"The Rise of Rurik (!
An autumn rain was chilly, and it was aggression like fire. This rain forcibly extinguished the fire in the hearts of the Ross soldiers.
They wanted to take advantage of the victories and pursue them to achieve major results before the winter, but the whole world became muddy, and everyone in the damp world quickly lost their fighting spirit.
Everyone is full of desire for the expedition to Karelia, hoping to grab a lot of deer in the first battle, but why this battle has such an anticlimactic result?
Do not! The situation hasn't gotten so bad.
Less than a day after the war on the lakeside was over, the sky was hazy, and rain began to rain within three days.
When the army had basically cleaned the battlefield and dug out everything that could be used, the cold autumn rain began.
Both the Suomi and the Vips said that once the autumn rain comes, it will be less than five days or more than fifteen days. No one should expect it to end hastily.
The Ross people, who know a lot about the Eastern Land and this big lake, are deeply concerned that the world fully soaked by rain will become muddy. Even if it is chasing the enemy, who would be willing to go north in the mud? Unless the world freezes.
Over the years, the most traditional Ros people have changed their inherent perceptions. Winter does not mean dormant, it is a new opportunity and an alternative season of war.
Where do the Karelians who fled go back? Is it north? Are there other Karelian tribes in the north?
The Servants of the Vips pointed to the maze and made all speculations become reality.
Because those people will not flee indiscriminately, they will flee to the grazing spot in winter to accumulate strength.
Since the enemy will spend the winter in a clear location, the Ruth army, who was forced to miss out on the opponent and the spoils by the bad weather, will no longer be discouraged.
The army began to retreat, and various seized spoils began to be transported to the ship.
Especially those women who were captured, they were firmly controlled by the Suomi servants, and the Vips servants also got a handful of female prisoners. It is impossible to tie the captives' elbows with ropes. They are slaves in the Karelian community, but their status has improved. The days are still going to pass. After moving to the Western Suomi territory, maybe I can finally live like a normal woman...
The Ross Fleet put up a long snake formation and gradually withdrew from this small lake. Lurik announced that he would abandon the conquered lakeside camp. No one opposed this decision.
Why did Rose give up a newly conquered area? Rather than giving up, it is better to say that this move is an escape.
Before the rain, the Rus army had already burned its own soldiers who died in battle, and Rurik publicly announced that the souls of the deceased had gone to Valhalla with the blue smoke.
Both the Suomi and the Vips have lost, and the overall loss is not small. Based on their beliefs, they buried the dead in the war and hoped that their souls would enter the sea of souls underground.
Only the enemy's corpse was still lying on its back.
The Rus army could not collect the corpses of thousands of Karelians who died in battle. The dead were grouped with the destroyed tents. The corpses had turned gray and their blood turned black. The corpse will rot and smell, will turn into jackal food, and finally turn into bones. This place is full of curses and ominousness. Many people in the cold autumn rain claimed to have heard the wailing of resentful spirits at night.
It was actually the call of a night owl on a rainy night, and ordinary soldiers could not care too much, while Rurik simply did not want to continue to be cold in the rain, and the whole army began to retreat.
The fleet returned to the town of Bear Festival and arrived in the rain in the only post on the northern shore of Lake Ladoga in the Duchy of Ross.
There are only more than 20 elderly Ross veterans who want to stay. They have taken a fancy to the local fishery resources, and they are aptly named as excellent guards for Ross.
It’s not far from Suomi’s hometown, so more than one hundred Suomi decided to stay. This is not only to "guard the frontier for Ross", but to cooperate with the Ross people to fish in Lake Ladoga, and to vent their hatred. This place is a ritual center for Karelians! The oppressed Suomi people will one day build their own houses on the territory of former enemies. It is so fun.
It is a great thing that someone is willing to spend the winter in Bear Festival Town, because a batch of trophy reindeer can't be taken away for a while, and they have to stay here and continue to eat grass.
This time the fleet will give priority to bringing more than three hundred fawns onto the ship. According to the plan, most of the deer will eventually be brought to Fort Shilla on the Neva River by means of ants. This should be done as far as possible before the lake freezes. .
