大概是没想到所谓的惩罚竟然就这么轻描淡写,猎人姐弟在听到高文的话之后一时间都没反应过来,直到高文又重复了一遍自己的问题,红鼻子的汤姆才呆愣愣地点点头:“能……我和姐姐能找到别的聚落的。”Homelessrefugeewill roam aboutinFeudal Territoryeverywhere, under normal conditionstheircourses of actiondo not have the rule, theywalkin the place that no oneknows, will diein the place that no oneknows, the region that butas a whole, theymaystop overhascertainrange.
无家可归的流民会在领地之间到处流浪,通常情况下他们的行动路线都没有规律可言,他们走在无人知晓的地方,也会死在无人知晓的地方,但总体上,他们可落脚的区域却是有一定范围的。Thesescopesusuallyinwild mountainous country that eachnoble territorybetweenthesenobody will ask, butin the Clearwater Rivernorthandsouth the TanzanmineeastandKant territorythebulkland, isthisplace.
这些范围通常就在各个贵族领地之间那些无人问津的荒山野岭里,而在白水河北方、坦桑矿山东部、康德领南部的这一大块土地,就是这种地方。HadmassivelyfromCondor Territory, Carol Territory and refugees in Northwestmanyscatteredvillages and small townsalong the riversandmountain foresttrendwandertothisarea, theycanmovetoward the slightlybountifulpointmiddle area, butin the past two yearsKingdomcentral and crop of southern areascausedregionalgrain in storage to haveinsufficientunsatisfactory, althoughmanyplaceshave gotten strength backthis year, buteach regionaristocratstilltook strict precautions against cling to tenaciouslytoexternalrefugee, the aristocrat in middle areabynearlyregarded the vision of thiefandrobberregardedtheseto come from„poorSouth” the famine victimhungryman (Han), thereforetothesehomeless person, went toallroad/s of middle areato block, they.

有大量来自秃鹰领、卡洛尔领和西北方诸多零散村镇的难民沿着河流与山林的走向游荡到了这一地区,他们本可以向着稍微富饶一点的中部地区迁徙,但最近两年来王国中部和南部地区的收成欠佳导致各地存粮皆有不足,虽然今年很多地方已经缓过劲来,但各地贵族仍然对外来的流民严防死守,中部地区的贵族更是以近乎看待小偷和强盗的眼光看待那些来自“贫穷南方”的饥民饿汉,因此对这些无家可归者而言,前往中部地区的所有道路都已经封锁,他们只能游荡到南边的这片山林里。According tointelligence that graspssketchily, currentlyhasreachesseveral thousandsto be in the homeless person in hungerto dispersestaysinthismountain forest and wilderness, becausemostrefugeeoncemoved( evenfromsameplace) along the sameroute, in the settlements that thesehomeless peopleformkept the contact of certain extent, althoughthisrelationis quite loose, butlike a standing net, so long asgrasped a node, thenseeksto be able the entirestanding netto graspfollowing the linein the hand.
根据粗略掌握的情报,目前有多达数千正处于饥饿中的无家可归者分散栖身于这片山林与荒野中,而由于大部分流民都曾沿着同一个路线迁徙(甚至来自相同的地方),这些无家可归者形成的聚落之间保持了一定程度的联系虽然这联系极为松散,但就像一张网,只要掌握了其中一个节点,那么顺着线寻找下去就能把整张网抓在手中。Knight Byronhas passed over half a monthin the Southareadispersionnewsthroughhisundergroundchannel, Cecil territorydrew inintelligence of refugeedefinitelyalsoto haveenteredin the ears of thesehomeless people, butthesepoor menhave lost the confidenceto the aristocratbeforeFrost Montharrives, will havemercenarycatchesNudui who the aristocratsendsto plunderthemalmost every several days, thereforewantsthesesoeasyto believe that in the world the aristocratfamilyis also willingfriendlyto admitandprotectthem is almost the not possiblematter.拜伦骑士通过他的地下渠道在南方地区散布消息已经过去了大半个月,塞西尔领收拢难民的情报肯定也有一些进入了这些无家可归者的耳中,但这些可怜人早已对贵族失去信心在霜月降临之前,几乎每隔几天就会有贵族派出来的佣兵捕奴队来掳掠他们,所以想让这些人如此容易就相信世界上还有一个贵族家族愿意友善地接纳并保护他们几乎是不可能的事情。But ifcanhavea number ofrefugee, onebatchfled from calamity, to liveseveralmonths of even1-2 years of refugeeto run the transmissionnewswiththemin the wildernesswiththemineachsettlementstogethersame, thenrecruited the homeless persononeasymany.
