„, Right.” Burkes also reminded one: „Our Ministry of Agriculture has investigated the Thurii, Crotone, Grumentum, Cosenza, Locri and other City People family's specially the grain storage situations, their grain are most to maintain in November!” “哦,对了。”布尔科斯又提醒了一句:“我们农务部专门调查过图里伊、克罗托内、格鲁门图姆、科森扎、洛克里等城市民众家里的储粮情况,他们的粮食最多能维持到11月！” „Sicily situation how?” Aantaa Orris asked one. “西西里的情况怎么样？”安塔奥利斯问了一句。 „Sicily the rainwater is abundant this year. Catania and grain harvests of Naxos these cities should not have the issue.” Burkes replied. “西西里今年雨水充沛。卡塔奈、那克索斯这些城市的谷物丰收应该没有问题。”布尔科斯回答。 „Campania?” “坎帕尼亚呢？” „The farmland situation in that area is good.” Reminded after Androlis, Burkes continued saying: „Carthage of Africa does not have the drought situation to appear, only then Greece and Peloponnese area meet with our same situations, their situations must be slightly lighter.” “那个地区的农田情况还不错。”经安塔奥里斯提醒,布尔科斯继续说道:“阿非利加的迦太基也没有干旱的情况出现,只有中希腊和伯罗奔尼撒地区遇到和我们相同的情况,不过他们的情况要稍微轻一些。” The Davos hear subordinate report, the finger does not control self is tapping the desktop, complexion same some are unattractive. But quick, he stretched the brow, said slowly: „Ascends the sky Yin clear uncertain, the person has the imminent fortune and misfortune, various God is impossible to look after our Theonia forever, drought that these will soon raid test on our kingdom. However we have what are good to be afraid! We are prepared early, not! Before the council conference, was not always some people said that these granaries that ‚we constructed besides supplied the regiment to go to war occasionally, whole time in vain vacant there, wasted completely.’ However this time, these seem like that the waste granary will save the lives of our over a million Theonia people!” 戴弗斯听完属下的汇报,手指不自禁的轻敲着桌面,脸色同样有些不好看。但很快,他又舒展了眉头,缓缓说道:“上天阴晴不定,人有旦夕祸福,诸神不可能永远照顾我们戴奥尼亚,这一场即将袭来的旱灾正是对我们王国的考验。但是我们有什么好害怕的！我们早有准备,不是吗！以前在元老院会议上,不是总有人说,‘我们建的那些粮仓除了偶尔供应军团打仗之外,大部分时间都白白空置在那里,完全是浪费。’而这一次,这些看似浪费的粮仓将会拯救我们上百万戴奥尼亚民众的生命！” The Davos words make Lysias, Mersis and the others feel ashamed. 戴弗斯的话让吕西阿斯、梅尔西斯等人感到羞愧。 Small struck, Davos continued to ask: „Burkes, you have conducted the statistics, how much time our kingdom can the grain in these granaries maintain south intent area people edible?” 小小的敲打了一下,戴弗斯继续问道:“布尔科斯,你有没有做过统计,咱们王国的这些粮仓中的谷物能维持南意地区民众多少时间的食用？” Burkes is prepared early, his sinking sound said: „Your majesty, our kingdom altogether nine big granaries, they respectively are located in Grumentum, Thurii, Cosenza, Crotone, Terina, Locri, Catania, Rudiae and Erwei Umm( they to correspond the stations of 10 big regiments now respectively), approximately altogether has the grain 100,000 tons, south intent area population about 1.5 million, if according to everyone one day two, maintains the warm and sufficient condition merely, approximately can guarantee six months of food supplies.” 布尔科斯对此早有准备,他沉声说道:“陛下,现在我们王国总共有九大粮仓,它们分别位于格鲁门图姆、图里伊、科森扎、克罗托内、特里纳、洛克里、卡塔奈、乌迪埃、斯尔维乌姆(它们分别对应十大军团的驻地),大约共有粮食10万吨,南意地区人口大约150万,如果按照每人一天两顿,仅仅维持温饱的话,大约能保证六个月的粮食供应。” „Six months! These grain are unable to supply the people to eat to next year fall harvest!” Vespa sighed. “才六个月！这些粮食无法供应民众食用到明年的秋收啊！”韦斯巴叹道。 Several other rotating presidents looked at his one eyes. 其他几位轮值主席看了他一眼。 