The weights and measures of the Sassen Empire were established thousands of years ago when the empire was still a kingdom when the empire was founded by the Albis the Great, and it is full of roughness.

For example, the weight unit of the pound, according to Xia Lin's calculation, 1 small pound is about equal to his definition of 3.5 grams, while 1 pound is 350 grams, 1 heavy pound is 3500 grams, and then what?

There's no bigger weight unit next! Because the ministers in charge of making weights and measures during the period of Albis the Great did not expect that there were hundreds or thousands of weights that could not be measured in practical application, and they described this weight as just like the ancients in Xia Lin's previous life used ten thousand miles to describe the mountains, which was already an imaginary number.

So now, Xia Lin asked the managers in the factory to write down how many thousands, how many tens of thousands of pounds when recording the output, which is quite inconvenient.

The length unit of bini is also a big problem, 1 bini is 1.2 cm defined by Xia Lin, this measure is acceptable for daily use, but in the industry with high accuracy requirements, Xia Lin found that the small bini after ten equal parts is too big, the accuracy of the human eye can reach 0.1 mm, and one-tenth of bini is an unacceptable error in industrial applications.

As for the 1 short bini that is about 1.2 decimeters, and the 1 long bini that is 1.2 meters is also extremely strange, why is the short bini behind the bini longer than the bini? The rand units roughly equivalent to the kilometer behind the long bini are also confusing.

It all seems extremely complicated, let alone used in practice.

The area unit has the same problem, 1 Aral is about 1.44 square kilometers, 1 small Aral is actually 1.44 square decimeters, and why is 1 large Aral 1.44 square meters?

The square centimeter-level area does not seem to be within the scope of use of the people of the empire, and it is really strange for the people of the Sassen Empire to continue to use such strange weights and measures for thousands of years.

Therefore, after Xia Lin began to study magic, he used his spare time to redefine a set of metric units, which naturally had an error with the metric units of his previous life, but it was much easier to use than this set of imperial units.

millimeters, centimeters, decimeters, meters, kilometers.

square centimeters, square decimeters, square meters, acres, square kilometers.

grams, kilograms, tons.

Milliliters, liters, these familiar units, Xia Lin used several times easier than the imperial unit when recording data, and even a group of researchers were familiar with this kind of weights and measures specifications.

In addition to this, the dwarven masters of the machine tool factory also used the metric units formulated by Xia Lin, because it was too troublesome to use these words such as Binial in industrial production, and Xia Lin did not bother to consider the conversion of these units when designing the specifications of the machine.

In addition, the dwarven masters already had their own set of weights and measures, and the use of imperial units was not as convenient as Xia Lin's metric units, so over time, the machine tool factory became a member of the alliance of metric weights and measures.

In order to facilitate the establishment of the industrialization system in the future, Xia Lin decided to immediately start to promote the public system of weights and measures within the alliance.

This is an extremely complex and difficult task, and the stewards and bookkeepers of the various chambers of commerce have been trained in imperial weights and measures since childhood, and goods are bought and sold in pounds and weights rather than grams and kilograms.

But Xia Lin still decided to promote it, after all, the imperial weights and measures are too anti-human, difficult to remember, and troublesome to use, and the math textbook he wrote at Xinglan Elementary School also used the metric units he defined.

Came to Anti Palace and met with Her Royal Highness the Princess, Xia Lin explained her intention one by one, and the Princesse took a sip of black tea and said thoughtfully:

"Sir Charlin, it's not a problem for your institute to recruit sergeants, and my grandfather has already conveyed to the Administration Department that he hopes to train a new army for the palace guards, and the ministers will discuss this matter at today's council.

The plan to repair the roads in the Imperial Capital and the surrounding area will also be proposed by Count Karen at the Imperial Council, and I don't think it will be too much of a hindrance if it does not require the use of funds from the Imperial treasury.

