„I really admire Captain Davos very much, he not only direction combat, but also has the idea to doing business very much! He proposed many precious suggestions, for example in the county fair entrance, I prepared to guard with two fully-armed soldiers, the leader said that ‚this is not good, customers who will frighten the arrival business, we must consider the feeling of customer,’, therefore turns into such that you saw, now looked like customers' response to be very good...... haha...... to be right, including these weighing was also his suggestion, such suggestion also had many. This county fair can short in 20 days changes so lively, is mainly his merit! I think, even if he is not the mercenary, can definitely become a big merchant by his ability!” Marigi these words are actually from the heart. “我真的很佩服戴弗斯首领,他不但指挥作战,而且对经商也很有想法！他提出了很多宝贵的建议,比如在市集入口,我原来是准备用两个全副武装的士兵来守卫的,首领说‘这样不行,会吓到来买卖的顾客们,我们要考虑顾客的感受,’所以就变成了你看到的那样,现在看来顾客们的反应很好……哈哈……对了,包括这些称量器也是他的建议,这样的建议还有不少。这个市集之所以能够短短的在20天内变的如此热闹,主要是他的功劳！我想即使他不当雇佣兵,以他的才能肯定能成为一个大商人！”马里吉的这些话倒是发自内心。 „Yes, but also is really unexpected.” Burkes dealt with said that is thinking anything at heart. “是啊,还真是让人意想不到。”布尔科斯应付的说了一声,心里在想着什么。 He turns around to walk toward the market, Marigi quickly follows, to fill a position of the guide. 他转身往市场里走去,马里吉急忙跟上,充任向导。 As the crowded stream of people proceeds, the first stall naturally is the mercenaries own, therefore the area is very big, is placing many thousand wonderful strange things and fine gold and silver wares according to groups...... settled down, watch and ask that in this person of price are many. 随着拥挤的人流往前走,第一个摊位当然是雇佣军自己的,所以面积很大,分门别类地摆放着很多千奇古怪的物件和精致的金银器……在此驻足、观看、问价的人很多。 „Mersis!” Marigi shouted one. “梅尔西斯！”马里吉喊了一声。 Directs the fatty who the slaves transport the goods then to look behind the stall, immediately arrogant saying: „Marigi, you come to extend the congratulation to me?! I may sell many cargos today!” 在摊位后面指挥奴隶们搬运物品的胖子回头一看,立刻趾高气扬的说道:“马里吉,你是来向我表示祝贺的吗？！我今天可卖出了不少货物！” Has not waited for Marigi to answer, he sees Burkes, on the face to stack the smile immediately: „Burkes, you also go shopping. Happen, here has a good thing, you guess that is what?” Saying, he holds up the thing in hand, glittering, shining flower human eye: That is a careful silver rope, the middle decorates full Baoru cicada wing the little gold/metal piece, forms a but actually triangle, the peak pulls a silver rope...... 还未等马里吉答,他看见了布尔科斯,脸上立刻堆起笑容:“布尔科斯,你也来买东西啊。正好,我这里有一件好东西,你猜猜是什么？”说着,他举起手里的东西,金光闪闪,耀花人眼:那是一根细细的银绳,中间缀满薄如蝉翼的小金片,形成一个倒三角,顶端又牵出一根银绳…… The Marigi eye shrinks, hears Mersis to shout: „Marigi, do not speak!” 马里吉眼睛一缩,就听见梅尔西斯喊道:“马里吉,你不要说话！” „What thing is this?” Maurras's curious asking. “这是什么东西？”莫拉斯好奇的问道。 Mersis sees the people to surround curiously, exhibits the dreadful smile, mysterious saying: „This is Cyrus the Younger gives him the gift of most beautiful loving imperial concubine, is the Persia best goldsmith is, can provide that aspect pleasure that Cyrus the Younger builds specially the wonderful thing! You guess where the Cyrus the Younger loving imperial concubine will wear it?” 梅尔西斯见众人都好奇的围拢过来,摆出猥琐的笑容,神秘兮兮的说道:“这是小居鲁士给他最美丽的爱妃的礼物,是波斯最好的金匠给为小居鲁士专门打造的、可以提供那方面乐趣的妙物！你们猜猜,小居鲁士的爱妃会把它戴在什么地方？” „Is...... under......” some people of indefinite shouting. “难道是……下面……”有人不确定的喊道。 „Responded, it seems like you very experienced!” Mersis said, surrounding ambiguous laughter. “答对了,看来你很有经验！”梅尔西斯说完,周围一阵暧昧的笑声。 „It is said that Cyrus the Younger likes the imperial concubine wearing it every night, with Cyrus the Younger...... un...... Cyrus the Younger died in battle together, his loving imperial concubine by Persian king is captured, this gadget loses in the military compound, was ascended by our soldiers.” Mersis is lifting gold/metal Lian, flashes by before the people: „You smell...... on this possibly also to have the body fragrance that Cyrus the Younger loves the imperial concubine! I thought to stay behind, what a pity I did not have the wife. Thinks to look, you buy it, can feels the joys of life of Room Persian king with the wife or the sweetheart together!” “据说,小居鲁士爱妃每晚都佩戴它,和小居鲁士一块……嗯……小居鲁士战死的时候,他的爱妃被波斯王俘获,这玩意儿遗落在军营里,被我们的士兵拾到。”梅尔西斯举着金链,在众人面前一晃而过:“你们嗅嗅……这上面可能还有小居鲁士爱妃的体香！我本想自己留下,可惜我还没有妻子。诸位想想看,你们把它买回家,就可以与妻子或者情人一起感受波斯王的生活乐趣！” The Burkes hear, somewhat is unexpectedly excited. 布尔科斯听完,居然也有些心动。 A nearby person, has shouted loudly: „How much money? I bought!” 旁边的一个人,已经高喊:“多少钱？我买下了！” Burkes looked, actually knew, is a Scylletium city-state merchant. 布尔科斯一看,竟然认识,是西里庭城邦的一个商人。 „Is inexpensive. You take a look, this thing manufactures how fine! Moreover, these are the pure gold hit the system, the weight/quantity is also heavy!” Mersis is jolting gold/metal Lian with the hand, sends out low and deep „crash-bang crash-bang” sound: „Floor price is...... un...... 50 Darica gold coins.” “不贵不贵。你瞧瞧,这东西制作得多么精致！而且,这些都是纯金打制的,分量也不轻！”梅尔西斯用手颠着金链,发出低沉的“哗啦哗啦”的响声:“最低价是……嗯……五十个达利克金币。” „I have 55 gold coins, this thing turns over to me!” The Scylletium merchant shouts. “我出五十五个金币,这东西归我！”西里庭商人喊道。 „I have 60 gold coins!” The person shouts. “我出六十个金币！”有一个人喊道。 „Hey, is I first buys!” “嘿,是我先买的！” „The price that but I pay is higher than you!” “可我出的价比你高！” „65 Darica gold coins!” “六十五个达利克金币！” ...... …… Marigi has not thought that Mersis compiles the royal family the Persia aristocrat rare living necessities with the thing, makes a profit unexpectedly such abundance. However he does not want to remind Mer beauty, if made Cheiristoya hear this matter, will perhaps not have any good impression to him. 马里吉没想到梅尔西斯将波斯贵族较少见的生活用具编造成王室用物,竟获利如此之丰。不过他不想提醒梅尔西施,如果让克莉斯托娅听说了这件事,恐怕不会对他有什么好印象。 Saw Burkes to squeeze out the crowd, he was busy with. 看到布尔科斯挤出了人群,他忙跟上去。 „I thought that your here also has other city-state merchants to come the business.” Burkes said. “我看你们这里还有其他城邦的商人过来买卖。”布尔克斯说道。 „Has many. Taranto, Scylletium, Caulonia, Crotone and other city-state have.” “是有不少。塔兰图姆、西里庭、考伦尼亚、克罗托内等城邦都有。” Heard Crotone, the eyelid of Burkes jumped jumping. 听到克罗托内,布尔科斯的眼皮跳了跳。 At this time, Maurras is pointing at the front more than ten robust men, said: „These people are your military compound soldiers.” 这时,莫拉斯指着前面的十几个壮汉,说道:“这些人都是你们军营的士兵吧。” Marigi sized up, replied: „Possibly is side the soldier of mercenaries camp.” 马里吉打量了一下,回答:“可能是旁边雇佣军营地的战士。” „I look like the soldier who this county fair goes shopping to be many, it seems like your soldiers are very rich.” Burkes said jokingly. “我看来这市集买东西的士兵不少,看来你们的士兵都很有钱吗。”布尔科斯开玩笑的说。 Saying with a smile that Marigi is perfunctory: „Mercenary, today ending, even does not know tomorrow, has money naturally to enjoy well.” 马里吉敷衍的笑道:“雇佣兵嘛,今天过完,甚至不知道有没有明天,有了钱当然要好好享受。” Burkes hears here, look slightly gloomy, sighed: „Yes, lives in this tumultuous times, no one is easy.” 布尔科斯听到这里,神色微黯,叹道:“是啊,在这个乱世生活,谁都不容易。” Marigi has not spoken. Actually, the soldier of Davos military compound is completely not such a state of mind. Davos inherited and promoted the Meno approach, he strengthened the function of transportation battalion. The wartime, the soldiers give the transportation battalion to check property majority, even must write out clear/pain to happen the misfortune in the registration form of transportation battalion, its property will be inherited by whom. So that after its died in battle, may give the successor its relic...... wait/etc. When the soldier spends money urgently needed when money is also insufficient, he can loan to mercenaries leader Davos, so long as requests reasonably, Mersis of transportation battalion will deduct from each month pay the debt after lending money, moreover not interest...... these approaches of military compound not only enables the soldiers to reduce worries, full power combat, but also reduced gambling and usury, wasteful chaotic in flower and other army abuse. 