Rise of Rurik Chapter 233

Among all the men who followed Arik, Kawei, who was interested in buying daily necessities at the bazaar, also got in touch.

A group of men to marry refugee women, or even raise women's children?

Was this decision made by Rurik, or did the big leader have already made plans?

After all, it was the Russ who took in the troubled allies and fulfilled the obligations of the alliance.

In short, Kawei felt that he was following the right person. The most important thing for a good man is truth, and leaders need these qualities even more.

All kinds of people Lu began to leave.

Needless to say, the refugees have found a new home. Rurik's new servants still need Gould to provide shelter for the time being.

In fact, Kawei didn't think that Rülik's insistence on hiring a group of mercenaries was a good decision.

There are too many young people from the Ross tribe! Does Rurik have doubts about his own people? Didn't this kid know that only his own people are the most important at the critical moment?

reliable. As for mercenaries? Who knows.

Kawei did not leave, and he witnessed a large group of Ross men who quickly turned into porters. They are basically in a neat line with sacks on their backs

Wu, to move the goods to Gould's warehouse.

When he was about to leave, Rurik stopped him.

"My little master, what do you want to tell me?"

"There is one." With his father's sword on his back, Rurik, who was by Gould's side, ordered: "Go and get all the things we made."

"Huh? What is that?"

"It's VODKA! Come on! The big buyer who didn't see us is here?!" Rurik's words deliberately criticized him, and Kawei understood everything very sensibly.

Because they had already made an appointment with each other, they prepared a hundred bottles of vodka in a wooden box and tried their best to sell them to Gould, a big businessman.

Kawe, who had a major mission on his shoulders, ran all the way, while Rurik was accompanied by the maid chief Lumia, following Gould's large family of children, into the

In the "mansion" by the sea.

Here, Rurik is a full-fledged guest.

Gould is back. He is determined to entertain his most distinguished guests. He must let Rurik or Otto, the big chief who is coming soon, eat and drink.

, Only in this way is the key to a good business negotiation. How to do this business well, Gould has a bottom line in his heart, but he will not tell Rurik, he will replace him.

The old face full of fat and beard trembled cheerfully.

And his youngest son and granddaughter leaned close to the naughty side of Rülik, but the atmosphere was alive.

on the other hand.

Otto, who had a hangover for a long time, finally woke up when the sun was about to go down!

"It's damned, did the sun come out from the west? What about people? Where did you all go?"

When he called out loudly, the woman carrying the bucket walked respectfully and told him what had happened.

"Oh! Wine is really good, I still drank too much." He regretted that he had missed a lot of good things because he was asleep, and he was even more worried about letting his son, Rylik, be the leader.

The job is actually not too difficult.

But he didn't worry for long, and after a while, a large number of people returned one after another.

Otto, who looked very good, was almost instinctively alert, because he saw a group of unarmed, simple-dressed men. Is it a slave? Not like.

Suddenly, Otto realized that these young men are the so-called mercenaries that his son needs?

Mercenary? The Ross tribe really needs them.

Ask yourself, Otto has a little resistance on this issue. Even young men elected from the people of allies have doubts about their loyalty and, moreover,

Will it be detrimental to important members of your family or tribe?

Take a closer look, many men and women of the ethnic group have returned with a large amount of fresh gadgets purchased. He even saw some women with bucket waists carrying

The bundle of flax flies with light steps, as if high-quality twine and cloth cannot be made in a few steps at night.

Moreover, the wife also came.

In the evening, the wife became very strange, her hands were pulling the two children. The two children were both white, so Otto rubbed his eyes vigorously, making him think

His lovely Rurik cracked.

Otto stood on the gravel road like a majestic statue, blocking the advance of the crowd.

After a very brief contact, the newly promoted mercenaries headed by Jeflo knelt on one knee in unison, paying respect to the Ruth tribe who had almost existed in the legend.

Big boss.

It can be said that many Mälaren people know very little about the Ross people, and the so-called understanding comes from word of mouth from the merchants. The vast number of farmers consciously don't need to know

So many, as long as any one's own field, one's own wife and children, and any leader of the tribe, that's enough.

When Otto saw them kneeling, he was in a good mood.

