Rise of Rurik

, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!

At dawn, the breeze blew across the big lake. It was supposed to be a bustling farm, but now there are only a few figures that wake up and shake.

The area near the farm was full of people. They were all gray and white, their blood leaked into the ground, and the ground became black.

Sleeping with thousands of dead bodies, the Ross army didn't feel too unlucky. They are all victors, a cruel battle proved to Odin who is the real warrior.

The early Russian soldiers searched for combustible firewood everywhere, and got clear water from the well surrounded by pebbles, and immediately cooked the seized wheat.

This group of farmers really didn't have any treasures to grab, and they couldn't really satisfy them simply by capturing a batch of grain brothers, but they had already had psychological expectations and concluded that there would be no rich spoils after the war.

In other words, no gold or silver was looted in the war in the East this year, and everyone was following the will of the Duke.

The Ross and Balmerks rely on hunting and fishing as their main means of making a living in peacetime. Most of them are still not very interested in controlling farmland and growing wheat.

When many people were full, the work of cleaning the battlefield officially began.

The feet of the corpses were tied with ropes, and they were pulled to the edge of the forest to stand by.

The soldiers from the white tree, calf, and angler manor began to dig deep pits with wooden shovel and shovel, preparing to bury many dead bodies.

Most of the work of cleaning the station was thrown to the Allied troops. The Varangians, who were the absolute majority in the Rus army, still stayed mainly in the occupied farms and rested.

The corpses who died in the farm were randomly thrown onto the two-wheeled trolley, the dead were quickly transported away, and the entire farm became no longer eerie and horrible.

To bury 10,000 corpses is really a lot of work.

Rigus went to the battlefield in the morning with a walking stick and aboard the long boat of the Ross people. He was not surprised by the victory of the Ross army, but he didn't expect the victory to be so simple.

When he saw the corpses piled up like a mountain on the edge, the whole figure seemed to have powdered legs, and he was so scared that he was sitting on the ground, and then he passed out in a daze.

He was taken a few shots in front of his face before he woke up and gradually figured out the current situation.

Uski of Calf Manor is already here, and he took those slaps.

"Uncle, see, Pine Needle Manor is finished, and all their people are here." He said.

"Ah! Corpses, they are all corpses."

"You shouldn't be here. We fought a big battle yesterday, and now our people clean up the dead bodies."

"Where is the Ross?" Rigus asked cautiously.

"They? Are they all resting now? Busy to clean up their trophies." Uski said with a slight dissatisfaction. It is true that he and his people came too late, and the best things were picked by the Ross army. They were late. People can only hope to pick up the missing children.

Rigus was helped to stand up. The horror in front of him was too blinking. He hurriedly turned his face away and sighed: "Rürich asked me to come to the meeting, saying that there is something important to announce. Go find him."

"It's okay. The Duke of Ross is in the old Borudne's house, and Tory and I will be late."

"Alright. I will see what my son-in-law has done then."

Rigus was assisted and walked into the destroyed Pine Needle Manor. After a short journey, he saw multiple trolleys pulling the corpses toward the tomb to be sealed. He closed his eyes whenever he saw this tragedy. There is no extravagant hope for the scene inside the manor.

Sure enough, some houses have collapsed, and there are obvious traces of looting and damage to the entire manor.

A large number of Russ soldiers wearing classic Varyag helmets walked around with their arms, or a few people gathered together and chatted with a smile.

It's ridiculous! A lot of people are obviously dead here, so they still have the courage to laugh?

Are they not afraid of the ghost of the dead?

Rigus has never seen many corpses in his entire life. He has only presided over the funeral of his White Tree Manor. He has never left the Volkhov River to the lower Ladoga Lake in this life.

He has never participated in a battle where the two sides have invested more than 10,000 troops, and naturally he has never seen the tragic situation of corpses everywhere. Today is an eye-opener. He just wanted to leave this terrible place early, and even the houses left by Pine Needle Manor had to be demolished, so that this unlucky place disappeared completely.

Rigus had something more important. He finally arrived at the occupied Borudne Mansion. These walls-wrapped buildings were already Rurik’s command center and a natural meeting place.

No, as soon as he entered the fence, he saw Rurik himself and his lovely daughter.

Svetlana, this girl is dressed like a capable Varanga warrior. Do not! She is a warrior, I am afraid she also killed the enemy. Look at her, sitting on a simple wooden bench patiently polishing a cluster of arrows.

"Dad! You are here!" The girl stood up abruptly, and welcomed her with satisfaction.

"I'm here by order." After that, his eyes turned to Rurik.

