On tail of autumn evening, Neverwinter City welcomed the guest who did not see for a long time. 在秋暮的尾巴上,无冬城迎来了一个许久不见的客人。 Female merchant Margery. 女商人玛格丽。 Walks in regarding this first, and to the friend who being hard to start Border Town brought the rich repayment, Roland has given the courteous reception of extremely high specification, not only First Army shot off firecrackers welcome, he also personally went to the shoal, met the castle her. 对于这位最先找上门来,并给举步维艰的边陲镇带来丰厚回报的朋友,罗兰给予了极高规格的礼遇,不仅第一军鸣炮欢迎,他还亲自前往浅滩,将她接进了城堡。 „You were really too polite, Your Majesty,” Margery said with a smile, „I was only an ordinary merchant.” “您真是太客气了,陛下,”玛格丽笑道,“我只是一介普通的商人而已。” „Without your help, Western Region is very difficult to develop today's like this,” Roland returns to say with ease, „Neverwinter City will never disappoint the friendship.” “没有你的帮助,西境很难发展成今天这样子,”罗兰轻松回道,“无冬城从来不会辜负友谊。” At first massive purchase grains, later rents numerous ships to transport the refugee, completes with the assistance of Margery Commerce vigorous. Tasa can stand firm in old Kingdom Capital, cannot leave the Margery personal connection and support. Although these are not free of charge provide, but Roland is very clear, a lot cannot accomplish depending on money. 无论是最初大量收购粮食,还是之后租借众多船只转运难民,都是在玛格丽商会的大力协助下完成的。就连塔萨能在旧王都站稳脚跟,也离不开玛格丽的人脉和支持。虽然这些都不是无偿提供,但罗兰十分清楚,很多事情不是光凭钱就能办到的。 „Can be called as the friend by you are my being honored,” Margery bows to say slightly, „these time except for the perfume contract that fulfilling formerly signed, I have also brought the new opportunity for you,” she has referred to behind, „they are the fjord most prominent merchants, planned to be full of the interest to your steam sailing ship.” “能被您称作朋友是我的荣幸,”玛格丽微微躬身道,“这一次除了履行先前签订的香水契约,我还为您带来了新的商机,”她指了指身后,“他们都是峡湾最为显赫的商人,对您的蒸汽帆船计划充满了兴趣。” „Yes?” Roland smiled, „later troubles you to introduce one for me well.” “是么？”罗兰笑了笑,“待会麻烦你为我好好介绍一番吧。” According to his convention, has to do with merchant chats while eating. After entering the reception room, on the long table has chocked up the food of various delicacies, but these overseas guests as if to do not need to eat the fish to feel particularly satisfied, in addition the fjord unpopular noble etiquette, they strongly are controlling from the beginning also themselves, displays as far as possible gracefully. After several glasses of liquor get into the stomach, atmosphere even more surges upward, after the etiquette that these imitate completely has also thrown into the brain. 按照他的惯例,和商人打交道都是边吃边谈。走进会客厅后,长桌上已经摆满了各种美味的食物,而这些海外来客似乎也对不用吃鱼感到分外满意,加上峡湾并不流行贵族礼仪,他们一开始还竭力控制着自己,尽可能表现得优雅一点。几杯酒下肚后,气氛愈发高涨起来,那些模仿来的礼仪也全部抛到了脑后。 Roland does not mind these but actually, in tedious dinner table custom compared with palace, he likes the lively dining environment. 罗兰倒一点也不介意这些,比起宫廷中繁琐的餐桌规矩,他更喜欢热闹的用餐环境。 Chatted, his merchant group to this visit also had an approximate understanding. Except that Gamore and Marlan these two visit the Border Town's Crescent Moon Bay merchant first, came from Sunset Island and Shallow Water Town chamber of commerce. Two islands south-north next to Crescent Moon Bay, constituted a business circle of period. 闲聊间,他对此次来访的商团亦有了一个大致的了解。除开加摩尔和玛尔兰这两位最先拜访边陲镇的弦月湾商人,还有来自落日岛与浅水城的商会。两座岛屿一南一北紧挨着弦月湾,构成了一个紧密联系的商贸圈。 