两天后,新飞商会车队离开停留了足足三天的巴特鲁城,踏上通向瑟韦尔城的道路。Outside the soilsand and crushed stoneroad of mediumMagic Powerpassenger trainnon-stopbeing bumpyonBatru City, is drivinginXu Yi and car(riage)otherMagic Powered Machine ToolR & D Center the bodies of researcherskeepsrockingslightly.
中型魔力客车在巴特鲁城外的泥土砂石路上不停颠簸着,带动着许亦和车内其他魔力机床研发中心的研究员们的身体不停地轻微晃动。
The researchersunder the leadership of dwarfKanbe, are gathering togethermakes the best use of the timeafterarriving atSever City the forthcomingworkwill be doneis asking forLuanto investigate, will contrastextremelylively the atmosphere in car(riage).
研究员们在矮人坎比的带领下,正聚在一起抓紧时间对到达瑟韦尔城后即将开始的工作做着讨滦究,将车内的气氛烘托得极为热闹。HoweverXu Yiactuallyseemsextremelysilent, do not look the scenery that excessivelyout of the windownon-stopbacking up, frownsslightly, continuouslyinponderduring.
然而许亦却显得极为沉默,别过头看着窗外不停倒退的景物,微微皱起眉头,一直处于沉思之中。In the worn-outhouse that the visionnon-stopflashing throughby the pathpassed over gently and swiftly, the expression on Xu Yifacealsobecomesmore and moredignified.
目光在道路两旁不停闪过的破旧房屋上掠过,许亦脸上的表情也变得越来越凝重。Heis facing an importantchoiceat this moment, actuallybecause ofhaving many misgivings, is unable to set firm resolve.
他此刻正在面临着一个重要的选择,却因为顾虑重重,迟迟无法下定决心。NearbyKanbestops the discussiontemporarily, has turned the headto seeon the Xu Yiface the strangelook, cannot bearask: „President, were you? Since the day before yesterdayandCount Longliwent outto transferone, howalwaysthisexpression? WasCount Longlihandledwhatmatter, makingyoufeel embarrassed?”
一旁的坎比暂时停下讨论,转过头看到许亦脸上奇怪的神色,忍不住问道:“会长,你这是怎么了?自从前天和隆利伯爵出去转了一圈后,怎么总是这幅表情?难道是隆利伯爵做了什么事情,让你为难了吗?”Xu Yismiles bitterly, shakes the headgently.许亦苦笑一声,轻轻摇头。„Althoughsaid that isCount Longlimakesmenot miscalculateawkwardly, but the factis I am making itselffeel embarrassed.”
“虽然说是隆利伯爵让我为难也不算错,但事实却是我自己在让自己为难。”„What do you mean?” A Kanbefaceis bewildered.
“什么意思?”坎比一脸莫名其妙。Xu Yiis staring atpathdistant placesmallvillages comprised ofonecrowd of lowworn-outhouseslooked ata while, suddenlyopens the mouthto ask: „Kanbe, ifdecided that handles a matterto helpmanypeople, mayfall into a verydangerbyoneself. How will youchoose?”许亦盯着道路远方一个由一群低矮破旧房屋组成的小村落看了一会儿,忽然开口问道:“坎比,如果决定做一件事情可以帮助很多人,却有可能让自己陷入一个非常危险的境地。你会怎么选择?”Kanbefrowns: „Thatmustlook at that thesepeoplewere worthhelping. Alsomustlook is the danger that oneselffaceverystrong. What's wrong? President. WhatCount Longlisaidwithyou, should henot wantto inviteyouto come the Batru Cityinvestment?”坎比皱起眉头:“那要看那些人值不值得帮了。还要看自己面临的危险是不是很强。怎么?会长。隆利伯爵到底和你说了什么,他该不会是想邀请你来巴特鲁城投资吧?”Xu Yistares the bigeyeto look atKanbesurprisedly.许亦惊讶地瞪大眼睛看着坎比。Always, hethinks that Kanbethesedwarfrespondedatthismatteris quite slow, has not actually thought that hissotasteshad/left the truthunexpectedlykeenly.