但如果能有一批流民,一批和他们一同逃难出来、和他们一样在荒野上生活了几个月甚至1-2的流民在各个聚落之间奔走传递消息,那么招募无家可归者就容易的多了。

Has the youngster who at presentthishas the rednose( perhapsgrown up? But was too emaciated), althoughis a little rash, buthiscouragemaybe big, moreoverlooknotlike the great majoritypoorthoroughnumb, can therefore hold the post ofsuchEnvoy.
眼前这个有着红鼻子的少年(或许已经成年?但实在太瘦弱了)虽然有点莽撞,但他胆子可不小,而且眼神也不像大多数贫民一样彻底麻木,所以可以担任这样的使者。„Cecil Familyis remoulding the order on thislands, beforethis year'sMonth of Coldarrives, allin the homeless people who inthismountain forestandnearbywildernessroam about can Cecil Familyregistersandbecomesonthislandspermanent, legitimatecitizen,” the Gawainlooks atpresentyoungster, said that listenstonearby everyone, heemphasizedall these to intentionallybefore„Month of Cold”arrivedwas effective, was actually notrealmustset this limit, butwasbythisby this emergencycredibly, andhas the pressure and urgencybythesepersonat present, „, forby.

“塞西尔家族正在重塑这片土地上的秩序,在今年的冷冽之月降临之前,所有在这片山林和附近荒原中流浪的无家可归者都可以向塞西尔家族报到并成为这片土地上永久的、合法的领民,”高文看着眼前的少年,同时也是说给旁边的每一个人听,他故意强调了这一切要在“冷冽之月”降临前才有效,却并不是真的要设置这个限制,而是以此来让这件事变得更加可信,并且让眼前这些人产生压力和急迫感,“为了让所有需要帮助的人都能及时收到消息,我要你以及其他有能力的人去寻找那些藏身起来的流民,我会派士兵护送,保证你们能活着完成这些工作。”Tomopens the eyeto listen toall these, Gawainturns around, shifts totheseto describewithered, expressionexcept for the nervousthennumbSouthern Regionrefugee: „Iknow that youare the people of honestduty, isobserves the person of legalanddiligentwork, butyourFeudal Lordabandonedyou, entireSouthern Regionallaristocratsabandonedyou, does not have anyfamiliesandanylandsallowyouto baseandsurvive, you can only roam aboutin the wilderness, depend upon the grassroots, the barkevenmoss and mousecomefullbelly, buteven so, the lackeys of thesearistocratsare plunderingyou, cruelly harmsyou, evenchased downyouto come here!

The littlemeagerbrillianceappearedfromthatbothpollutionnumbeyefinally.
一点点微薄的光彩终于从那一双双浑浊麻木的眼睛中浮现了出来。Theireventuallyperson, has a mind.
他们终究还是人,还是有心的。Gawainhad not anticipated that theseslowfamine victimscancheerto respond itself, hethenretrocededhalfstepafter the words that sayingmustspeak, saw that Wrighthas released the Holy Lighttreatmenttoallwounded person, thenturns the headto looktoKnight Philip: „Apportionsthesepeoplefood that comes outunnecessarilysome, otherwisebytheirconditions, perhapsis very difficult to walktoFeudal Territoryon. Moreover, sends a soldier who rides the fast horsegoes back, toldHetty the news, makingherbe ready.”高文没有期待这些迟钝的饥民能欢呼来响应自己,他在说完自己要说的话之后便后退了半步,看到莱特已经给所有伤员释放过圣光治疗,便转头看向菲利普骑士:“把多余出来的食物分给这些人一些否则以他们的状态,恐怕很难走到领地上。另外,派一个骑快马的士兵回去,把消息告诉赫蒂,让她做好准备。”
The encouragingspeechlaterdistributionfood, thisforeveris the most effective means that particularlyinthisage.
