, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!
The sun went down and the afterglow dissipated below the sea level.
Stars envelop the world, and the temperature is extremely low. The opposite of low temperature is the excitement of Roseburg.
A large amount of wood waste materials, branches, and dead wood were piled up, and a huge wooden tower was successfully piled up. The piled tower has become a new nation. The so-called burning tower is a gift to the gods, and every household must contribute a little firewood.
No matter where they are from, they are now Ross people, and the worship of flames is welcomed by everyone.
The hour has come, the stars are grouped together, the aurora is a green streamer, and suddenly a meteor passes by!
Someone raised his hand to the sky: "That's Valkyrie on parade!"
But the meteor suddenly dissipated, and some people were stubborn, raising their hands to forcefully say that he saw the meteor, and saw the smile of the old priest Veria, who was transformed into a Valkyrie.
People evoke empathy for words, regardless of whether they really see a meteor, his family means that they have seen the image of the old priest.
The rumors are getting more and more outrageous, and some people even claim that he personally received the blessing of the gods.
"Maybe there is a god. Veria, you are indeed the Valkyrie. All of us agree that you are the Valkyrie." Rurik doesn't comment on the rumors, but in his heart he hopes that these useful rumors will spread. Wider.
In a rising principality, people from at least three cultural groups have gathered to form a new Rose.
It was the native Russ who used force to conquer a principality, so she naturally has the possibility of splitting. Unless, all people admire the same thing, such as flames.
Under the wooden tower, all the people of all colors who lived in Roseburg gathered here. Not only them, but also people from Elronburg, Covenstad and Tombstone Island, they came to participate in this grand event in reindeer sleighs and horse sleighs.
The men put on armed sacred spirits and the women put on floral clothes and tried their best to make themselves colorful. A large group of children were running around, and the swaddled babies yelled and cried.
There were lit torches everywhere, and a wreath of flames burned on the Roseburg wooden wall.
Lumia stared at the antler helmet and chanted the sacrificial text again, and Rurik personally beheaded the five reindeer.
The handsome face of the young boy and the beard that had just grown were stained with deer's blood red, and Rlik held a burning torch high and threw it into the dry pyre.
Under the stars, moonlight, and aurora, smoke billowed from the frozen beach of Roseburg.
Soon, the first flame ignited, and the pupils of more than 10,000 spectators also lit up flames. They stood and stared at the flames and gradually turned into fire dragons, and then felt the refreshing warmth...
The tower of fire has been burning, and the firewood has been piled up continuously.
Until the new dawn breaks through the darkness before dawn, people no longer need a fire tower to illuminate the darkness.
The soft light of the morning light cast on the faces of tens of thousands of people who watched the sunrise on the ice field.
Welcome to 834 AD!
The daylight hours in the few days after sunrise are still very short, and then this time will quickly lengthen, and it will stretch to occupy half of the whole day in three months.
The 834 year of the Julian calendar has arrived.
As the highest noble of the Principality, his childish face is attractive enough, but now his eye sockets are very obvious, and his eyes are beginning to become deep and sharp.
This Nordic body began to grow golden fluff vigorously. Only the wife and concubines knew where the clothes were wrapped. Only the cheeks, lips and chin, the fluff was clearly visible.
Many old guys who grew up with Otto, they thought of Otto when they saw this young boy.
Otto was also a beautiful boy and a good fighter. Because of this, he has the right to marry the beautiful Niya.
It was a distant past, and Ross was no longer the small tribe who lived by himself.
Nowadays, all the known world north of Tombstone Island is completely the territory of the Duchy of Ross, and the people living on it, either their own family members or servants, no longer exist any forces that can threaten the power of Ross.
If there is, it is the Karelian who needs to be conquered.
So this year, in accordance with the promise made to the Suomi people last year, take the Karelians to operate?
Rurik had no intention of covering up his ambitions. He began to deliberately utter cruel words, shouting out a slogan that made all the strong men thrilled: "Use Rose's sword and shield to compete for living space in the sun."
The Duke is going to war again! May I ask if there are still enemies in this world that my brothers are afraid of?
The Danes are obviously unfounded, the group of allies in Svealand are dejected losers, and one of the British guys are stupid.
