Section 8 Unified Measurement
The leaders came to Arude in sequence in sequence, including peasant women wearing fat dresses and headscarves on their heads and chins, as well as Germanic nobles wearing cloaks on their shoulders. They all came to ask Arude to preside over the fair resolution of the dispute. After all, the requests of the farmers were simply probably trivial matters between neighbors. Arude made rulings on the farmers' civil disputes one by one with the customs of the European Union and a legal program on CCTV in memory. In short, the farmers were satisfied. However, what was more troublesome at this time was the lawsuit requests of the Germanic nobles.
"Dear Count, I am Bert from the Jin family." A middle-aged nobleman with brown hair walked up to Arod. In fact, even the nobles were not all rich. Bert from the Jin family only owned a dozen acres of land, and was no different from ordinary farmers except for their bloodline.
"Bert, what request do you have?" Arod sat on the throne of the lord and yawned. He couldn't blame him. It was also a brain-consuming task to deal with these trivial litigation cases.
"It is the respected Count. My family and I have a piece of land. We have been working hard to farm and thank God." Bert from the Jin family made a cross on his chest, and it could be seen that this was a squire who was more content with the status quo.
"Father, let's talk about the point." At this moment, a young noble man behind Bert said impatiently. He had the same brown hair and an iron sword around his waist. The sword was the privilege of the noble, and his nose was covered with many freckles.
"What is this?" Arod looked at Bert King curiously and asked Bert, and could tell that the young man looked indignant.
"This is my second son, Harold." Bert quickly explained to Arod.
"Speak. Why do you come to file a lawsuit with me?" Arod nodded, and he turned his eyes to the country squire Bert again and asked.
"That's right. After a whole year of hard work, my family and I harvested a lot of wheat and apples. My wife and daughter also planted a lot of flax. In addition to the use of their own family, we planned to get the excess to the port of Mecklenburg. It was sold to the merchants there, but, but~~~." Burt didn't seem to be a frequent dealing with the great nobles, who usually care more about his own little land. He stuttered to Arod.
"But the merchants from other countries in the port actually deducted a lot of our crops, causing our family to suffer losses. According to my idea, I should teach them a lesson with a sword, but my father insisted on filing a lawsuit with you." Harold inserted his waist, holding the hilt of the sword around his waist, and said loudly in dissatisfaction, his voice echoed in the hall of the lord.
"Your father is right. In Mecklenburg, I must follow the law. I will never allow the use of force by privately voluntarily." Arod knew the hot temper of the young man, but in order to maintain Mecklenburg's stability, he certainly could not encourage such behavior, so he raised his face and said to Harold.
"Yes, Lord Earl." Bert hurriedly pulled his second son and bowed to Arod.
"Okay, monk Elvit goes to call the merchants from the port. I want to ask what's going on?" Arod said to monk Elvit. Although it was the aristocrats who sold their crops to merchants. But this shows that with the increasing economic activities in his territory and the increasing output of crops, this kind of trading activity will flourish. If merchants cheated and exploited their own leaders, Arod would definitely not give up.
"Dear Earl." Soon, while Bert and his son were waiting, Monk Elvit sent people to find merchants from the port of Mecklenburg, and these foreign merchants who had sailed to Mecklenburg respectfully saluted Arod.
"A noble in my territory sold you crops, but they thought they had been deceived and filed a lawsuit against me, so I hope you will give me a reasonable explanation." Arod placed his elbow on the arm of the seat. He supported his head with his left hand and asked the merchants in the port.
"What?" The merchants at the port looked to the side and saw the two Jin family father and son standing aside. They immediately understood and quickly explained to Aruod that although the price they gave after weighing was not the highest, it was just an ordinary price. However, Bert and his son started to make a big fuss in anger, and there was a small storm in the port.
"What the hell is going on?" Arod certainly could not listen to anyone's one-sided words. He turned to Bert and his son and asked. After confronting the two sides, Arod realized that the units of weighing they used were completely different. The units of measurement of the Mason Principality in the East Frank Kingdom used by Bert and his son, and the merchants at the port came from the West Frank Kingdom. The units of measurement of the principality of the Frank Kingdom they were in, which resulted in errors between each other.
"Of course, we do business everywhere, and we are definitely not cheating." The merchant from the West Frank Kingdom said aggrievedly. This error actually seemed completely normal to them, but unexpectedly, they encountered the serious Bert and his son who had accused him of the lord.
"Well." Arude touched his chin. If an ordinary lord had definitely continued to do it according to the original tradition, but Arude had a sudden idea and he had an idea in his mind.
