and suddenly became interested.

"Ye Qing, come here and help me measure Daqing Palace! See how wide and long it is under the new system!"

The king and his minister really started to do something. After measurement, Daqing Palace was twenty-one, three feet, three feet, and twelve feet wide... After obtaining new data, Chai Rong immediately ordered the eunuch.

"Go, record again, and change the original number to me!"

The little eunuch was about to leave, but Chai Rong called him again, "Look for a few more people, take a ruler, and re-measure the bricks and tiles in the palace for me to record them!"

"I obey the order!"

The little eunuch hurriedly, and Chai Rongxin looked at the palace happily, his eyes different.

The Kaifeng Palace was originally the residence of Zhu Wen’s governor. Although the dynasties were changed, the pattern had basically not changed. Moreover, the time of each dynasty was too short, so there was no time to change the weights and measures.

Therefore, the size of this palace is based on the standards left by Li Shimin back then.

Chai Rong would not have scattered the palace and built a new one, but re-measurement and recording it on the record would be equivalent to a re-emerging and completely turning into the palace of the Great Zhou!

Chai Rong was very satisfied with Ye Hua’s suggestions!
Chapter completed!
