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

The twelve manor owners grabbed the barbecue and ate with trembling, eating and drinking with a group of fighting madmen. They were afraid that each other's sudden whim would result in their heads being chopped off.

A calf was eaten by everyone and only the skeleton remained, and the seized wine was drunk in five oak barrels.

The Ross people are enjoying their happy life? The owners of the manor just want to go home and stay, hoping to escape from this ghost place soon.

Rurik only drinks a glass of ale. When many people are a little confused, when the meat on the trailer is only the skeleton of the cow, the banquet should end here.

Those manor owners who were always vigilant ordered at any time, and finally they waited for the new order of the young Duke of Rose.

"You manor owners, I see that you have been too cautious. Don't worry, I will not kill you. I can promise that as long as you remain surrendered, you will be rewarded."

reward? Is there any reward?

They don't have time to think well, or they can't think in this suffocating scene.

In fact, with regard to the follow-up arrangements for these manor owners, Rrik boasted that his pending policies would effectively resolve the stability of the region.

He also announced: "You will stay here tonight, and tomorrow I have the most real arrangements for you, for all the Novgorod nobles. Come here! Take them down to rest."

Armed guards appeared again, and they dragged the manor owners with their loose legs away. The courtyard of the banquet was filled with the laughter of the Ross people...

"Keep on drinking! Keep on eating!" Otto shook his head and asked the guys to drink and dance. The group of manor owners who were in the way were invited away, and everyone could continue to eat and break up.

How long the banquet lasted, Lurik did not know. He left the table early due to embarrassment and fell asleep. Those who stayed at the banquet and those who had appetites were satisfied.

In the banquet hall, there is a man who is the most able to drink and the most daring to eat meat and wheat.

Medvedt was too excited. When he learned of his brother-in-law Rurik's reward in advance, he was full of happiness.

He will gain a lot of power, even if this power probably won't be inherited by his own heirs, the supreme power of the Duchy of Ross will inevitably fall in the hands of his sister's son.

Sister Svetlana, she participated in the war, fighting like the Valkyrie believed by the Rus. She is no longer like a Slav, but a Rose?

"It doesn't matter, it's all my sister."

Medvedt has realized the power and privileges of being a cousin, but his structure is limited. After seeing the strength of the Ross people, he only wants to rely on their power to make his White Tree Manor more powerful.

Ruling the entire Novgorod on behalf of the Rus, like Vadim, who stands on his own as a prince who is unpredictable?

"No, I will take care of this place on behalf of Rose, nothing more. Don't think about anything wrong, only good days are waiting for the people."

On the whole, the Slavic people on the shore of Lake Ilmen are xenophobic. They are a purely agricultural ethnic group, and they are the most taboo against outsiders encroaching on their land. But isn't the White Tree Manor on the Volkhov River an external other to the Great Lakes?

The xenophobic Slavs, such as the pine needle manor, have been wiped out, the hard-core rebels have been purged, and the rest of the people can only obey.

To understand this, the first thing he thought of Medvedt was to reconcile the relationship with the people on the lake. After a lapse of a hundred years, the excluded White Tree Manor is back with the power of Ross!

The White Tree Manor and his own power were rewarded by the Duke of Ross, and he must be a governor and take care of it by Deliulik.

Medvedt was finally drunk, and he actually fought side by side with multiple Varanga tribes, and participated in multiple **** battles with Varanga.

He was regarded by everyone as his own. A group of men gathered together to talk to each other, naturally talking about fighting, plundering, and even talking about marriage and childbirth...

Even some people have begun to congratulate this Slav who is about to gain power.

Medvedt was not overwhelmed, the bones of the beheaded manor owner were not cold. There are some things that can't be said clearly. It is not a pity for those killed to participate in the rebellion, but it seems that they are also killing chickens and monkeys. It is the brother-in-law who frightens himself with the blood of these people.

Some people fell asleep at the banquet site until the cool breeze and noise in the morning awakened them.

Rurik reappeared in front of everyone, his image in stock, washed his face and blond hair, really capable and stylish boy.

In this era, life in the slack season is always full of boring, and it seems that the biggest entertainment is childbirth.