一直以来,他都以为坎比这些矮人在这种事情上反应比较迟钝,却没想到他居然如此敏锐地一口道出了真相。„Un, Count Longliindeedmade the invitation, moreoverhisattitudeis very sincere, Imustacknowledge,Iwas touchedbyhim.”Xu Yinodsto say.
“嗯,隆利伯爵的确做出了邀请,而且他的态度十分诚恳,我必须承认,我被他打动了。”许亦点点头道。Thought of these days and contact of Count Longli. In the Xu Yihearthad a difference.
想到这几天和隆利伯爵的接触。许亦心中生出了一丝异样。Inthese years, with the rapid growth of Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce, Xu YicontactedinLanpali Kingdomlots ofaristocrats, in whichqualityin his opinionhad advantages and disadvantages.
在这几年,随着新飞商会的高速发展,许亦接触到了兰帕里王国内大量的贵族,其中的品质在他看来有好有坏。
The goodaristocratcanachievewith the civilianpeaceful coexistence, evencanextendvariousaidsto helpto the civiliansinoneselfrangeas far as possible, the badaristocratwill actually be relying on the privilegepingcivilians of aristocrat, satisfiesown**.
好的贵族可以做到和平民们和平共处,甚至能够在自己尽可能的范围内对平民们伸出各种援手进行帮助,坏的贵族却会凭借着贵族的特权乒平民,满足自己的**。Butmostaristocratsare receiving the tradition of aristocrat, basically is completely intwodifferentclasseswith the civilians, is respectively unrelated, seems the people in twoworld.
而大多数贵族都秉承着贵族的传统,基本上和平民们完全处于两个不同的阶层,各不相干,仿佛是两个世界的人。Howeverno matter what. WhicharistocratXu Yihas not seenlikeCount Longli, canbe togetherwith the ordinarycivilianequalitytruly. Eventries hardfor the life of civiliansto improveoneselfgovernswholeheartedly.
但是不管怎么样。许亦都没有看到哪一名贵族像隆利伯爵这样,真正能够和普通的平民们平等相处。甚至全心全意地为改善自己治下的平民们的生活而努力。Xu Yicannotdetermine that Count Longliis acting in a play, from the formerpeople'sappraisaltooldCount Longli, as well asfor these daysheandCount Longliwas together, the Batru Citycivilianstreatedin the Count Longliattitudeto see, the Count Longliattitudeshouldbequitesincere.许亦不敢确定隆利伯爵是不是在演戏,但是从之前人们对老隆利伯爵的评价,以及这几天他和隆利伯爵相处时,巴特鲁城的平民们对待隆利伯爵的态度中可以看出,隆利伯爵的态度应该是相当真诚的。After allhecounterfeitseasily, is very difficultto makeBatru Cityallcivilianscounterfeittogether.
毕竟他一个人作假容易,却很难让巴特鲁城所有的平民们共同作假。Even ifregardlesswhetheracts in a playdid not discuss, the significance that light/onlyrepresentsfrom the Count Longlisurfacemanifests the attitudeandthismatter that Xu Yihas toseriouslyconsiderhisproposition.
就算抛开是否演戏不谈,光是从隆利伯爵表面上体现出来的态度和这件事情所代表的意义,许亦就不得不认真考虑他的提议。InveststoBatru City, is not difficultregardingFresh Flight Chamber of Commerce.
到巴特鲁城进行投资,对于新飞商会来说并不是多么困难。AlthoughBatru City is quite indeed impoverished, andin fact the entirecityandhas no good resources, butbythese daysobservation, Xu Yihas been ableto find several method of developingBatru City, andafterinspectson the spot, thought that has the feasibility.
