Since these two most important Thurii big merchants chose giving precedence out of courtesy, Sostratus also no longer declines. Time that he stands, other merchants stopped the confidence, on the face have the respect, dedicated listened to him to speak, this respect not only because of his background, because of his ability, although his age was in these merchants is youngest. 既然这两位最重要的图里伊大商人都选择了礼让,索斯塔图斯也不再推辞。他站起来的时候,其他商人都停止了私语,脸上带着尊敬,专注的听他说话,这种尊敬不光因为他的背景,更因为他自身的能力,虽然他的年纪是这些商人中最年轻的。 „, I made a long story short, in order to avoid delayed the time that everyone made money.” Sostratus just a speech, the surroundings exuded the laughter. “诸位,我就长话短说,以免耽搁大家挣钱的时间。”索斯塔图斯刚一说话,周围就发出笑声。 „After we spend the grain of high price purchase transports/fortunes but actually the harbor, your majesty summoned me, expressed gratitude for our generous donations, simultaneously he added that because just had this batch of grain, enabled him to have the opportunity, personally led the army to subjugate Rome of central Italy, he hopes that our these donated the Thurii merchant of grain to follow his army to go to battle together-” “我们花大价钱购买的粮食运倒港口后,陛下就召见了我,对我们的慷慨捐赠表示了感谢,同时他还说,正因为有了这批粮食,也使他有了机会,亲自率领大军去征讨意大利中部的罗马,他希望我们这些捐赠了粮食的图里伊商人能够跟随他的大军一起出征-” „What?! We donated so many grain, but must make us go to battle , to continue to provide the military supplies for the army!” Wine merchant Carl Manders has not waited for Sostratus saying that on discontented shouting. “什么？！我们都捐赠了这么多粮食了,还要让我们出征,继续为军队提供军资！”葡萄酒商人卡尔曼德斯还未等索斯塔图斯说完,就不满的喊道。 „Shut up, Carl Manders!” Sostratus is staring him, warned: „No matter you stemming from are based on other what reason stupidly, do not speak again insult great King Davos, otherwise get lost from here!” “闭嘴,卡尔曼德斯！”索斯塔图斯瞪着他,警告道:“不管你是出于愚蠢、还是出于别的什么原因,不要再出言侮辱伟大的戴弗斯国王,否则就从这里滚出去！” „Right, great King Davos cannot be deceived!” Tios also emphasized in one side loudly, causes the people should with. “没错,伟大的戴弗斯国王不容亵渎！”提奥斯在一旁又大声的强调了一句,引得众人的应和。 Kingdom of Theonia merchants mostly to the King Davos unusual respect, is not only bank's business that to the kingdom because his wife Cheiristoya sets up plays the huge impetus, but also the new business management pattern and workshop fine division of labor of its invention the business of flow to Theonia is an unprecedented innovation, therefore some merchants even think that Davos is not only the Hades descendant, but also obtained care of Hermes. 戴奥尼亚王国的商人们大多对戴弗斯国王非常的尊敬,不仅是因为他的妻子克莉斯托娅设立的银行对王国的商业起到了巨大的推动作用,而且其发明的新的商业管理模式和工场精细分工的流程对戴奥尼亚的商业是一个前所未有的革新,因此一些商人甚至认为戴弗斯不光是哈迪斯的后裔,而且得到了赫尔墨斯的眷顾。 „Carl Manders your majesty has not disrespected to Davos absolutely, he worried must conduct the endless donation for going to battle of army.” Shipbuilding merchant Mick Reyes argued for his good friend. “卡尔曼德斯绝对没有对戴弗斯陛下不敬,他只是担心还要为大军的出征进行无休止的捐赠。”造船商人米克瑞斯为其好友辩解道。 Mick Reyes is Arney Luse's younger male cousin, Carl Manders is Rifes's son, these two are the original Thurii renowned families, has the relations by marriage to relate, the communication is really dense. Initially because of a Pollux case, Arney Luse and Rifes was involved to be imprisoned, but his family and industry too had not been affected greatly, but the position politically suffered a disastrous decline, unavoidably in the heart will have the illness. In fact, Arney Luse and Rifes because prison term full, several years ago is released, because of the influence of that scandal, for the family, they are not suitable to appear in public again. 