The reindeer captured in the war against Karelia last year were basically transported to Fort Shilla this winter.

A large number of deserted beaches on both sides of the Neva River are covered by snow, and they have become excellent places for herding deer in winter.

Governor Cornuzon took on this task. The biggest job of the deer shepherd he assigned was to watch these deer not get lost. The task was really simple, and the benefits from it were not small.

There are nearly 3,000 deer of various ages, and they are legally the property of Rurik. Hundreds of deer are the spoils of warriors, and their situations are very diverse.

Some deer were slaughtered early, the deer skins were sold, and the venison entered the soldiers' stomachs.

Some deer are bought by residents and become animal power for pulling sleds in winter and two-wheelers in summer.

More than fifty deer were directly bought by the old Harald's silver. The old soldier of the deer owner, Ross, needed silver coins but was not good at raising deer, so he took out the silver coins and led the deer home happily.

They are second to ponies in animal power, some are better than none.

Old Harald was forced to emigrate to Shilla Fort with a group of family wealth. Because his beautiful daughter married General Ross, the fate of being victimized was gone. A group of properties were kept in the form of gold and silver and lost. Career can also quickly recover in the new world.

The Rus were the attackers, and the family is now part of the Rus.

So does old Harald have no hate in his heart? If the Ross army hadn't attacked Gotland, he would still be in trouble on the island.

hate? What's the use of hate?

The disputes between the Gotlanders and the Svealans were bad debts for hundreds of years, but he never thought that the Ross people among the Svealans were so tough.

Now that everything is clear, the reason why the Ross people are tough is that they walked out of the cramped ground under the leadership of the heroic leader and began to expand, just like a bear that had hibernated for a long time jumping out of a cave for food.

After personal contact with Prince Rurik of Rose, he concluded that this son was far better than the other Viking leaders. Many nobles only care about being happy with themselves and their families, but Liu Rick is not the case. This son is a tyrant on the outside, but a saint on the inside. He is a contradictory person.

Now that the grandson has been born, Gustav can already walk. This kid is half a Rus in blood, and he inherits the name of the Hrolev family.

There is a successor in the family, not to mention that this kid is still the nephew of Prince Rose.

Gotland has died, and the Sweden of Ross and Svealand has also split. Old Harald feels that he must be buried on the banks of the Neva River, at least before his death can see the family's revival.

The family's best leather production and trading work is expanding, and the newly opened mill work is a new way to make money.

The expansion of the mill requires more livestock to drive more stone-milling movements. However, simply processing flour will earn a labor fee. Even if the flour is made into loaves and bread, is it not the same as a labor fee? This is the job of small profits but quick turnover. Only by relying on the advantages of scale can we make a lot of money.

There are thousands of residents in Fort Shilla. The customers of pancakes and bread are mainly hunters and fishermen. They buy high-quality dry food in response to emergencies. If they think they can make enough dry food, they will not buy more.

Therefore, the largest order came from the army.

Old Harald didn't say it on the surface, but he still felt that his daughter's big mill was a waste of earning efficiency. If the Duke of Ross stopped going to expedition that day, the mill's business would go down. Although this is unlikely, how do they judge when the Ross army will expedition?

Unless strict controls are made on costs, start from the grain production process, such as getting their own fields and hiring people to grow the land as the landlord.

Old Harald and Aslaqi both have a need for farmland, and they have both revealed to Rurik, and they are indeed ready to move.

Is it possible that only wheat can be grown in farmland? How can wheat come quickly to grow cash crops? There are not many family members and servants, and the food supply in Shilla Fort is normal. If the family lacks food, they can use money to buy it. The limited energy and material resources should be invested in high value-added industries. In order to get rich in a short period of time, Asraki has the motive of taking risks and can invest heavily and wait for the future to make a fortune.

They have the ability to take risks and unique cards. Aslaqi decided that Ruriek would not sit back and watch his family become poor. If his eldest nephew Gustav had a bad life, he would definitely have to help.

Besides, the relocation of the Hrolev family here is basically Rurik's order, and the existence of the family itself has a special meaning for Ross.