The existence of Bear Sacrifice Town itself is a mockery of all Karelians. She is likely to attract the opponent's crazy attack, which is exactly what the Rus Principality hopes to see. What is a rout? If there is a decoy to lure the enemy's main force into it, the problem can be solved once and for all by annihilating it all in one swoop.
There are men and women who remain, and some women prisoners will live with their new men as fishermen. They will continue to build the Bear Festival Town, and at least build a walled city for everyone to hold on in case of unexpected events.
In the continuous autumn rain, the Ross fleet continued to descend south along the shoreline of the lake, and the Vips returned to their hometown with a batch of trophies. They set off on an order, and they had not tasted victory this time and finally tasted the taste of victory. Old iron tools regarded as scrap by the Ruths are regarded as treasures by the Vips. A batch of axes, spearheads and iron arrows will quickly improve the lives of the Vips. Life is bound to get better, because although Earl Terravis is a teenager, he is trustworthy. He promised to bring a group of good things into the village in late autumn. That will be many advanced equipment of the Duchy of Ross, and the ambition of a young man.
The autumn rain made the Ladoga Lake, which should have entered the dry season, rise in water, and the flow of the Neva River increased slightly. The fleet returned to their assembly area in the rain, and ships large and small anchored in the harbor.
The expeditionary army regrouped in Fort Shilla. The Russ, Balmerks and other Viking troops moved into the city. The Suomi servants camped outside the city, where the master-servant relationship was very thorough.
The rammed earth road that has been rammed can withstand the short-term rain soaking, but the autumn rain literally lasted for half a month. The Harvest Square that Rurik saw before Yang Changshai Valley has now become muddy.
The continuous rainfall has made the residents in the city negative, and the coolness has even diminished the joy of the harvest. The people and the army are staying in their houses, and if there is nothing important, no one wants to go out.
At least, because of the need for threshing, growing, and drying, Fengshou Square was rammed with rocks by manpower to make it solid enough. Even if it is muddy, the situation is not terrible.
But the situation of other routes in the city is uneven. The Nevsky Prospekt built along the Neva River and the circular road that surrounds the entire city wall have been rammed, and a layer of gravel transported from Kotlin Island is laid and walked here after a long rain. Don't worry about the mud full of boots.
The situation of the vertical and horizontal roads in the city is terrible, here is the pool of water everywhere, which satisfies all the bad impressions of the village roads of Rurik.
The most worried thing about the returning Rurik was the granary in the center of the city. Even if the road was muddy, he was led by Governor Conuson to conduct a rather careful inspection.
This is a morning that is still rainy in autumn, and the whole world is overcast.
Although there are no umbrellas that can be opened and closed easily, local residents have made movable sheds out of leather and wooden slats. The four guards held the shed together, and Rurik stood in it, and met Governor Cornuson, who had hurriedly arrived, in front of the Ducal Palace.
"You are late."
"My lord, if I hadn't seen the light outside, I thought it was still night." Conuson defended, and then he set up almost: "It has been some time since the army has entered the city. I know that many people are leaving, but The weather is terrible."
"Oh? Are you driving me away?"
Konuzon was taken aback, and hurriedly explained: "I don't dare. I heard that the old duke will spend the winter in Novgorod this year. The two chiefs of the duchy sit in the west and east. Shilla Fort is absolutely safe. ."
"It's okay. Many people in the army are going to leave, but let me remind you that I will leave with a batch of wheat. This **** rain has directly disrupted the pace of the conquest. I warn you, if the wheat gets wet, you will Punished. Very severe punishment!"
"Yes! I dare not neglect, I dare to promise with honor that even continuous heavy rain will not let the wheat get wet."
Rurik shrugged: "I hope. But your road construction is not doing well, look at this harvest square... Pray, pray that it will end before the rain makes the mud worse."
Conuson smiled awkwardly: "I will continue to send someone to flatten it in the future."
"Of course you have to level it, but all the roads in the square and the city will be replaced by stone or concrete roads. Don't think you have great abilities. Only I can do this. Your biggest responsibility now and in the future is Be optimistic about the granary and put an end to the fire. Let me tell you, the granary here is related to the lives of our Ross people! If something goes wrong, even if you have a hundred heads, you won’t be enough brothers!"
