Chapter 34 Measures for Imperial Reform

In this way, April was spent in amid the crazy sound of Egil. Although the kingdom was gradually on track, the large palace in Gothic Castle was also built, so that Egil would not have to sleep in the tent anymore. However, Egil was still in a bad mood. The reason was still because of the previous incident - no king or grand duke responded to his request, and did not even write him a reply, but instead rushed to invade Poland.

Egil felt like he had been slapped in the face. Although he had worked so hard, from Iceland to Livornia, from the North Pole to the Jutland Peninsula, the entire Norman Kingdom was like a huge iron curtain, and Egil only took more than two years to do all this. Such great achievements were enough to compare him with all the great conquerors of ancient and modern times - but the other party, those short-sighted, damn, and abnormal-minded European royal families, still chose to ignore him.

Of course, the actual situation is different from what Egir imagined. Europe, especially the royal families in Eastern Europe, did not underestimate Egir. On the contrary, the rulers of other countries, except those who were too far away from the news, or those who were really sick like Emperor Hui of Jin, all took him in their eyes. Moreover, they were very much in their eyes.

Now anyone else privately says that Egil is a harmless little white dove with humans and animals, and may not be despised to death. To be honest, after receiving his handwritten letter, several emperors, emperor candidates, kings and grand dukes were very nervous, and they really couldn't figure out what he was thinking about.

"But no matter what, it's definitely true that it has something to do with Poland!"

At least this is certain.

Therefore, several emperors and the candidates suddenly became anxious - did the guy who wiped his tears want to swallow the whole of Poland?! He didn't even give our family a bite of soup?! He wasn't afraid of suffocating to death?!

There was no such principle of unity between God, Horse and the Grand Powers in this era. There has never been a peaceful division of Asia, Africa, Latin America. What is now important is that one has a fast hand and a slow hand. What Egil thought before was a bit wishful thinking.

That's it.

Yet Egil didn't know.

So, Egil wants to revenge on these "damn bastards".

However, before this, Egil had several tasks to do, and although he was reluctant to admit it, these tasks were of great help to continue to strengthen centralization and enhance national strength, and their importance was to rank ahead of "retaliation against the bastard".

First, unify weights and measures.

Second, unify language and writing.

These two, one of the legendary unified and centralized countries must do two things. Strengthen the state's centripetal force, promote national integration, and so on.

More importantly, it can better promote tax revenue.

Well, it seems that in the eyes of a guy like Egil, this kind of thing is the most important thing.

But what kind of weights and measures are implemented? Egil is a little inaccurate. If the most accurate and convenient thing is naturally the system of mass rice, liters and kilograms that the whole world has jointly implemented in the future. The decimal system is extremely convenient. But this is the hardest to implement. Because there is no tradition at all - then, it is like the legendary Qin, who directly forcibly promotes the weights and measures of his own country?

That seemed to be a little domineering. There was a reason why the rebellion of the six countries was not without.

Egil was a little unsure, so he went to discuss with Aurora. Although Artoria often ran to his cheap sister's room, he had quite an objection - but Egil couldn't say anything about it, and he was all because of the serious business.

Although Egil had previously protested, "Even if we don't have to meet, we can communicate directly through our hearts, right?"

But Aurora protested and said, "If you led the army to fight before, then forget it. But now you can clearly meet, but you can't come. This is very disrespectful. Is this your attitude to ask for help?"

OK OK OK OK OK OK That's it, Egil had no choice but to go to the slightly dreamy room decorated by Aurora.

Egil was sure that this room was cheated by Aurora by some means - look at these reliefs, these enamel walls, these precious porcelain vases, and Persian carpets on marble floors, various beautifully carved furniture, velvet mattresses, and Aurora wearing low-cut evening outfits, sitting on a golden nanmu chair, wearing a crystal mirror.

Every time Egil walked here, he felt very stressed. This place made him feel that his room with Artoria was like a doghouse. He was a poor country boy who had just inherited a large fortune but had no enough eyesight.

"Okay, sit down, my 'brother'." After hearing Egil's voice, Aurora still did not look back, and there was no sarcasm in the sentence. As she said, Egil came to ask her.

