Chapter 305: Kang’s new rules, destroying the old and establishing the new

In fact, there are rulers today, used by carpenters and blacksmiths, but these rulers are not standardized, some are sixteen centimeters, and some are more than twenty centimeters...

This kind of ruler completely failed to meet his requirements.

Therefore, he wants to make a new ruler!

From the above, Wang Kang got the length of one meter and measured it with hemp rope. Then he divided the hemp rope into three equal sections, and the length of each section was one foot!

After the Yi Chi came out, craftsmen soon carved it out with wooden strips.

Then Wang Kang divided the wooden strips into equal parts to get half a foot, and then divided the half foot into five equal parts, so that another unit came out, inch!

Then, Wang Kang ordered people to make ten identical pieces of wood based on the first one-foot-long piece of wood, and then spliced ​​them together, and measured out a longer piece.

From this we get the third unit, zhang!

Then he divided the inch into tenths and came up with the fourth unit of cents.

This makes it clear that one foot is ten feet, one foot is ten inches, and one inch is ten points!

After everything was done, Wang Kang picked up the finished wooden ruler and said to the people around him: "This is the latest ruler!"

It was originally at the county government office. In addition to the craftsmen hired by Wang Kang, many other people were also watching.

It wasn't until this moment that they knew what Master Kang was going to do. It turned out that he was going to make a new ruler.

What does this mean?

There is already a ruler, and looking at what Master Kang has done, it seems that there is a big gap between it and the original one.

More people are confused. In fact, ordinary people do not have rulers at home, and even some craftsmen rarely use them.

Relatively speaking, they are more accustomed to using hemp rope, or measuring with their own hands, steps, and experience.

But this will inevitably lead to inconsistencies or errors...

As if seeing everyone's doubts, Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "You may know that I made a new scale (weight) a few days ago, and today I mobilized everyone to make such a ruler."

"I tell you, this is not just a simple ruler, but a new length standard for our post-economic production and construction in Xinfeng County!"

"Unity, standardization, and rigor are what I want to achieve."

Wang Kang's tone left no doubt, "Our Xinfeng County is currently undergoing vigorous construction. Some people may know that during the construction process, many problems occurred due to measurement errors!"

"The bricks in the same furnace are the same, but there are differences in a new furnace..."

"This kind of situation is absolutely not allowed to happen here. If we want to do it, we will make it high-quality and become the norm for all and the authority for all!"

These words made everyone breathe a little faster and their eyes burned.

Then Wang Kang continued: "The ruler not only measures length, but represents rules and norms!"

"How many people are waiting to see my joke now, saying that I, Wang Kang, am building roads and cities..."

"It's wishful thinking!"

"It's a fantasy!"

"But I don't believe in this evil! I want everyone to see it!"

Wang Kang raised the newly made ruler as he spoke, "Xinfeng County is changing and building new buildings, and this ruler is likened to breaking the old and establishing the new!"

"Everyone is willing to follow me...and work together?"

His eyes slid over the surrounding crowd.

First there was silence, and then there was a shouting response!

"I do!"

"I do too!"

"Kang Chi, this ruler is called Kang Chi!"

"Kang's new rules, destroy the old and establish the new..."

More and more people gathered at the county government office, and many city residents even ran in after hearing the shouting.

Everyone was extremely excited, and there was no doubt that Wang Kang's words struck everyone's heart.

Zhang Xianxian looked at this scene in surprise, looking at Wang Kang with a solemn expression. This guy seemed to be a born leader.

He seems to have a special temperament that can infect others with his words and deeds.

An ordinary ruler could be called something fancy by him. What surprised her even more was Wang Kang's way of thinking.

Unify weights and measures!

Norms, standards, rigor!

Kang's new rules, destroy the old and establish the new!

This... simply shocked her beyond measure, leaving her speechless for a moment.

"Let's go!"

When she came to her senses again, the people around her had dispersed, but everyone could see that these people had obviously more energy and spirit.

"Kang Chi, this ruler will be called Kang Chi from now on!"

"Yes, I will go back and build it right away. I will make a big one and place it on our construction site to let everyone know that this will be our standard after the war."

The craftsmen all talked and went about their business.

"Let's go, why are you so stunned?" Wang Kang asked Zhang Xianxian doubtfully, "Aren't you going to follow me?"

"oh oh,"

Zhang Xianxian finally came to his senses and said, "Yes, but where else are you going?"

"Go to the construction site, are you sure you want to follow me? Let me remind you, it is very dirty and dusty there..."

"Go, of course, you are not afraid, and I am not afraid either!" Zhang Xianxian said directly.

She is now more and more interested in Wang Kang. The more she gets in touch with him, the more complicated she feels.

She wants to truly understand before she can deal with...

Afterwards, Wang Kang took Zhang Xianxian and prepared to go. After leaving the county government office, Zhang Xianxian asked doubtfully: "Aren't we going to take a carriage?"

"Don't sit down,"

Wang Kang smiled and said: "Since we are going to inspect, of course we have to go through it step by step. What's the point of just looking at it?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xianxian was stunned for a moment.

She travels long distances by carriage and short distances in a sedan chair. She has never walked on the road...

Seeing Zhang Xianxian's hesitation, Wang Kang smiled and said, "How about you go back, or maybe I can arrange a sedan for you?"

"No need," Zhang Xianxian gritted her teeth and said.

Today, no matter what, she had to follow Wang Kang closely to see what he was doing.

"Then it's up to you..." Wang Kang spread his hands.

Then he took her on an inspection tour. The construction of Xinfeng County has already begun. The first step is to improve residential buildings and lay down infrastructure...

The original Xinfeng County town was very dilapidated, with dilapidated streets and some houses made of stone, some of broken bricks, and some of them simply made of soil.

As for Wang Kang, he plans to knock everything down and rebuild it, directly building a small second floor like the one in his previous life.

Neatly arranged, replacing the original dilapidated residence.

Of course, renovation cannot be accomplished overnight, because during the process of demolition to new construction, there must be a place to live.

So temporary residences were built outside the city.

Wang Kang re-divided the entire Xinfeng County into five districts: east, west, south, north, and middle.

The first area to be renovated is the East District.

Along the way, there are people working. Although they look messy, they are orderly...

When he went to Tai'an City, arrangements had been made for Nie Zhongxing, the demolition work had been completed, and the foundation digging had now begun...

"Master Kang..."

"Master Kang is here..."

Walking by, people greeted Wang Kang when they saw him.

"Old Lin, please pay attention to your safety when working!"

"Don't be anxious, the main thing is the quality. A good foundation will make the house stable..."

Wang Kang also responded with a smile.
