The large beach in Roseburg is bustling with activity and will serve as a market for some time to come.
The "army" of migratory businessmen arrived safely, and almost everyone had great hopes for the Russians. It is said that the Russians grabbed huge wealth during the war? The businessmen are eager to get a share of the pie now.
Rurik's cousin Arik took on the job of maintaining order and bought some leather jackets for himself and his guys.
Almost all leather jackets come from Vodgen. Look, many young Russian men generously took out their silver coins and put on brand new leather jackets, happily showing off.
For the time being, Arik has no time to take care of his younger brother, even though his younger brother now carries the sword of the leader to perform the duties of the leader.
Finally, someone hurried to the noisy market and found the shouting Arik among the chaotic crowd.
"Arik, hurry! The son of Odin wants you to take your brothers and go there quickly." The messenger was in a panic, and his right hand kept pointing in the direction of Gould's mansion.
"Don't you see what I'm busy with?"
"Arik, this is an order. The son of Odin requires us to go now. It is best to take as many elderly men from the tribe as possible."
What are you doing there? Isn't this little brother in trouble?
At this moment, Arik raised his arms and shouted, which fully demonstrated the appeal of a young military commander.
In a short period of time, more than 200 men heard the news and followed closely behind Arik.
Of course, more people still rely on the market to buy all kinds of useful things before spending their budget.
Arik came in force with a group of men, almost all of whom had swords attached to them. They came here as if they were here to fight.
As a result, after learning Rurik's decision, everyone was not only shocked, but also happy.
In a short period of time, Rurik and the Ostara female leader Carlotta had an in-depth conversation about future matters.
Now, what else can the people of Ostara ask for? As long as they can live with dignity, it will be great happiness.
So Rurik and Carlotta made an agreement on how to settle most of the refugees immediately.
Arik came excitedly with the men, including many older ones. After everyone learned of Rurik's very responsible decision, they immediately struck up a conversation with this group of refugees.
Those women with their children had a narrow escape and have been surviving for two months.
Let the past of suffering be gone forever, and a new life must begin.
All the women with children found their new destination, which was to marry the Russians who approached them immediately.
After all, they are women, especially younger women who have given birth to children. Because of this experience, they basically have no worries about dystocia when they give birth again.
Some Russian men have no worries at all. They only want a wife. They make a promise to the refugee woman and even point out Rurik as a witness to the promise.
With almost no livelihood, they immediately accepted the offer. Then, they continued to hold or hold their children and left with their new husbands.
For them, a new life has begun.
Carlotta was a little sad and a little happy.
The tribesmen did not become slaves, but became wives of the people who were allies.
But things have become like this, can the Ostara tribe be revived? The tribe has lost all the men who can hold weapons, and the remaining women and children can be taken in or even adopted by the allied people. It is already the greatest luck. But they
It is equivalent to giving up the identity of Ostara and now living as a new Russian.
In addition, there are a group of orphans from Ostara, and they are all girls.
Now she is a girl, ten years later she will be a woman, and then she will be the mother of a new generation of Roses.
The best way Rurik could think of to place them is to find a foster home for them. I'm afraid that can't be regarded as a real foster family. Rurik firmly believes that when he decides to implement this decision, it is equivalent to giving him a foster home.
The subordinate identified his future wife.
The women with children have all left, leaving a group of orphan girls standing blankly. They basically know that their so-called leaders are now dependent on strong men, and as for themselves...
All the girls kept their mouths shut, thinking silently in their hearts that they would find a good home.
Rurik called a lot of boys, all of whom he thought were powerful beings. To be precise, Rurik divided the boys he trained into groups, and the smallest unit was a group of ten. He called them
They are all "team leaders" and talents destined to grow into strong men in Kongwu.
The girls gathered together, and Rurik's men were ordered to stand in a line.
They were all under the close attention of a crowd. Gould, Harold Johnson, and other well-known people were already talking happily.
Rurik held his sword. He had already dealt with too many things while standing. Now that the sun was setting, he felt exhausted. He just wanted to end it all as soon as possible.
"Brothers, I won't talk nonsense. You are loyal to me, and of course I have to show it. Look at these girls, they are almost the same age as you. Although it is not in line with our etiquette, I have decided. You will
Take them all away, and when they are twelve years old, they will be engaged!"
Hearing this, the girls were surprised and happy, while the boys were just ecstatic.
Even though they are still children, now they are really looking forward to their twelfth birthday, eager to be eligible to get married as soon as possible, and then become real warriors.
"You make your own choice!" After Rurik gave the order, the boys hurried over, aimed at their targets, grabbed each other's wrists and left.
"What a bunch of anxious guys. I hope you will be very brave on the battlefield in the future." Rurik didn't say much, his eyes were always observing.
