The Principality of Ross has always been guarded by the northern border, so Fort Shilla has always placed a mobile force.
The principality still adheres to the old principles, especially for people from various Viking tribes. Once a foreign enemy enters the invasion, men and women are obliged to take up arms to defend against them.
After the winter solstice, the time of the Great Sacrifice has reached 836, and Rurik himself returned to his loyal Novgorod, where he implemented another plan of his.
He became the greatest teacher, teaching some basic mathematics to the boys of the Sixth Banner, and further explained how to interpret Latin, Gnostic, and even Slavic languages in Latin alphabet.
On the other hand, a "literacy campaign" is also underway.
The object of education is all subjects. No monarch can expect to fill the illiterate people with wisdom in just a few months. What Rurik has to do is to teach the people how to pronounce phrases.
The origin of the Western alphabet system comes from the handwriting of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. After being transformed by the Phoenicians, it became a letter system that could only be phonetic, and it was transformed into a very mature letter system for Rome.
Rurik is more advanced, adding some new letters to the inherent Latin alphabet, especially the expansion of V into three types of UWV.
The papermaking workshop in Novgorod has become more and more mature. On the basis of the past, Lurik hired more idle women as female workers. Even in the cold winter, as many as two hundred people stayed in relatively warm houses to work. They were divided into many groups. A series of papermaking processes were also completed in the houses, isolated from the cold outdoor environment.
Rurik didn't pay much, but made a simple promise: to take care of two meals a day, equivalent to a pound of oats.
He fulfilled his promise, and made certain performance arrangements for the female workers, and even offered incentives. The so-called over-completed tasks after the time-limited completion of the tasks have reciprocal bonuses, and the prize is wheat.
They are working hard for the bonus, which forces the loggers to provide more bark, and the group of men who cook the bark must also work hard.
Today's paper is not all rough birch paper. The key to fine paper lies in the source of cellulose. A large number of lakeside reeds in autumn are a good food for reindeer, and they are now also added to papermaking. Some decayed linen rods, rags and broken hemp ropes that are really useless are all converted into pulp.
A batch of very special and extremely delicate papers was born. It has a yellowish-brown body and a very comfortable touch. It even has the texture of rice paper. It is obviously inappropriate to write on it. Its usefulness is actually for rubbing, as well as a tool for wives and concubines to deal with personal issues.
Letting the public be familiar with and accustomed to toilet paper wipes is first of all a conceptual issue, and secondly, the issue of toilet paper supply.
Rurik simply established a "paper mill" in Novgorod. It became a completely state-owned handicraft workshop. Almost all the employees were women from the White Tree Manor. The payment at this stage is only for food and a small bonus. Of wheat.
Even so, the suppressed productivity of a part of the duchy exploded.
Rough and hard birch paper and loose paper are used for writing, and those who are ordered to teach the people the spelling of letters bring hard paper documents to teach.
A large number of people's data and field data recorded on hard paper have all been transferred to the Winter Palace in Shilla Fort and stored in boxes.
The paper currently produced has met the official needs of the Principality, and the next step is to promote the use of paper in the private sector.
The stacked paper is sold at the price of a pound of oats for a piece of hard paper that is nearly 1 square meters. It is fair to say that its price is relatively high.
As for the toilet paper, the price is based on the weight dose, which is more expensive than the former.
The supply of both is temporarily limited, but the weekly output is increasing. At the moment when the technology is mature, there are two hundred and fifty people engaged in this work. The amount of paper has reached about 1,000 square meters.
The Principality of Ross simply does not have enough consumer market to eat 30,000 square meters of hard paper next month, and most of the hard paper is in the warehouse in Rurik.
"Perhaps when the time is right, I have to dump a part of it at a low price. For example, sell it to Asraki, using paper as a wrapper for biscuits and bread? We need to expand the production capacity of toilet paper so that they can't do without it!"
Rurik is hoarding paper and has made some adjustments to the distribution of paper production capacity.
In late January, a batch of very vulgar documents were posted on the public threshing ground in Novgorod. Many pieces of paper with the same content written in Gnostic and Slavic languages were pasted on wooden boards with loose glue. People in thick clothes came over and knocked on the excitement. Everyone who could read the content was full of belly laughter. The laughter drew more. People onlookers.
Because the people's winter life is generally too monotonous, or the life year after year is full of boring. They need some jokes, especially some bad jokes to stimulate the boring life.
Rurik officially did this. He wrote very big and eye-catching text on the paper, focusing on a few parts of human beings, and vigorously promoted that toilet paper can easily wipe off the dirt on it in winter to prevent himself from becoming The presence of foul smell.
"What's so funny about them? Ah, maybe it's just that they laugh too low."
Rurik noticed this, then the bulletin board of the threshing floor should be used further! "Perhaps I should find some jokes to compile some joke collections and make them public. This will help them learn how to use letters to spell and make it easier for me to issue government orders in the future."
