Chapter 138 The Great Weights and Measures
……

As the Government Affairs Department released the announcement, not many people were attracted.

After all, it only includes food and accommodation, but because it is in the north of the city, it is within the city limits and the distance is relatively close, so it 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 Fenggao City, there are more than [-] workers in the entire Fenggao City, but even so, it is difficult to gather dozens of people with working experience as carpenters and blacksmiths.

In the end, Liu Tong had no choice but to add another one to the announcement and give out ten additional 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 felt quite satisfied.

They never imagined that wheels made of wood like this would be so simple for them, and that they could assemble so many in just one morning.

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

"Old Zhang, come here, what's going on?" Lu Min said to Zhang Li who was standing not far away.

Zhang Li heard Lu Min's cry and ran over quickly, and then said, "What's wrong? What's the problem?"

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

Lu Min placed a flat small wooden board on two wheels. The wooden board actually tilted?
Seeing this scene, Zhang Li was a little stunned and said in disbelief, "That shouldn't be the case. We all made it with our own rulers and according to the length on the drawing."

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

"Where are your rulers? Collect them together and give them to me, and engrave your names on the back of the rulers." Lu Min turned to Zhang Li and gave the order.

Zhang Li heard this and quickly turned around to inform others and collect the rulers in everyone's hands.

As for the engraving of the name on the ruler, it was quite simple. Zhang Li could carve out the name in just a few breaths with a knife.

After comparing more than a dozen wheels, Lu Min felt that something was wrong. Looking at the wheels, the proportions were obviously very good, but they turned out to be unusable. The sizes were completely inconsistent, so they couldn't just make do with each other.

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

Lu Min reached out directly from Zhang Li's arms, casually took two rulers, and placed 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 scales on each ruler were different, with subtle differences.

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

"Stop what you are doing first. It seems that we have something that needs to be unified first." Lu Min took the ruler in his hand, showed the scales on it, and said to Zhang Li, "The scales on the ruler are not even The same, no wonder the wheels made are different in size. Fortunately, I was on site to supervise. If I keep doing this, wouldn't it be a waste of time for several days?" Zhang Li had some cold sweat on his face at this moment, because he The reason why I barely know some words is why I am now the second-in-command of this place. I know a little bit about some things.

Naturally, we know that if the wheels are not consistent in size, what will happen if they are placed on a carriage?
I also know that this work place seems to be a place owned by the Taishan County government, and the working attitude is naturally different from other places.

Under such circumstances, how dare you just do something perfunctory, not to mention that a whole family has to rely on themselves to work in order to have extra food to survive.

"I'll go and notify you right away. Please don't worry, Mr. Zhang." Zhang Li replied immediately, then turned around and went to inform others.

Lu Min couldn't help but look at the entire courtyard. The originally empty courtyard had become empty after several days of construction.

There are many sheds in the yard. Under the sheds are placed various kinds of wood and lumber, which are the main raw materials for construction. They fill most of the yard.

Seeing this scene, Liu Tong, who controlled Lu Min, was no longer in the mood to speed up the construction of the carriage. Instead, he chose to search through the memo on how to establish a unified length standard.

Sure enough, sometimes, the most basic things are the most life-threatening.

Liu Tong really found it hard to understand. This was Fenggao City in Taishan. Within the scope of a city, there could be a difference in the length of the ruler. Is it so outrageous?
Qin Shihuang has unified weights and measures for so many years. Hasn't this problem been solved yet?
Only by witnessing this with his own eyes can Liu Tong fully understand why there are big fights and small fights. He can also understand why Qin Shihuang, who unified weights and measures, unified weights and measures as one of Qin Shihuang'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 pace will be ruined. In such a small range, the gap between the rulers made is actually so big." Liu Tong doesn't even think about it now. Can you believe that in the whole world, how big is the difference in the scale of rulers?
Just do it, without any hesitation, Liu Tong looked at the length unit in the memo.

Directly operating and controlling Lu Min began production in the courtyard of the Civil Science and Technology Research Center.

After confirming that there is no one around, he directly transforms another inner energy 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 identical scale.

Then follow the same rhythm to create a ten-meter-long and commonly used standard thirty-centimeter ruler.

Then Lu Min ordered others working in the yard to copy the length of the ruler.

After that, everyone who worked at the Civil Science and Technology Research Center measured length according to the current standard ruler. 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 was simple, direct and more efficient.

This method is very simple, just add money, directly doubling the wages. Everyone in the yard immediately had no objections. Without the slightest hesitation, they gave up the ruler in their hands and replaced it with a new one made by Lu Min. ruler.