"You!" Otto pointed at the shaggy man leading the head: "Where did you come from, and why did you come to my territory? Report truthfully."

Yevlo looked up very calmly and replied: "Great leader, we are the servants of Rurik. You are the true leader of the Rus tribe, and we are also your servants.

people. "

"My servant? Haha? Do you still admire my reputation? I think it's just for money."

Yevlo continued to answer: "Yes, we are mercenaries, but we have principles. If we can work for the son of Odin, this is our honor."

"That is to admire my son's reputation? You answer truthfully."

"Exactly. I dare not hide it."

Otto nodded. As far as today's situation is concerned, he was indeed once "ridden with power." So what? Otto felt that his greatest mission in his later years had changed

Becoming a tribe to train a new leader, for this purpose, what kind of effort is worth it.

"What's your name?" Otto asked.

"I'm Jeflo, originally Gould's mercenary captain. I have been loyal to Rurik on the beach. Now, I..." Jeflo was dull: "I too

Will miss you allegiance. "

"is it?"

Otto is not a fool who can be fooled by a few rhetoric. He stepped forward, stretched out his right foot, and ordered: "Lick my boots to prove that you are worthy of being deceived."

trust. "

This... Obviously slaves can do it. but…

Jeflo hesitated, then leaned down to do the same.

"Look up." Otto kicked Yevlo's chin with the back of his foot. "Look at me now."

"Hello, Zosen! Come here." Otto ordered again.

At this moment, Haro Zuosen hurriedly ran over, with a more flattery in his demeanor. "Big Chief, please give your orders."

Otto hugged and pointed at all kneeling people: "Has Rurik arranged for them? This is the residence of our nobles. They can enter.

In? "

Indeed, ordinary people in the tribe stayed away from the residences of the chief family and relatives.

"The big boss, that big longhouse, Rurik has made arrangements..."

"Oh! I understand." Otto patted his head, "I remember. You put your ears together."

"Yes."

As Harrodsson brought his ears closer, Otto murmured, "Listen, I still don't worry about these people. Brothers in the row watched and found that the suspicious person stood up again.

Grasp the interrogation momentarily. Tomorrow you will arrange for these people to log. Don't worry about my son's arrangements, just do as I said. "

Harrodsson didn't say much, and could ask all kneeling people to follow him and leave.

The episode came to an end. The men and women with a large amount of goods also rushed to their homes and are actively preparing for this year's winter.

The wife came back. When the two white rabbits pulled by the wife really stood in front of him, Otto realized that the two were actually girls.

Just now, Carlotta, the heroic figure of the Ross leader, saw it really. What she saw with her eyes was a majestic leader, and the leader's manners were still a bit dead

Go to the father's appearance. Do not! This old man is even more heroic.

I have to say that because of the two girls' dresses and Liurik's jerseys, Otto was forgiven for the dizziness for a while.

Carlotta's polite representative of her sister, explained her identity.

Hearing it, Otto laughed altogether. Then, with his callous hands, he suddenly lifted the chins of the two girls, taking a look at their faces.

"Yes, as in the legend, very beautiful. Good! It happens to be my son's wife."

Carlotta was used to hearing this again.

Her trembling eyes looked at Otto affectionately: "I am Carlotta, and I am already the female leader elected by the Ostala people. The Ross people's help to us, we Otto

Tara will repay. I already know my destiny, Dad. "

Dad basically topped all the words, and Otto looked at his wife cheerfully again: "They are our children, don't you object, Niya"

"Oh! How can I object? I'm really happy."

"Then don't rush, take them into the house."

In the long room, Otto listened with relish to a brief account of the two girls, as well as what his wife mentioned.

Otto, who was chewing on dried meat, finally realized the tragedy of Ostara, and a meat-cutting dagger was suddenly inserted into the wooden table: "It seems that our revenge is not enough.

The two women were startled, Niya also asked instinctively: "Continue the war?!"

"When have you heard of the war? Our Ross tribe is very powerful. The existence of our Rurik fully proves that our tribe has been blessed by Odin. May

The Larens turned out to be a group of cowards! Next spring, we will still have a war. "

"Let's fight then." Niya didn't have the slightest sense of comfort. After all, war itself is a very common thing in everyone's life. If you don't want to be a slave

, Go take the initiative!

