The distribution of Russia's territory has not affected the lives of ordinary people. After all, for ordinary citizens of Kiev, no matter who is the Grand Duke, it has no impact on their lives.
The big shots in Kiev were busy with the change of power, while ordinary people continued their peaceful lives. The large amount of spoils brought by the war stimulated the prosperity of the Kiev market. Soldiers who obtained gold, silver and livestock always had to sell and consume them.
Previously, due to the rise of Yaroslav's prison, this prosperity was abnormally curbed, but with the calm of the prison and the change of power in Kiev, the once suppressed prosperity returned with an even more violent force.
But in such a peaceful life, several rumors spread. No one knew where they came from, but they made the citizens and farmers of Kiev uneasy.
The first rumor was that the Grand Duke's sons were going to make the peasants who had rebelled in Kiev pay, bringing them destruction with blood and fire, even the village communities that had surrendered their goods and robbers.
This rumor spread very quickly in the countryside. After all, although the farmers were extremely crazy that night, as the hormones faded, worries about the prince's liquidation followed.
Many people began to inquire about the news, and some people started to prepare to run away. Anyway, Ross was so big that he couldn't go anywhere.
The second rumor aggravated the chaos and made even the citizens who didn't care about these things uneasy, that is, the news of the invasion of nomads.
In the case that Yaroslav had defeated the Polovets, such rumors should not have been true. However, when news of people being looted and the activities of nomadic cavalry came from the outskirts of Kiev, and after the person involved came out and gave his own account, the citizens became restless again.
Got up.
Originally, such rumors should have been stopped immediately, but Kiev Vecher, who was responsible for grassroots management, was in a semi-paralyzed state due to the chaos caused by the change of princes. He could only maintain the most basic city security and maintenance, and things outside the city.
I can't control it at all, and there's nothing else I can do about it.
As a result, Kiev has once again become panicked. The people have already experienced the baptism of chaos, and they do not want to experience such a nightmare experience again.
It was at this time, when the citizens of Kiev were worried about possible political chaos and nomadic invasion, the current prince of Rostov, Rostislav, released the news of recruiting people. He was about to go to Northeastern Rus to take up a post. He needed to recruit a group of farmers and farmers.
The citizens were settled in Northeast Rus, while the prince promised estates and houses.
This attracted a large number of people to join in. After those chaos, Kiev produced many citizens who were on the verge of bankruptcy or even bankruptcy. For them, it was better for them to go there than to continue to be poor in Kiev or be forced into slavery by those damn Jewish loan sharks.
Try the legendary land behind the forest.
There are also some people who were affected by those rumors. They were afraid of war and unrest again, and these worries prompted them to join Rostislav's immigration team.
The last few people are pure speculators. They have rich fortunes and are not worried about the possibility of rumors. But out of the desire for prosperity, they choose to follow Rostislav and bet on this prince that he will lead everyone to the future.
Wealthy and strong.
Moreover, there is also the influence of Zoe's reputation. Zoe's actions in quelling the chaos in Kiev gave her a very good reputation among the citizens of Kiev, and many people trust her name.
As a result, Rostislav's red house was overcrowded for a while. Farmers in coarse clothes and well-dressed citizens crowded together and lined up to join the prince's immigration team under the records of Greek civil servants.

"Attention! Keep order! Don't jump in line!"
Gevalan was walking among the crowd in full armor. This Russian warrior had a serious face. Under the intimidation of this warrior who was full of battlefield atmosphere, even the dishonest citizens and farmers lined up honestly - of course.
There is also the role of those personal soldiers with their palms resting on the hilts of their swords.
Regardless of whether those in line can read or not, when they see the document, they will be asked to circle two pieces of birch bark filled with text, and then a copy of the document will be given to the signer as proof of joining the immigration team.
Birch bark is a cheap writing material in Russia. After all, birch trees are everywhere. With a little processing, you can draw pictures and write on them. It is widely used in Russia, from literacy and drawing to letters home.
That's why Rostislav chose it as the contract material with the immigrants. After all, if all parchments were used, Rostislav's financial resources would not be able to withstand it. The prince's years of writing made him know better than anyone else what parchment is.
How expensive.
After obtaining birch bark, which represents identity and agreement, these immigrants can receive a sum of money from the treasury on one side after delivering their belongings to the place designated by the prince, which is a sufficient amount of hryvnia (understandably
(for silver), this money is used for the departure expenses of the immigrants and for them to purchase necessary supplies.
In order to prevent repeated claims, the prince asked for the help of Kiev Vicher. These militiamen who maintained law and order knew most of the people on the street, and their presence was enough to eliminate most cases of false claims.
Leo is responsible for commanding the clerk and militia, and all data must be comprehensively summarized here. This bureaucrat from Constantinople is now busy, but this allows him to find some familiar feelings.
When I was an official in the imperial capital, I was very busy most of the time.
However, today's queue was suddenly disrupted by a group of Russian soldiers running over. Those soldiers cleared the crowd, allowing the big shots behind them to arrive in front of Rostislav's red house.
The leader of the group, the Prince of Russia, was wearing a velvet coat with a black coat underneath and a very expensive fur hat on his head. Behind him were Polish knights and soldiers of Russia.
And this person is none other than the current Grand Duke of Kiev, Rostislav’s uncle, Ijaslav Yaroslavich.
Gvalan only felt worse when he saw this scene. He subconsciously thought that this person was here to ask for guilt. After all, recruiting people on a large scale in Kiev was damaging the new Grand Duke's industry.
Many people thought the same thing as the captain of the soldiers, and many people had already fled directly to prevent the fight between the gods and princes of Rurik from affecting little shrimps like him.
Ijaslav scanned everything in front of him with interest, but he said nothing, and there was no unhappy expression on his face. He just rode his horse to the front of his nephew's red house.
Leo, who was in charge of registration and statistics, immediately put down his work and came to the Grand Duke without stopping. He bowed respectfully to the Grand Duke and asked about his purpose.
And Ijaslav's answer was very simple.
"I'm here to meet my nephew."
