The Principality of Ross has ushered in the harvest of 836, and all the labor force and even the children are also engaged in the intense harvest work.

Novgorod, Novgorod, Mstisk, Youth City, Novgorodna, and all the Slav farms around Lake Ilmen are full of people harvesting crops, and there are good harvests everywhere. joy.

Drilling planting once again proves that it is smarter than the past extensive planting mode. The wheat ears of oats, wheat and even rye are standing in line like a military line, and it is easy to harvest wheat.

The long-handled scythe was manipulated by a strong man, and the wheat stalks were cut round and pushed aside, forming a raised "wheat mound".

Women and children followed, **** the straw containing wheat ears and stood on the field, then pulled it with a trolley to the nearest shared threshing ground, and was smashed by wooden chain shackles.

The Slavs used the most traditional method of harvesting operations without major technological innovations to speed up. In contrast, Ross and other Viking immigrants have to learn how to harvest from these local farmers.

At this most critical moment, Rurik is most worried about the disaster of an untimely autumn rain that will reduce grain production, and he does not want rain to occur during the threshing period. What he can do is to mobilize the labor force as much as possible, and to do it himself, and even just swipe the chain yoke and sweat like rain on the threshing floor shirtless.

He is doing a show, not a show.

As a prince, he is essentially the largest landlord in the Principality. He has seized a batch of laborious and very good farmland along the lake, and because of the concept of superiority, his acre yield is the highest.

Rurik is currently uncertain about the machinery to accelerate the harvest, but he knows the basic principles of increasing wheat production better than everyone else.

It was a wooden box mounted on a wheelbarrow, and it contained stinking feces and urine that had been diluted with water and fermented. There is a wooden pipe at the lower end of the wooden box, which allows the turbid liquid to flow directly to the wheat rhizomes to complete the precise fertilization of the wheat arranged in strips.

If it were not for the prince to pay a sum of money, the mercenaries would not be willing to do this kind of work that feels meaningless and will make themselves embarrassing. This is a very primitive farmyard manure, and it is also another method that Lurik thought of besides digging the silt of Lake Ilmen, and in terms of effect, the "feces tactics" are better.

Because he has no shortage of "suppliers", the huge school is a perfect source. If boy urine is really a thing of great yang, it can make wheat grow wild and produce high yields. In order to cope with the fertilization of a large number of farmland, manure and urine must be piled up in one place to become a huge manure pit. The manure is fermenting, which can make the crops absorb nitrogen fertilizer smoothly. It's strange to stick on the soil.

It's nitrate, something Rurik noticed!

Soil nitrate is one of the by-products of manure fermentation operations, and its military value is only known to Rurik, but in reality, what the Principality needs most is fertilizer. This kind of soil nitrate does not quantify the demand for production. It is used as a compound. Fatty can improve the fertility of farmland.

The real results are in sight, but all wheat fields that have been sown with this kind of primary farm manure have high yields that are visible to the naked eye, and the increase in production seems to have reached 20%. This effect is strong enough, because many Slavic people admire him, and another rumor that is beneficial to Rurik is also spreading-the prince has received the help of the gods, and his wheat fields are incredibly high-yielding.

In the past summer, in order to meet the teaching needs of schools that have begun to take shape, wood type printing continued to appear very low-key.

The local woodworkers in Novgorod collected some oak scraps for shipbuilding according to the requirements, processed small squares with the same length and width, and then carved mirror-like emboss on them. The text is divided into two types of letters, the Roman alphabet and the Nordic traditional Runic. In fact, compared to carving Latin letters with a certain arc, the horizontal and vertical letters of Rune are most suitable for the current carving ability of woodworking.

Woodworkers are learning at work, and they are also happy to complete the tasks proposed by the prince. It is because the man prince is willing to pay a lot of money, and the precision work is worth more wheat rewards.

Each letter has a corresponding large number of wood type, and some pure punctuation marks.

As for the printing press, when Rurik made a lever manual press for glassware in Roseburg's hometown, the idea of ​​making a printing press was brewed by Rurik.

The wooden lever system, metal bolts, and leather cushions are pieced together to form the core components of the printing machine, and then placed on the wooden table, a manual pressure printing machine is completed.

It has a simple structure, and some problems occurred in the preliminary printing experiment, but they are all reflected in the unevenness of the wooden pressure plate, and all the wood type blocks are completed, and the overall tolerance is too large. The above is all small problems in the final analysis. The solution is very simple, which is to use sandpaper (coarse paper coated with loose glue and a layer of fine sand) as a whole.

