Next day, Neverwinter City welcomed entered the after autumn fourth vacation, was the mid-autumn first weekend. 次日,无冬城迎来了入秋后的第四个假期,也是仲秋的首个周末。 Because this world anything has not created the century and so on legend, therefore to most people, when regardless of must to fill the belly, but busy non-stop. Since the Roland promulgation meets seven rest a stipulation, citizen then this gratitude turns over to his head-- to be able thoroughly to rest for day, will not have deducted the salary, so kind Ci Aimin's does feudal lord have something nitpickingly? 由于这个世界并没有什么创世纪之类的传说,因此对大多数人而言,无论何时都得为填饱肚子而忙碌个不停。自从罗兰颁布逢七休一的规定后,领民便将这份感激归到了他的头上——能够彻底休息一天,还不会扣除薪酬,如此仁慈爱民的领主还有什么可挑剔的？ Especially sends here the refugee who from outside area, personally after having experienced the Neverwinter City living conditions, all iron core to in this place settle down, even if City Hall propaganda of wantonly to Devil cannot contain this tendency-- compared with the hunger and poverty, became including the threat of Devil not that important. 特别是从外地迁来的流民,亲身体验过无冬城的生活环境后,无一不铁了心要在此地定居下来,哪怕市政厅对魔鬼的大肆宣传也没能遏制住这股势头——比起饥饿和贫寒,连魔鬼的威胁也变得不那么重要了。 However the report of Barov showed that holiday after the system promotes officially, Neverwinter City production situation too had not been affected. The primary cause lies in the rest does not force, the choice continues the person who works and makes to receive the extra pay also to have many. The trade practice of city had the significant growth actually, on the weekend, the square area is always fully occupied, incessantly is the local merchant, outside peddler acts as soon as one gets the news, chooses this to set up a stall to sell on this day, other time are used to purchase the Western Region specialty product, and resell him. 不过巴罗夫的报告表明,休息日制度正式推广开后,无冬城的生产情况并未受到太多影响。主要原因在于休息并非强制,选择继续工作、挣取额外报酬的人也有不少。倒是城市的贸易行为有了大幅增长,每逢周末,广场区总是人满为患,不止是当地商人,就连外地的行商都闻风而动,选择在这一天来此摆摊开售,其余时间则用于收购西境特色产品,并转卖到他地。 The circulation of goods that this taking week unit places for one year ago matter that is unable to imagine, but now along with day-by-day increase of concrete boat, the trade rhythm becomes is even more fast. Like the Scarlet Water City inland big city, even can eat to send out and soak the fresh sea fish in ice piece by the shoal port. But in the past, there noble and merchant were most can only eat the pickling has pickled dried fish. 这种以周为单位的货物流转放在一年前还是无法想象的事情,但如今随着水泥船的日益增多,贸易节奏变得愈发快速起来。像赤水城的内陆大城,甚至能吃到由浅滩港发出、浸在冰块里的新鲜海鱼。而以往,那里的贵族和商人最多只能吃到盐渍腌过的鱼干。 Taking this into consideration, Roland simply demonstrated that as well as various praise ceremonies and other activities significant speaking and achievement puts the holiday to hold, further promoted the commercial trade the active-- so-called wool to leave taking advantage of the custom of people on the chimera, the salary of paying can definitely takes carry back from the business tax revenue and expense, simply was the plan of answering multiple purpose. 有鉴于此,罗兰干脆把重大宣讲、成果展示、以及各类嘉奖仪式等活动都放到了休息日举行,借着群众的习惯去进一步推动商业贸易的活跃——所谓羊毛出在羊身上,多付的薪酬完全可以从买卖税收和消费里拿回来,简直是一举多得之策。 In the summer today this weekend is no exception, the warmth that remains has not diverged, the blue sky of ten thousand miles non- cloud is swaying slowly the cool breeze, obviously is one suits the journey the fine weather. On the avenue is bustling and filled with people, from the inland river dock area to the city north fence, can see the form that citizen waits for everywhere. 今天这个周末也不例外,夏季余留的温暖还未散去,万里无云的碧空吹拂着徐徐清风,显然又是一个适合出行的好天气。大街上人头攒动,从内河码头区到城北围墙,到处都能看到领民翘首以待的身影。 Stated differently, their this times to not go to the convenient market buy several jin (0.5 kg) good meat, but witnesses the innovation of His Majesty The King in the waiting. 不同的是,他们此次不是为了去便民市场买上几斤好肉,而是在等待见证国王陛下的新发明。 Unprecedented carrier-- " train " first time trial operation. 一种前所未有的运载工具——「火车」的首次试运行。 Jewelry merchant Victor is also. 珠宝商人维克多也是其中一员。 Knew after propaganda of City Hall, a big transaction that he even on hand discussed lost to the subordinate, at the same night has made contact with from old Kingdom Capital to the Neverwinter City concrete boat. 