Text Chapter 587 I conquered Finland as our ancestors conquered Novgorod fifty years ago
In just two days of voyage, the Rurik fleet sailing close to the coast saw the suddenly open sea and the dotted islands.
This is the correctness of the Aland Islands, and the fleet will undoubtedly go ashore and rest again, rushing in with its head dull, and immediately encountering cruising fishing boats and merchant ships.
The Ross fishing boat and the Merlaren fishing boat were quite surprised. The flying flag clearly indicated that the fleet belonged to Ross.
Could it be that the old Otto, who has completed the summer collection of tributes, still has a fleet in Shilla Fort? Now the team is back?
Next, the entire Tombstone Island was shocked!
The visit of the Mercury with a large number of dragon-head warships was an accident. The people on the island knew that Lord Rurik brought a group of brave men to fight against the invading Tavastias. Two months have passed since they set off, and the fleet is heading to the inland rivers, and at the same time it has established a stronghold in Covenstad, isn't it?
Did Master Rurik used magic and suddenly appeared from the sea route leading to Shilla Fort and Novgorod?
Rurik landed one after another with his cronies and soldiers.
The arrival of a large number of thin black-haired girls on the island surprised the people on the island. Everyone whispered that these women reminded themselves of High Priest Lumia.
Not only these women, but there are also about a hundred black-haired men. These men generally look thinner, mostly dressed in a mix of gray linen and leather. Who is this again? People have thought of the scene when they first met Kewen, who also dressed like this at that time.
Tombstone Island is already a fortress at the crossroads of the ocean. She intuitively saw that it was a wooden castle standing on an island in the archipelago. The solid wooden walls and towering towers made the blessed port seem extremely safe.
Of course, such a building gave a huge shock to all the Suomi people present in the lake people.
Those girls learn that they are not slaves at all. They will be assigned immediately after arriving at the hometown of the Roths, and they will even hold a wedding of the Roths collectively and become the new Roth women. The young Ruth leader, and the seemingly credible tribe Jeflo, are claiming that all their promises will be fulfilled.
Life shouldn't be worse...
They are just ordinary peasant girls living by the lake, and their lives are also miserable, but they have not yet seen a more comfortable life and take the past days for granted.
A castle is in front of you! The Ross people actually have an excellent dock! There are also a considerable number of Russ here.
Could this be their home port?
The maidens and the newly-promoted servant soldiers, the tension and curiosity of everyone intertwined, gathered together for a while, and soon began to camp on the spot again.
After all, Rurik is the real power duke of Rose, and his fleet of incredible visits immediately attracted all foreign merchants stranded on the island. They wanted to inquire about some news, and speculated that all the people brought back were captured slaves.
A powerful Ross army landed on the island, and they must have won a big victory.
More than one businessman tried to get close to Rurik, and the news soon reached his ears, who had planned to rest early to ease the strain on the boat.
Already sitting in the "Pavilion", Rurik, who was quietly waiting for the meal with Carlotta in his arms, almost fell into a nap.
Jeflo hurriedly asked to see him with the news he had heard, and Rurik suddenly became sober, suddenly feeling uncomfortable.
"Damn it, buy slaves, buy my spoils? You really focused on the woman I brought back? Do these businessmen have enough money in their hands?"
Jeflo was taken aback: "My lord, could it be that they are rich and talented, so you sell?"
"This... leather is OK. Women, absolutely. We Rose go everywhere to get women and come back to be wives. They are all future Rose's mothers. They are blessed by me. Whoever dares to enslave them is looking for death!" Because of exhaustion But with anger, Rurik threw a glass directly this time, and it fell apart.
Yevlo breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the crystal fragments on the ground, it was a pity. Wanting to come to the Duchy of Ross here, glassware is no longer a rare thing, and said: "Those merchants...think that the people we brought back are slaves. They also want to know why we come from the sea to the east."
"Do I have to explain to them? Forget it." Rurik waved his hand and urged disdainfully: "Kick them away! I won't see guests tonight. You organize your brothers to take good care of all the Suomi people and beware of those Merchants are secretly arresting people. You don’t want the girl of your clan to be stolen by a slave trader."
