But our tax collectors leaf through their account books unable to discover a wrong number, without the place blew money not saying that referred to erratically also wants the backing up taxes and fees......” “你能相信吗,明明翡翠城富得流油,海陆贸易的生意连年增长,流动的总资金足够买下好几个小公国,但他们的账面数字依旧是亏损！而我们的税吏翻遍他们的账本都找不出一个错数,没地方刮钱不说,指不定还要倒退税费……” The fiscal manager opens «Petition», detested stares at one duplicate/restores to abandon: 财政总管翻开《请愿书》,嫌恶地盯了一眼复又扔下: „As for mentioned here, pays taxes for the service, told me, the shuttle bell, you thought that their time met the conscience to discover, delivered the money to you baseless?” “至于这里所说的,缴税替役,告诉我,梭铎,你觉得他们这次会良心发现,凭空给你送一大笔钱？” The shuttle bell stared in a big way the eye, in as if unbelievable world also had such matter. 梭铎瞪大了眼睛,似乎难以置信世上还有这样的事情。 Qiu can/but turns to the king, the tone becomes respectfully. 裘可转向国王,语气变得恭敬许多。 „If this is you in ‚budget’, your majesty, shuttle bell.” “如果这就是你们在等的‘预算’,陛下,梭铎。” „With all due respect, it cannot succeed.” “恕我直言,它没能成功。” „Expands manpower the matter of standing army, having a look at the next quarter income to say again.” “扩编常备军的事情,看看下个季度的收入再说吧。” The king has not spoken. 国王没有说话。 The shuttle bell gripped ruthlessly tightened the fist. 梭铎则狠狠攥紧了拳头。 The words of fiscal manager, before making the entire governing, conference come soberly, fall into the disappointed silence. 财政总管的话语,让整个御前会议清醒过来,陷入失望的沉默。 „Therefore, emerald city letter/believes is only the idle talk called? I meant, if our really passed, they have not lost anything, but also seems reasonable, earns full.” “所以,翡翠城这封信只是空口吆喝？我是说,如果我们的真的通过了,那他们既没损失什么,还显得通情达理,更赚得盆满钵满。” The farming and animal husbandry minister, Lord Clappen opens the mouth tremblingly: 农牧大臣,克拉彭勋爵颤巍巍地开口: „On the contrary is we, seemed like the small advantage, was actually the evil person, didn't the underpants have fortunately?” “反倒是我们,看似得了便宜,却做了恶人,亏得内裤都没了？” „Sly southern man.” Viscount Connie abandons table «Petition» on, did not scold one quickly: “狡猾的南方佬。”康尼子爵扔下桌上的《请愿书》,不快地骂了一句: „You said, the iris flower attacks the problem one manifestation at a time at the last moment, prepares this early, is waiting for this time?” “你们说,鸢尾花是事到临头见招拆招,还是老早准备好这一手,就等着这个时机？” The feudal officials look at each other in blank dismay, without answer. 众臣面面相觑,没有答案。 Until the voice of king resounds, 直到国王的声音响起, „This naturally is not the optimal solution.” “这当然不是最优解。” The tone of Kessel king is very tranquil, goes back the direction that the topic he wants: „But is the biggest concessions that the emerald city can give.” 凯瑟尔王的语气很平静,把话题拉回他想要的方向:“但已经是翡翠城能给出的最大让步了。” The iron hand king is looking at that letter/believes spookily. 铁腕王幽幽地望着那封信。 „Depending on banquet at that the sword, the component is insufficient.” “光凭宴会上的那把剑,份量还不够。” Gilbert has to sigh in the innermost feelings. 基尔伯特只得在内心叹息。 „Damn, does the western wild playboy in that banquet, how kidnap the guest?” “该死的,那个宴会上的西荒公子哥儿,怎么就只是绑架宾客呢？” The military adviser beats to strike the desktop ruthlessly: 军事顾问狠狠地捶击桌面: „He the crime that if commits was big a point to be good, for example assassinated the prince......” “他要是犯的罪再大一点就好了,比如说刺杀王子……” Gilbert responded, angrily rebuked saying: 基尔伯特反应过来,怒斥道: „Shuttle bell!” “梭铎！” But the shuttle bell not care beckons with the hand: 可梭铎只是毫不在意地摆摆手: „Doesn't matter, you know that I am not that meaning......” “没关系,你知道我不是那个意思……” The shuttle bell has turned head, reads the correspondence on table, sighed: 梭铎回过头,看着桌上的信函,叹息道: „Gilbert, you thinks again, really didn't have the means? This letter/believes, it solved the issue of our politics and budget with great difficulty simultaneously......” “基尔伯特,你再想想,真的没有办法了吗？