Stands near the broad side, Harcar distant sees the Crati river mouth that long, assumes surrounds shape the white breakwater, innumerable ships shuttle in, as if like a busy honey-comb. 站在船舷边,哈卡远远的就望见克拉蒂河口那长长的、呈环抱状的白色防波堤,无数的船只穿梭其中,仿佛就像一个繁忙的蜂巢。 Waited for the ship to drive discovered near, originally in the breakwater is opening many water gates. 等船驶近了才发现,原来防波堤上开着多个水门。 „All freighters must pass through this one side water gate, obtains the wooden sign of lie wharf, can enter ; But the water gate of that one side breakwater is the freighter that is responsible for inspecting to drive out, furnishes for examination the wharf wooden sign, if not, will be fined. But the steamship like us does not need through the breakwater water gate, but walks the broad canal, accepts the inspection of patrol boat......” captain to answer in detail to Harcar. “所有的货船都要经过这一侧的水门,获得停驻码头的木牌,才能够进入;而那一侧防波堤的水门是负责检查驶出的货船,交验码头木牌,如果没有,就会遭受罚款。但像我们这样的大船则不需要通过防波堤水门,而是走中间宽阔的水道,接受巡逻船的检查……”船长详细的给哈卡解释道。 „Why can do such tediously the entire freighter inspection process? This delayed to come the trade the freighter to put into port the time of delivery!” A Harcar's subordinate hand is pointing at outside the front water gate the long line that becomes by the goods marine railway, raised own objection. “为什么要将整个货船查验过程搞得这么繁琐？这太耽搁前来贸易的货船进港交货的时间了！”哈卡的一名下属手指着前方水门外由货船排成的长龙,提出自己的异议。 „Makes them delay time outside the water gate, always compares them, as soon as supports to enter, creates crowd to the entire Crati river mouth, wastes more time to be much better. You look outside this water gate the ship to be many, actually the ship of Hekouli are more, without the effective management, that will be a disaster!” Ship owner serious saying. “让他们在水门外耽搁一点时间,总比它们一拥而进,对整个克拉蒂河口造成拥堵,浪费更多的时间要好很多。你看着这水门外船很多吧,其实河口里的船更多,如果没有有效的管理,那就将会是一场灾难！”船主神情严肃的说道。 „You said right.” Harcar's nod agreed. “你说的没错。”哈卡点头表示认同。 „ Ship owner directs this big passenger ship to be bypassing before breakwater long line that the ships comprised, enters the middle river course. “船主指挥着这艘大客船绕过防波堤前的一条条由船只组成的长龙,进入中间的河道。 Is floating a very big wooden platform in the center of river course, above constructs a log cabin, before the log cabin, high is fluttering the Kingdom of Theonia flag. 在河道的中央漂浮着一个很大的木制平台,上面建有一个木屋,木屋前高高的飘扬着戴奥尼亚王国的旗帜。 passenger ship anchored on own initiative before the platform, in the log cabin came out a official, he inquired several to the ship owner, and examines document that the ship owner submitted, then looks surprisedly, to jump up immediately passenger ship, arrived in front of Harcar with stride, respectful saluting: „Salutes to you, Sir Harcar!” 客船主动停靠在了平台前,木屋里出来一个官员,他向船主询问了几句,并且查看了船主递交上来的文件,然后面露惊讶,立刻就跳上客船,大步来到哈卡面前,恭敬的行礼:“向您致敬,哈卡大人！” The Harcar also polite nod returns a courtesy. 哈卡也礼貌的点头回礼。 „The news that we receive is, passenger ship that you sit may want in the next two days, therefore today your majesty and council has not possibly prepared, I must send the express steamer to catch up with the inner city wharf to inform, therefore must ask you...... to wait a while here, hopes that you can forgive!” Saying of this/should official apology. “我们接到的消息是,您所坐的客船可能要明后天才到,所以今天陛下和元老院可能都没有准备,我必须得派快船赶完内城码头通知,所以还得请您……在这里多等一会儿,希望您能够原谅！”该官员歉意的说道。 „This does not have the issue.” Harcar agrees. “这没有问题。”哈卡表示同意。 „We are not willing to come, several times is your kings wrote a letter to invite to agree! Now our from afar came from Iberia, you do not make us go, this is the truth of entertaining a guest! Since does not make us enter, we do not go, goes back! Returns to Iberia!......” Cabin entrance is standing Hasdrubal the Fair of swaying, he shouted loudly, appeared angry very much. “我们本来不愿意来,是你们的国王几次写信邀请才同意来的！现在我们千里迢迢的从伊比利亚来了,你们却不让我们进去,这是待客的道理吗！既然不让我们进,那我们就不进去了,回去！回伊比利亚！……”船舱入口站着摇摇晃晃的哈斯德鲁巴,他大喊大叫,显得很是生气。 As soon as the harbor officer listens, was a little hurried, was wanting to continue to explain. 港口官员一听,有点慌了,正想要继续解释。 „You do not need to manage him, he drank, we according to the procedure/program, how should do how do!” Harcar comforts him, while signals with the eyes to own subordinate. “你不用管他,他喝多了,咱们按照程序来,该怎么做就怎么做！”哈卡一边安慰他,一边向自己的手下使了个眼色。 Quick, his subordinate led several strong soldiers to hold the cabin Hasdrubal the Fair forcefully. 很快,他的手下带着几名强壮的士兵将哈斯德鲁巴强行扶进了船舱。 passenger ship anchored in the rear area of wooden platform, that harbor officer also accompanied specially side Harcar, chatted with him, to pass time of waiting. 客船停靠在了木制平台的后方,那名港口官员还专门陪在哈卡身边,同他聊天,以度过等待的时间。 Harcar Station in the bow, looks that ships have delimited, impressively discovery this that position named river mouth ships direction place, rear area, left side and right side does not stand still from the front very ingenious: The dead ahead is the estuary, the left and right slanting front is the breakwater and water gate, the north side river bank is the Thurii main Port entrance, the rear area to lead to the Thurii city, all ships interlocks the gathering here, therefore this river mouth ships administration center 10 express steamers, on the ship's sail have the striking symbol specially, is responsible for directing and dredging the river course. 哈卡站在船头,看着一艘艘船只从前方、后方、左侧、右侧不停歇的划过,赫然发现这个叫河口船只指挥处的位置非常的巧妙:正前方是出海口,左、右斜前方是防波堤和水门,北侧河岸是图里伊主港入口,后方通向图里伊城,所有的船只都在此处交错汇聚,因此这个河口船只管理所专门有十艘快船,船帆上有醒目的标志,负责指挥和疏通河道。 Although the ships contact is frequent, the river course noise makes Harcar feel noisily somewhat ill, but he does not have to hide in the cabin again, but quite interested asking: „How many freighters every day enters the Crati river mouth to have?” 尽管船只往来频繁、河道喧嚣嘈杂让哈卡感到有些不适,但他没有再躲进船舱,而是颇有兴趣的问道:“每一天进入克拉蒂河口有多少货船？” „Average...... has about 5000.” Official thinks saying: At most can achieve over ten thousand, but that generally during the Hades celebration. ” “平均下来……有5000艘左右。”官员想了想说道:最多的时候能达到上万艘,不过那一般都是在哈迪斯庆典期间。” Although Harcar had estimated that but had a scare by this number: „So many ships?!” 尽管哈卡对此有所估计,但还是被这数字吓了一跳:“这么多船？！” „ Naturally, this is also only enters the Crati river mouth the freighter quantity, has not been counted other Sybaris coast harbors ships, for example does not have a very big fishing port north Hekou, every day over a thousand fishing boats there turnover, provide the fresh marine product for the entire Thurii area's people ; But specifically is also used to transport the domestic animal in the north harbor of close neighbor fishing port ; Is transformed to supply the people transportation contact south of the naval base of Hekou, original 1st fleet now specially the harbor, many houses in original naval base were remodelled into the hotel, daily is fully occupied, passenger ship that every day passes in and out also over thousand...... “当然,这还只是进入克拉蒂河口的货船数量,并没有算上绪巴里海岸其他港口的船只,比如在河口以北不远有一个很大的渔港,每天有上千艘渔船在那里进出,为整个图里伊地区的民众提供新鲜的海产;而在紧邻渔港的北面还有一个港口专门用来运输牲畜;在河口以南、原来第一舰队的海军基地现在被改造成了专门供民众交通往来的港口,原海军基地的不少住宅都被改造成了旅馆,天天人满为患,每天进出的客船也在千艘以上…… But the freighter of Crati river mouth turnover mainly supplies the commodity that the people daily life needs, for example the wine, olive oil, cloth and wheat...... ” official are saying in detail, sees Harcar's some facial expression as if also doubts, explained especially: „Sir, Thurii these harbors are so busy, that is if this, is unable to support Thurii.” 