The order from Emperor Qin Shi Huang to standardize the wheel gauge had been issued long ago, but it would take some time before it was fully implemented.
When Wang Chan left Han, the distance between the two wheels of the carriage she was riding was more than one finger wider than the distance between the two ruts in Qi. If she continued to move forward without changing carriages, she would damage the ruts on the road.
The local people didn't know who Guiguzi was, so they would hit Wang Chan and create a fifth tumor on his forehead.
After buying a new carriage and spending several hundred dollars, Wang Chan and his apprentice were back on the road.
The not-so-young apprentice scratched his white hair and drove the carriage happily towards a destination he didn't know.
