The tall and long wooden wall made Kagan think of a legend. According to legend, the Roman wall of Theodosius was tall and long. Could the city of Novgorod be the same as Constantinople in Rome?

In the concept of the son of the prairie, the concept of "city" is a very vague concept. If the people who live in a cluster are large enough, the big tent of the alliance can also be regarded as a city. Tents in the mountains and plains rose up by the Volga River. There was a bazaar for herdsmen's trade and a residence for Khan and priests. The whole tribal alliance was willing to come.

There are always herds of cattle and sheep wandering around the big tent area. The large number of livestock raised by the people is the source of food and clothing for everyone. These animals always eat the pasture cleanly, forcing the big tent area to walk along the river every few years. Move once.

The Ross people are not at all that kind of free and happy lifestyle!

Snow covered a lot of flat land. It is said that a few months ago, the ground was still full of wheat. The Ross people had completed the harvest, and their warehouse materials were enough to support everyone until the fall of next year.

This group of visitors from the far east stood under the city on horseback. Because the messenger was racing on the ice-bound Lake Ilmen first, he reported the news to Rurik.

A group of horsemen from the East come to sell horses not far away? One shot is the scale of a hundred horses?

Such good things were completely beyond Rurik's expectations, and the good news is no less than a long drought and rain.

Yes, Lurik dreams of building a cavalry unit to enhance his combat effectiveness and improve the efficiency of information dissemination, what he really wants. But after thinking about it, this incident was not just accidental.

"Maksakyi, you really are here again this year? Give me a big gift as soon as you come, and I want to reward you again."

Rurik was ready. The team had to walk along the river for two to three days, and he had enough time to put up a guard of honor to greet him.

The messenger said that those horses had a group of armed men. It is not surprising that a group of businessmen have gone through a long journey, that is, bears and wolves encountered on the journey can become deadly threats, and they have to pass through the Smolensk control area. It is reasonable to bring weapons and swordsmen.

But the messenger said that those people looked very strange, and some Finns looked very different. They are all black-haired, and the leader has a wonderful moustache. They are short in stature and don't understand Gnoss at all, but they understand Slavic, and those with poor pronunciation can basically understand them.

Is the main guest from the East? Looks like a Finn?

The messenger mentioned a word, and Rurik made a little judgment and decisively confirmed that the person who came was Pecheneg.

OK! The owner of the horse has delivered it!

The teams of Kagan and Sakyi were too arrogant, they all walked at least, and the Ostara warriors who were "guarding" around them all held up flags and walked, as if these foreign visitors were the first class.

As they passed the farm, even if it was cold, the boring people ran out of the house, or looked at the horse team from afar, or got close to seeing the truth.

Horses are not rare in Novgorod, and it is unprecedented for a large number of riders to appear at the same time!

I am very ashamed to say that the local Slavs do not know how to ride. They use horses as service animals to pull carts and plows, and their functions are more like the Eastern cattle. Of course they knew the existence of cavalry, but the number of horses in their hands was not small but also short.

Last year, foreign horsemen sold some better horses to the prince. It is said that the prince is already planning to create a cavalry unit belonging to the Principality.

But what does this matter have to do with everyone who farms? Even if it is the income, the biggest beneficiaries are the various Varangians and the guys from the White Tree Manor who live in Novgorod.

Think about it! There is nothing more interesting than watching the excitement, anyway, life lacks fun.

The sneaky onlookers Kagan had already noticed that he didn't bother to figure out why along the way, probably because his team was too conspicuous.

He didn't mean any arrogance, but entered a whole new field. He was surprised by the way of life here completely different from his hometown. Curiosity **** everything.

The tall wooden walls of Novgorod surprised him, allowing him to see the real "city style". The uniformly dressed warriors gathered on the city wall not only made him subconsciously on guard, to realize that Prince Ross had fully informed of his arrival.

By coincidence, Jeflo himself was in the city.