Jeflo nodded. As a Suomi, he knew nothing more about what happened to him as a child. He said, "I understand. I also thought that the Merlaren merchants or other merchants who wandered around on Tombstone Island were untrustworthy. , They dared to do it, I caught it and cut it off myself."
"Just do it, you can withdraw."
A hundred Suomi men are now looking forward to the head of Yevlomar, not because their children will inherit the title of "Marquis of Finland", but because Yevlo is everyone's family, and this mutual trust is natural.
The men were armed that night, even if they were short spears tall. They were asked to guard the camp and protect all the women.
In fact, the castle building on Tombstone Island simply cannot accommodate the entire army, and the army stays out on guard, even the nearly three hundred boys and girls in the army.
Although it was a street sleeper, everyone slept extremely peacefully this night.
The entire huge bay north of Tombstone Island is the inland sea of the Duchy of Ross. This place is the gateway to the core area of Ross, a real pass.
But those merchants still didn't give up, they finally figured out a general idea about the experience of the Ruth army crusade against the enemy.
Those who were chasing profits immediately moved their minds. Since there is a waterway to the east deep into the hinterland of the "Eastern Land", they can start a fur business with the locals. It’s just that acts such as arresting people cannot be done. The locals actually collectively serve as servants of the Ross people. Will any acts of violence evolve into the anger of the Ross people against the Mellaren people? At that time, the leader Bjorn, who had already held the power, blamed himself again, and he really had no place to stand.
At noon the next day, the Rurik fleet left Tombstone Island in the warm south wind and drifted towards its hometown.
They suddenly appeared and then left, and Rurik did not make any interesting speeches.
The people on the island still figured out some things, and in surprise, they also sighed that Master Rurik opened up territory for the Principality of Ross, and was indeed the goddess favored by Odin.
Since returning home eagerly, Liu Rick has no intention to waste time.
Everyone who knows the hydrology and geography of this bay very well, sailing is as easy as wandering in a pond in their backyard.
The boats set sail and proceeded slowly at a mere three knots, almost day and night, and they returned to the Roseburg Fjord in only three days and nights.
"The front is Roseburg, and we are finally back." said Jeflo, who was standing next to Rurik in the stern of the Mercury.
What he said was actually suggestive, and wanted to hear Rurik's treatment of the Suomi girls.
"I'm back, I'm really tired." Lurik took a deep laziness, and then glanced at the group of languid girls on the nearby long boat. It was really hard for them to think that this would be the first voyage in their lives.
In fact, Otto also returned to Hong Kong a few days ago with Eastern tributes, and he was not surprised that Rick had not completed the crusade with the army for so long.
As for wars, the longer you last, the more spoils you will get.
It is also inappropriate to say that he is not worried.
In his twilight years, Otto had already grayed out his whole body's hair. Once he remembered his two sons who had died early in an accident, he was afraid that he was the only son and the third son, Rurik. The son has the blessing of Odin, and he also got divination from Lumia. The so-called "Rulik's victory expedition is still going on", so I feel relieved.
Covenstad on the other side of the bay is undergoing rapid construction, and many fishermen in Roseburg have recently moved to the other side.
They are all forest hunters. How is the level of the Ross people inferior to the Corvin people? Obviously the level is higher!
In the east, squirrels reproduce at an alarming rate in warm seasons. The best fur and a large number of lake fish are in the east. They rush to the east for more wealth, objectively stimulating the development of Covenstad.
Everything is thriving. The returning Otto also noticed that a new batch of long rowing boats were launched. In the huge shipbuilding workshop of Hotra, the hulls of the four sail destroyers were basically decked out.
Originally there were only five blacksmith families in Roseburg, but now the scale of blacksmiths has broken a hundred! Not only the small contract blacksmiths under Rurik's command, but a group of newcomers from the local Ross, they just gave up their glory as warriors and planned to be hardworking ironsmiths. It seemed that they could simply earn a stable income by doing so.
In the iron-smelting area within the walls of Roseburg, the chimney seems to always be venting black smoke.
