Chapter 334 Princely Layout
Then there is Vanigo, who represents the entire guild area, which means that Rostislav has to reward the entire guild area.

The prince's reward is to allow the guild area to expand, and give them the vacant block next door, doubling the size of this country within a country.

As for Vanigo himself, Rostislav gave many privileges to the master of the blacksmith guild, including cheaper purchase of raw materials, unconditional access to the Bulgar market for goods, and a monopoly on the sale of goods, etc.

But here the Prince of Moscow played a game of words, that is, these privileges only came into effect when Vanigo was the leader of the guild area.

In other words, if the guild area wants to continue to enjoy these privileges that allow them to gain more benefits, then they must support Vanigo as their leader.

And the Merians are well-known princely eagle dogs, which undoubtedly further deepened the prince's control over the guild.

After these three is Yang. For this old comrade-in-arms who saved the situation, the prince of Moscow is also very generous. He added three cities and the land of its affiliated villages to Yang at one time. After this wave of seals, Yang Undoubtedly became the strongest land aristocrat in Northeast Ross.

However, since Yang has always been not interested in managing real estate, these areas are still managed by the princes, so nothing has changed, that is, Yang has obtained some resources and can raise more soldiers.

Yang seemed to have little interest in these rewards. Obviously, he was also unhappy about Lev's matter. Rostislav was not worried, and Yang would figure it out sooner or later.

The following rewards are not worth talking about, and after completing these rewards, then the next step is punishment.

The one who bears the brunt is naturally Leo. He has always been the target of everyone's attacks. After all, people dare not blame the prince, so they can only blame Leo, the executioner.

Moreover, Leo was very slow in responding to the changes in the Moscow countryside, completely ignoring the undercurrents in the countryside. As a bureaucrat, he was very unqualified.

And in the process of expropriating materials, a lot of corruption did occur, which greatly deteriorated the image of the Moscow government.

However, the prince of Moscow's punishment for Leo was very soft. He only cut off his position as the mayor of Moscow, but he actually acted as the mayor of Moscow, and his scope of power was further expanded, because Anwar is still in Bulgaria. Executive assisted Adam's rule, so the government affairs of the entire Northeast Ross were entrusted to him.

On the contrary, many of the Greek fellow countrymen below him have suffered, especially among the newcomers. Some of them plan to flee back to Constantinople in order to squeeze money in Northeast Ross, so This has resulted in high taxation in some areas.

For such a phenomenon, Rostislav would not tolerate it, so these people were hung in a cage at the gate of Moscow.

These cages are specially made, and the interior is full of spikes. The tortured can only straighten their backs, otherwise they will be stabbed bloody, and then they will either die of hunger and thirst under the watchful eyes of the people coming and going, or simply die. Crashed to death on the spikes.

This scene is enough to make many people applaud, and the news of cooperation and tax exemption for one year can relieve the dissatisfaction of most people.

The rewards and punishments are over, so the next step is to compensate the damaged ones. Although this incident did not have much impact on the foundation of the Muscovite princes, it caused many walled city owners and nobles to lose their territories and families directly, and became A pauper with nothing.

For these people, Rostislav assigned new people to them. For this reason, the Prince of Moscow could only transfer the ownership of some villages in the directly administered territory to them in exchange for their service.

This is the essence of the feudal relationship. Obligations and rights are relative. If Rostislav wants to obtain soldiers, he must defend their vested interests. If there is no effort, there will be no return.

However, there are still many walled city owners who choose to take money from the prince of Moscow, and then go to rebuild the territory to recruit farmers, because Rostislav’s land is not taken for nothing. If they take the land from the prince, they basically have no chance to expand their territory. Perhaps, the Prince of Moscow does not allow them to do this, and it is impossible to become a great nobleman in the future.

This group of people is more self-motivated, and they don't want their offspring to be just low-level nobles and wealthy landowners in the countryside.

Others planned to leave Moscow with money. They didn’t want to stay in Moscow anymore, and the Prince of Moscow didn’t force him to stay. That’s not interesting.

The Prince of Moscow also dispatched a special strike team to the countryside. Their targets were the gangsters running around in Northeast Russia. Rostislav planned to use these gangsters as a way to train soldiers and let some recruits see blood.

Villages were also organized and militias were formed to protect their homes and roads, but most importantly they informed the crusades of bandit operations.

Also in terms of the church, Rostislav decided to increase investment in the church, especially support for the construction of monasteries.

A strong monastery is a fortress, a nail set into a sea of ​​paganism, and a center for the spread of Christianity.

Anyway, recently he has obtained so many manpower from Greece, and he just uses these people.

For example, in this chaos, the place where the monastery is located is obviously more stable, and the local people are less interested in the rebellion. Some people even captured the pagan cadres who came to instigate, and then twisted them to the officials of the prince.

The Ilarion Monastery also mobilized Christians to protect themselves under the command of the former Metropolitan, and repelled several gangs. They also took the initiative to defeat the main force of the Eye Gouging Gang.

Anyway, at last, under Rostislav's series of operations, Northeast Ross once again stabilized.

And with the stability, the prince can also take care of his own family affairs.

The first is to reward Zoe. This time, Zoe's calmness helped her husband defend the territory, preventing the worst thing from happening, and allowing the princely regime to survive the most difficult period.

As for how to reward, how else can husband and wife reward?And the hard work during this time made Rostislav very sure that he would soon have a third child.

The news of the prince's wife's pregnancy undoubtedly swept away the haze caused by the rebellion and chaos in Moscow. Finally, with Zoe's pregnancy, Moscow finally returned to its former peace.

Then Rostislav continued to write books, continue to conceive his stories, and amuse the children, and life finally became a little more leisurely.

But some things cannot be restored. Outside the walls of Moscow, outside the walls of the northeastern Rus cities, there are organized gangs in the countryside, and the fighting between Christians and pagans has suddenly become fierce.

There were even more reports of attacks sent to the Prince of Moscow, but they were only to the extent that Rostislav frowned and scratched his head. Although these fights were more intense than in the past, they were just small fights after all. That's all.

In this way, Northeast Ross continued to move forward, but all of this was more blood than before.
