Chapter 84 Recruiting Immigrants
The distribution of Rus' land did not affect the lives of ordinary people. After all, for ordinary citizens of Kyiv, no matter who became the Grand Duke, it had no effect on their lives.

The bigwigs in Kyiv are busy for the change of power, while ordinary people continue their peaceful lives. The large amount of spoils brought by the war stimulates the prosperity of the Kyiv market. Soldiers who get gold, silver and livestock always sell and consume.

This prosperity was abnormally contained due to the Great Prison raised by Yaroslav before, but with the calm of the Great Prison and the change of power in Kyiv, the once suppressed prosperity returned with a more violent trend.

But in such a peaceful life, several rumors spread. No one knew where they came from, but they made the citizens and farmers of Kyiv uneasy.

The first rumor was that the Grand Duke's sons wanted to make the peasants who had rebelled in Kyiv pay, to bring them down with blood and fire, even the communes that had handed over their goods and robbers.

This rumor spread in the countryside at an extremely fast speed. After all, although the farmers were extremely crazy that night, as the hormones faded, worries about the prince's liquidation followed.

Many people started to inquire about the news, and some people started to run away. Anyway, Ross was so big that he couldn't go anywhere.

And the second rumor exacerbated this confusion, and even the citizens who didn't care about these things became uneasy, that is, the news of the nomadic invasion.

Under the circumstances that Yaroslav had already defeated the Polovets, such rumors should have been unfounded, but when the news of the looting of houses and the activities of nomadic cavalry came from the outskirts of Kyiv, the citizens were restless again up.

Originally, such rumors should have been stopped immediately, but Kyiv Vicher, who was in charge of grassroots management, was in a semi-paralyzed state due to the chaos caused by the change of prince and prince. He could only maintain the most basic city law and order. If you can't control it at all, you can't do anything else.

As a result, Kyiv once again panicked. The people have already experienced the baptism of chaos, and they don't want to experience this nightmare again.

At this time, when the citizens of Kyiv were worried about possible political turmoil and nomadic invasion, the current prince of Rostov, Rostislav, released the news of recruitment. He was about to go to Northeast Ross to take office. He needed to recruit a group of farmers and The citizens settled in Northeast Ross, and the prince promised land and houses.

This attracted a large number of people to join. After those chaos, Kyiv produced many citizens who were on the verge of bankruptcy or even bankruptcy. For them, it would be better to go to Kiev than to continue to be impoverished in Kyiv or be forced to sell themselves into slavery by those damn Jewish loan sharks. Go for it in the fabled Land of the Queen of the Woods.

There are also some people who are affected by those rumors. They fear that war and turmoil will come again, and these fears have prompted them to join the Rostislav emigration team.

The last few people are pure speculators. They have rich families and don't worry about the possibility of rumors, but out of their desire for prosperity, they choose to follow Rostislav and bet on the prince that he will lead everyone to rich and strong.

And there is also the influence of Zoe's reputation. Zoe's actions in Kiev's suppression of chaos gave her a very good reputation among Kyiv citizens, and many people trusted her name.

So Rostislav's red house was overcrowded for a while. Farmers in rough clothes and well-dressed citizens crowded together and lined up to join the prince's immigration team under the records of the Greek civil servants.

"Attention! Keep order! Don't jump in line!"

Gevalan was walking among the crowd in full armor. This Ross warrior had a serious face. Under the deterrence of this warrior full of battlefield aura, even dishonest citizens and farmers lined up obediently—of course, There is also the role of those personal soldiers with their palms on the hilt.

Regardless of whether people in the queue can read or not, when they see the document, they will be asked to draw circles on two birch bark filled with words, and then the document will be handed over to the signer as a proof of joining the immigration team.

Birch bark is a cheap writing material for Ross. After all, birch trees are everywhere, and you can draw and write on them with a little treatment. It is widely used in Ross, from literacy and painting to family letters and letters.

That's why Rostislav chose it as the signing material for the immigrants. After all, if all parchment paper was used, Rostislav's financial resources would not be able to withstand it at all. The prince's years of writing made him more clear than anyone else. how expensive.

After obtaining the birch bark indicating their identity and representing the agreement, these immigrants can get a sum of money from the financial side of the side after sending their belongings to the designated place of the prince, which is a sufficient amount of hryvnia (understandable For silver), this money is for the departure fee for the immigrants, so that they can purchase the necessary materials.

In order to prevent repeated claims, the prince asked for the help of Kyiv Vicher. These security militiamen know most people on the street, and their presence is enough to prevent most of the fake claims.

Leo is responsible for commanding the clerk and the militia, and all the data must be comprehensively summarized here. The bureaucrat from Constantinople is busy now, but this makes him find some familiar feelings. When I was an official in the imperial capital, I was so busy many times.

But today's queue was suddenly disrupted by a group of Ross soldiers who came running, and those soldiers cleared the crowd, allowing the big men behind them to come to Rostislav's red house.

The headed Prince Ross wore a velvet coat, a black jacket inside, and a fur hat that looked very expensive at first glance, and behind him were Polish knights and Ross's soldiers.

And this person is the current Grand Duke of Kyiv, Rostislav's uncle, Izyaslav Yaroslavich.

Looking at this scene, Guvalan only felt worse. He subconsciously thought that this person was here to ask for a crime. After all, the large-scale recruitment in Kyiv was damaging the new Grand Duke's property.

Many people thought the same as the captain of the personal army, and many people had already run away, lest the fight between the Rurik princes and gods would affect him, these little shrimps.

Izyaslav glanced at everything in front of him with interest, but he didn't say anything, and there was no expression of displeasure on his face. He just rode his horse to his nephew's red house.

Leo, who was in charge of registration and statistics, immediately put down his work and non-stop came to the Grand Duke, bowed respectfully to the Grand Duke, and asked him why he came.

And Izyaslav's answer was very simple.

"I'm here to see my nephew."