Rurik said very heavily, although Conusson didn't understand it very well, since the Duke said that there must be some truth in it, so just do his own thing.
Of course, only managing the granary, Cornusson can indeed pat his chest and say that he has not let everyone down, and he will not be in the future.
This inspection is not a pretentious one. These very Novgorod-style fence-style woodcuts make the granary that is already in the middle of the city taller. The wheat is either a tax collected or a tribute from Novgorod, especially the output of the destroyed Pine Needle Manor this year.
The sacks are like bricks and stones stacked like a city wall, and each sacks is stuffed with 200 pounds of oat grains, so that the sacks are filled with all the granaries, and the warehouses that used to be vacant are now almost filled.
On the surface, everything seems to be normal for the food, but the air has the fragrance of earth, and the air here is a bit humid.
Rurik suddenly drew his sword and pierced it at the "grain wall" in front of him.
Both sides of the dagger are bloodletting grooves, because Rose has advanced forged steel sword technology, the sword highlights the effectiveness of assassination without chopping, the blade is narrow and the bloodletting groove is deeper, which has the effect of a grain spy.
The dagger was pulled out, and the bloodletting trough was filled with intact oatmeal grains.
Rurik touched it with his hands, especially chewing pellets.
"Very good, the depths of the sacks are dry when going out. You have done your duty."
Cornu Pine's noodles did not change color, after all, this matter could not be out of the question. He flattered: "Congratulations, my lord, this year we have a great harvest, and our food has never been more pure and abundant..."
It is also true that what the Governor said is flattery.
Rurik inspected all the granaries, and this time he deeply felt the security of hitting the soul.
Food is the life of the people and the root of the Duchy of Ross.
Fence-like wooden buildings can be insulated from water to a large extent. The roof is made of leather and attached with thatch and shingles. They will be no problem for three to four years. However, the permanent granary still has to be transferred to a masonry building. The roof can be made of leather with a waterproof layer, and tiles made of clay must be provided.
Shilla Fort must once again set off a construction boom. The buildings in key parts of the city will be improved first. The most important thing is to build a better road system. Therefore, the biggest question is who will provide the construction funds. The so-called servitude that is forcing the people to build can be done. If the people are paid enough for food, they will work happily. In this way, the importance of granary and grain is above all else.
Yuliq was very satisfied with the inspection of the granary, and he could have deeper thinking about this matter.
The rain continued to fall outdoors, and the Duke’s palace was still very lively.
The wife Svetlana is here, the sisters Carlota and Ella are here, and the ten maids are here.
These thirteen people have a common identity—the Duke’s wife.
Although they were respectful and orderly, everyone also hoped that Duke Rurik could pamper themselves. But now, only Svetlana has the right to be intimacy with Master Rurik at will.
Tonight is an accident!
No matter how rich and powerful, a person’s sleeping place is just a cramped bed.
Ella was ordered to arrive at Fort Shilla with ten sisters for almost a month. After the Duke ordered a natural mission, he led soldiers to fight north.
The Duke has been back for many days, Sister Svetlana was ordered to leave, tonight I got this opportunity for myself, is it...
She was nervous and nervous, because in Roseburg she had already experienced the coming-of-age ceremony in accordance with the Viking tradition.
She knelt down in front of Rurik, took off her wool gown shyly, and was stopped when she wanted to get the soft linen lining next to her body.
"My lord, I... Am I not worthy to be a woman..."
"I guess what you want to do, the time is still immature. The room is still a bit cold, put on your woolen sweater." Rurik said with a smile.
"I'm you and sister, she obviously..."
"You..." Rurik rubbed his head and looked into her eyes: "Ella Hestoria. The name I gave you is not just for you to be the daughter of a nobleman. Heirs to inherit Austria. Duke Stara, your sister is enough, you don’t need to be a shackle to your hometown. I will let you be a bookkeeper, and I will take you to investigate the conditions of Novgorod’s acres soon. I will give you enough Time, now to report to my side."
"It's just that? You...you can say it in the hall." She said with a little puzzled pouting.
"That's fine, don't you want to be alone with me?"
"I...I think. I even!"
