"Ahh

Alice brought a glass of water and said, "Brother, don't be too tired, be careful of the wind and cold, come and drink some hot water." ”

Since I came home, I told Alice "good news", Alice was very happy, and Alice was happy to see Alice happy, and I changed my plan in vain.

Alice actually doesn't know much about love, Yarlin is good to her, and her status is noble, and she never imagined that she could marry a nobleman.

You know, when Yarman was in power, the marriage leave of the commoners in the territory had to be approved by the lord, if you don't agree, hehe, then you will die alone, this is also Alger's suggestion to Yarman.

Alan took a sip of hot water and sorted out the information in his hands, I really don't know, the financial deficit of the territory has begun, the enthusiasm of farmers is low, the grain production has decreased, and even the price of grain has been decreasing year by year, and there are no special products in the territory, so the finance is declining year by year, there is no money and food, how can the army be rioted?

Solve the problem of territorial land first, and then talk about other things.

Thinking about Allen, he began to recall the systems and measures on the earth, and combined with the situation of the territory, he should be able to change the situation of the territory soon.

At this time, all tax rates in the territory have to be abolished, reformulated, and it is certainly not possible to copy them, but they can be combined with several measures, such as the equalization system, to encourage reclamation, but first the statistical calculation of the territory farmland has geometry, the division of farmland grades, after all, the fertility of the field is different, ancient China divided the field into three types, upper, middle and lower, effectively divided the tax level.

After that, the land can be redivided using the equalization system, which must be completed this winter, otherwise it will have to wait another year for the land to be cultivated next year.

Alan thought, from time to time to write and draw on parchment, but unfortunately there is no paper, but when he finds bamboo in the future, he can make paper, which is definitely a big killer for money.

After a short time, a piece of parchment was full of words, and Alan put down his pen and muttered to himself: "Complete these first, the rest is not in a hurry, tomorrow I will go and call someone to measure the existing fields together." ”

In this world, there are very few people who can read, and only nobles can read, if it weren't for the help of Priest Bishop, Alan might not be able to write, and there are many literate and reading people in the territory, at least the knights know how to read and read, in addition, there are some slaves purchased when Anse Air was in the past, all of them are some noble and down-and-out people, and they have become some subordinate units within the castle, because there are constant disputes between the lords of the Cize Kingdom, and there are constantly lords who are defeated and down, and are punished by the victors for slave trade, which are all literate slaves, and the price is naturally high, and Baron Al was also very bold at that time。

Alan ordered to go down, and in a moment five or six people would come.

"Consul, I don't know ......what you're looking for us," said one of the older ones.

Alan first observed these five people, except for the one who had just spoken, the other four people lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at themselves, seeing that I was already in office, but thinking about it, he said: "It's nothing, I just looked at the records of the territory, and found that there was no record of the total amount of fields, so I thought, tomorrow I will measure the fields in the territory, and tell you to prepare, bring your tools, don't waste time to prepare tomorrow." ”

After listening to what Allen said, the older one looked around, lowered his head and said, "Lord Consul, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, there are no measuring tools in the territory, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to measure......"

Hearing that there were no measuring tools in the territory, Alan frowned, it shouldn't be, so he asked, "How can there be no in the territory?"

"It can't be said that there are none, but there are a lot of them, the measuring tools are different in various parts of the kingdom, not to mention that since the chaos between the various lords, the measuring tools of each lord are even different, and the El Leader appeared a little late, and he has not had his own measuring tools, and has been using the measuring tools of the Viscount of Amos, but the territory does not have measuring tools now, so I can only go to the nearest town to buy them. ”

Didn't you expect that Elling hadn't even thought about surveying the land before?

After walking around the room a few times, it is better to simply make a set of measurement standards yourself, and you don't have to go so troubled in the future.

"There should be a carpenter in the territory, go and get it for me, by the way, what's your name. Alan thought about it and said, only to realize that he didn't know the other party's name.

"The old slave's name is Will, and there is a carpenter in the territory, so I will find it for my lordship. With that, Will turned and went straight to the carpenter.

looked at the remaining four people and said, "Don't stand there stupidly, tell me your names, what will you do?" Well~ Let's start with you." Alan pointed to a tall, lanky young man in his twenties.

"The slave's name is Gern, and he has read some books and counts. The tall and thin man said.

"The slave's name is Cory,......"

After the introduction of the four of them in turn, Alan frowned, because their skills were basically the same, but yes, if they were all nobles, the education they received would be similar.

Looking at Allen, who was thinking deeply, the four of them didn't dare to speak, and quietly waited for Allen's referee.

The air was silent, "Your Excellency, the carpenter has been found." Will's voice broke the silence and Alan's musings.

Alan had just thought about it for a while, so why not use what he had set as a standard and develop a set of measuring tools, he had already decided to imitate the practice of a king.

Let the carpenter take the ink line, measure the distance of his own step, and set it as the basic unit after the territory, set it as the meter based on the decimal system, divide it into tens, set it as the decimeter, and divide it as a smaller unit on the basis of the second. (One step here refers to taking the left and right feet as a step)

The carpenter was instructed to make the corresponding wooden rulers, and to make some "soft rulers", that is, line rulers, to measure the fields of the territory.

With this standard ruler, then the capacity can also be calculated, and the corresponding standard can be formulated, such as the container, with a cylindrical container with a diameter of one decimeter and one centimeter and a decimeter as a height, and set it as the quantity, that is, a unit - liters, and the grain can be harvested later, which can be used as a standard.

Now that the balance is left, then one liter of water is used as a kilogram, but it is necessary to make an iron standard, determine the most basic unit, and use it as the standard in the future, without worrying that there will be some big errors.

Tell Will what he thinks, let him go with the carpenter, and set up all the units.

For three days, Alan thought about giving Will three days, and after three days, weights and measures were established and reforms began.
