The reindeer captured in the Karelian war last year were basically transported to Novi Rosberg this winter.

Numerous deserted beaches on both sides of the Neva River are covered with snow, making them excellent places for deer herding in winter.

Governor Conusson took on this task. The biggest job of the deer herders he assigned was to keep the deer from getting lost. The task was really simple, and the benefits obtained from it were not small.

There are nearly 3,000 deer of various ages, and legally they are Rurik's property. Hundreds of other deer were the trophies of the warriors, and their situation was varied.

Some deer were slaughtered long ago, their skins were sold, and their meat entered the stomachs of soldiers.

Some deer were bought by residents and used as animal power for pulling sleds in winter and two-wheelers in summer.

More than 50 deer were bought directly by old Harald with silver. The old soldier Rus, the deer owner, needed silver coins but was not good at raising deer, so he took out silver coins and led the deer back home happily.

They are inferior to the ponies in animal power, better than nothing.

Old Harald was forced to emigrate to New Roseburg with a batch of family wealth. Because his beautiful daughter married General Ross, the fate of being murdered was gone, and a batch of property was kept in gold and silver. Careers can also recover quickly in the New World.

The Rus were the attackers, and now the family is part of the Rus.

So does old Harald have no hatred in his heart? If the Ross army hadn't attacked Gotland, he would still be doing well on the island.

hatred? What's the use of hate.

The disputes between the Gotlanders and the Svealans have been bad debts for hundreds of years, but he never imagined that the Russ among the Svealans were so strong.

Now everything is clear, the reason why the Ruth people are strong is that they have stepped out of the cramped land under the leadership of the hero and began to expand, just like a bear that has been hibernating for a long time and has jumped out of the cave to find food.

In personal contact with Rurik, Prince of Rus, he concluded that this son was far superior to other Viking chiefs. Many noble people only care about the happiness of themselves and their families, but Rurik is not. This son is a tyrant to the outside world, but a saint to the inside. He is a contradictory person.

Now that the grandson has been born and Gustav can walk, this kid is half-Russian by blood, and the inheritance is indeed the name of the Krorev family.

There are people in the family, not to mention this kid is the nephew of Prince Ross.

Gotland had died out, and the Sweden of Ross and Svealand had also been divided. Old Harald felt that he must be buried on the banks of the Neva River, at least before he died, he could see the revival of the family.

The family's best leather production and trading jobs are expanding, and the newly opened mill work is a new way to make money.

For the mill to expand, more animals are needed to drive more stone mill movements. However, simply processing flour will also earn a labor fee. Even if the flour is made into pancakes, isn't it a labor fee? This is the work of small profits but quick turnover, and big money can only be made by relying on the advantages of scale.

There are thousands of residents in New Roseburg, and the customers of Pancake Bread are mainly hunters and fishermen. They buy high-quality dry food for emergency needs. If they think that the dry food they make at home is enough, they will not buy more.

Therefore, the biggest order still comes from the army.

Old Harald didn't say anything on the surface, but he still felt that his daughter's operation of a mill was a waste of money-making efficiency. If the Duke of Ross did not go on an expedition that day, the business of the mill would be sluggish. Although this is unlikely, how do they judge when the Ross army will expedition?

Unless there is a strict cost control, start from the food production process, such as getting your own fields and hiring people to farm the land as landlords.

Old Harald and Aslaqi both needed farmland, and they both disclosed to Rurik, and they were indeed eager to move.

Is it only possible to grow wheat in farmland? How can there be money to grow cash crops for wheat? There are not many family members and servants, and the food supply in New Roseburg is also normal. If the family lacks food, they can buy it with money. The limited energy and material resources should be invested in high value-added industries.

In order to become rich in a short period of time, Aslaqi has the motive of taking risks, and can invest heavily and wait for a big fortune in the future.

They had the capital to take risks and unique cards, and Aslaqi decided that Rurik would not sit back and watch his family become poor. If the eldest nephew Gustav had a bad life, he would definitely help.