而克拉蒂河口进出的货船主要是供应民众日常生活所需的商品,比如葡萄酒、橄榄油、布匹、小麦……”官员详细的说着,见哈卡的神情似乎还有些疑惑,又特地解释道:“大人,图里伊的这些港口之所以都这么繁忙,那是因为如果不这样,就无法养活图里伊。” „Why?” Although Harcar had guessed, but he still gets to the bottom. “为什么？”哈卡虽有所猜测,但他依然刨根问底。 „Because the Thurii population were too many, according to the statistics of the end of last year household register section, was only the Thurii city and peripheral has the population approximately 300,000, but the entire Thurii area population surpassed 400,000, which city also had to have the Thurii city in Mediterranean to be like this huge!” The pride on the official face brimming with, then said: „ But so many population, must consume a lot of commodities every day, the grain, olive oil, wine, meats and fish...... wait/etc, the goods of freighter transportation almost by ‚ton’ as the basic record unit, only by the grain, olive oil as well as other commodities that the Sybaris plain and neighboring region produce are not enough, needs the entire kingdom, and even entire west Mediterranean supplies. “因为图里伊的人口太多了,根据去年底户籍部的统计,光是图里伊城及周边就有人口约30万,而整个图里伊地区人口超过了40万,在地中海还有哪一座城市能有图里伊城这样庞大！”官员脸上洋溢的自豪,接着说道:“但是这么多的人口,每天要消耗大量的物资,粮食、橄榄油、葡萄酒、肉类、鱼类……等等,货船运输的物品几乎都是以‘吨’作为基本的记录单位,仅靠绪巴里平原和周边地区所生产的粮食、橄榄油以及其他物资是远远不够的,需要整个王国、乃至整个西地中海来供应。 Moreover, the Thurii city wealthy citizens are many, they may so long as, not only eats to the full to put in the line, is higher to the demand of life, therefore many precious commodities ship here from other Mediterranean areas, for example spice from Persia, magnificent cloth as well as fine silver jewelry, perfume from Egypt and cosmetics, ivory and marble from Greek from Africa......, therefore, the Thurii merchant ship will have every day, causing our original main ports unable to hold, can only also build up the wharf in both banks of river course, this met the need...... ” 而且,图里伊城富裕的公民很多,他们可不只是只要吃饱穿好就行,对生活的需求更高,因此还有不少珍贵的商品从地中海其他地区运来这里,比如来自波斯的香料、华丽的布匹以及精致的金银首饰,来自埃及的香水、化妆品,来自阿非利加的象牙、来自希腊本土的大理石……所以,每天来图里伊的商船才会有如此之多,导致我们原来的主港已经无法容纳,只能在河道的两岸也建起码头,这才满足了需求……” Listens attentively to narration of official, the eye is looking at the corner in left side Crati river north bank main port, there mast such as the forest and mast scull such as, cannot see a sea water completely the color. 倾听着官员的讲述,眼望着左侧克拉蒂河北岸主港的一隅,那里桅杆如林、樯橹如地,完全看不到一丝海水的颜色。 In Harcar's mind appeared in the past the Carthage harbor scene, in his mind, even when the Carthage sea trade were most prosperous, cannot reach today the Thurii harbor scale by far, this not only to satisfy giant cities that had 400,000 population result that needs to create, was powerful kingdom development of all-round strength, this made the decision that Harcar strengthened himself to make initially correct. 哈卡的脑海中不由浮现出往昔迦太基港口的情景,在他的印象中,即使是在迦太基海贸最繁荣的时候,也远远达不到今天图里伊港口的规模,这不仅仅是为了满足一个拥有40万人口的巨大城市的需要而造成的结果,更是一个强大王国的综合实力的展现,这更让哈卡坚定了自己当初所做出的决定是正确的。 Two people are speaking, the surrounding noise sound increased suddenly. 两人正说着话,周围的喧嚣声陡然间变大了。 The river course official swept one backward, immediately looks the happy expression, said: „Sir Harcar, greeted your ship to come!” 河道官员向后扫了一眼,立刻面露喜色,说道:“哈卡大人,迎接您的船已经来了！” Harcar turns head to look, sees only the upstream front surface to drive a steamship, its hull is seemed like by two warship splicing, the above center is standing erect a wooden ceiling...... 