The scene becomes a little chaotic, and Otto must control it.
He deliberately waited for the excitement of the tribe to ferment for a while, and when those people saw that the leader did not express his attitude, the initial enthusiasm gradually dimmed.
"Are you all done yelling? Now listen to me!
We are talking about going to the Eastern Passage to build a stronghold. Why did it become an attack on the Gotland?
You remember our hatred, how can I forget it. However, the Gotlanders are not weak, and we should not be eager to take revenge this year just because we recalled those people for a while. We cannot interrupt the plan because of this.
You young people, rather than going to Gotland to seek revenge, you should first consider your marriage.
We want revenge, we want to take more warriors to revenge.
I will take you to Novgorod soon and find a beautiful wife for each of you, and soon each of you can be a father.
When you all grow up to be real men, you will take your son who can already afford weapons, and follow our new leader, Ryuk, who will take you to the most thorough revenge. "
Otto's eyes were torch at the moment, and his big hands suddenly grabbed the young Rurik who was waiting and hugged him on the table.
How is this going?
Lurik looked left and right a little bit, standing on a high place, an outstanding scene, he found that he could look down on all the tops of his head.
Otto instigated softly behind him: "You heard everything, kid. When you grow up, you want to take them to Gotland to get revenge. Your uncle died in the hands of those bastards, and many people's fathers and brothers died in those hands. , You are going to take revenge."
"I…"
"Retell what I said!"
The exciting scenes caused Rurik to be a little flustered for a while, as if their anger was completely ignited, and they hated to wait for the ice and snow to melt and rush directly to Gotland on foot.
Otto murmured a word from behind, and Rurik could only retell it aloud, obediently. These contents are really horrifying, no matter how you look at them, they are all about Gotland, and this game is released in the name of Rurik.
"I... I have to take them to that island when I grow up and chop down the entire island from top to bottom? I want to wipe out all the enemies? I want to dig out all their hidden treasures?" Rurik's My mind can't help but deeply doubt the rationality of doing so. Is it reasonable? But there is a certain degree of rationality.
They want to avenge the relatives who died in the war, and then make a fortune of gold and silver. The relatives have been dead for many years, if revenge would have been rushed over. Now that this matter is brought up, looting gold and silver is the most simple purpose, of course, blood feuds still have to be reported.
Lurik obeyed his father, chanting "revenge" slogan, and weighed the cost-effectiveness of doing so.
As far as feelings are concerned, Rurik doesn't understand his uncle Ogier, who died in battle, and he has no feeling for the Gotland people who killed his uncle.
However, when his cousin Arik mentioned the Gotland people, he was full of anger and yearned for revenge.
Lurik also doesn't think Gotland is really a place of wealth, because soap and steel swords are two things, and you can make a lot of money by selling them. In order to take the risk of looting, it is really a bad idea. Using a soft knife of commercial means is more efficient than grabbing with an axe in person.
I have earned a sum of money, and personal wealth is still accumulating at a high speed. With more money, you can recruit a group of servants, that is, "slaves" defined by others, and feed a group of servants, and you will be more powerful.
Standing on the seat, Rurik shouted for revenge, causing everyone to roar enthusiastically. He knew that his elderly father, Otto, was still building momentum for himself. If you want to be a leader, you must have sufficient financial resources. The core key is to obtain the support of the strongest group of people among the people.
The elite forces of the tribe are gathered here, and those who can buy sulfur soap are definitely strong men with money and force.
But when it comes to personal ambitions, Rurik is more willing to go east. Since everyone is a Rus, then fate is to become a real Rus, rather than shrinking to a corner of the Arctic Circle as a city-state, and ultimately still exist as a part of Sweden.
Ross, according to the historical development context, she should occupy the entire Eastern Europe. The wheel of history has already begun to operate, and Rurik knew that even if they yelled to go south to counterattack the Gotlans, building a stronghold at the mouth of the Neva River was an impossible decision to change.
The tribe has not yet dared to stand up and frankly opposed Otto, there is no such person.