米克瑞斯是恩阿尼卢斯的堂弟,卡尔曼德斯是奥里菲斯的儿子,这两家都是原图里伊的著名家族,有姻亲关系,来往甚密。当初因为波吕克西斯一案,恩阿尼卢斯和奥里菲斯都受牵连而被监禁,但其家族和产业并未受到太大影响,只是在政治上的地位一落千丈,难免心中会有不适。实际上,恩阿尼卢斯和奥里菲斯都因为刑期已满、几年前就获得释放,但因为那个丑闻的影响,为了家族,他俩已经不适合再抛头露面。 „It seems like you really stupid!” Slave merchant Nuse Station gets up, before he is, urged the person of Sostratus speech. “看来你俩是真的愚蠢！”奴隶商人塞柏努斯站起来,他就是之前催促索斯塔图斯说话的人。 This merchant tall, the speech also likes irritating the nose, but everyone is still willing to be intimate with him , because he can always provide the satisfying slave, the enormous demand of Kingdom of Theonia to slave enables to have Nuse who the rich slave originates to earn full. 这位商人长得五大三粗,说话也爱呛人,但大家仍然愿意与他亲近,是因为他总能提供让人满意的奴隶,戴奥尼亚王国对奴隶的极大需求使得拥有丰富奴隶来源的塞柏努斯赚得盆满钵满。 At this moment, he ridiculed loudly: „You are not clear, the return that this is Davos your majesty donates the grain that gives for us! Since Theonia establishes, when does the army go to battle to need our merchants to accompany?! Before had not had, but now had! This means captive who the powerful Kingdom Regiment captures, we can obtain with the most preferential price promptly! The spoils of war that the army obtains, we can also obtain with the most preferential price! Cities that the army seizes, we can obtain the store with the preferential price, first captures the market share!......” 此刻,他大声嘲笑道:“你们难道不明白吗,这就是戴弗斯陛下为我们捐赠的粮食所给予的回报！戴奥尼亚建立至今,什么时候军队出征需要我们商人随从的？！以前从没有过,而现在有了！这就意味着强大的王国军团所抓获的俘虏,我们可以及时的用最优惠的价格获得！军队所获得的战利品,我们也可以用最优惠的价格得到！军队所占领的城镇,我们可以用优惠的价格得到商铺,优先占领市场！……” The Nuse's spirited words saying everyone two eyes to shine, some people even shouted loudly excitedly: „Davos your majesty for victory!” 塞柏努斯激昂的话说得大家两眼放光,有人甚至激动地高喊:“戴弗斯陛下万胜！” Carl Manders could not bear rumble one low voice: „Do not cheer too soon, this going to battle may not win time.” 卡尔曼德斯忍不住小声咕噜了一句:“别高兴的太早,这一次的出征不一定会获胜。” Actually exactly by nearby wool textile merchant Frat Xiyasi hearing. 却恰好被旁边的羊毛纺织商人福拉西亚斯给听见。 Frat Xiyasi is cotton material merchant from Euboea, after Thurii did business, he discovered the Theonia wool is not only good-quality, but also low-priced, output extremely numerous( because has Lucania and Bruttii area two fine pastures), therefore, he chooses to settle down, becomes the Theonia citizen, starts to recast the wool textile, through, gives up the traditional mode of domestic workshop, conducting the big workshop's fine division of labor management to the Cheiristoya bank loan, is quick his garment workshop dramatic expansion, the wool that produces weaves the magnificent long gown and wool of wraparound coat blanket and wool manufacture deeply by the welcome of Theonia people, and sells in distant markets other. Inland city-state, thus makes him a big merchant. 福拉西亚斯原本是来自优卑亚岛的一个布料商人,到了图里伊经商之后,他发现戴奥尼亚的羊毛不但质量上乘,而且价格低廉、产量极多(因为有卢卡尼亚和布鲁提地区两个优良的牧场),因此,他选择定居下来,成为戴奥尼亚公民,开始改做羊毛纺织品,通过向克莉斯托娅银行贷款、放弃家庭作坊的传统模式、进行大工场的精细分工管理,很快他的制衣工场急剧扩张,所生产的羊毛织毯、羊毛制作的华丽长袍、羊毛束腰外衣等都深受戴奥尼亚民众的欢迎,并且远销其他内陆城邦,从而使他成为了一个大商人。 Therefore after hearing Carl Manders's words, he refuted immediately loudly: „Under Davos your majesty leadership, when our regiments has defeated! Anticipated that the kingdom army defeats is not a Theonia citizen should have the attitude that!” 因此在听到卡尔曼德斯的话后,他当即大声反驳道:“在戴弗斯陛下的率领下,我们的军团什么时候战败过！