king of ros

Chapter 460
Rostislav's return journey was also specially designed. He took the huge Ross fleet and the Gotland warships left as spoils of war, and visited a series of towns that had recently joined the Free Trade Alliance, expressing his commitment to the leader. presence.

Then he felt an obvious change in people's attitudes. Many people were literally licking his boots now, and various preferential treatments came one after another, which made Rostislav very satisfied. He initially felt the feeling of being the overlord, and he was very satisfied with this feeling.

After these visits, Rostislav returned to Ivangorod, to Rus.

Then Rostislav embarked on the road back to his hometown. The Grand Duke of Ross, who had won a major victory in the Baltic Sea, didn't have any intention of hiding it—but this matter had spread—he sent envoys to Ross was everywhere declaring his great victory.

The poets praised Rostislav's victory in the Baltic Sea, and those who returned rich also proved the truth of the news, and Rostislav's power was once again strengthened.

It was also under such a blatant gesture that Rostislav returned to Kyiv, his capital.

In Kyiv, the prince was treated like a hero, because he brought a huge amount of spoils to display in front of the public, boasting of his martial arts and abilities. The victory excited the citizens of Kyiv, because at this time the prince will be on the streets Sprinkle money.

A carnival was held in Kyiv that night, which was also a custom after the war, but what Rostislav did not expect was that Rurik would actually raise objections to this.

"Father, I don't understand why we want to send all the money to the soldiers and civilians. The result of giving them all the money is that the price of goods is soaring and the lives of the poor are more difficult. Father, the money should not be spent more than it should be. A place to spend it? Like the city wall in Kyiv, didn’t you always want to turn it into a brick wall? We have too many places that need money.”

Rostislav was taken aback by Rurik's words. He didn't expect the child to think so much. He was so surprised that he even put down the wine glass in his hand.

It seems that being the head of the family during this period of time really made him understand, which really made Rostislav very pleased. This kid thinks so much at this age, which shows that he is completely a piece of ruling material, and the Grand Duke of Kyiv is quite excited.

As for these ideas, they came from Rurik during this year's rule. During this year, he did a lot of work and had a deep understanding of the difficulties of his father's business, so he came up with such suggestions.

After Rostislav got excited, he had to start explaining to his son, "Rurik, I know what you said, but people need carnival, the army is driven by money, even the emperors of Rome We can’t change these, so what can we, Rose, do? Son, I know what you think, but remember, this world is not a completely rational world, and the pursuit of absolute rationality is fruitless.”

Rostislav's words silenced Rurik, the prince thought for a while, and then he was persuaded by Rostislav, "Father, I understand."

Then Rurik backed away, and Rostislav picked up the wine glass, just as Zoe came over.

"Our son is a ruler, and he will definitely be a very good ruler in the future."

Rusty sighed, and Zoe froze for a moment, then a proud smile appeared on his face, "Of course, he is our son."

"Yes, our son. By the way, where are Volorida and Vasiliko?"

Rostislav asked about his other two sons, who were not with Zoe now.

"Volorida is having a heated fight with the children of Northern Ross. He is like a king of children, and he is probably leading them to play war games. As for Vasiliko, he is taking his little sister Kosenia. "

Zoe's answer made Rostislav a little dissatisfied. This dissatisfaction was mainly aimed at that kid Vasiliko. Compared with his two older brothers, this kid was withdrawn and quiet. play together.

This is not what a Rurik prince should look like. If this child wants to achieve something in the future—survival, to put it bluntly—he must make changes.

However, Vasiliko felt very strange to Rostislav. The Grand Duke of Kyiv could feel that this child knew a lot of things, and he had listened to those educations, but he still did not change after all.

Zoe could see the change in her husband's expression. He knew that Rostislav was dissatisfied with that quiet son, "I will educate Vasiliko, he will definitely not do what he does now."

These words did not satisfy Rostislav, because he knew that if his wife treated the children weakly, he would definitely not do anything, and most of the things had to be figured out by the child himself.

"Forget it, you can deal with Vasilko's affairs, I'll talk to him again, he can no longer behave like a girl, and there is one more thing I have to tell you today, Volorida should go to battle. "

These words instantly chilled the atmosphere between the couple, even though there was still a scene of feasting nearby, it was still the same.

"Where are you going to send him?"

Zooey sighed, and then asked, she knew she couldn't stop her husband from sending the child to battle, the only thing she could do was ask where the child went back.

"Rurik will go to Pereyaslav after today to continue the task of guarding the grassland. Volorida will practice under his command for a period of time. Our friend Saru will definitely continue to harass you. Everywhere."

Rostislav drank the red wine in his hand, the expression on his face did not change without those words.

"And then the war came together, and Volorida was thrown into the fiercest part of the battlefield? Like Jan did to Rurik? And don't tell me anything about this motherfucker."

The meaning in the wife's tone was very intense, and the accusation was already very obvious. Zoe didn't mind sending her son to the battlefield, but she sent her son to the place where the battle was fiercest in the first battle. Rostislav, do you want to kill your son?

Zoe was terrified when she thought about the great battle back then, and this made Rostislav feel a little uneasy.

"As a Rurik prince, it's better to experience this early." He just said coldly, "Just like me back then, they are much luckier than me at this age, Zoe, Volo Rida, and Vasilko three years later, they all have to go through this."

Zoe didn't refute, didn't answer, an atmosphere of helplessness spread between the two of them, and bitterness appeared on Rostislav's face, but so what?

In this era, if you don't go through battle, how can you survive?