In principle, Jeflo is not an earl of Finland, the real earl is his eldest son, and he can exercise the power of a lord as a "political earl." However, in the core area of ​​the Rus Principality, Rurik is willing to reminisce with him, and then appoint him to be the head of the bodyguard. The time limit is until the snow melting next spring.

This is a personal relationship and a test. No, Evlo was ordered to act as the messenger of the contact.

Since the Finnish Suomi and Turkic Pecheneg have their ancestors from North Asia, perhaps their slightly similar looks can bring a special kind of closeness.

Yevlo didn't know Wang's intentions, but he knew his duty well.

The mercenary troops are essentially guards. They are armed with the best clothes and the lightest. Not everyone's helmet is also covered with blue-dyed goose feathers, forming a gorgeous crown. Everyone's white robe is wrapped in a huge interlaced blue pattern on the chest, the cowhide armband is fastened, a uniform style steel sword is hung from the waist, and there are various personal belongings.

The guards were short of manpower, so Ragner’s department also received the letter, and after changing clothes temporarily, he came to be an "extra actor." Suddenly, more than three hundred people lined up at the gate of the city, forming two walls along the road.

If you want ceremonies, do the work of ceremonies to the extreme!

No, Rurik gave her love concubine Nolan, who is obsessed with rhythm, the opportunity to perform. With a team of musicians she trained, she collectively dressed up like a priestess, with a bone flute and a fart drum outside the city. Line up and play "Ode to Joy" as a welcome tune to welcome visitors.

The flag of the Rus is flying, with a blue pattern on a white background. Is this their symbol?

Their samurai all wore robes and armors, and they were gorgeously decorated.

Hidden under the gorgeous appearance is definitely fierce. Kagan is also a veteran soldier at a young age. He can tell from his eyes who has killed anyone, and look at these Ross warriors, every one of them is absolutely murderous!

The blonde young girls aroused his curiosity. These women played the flute and drums, and the ensemble played briskly and comfortably, and the mood expressed was completely reversed from that of another group of savage fighters.

"Guests from afar, the great prince has received your request. The prince allowed the Pecheneg envoy to enter the city and your leader to enter the palace and talk. Please dismount first."

The speaker was a low man with a different appearance from other Rosses. The man spoke in Slavic, and Kagan could understand it.

When he hesitated, Sakyi hurriedly dismounted first, then dragged Kagan down with his bare hands, and whispered: "I advise you not to hesitate and listen carefully to their requirements. We are now in their hands. They are very tough. ."

Of course, the snowfield outside the city was not the meeting place. Kagan got off his horse skillfully, took off his fur and walked towards Evlo with a smile.

"Are you... a noble person?"

"I am a nobleman of the Rus Principality. You...looks like you are the leader of the Pecheneg?"

Sakyi had never seen Jeflo before, and he knew that this man was a big shot at this scene. He hunched over his face and introduced flatly with a smile on his face: "My lord, this young man is the son of Pechenegg Khan...well, he is equivalent to the status of the eldest son of Prince Rus. He is the envoy of Pecheneg, with For the purpose of trade and peace."

"Also a nobleman? Then, please follow me into the city. The prince also ordered that you can bring ten followers, and the others are waiting outside the city with their horses."

"Just let my people stay in the snow?" Kagan asked suspiciously.

"This is what the prince meant. Before getting authorization, you and your people should not enter the city at will. I heard that you are here to sell horses. I saw that your horses are absolutely high-quality, and the prince must also like it."

Shock is acting on both sides together! The Ross army in line also noticed the horses in front of them. Many of them had experienced battles with cavalry and knew the advantages of cavalry. Even if the cavalry had been beaten by a torsion slingshot, if the cavalry was in control of the Russian army, the situation would be completely different.

Ragnar was mixed in the guards, and he was greedy for these horses. After all, seeing that horseman is proud and heroic, any man is envious and wants to ride it and try to feel it and even gallop.

