Rise of Rurik

Remember for a second【】

Rurik got a full rest in his mansion, and when he woke up again, he had to sigh with emotion that such a good building had to change the purpose of its existence.

He has already figured it out. With the relocation of the political center, the Palace of Roseburg, the only three-story attic in the city, has exactly the value as the local administrative center, and it is the most suitable as the Governor's Palace.

He listened to the servant's report and understood the demands of the old guys who couldn't wait for the meeting.

Since you are in a hurry to have a meeting, let's convene it quickly.

"Ross Duma" is a big long house. When Rurik officially issued the order to hold a meeting, the wise men of the entire Rosburg came one after another, almost filling up the empty and dusty buildings.

The noise of their conversation made it look like a hive, or a scene of wild bees dancing. Everyone has their own thoughts, and many words they hold back are eager to tell the prince.

Rurik came prepared for this meeting. As early as in Novgorod, he used a quill to write down one arrangement after another on hard paper.

In anticipation of everyone, Rurik and High Priest Rumia stepped into the house lit by the oil lamps.

The appearance of the two turned the already noisy house into a pot of boiling water.

People cheered, stomped their feet, beat their chests, or clapped, making all kinds of noises to vent their excitement.

With such a warm scene, Rurik could only watch them happily for a while with a smile.

There are a lot of benches in the slender long room, so that if there is a long meeting, the participants can do it leisurely and listen to the speakers. There are two rows of benches on the left and right, all against a wooden wall, and there is a central podium where Rurik will preach.

It is quite scientific to design a meeting place in this way, just like why a concert hall is made into a rectangle because of its excellent acoustics, the Ross Duma ordered by Rurik is a similar construction model in any Ross city. In fact, it is also like a teacher. Rurik can preach on the stage very freely, and he can also walk off the platform and talk while walking on the crosswalk in the center.

Each Viking tribe has its own parliamentary court. The Russian parliamentary court named "Ros Duma" is unique in structure and has its own in every major city, which is impossible for other tribes to do.

In the past, the Rus people could only dress themselves up with gray, white, black, and brown-gray leather. The love of beauty drove everyone to desire colorful clothes. In the past, they could not get it due to conditions, but now everyone is full of colorful clothes.

The technology of Slavs weaving floral cloth has spread,

The participants generally wore colorful cloth robes, wrapped in leather, and hung a lot of colored glass beads on their bodies, and even the velvet caps above their heads were also hung with glass beads and amber.

If such a person stood in a small city in the Franks, he would be regarded as a big tycoon by the locals, and he would even tempt the local lord to be malicious.

Seeing that the people in his hometown are so rich, his pride easily rushed to the top of Rurik's head, and he can proudly say that Ross can be today is entirely his own credit.

But he also saw that many old friends who were sitting were always gorgeous, and their decay could not be concealed.

The heroes of the past are getting old, but the heroes of the new era have not yet had plump feathers.

Ask yourself, it is obviously unwise to keep launching foreign wars under such circumstances.

This is why Rurik decided to start a crusade against the Karelians this year. His bottom line is that as long as the Karelians do not take the initiative to attack the principality’s northernmost stronghold in Lake Ladoga, Ross will Choose conservative defense.

He stood in front of everyone. It was a relatively warm climate, but the gathering of dozens of people in the house made the room heat up quickly. He took off his coat and showed himself in the image of only a long gown.

Half a year later, the prince is still the man with the flowing golden ponytail. The fourteen-year-old prince obviously has muscular arms, but his stature is still thin. The beard on his face is growing like his father's, and if he doesn't take care of it, it will soon turn into golden cheeks, just like the legendary beast "Rhine" that only exists in the far south.

Rurik stood here and let them judge. He is so confident that he thinks that the immigration project will also usher in a perfect result.

When the atmosphere finally settled down, Rurik unhurriedly opened the cloth bag and took out the dozens of papers with a lot of writing inside.

He can preach without the script, but he is afraid that there will be mistakes in his words, so it is obviously the best choice to write out important terms and read them out.

The manuscript of the lecture was placed directly on the desk, and he also sat on a square stool with his arms resting on the desk in a relaxed posture, as if the teacher was facing his students.

