Rise of Rurik

The large beach in Roseburg is very lively, and in the future, this place will exist as a market.

The "big army" of migratory businessmen arrived safely, and almost everyone had great hopes for the Rus. Rus are said to have grabbed huge fortunes during the war? Businessmen are eager to get a piece of the pie now.

Rurik's cousin Arik, who took up the job of keeping the order, bought some leather jackets for himself and the guys along the way.

Leather jackets are almost all from Verdegen. Look, many young Ross men generously took out their silver coins and put on new cowhide jackets to show off happily.

For the time being, Arik has no time to take care of his younger brother, even though his younger brother has now carried the sword of the leader to perform the duties of the leader.

Finally, someone hurried to the noisy market scene and found Arik who was shouting among the chaotic crowd.

"Aric, hurry up! The son of Odin wants you to take your brothers there quickly." The messenger panicked, and his right hand kept pointing in the direction of Gould's mansion.

"Didn't you see what I was busy with?"

"Arik, this is an order. The sons of Odin have asked us to go now, preferably with some elderly men of the tribe as much as possible."

what to do there? Isn't it always the little brother who is in trouble?

At this moment, Arik raised his arms and shouted, which fully reflected the appeal of a young military commander.

In a short period of time, more than 200 men moved by the wind, and they followed closely behind Arik.

Of course, more people are still relying on the market, in order to buy all kinds of useful things before spending their budget.

Arik came with a group of men, almost all of whom were inseparable from their swords. This time they came here as if they were coming for a fight.

As a result, after learning of Rurik's decision, the big guy is not only shocked, but also joyful.

In a short period of time, Rurik and Carlotta, the female leader of Ostara, had an in-depth conversation about the future.

Now, what luxuries can the people of Ostara want? As long as I can live with dignity, it is a great happiness.

So Rurik and Carlotta made an agreement on how to settle most of the refugees immediately.

Arik came excitedly with the men, many of whom were older. After everyone learned of Rurik's very responsible decision, they immediately chatted with the group of refugees.

The women with children, who survived, have been living for two months.

Let the suffering of the past be gone forever, and a new life must begin.

All women with children have found their new home, and that is to immediately marry the Russ who strike up a conversation.

After all, they are women, especially younger women who have given birth. Because of this experience, they basically have no worries of dystocia when they give birth again.

Some Roth men had no qualms at all, they only wanted a wife, and they made a promise to the refugee woman, even pointing out that Rurik was a witness to the promise.

They, who had almost nowhere to live, immediately accepted this kindness. Then, he continued to pull or hold his child and left with his new husband.

For them, a new life has begun.

Carlotta was a little sad and a little relieved.

The tribesmen did not become slaves, but the wives of allied peoples.

But when things are like this, can the Ostara tribe be revived? Having lost all the tribes with men who can use weapons, it is already the greatest luck that the remaining women and children can be taken in or even adopted by the people of allies. But they were saying that they had given up their identity as Ostara, and now they wanted to live in their new identity as Russ.

In addition, there are a group of Ostara orphans, and all of them are girls.

A girl now, a woman in ten years, and then a new generation of mothers for Ross.

The best way Rurik could think of to settle them was to find a home for them. I am afraid that it can not be regarded as a real foster family. Rurik is very convinced that when he decides to implement this decision, it is equivalent to naming his future wife for his subordinates.

Those women with children have all left, leaving a group of orphans standing blankly. They basically know that their so-called leaders are now attached to the strong, and as for themselves...

All the girls kept their mouths shut, only thinking in their hearts that they could have a good home.

Rurik called in a lot of guys again, and these boys were all he thought were powerful beings. To be precise, Rurik divided the boys he trained into groups, and the smallest unit was a group of ten. All he called were "team leaders" and talents destined to grow into Kong Wu Zhuang Han.

The girls got together and the Rurik guys were ordered to stand in a line.

They were all under the close attention of everyone, Gould and Harrodsen, as well as other guys in the queue, were already talking and laughing.

Rurik held the sword, he had already dealt with too many things on his feet, and now Sun Xixiao was tired, he just wanted to end it all as soon as possible.

"Brothers, I'm not talking nonsense. You are loyal to me, of course I have to show it. Look at these girls, they are almost the same age as you. Although it is not in line with our etiquette, I still decided. They all take them away, and when they are twelve years old, they will be engaged!"

Listen, the girls were surprised and delighted, while the boys were only ecstatic.

Even though they are still children, they are looking forward to their twelfth birthdays one by one, eager to get married as soon as possible, and then become real warriors.

"Choose yourselves!" After Rurik gave the order, the boys hurried over, aimed at their target, grabbed each other's wrists and left.