Kagan finally entered the big city of the Duchy of Ross. He saw neat houses and smooth roads, and even drainage ditches.

He also noticed the existence of the bazaar, and saw a large number of people coming and going stopping to look at him.

What made him slightly disappointed was that Prince Ross did not have a particularly grand palace. What there was here was just a large wooden house and a number of outbuildings, perhaps because it was not a royal city.

At the same time, Rurik had already changed his clothes and was waiting for the guests. He also had specially invited Takeru on both sides, especially the burly guys from the First Banner Team. Go up two rows to give a place in Wanggong Town.

The house was brightly lit by candlelight, and a matrix of three chandeliers was lowered on the roof.

The oil lamp holder on the side wall is very particular, every bronze lamp must have a white bear beast head, and the ferocious tusks are inexhaustible and domineering.

A young man with a golden beard sits in Gaotang, wearing a white bear skin, a fox fur hat on his head, and a lot of gems on his clothes.

Is he like a wealthy businessman?

Do not! The young man's eyes can't lie, he is an extremely vicious warrior, and his sharp eyes are like saying, "I killed 10,000 warriors."

Kagan and his entourage had to unload all their arms. As soon as they entered the temple, they heard the noble man on the stage in Slavic language: "Is the envoy of Pecheneg?"

Kagan was still standing, but when he heard Sakyi, he hurriedly sat down with his legs crossed.

"My lord, this is a warrior from the eastern grasslands. He is the son of a local leader and will inherit the position of leader in the future." Sakey flattered.

"The Khan of the Pecheneg?" Rurik was also taken aback. "How can you have such a noble status?"

"I am indeed noble." Kagan raised his head unchecked.

"Very good. It seems that what the messenger said is true. As you can see, I am King Russell, the conqueror of the north, the possession of the ocean, the ruler of the Slavs, and the love of the gods. People are also the best buyers of your horses. So, your name? Your intentions?"

Any person with an identity can name a series of titles that flaunt himself noble. Kagan did show his timidity for a while. After all, he didn't have any impressive results and he didn't dare to brag about himself.

The Rose Prince is very young as rumored, this person is not as timid as his peers, and his words are full of arrogance.

The prince’s arrogant Kagan is not uncomfortable. The prince is definitely smart and has already named his intention to buy a horse.

The topic has a direct breakthrough, and the possibility of awkward dialogue has not existed from the beginning.

"I am Kagan, Pechenegg's next khan. We must be your best horse supplier. Yes, this time, I will do horse trade with you directly on the orders of my father."

"Very good! Happy! Come on! Give wine!"

Upon the order, the ministers offered Rose wines. It is a cocktail. The so-called crafted and distilled vodka is blended with a lot of honey, and some raspberry fruit is soaked. Its alcohol content is not low. The extreme sweetness overwhelms the spicy, only honey, fruity and wine aromas. .

Rurik also held a glass of wine.

Kagan was bewildered and shocked for a while, holding a crystal glass in his hand, in which the wine had a complex aroma and a slight yellow color and was pure and pure.

Since the other party is of Turkic ethnicity, it must be the grassland for home. Any prairie people are always happy. The so-called drinking requires a big bowl, eating meat requires holding bones, and stubbornly drinking and eating meat shows the pride of the host and the guest.

Leurix stood up with a toast, with a bold look: "For guests from afar, it is the fate that meets us. Let us drink this glass of wine, and then immediately talk about the horses."

"My lord, how can you be so bold?!" Kagan was surprised.

"Is there any more nonsense? I long for your horses. I think in your opinion, a hundred words of good blessing are not as good as I immediately buy the horses, right? You are here for trade, and we should Try your best to negotiate a deal today."

Is there such a good thing? Kagan was anxious to complete the transaction immediately and held the money in his hands.

"Since the prince is so fond of this transaction, let's toast! Your warm and hospitable character will be extolled in the grassland, and we will have a better prospect for trade." After all, Kagan drank the wine.