"Old friends from my hometown, please be quiet. How to celebrate happily until the night, I will invite you to drink ale, eat barbecue and eat bread, and now you must listen to my preaching on immigration work. Because this concerns yours. future!"

He was afraid that his words were not serious enough, so he deliberately repeated it three times. The so-called announcement today is not only the future of the principality, but also the future of everyone present.

When Rurik started to preach, everyone really straightened their backs and listened, listening to the key parts with joy or tension, and even a trace of regret.

On the stage, he easily observed everyone's emotions, and their expressions were probably within his estimation.

Is Ross a free country? Yes and no.

Anyone who joins the Ross can actually choose to leave, but the situation is completely other ordinary people of the Viking family, and they want to come in after learning about the real life of the Ross people.

^0^ Remember one second【】

Get in. No one will voluntarily give up their current life unless they make a mistake and are expelled.

Since they are in the community life of Ross, everyone must abide by this set of life rules of Ross.

Of course, Ross has a hierarchy. The princely family and the elite family in the past were the upper core of the principality in the tribal era.

Today, the population of Rus is expanding rapidly, but all the old Rus people from the Rus tribe are naturally arranged by Rurik.

Older women basically arranged the work of seamstresses, doing rough work of cloth and leather. There are also elderly women who do soap making jobs. Older men used to be tribal warriors. They should have died silently at home after getting older, or stubbornly came out and sacrificed themselves to the sea. Now Rurik employs them as official fishermen, as granary janitors, as good weapons repairers.

As for the children of Rothburn blood, their meals were entirely financed by Rurik.

And a large number of women who are married into Ross's prime age, they actually don't need much experience to raise their children, they also undertake the work that many men do, such as fishing, logging, mining, etc., for which they are issued by the prince. salary.

The inner circle of the Principality of Ross is like this. Women, children, young and old are all managed by a system. Rurik can guarantee that they will not starve to death or freeze to death, but wanting to suddenly become rich is an extravagant hope. Using taxation, low wages and other means, Rurik can make a lot of wealth, which is used for shipbuilding, construction, and especially rations for more than 3,000 children.

Rurik's coveted baby boom is still going on, it will give the principality a strong national strength in the future, and now the more than 3,000 gluttonous mouths are also straining the finances. The number of children will only increase further, not to mention his own clansmen, and to say that he is not a bull in April, once life becomes unprecedentedly stable, prosperous, and hopeful, desperately giving birth is inevitable.

After all, Roseburg is a narrow place, but for various reasons, the already overcrowded area is more crowded.

As the prince is here desperately squeezing those who have defected, it will not be a good thing in the long run!

All the Southern Confederate tribes have immigrated with their families and their families. Although they are not many in number, their enthusiasm for fertility is no less than that of the Rothburnians. Only the orphans whose children of the Rothmans have been defined by Rurik as "adoptees" can get free meals, and the natives also receive a stable source of income, which is a privilege not enjoyed by the later entrants.

In Rurik's view, there are no real slaves in the duchy, and he doesn't allow it. It's not because of his benevolence and selfishness, but because of Ross' current economic situation. Slavery is a waste of the economy. He is digging the corner of the king's power.

But there are actually "slaves" in the Principality.

The Vikings who came in, the Finns who were conquered, and even the Ilmenslavs who were conquered in the East, were all being economically exploited by Rosben, a group with a population of less than 10,000 people. Since the Principality is now rising at the speed of an arrow flying away from the string, wealth is being created at a high speed, and the life of the exploited is actually getting better than in the past, and the internal contradictions can be ignored.

Therefore, the residents of Rosebourne have reason to leave Roseburg, where they have lived for nearly eighty years, to settle in the Wonderful East.

Rurik's preaching made arrangements for the various groups and major affairs that existed in Rosberg.

First: Harrodsen will continue to serve as the governor of Roseburg, his mediocre eldest son has no right to succeed in the future, and the next governor is appointed as the young Kanuf. Rurik intends to cultivate this cub who is basically the same age as himself. In a few years, this kid will also have a bear-like physique. By then, Harrodsen will be old and dead, and the position of governor will still be in the hands of people he trusts. Rurik also emphasized that only the prince himself has the right to appoint the governorship, and any self-proclaimed governor is a traitor to the duchy. When the Great Migration opened, the Governor's Palace was relocated to the old palace.

