„Because the Theonia games must be held quickly, it is said its scale is big, is not only the domestic each area, all allied countries of kingdom were invited to participate, therefore these days is not only Thurii all restaurants and hotels, these officials and people large number of purchase pottery, are preparing to receive lots of guests during the games.” Shop owner excited saying of: „I also planned to send people to go by boat Athens, informs you to make the best use of the time to make more pottery, ships in the Thurii sell......” “因为戴奥尼亚运动会很快就要举行了,据说它的规模非常大,不光是国内的各个地区,还有王国的所有盟邦都被邀请参加,所以这段时间不光是图里伊的所有餐馆、旅馆,还有那些官员、民众都在大量的购买陶器,准备在运动会期间接待大量的客人。”店主激动的说道:“我本来还打算派人乘船去雅典,告知你抓紧时间制造更多的陶器,运来图里伊出售……” „You do not need to worry, I there obtain the news from Sir Sostratus, has made the arrangement, quick will have more pottery to ship from Athens.” Hess Claus exhibits a confident appearance, and encouragement said: „If then these two months of sales volumes increase suddenly, I will give your pay to turn time.” “你不用担心,我已经从索斯塔图斯大人那里得到了消息,已经做好了安排,很快就会有更多的陶器从雅典运来。”赫斯克劳斯摆出一副胸有成竹的模样,并且勉励道:“如果接下来这两个月销售量猛增,我将给你的薪酬翻倍。” Although Hess Claus is a boss, the shop owner is only his employee, but he spoke the arrogance that with it has not occupied a commanding position completely, even also a little flattered, who without the means called the shop owner is true Thurii indigenous, but wore colored glaze is several years ago Theonia sacred kingdom that joined, he spent the high price to invite the opposite party, was actually bases the Thurii market to play very vital role to his pottery shop. 虽然赫斯克劳斯是老板,店主只是他的雇工,但他与之说话完全没有居高临下的傲慢,甚至还有点讨好,没办法谁叫店主是真正的图里伊土著,而佩琉斯是几年前才加入的戴奥尼亚神圣王国,他是花了大价钱才聘请到对方,却是对他的陶器店立足图里伊市场起到了非常重要的作用。 The shop owners expressed gratitude immediately, simultaneously reminded: „That side Sir Sostratus have sent people to inquire that large stock of goods that several times they want, you looked we do want to send people to inform them immediately?” 店主当即表示了感谢,同时提醒道:“索斯塔图斯大人那边已经几次派人过来询问他们要的那批货到了没有,你看我们要不要立刻派人去通知他们？” Hess Claus pats the forehead: „Considered only a moment ago happily nearly this matter forgetting!” 赫斯克劳斯一拍脑门:“刚才只顾高兴险些把这事给忘了！” Because of the support of Sostratus, has Hess Claus's today, he also wants to continue to depend upon the help of Sostratus, in the future will advance into the Theonia business the high level, where dares to have the half a point to idle, hurries saying: „Right! Right! You send for immediately!” 正是因为索斯塔图斯的扶持,才有赫斯克劳斯的今天,他还想继续依靠索斯塔图斯的帮助,将来跻身戴奥尼亚商界的高层,哪里敢有半分懈怠,赶紧说道:“对！对！你立刻派人去！” Then, he does not attend to wearily, leads the person to be going to give Sostratus that batch of pottery high-quality goods to take out personally from the wooden crate, places in the backyard of pottery shop, sends people to inspect for the opposite party. 说完,他不顾疲劳,亲自带人将要交给索斯塔图斯的那批陶器精品从木箱里取出,摆放在陶器店的后院,供对方派人来查验。 Who knew, passes noon, Sostratus had not sent, Hess Claus does not dare to leave, finally prepared the belt/bring son to arrive at a nearby Cheiristoya restaurant fine food plan only to malinger, has to make the sales clerk buy several bread to cope casually, for this reason Leary Yaaz hugged the duck to blubber, but also was reproven by him. 谁知,过了中午,索斯塔图斯还没有派人来,赫斯克劳斯又不敢离开,结果原本准备带儿子到附近的克莉斯托娅餐厅美餐一顿的计划只能泡汤,只好让店员随便买了几个面包对付,为此利里亚斯抱着鸭子又哭又闹,还被他训斥了一顿。 In the afternoon, the Sostratus subordinate came, gives back to him to bring a good news: Invited him to participate in Sostratus at the banquet evening. 下午,索斯塔图斯的手下过来了,还给他带来一个好消息:邀请他参加索斯塔图斯在晚上举行的宴会。 Hess Claus dances with joy, before a some resentment disappears immediately without a trace. 