Every day, there are a group of women, men, and even Rurik’s “child army”. They carry rattan baskets, drive reindeer and pony horses with two-wheeled carts, and go to dig in the nearby mountains. The ore is even injected into the upper reaches of the fjord river to excavate the fine river sand.
Industries that once did not exist in Roseburg were also born, such as the manufacture of cement and the firing of crude clay bricks.
Whether it is the local construction of Roseburg, or even the construction of Sillasburg and Covenstad in the distance, the most important thing in all construction is "building a house."
Roseburg literally gave birth to the prosperity arising from "real estate". Metallurgy, pottery, brick burning, logging, wood processing, stone processing, and cable processing were all driven by these industries. The working people earned revenge, and then the industries of hemp, textile, leather, felt, fishing, animal oil, soap and other industries that improved and improved people's livelihood also flourished.
It is obvious that, compared to these fast-booming industries, Rose's labor force appears too scarce. Even if a large number of women have developed into a grand occasion of holding one in their arms, one in their belly, or even holding one in one hand, a large number of children in Roseburg are really affordable and not very sick. The children grow up to be able to work. The lower limit of the power supply is also six years. The lack of labor has restricted the maximum speed of the development of the Rus people, so that many old men and old people who are considered useless are doing things such as hoarding hemp rope, making pottery clay, grinding iron needles, and making Low-strength work such as fishing hooks.
The wealth that Rose has looted over the years has become a highly efficient fuel for the operation of the state apparatus.
This time, Otto seized a batch of surplus grain, leather and a batch of wool from the local Slavs' homes from Novgorod, and immediately sold them to tribes who wanted to work uniforms. He "recovered" a batch of circulating silver and copper coins, and then transferred them to store them for his son's expenses.
In such a prosperous age, the Principality of Ross is full of hope. Immersed in this prosperity, Otto also happily enjoyed this beautiful old age.
He couldn't even dream that a little girl captured from the north gave birth to her first grandchild many years later.
Velika has brown hair and blue-gray eyes. She is not the kind of pure Rose girl, but she has a strange beauty. Although he is still a baby, teasing his granddaughter and laughing while watching her, this is what the Otoniyas love to do now.
Suddenly, Rurik's fleet triumphed!
Surprised Otto hurriedly left the palace, and Niya hurried downstairs with the baby Velika in his arms.
Hundreds of people gathered at the pier, and the fishermen who were chatting on the shore also stood up and took off their sun-shading caps to greet the returning fleet.
One long ship after another steadily docked on the trestle bridge deep in the sea, and was tied to the wooden piles with ropes.
Those Suomi girls rubbed their wilting eyes vigorously. They were tossed by the long voyage and were so unhealthy. They were shocked to see this huge city built on the hillside that they could not describe. The whole person is also sober in an instant.
They were urged to disembark, and walked shoulder to shoulder across the trestle to stand on the sandy shore, and then hooked their heads at the guidance of the more and more blond Ross people.
The performance of the Mercury is the most amazing here, and the human-powered propeller system comes in handy when the ship is docked. The sails have been retracted, and the helmsman accurately manipulated the rudder, and coordinated with the pedaler to land very smoothly.
The uniformed soldiers landed one after another, and then the busy unloading work began.
The follow-up work is in order, almost all the goods will be stuffed into the Duke's warehouse.
Rurik easily saw his father who was smiling and silent, and his mother who was crying with joy while holding the baby.
Seeing the cheers of the people in his hometown, the tired Rurik also smiled, opening his hands and winning the past with great interest...
That night, the Rus fell into joy, celebrating the victory of this crusade against the Tavastia.
But the people of Roseburg didn't know how great this victory was. They didn't even know the details and what the victory meant.
After eating some oatmeal and drinking a glass of sweet wine blended with a lot of honey, Rurik immediately disappeared most of his exhaustion.
Since the old man asked about the process of this crusade based on the instinct of a veteran soldier, Liulix simply gathered the elites who are currently in Roseburg to gather on the first floor of the palace, just to announce his great achievements to everyone.
