It seems like oneself must try harder, Roland shrugs secretly, was flung by the subordinate behind is not an honorable matter. 看来自己也得加把劲了,罗兰暗地里耸了耸肩,被属下甩到身后可不是件光荣的事情。 Is good basically restabilized because of Scarlet Water City now, has 70% decisions to continue to manage the original industry through screening noble, remaining, then hopes that City Hall tries one's luck, although essential requirements of application administration test " break the article to be literate " for them is a cinch, but Roland thinks that this group of people through trialing in final and becoming the probability of official official are not big. 好在赤水城如今已基本恢复稳定,通过筛选的贵族里有七成决定继续经营原先的产业,剩下的则希望去市政厅碰碰运气虽然申请行政考试的基本要求「断文识字」对他们来说不在话下,但罗兰认为这批人通过终审、成为正式官员的几率并不大。 After all the noble handling matters habit is not easy to change. 毕竟贵族的处事习性不是那么容易更改过来的。 Naturally, even if holds the post of Clerk, must be much better compared with the head. 当然,即使是担任一名文书员,也比掉脑袋要好多了。 Even also three noble want joining First Army they are the Knight family backgrounds, does not have the hidden evil intent meaning under the observation of Nightingale, but he still grasps at the beginning of the army establishment the decision that establishes, has rejected three people of applications. 甚至还有三名贵族想要加入第一军他们都是骑士出身,在夜莺的观察下也没有暗藏祸心的意思,不过他依然秉持军队创立之初所立下的决定,拒绝了三人的申请。 After solving the recycling has enfeoffed the power issue , the working efficiency of Scarlet Water City and surrounding areas was obviously more highly effective, one week, over 20,000 people mounted went to the Neverwinter City ships, but more people unceasingly the territory that gave up the procedure surface of small cities and in village seems like enables to control had still been tailing off to the Scarlet Water gathering, in fact made the City Hall control ability drastically promote. 解决了回收分封权的问题后,赤水城及周边地区的办事效率显然高效了许多,一个多星期的时间里,就有超过20000人登上了前往无冬城的船只,而更多的人仍在不断向赤水汇聚放弃小城镇和乡村的做法表面上看似使得可以控制的领地变少了,实际上却令市政厅的掌控能力大幅提升。 Makes the government order implement to go to the country including path deficient time wish in this to be no different than dream of a fool, one year collects one set of leadership team also reluctantly feasible, making the personnel spring up everywhere forces someone to do something against his will. Why Barov also not only one time asked him to ship back Neverwinter City the population rigid, but after did not unify the kingdom, let all as usual, he always did not have country answer. 在这个连道路都匮乏的时代想要让政令贯彻下乡无异于痴人说梦,一年时间凑出一套领导班子还勉强可行,让基层干部遍地开花则是强人所难了。巴罗夫也不只一次问过他为何执着地将人口运回无冬城,而不是统一王国后让一切照旧,他始终没有全面系统地回答过。 Because City Hall Prime Minister is not already able to imagine a coal iron compound industry to absorb many population, is hard to understand that constructs a such industry to need to spend many energy and time. 因为市政厅总管既无法想象一个煤铁复合工业能吸收多少人口,也难以了解建设一个这样的工业需要花费多少精力和时间。 Moreover the most important point is, these far away territories cannot the revolution be truly free, from the natural resource angle, remains instead is being a waste. 而且最重要的一点便是,那些偏远的领地并不能真正运转自如,从资源角度而言,留着反而是种浪费。 Therefore population concentration to several main cities of river system good communications, is the procedure of more suitable Greycastle present situation. 