"I will satisfy you in the future. Ella, I like you very much, and your wisdom. I tell you what you will do is related to the future of the Principality of Ross. Only you can do the measurement of the land."
Ella still didn't understand, she had already made a series of measuring tools during this period of time, and in front of Rurik declared that the accuracy of the measuring tools, especially the rope ruler, was qualified.
In many female families, Ella was appointed by Rurik to complement mathematics knowledge. In fact, all female families have learned addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and basic algebra operations with digits reaching nine digits. They are familiar with the formula for multiplication. Amazing mental arithmetic ability. Ella, otherwise, Rurik is already instilling knowledge of extreme thinking and calculus in her.
Is tonight just the coexistence of the Grand Duke and the imperial concubine? Rurik listened to her debriefing in the bed, and took the opportunity to instill some abstract mathematical knowledge into her, regardless of whether she understood it or not, she could do it right away, and what awaited her was more powerful knowledge. . Because Ella was appointed by Rurik as the first book official, she must become the founder of the entire civil official system of the Duchy of Ross.
This night, Rurik dictated the question and verified that Ella’s ability to calculate the area of irregular graphics can be perfectly used in the calculation of the area of farmland.
Rurik is full of endless wisdom. He has grown very fast, and now he has everything that a strong man should have. Ella hugged the man tightly, feeling that it was a good booker, so although her status was not as good as Svetlana, at least she could stay by his side and do things for him all the time.
Ella was very pleased. She left the Duke’s dormitory with a smile in the morning, and happened to be pulled aside by Carlotta who was waiting early.
The elder sister forced her to a secret corner.
"Ella, he... did he do it?" Carlotta asked cautiously and straightforwardly.
"No."
"No?! Didn't I tell you? Don't you dare?!"
"Sister." Ella frowned and complained, "I asked you to arrange it, but the lord said I was too young."
"Absurd. Rurik is like a bull in April, eh..." Carlotta looked at his sister's rather flat chest again, "Maybe he is right, you are not as attractive as I am for the time being."
As if being ridiculed, Ella puffed up her cheeks and said, "Rulik said that I am very important. There are some things that only I can do."
"I asked you to measure the acreage? Well, you do it well. It's strange that the family's rejuvenation can't rely on me alone. I have done so many times with him. Why... Ella, listen to me carefully. You and I must Give birth to a boy to inherit the position of duke. If I can't do it, you must do it."
She still didn't understand her sister's troubles, because she was shy and hurriedly hummed her little head without saying more.
Nothing is more important than the revival of Ostara. Carlotta is full of this. She will give birth to a boy. This boy will be the beginning of the revival. but…
Carlota began to wonder if she was robbed of her fertility ability by God. She didn't dare to give up. If she was such a tragedy, her sister would not be cursed by God? She didn't want to give up, and even persuaded her sister to take the initiative immediately.
The sister's Xiao Jiujiu Liurik didn't know it, or had no intention of trying to figure it out.
What is Rurik thinking about writing again? The anticlimactic expedition to Karelia was forcibly ceased in this way. It was September, the muddy autumn rain season in the Eastern European world, so the sailing fleet in Sogong mostly chose to return in October.
"Well, I became the German army in September 1941. The **** mud made it difficult for my army to advance. I must wait until Lake Ladoga becomes a glacial lake in order to fight again..."
Fortunately, the hateful autumn rain finally stopped, and it didn't mean to repeat for a short time.
When the rain stopped completely, the time was already the twentieth day of September in the Julian calendar.
After experiencing this long rain, the world has become too cool, and early risers can see the white mist they spit out when they breathe. The chimneys of many buildings have been smoking frequently. Just after the rain stopped, some people carried an axe to cut wood outside the city to use it as fuel for the fireplace to warm the room.
Late autumn has arrived in Eastern Europe, and Shilla Fort can only feel warm when the sun is shining at noon and afternoon.
What should I do first after the rain stops?
The army that was forced to rest heard the sound of the horns one after another, and the army began to assemble in the restored dry Harvest Square, accepting the inspection of the Duke and all the residents of Shilla Fort.