虽然巴特鲁城的确极为贫困,并且实际上整个城市并没有什么太好的资源,但是凭借这几天的观察,许亦已经能够找到几个发展巴特鲁城的方法,并且经过实地考察,觉得相当有可行性。Batru Cityis shortonly, is the fund, butthisispresentFresh Flight Chamber of Commerceis not exactly defective.巴特鲁城唯一欠缺的,就是资金而已,而这恰恰是现在的新飞商会不欠缺的。Ifcomplied with the invitation of Count Longli, Fresh Flight Chamber of Commercearrives atBatru Cityto investwantonly, is representinganotherprofoundersignificance, means that Batru CitythispublicflagforYour HighnessPrince Ericexpressed support the city, actuallystartsto cooperatewithSewinniecrown princesssupporterFresh Flight Chamber of Commerceunexpectedly.
如果答应了隆利伯爵的邀请,新飞商会来到巴特鲁城大肆投资,代表着另外一个更深远的意义,意味着巴特鲁城这个公开旗帜对艾瑞克王子殿下表示支持的城市,却和瑟维尼王女殿下的支持者新飞商会居然开始进行合作。Somepeopledo not think that isFresh Flight Chamber of Commercewantsto switchYour HighnessPrince Eric, butwill only makepeoplethink,isCount Longliwantsto betray the prince.
不会有人认为是新飞商会想要转投艾瑞克王子殿下,而只会让人觉得,是隆利伯爵想要背叛王子殿下。
The reasonispower balance of both sidesreally is extremely disparate.
原因就是双方的力量对比实在太过悬殊。AlthoughCount Longliislord of the city, solemnCount, butBatru Cityis the strengthis smallest and weakestin the Northeastprovince, the poorestcity, inCount LonglithisCity Lordhandsimplyhas not graspedmanystrengths.隆利伯爵虽然是一城之主,堂堂伯爵,但是巴特鲁城在东北行省是实力最为弱小,最为贫穷的城市,隆利伯爵这个城主手中根本没有掌握多少力量。ButFresh Flight Chamber of Commerceis different.
而新飞商会则不同。Now the development momentumis swiftest most and violentasLanpali Kingdom, was regarded as the auspiciousnewchamber of commercebyeveryone, Fresh Flight Chamber of Commercenowon the potential that the graspedstrengthandcontains, is far fromCity Lord of poorcitycanplace on a par.
作为兰帕里王国现在发展势头最为迅猛,被所有人视为前途无限的新型商会,新飞商会现在就已经掌握的力量和蕴藏的潜力,都远非一个贫穷城市的城主能够相提并论。both sidesrespectivelycrown princess the supportregardingYour HighnessPrince EricandSewinnie also differdisparately.
双方各自对于艾瑞克王子殿下和瑟维尼王女殿下的支持力度也同样相差悬殊。Howeverfor all this, the symbolic significance of thismatterstill is extremely huge.
但是尽管如此,这件事情的象征意义却依然极其巨大。IfCount Longlireallychoosesto inviteFresh Flight Chamber of Commerceto investtoBatru City, carries out the comprehensive cooperationwithFresh Flight Chamber of Commerce, thendefinitely a sidewill be regarded as the betrayalbyYour HighnessPrince Eric.
如果隆利伯爵真的选择邀请新飞商会到巴特鲁城进行投资,和新飞商会进行全面合作,那么必然会被艾瑞克王子殿下一方视为背叛。Moreoverthiswas equal to that gavemanypeopleto make not a very goodstart, means that supported a side of Your HighnessPrince Ericis not the monolithic bloc, the interiorpresented the fission.
而且这等于给很多人开了一个很不好的头,意味着支持艾瑞克王子殿下的一方并不是铁板一块,内部本身就出现了分裂。Ifthismatterbecomes the fact, Xu YicompletelyconceivableYour HighnessPrince Ericis furious, the consequence that initiatescanbehowserious.
如果这件事情成为事实,许亦完全可以想象艾瑞克王子殿下是多么震怒,所引发的后果会是多么严重。
When hearsCount Longliwith one's own earstooneselfsend outthisinvitationclearly, althoughXu Yihas the preparation, still is very surprised.
