Chapter 118 My rules are rules

Although the craftsmen in the Military Arts Institute felt that Xiao Zicheng's move was arguing that he was a fool, he was so-called short-speaking and soft-working.

Yesterday, Liu Tong had already made clear to the craftsmen that Xiao Zicheng would announce his salary increase clearly.

As long as you pass the assessment, you can get a salary increase. In the past, craftsmen only dare to think about it when they are drunk.

Since the former military weapon office served as a promotion official, who is as good as Mr. Xiao, who really cares about these craftsmen?

Liu Tixia said yesterday that the memorial to declare the salary increase has been submitted.

With Master Xiao so respected by His Majesty, maybe there would be a chance for this matter.

Besides, the Lord said that if His Majesty does not approve him, he will raise their salary even if he pays out of his own pocket.

Such a Shangguan who is protecting his subordinates, not to mention the only one shoe cake, he is also a good Shangguan who is rarely seen even with a lantern.

Not to mention that Xiao Zicheng has redefined weights and measures now, even if they are asked to start from apprentices, they will recognize them.

However, this also made all the craftsmen in the open space open their eyes wide and looked curiously.

They all wanted to see what this craftsman, Xiao Jue-secretly treated the craftsman, wanted to do.

Looking at the curious gazes from the craftsmen below, Xiao Zicheng couldn't help but feel silent.

Perhaps it was the credit of silver that these people were so docile now, but he was confident that he could lead these craftsmen to create a legend belonging to the military artifacts.

"You are probably muttering in your heart, wondering what I have done with such a ruler?"

Xiao Zicheng leaned out his hand to the right. Seeing this, Wu Tian hurriedly handed over the prepared file.

"When I looked through the files, I found that the craftsmen in our military weapons were able to afford superb skills, but why did the weapons forged differ so much in size?

After thinking hard but failed, I fell into the warehouse and got the answer. The reason is that this is different."

Hearing this, the craftsmen looked at each other and talked a lot.

First of all, when they first entered the military weapon station and were called Qing'er by their masters, the skills taught by the masters were very vague in terms of measurement.

Secondly, the people in the military weapon station do not use rulers to measure the length of objects, and they are more accustomed to using their own methods.

For example, a rope or its own body structure.

Even if you look at the homes of ordinary people in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is no so-called ruler.

More like craftsmen, they use body structure to measure length.

For example, the distance between the two ends of the thumb and the middle or little finger is called Yizhao, and the distance between the two hands when the adult's arms are stretched left and right is called 1 degree.

For example, when measuring land, it is usually calculated based on the number of steps.

All the craftsmen in the military artifacts have already used this technique very well.

But unfortunately, although these methods are very practical, they are still too simple for Xiao Zicheng and cannot meet his requirements at all.

"Sir, you have taken the hemp rope you want."

Lin You handed several hemp ropes that the craftsmen usually measured in length to Xiao Zicheng.

"Hard."

Xiao Zicheng reached out to take the hemp rope, weighed it in his hand, and then whispered to the craftsmen:

"I believe everyone is familiar with this hemp rope. When you forge weapons on weekdays, you often use them to measure the length."

As he said that, he raised the ruler in his hand:

"You must be very curious in your heart. Why do I say that I should unify the weights and measures in the military equipment? Now I tell you, just rely on this ruler!"

The craftsmen were all confused in their eyes, while Xiao Zicheng looked at the wooden ruler in his hand and felt a lot of emotion.

In order to get this ruler, he and the prince were struggling in the mountain city for a long time, and after repeated consideration, he finally decided.

"Sir, I think this ruler is different from the ruler of the Ministry of Works... I'm afraid..."

A craftsman couldn't help but feel worried and spoke carefully.

Xiao Zicheng waved his hand to interrupt the craftsman and said in an unquestionable tone:

"Didn't my master say that the standards of the military weapons institute in the future are the standards of the Six Divisions and Twenty-Four Divisions!

If they do not comply with the measurement standards of our military equipment institute, then our military equipment institute has the right to refuse to make any instruments!"

Isn't this...

Some craftsmen with exquisite orifices had already begun to breathe. They stared at Xiao Zicheng on the stage, and were extremely excited.

Perhaps because he realized the thoughts of the craftsmen, Xiao Zicheng said loudly:

"Yes, my master wants to build our military weapon station into the standard for everything in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Starting today, our military weapons institute will abandon the old weights and measures and introduce more accurate new weights and measures regulations.

In the future, any thing we create in our military weapons will be based on weights and measures as the only criterion!”

Hearing this, Xiao Zicheng looked around everyone and shouted:

"In other words, starting today, our military weapons institute will be specifications, standards, and authority!!!"

Sir!! Sir!!

The craftsmen in the Military Arts Institute were boiling, and their bodies seemed to be uncontrolled.

On that day, Emperor Jingping's imperial case had a report on various actions of Feng Xiao Zicheng in military weapons.

As the report was presented together, there was also the new ruler that Xiao Zicheng had revealed for the first time.

Emperor Jingping played with the black and exquisitely crafted ruler, and looked at the neatly carved scales on the ruler with great interest.

"Is this the new thing that the little monkey made?"

Lu Bing, who was kneeling below, listened to Emperor Jingping's inquiry and quickly replied:

"When you go back to your Majesty, the craftsmen in the Military Weapons call this ruler the mountain city ruler."

"Weights and Measures..." Emperor Jingping gently placed the ruler on the imperial desk and muttered to himself, "This is a bit interesting..."

According to his original idea, he passed the forging technology of the mountain city into the military facility through Xiao Zicheng.

But what Emperor Jingping did not expect was that the first thing Xiao Zicheng did after entering the military weapon station was to make progress and weigh weights.

From this point of view, this little sacred figure is quite a big deal...

"What's the reaction from the Ministry of Works? I remember that weights and measures have always been formulated by the Ministry of Works."

Upon hearing this, Lu Bing took out a thicker note from his arms and handed it to Li Baby:

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Works is quite dissatisfied with this. Many officials of the Ministry of Works want to find Xiao Zicheng's troubles, but they are suppressed by Lord Shangshu."

"Tong Pei..." Emperor Jingping was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said relievedly:

"It's not surprising, after all, that little monkey was appointed by me personally, and I can be regarded as the backstage of the Military Equipment Institute.

That old guy Tong Pei, don’t look at his old eyes, he is very terrified."

Hearing this, Lu Bing, commander of the Jinyiwei, whispered:
Chapter completed!
