Chapter 859： Stockholm Governor's Palace opened

The enthronement ceremony is completely over, and thousands of fighters are kept in Uppsala. This is a huge mouth.

They have to start production, at least they have to be self-sufficient in terms of food.

The army will not be withdrawn. When the grain trade in the Swedish region begins in the autumn, these fighters are transformed into porters.

Eight boats are equivalent to one thousand six hundred pounds of silver coins. At the price of one pound of silver for one thousand pounds of new oats, it is a huge wealth of 1.6 million pounds of new wheat.

This ship-buying transaction is less profitable in a certain sense, because the market price of new wheat always drops sharply during the harvest season, even plummeting to an ridiculous level of seventeen pounds for a silver coin.

Lurik can fully think of the happiness of the great nobles. They got the big ship, and the payment was paid at a high price for the large amount of dehydrated oat grains. Everyone saved a lot of money.

So Rurik suffers completely? Not at all. The mass-produced standard cargo ships are manufactured by three national construction shipyards, and each shipyard has two wooden docks, in which two hulls can be built at the same time.

With the current progress, each shipyard has no problem launching eight ships a year. Because the craftsmanship has become more mature, the craftsmanship has improved, and there are more and more apprentices, the Ross shipbuilding industry has great potential in the macro, and the cost is evenly distributed to each ship, but it is getting smaller and smaller.

A slender, light-moving standard cargo ship (which can also double as a trawler), except that the total cost of weapons and equipment is less than one hundred pounds of silver coins.

The entire Ross fleet anchored in the inner lake of the Uppsala tribe began to move, and Ruriek wanted to leave with his army temporarily, so he had a heart-to-heart talk with his own Lumi.

Mingming has become a real woman, she still seems ignorant and ignorant.

caressing her face, Rurik thinks of Lumia many years ago.

Take a good look at this Lumi. At that time, she was the youngest daughter of the leader of the Corvin Salmon Lord tribe. It was an isolated tribe. There is a high probability that the lovely Lumi will never leave that small forest and The river is like a bird in a cage, not knowing the vastness of the world.

Now, he is the highest priest of the Uppsala Temple in the Kingdom of Ross!

She is not very old because of her position. In any case, King Rurik is the only man in her life, even if the king has a large number of wives and concubines because he is the supreme.

Do not see the king again, I'm afraid it will be next year! Maybe by that time, his own child was also born.

She treated her man in the way of a woman for the last time, and also used this kind of intimate behavior to ensure that she would definitely be a mother.

Lumi stayed here, wearing a helmet with antlers, wearing a bear skin, and holding a new wooden staff inlaid with precious stones. Everything about her is imitating Lumia, the high priest of Rose, the woman who basically has the same name as herself.

led many newly recruited lower-level priestesses. With complex emotions, she watched King Rurik and the main force of the fleet sail along the river to Lake Mälaren...

She is no longer a follower of the high priest, but the highest high priest of the kingdom in Sweden. She guards this huge Uppsala temple and sacred tree, and is guarded by the entire Uppsala tribe.

"Will you throw Rumi directly over there, really?" Rumia stood at the bow of the boat, pulling Rurik's arm.

"It's cruel, isn't it?"

"Perhaps this is her destiny, it is her...too lonely."

"This is destiny." Rurik emphasized lightly.

Lumia murmured: "I also have some doubts about the Uppsala people, whether they support Lumi."

"They must support. Lumia..." Rurik subconsciously squeezed Lumia's chin and pulled her into his arms. "You are like Lumi's sister. I understand that you care about her. But. She can't always be your deputy. Our daughter Velika is your real deputy. Arranging Rumi in Uppsala has less disputes, and she must be alone."

Mention of Velika, this is where the high priest's heart is soft. The king was right, Rumi must leave.

"I didn't treat Rumi badly either." Rurik continued, "Next year I will conquer Jotalan and lay a new territory. Then we will hold an expedition and sacrifice. The place can only be the Uppsala Temple. At that time, she will be the person who presides over the sacrifice."

"Oh, this is a good thing."

