   Otto made an agreement with the great merchant Gould. He told his son Rurik about the matter, and he also informed the priests about the huge order of soap.

   To produce a thousand bars of soap before the sea ice melts, according to the agreement, the priests will receive 800 silver coins among them.

The one who earns the most here is Rülik himself. The large merchant’s order cost is four thousand silver coins. He Rülik himself does not need to provide any production costs and labor costs, just because he provides the so-called "wisdom from Odin". He got 80% of the wealth from the simple priests, that is, as many as 3,200 silver coins.

   The matter is not over yet.

  Lurik and the blacksmith Clavasson even signed an agreement. Although this agreement is far less violent than soap, each steel sword earns five or six silver coins, which is also a large sum of money.

   Since Otto brought a dozen elites of the tribe to make an appointment with Gould, a whole month has passed.

   Within thirty days, great changes have taken place within the Ross tribe.

  Lurik, his own small wooden box can no longer carry the swarming silver coins. He must replace it with a larger box and a larger lock.

  It is very interesting to say, he got both the box and the lock, because these are gifts from the big merchants.

   And Lurik himself quickly saw the true portrayal of the “Swedish big rich businessman” in this time and space.

   Thirty days, neatly piled yellow-white sulfur soaps, which emit a special smell, are neatly stacked in an independent dry and constant temperature hut.

   By the end of March in the Julian calendar, the time was ripe, Otto personally took his son and brought Gould into the room, who had come here especially.

   That is a lot of yellow-white solid matter! They exude a stinky smell, like the very neatly beaten stone bricks for building a stone house, which are extremely neatly piled.

   Otto is very proud to introduce: "As you can see, they are one thousand or two hundred yuan. As long as you continue to wait, there are more to be made."

   "Wow, there are so many, I thought you all..."

   "Doubt our strength?" Otto deliberately showed off, "We are as strong as the Ankras tribe where you belong, we are very capable."

"No! You are really strong. Maybe even stronger than the Mellaren tribe, you know, great leader, you have earned 3,600 silver coins from me because of these yellow and white soaps!" Goul De's words bluntly expressed praise.

   Then, the well-dressed businessman began to check the texture of these soaps with his delicate and fat hands, and he couldn't help but squeeze it with his hands, feeling the delicateness of it.

   He turned around in the wooden house two or three times, and suddenly asked, "Boss, these are actually created based on Rurik's wisdom?"

"of course."

   "Oh. It's so wonderful."

   Gould turned around, and walked up to the little Rurik with a big belly, with a look of excitement in his eyes.

   He suddenly took off his wide ferret hat, revealing the nature of his big bald head in an instant, and buckled the hat on Rick’s head.

   "The future leader, Rylik, please accept my precious hat."

   Otto felt that something was wrong for a while. If it was only ferret fur, it was not extremely expensive. The most important thing was that the hat was decorated with a sapphire.

   "Gould, is it appropriate?"

"Very suitable. Great leader. Don't you think that today's scene is very special, there are so many yellow and white objects stacked here, it is actually an excellent washing tool. In fact, you don't need to say that I also know , You absolutely used sulfur to make this thing. Ah! What a miracle that sulfur turns into a baby that cleans clothes!"

   Leurik endured the bald head gas, lifted the huge woolen hat, revealing his big blue eyes, watching the businessman Gould shake his fat body and dance with his hands.

   Gould jumped for a while, then looked at Otto and asked, "All these yellow and white? There should be some ordinary brown."

   "Yes, they are stored in another wooden house."

   Hearing this, Gould couldn't help swallowing deeply: "Could it be so much?"

   "No. There are only five hundred ordinary soaps, Gould, compared to these, those are not of high quality."

   "That's true. Compared to the one I bought first, the shape you are making now has become very smooth, and there is actually the name of your tribe on each piece."

   After all, soap production began to the end of March in the current Julian calendar, four months have passed!

   The Ross people living in Northern Europe seem to be a very backward and barbaric group of guys. After all, they are all living people. There is no essential difference between the foundation of IQ and the human beings a thousand years later. They all have the same wisdom. The difference is that people after a thousand years have generally received a good education, and they are able to obtain all kinds of advanced knowledge that have been born since the Renaissance.

