, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!
Svetlana was really eye-opening when he really entered the wooden wall of Roseburg.
She saw a large number of scattered wooden houses, very subtle, one after another quite the feeling of hometown Novgorod.
She also noticed a special building, which was actually the temple of the Rus people? What is enshrined in it is the Odin they believe in?
Svetlana followed the team obediently, and finally stood beside a huge building. The sun shining on the shadow of the house easily covered her. She raised her head and realized that this huge wooden house was actually built on a rock foundation?
Especially the gray-white foundation, is it a stone as a whole? Is this reasonable?
Rurik realized that his first wife was actually a curious baby, and the girl was busy looking up at the sky, like a surprised little fool.
"Lanna, let's go!" Rurik yelled casually, holding Lumia in his arms.
On the other hand, Nolen, she had been pulled by the Carlotta sisters, happily ascended to the base, and then stepped on the wooden ladder to go straight to the second floor.
Although he was also very surprised, Rurik must now admit that the "palace" built since the ice and snow showed signs of melting has been completely completed.
Let's look at this building. The essence of this building is to stack according to the height of the woodcut base. It is stacked with wood under the frame of the tenon and tenon structure. The interior is divided into three layers, and the roof is the most traditional herringbone roof. .
The first floor is the conference hall. Compared with the shed inherent in the tribe or the house of the leader's house, no building is more spacious than this!
The second floor is the owner's house, which has as many as twenty rooms, enough to accommodate all of Rlik's wives and concubines.
The third floor can be used as a storage room as well as a secret space for discussing confidential matters.
As for the small attic formed under the herringbone roof, it is the most mysterious place.
This house basically satisfies Rurik's needs for "modern life", but unfortunately there is no water pipe system and power supply system. The plumbing system can theoretically be made. But electricity! This kind of thing is really impossible to implement.
The house is tall, it is the tallest building in the entire Roseburg, it is no wonder that Svetlana would look up and marvel at this girl.
It's tall and stable because of its concrete foundation!
Take a good look at the entire wall of Roseburg! Although it is for cost-effective considerations, the main material selected for the city wall is wood that is readily available, but its foundations are all piled with rammed earth and gravel, and there is a layer of cement.
The minds of the Roths are no worse than those of the people a thousand years later. Their lack of knowledge is simply that they have not received education. They instinctively yearn for new knowledge and new technology to improve their lives.
Since Rurik taught Ross's blacksmith family "atomism", they have quickly used their knowledge of elemental reactions to re-understand their work.
When Rurik pointed out the materials used to formulate ordinary construction cement and related chemical reaction models in a low-key manner, they did not show any surprise to exclaim any great gods, they were all enthusiastic and succeeded in creating the formula given by Rurik. A usable mineral binder.
Reinforcing one's own house, this matter has very real and urgent requirements. Since the solidified cement can make the house stronger, it can better withstand the pressure of snow in winter.
Throughout the summer, the people of Roseburg used a batch of lime and stream sands. In making cement, potters in the tribes also worked as cement artisans. Demand promoted the birth of the industry, and potters made a big profit. pen.
Not only that, since it is profitable, as long as you go deep into the mountains to dig limestone, or run to the ditch upstream of the fjord to dig the river sand, Ross's women and children can be said to be together.
The entire Roseburg action, even if there is no "national-level" military operation, it is profitable to target the entire Roseburg large-scale infrastructure. Who will be lazy?
Harrodsson is as old as he is, and he has been appointed to stay in his hometown to preside over major events for a long time in the past few years.
In the large-scale construction this summer, this old guy really did a good job of a "governor".
All those who participated in the labor received their due remuneration.
Most people, including the Mellaren people who have immigrated here, have a sum of money in their hands. You can earn silver coins and copper coins without going out to fight, and then just wait for the Lord Duke to return with a lot of supplies! At that time, everyone took the silver coins and went to the shop set up by the Lord Duke to buy a delicious meal for the winter at the price of ten pounds of wheat for a silver coin.
After all, this really has a very realistic demand.
The women who were taken captive, bought, and spontaneously immigrated here, now almost all of them are holding their newborn babies.
There are also many people holding one belly and another.
Rurik actually greatly underestimated the fertility of the Ross people. He estimated that the number of newborns in Roseburg increased by two thousand, but in fact it was three thousand at all!