The Ross army stationed in the traditional Slavic farms did not receive an order to evacuate, and they were also asked not to attack other manors on their own initiative.

The army seems to be left here, but in fact every Rus and Balmerk are actively discovering the agricultural value here.

If you can farm the land and get the output, who would go out to sea every year to be a pirate? Even if it is fishing, the risk of fishing in a haystack is much higher than that of rippling lakes.

They went into the woods to hunt, and some of them ran very far, only to see some new farms that were unknown in the past.

There was even an encounter between a Ross hunter and a farmer in the deep forest, and the embarrassing encounter would scare the other party to escape with a wooden hoe.

When the hunter met the news of the strange farmer and did not go further, the soldier in White Tree Manor pointed out that it was the so-called "hidden person."

The Novgorod region with Ilmen Lake as the center must have a population of one hundred thousand people. Lurik firmly believes that there are more than 20 farms on the lake, and the total population is actually not large. The vast majority of people are absolutely hiding. I'm afraid they didn't intend to hide. It's just that the area is too large. Slavic immigrants have a blue ridge, and small settlements are built in dense forests to live a closed agricultural life. It's normal.

Want to include those who are hiding? This is a must! Those people must accept Ross's rule, but this troublesome job can be thrown at the Governor of Novgorod.

A lot of news reached Rurik's ears, and the vast farmland was even more visible.

Rlik wakes up early today to see the farmland he owns. Apart from appreciating the spoils, he also examines the level of local farming.

Look at the cleaned Pine Needle Manor, their oat field nursery is messy, not as neat as the wheat seedlings of the White Tree Manor that have been sown with a curved plough.

In this way, it is completely at the same level as those allied tribes on the shore of Lake Mlaren, but the latitude of Lake Ilmen is further south and the accumulated temperature is high, which makes rough agriculture also have a relatively good harvest.

However, there is room for this amazing agricultural technology improvement, not only to plow and turn the soil, but also to use human and livestock manure and reed lake mud to fertilize the field, and even irrigation. It's just that these advanced technologies cannot be implemented immediately.

After the inspection in the morning, Rurik became more determined in his heart to reward the twelve farmer owners.

The big stick has been rammed, and they are all afraid of Rosvin's rights. Now it is time to reward him with carrots, so that he will be soothed and soothed.

If there is no "great man from the sky", the lakeside farmers can still plant their land for hundreds of years, and it will take too long for the local aristocrats to evolve to build a country.

Now, the Novgorod region is already the direct rule of the Rus Principality, and the past strategy will be completely terminated today.

At noon, there is no banquet.

The twelve manor owners who had been exhausted, as well as the three arrogant manor owners of the white tree, the calf, and the angler, were invited to the same house by Rurik.

Medvedt and Svetlana are also here, and here Rurik personally gave a meeting to a group of local Slavs.

He sits on a leather cushion, with old Otto holding a patterned steel sword beside him, sitting here like an idol, staring at these manor owners with sharp eyes, which represents the past.

Rurik is not polite anymore. He treats everyone together and ignores their faces. He bluntly said: "Since ancient times, we Ross people have asked for tribute every year. From this year on, everything has changed! I! Lord Rurik of Ross, from From now on, the entire Novgorod will be directly classified as part of the Rus Principality, and Novgorod will always belong to Rus. You residents of the manor are all new Russ now!"

New Ross? What does it mean? What does it mean to rule directly?

The owners of the manor looked at each other, they wanted to say a lot but didn't dare to speak.

Liurik made a gesture, and Medvedt stood up. The man who followed the Ross army to eat meat and fish has now become very burly. If he is not fluent in Slavic, standing here is basically a standard Varangian warrior.

This son is the successor of White Tree Manor. After the death of the old fellow Rigus, Medved is the owner of the manor.

This person must be useful for being named by the Duke of Ross.

"However, the residents of Veliky Novgorod have their own lives, and this duke will undoubtedly force you to change too much. Now, I have appointed Medvet of the White Tree Manor as the local governor, and will take over Velikiy Novgorod on my behalf. You must support Medvedt's work, and I will restrain him from doing anything extraordinary..."

