It seems that anything that happens in Denmark in the south has nothing to do with the Principality of Rus.
No matter what happens to the blue fox, it will not interfere with the principality’s large-scale immigration project.
Rurik's time was very tight, but fortunately the weather and wind direction were favorable, and his large unladen fleet was able to return to his loyal home of Roseburg quickly and safely.
Many able-bodied people with their wives and children have immigrated to the East permanently, and a large number of people who stayed in their homeland are also eager to try. They have even packed up their belongings and are waiting to board the ship and leave.
When the first group of immigrants left as the ice thawed, the agitation of the rest turned the entire Roseburg into a boiling soup pot.
The prince's order is absolute, and residents of Rus' proper will have the right to leave by boat with all their wives and children on a voluntary basis. Ross's own people cheered for it, but those who joined later were more jealous than coveting the opportunity. Maybe the situation will get better and better, when the immigration of the old Russians is completed, and then the new Russians will leave.
Of course, there are some people who are engaged in very special industries and they are determined not to leave.
The fishing people were the first to see Rurik's large fleet continue to move northward with the help of the warm south wind, and the fishing boats acted as guides to guide the fleet into the harbor.
The Aurora, which has experienced many battles, looks like an old soldier covered in scars. The small damage visible to the naked eye shows that she has gone through many vicissitudes of life, and now she has returned to the place of her birth.
The wooden planks were built on the trestle, and Rurik was in high spirits, waving to the people gathered: "Praise your prince! I am back!"
The onlookers were all smiling and waving to welcome their heroes.
Those important figures who still stayed in their hometown of Roseburg stood in the most conspicuous place, especially Harold Zuosen, who wore a huge velvet hat and a white beard, and was the most emotional. After being appointed as the governor of Roseburg, he hurriedly approached his prince and stood on the trestle. He wanted to say something, but for a moment he was so excited that he was stunned.
"Do you have a thousand words?" Rurik asked with a smile. It's just a little heart-wrenching to see Harold Johnson, an old friend, aging.
"Yes...yes! A lot of things!"
"It doesn't matter! I just arrange three things when I come back! Immigration! Immigration! Still immigration! I will call all the heroes Let’s have a good chat in the Ross Duma.” The obviously old Haro Zuosen got the order and made way.
If there is one person in his hometown who worries Rurik the most, it is the high priest Rumia.
No, Rumia, wearing a deer-horned helmet, was also standing at the scene, accompanied by her personal little priest Lumi.
Her eyes shed tears, looking at her excited and sad face, Rurik boasted that he had indeed treated her badly in the past winter.
"It's time to comfort you. Well, Lumi is starting to look feminine..."
In the endTime passed, and Rurik saw the group of young warriors he had trained watching the news. They still wore robes of the same style and color, but every boy looked almost completely different on the surface. They have all grown up a lot, and their bodies are generally thin, but their height has generally caught up with adults. If this takes time, there will be hundreds of the most elite soldiers.
Everyone is fascinated by the romance between the prince and the high priest.
At that time, the young leader’s son protecting his first slave girl with a sword became a major topic of conversation among the people. After so many years, the son of the leader is now the king of the principality, and the slave girl is also the high priest of the principality. All of this is fate.
They hugged each other on the pier, and the people screamed for them.
The somewhat boring hometown of Roseburg has regained its vitality. Prince Rurik is back, and he will bring everyone new hope for the future. Although the old Russians do not know the specific date of immigration, the huge fleet is anchored at the dock. There is no war mission to expedition to others this year, and the only mission is immigration. They cheered all night today and were mentally prepared to immigrate in three days. Many old Russian families had already planned to sell their useless belongings at the open-air market at dawn tomorrow and exchange them for silver coins for use in the New Eastern World.
Rurik returned to his mansion in high spirits, and the two sisters Lumia and Lumi had already changed into casual clothes and followed him. Although some tribal women were ordered by Governor Harozolsen to be maids, Rurik rejected them one by one. Except for the elite mercenaries who lived in the old barracks outside, he and his two wives and concubines were the only three people in the huge three-story palace.
The oil lamps were lit one after another by Rumia. It was half a year later. When I saw my man again, he was even more majestic and majestic. Even though he was older, he had become a dwarf.
She gently put down the ignited oil lamp. Obviously she had something to do, and she slowly walked into her man, her prince.
In front of Rurik, the presence of Lumi, the legitimate daughter of the Salmon Lord tribe, who did not shy away from the existence of his little priest, maid and sister, lowered his Nordic elegance with a hint of apprehension. Robe...
"Rurik, brother, love me..."
"You! Okay! Okay...I owe you!"
