Chapter 520 Ross Trivia
Rostislav and Ori talked for a long time, and the two sides mainly had a more detailed discussion on various details of assistance, such as financial support, ship assistance and the like.

And Grand Duke Ross can also provide a very important thing, that is the sea chart to Vinland, since the example of Provav becoming a noble in one fell swoop through the exploration of Vinland, and now managing Gotland in the center of the Baltic Sea, these years There were also two waves of adventurers going to Vinland to come to Rostislav to receive the reward, and they brought the charts recorded on the way to Vinland.

With the sea chart, the risk of going to Vinland can be greatly reduced.

But the most important thing is that Rostislav asked Ori to set up a landing monument after they arrived in Vinland, and the top of the monument must have Rostislav's name on it, indicating his contribution to this pioneering operation. important role played by it.

Ori naturally agreed with all his heart. What Rostislav wanted was worth nothing compared to what he paid, so there was no reason for him not to agree.

After negotiating the conditions, Ori took the document signed by Rostislav and prepared it with satisfaction. The supplies provided by Rostislav far exceeded his expectations, and he also promised to give Ori’s immigrants The team provides another 200 people to make up a total of [-].

As for how to make it together, Rostislav directly waved his hand and asked Kyiv to buy two hundred slaves and let them sign a contract to give them the status of free people. As a price for obtaining this status, they must go to Vinland to colonize.

But after all, the Vinland matter was just an episode among many things in Rostislav, and Rostislav quickly put it behind him, because he knew that if he wanted to get news about this colonial team, at least It will be five years later.

Now Rostislav is concerned about the expedition. This time, Rostislav did not go out in person as usual, but entrusted the task to his second son, Volorida Rostislavich.

Volorida has almost healed from his injuries during this time, and he is still brooding about his indiscriminate disaster in the north, and he always wants to take revenge again and let those Danes learn a lesson.

So he has been reporting to Rostislav, hoping that his father will allow him to lead the army, and Grand Duke Ross considers that Volorida is not young and has a lot of experience in combat, so Just let him go.

This war against Denmark was originally an advantageous situation. Now the Danish army is being suppressed in the port, and the allies of the Free Trade Alliance are suppressing it to death, so it is okay to let the son let go.

However, just to be on the safe side, Rostislav still recruited two experienced veterans to assist his son, one is Edward Wessex, and the other is Meshko.

Among the many generals under Rostislav, these two are the few grand dukes who can safely hand over their descendants. There used to be Jan in this category, but since he threw Rurik into the After going inside the most intense meat grinder, after Zoe's anger, Rostislav had to promise that he would never let Jan bring his son.

On the day when Volorida left with the fleet, Ivangorod was quite lively. Many people wanted to send their families to the expedition, so the entire port was much more noisy than usual.

This expedition is a fleet of [-] ships. Since there are too many ships, the port cannot accommodate so many ships, so the soldiers board the ships in batches, and then the ships leave the port, and then other ships come to pick up the rest. The person who got off, so cycled until the last person got on the boat.

As the commander of the fleet, Volorida's ships naturally have separate berths, and his car is the Vladimir, so Rostislav was able to chat with his son for a long time. Grand Duke Ross told his son a lot of what he summarized on the battlefield Speaking from experience, except that Volorida has always been impatient.

For Volorida, he had quite a lot of experience in war, so there was no need for his father to tell him like this, as if it was his first time in battle.

When he was about to board the ship and leave, Rostislav specifically told his son to listen to Edward and Myshko, but although the boy agreed verbally, he knew he didn't take the matter to heart from his perfunctory appearance.

Seeing this, Rostislav had to be thankful for his foresight, just to prevent this from happening, so Edward's authority in the army was no less than that of Volodya, so if this kid did something stupid, Edward can remedy in time.

However, this is a last resort. Rostislav doesn't really think that there will be any major incidents in this expedition, but such means are necessary.

After the departure of Volorida's fleet, Ivangorod calmed down again, the port city returned to its former appearance, and Rostislav planned to leave here, first to Novgorod and then to Moscow Check it out and finally back to Kyiv.

Rostislav's trip was not just to visit Russia, the most important thing was to find a husband for his daughter.

This year is already 1087, and Cosenia is already 15 years old. Now that there is no hope for a foreign groom, he can only find a groom for his daughter from China.

After all, if Kosenia does not marry again, it will be really difficult to get married after the marriageable age has passed, so Rostislav can only relax his standards and carefully inspect the noble boys from all over Ross.

Before starting the parade, Rostislav spread the news, so nobles brought their sons everywhere along his way to meet Rostislav.

People value this opportunity to become the son-in-law of the Grand Duke of Kyiv, which means a class leap, and even the son of the lowest city walled lord can become the task of the core of Rus's power.

It's just a pity that along the way, almost no one can fall into Rostislav's eyes.

Because the threshold was lowered, Rostislav raised the standard very high. Illiteracy is definitely not acceptable, and incompetence in warfare is definitely not acceptable, and not being loyal and honest is definitely not acceptable... The result is a series of conditions in Rostislav. Under the screening, no one can meet the standard.

Most of the sons of the nobles of Ross are guys whose heads are full of muscles. Rostislav is enough to see these people, how could he let them be his son-in-law, how could he let such a person enter the core of Ross's power.

So Rostislav got nothing but disappointment or disappointment. When he finally returned to Kyiv, he was full of resentment, but just when he thought he couldn't pick a suitable husband for his daughter, it fell in front of him instead.

At that time Rostislav was in Chernihiv, visiting his old friend Jan, and talking to him about his troubles.

Yang has changed a lot over the years. The biggest change is that his whole person has become stable and gentle. This is an emotion that was completely insulated from him. Chernihiv under his rule is also gentle and calm.

While the two old friends were drinking and getting drunk in the castle of Chernihiv, when Rostislav complained to the old friend that his daughter could not find a husband, Jan was also a bachelor at this time, and directly said that his son was When it comes to marriage and age, he is very suitable.

And it was these words that changed Rostislav's memory. Really, why did he forget Jan's son instead.

Over the years, Jan's son Gregory has been serving in Kyiv's prince's personal army. It can be said that Rostislav watched him grow up. He is a very knowledgeable and good at battle. Disislav liked it. In Rostislav's heart, he almost regarded this young man as his family.

It was also because of this view that Rostislav subconsciously didn't think of this young man, but now after Yang's reminder, Rostislav immediately remembered that it would be good for this boy to be his son-in-law.
