The Principality of Ross has always been guarded by the northern border, so New Ross Fort has always been placed with a mobile force.

The Principality still adheres to the ancient principles, especially the people from various Viking tribes. Once a foreign enemy enters the bandit, both men and women are obliged to take up arms to defend against the enemy.

In 836, after the Great Winter Solstice, Rurik himself returned to his loyal Novgorod, where he carried out another of his plans.

He became the greatest teacher, teaching some basic math to the boys of the Sixth Banner, and further explaining how to interpret Latin, Norse, and even Slavic using the Latin alphabet.

On the other hand, a "literacy campaign" is also underway.

The object of education is all subjects. No monarch can expect to make the pure illiterate people full of wisdom in just a few months. All Rurik has to do is teach the people how to spell phrases.

The origin of the Western alphabet system comes from the handwriting of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. It was transformed by the Phoenicians into a phonetic alphabet, and then transformed into a very mature alphabet for Rome.

Rurik made it more advanced, adding some new letters on the basis of the inherent Latin alphabet, especially the expansion of V into UWV three.

Paper mills in Novgorod have become more and more mature, and Rurik has hired more idle women as female workers on the basis of the past. Even in the cold winter, up to 200 people work in relatively warm houses. They are divided into many groups, and a series of paper-making processes are also completed in the houses, which are isolated from the cold outdoor environment.

Rurik didn't pay anything, but made a simple promise: to manage two meals a day, equivalent to a pound of oats.

He fulfilled his promise, made certain performance arrangements for the female workers, and even offered incentives. The so-called over-completed task after completing the task within the time limit has an equal bonus, and the prize is wheat.

They were working hard for the bonus, which forced the loggers to provide more bark, and the men who cooked the bark had to work hard.

Today's paper is not all rough birch paper. The key to fine paper is the source of cellulose. A large number of lakeside reeds in autumn are good ingredients for feeding reindeer, and now they are also added to paper making. Some rotten flax rods, rags and broken hemp ropes that are really useless are all turned into pulp.

A very special and extremely delicate paper was born, it is yellowish brown throughout and feels extremely comfortable to the touch. It even has the texture of rice paper, and it is obviously inappropriate to write on it. Its use is actually a tool for wiping buttocks and a tool for wives and concubines to deal with personal problems.

Getting the public to be familiar with and accustomed to toilet paper wiping is first and foremost a conceptual issue, followed by a supply of toilet paper.

Rurik simply set up a "paper factory" in Novgorod. It became a completely state-owned handicraft workshop. The employees were almost all women from White Tree Manor. At this stage, the remuneration was only for the management of meals and a small amount of bonuses. of wheat.

Even so, a portion of the Principality's suppressed productivity exploded.

Rough and hard birch-bark and pine-bark papers were used for writing, and those who were instructed to teach the people how to spell the alphabet did so with hard-paper instruments.

A large number of people's data and field data recorded on cardboard have been transferred to the Hermitage in New Roseburg and stored in boxes.

The paper currently produced has met the official needs of the Principality, and the next step is to promote the use of paper in the private sector.

Stacked paper is sold for a pound of oats on a nearly 1-square-meter sheet of hard paper, which in fairness is more expensive.

As for the toilet paper to wipe the buttocks, the price is based on the weight dose, which is higher than the former.

The supply of the two is temporarily limited, but the weekly output is increasing. At the moment when the technology is mature, there are 250 people engaged in this work. The workers try to increase their work for the sake of profit.

Therefore, the average daily production of rough paper has reached the level of about 1000 square meters.

There is simply not enough consumer market in the Principality of Rus to eat 30,000 square meters of cardboard a month, and most of the cardboard is in Rurik's warehouse.

"Maybe at some point, I'll have to sell some of it at a low price. For example, sell Aslaki to use paper as wrapping paper for biscuits and bread? Also expand toilet paper production so they can't live without it!"

Rurik was stockpiling paper and made some adjustments to the allocation of paper capacity.

In late January, a batch of what could be described as a very vulgar document was posted at a public threshing floor in the city of Novgorod. Several sheets of paper with the same content written in Norse and Slavic were glued to the wooden board with loose glue, and people in thick clothes came over to make a bang, and everyone who understood the content was laughing, and the laughter attracted more. crowd of people.

Because the people's winter life is generally too monotonous, or the life is full of boredom every year. They need some jokes, especially some meaty jokes, to give a strong thrill to the boring life.

Rurik officially did this. He wrote large and eye-catching words on the paper himself, focusing on several parts of the human being, and vigorously promoted that toilet paper could easily wipe off the filth on it in winter, so as to avoid becoming a man. The presence of stench.

"What's so funny about them? Ah, maybe they just laughed too low."