"Then next year, Denmark is too far away, and we will continue to practice with Gotlanders!"

The elderly husband said these things again, and Niya seemed to see Otto when he was young. There was a fire in her eyes: "Okay! Go to fight. Now

We also have a group of mercenaries, I think, if it is against the enemies of our alliance, they will be desperate. "

"The mercenary... still think about it." Otto pinched his beard: "It looks like Rurik is still with Gould."

"Of course!" Niya smiled: "You don't want to eat the dried fish in our house. You go to Gould's mansion now, the old guy has set up a banquet. You may

I don't know, our son has made the final decision on your behalf. "

"Huh? What's the decision?"

"It's silly! The food! You absolutely can't think of the amount." As he said, Niya made crazy gestures with her hands. After all, she had never seen it in her life.

So much food. "The grain brought by Gould will pile up into a mound, enough for our entire tribe to eat tomorrow spring. Rurik decided to buy it all!"

"Sure enough... it came true."

Because of a rough calculation in the conversation with Gould's eldest son, Otto estimated that almost all the silver coins he controlled would have to be spent. Although Gould is in Ross

It's really a good person to give charcoal when the time to build a new base is snowy, and it's a lie to say that buying this batch of materials doesn't feel bad.

Because Otto had never thought in his life that his family could one day hold one hundred thousand silver coins, and this number could continue to rise.

But to finalize this business, I'm afraid the money saved is...

Otto would take Arik to Gould's mansion. Along the way, he listened to his nephew's arrangements for the mercenaries and gave his son a rainy day to build a house.

I am very pleased with the action.

The two walked together, and along the way were full of people happily fighting against supplies. They were so happy that they didn't even notice the big boss passing by.

The night is getting deeper, and the reception hall of Gould's house is now overcrowded for the first time!

Gould arranged the banquet hall and formed a situation where the Gould family sat in one place and the Otto family lived in one place. It can be said that only from the seating position, the double

The ranks of the parties seem to be completely equal.

But the Ross people did not pass the concept of seat level.

Otto came, and he naturally sat with his son. Also sitting with him was Kawei carrying a wooden box.

Opposite them are the main family members of Gould-all the sons from the oldest to the youngest.

There was no maid at the banquet, Ruriek's maid chief Lumia stood obediently aside, and none of Gould's women were present.

After all, this banquet is also a scene for business negotiations. The female family is indeed redundant. Even Gould thinks that it is enough to bring only his eldest son, Snoreva.

In a happy atmosphere, as a plate of roasted lamb was carried in by the strong man, the venue was filled with the fragrance of meat.

Gould stood up first, holding up his gold-encrusted ivory wine glass: "Allow me to salute you, great leader."

It stands to reason that Gould can take out an exquisite glass, but the current situation is that the opposite leader's family brought their own crystal glass, which is even better than their own.

The shape is more beautiful. Taking out the glass can be said to be timid, Gould, who was completely shocked, had to take out the old cup.

Because up to now, Gould still doesn't know that the Roths have become manufacturers of glass products.

"Cheers!" Otto toasted, although it was filled with ordinary ale, he drank it all in one go. By now, Otto felt that ordinary ale was not considered

It's wine!

Gould's maid cut up the lamb, put it on silver plates, and distributed it to all kinds of people sitting there. It's Otto's turn.

The crispy shanks of roasted lamb, served on a plate.

In addition, the very soft bread baked with high-quality whole-wheat flour that is ground and sifted through a sieve can be described as the staple food of dinner. Some others have been topped with honey

The raspberry dried fruit, which is extremely sweet, becomes an appetizer.

Yes, compared to their own dried fish, these delicacies are the most greedy.

Otto looked at Gould's family portrait again, he understood how all these people were fat. Co-authoring this family to do business, in the final analysis is to satisfy the appetite

Desire?

After drinking three rounds of dishes and five flavors, Gould felt that the atmosphere had been brewing very well, and it was time to start business negotiations.

"Great leader, Rurik and I have made preliminary discussions. The Ross tribe will buy all the goods in the outlets. I hope you can finalize this trade."

