At this point, HeniePolisturns upwards a leg, the right handtaps the conference table, saying of taunt: „Finally? Fails badlyin the SicilyCarthagearmy, 100,000armieslosehalf ofmany, surplusdistancesalsoperishedare not far. Bythis time, negotiatedwiththisconditionagain, someare inappropriate.”
说到这里,赫尼波里斯翘起一条腿,右手轻敲谈判桌,嘲讽的说道:“结果呢?在西西里的迦太基军队遭受惨败,10万大军损失了一半多,剩余的也距离灭亡不远了。到这个时候,再拿这个条件来进行谈判,就有些不合适了。”suddenlyCleetonsinks.
俄克里顿心里一沉。HeniePolisfacial featuresentire, solemnsaying: „Becausetheseinitiates the main force that fiercely attackstoSellinNusecitytime the armyfromIberia, your majestyworried, even ifboth countriesreach the peace agreement, will be ruledsouthIberia that to become the biggestthreat of two countriespeaceby the Magonidvirtuefamilies, therefore, weincreasedtwoin the originalnegotiationscondition-”
赫尼波里斯面容一整,冷峻的说道:“由于这一次对塞林努斯城发起猛攻的主力是来自伊比利亚的军队,陛下担忧即使两国达成和平协议,由马戈尼德家族统治的伊比利亚南部会成为两国和平的最大威胁,因此,我们在原来的谈判条件中多增加了两条-”HeniePolisstretches out a finger, the clear and resonant voicesaid: „First, hands over the entireIberiasouthernCarthagecolonybyTheoniacompletelyhas jurisdiction.”
赫尼波里斯伸出一根手指,朗声说道:“第一,将整个伊比利亚南部的迦太基殖民地全部交由戴奥尼亚管辖。”Hethenstretches out the 2ndfinger: „Second, Carthagemustreturnto seizeNummiBiya'salllands, givingNummiBiyapersonis independent, can not invade the territory of NummiBiyapersonagain, interferes with the internal affairs of itstribe.”
他接着伸出第二根手指:“第二,迦太基必须退还占领努米比亚的所有土地,给予努米比亚人独立,不得再入侵努米比亚人的领地,干涉其部落的内部事务。”suddenlyCleetonlistens, the complexionbig change, hehas not thought that the request of Theonian is so greedyandvicious, had surpassed the tentative plan of councilby far, accepts the Theoniancondition, without doubtwill shake the Carthaginiansfoundation, hedoes not dareto negotiateonthesetwonewconditionsarbitrarily, thesewhiteto come!
俄克里顿听完,脸色大变,他没想到戴奥尼亚人的要求是如此的贪婪和凶狠,已经远远的超出了元老院的设想,答应戴奥尼亚人的条件,无疑会动摇迦太基人的根基,他根本不敢擅自就这两个新加的条件进行谈判,这一趟又白来了!................................................
…………………………………………„SirPubLiius, Thuriisoonarrived!”Romeagricultural affairsofficerTibullusis pointing at the front, tois tiredpresently some formerRomebigaristocrats of panting, Theoniasenior statesmanPubLiius of newpromote. ManlyOurssesaid.
“普布利乌斯大人,图里伊就快要到了!”罗马农务官提布鲁斯指着前方,对已经累得有些气喘吁吁的前罗马大贵族、现新晋的戴奥尼亚元老普布利乌斯.曼利乌斯说道。Actuallydoes not needhimto remind, through the observation of PubLiius, had felt that Thuriiis not farin the front, because the pathis getting more and more spacioussmoothly, pedestriansuddenincrease, includingfarmer who carries the farm toolandsoilmuch, pathboth sideshouseis getting more and more dense , bigger and bigger......
其实不用他提醒,通过普布利乌斯自己的观察,已经感到图里伊就在前方不远,因为道路越来越宽敞平整,行人急剧的增多,其中有不少扛着农具、一身泥土的农夫,道路两旁的房屋越来越稠密,也越来越高大……„SirPubLiius, herefrom the Thuriiinner cityalso4and5li (0.5 km)roads, youfirstrodeto start, is more economical the physical strength, got down to the city gateagain.”TibullusseesPubLiiusto puff, the persuasion of good intentionsaid.
“普布利乌斯大人,这里距离图里伊内城还有四、五里路了,你还是先骑上马,节省一些体力,到了内城门再下来。”提布鲁斯见普布利乌斯喘着粗气,好心的劝说道。„4and5li (0.5 km)road?!”PubLiiusis somewhat surprised: Looks at the intensity of thispathboth sideshouse, and bustlingstream of people, is less suitable than someLatincity-statecitiesinlets, unexpectedlyis away from the trueThuriiinner citysoto be far, thisKingdom of Theoniacentral cityhuge?!
