Chapter 116 Weights and Measures

Yes, Sun Quan gave up treatment.

The Ministry of Industry, which he worked hard to establish, was completely incomparable to the Ministry of Industry in Xuzhou.

Well, the steam engine was built. The principle is very simple, he understands it.

However, that function is simply unbearable to look at it.

Damn it, he might as well use two donkeys more with such a steam breaker.

Even the steam engine looks like this, let alone the excavator.

Sun Quan could imagine that even if he was given two years, he would never have thought of building an excavator like Lu Bu.

However, Sun Quan couldn't help but be shocked by Lu Bu's excavator.

That shovel will be a lot of soil!

The canal project that was originally unimaginable was dug out day by day.

If he had such an excavator, not to mention anything else, then the road construction will not be N times higher.

If you want to be rich, build roads first.

Sun Quan believed in this famous saying that Lu Bu said.

It is credible that it is useful, but there is no better machine. Can he use a shovel to build roads?

The people should not give him a shovel!

Therefore, Sun Quan had to change his thinking.

Since Lu Bu is so easy to talk to, can you buy machinery?

Both sides are doing business in such a harmonious and friendly manner, so it should be possible.

Look, the foot-stitched threshing machine is sold by Lu Bu.

With this thing, the efficiency of threshing has been improved several times.

And the curved plow, which completely greatly improves the efficiency of arable land.

There are rice grinders, noodles grinders, flour mills, etc., but they are all legendary high-efficiency treasures!

For example, if a person really can’t finish the corn, he just feeds it to pigs.

But it also has to be made into powder, so that's easy to feed!

However, no one has such a machine except Lu Bu.

All the pigs are fed to you.

Do you know about indigestion?

Therefore, in order to obtain the machinery produced by Lu Bu, Sun Quan had to send an envoy to Xuzhou for negotiations.

The messenger is Zhang Zhao, an old face, so he is familiar with it and can easily talk about it.

After Pang Tong understood Zhang Zhao's intention, he had to report the matter to Lu Bu.

After listening, Lu Bu smiled.

Selling machinery is one of his plans. So, this is not a problem at all.

Now that the internal combustion engine has been successfully developed, he is not afraid of leaking the steam engine.

Even if you want to copy the village, with the current level of various rulers, you don’t know how many years it will take to copy the village.

And by then, he no longer knew how powerful he was.

Furthermore, whether it is a steam engine or an internal combustion engine, it needs to supply all the fuel. As long as you master this lifeline, you are still afraid that Jiangdong will be disobedient.

Therefore, Lu Bu explained some matters to Pang Tong and gave them all rights to Pang Tong for discussion.

Soon, Pang Tong and Zhang Zhao had a direct negotiation.

In such a big event, Pang Tong actually made full decisions, so how could Zhang Zhao not be moved?

Look, look at the ministers under Lu Bu can directly make diplomatic decisions!

Who can compare this point in the world?

Zhang Zhao naturally told the crowd that he wanted to buy various machinery from Xuzhou.

With some of the matters explained by Lu Bu, Pang Tong already had a plan in his mind. Therefore, Pang Tong pretended to nodded constantly to show his approval.

"Yes!" Pang Tong replied: "The two families have a friendly relationship, so there is no problem in purchasing machinery. How much does Jiangdong want and how much does it export to Xuzhou? However, Mr. Wu should also show some sincerity."

Knowing that Pang Tong wanted to negotiate terms, Zhang Zhao said: "This is natural, please let Prime Minister Pang explain clearly."

Pang Tong smiled and said, "It's very simple, it's a unified price. The export materials from Jiangdong are 20% more expensive than those in Xuzhou. This is not in line with the interests of the king. What the king wants is the unification of prices in the world."

"This!" Zhang Zhao couldn't help but stayed there. How to unify the prices? The shipping fee from Jiangdong to Xuzhou is unknown. The price is 20% higher, so it is already quite small.

But Zhang Zhao did not dare to take the initiative on the spot, so he had to say, "But there are still conditions?"

"Yes!" Pang Tong took a sip of the tea ceremony: "The rubber tree has grown!"

Zhang Zhao was stunned for a moment, then said, "Well, it has grown, but it will take at least a few years to want rubber liquid."

Pang Tong nodded: "Then let's determine the future export price of rubber liquid. I won't bargain for you. The price is 5,000 yuan per ton."

"One ton?" Zhang Zhao was stunned for a moment.

"Yeah!" Pang Tong said in a true voice: "This is the weight and measure of my Xuzhou. In short, the king will unify the weight and measure in the future and unify the whole world. All transactions in Jiangdong will be based on the weight and measure of my Xuzhou."

"So, what's this ton?"

"One ton!" Pang Tong narrowed his eyes and said, "Well, let me tell you this. The weight of a cubic meter of water is one ton. The weight of a cubic decimeter of water is one kilogram. A kilogram is one kilogram, and a cubic centimeter of water is one gram. How about it, you understand!"

Damn it!

Zhang Zhao looked confused, Damn, what the hell is a cubic meter? What is kilograms or kilograms?

I don't understand!

Seeing Zhang Zhao's muscles twitching violently, Pang Tong felt very happy. I was so confused at the beginning, but it would be great to see your expression.

This is just weight. I want to tell you about density, volume, etc., and you are not even more confused.

In short, after explaining for a long time, Zhang Zhao finally understood how many stones and pounds a ton were equal.

This matter is too big, so Zhang Zhao had to report the situation to Sun Quan.

After reading Zhang Zhao's letter, Sun Quan couldn't help but remain silent again.

Weights and measures, this is what the First Emperor did!

In other words, Lu Bu really had the determination and courage to achieve the emperor forever.

But there is no way. Since Lu Bu has been in trade with Lu Bu, Jiangdong has become richer and richer. Since Lu Bu wants to unify the weights and measures, he has no way to refuse.

Although the profit of 20% of the price is huge, if Lu Bu's machinery is greatly improved, it will not be a loss.

For example, salt and tea leaves, Sun Quan could not refine the coarse salt, so he had to sell it to Lu Bu. Anyway, even if it was sunburned, it didn't cost much, so it would be useless if it was not sold.

The same is true for tea. Even if you drink tea for the people in Jiangdong every day, you can’t finish it, and tea cannot be eaten as a meal.

But even the same is true for grain. With the hybrid rice given by Lu Bu, Jiangdong rice has now doubled its yield.

With other grains and food, Jiangdong can’t be eaten. Since it can’t be eaten, why not keep it? It’s better to sell it to Lu Bu for money.

As for the rubber liquid, the seeds were originally given by Lu Bu, and Jiangdong was only responsible for planting them and did not have much management.

In the future, it would be a huge fortune to get five thousand coins per ton.

Besides, people have already said the price is small, so there is nothing to negotiate.

So, Sun Quan didn't say anything else and agreed to the content of the peace agreement.

In this way, a large number of machinery was transported to Jiangdong, and Jiangdong machinery instantly increased N dimensions.

Even the hundreds of steam excavators that dug the canal were sold to Sun Quan.

The diesel excavator with greater kinetic energy in Xuzhou has been manufactured, so steam excavators will naturally be eliminated.

Well, low-quality goods can be dumped on Jiangdong.

As witnessing so many efficient machinery with one's own eyes, all the important officials in Jiangdong were shocked.

Oh my god, if it weren't for sale by Lu Bu, let alone ten years, it wouldn't be built in a hundred years!
