Chapter 859 The Stockholm Governor’s Palace is opened

The enthronement ceremony is completely over, and a thousand warriors are retained in Uppsala. This is a huge mouth.

They must start production operations, and at least they must be self-sufficient in terms of food.

The army will not withdraw. When the autumn grain trade in Sweden begins, these soldiers transform into porters.

Eight ships are equivalent to 1,600 pounds of silver coins. According to the price of one pound of silver to one thousand pounds of new oats, it is a huge wealth of 1.6 million pounds of new wheat.

Rurik made less money from this ship purchase transaction in a sense, because the market price of new wheat always dropped sharply during the harvest season, and even plummeted to the ridiculous level of one silver coin for seventeen pounds. .

Rurik could completely imagine the happiness of those great nobles. They got a big ship, and the payment for the goods was delivered at a high price without a large amount of dehydrated oatmeal. Everyone actually saved a lot of money.

So it is not necessarily true that Rurik suffered a complete loss. Mass-produced standard cargo ships are manufactured by three national shipyards. Each shipyard has two wooden docks, in which two hulls can be built at the same time.

With the current progress, there is no problem for each shipyard to launch eight ships a year. Because the craftsmanship is becoming more mature, the craftsmen are improving, and there are more and more apprentice workers. From a macro perspective, the Ross shipbuilding industry has great potential, and the cost is getting smaller and smaller when spread equally to each ship.

The total cost of a slender, brisk-moving standard cargo ship, excluding weapons and equipment, is less than one hundred pounds of silver coins.

The entire Russian fleet anchored in the inner lake of the Uppsala tribe began to move. Rurik wanted to leave temporarily with the army, so he specially talked with his Lumi.

Even though she has become a real woman, she still seems ignorant.

Caressing her face, Rurik thought of Rumia from many years ago.

Take a good look at this Lumi. At that time, she was the youngest daughter of the leader of the Salmon Lord tribe of the Covin people. It was an isolated tribe. There was a high probability that the lovely Lumi would not be able to see her for the rest of her life. I will leave the small forest and river, like a bird in a cage unaware of the vastness of the world.

Now, he is already the highest priest of the Uppsala Temple in the Kingdom of Rus

Her position is important but she is not very old. In any case, King Rurik is the only one in her life. Men, even the king has a large number of wives and concubines because he is the Supreme One.

I am afraid that I will not see the king again until next year. Maybe by that time, my child will be born.

She entertained her man for the last time in a woman's way, and used this intimate behavior to ensure that she would be a mother.

Lumi stayed here, wearing a deer-antlered helmet, a bear skin, and holding a new wooden staff inlaid with gems. Everything about her is imitating Rumia, the high priest of Rus, the woman who basically has the same name as herself.

Leading many newly recruited lower-level priestesses, she watched with complicated emotions as King Rurik led the main force of the fleet to sail along the river to Lake Malaren

she againHe is not a follower of the high priest, but the high priest with the highest status in Sweden. He guards the huge Uppsala temple and the sacred tree, and is protected by the entire Uppsala tribe.

"Is it true that you just threw Lumi over there?" Lumia stood at the bow of the ship, pulling Rurik's arm.

"It's cruel."

"Maybe this is her fate, that she is too lonely."

"This is fate." Rurik Light emphasis.

Rumia murmured "I also have some doubts about those Uppsala people, whether they support Lumi."

"They must support. Lumia" Rurik Subconsciously, he pinched Lumia's chin and pulled her into his arms, "You are like Lumia's biological sister. I can understand that you care about her. But she can't always be your deputy, our daughter Willy Ka is your real deputy. Putting Lumi in Uppsala will reduce the disputes, and she must be on her own."

When it comes to Velika, this is the soft spot in the high priest's heart. The king is right, Lumi must leave.

"I have not treated Lumi badly." Rurik continued, "Next year I will conquer Jotaland and conquer a brand new territory. At that time, we will also hold an expedition sacrifice, and the location can only be It's the Uppsala Temple. At that time, she will be the one to conduct the sacrifices."

"Oh, that's a good thing."