   Today's Ross people simply cannot enjoy the happiness of acquiring a large amount of knowledge, but they get a little bit crookedly, and the powerful imagination that humans have can enable them to develop something.

  The wooden molds for the latest soap made by the priests are made of oak boards and then made of pine glue. Each small plate is finely polished to make the box quite smooth, so that the soap nugget that leaves the mold is no longer just a barely cube as it was originally.

   The most subtle thing is the word "RUSSOPA" made up of the Rune alphabet, which has changed from positive to negative. Just because the priest carved the wood on the bottom layer, it was not troublesome, but it eventually made the text on the soap clear and indelible.

   Coupled with the purely air-dried dehydration treatment in the constant temperature darkroom, the surface of the huge soap nuggets piled in front of Gould remains smooth, and there is no cracking at all. New 81 Chinese network update the fastest mobile terminal: https:/

   In fact, huge orders are forcing priests to spend all their time on soap production, and they have to find ways to improve efficiency.

   The priests who have become a bit wealthy, led by Bona, in the name of priest work, she recruited some girls from the tribe and paid their parents a silver coin, making the girls work until the sea ice melted.

   The Ross tribe has very similar attitudes about boys and girls with other tribes. Many girls were ruthlessly abandoned by their parents when they were still baby girls, simply because they could not become future warriors and could not make huge wealth for their families.

   There are some who are not so cruel. They raise their daughters until they are at least twelve years old and get engaged in hastily, in order to make some gifts.

  Life is such a reality. The girl who thought to be a tailor at most had the chance to enter the sanctuary of the priests? ! The priests even promised that these girls will play an important role in the spring ceremony! Because I will give my daughter to the sacrifice for the time being, not only do I not have to worry about the food consumed by my daughter’s meal, but I can also get a silver coin because of it, which is far more worthwhile than buying and selling.

   So Rurik was surprised to find that Bona's mentality changed extremely fast in the face of huge production pressure.

  In the small world of the long house of the priest, the situation here essentially made Rurik feel some familiarity from the world after a thousand years.

  Perhaps, this is a "soap company" in the world, and it is also a kind of budding capitalism.

  Lurik feels that it is crazy to make huge profits by providing "intellectual property rights", so Bona is doing even more crazy now.

   There are not many girls in the tribe, which Rurik has always regretted. He knew how the tribe treated the girls of the tribe, and felt extremely uncomfortable with the barbarism of the tribe.

   If you become the leader, any family that dared to abandon the baby must be punished. However, the essence of forcing many families to abandon their daughters is that in the distribution of extremely limited materials, an optimal solution that is beneficial to the family must be reached. No moral relationship can comfort the terrible hunger caused by the large number of family members. sense.

   If the girls of the tribe can earn a little wealth through labor for the family when they are still young, and even the employer will provide food and lodging, then the native family will abandon their daughters if they are flooded with water.

   Bona didn't think her decision was so great, seeing Villa aging gradually, she would soon become the new high priest.

   She recruited ten tribal girls and ordered them to participate in the heavy work of boiling oil and stirring soap.

   This time and space squeezes child labor, who thinks it is wrong? On the contrary, because children can suddenly work and earn money to subsidize their families, this is actually an improvement compared to older times.

  Of course, when some ethnic groups realize that their children determine their own future, the squeeze of children's labor is prohibited by legislation.

The orders of the priests stimulated the people to go to the ice to dig holes to catch the breathing seals. The priests bought the seals as a whole at a low price. A large amount of seal fat was boiled into oil, and the remaining seal meat became everyone. food.

   The most precious seal liver was enjoyed by the priests. The girls had eaten a lot of seal meat, but they felt that life was pretty good.

  In Rurik's view, they are the poorest child laborers. The priests did not hesitate to squeeze their value, and the priests personally went to battle to get these huge amounts of soap.

   Now, soap is thrown in production.

   For the time being, Liu Rick doesn't want to change anything, let alone some social transformation of the Ross tribe, close to the name of "Odin Blesser"? Do not! It is absolutely impossible to have no money in your pocket.

   Gould looked at those ordinary soaps again, and it was indeed not as comfortable as sulfur soap in appearance.

   Gould is a happy businessman, and he is also facing a certain amount of pressure now.