His method was effective on the same day, and the publicly sold fingers were exhausted. But Rurik also knows that the current spending power of Novgorod people is very low. The real money is in Sweden and Denmark, and the real super customers are the Eastern Roman Empire.
What Rurik cares most about is the excitement of people gathering in the threshing floor to watch the "toilet paper advertisement" on the bulletin board. Facts have proved that they have a huge demand for fresh information.
It means that they need books.
Wood movable type printing or engraving printing, the prerequisite material conditions for these technologies have all been met, and Lurik has already begun to act.
In the quiet night, he began to take his wives and concubines to do one thing: compile the historical data preserved by the Ross people.
The information board that the great priest Veria compiled and preserved recorded all the trivial information of the Rus people. Although the information was transcribed on paper, it would still need a lot of polishing if it was compiled into the "History of the Rus Tribe". It is the polishing aspect that particularly tests the wisdom of the monarch.
The rulers of the Rus Principality have three ethnic groups: Vikings, Slavs and Pan-Finns from all walks of life. They have different primitive beliefs and different perceptions of the past. To integrate everyone into the same nation, it is necessary to shape everyone's common memory!
Rurik is writing a book by himself, and his spiritual core is to describe that the three ethnic groups are originally one family, and all of them have a common ancestor. It is like brothers of a family scattered around, and descendants gradually forget that each other is one family. People, now a strong man raised his arms, all separated families reunited.
Rurik emphasized that he was indeed a man favored and blessed by God King Odin, and also described the legality and obligation of ruling Rurik and his descendants. Its greatest obligation is to ensure the stability of the lives of the subjects, and it also stipulates the basic obligations of the subjects of the principality. Then this book has the nature of the Principality's constitution, and Rurik also intends to formally codify the statutory code of the Principality and start publishing it.
A unified nation must have a common memory, must have a common belief, and must abide by the same set of most basic life esteem.
The three ethnic groups do have a common memory, which is war.
Five articles were written by Rurik assault. They are: "The War of Gotland", "The War of the East", "The War Against the Rebellion", "The War of the Expedition to Britain" and "The Crusade against Karelia" War History.
What Rurik did was just a concise description of the war. He wanted to highlight his wisdom as a war commander. He wanted to emphasize that the victory of Rus came from the strength of the soldiers in Rus's army. He also stressed that the soldiers of all races in the duchy had changed as they joined the Rus army. It's very powerful.
For the time being, the articles are just handwritten and posted on the bulletin board of the square. From now on, they will be historical documents of the Principality and will be published and distributed throughout the country.
It is necessary to compile the history books, statutory laws, basic mathematics education books, and literacy books of the Duchy of Ross, and finally publish them in movable type printing. This is an ambitious plan. It is not possible for Rurik to bring his wives and concubines to it overnight. It has a gradual process and will eventually be completed in a few years.
Based on such realistic factors, Rurik subjectively has a certain sense of war exhaustion. War is naturally a means of resolving disputes. With the characteristics of the current era, European social war is indeed a priority method.
Rurik knew that wars would always come uninvited, and even come very bizarre. For example, doing business secretly in Denmark did not lead to besieged enemies from the Danes, but was beaten by fellows from Frank.
Now, new troubles are always coming uninvited, and Lurik is also ready to counterattack defensively.
Of course, he is still making another preparation, which is to equip the "Royal Pirate" like Spuyut with as powerful weapons as possible, especially more torsion slingshots, and to install the bulbous bow of the "Salmon Chief" Stronger bronze hits the corner.
It's already February, and northern and northeastern Europe is still snowy. The average ice layer of Lake Ladoga is still about 30 cm thick, which is hard to beat the madman who is ice-cutting and fishing in the fishing village of Ladogastad.
A group of people were camping on the ice near the shore of the lake. Now they not only have the Ross people, but also the surrendered Vips people.
In the past 835 years, Telavis, the Count of Vipsarava, not only became a father, but also brought his own people to quickly catch up with the technological level of the Ross people. Telavis personally regards his territory and his people as another way to revive the Grey Squirrel tribe. He has indeed been loved by his people. The biggest reason is that the lives of the people have been greatly improved. They have already begun. An unprecedented winter ice fishing. It was while fishing that they encountered a sled team from the north.
Iron tools are rapidly replacing stone tools in the eastern control zone of Ross, accompanied by a reindeer sleigh army and a huge fleet. By now, people who once feared these behemoths have become accustomed to them, and even they have participated in them to create even more outrageous things.
For example, weapons...
Varyag hunters have unique bear hunting skills, that is, a torsion slingshot is mounted on a reindeer sleigh, the fate drives the deer, the hunter patrols and fires a heavy javelin, and there is an auxiliary steel-armed crossbowman on the sleigh to cooperate with the shooting.