赫斯克劳斯高兴得手舞足蹈,之前有的一点怨气立刻消失得无影无踪。 Naturally before then, they must complete the regular procedure of this business, the seller lists the price of this batch of cargos, the customer pays money, then the seller put out the payment list that received from the pottery market management place( to say receives, actually must pay money, was only price is not high, after all it was paper does, but now entire Mediterranean also only then the Cheiristoya chamber of commerce of Theonia sacred kingdom can manufacture), the filling in sell the price of cargo type, quantity and sell, both sides signs duplicate, the customer takes one, handed over the administrative office of this/should market, can obtain certain amount the tax reimbursement, but in his hand. The payment kept the administrative office only, as certificate that the end of the month collects taxes. 当然在这之前,他们双方还要完成这趟买卖的正规手续,卖家列出这批货物的价格,买主付钱,然后卖家拿出从陶器市场管理处领取的付款单(说是领取,其实也是要付款的,只是价格不高,毕竟它是纸做的,而现在整个地中海也只有戴奥尼亚神圣王国的克莉斯托娅商会才能制造),填写出售的货物种类、数量和出售的价钱,双方签名一式两份,买主拿着其中的一份,交到该市场的管理处,可以获得一定数额的退税,而他手中的付款单就留在了管理处,作为月底收税的凭证。 The Theonia Department of Commerce adopts this way, making the Theonia people request the payment list when the purchase commodity from the business on own initiative, will hand over the market management place, to obtain extra money, some tax reimbursements that but they will in fact obtain had added to the price of cargo, and when final paying taxes gave back to kingdom Ministry of Finance. 戴奥尼亚商务部采取这种方式,使戴奥尼亚民众在购买商品时会主动向商家索取付款单,交到市场管理处,以获得额外的金钱,但实际上他们获得的这部分退税早就加到了货物的价格中,并且在最后缴税时又还给了王国财政部。 And the Department of Commerce also stipulated: The people can refusing to give the payment single business to report, the administrative office to conduct the heavy fine to it, some wealth that punishes will reward to the people of reporting ; In addition, the buyers and sellers have not conducted the regular purchasing procedure, but conducts the business of safety strip, the people can report, once were proven to be true, reported that the people will also be rewarded. 并且商务部还规定:民众可以对拒绝给付款单的商家进行举报,管理处将对其进行重罚,所罚得的部分钱财将会奖励给举报的民众;此外,买卖双方没有进行正规的购买手续,而是进行暗箱操作的买卖,民众可以进行举报,一经证明属实,举报民众也会得到奖励。 As a result of these strong measures of Department of Commerce, will obey the stipulation to carry out in person overwhelming majorities of Theonia doing business, after all to the small profit, be against the law, punishes and confiscates the property faced with light, heavy eliminates forever in the doing business qualifications of Theonia, even expels the kingdom, that too gain does not equal the loss. 由于商务部的这些严厉的措施,在戴奥尼亚经商的人绝大多数都会遵照规定去执行,毕竟为了一点小小的利润,触犯法律,面临轻者罚没财产,重则永远剥夺在戴奥尼亚的经商资格,甚至逐出王国,那就太得不偿失了。 Therefore, even if Hess Claus's Athens Tao Chang has the Sostratus stock, he still defers to the regular business procedure/program to walk, avoids the known the circumstances of the matter person reported, made he is dirty. 所以,即使是赫斯克劳斯的雅典陶场有索斯塔图斯的股份,他也按照正规的买卖程序走,避免被不知情的人举报,弄得他灰头土脸。 The collecting taxes way that but the Theonia sacred kingdom implements compares the traditional Greece collecting taxes way headed by Athens, is obviously favorable for the merchant, can promote the positive development of commercial, after Theonia and trade of Greek native place comprehensively launches, many Greek merchants are willing to settle down in doing business to Theonia, naturally also has Greek city-state attempt to use this better collecting taxes method, because the national strength is limited, finally also lets it go. 