Besides, the relocation of the Krorev family here is simply an order from Rurik, and the existence of the family itself has a special meaning for Ross.

The family shouldered a special responsibility, so when Rurik sent a messenger to ask old Harald and the Aslaqi father and daughter to come to the palace for a meeting, the father and daughter used their toes to think and guess what it was.

After all, the people in Ostara have been talking about finding a land buyer these days. After all, there are people watching the show everywhere, and no one can come up with a huge sum of money in one go.

In fact, old Harald couldn't take out sixty pounds of silver coins in one go, just because he and his daughter were gambling fate. Gold and silver were turned into real goods and real estate, and the last liquid funds were recently exchanged with Rurik. There are still some gold and silver reserves at home, but they cannot pay for this huge amount of land.

Asraki took her father's arm, and neither of them were accompanied nor needed. Even the request for Arik to accompany Peravina was declined.

There were some guards standing outside the palace, and the huge Harvest Square was still covered with snow, and the sun was very dazzling here.

The air is no longer frigid and the time for the world to thaw is not far off.

A huge sleigh team and a large number of reindeer will be relocated to Novgorod, and Novgorod, which has been bustling all winter, will return to her summer tranquility, unless the army is assembled again.

The father and daughter entered the hall of the palace calmly. Rurik was not summoning them in the more suitable "Ros Duma" parliamentary court to show his attitude. Second, this was indeed a small meeting attended by top Russian nobles. Secrets don't need to be known by others.

Carlotta had come first, sitting casually sideways. Rurik also crossed his legs indifferently, and when he saw the old Harald and his daughter entering the room, he extended his hand to signal.

Old Harald sat down panting, and he was still very cautious: "Sir, there must be an important event to invite the old man to discuss."

"It's really a big deal. I'm not being polite, your father and daughter are both here, let me say it! It's about the Ostara people selling about ten hectares of their farmland. I hope your family, as the buyer, will buy it in one go. Down."

This was explained suddenly, and the father and daughter were ecstatic when they heard it, but the two old business foxes showed extremely indifference on their faces.

As a result, Carlotta couldn't sit still.

"Please, you must buy our land! The Ostarans want to build new homes in new places, and we need a fortune as a start-up capital. We have almost nothing but this cultivated land."

It was a buyer's market, and Rurik wasn't surprised that Carlotta would be so respectful to her clients, but she just didn't expect her to be so urgent.

Asraqi looked at Carlotta and then at Rurik, at a loss for a while.

Rurik can add: "That's it, she wants to sell the land, you sell the land, I think it will be a good thing for both of you."

Aslaqi looked at her father with more eyes, and the eyes clearly pointed out: the good girl is all up to you.

With her father's hint, she became more courageous: "Buy land? Yes. At least I need to know the price."

The price had been spread long ago, and Aslaki knew this. It turned out, as those rumors had been told, sixty pounds of silver, or six pounds of gold. The female leader of Ostara, Carlotta, personally confirmed the price that could not be negotiated.

"What do you think?" Carlotta asked.

"Can."

"That's great!" Carlotta sat up straight with excitement, and a smile appeared on Rurik's face.

"But!" Aslaqi glanced at Rurik from the corner of her eyes, and said solemnly: "To be honest, I have no cash on hand. Since the prince has set a silver coin for ten pounds of oats, I can pay for this with oats. A payment?"

"That's okay too."

"Oh? Since that's all right, what about finished leather and cloth? Sister Carlotta, what you want is sixty pounds of silver! It's nothing for the prince, but it's a lot of money for us merchants. . Converting it into wheat is 60,000 pounds, enough for a big ship to carry!"

For a while, Carlotta was stunned, and she didn't know what the sister wanted to do.

In fact, Rurik was also a little confused. He guessed something, but he couldn't say it.

"Aslaqi!" Rurik raised his head and asked, "Don't betray me. Since you promised her, she will hand over the land, and you will take out money or the equivalent in kind. What do you want?"

