Chapter XXXIV: Imperial Reform Measures

And just like that, April was spent in the midst of Egil's frenzy. Although the kingdom is gradually getting on the right track. A large royal palace was also built in Gothenburg, so that Egil no longer had to sleep in tents. But Egil's mood was still not good. The reason was still because of the previous incident - that no king or grand duke answered his request, did not even write a reply to him, but rushed to invade Poland.

Egil felt as if he had been slapped in the face. Despite his efforts, he has gone from Iceland to Livonia, from the North Pole to the Teland Peninsula. The entire Norman kingdom was like a huge iron curtain over the whole of Europe. And it took Egil a little over two years to do all this. Such a feat was enough to put him on a par with all the great conquerors of history and modernity—but the other side, the short-sighted, damned, unsan-minded European royals, still chose to ignore him.

Of course, the reality was not what Egil had imagined - the royal families of Europe, especially Eastern Europe, did not underestimate Egil, on the contrary, the rulers of all other countries - except for those who were too far away and did not know well, or who were really sick in the brain like Emperor Hui of Jin, all took him seriously. Moreover, it is a big drop in the eyes.

Nowadays, no one privately says that Egil is a harmless little white dove, and that he will not be despised to death. Seriously, after receiving his handwritten letter, several emperors, emperor candidates, kings and grand dukes were very nervous, and they really couldn't figure out what his idea was.

"But in any case, it definitely has something to do with Poland!"

At least that's for sure.

Therefore, several emperors, alternates and other things were in a hurry all of a sudden--did the guy I wiped my tears want to swallow the whole of Poland?!

In this era, there is no principle of unanimity between the gods and the powers. There has never been such a thing as a peaceful partition of Asia, Africa and Latin America. Now the emphasis is on a fast hand and a slow hand, but what Egil thought before was a bit wishful thinking.

That's it.

But Egil didn't know.

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

However, before that, Egil still has a few tasks to do, and, although he is reluctant to admit it, these tasks are quite helpful to continue to strengthen the centralization of power and improve the national power, and his important surname should be ranked in front of the "revenge bastard".

First, unify weights and measures.

Second, unify the written and written language.

These are the two things that a fabled unified, centralized state must do. Strengthen the centripetal force of the country, promote national integration, and so on.

More importantly, it can better promote tax revenue.

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

But what kind of weights and measures should be practiced, Egil is a little uncertain. If we say that the most accurate and convenient is naturally the system of rice, liters, and kilograms that will be jointly implemented all over the world in the future. Decimal, extremely convenient. But this is the most difficult thing to implement. Because there is no tradition at all - then, it is as if a certain Qin in the legend directly and forcibly promoted the weights and measures of his own country?

That seems to be a little overbearing. The rebellion of the Six Nations was not without reason.

Egir was a little unsure, so he went to Aurora to talk to him. Artoria was quite disagreeable about the fact that she often ran to his cheap sister's room, but Egil couldn't say what he was doing.

Although Egil has protested before, "We can communicate directly through our hearts and minds even if we don't have to meet, right?!"

But Aurora protested, saying, "Forget it if you led the army before." But now that we can meet, you can't come, so it's very disrespectful. Is this your attitude of begging?"

Okay, okay, that's it, and Egir had no choice but to go to Aurora's slightly dreamy room.

Egil was sure that this room had been obtained by means of cheating by Aurora - look at the reliefs, the enamel walls, the precious porcelain vases, the Persian carpets on the marble floors, the beautifully carved furniture, the velvet mattresses, and the Aurora in a low-cut evening gown, sitting on a chair made of golden silk nanmu and applying makeup to the crystal mirror......

Egil feels stressed every time he walks here. The place made him feel like he and Artoria's room was like a kennel. And he is a poor country boy who has just inherited a large fortune but does not have enough eyesight.

"Alright, sit down, my 'brother'. After hearing Egil's voice, Aurora still didn't look back, and there was no sarcasm in her words. As she had said, it was Egil who had come to beg her.

So Egil seems very well-behaved.

