The pier was lively and the visitors from the hometown finally completed the task within the agreed time.

I haven't seen Rurik for half a year, and the blacksmith Kawei has a thousand words here.

He got off the boat and walked over with a smile, and slapped the brother on the shoulder very casually: "You are a stronger man now. I heard that you are going to embark on a great immigration. The people in your hometown are really looking forward to it."

"Is that so?" Rurik was in a good mood: "I didn't expect you to come in person. Is Lilia also here."

"Here, she is still on the ship. I have a lot to say to you, about our iron production, etc. And so on. Also, look at these two big ships. Old Hotratto, I will bring you a message. , I want you to give good names to these two new ships."

"It will be resolved." Rurik gently pulled Kawei's hand away, and looked at the little fat blue fox with a surprised look: "You should go to Denmark, why are you here. Is it your Gould request?"

The blue fox covered his heart with a chubby hand and bowed softly: "That's it. My lord, the sled team appeared unbelievably a few days ago. We know a lot. Since you have a lot of leather to sell, this must be my task. ."

Blue Fox’s description coincides with Rurik’s idea. He slapped his thigh and praised: “Gould really understands me. Yes! I should ship a lot of squirrel skins now, and you will carry them directly to the ship. Denmark sell it to me. Haha, I don’t care about Mellaren’s market anymore. You will do better than your elder brother.”

A great opportunity lay before him. Blue Fox suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with hopes for the future, and he praised again and again: "The Danes need all kinds of leather, and we will make a fortune. It all depends on the prince. Wisdom. Oh, and the ability of our Ross brothers, no one is better at hunting than Ross."

The flattering came one after another to make people feel comfortable, Rurik shrugged and looked at the big ship: "These are the last two ships of my Eighty-Eight Fleet plan. The expedition was completed on the first seaworthiness? Is it time to take a formal meaning? name."

Although the name has some special meaning, Rurik is also slapped on the thigh this time, and the name seems a little hasty.

The eight Caravel-style sailboats of the same class are just big ships for people in this time and space. Ross's current material resources can completely build the Gothenburg-like large sailing ship that can sail around the world with a displacement of 1,000 tons, but the shipbuilder has not yet accumulated enough technology.

These eight ships are not yet qualified to carry huge names, and their narrow decks cannot afford them.

One of the two ships is called Vips and the other is called Bear Altar. Because when their hull was completed, the Ross army completed the conquest of the northern shore of Lake Ladoga. Although they did not destroy the Karelian forces in one fell swoop, the entire Lake Ladoga was already within Ross's sphere of influence. The two ships commemorate last year's action with this name, and also represent the two settlements.

The two ships did not only transport wheat, there were more than one hundred women, children, and passengers as well as a group of soft ships.

This time, Kawei was dragging her family. Lilia returned to her hometown. She also had to climb the net herself like everyone else, and her young son, Kuznetslav, was already climbing the net herself. This made the old Rigus who saw all this laugh from ear to ear, but his grandson has been full of power for several years.

The mercenaries who manipulated the sled returned by boat. They achieved great success and received huge rewards.

The more than one hundred women and children who disembarked are actually the family members of the First Banner Corps. It can be said that if the main force of the fleet is not in the east, the old Ross people from their hometowns will board the ship and emigrate with the soft, but a lot of wheat seeds are piled in the cabin. , The two ships cannot carry too many people.

Rurik entertained these distant guests in the Rusduma house in Novgorod.

He and Otto were so happy that they could not laugh from ear to ear, and the faces of the others were full of delight.

Kawei noticed that Arik, who was rowing back from the southeast, always exudes a faint earthy smell. Is this guy really farming? That's right, the prince's immigration plan is to organize everyone to plant the land, otherwise it would not force Spuyute to transport the wheat he got from Britain here.

No, even though Spuyute is an ordinary person in the tribe, he has been ordered to explore the world all over the world, and he has become a young explorer instead of a dusty explorer. His face is already full of experience. He was invited to sit here, listen to the big shots, and then wait for an opportunity to report his own experience.

Seeing the young people in his hometown, the old Otto became alive again. He slapped his thighs and sighed with emotion in an old voice: "If I wanted to come here for the first time that year, I would love this warm place. Unexpectedly, thirty years have passed and this place has become our home. I heard that, Eighty years ago, our Ross people were driven away by the guys on Lake Mälaren and had to hide in the fjord. The heroic spirits of our predecessors are in the sky, and they have witnessed our greatness. It’s great that you came here..."

The old leader was reminiscing about the past, and Kawei, Blue Fox and others were accompanied by smiling faces.