因此将人口集中到几个水系交通便利的主要城市,才是更适合灰堡现状的做法。 That moment of the land transforming, Roland truly had the jurisdiction of Scarlet Water area. 从土地变革的那一刻起,罗兰才算真正拥有了赤水地区的管辖权。 But his next goal naturally is Silver Light City. 而他的下一个目标自然是银光城。 Compared with colossus Scarlet Water City, tidies up this old Kingdom Capital satellite town to be simpler much it is ordinary fief, with peripheral dozens regarding the fief anything difference of Kingdom Capital, had not been discovered until the first open-air silver mine, made its existence become special. The precious metal mineral lode hole that as excavates are getting more and more, this place is also getting more and more lively, finally changes the present appearance. 比起庞然大物赤水城来说,收拾这座旧王都的卫星城要简单得多它原本是一处普通的封地,和周边数十块围绕王都的封地没什么不同,直到第一座露天银矿山被发现,才令它的存在变得特殊起来。随着发掘出来的贵金属矿脉洞越来越多,此地也越来越热闹,最终变化成了如今的模样。 Considered that output of Silver Light City has the extreme important significance to the Greycastle coined money, therefore latter several feudal lord not only by giving loyalty to Wimbledon lineage/vein „good-hearted person” William Earl acting, its authority was also limited, dozens years later, have almost not enfeoffed other noble. 考虑到银光城的产出对灰堡铸币有着极为重要的意义,因此后几任领主不仅由效忠于温布顿一脉的“老好人”威廉伯爵担当,其权力也受到了限制,数十年下来,几乎没有分封过其他贵族。 In other words, so long as City Lord took a stand, Silver Light City was his it's in the bag. 换句话说,只要城主表态,银光城便是他的囊中之物。 But by the Wimbledon III's bloodlines, as well as the extant highest position successor status, Roland believes that „convincing” the opposite party is not a difficult matter. 而凭借温布顿三世的血脉,以及现存的最高顺位继承人身份,罗兰相信“说服”对方并不是一件难事。 However what made his some caring, this established the city in mineral lode is also the Nightingale hometown. 不过令他有些在意的是,这座建立在矿脉上的城市也是夜莺的故乡。 When inquired the opposite party each time, the answer that obtained was " I have broken the relations with Glen Family, therefore you did not need to worry my idea " , but he always thought that Nightingale seemed avoiding anything. The busy government affairs make Roland have no way in the guess to take the too much time, has to press this matter temporarily. 尽管每次询问对方时,得到的答复都是「我已经和葛兰家脱离了关系,所以你不用顾虑我的想法」,但他总觉得夜莺似乎在回避些什么。只是繁忙的政务让罗兰没法在猜测上占用太多时间,只好将这件事情暂时压了下来。 After receiving the Iron Axe confidential letter fourth day, First Army Eastern Front Army sailed to the Silver Light City territory following the artificial canal enormously and powerful. 就在收到铁斧密信后的第四天,第一军东线军顺着人工运河浩浩荡荡地驶进了银光城领地。 ...... …… With entering Scarlet Water City the traveling schedule almost, William Earl leads the team to go out of town to greet, warm exchanging greetings will be the evening banquet will invite from now on then. The difference is, the Scarlet Water City welcome team enfeoffs noble, but in old City Lord team were many many merchants, even has also included old acquaintance Hogg. 同进驻赤水城的行程几乎一样,威廉伯爵率队出城迎接,热情的寒暄过后便是晚宴邀请。区别在于,赤水城的欢迎队伍都是分封贵族,而老城主的队伍里则多了许多商人,甚至还包括了老熟人霍格。 Arrived the evening, the Earl prologue has then set the main key to be willing to hand over for the banquet enfeoffs the power, and fully supports the Your Majesty Roland new deal. In the conference site has broken out the warm applause immediately, this made the latter prepare the good excuse to swallow in the belly completely. 