As a result, female hired workers engaged in papermaking have a new job-printing.

The first state-owned printing workshop in the Principality also emerged in a very low-key atmosphere.

Rurik had no intention of publicizing it with a big fanfare, and at the beginning, only a few people thought that this machine was advanced. There is nothing to share common happiness with Rurik than his wives and concubines, who compile teaching materials and sort out data and information together, who need a lot of time for paper and pen work!

With the printing press, copy work becomes redundant.

Who is in charge of the printing workshop, Rurik did not hesitate to pull his concubine Ella Hestoria over.

Strictly speaking, this young girl has been separated from her mother's clan. She was given a surname called "History". The value of her existence in the principality is a series of information about the principality. She is a librarian. She is a quiet girl, unlike her sister Carlotta's bravery. Carlota is also pleased to take on this quiet job.

The information boards compiled by Veria, the late high priest of the Principality of Ross, were copied into paper documents. It has two types: Rune alphabet and Roman alphabet.

It was this summer that the "History" of the Ross people was published immediately. The Rune version printed original Gnostic documents, and the Roman alphabet version printed three versions of Gnoss, Cyrillic, and Latin.

All four editions are being printed, and the mass-produced paper is immediately useful.

People who lack entertainment immediately have reading materials at hand. The history of the Rus tribe is printed on thin paper. Some of these stories immediately arouse people's memories. Now Rurik has no worries about the sale of the paper. The family from Ross's hometown are willing to buy it, and keep this document at home to educate the cubs on the glory of their ancestors.

Finally, the Roman alphabet version of the documents flowed into the school one after another, and it became the first mass-produced printed textbook. Also relying on this kind of teaching materials, the children's learning efficiency of Gnostic, Cyrillic and Latin is significantly improved!

Relying on the printed "History" to learn about Ross's past, glorious victory in war, further consolidate the sanctity of the Rurik family, and even become the key to creating a "unified Russian nation", and it also strengthens language learning. The printed "Mathematics" was also put into use at the end of the summer, and it was all about teaching children simple arithmetic.

Near the wheat harvest, the school held its first examination since its establishment under the auspices of Rurik.

The so-called exam, what Rurik promoted to the outside world was the term "competitive martial arts" in the Norse language.

This suddenly attracted the attention of all Viking immigrants. Many people rumored that the prince wanted the children to compete and fight, select the best from them, and later be incorporated into the flag team to become a good fighter.

The examination is of course comprehensive. The Principality is in this period of great historical change, especially when the external contradictions are quite fierce, and internal contradictions will inevitably breed in the territory that is too rapidly expanding. The Principality needs to develop its armed forces, mobilize all its combat capabilities, and conduct a unified ideological education, such as venerating the seven gods and admiring the flag of Ross as a holy thing.

That is a three-day exam.

On the first day, the so-called uniformly printed test papers are in front of you. The first test of "History" is the ten test questions written in Latin to test whether the children understand the names of the past wars in the Duchy of Ross. , Do you understand the noble status of Prince Rurik.

In the second scene, three sentences were simply written in Gnoss, Cyrillic and Latin on a piece of paper at the same time. Children who have the ability to write more will be rewarded with wheat and honey in kind.

The third test is really "Mathematics". Compared with other subjects, only this subject is the most rigorous, and it is also a highlight of Rurik's teaching work. The exam tests the children's calculation ability, especially the mastery of the multiplication table. In the first semester of general education, Lulik only needs the children to master the basic mental arithmetic skills. Next year, they will strengthen their numerical calculation skills.

The second and third days were all physical and military tests.

The children ran by age, so-called running around the lower lanes of Novgorod, and the top ten of each age group had a physical reward of wheat. This is a truly unique sport. Children who have been trained in physical fitness every day have completed this assessment, and the best of them received a reward at the finish line.

The one-on-one martial arts duel that people are quite expecting does not exist, but the queue marching performed by the children in the threshing floor has attracted thousands of people. They are only eight-year-old children. If this is given to them for another ten years, wouldn't all the brave soldiers standing here? Look at them, the queue walks neatly, although the faces are immature, the bravery is already showing.

There are currently three types of real martial arts assessments: splitting wood with an axe, shooting a target with a bow, and shooting a target with a crossbow.

The three-day test is like a sports meeting, and those with outstanding performance are rewarded in kind such as food.

People who lacked fun were all onlookers, and even the people of the Slavic farms in the distance gathered in Novgorod upon hearing the news. More than 10,000 people swarmed into this city in an instant, and the total population suddenly rushed to 20,000!

