Chapitre 135: Council Meeting [2]

"Is this the measuring scale going to be used as the standard?" Mithun asked, inspecting the scale with a curious look. 

Harsha put the metallic scale on the table. 

"You can have a look and determine the efficiency of the scale." 

The scale passed through the hands of the merchants and all the council members inspecting it to check how the markings and symbols correlated. 

"This seems quite useful for smaller weights, but the suppliers have to use bigger weights to measure things." A concerned merchant said.

"We can create a bigger scale with the help of the same principle." Harsha responded.

"Principle?" Bhaskara asked with a hint of surprise in his voice. "So, his Majesty made this scale from scratch. A new unit for measuring both length and weight?" 

Harsha nodded slightly.