So Egil seems very well-behaved.

Afterwards, after saying everything, Aurora seemed very calm, but still affirmed Egil's idea: "It's not bad, at least I've learned to use my brain."

That's the level.

Egil curled his lips, then leaned back and lay on Aurora's bed, completely ignoring what Aurora said, "Get up quickly, it will get dirty." Such words were considered a small revenge.

"But then again, you don't have to worry about this at all. You just need to issue the decree and then look at the effect displayed on the system." Aurora snorted: "It's the system's decree reform interface."

"Oh, I haven't seen that thing before." Egil nodded, then opened the system interface. He then recalled carefully: "Indeed - there was no such thing before - that kind of useful thing has never appeared at all."

"Oh, that's because you didn't establish a complete central government system at that time. So no one can implement your laws accurately. So this interface has always been blocked."

Aurora's explanation eased Egil's doubts a little bit--of course, just a little bit.

The entire interface is divided into two columns, the column on the left is the policies that Egil has implemented: establishing a local bureaucracy system, establishing a central bureaucracy system, reclaiming judicial power, banning private fights of aristocratic families, establishing a royal knights, etc., and on the right is the resolution that Egil can implement. The unified weights and measures are divided into several categories, implementing the modern weights and measures system, implementing the British weights and measures, implementing traditional weights and measures, implementing the Eastern weights and measures, etc. The additive effect is gradually reduced. The positive effect is to increase trade circulation, promote national integration, etc., while the negative effect is to decline the people's hearts of non-mainstream nations (that is, not the Vikings).

In addition, there are also some resolutions for unified language and writing: to implement Latin, classical Gothic, pan-Germanic, English, French, Gelic, etc. Latin is the group of Roman sissy things, and Egil did not consider it. English, French, Gelic and other things are non-mainstream, and they are not considered. Classical Gothic... This is quite literary. But there are not many people using it now, right? As for what is the Pan-Germanic? It sounds quite touching.

So then read the annotation:

As a branch of the Indo-European Semitic language, the Germanic language family is divided into three small branches.

Northern Branch: Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic

Western China: English, German, Dutch, Afrikaans, Flemish, Yidi, Frisian, etc.

Dongzhi: Gothic. Vandal, Burgundian, Lombardy and Crimean Gothic.

Nowadays, the empire has many Germanic languages. We need to classify them, compile alphabets, unify words and sentences, unify grammar, and promote a single and consistent court and educational terminology. This is a huge project. But don’t worry, the system will help you complete it - all you need is 400,000 gold coins and build at least ten classical academies in various regions of the country.

Egil almost vomited blood. 400,000?! Your sister earned more than 380,000 yuan this month, and the final payment last month, which was only a little over 400,000 yuan. After all, they would have to be fed to the system?! The unified weight and measure above only requires 150,000 gold coins. Why is it so much different all of a sudden?!

"Are you robbing money?!" Egil was anxious. His eyes were almost glaring out, and he looked at Aurora with a stern expression, as if she was about to rush forward and force her to "beat" her without giving an explanation.

"Everyone said that this is a system problem. I am just an auxiliary." Aurora seemed very calm: "The price was not what I set. I can do the most-"

"——Free price, pass the modern weights and measures and the reform of Germanic linguistics, and I will give you 450,000!" Egil had no intention of listening to her explanation at all, and started talking about the price directly.

"At most, 5,000 gold coins are enough to arm a heavy cavalry team-"

“—Forty-five thousand!”

"--four thousand."

“—Why is it reduced by a thousand?!”

"Let's talk about it and then drop - three thousand."

"——Your sister, I will warn you——”

"--two thousand."

In the end, Egil was still surrendering. The system elves seemed to be just enjoying playing with Egil. In actual operation, they still gave him a lot of discounts. The two resolutions combined require 550,000 gold coins, and in the end they only cost 400,000. And they were paid in installments. No interest. Eighty thousand gold coins are paid every month and paid in five months.

However, Aurora also said that the reform of weights and measures can be basically completed within half a year. However, the reform of common language and writing takes more time...