They stand here just to take this opportunity to show the leader that young people are eager to make contributions.
They were tired from shouting slogans, and their aggrieved emotions were vented by Haosheng. It was like Arik recalled the grief and anger of his father being killed. After the shouting, he felt better. After all, he took his wife Peravina to the tomb of his father Ogier.
Those who are willing to buy sulfur soap have already put the baby in their arms. People who just watched the excitement also went back one after another as the evening arrived.
Lurik had been put down long ago, watching people leave, and deeply regret that his sulfur soap was not sold out in the first time.
He muttered suddenly: "Dad, is the price of three silver coins too high? It really doesn't work, I'll just... try again with two silver coins?"
"No need." Otto's rough hand covered his son's head. "Just keep it at this price. In my opinion, they are just nervous with money! You think they yelled and asked me to allow them to go south to attack the Gotlandians. What is the purpose?"
"It's revenge," Rurik said deliberately.
"Bah! Of course it is for money! What do you think of the Gotlanders? They are actually very rich."
"Rich? I heard Arik say that those guys are a bunch of fishermen."
"It's just a fisherman?" Otto shook his head, and bluntly criticized his nephew's ignorance. "Rurik, do you believe him or believe me? You never imagined that those Gotlanders, who were once half our ally?"
"Huh? They are also part of the league?" Rurik was a little surprised.
"Once they intended to join the alliance, but later, the leaders of the Gotland people respected the Danes as their masters. They gradually became unwilling to do business with us, and gradually became hostile to us under the instigation of those Danes. "
"It's actually... so it is."
Indeed, in the concept of Rurik, Gotland is part of Sweden. In this era, the Swedish state has not yet formed, and it is still a process of the so-called tribal alliance becoming a formal feudal state, that is, the leader of the strongest tribe will be reasonably upgraded from the leader to the king.
Including the Danes are also in this gradual process. Obviously, Denmark is just one step away from upgrading to a feudal kingdom.
Through his father’s description, Rurik can estimate that the Danes had been wooing the residents of Gotland a long time ago, and now, the Danes have indeed established a stronghold in the Götaland area.
The Danes are using their own force and diplomatic strategies to try to make up a huge group of tribes that speak Norse in the sea.
The Danes have the determination to unify the Baltic Sea and are also trying to complete it.
When the traditional trade between tribes, with the fall of Rome and the development of shipbuilding, trade between tribes became more frequent. They have actually entered a state of separatism between the princes. Frequent trade and wars are actually a process of integration. Because they want to defeat the commercial enemy, but cannot be defeated by the enemy, the closely-connected tribes must sign a covenant to unite.
They are bound to form a larger alliance with each other, and still have to win other small alliances.
The rise of the Danes is like this! Because the Gotlanders joined the alliance, the Danish power instantly overwhelmed the Swedes living in the Svealand Plain in the north, that is, the Mind Sub-Union.
Rurik has heard more or less that his alliance is competing with the Danes for the southern highlands of Götaland. It is a rather humid place with a lot of shallow waters and a relatively mild climate nourishes a lot. Of pasture. Unlike the environment where wheat can be grown in the Svealand Plain, Yotaland is a good pasture.
There was a group of people grazing here a long time ago, but they are not from Svealand, but from Gotland.
The so-called Gotland people are still Gotland people. They graze on a large scale in the high plains, and then transport cattle and sheep to Gotland to market the entire Viking world. The Danes living in Jutland and surrounding islands went north as soon as they completed the unification of their internal tribes.
For the Gotland people, compared to the residents of Svealand in the north, Danish talent is their biggest trading partner.
The Danes are here.
War? Do not!
Recognizing that the Danes are the leader is the best choice for making big money.
Maybe in the Viking era, Gotland was the center of the entire Viking world. Just because of its geographical location, it is the central position of the Baltic Sea, the inner sea, which in a sense is very similar to the Apennines in the Mediterranean.
Departing from Gotland, the ship is not far away in all directions. The islanders raised livestock on land pastures, traditional trade with the Danes, or looted ancient Prussians, Vinland, Poles, and even the Franks in the south. They have accumulated a lot of wealth.