The young fighters did not expedition this year. Most of them got their own women in the previous wars. These women all gave birth to children. Not to mention, they don't care that their women are still in the nursery period, and they are letting their own women. With pregnancy.
Now it is not an exaggeration to describe Roseburg as a child's nest.
On the first day of his return, Rurik followed his promise with his first woman, Lumia, who was in his room. This was also the first night that Rurik stayed in the "palace". The soft and warm leather bed was lying on the big bed with his own woman and the child in his womb. Needless to say, he felt happy.
Svetlana and Nolan are also assigned to their own rooms, in essence, all wives and concubines have their own rooms. Only the ten maids, and Lumia's root Lumi, these eleven people still live in the old dormitory, accompanied by Palla, who is good at making soap.
Lord Duke is back! The Ross people should enter the winter life trajectory!
The things of the duke family, such as Otto's over-loyalty to love and inability to accept concubines, and the extreme **** of Lord Rurik, are blankets that the Ross people like to hear.
When the men talked about the many wives and concubines of Rurik, they were all envious. Many people have also set their ambitions. The so-called in the next war, they will bring back a woman to be a concubine, and they will have to grab a lot of silver coins so that they can support more and more women and children.
With many wives and concubines, I am afraid that any man will have this kind of harem dream.
Now that the dream comes true, although Rurik doesn't want to worry too much, he knows that he must gather all his wives and concubines together and let them make an oath to determine their identities, and at the same time promise each other to form sisters and love each other in the form of oaths.
One clear morning, three days have passed since the fleet returned.
Rurik took his six most important wives, Carlotta, Ella, Sepolava, Lumia, Noren and Svetlana, as well as as many as ten including Lumi. A maid (concurrently serving as a lower priest) enters the third floor of the "palace".
The seventeen girls all sat quietly on the leather cushions, facing the window opened by Rurik himself, letting the early winter sun dissipate the cold and let the sun shine on them.
Rurik stood by the window, standing at this height, he could overlook most of Roseburg.
He turned around, pinched his waist and looked at his concubines proudly.
He also distracted from his parents, and now he is the real Duke of Ross, when he signs a contract with all his wives and concubines.
With an almost arrogant smile, Rurik said, "You! All my women! All will give birth to many children for me. This is your destiny. You are noble, but some people are generally noble. Some are more noble, some are the noble. Now, after hearing my name, sit in the place I identified."
Their faces and their corresponding names, Rurik, remember very clearly.
"Svetlana! Sit there."
"Lumia! Sit here."
"Carota, Ella, Sepolava, Noren, Rumi. Sit in this position."
"Everyone else, sit there."
He divided his wives and concubines into four parts, and all seventeen wives and concubines were arranged in one, one, five, and ten.
The girls have different attitudes, some are happy, some are curious, and even questionable.
For example, Lumia, she never thought that her follower Lumi would be regarded as a wife and concubine by Rurik, and even to see if this was true, he obviously wanted to give Lumi a higher status. To be honest, Lumia likes this little sister very much, after all, both of them are good at communicating in Old Finnish.
The clever Lumia had seen the doorway, and the witty Carlotta and Ella had already understood what Rurik meant.
Taking this opportunity, Rurik pointed to the sun symbolizing Odin's power: Just as Odin has a wife and a Valkyrie, they are all Odin's wives! But there is also a clear hierarchy between the wives and concubines. I'm by Odin. Those of Ding Blessing, as my concubines, I also want to give you clear grades."
Speaking of this, some girls are eager to try.
Rurik raised his right hand and insisted: "Don't talk, listen to my arrangements. Now you have seen that I will divide my wives and concubines into four levels."
"Svetlana!" Rurik deliberately said in Ancient Cyrillic: "You are the wife of the old duke appointed to me, and this cannot be changed. You are indeed my wife, and the heirs you give birth will always inherit from Duke Ross. Status. But it's all based on your loyalty."
Svetlana, what she has learned the most in her hometown in recent years is to obey her husband. She sat on her side nervously, bowed her head respectfully, and motioned; "I will."