The family shouldered a special responsibility, so when Rurik sent a messenger to ask the old Harald and the Aslaqi father and daughter to come to the palace for a meeting, the father and daughter thought with their toes and guessed what was so called.

After all, these days, the Ostara people yelled about the search for land buyers. After all, there are people watching theaters everywhere, and no one can come up with a huge sum of money in one go.

In fact, the old Harald couldn't take out sixty pounds of silver coins in one go, just because he and his daughter were betting on fate. Gold and silver have become actual goods and real estate, and the last amount of working capital has recently been exchanged with Rurik. There are still some gold and silver reserves at home, but they can't pay for this huge amount of money to buy land.

Aslaqi took her father's arm, and the two of them were unaccompanied and did not need to be accompanied. Even Arik's request to be accompanied by Peravina declined.

There are some guards standing outside the palace, the huge Harvest Square is still snow-covered, and the sun is very dazzling here.

The air is no longer cold and pressing, and the time for the world to thaw is not far away.

Huge sled teams and large numbers of reindeer will migrate to Novgorod, and the lively Fort Shilla will return to her summer tranquility, unless the army gathers again.

The father and daughter entered the hall of the palace calmly. Lurik was not in the more suitable "Ros Dumas" council to summon them to show his attitude. Secondly, this is indeed a small meeting where the top nobles of Rose participated. No one needs to know the secret.

Carlotta had already come first, and sat down casually on his side. Rurik also crossed his legs indifferently, and when he saw the old Harald father and daughter enter the house, he stretched out his hand to signal.

Old Harald sat down, breathing heavily. He was still very cautious: "My lord, there must be something important to invite the old to discuss."

"It's a big deal. I'm not polite. You father and daughter are here. Let me tell you! It's about the Ostala people selling about ten hectares of farmland. I hope your family will be the buyer and buy it all at once. under."

Suddenly, when the father and daughter heard it, their hearts were suddenly ecstatic, but the two old business foxes were extremely indifferent on their faces.

It turned out that Carlotta could not sit still.

"I beg you, we must buy our land! The Ostara people want to build a new home in a new place, and we need a fortune as a start-up capital. We have almost nothing, only this cultivated land."

This is a buyer's market, and Lurik is not surprised that Carlotta treats customers with respect, but she does not expect her to be so urgent.

Aslaqi looked at Carlotta and then at Rurik, at a loss for a moment.

Rurik can add: "That's it, she wants to sell the land, you sell the land, I think it will be good for both of you."

Aslaqi looked at her father with more eyes, and those eyes clearly pointed out: You are the only one responsible for the dear girl.

With the hint from her father, she was brave enough to fight: "Buy land? Yes. At least I need to know the price."

The price has been spread long ago, and Asraqi asked this well knowingly. As it turns out, just like those rumors, the total price of sixty pounds of silver coins, or six pounds of gold will do. Carlotta, the female leader of Ostara, personally confirmed the price that cannot be bargained.

"What do you think?" Carlotta asked.

"can."

"This is great!" Carlotta sat upright with excitement, and Lurik's face also showed a smile.

"But!" Aslaqi swept Rurik from the corner of her eyes, and said solemnly: "It's true that I don't have any cash on hand. Since the prince has appointed a silver coin for ten pounds of oats, I can pay for this with oats. Is it a payment?"

"This... also works."

"Oh? Since this is all right, what if it is processed leather and cloth? Sister Carlotta, the money you want is sixty pounds of silver! It is nothing to the prince, but it is a lot of money to our merchants. Converted into wheat is 60,000 pounds, enough for a large ship to carry cargo!"

For a while, Carlotta was confused, she didn't know what this sister wanted to do.

In fact, Rurik was also a little confused. He guessed something and couldn't tell.

"Athraqi!" Rylik asked with a raised head, "Don't sell it. Now that you promised her, she surrendered the field, and you took out the money or the equivalent in kind. What are you going to do?"