“还有四、五里路?!”普布利乌斯有些吃惊:瞧这道路两旁房屋的密集程度,以及熙熙攘攘的人流,比一些拉丁城邦的城内也不宜多让,居然距离真正的图里伊内城还有这么远,这座戴奥尼亚王国的中心城市到底有多庞大?!PubLiiushas once thought that the Romecityisonthislandsbiggestcity-state, nowheis looking at the frontdisappointed, feelsowntiny, thisstrengthenedhisbeforehandinsistence: „Does not needto ride a horse, Iwalknot to have the issue, happen tocanappreciate the scenery of Thuriicityslowly.”
普布利乌斯曾经一直认为罗马城是这片土地上最大的城邦,现在他怅然的望着前方,顿感自身的渺小,这更坚定了他之前的坚持:“不用骑马,我走路没问题,正好可以慢慢的欣赏图里伊城的景色。”Because after the Thuriimilitary compound, hearsalong with the Romeofficials who hecomes backtogethermentions, except for the cavalryand other specialduties, the Thuriiinner citydoes not allowto ride a horsegenerally, although the outer cityareapermits, but the strangerwill encounterpatrols the interrogation and reminder of team, mostly is worriedto damage the pedestrian. Newly-arrivedPubLiiustohandle affairslow-key, quickdismounts the walk, at that timealsoexplainedwith the similarspoken language.
因为在经过图里伊军营之后,听到随他一起回来的罗马官员们谈起,除了骑兵等特殊的职务,图里伊内城一般是不允许骑马的,外城区虽然允许,但是陌生人会遭到巡察队的盘问和提醒,主要是担心撞伤行人。初来乍到的普布利乌斯为了低调行事,很快就下马步行,当时也是以相似的言语进行解释的。Tibullusmanyguesses correctly a pointhisthoughts, has not persuadedagain.
提布鲁斯多少猜到一点他的心思,也就没再劝说。„Tibullus?!”Hears the shoutsuddenly, Tibullusthenlooked, young manstride that a farmerdresses upcatches up, excitedsaying: „Looks at the backto look likeyou! Beforeheard that youregisteredon own initiativeLatin, wehelped the personalsoworryforyou,looks atyounowthisthinappearance, was certainly tiredinRome, thistimecame backis the leave? Official business?”
“提布鲁斯?!”身后突然传来喊声,提布鲁斯回头一看,一位农夫打扮的年轻男子大步的赶过来,一脸兴奋的说道:“看背影就像是你!之前听说你主动报名去拉丁姆,我们一帮人还为你担心,看你现在这精瘦的样子,在罗马一定非常劳累吧,这次回来是休假?还是公务?”„Official business.”Tibullussaidsimply, thenturns round a introduced: „Thiswassenior statesman of Wang Guoxinpromote- SirPubLiiusfromRome.”
“公务。”提布鲁斯简单的说了一句,然后回身介绍道:“这位是王国新晋的元老-来自罗马的普布利乌斯大人。”Thatyoung peoplelooked athimcuriously, somehesitations, gathernearTibullusear, saidlow voice: „Will heunderstandourwords?”
那位年轻人好奇的看了看他,有些踌躇,凑到提布鲁斯耳边,小声说道:“他会听懂我们的话吗?”„The Greek of SirPubLiiusis fluent!”Tibullussaidoneloudly, to a PubLiiusintroduced: „Thiswasagricultural affairsofficerAxiKarrus of myoncecolleagueandThuriiouter citynorth area.”
“普布利乌斯大人的希腊语非常流利!”提布鲁斯大声的说了一句,又向普布利乌斯介绍道:“这位是我曾经的同僚、图里伊外城北区的德莫农务官阿西卡卢斯。”PubLiiussmiles the nodto express best wishesimmediately: „Knowsyouvery muchhappily, AxiKarrusagricultural affairsofficer!”
普布利乌斯随即微笑着点头致意:“很高兴认识你,阿西卡卢斯农务官!”AxiKarrusobviouslyawkward, hurriesto squeeze the smile, goes forwardonestep, salutes saying: „SirPubLiius, welcomeyouto cometoThurii!”
阿西卡卢斯微显尴尬,赶紧挤出笑容,上前一步,行礼说道:“普布利乌斯大人,欢迎你到图里伊来!”„IandraiseBruske, not onlycolleague, moreoversince childhoodis the neighbor, studiesin the Thuriischooltogether, togetherthroughtest, dividedMinistry of Agriculture...... you saying that exactlytogetherthiswasblessing of Hades, ourfriendshipwere notgeneralgood!”AxiKarrusis saying, builds the armonTibullus'sshoulder, patted the racketexcitedly.
