Being an emperor is not about playing a game, and officials are not NPCs in the game. The affairs of the court and the army are not something that can be done immediately by reading the progress bar and reading the progress bar. So even if you are a half-hearted time traveler,

Zhao Huan also felt that his head was extremely heavy.

“Bianjing City is too small.”

"The imperial city is also in trouble."

"Weights and measures are not completely unified either."

"The strength of Dongjishi Factory is still too weak."

"The Imperial City Division is still out of control."

"Salt, iron, wine and all that shit sucks."

"The navy is too careless to run the wrong way on the sea. Why didn't these idiots go to Australia?"

"I don't know when I can go to Yindi to get the seeds back."

"The Royal Academy of the Song Dynasty has also fallen behind. Now it doesn't even have a stronghold. We don't know when it will produce results."

"It will probably take a few years before we see this steam engine."

"There are still not enough laborers."

"This broken road is broken."

"..."

Zhao Huan felt very upset when he thought of these messy things - he didn't feel comfortable leading troops to kill people at all!

Then Zhao Huan decided to add some more fun to the ministers in the court.

"One foot ten feet, one foot ten inches, one inch ten."

"One stone and two dendrobiums, one dendrobium and five buckets, one bucket and ten liters, and one liter and ten hexagrams."

"A pound is sixteen taels. There are big and small buckets."

After routinely accepting the impeachment from Yushitai at the Great Court Meeting, Zhao Huan half-squinted his eyes and said, "Don't you find it troublesome, sir?"

Zhao Huan has long been dissatisfied with the measurement units of the Song Dynasty. Using the capital of his mother is no longer enough to describe Zhao Huan's dissatisfaction. Even adding "magjier" may not be enough -

Later generations played well. Ten millimeters are one centimeter, ten centimeters are one decimeter, ten meters are one meter, five hundred grams is one tael, and ten taels are one catty. Moreover, the relationship between grams and milliliters can be almost directly converted.

, this thing is so easy to remember, simple and trouble-free.

Let’s take a look at the system used in the Song Dynasty now. Basically, it is still the hexadecimal system that has been used since the pre-Qin period. Although this thing conforms to some Yin-Yang Bagua system rules, it is really inconvenient to calculate!

Especially the current chaotic calculation method of the Song Dynasty can drive good people crazy - the Song Dynasty's annual income of hundreds of millions is just ten pounds of grain plus five guan banknotes, even if it's ten!

Unit? There is a shitty unit!

But after Zhao Huan finished speaking, the ministers in the court turned their attention to Shen Hao, the leader of the Yushitai - look, your impeachment is useless~!

Shen Hao simply lowered his head to count the patterns on his boots——

Since when did the Dragon Throne take the court system seriously? If it were done strictly in accordance with the court system, then officials should not speak at all in the court meeting! Don't be stupid, I, the imperial censor, do this every day

Impeachment is just a process, do you still take it seriously?

Seeing that all the ministers wanted to be clay Bodhisattvas in the court, Zhao Huan was not annoyed at all. He simply smiled and turned his attention to Zhuang Chengyi, the leader of the Ministry of Household Affairs: "Qing Zhuang, you have been in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs for more than two years.

Yes, what do you think?"

I really don’t want to see it! I’m blind!

Zhuang Chengyi, who was originally worried that the officials would arrange this matter to the Ministry of Revenue, complained crazily in his heart. Then he stood up and bowed and said, "I am going to report to the officials. I also find it very inconvenient."

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Chengyi also felt a bit like breaking the jar. He simply continued: "Not only is it inconvenient, but there is also a saying among the people that big fights and small fights are common. Most of them are big fights in and small fights out, which does not harm the people.

Qian. I think the Ministry of Industry should take the lead in redefining weights and measures."

Hearing that Zhuang Chengyi directly threw the blame on the Ministry of Works, Gao Zi'an couldn't sit still when the Ministry of Works was in charge. He glared at Zhuang Chengyi with an unkind look, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear: How can you be so cowardly?

Are you so stupid that you drag me into trouble?

Zhuang Chengyi glared back with the same unfavorable expression, and the meaning in his eyes was equally obvious: Your Ministry of Industry's budget... Haha...

Then Gao Zi'an snorted coldly, stood up from the court class, bowed to Zhao Huan, and said: "I will report to the officials: I believe that the reason why Qin destroyed the six countries was not because of the weakness of the six countries, but because of the strength of Qin."

.

The strength of Qin lies in the fact that the measurements are consistent, the books and texts are the same, the chariots are on the same track, and the people of the country are the same. The old system has been used for thousands of years, and it is time to innovate it to make it more accurate.

Is the Ministry of Industry incompetent? Are you willing to immediately re-invent the scales? Determine the measurement regulations. However, I am stupid. I hope the officials will tell me what the measurement regulations should be."

Zhao Huan hummed, but then turned his attention to Zhuang Chengyi: "What do you think, Qing Zhuang?"

I want you to put some eye drops on me! I want you to stop the flow! If I don’t give you some eye drops, you will be underestimating my broad-mindedness!

Then Zhuang Chengyi was a little dumbfounded - he went around in circles about this matter, and finally it came around to me again?

After thinking for a long time, and then thinking about the Song Dynasty numbers and Jingkang arithmetic he had just learned, Zhuang Chengyi simply changed his mind and bowed: "I am going to report to the official, I think we should use ten as the advance.

Those who advance ten are to follow the calculation of one foot and ten feet, and one foot and ten inches. One stone is ten husks, one hu is ten dou, one dou is ten liters, one liter is ten catties, one catty is ten taels, and one tael is ten coins.

.”

However, Zhao Huan laughed and said, "It's too troublesome."

"The Ministry of Works took the lead in this matter, and worked with the Ministry of Household Affairs to re-determine it. No matter what the measurement is, it will be based on ten. From now on, it will be ten coins and one tael, and ten taels and one catty. There will be no more combinations, sheng, or sheng.

For things like dou, dendrobium, etc., a thousand catties can be worth one stone."

"After the scale is determined by the Ministry of Works, accurate instruments will be made and placed in local government offices for the people to use for calibration. If there are still people who privately make weighing instruments for Dendrobium buckets, they will play the trick of big buckets going in and small buckets coming out to harm the people.

No matter who it is, their homes will be confiscated and they will be executed! Anyone who knows but does not take action will be investigated as soon as the incident occurs!"

After Zhuang Chengyi and Gao Zian bowed down to accept the order, Zhao Huan said with a smile: "Also, don't you think that Bianjing City is too small?"

When Zhao Huan asked this question, all the ministers in the court suddenly became alert - of course Bianjing is a small city! And the housing prices are extremely expensive!

But then again, if the city of Bianjing becomes bigger, won’t the housing prices fall? If the housing prices fall, then those of us who bought houses early will lose money?

What is the purpose of becoming an official Qianli!

Of course, it is to promote the teachings of the saints and benefit the people.

But you can’t use your own money to benefit the people, right?

Zhao Huan glanced at the ministers with different expressions, and then said with a smile: "I plan to demolish Bianjing City and build a new imperial city."

However, what Zhao Huan didn't expect was that the first person to jump out and object was not the low-level officials who needed to care about housing prices, but Zhuang Chengyi, the Minister of Household Affairs who didn't need to care about housing prices at all.

Moreover, as soon as this old man from the village came out, he immediately started crying about his poverty: "I am going to report to the government, the Ministry of Household Affairs has no money."

"The autumn taxes for the third year of Jingkang have been allocated according to the budgets of various ministries."

"And the spring taxes for the fourth year of Jingkang have not been collected yet."