鼓舞人心的演讲之后分发食物,这永远是最行之有效的办法,尤其是在这个年代。After„Feudal Lord”lifepersontakesfood, thesetalentswill feel themselvesto return„the Human Racesociety”truly, andbelieves firmly that ownnew„Feudal Lord”will truly fill the bellybyoneself, the command prompt, will maintain the most basicloyaltyfor this reason. The civilianthought of thistimeissosimpleanddirect, thiscan be said asGawainin the onlygood intentions that thisvenomousworldfeels.
当“领主”命人把食物取出来之后,这些人才会真正感受到自己已经重新回到“人类社会”之中,并确信自己的新“领主”确实会让自己填饱肚子,他们自己则会为此而服从命令、维持最基本的忠诚。这个时代的平民思维就是如此朴实而直接,这可以说是高文在这个充满恶意的世界所感受到的唯一的善意。At this time, thatjustaccepted the black hairyoung girl of Wrighttreatmentto walksuddenly, shewas cramped, butnervousgrabbedownclothes, someas ifwords want to say that Gawainseeing thatdrivingopens the mouth: „Do youaskmeto have the matter?”
这时候,那位刚刚接受过莱特治疗的黑发少女突然走了过来,她局促而紧张地抓着自己的衣服,似乎有话想说,高文见状主动开口了:“你找我有事?”„Is......, leads...... Sir Feudal Lord,”black hairgirl , said „Feudal Lord”twocharactersas ifa littleto knockto stumble, butsaidsmoothly, „a moment agoyousaidreal?”
“是……是的,领……领主老爷,”黑发姑娘在说出“领主”两个字的时候似乎有点磕绊,但还是顺利说了出来,“您刚才说的都是真的么?”„Naturallyreal,”Gawainsmiled, „do I need to deceiveyou?”
“当然是真的,”高文笑了起来,“我有必要骗你们?”Butwords that aristocratLordsspokealwaysnotreal.
但贵族老爷们说的话从来都不会是真的。these wordsfine jadeonlydaresto think, shesaid was actually: „Can Ilook forothersettlementswithmyyounger brother? Hisleg and footis inconvenient, needs the personto look.”
这句话琼只敢在内心想一下,她说出来的却是:“我能和我的弟弟一起去找其他聚落么?他腿脚不便,需要人照顾。”„If necessaryIwill arrange a horseor a car(riage)tohim,”Gawainnoticed the issue on thatyoungsterleg and foota moment ago, butnods, „naturally, you can still actwithhimtogether.”
“有必要的话我会给他安排一匹马或者一辆车,”高文刚才就注意到了那个少年腿脚上的问题,不过还是点点头,“当然,你仍然可以跟他一起行动。”
The young girlsdeeplylower the head: „Extremelythankedyourbenevolence.”
少女深深低下头去:“万分感谢您的仁慈。”Onedaylater, GawainandAmberare leadinghalf ofsoldiers, sending under custodytwomercenary that is capturing aliveto return toFeudal Territoryin advance.
在一天后,高文与琥珀带领着一半的士兵,押送着活捉到的两个佣兵先行返回了领地。ButKnight Philipleads the remaininghalf ofsoldiersto escortthatdozens„newpopulation”to follow on the heels, because the refugeephysiqueis weak, manypeople have the old disease, therefore behind Wrightalsoremainsis responsible forlooking.
而菲利普骑士则带着剩下的一半士兵护送那几十名“新增人口”跟在后面,由于流民们体质虚弱,不少人还有慢性疾病,所以莱特也留在后面负责照看。ThatHoly LightPriest can also go againstBerserkercombat powerwhile convenient......
