There is no doubt that Rostislav was the one who saved the city. If he had not decisively summoned the troops, defeated the enemies, and curbed the evil conspiracy of the heretics, everyone would have been doomed.
Fekhshvar will be turned into ruins, every piece of land in this great city dedicated to God will be desecrated, evil will spread in this land, and all kinds of horrible things will happen...
Therefore, for Bela, as the master, Rostislav must reward her, and it should be a big reward.
After all, there was a fire in your house and someone helped you put out the fire and pulled you out after you were almost burned to death in the fire. You should be grateful no matter what.
What's more, King Bela will launch a large-scale siege against heretics next, and the Germans have an old saying, jewels wield swords, if Rostislav doesn't reward them, then how can anyone else do it?
So when he entered the audience room of the palace and met King Bela alone, Rostislav was shocked by the large boxes in front of him filled with gold and silver coins and gemstones and jewelry.
Moreover, these gold and silver coins included several currencies. Rostislav even saw coins minted by the emperors of the imperial capital hundreds of years ago, as well as coins minted by unknown Central Asian princes, and even Eastern copper coins.
I'm afraid you've pulled out everything from the bottom of the box. King Bella, what are you going to do?
Coupled with King Bela's always tense face, Rostislav was really confused for a while and completely confused.
What is this, what is this?
Then it wasn't until King Bela explained why this happened that Rostislav breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that this was to thank him, but he couldn't explain it clearly.
At the beginning, he was given several large boxes filled with gold and silver, and a bunch of burly men next to them. I don't know, I thought they were trying to buy Rostislav's life.
But what Rostislav didn't know was that King Bela had indeed pulled out all the money that was at the bottom of the pile.
He even did not hesitate to pry open the graves of his Arpad family ancestors and take out all the burial objects inside, so Rostislav was able to see so many ancient coins.
After all, the Magyars once raided all over the world, so it is normal to collect so many ancient coins.
Of course, we would not dare to dig up St. Stephen's tomb. He was a great man who led Hungary to convert to Christianity. If he did, it would cause big trouble.
But the ancestors before him were not just picked casually, they were just pagans, and they were picked off as soon as they were picked. Moreover, as a descendant, he could make sure that the bones of his ancestors were intact and avoid being offended.
And not only the Arpad family, but also the pagan nobles, Bella's people dared to secretly dig out the gold and silver inside.
All this was done in secret, so few people knew about it, and Bella's Christian subordinates had no psychological pressure on picking up pagan graves and worked very hard.
And it's not just that they took it away completely. When Bella wins the war in the future, he can just put the gold and silver back, and there will be more.
As a result, in addition to Rostislav, many powerful Magyar governors received these ancient gold and silver, and everyone's allegiance to the king increased more or less.
At the same time, everyone's attitude towards the king who always had a straight face became much better. Although he always had a straight face, he really gave out money when he gave out money.
Bella is also a wild beast who doesn't care. He would rather spend his last penny to dig up the graves of his ancestors and try every means to collect money, so that everyone can feel his generosity, and generosity can benefit him.
Bring troops, bring loyalty.
And if the war is won, these problems will no longer be problems and can be solved easily. As for losing the war and everyone will die, will this still matter...
Rostislav naturally accepted these gold and silver. He, the prince of Moscow, needed money, a lot of money. He needed money to develop Moscow and to develop Northeast Russia.
King Bela also asked Rostislav what else he wanted, as long as it was within his ability, he could do it.
But Rostislav only wanted one thing.
————————
"Rostislav, you really want to recruit immigrants all the time, and King Bela said he can do anything and you want to do this?"
Yang looked back at the queue of Magyar civilians behind him. These people were either walking or leading horses, and most of them were leading horses.
Then he couldn't help but say to Rostislav that his master and friend were really too enthusiastic about attracting people.
Rostislav just smiled at Jan's remarks.
"Northeastern Russia needs people. I can't just keep recruiting people. Moreover, these people are Christians, and they are much more trustworthy than the pagans in Northeastern Russia. As for why I only want this, it's because I only need this.
, Yang, in many cases it’s enough to do it to a certain extent, don’t be too greedy.”
Rostislav asked King Bela for the power to recruit immigrants to fill the vast land of Northeast Rus.
The King of Hungary naturally agreed to this. It was just an immigration, it was just a smooth favor.
With this order from the king, Rostislav attracted many people to go to Rus with him, and most of these people were Christians.
As for why these Christians ran away with Rostislav, it was because the riot in Fekhshvar scared them, and the military disaster caused many people to go bankrupt, and now they only have this body.
Moreover, a war with the pagans is about to begin again. There will be many troubles and disasters in the future. Under the influence of many parties, they chose to follow Rostislav and go to Rus to seek life.
Speaking of pagans, Rostislav recently heard the news that Zergi recently raised an army in the name of "reviving the greatness of the pagan era".
The Apad bloodline added a lot of points to him, attracting many pagans to join the army. Many nobles and chiefs who missed the old times also chose to join, and after a wave of sweeps, the army was formed.
Even some state governors are ready to join this army that wants to "restore the old faith."
Janos has also regrouped and gathered his army again.
Now that there are two pagan armies in Hungary, it seems that King Béla will have to fight the next civil war.
And just as Rostislav and Jan were discussing Hungarian affairs and chatting about the possible direction of the civil war, suddenly a man hurriedly rode in front of Rostislav.
Behind him were several riders, and that man was none other than Edward Wessex.
At this moment, Edward's face no longer had the usual smile and leisurely look, but only seriousness and a hint of embarrassment.
This made Rostislav a little curious. He rarely saw this person showing such an expression, and then his attention was attracted by the people behind Edward.
Those people all had long shawl hair and wore striped tops. Their clothing had a northern style, but it was different from North. They obviously had their own style.
Rostislav always felt that he had seen such a style somewhere, and while he was thinking hard, Edward spoke up.
"Mr. Rostislav, I have come to say goodbye."
Well? What did I hear? You want to say goodbye?
Edward, what are you doing? How long has it been since you returned to the team and you are leaving again?
Of course, Rostislav was not stupid enough to say this directly.
"Edward the Confessor of England has no heir. The Council of Wise Men called me back with the king's consent to become the heir to the throne, so that after the death of the king, I can inherit the throne of England and become the King of the Anglo-Saxons to prevent an illegitimate son from Normandy from stealing the throne."
Ah, how come I forgot about this? It's obviously so important.
Edward and his son are the last male members of the Wessex family and the iron-clad first heirs to the throne of England!
More importantly, if he returns to England, the big events he will participate in next will be very important and more famous.