但戴奥尼亚神圣王国所实行的这种收税方式相比较以雅典为首的传统希腊收税方式,明显对商人更有利,更能推动商业的良好发展,所以当戴奥尼亚与希腊本土的贸易全面展开之后,不少希腊商人更愿意到戴奥尼亚来定居经商,当然也有希腊城邦尝试使用这种更好的收税方法,但因为国力有限,最终也不了了之。 Although Hess Claus has opened a shop for more than two years in Thurii under the support of Sostratus, but was invited in his family/home to be a guest for the 1st time, for further deliberation, he decides to prepare ahead of time, is earlier arrives to respect. 赫斯克劳斯虽然在索斯塔图斯的扶持下已经在图里伊开店两年多,但还是第一次被邀请到他家里做客,为了慎重起见,他决定提前准备,早一些到达以示尊重。 After the careful appearance, wears the brand-new clothing, buys the good gift, leads Leary Yaaz, naturally the duck stays in the shop, preparation. 经过精心打扮,穿上崭新服装,购买好礼物,带着利里亚斯,当然鸭子留在店里,就准备出发了。 Because the pottery market is somewhat far from Sostratus , the stream of people are all the way crowded . Moreover the present is in early June, is hot, waited till your family place, perhaps is streaming with sweat and dirty, therefore Hess Claus accepted shop owner's suggestion, hired a sedan chair. 由于陶器市场距离索斯塔图斯有些远,一路上又人流拥挤,而且现在是6月初,天气炎热,等到了府上,恐怕已是汗流浃背、灰头土脸,所以赫斯克劳斯采纳了店主的建议,雇了一顶轿子。 The Sostratus mansion in the eastern outer city area, is very near from the Thurii inner city, initially he gave the kingdom the inner city mansion backcross that father Kunogelata left behind on own initiative, letting the kingdom can very good placement arrive at Thurii Brother Harcar, therefore Davos was very grateful, instructed especially the Thurii city hall „cannot make the Kunogelata son suffer a loss”, according to at that time the difference of inner and outer city walls land price, Sostratus traded area very big place in the outer city area finally. 索斯塔图斯的府邸在东外城区,距离图里伊内城很近,当初他主动将父亲库诺戈拉塔遗留下来的内城府邸回交给王国,让王国能够很好的安置来到图里伊的哈卡兄弟,因此戴弗斯对此很是感激,特地指示图里伊市政厅“不能让库诺戈拉塔的儿子吃亏”,根据当时内外城土地价格的差异,最终索斯塔图斯在外城区换到了面积很大的一块地。 He will put in order a place to complete the house, is divided into two mansions, lives to he himself, gives his younger brother to live, each area of mansion is two times of big of senior statesman dwelling. 他将整块地都建成房屋,分成两个府邸,一个给他自己住,一个给他弟弟住,每一个府邸的面积都是元老宅院的两倍大。 „Welcome! Welcome!” Sostratus hears servant report/give report, personally arrives at the entrance to greet. “欢迎！欢迎！”索斯塔图斯听到奴仆禀报,亲自来到门口迎接。 „Sir Sostratus, feasts to your home for the 1st time, feared that did not know the road is late, therefore came early, but also please excuse me!” Hess Claus's respectful and prudent saying. “索斯塔图斯大人,第一次到贵府赴宴,怕不认识路而迟到,所以来早了一些,还请您见谅！”赫斯克劳斯恭谨的说道。 In fact, Sostratus is only the congressman of president and Thurii City Parliament of Thurii chamber of commerce, does not have any government position in the body, strict „Sir” this title uses on him is inappropriate, but these year of Theonia people gradually use on this official title some public celebrities of noble character and high prestige, making this word start becomes secularization. 实际上,索斯塔图斯只是图里伊商会的会长、图里伊城市议会的议员,没有任何官职在身,严格来说“大人”这个称谓用在他身上并不合适,但这些年戴奥尼亚民众逐渐将这个官方的称谓使用到一些德高望重的社会名流身上,使这个词开始变得世俗化。 „All right, there are several guests to come also early compared with you.” Sostratus beckons with the hand, then sees in Hess Claus behind Leary Yaaz, immediately bends the waist, asking of being radiant with smiles: „little friend, do you name?” “没事的,有好几个客人来得比你还早。”索斯塔图斯摆摆手,然后看到在赫斯克劳斯身后的利里亚斯,立刻弯下腰,笑容可掬的问道:“小朋友,你叫什么名字？” Leary Yaaz shy toward Hess Claus behind hides. 利里亚斯害羞的往赫斯克劳斯的身后躲。 Hess Claus hurries to explain: „Sir, this is my son Leary Yaaz. This he must come Thurii with me time, I do not dare to keep him-” 赫斯克劳斯赶紧解释道:“大人,这是我儿子利里亚斯。这一次他非要跟我来图里伊,我又不敢将他一个人留在-” „Has not related, I had said early can lead the family member to come.” Sostratus is saying with something else in mind, lowering the head funny Leary Yaaz of: „Hey, little fellow, you, if called me an uncle, I gave you a good thing.” “没关系的,我早说过可以带家属来。”