What is a good meal?

In any gathering on the grassland, the distinguished leaders gathered together, slaughtered a few sheep and roasted them with fragrant fragrant oil, and everyone walked up with knives, cutting off their pleasant parts and holding them for food. This is a grassland feast.

The feast will be even more wonderful if there is more mare kumiss to accompany the meal.

Kagan's concept of good food is very limited. He has heard that the Romans have a very good way of eating, and he likes the taste of wine very much.

In the hometown, wine certainly flows into the Pecheneg society. Caucasus wine merchants in Abkhazia, Georgia, and Armenia will sell wine in barrels in exchange for Pecheneg horses.

Horses are a kind of hard currency. Obviously, the trade with the Russians in the far north is a win-win situation. According to Kagan, among all the trading partners, only the Russians are the most decisive when it comes to taking out silver coins.

Because Rurik quickly went out of town to see the horses!

Turkic horses have a long mane, and there are slightly more manes on their hoofs. Most horses do not have iron horseshoes, but the cuticles of the horseshoes have been trimmed.

They gather together without fear of others, one by one stepping on the snow to catch their breath.

Stroking the horse's mane, the horse has no intention of squandering, and is as docile as an old friend.

"Can I ride a horse?" Rurik could not suppress the restlessness in his heart, and asked Kagan casually.

This proposal is really bold. Even if Prince Ross is noble, he doesn't know how to gallop!

But Kagan also didn't understand...

"Yes, I have to warn that a good rider needs training. Also, I cannot guarantee that the horse you choose will be absolutely docile."

"I appreciate your kindness. You choose a docile horse! Remember!" Rurik stared at Kagan, "I bought your Turkic barbarian horses for galloping. I will inspect the goods myself and make them for others. A role model. I think you should be able to guess my intentions."

Some things cannot be hidden. For example, as early as in the far east, Kagan learned that the northern Rus were selling horses, and he took it for granted that the Rus wanted to build a cavalry unit. The geographical distance between the two parties is extremely long. The Ross people are willing to spend money to get the horses, and the sale must be a big profit, and the Pechenegg Alliance can't worry about the Ross people being a military threat.

Kagan chose a good horse for Rurik, a tall horse with a shoulder height of 150 cm.

This kind of shoulder height is superior to Turkic horse breeds. Although Turkic horses are superior to Arabian horses and Dawan horses, which are out of time and space, of course it has its own advantages, and even this strategic advantage is obvious!

Driven and led by humans, a herd of horses traveled from the shores of the Black Sea through grasslands, forests, swamps, and snow in just three months, before arriving in the bitter cold of the north. The endurance of horses is truly amazing!

Rurik himself is a whole head taller than Kagan. A strong Nordic man still needs more muscle and fat to show his strength. Rurik's figure is still somewhat thin. Of course, he is standing on the snow, with a fair face and a golden beard. He does have the style of a "Lion of the North", giving Kagan a strong sense of oppression.

If Rurik doesn't know how to ride horses, it's absurd.

But his kind of riding can't be regarded as real riding.

It's like a person has learned to swim, and his skills are imprinted in his soul. His heart will eventually be branded with a soul that is beyond time and space, and he knows how to ride a horse in this memory. It was just a racecourse for tourists to have fun in the Yellow River tidal flat area. The horses were tamed and subdued. Tourists stepped on their horses and grabbed the reins to issue instructions. These horses, which have been reduced to money-making tools for the masters, are extremely docile. They will not hesitate to run a fixed number of laps around the racecourse, and then stop very wisely.

Tourists who experience the pleasure of galloping always dismount happily and pay happily.

This is how Rurik learned how to ride, and now he has changed time and space, at least stepping on the horse with bronze feet and holding the reins, the whole movement is done in one go.

He even yelled "drive" involuntarily, but this kind of eastern command language was invalid for Turkic horses, because the system was incompatible.

Even so, there are currently more than two thousand people watching the horse herd at the gate of the city! People watched and saw that Lord Prince successfully at least looked down at everyone, and Lord Prince easily conquered the horse!

Kagan on the side was amazed and hurriedly taught some Turkic imperatives.

Now that the voice control system is compatible, Rurik suddenly noticed that riding a horse is essentially the same as driving a car. If the horse is a vehicle, its operation is completely intelligent voice control.

He was already tall and riding a tall horse, and Rurik's head was actually 260 cm above the ground. Looking down on sentient beings is by no means a fallacy.

Rurik slid around under the eyes of the people with the rein. The horse's docileness fascinated him, and he suddenly issued the order to gallop. The horse suddenly accelerated upon hearing the news, and given another order, the horse immediately decelerated and turned into a stroll.

Rejoicing, Rurik drew out his sword, the shiny steel sword really dazzling in the sun.

He learned the scenes he saw in the movie, holding his right arm high, pointing the steel sword straight ahead, and making the horse gallop again, and the whole person became a real Cossack cavalry!

All his white fox hats ran away, and everyone saw the prince galloping, his brown ponytail swaying violently in the wind, and the golden ponytail behind the prince's head also fluttering in the wind.