The wealthy are happy to hoard silver coins, as long as it is silver, they will not refuse silver coins of various specifications.
Elderly people in the Ross tribe know more or less that the Gotlanders who attacked the Ross fleet are wealthy as a whole. If the Minya Alliance can conquer Gotland, not only will they have a lot of wealth, it also means that they can occupy the entire Gotaland. The Mind Subtribe Alliance, which has been suppressed by the Danes for so many years, will rise instantly.
So, can the Alliance possess the Gotland?
How can it be that simple? !
Otto believes that if the warriors of the entire alliance are assembled, they will fight the Danes in a decisive battle, and their chances of winning are not great. There is no other reason. The other side has more people. In this era, each other is the warriors of the sea in the wilderness. Whoever can assemble more warriors will be the easiest to win.
Besides, there is another variable here, the Norwegian in the west of the mountains.
The merchants of the Mind Subtribe Alliance can go overland, pass some obstacles in the mountains, and directly trade with the Norwegians overland, but this kind of transaction is far less pleasant than sailing.
However, the Alliance and the Gotland have actually become rivals, and the sea route to the ocean has been cut off. The ancestors of the Swedes watched the Danes, the Norwegians, and the Gotland people who followed the Danes and made a fortune in the attacks on Britain and Frank. How could they not feel itchy?
The Gotland people are rich and powerful, and it may not be a wise choice to provoke them now.
Otto is very old after all, and now he is more willing to pinch the persimmons, not to mention the problems faced by the Ross tribe and allies are indeed different.
He can be sure that at least fifty years have passed since the Rus tribe opened up the eastern inland waterway.
There is a legend in the ancestors, the so-called: You only need to find a river flowing south or east in those intricate waterways, follow it and you will enter an extremely salty sea, and eventually you will meet the mighty Romans.
Roman? Otto himself didn't see it, but not only did the high priest see it, but the long house also has precious Roman sheepskins as evidence.
How can Otto change the strategy that the tribe has developed for decades because of the excitement of young people? When he was alive, he had to repair the new stronghold at the mouth of the sea. After he died, his son Ruriek had to inherit the long-cherished wish of his ancestors and continue to expand eastward. As long as it develops from the Roman trade line, why should the Rus tribe still use the attitude of a sub-tribal alliance to help those ineffective allies with the Danes?
Although the Gotland people are indeed rich, the young people mentioned the long-cherished wish of looting, and they have expressed it in their own face. Otto knew that they would not understand at this time.
For the time being, life in general is still boring. Although it is February, the climate has become slightly warmer, but the sea ice has no meaning to thaw.
Young people must not ignore the attack on Gotland Island in the name of revenge for the time being to steal money. After today’s events, they will inevitably regard this as an important piece of talk. They have a strong desire to rob gold and silver, individual people or hearts are worried, if everyone gathers together, the sense of fear will be overwhelmed by the desire for wealth.
Although they are leaving, Otto guessed that a group of young people would go back to polish their axes and swords.
Otto piled up the silver coins he earned. The priests behind the scenes making soap walked out of the long house. Bona and everyone looked at the pile of silver coins and their eyes were straight.
"Now is the time to divide the money." Otto turned around, and he faced Bona deliberately. New 81 Chinese network update the fastest computer terminal: https://
"Bona, according to the agreement, of the ninety silver coins earned here, eighteen of them belong to you. Now I will give them to you."
"Thank you, great leader!" Bona's heart was beating wildly. Not only did she see so much money, but also because the leader was willing to help the priest sell things.
She received the money, not only did she ask: "Chief, I see there are 20 bars of soap. You said that you can sell all the soaps we make."
Otto was a little bit troubled: "But they didn't buy it. Bona, I really need to tell you something about soap."
In this era, we cannot expect ordinary people to have much economic knowledge. Even the Vikings are more active in thinking than those who have completely degraded to a purely agricultural social life in Western Europe, and they do not understand the concept of "balance of supply and demand".