Rurik noticed this, so the bulletin board in the threshing floor should be used further! "Maybe it's time to find some jokers to compile some joke collections and publish them, which will help them learn how to use letters to spell and make it easier for me to issue decrees in the future."

His method was effective on the same day, and the fingers that were sold publicly were used up. But Rurik also knew that the current spending power of the Novgorods was very low. The real rich consumers were Sweden and Denmark, and the real super customers were the Eastern Roman Empire.

What Rurik cared about most was the liveliness of people gathered at the threshing ground to watch the "toilet paper advertisement" on the bulletin board. It turned out that they had a huge demand for fresh information.

That is to say, they need books.

Wood type printing or woodblock printing, the prerequisite material conditions for these technologies have all been met, and Rurik has already begun to act.

He began to do one thing with his wives and concubines in the quiet night: compiling the historical materials kept by the Rus.

The information wooden board organized and preserved by the great priest Veria records all the trivial information of the Rus people in the past. Although the information has been copied on paper, it still needs a lot of polishing if it is compiled into "Russ Tribal History". It is precisely in the aspect of polishing that particularly tests the wisdom of the monarch.

There are three groups of rulers of the Rus Principality, Vikings, Slavs and Pan-Finns. They have different primitive beliefs and have different perceptions of the past days. To integrate everyone into the same nation, we need to shape our common memory!

Rurik is writing the book in his own hand, and its spiritual core is to describe that the three ethnic groups are originally a family, and all have a common ancestor, just like the brothers of a family are scattered, and the descendants gradually forget that they are one family. People, now a strong man raises his arm, and all the separated families reunite.

Rurik is emphasizing that he is indeed a man favored and blessed by the god-king Odin, and also describes the legality and obligation of Rurik and his descendants to rule. Its greatest obligation is to ensure the stability of the lives of its subjects, and it also stipulates the basic obligations of the subjects of the principality. Then this book has the nature of the constitution of the duchy, and Rurik also intends to formally compile and publish the written code of the duchy.

A unified nation must have a common memory, a common belief, and must abide by the same set of the most basic rules of life.

The three ethnic groups do have a common memory, which is war.

Five articles were written by Rurik in a surprise attack, namely: "The War of Gotland", "The War of the East", "The War of the Rebellion", "The War of the Expedition to Britain" and "The Crusade of Karelia" War Chronicles".

What Rurik did was just a concise description of the war, to highlight his wisdom as a war commander, to emphasize that the victory of Rus came from the strength of the warriors of Ross, and also to emphasize that the soldiers of all ethnic groups in the principality changed as much as they joined the Rus army. be very powerful.

For the time being, the articles are just handwritten and posted on the bulletin board in the square. In the future, they will be the historical documents of the Principality, and will be widely printed and distributed throughout the country.

It is necessary to compile the history books, statutory laws, basic mathematics education books, literacy books, etc. of the Principality of Rus, and finally use movable type printing to print them. This is an ambitious plan, not one that Rurik can accomplish overnight with his wives and concubines, but a gradual process that will eventually be completed in a few years.

Based on such realistic factors, Rurik subjectively had a certain war-weariness. War is naturally a means of resolving disputes, and with the characteristics of the current era, European social warfare is indeed a priority means.

Rurik knew that wars would always come uninvited, even bizarre. For example, he was secretly doing business in Denmark instead of being besieged by the mortal enemy Danes, but was beaten by the guys from Frank.

Now, new troubles always come uninvited, and Rurik is ready to fight back.

Of course, he is still making another preparation, which is to equip the "Royal Pirate" like Speuter with as powerful weapons as possible, especially more torsion slingshots, and to install the bulbous bow of the "Salmon Chief" Stronger bronze ram.

The time is already February, and northern and northeastern Europe are still covered in snow. The average ice layer of Lake Ladoga is still about 30cm thick, which is not difficult for the madmen who are chiseling ice and fishing in the fishing village of Ladoga.

There is a group of people camping on the ice near the lake shore, and now they are not only the Rus, but also the surrendered Veps.

In the past 835 years, Telavis, the Count of Vepsalava, not only became a father, but also brought his own people to quickly catch up with the technological level of the Rus. Telavis personally sees his territory and people as another way of revival of the Grey Squirrel tribe, he is indeed loved by the people, and the biggest reason is that the people's lives have been greatly improved, they have begun Winter ice fishing like never before. It was while fishing that they encountered a sled team fleeing from the north.

Iron tools are rapidly replacing stone tools in Ruth's eastern holdings, along with reindeer sleigh armies and huge fleets. By now, the people who once feared these behemoths had become so accustomed to them that they even got involved in creating even more outrageous things.

For example, weapons...

Varyag hunters have unique bear hunting skills, that is, the torsion slingshot is installed on the reindeer sled, and the aider drives the deer.

