From tonight onwards, Rurik will leave Kamni here in the blacksmith shop.
After all, there is only one child, Kamne, and Klavasen will not mind having another little boy living in the family.
Rurik has decided to build another "servant dormitory", which will house all the blacksmith apprentices.
In the future, your servants should arrange different dormitories for them according to their occupations. This is a move that facilitates management.
With the accommodation problem solved in this way, and the meal problem, Rurik estimated that he could not continue the current situation of "treating guests to dinner in the open air". Including the more than 150 fellows of his own race, he had to build a serious canteen. There shouldn't be one canteen, there must be at least two.
Canteen No. 1 is where fellows of the same race eat. Canteen No. 2 is where the servants eat. Likewise, a formal kitchen also had to be built!
These problems can be easily solved with money. By the way, it can also help a group of men and women in the tribe who are old or in poor physical condition and provide them with a place where they can earn some silver coins and copper coins. Errands. Anyway, this group of people usually go to extremes in "energy conservation and emission reduction" and spend a lot of time waiting to die out of boredom, so they might as well organize themselves as much as possible.
The above great idea really makes Klavasen and Kawei happy.
Not only did they feel that Rurik's idea was very kind and just, they also saw business opportunities.
Because, Rurik's needs will inevitably force all kinds of craftsmen of the tribe, especially the carpenters, to keep building. They needed more tools and more nails, and as a blacksmith, they also had the opportunity to make money.
Although herrings are small, their meat is meat. Now, Klavasen does not think that making ordinary hammers is low value-added. Because he could instigate those guys to increase the price, and according to the contract, wrought iron was not steel, so he did not need to pay Rurik 10% of the profit.
Finally, Rurik has a special need.
"Klavasen, Rumia and I are going back. Let me assign you another task."
"Okay, my little master. If I It can be done, I will do it immediately."
"It's a very simple thing," Rurik said, "I want to make some sterling silver plates with Roman inscriptions on them. Letter."
"Huh? What's the special arrangement?"
"Of course. They are not as noble as my Rumia." Maid. I have decided that my maid needs a name tag."
"Just like you gave each deer a name tag?" Klavasen asked with a smile.
"Well...that's more or less it. You know those Roman letters, please just engrave the letters one by one in the order I compiled. I need ten, melt three silver coins for each nameplate, and finally Engraved with letters."
"That's all.Are these enough? ”
“Then add more materials. Rurik held his chin in thought, patted his thigh and said, "The carved inscriptions are inlaid with gold." All we need to do is melt a gold coin. You use these materials first. I will hand over the money to you tomorrow and then give you ten silver coins as labor fee. What do you think? ”
“You. "Klavason shook his head with satisfaction: "You really have a lot of money, and you spend money lavishly. I understand everything. You don’t need to pay me, I will do it for you now. Come and pick up the goods early tomorrow morning. ”
“That’ll be hard work. "
Rurik did not linger any longer. It was getting late, so he should go home immediately and have a good chat with his father who had returned.
Maybe his father had already left the longhouse of the priest. After giving the group of decadent guys a lesson, it was time to talk to him about the bad things about the priests that made him angry.
Night finally fell, and a bonfire was lit on the beach.
p>
The tribesmen who distributed the supplies only took their own share. No, if Laokawei had not gone to get it himself, the tribesmen would have worked together to bring his share back to the blacksmith shop at night. < /p>
Of course these people not only helped Kawei move things out of friendship, they came and handed over the money for the steel sword they bought on credit. Of course, they couldn't get the cash, so they used the materials they received. To pay off the debt.
Compared with silver, both Klavasen and Kawei were short of money, so they accepted each other’s request of wheat to pay off the debt.
It was late at night, and Rurik’s. The mood was really good.
His Lumia followed closely behind, and the girl was also thinking about her future.
That night, the lights were brightly lit from house to house in Roseburg. The big leader returned in triumph, a group of beautiful Novgorod women were married into the tribe, and a lot of wealth poured into Rossburg. Life is getting better day by day.