"Master Earl, please make a judgment." Bert and his son bowed to Arod together with the French merchants, and said to Arod.
"I understand, is there such a thing that monk Elvit?" Aruod turned his head and did not directly say to the two parties involved. Instead, he asked his palace prime minister Monk Elvit.
"It is inevitable that such things are true of Lord Earl." Monk Elvit blinked. The merchants controlled economic activities. How to use the unit of measurement is their freedom. Does Arod have to take care of merchants from other countries?
"Bert, your losses will be borne by Mecklenburg." Arod stood up and said to the Bert and his son.
"What? Is this true? Thank you for your generous Count." After hearing this, Bert King knelt down on one knee to Arod and loudly praised Arod's generosity and kindness.
"Sir, Count." Monk Elvit hurriedly came to Arud's side, grabbed the corner of Arud's robe, and wanted to remind Arud.
"Monster Elvitt will issue a lord decree to the entire Mecklenburg tomorrow. From now on, all merchants who trade in Mecklenburg will use the weighing and measuring units that must be based on Mecklenburg. The use of units of measurement from other countries will not be allowed. Violations will be subject to a three-fold fine for their property sales." Arod ignored Monk Elvitt's reminder. He wanted to take this opportunity to completely unify Mecklenburg's units of measurement. Only a unified unit of measurement can promote the economic development of the territory. This is one of the contents of Shangjun's reforms.
"Well, this is a good idea." Monk Elvit began to hear Aroud bear the losses of the Bert family. As the prime minister, he believed that Aroud had suffered unnecessary losses, but then Aroud proposed the method of unifying the unit of measurement. It was a good idea to think about it carefully.
People did not realize that it was this initiative that started the reform of Mecklenburg. Arod's dazzling reform content would greatly improve Mecklenburg's strength and lay the foundation for its unification of the Baltic coastal territory. This was only started by this small lawsuit. In order to ensure that his measures to unify the unit of measurement will not become empty talk, Arod also ordered the Mecklenburg smelting base to produce metrological equipment, put these metrological equipment in Mecklenburg's markets, towns and ports, and appointed officials to manage these metrological equipment.
"Arod heard that you unified the unit of measurement in our territory?" When night fell, Arod returned to the bedroom with tired steps, Princess Josie lay on their big bed and said softly.
"Do you know too?" Aruod took off his cloak under the maids' service. When he took off his clothes for some reason, one of the young maids suddenly swept his fingers over Aruod's crotch. The slender fingers that scratched by lightly made Aruod stunned. When Princess Josie became pregnant, Aruod hadn't tasted it for a long time. Harvey led the Blood Drip Brothers to be busy with the affairs of the intelligence website. He didn't feel it when he was busy on weekdays, but now he was teased by this little maid, Aruod only felt a hot current rushed down.
"Come on, the weather is so cold." Princess Qiaoxi was wearing loose white tassel pajamas, with long blonde hair spreading. Her lower abdomen was raised high, and her chest became more plump than before, and there was a strange charm. In Arude's view, it might be the so-called maternal emanation. Looking at her wife who was gradually plump, Arude couldn't feel the cold at all.
"Haha." The maids all covered their little mouths and smiled. After serving, they carefully left the bedroom, leaving only Princess Aruod and Princess Josie.
"Ah, yes." Aruod took off a corner of the quilt and drilled into the soft big bed. He had already warmed up with something like a warm treasure inside. He lay comfortably beside Princess Qiaoxi, close to his beautiful princess, and his fingers unconsciously crossed Princess Qiaoxi's mountain. The white tassel nightgown made Princess Qiaoxi's snow-white skin appear more tempting. Aruod only felt that the lower abdomen became extremely hard.
"Yeah~~~." Princess Qiaoxi keenly noticed Arude's changes. A ray of rose red appeared on her cheeks, her long eyelashes drooped, and her shy look made Arude scratch her head.
"Your Highness, this is not possible." Aruod couldn't help but hold Princess Josie's little hand, but when he thought of her bulging belly, he was worried that his recklessness would harm the child. It was like a thirsty person placing a cup of water that could only be seen but not drunk in front of him, and he felt extremely miserable.
"It's okay, the maids gave me a good idea." Princess Qiaoxi bit her lips gently. She never thought that she would become so hungry and embarrassed one day, but the movement in her hand did not stop. Her slender and white hands slowly went down until she grabbed Aruod's vital point and grabbed it hard.
"Oh oh~~." Aruod made a sound in pain and excitement. The wind outside the castle was cold, but the bedroom became extremely beautiful. (To be continued...)