Ross is stronger than before, because among the mercenaries who are ordered to participate in the logging work are a group of native Balmerks. Everyone believes in Odin and has exactly the same warrior culture.
The Balmerk mercenaries are not only for money, they feel that following Rurik will continue to achieve themselves in victory after victory, and finally become heroic spirits.
How can you just let yourself be accounted for by a good thing? There are still brothers in my hometown who are unwilling to emigrate to Britain. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to directly raise the flag of Ross?
With the extension of the daytime, the work that was suspended due to the extreme cold has been fully resumed.
In early January, another small-scale cold current descended south, giving the already frozen world another rather severe snowfall. Fortunately, the snowfall process only lasted three days.
What's this? As usual, people sweep the snow piles in front of the door and build them into snow piles, and then shovel the blood clots onto the sled to pull out the city.
After the snow, the construction speed of Blast Furnace Town has been greatly accelerated.

The wooden piles at the core of the wall are all built, and the rest is to build the wall around these solid wooden piles. Inside the wall, not only have the wooden piles used to construct the woodcut slats built, but they have also begun to stack wooden walls to build wooden floors.
As far as the construction of wooden houses is concerned, Ross has not only learned the techniques of the Slavs, but also made improvements and innovations on its basis. In Rurik's view, these are nothing innovations, but rely on the existing technical level to create the traditional wooden houses that are common in Europe before the electrical age.
A large number of woodcuts are for the craftsmen to live and live, and the apparently simple wooden houses are simply warehouses.
A clearing was deliberately left, and the original roots on it were dug out. The land was leveled, and some simple sheds that leaked air were placed on it.
Here will stand a blast furnace, as well as a large number of auxiliary small furnaces.
A hill of iron ore is being piled up, and the ore dug from the mountain is covered with a layer of snow, making it even more magnificent.
Regarding the construction of Blast Furnace Town, ore mining, timber transportation and processing, traditional leather and linen production, soap manufacturing, and even ship construction, Lirik has no need to personally supervise these matters.
He couldn't even violate supervision. Tens of thousands of people created a pair of invisible hands by doing their own work, and Roseburg's economy was operating benignly.
Rurik was convinced that what he personally had to do was to control the most important things, namely precious metals, metalware, salt and food.
These physical resources actually rely on his personal power to rule, and the so-called divinity is actually the icing on the cake.
In the past period of time, people of all kinds made a lot of money by selling their labor. Rurik also promptly brought out more wheat and salt in January, and the terms of the purchase restriction were also relaxed, so that the silver coins that were basically issued were recovered.
A lot of wheat! Today's wheat is nothing short of profit for the ruler of Ross.
Looting from Britain, collecting grain from new farmland in Novgorod Sorgon, reclaiming wasteland at the mouth of the Neva River, it seems that there is only transportation and labor costs. Only in the area around Lake Mlaren is a huge sum of money to buy food.
The military operation in 833 solved the food problem for the next year for the first time. More than two million pounds of wheat was taken from seizures and sorghum. After paying the soldiers' due remuneration, Rurik still got such a large amount of food in vain.
In Ross, the anchor of silver coins is food. A large consumer market has formed within the Principality of Ross, but it still appears to be very closed to the outside world.
The total amount of more than three million pounds of grain is essentially the property of the duke's family, the property of Rurik himself. It is very ironic that only he personally realizes that such a scale of food has the power to shake the earth, and ordinary people simply think that by listening to the Duke's request, they can get the coins for granted, and they can buy delicious wheat by changing hands. , He has no other idea besides this.
Now, a huge amount of food is far better than a huge amount of gold and silver.
As a Principality, Rose is actually implementing a grain-based economic system.
This is a marvelous work in Europe at the same time, or the spiritual core of the Orientals of Rurik. Deep in the soul is the heart to farm, and enough food is the bottom core element of a country's long-term stability. .
The Ross people are indeed consuming food quickly, and they are creating a lot of things with long-term significance and value, and their personal physique is strengthened because of enough food in the cold winter.
The old blast furnace is still the main smelting force in the next six months, and the two old blast furnaces will also have a vigorous end.
