Fat Paderick Pom slightly a little sits in the Cecil territory host constrained anxiously „castle” in reception room, third time position that adjusted a bow tie. 胖胖的帕德里克·波姆略有点拘束不安地坐在塞西尔领主“城堡”的会客厅中,第三次调整了一下自己领结的位置。 He is not the person who has not seen the world, the person but who in this world has seen the world again is also very difficult to obtain with an opportunity of Founding Hero private talk, he knows that this time situation was completely different in that conversation of Kant castle with before, the previous time, he accepted appointing of Duke Cecil as Kant territory representative in the crowd, but this time, will be Duke Cecil he will call from Kant territory, must hold talks face to face in secret. 他并不是一个没有见过世面的人,但这个世界上再见过世面的人也很难获得跟一位开国英雄密谈的机会,他知道这次的情况跟之前在康德城堡的那次交谈完全不同,上一次,他是以康德领代表的身份在人群中接受了塞西尔公爵的委任,而这一次,却是塞西尔公爵将他从康德领叫了过来,要进行私下里的当面会谈。 The pressure that these two talks result is entirely different. 这两种谈话所造成的压力是截然不同的。 But at the same time, Paderick is also sizing up this in his eyes novel incomparable place curiously. 而在这同时,帕德里克也在好奇地打量着这个在他眼中新奇无比的地方。 This mansion is Duke Cecil castle, but its modeling style in the aristocrat fortress with populace impression is entirely different, is castle, but is actually close to „vacation manor that” was fashionable recently the central some aristocrats architectural style, it does not have castle is so firm probably, but inside environment actually unexpected comfort: Broad window, bright reception room, warm corridor and room, moreover in the air a point has not smelled in castle the common that moist and corrupt flavor, this is really an amazing matter. 这座府邸就是塞西尔公爵的城堡,但它的造型样式却与大众印象中的贵族堡垒截然不同,与其说是城堡,倒更接近于中部地区一些贵族最近时兴起来的“度假庄园”建筑风格,它大概没有城堡那么坚固,但里面的环境却出人意料的舒适:宽阔的落地窗,明亮的会客厅,还有温暖的走廊和房间,而且空气中还一点都闻不到城堡里常有的那种潮湿、腐败味道,这着实是一件令人惊异的事情。 Here great majority wall whitewashed pure white stainless, the bright magic crystal lamp did not seem to ask for money to light up each corner of this building same in fact not only in this castle, since entering Cecil territory, the magic crystal lamp number that Paderick saw even exceeded his first half of one's life had seen the sum total of magic crystal lamp. 这里的大多数墙壁都被粉刷的洁白无垢,明亮的魔晶石灯就好像不要钱一样照亮了这座建筑物的每一个角落事实上不光是在这座城堡里,自从进入塞西尔领之后,帕德里克所看到的魔晶石灯数量甚至超过了他前半辈子所见过的魔晶石灯的总和。 developement territory that god knows this just established how achieves this thing in just several months, here built the neat and tidy bricks house, completed the broad straight street, the wharf, mill and saw mill had it all, but in all these things, most noticeable was these just approached dusk then lightened magic crystal lamp, they were placed before road/s main gate of both sides and common people residence unexpectedly one after another, for not illuminating Feudal Lord mansion, but illuminated the place that the common people lived in! 天知道这座刚刚建立起来的开拓领是如何做到这种事的在短短的几个月里,这里筑起了整整齐齐的砖瓦屋舍,建成了宽阔笔直的街道,码头、磨坊、锯木厂一应俱全,而在所有这些事物之间,最引人瞩目的便是那些刚刚临近黄昏便被点亮的魔晶石灯,它们竟被成排成排地安置在道路两旁和民居的正门前,不是用于照亮领主的宅邸,而是照亮了庶民居住的地方！ Paderick also thought Kant territory can achieve to make half of citizen lighten the oil lamp after at nightfall is the extraordinary magnificent feat, but saw after at nightfall , the brilliantly illuminated Cecil territory place, he felt that cities that unexpectedly oneself are familiar with instantaneous are gloomy. 