Aslaqi expressed regret: "Sir. I can bring out the equivalent goods, but the oats you promised have not been shipped to our warehouse. Actually, there is no such thing in my house that can load 60,000 pounds of wheat in one go. The granary. As for the silver coins, they have probably been turned into leather. There are still many silver coins as remuneration paid to the construction workers. Besides, I took out the equivalent goods. I don’t think Carlotta has the ability to take them all, even if they take them. Now, do they really know how to trade leather to sell?"

I can't understand it at all! What does this woman want to do?

Carlotta felt like she was being pasted, and she also felt that her brain was not smart enough.

Rurik understood her suggestion: the payment can be postponed, or more money can be paid.

The transaction mode of deferred payment is no stranger to Lik. In the era of large e-commerce, delayed payment by customers is a normal state. As long as they trust each other and each have a reputation, or agree on a reputation with some coercive force, the transaction can continue.

Rurik asked directly: "You actually want to postpone the payment, right? Asraki, you definitely mean that."

"Yes! Since the adults have guessed it. Actually..."

"Don't hide it anymore." Rurik shook his head.

"Okay." Aslaqi seemed to sigh helplessly: "I also think for the sake of sister Carlotta and her people. Sixty pounds of silver, if you don't make a move, I think the entire Shilla Fortress will only be mine. The family has the financial resources to make money. What I said is true, I lack cash on hand, and we are still waiting for the sea to thaw, and all the goods on hand are sold for cash. Sister Carlotta chose an inappropriate time. Sell ​​the land if..."

She began to negotiate terms with Carlotta one-on-one: "Give me the land immediately. When I collect the payment, I will not only give you the debt, but also give you extra interest."

"Interest? How much?!" Carlotta asked without thinking.

Seeing that his concubine was too simple and high-quality for this transaction, Rurik couldn't stand it anymore. He slapped his thigh and stopped the 5% interest rate that Asiraqi wanted to offer on the spot.

"I've decided! A 20% interest rate. Aslaqi, give her 80 pounds of silver before the harvest season this year, none of which can be less."

"My lord!" Aslaqi has also eaten.

The interest rate is good, Carlota immediately made a decision and claimed that the deal was sold, and then smiled.

Aslaqi was a little confused by the sudden imperative decision. Although old Harald was watching the show, he was still sullen now.

Rurik still slapped his thighs: "If it weren't for my money in my hometown in Roseburg, I would buy it, Aslaqi, for Ostara and for Rose, please spend a lot of money! All future All the Ostara people will miss you well."

But Asraki only felt a little hypocritical, Rurik and Carlotta were intimate, they were a family to each other, as if what happened today was blackmailed by their husband and wife.

She gritted her teeth: "Since it is the king's fate, I must agree. So we must sign the contract."

Since it is necessary to establish a commercial contract, it is totally impossible to say it verbally.

The large amount of paper carried from Novgorod immediately highlights its wonderful effect.

This is the pledge between Asraki and Carlotta, and Rurik is at best as a witness.

The document was quickly signed, and the document itself was folded. All this left Old Harald. He saw the commercial value in it, even the paper, and even changed his lifestyle.

Isn't it troublesome to make a written vow? To engrave on a suitable wood, the wood must be carefully prepared, and then the thick wood must be well preserved. Old Harald used parchment as a noble material as the carrier of the contract. He also heard that it was done by the Franks in the far south, but the value of parchment itself is amazing.

Therefore, many businessmen do not like to make written contracts, and there is indeed a serious trouble of carrying the carrier materials of the contract. A large number of commercial activities often involve the inability of money to arrive in time, and it is also a natural cause of lending business.

Commercial contracts rely on verbal statements by both parties, and the operability is too great. Once both parties have a wrong understanding of the contract, a contradiction is born. On the issue of the ownership of money and goods, the ambiguity of the verbal contract triggered a fight after the fact. Old Harald saw too much in the Viking business environment of Old Gotland.

The port of Visby was in ruins, and new Swedish immigrants replaced the old Gotland people to establish new settlements.

