king of ros

Chapter 107 Reaction of the Parties
Time passed quickly, and three months had passed since the day when Kashin discovered the silver mine. These three months were relatively peaceful, without any conflicts or wars, but one place was developing rapidly and attracting people from all walks of life. square gaze.

And this place is Kashin.

In the past three months, Kashin's original rather crude exploration camp has now turned into a new mining town.

When the news spread and was confirmed, many dignitaries in Northeast Ross immediately sent their teams to participate in the feast to get a share of the action.

This is a silver mine, not those rags in the wilderness!

Rostislav is very happy with their joining. His plan is to attract as many people as possible, speed up the development of the silver mine, and make possible conspirators fearful.

While the prince was developing the silver mine, he also borrowed the favors owed to him by various dignitaries to gather an army from the cities of Ross in the northeast. Captured a large number of Visi slaves.

After the heavy blow to the Weixi tribes, the Kashin area finally stabilized, which made the next construction work more quickly.

In addition to the dignitaries, there are also many peasants, citizens, and even tribal people who come here. They are either bankrupts or speculators, and they come with a heart to make a fortune. Rostislav never refuses them. People who need it like this.

The original wooden walls of Kashin have been demolished, and larger and taller wooden walls have been built outside, while inside the wooden walls are full of tents and shacks, as well as a small number of simple wooden houses, and several blast furnaces for refining silver into hryvnia .

The blast furnace is full of various mining wastes. They are the by-products of refining silver. Most of these things are lead ore, but they can be used as auxiliary materials for making stained glass, so they are also collected.

Some craftsmen wondered why so much lead ore was produced, but no one cared at all. After all, they were still producing silver ore. This was just an after-dinner exchange, and no one took it seriously.

The mine vein has been opened out of the mine pit. There are thousands of miners working here non-stop. Some of them are Ross people, some are Finn slaves, but they all have to work non-stop. Next, the knocked ore will then be sent out of the mine.

The military strength guarding this place is also very exaggerated. The prince has a full 400 personal soldiers stationed here, and other messy armed forces add up to more than 2000 soldiers alone.

Ross soldiers can be seen everywhere here, they are vigilant against all possible enemies, and check the miners to prevent them from entraining ore. The silver mine is of great importance. Everyone knows this very well, so they dare not relax.

Outside of Northeast Ross, in the past three months, the news of the discovery of silver mines in Northeast Ross has been like a whirlwind, spreading throughout the entire Ross, and even outside of Ross, the speed of the spread is staggering.

This is mainly because Rostislav sent messengers to tell the news to all his relatives, not only three uncles, but even King Harald of Norway, King Kazimierz of Poland, King Andrew of Hungary, King Henry of France, who Invite these relatives to participate in this development.

This is the method that Rostislav came up with to control the silver mine in his hands. Since someone may cause trouble, then I will completely confuse the water and introduce so many forces that are enough to make those people throw their hands at them. Looting him also gives more power.

Moreover, Rostislav also directly revealed the scale of the silver mine he knew from the memory of later generations, in order to strengthen the confidence of the princes and nobles to join the development of the silver mine.

The uncles all expressed their blessings to Rostislav, because this represented the increase in Yaroslavich's power, and promised to send people to help develop the silver mine.

The congratulations from the uncles and uncles were sincere. They believed that the strength of Rostislav would make the whole family stronger. They still regarded the family as a whole. Since the strength of the whole part must also make the whole family stronger.

As for the second uncle, even if he has other ideas, he can only follow the trend.

The uncles acted very quickly, directly mobilizing a group of miners from the territory to join in the development of the mine, and Rostislav naturally promised his uncle a corresponding share of production in return.

"God, why do you treat that kid so well."

Under the cross in the Chernihiv church, Svyatoslav said with a melancholy mood.

He felt terrible that Vladimir's child was so lucky. If the child's messenger was right, then the size of the silver mine was enough to make him the most powerful prince in Ross.

In comparison, he only made the nobles in the consular area show their loyalty, but that kid discovered the silver mine, which made him feel unbalanced.

Moreover, this kid was impeccable, just as Rostislav had arranged, the decision of the prince of Moscow to introduce a large number of forces made it impossible for the second uncle to intervene.

If Rostislav did it by himself, the second uncle could use the help of the nearest elders as an excuse to "help" Rostislav, but now that he has pulled all the elders in, he can't help himself.

However, the second uncle is not someone who can't think of a way. After adjusting his mood, he called out an attendant.

"Take this letter and message to the great city of Volga."

"Yes."

--------

Except for the three uncles, the rest of the relatives reacted differently.

Some people responded indifferently, such as Henry in France. France is too far away from Eastern Europe. Henry went hunting in Fontainebleau after reading it. Aunt Anna replied a rather gentle letter to his nephew, adding a few Dispensable gold and silver jewelry to congratulate him on his discovery.

Some people reacted with excitement, such as Harald of Norway. The Ruthless One got the news on the battlefield. He was very happy with Rostislav's discovery. The king immediately sent people to give his nephew more help.

At the same time, it is also to dig for silver. The Harald War has been going on for so long, and the more silver is always the better.

Some people simply sent people to get a share of the action. This is Kazimierz from Poland and Andrew from Hungary. However, this dispatch is not only to obtain benefits, they also need to send out some troubles in the court.

In this way, Northeast Ross suddenly became the center of the vortex, and forces from all sides poured into this land. Northeast Ross, a land that no one cares about, has now become the center of the situation because of the discovery of silver mines.

And behind all of this, there is a figure in the east who is looking at the situation, weighing the gains and losses, thinking whether to use the cruelest means, even if it is to become the enemy of the kingdoms...