It was a lengthy lecture. Not only did Rurik stood up and slapped everyone's chest to explain, but Arik and even the Allied Commander Bijuni also explained a lot.
The preaching was lengthy but wonderful. Listening to the explanation of their great achievements by these young boys, Ao was sweating while sitting on his legs.
He hates it! Hate myself for being old! If you hate yourself for taking a boat to Novgorod to collect tributes, you have to hide your fatigue in front of the reliable local Ligus. Fortunately, his gray beard hides a lot of age spots on his face.
In fact, everyone who stayed at Roseburg was very surprised. As the Duke’s chief guard, the man who commanded all the elite mercenaries had no right to make personal statements at the military meeting of the Russians.
However, times have changed. The Suomi Jeflo, who was born as a slave, was actually considered a noble, at least his heirs were indeed vassals who were canonized by the Duke of Ross and must be loyal to Ross.
Including other people's speeches, a huge amount of information smashed into Otto's aging brain, and he felt that the news was really messy for a while.
Otto made two hoarse coughs: "Rurik, you guys...follow the river into the inland and kill 5,000 Tavastia fighters. Did you destroy their home along the way? In the end, you also conquered. Suomi? The term is a bit strange." As he said, his right hand pointed to the ceiling, "You must not brag about any of your words, you can't hide any words from Odin. Now, Rose really rules the entire land of the East. ?"
Rurik looked sideways, his face as calm as water: "Not at all."
"Oh..." Otto let out a sigh of relief, "Yes. You won a brilliant victory, and there is still some far-fetched conquest of the entire Eastern Land."
"No!" Rurik shook his head: "I mean, there are the Karelians in the north of Shilla Fort, and the Perm people in the more east. Dad, there are others, are you still I don’t know that there is a big east-west mountain in the very far east? The name of the mountain is called Ural. I dare say that if you conquer these two ethnic groups, everyone who reaches the Ural mountain in the east will be conquered by us."
These words should have been magnificent, some complacent Rurik was watching the crowd, and everyone's expressions were puzzled as a whole.
Rurik shrugged: "Never mind. I mean, at least there are no people in the East who can compete with us. It is natural to conquer them and collect tributes! Besides, I now define the entire land of the East as Finland, and Jevlo is also married. Now, his son must be a pure Suomi. When he was a hereditary Finnish earl~www.novelhall.com~ any war would send troops to fight for us. Because of this arrangement, the local talents did not choose to resist. I Conquering Finland now, just as our ancestors conquered Novgorod 50 years ago, don’t the locals pay tribute every year? The heroes in the sky and the old priest Veria will be happy for us."
This is clear to everyone, you look at me and I will look at you again, and we all enjoy each other.
Everyone didn’t think that Rurik had any compromise with the Suomi people. They all thought that those guys were like Kovins, Rapps, and even Novgorods back then. They were all clever people. They would choose when they knew their strength was inadequate. Be a submissive loyal dog.
I am afraid that they have to take the initiative to kneel down and beg for mercy, because the Tavastias who decided to fight to the end were almost completely destroyed by the Ross army.
Because the spoils are not just these five hundred Suomi women, at least two thousand Tavastia women, a large number of reindeer, and a large number of collected weapons are slowly moving to Covenstad on the landing road. These Tavastia women almost have their own Rose men. The soldiers who returned by sea first are waiting for those women to arrive in Roseburg to claim their new wives.
"So we did conquer the land of the East." Otto said: "I saw that you brought back many women and a group of men. They are all slaves?"
"Slave? How could it be possible! I told the local Suomi chiefs to treat the five hundred absolutely pure girls they contributed, and I must treat them well. There are another two thousand Tavastia women, all of us from Rus." Women, I dare say they will conceive soon. By the way, how to place these people is what I want to announce below..."

In the iron-smelting area within the walls of Roseburg, the chimney seems to always be venting black smoke.

Rurik looked sideways, his face as calm as water: "Not at all."
"Oh..." Otto let out a sigh of relief, "Yes. You won a brilliant victory, and there is still some far-fetched conquest of the entire Eastern Land."