Old Harald has no lingering there, but business is business. The Ross people and the Swedes have the same or even stronger business atmosphere here. Now the paper brought by Prince Ross makes the signing of written contracts easy. This thing is simply for Business is born!

His pattern is a bit smaller, but the depth of his vision exceeds that of ordinary merchants.

In terms of nature, the land transaction involving Asraki and Carlotta is of great significance. Duke Rurik of Rose did not have the property rights of these farmland. As an arbitrator and certifier, he followed the transaction throughout the process.

Nearly ten hectares of farmland has become the private property of the old Harald family. The wheat grown on it is still another cash crop, or even abandoned. In theory, it is the family's own business.

But this is Rose, and Rurik will not tolerate land littering. The ten hectares of land is very large, and even if she owns the land, she can't help it.

Carlota is very satisfied with this transaction. When the wealth equivalent to 80 pounds of silver coins becomes the property of the Ostara people, the people will rely on it for rapid development. Aslaqi did not really have to wait until the goods were sold to repay the money purely in silver coins. She would first pay the grain equivalent to 20 pounds of silver coins as the first payment, and the subsequent 60 pounds of silver coins had to be paid in cash.

The two women were satisfied with each other, and Rurik said again: "Asraki, you now have land. This is a large-scale land transaction that I have permitted. Your behavior has created a history for Rose. Say, What do you plan to plant in your new field?"

"Probably it's wheat." Aslaqi knew that Rurik must have something to wait, and the answer was full of temptation.

"No. You don't want to grow wheat. I ask you to grow flax stalks."

"Why linen? Just making cloth?"

"Not only that." Rurik sighed softly. "In my opinion, the banks of the Neva River in Fort New Ross are still not suitable for growing wheat. It is suitable for growing flax, ramie and boat hemp. Since your family is When I was in Gotland, I was good at leather processing. The processed leather was used to make clothes. Since the final clothes are made, isn’t it profitable to make linen? Listen!"

"Yes."

Rurik’s face was solemn: "I have allowed your family revival, and I also need your family revival. I want you to grow flax on a large scale, because my fleet needs a lot of hemp rope and cloth, and my shipboard weapons need hemp. The twisting force of the rope. How much money can you earn by simply planting wheat and crushing it into flour? You plant all flax. I will charge as much as you want. The price will be satisfied. For this, I am willing to sign a futures treaty with you immediately ."

The prince is using his power to lead a transaction, and Aslaqi knows that everything in his family is actually in the hands of this person. As the saying goes, there is no unreasonable love. As shrewd as she is, she knows that the lord’s purpose is to support a big obedient businessman in the East, so as to avoid the Gould family, a big businessman in the West, dominating the family.

No, a flax futures contract was quickly signed, and Lurik decided to use the price of flax rods at the Merlarn Birka fair last summer as a guide price to purchase the expected output of the land of Asraki this year. Flax stalk is a kind of cash crop. It seems that its only use is to make cloth. Its special properties limit its sales~www.readwn.com~ If there is no super purchaser like Rurik, it would be planted on ten hectares of land. , In the end, it must be blood loss.

Therefore, this paper contract has advanced meaning across the ages. If a wealthy businessman suddenly jumps out to buy this contract, Rurik may increase the price and sell it and cash it out immediately.

If there is a doll-like purchase around this contract, selling the contract alone is a means of cashing out. What is this not a typical futures transaction? The essence of Tulip Mania is that a group of businessmen trades on the contract itself around the written contract of the purchase right of special tulip bulbs.

Fortunately, there is no businessman who is wealthier than Rurik trying to do this in the Rus Principality. It is undeniable that this contract has opened up the situation in nature, and the Rus Principality has begun to give birth to the soil for futures trading.

Now that there is a written contract, there is no possibility that Lord Rurik will break the contract in Asraki's mind. Her brain calculated that by planting flax stalks, she would make a lot of money this year, and she could still do so every year.

Two contracts were signed within a day, and the three parties can get their own benefits. Not only will they make a lot of money this year, they will also have a lot of positive significance for each other's future.

It's a win-win-win contract.
