The Rise of Iceland

Olaf is basically satisfied with these concessions made by Uxenschiener. Although this is also earned by his military exploits, he will eventually give his people a foothold in the Swedish courts, not only in the future. Fortunately, it's easy to help Iceland and Vinland, and it's great for accumulating personal connections.

　　 Therefore, this exchange was very pleasant for both parties. It is also very beneficial to stabilize Sweden and gather strength to cope with the war. Therefore, after the content of the conversation between the two people was spread out, they did not dare to express their opinions.

　　On the third day of the agreement between Olaf and Uxenschena, more than twenty warships flying the flag of the Principality of Iceland and the flag of the Swedish Empire entered the port of Szczecin.

Hadar led Iceland’s only two thousand Viking soldiers and a large number of vanilla leather goods, caramel, bone china, spirits, dried fish, as well as Icelandic sheepskin, wool, cattle and sheep and other goods to Szczecin. , When Hadar went to meet Uxenchena, Olaf had already purchased a lot of goods through Pomeranian merchants.

　　 It is wartime, all consumables are hard currency, and the price is better than usual. As long as you can ensure the smooth flow of business, you will not worry about not being sold.

　　 When Hadar led the mission to Leipzig to join the war and came out of the governor's palace, he saw Olaf waiting for him.

　　 The father and son embraced affectionately, and then Olaf hugged Hudik behind his father again.

　　 Back at the Duke’s Castle, Hadar first went to visit his in-laws, Duke Boguslaw XIV, and then the father and son sat in Olaf’s room and talked about each other in detail.

Iceland’s population has been reduced by nearly half, but now that there is food and drink and a prosperous life, the number of cattle and sheep breeding has nearly doubled compared to previous years, and the population growth rate has also broken a new high. If there is no disaster, it will be restored within 30 years. The number has reached 60,000.

　　Iceland is the bridgehead between Vinland and Europe. It is also the spiritual home of the Vikings and the hometown of Icelanders. Therefore, the significance is very important. Olaf is in a better mood to learn about the development of Iceland.

　　In addition to talking about the situation in Iceland, Hadar also passed the letter sent by Heine to Olaf and explained the situation in Vinland.

The five-year plan formulated by Olaf last year is a guideline for Wenlan’s development. Now Wenlan’s labor force is barely enough. There are many deposits of gold, silver, copper and coal, plus abundant timber and grain. Raf’s plan is executed.

　　 Heine is the number one leader in internal affairs in Vinland, Iceland. With the support of gold and silver mines, food, and fisheries, he has achieved good results in the promotion of medical care, education, and commerce.

　　 After Descartes and a dozen other scholars were sent to Wenlan, Heine quickly surrendered them and built Olaf University for them, preparing them to train Viking teenagers in Wenlan.

　　 In Heine’s vision, Qinghe College and Olaf University will be Wenlan’s future medical school and the highest universities in natural sciences.

Olaf read the letter and listened to what his father said. He smiled and nodded, and said: "I have also accepted a few Jews in Poland. Later, I will pick some shrewd ones and send them to Vinland. They are all capable people in various fields. It can make Wenlan develop faster."

Since the appointment of Olaf as the governor of Vinland, Vinland hasn’t bothered how to develop Hadar, especially as Vinland’s status as a resource supply place is getting better and better, and every year it increases the share of many resources sent to Iceland. Dahl didn't even ask.

Hearing Olaf’s words, Hadar smiled and said: "You can figure it out. Why, I heard that Duke Boguslaw XIV wants you to marry Melkel in a few days? He wants to die. Seeing Melkel get married before, it's really true."

"Yeah, Dad, you wait a few days, and then go to Leipzig after me and Melkel are married. Anyway, more than two thousand of us will not play a key role. A few days and a few days will not affect the situation. , But you have to say to Uksenshina so that he will not target you again when he gets angry."

"Okay, I'll let Gilson go and tell Uxensena later. However, I am the Duke of Iceland and the head of the autonomous duchy of the Swedish Empire. I don’t have to pay too much attention to Uxensena when I want to do anything. It's the Minister of the Minister, aren't you? I'm the father of the Minister of the Minister, and it's okay to ignore him."

　　 Hadar snorted and asked, "You just said that Uksenshina had discussed with you about splitting the court. How many ministers did we get?"

　　 Olaf smiled softly and said: "The Congress and the Privy Council are his apologies. If there are too many, I can't think of it, a Secretary of the Army and a Secretary of the Navy."

　　 "It's just in charge of the training and recruitment of the army. When it comes to war, it doesn't necessarily make the decision. It's not very good."

　　 Hadar frowned.

　　 "I fought with him for a long time, and finally I asked for the nomination and appointment rights of the Governor of Finland and the Governor of Estonia, and the Governor of the Principality of Pomerania was also abolished."

　　 Olaf naturally knew that he had done a great job and was willing to cooperate, but it was not cost-effective to only get two peripheral ministers, so he said his proud hand again.

　　 Hadar's expression improved a lot, but he still said worriedly: "The two governors with real power are really good. It's just that our power in the parliament is too small and we don't have the right to speak. We will still be controlled everywhere in the future."

Olaf said indifferently: "This is already pretty good. If I hadn't done a great job on the Eastern Front, Uksenshina could make such a big profit? Besides, I am the godfather of the emperor and the commander of the gendarmerie regiment. I am the emperor. The neighbors of the People’s Republic of China also have the power of the two governors outside. With the cooperation of the inside and outside, speaking at a special time point may be more effective than the prime minister."

Hadar's face changed, and he squinted his eyes and smiled: "Okay, that's right. Where do you put your identity? The Minister of State, the Godfather of the Great, with the power of the governor from outside can be compared to the members of the Privy Council and the deputy ministers of Congress. Too much stronger."

　　 Father and son have not seen each other for two months.

　　 After a few days, congratulations and envoys from various principalities arrived in Szczecin. Even Christensen I sent a pair of ivory bracelets and an ivory cane.

　　 The news that Melkel, the sole heir of the Pomeranian Principality, wants to marry the second minister of the Swedish Empire and the godfather Olaf has already become the biggest news in European countries.

Even if it is a hostile country, Austria and Spain sent a gift, not to mention the other Britain, France, and Russia. The only thing that didn’t respond was the Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania~www.readwn.com~Olav’s current identity It was different from when he was engaged in the past, and the courtesy he received is naturally different. It is only now that Olaf is awakened with hindsight, and he knows the identity of his minister, the godfather, Earl of Wenlan, and the marshal of East Road. I feel that he has become an important person in the eyes of politicians in various countries in Europe, because he has the status of being courteous by the king no matter where he goes.

While expressing gratitude to the envoys of various countries, it became obvious that Poland did not come to congratulate. Olaf had a deep hatred for the Poles and decided to go to three dozen Lithuania after a while (the central and northern part of the Polish-Lithuanian Confederation is the Lithuanian region). , The southern region is the Crown Territory of Poland, Olaf fought in Lithuania on both occasions, and the Cossack uprising was in the Kyiv region southeast of the Crown Territory).

The kings and nobles of Poland and Lithuania dared to contempt the ministers of the Swedish empire and the godfather of the Great Emperor. This is to contempt Sweden, Iceland, and Vinland. Olaf felt that the old and new grudges were counted together, and he had to clean up Poland and Lithuania. .

　　 With resentment towards Poland, Olaf and Melkel held their wedding ceremony in the Ducal Fort.

An old pastor held the Bible and asked them about the simple but at the same time easy to be vows. After the two firmly answered yes, the old pastor blessed the couple on behalf of God, and then sat in the audience. Seeing all this, Duke Boguslaw XIV shed tears.