“我和提布鲁斯可不只是同僚,而且从小就是邻居,又都在图里伊学校一起学习,一起通过考试,又恰好一起分到了农务部……你说说这是不是哈迪斯的庇佑,我们俩的友情可不是一般的好!”阿西卡卢斯说着,将胳膊搭在提布鲁斯的肩上,兴奋的拍了拍。AlthoughPubLiiusinwhatThuriischooltoAxiKarruswordsandtestand so on wordslistento be not quite clear, ispolitenod.
普布利乌斯虽然对阿西卡卢斯话里的什么图里伊学校、考试之类的话语听不太明白,还是礼貌的点了点头。Tibullusmakes an effortto openhishand, scolds: „Inyourhanddirty, scratchestowardmeon!”
提布鲁斯则用力将他的手打开,骂道:“你手上脏兮兮的,就往我身上擦!”AxiKarrusshows an indignantexpressionimmediately: „Is goodyourTibullus, went toLatinto treatsome time, unexpectedlystartedto shut outourtheseagricultural affairsofficers! Dirtyhow! ThisisIworksandinstructs the Thuriipeoplecomplete the testimony of spring sowingindustriously!”
阿西卡卢斯立刻摆出一副气愤的表情:“好你个提布鲁斯,去拉丁姆待了一段时间,居然开始嫌弃我们这些农务官啦!脏兮兮的怎么啦!这可是我辛勤工作、指导图里伊的民众完成春播的见证!”Althoughknows the character of ownthisgood friendbracelet, buthiswordsbrought toTibullus'sattention, cannot bearask: „This year'sspring sowing conducts how?”
虽然知道自己这位好友跳脱的性格,但他的话还是引起了提布鲁斯的注意,忍不住问道:“今年的春播进行的怎么样?”„Thisalsoused saying that naturally was not smooth!”AxiKarrusshrugs, helplesssighing: „ Youshouldalsobe ableto feelthiswardurationsoto be long, scaleinLatin is so big, aroundourThuriidistricttook away more than 40,000young and middle-agedcitizensone after another, returnsis the wounded soldiers, youthink that thisagriculturaleffectonThuriibig, nowherelabor forceis deficient!
“这还用说,当然是不怎么顺利啦!”阿西卡卢斯耸耸肩,无奈的叹道:“你在拉丁姆应该也能感受到这场战争持续时间这么长、规模这么大,我们图里伊大区前后相继被抽掉走4万多青壮年公民,返回来的都是伤兵,你想想这对图里伊的农业影响有多大,现在这里的劳力非常缺乏!Let alonewas the spring sowing, beforefall harvesttimehas madeourThuriiagricultural affairsofficerspuzzle over, weappliedtoChiefLysias, usedlots ofkingdomslaves, reducedto become the deadline of kingdomcitizenthrough the promise, drew on( war that manyfreemenSpartaandThebesandAthens conducted to get stronger and stronger, causesGreekpeopleunderperson with high aspirations'sguidance, startedtoward the Kingdom of Theoniamigration), underoururging, made the fall harvest of Thuriidistrictsuccessfullycompletewith great difficulty, maynot havegasping for breathwell, shouldbe one's turn the spring sowing, fortunatelythesetime- ”
别说是春播了,之前秋收的时候就已经让我们图里伊农务官们伤透了脑筋,我们向吕西阿斯长官申请,动用了大量的王国奴隶,又通过许诺缩短成为王国公民的期限,招来了不少自由民(斯巴达和底比斯、雅典进行的战争越演越烈,导致希腊本土的民众在有心人的引导下,又开始往戴奥尼亚王国迁移),在我们的督促之下,好不容易让图里伊大区的秋收顺利完成,可还没有好好的喘口气,又该轮到春播了,还好这一次-”AxiKarruslooked atPubLiius, lowers the soundespecially, saidtoTibullus: „ Thurii were also manyonebatch the slavefromLatin, the Syracuseslave, theymustallbe escorted toSardinia, ourThuriitemporarily stoppedpart, expert who theseslavescanhandle the farmland! In additionthese that capturesin the Apuliaarea the enemyfromGreek, the Thuriidistrictcanguarantee that the labor forcedoes not lack, moreovercanprovide the helpto the surroundingarea.
阿西卡卢斯看了看普布利乌斯,特地压低声音,对提布鲁斯说道:“图里伊又多了一批来自拉丁姆的奴隶,还有锡拉库扎的奴隶,本来他们是要被全部送往萨丁尼亚的,咱们图里伊截留了一部分,这些奴隶都是能够打理农田的好手啊!再加上在阿普里亚地区抓获的那些来自希腊本土的敌人,图里伊大区才能保证劳力不缺,而且还可以向周围的地区提供帮助。However, mustregulateso manyslave laboristakes the troublevery much the strenuousmatter, why do youknowonmeso manysoils?