"This is a good thing!" Otto, who drank some ale, was excited. He knocked on the table and said excitedly: "I am building our Shilla Fort in the East, your supplies

It was too timely. "

Still politely, Gould continued: "It is my greatest honor to be able to help you."

"Then talk about the price!"

Although Rurik intended to tell Dad the price of all the supplies, Otto obviously wanted to ask him personally this time.

Gould pinched his fingers and said: "All the oats, onions, and carrots, they have exceeded fifty thousand silver coins. Garuci these, a price of fifty thousand silver coins!

"Gould doesn't want to calculate too much, although he feels that he will suffer by cutting off the fraction.

"There are also those servants who are transporting hard, and there are mercenaries. They total more than a hundred people, I still count as one hundred people. Each one is based on one hundred silver coins, I want

Ten thousand silver coins..."

"Listen!" Otto banged on the table, gnawing clean lamb bones all shaking off the ground.

Rurik closed his mouth, and he could see that Dad was panicking.

"It's ridiculous!" Otto screamed hard: "So much money? You are stealing money!"

"But..." Gould calmed down, and from the corner of his eyes he glanced at Rurik with a wooden face, and hurriedly explained: "Great leader. For example, the person I transported.

In Mellaren, I gave them a house, food, and even if they were sick. Transporting them also requires a fee. All is for money! I discussed with Rurik

, Now I hire people to give your servants a new house, I also want to earn some money! In this matter, you can't just send me away for two or three thousand silver coins. "

Otto still finds it ridiculous, so he can justify: "This is how you are not. We are buying your wheat at double the price."

Gould realized that the atmosphere was a bit subtle, but Gould's bottom line about the wheat was very high: "My leader, we swear about the wheat. We even

There is a written contract, should I take it out immediately? This is the only thing you must not go back on. "

"You..." Otto was taken aback. Indeed, this fat man had signed a lot of written documents with his son, and even had priests as witnesses.

Rurik, who has been shutting up, consciously found an opportunity to happen, which means that his flustered father reiterated: "I will follow the agreement. I will spend 10,000 silver coins and buy

All the servants are reasonable and reasonable. There are also related expenses for those mercenaries. Gould, I will bear all the expenses you paid for them in Mälaren. "

Gould was very pleased. He euphemistically said: "I don't care about ordinary mercenaries. They become your servants, and it is also a benefit for them. Only Yev

Luo! Losing him, I lost my love, because you need to compensate me for this. "

"Money? Jeflo?" Otto thought of the young man for a moment. It seemed that he still had a deep friendship with this Gould?

"Only this is not a matter of money. In the past, Jeflo protected my personal safety. Now I need a new backer, it is you." Gould looked sincerely.

Looking at Otto: "Big Chief, I have moved. I need your acknowledgment and admit that I am a native of Ross. If you admit me now, I won't even need these ten thousand silver coins.

"Huh? You want to join us completely?" Otto asked, pinching his beard.

"I have completely gotten off Unkras. I need a new identity. I hope it's a Ross businessman."

"That's it!" Otto said casually with a smile, "So, Maizi's expense, isn't it..."

Gould panicked, "My leader! I am already willing to give up a lot of benefits. Only wheat is the only thing, I hope to look at the elements of business principles.

Please be sure to maintain the price. "

As a buyer, Otto certainly wants to keep the price down, not to mention that he has realized that he can use his power to press Gould into submission.

But Rurik was not satisfied with his father's chicken thieves.

Rurik said on behalf of his father: "We also have principles. I will give ten thousand silver coins, and wheat's money will not be less than one silver coin. Will I take out sixty thousand silver coins?

Come without regret! I will not breach the contract, and I believe you will not. So now is the time for me to fulfill the promise. Kawei! "

"Yes!" Kawei, who was almost an outsider, echoed loudly.

"Move your box to the big merchant and open it!"

Kawei came carrying the wooden box, and as the bronze lock opened, the neatly arranged glasses made Gould lie completely on the ground. Gould's sons, one

All of them poked their heads, staring at the huge amount of rare treasures, all stupefied.

There are glass bottles full of strange liquids.

"You guys actually have... so many crystals? No! I feel like glass."