Otto was only very simple to perceive this time. The factor that cannot be sold immediately is particularly simple-the tribe cannot make every small family pay silver coins to buy soap.
Otto even suggested: "Maybe, you should suspend production. When I return with people and distribute the wealth, many people will come back to buy soap."
But Bona loves silver coins. Only silver coins can bring a better life to the priests who are so-called "no production, no looting, and worship by the tribe."
All the priests' faces showed awkwardness, and the deep collapsed wrinkles made them hesitate.
They are women after all, and Rurik just can't stand the woman's grievances, and can't help feeling compassionate.
All the wealth from selling soap is his own. Rurik gritted his teeth and took out twelve silver coins from the 80% he had allocated and handed it to the grieving Bona himself.
"Ruriek, this..."
"You take it. Just assume that the soap is all sold, Bona, I won't let you lose. You can continue to do it, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, I will directly give you silver coins, as if they are completely Sell it."
Bona understood immediately and asked, "Is this all right?"
"Of course. I will pay you the agreed 20% first, and you don’t have to worry about the rest. If I suffer a loss, it’s my business. I will never let you receive a loss. Even...even if I do. If you are a leader, your life will be guaranteed!"
"Oh! You are such a respectable child!"
Having said this, Rurik asked himself, he really looks like a profiteer! It is true that double the profit can make capital betray the conscience, but this is five times the profit! The simple priests still feel that they have made money! Do they really think that their labor is so cheap? !
Money was given to them, and Rurik noticed his father Otto's slight discomfort from the corner of his eyes.
Just as the scene was a little embarrassing, just as the priests were smiling, a furry tan fur coat was draped in a tan furry bear coat, the collar was decorated with ferret wool, and the waist belt was hung with a string of gold ornaments The man walked over, and behind him were two more armored warriors as entourage.
This person is rich and gorgeous, and he will definitely attract others' attention wherever he goes.
Otto noticed this person from the corner of his alert eye. He was particularly alert to those warriors who dressed differently from his tribe, and his big hands were instinctively alert and clinging to the hilt.
But the comer is not the enemy.
A smile quickly appeared on Otto’s face, because the person who came was a wealthy guest businessman, and he really recognized him.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
The scene becomes a little chaotic, and Otto must control it.
He deliberately waited for the excitement of the tribe to ferment for a while, and when those people saw that the leader did not express his attitude, the initial enthusiasm gradually dimmed.

You remember our hatred, how can I forget it. However, the Gotlanders are not weak, and we should not be eager to take revenge this year just because we recalled those people for a while. We cannot interrupt the plan because of this.You young people, rather than going to Gotland to seek revenge, you should first consider your marriage. We want revenge, we want to take more warriors to revenge. I will take you to Novgorod soon and find a beautiful wife for each of you, and soon each of you can be a father.When you all grow up to be real men, you will take your son who can already afford weapons, and follow our new leader, Ryuk, who will take you to the most thorough revenge. " Otto's eyes were torch at the moment, and his big hands suddenly grabbed the young Rurik who was waiting and hugged him on the table. How is this going?Lurik looked left and right a little bit, standing on a high place, an outstanding scene, he found that he could look down on all the tops of his head.Otto instigated softly behind him: "You heard everything, kid. When you grow up, you want to take them to Gotland to get revenge. Your uncle died in the hands of those bastards, and many people's fathers and brothers died in those hands. , You are going to take revenge." "I" "Retell what I said!" The exciting scenes caused Rurik to be a little flustered for a while, as if their anger was completely ignited, and they hated to wait for the ice and snow to melt and rush directly to Gotland on foot. Otto murmured a word from behind, and Rurik could only retell it aloud, obediently. These contents are really horrifying, no matter how you look at them, they are all about Gotland, and this game is released in the name of Rurik."I... I have to take them to that island when I grow up and chop down the entire island from top to bottom? I want to wipe out all the enemies? I want to dig out all their hidden treasures?" Rurik's My mind can't help but deeply doubt the rationality of doing so. Is