His subordinates were only eight or nine years old. Rather than choosing their future wives themselves, it would be more appropriate to say that they were looking for a childhood playmate of the opposite sex.
Bururik watched helplessly as Kanuf took the two girls' wrists, his freckled face burst into laughter.
Among all his subordinates, only Fisk remained calm, but the boy's frown made Rurik feel that the matter was not simple.
Fisk did not choose his woman, and Rurik had no intention of mistreating his loyal man.
Some time ago, Rurik accidentally discovered a pair of twin sisters among the refugees. If you think about it, they are very cute, but it is sad that their home was destroyed by the war. Now these two girls are the only ones who are not involved. Even a fool can do it.
Understand, these two women Rurik have other plans.
In other words, from the beginning, Rurik wanted to hand over the two girls to Fisk, who was already ten years old. Unexpectedly, Fisk frowned.
All the refugee girls have their own destination, and Carlotta is very happy about this situation.
Fisk, who was empty-handed, was at a loss for a moment.
"Fisk!" Rurik asked loudly, winking, "Don't you choose one?"
"Must it be?"
"Why not? You'll be of engagement age soon. It looks like you're worried about something."
"Yes! Because I...my family..." Fisk wanted to say that he was poor, but thanks to the care of his associates, the difficult time has passed. However, the number of family members suddenly increased, and the living standard dropped again.
"Come here." Rurik waved his hand, and then pushed the two women hiding in the snow to the front desk.
"I'll leave these two girls to you."
"Is this...appropriate?" Facing a girl of almost the same age, Fisk actually felt a little shy. The two girls also held hands and hooked their heads, feeling shy and at a loss.
"You are actually shy. You are a man, and you are a general I can trust. Accept what I reward you." After saying that, Rurik pushed the two women's backs hard with both hands, and pushed them to Fisk's side.
.
"Listen, their family members were all killed in Danish attacks. Fisk, your father was also killed in Danish attacks. Almost all of us have relatives who died in Danish attacks. Maybe you and them can have a lot of stories.
words."
The two girls clearly realized what Rurik said. They raised their heads at the same time, looking at Fisk's face in surprise with trembling eyes.
it is more than words.
Fisk spread his hands to conquer them, and his tight mouth and determined eyes were equivalent to a promise to his woman: he must take revenge on the Danes.
Rurik's lips curled up in relief, and he shouted loudly: "Brothers, they are your family now. I order you to treat them well. You don't have to worry about eating at all, and the same goes for your women every day.
Two pounds of fish, this is my reward."
In an instant, Fisk took the lead and yelled "Ula", and the others heard the sound and moved.
The children's roars amazed the onlookers.
The slogan "Ula" obviously has no special meaning, but since this slogan is shouted rhythmically to Rurik, it is very meaningful.
It can be said that this slogan symbolizes that Rurik has already established an authority, rather than relying on the sword of the leader's father.
In a short period of time, women with children and orphans whose families were wiped out all found new homes.
Carlotta pulled her sister Ella's little hand. Not only were the two of them stunned, but their ears were filled with the sounds of a group of children cheering for Rurik.
But now, I and my sister are really alone.
The female leader of the Ostara tribe? What’s the point now? Do you really count on your own belly to rebuild a tribe?
"So, who will be my husband? Could it be him?" Carlotta stared straight at Rurik's back. The more she murmured in her heart, the more complicated her mood became.
Finally, two gentle hands covered the little faces of Carlotta and Ella respectively.
They looked up and saw a middle-aged woman with wrinkles on her face and a peaceful attitude.
"Madam, are you..." Carlotta asked weakly.
"I am the chief's wife and Rurik's mother. Child, be my child, okay?"
"I...maybe I should think about it again."
"No need to think about it anymore." Niya said with a smile: "I will take care of you like your biological mother. The real leader of the Ross tribe will be your father. Look." Niya pointed to her own
Son: "Rurik, the future leader of the Rus' people, will be your brother. Son, what do you think?"
Do you still want to think about it again?
Carlotta and Ella longed to be adopted by the leader of Ross, but Carlotta didn't dare to think too much and couldn't think too much.
"Okay, Mom." Carlotta entered the state instantly. Ella saw her sister's behavior and reluctantly called her mother.
Niya smiled happily. She leaned her face close to her children's ears and said, "What a smart boy. From now on, you will live with Rurik. Well...forever."
This statement was Niya's hint. She didn't expect that Carlotta actually knew everything.
"Mom, I understand."
"Oh? You understand?"
"Yes, I...Ella and I will...become Rurik's wife. That's right."
"Of course. Are you willing?" Niya asked knowingly.
"I do. Coming to the Ross tribe is really the most correct choice for us Ostara people." As she spoke, Carlotta shed tears.