Most of the young people cannot really understand the aggrieved aggrievedness that the Rus people once carried. They focus on the future. In the past few years, what they have seen is the complete defeat of the Ruth army and the attack on the enemy by cutting melons and vegetables.

Otto was excited, considering the tragic years since the meeting, Rurik has listened to him for the time being.

The topic finally returned to the topic.

Otto said that when he was tired, Rurik continued to talk about that. He asked directly: "I let Harozov from my hometown do things, and things are obviously done. The fleet sent the wheat. Who is this voyage? Commander? Kawei, is it you? Or you? Blue Fox?"

While the two looked at each other, Spuyute raised his head: "My lord, I am the commander. I took the wheat last year and transported it back to the fjord, and now I am also transporting the wheat to Novgorod. Germany."

Taking a closer look at the young man who is no longer young, Rurik expressed his satisfaction.

"How much wheat did you bring?"

"Yes! I am about to report this to you truthfully."

Spuyute said in great detail that Northumbria reluctantly provided wheat because of the damage to agriculture caused by the destruction of the war, which was nearly 30 tons in total. Although the "order" is to ask the left-behind Governor Harrodsson not to sell wheat on behalf of the Duke, but once they taste the taste of wheat, people will alienate the oats. A batch of wheat is sold before the "order" arrives. Even if it is more expensive, the people in the hometown will give priority to buying it.

Rurik's "money bank" actually made a fortune, but now he prefers that the money still appears in the form of wheat grains.

There are still more than fifteen tons, nearly 40,000 Nordic Roman pounds of wheat arrived in Novgorod, they are kept intact in hemp pockets, and they are stacked neatly in the cabin for the time being.

Sipuyoute guarantees with honor that ice, snow and humidity have never infested these seeds. If they are used for sowing, they will germinate all the time.

Leurik listened with sincerity, the 40,000 pounds of wheat seeds did not meet his expectations, and the Northumbrians had actually breached the contract.

At least the situation is not terrible. He has no time to expedition and crusades and has been seriously injured by the Northumbrian, and he is full of his mind to plant the land immediately.

"Spute, many people say that you are the bravest explorer, I think this statement is worthy of the name!"

"No! You are the greatest." Sipuyoute hurriedly complimented.

"Of course I am the greatest, and I also admit your bravery. I want to grow wheat in Novgorod, and you have successfully transported a lot of seeds for me. With the experience I have now, these wheat grains are enough for sowing. Close to two hundred hectares of land."

The area of ​​the acres is too unfamiliar to Sipuyoute, so the prince said it should be a large area.

He took the opportunity to invite the credit and said bluntly: "My lord, I have paid so much, I should be able to get some generous rewards."

"Reward? Of course!" Rylik raised his head and asked with a smile: "What do you want? Land? A woman? Or money?"

"Let me give me a sum of money. I have women and children, but I am not good at and do not want to farm. Over the years, I have personally seen the vast world, maybe I can walk into the world, I am willing to explore, for Rose is also for myself."

The words were so magnificent that Rick didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while.

"Since you want money, how much do you need?"

"Just give me ten pounds of silver coins. I want to let my wife and children live a good life, I want to buy some new clothes and new weapons. Moreover, I want to own a big boat of my own. I know my thoughts are excessive. , So I will serve you wholeheartedly and explore the vast territory for Ross."

This guy's words went deep into Rick's mind, and he couldn't help wondering, does this guy want to be Drake? Not right!

It is normal for a swollen kingdom to hire some unofficial personnel to open up territory for the kingdom. Rurik remembers that in history, Ross hired Cossacks to explore the distance for the empire. Explorers did the dirty work, and the empire officially recognized and took over one by one in due course.

And that Dred, holding the privateer permit of the King of England to collect gold for himself, is also to collect gold for the king, upgrading from a robber to a nobleman.

Spuyute wants to be the royal pirate of the Duchy of Ross?

Do not! There is no need to do this in the Duchy of Ross at the moment

A very real problem lies in front of Rurik.

The Principality has expanded rapidly over the years, and now legal principles have progressed in substance to complete the rule of Lake Ilmen.

At present, the Principality directly controls a total of 12 large and small Slavic farms, and the Slavic population exceeds 20,000. In fact, the population of Novgorod is more than five times this, and it is reasonable to even boldly estimate that the population reaches 200,000. It is just that those people are hidden, and their farms are isolated islands in the dense forest. According to the existing information, those people There is very limited communication with the mainstream large farms around the lake.

Indeed, the farming economy of the Slavs is properly self-sufficient. A natural village tied by blood survives in the vast forest, forming an extremely stable and isolated system.

But Rose is here, and they must accept a new era and end their cramped life.

It is actually very easy to order them to surrender. After the spring ploughing, the original plan was to order Governor Medway to subdue them to the rule of Ross. It is a little troublesome to find them precisely.

