Rise of Rurik
Chapter 622: After the wind and snow
, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!
A blizzard hit Roseburg with an inevitable attitude, and a brand-new Arctic current poured into the Baltic Sea. It swept across Northern Europe, and finally stopped in the Alps...
The blizzard lasted for a week, and relying on sufficient material preparations, Roseburg experienced the snow disaster safely, but when the weather was clear, everyone had to bring their tools to clean the snow before their doors.
The lives of the captured Tavastia women improved immediately after Rurik's intervention.
First of all, they all changed into a batch of simple leather and cloth mixed clothes, and the food treatment miraculously reached an average of two pounds of boiled wheat per person per day.
This is really an astonishing amount of food. The hungry women feasted, their physical fitness improved rapidly, and some people even began to accumulate fat.
In extremely cold times, the fat on their bodies is really a life-saving baby, and they hit the cold current after they recovered. Fortunately, there is no more death during the raging cold current.
It's another hateful blizzard!
Rurik stayed in his palace, and his life was indeed different from that of ordinary people. He was entwined by Yingying Yanyan and enjoyed the warmth of his family.
If John Invall was allowed to continue teaching his wives and concubines Latin, it would be impossible for Rurik to have no taboos. Now the Queen Mary of Mercia is here, and this woman easily becomes a Latin teacher.
She doesn't need to deliberately teach, as long as she deliberately speaks more Latin in her daily life, other people's language will improve.
Rurik most hopes that they can cultivate sisterhood, even if their parents are different and they are very different. Eating at a table is a means of enhancing affection, and staying together is another means.
But he is still the emperor's set of pavement to his women.
Today, it was Nolan's turn.
Under the soft light of the oil lamp, the girl sat casually on the side of the bed. Because of the fireplace and the thick wood and moss soil interlayer, the entire palace is warm, and the outdoor temperature has plummeted to -30°C.
Wearing a simple commoner, she was held in the palace for many days to avoid the extreme cold, and her peaceful face was filled with heavy anxiety.
Rurik is here, shirtless, with the fragrance of flowers on his body.
He just scrubbed his body, and soaked his feet in hot water by the way, so that he should have gone to bed, but he really didn't feel sleepy.
"You are finally here. Everyone else is asleep, so I won't sing anymore." She said casually.
"Sing to please me? It's not the time yet."
After all, Rurik also sat on the bedside: "You cleaned up your room very clean, cleaner than your hometown boudoir. It just so happens that there are some things I have time to tell you."
"It's about my biological father canonizing me as the earl of my hometown?"
"Oh? Have you heard about it? Yes, you should be able to hear about this big news."
"Yes. But I don't quite understand. I am a woman. Many people went to Britain to build new homes. Do you want me to be the leader of the old fjord? A woman is the leader. I never thought of such a thing."
"That's it. Specifically, you and my children will inherit the title forever."
"That's it." Nuo Lun sneered, then lay down with a comprehensible look, "Let's start."
Rurik was taken aback.
"Are you so eager? You are still so young..."
Noren stared straight at his trembling eyes, and sneered: "Funny, do you think you are an older person? The Moon God has already revealed to me! My mother (referring to Niya) has long said that I can be a mother. My biological father made such a knighthood arrangement, and I can't let him down, and there are people from my hometown who don't want to leave."
The marriage itself was a political marriage, and Rurik was surprised that Noren said such words. Her words were far beyond her age. Maybe someone taught her? Was it urged by my old mother?
"That's not OK."
"Why!?" Noren immediately got up: "I have heard that Sister Mary is a few years older than me. I heard that in the past, you have almost every day...Do you love her the most? You know me. like you very much."
"That is your destiny, but it won't be appropriate for the next three or four years, wait a minute..."
"But! I need to have a child to inherit the title of Balmerk. This is your responsibility. I am very anxious."
"Let's stop here!" Rurik had no intention of entangled, he wondered that Mary must have babbled a lot in Latin. This is also easy to understand. To establish a status in the new world for a subjugated prince and daughter, it is necessary to have a good relationship with this group of women. Besides, even though Mary lived like a toy in the old Mercia court, she also passively practiced her ability to watch and tell a group of simple women how to please men. Mary was really good at this.
Noren pursed her lips, but she wasn't happy...
Rurik only found it absurd, and suddenly felt a little bit. On the contrary, their women were too proactive on this issue. And unlike men, they have a very strong purpose.
Suddenly, Rurik really felt like an April stallion.
Liu Likra lowered his face: "Since you already know, I will tell you the detailed arrangements for the follow-up. Our children naturally have the title of Balmerk, but you have to pay attention, that is not the earl of the Kingdom of York. Earl of Balmerk, Duke of Rose. Noren, you belong to my woman, your son is my son, and your fellow Balmerk..."
In a daze, Nolen heard a strange hint.
