Preliminary integration of statistical data has been completed. Even if a careful inspection of the large number of wood-bearing boards can make the data more accurate, the statistical results of the four thousand hectares of farmland are already firmly established.

The people of White Tree Manor knew that the strongest Pine Needle Manor ever had the most and best acres, and Rigus knew this well, but after he learned the statistics from his daughter Svetlana, he was still swaying in detail.

Rigus has always been acting only conscientiously, but in fact he is an old fox.

Medveite, his son, who was the governor of the governorship, confessed to his own speculation: "The fields in Rurik's hands are sufficient to feed the Ross people. Obviously, the tribute we will pay in the future will not be increased. This is a chance for us to make a fortune. I want you to open up more wasteland next year, cut down big trees, and expand new fields to the big lake. You will bring people to dig more wells so that we can fetch more water and use it..."

Medvedt took it seriously.

The Viking population of Rose has enough acres to feed himself, and Otto learned this gratifying result from his son.

Otto did not smile. He is considered the pioneer of a new era, but he lacks a systematic understanding of the facts of farming, and lacks a concept of food production. He tacitly assumes that every year farmers can usher in a bumper harvest.

Otto was in a bad mood, and the cold season had finally arrived.

The haze is over Novgorod, and the whole world is gray. The once warm wind disappeared, and the north wind began to roar, like a knife, forcing people who wandered outdoors to hide in their homes.

Including the domestic chickens raised by local Slavic families, they all rushed back to the hay-reinforced pens.

The north wind roared outdoors, and there seemed to be a heavy snow approaching.

Rurik and his dependents stayed in the warm woodcut. The wall that had been built became a complete barrier for the first time, greatly weakening the coldest wind and cold sweeping Novgorod.

Every household is burning charcoal in a clay stove for heating, and there is no need to worry about carbon monoxide poisoning. Their houses are in fact riddled with holes, with countless small holes for ventilation, and the strength of keeping warm is not strong.

The residence of the Rigus family is still the residence of the duke, Otto made it his home, and Rurik was so casual.

What can Rigus complain about? On the contrary, he desperately hoped that Rurik could hurry up and get close to his little daughter. It would be best if the little daughter had a big belly in spring, so that the last thoughts of his life would be fulfilled, and he would have no regrets in this life.

It was another sumptuous grilled fish meal. Otto sat on the wooden floor casually, flicking his teeth with fish ribs, and glanced at the leftovers of the table from time to time.

He glanced at the leisurely Reurik again: "It looks like the snow is about to fall. Your mother and his party may not have a chance to arrive here. The fleet can only dock at Shilla Fort. It's a pity."

Rurik sat up slightly: "Dad, you are actually looking forward to Velika."

"Of course, that's your daughter, but I'm the one who takes care of her. Look at this bad weather. When the river freezes, my hope is shattered. I can only stay here and stare at your face until the snow melts... …"

Rurik couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "It won't happen. They must be on the way here."

"Oh? Have you been inspired?"

"Yes...Yes. It will be here soon!"

"Forget it, it's just a comforting word. You can continue to lie down, I just want to lie down in this bad weather."

The haze and wind-cold weather made people feel depressed. At this moment, the hometown of Roseburg and the depths of the Gulf of Bothnia were frozen, and the river near Elonburg further north was covered by thin ice. The situation in Novgorod is a little better, but Lake Ilmen has already begun to freeze.

In the dry season, the Volkhov River is still flowing quietly, and a large fleet is moving upstream.

Niya arrived in this far east for the first time with her granddaughter. She was already an old woman. She recently visited Fort Shilla in the Principality and was shocked by the regular roads, the extremely flat Harvest Square and Nevsky Prospekt.

Velika, inherited the name of the high priest Velia, the planned destiny is Velia's successor.

She is a little girl with brown hair, with a slightly flattened face than other Rose girls, which makes her look a little different.

She is about to be two years old and is the jewel in the palm of her mother and grandma. As a grandfather, Otto also cherishes this child extremely.

This was Velika’s first boat ride, and it was the Sperosville. There is a wooden sculpture on the bow of the big ship, and there is a small box under it. What is placed is a pinch of white hair of the late priest Veria.

"Child, face the cold wind. You are not afraid of the cold, not afraid of the sea..." Niya is willing to stand on the bow deck with her granddaughter, and is willing to watch her granddaughter's immature hands stroke the idol on the bow of the ship.

There seems to be a spiritual connection in the dark, that is, the old priest Veria, who turned into a Valkyrie, secretly gave her true successor, this little girl, a certain kind of supernatural power.

For example, extreme longevity.

Indeed, the old priest Veria passed away at an incredible age. Her life witnessed the decline, wandering, and even the final uprising of Rose. No one knows in what year the old priest was born. She must have passed away at the age of eighty, so this little girl should also enjoy such a long life.