Marigi is to prevent him is awkward, immediately explains: „A few years ago the citizens because of the successive years of harvest, the sell grain made a lot of money, the poor citizen is few. The grain in our granary is not the free supply to them, but sells in the market by a low price, letting them to afford, to pass this difficulty, prevents the grain merchant to raise the grain price by this taking this opportunity crazily, thus creates the people scared......” 马里吉为防止他尴尬,立刻解释道:“前些年公民们因为连年丰收,出售粮食赚了不少钱,贫困的公民很少。我们粮仓里的谷物不是无偿的供应给他们,而是以一个较低的价格在市场上售卖,让他们都能买得起,以度过这个难关,以此来防止粮商借此机会疯狂抬高粮食价格,从而造成民众的恐慌……” Davos hesitates saying: „100,000 tons grain slightly obviously insufficient, select to have the adequate grain reserves to deal with this forthcoming drought. Moreover we must reserve enough wheat seed for next year sowing seeds, therefore Mersis you must not spread before the news, the use state treasury, sends people Carthage and Cyrenaica, even Egypt to purchase a lot of grain.” 戴弗斯沉吟道:“10万吨的谷物还是稍显不够,挑们必须要有充足的粮食储备来应付这即将到来的旱灾。而且我们还要为明年的播种蓄留足够的麦种,因此梅尔西斯你要趁着消息还没传开之前,动用国库,派人到迦太基、昔兰尼加、甚至埃及去购买大量的谷物。” „Good, your majesty, I manage immediately!” Simple that very Mersis replied, did not have hesitant and shifts responsibility onto others, because he knows that this was the most important important matter of kingdom. “好的,陛下,我马上去办！”梅尔西斯回答的很干脆,一点儿也没犹豫和推诿,因为他知道这是王国的首要大事。 „ Marigi, your Department of Commerce must tightly control to the markets of various cities, making the grain merchant that sells the grain sell the grain by the right price, can not throw the market recklessly, raises the price...... regarding disregarding the warning blindly, the grain merchant that insists on acting unreasonably, allowing the Department of Commerce union court to conduct the harsh punishment to it! “马里吉,你们商务部要对各城市的市场严格加以管制,让出售谷物的粮商以合适的价格售卖粮食,不得肆意扰乱市场,盲目抬高价格……对于无视警告、执意乱来的粮商,允许商务部联合法院对其进行严厉的处罚！ Meanwhile, you must cooperate with the chief executives in various cities, when the grain of sell granary, must check the status of buyer, per day per person only permits purchase certain amount the grain, cannot surpass, must prevent the people quantity the grain that resells the granary, takes the opportunity to get rich, like the behavior despicable person discovered that punishes severely one! ” 同时,你们要与各城市的行政长官通力协作,在出售粮仓的粮食时,要核对购买者的身份,每人每天只准购买一定数额的谷物,不能超过,要防止有人大量倒卖粮仓的粮食,借机发财,像这样行为卑劣的人发现一个、重惩一个！” „I understood, your majesty!” Marigi similarly is serious. “我明白了,陛下！”马里吉同样是神情严肃。 „Burkes!” Davos turns to the agricultural affairs minister: „Now the drought approaches, the rivers shoal, function big weakening of waterwheel, must solve the problem of people drinking water, digging a well is a very good solution. You and build the section to cooperate, unearths the deep well in various cities, the issue that the solution people water shortage.” “布尔科斯！”戴弗斯又转向农务大臣:“现在旱灾来临,河流变浅,水车的作用大大的减弱,要解决民众吃水的问题,挖井是一个很好的解决办法。你们和营造部要通力合作,在各城市挖掘深井,解决民众缺水的问题。” „Good, your majesty, I one will hurry to build the section!” Burkes look slightly clearing weather. “好的,陛下,我一会就赶去营造部！”布尔科斯神色稍霁。 The Davos vision falls on five rotating presidents finally: „Sir, council needs to hold the conference urgently, discussed as soon as possible the proposal that deals with the drought, to remind the people to save the grain in the following time, water saving, and must stockpile the water at home...... simultaneously, but must comfort them not to use startled, stays calm, has blessing of Hades, has the full power of kingdom to assist, they will certainly get through this difficult time!” 