所以当亲耳听到隆利伯爵向自己清楚地发出这个邀请时,尽管许亦早就有心理准备,却依然十分吃惊。„Count Longli, youreallydetermined that cando that? Youdetermined that knowswhatconsequencedoes thiswill cause?”
“隆利伯爵,你真的确定要这么做吗?你确定知道这样做会造成什么后果吗?”Xu Yistillremembers that nowCount Longlirepliedat that time when thisissue, bitterness and astringencyandhelplessness that on the facein the expressioncontains, as well asdeepfirmness.许亦现在依然记得隆利伯爵当时回答这个问题时,脸上表情中蕴含的苦涩和无奈,以及其中深深的坚定。„Iknow certainly. Howevercompares the entireBatru Cityseveral tens of thousandspeople of lifeevento survive, the name of trivialbetrayalwas considered asanything. Forthisgoal, ourgrandLifamilyhas tried hardseveralgenerations, nowhasthisopportunityto be placedin front ofme, ifIhave not grasped, how the doing right byfamily'ssenior, howdoes right byBatru Citypeople!”
“我当然知道。但是相比起整个巴特鲁城数万人的生活甚至是生存,区区背叛的名义又算得了什么。为了这个目标,我们隆利家族已经努力了好几代人,现在有这个机会摆在我面前,我如果还不去把握住的话,怎么对得起家族的前辈,怎么对得起巴特鲁城的人们!”„Youdeterminedwords that does this, your fatherinundergroundhas the knowledge, will not think that youdid betrayhim?”
“你确定这样做的话,你的父亲在地下有知,不会觉得你背叛了他吗?”„Fatherchoseto supportYour HighnessPrince Ericinitially , because the princedeclared that certainlywill first supportto guaranteein the kingdomallcivilianscaneatto sate the appetite, butnowhetodetermine the military exploittooneself, actuallydoes not attend to the life of civilians, insteadmustincreasehuge the burden that is unbearabletoBatru City. IfLord Fatherstill, onlyfeared that meetsfirstto reprimandhim.”
“父亲当初之所以选择支持艾瑞克王子殿下,是因为王子殿下申明一定会优先支持保证王国内所有的平民们都能吃饱饭,但是现在他为了给自己确定军功,却不顾平民们的死活,反而要给巴特鲁城增加庞大的难以承受的负担。父亲大人如果仍然在的话,只怕会第一个斥责他。”
The Count LongliexplicitreplymadeXu Yiunderstandwhyhemustmakethisto shockeveryone'schoiceabsolutely, during madeXu Yialsofall intowas awkward.隆利伯爵明确的回答让许亦明白了他为什么要做出这样绝对会震惊所有人的选择,却让许亦也陷入了为难之中。For these daysandCount Longliwalked aroundinside and outsideBatru City, naturallydid not play, butmade a detailedinspectionunder the leadership of Count Longlito the Batru Cityinside and outsideenvironment.
这几天和隆利伯爵在巴特鲁城内外到处走动,自然不是游玩,而是在隆利伯爵的带领下对巴特鲁城内外的环境做了一个详细的考察。Inthese days, Xu Yidiscovered that Batru Cityworthilyis the Northeastprovincepoorestcity, do not say that mostordinary peasants outside citylikeHallone, is unable to solveincluding the most basicfood and shelter problem, evenin the city the familyconditionslightlyis goodresident, similarlystill can only get byreluctantly.
在这几天内,许亦发现巴特鲁城不愧是东北行省最贫穷的城市,不要说城外的大多数普通农民都像老哈尔一家一样,连最基本的温饱问题都无法解决,就算是城内家庭条件稍微好一些的居民,同样也只能是勉强度日。Do not mediatehas developedto become wealthycompared withBunta Citynowhigh-speed, anycity that even ifhas been towithXu Yiis unable to place on a par.