The king and the high priest are so close. Queen Svetlana was inevitably jealous. So what if she is a mother herself, with an adopted son Reglaf and a biological son Osborne Slav. Osborne was still an infant, and her thoughts were mostly focused on her child.

Different wives and concubines had unified but different attitudes towards the king. They all grew up to the age where they had to become mothers, and those who had not yet fulfilled their wishes were anxious to compete with each other.

They clung to King Rurik, praising him as a real man, and blurted out countless sweet words of love.

And the powerful Countess Nolen of Narvik Port declared that she must be the king's closest concubine during his final stay in Mälaren.

She got her wish, but the happiness of being favored should not be exclusive to a noble countess.

Nolen, who loves music, is a textbook young Viking noblewoman and the biological sister of the King of the British Viking Kingdom of York. She begins to look forward to the birth of her son.

Rurik once achieved major expedition results of "discovering the Arctic Ocean and establishing the Murmansk stronghold". Saipolava, the daughter of the leader of the Kovin Gray Squirrel tribe who was traveling with him at that time, had also grown up.

After surrendering, most of the Covin people were moved to the deepest part of the Gulf of Bothnia, guarding the huge chromite mines to build the northernmost and largest iron smelting center in Russia, and that city was used for salmon fishing. The city is also the largest trade node connected by land with the pan-Norwegian region. Saipolava's eldest son will inherit the position of Lord or Governor of Ironburg. Because of the mother's status, this child will not have a fief, but can only inherit the city.The Lord, from generation to generation is directly responsible to the royal family.

Seporava became a woman in the king's palace at the Gould Island fortress on the lake in the Kingdom of Rus.

A real man is most angry when others say "no", and a powerful king must set a manly example to his noble subjects.

He thought, anyway, it would be a while before the wheat harvest. He had a large group of wives, concubines, and children, and he was eating well and drinking spicy food every day. In his spare time, he might become a piece of fat. He completely understood why the Gould family was all fat.

He firmly believes that he has excellent physical fitness, and with the remaining power of the king ceremony, he favors the ten girls from White Tree Manor that his father selected for him eleven years ago. The ten girls Rurik worked hard for ten days, and they did what they expected. As a king, after experiencing this dream for more than ten days, what he really wanted was to sleep for two days to heal his weak body.

At this point, Ella, who is stranded in Novgorod and manages the historical documents of Russia, has not yet become a real woman. She won't wait any longer.

Rurik can think about how the troops stationed on the island will evaluate his king. Such glorious deeds of the king have already been rumored in Stockholm Port.

Ordinary life requires fun. Those things about men and women are the most talked about things that everyone likes to hear and talk about, not to mention that the hero of the story is the king.

Some people didn’t believe it at first, but now King Rurik’s nickname of “April Bull” has been confirmed.

All the wives and concubines were very satisfied, and old Otto was even more satisfied. As a past ruler, Otto did not bring great and unprecedented glory to Rus. As an old father, he almost always arranges his son's marriage issues himself, and the girls he personally selected all come to fruition after so many years.

Otto felt better again. He ate meat, drank wine and reminisced with his old friends in the Gould Island Fortress.

He sipped his wine glass and shouted about his achievements with his relatives and friends while drinking. He even scolded his eldest nephew, "Arik, you have to learn from your brother. Marrying two is too few. After all, you are also a duke. You can choose a good land to live a good life in the future. You only have one Asghar." "De, this is not good."

My uncle is acting like a drunkard, but when I think about what my uncle said, I feel really unhappy. He said, "My Peravina has another son, Kil. My children born to Aslaqi can't inherit any territory. I still love them deeply, and I really don't want to marry again."< /p>

"Absurd" In an emotional state, Otto smashed a glass and couldn't help but feel sad when he thought about his life.

The king named the old Duke Otto as the Supreme King. The king inherited the power of his father and was promoted to the king. Otto didn't think it mattered at all. He cried bitterly because his brother Ogier died too early.

After being comforted by everyone, his mood stabilized, and he took another sip of strong wine. With his whole body red, he touched a handful of tears and persuaded Arik, "Your father Ogier also hopes that you will die."I hope you will give him a large number of children. Go find some beautiful women quickly."