Second: The Great Temple will be relocated, and all the statues will be moved to Novosirosburg at the mouth of the Neva River. Ross will build larger temples out of stone and hardwood, as well as forging larger statues of gods. In the temple, hundreds of people can gather to kneel and pray.

Third: All the ordinary residents of Rosbourne moved, took their belongings and children to the East, reunited with their husbands, and enjoyed their own farmland. All widows of deceased husbands also have the right to share their land in the name of the deceased husband. Any man over the age of fifteen was entitled to a piece of land, at the cost of having to leave his family. There is only one destination for this group of immigrants, that is, near Novgorod on the warm Lake Ilmen.

Fourth: Rosborne people who are engaged in leather processing business are entitled to a small arable land, but must immigrate to New Roseburg and build new leather processing workshops in the city. All guest craftsmen who are engaged in related industries and leather craftsmen from New Rus who have joined later can choose to immigrate to New Rosburg. Rurik recommends that everyone emigrate.

Fifth: The blacksmiths’ union, especially the Clavasson family, cannot immigrate to the East, because there are no mountains in the eastern world, and there is a lack of stones, so there is no ore. The future of Roseburg is to become a northern iron complex in the Principality of Ross, and it will use the local iron and copper mines to continuously produce ironware. Therefore, the supporting pottery workshops and charcoal-burning workshops will not be relocated.

Sixth: The shipbuilding group represented by the Hortra family cannot give up the shipbuilding workshop in Rosburg, but must send young people to build two shipbuilding semicolons in Novgorod and Novgorod, which is inland and facing the lake.

Seventh: The deer breeder group, as servants of the prince, continues to breed reindeer in Roseburg, and pays deer skins to the governor and the prince on a regular basis every year

^0^ Remember one second【】

For the sake of taxation, when there is a conscription order, people go out to fight for the prince.

Eighth: The great businessman Gould cannot immigrate to the East with his family. The Gould family is in charge of all the Principality's trade with the West, and is also the most important dealer in Russ ironware, glass, wine, and northern leather. Snow Leva, the white fox, inherited the main body of the big merchant family, and mainly traded with Sweden. The second son, Blue Fox, started the trade with Denmark and looked forward to a bright future.

These eight arrangements are the most important, and Rurik also made arrangements for many craftsmen, as well as a few others.

These arrangements are mostly agreed by everyone, and it is obvious that Gould has raised his mouth.

Gould was indeed getting old, and he even felt that his life was going to die soon, so he publicly asked Rurik, who was his close friend, in Ross Dumari: "Why can't my family run the trade in the East? This is inappropriate!"

Naturally, Rurik used that rhetoric to prevaricate. Ironware trafficking is an important means of making money for the Principality of Ross. The Gould family, who was ordered to monopolize this, made many small businessmen jealous. After all, this Gould was also a small businessman back then, but It was because he was brought up by the prince that he had his current status.

"I still can't figure it out. I'm dying of old age, and I still have many sons who are eligible to go to the East!"

Rurik's rare face sank: "Gould, I'll tell you clearly! You can't be too greedy! This is my order, you can't ask for too much!"

Gould was really stunned. In fact, he was not afraid of Rurik personally, but the military and political power tied to Rurik. He can only comfort himself, because the purpose of this big immigration project is almost a great benefit to the people of the Ross natives, and his essence is a guest resident. Even if he joins in early and is accepted, his essence is still "New Rus" .

If he only thought about it this time, Gould would not be worthy of being an old fox. In fact, he speculated that the root cause was because of that woman—Asuraqi Haraldot.

Because Ross cannot have a single dominant businessman, there needs to be multiple business families under the control of the royal family.

Gould chose to shut up, he would lose a large part of the leather trade income because of the big immigration project, and the Aslagi family would make a fortune because of the leather trade and other industries because of the relatives of the prince. He was really worried about his eldest son, Baihu, but considering his advanced age, the children's career should depend on them! At least the family can still control the iron trade privilege. After all, the prince clearly described that there is no iron ore in the east, and the business family in the east cannot naturally make money like this.

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