Polar bears do not hibernate, and at this time their range was so far south that Ross hunters could hunt bears near Lake Ladoga. Bear hunting on a sleigh is really a winter feature. When the snow melts in the spring, the ground is muddy, and the hibernating brown bears come out, but the hunters cannot hunt efficiently.

The principality needs a lot of weapons, and the torsion slingshot is a panacea. The principle is to rely on the torsion of the rope, so it is no problem to make a lot of "monkey version" weapons.

The local Slav carpenters found a job, and they made torsion slingshots made of wood hemp at Rurik's order when winter came. It is required that two people can move and operate it, and can shoot half-pound arrows to a distance of 150stika (147m). This thing is really a marine weapon in terms of positioning. Since the shipbuilding workshop in Novgorod is already building a factory, new ships must have self-defense weapons, no matter how big or small. In a time when artillery didn't exist, there was nothing more reliable than a torsion slingshot.

The sleigh team from Bear Festival Town in the north of Ladoga first contacted the fishermen on the south bank of the lake. They heard the identity of the other party and then revealed the situation in the north, and even asked where the prince was. After learning that the prince was not in the capital or Novgorod, the fleeing team continued to sprint south, dashing on the frozen Volkhov River, and arrived at the bustling Novgorod. Another detachment ran wild on the frozen Neva, just to reach Novo Roseburg and inform the First Flag Team, who were mainly there to hunt squirrels, about the war.

The reindeer pulling the sled was exhausted, and even a deer collapsed to the ground when they stopped.

Women and children jumped off the sleigh, and they shouted that Bear Ritual was attacked.

The war alert spread all over Novgorod immediately, and the news soon reached Mstissk.

Rurik was informed of the war warning and immediately issued an order to gather the army, but it took a little time.

He was forced to wait a day, and the next day to convene a military conference in Rosdumany, Novgorod.

Which of the people present is not the elite of the Principality? Their faces were slender and furry, with swords glowing with cold light hanging from their waists, and their expressions were both serious and excited.

Everyone was looking at the prince's face, waiting for the order of war.

Rurik has already thought of countermeasures for this: "I have learned from those who have escaped that there are still more than 200 soldiers holding the fortress. The Karelians have launched a counterattack. There are many of them, and the decisive battle we are looking forward to has arrived. ."

People were looking forward to the prince's order to assemble a huge army and have a complete decisive battle with the enemy. However, the reality determined that the Principality did not have the ability to quickly assemble a large army to fight against the country.

"The second flag team, the sixth flag team, and the Slavic flag team are assembled. Add my mercenary guards, organize a group of volunteers, and order some Boyars to send troops to participate. I will assemble an army of 1,500 people to set off. We'll give you three days to prepare, and we'll head north in a sleigh army with as many torsion slingshots as we can. We're going to reinforce those left behind and do everything we can to find a decisive battle. Kill the enemy like a bear hunt."

Everyone was happy with this order. This battle was the first time in history that the Slavs were the main force. Medway especially mentioned how happy he was.

This is the man who made great achievements in arresting people in the forest last year. He stood up and patted his chest to show his loyalty to the prince: "My people are like brave Varyag warriors in every way, and I will kill them with them. The enemy has done a great job."

Medvedt said it was a fact, the warriors and his men are all strong now, that is, they are still shorter than the traditional Viking strong men. The short stature and body immediately have a huge tactical advantage. This kind of personnel is most suitable for compiling the hedgehog array to form a halberd phalanx to stab the enemy to death, because their lower plate is too stable.

Many bear hunters need time to return, and of course the squirrel catchers withdrew. War means opportunity. There are messengers driving a sleigh to report to the nearest Slavic farm. No, the calf farm Boyarvsky and the fisherman's farm Boyartori, which are closer to Novgorod, they got the news. Immediate action was taken, and each selected fifty of the strongest men from the small farms and headed north on reindeer sleighs.

The Principality of Rus is gathering a large army, I don't know if it is Novgorod, the same thing is happening in Novgorod.

The first flag team that catches squirrels will take the leather back to New Roseburg to sell, and those who have to run far away will go straight to Kaiki Salmi of the Vips to rest. The people of the first flag team have heard the news of the attack on Xiongji Town in different regions. Everyone is in different geographical spaces, and they all understand that the kingdom cannot sit idly by.

Arik issued an order to assemble the first flag team in New Roseburg. Although only more than 200 people had assembled, it was almost done. In fact, among the Veps, there were more than 100 First Banner soldiers mixed with more than 30 local Veps soldiers. They were reckless, and Telavis also wanted to get rescues in the duchy. honor.

While Rurik was actively gathering, the 1st Support Army of the Principality of Rus, plus 150 reinforcements from the Kaiki Salmi side of Vips, including the sleigh master, planted the Principality's flag on the sleigh. North to North.