How does Veria know this?

The people in their hometown know that the Duke will spend the winter in a better East, and it is inevitable that they will feel lost. This is inevitable! Everyone knows that Ross will immigrate to Shilla Fort and warmer areas, and the duke and his son are in the east, maybe they don't plan to come back.

"What about this year's sacrifice! Why should I stay here to preside over the sacrifice of Roseburg." Lumia shed tears secretly, but she still had to stuff her crying daughter to her mother-in-law Niya with a smile.

Before the freezing, the fleet entered Roseburg with a large amount of eastern wheat. The Balmerks who disembarked even yelled at Roseburg, chanting the Duke of Rose’s new victory, and promoted the long-lasting friendship with Rose.

Going to Spuyut in Britain also had significant gains. Despite the serious shrinkage of the country, King Ernred of Northumbria, with the broken arm, paid tribute to the Viking conquerors.

Spuyute completed the task, and they did not encounter the Danish obstruction on the way back. The small fleet stuffed a batch of spring wheat into Rurik's warehouse. He came back earlier, and after a while to rest, he took the brothers who had explored with him to the north again. Because the permanent camp in Murmansk is about to usher in the feast of hunting and plundering walrus tusks. The group of them will wait in Fort Elon until the world is covered by snow, and then take the prepared supplies and ride on the reindeer sleigh to continue north.

The second child of the Gould family, the "Blue Fox", in Hezeby, Denmark, also inquired about important information. It was rumored that Horrick Haraksson, who was in exile, returned to Denmark with his Frankish army in a few days.

The eldest of the Gould family, "White Fox", is in charge of the family's old business. They hold the right to sell the main products of the Duchy of Ross in the West. "White Fox" Snoreva succeeded the old man. The oats produced near Lake Laren returned to Roseburg triumphantly.

This year's wheat harvest season is very special. The "white fox" does not even need to go to the Birka Bazaar on the huge Lake Mälaren to do business in person.

She started tapping iron at the beginning of the year in the town of Ironforge, a satellite city of Roseburg, built by the Principality of Ross near her hometown.

New blast furnaces are in production throughout the year, and the idle labor force of the entire Roseburg has found a partner. Pig iron and bronze casting products have long been able to meet their own needs, and Ross has begun to continuously sell iron products to the Swedes in Lake Mälaren, and the scale has surpassed the previous ones.

At the Tombstone Island in the Åland Islands at the crossroads of the sea, the flag of Ross is always flying on the towers of the wooden fortress.

Below the fortress is a new bazaar. Ships transporting Ross's metal, glass, and leather products first stopped at Tombstone Island. Merlaren merchants who couldn't wait were already waiting.

Tombstone Island Port clearly has the potential to eclipse Sweden's Birka Port, and the situation is indeed developing like this. "White Fox" found that he could complete most of the transactions on Tombstone Island, which really saved a lot of time.

But there is the Ross Trading Company in the port of Birka, where mainly wine sellers are still working. The "white fox" needs to allocate staff to continue to look after the trading company, which sells spirits, ale, fruit wine, and even flavored wine. The trading company is actually a wedge embedded in the core area of ​​Sweden. Selling alcohol and negotiating large transactions with local businessmen are important tasks. Inquiring about intelligence is also another task.

The times have always been moving in a direction that is beneficial to Ross. In the past harvest season, a team of more than 200 immigrants decided to leave the Yilmalun tribe where they have lived for generations.

When someone decided to leave, Duke Wenderson was really powerless to stop it. The immigrants included the Yilmalen and Gran. The strength of these small Swedish tribes was wounded again after the conquest of Denmark. Although the leader had the title of duke, it would be equivalent to a swollen face and a fat man. The strength that the duke should have.

All of this is simply the ruthless scheme of the Ross people!

The men took in the Aostara refugees back then, and they took the young women away out of good intentions, and now these women have almost all given birth to two children.

In order to get more ironware, the Yilmalun people naturally want to buy cheaper Roth ironware. Compared with silver coins, since the Roth people prefer wheat, everyone will bring wheat to barter. They squeezed out their own agriculture in exchange for the industrial products of the Rus people, and for them they were in a high trade deficit. All this is probably worth it. The people of Yilmalun need better and cheaper Ross ironware, especially the high-priced Quyuan plough, to increase their agricultural output.

When the close contact with each other began, the news that the Duchess of Ostara opened up a peaceful and peaceful land in the East deeply irritated these Yilmalun people.

They already knew about this, and for various reasons, it took great courage to give up their own fields and go to the unknown east.

Unexpectedly, the women in the family could no longer bear it, and Yilmallen was not home. The Duke of Ross married the Duchess of Ostara, who was the last Ostara asylum.

