The Kingdom of Rus has its own feudal hierarchy, which is not as strict as the Franks.

The most powerful person is the king, and the second level is the prince. The most important title of the King of Ross is the Duke of Ross. Now, in addition to the Duke of Ross and the Duke of Ostara, there are also the dukes in the Mälaren Lake District of Sweden. In addition to Ross

The Duke has strong power, but after all, the other Dukes only have high status, and their limited strength is not commensurate with it.

The third level is the governor of the main settlements. Theoretically, the governor cannot be hereditary, but the current situation is that the second generation governor of each place is the son of the predecessor, which is determined by Rurik himself.

The fourth class is the counts or war chiefs, who are no different from the third class. They control a kingdom territory that is not directly controlled by the king, and are actually guarded by the royal family.

The fifth class is Boyar or Bjorn, which is considered as "squire" and "guardian". It is equivalent to baron and has its own fiefdom.

No one in the cavalry is a coward. Each of them was promised a bright future. The so-called everyone will eventually become a hereditary noble of the same place, with fixed land, followers, and a stable retirement home when they grow old. And I

All his sons were given priority to be incorporated into the standing army.

With great enthusiasm for the future, the cavalry appeared on the northern outskirts of Novgorod with flags with blue stripes on a white background and the tapping of horse hooves.

As soon as they appeared, the working people were like watching gods descending from the earth. They not only watched, but even put down their tools and came to greet them in person. Children even screamed and ran towards the cavalry and cheered.

Spring plowing around Lake Ilmen has begun! Even though a large number of laborers from the expedition have not returned and no one dares to farm, men, women, old and young all go to work, and the whole area is busy.

Novgorod City is a large city built on the basis of White Tree Manor. After rapid development, the population of White Tree Manor continues to expand. The number of men, women, old and children with the origin of this manor has exceeded 10,000. A large number of boys and girls aged five or six have already

As a labor force, they did their best to help their parents, brothers and sisters work in the fields, and provided as much help as possible.

The population of the entire region continues to expand. It seems that after King Rurik began to intend to develop local agriculture, the gods sent blessings so that every year was considered a good year.

As everyone knows, the three major settlements in Novgorod, Mstisk and Youth City have fully popularized the curved plow and columbine and have a high number of them. Rough sowing has been transformed into fine drill sowing, and even some areas of farmland have begun to enjoy irrigation systems.

With the help, grain production capacity will definitely increase.

Once the surplus food increases greatly, all families regardless of ethnic origin will have children.

It is still early to reach the limit of the land carrying capacity of this region! Theoretically, all the flat areas surrounding the huge Ilmen Lake can be transformed into farmland, and then the Volkhov River, Msti River, Lovati River and other rivers can be developed.

The coastal area is also a large area of ​​fertile farmland.

Now there is a trend of southward expansion in this region. Princess Carlotta of Ostara guards the southern gate of the kingdom. It is here that the Lovati River Basin has a milder climate than the northern part of the lake. If Smolensk did not exist

Due to the threat of war, we continued to expand southward along the banks of the Lovati River in the south, which was more suitable for developing fertile farmland.

The farmers have strong subjective initiative, and the complete conquest of Rus has greatly improved the local technological level. The so-called occupiers have an obligation, that is, to make the lives of the occupied people better than before. Of course Rus is not a good person, Slavic people with a huge population

The ethnic group is the strong reserve force of the kingdom. But based on the current situation, how many pure-blooded old Russians will there be in the future?

The North Germanic blood of Old Rus is being diluted. In Mstisk, the largest settlement point of Old Rus, there are a large number of men and women aged 12 or 13 working in the fields. They are of mixed race and can speak Norse.

They also speak the Russian dialect and the Slavic Ilmen dialect. They also received cultural and military education early. These people are the second generation of the Russians. They grew up in the rising era and had good food and housing. None of them were

illiteracy.

Almost all of their fathers went on military expeditions, and some families also learned of the men's death in battle in advance.

Do you want to cry bitterly? If you cry, you should really cry. After crying for a while, you will be fine.

Because their lives will not be severely damaged by this, every old Ross family has its own organization. If the child's father dies in the war, all the boys can inherit the glory of their father who died in the war. The eldest son will be the new head of the family, the second son, the third son, etc.