Aslaki looked regretful: "Sir. I can take out the equivalent goods, but the oats you promised have not been shipped to my warehouse. In fact, my family does not have the ability to load 60,000 pounds of wheat in one go. The granary. As for the silver coins, they have probably been turned into leather. There are also many silver coins as remuneration, which are paid to the construction workers. Besides, I took out the equivalent goods, and I don't think Carlotta has the ability to take them all, even if he takes them. Now, do they really know how to trade and sell leather?"

Can't understand it at all! What is this woman trying to do?

Carlotta felt as if she had been distracted, and also felt that her brain was not smart enough.

Rurik understood her hint: the payment could be deferred, or more money could be paid.

The transaction mode of deferred payment is not unfamiliar to Rurik. In the era of large e-commerce, delayed payment by customers is the norm. As long as each other trusts each other, and both maintain credibility, or agree on a credibility with some coercive force, the transaction can continue.

Rurik asked directly: "You actually want to delay the payment, right? Aslaki, you definitely mean that."

"Yes! Since the adults have guessed it. Actually..."

"You shouldn't be covering up." Rurik shook his head.

"Okay." Aslaqi seemed to sigh helplessly: "I'm also thinking of Sister Carlotta and her clan. Sixty pounds of silver, if you don't take action, the entire New Rose Fort must be mine. The family has the financial resources to make a move. What I said is true. I have no cash on hand. We are still waiting for the sea to thaw and sell all the goods in hand to realize it. Sister Carlotta chose an inappropriate time point. Sell ​​the land if..."

She began to talk with Carlota one-on-one on conditions: "Give me the land immediately, and when I recover the payment for the goods, I will not only give you the arrears, but also give you additional interest."

"Interest? How much?!" Carlotta asked without thinking.

Seeing that his wife and concubine were too pure and high-quality for this transaction, Rurik couldn't stand it anymore. He slapped his thigh and stopped the only 5% interest rate that Aslaki was about to offer.

"I've decided! 20% interest rate. Aslaki, give her eighty pounds of silver before this year's harvest, not less than one."

"My lord!" Aslagi also ate.

The interest rate is good, and Carlotta immediately made the decision to claim the deal, and then smiled.

Aslaqi was a little confused by the sudden decision, and even though old Harald was watching the play, his face was sullen.

Rurik was still slapping his thighs: "If it wasn't for all my money, I would have bought it, Aslaki, for Ostara and for Ross, please spend a lot of money! In the future, all All Ostarans will miss you."

But Aslaqi only felt a little hypocritical, Rurik and Carlota were very close, they were each other's family, as if today's matter was extortion by their husband and wife.

She gritted her teeth: "Since it is the king's life, I must agree. So we must sign the contract."

Since it is necessary to make a commercial contract, it is absolutely impossible to say it verbally.

The large amount of paper carried from Novgorod immediately highlighted its wonderful effect.

This was the oath between Asrarch and Carlotta, and Rurik was at best a witness.

The document was quickly signed, and the document itself was folded. All of this made Old Harald stunned. He saw the commercial value of it, and even saw that the paper changed his lifestyle.

Isn't it a hassle to make a written oath? To engrave on a suitable plank, the plank must be carefully prepared, and then the thick plank must be well preserved. Old Harald had also heard of the noble material of parchment as the carrier of the contract, and it was done by the Franks in the far south, but the value of parchment itself was astonishing.

Therefore, many businessmen do not like to make a written contract, and there is indeed a serious trouble in carrying the carrier materials of the contract. A large number of commercial activities often involve the inability to obtain money in a timely manner, which also naturally leads to the business of lending.

A commercial contract relies on the oral statement of both parties, which is too maneuverable. Once both parties misunderstand the contract, conflicts will arise. The ambiguity of the verbal contract sparked the aftermath of fights over issues of ownership of money and goods, and old Harald saw too much in the Viking business environment of Old Gotland.

The Port of Visby was in ruins, and new Swedish settlers replaced the old Gotlanders to establish new settlements.