"Many people don’t want to leave that fjord. They are my people. The Balmerks who don’t want to go are all my people! I am their duke! The entire Narvik Fjord will always be Ross. Territory."
"This... is a merger?" Nolen was taken aback.
"Exactly! The Balmerks have already immigrated, and they have established a huge Kingdom of York in Britain. Your brother Bijuni said that the guy who didn't want to leave was a coward. Yes, your biological father and brother, and Those noble family chiefs, they abandoned their homeland and people who didn’t want to go. I am otherwise, I like the people who stayed. I also promised them that I will take the snow and ice road to Balmerk this winter. Lun!"
"Ok."
"You and I must go together. I will organize a huge expedition after Hanukkah to climb over the snow-capped mountains and enter Balmerk, and then officially declare your and my rule. This is what I want to tell you. What do you think?"
"Okay! I have no idea about Britain, Rose is the greatest. If my fellow villagers become New Roses, their life will be better." Noren's heart was quite shocked, but this girl Showed a joyful mood. She regards all this as fate, and in all fairness, the people in her hometown are really included in Rurik, and life will definitely get better.
"Indeed. Severe ice and snow is a problem. As long as everyone is rich, ice and snow will not be a problem. Go to sleep, Nolan. When the snow stops, I'd like to see your marching band."
"Good! You will be satisfied."
Of course Nolen hopes to be a mother sooner, but her current physical condition is really going to be a dead end if she is a mother. As a rational person with extremely deep knowledge, Rurik certainly knows the terror risk in this regard, even if she is a pure Nordic.
However, during the long period of wind and snow, how can every family hide in a home like a warm cave?
The wind and snow outdoors and the accumulation of blood concealed people's movements, and Rurik could think with his toes that the next baby boom in the Principality of Ross would be in August next year. Not bad, at least it was thick and warm at that time, and the delicate baby hardly died suddenly.
So as a monarch, Rurik has no doubt about the strength of the Rose woman. It is no problem for a woman to give birth to eight people, just like the situation in Britain in the early days of the industrial age. To further expand the population to survive, expansion to open up living space is the simplest and rude means.
Fortunately, in this era, the geographical space is extremely huge, and the wild and rich world is urgently awaiting the development of the Russians.
The next step is to open the land trade route of Roseburg → Elon Fort → Fisk Fort → Balmerk, so that the Russ officially had the access to the Atlantic Ocean in 834, and it was an ice-free port.
The wind and snow stopped, and people hiding behind walked out of their homes. The first time they spontaneously picked up tools to sweep the snow in front of the door, it gradually evolved into a snow-sweeping project covering the entire city.
Although the servant's deer breeder carried property belonging to the duke, the reindeer herd that had captured and bred 3,000 heads went north for winter grazing.
There are more than one hundred reindeer in Roseburg. They act as sleigh riders and are actively transporting the snow in the city out of the city.
As a result, a snow-capped mountain by the sea is being "built", and a group of children happily use it as a toy, and many children throw snowballs and smash them to play constantly.
Hanukkah is not far away, and the time is approaching December in the Julian calendar.
Because the times have changed, many Ross people no longer have the qualifications to hide in their homes and live until the sea thaws.
Because of wealth or the desire for glory, they bravely walked out of their warm home and started special winter production operations.
For example, the furnace in an industrial zone cannot be extinguished! Even in the extreme night, even if it is to use the soft light of the stars, miners still have to go into the mountains to dig all kinds of ores. Even the roads that people step on in the snow are very flat, but winter is a good time to transport ore.
In recent days, Otto and other old folks from the Ross people have gathered together all day to talk about the mountains and served them with spirits, bacon and dried fruits.
Sometimes Rurik worried that his father would suddenly go to Valhalla because of excessive drinking.
However, many years have passed since the era of the father as the leader. He just appears weaker physically, but the people are actually supporting the young duke. For a very simple reason, who they support who let them live a good life.
So, let the good days go to the next level!
Rurik simplified his large group of cubs.
Boys and girls from the age of six to twelve in Roseburg are here, and most of the children in the Duchy of Rose are now gathered in the original capital of Roseburg.
They are trained to cut logs, move materials, and transport water. Although they are very young, they are very determined laborers.
They even received military training. The first batch of children became "basic-level commanders." Each of them brought more than a dozen people to form one team after another.
Rurik Century can't be too entangled in marshalling. Following the tradition of the Ross or Vikings, people will spontaneously gather around the brave.
They formed a small group, and easily gathered into a huge group with each other.
Now, Rurik counted the heads and knew that the group of children who ate the duke's food all the time had reached the size of two thousand!
This is really a huge number! Rurik learned of this actual quality, and quite understand why the old fellow Harozossen would neglect the group of Tavastia women.
Just because of this group of children, it is a great internal friction for the Duke's treasury.
Fortunately, this depletion is easily overwhelmed by taxes, tributes, and plunder.