it reasonable? But there is a certain degree of rationality. They want to avenge the relatives who died in the war, and then make a fortune of gold and silver. The relatives have been dead for many years, if revenge would have been rushed over. Now that this matter is brought up, looting gold and silver is the most simple purpose, of course, blood feuds still have to be reported.Lurik obeyed his father, chanting "revenge" slogan, and weighed the cost-effectiveness of doing so.As far as feelings are concerned, Rurik doesn't understand his uncle Ogier, who died in battle, and he has no feeling for the Gotland people who killed his uncle. However, when his cousin Arik mentioned the Gotland people, he was full of anger and yearned for revenge.Lurik also doesn't think Gotland is really a place of wealth, because soap and steel swords are two things, and you can make a lot of money by selling them. In order to take the risk of looting, it is really a bad idea. Using a soft knife of commercial means is more efficient than grabbing with an axe in person. I have earned a sum of money, and personal wealth is still accumulating at a high speed. With more money, you can recruit a group of servants, that is, "slaves" defined by others, and feed a group of servants, and you will be more powerful. Standing on the seat, Rurik shouted for revenge, causing everyone to roar enthusiastically. He knew that his elderly father, Otto, was still building momentum for himself. If you want to be a leader, you must have sufficient financial resources. The core key is to obtain the support of the strongest group of people among the people.The elite forces of the tribe are gathered here, and those who can buy sulfur soap are definitely strong men with money and force. But when it comes to personal ambitions, Rurik is more willing to go east. Since everyone is a Rus, then fate is to become a real Rus, rather than shrinking to a corner of the Arctic Circle as a city-state, and ultimately still exist as a part of Sweden. Ross, according to the historical development context, she should occupy the entire Eastern Europe. The wheel of history has already begun to operate, and Rurik knew that even if they yelled to go south to counterattack the Gotlans, building a stronghold at the mouth of the Neva River was an impossible decision to change.The tribe has not yet dared to stand up and frankly opposed Otto, there is no such person. They stand here just to take this opportunity to show the leader that young people are eager to make contributions. They were tired from shouting slogans, and their aggrieved emotions were vented by Haosheng. It was like Arik recalled the grief and anger of his father being killed. After the shouting, he felt better. After all, he took his wife Peravina to the tomb of his father Ogier. Those who are willing to buy sulfur soap have already put the baby in their arms. People who just watched the excitement also went back one after another as the evening arrived.Lurik had been put down long ago, watching people leave, and deeply regret that his sulfur soap was not sold out in the first time. He muttered suddenly: "Dad, is the price of three silver coins too high? It really doesn't work, I'll just... try again with two silver coins?""No need." Otto's rough hand covered his son's head. "Just keep it at this price. In my opinion, they are just nervous with money! You think they yelled and asked me to allow them to go south to attack the Gotlandians. What is the purpose?" "It's revenge," Rurik said deliberately. "Bah! Of course it is for money! What do you think of the Gotlanders? They are actually very rich." "Rich? I heard Arik say that those guys are a bunch of fishermen." "It's just a fisherman?" Otto shook his head, and bluntly criticized his nephew's ignorance. "Rurik, do you believe him or believe me? You never imagined that those Gotlanders, who were once half our ally?" "Huh? They are also part of the league?" Rurik was a little surprised."Once they intended to join the alliance, but later, the leaders of the Gotland people respected the Danes as their masters. They gradually became unwilling to do business with us, and gradually became hostile to us under the instigation of those Danes. " "It's actually... so it is." Indeed, in the concept of Rurik, Gotland is part of Sweden. In this era, the Swedish state has not yet formed, and it is still a process of the so-called tribal alliance becoming a formal feudal state, that is, the leader of the strongest tribe will be reasonably upgraded from the leader to the king. Including the Danes are also in this gradual process. Obviously, Denmark is just one step away from upgrading to a feudal kingdom.Through his father's description, Rurik can estimate that the Danes had been wooing the residents of Gotland a long time ago, and now, the Danes have indeed established a stronghold in the Gtaland area. The Danes are using their own force and