Poor Rumi was like a light bulb. She watched helplessly as Prince Rurik carried the high priest Rumia into the bedroom like a princess. Because she is also a prince's woman, she is curious, eager and even a little jealous. How can Lumi, who has barely reached the traditional critical age, not want to become a woman at that moment? Because, this is not only because Lumi is a woman, but also because her tribe, which was almost destroyed, needs someone to save it.
"Since Carlotta saved her Ostara with her brave belly, I should follow suit."
Obviously this night belongs to the prince and the high priest. Rurik will not do anything to make Rumia sad at a critical moment.
Rumia was finally satisfied, lying on the leather blanket and breathing heavily: "Rurik, the next one will be... a son? We didn't succeed last time, we will definitely do it this time. ”
“Maybe. Whether he can succeed or not, whether he is a son or not, everything depends on Odin's will. "Rurik did it quietly. It would be most romantic if he could light a cigarette at this time.
"It must be my son. I feel that Odin has given me a revelation, and I...will give you a good war chief (general). "
"That would be great. That being the case, my son must have an appropriately good name. For example, kharlki. ”
“What a straightforward and good name. "
Fathers may be creative in naming their children, or they may be extremely uncreative. Rurik chose the latter this time. The so-called Helgi's original meaning is a simple and crude "pure man". Speaking of which, he remembered that his cousin's name had a similar spelling, and it roughly meant "pure man", and even included his own name "Rurik", which meant "reborn pure man", otherwise. Even though her father had two sons who died in infancy, he would not give himself such a name.
Rumia was satisfied, but she still missed her daughter mentally: "Vilika..."
“She is doing well and is being taken care of by her grandparents. She has learned to run over the past winter and her speech has become much clearer. ”
“That’s great, I really want to see her.” ”
“You’ll see me soon. ”
“Yes! But after we leave, the temple in the city will also have to be relocated. Is this really appropriate? "
"Are you worried? Rurik shrugged: "There is nothing wrong with it." I decided that I would build a larger one in New Roseburg, preferably of stone. I also need to build better statues of gods and recruit a group of young priests. Everything must be formalized so that everyone can feel solemn and solemn when they see the temple and the square. ”
“My heart is moved just by hearing you say it. "Rumia then got up and snuggled up to Rurik again: "But this will cost a lot of money. ”
“Oh? Are you actually worried about finances? "
Rumia nodded and added: "The people's prayers are accepted. In the six months since you were absent, a huge sum of money has been saved in my money box. The money is all yours and would be nice to use to build a new temple. ”
“There is still a huge amount of money? ! Rurik was moved. He never thought that the "incense donation" gift box he had made on a whim would actually become a treasure-gathering treasure? "How many are there?" ”
“There are nearly two hundred pounds of silver coins. "
"Huh? ! so much? How is this possible? Are my people so wealthy? "
Rumia burst into laughter, and she told the whole story without any disguise in front of her man. How could she get so much money for nothing? It was all about those statues.
In the Nordic world, no tribe has ever spent huge sums of money to make large gold-plated statues of gods. The Rus not only cast them,Six more were built in one go. Except for the Valkyrie Sperosvilya, whom the Russians believe in, the other five gods are all recognized as great gods. The gods are in charge of different affairs. The affairs controlled by these five gods basically cover all aspects of everyone's life.
Outside businessmen and local craftsmen were willing to give some money as gifts, and Rumia also invented a saying, the so-called "coins jingle, your prayers to the gods will be heard". reply".
Ordinary people will take out at most one silver coin to offer it during Hanukkah on the winter solstice, and then pray to the gods to bless everything for the next year.
Businessmen and craftsmen are the most demanding, because they also have to face many great sacrifices in their lives. There are businessmen here who do not hesitate to give half a pound or even a pound of huge sums of money as gifts, which are worth even more outrageous amounts. They all pray for the blessing of Frey, the god who governs business. However, most of these people are engaged in clothing processing related to leather and linen. They produce just-in-demand goods and sell them overseas. They have been Roseburg's key income-generating products since ancient times, and Rose Hunter has provided more and more kinds of leather in recent years. It is difficult for practitioners in related industries not to make money.
Businessmen and craftsmen generally do not think that this is because they are business wizards, or because of the dividends brought by the Roseburg platform. Their belief is very simple, that is, they are willing to believe that their prayers to God have an effect.
Therefore, the small temple in Roseburg's hometown has always been "constantly popular."
Rumia described it like this. The more he listened, the more Rurik wanted to laugh, but he was so excited inside. I never thought Rumia had some business acumen? Not just that! This woman serves as the high priest, and at least she is good at "making money". Fortunately, this is his woman, but it would be a bit dangerous to be another high priest.
The most expensive thing after immigration is to build new settlements and then solve the problem of sustainable development. Farming cannot be done this year, 835. The new immigrants should receive a batch of mature fields in the spring of next year and actively open up the land.