In this way, the city fair has become more lively, and the examination has created a wave of "sports games economy".

This happened on the eve of the autumn harvest. Novgorod's bazaar raided the sale of ironware that was helpful for the harvest. The Union of Blacksmiths and Prince Rurik took the opportunity to also make a fortune.

The people who went to the city to watch the theater saw the unique style of the two thousand children trained by the prince. The children were all about the same age. Both men and women were vigorous and strong, and there was a clear difference in appearance from their own cubs. The child wears completely uniform clothes. If the girl's gown is longer and resembles a skirt, it will be difficult to see the gender. They are also cleaner and tidier. Everyone in the queue is chanting chants, and the whole queue changes formation, even their kicks and arms are exactly the same!

Children who have experienced a spring and summer training immediately burst into combat power in the autumn harvest work. They are young, but their physical abilities far exceed the expectations of their biological parents.

The global autumn harvest work ended victoriously, followed by the taxation work of Lurik began.

836 is a good year that everyone can sigh. On the one hand, the rains this year were normal. Although there was a short haze during the autumn harvest, there was no rainfall at all. Even people transported the wheat back to the granary, and the heavens were still beautiful.

In mid-September, all the preparatory work was completed, and the taxation work was first carried out in Novgorod, Novgorod, Mstisk and Youth City. Almost all Viking immigrants live in these areas, and the Eleventh Tax on food will not be in conflict. The tax rate is high and high, but the various Viking immigrants go fishing and hunting during the slack period of the farming period. There is almost no tax in this respect. Viking families have more open source methods and are able to get more wealth.

And the large group of Slavs in the White Tree Manor in Novgorod, imposing heavier agricultural taxes on them, obviously will not arouse anger. As the first batch of Slavic slaves, the labor force of the manor was purchased by Rurik. They were organized to do a variety of handicraft industries, and the wealth created was significantly higher than that of simply farming.

Rurik did not choose to overdraft his power. The eleven tax was the eleven tax, and the tax was paid on the hectares of last year, and the tax was collected according to the scale book. At the same time, the fish scale list will also add the area and the owner of the newly reclaimed fields this year.

As a prince, he stayed in Novgorod for a long time, but the capital of the Principality is obviously Shilla Fort.

The tax collection of Shilla Fort is entirely carried out by the Governor-General Konuzon and his sons. As a family entrusted to rule, they have the right to take away a portion of the tax in proportion to maintain the local finances.

At present, the former site of Fort Rose, Elon Fort in the North, Tombstone Island, and Fort Shilla Roosevelt are operating under this kind of governor’s entrusted rule. The merchant class and the industrialist class also shuttle through these large settlements that rely heavily on marine transportation. The interests of these classes are deeply bound to the governor and princes.

If there is a problem with this system, it is not the current problem. Lurik knows that he really needs Novgorod and the Central Ilmen Lake, the source of agricultural and handicraft raw materials. Vgorod is the real capital.

Indeed, the food production in this lake area alone is sufficient to ensure that the people of the Principality of Russ do not go hungry, at least for the time being, the per capita wheat share is extremely gratifying.

From the student exams in early August in the Julian calendar, to the harvest, threshing, and warehousing work throughout August, as well as the completion of taxation in mid-September~www.novelhall.com~The people are busy all day long. The prince's Rurik can be said to be busy at the beginning of the year until the end of the year.

"After all, I became a hardworking Yongzheng, and it's time for me to take a good rest when winter comes."

The prince is by no means a greedy person. In the eyes of the world, the prince Rurik is broken for the development of the Principality. Rurik also has this year’s distance wealth, the total amount of wheat from the national and domestic money, because of the absolute expansion of the land area, the smooth weather and the increase in production, the wheat tax in Novgorod alone has reached it. At the level of 5 million pounds, the figure last year was 4 million pounds.

A major reason for the overall increase in taxes by 20% is that more people who are hiding are caught. After all, Medvedt was rough. He took his brothers into the forest to find someone, and forced the villagers to immigrate to the fertile land of the lake.

It is a good thing to have the right to reclaim the lakeside area, but their acres in the forest were searched flatteringly by Medvedt to please the prince. The subordinates are indeed rough, and the food in hand is like an unexpected joy, and Rurik didn't want to vomit it out, and praised Medved as the loyal minister of the Principality. Anyway, those who were picked out left enough rations and planting food, and the agricultural surplus is even if they buy the qualifications for reclamation by the lake.