diplomatic strategies to try to make up a huge group of tribes that speak Norse in the sea. The Danes have the determination to unify the Baltic Sea and are also trying to complete it. When the traditional trade between tribes, with the fall of Rome and the development of shipbuilding, trade between tribes became more frequent. They have actually entered a state of separatism between the princes. Frequent trade and wars are actually a process of integration. Because they want to defeat the commercial enemy, but cannot be defeated by the enemy, the closely-connected tribes must sign a covenant to unite. They are bound to form a larger alliance with each other, and still have to win other small alliances.The rise of the Danes is like this! Because the Gotlanders joined the alliance, the Danish power instantly overwhelmed the Swedes living in the Svealand Plain in the north, that is, the Mind Sub-Union.Rurik has heard more or less that his alliance is competing with the Danes for the southern highlands of Gtaland. It is a rather humid place with a lot of shallow waters and a relatively mild climate nourishes a lot. Of pasture. Unlike the environment where wheat can be grown in the Svealand Plain, Yotaland is a good pasture. There was a group of people grazing here a long time ago, but they are not from Svealand, but from Gotland. The so-called Gotland people are still Gotland people. They graze on a large scale in the high plains, and then transport cattle and sheep to Gotland to market the entire Viking world. The Danes living in Jutland and surrounding islands went north as soon as they completed the unification of their internal tribes. For the Gotland people, compared to the residents of Svealand in the north, Danish talent is their biggest trading partner. The Danes are here.War? Do not! Recognizing that the Danes are the leader is the best choice for making big money. Maybe in the Viking era, Gotland was the center of the entire Viking world. Just because of its geographical location, it is the central position of the Baltic Sea, the inner sea, which in a sense is very similar to the Apennines in the Mediterranean. Departing from Gotland, the ship is not far away in all directions. The islanders raised livestock on land pastures, traditional trade with the Danes, or looted ancient Prussians, Vinland, Poles, and even the Franks in the south. They have accumulated a lot of wealth.The wealthy are happy to hoard silver coins, as long as it is silver, they will not refuse silver coins of various specifications. Elderly people in the Ross tribe know more or less that the Gotlanders who attacked the Ross fleet are wealthy as a whole. If the Minya Alliance can conquer Gotland, not only will they have a lot of wealth, it also means that they can occupy the entire Gotaland. The Mind Subtribe Alliance, which has been suppressed by the Danes for so many years, will rise instantly.So, can the Alliance possess the Gotland? How can it be that simple? ! Otto believes that if the warriors of the entire alliance are assembled, they will fight the Danes in a decisive battle, and their chances of winning are not great. There is no other reason. The other side has more people. In this era, each other is the warriors of the sea in the wilderness. Whoever can assemble more warriors will be the easiest to win. Besides, there is another variable here, the Norwegian in the west of the mountains. The merchants of the Mind Subtribe Alliance can go overland, pass some obstacles in the mountains, and directly trade with the Norwegians overland, but this kind of transaction is far less pleasant than sailing. However, the Alliance and the Gotland have actually become rivals, and the sea route to the ocean has been cut off. The ancestors of the Swedes watched the Danes, the Norwegians, and the Gotland people who followed the Danes and made a fortune in the attacks on Britain and Frank. How could they not feel itchy? The Gotland people are rich and powerful, and it may not be a wise choice to provoke them now.Otto is very old after all, and now he is more willing to pinch the persimmons, not to mention the problems faced by the Ross tribe and allies are indeed different. He can be sure that at least fifty years have passed since the Rus tribe opened up the eastern inland waterway. There is a legend in the ancestors, the so-called: You only need to find a river flowing south or east in those intricate waterways, follow it and you will enter an extremely salty sea, and eventually you will meet the mighty Romans. Roman? Otto himself didn't see it, but not only did the high priest see it, but the long house also has precious Roman sheepskins as evidence.How can Otto change the strategy that the tribe has developed for decades because of the excitement of young people? When he was alive, he had to repair the new stronghold at the mouth of the sea. After he died, his son Ruriek had to inherit the long-cherished wish of