The R&D center investigates and calls the R&D of craftsmen belonging to the alliance member chambers of commerce is a matter set at the beginning of the alliance's establishment, and you only need to communicate with the councilors at the next alliance meeting.

But are you sure this measurement must be changed?"

"Yes, Your Highness! Our current weights and measures are completely unable to meet the needs of the Alliance, and this is not only a problem for our Star Blue Industrial Park, but also for the entire Alliance, and even the entire Empire.

There are many benefits to the new metric unit, like I just need to write it down and you get it!"

Xia Lin nodded and took out a pen and paper to draw two grids, one table recorded data in metric units, and the other table recorded in imperial units.

The metric unit only needs to record how much, how many k, how many t, etc., and the reduction unit of the Sassen alphabet is applied by Xia Lin, which is clear and intuitive, simple and straightforward.

The Imperial unit has to record several words, and after it is reduced to the first letter, due to the difference between Bini and Rand and other units, it is impossible to distinguish the size of these data at once, and the difference between short Bini, Long Bini, and Bini is even more misty.

"Well, it looks like the new unit you've made is really handy.

But our empire has been using this set of weights and measures for a thousand years, and everyone keeps accounts and counts like this, and even if this proposal is submitted to the alliance meeting for discussion, I don't think there is the slightest possibility of passing it."

Although the princess Dorothea quickly saw the many benefits of the metric unit, after thinking for a moment, she shook her head and rejected Xia Lin's idea of promoting the public system of weights and measures within the alliance.

"Your Royal Highness, this is not necessarily, when I was with the Dwarven Masters in the Machine Tool Factory, I heard many of them complain about the units of weights and measures in the Empire.

At Karl's lab, my fellow researchers often say that imperial units are counter-intuitive weights and measures.

These voices show that there is a lot of dissatisfaction with the inconvenient use of imperial weights and measures, but no one wants to, and no one has the power to change the situation.

Moreover, as a person in a position of authority, we should not only see people's opposition and follow people's ideas to formulate policies, but also guide people's minds so that they understand and approve of their own governance.

The promotion of the metric system will indeed affect the lives of many people, but its benefits can be seen by everyone, but there will be a lot of pain in the early days.

The members of the business alliance, I don't think they are necessarily reluctant to change, but the cost of their change is a bit big.

When we put forward the proposal, we can propose the establishment of the Alliance Metric Unit Promotion Institute, so that a group of accountants and stewards who are willing to learn the metric unit will first go to Xinglan Primary School for a period of further study, and then assist everyone to sort out the recent old ledger into a new ledger.

In the future, the alliance will also support the members of the alliance in these aspects, so that naturally, the metric unit will be promoted."

In the face of the veto of the imperial daughter, Xia Lin did not give up half of the thoughts, in his opinion, the imperial unit is the biggest obstacle to the establishment of the industrial system.

Such an anti-human unit does not have any other benefits except for the innumerable cost of cultivating talents, and the countless detours in the establishment of the industrial system.

"Lead people to agree with themselves? Sir Charling really has a lot of unique insights.

But are you really unhappy with the Empire's current units of weights and measures?"

After hearing Xia Lin's insistent words, Princess Dorothea frowned slightly and asked with some doubts.

"Your Royal Highness, I don't think anyone will be satisfied with this strange form of weights and measures, but they are used to it, and if they want to change, they still have to rely on our alliance to force it."

Xia Lin said with certainty, even their group of mages with extraordinary memories are quite uncomfortable to use, what is the need for existence? The so-called tradition is something that is meant to be shattered and rebuilt in the process of change.

"I see, I'll ask the members of the alliance if they have any problems with this, and I'll take care of it

Tell my father about what you said about the Royal Academy of Magic recruiting graduate students."

After thinking for a while, Empress Dorosia felt that after Xia Lin said this, the disadvantages of the imperial unit were indeed a lot, she nodded, and decided to summon some alliance members during this time to ask them what they thought in this regard.