"You..." Rurik rubbed his head and looked into her eyes: "Ella Hestoria. The name I gave you is not just for you to be the daughter of a nobleman. Heirs to inherit Austria. Duke Stara, your sister is enough, you don’t need to be a shackle to your hometown. I will let you be a bookkeeper, and I will take you to investigate the conditions of Novgorod’s acres soon. I will give you enough Time, now to report to my side."
"It's just that? You...you can say it in the hall." She said with a little puzzled pouting.
"That's fine, don't you want to be alone with me?"
"I...I think. I even!"
"I will satisfy you in the future. Ella, I like you very much, and your wisdom. I tell you what you will do is related to the future of the Principality of Ross. Only you can do the measurement of the land."
Ella still didn't understand, she had already made a series of measuring tools during this period of time, and in front of Rurik declared that the accuracy of the measuring tools, especially the rope ruler, was qualified.
In many female families, Ella was appointed by Rurik to complement mathematics knowledge. In fact, all female families have learned addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and basic algebra operations with digits reaching nine digits. They are familiar with the formula for multiplication. Amazing mental arithmetic ability. Ella, otherwise, Rurik is already instilling knowledge of extreme thinking and calculus in her.
Is tonight just the coexistence of the Grand Duke and the imperial concubine? Rurik listened to her debriefing in the bed, and took the opportunity to instill some abstract mathematical knowledge into her, regardless of whether she understood it or not, she could do it right away, and what awaited her was more powerful knowledge. . Because Ella was appointed by Rurik as the first book official, she must become the founder of the entire civil official system of the Duchy of Ross.
This night, Rurik dictated the question and verified that Ella’s ability to calculate the area of irregular graphics can be perfectly used in the calculation of the area of farmland.
Rurik is full of endless wisdom. He has grown very fast, and now he has everything that a strong man should have. Ella hugged the man tightly, feeling that it was a good booker, so although her status was not as good as Svetlana, at least she could stay by his side and do things for him all the time.
Ella was very pleased. She left the Duke’s dormitory with a smile in the morning, and happened to be pulled aside by Carlotta who was waiting early.
The elder sister forced her to a secret corner.
"Ella, he... did he do it?" Carlotta asked cautiously and straightforwardly.
"No."
"No?! Didn't I tell you? Don't you dare?!"
"Sister." Ella frowned and complained, "I asked you to arrange it, but the lord said I was too young."
"Absurd. Rurik is like a bull in April, eh..." Carlotta looked at his sister's rather flat chest again, "Maybe he is right, you are not as attractive as I am for the time being."
As if being ridiculed, Ella puffed up her cheeks and said, "Rulik said that I am very important. There are some things that only I can do."
"I asked you to measure the acreage? Well, you do it well. It's strange that the family's rejuvenation can't rely on me alone. I have done so many times with him. Why... Ella, listen to me carefully. You and I must Give birth to a boy to inherit the position of duke. If I can't do it, you must do it."
She still didn't understand her sister's troubles, because she was shy and hurriedly hummed her little head without saying more.
Nothing is more important than the revival of Ostara. Carlotta is full of this. She will give birth to a boy. This boy will be the beginning of the revival. but…
Carlota began to wonder if she was robbed of her fertility ability by God. She didn't dare to give up. If she was such a tragedy, her sister would not be cursed by God? She didn't want to give up, and even persuaded her sister to take the initiative immediately.
The sister's Xiao Jiujiu Liurik didn't know it, or had no intention of trying to figure it out.
What is Rurik thinking about writing again? The anticlimactic expedition to Karelia was forcibly ceased in this way. It was September, the muddy autumn rain season in the Eastern European world, so the sailing fleet in Sogong mostly chose to return in October.
"Well, I became the German army in September 1941. The **** mud made it difficult for my army to advance. I must wait until Lake Ladoga becomes a glacial lake in order to fight again..."
Fortunately, the hateful autumn rain finally stopped, and it didn't mean to repeat for a short time.
When the rain stopped completely, the time was already the twentieth day of September in the Julian calendar.
After experiencing this long rain, the world has become too cool, and early risers can see the white mist they spit out when they breathe. The chimneys of many buildings have been smoking frequently. Just after the rain stopped, some people carried an axe to cut wood outside the city to use it as fuel for the fireplace to warm the room.