"It's really a bunch of monkeys. I hope you will be very brave on the battlefield in the future." Rurik didn't say much, his eyes kept watching.

His subordinates are only eight or nine years old, so it is more appropriate to say that they are looking for a childhood playmate of the opposite sex rather than choosing their future wives.

This did not leave Rick looking at Kanuf holding the two girls' wrists, his freckled face blooming with a smile.

Among all the subordinates, only Fisk remained calm, but the boy frowned, Rurik felt that things were not easy.

Fisk did not choose his own woman, and Rurik did not intend to treat his loyal fellow in the slightest.

Some time ago, Rurik accidentally discovered a pair of twin sisters among the refugees, and he asked them very cute, but it was sad that their homes were destroyed by the war. Now only these two girls are not involved, and even a fool can understand that these two girls Rurik have other arrangements.

In other words, from the beginning, Rurik wanted to hand over the two girls to Fisk, who was already ten years old. Unexpectedly, Fisk frowned.

All refugee girls have their own homes, so Carlotta is also very pleased.

Fisk, who was empty-handed, was at a loss for a while.

"Fisk!" Rurik asked loudly, winking. "You won't choose one?"

"Do you have to?"

"Why not? You'll be getting engaged soon. It looks like you're worrying about something."

"Yes! Because of me... my home..." Fisk wanted to say that he was poor, but thanks to the care of his buddies, the difficult time has passed. It is the sudden increase of family members and the decline in living standards.

"Come here." Rurik waved his hand, and then pushed the two women who were hidden in the snow to the front desk.

"These two girls will be handed over to you."

"Is this... suitable?" Fisk was actually a little shy in the face of girls who were almost the same age. The two girls also held hands and hooked their heads, shy and at a loss.

"You're actually shy, you're a man, and a general I can trust. You accept what I reward you." After that, Rurik shoved the two girls' backs with both hands, pushing them to Fisk's side. .

"Look, their families were killed by the Danes. Fisk, your father was killed by the Danes. Almost all of us have relatives killed by the Danes, maybe you and they can have a lot of them. words."

The two girls, clearly aware of what Rurik had said, raised their heads at the same time and looked at Fisk's face in surprise with trembling eyes.

it is more than words.

Fisker opened his hands to host them, and the tight mouth and determined eyes were the equivalent of promising his woman that he must avenge the Danes.

Rurik's mouth twitched in relief, and then he shouted loudly; "Brothers, they are your family now. I command you to be kind to them. You don't have to worry about eating at all, and the same is true for your women, every day. Two pounds of fish, this is my reward."

In an instant, Fisk took the lead in yelling at Ulla, and the rest of the people moved.

The children's roars amazed onlookers.

The slogan "Ulla" obviously has no special meaning, but this slogan is rhythmically shouted to Rurik, which is very meaningful.

It can be said that this slogan symbolizes that Rurik has long established an authority, rather than relying on the leader's father's sword.

In a short period of time, women with children, as well as orphans whose families were completely wiped out, all had new homes.

Carlotta took her sister Ella's little hand, and the two of them not only stared at it, but a group of children cheered Rurik in their ears.

But now, he and his sister are really alone.

The female leader of the Ostara tribe? Does it make any sense now? Do you really count on your stomach to rebuild a tribe?

"Then, who will my husband be? Could it be him?" Carlotta looked straight at Rurik's back, and the more she murmured in her heart, the more complicated her mood became.

Finally, two gentle hands covered Carlotta's and Ella's little faces respectively.

They looked up and saw a middle-aged woman with a wrinkled face and a peaceful attitude.

"Madam, you are..." Carlotta asked weakly.

"I am the chief's wife, Rurik's mother. Child, be my child, okay?"

"I...maybe I should think about it again."

"There's no need to think about it anymore." Nia smiled and said, "I will take care of you like your own mother. The real chief of the Ross tribe will be your father. Look." Nia pointed to her own Son: "Rurik, the future chief of the Rus, he is your brother. What do you think, children?"

Do you still have to think about it?

Carlotta and Ella, the two of them were eager to be adopted by the Ross leader. Carlotta did not dare to think too much, and there was no way to think too much.

"Okay, Mom." Carlotta entered the state instantly. Ella looked at her sister's actions and called out to her mother reluctantly.

Niya smiled comfortably. She put her face close and her mouth close to her children's ears: "What a smart and good boy. In the future, you will live with Rurik. Well...forever."

This remark was Niya's hint, she didn't think that Carlotta actually knew everything.

"Mom, I understand."

"Oh? You understand?"

"Yes, I... Ella and I will... be Rurik's wives. That's right."

"Of course. Would you like to?" Niya asked knowingly.

"I am willing, coming to the Ross tribe is the most correct choice for us Ostarans." Carlotta burst into tears as he spoke.