Rurik nodded and said: "Lumia, you are my first woman, and the poor woman by Odin, the true successor to the high priest. Odin has decided, you and your heirs, You will always inherit the position of High Priest of Rose. You must not disobey the Duke of Rose, you must not blaspheme the spirit, and you must not be arrogant because of your noble position."
"I... I dare not! I am the most pious priest."
"Very good. Next are Carlotta and Ella. You are the sisters of Ostara, the true nobles of the Ostra tribe. Carlotta, your children and I will inherit Ostara. Leadership. Ella, I will give you a very important and special job called the recorder. I want you to be in charge of the documents of the old times. I want you and your children to record the documents of Ross's future. I Your children will no longer enjoy Ostara's inheritance, and I will now give you the name Hestoria."
"Ruriek, this..." Ella heard it inexplicably.
"Listen, I want you to record the great achievements of the Ross people in the past and in the future. I have noticed you a long time ago. You have never had the courage of your sister, but your calmness is the ability that the recorder needs most. Don't think too much, accept me. You have no right to question the arrangement."
"Yes." Ella bowed her head respectfully and said nothing.
"Sepolawa, the daughter of the Iron Squirrel tribe. Now Fort Elon is the core of our Ross's steel, and your children and I will have the control over Fort Elon Orava and the Northern Territory."
"Then... my brother."
"Don't talk too much. Accept my arrangement."
"Yes"
Rurik said again: "Rumi! You are a humble person, and now I grant you permission to be a woman. I and your children have the rule over the Eastern scholars."
In fact, Lumi didn't know what happened, so he just agreed.
"Noren, the daughter of the leader of Balmerk, your child and I have rule over Balmerk."
Now that the matter has been very thorough, Nolan did not hesitate, and immediately expressed his complete agreement.
Finally, Rurik's eyes scanned the ten Slavic maids.
"You, Anna, Bella, Sisia, Diana, Yeka, Fenna, Greta, Helena, Ilya, Yulia. The ten of you are in a low status, even as my concubines, your status It is still lower than the other sisters. But this is your destiny. You will all have children for me, and your sons will become the war chiefs under me, leading the Russian army to open up the territory for me. Your son will definitely To open up a new territory for Ross, I will also appoint them as the leaders of the new territory."
The wives and concubines are divided into four levels, and now it is indeed a purely hierarchical system that can keep the harem stable.
But this is not enough.
Rurik took out a total of eighteen glasses that he had prepared. He arranged the glasses in a row in front of his concubine and filled them with light yellow low-alcohol ale.
Then, a sharp knife lay on the ground.
In front of his wives and concubines, Rurik pierced his finger and dripped his blood into the eighteen wine glasses.
"Now, you do it! Odin is watching us! We must make Odin a great witness and establish a blood alliance."
Lumia understood that she was the first one to stand up. No matter, Noren followed closely, and this girl must know that his two brothers and Rurik had made the oath of blood in the far north of the world at the end of the sea.
Although very crazy, they all pierced their fingers. As for what to do next, everyone can guess.
Rurik picked up a glass of wine and made them all.
With a sullen face, he raised his glass to face the sun.
The other girls felt the pain of their fingers meaninglessly, and they also faced the sun.
Rurik drank the ale, and they all cheered.
"Now, all of you are sisters, and all of you are my wives and concubines. We will always be a family, and our children will always be a family. God looks at us. If we or our descendants forget our vows, we will suffer. When it comes to punishment, our family will also be in danger. Do you understand?"
They nodded one after another~www.mtlnovel.com~ Seems like this is all right?
Of course, Rurik didn't believe that this sister group formed with blood as an alliance would last forever, at least for decades or even a hundred years, it should guarantee the stability of the entire family.
However, as for one hundred years, two hundred years, or even five hundred and one thousand years, who knows?
At least in this wild and dense forest, population and settlements are extremely sparse now, Rurik knows that his very special historical mission is to control the regime established by himself, through desperate reproduction, let his children kill all parties. Open up the frontiers and expand the land, use yourself as an example to let your subjects follow the desperate fertility, and form an armed immigrant army to build new settlements with the descendants of the expedition.
So, is seventeen wives enough? Maybe not enough.
As the so-called King of Wen Baizi, Kangxi and Qianlong's heirs are all over one hundred.
The monarch should be so.
Rurik also has strong self-confidence in the body.