The sword was sheathed, and Liuli Ke walked slowly with his chest high: "It seems that the people I sent out are very efficient. You are here, come in and sit down."

"Good! Good..."

Rigus took a good look at the young war madman. With this counter-insurgency campaign, he had a deeper understanding of his son-in-law. He had seen this handsome boy with his own eyes and praised him, but now more It's fear. As long as this kid gives an order, a large army armed with iron will rush forward, and there will be no opponents in the whole world.

If the White Tree Manor does not do well, this kid will turn his face and refuse to recognize people.

Rigus had to think more, he was in awe of Otto, and now he is not only in awe of Rurik, but fear has already prevailed.

He continued to enter the inner hall with crutches, and the aroma came to his face. No, there is still the aroma of wine in this breath.

Otto was lying on his side on the wooden floor of the inner hall. Today, he took off his shirt and lied down casually, his white beard drooped to his chest, he didn't know how much he had drunk, and his ruddy face could not even see the age spots. Otto seemed to be lying on his side like this, but this attitude made Rigus even more in awe, because the deep eyes exuded murderous aura at all times.

"You are here first, just because there is something to inform you." Rurik was already sitting cross-legged, and his speech immediately caught Rigus's eyes.

"Okay, I will follow any orders."

Rigus threw the stick to his followers, and those followers could also withdraw. The old guy crouched back and sat cross-legged, accepting the scrutiny of two generations of Ross chiefs.

Regarding how to reward the hard-core ally, White Tree Manor, Rurik and Otto had already negotiated, and there was a clear disclosure in the previous meeting. Today, this person is first called to announce the reward.

Rurik cleared his throat: "I now declare my travel promise, and I will give you the last time. In this war, our army completely destroyed the Pine Needle Manor, and the huge farmland left behind is my trophy. I! Duke Ross Liuli Ke declares that they are mine, but the vast farmland needs someone to cultivate for a long time. Now I give you 40% of the land."

As soon as he heard this, Rigus's inner fear was completely gone, his aging eyes shone, and it was completely beyond his estimation last time.

He hurriedly thanked the Lord Duke for his reward, and besides the grateful words with his mouth like a pearl, he really didn't know what else he could do.

Rurik motioned for him to shut up, and solemnly announced: "I reward you that these lands will still receive tributes in the future, including the land of your farm, and will pay tributes to the Duchy of Ross, that is, TAX."

Rigus felt the difference keenly. He felt that part of his existing interests would be deprived of it. After all, there is no free banquet in the world.

"So, what proportion will we pay for the new tribute?" he asked cautiously.

"Eleven taxes! I decided to collect tributes at this tax rate, and there will be no additional taxes for no special reason. Rigus, not just your manor, but all manors in this area will pay tribute at this tax rate. ."

Is it just that? If Rurik decides to strictly implement the tax rate contract set by him, it will be a good thing for the future of White Tree Manor, because the tax level is not serious, and even in the long run, because a large number of new ripe fields have been obtained, and even thrown in For the expanded new farmland, even if one-tenth of each piece of farmland is taxed, the manor can still rely on a larger planting area to obtain far more food.

But how is the problem so simple?

Rurik continued his declaration: "Rigous, I noticed when I came here that the acres of your farm are arranged in a disorderly manner, and the area of ​​the farms is not uniform. The work of measuring the acres will also begin to be implemented. You... Do you know our stika (98㎝) from Ross?"

"I know. Your lord, my farm has long been using your weights and measures."

Rurik’s eyes lit up, “I’m still to blame for not knowing you well! Unexpectedly, you have been in contact with us for decades and accepted some of our things. Very good! The length and width are both 100stika, which will be regarded as a Rose hectare ( hectare), length and width are 10 stika to make one area, ten areas are one mu (mu)."

When Rurik formulated the rules for planning these acres, Rigus was actually a little confused.

It's easy to understand when it sounds dizzy. After all, the Principality of Ross must become like a real country. Of course, weights and measures must be unified across the country, especially when it comes to agricultural fields. Clearing acres of land is a time-consuming and critical national project. The area of ​​pure agricultural area controlled by Rurik sober is small, and the system has been set down earlier, so that the control area becomes larger and he is in trouble.

Stika is a unit of length inherent to the Vikings, and its length always makes Rurik think that it should be a meter, so a percent of stika is called a ministika.

After all, the unit of length is defined by people, and Lurik doesn't want to use the length of his feet to define what is a foot, and he does not want to use his current height to define what is a meter.

Based on the inherent and universal unit of length, stika was appointed by him as the smallest unit for field surveying.

