"Uniform weights and measures, what a big tone, but I still remind you..."
"You don't need to remind me," Wang Kang looked at Zhang Xianxian and said with a smile, "Do you think I can't think of the problems you can think of?"
"Changing the old system will only be carried out in production for the time being, and will not be fully implemented."
There is a new measurement method, but the old system is generally used. If he enforces it, it will be a mess.
For example, when buying rice, it will cause a lot of trouble because the weight and weight are measured differently.
Once again choked by Wang Kang, Zhang Xianxian was speechless.
What do you mean I can't think of what you can think of?Isn't this saying that he is smarter than himself in disguise?
Further, don't you say that you are stupid?
I have to say that women can associate.
Naturally, Wang Kang didn't know, Zhang Xianxian's thoughts, and soon he came to the front yard.
There are already a dozen people standing here.
Wang Kang asked Zhou Qing to find this in advance. Today he will make a new ruler and re-establish the length.
As before, it must not be expressed in meters or kilometers...
Zhang Xianxian watched with interest.
Wang Kang first made these people stand in a row, and he found a person of average height among them, and asked him to take a step.
The step taken by a normal adult is about one meter, because the precision measurement cannot be achieved, so this kind of soil method can only be used.
Just be as precise as possible.
Under his arrangement, a craftsman soon used the hemp rope prepared in advance to measure the length of one step and marked it, so that the length of one meter was obtained.
Then use a slender strip of wood to measure out the hemp rope and engrave the mark...
[Author's digression]: The second update!
Chapter 3 Kang's New Regulations, Breaking the Old and Establishing the New
In fact, there are rulers today, carpenters and blacksmiths are using them, but this kind of ruler is not standardized, some are 20 centimeters, some are more than [-] centimeters...
This kind of ruler does not meet his requirements at all.
So, he wants to make a new ruler!
From the above, Wang Kang obtained the length of one meter, and measured it out with the hemp rope, and then he divided the hemp rope into three sections, and the length of each section was one foot!
After one foot came out, craftsmen soon carved it out with wooden strips.
Afterwards, Wang Kang divided the wooden strips into equal parts to obtain half a foot, and then divided the half foot into five equal parts, so that another unit came out, inch!
Then, Wang Kang ordered people to make ten identical pieces based on the earliest one-foot-long piece of wood measured out, and then spliced them together, and measured out with a longer piece of wood.
This leads to the third unit, zhang!
Then he divided the inch into tenths to get a fourth unit point.
In this way, it is clear that one zhang is ten feet, one foot is ten inches, and one inch is ten!
After finishing everything, Wang Kang picked up the finished one-foot wooden ruler and said to the people around him, "This is the latest one-foot ruler!"
It was originally at the county government office, and besides the craftsmen Wang Kang had recruited, many other people were also watching.
It wasn't until this moment that they knew what Young Master Kang was going to do. It turned out that he was going to make a new ruler.
What does it mean?
The ruler already exists, and judging from what Young Master Kang made, it seems that there is a big gap from the original one.
More people are wondering. In fact, ordinary people don't have rulers at all, and even some craftsmen rarely use them.
Relatively speaking, they are more accustomed to using hemp rope, or measuring with their own hands, steps, and experience.
But this will inevitably lead to inconsistencies, or errors...
As if seeing everyone's doubts, Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "You may know that a few days ago I made a new scale (light and heavy), and today I have a new teacher to mobilize people to make such a ruler."
"Let me tell everyone, this is not just a simple ruler, but a new length standard for our new post-production and construction in Fengxian County!"
"Unification, standardization, and rigor are what I want to achieve."
Wang Kang's tone is unquestionable, "Our Xinfeng County is currently undergoing vigorous construction. Some people may be able to know that during the construction process, there have been many problems due to measurement errors!"
"The bricks in the same furnace are the same, but a new furnace makes a difference..."
"This kind of situation is absolutely not allowed to happen here. If we want to do it, we will make high-quality goods, become all norms, and become all authorities!"
These words made everyone's breathing a little short and their eyes burning.
Then Wang Kang continued: "The ruler is not just to measure the length, but to represent the rules and norms!"
"Now how many people outside are waiting to see my jokes, saying that I, Wang Kang, build roads and build cities..."
"It's wishful thinking!"
"It's the Arabian Nights!"
"But I don't believe in this evil! I want everyone to see it!"
Wang Kang held up the newly made ruler, "Xinfeng County is changing and building, and this ruler is like breaking the old and creating the new!"
"Would you all be willing to work together with me...?"
His eyes flicked over the surrounding crowd.
First there was silence, and then there was a shout of response!
"I am willing!"
"I would too!"
"Kang Chi, this ruler is called Kang Chi!"
"Kang's new regulations, break the old and establish the new..."
The county government gathered more and more people, and even many city residents ran in when they heard the shouts.