This was the first time Kagan saw Prince Rose, and he couldn't imagine that the highest leader of the Rus was born with riding skills, as if his buttocks were on horseback. Look at the prince's flowing blonde hair, which is exactly the same as a real ponytail.

As Rurik was refreshed, the panting steed finally stopped. He loosened the stirrup with his right foot like a bicycle, swiped his leg briskly, and jumped off quickly.

Surprise and shock are written on Kagan's face.

"Prince, I didn't think you were born a cavalry!"

"Yeah, it feels great to be so happy. It was not you who sent the horse, and I didn't know that I was born a good horseman." Rurik stroked the horse's mane subconsciously. . I don't have any worries, and I have to give you an extra sum of money."

Is there such a good thing? Being praised by the nobles for taming horses, Ganka would be happy in his heart. How can it be unreasonable to receive an extra reward this time?

The preparations for a wonderful state banquet were intense, and Kagan and his party also received the horse money.

Because of the presence of her Carlotta, she has rich experience in domesticating large-scale livestock. Carlota checked all the horses and concluded that they were all young and good horses, so-called ponies could be bred in spring.

Rurik felt that he had made a lot of money, and he was very happy to get ten thousand fine Frank silver coins.

The silver coins were divided into ten sacks of ten pounds each, and he promised with honor that he would not be short on the issue of paying for money.

Does Kagan still suspect that the number of coins is insufficient? He had never seen a silver coin of this size in his life. Every silver coin was printed with Frankish King Charlemagne. He assumed that it was the head of a Roman emperor. Everything is indifferent. He verified the authenticity of the silver coin in his own way, and saw that the tooth mark was left on the silver coin, and it was undoubtedly a sufficient amount of silver. As for whether the quantity is enough, this issue was directly ignored by him.

A small package of extra rewards was immediately dialed down, and the small sacks contained ten Frankish gold coins. If one hundred pounds of silver coins belong to the family property of the Pechenegg alliance, all the chiefs of the alliance are paying attention to this trade, and at least half of the money earned must be expanded to the Pechenegg army. And these ten gold coins are classified as Kagan's private property.

High-quality gold coins are also rare things, and Kagan is happy after picking up the gold coins. Of course gold coins can be traded, but Kagan has his own ideto melt the gold coins and coat his helmet and iron mask with gold.

The warriors of the Turkic ethnic group have a particular emphasis. If a warrior has enough assets, it is certain to wear iron armor. The helmet should be reinforced with iron plates, a defensive mask made of iron or copper plate should be hung on the front face, and the richer people should plate the mask with gold.

This style was actually obtained from the confrontation between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty. It has not been many years since the Pecheneg people arrived on the Volga River, and the people's memory of the Tang Empire has not dissipated. The elites in the tribal alliance know some distant history and the reasons why so many people have moved westward.

All horses are guests, including every personal attendant in Kagan has the right to enjoy a big meal.

Before nightfall, Kagan's attendants had their weapons confiscated, and in exchange they were able to enter the city.

I have to say that this group of people exudes a foul smell, and they are ordered to take a bath. Everyone showed an indescribable resistance. Kagan was also resistant at the beginning, taking a bath was thought to be easily possessed by evil spirits.

Rique didn't want to listen to this rhetoric at all. Anyway, this group of people were all armed, and there was another guy like Sakyi who was constantly acting as a lobbyist. After examining the situation, Kagan had no choice but to call on his men to be honest and obedient.

Turkic people from all walks of life have a high degree of vigilance for bathing and washing clothes. On the whole, life in the grassland needs to save water. Bathing is a shameful waste. At best, they wipe their bodies. The legends of demons and evil spirits are only legends after all.

Kagan opened her eyes when she entered the realm of the Ross people. When the other guys got together to enjoy the rain treatment, she could soak herself in a comfortable wooden barrel.

This was a wonderful experience that he could not imagine, not to mention the creamy yellow and white cheese-like modules smeared all over the body, and the dirt peeled off. His braids are all stretched out, and his hair that has not been washed for many years has been washed clean.

It is said that the Romans are very particular about bathing, and the co-authors are the same. He didn't know how the Romans took a bath. The Rus cleaned himself in this way. It was rare for Kagan to scrub away the dirt he had accumulated for many years, and even exuded a wonderful fragrance all over his body.

Because of the soap making, Rurik did not hesitate to order product upgrades after getting better materials.

The method of making lye from plant ash has become more sophisticated. The key source of fat is milk butter. The collected and dried wild rose and wild chrysanthemum are collected and boiled in water. These substances are mixed together to make milk soap. It is mainly dedicated to the royal family and nobles, and Rurik uses it to cleanse his body. Of course, it is also sold on a small scale. Because the cost price is higher, the price is naturally not something that two silver coins can solve.

Kagan even bit the soap with his teeth, the smell made his mouth greedy, but the bitter taste and foamy mouth made him give up.

He was really hungry, and he didn't know how wonderful the prince's banquet of the Rus State was, let alone how the princes talked at the banquet.

