While Rostislav was still thinking and summarizing the current forces in Russia, summarizing the current situation and related response attitudes, Kiev also began to become lively.
The first people to get up in Kiev are often fishermen. The fishermen go out to fish very early and come back when the sun comes up.
Now that the sun is out, they naturally sell the proceeds in the market, and with the opening of the fish market, the whole city becomes lively.
People engaged in various industries took to the streets noisily, and soon the streets became bustling, and various sounds and languages filled the sky.
Of course, there are many ostentatious people among them, such as those successful immigrants under Rostislav. After all, they were dragged to a banquet when they entered Kiev yesterday, so naturally they can show off today.
For example, right now, Valin is wearing his most gorgeous fur coat, swaggering through the city surrounded by a dozen of his followers. After all, he can now be said to be a real estate aristocrat in Northeastern Russia.
Although Varin lived in the swamp outside Kiev, he also had frequent activities in the city, and now he is going to the place where he often frequented in those years.
He used to live alone in the swamp, where he had no neighbors to show off his current achievements, so he had no choice but to come to the city.
It is an alley dedicated to collecting furs, and it is also a spontaneous leather workshop. You can see it by walking a few dozen steps inside, and outside is the main road of Kiev.
In the past, Valin often brought his prey here to sell. At that time, he was very humble. Many times, he had to look at the faces of the buyers before he could sell the things at a barely reasonable price.
In Kiev, businessmen in these industries have unspoken rules for acquiring each other, and they have thugs to intimidate them, so no one intervenes to disobey their wishes.
Wei Che was not interested in these things. After all, managing this small business would not bring much profit and would offend people.
The Grand Duke cannot even see these things, and even if he does, he pretends that he has not seen them. There are so many things like this in Kiev. Is it possible that the Grand Duke should take care of them all?
What's more, the big bosses behind these businesses are often the powerful people in Kiev, and the Grand Duke will not affect the "small businesses" of the powerful people.
Entering the alley where he had wandered in the past, a familiar pungent smell hit his face. It was the smell of leather treatment. This smell was once very familiar to him and disgusted, but he had to accept it.
The alleys were filled with ragged people, some of whom were only wrapped in tattered furs. They were either busy processing the leather, or bargaining with the buyers for the goods they had brought. The tanners were carrying furs on their shoulders.
Go to his tools.
The entry of a nobleman like Varin, who was surrounded by crowds of people, naturally attracted a lot of attention. People were curious about why such a nobleman walked into this place where the low-class people of Kiev were.
But soon, someone recognized that face.
"Ah? Isn't that Valin? Didn't he die on the battlefield? Why did he come back?"
"Valin? The Valin who disappeared for seven whole years?"
"Yes, that's him. I thought he died somewhere, but now it seems that not only is he not dead, he's also developed."
With such words, the information about Valin's identity quickly spread, and everyone soon remembered that there once was a hunter who came here with furs on his back to sell them. His life was miserable, many times because he didn't understand the trade.
, the furs can’t even be sold for much money.
After he disappeared, everyone assumed that he was dead, and only a few friends knew that he went to Northeastern Rus.
Death is a very common thing. The person you are chatting with today may be gone tomorrow.
But now this "dead man" is back, and he has really changed his life from a shotgun to a cannon. He suddenly became a noble and came back to show off his power.
Friends who had a close relationship with Valin went straight up to say hello after confirming his identity. Valin was also very enthusiastic towards these former friends. He subconsciously reached into his arms and planned to take out a few hryvnias to give to his friends.
But then the movement froze. In such a place where good and bad people are mixed, and where evil forces are rampant, doing this is not helping friends, but harming them.
So he put his hand discreetly into another bag, took out a handful of silver coins and distributed them to several friends. These silver dirham coins were much more inconspicuous than the silver ingots of hryvnia.
The friends were all surprised. They didn't expect that this friend they hadn't seen for a long time would be so generous when he came up to him. They immediately smiled and thanked him profusely. These silver coins were directly comparable to their several months' salary.
As Warin started throwing away money, everyone's eyes suddenly became hot. Whether they knew Warin or not, they all came up to him and pretended to be acquaintances of him, saying hello and asking for money.
Even the gangsters who used to look down upon no one were all smiles. They must be humble when facing such a noble person.
Even those arrogant leather buyers were full of flattery. They were usually as proud as heaven.
But this disgusted Valin, and he still remembered how arrogant these people were, and how they insulted him, but the expression on his face did not change.
Valin's followers quickly blocked the incoming crowd, and Valin was also very generous. Looking at that scene, he didn't know how happy he was. There was nothing better than being returned home in fine clothes. He sprinkled one after another directly to the crowd.
People also rushed to grab silver coins.
While people were looting, Warin and his old friends found a place to sit down. They all wanted to know how Warin made his fortune.
This greatly satisfied his vanity, and it was part of his plan and Rostislav's request, so Varin began to talk about his experience of making a fortune in Northeastern Rus'.
As Valin explained, more and more people gathered around to listen, and Valin's rich story had a strong appeal to them.
In his words, Varin described Northeastern Rus as a place full of opportunities, and because of his behavior of spreading money just now, people naturally believed in the credibility of his words.
Looking into the eyes of those people, Varin knew that his mission had been accomplished. This place was full of people struggling on the poverty line in Kiev. When someone pointed out a path to wealth and gave direct examples, people would naturally come forward.
Go and flee.
After Varin finished telling his story, people started asking questions, mainly about the treatment and development of going to Northeastern Rus. After hearing these questions, Varin smiled, and his mission began.
Such scenes are happening all over Kiev. This is Rostislav's plan to let the citizens and farmers living a hard life in Kiev look at their successful neighbors and describe Northeastern Rus as full of opportunities in order to attract
They came to Northeastern Ross.
As for whether they can make a fortune after coming to Northeastern Rus, well, it all depends on them. Anyway, they have better opportunities than in Kiev, and they basically can't leave once they come. The cost of traveling far away is not low in this era.
Under the influence of Rostislav's "propagandas", news soon spread throughout Kiev that he was going to Northeastern Rus' to make a fortune. This made Kiev quite turbulent for a moment, and people's hearts were a little unstable.
Those who did not go to Northeastern Rus' with the prince's immigration team now regret it. These people could have joined Rostislav's immigration team, but they refused. As a result, people have become rich now, but they continue to be poor.
, now that the opportunity has fallen in front of me, I naturally don’t want to miss it.
Even some wealthy citizens want to leave. Due to the strict tax policy of the Grand Duke of Kiev, many wealthy people feel uncomfortable and want to leave Kiev to try their luck elsewhere.
Some people had already started clamoring to follow the prince back to Northeastern Rus', but at this time Rostislav was not busy recruiting people.
He still has a lot of work in the south. It is not appropriate to recruit people so early. It is better to keep them hanging. As time goes by, more and more immigrants will be attracted.
What's more, he came to Kiev to go to Hungary. He was about to leave for the country of Magyar.
