Chapter 690 Two Big News

After repeated comparisons, he felt that his index finger and middle finger could be a little over three centimeters together, and he had some calculations in his mind.The unit of measurement for length is based on the length of Zhou Cang's index finger and middle finger together, which is called an inch, three centimeters is one inch, ten inches is one foot, three feet is one meter, and a kilometer is one mile.

It is clear that all liquids use volume units, and solids use weight units.Taking the water contained in a three-inch square container as the benchmark unit of measurement, its volume is called liters, ten liters are one bucket, ten buckets are one dendrobium, and ten dendrobiums are one liter; the water weight is one catty, and twelve taels is one catty. Ten coins is one tael, and a hundred catties is one stone.Zhoucang people make rulers and utensils according to standard units as a benchmark.

The unit of time is the Qianxiang calendar compiled by Liu Hong. One day is divided into twelve hours, one hour is divided into four quarters, one quarter is thirty minutes, and one minute is 60 seconds.Zhou Cang couldn't help the problem of standard utensils. He made repeated experiments and made hourglasses for one hour and one quarter of an hour.

Zhou Cang's plan was submitted to the Privy Council and various departments for deliberation, and opinions were divided.The Department of Economic Affairs believes that clear standards are conducive to unifying the scale and avoiding disputes caused by inconsistent standards in various places, but it is very difficult to change them.The Logistics Department strongly agrees, this conversion is beneficial to the calculation of grain and military resources, especially the long-term confusion of food standards, sometimes using stones and sometimes using buckets, the error is huge, and the unit of length and time can achieve miraculous results when used in combat.The bank proposes to adopt a new unit, and the coins must be recast. For example, the original one-two coin can only be converted into six coins.

Xun Chen finally expressed his position on behalf of the Privy Council that there will inevitably be some problems and difficulties in the unified measurement, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages in comparison, and it is a long-term achievement, so it is imperative, just make good preparations.

Zhou Cang handed over all the preparatory work to the Executive Yuan, and it is scheduled to start in the first month of the 25th year of Jian'an. It should take nearly two years to prepare.As for the bank's concerns, Zhou Cang thinks that six qian is just six qian, but don't pretend that six qian is one tael.

The restructuring affected all aspects. The logistics department needed to re-approve the soldiers' rations, and the wear and tear of weapons and armor. Dianman was very depressed to find that his double iron halberd, which originally weighed 49 kilograms, had become 36 kilograms.The Department of Infrastructure needs to redefine the standard width of official roads and the consumption of various consumables.The Department of Economics, the Department of Finance and Taxation, and the Chamber of Commerce are the busiest, and almost all commodities have to be repriced.Two years seems to be ample time, but it is actually very tense.The mathematics students in the college became even more popular, so that Sun Gan had to hold crash courses while holding evening classes to start adult education.

There are too many things that need to be done, and you can't become fat if you eat at one bite. Not only will some new policies be implemented forcefully, not only will not achieve results, but it will make chickens fly.As a result, Zhou Cang had to set the three-year development plan mainly on three points: first, improve the organizational structure, establish a whole chapter system, preach the new policy, and promote the implementation of new measures; second, develop the economy, industry, agriculture and business go hand in hand; Team building and personnel training.

And at this time, the spies sent by Zhou Chong to Chendu found out two big news.

First, Wenwu of Yizhou presented the "Hanzhong Wang Encouragement Form" to the emperor, please make Liu Bei the king of Hanzhong, and worship the great Sima. At the end of the 22nd year, Liu Bei became the king of Hanzhong in Chengdu, and the registered heir was Liu Chan.Counting the time, Liu Bei should not have received the news that Zhou Cang had become king when he became king.What is interesting is that there are nearly 100 people playing in the Quanjin Table, and the rankings are: Pingxi General Duting Hou Ma Chao, Zuo General Shi and Town Army General Xu Jing, Ying Sima Pang Xi, Yi Cao engaged in Zhonglang Army Yi Zhonglang General Shooting General Zhuge Liang of Yuan and Military Division, General Xinting Hou Zhang Fei of Conquering Captives, General Lai Gong of Zhenyuan, General Fazheng of Yangwu, General Li Yan of Xingye and so on.

Second, in the first lunar month, imperial physician Ling Jiben, Shaofu Geng Ji, Si Zhi Wei Huang and others launched a rebellion.According to Zhou Chong's investigation of the rebellion, Jin Xuan, a descendant of the famous official Jin Rixun, was appointed by Cao Cao as the prefect of Wuling.Seeing that Han Zuo was about to move, Jin Yi became furious, and together with his servants Geng Ji, Si Zhi Wei Huang, imperial physician Ji Ben, Zi Ji Miao, Jim Mu, etc., conspired to gather thousands of people to kill Wang Bi, the chief governor of Yulin Army Horse. Seized his military power to help Emperor Xian, and secretly tied Liu Bei as foreign aid.During the rebellion, burn the gate, shoot Wang Bi on the shoulder, and Wang Bi escapes.In the end, Wang Bi and Yingchuan Diannong Zhonglang general Yan Kuang put down, Jin Yi was killed by the rebel army, and the five clans, including Geng and Wei, were all killed.

The Battle of Hanzhong and the Huainan Plague had a great impact on Cao Cao, and more than half of the food stored in various places was lost. Cao Cao's main energy was put on recuperation.The Xudu rebellion at the beginning of the year made Cao Cao even more suspicious, and he searched for reasons for non-his direct descendants and confidantes, or killed him.In addition, there is another piece of information that is not very accurate. It seems that because Cao Cao's temper has become more and more irritable, his physical condition is not very good, and many things are caused by Cao Pi.

It is not surprising that Liu Bei became king, the legendary five tiger generals did not appear, Guan Yu died, and Huang Zhong was under Zhou Cang.But Zhou Cang was very puzzled, didn't the imperial physician Ji Ping poison Cao Cao?Why did Gibbon rebel again?Why does it smell a little different inside?Is Cao Cao's deadline approaching?It shouldn't be.

Before the Privy Council discussed Liu Bei's proclaiming king and Xu Du's rebellion, Zhou Chong notified another seemingly insignificant matter.

Once, Cao Cao met Yang Biao, the scrawny father of Yang Xiu, on the road, and asked why. Yang Biao replied: I am ashamed of my foresight, and I still cherish the love of an old cow.

Jin Rixun, courtesy name Uncle Weng, was the prince of Xiutu, the Huns stationed in Wuwei, who was defeated and captured by Huo Qubing.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave him the surname Jin because he was offered sacrifices to the Tianjin people by King Xiutu.After Jin Rixun got close to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he never made any mistakes. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty trusted and doted on him.Jin Ridun's two sons were both favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. They were the playboys of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and were always by his side.Once, Nong'er surrounded Emperor Wu of Han's neck from behind, and Jin Rixun was in front, and when he saw it, he glared at him angrily.Later, Nong'er grew up and behaved carelessly. He was playing with the court ladies in His Royal Highness. Jin Ridun happened to see it and was worried that it would cause a big disaster, so he killed Nong'er.

Seemingly small things, it is a bit interesting to get together.The mastermind who launched the Xudu rebellion was Jin Yi, the descendant of Jin Riyi. The motive and timing of Jin Yi's sudden rebellion are really doubtful. Han Zuo will move?Ghosts believe, why did you go early?After Yang Xiu's death, and when Liu Bei proclaimed the King of Hanzhong, how dare such a few people launch a rebellion?It was Jin Yi who rushed to the front, but who should be behind the scenes?