"Child, don't cry. Let's live a good life from now on." Niya wiped Carlotta's tears with her left hand, and subconsciously pinched Ella's chubby little face with her right hand. She thought Carlotta fell because she was moved.
I cried, but this is only part of the truth.
Carlotta is still a little sad. After all, the refugees in Ostara have been guaranteed survival, and everyone will have dignity in the future. But Ostara has been absorbed by the Ross tribe, a complete and independent Ostara.
, may never exist again.
Niya was very happy to adopt the last two sisters of the Ostara tribe. She even wished that her son would grow up with these two girls in an instant and get married later.
The Svetalana in the East was something Niya didn't understand and couldn't touch. Although she saw Rumia every day, she was a deer herder and a servant after all, so Niya had some grudges in her heart.
Carlotta and Ella are different. They are naturally beautiful, and their extremely strong qualities when they fled are also highly praised by the Russians. Such girls will definitely be very outstanding women when they grow up, not to mention their identities.
It's also very noble.
Holding the cheeks of the two daughters, Niya even thought of names for her grandchildren, which were the names of her two dead sons.
There is no question of good or bad luck here. Niya just wants her two grandsons to inherit the names of their deceased uncles, and once again make up for Niya's lingering pain of losing his son in his life.
When his mother adopted the female leader of the Ostara tribe as her daughter, Rurik did not resist at all. He was fully mentally prepared.
In this way, the Ostara refugees can be considered to have a favorable destination.
Next, there are still many people who need a clear destination.
The very thorny issue here is the accommodation of servants. The two large "barracks and dormitories" built by Rurik are fully capable of being put into use, but the number of people coming is so large that the barracks cannot be crowded at all.
What's more, those two barracks have their own purposes.
One barracks accommodated the most loyal servants, and the other was for mercenaries.
The current problem is that there are too many people coming, and the existing infrastructure is completely unable to meet the actual needs.
Rurik realized the seriousness of the problem and the urgency of change.
Because, although it is the end of August, winter is approaching!
It is necessary to build a number of strong and warm houses before winter. They do not need to be made of wood carvings with wooden floors and fireplaces, they just need to be built according to traditional longhouses. The ultimate goal is to ensure that they will not freeze to death.
Providing safety and adequate food to all servants, Rurik is not a saint who saves people from distress.
All servants are useful. By hosting the Ostarans, the Russians also need to benefit from their righteous deeds. Because this is not the territory of the Ostarans, taking them in requires "rent", and of course the rent
It's easy to talk about, but they are currently penniless and still have to pay some price. The women who took care of the children became the wives of the Russians, which was a price. The orphan refugee girls became the future wives of their guys, which was also a price.
kind of price.
This is the price that everyone can be in trouble with.
As for the servants that Gould obtained through various channels, they must pay for them unconditionally in exchange for food for survival and the right to live in a warm house from their master.
However, Rurik did have a strong sense of compassion. Faced with a large group of beggars who were said to have been picked up, Rurik had already made a decision.
Don't look at the huge number of girls among the people who were transported.
Many tribesmen feel that the role of these children is really insignificant, but Rurik does not think so. Compared with boys, these girls who have lost their support know how to seize opportunities best, and have extremely strong demands for a stable and peaceful life. And because they are women, they
Basically insulated from armed rebellion.
Whether they are refugee girls or the beggars picked up by Melalen, they will all become laborers. Although it is impossible to expect them to do manual labor, Rurik only intends to arrange for them to do high-tech jobs.
For example, making soap, or working in a blacksmith shop. Or even cutting grass in the wilderness and bringing it back to feed reindeer.
No matter how weak they are, they are still a labor force! Of course, if they receive a certain amount of education, the situation will be better.
Rurik had already thought about it. During the boring winter, he would become a teacher and give some cultural lessons to his subordinates, especially to popularize practical mathematics knowledge. Now it seems that there are many students who can be educated. Just go there by yourself
When you are a teacher, you don’t have to be so tired that you pass out?
Rurik thought of Rumia. This girl could be called his first student. After all, students must also become teachers to educate more students.
As for the food issue, this is not a problem, but it is also an issue that Rurik must negotiate with Gould as soon as possible.
And this is what Rurik and Gould agreed to discuss tonight.
In the afternoon of arriving in Hong Kong, there were all kinds of people including refugees, servants and mercenaries. Rurik thought that the resettlement work for these people was completed. To resettle so many people, Gould would definitely be able to provide a lot of help. In the new house
Before the construction was completed, Rurik felt that he needed continued help from Gould.
Gould was a businessman who was looking for money, and on this basis, he was also a guy who knew the current affairs.
Rurik knew that today, as the leader of the Ross, he had to finalize the largest business deal in the history of the Ross tribe with this man, and the business would be negotiated immediately!