"Child, don't cry, we will live a good life in the future." Niya wiped Carlota's tears with her left hand, and pinched Ella's chubby little face with her right hand subconsciously. She thought Carlotta was moved to tears, but that was only part of the truth.

Carlotta is still a little sad. After all, the refugees in Ostara have been guaranteed their survival, and everyone has dignity in the future. But Ostara has been absorbed by the Ross tribe, and a complete and independent Ostara may never exist again.

Nia was very happy to adopt the last two sisters of the Ostara tribe, and she even wished that her son and these two girls would grow up in an instant, and then get married.

The Svitalana in the east was something Nia didn’t know and couldn’t touch. Although Rumia saw her every day, she was a deer breeder and a servant after all, so Nia felt a little bit jealous.

Carlotta and Ella are different. They are naturally beautiful, and the extremely strong qualities that were realized when they fled were also respected by the Rus. When such girls grow up, they must be very outstanding women, not to mention their identities are also very noble.

Holding the two daughters' cheeks, Niya even thought of names for her grandchildren, which were the names of her two dead sons.

There is no such thing as auspiciousness or bad luck here. Niya only hopes that her two grandsons can inherit the names of their dead uncles and make up for Niya's lingering pain of bereavement in her life.

The mother took in the female leader of the Ostara tribe as her daughter. At this time, Rurik did not object at all, and he was fully psychologically prepared.

In this way, the refugees of Ostara have a good home.

Next, there are many people who need to have a clear destination.

The most difficult issue here is the residence of the servants. The two large "barrack dormitories" built by Rurik were fully operational, but the number of people who came was so large that the barracks could not be squeezed out.

Besides, the two barracks had their own purpose.

One barracks was for the most loyal servants, and the other was for the mercenaries.

The current problem is that there are too many comers, and the existing infrastructure is completely unable to meet the actual needs.

Rurik realized the magnitude of the problem and the urgency of change.

Because, although it is the end of August, winter is coming!

A number of solid and warm houses must be built before winter. They do not need to be made into woodcuts with wooden floors and fireplaces. They can be built according to traditional longhouses. The ultimate goal is to ensure that they will not freeze to death.

Giving all his servants security and adequate food, Rurik was no saviour of suffering.

All servants are useful, to take in the Ostarans, the Rus also need to reap the benefits from the righteous deeds. Because this is not the territory of the Ostara people, they have to charge "rent" to take them in. The rent is of course easy to negotiate, but they are always penniless at the moment, and they still have to pay some price. Those women with children became the wives of the Rus, and that was a price. Orphaned refugees become the future wives of their guys, and that's a price.

That's the price, everyone can be tricky.

As for the servants that Gould obtained through various channels, they had to pay unconditionally to get it in exchange for the owner's food for survival and the qualification to live in a warm house.

However, Rurik did have a heavy heart of compassion, and in the face of a large group of beggars who were said to be picked up, Rurik had already thought about his decision.

Not to mention that among the people who were transported, there were a large number of girls.

Many clansmen felt that the role of these children was really insignificant, but Rurik did not think so. Compared with boys, these girls who have lost their support are the best at grasping opportunities, and their demands for a stable and peaceful life are also extremely strong. And because they are women, they are basically insulated from armed rebellion.

Whether it is a refugee girl or a beggar picked up by Melalen, they will all become laborers. Although expecting them to do manual work was a fantasy, Rurik only intended to arrange for them to do high-tech work. For example, making soap, or pulling to the smithy to do errands. Even mowing the grass in the wilderness and bringing it back to raise reindeer.

No matter how weak they are, they are still labor! Of course, the situation will be better with some cultural education.

Rurik had already thought about it. When the boring winter came, he would serve as a teacher to teach his subordinates some cultural lessons, especially to popularize practical mathematics knowledge. Now it seems that there are many students who can be educated. Just to be a teacher by yourself, don't you have to be too tired to faint?

Rurik thought of Rumia, who was his first student. After all, students have to become teachers to educate more students.

As for the food issue, this is not a problem, but it is also an issue that Rurik must negotiate with Gould as soon as possible.

And this is what Rurik and Gould have agreed on, and they must negotiate tonight.

On the afternoon of arriving in Hong Kong, all kinds of people were waiting for refugees, servants and mercenaries. Rurik believed that the resettlement work for this group of people had been completed. To accommodate so many people, Gould must be able to provide a lot of help. Before the new house was built, Rurik felt that he needed to continue to get Gould's help.

Gould is a businessman who seeks money, and on this basis, is also a guy who knows current affairs.

Rurik knew that today, as the leader of Ross, he had to finalize the biggest business deal in the history of the Ross tribe, and the business would be negotiated immediately!