"No!" Rurik shook his head: "I mean, there are the Karelians in the north of Shilla Fort, and the Perm people in the more east. Dad, there are others, are you still I don’t know that there is a big east-west mountain in the very far east? The name of the mountain is called Ural. I dare say that if you conquer these two ethnic groups, everyone who reaches the Ural mountain in the east will be conquered by us."
These words should have been magnificent, some complacent Rurik was watching the crowd, and everyone's expressions were puzzled as a whole.
Rurik shrugged: "Never mind. I mean, at least there are no people in the East who can compete with us. It is natural to conquer them and collect tributes! Besides, I now define the entire land of the East as Finland, and Jevlo is also married. Now, his son must be a pure Suomi. When he was a hereditary Finnish earl~www.novelhall.com~ any war would send troops to fight for us. Because of this arrangement, the local talents did not choose to resist. I Conquering Finland now, just as our ancestors conquered Novgorod 50 years ago, don’t the locals pay tribute every year? The heroes in the sky and the old priest Veria will be happy for us."
This is clear to everyone, you look at me and I will look at you again, and we all enjoy each other.
Everyone didn’t think that Rurik had any compromise with the Suomi people. They all thought that those guys were like Kovins, Rapps, and even Novgorods back then. They were all clever people. They would choose when they knew their strength was inadequate. Be a submissive loyal dog.
I am afraid that they have to take the initiative to kneel down and beg for mercy, because the Tavastias who decided to fight to the end were almost completely destroyed by the Ross army.
Because the spoils are not just these five hundred Suomi women, at least two thousand Tavastia women, a large number of reindeer, and a large number of collected weapons are slowly moving to Covenstad on the landing road. These Tavastia women almost have their own Rose men. The soldiers who returned by sea first are waiting for those women to arrive in Roseburg to claim their new wives.
"So we did conquer the land of the East." Otto said: "I saw that you brought back many women and a group of men. They are all slaves?"
"Slave? How could it be possible! I told the local Suomi chiefs to treat the five hundred absolutely pure girls they contributed, and I must treat them well. There are another two thousand Tavastia women, all of us from Rus." Women, I dare say they will conceive soon. By the way, how to place these people is what I want to announce below..."

Text Chapter 587 I conquered Finland as our ancestors conquered Novgorod fifty years agoIn just two days of voyage, the Rurik fleet sailing close to the coast saw the suddenly open sea and the dotted islands.This is the correctness of the Aland Islands, and the fleet will undoubtedly go ashore and rest again, rushing in with its head dull, and immediately encountering cruising fishing boats and merchant ships.The Ross fishing boat and the Merlaren fishing boat were quite surprised. The flying flag clearly indicated that the fleet belonged to Ross.Could it be that the old Otto, who has completed the summer collection of tributes, still has a fleet in Shilla Fort? Now the team is back?Next, the entire Tombstone Island was shocked!The visit of the Mercury with a large number of dragon-head warships was an accident. The people on the island knew that Lord Rurik brought a group of brave men to fight against the invading Tavastias. Two months have passed since they set off, and the fleet is heading to the inland rivers, and at the same time it has established a stronghold in Covenstad, isn't it?Did Master Rurik used magic and suddenly appeared from the sea route leading to Shilla Fort and Novgorod?Rurik landed one after another with his cronies and soldiers.The arrival of a large number of thin black-haired girls on the island surprised the people on the island. Everyone whispered that these women reminded themselves of High Priest Lumia.Not only these women, but there are also about a hundred black-haired men. These men generally look thinner, mostly dressed in a mix of gray linen and leather. Who is this again? People have thought of the scene when they first met Kewen, who also dressed like this at that time.Tombstone Island is already a fortress at the crossroads of the ocean. She intuitively saw that it was a wooden castle standing on an island in the archipelago. The solid wooden walls and towering towers made the blessed port seem extremely safe.Of course, such a building gave a huge shock to all the Suomi people present in the lake people.Those girls learn that they are not slaves at all. They will be assigned immediately after arriving at the hometown of the Roths, and they will even hold a wedding of the Roths collectively