king of ros

Chapter 239
As for why the king summoned Rostislav?
That is of course a reward.

There is no doubt that Rostislav is the one who saved the city. If he hadn't decisively summoned the army, defeated the enemy, and curbed the evil conspiracy of the heretics, then everyone would be finished.

Fechshwar will be reduced to ruins, every part of this great city dedicated to God will be desecrated, evil will spread in this land, and all kinds of horrible things will happen...

Therefore, for Bella as the master, Rostislav must reward, and it is a big reward.

After all, someone helped you put out the fire when your house caught fire, and pulled you out of the fire who was almost burned to death. You should be grateful anyway.

What's more, King Bella will start a large-scale encirclement and suppression of heretics in the future, and the Germans have an old saying that if Rostislav does not reward jewels and swords, then how can others serve.

So when he entered the audience room of the palace and met King Bella alone, Rostislav was shocked by the large boxes filled with gold, silver coins and gems and jewelry in front of him.

Moreover, these gold and silver coins included several kinds of currencies. Rostislav even saw coins minted by the imperial capital hundreds of years ago, as well as some coins minted by unknown Central Asian princes, and even copper coins from the East.

I'm afraid it didn't pull out all the things at the bottom of the press box, but what are you doing, King Bella?

Coupled with King Bella's always tense face, Rostislav was really confused for a while, completely confused.

What is this, what is this?

Rostislav heaved a sigh of relief until King Bella explained why. It turned out that it was to thank him, so he didn't make it clear.

At the beginning, he was given such a few big boxes full of gold and silver, and then there were a bunch of burly men next to him. I don't know if he thought this was to buy Rostislav's life.

But what Rostislav didn't know was that King Bella had indeed pulled out all the old books that were at the bottom of the box.

He even did not hesitate to pry open the tombs of the ancestors of his Arpad family and took out all the funerary objects inside, so Rostislav was able to see so many ancient coins.

After all, the Magyars used to rob all over the place, and it is normal to collect so many ancient coins.

Of course, the tomb of St. Stephen is naturally not dared to dig it up. He was a great figure who led Hungary to convert to Christ.

But the ancestors before him were not just picked up casually, they were all pagans, and they were picked up as soon as they were picked up, and he, as a descendant, can also ensure that the bones of the ancestors are intact and avoid being offended.

And not only from the Arpad family, as long as they are pagan nobles, Bella's people dare to secretly dig out the gold and silver inside.

All of this was done in secret, so few people knew about it, and Bella's Christian subordinates had no psychological pressure on digging up the graves of pagans, and they worked very hard.

And it didn't just take away completely. When Bella won the war in the future, he just put the gold and silver back, and he would put more.

So except for Rostislav, many high-ranking governors of the Magyar state received these ancient gold and silver, and everyone's allegiance to the king has increased so much.

At the same time, everyone's attitude towards the always stern-faced king has improved a lot. Although he is always stern-faced, the money he gives out is really money.

Bella is also a wild animal who doesn't care. He would rather spend his last penny digging up his ancestors' graves and try his best to collect the scraps. He wants everyone to feel his generosity, and generosity can help him Bring troops, bring loyalty.

And these problems are not a problem if the war is won, and they can be solved easily. As for losing the war, is it still a problem that everyone died...

For these gold and silver Rostislavs naturally accepted it with a smile. His Moscow prince needed money, a lot of money. He needed money to develop Moscow, and he needed money to develop Northeast Russia.

King Bella also asked Rostislav what else he wanted, as long as it was within his ability.

And Rostislav wanted only one thing.

--------

"Rostislav, you really want to gather immigrants all the time, and King Bella said he can do anything, so you want this?"

Yang looked back at the queue of Magyar civilians behind him. These people either walked or led horses, and most of them led horses.

Then he couldn't help saying to Rostislav that his lord and friend were really too keen on pulling people.

Rostislav only smiled at Jan's speech.

"Northeast Ross needs people. I can't just continue to pull people, and these people are Christians, which are much more credible than those pagans in Northeast Ross. As for why I only need this, it's because I only need this , Yang, in many cases it’s enough to achieve a certain level, and you can’t be too greedy.”

What Rostislav wanted from King Bela was the right to recruit immigrants to fill the vast land of Northeast Rus.

The Hungarian king naturally agreed to this. Isn't it just immigration? This is completely a favor.

And by the king's order, Rostislav pulled many people to go to Ross with him, and most of these people were Christians.

As for why these Christians ran away with Rostislav, it was because Fechshwar's riots frightened them, and this military disaster caused many people to go bankrupt, and now they only have this body.

And right now a big war with the heretics is about to start again, and I don't know how many troubles and military disasters there will be. Under the influence of many parties, they chose to follow Rostislav and go to Rus to seek life.

Speaking of pagans, recently Rostislav heard the news that that guy Zheerji recently raised his army in the name of the greatness of "reviving the pagan era".

The Arpad bloodline added a lot of points to him, attracting many pagans to join the army, and many nobles and chiefs who missed the old times also chose to join, and after a while of sweeping, the army was formed.

Even some state governors are eager to join this army of "recovering the old faith".

And Janos has regrouped and assembled his army again.

Now that there are two pagan armies in Hungary, it seems that King Bella will have to fight the next civil war.

And just as Rostislav and Yang were discussing the affairs of Hungary and chatting about the possible direction of the civil war, suddenly a man hurriedly came to Rostislav on horseback.

There were several riders behind him, and that man was Edward Wessex.

At this moment, Edward's face no longer had the usual smile and leisure, but only seriousness and a trace of embarrassment.

This made Rostislav a little curious, he rarely saw this person showing such an expression, and then his attention was attracted by the people behind Edward.

Those people all had shawls and long hair, wore striped tops, and their clothes had a northern style, but they were different from North, and obviously had their own style.

Rostislav always felt that he had seen such a style somewhere, and just as he was thinking hard, Edward spoke.

"Lord Rostislav, I have come to say goodbye."

kindness?What did I hear?You want to say goodbye?

Edward what are you doing?How long has it been since you guys returned to the team? Are you going to leave again?
Of course, Rostislav was not stupid enough to say this directly.

"Edward the Confessor of England has no heirs. The council of wise men called me back after obtaining the king's consent to become the heir to the throne, so that after the death of the king, he can inherit the throne of England and become the king of Anglo-Saxon, so as to prevent the illegitimate son from Normandy from stealing the throne."

Ah, how could I have forgotten this matter, which is obviously so important.

Edward and his son are the last males of the Wessex family, the first heirs to the English throne for sure!
More importantly, if he returns to England, the big event he will participate in next will be very important and more famous.

Norman Conquest!