The king is so close to the high priest, Queen Svetlana is inevitably jealous. So what can it be? He became a mother by himself, with adopted son Regrav and his own son Osben Slav. Osborn is still in her infant, and her mind is basically on the child.

Different wives and concubines have uniform and different attitudes towards the king. They all grow up to the age when they must be mothers. Those wives and concubines who have not yet been as usual are anxious.

They clung to King Rurik and praised him as a real man, and they blurted out countless sweet love words.

The powerful Countess of Port Narvik, Noren, announced that the King must be the closest wife and concubine during the last stay in Mellaren.

She got her wish, but the happiness of being favored is only for a noble countess.

Noren, who loves rhythm, this textbook-like young Viking noblewoman, and the sister of the king of the British Viking York Kingdom, began to look forward to the birth of her son.

The former Rurik made a major expedition of "discovering the Arctic Ocean and establishing a Murmansk stronghold". At that time, the daughter of the leader of the Corvin gray squirrel tribe, Sepolava, had also grown up.

After surrendering, most of the Corvins were moved to the deepest part of the Gulf of Bothnia, guarding the huge chromite ore to build the northernmost and largest iron smelting center in Ross, and that city was a salmon-catching city, and it was also a pan The largest trade node for land connections in Norway. The eldest son of Sepolawa will inherit the post of the lord or governor of Elronburg. Because of the mother's identity, this child will not have a fief, but can only inherit the city lord and be directly responsible to the royal family for generations.

Seporava became a woman at the Gould Island Fortress on the lake in the Kingdom of Ross.

A real man is most angry at being said "no" by others, and a powerful king must set an example to the noble subjects.

He was thinking, anyway, there is still a while before the wheat harvest, he guards a large group of wives, concubines and children, eats fragrant and spicy food every day, and is afraid that he can live into a pile of fat in his spare time. He fully understands how the Gould family is fat.

He firmly believes that he is in excellent physical fitness. After taking the ceremony of proclaiming the king, he is one by one the ten girls from the White Tree Manor that his father selected for him eleven years ago. Ten girls, Lurik, have been busy for ten days. They, as a king, after experiencing this dream for more than ten days, what he really hopes is that he can sleep for two days in order to restore his weak body.

At this point, only Ella, who is in Novgorod and manages the historical documents of Ross, has not yet become a real woman. She will not wait any longer.

Lurik can think about how the army stationed on the island would evaluate their king. Such glorious deeds of the king have already been spread in Stockholm.

The ordinary life requires fun. The things about men and women are the things that everyone loves to hear and chew their tongues, not to mention the hero of the story is the king.

At first, some people didn't believe it, but now the nickname of the "April Bull" of King Rurik has been implemented.

All the wives and concubines were very satisfied, and the old Otto was even more satisfied. As the ruler of the past, Otto did not bring Ross unprecedented glory. As an old father, almost all his son’s marriage problems were confided by himself, and the girls who personally selected them all repaired the results after so many years.

Otto felt better again. He ate meat and drank with his old friends in the fortress of Gould Island to reminisce about the old days.

He squeezed his wine glass and yelled about his achievements with his relatives and friends through Jiu Jin. He even scolded his eldest nephew: "Aric, you have to learn from your brother, marrying two is too few! Anyway, you are also a duke, and you can choose a good place to live a good life in the future, you only have one. Sgard, this is not good."

My uncle was drunk crazy, but thinking of what his uncle said, I was really upset. He said: "My Peravina has another son, Kiel. The heirs of my Asraki can't inherit any land. I still love them so much, I really don't want to marry again."

"Absurd!" An emotionally excited, Otto smashed a glass, thinking of his life, he couldn't help but feel sad.

King Otto, the old duke, is the supreme king. The king inherited the power of his father and was promoted to the king. Otto didn't think this was so, he cried bitterly because his own brother Ogier died too early.

He stabilized in the comfort of the crowd, and then took a sip of strong alcohol. He was flushed with tears on his face and persuaded Arik: "Your father Ogier also hopes that you will give him a large group of children. Hurry up. Go find some pretty women..."