and become the new Roth women. The young Ruth leader, and the seemingly credible tribe Jeflo, are claiming that all their promises will be fulfilled.Life shouldn't be worse...They are just ordinary peasant girls living by the lake, and their lives are also miserable, but they have not yet seen a more comfortable life and take the past days for granted.A castle is in front of you! The Ross people actually have an excellent dock! There are also a considerable number of Russ here.Could this be their home port?The maidens and the newly-promoted servant soldiers, the tension and curiosity of everyone intertwined, gathered together for a while, and soon began to camp on the spot again.After all, Rurik is the real power duke of Rose, and his fleet of incredible visits immediately attracted all foreign merchants stranded on the island. They wanted to inquire about some news, and speculated that all the people brought back were captured slaves.A powerful Ross army landed on the island, and they must have won a big victory.More than one businessman tried to get close to Rurik, and the news soon reached his ears, who had planned to rest early to ease the strain on the boat.Already sitting in the "Pavilion", Rurik, who was quietly waiting for the meal with Carlotta in his arms, almost fell into a nap.Jeflo hurriedly asked to see him with the news he had heard, and Rurik suddenly became sober, suddenly feeling uncomfortable."Damn it, buy slaves, buy my spoils? You really focused on the woman I brought back? Do these businessmen have enough money in their hands?"Jeflo was taken aback: "My lord, could it be that they are rich and talented, so you sell?""This... leather is OK. Women, absolutely. We Rose go everywhere to get women and come back to be wives. They are all future Rose's mothers. They are blessed by me. Whoever dares to enslave them is looking for death!" Because of exhaustion But with anger, Rurik threw a glass directly this time, and it fell apart.Yevlo breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the crystal fragments on the ground, it was a pity. Wanting to come to the Duchy of Ross here, glassware is no longer a rare thing, and said: "Those merchants...think that the people we brought back are slaves. They also want to know why we come from the sea to the east.""Do I have to explain to them? Forget it." Rurik waved his hand and urged disdainfully: "Kick them away! I won't see guests tonight. You organize your brothers to take good care of all the Suomi people and beware of those Merchants are secretly arresting people. You don't want the girl of your clan to be stolen by a slave trader."Jeflo nodded. As a Suomi, he knew nothing more about what happened to him as a child. He said, "I understand. I also thought that the Merlaren merchants or other merchants who wandered around on Tombstone Island were untrustworthy. , They dared to do it, I caught it and cut it off myself.""Just do it, you can withdraw."A hundred Suomi men are now looking forward to the head of Yevlomar, not because their children will inherit the title of "Marquis of Finland", but because Yevlo is everyone's family, and this mutual trust is natural.The men were armed that night, even if they were short spears tall. They were asked to guard the camp and protect all the women.In fact, the castle building on Tombstone Island simply cannot accommodate the entire army, and the army stays out on guard, even the nearly three hundred boys and girls in the army.Although it was a street sleeper, everyone slept extremely peacefully this night.The entire huge bay north of Tombstone Island is the inland sea of the Duchy of Ross. This place is the gateway to the core area of Ross, a real pass.But those merchants still didn't give up, they finally figured out a general idea about the experience of the Ruth army crusade against the enemy.Those who were chasing profits immediately moved their minds. Since there is a waterway to the east deep into the hinterland of the "Eastern Land", they can start a fur business with the locals. It's just that acts such as arresting people cannot be done. The locals actually collectively serve as servants of the Ross people. Will any acts of violence evolve into the anger of the Ross people against the Mellaren people? At that time, the leader Bjorn, who had already held the power, blamed himself again, and he really had no place to stand.At noon the next day, the Rurik fleet left Tombstone Island in the warm south wind and drifted towards its hometown.They suddenly appeared and then left, and Rurik did not make any interesting speeches.The people on the island still figured out some things, and in surprise, they also sighed that Master Rurik opened up territory for the Principality of Ross, and was indeed the goddess favored by Odin.Since returning home eagerly, Liu Rick has no intention to waste time.Everyone