Accompanied by Chen Wannian and Sang Jun, Zhang Yue came to the official residence of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau in the center of the Workshop Garden.

Zhang Yue looked up at the building in front of him. No matter how he looked, he felt that it seemed to be a reduced replica of the Chang'an Grand Council Residence.

Even at the door, like the Chang'an Grand Minister's Residence, five pine and cypress were planted.

However, the pine and cypress of Xinfeng Industry and Commerce are just seedlings...

"Shi Zhong...please..." Sang Jun came forward in person and opened the gate of the official residence for Zhang Yue.

The officials of the entire Industrial and Commercial Bureau have already arranged teams on both sides of the door.

When everyone saw Zhang Yue, they quickly saluted: "Secretary and I will ask the Shizhong Public Security Bureau!"

Zhang Yue looked at them and his eyes swept through them.

Most of the officials of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau were selected by him personally during the public examination.

Therefore, he can even call out everyone's name, and even recite their hometown and family background.

"I am safe in everything..." Zhang Yue smiled and bowed his hand back: "I wish you peace!"

So, surrounded by people, we arrived at the main hall of the Administration for Industry and Commerce.

"Please..." Sang Jun lowered his head, led Zhang Yue to the top of the head, and bowed: "Shi Jung, please sit down..."

Zhang Yue did not refuse and sat down directly.

Sang Jun then arranged Chen Wannian to sit down on Zhang Yue's lower head, and then sat opposite Chen Wannian, waved his hand slightly, and the officials of all the officials in the entire official hall immediately sat down in an orderly manner.

However, Zhang Yue took his eyes and looked at the main hall of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

The surrounding walls were full of abacus.

I counted roughly and there were at least fifteen!

It seems that Sang Hongyang has supported Sang Jun many abacus experts!

So much so that the Xinfeng Industrial and Commercial Bureau has become the first official in the world to fully use abacus office.

It is said that officials from the Administration for Industry and Commerce, as long as they have staffing, can now use abacus to work.

This new computing tools and calculation methods have also made Xinfeng Industrial and Commercial Bureau an extremely efficient institution.

In the past, many things that took three or five days to achieve results, but now they only take half a day to see the results!

This allows the Administration for Industry and Commerce to fully monitor the activities of the entire workshop park.

Sang Jun said proudly in the day of justice: Since then, all the instructions of the merchants are in my eyes!

This is indeed a terrible thing, especially for business people.

Once the government has made it clear about their production and operation activities and financial transactions, it is probably not that simple to evade taxes.

Why is Sang Hongyang so hated?

He is very good at collecting taxes, which accounts for a large part of the reason.

However, for the time being, Xinfeng Workshop Garden is still a paradise for merchants.

They don’t need to worry yet. They just made money and before they could heat up, they were brought to the door by officials from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and wanted to take away some of them.

"Before I went to Chang'an, I had issued official documents to the officials of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau..." Zhang Yue looked at everyone and asked slowly: "I ask the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to make a complete set of standard weights and measures as soon as possible to facilitate the public... I wonder how this job is doing now?"

The same book and the same carriage and track are the same, and it is a sign that Qin has the world.

However, in the Han Dynasty, the once unified weights and measures became chaotic again.

This may mainly be the blame for the Huang-Lao School.

Because, the politicians of the Huang-Lao School who ruled at that time adhered to the attitude of "as long as the people do not break the law, they will go with him even if they want to blow up the earth."

This caused the extreme prosperity and prosperity of the Chinese culture and culture between the Chinese culture and scenery.

At the same time, it also caused disorder in the entire weight and measure standards.

You know, back then, those profiteers did everything in order to make money!

When private money is flooded, those who mix lead and iron into coins are conscientious businessmen.

The unscrupulous guy is mixing copper into lead and iron!

What's even more terrifying is that these guys are extremely careless in minting money.

The weight of various coins varies. Many coins are under the banner of Bazhu coins, but the actual weight is only five or six jams.