原本帕德里克还觉得康德领能做到让一半的领民在入夜之后点亮油灯便已经是了不得的壮举,但看到了入夜之后灯火通明的塞西尔领地,他竟觉得自己所熟悉的那个城镇瞬间黯淡无光起来。 Is Cecil territory rich? Did they hire dozens over a hundred official mage, specialized gave these common people entrances street light charge? 塞西尔领到底多有钱？难道他们雇佣了几十上百个正式法师,专门给那些庶民门口的路灯充能么？ Moreover their unthinkable rates of construction what's the matter? engineering project that in the winter in still did not stand still what's the matter? These took a walk, chatted at will and saw that in Feudal Territory loudly the patrol soldiers won't be afraid the civilians who tremble what's the matter? These send out the strange sound, what thing was called as the large building of factory is? 而且他们这匪夷所思的建设速度是怎么回事？冬季里仍然不停歇的工程项目又是怎么回事？还有那些在领地里随意走动、大声谈笑、见到巡逻士兵都不会害怕发抖的平民又是怎么回事？那些发出怪响的、被人称作工厂的大型建筑物又是什么东西？ This piece of Feudal Territory seems covering the innumerable riddles, however Paderick actually does not dare to go into seriously, he knows the master who this lands, knows the legend that Gawain Cecil Grand Duke origin has experienced the Gondor period and Second Development, has also reached the agreement of secret with four Elemental Lord it is said that associates with Elf and Dwarf royal family really densely, such character looks like in Paderick is nearly „inhuman thing”, even if he borrowed the Elemental Lord strength to construct this piece of Feudal Territory, Paderick also thought that did not have the issue, but he as an unimportant person, if were gossipy in this aspect, that issue may on be big. 这片领地仿佛笼罩着无数的谜团,然而帕德里克却不敢深究下去,他知道这片土地的主人,知道那位高文·塞西尔大公的来历一位经历过刚铎时期和第二次开拓的传奇,据说还和四元素领主达成过隐秘的协议,与精灵和矮人的王族交往甚密,这样的人物在帕德里克看来是近乎“非人之物”的,哪怕他是借用了元素领主的力量来建设这片领地,帕德里克也觉得毫无问题但他作为一个小人物若是在这方面多嘴多舌,那问题可就大了。 When the Paderick fourth reorganization bow tie, that seemingly stupid small maid walked, does not know that gathers the teacup on round table for several time fully: „mister, drinks tea.” 在帕德里克第四次整理领结的时候,那位看起来呆头呆脑的小女仆又走了上来,不知道第几次将圆桌上的茶杯蓄满:“先生,喝茶。” „, Thanks.” Paderick hit belch that brings the sound of water, but this time he study is intelligent, but takes up the teacup slightly to sip him not to intentionally make things hard for somebody conscious to this maid little girl at present oneself, did not receive the instruction of Duke to test itself, but how was she perhaps really not studies with high-level maid or head maid to receive the guest, she only knows that rash times gathered fully the teacup of guest, then stared at the guest to drink tea, but if the guest too sincere or wants too many for example half an hour ago that on to be very likely to be used the tea to give by her to fill dead.. “哦,哦,谢谢。”帕德里克打了个带着水声的嗝,但这次他已经学聪明,只是拿起茶杯小小地抿了一口他已经意识到眼前这位女仆小姑娘并不是在故意刁难自己,也不是受了公爵的指示来试探自己,而是她恐怕真的没有跟高级女仆或女仆长学习过怎么接待客人,她只知道愣头愣脑地一次次把客人的茶杯蓄满,然后盯着客人喝茶而已,但如果客人太实诚或者想太多比如半个钟头前的自己那就极有可能会被她用茶水给灌死了。 „...... Lord Duke knows that I did come?” After putting down the teacup, Paderick looks at Betty asked cautiously. “请问……公爵大人知道我来了么？”放下茶杯之后,帕德里克小心翼翼地看着贝蒂问道。 The opposite party is only small maid, is not possible with as Adviser Feudal Lord of ( front ) compares from the position, but only the fool will compare this little girl with such simple method is only maid is not fake, but she is Duke maid! 对方只是个小小的女仆,从地位上是不可能跟身为领主顾问(前)的自己相比的,但只有傻子才会用这么简单的方法来进行对比这小姑娘只是个女仆不假,但她可是公爵的女仆！ Then this „Duke maid” withstood/top the chin to be in a state of several seconds of dumbfounded with the finger, after thinking deeply about one diligently next, Betty shook the head: „I do not know!” 然后这位“公爵的女仆”就用手指顶着下巴陷入了几秒钟的愣神状态,努力思索了一下之后,贝蒂摇摇头:“我不知道！” Paderick sighed, gives up inquiring anything from Betty. 帕德里克叹了口气,放弃了从贝蒂身上打听任何事情。 But at this moment, the gate of reception room was shoved open finally, a big form stands there, let just sigh the Paderick conditioned reflex of air/Qi to stand. 而就在这时,会客厅的门终于被人推开了,一个高大的身影站在那里,让刚刚叹完气的帕德里克条件反射般地站了起来。 „Sorry, making you wait for a long time,” Gawain entered the room while said with a smile, „I am inspecting Alchemy Factory, moreover reorganized the sample to spend time Betty, poured tea to the guest?” “抱歉,让你久等了,”高文一边走进房间一边笑着说道,“我正在视察炼金工厂,而且整理样品花了点时间贝蒂,给客人倒茶了么？” Betty lifted the large teapot in her hand: „Pours tea!” 贝蒂抬了抬手里的大茶壶:“倒茶啦！” Paderick gave a conditioned reflexive hiccup as soon as he heard the sound of water in the large teapot..... 帕德里克一听到那大茶壶里的水声就条件反射地打了个嗝…… Gawain stares: How this fat does mister make a belch also brings back to the sound? 高文一愣:这胖先生怎么打嗝还带回音的？ However he has not gone into seriously this matter, because is glad from the growth of wife and children maid, in shows a smile of applause after little girl, he looked that also makes a belch to bring back to Mr. Paderick of sound to that slightly a little nervous: „Knight Philip showers praises on to you, when his previous time comes back to report the situation, he mentioned that you systematic that the finance of Kant territory handles, not only guaranteed the winter provisioning, in the situation of but also in Feudal Lord passing away still stood firm had the trade merchants with Kant territory, making them still do business with Kant territory next year?” 不过他并没有深究这件事,而是因自家小女仆的成长倍感欣慰,在对小姑娘露出一个赞许的微笑之后,他看向那位略有点紧张并且打嗝带回音的帕德里克先生:“菲利普骑士对你赞誉有加,在他上次回来报告情况的时候,他提到你把康德领的财政打理的井井有条,不但确保了冬季的物资供应,而且还在领主去世的情况下仍然稳住了与康德领有贸易往来的商人们,让他们来年仍然和康德领做生意？” „I did the job,” Paderick acts with constraint is nodding, „I always am responsible for on the chamber of commerce with Feudal Territory having to do, and put forward the proposal in this aspect to Feudal Lord, embarrassed saying that I, although was skilled in the knowledge in heraldry and grammar and etiquette, but actually put in more energy in money, this...... was not probably dignified.” “我只是做了分内之事,”帕德里克矜持地点着头,“我一向负责和领地上的商会打交道,并在这方面对领主提出建议,说来惭愧,我虽然精于纹章学和文法、礼仪方面的学识,但却在金钱上投入了更多的精力,这……大概并不怎么体面。” „When you are good at having to do with money have not actually dared to acknowledge is really undignified,” Gawain is smiling, „I ask you to come, to be today to talk that to you matter in money, I think that this point you should know?” “当你擅长和钱打交道却还不敢承认的时候才是真的不体面,”高文笑着,“我今天找你来,就是要跟你谈金钱方面的事情的,我想这一点你应该已经知道了吧？” „, Yes, I saw your correspondence, your Feudal Territory has entered has the stage of output, can therefore ask me to contact the trade route?” Paderick nods, „is alchemy potion is right?” “啊,是的,我看到了您的信函,您的领地已经进入有产出的阶段,因此要找我来联络商路？”帕德里克点点头,“是炼金药水对么？” „Right, alchemy potion, but I must state beforehand, the Cecil territory production and sells the alchemy potion way probably with different that you imagine, I have one brand-new trade model, but I need you to help me form and achieve it.” “没错,炼金药水,但我要事先声明,塞西尔领生产和出售炼金药水的方式大概跟你想象的大不一样,我有一套全新的贸易模式,而我需要你来帮我组建并实现它。” „Brand-new trade model?” Paderick knits the brows, he does not know that what meaning Gawain is, „you meant that you do become as pulling out of Feudal Lord?” “全新的贸易模式？”