As the fjord person initial place of residence, three island area, although is not big, the population and strength are actually in the fjord the apex, the competition is also quite fierce, this point can look from the scales of another two fleets. Each anchors in the shoal harbor ships is three mast big sea boats, each can carry about 300 people, as well as the price of equipollent cargo-- this kind of sailing ship approached five thousand gold royal, but also does not include the sailor. Obviously in competing for the face and shows in strength, these two chambers of commerce do not hope oneself fall behind Crescent Moon Bay. 作为峡湾人最初的居住地,三岛面积虽然不大,人口和实力却是峡湾中顶尖的,彼此间的竞争也颇为激烈,这一点可以从另外两支船队的规模上看出来。每家停靠在浅滩港口的船只全是三桅大海船,每艘都能搭载近300人,以及等重的货物——这样一艘帆船的价格已接近五千金龙,还不包括水手在内。显然在争夺脸面和展现实力上,这两家商会一点也不希望自己落后于弦月湾。 After the sweet snack end comes up, means that the discussion formally started. 等甜点端上来后,就意味着会谈正式开始了。 „Listened to Margery saying that you did want to purchase Steam engine?” “听玛格丽说,你们都想要购买蒸汽机？” „Yes, Esteemed Your Majesty,” Shallow Water Town chamber of commerce head Nibalong opens the mouth saying that „incessantly is Steam engine, you sold to Crescent Moon Bay that steam driven vessel, we also hope to have.” “是的,尊敬的陛下,”浅水城商会负责人尼伯龙率先开口道,“不过不止是蒸汽机,您卖给弦月湾的那种蒸汽船,我们也非常希望拥有。” „Heard before you, transformation is cost that starts out 1800 gold royal? Sunset Island is willing to add 200 again, transforms five by 2000 gold royal prices,” Sunset Island merchant Aitiye is also unwilling to fall behind, „chamber of commerce can pay 50% earnest money first.” “听说您之前开出的改造费用是1800枚金龙？落日岛愿意再添200,以2000枚金龙的价格改造五艘,”落日岛商人埃提耶也不甘落后,“商会可以先支付一半的定金。” Obviously what they refer to is Crescent Moon Bay one year ago steam Stream Ship that purchases, regarding Roland, this already the technology that soon eliminates, can train the worker with this batch of orders, while convenient earns not a poor income, actually very cost-effective transaction. 显然他们指的是弦月湾一年前购买的蒸汽明轮船,对于罗兰来说,这已经是快要淘汰的技术,能用这批订单来培养工人,顺带赚取一笔不菲的收入,倒是个十分划算的交易。 „Transforms Stream Ship to need two to three months, five take about one year, if you can accept, City Hall Prime Minister Barov can sign this contract with you.” “改造一艘明轮船需要两到三个月,五艘需要一年左右的时间,如果你们能接受的话,市政厅总管巴罗夫会和你们签下这份契约。” „Absolutely does not have the issue, but Sunset Island also small requests.” Aitiye settles the throat clear, „we hope that can you be able the artisans with fjord to complete the ships to transform.” “完全没有问题,不过落日岛还有一个小小的要求。”埃提耶清了清喉咙,“我们希望能您能用峡湾的工匠来完成船只改造。” „What does it mean?” The Roland brow selects. “什么意思？”罗兰眉头一挑。 „It looks like Crescent Moon Bay Steam engine factory such, we provide a number of craftsmen for you, the ships that they transform first turn over to Sunset Island to use, when the ten-year is full, makes them choose the staying or going again freely.” “就像是弦月湾的蒸汽机工厂那样,我们为您提供一批匠人,他们改造的船只优先归落日岛使用,等到十年期满,再让他们自由选择去留。” „Shallow Water Town also hopes that according to this way signing contract,” Nibalong echoes saying that „five sailing ships are only the first batch of orders, if you can comply with our requests, every year at least will have five ships to accept the transformation.” “浅水城也希望按照这个方式签订契约,”尼伯龙附和道,“五艘帆船只是第一批订单,如果您能答应我们的请求,每年至少都会有五艘船只接受改造。” So that's it, Roland thought that therefore this is one is ten years, every year the knockdown price reached as high as 10,000 gold royal big forms, but they will obtain the detailed reformation method ten years later, was insufficient to be under the control of others. 