   There are as many as 3,000 foreigners living in the Ross tribe. Among them are a group of fur hunters who are eager to catch more ferrets in the north, the fur processing industry spawned by northern fur, and a group of professional cobblers.

   There are also some shipbuilding professionals who live here. They only seek to find huge pine trees in the area north of Roseburg to make larger ships. Because the Ross people make long boats, the keel must be a peculiar-looking oak. This kind of wood is really hard to find. However, the biggest requirement for ship ribs and ship boards is that the cross-sectional area of ​​the tree must be large. Over the centuries, as the Vikings' navigational skills became more and more superb, all the Viking tribes had an increasing demand for "shipbuilding wood". Going to remote areas to find good boat materials was the motivation of many shipbuilders. Starting

  Some craftsmen make a living on this.

   is different from those huge warships. An ordinary fishing boat is only four to five stikas, which is a mere four to five meters. It does not require any special shaped oak keel. The whole body is made of pine, the main parts are spliced ​​with a tenon and tenon structure, and some places are fixed with rivets and the gaps are sealed with loose glue. A good pine fishing boat is completed.

   Such a fishing boat has to sell for thirty silver coins at last.

   Shipbuilding is tiring work. Craftsmen always make themselves sticky by applying pine oil. Soap perfectly solves the most disgusting things they face when building ships. This winter, there are at least fifty fishing boats under construction in the coastal docks, and all of them will be pulled to the south and sold.

  The shipbuilder family is another group of wealthy people. They bought a lot of soap. Many of the bourgeois decided to buy more, in order to personally transport the soap to the south and sell it at a good price.

   Now, Gould has more than 20 entourages with him. Among them are strong and brave warriors, someone who asks for news on a full-time basis, and two maids serve.

   Gould is very grateful that Otto did not sell a huge amount of soap to others, and he did not have any intention to raise the price.

"Everything is in accordance with our original agreement. The great leader, please come to my house in a while, and I will give you the money. But then, please help me to look after the soap. When the ice and snow almost melt, I will be bad. People transport them to my ship."

   Otto nodded deeply and praised deeply: "I just admire your boldness. I also want to thank you for the hat you gave to my son, but it is too big."

   "No! This is a symbol of our friendship, and also a symbol of my friendship with Rurik." After that, Gould patted Rurik's thin shoulder and further praised him in front of the child's father. "My youngest son is not only not as beautiful as Rurik, but he has not received the love of God. But Rurik has given me a chance to gain greater wealth. He and I are already friends, don't you think?"

  Lurik looked up at the old man who yearned for wealth, and nodded slightly. "We are friends. If you pay the money now, we are best friends."

   "Aha! You really love money." Gould laughed boldly, causing Otto to laugh too.

Gould is actually very satisfied. The businessmen are too hypocritical to talk about **** comrades like warriors. As a businessman, he is in business and business, and he pays the money and delivers the goods~www.novelhall.com~ happily trade and complement each other. , This is the "businessmen's friendship". Although Rurik was young, he was obviously more intelligent than many adults.

"That's a deal. I'll give you money soon. Anyway, the wise Rurik, and the great leader. In the evening, I invite you into my mansion, and I will use the best food. Entertain you with fine wine."

  Drinking? Otto was almost out of instinctive exuberance.

   "Gould? Is it a lot of mead?"

   "Oh, it was there at the time. It was our favorite." Gould said with a smile, "I have some other tricks."

   "What is it?"

"Red wine, cranberry wine. I bought it at a high price. It is a genuine product in my private possession for my personal enjoyment. The great leader, looking at more than a thousand soaps, I am very happy to share with you. Of these treasures."

  Otto has drunk wine, knowing that it comes from the so-called "never cold" southern world, but actually refers to Eastern Rome.

   Originally wine was not expensive in the Mediterranean, and Eastern Romans did not think it was precious. However, just like cheap salt in Eastern Rome and Italy, it will suddenly be profitable when shipped to the northern inland areas.

   Wine is even more so! Following the land trade road northward, risky merchants sold it to the Danes for huge profits. The Danish profiteers secretly sold it to the rival Minya tribes for greater profit.

   Otto really understands the preciousness of wine, and he is eager to try the dinner.

   However, this Gould, the most precious wine in his collection, is not as simple as wine!