Do not!
"Maybe this year I have to increase taxes on those merchants. And then increase the amount of in-kind tribute from the Suomi people..."
It's a means to make war money to feed their own cubs waiting to be fed. The development of industry and handicrafts is the second means of selling products and earning money in exchange for materials.
And pioneering is the third method. It is difficult to achieve self-help within a few years by opening up the land and harvesting wheat.
Then focus on metal smelting and manufacture high-value-added ironware at low cost, relying on trade means to trade with swordsmanship.
So, what is the current industrial capacity of the Russ?
On the first day of December in the Julian calendar, people formally look forward to Hanukkah from this day.
Many fighters turned into hunters, and they took their equipment to the north of Fort Elon and Fort Fisk. A group of visiting merchants also went to the north, planning to purchase high-quality and precious leather on the spot.
A large number of leather craftsmen are also best prepared, ready to process a large amount of northern leather upon arrival.
The population of Roseburg's white fungus has dropped a lot, while the population of Elonburg has increased sharply, and there are brave people who want to ask for wealth in the land of ice and snow.
Moreover, it was a family of free deer breeders in the distance. They believed the promise of the Ross people, changed their prudence for hundreds of years, and started trading live deer and leather with the people of Elronburg with their deer in exchange for key ironware. .
They just got a stainless weapon-chrome tools.
Regarding the fact that the free deer breeders, the small Sami settlements in the matriarchal clan, began trading with the Rus, Rurik does not yet know. Because of the early declaration of the city's ruling power over all deer breeders, the decree restrained the Ross and Corvin of Elronburg from looting free deer breeders.
Rurik didn't even expect this, or because of the construction of a batch of new buildings including the "Ross Duma" council and new big ships, a mighty logging team rushed on December 1st. The reindeer and the pony pulling the sled pulled a lot of wood back to Roseburg, so the date arrived just for a good luck.

This is really an exciting good thing. Lurik loves to see their return, and Otto rarely drank a drink to appreciate the return of the logging brothers with the giant spruce of the extreme north.
The more than 500 deer skins bought from the free deer breeders belonged to private individuals. The arrival of the new leather gave the leather processing industry in Roseburg a boost.
Rurik and his entourage once again entered the so-called industrial zone with billowing smoke.
Unlike other areas, this area is still hard sand and stone, even during the blizzard, the flames in the furnace are still burning, the positive area continues to remain hot, and the snow has never been covered.
Everywhere is the sound of ding, ding, dong, banging of iron, they are many young and strong blacksmiths, and they are also their so-called slave workers.
In principle, Kamnier and his more than fifty men are directly loyal to the Duke of Ross himself. Today and in the future, the job is to make a variety of ironware or other equipment for the Duke.
They were all born in poverty, and they must all become engineers in the future.
Rurik's visit was a bit abrupt, and many people temporarily suspended their work, before starting a new beating again.
The white-bearded Clavason came to meet him, and a smart, fluffy little guy rushed over with enthusiasm. The white fluff looked like a little polar bear.
It was Kuznetslav, the child of the nickname Kuja. According to seniority, Rurik is his uncle.
Su Lilia also went out, although she was dressed very thickly, Rurik was surprised to find that she was pregnant again.
"My lord, you are actually taking time to come here. Oh no, you must have a new idea. You are welcome, and we come in and have a good chat." Although Cravason is obviously older than a few months ago, he is still enthusiastic. to not fix.
"Indeed, I am here to discuss some important matters with you. It is still a very important matter!" Rurik said casually.
"Oh, then please come. Come to our blacksmith's council room, you can wait a little while, I'll call all those old guys over."
"There is also a separate conference room? Why didn't I know before?" Rurik was a little surprised, then calmly said, "I don't want to be idle. Where is Kawei?"
"He... he's supervising the blast furnace production~www.readwn.com~ Look, I'm old, and now I feel strenuous even to swing a hammer. You can tell Kawei if you have anything important, I..." Halfway through, the old Clavassen called his giggling little grandson to his side: "I just want to continue to accompany this kid."
Enjoy the happiness of family after living in abundance? Clavasson's aging is indeed visible to the naked eye.
Rurik looked at Lilia again, and did not talk for a while. In fact, of course he has many things to ask Lilia, after all, this woman is very unusual, and almost all of Rose's die-cast glassware came from her. Glassware is also regarded as an industry that is developing vigorously, and Lilia must be a key figure in this cause.
"I'm going to find Kawei first. Clavasson, you can just call someone. By the way, call Kamnier to your council room."
"Good!" Clavasson pushed the little grandson to his mother, shaking himself, leaning on a wooden stick to personally inform the parents of the other families who were with the blacksmith.
Seeing the old man's back, a strong sense of strangeness surged to Rurik's heart.
Clavasson, you are really old, so old suddenly...