He knows the definitions of hectare and area in modern English. They are actually modern and internationally used units of acre area. Since there is a very ready-made system, it is not wrong to copy and use them.

As for one hectare in the eastern style of fifteen acres, it is really troublesome to delineate the same amount of fifteen in one hectare. But the concept of "mu" is necessary. After all, one hundred areas is a hectare, which is too trivial. Especially nowadays there is not even paper, professional book clerks do not exist, the work of measuring acres cannot be done very precisely, and the area of ​​farmland should not be too trivial.

A hectare is divided horizontally into ten equal parts, which is one mu (mu).

In the afternoon, both Usky and Toli, who supervised the cleaning of the dead bodies, came back. They washed their hands with soap. The extreme cleanness made them feel that they had also washed away the bad luck by the way.

The two apologized to Rurik for being late, and Rurik first entertained them with boiled honey water, and then announced that the two estates would get one-tenth of the total seized farmland.

This seems to be a small area? For two small farms with a population of more than 700 people, they get ten tenths of farmland from a large farm that once had a population of 10,000. The two families divide equally, and the new ripened farmland they get is not equivalent to their own old farmland. Half of the total area? The two were very satisfied with the award. As for Lord Rurik's appointment of an eleven tax, did the two raise their hands in favor?

Why? Just because such taxes can be less than the tribute to be paid in the past! Lord Duke is really a merciful hero.

The joy of the two people, Rurik saw it really, and when he explained the planned new farm system, the two first looked at each other and supported it.

It was precisely in the evening when Rurik relied on the seizure of a large amount of agricultural materials to reward the army in the Pine Needle Manor occupied by him.

All the generals of the Russian army and the leaders of the Allied forces gathered here.

Some of the captured livestock were killed, and the noble people ate the barbecue. People near the sea have never experienced a lack of salt. The barbecue was sprinkled with high-quality Atlantic sea salt from the Balmerks, which made Usky and Toli ecstatic! Unexpectedly, if you really worked hard for the Ross people, you could eat salt wantonly.

This is the case in the area around Lake Ilmen. It seems that the area is very close to the sea, but in fact, it is basically impossible to float to the Gulf of Finland with the poor sailing ability of the local Slavs. What's more, the large area where the Neva River enters the bay is not so much the sea as it is a lake. The low salinity of the seawater seems to be okay even if it is used as fresh water.

The seized ale was drunk indiscriminately, and the spirits vodka carried were also shared by everyone.

Even, the spirits in the exquisite glass burned with blue flames, and this kind of good show was frequently staged in the wild laughter of everyone.

Don't watch Otto's old age. He held the clay pot and reached out to dig for honey. He looked like a bear in a hurry, and he was even more vigorous in drinking hard liquor.

No, he drank a small glass of burning liquor, and his gray beard was actually ignited. A piece of burlap was suddenly thrown on his face to ensure that his beard did not burn out...

Drinking a farce or drinking burning spirits, the Ross people have long been surprised. But this game is clearly a miracle in the eyes of Usky, the leader of the Calf Manor and Tory, the leader of the Angler Manor! In shock, they witnessed the Ross people sipping the burning wine in a crystal cup, which seemed to be cheap.

Because Arik was drunk, this kid had to show his uncle Otto that he was not afraid of strong alcohol. He arrogantly snatched the glass bottle and filled himself with two bottles. After a while, he felt that the world was spinning, and he forced himself not to be drunk while he was confused. The glass plate containing the barbecue also smashed. Seeing this ~www.readwn.com~ Everyone laughed at this kid as a big fool, no one regretted the glass ball.

Tonight, the Ross army began their triumphant carnival. They lit campfires everywhere and ate boiled oats and grilled fish.

The bonfires are so dense that they can be seen in the distant manor.

However, some uninvited guests have arrived in some manor houses. The dragon head battleship landed suddenly, and the people on the shore hid in panic. Only the manor chief cautiously approached and asked about the matter.

There are as many as five long ship soldiers divided into five routes to announce that the Duke of Ross has completely annihilated the fact that Pine Needle Manor is rebellious and has no survivors. The manor who received the information was ordered to arrive at the occupied Pine Needle Manor for a meeting within three days. Those who leave will be regarded as resisting and will encounter complete revenge.

Rurik gave the messenger enough time, and he also felt that he gave enough time to the manor owners.

In fact, three days are still a little nervous, but isn't the tight time also a good thing? They don't have time to linger, and the manor must come to the meeting quickly to accept the key arrangement of Duke Ross.

Even death...