Tonight is nothing. During the festival, the tribesmen were partying all night long.
The tribesmen also quickly learned that the tribe’s collective wedding would be held at the Shichuan altar tomorrow evening.
Liuli. Before Ke returned home, Otto had just returned.
After finally returning to his hometown, Otto was in a complicated mood.
“Are you a little depressed? "Niya, who had cooked the wheat porridge, enthusiastically served a hot bowl.
She even used the craft ale she bought from foreign merchants, pouring the dark yellow liquid into the delicate The glass was placed in front of the dusty husband.
When he saw the glass, Otto suddenly perked up.
He raised his head and stared at the transparent cup. I was speechless for a long time.
“Are you stupid? It's just a crystal cup. "Niya sneered.
"Crystal cup, our family...how come we have this? wrong! Otto slapped his thigh: "I was at the priest's place, and I found that all the priests had this." Even our high priest, there are more refined ones. What's going on? Those businessmen are also thereSales? ”
Niya felt secretly happy, and she deliberately kept her secret: “Do you think those businessmen are really so capable? "
"Not them? "
"It's your son! "
" Rurik? ! "Otto was surprised at first, and then he felt relieved quickly. He tugged at his beard: "It seems that he has done a lot of things in the three months since I was away. ”
My son has indeed done many incredible things. Niya has not seen her husband for a long time, and she wants to tell him everything she has seen and heard in three months.
Niya sat close to the low
Otto, he gradually learned everything
Including making a fortune by making glassware. Ke Tiantian's decision to entertain those brothers, including Rurik, prompted the entire tribe to start a large-scale construction project. Of course, what she was most happy to talk about was the tribe's victory in revenge against the Gotlanders.
She was talking. Rurik, Rurik came back suddenly.
After hearing what his wife said, Otto's eyes changed when he saw his son again.
The rough big hands greeted warmly: "My child, you are really amazing. Come on, sit down with me. "
Rurik nodded, he estimated that this old guy is now his only son. An old father guarding a single seedling, can't he be too intimate?
Rurik realized what was going on and walked over, and was grabbed into Otto's arms. Then, his bearded face looked at his childish smiling face with an affectionate expression.
So affectionate. In this scene, Rumia, who was feeling complicated, was about to sit in the corner and return to her sleeping place as usual.
For a moment, Otto noticed this girl.
"Rumia, come here! ”
Rumia shivered vigilantly. Even now, she is still very afraid of this tribal chief.
She approached the square table with anxiety.
Otto held Rurik like an orange cat for a while, but now he let the cat go. He looked at the hot porridge in front of him, pushed it directly to Rumia, and then changed his tone gently. His tone: “Eat, Rumia. This is your reward. "
Seeing this, Rurik and Niya were shocked.
The person involved, Rumia, was even more surprised: "The big leader...I..."
"Eat, my child. Eat more. "
"I..." Rumia was even more at a loss when she heard the leader of the Rus say such affectionate words.
Even Rurik didn't know that her father was doing this. What's the matter? He was happy to see his father being so affectionate to his appointed head maid.
Niya sneered: "I didn't expect you to be so gentle to a servant. After all, she is a servant, not your daughter. "
"Is that so? "Otto faced his wife with a patient look on his face.An intriguing smile: "Things have become different."
"Why are they different? A servant is a servant. Of course you can be nicer to her, and I'm glad you do."
"No. Rumia is different." Otto drank the glass of finely brewed ale and burped deeply. "I know a lot of things from the high priest! Rumia, don't be nervous. Since the high priest doesn't treat you as an outsider, I won't either."
Rumia opened her eyes wide. It’s hard to say anything at the moment.
Rurik hurriedly asked: "Dad, did the high priest tell you something? For example, about Rumia."
"Of course." Otto's His big hands covered his son's head and caressed his golden, smooth hair. "You are my successor. Now, the high priest is still doing a lot of things for you. Now there is another important thing."