Before he finished speaking, Old Otto lay down suddenly, and then snored loudly.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and Arik doesn’t comment on his younger brother. He is not a erotic, but it is a fact that there are many wives and concubines. Although Arik is a martial artist, for many years, there is a clever Asraki around him who has made suggestions, and he has become more aware of his status in the entire country.

"You can't and shouldn't try to compare with your brother, he is the real king, you are not. Doing your duty as a fighter, chasing your dream is enough." Asraqi once persuaded.

What is a dream? Arik's biggest dream in this life is to become the No. 1 Berserker in Ross. He didn't want to use his mind to calculate, he just wanted to bathe the enemy's blood in the battlefield with a weapon in his hand.

This time King Rurik wanted to conquer Jotaland, and Arik, who hadn't fought for some years, was full of energy.

Lurik spends all his time on caring for his wife and concubine. After all, he is defeated by reality. He has to eat more than ten roasted lamb's kidneys, and then sleeps madly alone.

Although he has become a king, facing the political ecology of the Swedish region, the cost-effective method of governance is to control the largest temple and the largest trading city. All kinds of work have been arranged, although there are no serious technocrats, but there are still technical talents.

On Gould Island, Arik, the captain of the First Banner, rushed to rectify the hundreds of young soldiers he had brought over before the autumn harvest in Sweden.

The average age of the soldiers is only fourteen years old, but as observed by local civilians, no one thinks they are really only fourteen years old.

The best training is to use wooden sticks and wooden shields to fight each other. If you are afraid of injury, fight with your bare hands.

In this way, the school field inside Gould’s fortress became a barbaric training ground. According to their inherent formation, one team fought against the other, and they improved their fighting ability in the chaos. Also because of learning specialized fighting skills, such fighting has become quite dangerous.

No one was killed. Many of the beaten children were there.

It’s an open secret for Ross to train the cubs in this way. Although most of the tribe knew that Rose was training young soldiers in this way, it was his tribe's turn to be really incapable and dare not.

A very bad situation worries other tribes-wound infection.

Ross used distilled alcohol to clean the wound on a large scale, and a large amount of honey has covered the wound. These medical methods adapted to local conditions made the soldiers not afraid of injury at all, so it does not matter if they are brutal during training.

Although it is training, the guys of the same race are really easily irritated when fighting, and the level of attack is getting more and more severe.

A group of wolves fighting inwardly will surely kill a group of ruthless people. This group of children are all standing troops that Rülik has trained. Although they are all young, two of them are extremely arrogant. They all hope to stand out and be used by the king, so that they are not only a real man admired by others, but also a certain amount of power in the future.

They sometimes "combat training", and sometimes they learn to sail and fish.

Logistics materials can still support such a large army, but facing the huge Mälaren Lake, doing nothing is too stupid.

was supposed to be a standard cargo ship sold to the tribes of the subjects. Together with other large ships, these eight ships dropped their nets and started trawling fishing operations.

A part of the boats left Lake Mälaren to catch herring at the mouth of the sea. Part of it is fishing perch and cod in the inner lake.

Lake Mälaren is very huge, reaching 100 kilometers from east to west, and the population around the lake is only 50,000 people including a large number of babies.

The aquatic products in the lake are actually very huge. The Ross ship enters the waters that they are also unfamiliar with, and throws the fishing nets to cruise. This kind of luck fishing is not bad.

The food for the Russian army and auxiliary personnel has actually ended. As Vikings, everyone cut off the bones and internal organs of the European perch. The remaining winter is basically two pieces of fresh fish, which is directly swallowed with a big mouth. inside.

It is even possible to transport a batch of fresh fish to the Ross shop in Stockholm Port.

Birka changed its name to Stockholm. This was originally the traditional control area of ​​the Mälaren tribe. Now she has become a de jure jurisdiction of the king!

In fact, a group of people from Mellaren lived in the former Port of Birka. Almost all of them lived by fishing for fish and did not have their own farmland to grow wheat.

At least two thousand men, women, old and young fishermen live in Birka. They live in simple sheds and are financially able to strengthen them. Another group of people are busy with commercial activities. They also have their own land. Buying and reselling supplies is another way of making money.