那位圣光牧师顺便还能顶个狂战士的战斗力……

更不用提这些流民中一大半都是具备一些手艺,或者至少有一点见识的自由民,他们的基础素质就比买回来的奴隶要高,这将在后期的教育中减少很多成本。serf is very difficultto becomerefugee, becausetheytied upon the land, when the faminearrives the placearistocratwill draw to support the famineto endwith the lowest costownserf, resumesproductionbythis, butserf that triesto escapewill be stressed the execution, insteadwill be the positionslightlyis highfree citizento losein this casedepends uponcompletely, has toflee from calamityout of native place.农奴是很难成为流民的因为他们被绑死在土地上,当灾荒到来的时候地方贵族会把自己的农奴收拢起来用最低成本养活到灾荒结束,以此来恢复生产,而试图逃跑的农奴则会被抓回来处死,反而是地位稍高一些的自由民会在这种情况下失去全部依靠,不得不背井离乡地逃难。Sometimesthereforesomepeoplewill also teaseoneon the lands of somearistocrats, the freepriceis instead higher than to becomeserf.
所以有时候也会有人这么调侃一句在有些贵族的土地上,自由的代价反而比成为农奴更加高昂。ButmanagesHetty of Feudal Territoryinternal affairsactuallyseemssomewhatheavyhearted, shefoundGawain: „Ancestor, youreallyplannedbeforeMonth of Coldarrivesdraws in the Clearwater Rivernorth bankwildernessallhomeless people?”
可是统管领地内务的赫蒂却显得有些忧心忡忡,她找到了高文:“先祖,您真的打算在冷冽之月到来之前收拢白水河北岸荒野中所有的无家可归者么?”Gawainhas expectedHetty to look for itself, heshows the smile: „Does grainhave the pressure?”高文早已料到赫蒂会来找自己,他露出微笑:“粮食有压力么?”„Reallyhas, iftheseintelligencereal, the entirewildernessnoweverywhereis a refugee, weare goingto provide forabout4000peopleto passthiswinter. InFeudal Territoryafterthese dayspopulationexpansionalsoonly then2000population, wewere equal to that wantsall of a suddento provide to surpassusto have the populationtwotimes of refugees.

“确实有如果那些情报是真的,整个荒野现在到处都是难民,我们将要供养大约四千人度过这个冬天。领地里经过这一段时间的人口扩充也就只有两千人口而已,我们等于要一下子供养超过我们现有人口两倍的难民。而这还只是次要问题,毕竟粮食可以用钱买来,坦桑镇富饶,又愿意低价卖给我们粮食,这方面还好解决,真正麻烦的是一下子新增这么多人该怎么维持秩序我们好不容易才把那些购买来的农奴和奴工消化吸收成懂规矩、守法律的领民,这种时候再贸然来四千人,我很担心之前努力获得的成果会被破坏掉哪怕那些难民并不是有意破坏的。”„Weincreased to2000people800people, the populationdoubledcontinue, but the orderhas not actually collapsed,”Gawainsmiledis lookingtoHetty, „whatgoodworry, thereforehad?”
“我们把八百人增加到两千人,人口增加了一倍不止,但秩序却没有崩溃,”高文微笑着看向赫蒂,“所以有什么好担心的呢?”„Thatisbecause before , the population of increasingis warmbefore the weather that Frost Montharrives, has the sufficientjobtothesepeople, theycanfollowcitizento open up wasteland, cuts wood, constructshouse, according toyourview, has the workto have the transformation, the sufficientjobcanbedigests the absorptionnewpopulation the optimal path, butnowisFrost Monthlast ten days of the month, quickwill enter the floatingsnowMist Month, again is freezing coldMonth of Cold, at this timewedid not have the job......”
“那是因为之前增加的人口都是在霜月之前抵达的天气温暖,有着充足的工作岗位给那些人,他们可以跟着领民去开荒,去伐木,去建造房屋,按照您的说法,有劳动就有改造,充足的工作岗位会是消化吸收新增人口的最佳途径,可是如今已经是霜月下旬,很快就会进入飘雪的雾月,再然后是滴水成冰的冷冽之月,这时候我们就没有工作岗位了……”„Whosaidno?”Gawainsmileswas happier, „is why out-of-servicein the winter, but can only the nestconsume the grainat home? In factquite to the contrary...... herealsohaspiling in heapsengineering projectto wait for the manpowerto complete.”8)
“谁说没有的呢?”高文笑的更开心了,“为什么冬天就不能工作,而只能窝在家里消耗粮食呢?事实上正相反……我这里可是还有成堆的工程项目等着人手去完成呐。”八)