期待王国军队战败可不是一个戴奥尼亚公民应该有的态度！” Facing other person of discontented vision, Carl Manders hurries to explain: „I...... I am hope that the army should not be extremely negligent, because I heard that...... heard Rome is very powerful city-state......” 面对其他人不满的目光,卡尔曼德斯慌忙解释道:“我……我是希望军队不要太过大意,因为我听说……听说罗马是一个很强大的城邦……” „I heard that this time an army that goes to battle with Rome altogether has the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth regiment, the first, 22 nd cavalry corps!” Sostratus interrupts his words, said loudly: „This is about 60,000 people of armies! I remember( in the war of conquering Apulia area, even if the initial Crotone battle and afterward Brindisi battle i.e. launched in Davos, with the battle of Messapi-Peuceti alliance) has never set out so many soldiers! Rome even again powerful, how also possibly to resist our Theonia so powerful army!” “我听说这次出征罗马的军队总共有第一、第二、第三、第四、第五、第六军团,还有第一、第二两个骑兵军团！”索斯塔图斯打断他的话,大声说道:“这可是将近6万人的大军啊！诸位,我记得即使是当初的克罗托内会战和后来的布林迪西会战(即在戴弗斯发动的征服阿普利亚地区的战争中,与梅普联军的会战)也从未出动过如此多的士兵！罗马就算再强大,又怎么可能抵挡得住我们戴奥尼亚如此强大的军队！” „Sostratus said right, this will certainly be one win! No wonder Nuse you are excited, originally you have long known this news, this you will obtain many inexpensive Latin slave time, then gained one greatly! What do your others in hesitate?!......” Had Dick Polis's adding fuel to the flames, the atmosphere in hall lived it up immediately. “索斯塔图斯说得对,这必将又是一场大胜！难怪塞柏努斯你如此激动,原来你早就知道了这个消息,这一次你将会获得很多廉价的拉丁姆奴隶,然后大赚一笔了吧！你们其他人还在犹豫什么？！……”有了迪克波里斯的推波助澜,大厅内的气氛顿时热闹起来。 The merchants said: Must follow the King Davos army to go to Latin personally, opens the new trade foothold for own industry in central Italy. 商人们纷纷的表示:要亲自跟随戴弗斯国王的大军前往拉丁姆,为自己的产业在意大利中部开辟新的贸易据点。 In the noisy sounds of people, a Frat Xiyasi question made the vision of people go to Sostratus again: „Association president, is only then do our Thurii these merchants follow the army to go to Latin?” 在嘈杂的人声中,福拉西亚斯的一句问话让众人的目光再次投向了索斯塔图斯:“会长,是不是只有我们图里伊的这些商人才跟随大军前往拉丁姆？” „Of course not.” On the face of Sostratus appears some helpless: „Rhegion merchant......, because they also contributed to increase a lot of grain to the kingdom free of charge.” “当然不是。”索斯塔图斯的脸上显出些许无奈:“还有利吉姆的商人……因为他们也向王国无偿捐增了大量的粮食。” „Yeah......” people's annoying emanation sigh. “哎……”众人懊恼的发出叹息。 At this time, Tios speech: „You do not need to worry, the Latin region is vast, city-state is numerous, even were many Rhegion merchant, still had enough many profits to earn for us. Moreover the Rhegion merchant and we are entirely different, their merchants mostly are engaged in the transportation trade and warehousing hotel service( this are because the Rhegion land is barren, region is narrow, holds the special geographical position decision of Mediterranean most important business route), but we make the profit by the solid cargo, the both sides too big conflicts of interest, cannot enhance the cooperation on the contrary......” 这时,提奥斯说话了:“你们不用担心,拉丁姆地域广阔、城邦众多,就算多了利吉姆商人,仍然有足够多的利润供我们赚取。而且利吉姆商人和我们还大不相同,他们的商人大多从事转运贸易、仓储旅馆服务(这是由于利吉姆土地贫瘠、地域狭窄,偏偏又扼守地中海最重要的商贸航路的特殊地理位置决定的),而我们是靠实实在在的货物来赚取利润,双方并没有太大的利益冲突,相反还可以加强合作……” „Tios said is also reasonable, heard that Latin area by sea city-state as a result of economical backwardness and bad trade, the harbor is small and bad, happen to can give the Rhegion person who these most will operate the harbor to expand and manage. My subordinate can also stay with the slave in their hotels, there are them to be responsible for transporting, this may be more convenient......” Nuse's words to make the haze on merchants face dissipate much. “提奥斯说的也有道理,听说拉丁姆地区靠海的城邦由于经济落后、贸易萧条,港口又小又差,正好可以交给这些最会经营港口的利吉姆人去扩建和管理。