who knows the hydrology and geography of this bay very well, sailing is as easy as wandering in a pond in their backyard.The boats set sail and proceeded slowly at a mere three knots, almost day and night, and they returned to the Roseburg Fjord in only three days and nights."The front is Roseburg, and we are finally back." said Jeflo, who was standing next to Rurik in the stern of the Mercury.What he said was actually suggestive, and wanted to hear Rurik's treatment of the Suomi girls."I'm back, I'm really tired." Lurik took a deep laziness, and then glanced at the group of languid girls on the nearby long boat. It was really hard for them to think that this would be the first voyage in their lives.In fact, Otto also returned to Hong Kong a few days ago with Eastern tributes, and he was not surprised that Rick had not completed the crusade with the army for so long.As for wars, the longer you last, the more spoils you will get.It is also inappropriate to say that he is not worried.In his twilight years, Otto had already grayed out his whole body's hair. Once he remembered his two sons who had died early in an accident, he was afraid that he was the only son and the third son, Rurik. The son has the blessing of Odin, and he also got divination from Lumia. The so-called "Rulik's victory expedition is still going on", so I feel relieved.Covenstad on the other side of the bay is undergoing rapid construction, and many fishermen in Roseburg have recently moved to the other side.They are all forest hunters. How is the level of the Ross people inferior to the Corvin people? Obviously the level is higher!In the east, squirrels reproduce at an alarming rate in warm seasons. The best fur and a large number of lake fish are in the east. They rush to the east for more wealth, objectively stimulating the development of Covenstad.Everything is thriving. The returning Otto also noticed that a new batch of long rowing boats were launched. In the huge shipbuilding workshop of Hotra, the hulls of the four sail destroyers were basically decked out.Originally there were only five blacksmith families in Roseburg, but now the scale of blacksmiths has broken a hundred! Not only the small contract blacksmiths under Rurik's command, but a group of newcomers from the local Ross, they just gave up their glory as warriors and planned to be hardworking ironsmiths. It seemed that they could simply earn a stable income by doing so.In the iron-smelting area within the walls of Roseburg, the chimney seems to always be venting black smoke.Every day, there are a group of women, men, and even Rurik's child army. They carry rattan baskets, drive reindeer and pony horses with two-wheeled carts, and go to dig in the nearby mountains. The ore is even injected into the upper reaches of the fjord river to excavate the fine river sand.Industries that once did not exist in Roseburg were also born, such as the manufacture of cement and the firing of crude clay bricks.Whether it is the local construction of Roseburg, or even the construction of Sillasburg and Covenstad in the distance, the most important thing in all construction is "building a house."Roseburg literally gave birth to the prosperity arising from "real estate". Metallurgy, pottery, brick burning, logging, wood processing, stone processing, and cable processing were all driven by these industries. The working people earned revenge, and then the industries of hemp, textile, leather, felt, fishing, animal oil, soap and other industries that improved and improved people's livelihood also flourished.It is obvious that, compared to these fast-booming industries, Rose's labor force appears too scarce. Even if a large number of women have developed into a grand occasion of holding one in their arms, one in their belly, or even holding one in one hand, a large number of children in Roseburg are really affordable and not very sick. The children grow up to be able to work. The lower limit of the power supply is also six years. The lack of labor has restricted the maximum speed of the development of the Rus people, so that many old men and old people who are considered useless are doing things such as hoarding hemp rope, making pottery clay, grinding iron needles, and making Low-strength work such as fishing hooks.The wealth that Rose has looted over the years has become a highly efficient fuel for the operation of the state apparatus.This time, Otto seized a batch of surplus grain, leather and a batch of wool from the local Slavs' homes from Novgorod, and immediately sold them to tribes who wanted to work uniforms. He "recovered" a batch of circulating silver and copper coins, and then transferred them to store them for his son's expenses.In such a prosperous age, the Principality of Ross is full of hope. Immersed in this prosperity, Otto also happily enjoyed this beautiful old age.He couldn't even dream