In the past 100 years, the residents of Ross proper have relied on marriage and blood to form a whole, but now the dispersion of Ross residents is inevitable. The concept of Rus has become very big. The social relations that relied on blood ties in the past will slowly dilute in the new world where Eastern Slavs are the majority. Then a new thing must be established as a common idea for everyone, such as architecture. A large temple was added to the new fire god named "Peron". From then on, Rus had seven gods.
Building a large temple will consume a lot of wealth. It is a truth that wonders spoil the country. Rurik really wants to carry out another large-scale urban construction in New Roseburg, and the cost is definitely not small. Rumia relied on accumulating wealth from donations, which was still too little compared with the funds to face the huge city construction needs.
Perhaps attacking a powerful enemy, defeating them with Ross's powerful army and seizing huge wealth, New Rossburg will become the pearl of the north in a short time.
"By doing business safely with the Danes, I can drain their wealth by relying on my dumping advantage. If the warIt's still inevitable, Blue Fox, it would be best if you could give me an excuse for war. ”
So how will Rurik wait until three months later? It’s just the end of May.
Rurik does need a lot of capital to build his own Ross. When his hematopoietic ability is not very good, war is of course a bad option, but if he gains profits through trade, it is a better option. Therefore, he has the intention to reconcile with Denmark, but it is not possible to reconcile. Yes, as long as Hedeby remains a free trade port, the Russians will continue to feed themselves on Danish flesh and blood.
Mia stayed up all night this night, and she squeezed her body for more than half a year. All the emotions were vented that night, which caused Rurik to stare until dawn. When the maid went to report to the prince on Harozolson's order, she saw that the prince and the high priest were still entangled and fast asleep. < /p>
Little Lumi woke up and stood up helplessly to go out. She was wearing a plain robe and her black hair was tied into a big ponytail. She stood upright and described to Harold Johnson who was waiting outside: "The Governor, the Prince and the High Priest. Still lingering, they are very tired and don't want anyone to disturb them. Anything you have to do with everyone may have to wait until tomorrow. ”
She is actually a bit maverick and arrogant. She dares to shout with the old guy Harold Zuosen because she is a Rurik woman. She also has self-awareness and knows that she must do her job well. It was not allowed to overstep her bounds, so after saying this, she returned to the small temple that needed to be taken care of.
The small temple would be demolished soon. When she came back, she felt a little regretful when she looked at the statue. Those who bring silver coins to offer gifts must also receive them with a business-like smile. When they hear the jingle of silver coins falling into the box, they must offer auspicious words.
Today's Harold Johnson is. In vain, he and his old friends thought that the prince would implement extremely high work efficiency and hold an elite meeting the second time he returned home. Obviously Rurik was indeed a real man and he could overcome Zhou Che. Lao Dun, he suddenly wilts in the tenderness of his beloved woman.
Everyone can understand this situation, and everyone laughed when they heard Xiao Lumi’s description. >A group of talented people gathered here this morning, including the governor Harold Johnson, the shipbuilding wizard Hotla and his close friend, the old blacksmith Klavasen and his four other old friends, immigrants from Mälaren. Heligel, the manager of the New Ross people, the deer farmer's representative, Ellenburg's representative in the Rossburg satellite town of Iron Furnace Town, the owner of the clothing workshop, Fordegen, and even the most important businessman Gould.
Rurik has grown into a generation of heroes. Now whoever says he has a childish face is just dazzled. Rurik has grown up, and the age spots on the faces of old guys have become more and more serious. The former soldiers. Now he is unable to pick up weapons, and the old blacksmith can't swing the sledgehammer he was proud of too many times. Gould's condition is not good recently. He occasionally has headaches and feels weak.
Everyone is mortal, everyone is thinking about it"Son of Odin" Rurik is doing things, and his souls after death will surely return to the wonderful Asgard.
The anxious gathering of everyone also reflects the will of the entire Roseburg people. Everyone hopes that Rurik will convene a conference immediately. Since he has done something important, it is not easy for everyone to force it. Harozolson made the final arrangements: "The prince and the high priest are together, just like Odin and Freya. Let them have a good rest, and we should go back and prepare each other, and prepare the things to be treated and discussed with the prince. We have to discuss and resolve them one by one."
Indeed, the old man Harold Johnson has some skills in handling government affairs. He was the loser in the competition for leadership in the old days. Now that the Ross country is prosperous and prosperous, he asserts that he would never be able to do it, but sticking to his hometown in Rossburg is something he is already familiar with. It was under his management that all economic activities in his hometown were as orderly as they had been in the past half century.
Hallo Zuosen was indeed a local official who thought Shoucheng was the best, but he was also old, even older than Otto.
