290. Hanging the Doge of Venice (with six illustrations)

Since the creation of the "guild system", Oran's vision of the unknown is also full of interests.

The population of the ports in Beihai, the size of the hinterland, and the hot and cold climate, he can respond at the first time.

The concept of the North Sea Trade Network had been mentioned to Hafdan and Guthrum before.

Asked by Lagertha how many commodities can be traded?

Oran blurted out, "The Finnish (Urals) are too far away, according to the history of the Frankish Church, the past data, counting the Germanic people who moved in, about 50,000 to 100,000,

Vast forests and lakes are rich in herbs and furs.

There are a lot of wild animals in the north, and furs such as fox deer can be exported.

I heard that there is also a kind of light stone, which is a gift from the gods, more precious than amber, and the nobles of the castle love it?

The specialties of Sweden and Norway are not too different, wood and salted fish, plus some iron products.

These things circulate through the ports of the 'Baltic'.

Entering the Frank-controlled trade routes between Central Europe and bringing back gold and artefacts.

Import into the land of Western Anza and earn back silver pounds and slaves.

Enter the Slavic trade route to the east, turn east into the steppe, or go south to Junbao.

Beans, furs, precious stones, copper and iron, gold and silver, salt, wood products, if you can make all the power of the sea,

One copper plate, after deducting expenses, can be exchanged for thirty in two years. โ€

Orlan made it clear briefly.

Fifteen times the profit in two years.

As a result, he succeeded in gaining Lagertha's favor.

The tips of the two noses are close to each other, the demon is restless, and the gates of hell are opened.

"I don't want to pay any more taxes to Havedan, and I don't want to obey the orders of the snake eyes, and in the warm summer months, I should have sent a caravan to the land of plenty, instead of picking up a bow and arrows, setting fire to the ship, and sending my dear souls away."

My god-king is the great Odin, and your god is a carpenter, or perhaps they are the same person.

When we go to Heaven or Valhalla, we'll understand all this, you say?"

It was the first time Oran had met a Viking who could talk to him like this.

Chatting with literate people is like a spring breeze.

"You are going to hand over the hostage of Guthrum's son, and I will take care of him, and I will take care of him."

Lagertha was talking about Snow.

Orlan held out his hand, finally pressing down on the woman's shoulder.

The two figures turned into one, and the water of the pond was beaten.

Men conquer women, and women control men......

Later, the two regained their composure,

Lagertha talked about more plans.

"Bjรถrn is now the strongest leader of Sweden, and some people call him the king of Sweden, but before him, there was a group of Swedish warriors, passing through the Gulf of Finland,

They have been operating in the Gulf of Finland, the Gulf of Bothnia for a long time.

The Finns who were fierce and dared to resist came to a miserable end.

Now from the 'Karelian Isthmus' to the 'In'men Plain', there are longhouses of Swedish warriors everywhere.

They are also called Varyags (Sweden),

If you still have a 'yar', or 'magistrate', you can be called a 'prince'.

His name is 'Rurik'.

He's stronger than Bjorn.

He followed and built a new city 'Novgodro'.

The city also blocked the trade routes of the eastern tribes to the castle.

Originally the leader of a small tribe, by luck, he became the king of some of the Finns, Varyags, and Slavs.

His story will be no worse than that of Ranana and his sons. โ€

Rurik?

The last time he brainwashed Halfdan into joining forces with him, he also talked about this person.

What the woman said was a little different from what Hafdan said, but it was generally the same.

But Eastern Europe is too far away and mysterious, and Oran has no ships, so he has no bad intentions about the land here.

But judging by Lagertha's remarks

The first and later generations of kings, who did not want to pay taxes, joined hands with God to develop trade.

These four things are superimposed, and it can be seen that this woman is very thoughtful.

"A piece of terra nullius, whoever occupies it first is his, why can there only be this group of stinky Varyags on the rich and vast eastern plain?"

"You want to set up a stronghold too?"

"I want to rescue the original inhabitants, I will respect the traditions of the inhabitants and take them away from the terrible Rurik."

Under the relaxed influence of the spring pool, the two of them said this and began to "suppress the demon" again.

"Have you seen Rurik?" Oran asked.

"These are the scars that her people left on me, and her bastards robbed me of a lot of goods and killed my sister...... The Arabs, Junbao, and goods from all over West Asia will be able to take these eastern trade routes in the future, and while there is chaos in the local area, you will invest a copper plate, and there will be a hundredfold in the future. โ€

This woman is really capable of circumambulation, and also talks about conquering the lands of the East.

However, there is some truth to her claim.

The whole of Britain, where the climate is now relatively warm, is less than two million people.

The three Scandinavian countries, shrouded by the Arctic Circle, are also not very numerous.

Finland alone, the total number of original inhabitants, it is difficult to say whether there are more than 100,000.

Plus Sweden should also not exceed 400,000?

When the two of them left the fountain again, they each got what they wanted.

Oran decided to cooperate with this woman first, and with the help of her ship, expand the trade circle in the East.

Open a road to "England to Novgodro".

The first goods the two worked on were paper and wool, with a small amount of eagle pounds.

It is necessary to exchange the lands controlled by the Finns and Varyags for gems and furs, etc.

After Lagertha left, it had been two and a half hours since she had just entered.

As she walked along the road, the strong shieldmaiden beside her asked her, "Have you convinced him?"

"I described the East as everything, and said that my sister died, and the man's desire to protect him will be at your disposal."

"I remember the last time I used other leaders to talk about cooperation, it was your brother who died."

The two girls smiled heartily.

In fact, Rurik's people had contact with Lagertha a few times, and they talked very happily.

It's just that the last time, Lagertha teamed up with the aboriginal nobles who were suppressed by Rurik at that time, and wanted to kill people and sell goods, which caused her to be hindered by the new trade route with the East.

On her own, she would not be able to contend with this group of Varyags.

For this reason, she released a lot of news about the wealth of the East in the Dan people and even the Viking world, wanting to trigger a fierce battle, the great expedition of King Keragna, and the big and small wars have been fought for more than three years.

In a few years, Rurik, which continues to develop, will not be able to compete with itself.

Lagertha is gone, and Oran has a new idea.

He told Ulf that he still had the paperwork with him.

"In my family history, in the history of Protestantism, in the history of England, from this day onwards I will record about Novgodro, that we exported goods, and that we were also loyal to the local chiefs, and that we also sent tribute."

Falsification of jurisprudence?

Ulf was stunned, how could he hit such a far away!

But he forgot that there was such a thing as a crusader, just as Charlemagne launched a great expedition to scare the Saxons at once.

As long as someone takes the lead, there is a strong business motivation.

The North Sea Crusaders may one day be able to snatch it up,

Aren't these places "the property of God since time immemorial?"

Needless to say, great conspiracies always start from a small place.

Oran thought, maybe one day, he will be able to hang the 'Doge of Venice' or even the 'Emperor of the Castle'?