Later, after saying everything was said, Aurora seemed very indifferent, but still affirmed Egil's thoughts: "It's not bad, at least I've learned to use my brain." ”

That's the degree.

Egil pursed his lips, then leaned back and lay down on Aurora's bed, completely ignoring Aurora's words, "Hurry up, it's going to get dirty." "That's the case. It's a small revenge.

"But, then again, you don't have to worry about that. All you need to do is publish the decree and see how it looks on the system. Aurora snorted lightly: "It's the system's legal reform interface." ”

"Oh, I haven't seen that thing before. Egil nodded, and then opened the system interface. Then he carefully recalled: "It is true - there was no such thing before - that kind of useful thing did not appear at all. ”

"Oh, that's because you didn't have a well-established central government system at that time. So no one will be able to enforce your decrees accurately. So this interface has been blocked. ”

Aurora's explanation eased Egil's doubts a little—only a little, of course.

The whole interface is divided into two columns, of which the left column is the policy that Egil has implemented: the establishment of a local bureaucracy, the establishment of a central bureaucracy, the recovery of judicial power, the prohibition of noble private fighting, the establishment of the Royal Knights, etc., etc., etc., while the right side is the resolution that Egil can implement. Unified weights and measures are divided into several categories, the implementation of modern weights and measures system, the implementation of British weights and measures, the implementation of traditional weights and measures, the implementation of oriental weights and measures, and so on. The bonus gradually decreases. The positive effect is increased trade flow, the promotion of ethnic integration, etc., while the negative effect is the decline of popular sentiment among non-mainstream ethnic groups (i.e., not Vikings).

In addition, there were several decisions to unify the language: Latin, classical Gothic, Germanic, English, French, Gaelic, and so on. Latin was the Roman sissy thing, and Egir didn't think about it. English, French, Gaelic and everything else are all non-mainstream and are not taken into account. Classical Gothic ...... This one is quite literary. But there aren't a lot of people using it now, right? As for what the hell is going on with that generic Earman language? Sounds quite emotional.

So let's look at the annotation:

As a branch of Indo-European Semitic languages, the Ottoic language family is divided into three smaller branches. include

Northern Branch: Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic

Western Branch: English, German, Dutch, Afrikaans, Flemish,, Frisian, etc

Eastern Branch: Gothic. Vandal, Burgundian, Lombard, and Crimean Gothic.

Nowadays, there are many kinds of Germanic languages in the empire, and we need to classify them, compile an alphabet, unify words and sentences, and unify grammar. and to promote a single and consistent language of the court and of education. That's a lot of work. But don't worry, the system will do it for you - all you need is 400,000 gold coins and at least 10 classical colleges in every region of the country.

Egil almost vomited blood. 400,000 yuan?!Your sister's own income of a little more than 380,000 yuan this month, plus a little balance payment last month, adds up to a little more than 400,000 yuan. The co-authorship is going to feed it all to the system?! The implementation of the unified weights and measures only requires 150,000 gold coins. Why is it so much worse all at once?!

"You're robbing money?!" Egil was anxious. Her eyes were about to pop out, and she looked at Aurora with a fierce voice, as if she was going to rush up and "beep" her if she didn't give an explanation.

"I've said it's a system problem, I'm just an auxiliary staff. Aurora looked very indifferent: "I didn't set the price." I'm the most—"

"-- a fixed price, pass the reform of modern weights and measures and the Germanic lingua franca, I will give forty-fifty-fifty thousand!" Egir did not listen to her explanation at all, and began to talk about the price.

"Five thousand gold coins at most! Five thousand gold coins is enough to arm a heavy cavalry squad—"

"-- four hundred fifty-one thousand!"

"-- Four thousand. ”

"--Why did you drop a thousand?!"

"And then go down -- three thousand. ”

"--Your sister, I warn you-"

"-- Two thousand. ”

In the end, it was still Egil who gave in, and the system elves seemed to be just enjoying playing with Egil. In fact, he still gave him a lot of preferential treatment, and the two resolutions added up to 550,000 gold coins, and in the end it only cost 400,000. And it's in installments. No interest. Pay 80,000 gold coins every month and pay it in five months.

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