The furnace has been producing fragile gray cast iron. In the new year, the task of casting cast iron tools was stopped by Rurik, but the gray cast iron was still being manufactured, but the irregular iron pieces formed after casting were smashed by a sledgehammer. Into pieces. These pieces of iron with too high carbon content were immediately thrown into an ordinary small furnace, where they continued to be fired to remove some of the carbon and achieve low-carbon steel that can be forged.
This is the method of steel speculation, and it is also a technique popularized in the workshops of the Blacksmiths Union.
Rurik didn't worry about technology leaks at all, even if many merchants from the Southern Allies lived in Ross.
Even Roseburg may be mixed with Mellaren's work. How is that? If they can learn the blast furnace technology can be described as gods help, unless Mellaren also has a traverser.
Do not! This is my world, my stage!
Over fifty young apprentices are almost all from Novgorod. They are all the same age as Rurik, and they are his personal iron slaves.
Their status is humble in principle, and it seems that it is only in principle. They are like a group of teenagers. Compared with the other children, they are really all strong men. They have changed the traditional Russ' weak impression of the long-conquered Slavs on Lake Ilmen. Maybe this is one side of the soil and the other side? Rurik was very satisfied with the achievements of these cubs. The five hundred individual Tavastia female miners had limited mining capacity. Such a number of labors caused quantitative changes to qualitative changes, which directly changed the work and rest of the teenagers.
The teenagers can stand by the fire around the clock and sweat, and they will use their own efforts to flatter their master Rurik.
In fact, the original intention of their efforts was not for advanced ideas such as self-realization. Their investigations were extremely ordinary, and they were given food, clothing and housing after the owner's requirements, and even a wife.
Master Rurik has promised, and he will definitely fulfill his promise!
Don't think they are all teenagers, the muscles on their arms are already terrifying.
The smashed iron block is sent in, and only two consecutive days of processing are required to complete a flexible carbon steel sword embryo! As for the sharpening and sharpening of the blade, as a low-cost mass-produced device, it is only polished with a manual grinder.
Its second-class steel sword was sold at a half-pound silver coin by Rurik.
Such prices are no longer extreme for the majority of Ross men and mercenaries today. They either sell their labor to make money or accumulate rewards, and they can buy a steel sword in a short time. As for further improvement, even the production of gold-plated sword hilts, and even wooden scabbards with patterns, this aspect is too individual and the cost is bottomless, and Rurik can't care about it.
Fifty young blacksmiths were in charge of the most critical processing steps. As the owner, Lurik directly formulated a demanding task for them-each person made ten polished and qualified sword embryos every month.
He also ordered Kamnier to be the leader of the iron. If the 6,000 steel swords accumulated throughout the year cannot be completed, everyone will not think about the matter of arranging his wife!
In fact, this was their fate, and the order was passed on. Rlik realized that the effect of his decision was immediate.
Rurik didn't dig bones and cleanse the marrow. He asked his men to really produce at the efficiency of one sword in two days. It was OK for a short time, but people would be exhausted for a long time. They will surely evolve into a furnace and carburize ten sword embryos at the same time, and will use various methods to reduce the process to complete the task ahead of time. You can take a break in the remaining time, and use this time to make some other weapons, such as participating in the mass production of carbon steel arrow clusters.
"Are they being rewarded with strength by Thor?" Old Clavasson couldn't help but sigh.
Not only these young ironsmiths ~www.mtlnovel.com~A group of professional carpenters in Roseburg were also assembled and accepted the arrangement of Rurik.
His arrangement is extremely purposeful, that is, Kawei is the technical guide. After they make the parts, they create a new torsion slingshot and bull catapult.
As for the quantity, Rurik hopes to build thirty slingshots and five trebuchets a month.
Of course there are difficulties, and their enthusiasm is immediately mobilized by the sound of money. This group of carpenters had reached a tacit agreement with the Blacksmiths Alliance in the past few years. They had long been responsible for the manufacture of heavy weapon parts and some wooden parts for ships, but now they just bypassed the blacksmiths and gave them directly. Orders are also paid directly by him.
If mining, logging, wind canvas, rope making, shipbuilding and other personnel are included, the number of "combat readiness service" personnel in the Rus has reached 2,000. They are men and women, and most of them are skilled workers. body.
Roseburg has become the only real arsenal in Europe in this era. The strong gold and silver and real materials guarantee the guarantee of people's hard work and the arsenal can continue to emit black smoke!