Rurik held back for a long time, and now finally said: "Gould, I should have told you that the glasses you showed before were all made by our Ross people."

"Really? Is this really true?"

Gould later learned of the news for a while, he had always been skeptical, but now that he saw so many glassware, this suspicion has disappeared.

"Of course it is true. Kawei, pour wine for our merchant."

The commanding Kawei took out a bottle, pulled out the cork in front of Gould, and suddenly a strong aroma of wine spurted out. Gould's eyes widened, looking at his emptiness.

The ivory cup is filled with transparent wine.

"Rurik, you...you tell me this is wine?"

"This is wine! Try it," Rurik urged.

Gould immediately took the cup in both hands and drank it. Then, he was shocked by the strong impulse and squirted out the spirits in his stomach, but this is indeed unprecedented.

Good wine.

His mood stabilized a little, then he played with the empty glass bottle, sniffed the still strong aroma of the bottle, silently closed his eyes, and felt his stomach again.

Wonderful feeling of warmth.

There was a strange pattern on the glass bottle, and Gould realized that it was a Roman character.

"Rurik, what did you engrave on it?"

"It's the name of our tribe, RUS, and the name of the wine, VODKA. Also, this wine can burn."

Gould didn't know it, and as the spirits in his ivory cup ignited a hot flame, Gould's worldview had collapsed.

He tremblingly said: "My family bought a new crystal cup in Mälaren, which I think is a rare treasure. I can't think of you here, why so many. I still do it.

The promise, burning wine, you actually did it. "

If Rurik is too bad, he will act unkindly; "My friend, your glasses are indeed what we only make."

Hearing, Gould immediately cursed at the eldest son, calling Snoreva an idiot. But the eldest son can't argue with anything!

"Gould, the times have changed." Rurik comforted: "I was inspired by Odin. In the past, only the Romans could make glassware. Not only did the Romans know how to make glassware.

do. Look at these bottles, we have done a lot. "

"How much? I want them!" Gould said without thinking.

"I originally priced a bottle of two hundred silver coins. Maybe it is too expensive. I am afraid that one hundred silver coins are too cheap. In my opinion, how about one hundred and fifty silver coins?"

"Okay! I want them all," Gould said, knocking on the table.

"Then a hundred silver coins." Rurik smiled.

At this point, Gould really didn't know if Rurik was playing tricks on himself: "You actually cut the price?!" Even Otto felt that his son was wrong.

Rurik smiled and shook his head: "Gould, only you, I can reduce the price. We are very happy that your entire family settled in Roseburg and joined us in Rose.

In the tribe, even if you know that we have cancelled tribal dividends now. We welcome you very much. "

"Don't be surprised, this is my choice. It seems I made the wisest choice in my life."

"Then did you bring more ale? Just as we agreed." Rurik asked.

"some."

"Okay. The key to making vodka is ale. You give me all the ale, and we make you spirits. As for the price, we will sell you eighty silver coins if we make a bottle.

it is also fine. "

Gould trembled with excitement, "I like your bottles too, if it's just a bottle..."

"Wine bottle? Okay. This kind of bottle is fifty silver coins apiece. Your kind of cup is more expensive, and it's also sixty silver coins."

Knowing the real price, Gould really shouted in his heart that he was actually cheated by his peers in Mälaren. Besides saying that the eldest son lacks experience to justify, he can also

say something?

In this way, the Roths completed the largest transaction in the history of the Roth tribe. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

The spirits and glass bottles offset the payment of fifteen thousand silver coins.

Rurik used only 45,000 silver coins to get everything that Gould had transported. Of course, there are still many small items of goods that should be counted, so happy ancient

Elder has ignored it.

Why? Because the two sides will sign a new trade agreement next, which will bring you even greater benefits in the trade season next year. Gould believes

At this point, he felt that he could also get a share of the glassware trade. Even if he knew that Rurik had worked with Uppsala merchants and Merlaren merchants.

The transaction of glassware.

Gould made a lot of money in this trade, and the Russ made more than just money. That's a supply of charcoal in the snow! Massive grain shipments

Upon arriving in Shilla Fort, the local residents will surely spend the first winter in peace.

Many people from the homeland will be eligible to share this batch of materials.