原来如此,罗兰心想,所以这是一笔长达十年,每年成交价格高达10000枚金龙的大单子,而他们则会在十年后得到详细的改造方法,不至于一直受制于人。 But the fact is, he does not care to disseminate this method, being developed and began the production compared with Stream Turbine triple expansion Steam engine, Stream Ship fell behind the time obviously. 但事实是,他根本不在意将这套方法传播出去,比起正在研制的蒸汽轮机和已经投入生产的三涨式蒸汽机,明轮船显然已经落后于时代了。 He signs ten years of approximately goal with Crescent Moon Bay at first lies, makes craftsmen adapt to the Western Region's life with these ten years time, making them not be willing to return to the fjord, finally becomes Neverwinter City, but to not prevent the technology divulges. 他最初与弦月湾签订十年之约的目的在于,用这十年时间让匠人适应西境的生活,使他们不愿返回峡湾,最终成为无冬城的一员,而不是为了防止技术泄漏。 Has been separated from the technology of industrial infrastructure, is one seems like the beautiful castle in the air. 脱离了工业基础的技术,也不过是一座看似美丽的空中楼阁罢了。 Thinks of here, Roland has knocked the table, „in principle does not have what issue, but in the detail we could make some revisions, for example changes into five years ten years......” 想到这里,罗兰敲了敲桌子,“原则上没有什么问题,但细节上我们或许可以做出一些修改,比如把十年时间换成五年……” Here, on two big merchant faces appeared the obvious happy expression, for them, can a morning point master the steam driven vessel retrofitting scheme, naturally was a better choice. 说到这儿,两位大商人脸上都浮现出了明显的喜色,对他们来说,能早一点掌握蒸汽船改造技术,自然是更好的选择。 „So long as Shallow Water Town and Sunset Island are willing to keep Western Region the artisan, in the price I can also reduce 20% to you, what kind of?” “只要浅水城和落日岛愿意把工匠留在西境,价格上我还可以给你们减免两成,怎么样？” „This......” “这……” They some hesitant get up immediately, after all the artisan is not good to train, several hundred people reduce for five years, in addition every year saves two thousand gold royal, whether this transaction reckoned up them not to say for a while certainly. 两人顿时有些迟疑起来,毕竟工匠也不是那么好培养的,几百人缩短五年时间,外加每年节省两千金龙,这笔交易是否合算他们一时也说不准。 „Your Majesty, I whether to discuss after other chamber of commerce people answered to you again?” Nibalong said. “陛下,我能否和商会其他人商量一番后再给您答复？”尼伯龙说道。 „Naturally,” Roland has given the hand signal of doing as you please. “当然可以,”罗兰做了个请便的手势。 „Also allows me to ask to be excused temporarily,” Aitiye left the reception room. “也容我暂时告退,”埃提耶跟着离开了会客厅。 „Then......” he looks at vision to Gamore and Marlan, „aren't your trip of goals of as if the steam driven vessels?” “那么……”他将目光望向加摩尔和玛尔兰,“你们此行的目的似乎不是蒸汽船？” In two chambers of commerce strive to be the first to discuss the business, the facial expression of Crescent Moon Bay representative has been very tranquil, occasionally spoke also refers to before and past events of Border Town transaction, felt that they were not discuss the business, but was chats...... Doing of this selling mood sent naturally to cause the curiosity of Roland. 就在两个商会争先谈论生意时,弦月湾代表的神情一直都很平静,偶尔发言也是谈及以前和边陲镇交易的往事,感觉他们不是来谈生意,而是来拉家常的……这种卖情怀的做派自然引起了罗兰的好奇。 „No, Esteemed Your Majesty, we also come for the steam driven vessel,” Gamore white liquor, „, but is not wood/blockhead manufacture Stream Ship. Crescent Moon Bay wants to break out the storm and indestructible steel steamship-- is you for that Sir Thunder builds.” “不,尊敬的陛下,我们也是为蒸汽船而来,”加摩尔品了口白酒,“但不是木头制造的明轮船。弦月湾想要能够劈开风浪、坚不可摧的钢铁大船——就是您为雷霆大人打造的那一款。” Such remarks, Margery immediately changed complexion. 此话一出,玛格丽顿时变了脸色。