that a little girl captured from the north gave birth to her first grandchild many years later.Velika has brown hair and blue-gray eyes. She is not the kind of pure Rose girl, but she has a strange beauty. Although he is still a baby, teasing his granddaughter and laughing while watching her, this is what the Otoniyas love to do now.Suddenly, Rurik's fleet triumphed!Surprised Otto hurriedly left the palace, and Niya hurried downstairs with the baby Velika in his arms.Hundreds of people gathered at the pier, and the fishermen who were chatting on the shore also stood up and took off their sun-shading caps to greet the returning fleet.One long ship after another steadily docked on the trestle bridge deep in the sea, and was tied to the wooden piles with ropes.Those Suomi girls rubbed their wilting eyes vigorously. They were tossed by the long voyage and were so unhealthy. They were shocked to see this huge city built on the hillside that they could not describe. The whole person is also sober in an instant.They were urged to disembark, and walked shoulder to shoulder across the trestle to stand on the sandy shore, and then hooked their heads at the guidance of the more and more blond Ross people.The performance of the Mercury is the most amazing here, and the human-powered propeller system comes in handy when the ship is docked. The sails have been retracted, and the helmsman accurately manipulated the rudder, and coordinated with the pedaler to land very smoothly.The uniformed soldiers landed one after another, and then the busy unloading work began.The follow-up work is in order, almost all the goods will be stuffed into the Duke's warehouse.Rurik easily saw his father who was smiling and silent, and his mother who was crying with joy while holding the baby.Seeing the cheers of the people in his hometown, the tired Rurik also smiled, opening his hands and winning the past with great interest...That night, the Rus fell into joy, celebrating the victory of this crusade against the Tavastia.But the people of Roseburg didn't know how great this victory was. They didn't even know the details and what the victory meant.After eating some oatmeal and drinking a glass of sweet wine blended with a lot of honey, Rurik immediately disappeared most of his exhaustion.Since the old man asked about the process of this crusade based on the instinct of a veteran soldier, Liulix simply gathered the elites who are currently in Roseburg to gather on the first floor of the palace, just to announce his great achievements to everyone.It was a lengthy lecture. Not only did Rurik stood up and slapped everyone's chest to explain, but Arik and even the Allied Commander Bijuni also explained a lot.The preaching was lengthy but wonderful. Listening to the explanation of their great achievements by these young boys, Ao was sweating while sitting on his legs.He hates it! Hate myself for being old! If you hate yourself for taking a boat to Novgorod to collect tributes, you have to hide your fatigue in front of the reliable local Ligus. Fortunately, his gray beard hides a lot of age spots on his face.In fact, everyone who stayed at Roseburg was very surprised. As the Duke's chief guard, the man who commanded all the elite mercenaries had no right to make personal statements at the military meeting of the Russians.However, times have changed. The Suomi Jeflo, who was born as a slave, was actually considered a noble, at least his heirs were indeed vassals who were canonized by the Duke of Ross and must be loyal to Ross.Including other people's speeches, a huge amount of information smashed into Otto's aging brain, and he felt that the news was really messy for a while.Otto made two hoarse coughs: "Rurik, you guys...follow the river into the inland and kill 5,000 Tavastia fighters. Did you destroy their home along the way? In the end, you also conquered. Suomi? The term is a bit strange." As he said, his right hand pointed to the ceiling, "You must not brag about any of your words, you can't hide any words from Odin. Now, Rose really rules the entire land of the East. ?"Rurik looked sideways, his face as calm as water: "Not at all.""Oh..." Otto let out a sigh of relief, "Yes. You won a brilliant victory, and there is still some far-fetched conquest of the entire Eastern Land.""No!" Rurik shook his head: "I mean, there are the Karelians in the north of Shilla Fort, and the Perm people in the more east. Dad, there are others, are you still I don't know that there is a big east-west mountain in the very far east? The name of the mountain is called Ural. I dare say that if you conquer these two ethnic groups, everyone who reaches the Ural mountain in the east will be conquered by us."These words should have been magnificent, some complacent Rurik was watching the crowd, and everyone's expressions were puzzled as a whole.Rurik shrugged: "Never mind.