Late autumn has arrived in Eastern Europe, and Shilla Fort can only feel warm when the sun is shining at noon and afternoon.
What should I do first after the rain stops?
The army that was forced to rest heard the sound of the horns one after another, and the army began to assemble in the restored dry Harvest Square, accepting the inspection of the Duke and all the residents of Shilla Fort.

"The Rise of Rurik !An autumn rain was chilly, and it was aggression like fire. This rain forcibly extinguished the fire in the hearts of the Ross soldiers.They wanted to take advantage of the victories and pursue them to achieve major results before the winter, but the whole world became muddy, and everyone in the damp world quickly lost their fighting spirit.Everyone is full of desire for the expedition to Karelia, hoping to grab a lot of deer in the first battle, but why this battle has such an anticlimactic result?Do not! The situation hasn't gotten so bad.Less than a day after the war on the lakeside was over, the sky was hazy, and rain began to rain within three days.When the army had basically cleaned the battlefield and dug out everything that could be used, the cold autumn rain began.Both the Suomi and the Vips said that once the autumn rain comes, it will be less than five days or more than fifteen days. No one should expect it to end hastily.The Ross people, who know a lot about the Eastern Land and this big lake, are deeply concerned that the world fully soaked by rain will become muddy. Even if it is chasing the enemy, who would be willing to go north in the mud? Unless the world freezes.Over the years, the most traditional Ros people have changed their inherent perceptions. Winter does not mean dormant, it is a new opportunity and an alternative season of war.Where do the Karelians who fled go back? Is it north? Are there other Karelian tribes in the north?The Servants of the Vips pointed to the maze and made all speculations become reality.Because those people will not flee indiscriminately, they will flee to the grazing spot in winter to accumulate strength.Since the enemy will spend the winter in a clear location, the Ruth army, who was forced to miss out on the opponent and the spoils by the bad weather, will no longer be discouraged.The army began to retreat, and various seized spoils began to be transported to the ship.Especially those women who were captured, they were firmly controlled by the Suomi servants, and the Vips servants also got a handful of female prisoners. It is impossible to tie the captives' elbows with ropes. They are slaves in the Karelian community, but their status has improved. The days are still going to pass. After moving to the Western Suomi territory, maybe I can finally live like a normal woman...The Ross Fleet put up a long snake formation and gradually withdrew from this small lake. Lurik announced that he would abandon the conquered lakeside camp. No one opposed this decision.Why did Rose give up a newly conquered area? Rather than giving up, it is better to say that this move is an escape.Before the rain, the Rus army had already burned its own soldiers who died in battle, and Rurik publicly announced that the souls of the deceased had gone to Valhalla with the blue smoke.Both the Suomi and the Vips have lost, and the overall loss is not small. Based on their beliefs, they buried the dead in the war and hoped that their souls would enter the sea of souls underground.Only the enemy's corpse was still lying on its back.The Rus army could not collect the corpses of thousands of Karelians who died in battle. The dead were grouped with the destroyed tents. The corpses had turned gray and their blood turned black. The corpse will rot and smell, will turn into jackal food, and finally turn into bones. This place is full of curses and ominousness. Many people in the cold autumn rain claimed to have heard the wailing of resentful spirits at night.It was actually the call of a night owl on a rainy night, and ordinary soldiers could not care too much, while Rurik simply did not want to continue to be cold in the rain, and the whole army began to retreat.The fleet returned to the town of Bear Festival and arrived in the rain in the only post on the northern shore of Lake Ladoga in the Duchy of Ross.There are only more than 20 elderly Ross veterans who want to stay. They have taken a fancy to the local fishery resources, and they are aptly named as excellent guards for Ross.It's not far from Suomi's hometown, so more than one hundred Suomi decided to stay. This is not only to "guard the frontier for Ross", but to cooperate with the Ross people to fish in Lake Ladoga, and to vent their hatred. This place is a ritual center for Karelians! The oppressed Suomi people will one day build their own houses on the territory of former enemies. It is so fun.It is a great thing that someone is willing to spend the winter in Bear Festival Town, because a batch of trophy reindeer can't be taken away for a while, and they have to stay here and