Haven't some people already given up everything and went to the East?

This has finally married the man who married the Ostara female refugees. They were convinced of the strength of Rose, and sold their farmland, livestock and poultry after the harvest season, with their wives and children and rations, and even greeted their companions to immigrate together. . They claimed that they were Ostrala people, and rowed their boats to Tombstone Island. The original plan was to wait until the spring to continue their operations.

A huge blessing has come to this group of immigrants, and a huge fleet has to reach the east before the ocean freezes!

Fort Rose, Fort Elon Olava, Fort Fisk, Covenstad, Narvik, Helminki, Port of Tombstone Island, these cities directly managed or controlled by Ross, they all have their own Economy, even if the frozen sea will block each other, cities can live their lives on their own.

And doesn't the frozen world also provide the way? The large number of reindeer raised by Rose will pull the sled to keep the cities in communication with each other.

Lu Mia and the people left behind watched the fleet set sail again on the icy seashore, her tears slowly dried up, and sorrow was written on her face.

The stationed Haro Zuosen quietly appeased the high priest of the Principality: "Don't be sad, you will also go to the east soon. Rurik will definitely build a new temple in the east, which is why he wants to take Velika to the east."

Lumia nodded her head as if she didn't understand, referring to what silently watched the fleet disappear into the undulating gray sea...

In the winter of Roseburg and prosperity, the Duke’s family took a group of servants to the east. Roseburg’s mines were still being excavated, large and small furnaces had been emitting black smoke, charcoal workers had been working, and a large number of pine trees had been felled.

After the construction of the two new Aphrora-class battleship hulls and the attached jibs were completed, they waited to be pushed and pulled outdoors after the snowfall, waiting for the giant cedar in the north to install the masts in place.

As for the Hotra family, the master shipbuilder, the "Order" sent back by Rurik happened to have requirements for the Hotra family.

They were masters at building Kirk (traditional cargo ships), but now they have accumulated a lot of experience in building high-speed sailing ships.

For the time being, there is no need for the Ross Fleet to expand its warships. On the contrary, there is a substantial increase in demand for freight transport. An armed cargo ship should be built on a large scale. Transport goods in peacetime and take part in the battle during wartime. Each ship's bow and stern can be equipped with a torsion slingshot.

Rurik’s letter is very long, mentioned in the traditional industries of metallurgy, shipbuilding, weapons, leather, glassware, soap, hemp textiles, and glassware. Others who have worn out their feet in Novgorod personally survey the fields, and it is impossible to ignore the money-making industry in Roseburg's hometown.

His remote control command is now efficient. After all, the Viking population in the Principality of Ross is very precious. Before, they didn’t have enough labor positions and opportunities in Roseburg. Now men, women, and even children work all year round, and the gains are also very impressive. economic benefit. They will not be troubled by their own interests.

The Lurikben plan allows most of the family and servants to arrive in Novgorod this year to meet Otto's retirement needs. Things are far beyond his cognition.

A group of old guys from the Second Banner Team who were supposed to go hunting in the north. They knew that the young people from the First Banner Team were plundering the squirrel resources near the lake. How could they not grasp the opportunity to make a fortune? When they returned to their hometown, they took their young sons and even grandsons on the boat. Originally, these cubs were also small subordinates trained by Rurik. The next generation of Ross fighters should hunt in a new world under the guidance of adults to exercise their physique.

As for the more than two hundred immigrants who claimed to be the Ostala people, they had no turning back when they landed on Tombstone Island. They boarded a large ship and successfully arrived at the magnificent Fort Shilla.

Although very peculiar, a large group of newcomers disembarked and accepted Governor Knudson's management. The old guys of the Second Banner team called them brothers and sisters, and the Mellaren Banner team mixed in them immediately wanted to go hunting in the unknown forest.

The guys who claim to be Ostras meet the real Ostras. It’s strange that it’s really weird. Now that the women meet and chat to confirm their identities, the real Ostras are now the real Ostras. Tara.

It's just the Duchess of Ostara, who is still in Novgorod.

The Ostarans cannot but imagine that whether it is Carlotta or Ella, they are the wives of the Duke of Rose. They are all reaching their age, and maybe when everyone sees this noble sister again next year, they will have their stomachs straightened out. At least the fluttering bull head banner of the Ostala people can gather up to six hundred people, including children.

Although the weather is cold and the sea and river are clearly about to freeze, people who first arrive in Shilla Fort will be impressed by the majesty of the city. The tall wooden walls refresh the new immigrants' recognition, and a beautiful new life will begin here.

At the same time, there are no traces of Ostara in Sweden, but all those who have a relationship with relatives or in-laws have gone to the east.

