Nowadays, there are three main people responsible for iron smelting and steelmaking, who master three parts of the steelmaking steps, which is to prevent the leakage of the steel-fighting method.

The person who spoke was an old blacksmith invited by Wang Dingchang for a lot of money. He was also experienced and experienced, and was named Qi Tieshan.

After hearing what Qi Tieshan said, Wang Kang asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Qi Tieshan said with difficulty: "A batch of steel is scrapped..."

"This is normal," Wang Kang didn't blame them, after all, it was artificial refining, not a machine, and the refining process was not that so sophisticated.

"That...is quite a large number, and it's been scrapped."

"How many furnaces?" Wang Kang frowned slightly when he heard this.

"That's right." Qi Tieshan explained busyly: "We refined the steelmaking method according to the method you told us, but during the secondary smelting, iron powder, limestone and other proportions need to be added."

"When proportioning, this amount is always inaccurate, so it leads to..."

After hearing this, Wang Kang understood that the main steps of the steel frying method are secondary smelting, adding iron powder, constantly stirring, and using oxygen in the air to remove part of the carbon in the pig iron to reduce the carbon content in the pig iron.

The most important thing is to add iron powder. If you add too much, it will have a counterproductive effect. The carbon content in pig iron not only does not decrease, but puts the cart before the horse.

"But this shouldn't be true. You have refined so many things. It's understandable that this kind of problem occurs occasionally, but it can't be so many times."

Wang Kang frowned as he thought.

"We formulate them based on experience, with a rough amount, but we cannot achieve accuracy."

Another person interrupted, "In fact, there is no suitable weighing tool..."

Qi Tieshan echoed: "Yes, we converted the ratio, but the scale is not accurate. Sometimes the amount is needed, and sometimes the amount is small... This is..."

Wang Kang understood a little that the weight of this era is not unified, and the smallest unit is only two.

And sometimes, it is used to use stone (sound,), which is useful to use bucket, and it is useful to use to upgrade...

That's fine, in actual weighing, the error is still very large, and the values ​​taken from different places are also different.

Especially in more precise weighing, it is even more difficult to determine, and the division they use is different.

Some use quadruple, some use hexadecimal...

In fact, Wang Kang had long noticed this problem. Not only did he have this problem in the pound, but he also did not have an accurate value for the length of the meters.

This leads to many problems due to measurement during construction.

Nie Zhongxing had also reacted before.

Wang Kang thought, and had an idea in his mind.

"It's just this question, is there anything else?" Wang Kang asked.

"Basically this is the problem, nothing else." Qi Tieshan said.

"If it's just this problem, it's easy to solve!" Wang Kang said directly.

"Young Master Kang, what solution have you come up with?"

The other people also had doubts, but they knew how powerful this young master was and did not dare to underestimate him at all.

Wang Kang's eyes slid past several people and said in a deep voice: "Unify the weights and measures!"

"Unified weights and measures?"

"right!"

Wang Kang nodded and then explained: "You have this problem because of the inaccurate weighing, no specific values, and no unified units."

"Then we will unify the unit, just take advantage of this opportunity to unify the length, weight, temperature, etc., so that there will be no such problems again!"

"But?"

Qi Tieshan said, "Although the units of measurement are complicated, they have been circulated all the time. If you change it, this is..."

"Your thoughts are still too closed!"

Wang Kang felt that this matter was urgent. Now that various constructions have begun, there are many new things to be produced.

Like the fired bricks that Wang Kang had seen, the same batch is the same, and there will be differences when the next batch is released. There are also steel and the specifications of the same mold are the same. If you change the next mold, it will be different.

In essence, this is not an accurate length measurement.

There are standard standards for measuring the length, volume, and weight of objects. In actual production, the specifications will be unified and the impact on the fief is of great significance.

Thinking of Wang Kang, he said directly: "This matter is settled. I cannot change the surrounding area, but in Xinfeng County, my fiefdom must be unified."

"You will know the benefits of this in the future."

"Oh well!"

Several people looked at each other and nodded. They all knew that no one could change what the young master decided...

Wang Kang was very efficient at doing what he said. The next day he went to the construction site and summoned all the person in charge to announce the decision.

Of course, there were doubts, but there was no objection.

The first thing Wang Kang was preparing to determine was the weight, that is, the weight. Of course, he would not use units such as grams and kilograms used in his previous life.

For ancient people, this kind of unit was too difficult to understand and was not easy to understand.

Therefore, he can only follow the original system of valuation.

But how to determine this value? Wang Kang came up with a solution...using eggs to determine it.

In his memory, ten eggs are usually a pound.

He remembered it very clearly that in his previous life, there was a specialist selling local eggs. Sometimes when he was too busy with business, he would just take ten eggs to make a pound.

The native eggs are relatively small, ten are per pound, while the breeding sites produce eight.

Wang Kang first ordered people to find a basket of eggs, and he selected the most symmetrical ten for measurement, each of which was one or two taels, and ten were one pounds.

Then he ordered people to use the principle of leverage to make a balanced scale, and use an egg as a standard of one or two to obtain money, which unit is the unit.

With measurement, it became simple. Wang Kang did not use hexadecimal system, but directly used decimal system.

Ten coins are one liang, ten liang is one jin, ten jin is one jin, ten jin is one jin, and ten jin is one stone...

It is simpler and more accurate than before, and it is clear at a glance.

In this way, the unified standard weight came out, and then he ordered the blacksmith to use this measure to create an accurate weight.

One liang, two liang, five liang, one jin, two jin, five jin...

After it was built, Qi Tieshan looked at the newly released weight and murmured: "One two are three, two two are four, one five are six, two five are seven, one two five are eight, two two five are nine, five five are ten..."

"Master Kang, this?"

After hearing Qi Tieshan's words, people suddenly woke up. After all, there were one to ten.

Moreover, it is very convenient to calculate and can easily get the results.

"You will naturally find the benefits of unification in the future. Wang Kang smiled and said, "This weighing method is the standard for your future production and construction."

"With this, when there are ingredients in the future, use this calculation, and there will definitely be no problems."

"I understand," everyone was excited, especially those from the Ironmaking Department such as Qi Tieshan understood the significance of this...