到了晚上,伯爵的开场白便为宴会奠定了基调愿意交出分封权,并全力支持罗兰陛下的新政。会场上顿时响起了热烈的掌声,这让后者准备好的说辞全部咽进了肚子里。 But Hogg threaded a needle to make the contacts welcome the feast turned into a business conference. 而霍格的穿针搭线更是将欢迎宴变成了一场生意洽谈会。 „How you always did not ask that set of machine in my mine tunnel to operate?” He in one group of merchant front complacent say/way, „the present its genuine inventor stands before you this Your Majesty Roland! This is an once in a thousand years opportunity, does not need to go to Western Region, can get the answer in Silver Light City directly!” “你们不是老问我矿洞里的那套机器到底是如何运作的吗？”他在一帮商人面前得意洋洋道,“现在它真正的发明者就站在你们面前正是这位罗兰陛下！这可是个千载难逢的机会,不用前往西境,直接在银光城中就能得到答案！” The merchants the noisy crowd has welled up immediately. 商人们立刻一窝蜂涌了过来。 „Esteemed Your Majesty, can say that with us its strength so will be why big?” “尊敬的陛下,能和我们说说它的力气为什么会这么大吗？” „Does not know that you are willing to sell many track system, Dymond Chamber of commerce will anticipate and cooperation of Neverwinter City.” “不知道您愿不愿意出售更多的轨道系统,戴蒙德商会将十分期待与无冬城的合作。” „Your Majesty, do you still remember the quick sail meeting? Two years ago once provided several sailing ships to transport the eastern region refugee for you in the trade strength, we absolutely are the chambers of commerce that the middle area ranks among the best, if possible, the quick sail can hope that can buy one set of Steam engine manufacturing equipment. Naturally, the price is absolutely liberal!” “陛下,您还记得快帆会么？两年前曾为您提供过数艘帆船来运输东境难民在贸易实力上,我们绝对是中部地区数一数二的商会,如果可以的话,快帆会希望能购入一整套蒸汽机制造设备。当然,价格绝对优渥！” Remembered female merchant Margery once to disclose own „good news”, Roland somewhat does not know whether to laugh or cry " Hogg to lead a large quantities of merchant to go to Western Region " at heart, has not thought that was catches up on the contrary in front. 想起女商人玛格丽曾透露给自己的“好消息”,罗兰心里不禁有些哭笑不得「霍格将带着一大批商人前往西境」,没想到反倒是自己赶在了前面。 If other Greycastle places like Silver Light City, the world this are happy. 如果灰堡其他地方都像银光城这样,世界该多么美好啊。 Has satisfied the curiosity of merchants with great difficulty, he had found finally with the opportunity that old City Lord lives alone. 好不容易满足了商人们的好奇心,他总算找到了跟老城主独处的机会。 They pass through the hall, steps onto flat roof that the night breeze sways, isolated the noise sound of banquet temporarily after behind. 两人穿过大厅,走上晚风吹拂的露台,将宴会的喧嚣声暂时隔离在了身后。 Roland was carrying wine cup, after the bird's eye view city under good curtain of night, opened the mouth saying that „will enfeoff the power such to hand over, you did not feel that regretted?” 罗兰端着酒杯,俯瞰了好一阵夜幕下的城市后,才开口道,“将分封权就这么交出来,你一点都不感到惋惜吗？” „I truly had not had it, what discussed that regretted......” William Earl smiled, „your father, your father's father, although has not stated clearly, but will not allow Silver Light City to have a number of own crowding around absolutely, but the parental instruction of William Family never will then enfeoff, therefore it regarding me, you have not thought important.” His slightly, „, let alone, I do not need this authority.” “我本来就没有真正拥有过它,又何谈惋惜……”威廉伯爵笑了笑,“您的父亲,还有您父亲的父亲,虽然没有明说,但绝对不会允许银光城拥有一批属于自己的簇拥,而威廉家族的家训便是永不分封,所以它对于我来说,并没有您想得那么重要。”他稍稍一顿,“何况,我也不需要这个权力。” „Doesn't need?” Some Roland curious say/way. “不需要？”