索斯塔图斯不以为然地说着,又低下头逗利里亚斯:“嘿,小家伙,你要是叫我一声叔叔,我给你一个好东西。” Leary Yaaz listened, is emboldening to shout one: „...... The uncle is good!” 利里亚斯听了,壮着胆子喊了一声:“……叔叔好！” „Un, good!” A Sostratus satisfactory nod, pulls out a thing from the bosom rapidly, he listened to the servant saying that before Hess Claus takes care of a child to visit, therefore has prepared beforehand: „Look, what is this?” “嗯,不错！”索斯塔图斯满意的一点头,迅速从怀里掏出一个东西,他之前听奴仆说赫斯克劳斯带着一个小孩儿上门,因此事先有所准备:“瞧,这是什么？” Leary Yaaz stares the big eye, looks at the thing in Sostratus hand: A palm of the hand big fine gold metal statue statue, his facial features are handsome, are determined-looking, are holding the football single-handedly, suspends the arm single-handedly, makes forward the gesture of sprint, the entire statue portray is exquisite, lifelike, the tense feeling of watching the competition. 利里亚斯瞪大眼睛,看着索斯塔图斯手中的物件:一个巴掌大的鎏金人物雕像,他五官英俊,神情坚毅,一手抱着橄榄球,一手摆臂,做出向前冲刺的姿态,整个雕像刻画细腻,栩栩如生,给人一种观看比赛的紧张感。 Not was only Leary Yaaz one eyes likes, Hess Claus was also attracted. 不光是利里亚斯一眼就喜欢上了,就连赫斯克劳斯也被吸引。 „Is the Chinese olive star player statue.” Leary Yaaz blurted out. “是橄榄球星雕像。”利里亚斯脱口而出。 After Thessaly was annexed to the Theonia sacred kingdom, football sports also had on Thessaly this land by the Theonia soldiers and immigrants, and quick was all the rage, and with the great support of Thessaly area chief executive Hielos, has started to hold the football competition of entire Thessaly area. 塞萨利被并入戴奥尼亚神圣王国之后,橄榄球这项运动也被戴奥尼亚士兵和移民们带到了塞萨利这块土地上,并且很快就风靡起来,并且在塞萨利地区行政长官希洛斯的大力支持下,已经开始举办整个塞萨利地区的橄榄球比赛。 „This is not the ordinary star player statue!” Sostratus is transferring the statue in hand, said like showing off of child: „This was the entire kingdom most famous Chinese olive star player, sets the record of the kingdom football final to reach a record and great King Davos 3rd son for successive five times- Your Highness Anter Breese, he also most received the star player who the children liked! Moreover, this statue by the mold of kingdom most outstanding sculptor Arui Kaess personally carving, he is also the big King Davos son-in-law. Because this statue the manufacture working procedure is tedious, the output is few, is very difficult to buy in the market.” “这可不是普通的球星雕像哦！”索斯塔图斯转着手中的雕像,像小孩子似的炫耀道:“这可是整个王国最有名的橄榄球星、创下连续五届王国橄榄球总决赛都有达阵的记录、伟大的戴弗斯国王第三个儿子-安特布里斯殿下,他也是最受孩子们喜欢的球星！而且,这个雕像可是由王国最出色的雕刻家阿瑞克斯亲自雕刻的模具,他也是大戴弗斯国王的女婿。这个雕像由于制作工序过于繁琐,产量很少,在市面上很难买到。” After Sostratus spoke these words, stopper of statue in toward Leary Yaaz small hand: „Now it turned over to you.” 索斯塔图斯说完这些话后,把雕像往利里亚斯小手里一塞:“现在它归你了。” „Thanks the uncle!” Leary Yaaz this „expression of gratitude” is from the heart, his impatient start holds appreciatively. “谢谢叔叔！”利里亚斯这一声“道谢”发自内心,他迫不及待的开始把玩。 „This...... this was also too precious.” Hess Claus wants to decline subconsciously. “这……这也太贵重了。”赫斯克劳斯下意识的想要推辞。 „A small gadget.” Appearance that Sostratus does not care about at this moment actually, turns round to say regarding the servant: „Goes to call Saussy Chris.” “一个小玩意儿而已。”索斯塔图斯此刻倒是一副蛮不在乎的样子,回身对于奴仆说道:“去把索西克利斯叫来。” Then he is getting the father and son walks toward the courtyard, while said: „Your this shipping in pottery quality is high, certainly will receive liking of inner city honored people very much! Was lucky you, I now the reputation am very big in several pottery shops in inner city, many merchants are inquiring the source of my pottery......” 然后他领着父子俩一边往院子里走,一边说道:“你这次运来的陶器质量非常高,一定会很受内城贵人们的喜欢！多亏了你呀,我在内城的几家陶器店现在名声很大,不少商人都在打听我陶器的来源……”