The main force of the fleet was moored at the Shilla Fortress. A small fleet crashed into the ice floes and rushed directly into Lake Ladoga. They continued to collide with the gradually thickening ice. The wind goes all the way south.

Young Velika is bathed in the north wind. She is a Rus and also has deer breeders. Since they are all ethnic groups who are not afraid of wind and snow, she should face the cold directly.

Of course Niya wouldn't let her granddaughter be strong, and bathing in the cold wind was a temporary act.

Velika can already say some simple sentences, and she can walk quickly even if she is on the ground.

She grew up very quickly, just as a father, how did Rurik have a lot of time to take care of her first child in the past two years. Even though Veria is instinctive, she prays for her father to hug her well.

Xiao Lu Mi accompanied the high priest Lu Mia, and Sepolawa went to Elronburg to reunite with her biological father for the winter.

There are also two female relatives of Rülik on the fleet, the Queen Mary of Northumbria who looks like she is about to give birth with a big belly, and Noren who comes with musical instruments.

John Invar, a Danish teacher who is a Latin teacher, is the servant of the team. Together with the maids from Britain, they have been on the boat for twenty days. Where is the head? John is dressed in the clothes of a Ross man, with a small cross hanging around his neck. Even if he reaches the edge of the earth, he is willing to maintain his faith. Maybe it is not absolute. He has evolved into someone new and new when he is confused.

A handful of guards guarding these nobles, besides the thickening of the ice, is a threat along the way. Fortunately, the Aphrora-class ships have bronze horns, and they all have a certain degree of ice-breaking ability, which was unimaginable before.

The bulbous bow is a collision angle. It hits thin ice so that the entire cabin can clearly hear the squeaking sound. People who are used to it have forgotten their fear.

The fleet appeared suddenly but it was reasonable, and Rurik's prediction finally got a realistic reply.

The hazy sky seemed to be snowing heavily, and the rustle of the pine forests on both sides of the river was a little frightening.

Some people who had been logging forcibly saw the distant fleet, and news of joy spread quickly to the city of Novgorod, which had almost entered hibernation.

Who would dare to shrink into a hibernating bear now?

Of course, many Ross people dress up like a bear.

The capable mercenaries wore war armor, and finally wrapped themselves in bearskin, with the bear's head as a helmet on the skull.

The Slavic flag team began to assemble urgently. Medvete has trained the team for so long. It is now to welcome the nobles from afar!

The Slavic flag team, some of the old guys from the Second Flag team, and mercenary troops marched out of the city aggressively, standing in line by the pier.

The flag of Ross was fluttering in the wind, and Ross's soldiers were neatly and straight as loose.

At least Otto still has the strength to stand up and walk around. He is old and old. Now he puts on his armor and puts on a bearskin. At first glance, his majesty is beyond words, and his outfit perfectly covers the core of aging.

Rülik is completely white, his wife and concubine are exactly the same, they are all furry, and the white polar bear skin is also the perfect warm clothing.

Winter life meant boring for the people of White Tree Manor, but now there is an event, even if it is cold, everyone is willing to come out.

Thousands of people stood by the river, and Rurik stood in the most conspicuous position. He took off his hat and looked north, letting his golden pony tail flutter in the wind. cold? It's really cold. But when I think of my mother and daughter coming by, I don’t feel cold.

The report of the messenger was completely true. Soon after people gathered on the riverside, the sails of the fleet became very eye-catching. The towering mast is flying the flag of Rose, this is the Spellosville, and the idol on the bow of her ship is unique, and she has made her identity clear early.

At the same time, Niya held her granddaughter and saw the crowd in the distance, and also saw at least twenty flying Ross flags~www.novelhall.com~Child, your father is there. "Niya coaxed Little Vilia, and her shriveled hands pointed at the crowd.

"father?"

"Yes! Dad."

"I, I want Dad."

Velika began to become excited, she had become heavy, and it was also uncomfortable to hold her Niya for a long time. She was supported by Niya and stood directly on the hollow of the side railing. She stared at the approaching crowd with her big eyes, and seemed to be searching for the crowd.

The big ship is about to call at the port, the Spellosville docked first, and the subsequent sail destroyers dropped anchor on the spot.

It was a thought from the soul, Velika saw her father.

"Dad! Daddy!" The crisp shouts simply overwhelmed the noise of the onlookers.

That is the daughter! A little cute, with the same ponytail as himself.

Standing on the trestle bridge, Rurik hurriedly walked over, and his subordinates followed up with a rocker. When the rocker was hung on the side of the ship, Ruriek ran aboard the ship quickly. He felt that he owed his daughter, so he held her in his arms.

What a cozy scene, the onlookers cheered, and the soldiers present beat and beat their shields uniformly.

As if all this was prepared for the little Velika.