Stockholm is a free trade port. The ten-year tax exemption ordered by the king is the same for anyone in the port area.

The merchant fishermen saw the king's fleet marching to the port area mightily, and dropped the anchor to choose a large berth. Those masts are like woods, and the big ship is hill after hill.

It is fair to say that all the ships of the Ross Fleet are not large, and the largest ship has a full displacement of only 300 tons. Even so, it refreshes the public's perception.

The manager of the Mälaren people in Stockholm was removed and replaced by the big white fat white fox. His ancestral home is Anklas, and he is now a native of Russ, and he is also a king's celebrity.

The governor of the city is Fatty White Fox. He controls the Ross store and the largest wine shop in the city.

The transfer of power was very peaceful, although when it was heard that the king had returned to the throne in the city and caused a group of people to flee, when it was learned that the tax exemption for ten years led to more people rushing over. After all, in the past, ordinary people did not have the money to pay taxes to land in the city to do business.

The scale of the city is expanding, and maintaining order is a problem facing the white fox. His handling method is quite simple, because the cause of the confusion is people, then solve the problem of people.

Are there rogues in Stockholm? Naturally there is.

The old patrols of the Mälaren people were reserved. They swore allegiance to the king and were allowed to inherit their current status. The so-called patrol is the guard force that maintains order. In order to face the new situation, a group of mercenaries who are looking for employers in the city have been recruited.

In fact, who is the land ruffian and the city gangster, the businessmen doing business here know, but the businessmen are raising private soldiers, and the gangsters dare not do anything to the businessmen.

The existence of the gangster is to slander the authority of the king, and must attack these wicked people.

At this moment, the white fox is in power. Thinking of his brother Blue Fox daring to fight with a sword in Hazeby, Denmark, his brother has become a businessman who is good at fighting. How can he continue to be a naive fat seal?

He was authorized by Rurik to ensure a peaceful trading environment in the Stockholm port area. As for the means, that is the business of Arctic Fox.

Lurik is still asleep, the port of Stockholm is not as good as trouble.

The king is here! Want to kill Liwei!

After an assault battle, the police force of the port area lost some brothers. In the end, more than fifty gang members were arrested. Maybe there are hidden evildoers, the big evildoers are now kneeling on the sandy ground of the execution ground.

Thousands of people watched here, including the abdicated Duke Bjorn. All the patriarchs of the big families of the Mellaren tribe are here, and they are here to see the king to kill and establish his might.

The big fat white fox said with a deep voice: "The king is here! Stockholm will be at peace! The king is here! Don’t be afraid of doing business! The king is here! You are tax-free for ten years when you do business honestly!"

These declarations are too useful for ordinary fishermen In the face of the criminal gang, the fishermen spit and throw stinky fish and shrimps.

The mentality of the nobles of Mellaren has also changed. The governor, the white fox appointed by the king, is not a greedy villain. He has always abided by the rules of the industry, but it is strange that he has become violent this time. They have no objection, and all the wicked will be executed. After all, when Olekin was in the past, the villain had to be a man with his tail clipped, and when he met the mediocre Bjorn, the villain emerged.

At least here, Olekin will execute these villains with more extreme methods.

The guards armed with a double-edged wood axe chopped off the criminals’ heads one by one. Every hack and slash won the cheers of the people.

The wicked have already been punishable, and the blue flag with a white background of Ross flutters in Stockholm.

The death of the wicked seems to be a sacrifice to the flag, because just in front of the largest building of the Ross shop, a giant tree stood, the tall spruce became a flagpole, and a very wide Ross flag was flying in the wind.

This flag is of great significance, and it means that the Stockholm Governor's Palace of the Rus Kingdom has opened! The Governor’s Office is the fortress of Gould Island, now the residence of the King.

While in the Ross shop area in the city, it immediately became the Yamen office and the residence of all the servants.

The white fox felt that he had stabilized the law and order after the heavy blow, and also shocked the whole city. This upcoming harvest season has established a stable and safe trading environment for oats, flax and leather.
