#57: Elf, currency, irrigation

Amber finishes speaking, Gawain on all of a sudden has turned the head with fixed eyes is staring at her, is scared the whole body that this Half-Elf thief looks at: „You...... your look is what meaning......” 琥珀这边话音刚落,高文就唰一下子转过头直勾勾的盯着她,直把这个半精灵盗贼看的浑身发毛:“你……你那眼神是什么意思……” The Gawain's look seems like looking at the alien: „Why will you know Druid?” 高文的眼神就像是在看个外星生物:“你为什么会认识一个德鲁伊？” „Why I cannot know Druid!” Amber forks the waist to be righteous, „my how many are Half-Elf is good- all Druid do faction stem from Elf you not to hear all over the world?” “我凭什么不能认识一个德鲁伊！”琥珀叉着腰理直气壮,“我多少是半个精灵好么-普天之下所有德鲁伊派系都起源于精灵你没听说过啊？” As long as which sharp ear these words are other say, but this Disgrace of Elves said that is really does not have a persuasive power, Gawain sized up was still maintaining Miss Thief of righteous face, long time suppressed one: „Was before steals others thing therefore to bear a grudge, that understanding that the world chased down?” 这句话但凡是别的哪个尖耳朵说出来也就罢了,但这个精灵之耻说出来那是真没一点说服力,高文上上下下打量着仍然保持理直气壮脸的盗贼小姐,半晌才憋出一句:“是以前偷过人家东西所以被记恨上了,让人满世界追杀的那种认识么？” „You are insult my personality I to tell you!” Amber has a fit of bad temper to jump immediately generally, „how I steal the thing possibly to be discovered!” “你这是侮辱我人格我跟你讲！”琥珀顿时炸毛一般地蹦起来,“我偷东西怎么可能被人发现！” Gawain: „......” 高文:“……” Always felt that which the angle of this fool rebuttal has is not right. 总感觉这货反驳的角度有哪不对。 However although on the mouth is questioning, but looked the appearance that Amber that said with certainty, this fellow really knew Druid unexpectedly probably, moreover she also same introduced with the promoter: „I you told that I knew that fellow is not only Druid, is scholar Druid, anything understands some that his Druid faction is good class origin and performance ‚’ specially Heart of Forest, excels copes with the zoology and botany, absolutely reliable......” 不过虽然嘴上质疑着,但看琥珀那言之凿凿的样子,这家伙竟好像真的认识一个德鲁伊,而且她还跟个推销商一样介绍起来:“我跟你们说啊,我认识那家伙不光是个德鲁伊,还是个学者型的德鲁伊,什么东西都懂一些的那种,他的德鲁伊派系是根正苗红的‘林木之心’,特别擅长的就是对付动植物,绝对可靠……” Gawain believed the excuse of this fellow finally, but how he has not closely examined Amber to know with that mysterious Druid in detail, as well as opposite party the name origin wait/etc details of- the present asked that these are not quite obviously polite. After listening to the Amber sales promotion word, he only asked two questions: „Can you also contact with him now? If can relate, how long you do want to be able him to bring?” 高文终于相信了这家伙的说辞,不过他并没有详细追问琥珀与那位神秘德鲁伊是如何认识,以及对方的姓名来历等等细节-现在就问这些显然不太礼貌。在听完琥珀的推销词之后,他只问了两个问题:“你现在还能联系到他么？如果能联系到,你要多久能把他带来？” „Relation said that although the world said that Druid lived in seclusion does not look well, but I knew that the activities of that fellow were very fixed, area Southern Region, can bring regarding how long......” “联系好说,虽然世人都说德鲁伊深居简出不好找,但我认识那家伙的活动范围很固定,就在南境一带,至于说多久能带来嘛……” Amber is saying while gives Gawain to signal with the eyes unceasingly: „I look for his time can actually Shadow Rush, but comes back perhaps can only honest hurry on, both of us be able to walk many depends on means of transportation quickly, means of transportation, do you understand?” 琥珀一边说着一边不断给高文使眼色:“我去找他的时候倒是可以一路暗影疾行,但回来的时候恐怕就只能老老实实赶路了,我们俩能走多快取决于交通工具,交通工具,你懂呗？” Gawain understands immediately the meaning of opposite party, the big hand wields fishes out in several copper coin stopper her hands: „Buys the double new shoes.” 高文立刻理解了对方的意思,大手一挥摸出几个铜板塞她手上:“去买双新鞋。” Amber is staring: „...... Does not bring your! Moreover how you said that also selects money to be used to give people family belongings advance payment to me? Even if the acquaintance introduced must pull out the employment fee/spent good!” 琥珀瞪着眼睛:“……不带你这样的！而且你怎么说也得给我点钱用来给人家当定金吧？哪怕是熟人介绍也得掏雇佣费的好么！” „Did you say early cannot?” Gawain cracks a joke with Amber, after all looked appearance very amusing that this girl scurries about, but after the joke has opened, seriously treats, he fished out to suppress the unification big or small gold and silver to be tall and slender from another pocket, „took away, handled this matter- remaining many were your.” “你早这么说不就得了？”高文只是跟琥珀开个玩笑,毕竟看这姑娘上蹿下跳的样子很有趣,但玩笑开过之后还是得认真对待的,他又从另一个口袋里摸出了一些压制成统一大小的金银细条,“拿去吧,把这事搞定-剩下多少就都是你的。” Amber face covered in smiles received these sparkling treasure immediately. 琥珀顿时喜笑颜开地接过了那些亮晶晶的宝贝。 The work that because minting needs has not prepared to be at the right place, „Cecil coins” was still only thing in the concept, therefore Gawain makes smith make this type of gold fragments silver slivers to be used some gold and silver in treasury with the transaction temporarily. 由于铸币所需的工作还没准备到位,“塞西尔制币”仍然只是个概念中的东西,因此高文临时让工匠将宝库中的一些金银制成了这种碎金碎银用来和外界交易。 