continue to eat grass.This time the fleet will give priority to bringing more than three hundred fawns onto the ship. According to the plan, most of the deer will eventually be brought to Fort Shilla on the Neva River by means of ants. This should be done as far as possible before the lake freezes. .The existence of Bear Sacrifice Town itself is a mockery of all Karelians. She is likely to attract the opponent's crazy attack, which is exactly what the Rus Principality hopes to see. What is a rout? If there is a decoy to lure the enemy's main force into it, the problem can be solved once and for all by annihilating it all in one swoop.There are men and women who remain, and some women prisoners will live with their new men as fishermen. They will continue to build the Bear Festival Town, and at least build a walled city for everyone to hold on in case of unexpected events.In the continuous autumn rain, the Ross fleet continued to descend south along the shoreline of the lake, and the Vips returned to their hometown with a batch of trophies. They set off on an order, and they had not tasted victory this time and finally tasted the taste of victory. Old iron tools regarded as scrap by the Ruths are regarded as treasures by the Vips. A batch of axes, spearheads and iron arrows will quickly improve the lives of the Vips. Life is bound to get better, because although Earl Terravis is a teenager, he is trustworthy. He promised to bring a group of good things into the village in late autumn. That will be many advanced equipment of the Duchy of Ross, and the ambition of a young man.The autumn rain made the Ladoga Lake, which should have entered the dry season, rise in water, and the flow of the Neva River increased slightly. The fleet returned to their assembly area in the rain, and ships large and small anchored in the harbor.The expeditionary army regrouped in Fort Shilla. The Russ, Balmerks and other Viking troops moved into the city. The Suomi servants camped outside the city, where the master-servant relationship was very thorough.The rammed earth road that has been rammed can withstand the short-term rain soaking, but the autumn rain literally lasted for half a month. The Harvest Square that Rurik saw before Yang Changshai Valley has now become muddy.The continuous rainfall has made the residents in the city negative, and the coolness has even diminished the joy of the harvest. The people and the army are staying in their houses, and if there is nothing important, no one wants to go out.At least, because of the need for threshing, growing, and drying, Fengshou Square was rammed with rocks by manpower to make it solid enough. Even if it is muddy, the situation is not terrible.But the situation of other routes in the city is uneven. The Nevsky Prospekt built along the Neva River and the circular road that surrounds the entire city wall have been rammed, and a layer of gravel transported from Kotlin Island is laid and walked here after a long rain. Don't worry about the mud full of boots.The situation of the vertical and horizontal roads in the city is terrible, here is the pool of water everywhere, which satisfies all the bad impressions of the village roads of Rurik.The most worried thing about the returning Rurik was the granary in the center of the city. Even if the road was muddy, he was led by Governor Conuson to conduct a rather careful inspection.This is a morning that is still rainy in autumn, and the whole world is overcast.Although there are no umbrellas that can be opened and closed easily, local residents have made movable sheds out of leather and wooden slats. The four guards held the shed together, and Rurik stood in it, and met Governor Cornuson, who had hurriedly arrived, in front of the Ducal Palace."You are late.""My lord, if I hadn't seen the light outside, I thought it was still night." Conuson defended, and then he set up almost: "It has been some time since the army has entered the city. I know that many people are leaving, but The weather is terrible.""Oh? Are you driving me away?"Konuzon was taken aback, and hurriedly explained: "I don't dare. I heard that the old duke will spend the winter in Novgorod this year. The two chiefs of the duchy sit in the west and east. Shilla Fort is absolutely safe. .""It's okay. Many people in the army are going to leave, but let me remind you that I will leave with a batch of wheat. This **** rain has directly disrupted the pace of the conquest. I warn you, if the wheat gets wet, you will Punished. Very severe punishment!""Yes! I dare not neglect, I dare to promise with honor that even continuous heavy rain will not let the wheat get wet."Rurik shrugged: "I hope. But your road construction is not doing well, look at this harvest square... Pray, pray that it will end before the rain makes the mud worse."Conuson smiled awkwardly: "I will continue to send someone to flatten it in the future.""Of course you have to level it, but all the roads in the square and the city will be replaced by stone or concrete