这封信,它好不容易同时解决了我们政治和预算的问题……” Does not wait for the foreign minister to open the mouth, Qiu can/but first coldly in side punctures his one: 不等外交大臣开口,裘可就在旁边先冷冷地刺他一句: „You attend class have not listened, main strength? Its anything could not be solved.” “你上课没听讲吗,大兵？它什么都解决不了。” Gilbert nods wearily. 基尔伯特疲倦地点点头。 „If your majesty permits the proposition of this petition, starts to reform the military system from the emerald city, first steps forward controversial this first step......” “如果陛下允准这封请愿书的提议,从翡翠城开始改革兵制,先跨出这充满争议的第一步……” He looked at a direction of king, the mood is complex: 他看了一眼国王的方向,情绪复杂: „That Fuxing Gong must swallow all bitter fruits of above saying, except for the south bank duke's false support, with did not know whether there is beyond the tax money of whereabouts, the advantage was really limited.” “那复兴宫就必须吞下以上所言的所有苦果,除了南岸公爵虚伪的声援,和不晓得有无着落的税金之外,好处实在有限。” „Even is not one's turn us to permit it,” Duke Coulomb seems like the mood to be good: “甚至轮不到我们允准它,”库伦公爵看上去心情甚好: „Unlike reorganizing the bright star private soldier such small scale, so long as this petition were public through official documents or written order and other forms, military system reform appears on the market, stirs the kingdom bottom-up great unrest inevitably, we will stand in the keenest struggle, draws back does not have to draw back.” “跟改编璨星私兵这样的小打小闹不同,只要这封请愿书通过公文或手令等形式公开,兵制改革一事面世,就必然引发王国从上到下的轩然大波,我们将站在风口浪尖,退无可退。” The long table hidden place, the pupil of king tapers gradually tightly. 长桌暗处,国王的瞳孔渐渐缩紧。 „After all, asking an outrageous price is only the method,” Ulan Bator is looking at the scared shuttle bell, sound said: “毕竟,漫天要价只是手段,”库伦望着失魂落魄的梭铎,啧声道: „Falling to the ground to render back the money was good, cannot really count on that sold the sky-high price.” “落地还钱就行了,可不能真指望卖出天价吧。” This word makes the military adviser even more depressed. 此言让军事顾问越发消沉。 Qiu can/but the manager had a yawn low-key, about looked around, having the tone probe of closing session saying: 裘可总管低调地打了个哈欠,左右张望了一圈,带着结束会议的口吻试探道: „That this letter/believes......” “那这封信……” „Disregards it,” Gilbert's tone has the helplessness, there is a decisiveness: “无视它吧,”基尔伯特的语气既有无奈,也有果断: „Gets buried into it the Fuxing Gong daily innumerable official documents correspondence, does not live the mighty waves, submerges.” “把它埋进复兴宫每天的无数公文书信里,不生波澜,就此淹没。” Before the governing, conference, replied that his is an embarrassed silence. 御前会议上,回答他的是一片难堪的沉默。 Until the voice of king resounds again. 直到国王的声音再次响起。 „Therefore,” Kessel king Di smiles again and again, extremely does not have the happy expression, making one tremble, „we sat alone in boredom here for day......” “所以,”凯瑟尔王低笑连连,却殊无笑意,令人不由一颤,“我们在这里枯坐了一天……” „However my son encounters the assassin at the banquet, but also almost dies of the duel......” “而我的儿子在宴会上遭遇刺客,还差点死于决斗……” At that moment, the face of iron hand king reveals from the setting sun, has an inexplicable strangeness: 那一刻,铁腕王的面孔从夕阳下露出,有股莫名的诡异: „Traded...... these?” “就换来了……这些？” Before the governing, feudal officials together are uneven the low head, no one dares to answer this issue. 御前众臣齐齐低下头颅,没有人敢回答这个问题。 Only had a coulomb manner to sip tea calmly and steadily, the vision went to the discussing official business table the end: 唯有库伦神态安稳地啜了一口茶,目光投向议事桌的尽头: „Very pitifully, your majesty, but this letter/believes wanted to you.” “很可惜,陛下,但这封信给不了您想要的。” „Right, the wheel forwards rolling.” “没错,车轮滚滚向前。” East Sea duke puts down the teacup, crooked waistband, well satisfied: 东海公爵放下茶杯,正了正自己歪斜的腰带,心满意足: „But does not promote by the brute force.” “但绝非以蛮力推动。” The end of long table, the Kessel king under setting sun is silent. 长桌的尽头,夕阳下的凯瑟尔王沉默不语。 Only the pair of pupil, glitters in the darkness slightly. 唯有一双眸子,在黑暗中微微闪烁。