哈卡扭头回望,只见上游迎面驶来一艘大船,它的船体看起来似乎是由两艘战船拼接而成,上方中央矗立着一座木楼…… Double headed dragon! In Harcar's mind flashes through such a noun immediately, but this was different from once Carthage navy flagship obviously: It is the black hull, the wooden ceiling is the red, two bows have not hit the corner/horn, instead turned upwards two wooden statues, probably dog head ; Stands fabric attires, to wear the palace guard of purple robe on wooden ceiling all around ship's railing aisle, on the mast of standing tall and erect is fluttering the Theonia kingdom flag. 双头龙！哈卡的脑海里立刻闪过这样一个名词,但显然这一艘跟曾经的迦太基海军旗舰有所不同:它是黑色的船体,木楼则是红色,两个舰首没有撞角,反而翘起了两个木制的雕像,好像是狗头;在木楼四周的船栏走道上站立着一个个一身绒装、身披紫袍的宫廷卫士,高耸的桅杆上飘扬着戴奥利亚王国旗帜。 After west Mediterranean war, the military affairs section considered that makes a place ship to King Davos specially, when to facilitate he goes on an inspection tour or leads to go to battle rides, otherwise takes passenger ship or the warship as before each time, is extremely crude, does not conform to his honored King status. 在西地中海战争之后,军务部就考虑给戴弗斯国王专门制造一艘座舰,以方便他出巡或领军出征时乘坐,否则像以前一样每次都乘坐客船或者战船,太过简陋,也不符合他尊贵的王者身份。 After the shipwrights receive the duty, after discussed in every way, finally determined uses the Carthage double headed dragon warship to make the sitting ship of king as the main source, considering that this ships will pass and out Crati river frequently, but also the minification of entire warship. 船匠们接到任务之后,经过多方讨论,最终确定以迦太基的双头龙战船为蓝本制造国王的坐舰,考虑到这艘舰船会经常进出克拉蒂河,还将整个战船的尺寸缩小了一些。 It presents the image in Harcar field of vision finally, although, since it completes, the opportunity of departing are not quite many, whole time anchor the wharf in inner city, but it in the Thurii people have been well-known, therefore the ships in river course depend toward the two sides as far as possible, entire central canal very quickly changes broad unobstructedly. 它最终就是呈现在哈卡视野中的这个形象,虽然自它建成之后,出航的机会并不太多,大部分时间都停靠在内城的码头,但它在图里伊民众中早已是家喻户晓,所以河道中的船只都尽量往两边靠,整个中央水道很快变得宽阔通畅。 Riding the ship is quick by passenger ship that in Harcar rides stops, then had the wooden ladder to build, those who stepped onto passenger ship was one wears to embroider the black mark the white Burton's middle-aged man, his figure was lanky, the makings were elegant. 坐舰很快在哈卡所乘坐的客船旁停住,然后就有木梯搭了上来,走上客船的是一位身穿绣有黑纹的白色波顿的中年男子,他身形瘦长,气质文雅。 At this time, the river course official moves forward to meet somebody immediately, respectful saluted saying: „Salutes to you, Sir Henie Polis!” 这时,河道官员立刻迎了上去,恭敬的行礼说道:“向您致敬,赫尼波里斯大人！” The middle-aged man is smiling returning a courtesy: „good work!” 中年男子微笑着回礼:“辛苦了！” He is Henie Polis...... Harcar had certainly heard this follows year to year in King Davos Theonia senior statesman. 他就是赫尼波里斯……哈卡当然听说过这位常年跟随在戴弗斯国王身边的戴奥尼亚元老。 When he takes a look at this king trusted aide, Henie Polis smiling arrives in front of him: „Sir Harcar, welcome you to return to Thurii! I am King Davos law clerk Henie Polis, represents the king and council, comes to greet you!” 就在他打量这位国王心腹的时候,赫尼波里斯一脸微笑的来到他面前:“哈卡大人,欢迎你回到图里伊！我是戴弗斯国王的书记官赫尼波里斯,代表国王陛下和元老院,前来迎接你！” „I look at «south intent War Recording» that several Sir Henie Polis has written, very splendid! Has wanted with the Sir met well to chat, today sees, really with same- the stop that” Harcar who I imagined intended, then said with emphasis: „Polite scholarly, worthily is a history scholar!” “我看过好几遍赫尼波里斯大人写的《南意战记》,非常的精彩！早就想和大人见面好好的聊一聊,今天一见,果然跟我想象的一样-”哈卡有意的停顿了一下,然后加重语气说道:“温文儒雅,不愧是一名历史学者！”