马里吉没说话。其实,戴弗斯军营的士兵完全不是这样一种精神状态。戴弗斯继承和发扬了梅农的做法,他加强了辎重营的作用。战时,士兵们将财物的大部分都交给辎重营寄存,甚至要在辎重营的登记表上写清楚一旦发生不幸,其财物将由谁继承。以便其战死后,可将其遗物交给继承人……等等。而且当士兵急需用钱而钱又不够时,他可以向雇佣军首领戴弗斯借款,只要要求合理,辎重营的梅尔西斯会将借钱后的欠款从每月的薪酬中扣除,而且并无利息……军营的这些做法不但使士兵们能减少牵挂,全力作战,而且也减少了赌博、高利贷,大手大脚乱花等军中恶习。 Marigi dares definitely most soldiers who spend freely the wealth in the market is not the Davos military compound . Moreover the military compound has camp soldiers to have the limit every day, a squad be only two quotas, must turn over to the camp by the time, will otherwise punish in the military law. 马里吉敢肯定在市场里挥霍钱财的大多数士兵绝不是戴弗斯军营的,而且军营每天出营的士兵人数是有名额限制的,一个小队只有两个名额,到时间必须归营,否则会以军法论处。 Marigi witnessed with own eyes: The effort that Davos to change this army makes, faces many time had scolded, even almost the army dismisses, but he does not make concessions, finally was. Now these soldiers can handle affairs according to the military discipline, most time in the training ground, are not constructing what camp facility, or went to the transportation battalion to examine their wealth to increase many. From their scalding hot has the tranquil look to feel that this is not ordinary mercenaries. 马里吉亲眼见证了:戴弗斯为了改变这支军队所付出的努力,面对过多少次责难,甚至差点军队解散,但他毫不退让,最终还是挺了过来。如今这些士兵能按军规行事,大多数时间不是在训练场,就是在修建什么营地设施,或者去辎重营查看他们的钱财又增加了多少。从他们那灼热中带着平静的眼神就能感觉到这已不是一只普通的雇佣军。 Marigi sees the Sparta army that to subdue|grams Lysippos has led, that is one crowd of rigid disciplines killing machine, but except for the fight, lacks the life fervor. He has also seen the Persia army, although the number is huge, the discipline is lax, the deficient faith, the servant joins the army particularly. But Davos the army not only has the fierceness and discipline of Sparta person, but also has for a better survival, at risk of life faith of combat, let alone they also mysterious commands. If Davos hand/subordinate is not 2000 people, but is 20,000 and 30,000 people, how can that? This happy tentative plan attracts one of reasons Marigi leaves behind...... 马里吉见过克里索普斯率领的斯巴达军队,那是一群纪律严明的杀人机器,但是除了战斗,缺乏生活激情。他也见过波斯的军队,尽管数目庞大,却纪律涣散,缺乏信念,尤其是仆从军。而戴弗斯的这支军队不但有斯巴达人的勇猛和纪律,而且有着为了更好的生存,拼死作战的信念,何况他们还有一个神奇的统帅。如果戴弗斯手下不是两千人,而是两万、三万人,那会怎样？这种美好的设想正是吸引马里吉留下的原因之一…… „I discovered your county fairs sell anything has!” The Burkes sound interrupted the Marigi train of thought. “我发现你们这个市集卖什么东西的都有啊！”布尔科斯的声音打断了马里吉的思绪。 „Unexpectedly has the blacksmith's shop!” “居然有铁匠铺！” „That is only a small shop that receives the order, Thurii does not make us enter a city, but our weapons must service and purchase.” Marigi argued. “那只是一个接订单的小铺子,图里伊不让我们进城,可我们的武器总要维修和购买吧。”马里吉辩解道。 „That this does buy the clay jar?” “那这个买陶罐的？” „We drink water to boil Tang unable to use the hand.” “我们喝水煮汤总不能用手吧。” „Cotton material shop?” “布料铺？” „The clothing of soldiers had a half year not to replace, cannot let they did not go to war wear the armor.” “士兵们的衣物有半年没更换了,总不能让他们不打仗的时候也穿着盔甲吧。” „That this stone material shop?” “那这石料铺？” „Our camps cannot light/only with the trees, the essential position use the stone to be reliable.” “我们的营地不能光用树木,关键的位置还是用石头牢固。” „This ship chandlery shop?! Do not tell me, your mercenaries must construct a fleet!” On the Burkes face anger gathering, scolded loudly: „Your this is takes by force! You took by force the Thurii market, the larceny the Thurii wealth!” “这个船具铺呢？！不要告诉我,你们这支雇佣军还要建一支舰队！”布尔科斯脸上怒气集聚,大声呵斥道:“你们这是打劫！你们打劫了图里伊的市场,偷窃了图里伊的财富！” Marigi lowers the head, slightly explained away the illustration: „The quantity of business cargo not many-” 马里吉低着头,小声辩解说:“买卖货物的数量又不多-” Note: Scylletium Scylletium, Magna Graecia city-state, in the Crotone south. 注:西里庭Scylletium,大希腊的一个城邦,在克罗托内的南面。