I was very greedy for that glass of honey wine, only this glass made the man who prided himself on drinking a little wobbly. Fortunately, his drinking volume was really good and now it's completely normal. He wants to drink more wine and is eager to bring back some for the nobles of the tribe to drink together. This is also a means to win relationships and pave the way for him to succeed the Khan in the future.

Kagan was well washed and put on brand new clothes.

What made him feel more cordial was that Prince Rose wore trousers. His young wife, concubine, trusted nobleman, and warrior all wore trousers. He has come into contact with a lot of Mrs. Krivi in the Kiev community. Those guys who claim to be blood allies don't wear pants at all. If it weren't for riding a horse to protect the crotch, Maksakyi would not wear pants.

It was also in this contact that Kagan learned the Slavic language, and he was able to talk with Prince Rus very happily, and at the same time fully understood that the Russ were not Slavs! The Rus are the people who conquer the sea, and they maneuver the ship like the Pecheneg people riding on horseback. Yes! Kagan, who entered the city, really saw the giant wooden boat moored in the dock area. The towering mast was as high as the big tree. He didn't know what it meant for a while, but he just sighed with the strength of the Ross people.

Put on new clothes and step on new leather boots. The coat is even more exquisite. It is a white bear fur coat with sleeves and a scarf made of fox fur and wool. The leather jacket is quite thick, and the warmth retention effect is also amazing.

According to the words of the Ross guard, this outfit is a reward from Prince Ross.

On the grassland, it is gratifying to get a clean, decent and gorgeous dress. Looking at his own clothes, Kagan estimated that from top to bottom, it would be worth a pound of silver coin.

Indeed, bear skins are extremely rare on the prairie, and the guys in Kiev will sell bear skins at an extreme price. Kagan had never seen a bear, not to mention a polar bear covered in white fur. He has seen dead bears at least today. It is the bear head hung on the wooden wall of the palace hall. The ferocious tusks come from the beasts he has never seen before, and the ferocious tusks instantly arouse the depths of his soul. The fear of hunting the beasts and taking the heads of the beasts shows the strength of men. Kagan understands that the decoration of Prince Ross with as many as forty bear heads is too mighty and majestic.

Kagan opened his eyes, changed his outfit and walked out of the bathhouse, the smoke of Novgorod rushing towards his face.

Although it is winter, life in the market cannot be avoided.

Lurik did not have a reason to issue a curfew. He even hoped that the people would continue to work on handicrafts on winter nights to create more wealth. After all, the insufficient production of various materials and the growing demand for materials are a sharp contradiction.

Such as pottery workshops, charcoal burning factories, brick burning factories, state-owned garment factories, state-owned paper mills, shipyards, mills and bakery workshops, state-owned blacksmiths, etc., all work overnight, even if the door is closed by heavy snow, the people rely on the stock of raw materials. The fuel lamp will continue to work. In the past, people from all walks of life could not find new money-making jobs. In the long winter, they are more of learning brown bears to hibernate in houses. They are not lazy people. Now they have a way to make money. The cubs who don't go to school in winter are also busy with Parents work together to make extra money.

Today, the arrival of horse passengers in Novgorod is even more lively.

It is a custom of Turkic people to sleep and sleep in the wind. They don't think it's too shabby. So Rurik gave Kagan's followers a big barn with a floor, bread and ale, and they don't have to pay a copper coin, everyone. Just be grateful. Because they know the beauty of bread, it is a pity that prairie life can hardly get this kind of delicacy. They feasted on wheat bread and drank ale, and their stomachs were filled with carbon water. It was the first time in their lives. The first soaring blood sugar made them tired. In addition, alcohol paralyzed their nerves, and they had just taken the most relaxing bath of their life. They were embarrassed. In the coming days, many Turkic fighters paid no attention to anything.

Today, they are wearing the clothes given by Prince Ross and the blankets given by Prince Ross, and they ate the delicious food rewarded by Prince Ross. It is said that during this winter, everyone can get food rewards from the Prince every day.

There is such a good thing?

This night ~www.mtlnovel.com~ some Turkic fighters were moved, and they couldn't help thinking. It is said that if Prince Ross does not dislike him, the brothers would kneel in front of the prince while they were young and worship him as the "Ros Khan" and sacrifice for him.

It's not surprising that they have this kind of thought. Even if Rurik has approved the pursuit of a better life for these Turkic people, he will open their eyes on food and clothing, and subtly shake their hearts.

Even if it is impossible to persuade Kagan to give up the position of Pechenegg Khan in the future, he can at least instigate a few Turkic horsemen.

Because there is a steed, although it is not difficult to select a rider from the principality, hiring a suitable instructor is extremely important. With his own calculations, Rurik wanted to win over several Turks as naturalized citizens, grant him the identity of Rus, and make him teach horse riding and Turkic cavalry tactics full-time. This is the only way for the Russ cavalry to make a quick plan.

However, it would be even better if Kagan, a Turkic nobleman, could personally accept the appointment of a cavalry instructor!

Rurik doesn't care about spending more money, he cares about whether a winter training can pull out the first "Ross Cavalry Company".

The banquet was not only a state banquet for the noble envoys of Pecheneg, by the Principality of Ross, but also took the opportunity to settle the matter.