我的手下和奴隶也可以住在他们的旅馆里,有他们来负责运送,这可就省事多了……”塞柏努斯的话让商人们脸上的阴霾消散了不少。 In fact, joining of Rhegion merchant truly has minimal impact on most Thurii merchants, but has the competition regarding a small number, for example the transportation and transportation trade of fleet have the direct competition with the Sostratus primary do business. 实际上,利吉姆商人的加入确实对大部分图里伊商人影响不大,但对于少部分人还是存在着竞争,比如船队的运输和转运贸易就跟索斯塔图斯的主要经营业务存在着直接竞争。 However the Sostratus heart is very big, has the self-confidence very much, moreover he has in fact looked at the fleet transportation trade of Rhegion merchant, wants through digging person and the purchase, expands and promotes own fleet, the channel of expanded foreign marketing, but before Rhegion was the free city, the Rhegion merchant was the monolithic bloc, was not good to be close, now this city has been annexed to the kingdom completely, there is an opportunity that these expedited time to facilitate him to be close to the Rhegion merchant, he believes that will have very big harvest. 但是索斯塔图斯心胸很大,也很有自信,而且他实际上早就瞄上了利吉姆商人的船队转运贸易,想通过挖人和收购,壮大和提升自己的船队,扩大对外营销的渠道,只不过以前利吉姆是自由市,利吉姆商人是铁板一块,不好接近,现在这个城市已经完全并入王国,又有这一次远征的机会方便他接近利吉姆商人,他相信会有很大的收获。 But regarding shipbuilding merchant Mick Reyes, joining of Rhegion merchant is a very tremendous pressure, what because he faces is the King Davos relations by marriage- Alshvang Pieters's competition. 但对于造船商人米克瑞斯来说,利吉姆商人的加入将是一个很大的压力,因为他面对的是戴弗斯国王的姻亲-阿尔西比达斯的竞争。 In the past Mick Reyes's male cousin Arney Luse held the post of Theonia nauarch time, Alshvang Pieters's shipyard moved into Thurii under the invitation of Davos , regardless of as a result of Arney Luse ill management, the warship that the family shipyard made, the ordinary ships quality drops, therefore was snatched many shares by Alshvang Pieters's shipyard, in addition , his downfall let the shipwright and labor in family shipyard is flustered, finally was poached much by the competitor. 当年米克瑞斯的堂兄恩阿尼卢斯担任戴奥尼亚海军统帅的时候,阿尔西比达斯的船厂在戴弗斯的邀请下入驻图里伊,由于恩阿尼卢斯管理不善,家族船厂所制造出的无论战船、还是普通船只质量都有所下降,因此被阿尔西比达斯的船厂抢去了不少的份额,再加上之后他的倒台更让家族船厂的船匠和劳工人心惶惶,结果被竞争对手挖走了不少。 When Mick Reyes takes over, the benefit of its shipyard has been not as before, is good firmly decides because of him, conducted the strict management to the shipyard, and positive improvement technology, making the quality of ships promote sharply, recalled some shipbuilding shares, but was unable the shipyard competition by far with Alshvang Pieters. But in this time, the military affairs section also starts to give Mick Reyes to make the order of warship exactly, and straightforward told him, decree that this was the king. As the matter stands, others think the family that Arney Luse obtains forgiving of King Davos, starts to contact with Mick Reyes on own initiative, thus makes the ships sales volume of its manufacture increase, making this have the family of dozens years of shipbuilding history to give full play to the vitality in Thurii. 等到米克瑞斯接手时,其船厂的效益已经大不如前,好在他痛下决心,对船厂进行了严格的管理,并且积极的改进技术,使得船只的质量大幅提升,挽回了一些造船份额,但已经远远无法与阿尔西比达斯的船厂竞争。而恰在此时,军务部也开始给予米克瑞斯制造战船的订单,并且直白的告诉他,这是国王的旨意。这样一来,其他人认为恩阿尼卢斯的家族已经得到了戴弗斯国王的原谅,也开始主动联系米克瑞斯,从而使得其制造的船只销量大增,让这个在图里伊有几十年造船历史的家族重新焕发了生机。
