king of ros

Chapter 461 Finally Completed
"Father, mother, please don't send me off, I will definitely return with the spoils."

Outside Kyiv, the grand duke and his wife saw off their son, Volorida Rostislavich, who was already about the height of his brother, full of vigor and vitality.

And he was much more popular than his older brother, who was always taciturn and quietly went about his duties, as you can see from the young people around him.

Zoe was still somewhat reluctant to leave his son, but he didn't say much after all, because this is what this era should look like, and going to battle is what every ruler should do.

"Go, my son, and build your exploits on the frontier."

Rostislav encouraged his son, and after a final salute to his parents with his older brother, Volorida set off on his way.

Seeing the back of his son leaving, Rostislav felt a little worried in his heart. He spent a long time with his three sons, and he knew the relationship between the three brothers and their respective personalities very well.

The characteristics of Rurik and Vasilko are that they pursue stability and are unwilling to take risks. Vasilko has even developed to be a little withdrawn and attaches great importance to the relationship with his relatives. Therefore, Rostislav has never worried about them. In the future, they will definitely be able to Get along very well.

But Vololigo is a very strong kid, he will definitely take what he wants, and he is much more outgoing than his two introverted brothers.

Although the child also attaches great importance to family affection, Rostislav is very worried about whether he will do anything in the future because of his character traits.

Rostislav's concerns are not groundless. As a Rus resident with a rich history of brotherly struggles, it is very likely that the influence of this aspect will continue among his sons.

But now it is still too far away from those things, and the relationship between the children is still very strong. This is something that Rostislav is grateful for. He still has time to correct the child.

And he had another thought, didn't Volorida like to fight?Then when he was about the same age, Rostislav sent him to the place where he needed to deal with complicated relationships, and let the boy vent his energy.

Vasilico stood beside his father on horseback. The child was still taciturn as usual, and looked a little shy.

This made Rostislav sigh subconsciously, it won't work if this continues, why does this kid still act like a little girl.

But Rostislav really has no good solution. He has already confirmed that this kid is not ignorant, but refuses to change. It seems that he can only hope that age can change him.

After seeing off his son, Rostislav returned to Kyiv, sat back on the throne of the Vladimir Palace, and continued his rule over Rus.

However, he really doesn't have many things to deal with. After all, everything about Ross is on the right track, and he just needs to follow the rules.

After completing the most important approvals, the rest will be done by the following people. The Kyiv court is already on the right track, enough to help the prince deal with most things, those infrastructure constructions that have been promoted in Northeast Ross, such as building The mill and everything are proceeding in an orderly manner.

In terms of foreign affairs, this period of time was also calm, and the only unexpected thing was the visit of King Solomon of Hungary, who was ousted from the throne by his cousin Geza in 1073.

But Rostislav has no intention of participating in Hungarian affairs. Ross has no interest in that land. The most important thing for Ross is to maintain peace with Hungary, and the current King Geza is indeed exuding goodwill towards Ross.

However, due to the relationship by marriage (although it is a bit far away), Rostislav took in the former Hungarian king and gave him a generous annuity.

However, through this person, Rostislav heard the news of a person who surprised him. This person is Ghergi, the Arpad who impressed him deeply during Rostislav's trip to Hungary. illegitimate child.

The illegitimate son's rebellion has undoubtedly failed completely, but he is not dead, and he took some people to the south to serve as mercenaries for that empire.

Rostislav had a feeling that he might hear about this "old friend" again in the future... and the Hungarian episode ended here for the time being.

After dealing with this little matter, Rostislav went on to a task which was almost finished, namely writing.

"The Road to the West Sea" has been written in the final stage, and he will be able to finish the book in a while. Rostislav attaches great importance to this matter, and he spends all his spare time on this book.

"The Road to the West Sea" describes a Christian who, after a wonderful experience, went to the American world set by Rostislav, where he toured the world and met various characters. Then participated in the turbulent tide of the times, as a bystander, recorded these stories about bravery and betrayal, death and new life.

To be honest, if it was in his previous life, then his story was really old-fashioned to the extreme, and no one would be interested, but now it is 1074, and the story that seems to be extremely old-fashioned to future generations is unprecedented in this era. What about literary masterpieces?

And Rostislav finally finished the book. When he finished writing the last word, Rostislav couldn't help but burst into tears. After spending so much energy, preparing for so long, and conceiving for so long, he finally wrote this work. Take it out.

Rostislav immediately ordered the printing workshop in Kyiv to print the book with all his strength, and when the book was put on the market, it did receive a lot of praise, especially among the intellectuals in Rus. Appetite them.

It's just a pity that Ross's cultural group is still too small after all. The feedback received and the gold and silver earned by Rostislav are not very impressive, and it can only be said that they barely lose money.

And Rostislav knew this too, so he continued to work overtime, and his work was not for anything else, but to compile the Greek version of "The Road to the Western Sea".

In this era, if one can find a large enough group of intellectuals, then only the imperial capital, and only with the approval of the imperial capital, can his works become popular works in the entire Christian world, and then gain almost eternal fame .
