Qin State, Xianyang, Prime Minister's Mansion.

"How do you think about these reforms in writing?" King Qin asked Shangwen. King Qin hasn't come to Shangwen for a while.

"Well. The reform of characters should indeed be on the agenda. As far as the official script is concerned, the official script is still not the easiest script." Shangwen said to King Qin.

"Talk about it." King Qin asked Shangwen. King Qin has already issued the reform text, and Qin will use the official script. This kind of script is easier to print and use, which is the biggest advancement of Qin's script.

"Writing was good for writing before. We used brushes. Later, we also had pencils and then pens. But now, what we need is a faster writing speed. Compared with the official script, although it is more formal than the Xiaozhuan, it is less formal than the drawing script. There are many gestures, but the writing speed still cannot be improved. Especially in mechanical printing, there are still big problems." Shangwen said.

"This." King Qin also knew that the reform of the text could not be accomplished overnight, and it was impossible to achieve the goal all at once.

"My lord, reform can't be anxious yet." Shang Wen said.

"Qin State has other reforms, such as this clock. The unit of calculation of time." Shang Wen said.

"Isn't this time using minutes and seconds, is there still hours? What kind of unification does this use?" Qin Wang asked curiously.

"It's not about the hour, but every aspect has its own time. We all know it. The time zone difference is more than fifteen longitudes, which is a time zone. Qin is the Xianyang time zone, while South Korea is the Xinzheng time zone, and Zhao has its own time zone. Time zone, but South Korea and Xinzheng time zone are almost the same, mainly due to the difference in local time, this is very troublesome to unify." Shang Wen said.

"For example, the train departure time also has this problem. Qin is a time, and the time in South Korea is one hour faster than the time in Qin. If it is sent to the bridge of Wei State or Qingcheng, Jiaozhou, South Korea, the time may be It will increase by half an hour or more. In this way, the train schedule is messy." Shang Wen shook his head and said.

"This. Wouldn't it be enough if the world uses the same time zone?" King Qin said.

"My lord, of course you can use one. But those parties are not satisfied and will agree. This is a geographical issue, and we can't change all of this." Shang Wen said.

"There is also this calendar. The calendars of various countries are very different. For example, on the new year, October is the new year in Qin, December is in Zhao, and January is in South Korea. New year times are different in different countries. Unified. It is also very troublesome. Moreover, the time unit of calculation is also very troublesome to convert. Therefore, there are many places that Qin needs to unify." Shang Wen said.

"If the State of Qin is unified. Then there will be no such problem." King Qin said.

"My lord, now is not the best time for reunification. Even Qin is reunified. There are also many problems. For example, Qin’s economy cannot effectively unite the economies of various countries. The unification that Qin needs is an economy. Otherwise, even military reunification will cause a lot of trouble. Moreover, reunification is a natural process." Shang Wen said.

"Okay. These widows don't think about it. Maybe you should make a Gregorian calendar or something, in that case, it will be easy to solve in the future. For example, the weights and measures, that is science, if you don't observe it, it is not a human will "Qin Wang said.

After King Qin reminded Shang Wen that he really should do this, the benefits of doing so are very many. This is because all parties agree to use such a new unit to calculate the time in their country. However, it is difficult to calculate the specific time zone time. After all, there are many things that need to be negotiated. It was not based on human will for the transfer, but King Qin did provide a good solution. Use the Gregorian calendar to calculate time.

With the development of economy, many new units exist, but the existence of these units also brings trouble to people's economic life. For example, time and time zone make people aware of the difference in time, but they have brought some new troubles to people. That is, each country hopes to use the time of the meridian where its country is located as the standard time, and they have issued their own standards. This caused a lot of trouble to the passage of trains. Fortunately, there is a conversion table for the train station time, and it is based on the local time, otherwise, it can really be a big problem.

This is just a small detail, but it is related to people's lives. The unification process is not so easy.

State of Zhao, Handan. Within the Coal Association, representatives from Wenyang Bank’s headquarters came here to negotiate on behalf of Wenyang Power. It's mainly about power cooperation.

