king of ros

Chapter 197

When Rostislav's team advanced, it was so powerful that it couldn't help but attract people's attention.

What caused this huge momentum was not because of the huge team of Rostislav himself. After all, even with the addition of military servants, the prince's team was only six hundred.

The main reason is that those caravans that are attracted here have a very rare opportunity to travel with the prince, which means that the road can basically guarantee safety, so there are more and more caravans.

The prosperity of Moscow over the years has attracted many caravans, all of whom are attracted by the goods produced in Moscow.

However, because the production of many guilds in Moscow is often difficult to match the needs of caravans, many caravans are here waiting for their orders to be completed, so there is such a scene. A few days is not a problem.

There are also pilgrims from the Northeast Ross who also followed the princely team. Their goal is to go to Kyiv for pilgrimage. After all, it is the cathedral of the Ross Church and their spiritual capital. There is redemption for any crime committed under the dome.

For these pilgrims, it is safest to follow the prince's team, after all, most of them are poor and white.

Leading this huge team forward, Rostislav's speed will naturally not be fast, but he has plenty of time, so that he can take these folk teams full, and this is also an opportunity to show his power.

And when such a team camps, the scene is like an army camping. Countless tents are covered with the ground visible to the naked eye. The flora and fauna were swept away.

And there are still people joining this team. After all, it is safe to walk with the big team at any time.

Rose's wilderness has never been safe, after all, who knows if those villages and tribes will suddenly appear as robbers.

Who knows what happened in the wilderness except those who have experienced it? The villages are closed, and the villages and tribes are still separated from each other most of the time.

Rostislav's entourage was getting bigger and bigger, and the prince of Moscow couldn't help but think of the same scene when his grandfather traveled from Novo to Kyiv many years ago. At that time, his grandfather was the leader of all these.

And now such a scene is happening around him, he is the leader of this team, this makes Rostislav feel something, this thing is called power, and it feels really great to use power to manipulate the world.

But he didn't indulge in it for too long, what's the point of thinking about it when he's okay?It doesn't make sense at all, it's better to conceive a novel honestly.

Yes, a novel, Rostislav has now decided to start working on a novel, one that will endow him with immortality.

He had considered this matter for a long time, and shortly after embarking on the road to the south, he made a thorough decision.

This is Rostislav's ambition. He wants to be the author of books that must be read by students in future generations. He wants to become a prominent existence in the history of literature.

This kind of achievement is better than martial arts and martial arts. Rostislav knows that the highest achievement in his life is to unify the land of Kievan Rus and make it a regional power under his rule. Govern over the land handed down.

And if you can make some groundbreaking achievements in literature, being famous all over the world is not a problem at all.

So the prince of Moscow was thinking about how to write his novel when he was free. What he initially settled was a story showing the struggle for power among the nobles.

In this story, he will infiltrate various views appreciated by later generations, such as the appreciation of independent women, and the humanistic care that is extremely rare in this era.

Of course, the most important thing is the innovation of writing structure. As a visitor from later generations, many writing methods that are common in later generations that he has learned are epoch-making innovations in this timeline. All he has to do is to arrange them into his novels .

And conceiving novels can also pass the boredom on the road. After all, every day is either riding a horse or going forward, and the scenery is too much to get used to, so in order to pass the time, I have to find something to do.

Jan and Myshko had a good chat along the way. Jan no longer felt depressed when he set off. After all, he was a young Rostislav, and his heart was full of excitement to see his father again.

As for Myshko, he just finds the crowd amusing. He always wanders around the camp to see the sights. The Pole's previous arrogance and isolation have largely disappeared.

However, not all the sights along the way made Rostislav feel bored, and sometimes Rostislav would be very happy to see some sights, and indulged in those sights.

"Ah, I like the sight of prosperity."

Passing through a field, Rostislav watched the crops being harvested in the endless farmland. The prince felt joy, and he was even more happy when he knew that all these were built by new immigrants who immigrated to Northeast Ross.

Not far away is a hydraulic mill, which is owned by Rostislav. The banner of St. George's dragon slaying, which represents the power of the prince, is flying on the mill. Several families have moved in near the mill.

The miller who managed the mill used to be a soldier under Rostislav's command. After being injured, the prince arranged such a job to support himself.

He was also the prince's authoritative agent in the region, the embodiment of the Moscow government's power in the countryside.

But unfortunately, this is only the role of eyeliner.

With the flow of water, the mill is working tirelessly. The water wheel keeps bringing the water to a high place, and then generates power to turn the mill, just like a diligent mule.

The nearest village is near the mill. This village was built on the road leveled by the order of the prince, and the distance from the mill is at most [-] meters. The buildings in the village have a southern style, and the accent of the villagers also has a southern flavor. It is a very A typical southern immigrant village.

There are many farmers queuing at the mill, and they will hand over part of their grain as payment, and then the mill will grind their grain into flour.

When the prince’s team passed the road across the farmland, many farmers stopped working and stood up from the field, looking at this huge team, the farmers and passers-by who were closer stood on both sides of the road and took off their hats to greet the nobles .

There are also many people with worried eyes. They saw the size of this team and were afraid that if this team trampled on their farmland.

Many people have already started looking for weapons, and some people plan to find more men. If these people trample on their farmland, they will do it directly. Desperately.

However, Rostislav had already made arrangements. The prince would not let the wheat be trampled on, nor would it be stolen. More than half of his followers were sent to carry out this task.

And under the command of so many armored warriors, naturally no one dared to disobey, and they could only honestly line up and walk the road.

"This is a prosperous village, Rostislav, and all this is due to you."

Yang also looked at what the prince saw, and then said that there was no lack of sincere praise in his words.

In Young's view, it was Rostislav's efforts that brought about this prosperity.

This is also the general view of development in this era, everything is the merit of the ruler, but Rostislav has a different view on this.

"Jan, you really know how to flatter me." Rostislav was not interested in flattery, and was even slightly displeased.

"I just gave a little guidance, nothing more, and—that's all."

Rostislav was about to say something, but then he swallowed it, and he wanted to say something about the importance of the peasant, and the fact that the peasant created all this.

But considering that this is an era where plunder and exploitation are taken for granted, his words are really out of place.

What's more, he was a standard exploiter and oppressor, so Rostislav kept his mouth shut. He always felt a little ironic when he said those words, ironic to himself.

Especially when thinking about the content of the novel he planned, the sense of irony is even stronger. He understands that such emotions are redundant and ridiculous (in this era), but such emotions still inevitably appear in his heart from time to time.

And Rostislav is most fortunate that these emotions can only make him feel a little uncomfortable and ashamed, and they can't make him do any stupid things that violate his class. He is not a person dominated by emotions.

The entry of these thoughts made Rostislav a little upset, and he didn't find the harvest scene so gratifying after he was upset.

At this moment, what he thought of was his wife, and a feeling of longing suddenly came to his heart.

Rostislav was nostalgic for his wife's arms and his son's little face. The warmth brought by his family was so attractive at this moment, and he seemed to be leaving the next moment before that attraction.

Rostislav didn't want to leave his small nest in Moscow. He was very satisfied with everything he had built in Moscow. He often thought that it would be nice to spend his whole life in Moscow like this.

But in the end, he still killed this idea of ​​making peace with the situation. For example, during this trip, the prince was very reluctant to leave his wife and children, but the pursuit of ambition still made him embark on the journey.

The matter in Hungary this time is very important, and it is also a springboard for him. It is his first opportunity to perform on the international stage. How could he miss it.