罗兰不禁有些好奇道。 „Enfeoffs the original intention to expand and consolidate own influence, to guard other people's peeping, but Silver Light City does not have the person of this risk any dozen of this city ideas, is no different than blatantly the authority in provocative Wimbledon royal family, therefore family, so long as guarantees loyally, then does not need to be worried that was violated.” Earl sips a liquor, „in turn, has enfeoffed in some sense, weakened it own natural resource to divide to own one to other people, to receive in exchange latter's potency. Compared with puts in these natural resource others hand, I hope that can manage it personally. You know that in recent 20 years, Silver Light City how many delivered to enhance?” “分封本意是为了壮大、巩固自己的势力,以防他人的窥视,而银光城则没有这个风险任何打这座城市主意的人,都无异于公然挑衅温布顿王室的权威,因此家族只要保证忠心,便不用担心受到侵害。”伯爵抿了口酒,“反过来,分封从某种意义上来说,也是对自身的一种削弱它将原本属于自己的资源划分给了他人,以换取后者的效力。比起将这些资源放到别人手中,我更希望能亲自来经营它。您知道最近20年里,银光城的产出提高了多少吗？” Roland shakes the head. 罗兰摇摇头。 „Enough 16 times, I put in most energy for this reason......” the old City Lord highly-spirited say/way, „from the beginning is only the place open-air silver ore, the mineral lode that now excavates reaches more than ten types \; Collection team that similarly at first only then the royal family sends out, but not only at present this place has various ores and jewelry merchants, through the auxiliary profession that mining develops, for example the oil lamp and ore spade manufacture wait/etc., your Steam engine can also be counted a kind, haven't I spoken incorrectly?” “足足16倍,为此我投入了大多数精力……”老城主兴致高昂道,“一开始只是座露天银矿,现在发掘的矿脉多达十余种\;同样最初只有王室派出的采集队,而目前此地不仅有各类矿石、珠宝商人,还有许多通过采矿发展起来的辅助行业,例如油灯、矿锹制造等等,您的蒸汽机也能算作其中一类,我没说错吧？” „Indeed so,” Roland said with a smile. “的确如此,”罗兰微笑道。 „This feeling seems like training a child, looks that it grows up gradually, you said that I do give up to cut open to seal it to others? Therefore I do not need authority like this.” Earl spoke of here released a long breath, „Your Majesty, are you willing to make me continue for you to manage this to glitter the silver light city?” “这种感觉就像是在培养一个孩子,看着它逐步长大,您说我又怎么舍得将它切开来封给别人呢？所以我并不需要这样的权力。”伯爵说到此处长出了一口气,“陛下,您愿意让我继续替您经营这座闪烁着银光的城市吗？” „Naturally, if you want,” he holds up wine cup to the opposite party, two people smile, the cup touch afterward gently in the same place, exudes the clear sound. “当然,如果你愿意的话,”他向对方举起酒杯,两人相视一笑,随后杯子轻轻碰在一起,发出清脆的响声。 „Was right, after” Roland the liquor tossed down, has changed a topic, „did you know the Glen Family matter?” “对了,”罗兰将酒一饮而尽后换了个话题,“你知道葛兰家的事吗？” „Glen?” William Earl thought has selected the eyebrow to say a while, „a little impression, but remembers that was not too clear Silver Light City very long had not left new noble after all, these families were the silver ore are discovered before , existed in this. If there is not remembered incorrectly, last Glen should change the surname two years ago, now that place was the Somer family all.” “葛兰？”威廉伯爵思索了好一阵子才挑眉道,“有点印象,不过记得不是太清楚了毕竟银光城已经很久没有出过新贵族,这些家族都是银矿被发现前就存在于此的了。如果没记错的话,最后一个葛兰应该在两年前改了姓氏,现在那块地属于索美家族所有了。” When the opposite party these words said that Roland felt that Nightingale has grasped his arm instantaneously. 当对方这句话说出来时,罗兰感到夜莺瞬间抓紧了他的胳膊。