roads. Don't think you have great abilities. Only I can do this. Your biggest responsibility now and in the future is Be optimistic about the granary and put an end to the fire. Let me tell you, the granary here is related to the lives of our Ross people! If something goes wrong, even if you have a hundred heads, you won't be enough brothers!"Rurik said very heavily, although Conusson didn't understand it very well, since the Duke said that there must be some truth in it, so just do his own thing.Of course, only managing the granary, Cornusson can indeed pat his chest and say that he has not let everyone down, and he will not be in the future.This inspection is not a pretentious one. These very Novgorod-style fence-style woodcuts make the granary that is already in the middle of the city taller. The wheat is either a tax collected or a tribute from Novgorod, especially the output of the destroyed Pine Needle Manor this year.The sacks are like bricks and stones stacked like a city wall, and each sacks is stuffed with 200 pounds of oat grains, so that the sacks are filled with all the granaries, and the warehouses that used to be vacant are now almost filled.On the surface, everything seems to be normal for the food, but the air has the fragrance of earth, and the air here is a bit humid.Rurik suddenly drew his sword and pierced it at the "grain wall" in front of him.Both sides of the dagger are bloodletting grooves, because Rose has advanced forged steel sword technology, the sword highlights the effectiveness of assassination without chopping, the blade is narrow and the bloodletting groove is deeper, which has the effect of a grain spy.The dagger was pulled out, and the bloodletting trough was filled with intact oatmeal grains.Rurik touched it with his hands, especially chewing pellets."Very good, the depths of the sacks are dry when going out. You have done your duty."Cornu Pine's noodles did not change color, after all, this matter could not be out of the question. He flattered: "Congratulations, my lord, this year we have a great harvest, and our food has never been more pure and abundant..."It is also true that what the Governor said is flattery.Rurik inspected all the granaries, and this time he deeply felt the security of hitting the soul.Food is the life of the people and the root of the Duchy of Ross.Fence-like wooden buildings can be insulated from water to a large extent. The roof is made of leather and attached with thatch and shingles. They will be no problem for three to four years. However, the permanent granary still has to be transferred to a masonry building. The roof can be made of leather with a waterproof layer, and tiles made of clay must be provided.Shilla Fort must once again set off a construction boom. The buildings in key parts of the city will be improved first. The most important thing is to build a better road system. Therefore, the biggest question is who will provide the construction funds. The so-called servitude that is forcing the people to build can be done. If the people are paid enough for food, they will work happily. In this way, the importance of granary and grain is above all else.Yuliq was very satisfied with the inspection of the granary, and he could have deeper thinking about this matter.The rain continued to fall outdoors, and the Duke's palace was still very lively.The wife Svetlana is here, the sisters Carlota and Ella are here, and the ten maids are here.These thirteen people have a common identitythe Duke's wife.Although they were respectful and orderly, everyone also hoped that Duke Rurik could pamper themselves. But now, only Svetlana has the right to be intimacy with Master Rurik at will.Tonight is an accident!No matter how rich and powerful, a person's sleeping place is just a cramped bed.Ella was ordered to arrive at Fort Shilla with ten sisters for almost a month. After the Duke ordered a natural mission, he led soldiers to fight north.The Duke has been back for many days, Sister Svetlana was ordered to leave, tonight I got this opportunity for myself, is it...She was nervous and nervous, because in Roseburg she had already experienced the coming-of-age ceremony in accordance with the Viking tradition.She knelt down in front of Rurik, took off her wool gown shyly, and was stopped when she wanted to get the soft linen lining next to her body."My lord, I... Am I not worthy to be a woman...""I guess what you want to do, the time is still immature. The room is still a bit cold, put on your woolen sweater." Rurik said with a smile."I'm you and sister, she obviously...""You..." Rurik rubbed his head and looked into her eyes: "Ella Hestoria. The name I gave you is not just for you to be the daughter of a nobleman. Heirs to inherit Austria. Duke Stara, your sister is enough, you don't need to be a shackle to your hometown. I will let you be a bookkeeper, and I will take you to investigate the conditions of Novgorod's acres soon. I will give you enough Time, now to report to my side.""It's just that?