his ancestors and continue to expand eastward. As long as it develops from the Roman trade line, why should the Rus tribe still use the attitude of a sub-tribal alliance to help those ineffective allies with the Danes? Although the Gotland people are indeed rich, the young people mentioned the long-cherished wish of looting, and they have expressed it in their own face. Otto knew that they would not understand at this time. For the time being, life in general is still boring. Although it is February, the climate has become slightly warmer, but the sea ice has no meaning to thaw. Young people must not ignore the attack on Gotland Island in the name of revenge for the time being to steal money. After today's events, they will inevitably regard this as an important piece of talk. They have a strong desire to rob gold and silver, individual people or hearts are worried, if everyone gathers together, the sense of fear will be overwhelmed by the desire for wealth. Although they are leaving, Otto guessed that a group of young people would go back to polish their axes and swords. Otto piled up the silver coins he earned. The priests behind the scenes making soap walked out of the long house. Bona and everyone looked at the pile of silver coins and their eyes were straight. "Now is the time to divide the money." Otto turned around, and he faced Bona deliberately. New 81 Chinese network update the fastest computer terminal: https:// "Bona, according to the agreement, of the ninety silver coins earned here, eighteen of them belong to you. Now I will give them to you." "Thank you, great leader!" Bona's heart was beating wildly. Not only did she see so much money, but also because the leader was willing to help the priest sell things. She received the money, not only did she ask: "Chief, I see there are 20 bars of soap. You said that you can sell all the soaps we make." Otto was a little bit troubled: "But they didn't buy it. Bona, I really need to tell you something about soap."In this era, we cannot expect ordinary people to have much economic knowledge. Even the Vikings are more active in thinking than those who have completely degraded to a purely agricultural social life in Western Europe, and they do not understand the concept of "balance of supply and demand". Otto was only very simple to perceive this time. The factor that cannot be sold immediately is particularly simple-the tribe cannot make every small family pay silver coins to buy soap. Otto even suggested: "Maybe, you should suspend production. When I return with people and distribute the wealth, many people will come back to buy soap." But Bona loves silver coins. Only silver coins can bring a better life to the priests who are so-called "no production, no looting, and worship by the tribe." All the priests' faces showed awkwardness, and the deep collapsed wrinkles made them hesitate. They are women after all, and Rurik just can't stand the woman's grievances, and can't help feeling compassionate. All the wealth from selling soap is his own. Rurik gritted his teeth and took out twelve silver coins from the 80% he had allocated and handed it to the grieving Bona himself. "Ruriek, this...""You take it. Just assume that the soap is all sold, Bona, I won't let you lose. You can continue to do it, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, I will directly give you silver coins, as if they are completely Sell it." Bona understood immediately and asked, "Is this all right?""Of course. I will pay you the agreed 20% first, and you don't have to worry about the rest. If I suffer a loss, it's my business. I will never let you receive a loss. Even...even if I do. If you are a leader, your life will be guaranteed!" "Oh! You are such a respectable child!" Having said this, Rurik asked himself, he really looks like a profiteer! It is true that double the profit can make capital betray the conscience, but this is five times the profit! The simple priests still feel that they have made money! Do they really think that their labor is so cheap? ! Money was given to them, and Rurik noticed his father Otto's slight discomfort from the corner of his eyes.Just as the scene was a little embarrassing, just as the priests were smiling, a furry tan fur coat was draped in a tan furry bear coat, the collar was decorated with ferret wool, and the waist belt was hung with a string of gold ornaments The man walked over, and behind him were two more armored warriors as entourage. This person is rich and gorgeous, and he will definitely attract others' attention wherever he goes. Otto noticed this person from the corner of his alert eye. He was particularly alert to those warriors who dressed differently from his tribe, and his big hands were instinctively alert and clinging to the hilt. But the comer is not the enemy. A smile quickly appeared on Otto's face, because the person who came was a wealthy guest businessman, and he really recognized him.