Ross also ruled the whole of Finland legally, and Suomi's 30,000 or forty thousand people were actually in a state of autonomy. The upper-level rulers are appointed by Ross, and they are all servants of Ross.

At present, the population of the Duchy of Russ that can be directly ruled by the prince has reached 40,000.

This number seems to be very large, and the blond old Ruths purely from the Rus tribe account for only one-tenth of them. The North Germanic ancestry of the Russ has been irreversibly integrated into the Slavic and Finnish ancestry, and an astonishing number of children have been born continuously.

With a rapidly expanding land area and a small population, years of wars and the consumption of the old Russians, the Principality has reached the time when it must sit down and digest the results honestly. It is a strategy to become conservative unless the enemy personally enters the invasion.

Lurik did not explicitly respond to Spuyut's request, but mentioned that the economic reward must be generous.

The vast territory dilutes the population of Ross. Thanks to the fact that all the settlements are dependent on the waters and seas that are connected to each other, Ross has the First Baltic Navy, and the fleet can connect all regions to each other to avoid division. However, due to the high delay in the transmission of information about the wheat transportation this time, the bad results are still reflected in the wheat planting this year.

The most critical issue of this meeting was to talk about wheat seeds. When the past is over as the sun sets, starting from the next day, everything is not as important as farming.

Of course, Rurik still had something to discuss with Gould's second son, Blue Fox, and even arranged for him to complete some important tasks.

Nothing is as important as catching the tail of spring ploughing and planting wheat.

He set sail in the early morning of the next day, and directly floated at noon by boat to the planting and construction site of the First Banner Team, which is still busy in the Old Pine Needle Manor.

The young labor force of the old Ross people was ordered to arrive here, and the more than one hundred women and children who came with the ship would also disembark and reunite with the families of the First Banner Team.

Although there are some children in them, they are actually half the size of them. They are indeed young. They have been eating wheat and fish meat provided by Rurik for many years, and they have received military training, just like newborn calves. They should give priority to increasing strength. Used for sowing in cultivated land.

Kawei placed his wife and children with his father-in-law Rigus, and he was ambitious to manipulate the Quyuan Plow that he directly commanded the casting. He stood on the bow, shoulder to shoulder with Prince Rurik. Once young, he put on a big beard deliberately, even if he could sharpen a sharp knife to shave his whole body quickly. But the beauty of the long beard is here to affirm a promising man, this does not leave Rick, this kid is also growing his beard. This is something Kawei could not think of. How could this little saint who grew up looking at him, but only fourteen years old this year, is as tall as himself? What on earth did this kid grow up with? Sure enough, Odin has been continuously giving strength to promote growth? If this grows into a giant, it would be a bit bad.

The genes of northern European men are like this. Fourteen is a period of rapid physical development. As long as you eat well during this period, you will be able to grow taller.

This is reflected in Rurik, and even more so in the group of cubs in his hometown. A large group of seemingly weak boys and girls, in a few years, they have become tall and strong, this scene is really beyond the expectation of the old guys in their hometown. In fact, the reason is very simple. The children of the old Rus people of the Rus tribe have been thrown to the prince Rurik because the prince paid for the food. The children have been eating wheat and meat every day in recent years, and they are doing voluntary labor and Training, it's ridiculous to be thin and short like this.

Kawei looked into the distance: "The Pine Needle Manor no longer exists. I see fields everywhere here. Are they all ours?"

Rurik arrived in no time: "Most of them belonged to us, and part of them was given to the allies as trophies. By the way, I only allocated 500 hectares to the first banner team. Kawei, you have made countless Meritorious man I can give you some if you want land."

"Me? Are you joking or are you serious?!" Kawei looked embarrassed.

"Of course it's serious."

"That... forget it. I am a blacksmith and I believe in Thor. I would rather go further in the career of ironing than I would be lazy just because of farming."

"Oh? It's a wonderful description that farming makes men lazy."

There are some things that Kawei dared not say, that is, the so-called "being a farmer will deprive a soldier of the soul of a warrior", which changed the subject tactically. Seeing a settlement in the distance, he stretched out his hand and asked, "Where is a new city? Is it the second pine needle manor?"

"Of course not!" The wind was a little louder, and Rurik threw away his voice, "There is a river in the northeast, the locals call it Msti River. The First Banner Team wants to establish a new settlement near the river, called Ms. Kistad, according to the Slavs, is Mstisk!"

"A very easy name. Ah! I still like the fields here. They are much more beautiful than those on the banks of Lake Mälaren. Rurik, feel the warm lake breeze. I really hope to see the wheat waves here this fall. "

"Rest assured, your dream will come true."