But politicians of the Huang-Lao School turned a blind eye to this.

In their opinion, the people are not illegal!

Because the state has no regulations saying that private money minting is prohibited!

So, they decided to let the 'market' solve this problem.

The result is that the market really helped them solve this problem. Please tell me that my eight zhu coins are six zhu coins, right? Mud legs! Open your eyes and take a closer look. How many zhu coins are I tired of?

Yes, these smart guys made money by themselves and then set standards that suited their own interests!

Anyway, the farmers don’t even recognize the words, so they can easily pass it.

But this is just one of the disorders in the early Han Dynasty.

In almost all other standards, everything is messed up.

For example, in Guanzhong, the land was subject to a large acre system in the Qin Dynasty, with a large acre of land reaching 240 steps and a wide step. In most areas of Guandong, a large acre of land reaching 120 steps and a wide step. The land tax standards for both of them were the same...

For example, in Chang'an, a stone of grain weighs four jin and one hundred and twenty jin.

But some smart people in the folk invented Xiao Dou, and some Xiao Dou are only one-third of the official Dou.

They borrowed grain for farmers and used small dou to borrow, and exchanged for big dou when collecting debts...

As a result, the whole world was almost in chaos.

In order to avoid being cheated by people, many farmers in remote areas have not even accepted currency transactions so far.

They are only willing to barter or trade with cloth.

The disordered weights and measures have also had an adverse impact on the development of handicraft industry.

Fortunately, before Zhang Yue, the famous minister Erkuan had sorted out the chaos of weights and measures in the world, stipulated the corresponding specifications and explained in detail their respective standards.

only……

Although the country has made regulations, few people below are willing to do it.

Because the weights and measures are thankless.

If you have done it with all your thoughts, it may not be of any effect.

It will only arouse the disgust of powerful landlords and wealthy businessmen under the rule!

Besides... to be honest, there are very few people in the whole world who have this technical level and who can cast such accurate measuring instruments of slight and slightest.

After all, now is not the era of future industry.

Humans can measure even nanometers and quarks and accurately calculate their size.

And now... not to mention the other person, there are probably not many people in the world who can process a copper tiring weight of a standard "baht"!

And those who can accurately mark "inch, minute, thigh, and hair" on a one-foot-long copper ruler are probably less than ten fingers.

Even if the conditions are relaxed from one zhu to five zhu, the minimum unit is turned into a fraction from a millimeter.

There are probably not many technical craftsmen in the world who can do such things.

So, officials from all over the country simply laid sheep.

But Zhang Yue knew how much effect a set of accurate measurements can play?

There is no order without rules.

Without accurate measurements, it is impossible to further improve the Chinese craftsman's technical level and manufacturing level.

Therefore, after the establishment of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the first important task Zhang Yue gave to this institution was to create a set of weights and measures that comply with national standards.

Sang Jun heard Zhang Yue's question, quickly stood up and bowed: "Report to the Shizhong, the officials and colleagues, worked day and night, and they worked hard to help them, and they also rely on the Shizhong to give them documents and drawings. Now, fortunately, they have not been disgraced and have created a set of weights and measures. I would like to ask Shizhong to take a look!"

As he said that, he clapped his hands, and then, a dozen officials carried a complete set of measuring instruments made of metals such as copper and iron and other metals and walked in.

Zhang Yue stood up and looked at these vessels of different sizes.

Come to them and observe and study them carefully.

Unlike the general impressions of later generations, the Qin and Han dynasties reached the pinnacle in the subdivision of weights and measures, and had almost reached the upper limit that this era could achieve.

Just like now, these four sets of different metrics appearing in Zhang Yue's sight.

In the Han Dynasty, weights and measures were divided into four parts, called "law, degree, quantity, and scale", which correspond to the law instrument, container, measure instrument and scale instrument.

But in fact, these four meters come from a source.

They all evolved from the origin of the Xia people, a musical instrument made by Huangdi, the legendary Huangdi!

As a result, the dragon became the smallest container in China since ancient times.