Rurik took a bit of a word to explain, the ten nervous twelve people were respectful, and even the chiefs with white trees, calves, and anglers were also listening.

Rigus, he is very happy that his eldest son can take up this important position. It seems that Medvedt used the authority of the Ross people to make White Tree Manor hegemony in this lake area? No, this is not the case.

The monarch appoints a governor to rule. This is an invention in Northern and Eastern Europe. Even in the Frankish kingdom, the concept of governor has disappeared since the collapse of Western Rome.

The governor defined by Rurik is actually an extension of the old term "war chief". As for this group of manor owners, they have also been rewarded with a new title, namely Bjorn, or Boyar, for "defending the monarch." Powerful people".

The fifteen manor owners in this house all received the title of Boyar, or big landlord or squire. This term is a standard Varangian vocabulary. With this title, Rurik announced to them that all The owners of the manor are all guards of the Duke and are directly responsible to the Duke's family.

Boyar's power was recognized and protected by the duke, and Boyar must also perform all kinds of clothes to the duke.

As for Medvedt, he was a Boyar noble first and then the appointed governor.

If Medvedt does not do well, other Boyars have the right to make suggestions to the Duke. Medvedt is not a monopoly. He only has the power to collect taxes on behalf of the duke. The rest of the affairs shall be decided by the boyar nobles of the farms.

Do most of the affairs need to be discussed by everyone? Isn't this returning to the old traditions of the past?

People with a keen political cell smelled the hidden benefits and the Duke of Rose's implementation of the grace, and suddenly raised their heads just when others doubted.

"Our Redwood Manor fully supports the Duke's resolution. We support Medvedt as the governor. We will continue to pay tribute to Rose as agreed."

Someone raised their heads, and those who were hesitant immediately followed up.

The owners of the manor all made positive statements, for fear that future generations would be persecuted by the Ross people.

Is it true that they are so supportive? Rurik felt that the support of the owner of the Redwood Manor was sincere, and most of the others were also sincere. After all, he was indeed doing grace and profit.

They also have no choice.

Old Otto was laughing, and everyone in Ross was laughing. This was a confident smile. They saw a large group of local Slav aristocrats vying to beg the Rus to rule. In the past, this group of guys had only fear and reluctant sadness on their faces.

No, another clever flattery fell directly on the ground and crawled in front of Rurik like a lizard.

"Pine Needle Manor is full of vicious methods in order to gain hegemony. Rose is the best mediator. Rose eliminates the guilty. Once we fought with each other, now the great Duke of Rose finally brought us peace. We welcome Rose's reign. ."

Rurik listened carefully, why is this so familiar?

what! Isn't this history?

"Doesn't their history books record that Chief Rurik and a thousand warriors mediated the melee of the Novgorod people, unified here as an arbitrator, and founded the Principality of North Rus. A thousand warriors? First and third A thousand soldiers of the flag team? I am Rurik. I am indeed the mediator, arbitrator, and prince. The more he thinks about it, the more interesting it becomes.

The course of history has entered the right path in the East. Perhaps this is the destiny of the general trend.

"Which manor are you the leader?" Rurik asked.

"Linen Manor. This is Msti Vadishevich. Sir, we are good at planting linen and making linen."

This person is really flattering, and the means of flattering is also smart, and he actually recommends his own specialty. Rurik's eyes were bright, because this lake area is indeed easier to grow flax than Lake Mlaren in the north, and there is indeed a master of linen weaving here.

I am afraid that it is more than that. Each manor has its own specialties. I am afraid that the various manors around Lake Ilmen have realized economic complementarity for a long time. As long as they are supported and used, the local area will surely burst into ancient and powerful productivity.

Finding out their industrial potential is the next thing. At present, the land that supports the life of these estates is fundamental.

The Rus Principality directly ruled here, also in order to stably obtain the output of wheat, hemp, and leather.

They are all announcing that they will pay tribute, that is, tax, in strict accordance with the Duke's regulations.

It is the tax issue that is the most fundamental issue of this meeting.