得知市政厅的宣传后,他甚至把手头正在谈的一笔大交易都丢给了部下,连夜搭上了从旧王都开往无冬城的水泥船。 Who if changes to the Western Region these years has extremely intense touching, Victor without a doubt is one of them. Here is outlying small town time, he has visited this place feudal lord. Regarding that wielding, he has not left behind too impression, only remembers that is physique extremely fat middle age noble, during the conversations manages this barren land to complain the shaft coupling to oneself extremely. If not occasionally can wash from the opposite party hand to 1-2 quality of material good raw gems, he estimated that also only will halt in Longsong Stronghold. 如果说谁对西境这些年的变化具有极其强烈的触动的话,维克多毫无疑问是其中之一。在这里还是一座边远小镇的时候,他就拜访过此地领主了。对于那位执掌者,他并没有留下太多印象,只记得是一个体态臃肿的中年贵族,言谈间对轮到自己管理这片贫瘠之地而抱怨万分。如果不是偶尔能从对方手中淘到一两块质地上佳的宝石原石,他估计也只会止步于长歌要塞。 Even so, Victor in one year most patronizes Western Region one time, when regardless of he comes, this border region small town is almost same as the last year, is worn-out and decayed. But the recent three years, he comes here number of times to be even more frequent, especially after Roland Wimbledon announced constructed the city, basically went to the Once a month situation. 即使如此,维克多一年里最多光顾西境一次,而无论他什么时候来,这座边陲小镇几乎都和上一年一样,破旧且腐朽。但最近三年,他来这里的次数越发频繁,特别是罗兰.温布顿宣布建城之后,基本达到了一月一次的地步。 Greycastle Western Region as if became another world. 灰堡西境仿佛成为了另一个世界。 Here, one day no longer is one day, but is one month \; Similar one month also no longer is one month, but is one year, why otherwise he is very difficult to explain the Neverwinter City change to be able fast to this situation. 在这里,一天不再是一天,而是一个月\;同样一个月也不再是一个月,而是一年,否则他很难解释无冬城的变迁为何能快速到这个地步。 Tavern that Victor enters facing the street, the boss welcomes to come immediately with a smile, „I know that you will come, kept a seat by the window in three buildings to you specially.” 维克多走进一家临街的酒馆,老板立刻笑着迎上前来,“我就知道您会来,特意在三楼给您留了个靠窗的位子。” He pulls out silver royal to lose to the opposite party conveniently, „leads me to come up.” 他随手掏出一枚银狼丢给对方,“带我上去吧。” „Yes, please come with me.” “是,请跟我来。” The patron as this tavern, Victor naturally does not need to choose and common people pushing avenue--, although gathers the person in three buildings are also many, but at least the field of vision must widen a lot. 作为这家酒馆的常客,维克多自然不必选择去和平民挤大街——虽然聚集在三楼的人也不少,但至少视野要开阔得多。 The surrounding person was discussing noisily for today's demonstration. 周围的人已经在为今天的展示讨论得沸沸扬扬了。 „Is that narrow street the road that the train later must take? Too was also far from concourse and residential district.” “那条狭窄的街道就是火车待会要走的路？离中央广场和住宅区也太远了点吧。” „Street? Has not experienced, that called track system, thing that in mining site used.” Immediately some people of shames said with a smile, „, since did not use to the person, naturally must leave person many places, you think that the train was a carriage!” “街道？没见识,那叫轨道系统,矿区里用的东西。”随即有人耻笑道,“既然不是给人用的,当然要离人多的地方远一点,你以为火车是马车哪！” „What you said is the gadget of Silver Light City mine tunnel small roadside shop?” “你说的是银光城矿洞里铺的玩意儿？” „Right, it is here produced, needs to match the Steam engine use.” “没错,它本来就是这里生产的,需要搭配蒸汽机使用。” Victor cannot bear join in the fun saying that the trailer that „Steam engine draws I have also seen, its superiority does not haggle over the terrain. If puts the flat land to come up, the mule can definitely displace. So is only this, should City Hall not propagandize " the transport means of cross time " it?” 维克多忍不住凑热闹道,“蒸汽机拉动的拖车我也见过,其优势在于不计较地形。如果放到平地上来,骡马完全可以取而代之。如此只是这样,市政厅应该不会把它宣传成「跨时代的运输工具」吧？” „Perhaps is only laughs uproariously.” Another person mumbled. “说不定只是个噱头而已。”另一人嘟囔道。 „Urges to go faster,” all around has resounded a creating a disturbance sound immediately, „your does first time come Neverwinter City? Your Majesty Roland may never talk big this aspect.” “去去,”四周立刻响起了一阵起哄声,“你第一次来无冬城？罗兰陛下可从不夸这方面的海口。” That person was not convinced also wants to say anything again, the distant place has resounded a resounding whistle sound suddenly. 那人不服气地还想再说些什么,远处忽然响起了一阵高亢的汽笛声。 „--------------” “呜——————————————” „Came, it came!” In the room boiling gets up immediately, all people find out out of the window the body, did not wink looks at one side of the castle area alley, the part early is having preparation also to pull out telescope from the bosom. “来了,它过来了！”屋子里顿时沸腾起来,所有人都将身子探出窗外,一眼不眨地望着城堡区一侧的小街,部分早有准备者还从怀里掏出了瞭望镜。 Victor also looks at-- to the sound origin place 维克多也向声音来源处望去—— Sees only a black long line slowly after the blocking house drives out, maps in the people eyes little. Its build is gigantic, the head just like iron bucket of a frame on wheel, the barrel top is spouting the billowing grey smoke to outside, the appearance no other two when with Steam engine revolution sends. 只见一条黑色长龙缓缓从遮挡的房屋后驶出,一点点映入众人眼中。它的体型硕大,头部宛如一个架在轮子上的铁桶,桶顶正向外喷出滚滚灰烟,和蒸汽机运转时的模样别无二致。 But by front, but also parallel a wagon-- compartment is being towed by two batch of steeds, its speed and train quite, seem unexpectedly likely are mutually are disputing general. However because thinks of full theater box ore, the horses take one step quite not to be easy every time, this since the cart driver non-stop brandishing in the action of horsewhip to look, if strong wheel hub that if not for uses, the compartment already was perhaps crashed. 而在车头旁边,还并行着一辆四轮马车——车厢由两批骏马牵引,其速度与火车相当,看上去竟像是在互相较量一般。不过由于装着满满一厢矿石,马匹每迈出一步都颇为不易,这点从车夫不停挥舞马鞭的举动上就可以看出来,倘若不是用的铁铸轮毂,车厢恐怕早已被压垮了。 As the train gradually shows the complete picture, Victor felt that behind braved goose bumps. 随着火车逐渐展现出全貌,维克多不禁感到背后冒起了鸡皮疙瘩。 Behind the front is drawing compartments, their almost each can go against 45 horse-drawn vehicles, inside similarly has also packed the ore, the light from the weight/quantity, perhaps and specifically was used in the inland river sailing ship of transportation being equally matched. 车头后面拉着一个又一个车厢,它们差不多每个都顶得上45辆马车,里面也同样装满了矿石,光从分量上来看,恐怕和一艘专门用于运输的内河帆船不相上下了。 The issue is it simultaneously is bringing several train theater boxes! 问题是它同时带着好几列车厢！ The whoa of people are suddenly lingering on faintly! 人们的惊叹声一时间不绝于耳！ „Four...... Fourth!” “四……第四个了！” „Five!” “五个！” „Following did impossible have?” “后面不可能还有了吧？” „gods on, six!” “神明在上,六个！” „Came out, seventh!” “出来了,第七个！” Is towing the entire seven train theater boxes just like the monster common front, at extremely steady speed, open area before across castle. 宛如怪物一般的车头拖着整整七列车厢,以极为稳健的速度,穿过城堡前的空地。 The issue in Victor heart also had the explanation. 维克多心中的问题也有了解答。 Fixes in ore cave entrance, tows Steam engine that the mine car passes in and out specially, with Steam engine that can move independently, completely is the entirely different two concepts. 一台固定在矿洞口、专门牵引矿车进出的蒸汽机,和一台能够自主行动的蒸汽机,完全是截然不同的两个概念。 The latter means where, so long as the railway rail constructs, where it can ship bulk cargoes. The weight no longer is to limit the bottleneck of land transportation, on the contrary compares to the shipping, its delivery capacity must be more formidable. If Your Majesty wants, he even can evacuate a city in a short time. 后者意味着只要铁轨修建到哪里,它就能将一大宗货物运送到哪里。重量不再是限制陆运的瓶颈,相反比起航运而言,它的输送能力要更加强大。假若陛下愿意,他甚至可以在短时间内搬空一座城市。 Victor of merchant aristocratic family family background naturally knows that importance of transportation, most cities establish in river course nearby do not have no reason. But the emergence of this type of carrier, will bring the infinite possibility to flowing of natural resource, the view of cross time has not exaggerated. 商人世家出身的维克多自然知道运输的重要性,绝大多数城市都建立在河道附近并非没有理由。而这种运载工具的出现,将会给资源的流动带来无限可能,跨时代的说法一点儿也没有夸张。 He felt that palpitation beyond description well ups, inside not only satisfies, and has to lose...... He thought that oneself in the testimony history, simultaneously actually got rid of-- by the history in other kingdoms, feudal lord still immerses in the demeanor dog or horse, their trip modes were still the horses and mule cart, their paths still spread the blue brick, to fill the mud. 他感到一股难以形容的悸动涌上心头,里面既有满足,又有失落……他觉得自己在见证历史,同时却又被历史抛弃——在其他王国,领主们依然沉醉于声色犬马,他们的出行方式仍是马匹与骡车,他们的道路依然铺着青砖、充满泥泞。 But they actually completely do not know, and becomes accustomed. 可他们却全然不知,并习以为常。 In the Victor mind cannot help but appeared a thought. 维克多脑海中不由得浮现出了一个念头。 In the future arrived, but it is not the uniform distribution. 未来已经到来,只不过它并非均匀分布。