戴弗斯的目光最后落在五位轮值主席身上:“诸位大人,元老院需要紧急召开会议,尽快商讨出一个应对旱灾的提案,以提醒民众在接下来的时间里要节省粮食,节约用水,并且还要在家里多储备水……同时,还要宽慰他们不用惊慌,保持镇静,有哈迪斯的庇佑,有王国的全力相助,他们一定会渡过这个难关！” „Your majesty, we hold the conference in the afternoon.” Cornelius gives the answer immediately. “陛下,我们下午就召开会议。”科尔内鲁斯立刻作出答复。 Davos nods, the vision has swept everyone present, in their dignified facial expressions shows anxiously, therefore he asked loudly: „Lysias, 25 years ago Magna Graecia has the drought time, how do you deal?” 戴弗斯点点头,目光扫过在座的每一个人,他们凝重的神情中又透出紧张,于是他大声问道:“吕西阿斯,25年前大希腊发生旱灾的时候,你们是怎么应对的？” „Your majesty.” Lysias recalled then situation, on the face revealed the color of several points of pain: „At that time the Crotone people collection gold and silver, bought the grain to Carthage, but sly Carthaginians knows that we presented the drought, immediately turns several times the grain price. Therefore we cannot buy more grain, the powwow do not have the means that has through the ballot, to send Iberia to colonize some people, the people that afterward these went out die of the Iberia indigenous attack......” “陛下。”吕西阿斯回忆起当时的情形,脸上露出了几分痛苦之色:“当时克罗托内的民众筹集金银,到迦太基去买粮,可狡猾的迦太基人知道我们出现了旱灾,立刻将谷物价格翻了数倍。所以我们没能买到更多的粮食,议事会没有办法,只好通过抽签,将部分民众派到伊比利亚去殖民,后来这些出去的民众都死于伊比利亚土著的袭击……” „Yes! The country small strength is weak, comes across such disaster only to bear the pain that the relatives and friends leave and are with one's family broken up and decimated. However Kingdom of Theonia is capable of making kingdom's each people families not need to withstand such misery. We must see this time drought are the misdemeanors, but also is the good deed! It will make these be also infatuated in the original city-state long history, presumptuously thinks the city independent a small number of people to see clearly and wants understand, stays in such a having solid national strength kingdom, can guarantee safe passed each nature and man-made disaster time, their homelands will obtain the long-time peace!” “是啊！国小力弱,遇到这样的天灾就只能忍受亲朋离别、家破人亡的痛苦。但是戴奥尼亚王国有能力让王国的每一个民众家庭不用承受这样的苦难。我们要看到这次的旱灾是坏事,但也是好事！它会让那些还醉心于原来城邦悠久历史、妄想着城市独立的少数民众看清楚、想明白,只有呆在这样一个国力雄厚的王国中,才能保证平安的度过每一次的天灾人祸,他们的家园才会获得长久的安宁！” The Davos words rouse spirit of the senior statesmen present, arouses their resonance, tried hard for more than ten years in this regime unique kingdom, Lysias that even if joins most late still approves this powerful country more and more. 戴弗斯的话语振奋起在座元老们的精神,更是激起他们的共鸣,在这个政体独特的王国里努力了十多年,即使是最晚加入的吕西阿斯也越来越认同这个强大的国家。 .................................... ……………………………… After Davos sends off Cornelius them, but also without he gasped for breath, Aristias walked: „Your majesty, the intelligence department spread the related Rome news from north.” 戴弗斯送走科尔内鲁斯他们之后,还没等他喘口气,阿里司提拉斯就走了进来:“陛下,情报部从北面传来了有关罗马的消息。” Hears Rome, Davos braces oneself immediately, is busy at asking: „What situation?” 一听到罗马,戴弗斯立刻提起精神,忙问道:“什么情况？” „Rome south Volscians ( Wolsci ) unites the invitation of Rome east Aequians ( Aequi ) and southeast Hernicans ( Hernic ) rebelled Rome Latin allied country Praeneste ( Praeneste ), invaded the Rome territory, its military has about 20,000 people.” “罗马南面的沃尔西人(Wolsci)联合罗马东面的埃奎人(Aequi)、东南面的赫尔尼基人(Hernic)受叛乱的罗马拉丁盟邦普里尼斯特(Praeneste)的邀请,入侵了罗马的领地,据悉其兵力约有两万人。” Praeneste? Davos thinks, in the mind no impression, turns round to say „Henie to law clerk Hernipolis immediately, goes to bring central Italy map.” 普里尼斯特？