帕德里克皱了皱眉,他不知道高文是什么意思,“您是说您作为领主的抽成么？” „Said that was too troublesome, you have a look at the material is quite good directly,” Gawain is saying, while hints to follow in Hetty to give present Paderick a not too thick book, „what on this will tell you are ‚new trade model’.” “说起来太麻烦了,你直接看看资料比较好,”高文一边说着,一边示意跟在身旁的赫蒂将一本并不太厚的册子递给了眼前的帕德里克,“这上面会告诉你什么叫‘新的贸易模式’。” Paderick received the book, although but he quite awes to Gawain, when domain that in talking about oneself excels at quite somewhat is proud, he self-examined that had half a lifetime social dealings with the merchant, to laying down the trade route and business sells that set of thing that saves is quite familiar, how the novel trade model to where will not go again in his eyes complex, specialized with a book explained that really somewhat makes a fuss over a trifling matter, but he actually does not dare to state clearly, but can only nod respectfully: „Good, my has a look. Lord Duke, you can definitely feel relieved, I am somewhat am quite self-confident to doing business.” 帕德里克接过了册子,但虽然他对高文颇为敬畏,在谈及自己擅长的领域时还是颇有几分自负的,他自问跟商人打了半辈子交道,对铺设商路、买卖销存的那一套东西极为熟悉,再怎么新奇的贸易模式在他眼中也不会复杂到哪去,专门用一本册子来说明实在是有些小题大做但他却不敢明说出来,而只能恭敬地点头:“好的,我这就看看。公爵大人,您完全可以放心,我对经商方面还是颇有几分自信的。” He is saying, while saw some essential words on book: The chain sale on commission, the local agent, circulates the network, is divided into the pattern and market expands...... 他一边说着,一边就看到了册子上的一些关键字词:连锁经销,地区代理,流通网络,分成模式和市场拓宽…… Gawain has not spoken, but calmly looks at Paderick reads fast that not very thick book. 高文没有吭声,只是静静地看着帕德里克将那本并不很厚的册子快速看完。 Paderick used for several minutes to glance over carelessly first, later used three times of time to come to see second. 帕德里克用了几分钟草草浏览完了第一遍,随后用了三倍的时间来看第二遍。 When he prepares to look at third, Gawain broke him: „Mr. Paderick, what idea do you have?” 在他准备看第三遍的时候,高文打断了他:“帕德里克先生,你有什么想法？” Paderick rubs the eyes, somewhat looks at Gawain, as if forgot itself to place the Duke mansion at a loss suddenly the reception room, his brain was these unthinkable nouns and specific operation plans, when conscious to was Gawain when called itself, he is in a cold sweat suddenly: „Is...... is Lord Duke! I looked, I looked!” 帕德里克揉了揉眼睛,有些茫然地看着高文,似乎一时间都忘了自己正身处公爵府的会客厅里,他满脑子都是那些匪夷所思的名词和具体的操作方案,等到意识到是高文在叫自己的时候,他才突然冒出冷汗来:“是……是的公爵大人！我看完了,我看完了！” „I know that you looked, I want to know your idea.” “我知道你看完了,我想知道你的想法。” „This...... this” Paderick looked down book in a hand, actually suddenly discovered oneself did not have the glossary that can use, „these ideas were I never have truly thought that they seemed like strange......, but probably was also feasible? But......” “这……这个”帕德里克低头看了一眼手里的册子,却突然发现自己没了可以用的词汇,“这些想法确实是我从未想过的,它们看起来稀奇古怪……但又好像可行？