At this point, Otto sighed deeply and said seriously : "That Bona is dead."
"What?!" Rurik was startled.
Even Niya is asking: "What did you say? Poona is dead?"
"Yes, dead."
Father will not be there There is no motive for lying on this kind of issue. Rurik was already angry with Bona, and as for his cousin Arik, he wanted to kill the trespasser.
"Bona, did she drink too much and die?" Rurik asked tentatively, "Dad, you may not know that those priests drank almost all night, and they were guilty."< /p>
"Yes! So I executed Poona. That woman mistakenly believed that she could be above the leader and yearned for greater power. As a result, she indulged in drinking every day. So she died."< /p>
"Dad, could it be that you gave her..." Rurik felt for a moment as if a huge boulder was pressed against his ribs, making him almost unable to breathe.
"It's been taken care of." As he said that, Otto stared at the overwhelmed Rumia: "Child, I know what the high priest expects of you. Now remember it for me. ! You are Rurik's servant at all times. Remember, only by following your master can you receive a steady stream of favors! How do you think Bona died? Something, so she died. Do you understand?”
Rumia nodded tremblingly.
Otto continued: "The high priest has great expectations for you. She does not treat you as an outsider, and I will not treat you as an outsider now. I can treat you as my daughter. You always remember, Any disloyalty will lead to death. My daughter, eat the wheat porridge.”
At this moment, a sense of sourness suddenly irritated her nose and connected to her eyes. She was suddenly possessed by Stockholm Syndrome. Looking at the old man with a beard in front of her, the feeling of fear she once felt had been eliminated a lot.
She picked up the wooden spoon and replied weakly "fadere"" is an honorific term for "father".
And her performance was regarded by Otto as a symbol of loyalty.
The family gathered together, and now Otto could ask He knew everything that had happened to his son in the past three months.
The wheat porridge cooked by Niya was completely eaten by the family of four, and Otto drank two large glasses of ale. On the contrary, he was full of energy and his tone of voice was even more enthusiastic.
“Rurik! You brat is so generous, you actually entertained those brothers of yours. Did you know? When I was young, I thought about eating barbecue with my brothers, but we were all very poor at that time and could only do it occasionally. Now that you are rich, you actually entertain them every day. You are very generous, but where is your capital? Show me your money. ”
“Okay. "Rurik also wanted to show off to his parents.
Rurik immediately lay on the ground and invited his servant Rumia from the clutter of the other side of his family home. They worked together to pull out three suitcases in succession.
Unlike the boxes that contained his belongings before, these three suitcases belonged to Rurik.
He opened the lock and came into view. What Otto saw were three boxes of silver coins shining under the oil lamp.
Otto was shocked: "I heard that you made ten thousand silver coins? "
"No! There are almost 20,000 coins. "
In this situation, thinking about his father's resentment towards those drunken priests, Rurik had no scruples. He once again explained that he could mass-produce glassware and would use the priests to Their greed and the search for their huge wealth were clearly explained.
Now, Otto finally understood. Hallo Zuosen and his eldest nephew led a group of brothers to fight. In order to win the battle, they looted nearly 200,000 silver coins, 130,000 of which were distributed to the returning warriors and priests. Rurik and the blacksmith took away at least 20,000 silver coins! .
The soldiers went through life and death, but their son was able to enjoy the benefits.
Of course he was happy. Even now, Otto was deeply shocked. .
In less than a year, his son has made so much money. In the foreseeable future, his son will become richer and richer.
Otto's hands greedily touched his son. Money, sighing: "Rurik, it seems you don't need me, you have become very rich. "
"Dad, is this a compliment? ”
“Yes. My wealth will be inherited by you, maybe you don't need my money that much. Now you close the box and I'll tell you something important about money. ”
Otto asked Rurik to sit down obediently. Now that he saw clearly the huge wealth accumulated by his son, he must give him some life experience, so as to save him from possible mistakes in the future.
"