Rurik ordered them to be quiet and solemnly announced: "I will start the eleventh tax against you. I will send someone to count your acres. This project will be completed this year. What is the eleventh tax? The output of a piece of farmland, One-tenth is the tax paid to Rose. How much tax you pay is not related to your population, but only related to the area of farmland! Oats, rye, wheat, and flax are all taxed at the rate of one-tenth."

The imperial grain tax is the current tax pillar of the Rus Principality. In other words, in the era of the clan, Rus asked the Slavs for grain is the predecessor of the grain tax. Now, under the definition of Rurik, grain is a general equivalent with currency attributes.

However, the economic model of the Ross territory is essentially diversified. She is a civilization, so the civilization of the Ross Principality is now advancing by sea and land. For these pure Slav farmers, not only do they have to collect food taxes, they should also enter the forest to catch wild animals.

They caught a batch of squirrels, sleds, sables, ferrets, or other beasts. Rurik stipulated that each manor should take out one thousand squirrel skins per year, and ferrets and the like cherish leather, only one hundred per year.

Given the current ecological situation, cherishing leather animals is still everywhere, and Rurik feels that his request is not a big problem.

This is just a rigid requirement of taxation. When he explained that he would come up with a price that everyone accepted (market price), and purchase extra food, honey, dried fish, various leather, woodware, pottery, etc., all the manor owners were delighted.

Those Varyag merchants come occasionally, and the Ross people are always there. In the past, they almost didn't do business and only wanted to ask for it.

Now, Rurik, Duke of Ross, is really different from his father.

Rurik's promise is not only that, he is also announcing: "I will build a trading place here, and openly sell iron farm tools, salt, gems and other goods to all your manors."

Trade is what everyone welcomes most. If trade is stable, Duke Ross will be the true saint. Even if the price of the transaction is higher, or the price is not a problem, the most lacking of Veliky Novgorod is a stable trading place.

Rurik's benevolence continued.

"I will immediately sell a batch of iron farm tools to all your estates, and you can immediately take out the surplus grain to buy. Since this year's situation is too special, I declare that only this year, I will exempt you from this year's tax!"

They were dumbfounded, including Otto also understood these Slavic sentences, and immediately cast doubts.

The Ross people were complaining that Rurik was too kind, and the Slavs couldn't believe it was true.

Rurik declared: "This year, Novgorod will be tax-free! My Duke, my order is absolute. This is my gift to you. Listen, I can promise that you will live under the direct rule of Ross. It will get better and better. The era of peace that belongs to you has arrived."

A beautiful era of peace has arrived?

Yesterday, the owners of the manor witnessed the terrible killing of the remnants of the rebellion. Today they both got the title of Boyar Nobility when they left.

Rurik said that kindness is kindness, he let these people go, and also gave them a batch of wooden and iron farm tools seized from the Pine Needle Manor.

As a matter of fact, a great privilege was given to these twelve manors-to draw salaries from the bottom of the survivors of the five manors that assisted the rebellion.

These manor owners have the right to carve up the women and children of those manor~www.mtlnovel.com~ to carve up their population and become their own, so as to enhance the strength of their manor. They can plunder their property, have and only own the farmland, and be classified as the Duke of Ross.

Will such an arrangement make Conglong's three manors jealous, and will Ross and Balmok complain?

Indeed, Rurik observed this sentiment, but the complaint was quickly resolved. Because the most extensive farmland belongs to the Duke of Ross, Ross's small family can own these property rights. According to the old rules of land reclamation in Shilla Fort, all the crops and farm tools are provided by Rurik, they should provide tax! It's just that the property rights of these lands still belong to the family of the Duke of the Duchy of Ross.

The so-called newly reclaimed land belongs to the land reclaimers, and the tax will be paid according to the regulations in the future after statistics. The spoils of farmland after the rebellion are the private property of the duke's family in a full sense.

As long as the Ross people become farmers, they have to pay the eleven taxes. They are all smart people. If you add them up, you will know that being a farmer is a very profitable business.

When the farm is busy, the farm is harvested, and the rest of the time is not taking a boat to fish, or even following the duke to fight the world. Just like the traditional Danish days, spring planting and autumn harvesting, the warm summer farmers have turned into fishermen and even pirates. It's just that the farmland and geographical environment that the Ross men are about to master are much better than the Danes.
