Next is Vanigo, Vanigo represents the entire guild area, which means that Rostislav has to reward the entire guild area.
The prince's reward was to allow the guild area to expand and give them the vacant block next door, doubling the area of this country within a country.
As for Vanigo himself, Rostislav gave many privileges to the masters of the blacksmith guild, including cheaper purchase of raw materials, unconditional access to the Bulgar market for goods, monopoly rights on the sale of goods, etc.
But here the Muscovite prince played a game of words, that is, these privileges only took effect when Vanigo was the leader of the guild district.
In other words, if the guild area wants to continue to enjoy these privileges that allow them to gain more benefits, they must support Vanigo as their leader.
The Merians are also famous as princes and eagle dogs, which undoubtedly further deepens the prince's control over the guild.
After these three is Yang. For this old comrade who saved the situation, the prince of Moscow was also very generous. He added three cities and the land of their affiliated villages to Yang at once. After this wave of seals, Yang
Undoubtedly, he became the strongest land aristocracy in Northeastern Rus.
However, since Yang has never been interested in managing real estate, these areas are actually still managed by the princes, so nothing has changed. It is just that Yang has gained more resources and can raise more soldiers.
Jan showed little interest in these rewards, and it was obvious that he was unhappy about Lev's matter. Rostislav was not worried, as Jan would figure it out sooner or later.
The rewards that follow are not worth mentioning, and after completing these rewards, the next step is punishment.
The first person to bear the brunt is naturally Leo. He has always been the target of everyone's attack. After all, people dare not accuse the prince, so they can only blame Leo, the Greek guy who executed it.
Moreover, Leo was very slow to respond to the changes in the Moscow countryside and was completely unaware of the undercurrents in the countryside. As a bureaucrat, he was very unqualified.
Moreover, a large amount of corruption did occur during the collection of materials, which greatly worsened the image of the Moscow government.
However, the prince of Moscow punished Leo very softly. He only removed his position as mayor of Moscow, but actually acted as mayor, and his scope of authority was further expanded, because Anwar is still in Bulgaria.
He assisted Adam in his rule, so the government affairs of the entire Northeast Rus were entrusted to him.
On the contrary, many of his Greek compatriots were embarrassed, especially among the newcomers. Some of them planned to squeeze money from Northeastern Rus and then find a way to escape back to Constantinople. Therefore,
This has resulted in high taxes in some areas.
Rostislav would never tolerate such a phenomenon, so these people were hung in cages at the gate of Moscow.
These cages are all specially made, and the interior is covered with spikes. The victims can only straighten their backs, otherwise they will be stabbed to death. Then they will either starve to death in front of the people coming and going, or die of thirst.
Killed on the spikes.
This scene is enough to make many people applaud, and the news of cooperation and tax exemption for one year can relieve most people of their inner dissatisfaction.
After the rewards and punishments are over, the next step is to compensate the damaged ones. Although this incident did not have much impact on the foundation of the Moscow princes, it caused many city lords and nobles to lose their territories and families and become
A pauper with nothing.
For these people, Rostislav assigned them new people, for which the Moscow prince could only hand over to them the ownership of some villages in the demesne in exchange for their service.
This is the essence of feudal relations. Obligations and rights are relative. If Rostislav wants to obtain soldiers, he must protect their vested interests. If there is no effort, there will be no reward.
However, there are still many city owners who choose to take money from the prince of Moscow, and then rebuild their territory to recruit farmers, because Rostislav's land is not free. If they take the land from the prince, they basically have no way to expand their territory.
Perhaps, the Prince of Moscow would not allow them to do this, and it would be impossible for them to become a great noble in the future.
This group of people are more ambitious. They don't want their descendants to be just grassroots aristocrats and rich people in the countryside.
Others planned to take money and leave Moscow. They no longer wanted to stay in Moscow, but the Moscow prince did not force them to stay. It would be meaningless.
The Prince of Moscow also dispatched a special strike team to the countryside. Their target was the gangs that were roaming in Northeastern Russia. Rostislav planned to use these gangs as a way to train troops and let some new recruits see blood.
Each village has also been organized and formed a militia to protect their hometown and roads, but their most important thing is to inform the expedition team about the gang's actions.
Also in terms of the church, Rostislav decided to increase investment in the church, especially support for the construction of monasteries.
A strong monastery was a fortress, a nail embedded in the sea of paganism, and a center for the spread of Christianity.
Anyway, he has recently acquired so many manpower from Greece, and he can just make use of these people.
For example, during this chaos, the place where the monastery was located was obviously more stable, and the local people were less interested in rebellion. Some people even captured the instigating pagan cadres and handed them over to the prince's officials.
Hilarion Monastery also mobilized Christians to protect themselves under the command of the former metropolitan, repelling several gangs. They also took the initiative to defeat the main force of the Eye Gouging Gang.
Anyway, finally, thanks to a series of operations by Rostislav, Northeastern Rus became stable again.
And with the stability, the princes could also take care of their own household affairs.
The first is to reward Zoe. This time, Zoe's calmness helped her husband to defend the territory and did not let the worst happen, allowing the princely regime to survive the most difficult period.
As for how to reward, how else can a husband and wife be rewarded? And the hard work during this period of time made Rostislav very sure that he would have a third child soon.
The news of the pregnancy of the prince's wife undoubtedly swept away the haze caused by rebellion and chaos in Moscow. Finally, with Zoe's pregnancy, Moscow finally returned to its former peace.
Then Rostislav began to continue writing books, continue to conceive his stories, and amuse the children. Life finally became a little more leisurely.
But some things cannot be restored. Outside the city walls of Moscow and the city walls of Northeastern Rus' cities, there are organized gang activities in the countryside, and the fighting between Christians and pagans has suddenly become fierce.
There were even more attack reports sent to the prince of Moscow, but they only made Rostislav frown and scratch his head. Although these fightings were more intense than in the past, they were only small fights after all.
That's all.
In this way, Northeastern Ross continues to move forward, but all of this involves more blood than in the past.