戴弗斯想了想,脑海里没有什么印象,立刻回身对书记官赫尼波利斯说道“赫尼,去把意大利中部地图拿来。” The map was placed on the desk, Davos lowered the head to examine carefully, finally found this Latin city-state position: Praeneste situated in the Rome southeast more than 60 li (0.5 km) and close to mountain ridge big Latin city-state, it the entrance of lowland in the mountain ridges, holds exactly path that enters Aequians and Hernicans. In turn in other words its revolting can let Aequians and Hernicans can easily invade the Rome Latin allied country, and threatens the Rome city...... 地图摆在了办公桌上,戴弗斯低头细看,终于找到了这座拉丁城邦的位置:普里尼斯特是位于罗马东南方60多里、靠近山岭的一座较大的拉丁城邦,它恰好是在山岭间低地的入口,扼守着进入埃奎人和赫尔尼基人的通路。反过来就是说它的叛变会让埃奎人和赫尔尼基人可以轻易的侵入罗马的拉丁盟邦,并威胁到罗马城本身…… „Rome the army that went to its north, to attack Itter Rougnat moves?” Davos also asked. “罗马前往其北方、进攻伊特鲁尼亚的部队都调回来了吗？”戴弗斯又问道。 „Temporarily has not received the message.” Aristias replied. “暂时还没收到消息。”阿里司提拉斯回答。 Davos feels the chin, is lost in thought. 戴弗斯摸着下巴,陷入沉思。 In Theonia three years of ( i.e. 390 B. C. ), occupied in northern Italy Po upstream basin Celtic king Brennus united most Celtic tribes, invaded the south Itter Rougnat person on a large scale. 在戴奥尼亚三年(即公元前390年),盘踞在意大利的北方波河上游流域的凯尔特王布伦努斯联合了大部分的凯尔特部落,大举入侵了南面的伊特鲁尼亚人。 They are easily accomplished, defeat many Itter Rougnat's influence, attacks and occupies many cities. In they start to besiege the Clusium ( Clusium ) city, sends out the army to come to rescue as Rome of allied country, finally Celts and Rome army conducted the battle near the Aria River, finally Rome disastrous defeat. 他们一路摧枯拉朽,击败众多伊特鲁尼亚的势力,攻占不少城镇。就在他们开始围攻克禄西姆(Clusium)城时,作为盟邦的罗马派出军队前来救援,结果凯尔特人和罗马军队在阿里亚河附近进行了会战,最终罗马惨败。 What Davos does not know, because in this does not have the envoy who Dionysius sends misleads( Dionysius dead two years ago in the Pharacidas hand), Celts has not attacked regardless the Itter Rougnat cities along the way, advances by rushes fast, presses up to under the Rome city, but continues to murder and plunder, two months later crossed Tiber. 戴弗斯不知道的是,由于在这一世没有狄奥尼修斯派遣的使者的蛊惑(狄奥尼修斯在两年前死于菲比达斯手中),凯尔特人并没有抛开沿途的伊特鲁尼亚城镇不去攻打,快速急进,直逼到罗马城下,而是继续一路杀伐、一路抢掠,直到两个多月之后才渡过了台伯河。 This time Rome city wall was worn-out, will not have put in order the Rome city complete encystation, in addition the young adults in city had half dead in battle or be wounded, most civilians in several years ago, because the conflict of aristocrats and civilians was separated from the Rome city finally angrily, went to like the city settling down. Therefore, this is in the Rome city the sufficient military has not defended, weak, is not willing to leave the native land except for minority old person old strength, the small number of people are willing to persevere, in Capitoli protects outside the city, most people have to withdraw from the Rome city. 这个时候的罗马城墙破旧,甚至还没有将整座罗马城区完全包绕,再加上城市的青壮年有一半都战死或负伤,还有大部分的平民在前几年因为贵族与平民的矛盾冲突最终愤然脱离了罗马城,前往维爱城定居。因此,这是罗马城内已经没有足够的兵力进行防御,除了少数老人年老力弱、不愿离开故土,还有少数人愿意坚守在卡皮托利卫城外,大部分民众不得不撤离罗马城。 Part of people went to love, a small number went to south a Rome Latin city to call Ardea ( Ardea ). Once attacked and captured love, actually because to be falsely accused pursued Rome star Camillus lives in seclusion here. 其中一部分人去了维爱,还有少部分人去了罗马南部的一个拉丁姆城市叫阿迪(Ardea)。曾经攻克维爱、却因受诬陷而被驱逐的罗马名将卡米卢斯就隐居在这里。 Celts seizes the Rome city with ease, slaughtered the old person in city, but protects the city actually for a long time unable to capture to precipitous but strategically important Capitoli, has its surrounding, to send other armies to go to the surrounding local collection grain and fodder simultaneously, therefore the cities and village of Latin area devastation. 凯尔特人轻松占领罗马城,屠杀了城内的老人,但对地势险要的卡皮托利卫城却久攻不下,只好将其包围,同时派其他部队前往周围地区征收粮草,于是拉丁姆地区的城镇和乡村惨遭蹂躏。
