The Rise of Iceland

　　　　 After more than a week of deliberation and revision, the final version of "The Herut Family" is released.

　　 After the book was written, Amiye urged other pastors and teachers of the church to transcribed seven or eight copies, and then gave them to elders in Dagang and other areas.

　　 Within a week, the story of "The Herut Family" was first circulated among Protestants, and then slowly publicized.

　　 After another week, the story of the Herut family has become the hottest topic for most people in Iceland, and it has become more and more popular.

At the beginning of the seventeenth century, Iceland had a population of only 50,000 to 60,000, and it has not changed much for many years. The large area and the lack of migration and flow of people have caused information to be blocked. Therefore, the previous year I learned that King Christian IV of Denmark represented the Protestant Union country. When the war against the Holy Roman Empire was launched, this important news has been discussed by the people of Iceland for more than two years.

　　 But in late July and early August of 1627, the story of the Herut family became another topic in Iceland that surpassed the great war in Europe, and it was talked about, and its influence grew.

　　 Many Icelanders have gone to visit Hadar in the village of Herut in the white hazel forest, wanting to learn about the real legendary heroes Herut, Odin, the descendants of Little Herut and the brother of the explorer Hagrid.

Hadar was a little proud at first, and slowly rushed to get bored, but Olaf told him that before the court meeting, every Icelander who came to the village must have a good impression of the Herut family, so as to accumulate. Word of mouth.

　　Hadard therefore became more and more enthusiastic about every Icelander who came to the village. After leaving, every Icelander who came to the village would praise the heroic descendant Hadar for his boldness, kindness, lofty and mighty power.

Many people who were suspicious of the story of the Herut family believed that when Hadar was more than six feet tall, they believed most of them. After all, the 1.9-meter big man lacked resources in this era, and the local marriage and marriage era in Iceland is already A rare giant, it can be said that the entire Icelandic population of more than 50,000, Hadar's height is already 80% ahead of the people.

The leaders that Hadar had visited before were afraid of the governor’s power and dared not speak for him, but after the price of the Herut family spread throughout Iceland, these leaders changed their tunes and sent their families to tell Hadar that in the next month’s In the court meeting, if the Governor and Siegforth want to re-acquire Hadar's guilt, they will speak for Hadar and will definitely not allow Hadar to be bullied.

　　 Olaf and Hadar's mood changed to lightened, they felt that Siegforth and the governor could no longer deal with them.

　　 Hadar contacted people from various regions in the village every day, some were acquaintances, and some did not know him.

Olaf has become very popular in the church school, because the popularity of "The Hroot Family" in Iceland has brought a huge reputation to Amier. He reciprocated, and he took more care of Olaf, and he has made it clear that Olaf It was his most proud student relationship, and took Olaf to meet several church elders and deacons.

After understanding, Olaf learned that the elder of the church in Dagangbei District, Hongrod, was an aristocrat sent from Copenhagen, Denmark. The family of Hongrod was appointed by Christian IV to be responsible for the affairs of the Danish East India Company. In 1620, it occupied the Taranquiba area of ​​southern India and developed colonial smuggling of tea and sugar. It is currently booming.

Olaf knew that this is the golden age of the great nautical era. Britain, France, the Netherlands, and Denmark are vying to establish the East India Company to establish a stronghold in India. At the same time, Spain is colonizing Central and South America, and Britain and France have just started in North America. A stronghold was established in the Americas.

　　 Olaf has always wanted to keep up with the east wind of maritime colonization and make his family rich. After all, the soul of a modern person cannot bear the boring life in Iceland, lack of materials, and lack of spiritual entertainment.

　　 Olaf also wants to build a career, whether it is to master the power of the army or the money of the merchant ship.

Olaf remembered him after he met Honrod, and planned to let his father buy him some matchlock or musket in private. After all, he was targeted by the governor and the Siegforth family, and Olaf felt that he had nothing in his hand. The gun is too unsafe.

　　 After returning home in Jot’s carriage on Friday night this week, Olaf took an opportunity to tell his father.

Hadar was sitting on a stool wiping his whaling spear, and said with a smile: "Olav, what you said is right. We offended Siegforth. This is very dangerous for us. Before Governor Coleswin leaves Iceland, we will all There is still a crisis of family destruction! Buying some muskets is a means of self-defense, but I am more familiar with businessmen in England, and the arquebuses they sell to me should be cheaper."

"No! Father, you have always had business dealings with merchants in England, so this time you can still trade if you buy or not, but if we don’t take this opportunity, we may not be able to contact Hongrod’s family again! Dad, you may not I know that the East India Company controlled by the Honrod family has five armed merchant ships, which control the tea and sugar business in India and our Denmark, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Although it has not revealed any special features just after opening the route, As far as assets and strength are concerned, they are definitely one of the most powerful forces in Denmark! It will also be an indispensable way for the Kingdom of Denmark to come to money in the future!"

　　 "If we hang up with them, it will be useful in the future! This is an investment, Dad!"

Olaf’s words moved Hadar. He pondered for a moment and said: “I’ll park the boat in the middle of the Shorso River to deal with the boat maggots as you said. I will run one less route this year, but this year our flocks have had a good harvest. , You can also sell one or two hundred mark silver coins, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is enough to discuss business with Hong Luode!"

　　 Hadar left the house the next morning, looking for someone to handle his flock and a few calves.

　　 That night, Hadar brought the sheep merchants to the house to pull sheep, and then the sheep and calves were driven by the merchant to the coast a few miles away to board the ship.

　　 Hadar sat back into the room happily holding a small box of silver coins.

　　Katrin took out the hot food and gave it to Hadar to eat, then took another bottle of wine and opened it to him.

　　 After eating and drinking, Hadar hiccuped and looked at Olaf: "Tomorrow morning, let's go to Elder Hongrod and see how many musket bullets can be bought for our house's one hundred and sixty mark silver coins?"

Catlin just put the two little guys, Half and Gellney to sleep, and walked into the room to see that her husband was a little bit sour at his second son’s words, and snorted coldly, “Hey! You listened to Olaf’s words, when? Can you listen to me too?"

　　 Hadar laughed: "Olav is a child possessed by our ancestor spirits, the hope of the future family, he was born to you, is my good to him the same as my good to you?"

Katrin also laughed: "You are right. All of my children are handsome and tall. You see, Ulav is only 23 years old this year, and he is almost as tall as you. Olaf will also be in the future. As tall and handsome as Ulav!"

　　 "Yes! Half and Gailny will grow up to be big boys and tall beauties!" Hadar was very happy, hugged his wife and said, "We will have some good children in the future!"

　　Katrin gave her husband a blank look, broke away from his sturdy hand, pulled up Olaf, and said, "Go, Olaf, go back to the room and sleep."

　　 Olaf felt that his family was very warm, so he kissed his mother: "Okay, Mom and Dad also go to bed early, good night!"