"We hold about 30% of Shengtang Power’s shares. The remaining chips are still on the market, but only about 25%. I know that you have most of the shares. However, holding , Still far away." The middle-aged manager dispatched by Wenyang Bank said with a smile. There are a lot of people in the Zhao Guo Coal Association, but most of them don't look good because they don't have any financial knowledge. Some people sold, and some bought, which caused their funds to be very chaotic. Such chaos gave speculators like Li Wen a great opportunity. With the help of Qin Guo Wenyang, they spread out. Part of the bargaining chips were given to members of the Zhao Guo Coal Association. The prices of the stocks they purchased were basically at high levels, which caused heavy losses of their funds. But at any rate, they hold most of the shares, but there is still some distance from the real holding. This distance seems to be only one step away, but the other party thinks that it should not continue. They want to find each other to cooperate. Otherwise, they will lose a lot.

"What do you mean?" A member looked at each other with an angry look. After all, they made them suffer heavy losses, how could they be willing to such a loss.

"It's very simple, cooperation. Only cooperation between us can achieve this goal." The middle-aged man said.

"What you need is technology, and we can help you. You have the funds and capabilities, but without the technology, we have the technology, and we can also provide financial assistance. Moreover, we both have such capabilities. Together, there is A great benefit, if we don’t cooperate, the losses for both of us will become very big.” The middle-aged man said.

"It's just that, why do you account for all the benefits. But we get very little. This seems to be unfair to us." A member of the Coal Association said dissatisfiedly.

"Cooperation, everyone has common interests, so that it can develop. The power industry is a very promising industry. We also have such a demand. At the same time, we can exchange it with another technology. I know you need aluminum. Aluminum alloy. The material is the material you need most. We can provide you with this kind of technology, which is very cost-effective." said the middle-aged man. Members of the Coal Association, look at me and I will look at you. They think what the people of Qin said may not be true. Aluminum is light and has a wide range of applications. Especially in aviation, there is a great demand for aluminum. There are folks too, but. The production of aluminum is extremely difficult. If they mastered power generation, they might not say that. This is the benefit given by the Qin State. With this benefit, the members of the Coal Association know that opportunities for making a fortune will swarm.

"Promise, this is a good opportunity, and the people of Qin State gave it a good one." Other members whispered.

After some whispers, the Zhao Guo Coal Association finally agreed to cooperate with Qin State. Such cooperation is of great significance to them.

Daliang City of Wei State.

"This house price is too expensive. The expensive one is too ridiculous. A gold coin per square meter. You might as well grab it." A new real estate came out. But the price that came out made many people shook their heads and left. They couldn't afford to live in such a house, and it was too expensive for them. Expensive.

"Oh, what do you know? Good things are so expensive. For such a house, don't look at it as having only six floors. The tallest one is only twelve floors." A young man explained. He is a salesperson who specializes in selling houses.

"But, this house is good. It's clean. It's not cold in winter or hot in summer. It has heating. You don't need to make briquettes in winter. As you all know, the price of coal has risen. The briquettes are not safe. Okay, the gas is poisoned. In that case, you say that you are not at a loss. This kind of house is heated, and you feel hot when you wear a vest inside." The other party said.

"The most important thing is that you don’t need to drill wells, tap water, and sewers, all leading to the outside. See those big concrete pipes. That’s the sewers. It’s hard to drill wells where you used to live. Draught is The problem is that you have to boil and drink the water, but, look at this, the tap water is clean, it is no problem to drink directly, and this is the water. Flush the toilet, it is very clean. You said, how comfortable you live in it. People. Living is not just a comfort. The money you spend is worth it. The sewer of this horse repairing bucket is a lot of money, and it is naturally expensive here." Sales said.

The beams are low-lying, and the construction of sewers is a very troublesome project. In this regard, Wei Guo also specially established several sewage pumping stations. In order to solve the problem of sewage discharge. It is this kind of infrastructure that has pushed up housing prices. Whether they can be sold is now very important to them. After all, their houses can only make money if they are sold.

"Beam is a place where you can get a lot of money." Sales said.