不要说和现在已经高速发展富裕起来的邦塔城相比,就算和许亦到过的任何一个城市都无法相提并论。Xu Yinaturallyhopes that canrely on the investment of Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce, thusdrivesBatru Cityto develop, improves the life of thesepoorpeople.许亦当然希望能够凭借新飞商会的投资,从而带动巴特鲁城发展,改善这些贫穷的人们的生活。Howeverif it's going to be like this, not onlyCount Longliwill face very serious concern, Xu Yiwill also face the difficulty.
但是这样做的话,不仅隆利伯爵会面临很严重的问题,许亦自己也同样会面临困难。Your HighnessPrince Eric a sidethinks that Count Longliis the betrayal, actually also thinks that Fresh Flight Chamber of Commercedoes thisis even challengingtotheirprovocationcompletely.艾瑞克王子殿下一方会认为隆利伯爵是背叛,却也同样会认为新飞商会这样做完全是在对他们的挑衅甚至是挑战。
The words that reallymustdo this, will be very likelyto breakat presentYour HighnessPrince Eric a sideand a Sewinniecrown princesssidefrailbalance, letsalsobeboth sides of peaceful coexistenceopposedreluctantlytruly.
真要这样做的话,将极有可能打破目前艾瑞克王子殿下一方和瑟维尼王女殿下一方脆弱的平衡,让原本还勉强算是和平共处的双方真正对立起来。Xu Yibeing able to undertakelets the heavy responsibility that Lanpali Kingdomsplits, thereforeheis unable to comply withCount Longliwith ease, can only tellCount Longlihimto consider,leaves behind a ray of hopetohim.许亦承担不起让兰帕里王国分裂的重任,所以他无法轻松地答应隆利伯爵,只能告诉隆利伯爵他会考虑,给他留下一线希望而已。As formustcomplyto do thisspecifically, Xu Yimustreturn toBunta CityandSewinniecrown princessdiscussedwellis good.
至于具体要不要答应这样做,许亦必须回到邦塔城和瑟维尼王女殿下好好商议才行。Thismatter, already, not only a matter of Fresh Flight Chamber of Commercechamber of commerce.
这件事情,已经不只是新飞商会一家商会的事情。Count Longlinaturallyknows the worry of Xu Yi, has not compelledXu Yito agreeimmediately,insteadentertainsFresh Flight Chamber of Commerceonelinewarmly, fullymanifestedhissincerity.隆利伯爵自然知道许亦的顾虑,也没有硬逼着许亦立即同意,反而更加热情地招待新飞商会一行,充分体现出了他的诚意。Justwhensees offjust before leaving, the Count LonglilookmakesXu Yi feel somewhat hardto resist.
只不过在临走送行的时候,隆利伯爵的眼神却让许亦感觉到有些难以招架。Thinks ofhere, Xu Yican't help itsmiles bitterlyagain.
想到这里,许亦禁不住再次苦笑一声。IfLanpali13 th has not given birth toso manychildrenthis/shouldwell, orhedeterminedsimplydirectlybecomes the successor to the throneto be much good, like thiseveryonedoes not use, for a thronemutualbattle, thusevenwhiteconsumes the Lanpali Kingdomnational strength.
如果兰帕里十三世没有生出这么多子女该多好,或者他干脆直接确定其中一个成为王位继承人多好,这样大家就不用为了一个王位互相争斗,从而平白消耗兰帕里王国的国力。Now the situation in Lanpali Kingdomturns intothis, his kingactuallymustbear the primary responsibility.
现在兰帕里王国内的形势变成这样,他这个国王其实应当背负首要责任。
Since howeversuch a long time, the kinghas actually stayed outcompletely, does not makeanydecidedfinally, withoutshowing the attitude of deviationwhichside.
然而这么长时间以来,国王陛下却完全置身事外,既不做出任何最终决定,也没有表现出偏向哪一方的态度。Probably...... hewantsto make the matterturn intothisappearanceradicallyintentionally.
就好像……他根本是故意想让事情变成这副样子似的。
Does thisking, whatactuallywantto make?( To be continued......)
这个国王陛下,到底是想做什么呢?(未完待续……)
