"Well, go ahead, don't be too impatient when doing things, this matter will take a long time." Rostislav couldn't help but warned his son a few more words, "Well, after all, we still lack the ability to interfere in that land."
Rostislav's sigh was on point. Faced with Monomakh's career, to be honest, there was too little he could do. He didn't even have a point where he could invest his efforts. He could only essentially sit back and watch.
developed.
Rurik just nodded silently, and then continued to retreat silently. This was his long-standing habit, and he didn't like to talk too much.
Seeing his son retreat, Rostislav also sighed, not that he was lamenting anything, but that he was getting more and more bored.
Next, the Grand Duke of Russia randomly found a few documents from the pile of documents Rurik brought and began to read them. These documents summarized various situations in Russia.
Although Rostislav has pushed out a lot of work, he has also read more documents, and this is one of the main ways he now maintains his power and influence. He has been reading these records and files, and can
Noticing the problem, the people below couldn't fool him with word games.
And Rostislav also likes to read these things, because every time he sees these colors, he feels a strong sense of accomplishment.
It is now 1082, and Rostislav has ruled Rus for 11 years, and these 11 years are enough to show some long-term social relations, which can even be traced back to when Rostislav was the prince of Moscow.
For example, the average living conditions of Ross residents have changed significantly compared to more than ten years ago. According to the data in towns and areas near towns that can be collected now, there is an average of one more salt on the people's dining table.
fish, and there are more kinds of food.
The main reason for this phenomenon is the advancement of salted fish preservation technology. Rostislav has spent so much effort to popularize this technology for this reason. Cheap sea fish and river fish can now be sent to all parts of Russia along the developed waterways of Russia.
, bringing about a general improvement in food intake.
Rostislav has ruled for so many years, and he certainly knows how difficult it is to achieve this, so he is happy and excited for such an achievement. This is a good thing for the people and a good thing for his regime.
Everyone got what they wanted.
In addition, this technology has also supported the Free Trade Alliance. The sale of salted fish is now a cash cow for the Free Trade Alliance. After all, just one Ross can produce salted fish in large quantities. The entire Free Trade Alliance now relies on this salted fish trade to make money.
.
While transshipping salted fish, the Free Trade Alliance is also expanding its hands to other commodities. Now the Free Trade Alliance is steadily moving towards becoming the North Sea-Baltic Sea trade monopoly.
There are many forces with considerable opinions on this. The most notable among them is the Kingdom of Denmark. After all, it controls the key strait between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. This status gave the king great confidence, so the Kingdom of Denmark
Conflicts with the Free Trade Alliance are also increasing.
Rostislav knew that sooner or later the alliance would have to fight a war with the Kingdom of Denmark, but it was obviously not now, as all parties were still testing each other.
After talking about salted fish preservation technology, next we have to mention the impact of Rostislav’s more than ten years of promoting iron farm tools. According to the information collected so far, it seems that the cultivated area of Russian farmers has become widespread.
It has risen a lot, and the three-bed system has become more and more popular.
Although Rostislav did not bring much technological progress, the popularization of tools and advanced farming systems was enough to change a lot and give farmers more things to gain.
The direct result of this is that there are more agricultural products on the market, but there is no situation where the low price of grain hurts farmers and further affects people's production motivation. This is mainly because there is an imperial capital that has been consuming food from Russia during this period, so the land
Reclamation is still increasing steadily.
Of course, of course, the biggest impact on all this is the peace in Russia over the years. Rostislav has always been careful to limit the direct impact of the war outside the borders of Russia. Under the nourishment of global peace, Russia is moving towards
The direction Rostislav wanted.
The name of Rostislav in the country is also changing. In the past ten years, everyone has seen the changes in life. In the past, people always called Rostislav a conqueror, and everyone remembered him.
war, but now, they call him "The Prosperity Builder."
The prosperity of Rus' attracted many immigrants from surrounding areas. Many Poles brought Rus' to escape the civil war, and Rostislav settled them in the cities of Cervin.
Many of the losers from the southern nomads took root on the Kiev frontier, and Rostislav made them serve as border guards.
Many Greeks came for peace, and Rostislav asked them to teach them all the skills they knew from that empire.
Now Rus is so prosperous that many princes and governments have re-amended the law. Rus has changed too much over the years. The original "Russian Code" is no longer enough to cope with this society. Almost every class of society is demanding new laws.
And Rostislav is indeed organizing a legal compilation team. The current preliminary team list includes jurists from the Russian Church, the imperial capital, and representatives of various social classes in Russia. Rostislav wants to leave some laws with great influence to future generations.
Ross is getting better and better. Rostislav hopes that in the future, when people mention Ross, they will feel yearning and fear. Today, these emotions only appear in him.
For this reason, he never lacked strength in the construction of the military system. He must leave to future generations a system that is enough for them to toss - yes, toss. Rostislav's requirements are not high, and he can manage a hundred
Years are enough.
The most important of them are two things, one is to organize the Zhucheng standing army, and the other is to strengthen the military service roster.
The essence of organizing the standing army in Zhucheng is to create a privileged military class in Zhucheng that supports the prince's regime. This class is separated from the people and has a high degree of loyalty to the prince.
As for strengthening the military service roster, Rostislav plans to write this matter into law as a rule, which must be rechecked every four years to ensure that the country has control over its military.
This time the conquest of Constantinople was able to draw so many people, the military service roster played a big role. Officials and envoys from all over Russia passed on the information according to the roster, and then everyone came to gather with weapons. If it had been before
Ross, it is a bit difficult to pass on the information so smoothly.
However, Rostislav also knew that things like the military service roster more or less violated the rights of powerful people everywhere, and they did not want the prince to know the situation so clearly.
Rostislav also had no answer for this. He was not worried about Rurik. With the boy's character, there was no way he would carry out this. But what about Rurik's son? His grandson?
So at this point, it is very likely that we will have to rely on institutional inertia, which is why Rostislav said he hopes it can manage it for a hundred years.
And there is also his division of Rus. Now Rostislav has also figured it out. Due to his efforts, the connections between Rus are now much stronger than in history, but there is no need to count on his sons at that time.
The enfeoffment will be implemented after the two brats from the south come back. They will have to go to various parts of Russia to spread the culture of Kiev and determine the influence of Kiev, but at the same time, it will also cause the local area and Kiev to become increasingly separated.
Of course, if you don't want to do this, then you shouldn't divide the princes, but the direct impact of this is that the concept of Ross may not be popular among the people - the princes have always been the main disseminators of Ross culture - then in the future Ross will
Completely broken.
Therefore, instead of waiting for Russia to split, it is better for him to divide Russia first, prepare for this first, and start to build a three-city system, Kiev-Novgorod-Moscow, using the political and economic connections between them to maintain this
system.
As for how long this system can continue, it depends on his sons and their descendants.
However, Youdao always comes to whatever he wants. Just when Rostislav was thinking about his descendants, a piece of news came.