Before he finished speaking, Old Otto suddenly lay down and snored loudly.

Everyone has his own ambitions, and it is not easy for Arik to judge his own. Brother, my brother is not a lecher, but it is a fact that he has many wives and concubines. After many years, he has a smart Asraqi beside him to give advice, and he has become more and more aware of his role in the entire country. Status.

“You cannot and should not try to compare with your brother, he is the real king, you are not. Just do your duty as a warrior and chase your dreams. That's enough. "Aslaqi once advised.

What is a dream? Aric's biggest dream in his life is to become the number one berserker in Rus. He doesn't want to use his mind for calculations, he just wants to hold a weapon in his hand and bathe the enemy. Blood was shed on the battlefield.

This time King Rurik wanted to conquer Jotaland, and Arik, who had not fought for some years, was full of energy.

Rurik spent all his time taking care of him. Wives and concubines, after all, I was defeated by reality and had to eat more than ten roasted lamb kidneys, and then slept alone.

Although he became the king, facing the political ecology of Sweden, The cost-effective way to govern is to control the largest temple and the largest trading city. Various tasks have been arranged. Although there are no serious technocrats, there are still technical talents.

On Gould Island, the captain of the First Flag Team, Arik, organized hundreds of young soldiers brought over before the autumn harvest in Sweden.

The average age of the soldiers was only around fourteen years old. But when observed by local civilians, no one thought that they were really only fourteen years old.

The best training is to fight with each other with wooden sticks and wooden shields. If you are afraid of getting hurt, fight with bare hands.

No one was killed, and many children were beaten to death.

It was Ross who trained the boys in this way. It is an open secret that the so-called philosophy is to sweat more on weekdays and die less in battle. Although most tribes know that Ross is training young soldiers in this way, their own tribes really do not have the ability and dare not.

A very bad situation made other tribes worry about wound infection.

Ross used distilled alcohol to clean the wounds on a large scale and covered the wounds with a large amount of honey. These medical methods adapted to local conditions made the soldiers not afraid of injury at all, so the training period was brutal. It doesn't matter for a while.

Although it is training, guys of the same race are really easily provoked, and their attacks are becoming more and more severe.

A group of wolves will definitely fight among themselves. A group of ruthless people were killed. These children were all trained by Rurik. Although they were all very arrogant, they all wanted to escape.If you stand out and be used by the king, you will not only become a real man who is admired by others, but you will also gain certain power in the future.

They sometimes "combat training", sometimes learn navigation and fishing operations.

Although the logistics supplies can still support such an army, it would be too stupid to do nothing in the face of the huge Lake Malaren.

They were supposed to be standard cargo ships sold to subordinate tribes. Together with other large ships, these eight ships lowered their large nets and began trawling operations.

Some boats leave Lake Mälaren to fish for herring at the estuary. Part of the inner lake is used to fish for seabass and freshwater cod.

Lake Malaren is very huge, with a length of 100 kilometers from east to west. The population around the lake is only 50,000 including a large number of babies.

The aquatic products in the lake are actually very large. Ross's boat entered the waters that were unfamiliar to them, dropped the fishing net and went on a cruise. This kind of luck-based fishing harvest was not bad.

The food for the Russian army and auxiliary personnel has actually come to an end. As Vikings, we cut off the backbone and internal organs of the European seabass, and what is left in winter is basically two pieces of fresh fish, which is directly Swallow it into your stomach with a big mouth.

You can even transport a batch of fresh fish to the Ross Shop in Stockholm Port.

Birka was renamed Stockholm. It was originally the traditional control area of ​​the Mälaren tribe. Now it has been transformed into a de jure royal territory

In fact, there is a group of Mälaren people. Living in the old port of Birka, they almost all made a living by fishing and did not have their own farmland to grow wheat.

At least two thousand fishermen, men, women and children live in Birka. They live in simple shacks, which can be strengthened if they have the financial resources. Another group of people are busy with commercial activities. They also have their own land. Buying and selling supplies is another way of making money.