Polar bears do not hibernate. At this time, their active area is very south, so that Ross hunters can hunt bears near Lake Ladoga. Sitting on a sled to hunt bears is really a feature only in winter. When the snow melts and the earth is muddy in spring, the hibernating brown bears rush out, but hunters can no longer hunt efficiently.
The Principality needs a lot of weapons. Torsion slingshots are a panacea. The principle is to rely on the torsion of the rope, so it is no problem to make a large number of "monkey version" weapons.
The woodworkers of the local Slavs found a job, and when the winter fell, they were ordered by Rurik to make a torsion slingshot made of wood and hemp. It is required that two people can move and operate it, and can throw a half-pound arrow to a distance of 150stika (147m). This thing is actually a ship's weapon in terms of positioning. Since Novgorod's shipbuilding workshop is already building workshops, new ships must have self-defense weapons regardless of their size. At this time when artillery does not exist, nothing is more reliable than a torsion slingshot.
The sled team from the bear festival town in the north of Ladoga first came into contact with the fishermen on the south bank of the lake. They heard the identity of the other party and then revealed the situation in the north, and even asked where the prince was. After learning that the prince was not in the capital, it was still Novgorod, the fleeing team continued to sprint south, dashing forward on the frozen Volkhov River, and arrived in the lively Novgorod. Another detachment ran wildly on the frozen Neva River, just to arrive at Shilla Fort and to inform the First Banner Team, which was mainly staying there to hunt squirrels, of the war.
The reindeer pulling the sled was exhausted, and even a deer stopped and collapsed on the ground.
The women and children jumped off the sled, and they yelled that the bear festival town was attacked.
The war alert spread madly throughout Novgorod in the first place, and the news soon reached Mstisk.
Rurik learned of the war alert and immediately issued an army assembly order, but it would take some time.
He was forced to wait for a day, and the next day a military meeting was held in Rus Duman, Novgorod.
Which of the people attending the meeting is not an elite of the principality? They were all dressed in furry, with cold swords hanging from their waists, and their expressions were serious and excited.
Everyone is looking at the face of the prince, waiting for the order of war.
For this, Rurik has already thought of a countermeasure: "I learned from the people who fled that there are more than 200 fighters standing by the fortress. The Karelians have launched a counterattack, and there are many of them. The decisive battle we are looking forward to has arrived. ."
People are looking forward to the prince's order to assemble a huge army to have a thorough battle with the enemy, but reality determines that the Principality does not have the ability to quickly assemble an army to conquer the country.
"The Second Banner, Sixth Banner, and Slavic Banners are assembled. Together with my mercenary guards, we will organize a group of volunteers and order some Boyar troops to participate. I will assemble an army of 1,500 people and set off. Give you three days of preparation time. Let's take the sled army and take as many torsion slingshots as we can towards the north. We want to reinforce the people who stay behind and do our best to find decisive opportunities. Kill the enemy like a bear hunt."
After this order, everyone was happy. This battle was really the first battle in history with Slavs as the main force. Medway especially mentioned how happy he was.
It was this man who made great achievements in catching people everywhere in the forest last year. He stood up and slapped his chest to show his loyalty to the prince: "My people are like brave Varyag warriors in every way. I will take them to kill. The enemy has done a great job."
Medvedt said it is a fact that the fighters and his men are very strong nowadays, that is, they are still shorter than traditional Viking strong men in stature. The short stature and posture also have a huge tactical advantage. This kind of personnel is most suitable for compiling the hedgehog formation to form the halberd phalanx to stab the enemy to death, because their bottom plate is too stable.
Many bear hunters need time to return, and of course the squirrel catchers have withdrawn. War means opportunity. Some soldiers drove a sleigh to the nearest Slavic farm. No, the calf farm Boyarvsky and the angler farm Boyar Torri, which are closer to Novgorod.~www.mtlnovel. com~ When they got the news, they acted immediately. Each of them selected the strongest fifty men from the small-populated farms and rode their reindeer sleighs all the way north.
The Rus Principality is gathering its army, I do not know it is Novgorod, and the same thing is happening in Shilla Fort.
The first banner team that catches the squirrels will bring the leather back to Fort Shilla and sell it. Those who run far will go directly to the Vips' Kaiji Salmi for rest. The people of the First Banner have learned about the attack on Bear Festival Town in different regions. They are in different geographic spaces, and they all understand that the kingdom can't just sit back and watch.
Arik issued an order for the assembly of the first banner team at Fort Shilla. Although only more than two hundred people have assembled, this is almost the case. In fact, in the VIPs, there are more than a hundred First Infantry fighters mixed with more than 30 local VIPs fighters. They are recklessly on their heads, and Telavis also wants to make rescue efforts in the Principality. Of honor.
While Rurik was actively gathering, the First Support Army of the Principality of Ross, together with the 150-person reinforcements of the Kekisalmi of Vips, including the sledge master, planted the Principality's flag on the sledge. North to north.