Old Harald has nothing to do there, but business is business. The Russ and the Swedes have the same or even stronger business atmosphere here. Now the paper brought by the prince of Rus makes it easy to sign the written contract. This thing is simply for Born for business!

His pattern is really small, but the depth of what he sees is also more than that of ordinary businessmen.

In nature, the land transaction between Asraki and Carlotta was significant. Maharaja Rurik had no property rights to these farmlands, and he followed the transaction as an arbiter and certifier throughout the process.

Nearly ten hectares of farmland has become the private property of the old Harald family, and whether wheat or other cash crops are grown on it, or even abandoned, is theoretically the family's own business.

But here is Ross, and Rurik will not allow the land to be left untouched. The ten hectares of land is huge, and even if Aslaqi owns the land, she can't help planting anything.

Carlotta was very satisfied with this transaction. When the wealth equivalent to eighty pounds of silver became the property of the Ostara, the tribe would rely on it to develop rapidly. Aslaki didn't really have to wait until the goods were sold to pay back the money in silver coins. She would first pay the grain equivalent to twenty pounds of silver coins as the first payment, and the last payment of the subsequent sixty pounds of silver coins must be in cash.

The two women were satisfied with each other, and Rurik spoke again: "Asraki, you have land now. This is a large-scale land transaction that I approved, and your actions created a history for Rose. Come on, say, What are you going to plant on your newly acquired fields?"

"Probably the wheat." Aslaqi knew that Rurik would have something to say, and the answer was full of temptation.

"Not good. You don't want to plant wheat. I ordered you to plant flax stalks."

"Why flax? Simply making cloth?"

"Not only that." Rurik sighed softly: "In my opinion, the banks of the Neva River in Novolaosburg are still not suitable for growing wheat. It is suitable to grow some flax, ramie, and hemp. Since your family is When I was in Gotland, I was good at leather processing, and the processed leather is to make clothes. Since it is ultimately to make clothes, isn't it profitable to make linen? Listen!"

"Yes."

Rurik's face was serious: "I allowed your family's revival, and I also need your family's revival. I want you to plant flax on a large scale, because my fleet needs a lot of hemp rope and cloth, and my ship-borne weapons need hemp. The torque of the rope. How much money can you make by simply planting wheat and then grinding it into powder? You grow all flax, and I will charge you as much as you like, and the price will cover your satisfaction. For this reason, I am willing to sign a futures contract with you immediately ."

The prince was using his power to lead a transaction, and Asraki knew that everything about her family was in the hands of this man. As the saying goes, there is no love for no reason. As smart as she is, she knows that the purpose of the prince is to support a big obedient businessman in the East, so as to avoid the dominance of the Gould family, a big businessman in the West.

No, a flax futures contract was quickly signed, and Rurik decided to use the price of flax rods at the Melalenbirka market last summer as a guide price to purchase the expected output of Asraki's land this year. Flax rod is an economic crop, it seems that its only use is to make cloth, and its special properties limit its sales. If there is no super buyer like Rurik, it is true that ten hectares of land will be planted, and in the end, blood will be lost.

Therefore, this paper contract has advanced significance across the era. If a wealthy businessman suddenly jumps out and wants to buy this contract, Rurik may increase the price and sell it and cash it out immediately.

If there is a nesting doll-style purchase around this contract, and selling the contract alone is a means of cashing out, isn’t this a typical futures transaction? The essence of tulip mania is that a group of merchants negotiate a written contract around the right to purchase special tulip bulbs, trading against the contract itself.

Fortunately, there is no businessman who is richer than Rurik trying to do this in the Principality of Rus. It is undeniable that this contract has opened up a situation in nature, and the Principality of Rus has begun to give birth to the soil for futures trading.

Now that there is a written contract, there is no possibility of Rurik-sama breaking the contract in Aslaki's mind. She calculated that she would make a lot of money this year by planting flax poles, and it would continue to do so year after year.

Signing two contracts in one day, the three parties can get their own benefits, not only can they make a lot of money this year, but also have great positive significance for each other's future.

It's a win-win contract.