To do business is to do business, and Lurik did not have any intention to cheat these Turkic people.

Kagan was actually the son of Pechenegg Khan. Regardless of whether this name is true, whether the future trade can proceed smoothly is the last word. The so-called don't care about the comer is a cat or a dog, who can send the steed to Ross, it doesn't matter whether he steals or snatches the steed, the hero is the one who sends the steed.

However, the appearance of these Pecheneg people instantly made Rurik think of a lot-maybe the plan of training cavalry should take advantage of the trend to enter the fast lane.

Let's negotiate the business right away! Although the large treasury of the Principality is located in Shilla Fort, the development of handicrafts requires a large amount of cash expenditure, and Novgorod also has a small treasury with up to 800 pounds of silver coins. With his spring experience, Rurik wondered about this unsolicited foreign trade transaction of horses. The money should be enough, and the price should be bargained after the big deal.

"You really intend to sell a hundred horses?" Seeing his toast, Rurik asked hurriedly.

"Exactly."

"So..." Rurik wanted to find a price. He decisively thought of the outrageous offer made by Sacky last year, and his words were directly held back.

"Price? According to our habits, the price of a batch of mares is the highest, and the horses I bring are all mares."

"All mares?!"

"Because mares are most suitable for riding, maybe you don't understand now, you will understand after buying my horse."

Kagan's meaning, Rurik, probably understood. The so-called steppe cavalry always carried mares on expeditions. In addition to the core elite of the Mongolian army expedition to Western Europe, the other cavalry came from Turks. They all live by water and grass, their lifestyles have a lot of commonality, and naturally they can accept the same profuse management. The cavalry on the expedition can stay on their horses and sleep on their horses. The cavalry mare is not only a tool for riding and combat, but also almost all of logistics.

"Well, what's your price?"

"We walked for three months, and after a lot of hardships, we finally arrived in your territory, so..."

"Is the price going up?"

"Exactly. So, a horse is a pound of silver." Kagan said a little timidly, but when he looked at Rurik, he sat upright when he heard the number.

"What did you say?!"

"Ah! Prince! We have gone through a lot of hardships. It is reasonable to increase the price from the far east to this far north. Please accept it."

"You!" Rurik covered his face with one hand, and stared directly at the trembling Maksakyi through his fingers with murderous eyes.

Rurik never expected that there would be such a business. The breeder of horses had to explain for a one-pound quotation. For fear of the buyer's unhappy, the co-author of Sakyi once raised the price ten times! For the sake of 1000% profit, this group of Kiev horses really dare to engage in the "Eastern European Concatenation" to eat at both ends.

The transaction was all spring, and the stallions that were bought went crazy, so much so that now the whole of Novgorod's mares are bulging. Sakyi sold his horse and then withdrew~www.novelhall.com~ Thinking of those things, Rurik had to feel that this Kiev man’s mobility was really for trade. This man has been moving fast for a whole year without even taking a break. At the time, he had this ability to act and gave him a big ship, but he couldn't directly kill the New World.

Obviously Sakyi lied in the spring. The ten horses described by the so-called open heart cost 40 pounds of silver coins. In the end, they are still nonsense. They are all profiteers! Even now, Rurik didn't get angry when he knew it, and he should even keep it a secret. Because the horse suppliers deliver the goods to the door, they take care of the distribution work themselves, and no second dealers are needed anymore.

Kagan said that one hundred mares are available for sale, while other horses are not included in the scope of sale.

"When will we trade? When will I get the money?!" Kagan asked very honestly.

The other party was so real, Rurik thought that if he hesitated at all, he would be too unnatural. He stood up again and announced: "It's now, you are about to get the money! A total of 10,000 fine silver coins! Let's go! I'll go and see the horses first. What a happy event, Kagan, you and your people They are all my friends. I want to entertain you tonight!"