Stockholm is a free trade port. The ten-year tax exemption ordered by the king is the same for everyone in the port area.

The merchants and fishermen saw the king's fleet heading towards the port in a mighty manner, and dropped big anchors to select a large anchorage. The masts are like trees, and the ship is like hills.

To be fair, all the ships in the Ross fleet are not large. The largest ship only has a fully loaded displacement of 300 tons. Even so, it refreshed the public’s understanding.

The Malaren administrator in Stockholm was removed and replaced by the Great White Fox. His ancestral home is Onkras, he is now a Russian, and he is also a popular person in the king's court.

The city governor is the fat white fox. He controls Ross Shop and the largest wine shop in the city.

The transfer of power was very peaceful. Although when they heard that the king had returned to the city, a group of people fled, but when they learned that they had been exempted from taxes for ten years, more people rushed over. After all, in the past, ordinary people had no money to pay taxes and landed in the city to do business.

The city is expanding, and maintaining order is a problem facing White Fox. His solution is quite simple, because the cause of chaos is people, so he should solve people's problems.

Are there any gangsters in Stockholm? Of course there are.

The old patrols of the Mellaren people are retained. They swore allegiance to the king and were allowed to inherit their current status hereditary. The so-called patrol team is a security force that maintains order. In order to face the new situation, a group of mercenaries who were looking for employers in the city were recruited.

In fact, the businessmen doing business here all know who are the gangsters and who are the urban gangs. However, the businessmen are raising private soldiers, and the gangsters do not dare to attack the businessmen.

The existence of ruffians and gangsters has slandered the authority of the king, and we must take a heavy blow against these evil people.

At this moment, White Fox has the power in his hands. Thinking that his younger brother Blue Fox dared to fight with a sword in Heideby, Denmark, and that his younger brother has become a businessman who is good at fighting, how can he continue to be a naive fat seal

He has been authorized by Rurik to ensure a peaceful trade environment in the Stockholm port area. As for the means, that is the White Fox's own business.

Rurik is still sleeping soundly, and Stockholm Port is in trouble.

The king is here to kill people and establish his authority

After a surprise battle, the port police force lost some brothers, but in the end more than fifty gang members were arrested. There may be hidden villains, but the big villains are now kneeling on the sand of the execution ground.

Thousands of people gathered here to watch, including Duke Bjorn after his abdication. All the chiefs of the big families of the Melalen tribe came, and they came to see the king kill people and establish his authority.

The big fat white fox said in a rich voice, "When the king comes, there will be peace in Stockholm. When the king comes, there is nothing to be afraid of when doing business. When the king comes, you will do business honestly and tax-free for ten years."

These declarations were too useful for ordinary fishermen. When facing gangsters who were about to be executed, the fishermen spat and threw rotten fish and shrimps.

The mentality of the Mellaren nobles has also changed. The governor appointed by the king, White Fox, is not a greedy and evil person. He has always abided by the rules of the industry, but this time he became violent and strange. They did not object that those who were to be executed were evildoers. After all, in the past when Olegin was around, villains had to put their tail between their legs and be a good person. Only when they met the mediocre Bjorn did the villains emerge.

At least Olegin is here and will execute these villains with more extreme means.

The security forces were armed with double-edged logging axes and chopped off the heads of criminals one by one. Every slash was met with cheers from the crowd.

The evildoers have all been put to death, and the flags of Rus with white background and blue stripes are flying in Stockholm.

The death of the wicked seems to be a sacrificial flag, because right in front of the largest building of Ross Shop, a giant tree stands, a tall spruce becomes a flagpole, and a very wide Ross flag flutters in the wind.

This flag is of great significance, which means that the Stockholm Governor's Palace of the Rus' Kingdom has been opened. The Governor's Office is the Gould Island Fortress, which is now the king's palace.

The Ross shopping area in the city immediately became the government office and the residence of all the officers.

The white fox feels that heThe heavy blow stabilized the public order and shocked the whole city. The upcoming harvest season has established a stable and safe trading environment for oats, linen, and leather. ,Please remember:,Free fastest update No anti-theft No anti-theft