不过,要监管这么多的奴隶劳动是一件很费心费力的事,你知道我身上为什么这么多泥土吗?那是因为我经常要下田亲自做示范,教导他们。如果你们今天早点来到图里伊郊外,就可以看到成百上千的预备士兵和骑兵一队一队的在各个村庄、田地间巡逻,防止这些奴隶逃跑,或者出现其他的意外,那场面是相当的壮观啊!……”AlthoughAxiKarrusmentioned the Romeslave, makingPubLiiusfeelsomewhatawkwardly, butheactuallyheardto be very earnestinone side, andunderstood the informationaboutTheoniamuch.
虽然阿西卡卢斯提及罗马奴隶,让普布利乌斯感到有些尴尬,但他在一旁却听得很认真,并且从中了解到不少关于戴奥尼亚的信息。Tibulluslistens, thensomewhatheavyheartedsaying: „Alwaysuses the kingdomslavesto solve the labor forcedeficientproblem, longthisgets downis not the means!”
提布鲁斯听完,则有些忧心忡忡的说道:“老是使用王国奴隶来解决劳力缺乏的问题,长此下去也不是办法呀!”„Thisnaturallyis onlytemporary.”AxiKarruscontinuedimmediately, does intentionallymysteriouslow voice saying: „Last night, the express steamer that camefrom the southapproaches shorein the harbor, hasmessengergallopto enterinner citycouncil, this morningIobtained the straight tip, followingfew days agoournavyafter the Carthagesea areadefeated the Carthagefleetthoroughly, Davosyour majestyled the main forcearmyto rout the Carthage100,000armiesinSellinNusethoroughly, Carthaginiansfailed badlyagain and again, perhapsthiswarwill endquickly!”
“这当然只是暂时的。”阿西卡卢斯立刻接过话头,故作神秘的小声说道:“昨晚,有一艘从南面来的快船在港口靠岸,有信使疾驰入内城元老院,今天一早我就得到了内幕消息,继前些日子我们的海军在迦太基海域彻底击败迦太基舰队之后,戴弗斯陛下率领主力军队在塞林努斯又彻底击溃了迦太基的10万大军,迦太基人连连遭受惨败,恐怕这场战争很快就会结束了!”PubLiiushearshere, feels the shock: The Romeally, was known as that waswestMediterraneanrichest, most powerfulcity-stateCarthagedefeatsunexpectedlyquickly?!
普布利乌斯听到这里,倍感震惊:罗马的盟友、号称是西地中海最富有、也最强大的城邦迦太基居然这么快就败了?!Tibullusaskedwords that hewantsto ask: „These that yousaidreal?!”
提布鲁斯问出了他想问的话:“你说的这些都是真的吗?!”„Naturallyreal, the newsis absolutely reliable!”AxiKarrus'sassuredsaying: „But, councilhas not announced that todayoutwardthisgoodnews, Iestimated that...... may announcethisgoodnewsat the tomorrow'skingdomcongress! Right, SirPubLiius, you are also attend the kingdomcongress?”
“当然是真的,消息绝对可靠!”阿西卡卢斯笃定的说道:“不过,今天元老院没有向外宣布这一好消息,我估计呀……可能会在明天的王国大会上宣布这一好消息!对了,普布利乌斯大人,你也是来参加王国大会的吧?”„...... ”PubLiiusrecovers.
“啊……是的。”普布利乌斯回过神来。„Hey, yourseveral!”Fronthearsoneto shoutsuddenly.
“嘿,你们几个!”前面突然传来一声大喊。PubLiiuslookedabsent-minded, but alsothinks that was the Romesoldierarrived atThurii, the patrollingsoldier who saw onlyoneteam of redhelmetredarmorwalkeddirectlytowardthem( inspection team was also blackhelmetblackarmor, for these yearschanged toredhelmetredarmor, mainlyseparated outforregimentsoldierswithkingdom, red was quite simultaneously striking, helpedcarry outofficial businessinlarge group ofcity).
普布利乌斯恍惚一看,还以为是罗马士兵来到了图里伊,只见一队红盔红甲的巡察士兵径直向他们走来(巡查队原本也是黑盔黑甲,这几年才改用红盔红甲,主要是为了和王国的军团士兵区分开来,同时红色比较醒目,在人数众多的城市里便于执行公务)。Is the teamofficer of headis sizing up their group of peopleas well asare pullingbehindthatseveralhorseswith a suspicious look, thenserioussaying: „Youhave not seen the pedestrianto be many!

为首的队官用怀疑的目光打量着他们这一群人以及身后牵着的那几匹马,然后神情严肃的说道:“你们没看到行人很多吗!还挡在道路中央不走,阻碍交通,赶紧走!”