可是……” But this fat mister half of the day, finally breathes deeply: „Good, I acknowledged that it does not have the issue logically, if its real achieve, then it is the commercial monster of Southern Region area has no independent peddler and storekeeper even area chamber of commerce to resist such a the rapid growth close-knit, circulation efficient and series party to move, moreover behind also has the merchant group that the big aristocrat supports, but I must tell a truth, these conceive achieve to be almost impossible. Everyone who you request this sales system is under the centralized dispatcher, the floor store was directed by the local agent, the local agent by the total Supervisor direction that you delegated, but never before had any merchant to accept this binding to be natural, this point we can come reluctantly achieve by money benefit and contract, but you also requested the store of lowest level to achieve on the civilians the business, this......” 这位胖先生可是了半天,终于深吸口气:“好吧,我承认它从逻辑上是没有问题的,假如它真的实现了,那么它将迅速成长为南境地区的商业怪物没有任何单独的行商、坐商甚至地区商会可以对抗这样一个组织严密、流转高效、统一行动而且背后还有大贵族撑腰的商人团体,但我也要说句实话,这些设想实现起来几乎不可能。您要求这个销售系统的所有人都处于统一调度下,底层商铺受地区代理指挥,地区代理受您所委派的总管理人指挥,但此前从未有任何商人接受过这种束缚当然,这一点我们可以靠金钱利益和契约来勉强实现,但您还要求最底层的商铺把生意做到平民身上,这……” Paderick spreads out the hand: „alchemy potion is not the smelly medicinal ointment that the countryside herbal medicine master boils, is poor point mercenary not necessarily to use them, can the civilians possibly use? Even if we sold to the civilians, they also no one buy!” 帕德里克摊开手:“炼金药水可不是乡下草药师熬出来的臭药膏,就连穷一点的佣兵都不一定用得起它们,平民怎么可能用得起？哪怕我们卖给平民,他们也没人买啊！” „This point your need not was worried, since I said new-style alchemy medicine can sell to the civilians, then has considered the price on the nature, I can guarantee, clenches teeth to undertake their small advantage to the common third estate, regional aristocrats can also use this potion to their armies.” “这一点你不用担心,我既然说了新式的炼金药剂是可以卖给平民的,那就自然考虑过价格,我可以保证,它们便宜到一般的平民阶级咬咬牙就能承担,各地的贵族也可以给他们的军队用上这种药水。” Gawain has not spoken the words directly is too big, without pledging anything „even serf can also use alchemy medicine”, because this is not realistic. Not every Feudal Territory is like Cecil territory, the overwhelming majority place in this world, the serf private property is almost zero, even if Gawain does alchemy medicine again cheap, these serf bottle cap cannot afford, in this regard, current Gawain is helpless. 高文没有直接把话说太大,没有承诺什么“连农奴也用得起炼金药剂”因为这是不现实的。并非每个领地都跟塞西尔领一样,在这个世界上的绝大多数地方,农奴的私人财产几乎为零,哪怕高文把炼金药剂搞的再便宜,那些农奴也还是连个瓶盖都买不起,在这方面,目前的高文还无能为力。 Can enable on other Feudal Territory the civilians of middle-grade condition( or resident) to use alchemy medicine, is he at present the biggest goal. 能够让其他领地上中等条件的平民(或者说市民)能用得起炼金药剂,已经是他目前最大的目标了。 To the Gawain's view, the Paderick first response questioned this is impossible, but sees in no vacillation the expression to the square features, he has not said this saying wisely, but was the trade model on pure opponent book conducted the appraisal: „Good, I must say, the thing that on this writes filled wisdom, if you must sell is not alchemy potion, but is the grain cloth, I will also rise a stair to its appraisal. However do I have the last question...... your so many alchemy medicine?” 对高文的说法,帕德里克第一反应还是质疑这不可能,但看到对方脸上毫无动摇的表情,他明智地没有把这话说出来,而是单纯对手册上的贸易模式进行了评价:“好吧,那我要说,这上面所写的东西充满了智慧如果您要卖的不是炼金药水,而是粮食布匹的话,我对它的评价还会上升一个台阶。不过我还有最后一个疑问……您有这么多的炼金药剂么？” This „commercial scholar” spreads out the hand: „Wanting ‚force-feeding’ such a sales system, alchemy medicine that needs is not a small number.” 这位“商业学者”摊开手:“要‘喂饱’这么一个销售体系,所需要的炼金药剂可不是个小数目啊。” Gawain shows a faint smile, to side with two attendant beckon with the hand: „Goes to move that several box samples.” 高文微微一笑,对身旁跟来的两个侍从摆摆手:“去把那几箱子样品搬进来。” „Several...... several boxes?” “几……几箱子？”
