The Rise of Iceland

　　　　 When Olaf caught up with Half and Gailny, the two had already reached three scattered lakes in the northern part of Groot, slowing down and waiting for his brother to catch up.

The gray horse under Half's seat was still whistling his nose, neighing and flicking his tail, looking very lively, but the white reindeer under Gellney's **** was a little sluggish, his mouth and nose flowed out of white sticky foam, and kept panting. Rough, obviously tired.

　　 "Olav, let's play!" Half looked at his second brother provocatively and said.

Olaf knows that these lakes are filled with trout and salmon. They taste good, but they are not easy to catch. If you choose to fish, the river fish and lake fish on Vinland Island are obviously far inferior to the dense cod and cod in the fishing grounds off the island. Herring, plaice, etc. are easy to catch.

　　 It's just that Olaf and Half are purely for fun, so they don't care about the difficulty.

The two brothers each cut a stout branch with good hardness from the tree by the lake, and then cut one end into a sharp thorn. This is a tool for thorn fish. In rivers, lakes and seas, they choose to use stones to block the weirs in gentle areas, and then slowly release the water. In this way, a pond with more fish and less water is formed, and then the spearfish can be launched.

　　Icelanders don’t know this method, nor do other Europeans. Even the Beotuk people in Vinland have learned their craft from the Ekismo, which is considered to be a fishing technique that has been passed down for thousands of years.

　　 Olaf and Half are not for catching many fish, their status and status do not need to be engaged in production, just like European nobles, they hunt for fun.

The two brothers each took a wooden thorn and walked to the lake. They looked down along the gap in the rocks. They found big and small fish and waved their arms and stabbed them. The wooden thorns thumped and aroused a splash of water, and then one was still struggling with its tail. The trout was picked out by Olaf.

　　Gerney applauded and cheered, and then shouted: "Half, you are behind!"

　　 Olaf flicked his arm, and the fish on the wooden thorn flew to the shore with a swish, landing at Gellney’s feet and struggling. When Gellney stepped on his leather boots, the fish stiffened.

　　Half has good strength and eyesight, but he has a irritable personality. When he sees a fish in a stone, he keeps stabling it. As a result, he moves quite quietly, and the effect is not good.

　　 After waiting for an hour, Olaf stabbed eight fish, but Half caught only three and slipped and fell into the mud.

　　Gerney laughed at his younger brother Half, who was very unconvinced, while Olaf smiled: "Pick up the fish and take them home. Today, the slaves can drink fish soup!"

　　 The three pierced the fish with a wood, then hung them on the saddle, and the three went home.

　　 When it got home, it was already dark. Olaf threw two strings of fish to the slaves in the house, and the three of them pushed the door and walked into the warm castle.

　　 Hadar and Catlin were sitting on the sofa drinking water and talking, and when they saw Olaf and the three come back, Half was still covered in mud, they laughed.

　　 "Go and change clothes!" Olaf whispered, and Half quickly ran back to his room.

　　 "What did you do?" Half put down his cup and asked.

　　 "Dad, Olaf took us to fish, and he said he will take me to hunt someday?" Gailny sat next to his father and said happily.

Hadar nodded and said, "Very good. We Vikings are heroic and versatile. Now that the weather is warm, you may go out and run more. But you can't go too far. After all, there are still many white wolves on the peninsula. drag."

After sitting for a while, Katlin went to cook, Gailny also left to change clothes, Olaf remembered his own thoughts in the morning, and said to his father: "Dad, do you think that Wenlan, as a free state, still lacks what?"

Hadar was so busy all day, there was no time to think about what Olaf said, so after listening to it, he hesitated and thought for a long time before saying: "Compared with Iceland and other countries, I feel that Vinland currently lacks churches and priests. If there are churches and pastors and elders, there will also be schools and scholars, and people can have places to worship every week!"

　　 Olaf knew that Hadar was the big landlord of Iceland in the 17th century. He could think that this layer was already very enlightened. After all, the church can stabilize the hearts of the people, and the affiliated church schools can impart knowledge.

Olaf nodded in agreement: "Dad, what you think is good. I also think that we lack churches. We Vikings and the children of contract white slaves have no way to learn words and knowledge. This is not conducive to Wenlan's development. I think This year we should invite some Protestant priests from Europa. We can also invite a few literate Puritans in Plymouth. First we will open a school to teach the language!"

　　 "You think very well. I can say hello to Kadir and ask him to choose a few literate Puritans and even priests." Hadar thought for a while and said.

Olaf attaches great importance to Wenlan school, but he also understands that education often determines the existence of ideology, why the Middle East is the base of Tianfang religion, and Europe is the base of Catholicism and Christianity, because the mosques and churches depend on people. The living area is established, and it holds the education rights of children and children. How can it be possible to cultivate pious believers without cultivating pious believers?

　　 Olaf does not dislike Christianity. He believes that the Protestant reform is correct. The church's control of secular power and the plunder of national wealth must be controlled or even eliminated. Otherwise, the state government will not have the ability to protect itself and will only become a vassal of the church.

Now Wenlan’s adoption of Protestantism is a long-awaited event for Icelanders and contracted white slaves. Everyone is a devout Christian believer. Naturally, we hope that there will be a sacred church to worship in order to seek peace in the spiritual world, and at the same time to educate our children. The problem can also be solved.

In addition to propagating religious beliefs and spreading ideologies rooted in Christian doctrine, the Protestant church has no conflict with the royal rule. If the Puritans or even Lutheran and Calvinist priests are introduced to preach, it will not harm Hadar’s rule, but it will still Popularize education and stabilize people's hearts.

　　 But Olaf thought of a danger, that is, advanced Christian culture can also destroy the primitive religious beliefs of the Beotuks and other native Indians. In fact, it would be harmless to destroy it.

　　 But now Hadar has just replaced the indigenous people’s belief in gods with himself. In the future, the incarnation of Hadar gods and their descendant families will be the foundation of the indigenous beliefs of Indians~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and the ideological propaganda and basis for ruling primitive aboriginals.

　　If Protestant priests flood into Vinland, they will definitely preach to the native Indians, which will inevitably impact the sacred status of the incarnation of the gods of the Hadar family.

　　 Olaf expressed his thoughts, and Hadar was also very vigilant, rubbing his chin and said: "It should be much better if we choose old and timid priests. How about we restrict their missionary activities?"

"Can we follow them twenty-four hours?" Olaf shook his head and said, "I think the Protestant priests must be used, but at present, I can only find one or two priests who are easy to control. The scope of worship and preaching.

In the future, we think we can look for priests from Iceland, Norway and other Nordic regions, because our priests from the Nordic region are not as rigid as the southern priests. They even have many remarks that blend our primitive religious culture with the biblical culture. For example, The appearance of the image of Santa Claus is that they merge with our traditional religious culture based on the vague description of the Bible. They think it is the deviation of people's understanding of God.

　　 I think we can allow these people to preach in the future, and even through them integrate the primitive religious beliefs of the Indians with our primitive Viking beliefs and Christian beliefs to create a pan-Viking religion that is acceptable to Vikings and slaves! "