This approach in this world not unusual- by precious metal as bargaining chip of direct circulation . Moreover the commercial system also very primitive middle ages, the purity was the certain extent gold and silver is the currency, every so often made the coin for ease of carrying, examining and counting gold and silver, but the merchants also accepted direct gold and silver transaction- this transaction were just many process of the inspection quality and weighing computation, therefore when with gold and silver purchase cargo, the price will enhance some directly slightly. 这种做法在这个世界并不稀奇-以贵金属作为直接流通的交易筹码,而且商业体系还很原始的中世纪,纯度达到一定程度的金银本身就是货币,很多时候将金银制成硬币只是为了便于携带、验看和统计而已,但商人们同样也接受直接的金银交易-只不过这种交易就多了个查验成色和称量计算的过程,因此在直接用金银购买货物的时候,价格都会稍稍提高一些。 Naturally, this also in aristocrats „currency prestige” still under sufficient premise, the impurity that if some day the aristocrats mix in gold and silver coins achieves to be able the degree of stabbing pain merchant, then the unofficial bullion will exceed the currency that the imperial family and Duke issue in turn, becomes mainstream transaction, if you use gold and silver coins to go shopping, instead meets the price to be higher. 当然,这也是在贵族们的“货币信誉”仍然够用的前提下,如果有朝一日贵族们在金银币里掺的杂质达到能够刺痛商人的程度,那么非官方的金银块就会反过来超过皇室和公爵们发行的货币,成为主流的交易物,而如果你用金银币来买东西,反而会价格更高。 Why this is also God of Commerce crest can be Balance (Tianping/Scale), but Balance (Tianping/Scale) both sides are putting an iron shear and an eye respectively- iron shear and Balance (Tianping/Scale) are the things that the merchant carries along, the former is used for the vertical and horizontal relationships that cuts gold and silver to make, the latter is used in the weighing, but the eye, that is a good merchant to have, can see gold and silver quality the good eye. 这也是为什么商业之神的徽记会是一个天平,而天平两端分别放着一把铁剪和一只眼睛-铁剪与天平都是商人随身携带的东西,前者用来剪开金银制成的条块,后者则用于称重,而眼睛,那便是一个好商人必须有的、能够看出金银成色的好眼力。 Actually if not Gawain many a little OCD, wants the casting to be fine , and has characteristic gold and silver coins, he can definitely come „minting” with the way of simple and crude- casts the dowel gold and silver, then the direct slice, gets Cecil's crest above with the steel seal again then. For Ainz 536 years of Western Region Duke time-saving reduce effort and reduction pays to the smith cost, then has used this way, but that year Western Region gold and silver coins was also called „the safe passage money of miser”-, because then Western Region law stipulated, all the currency exchange that merchants who entered Western Region must along one-third was Western Region gold and silver coins, when passed through any checkpoint to with this inferior gold and silver coins settle accounts. 其实如果不是高文多少有点强迫症,非要铸造精致而且有特色的金银币的话,他完全可以用更简单粗暴的方式来“铸币”-将金银铸成圆棒,然后直接切成薄片,再在上面用钢印打上塞西尔的徽记即可。安苏536年的西境公爵为了省时省力以及减少支付给工匠的成本,便用过这种方式,而那一年的西境金银币也被戏称为“吝啬鬼的买路钱”-因为当时的西境法律规定,所有进入西境的商人都必须将随身三分之一的货币兑换为西境金银币,并且在经过任何关卡的时候都必须用这种劣质的金银币来结算。 The currency and economy of this world are such mysterious. 这个世界的货币与经济就是这么神奇。 Amber left overjoyed, this Miss Half-Elf almost flutters is running off from everyone at present, this makes Hetty deep be cannot help but anxious: „She should not have these gold and silver to run away......” 琥珀欢天喜地地离开了,这位半精灵小姐几乎是飘着从大家眼前跑开的,这让赫蒂不由得深深忧虑起来:“她该不会带着那些金银跑掉了吧……” „Brings money along to flee?” Gawain whispered, then deeply thinks that Disgrace of Elves perhaps is really competent this matter...... “携款潜逃么？”高文嘀咕了一句,然后深深认为那个精灵之耻说不定真能干出这种事…… Ok, at this time believes slightly she- does not have other prospect in any case. 算了,这时候还是稍微相信一下她吧-反正也没别的指望。 The entire camp can also discover second to be known as that knows the Druid person? 整个营地还能找出第二个号称认识德鲁伊的人么？ After Amber leaves, Gawain then pulls back in the attention the present reclamation project. 而等到琥珀离开之后,高文便把注意力重新拉回到眼前的开垦项目上。 That senior farmer named Norris has lowered the head peacefully the waiting, does not sway the body and looking around like the common poor in this case, has not opened the mouth rashly, as if has been waiting for the Gawain question. 那位名叫诺里斯的老农夫一直安静地低着头等待,既不像一般的贫民那样在这种情况下摇晃身子、东张西望,也没有贸然开口,仿佛一直在等着高文问话。 „What issue do this places have?” Gawain asked that „, so long as possibly had the problem, had better be able say as soon as possible.” “这片地还有什么问题没有？”高文问道,“只要是可能出现问题的,都最好能尽早说出来。” „Words that must speak, is the topography is higher than river bank some, the canal is hard to be direct drawing water, but must dig the ditch or the well drilling from the upstream,” Norris replied, „was also good, if had the rainstorm and so on matter caused Clearwater River to rise, need not was worried actually the farmland was submerged.” “非要说的话,就是地势高于河滩一些,水渠难以直接引水,还得从上游挖渠或者打井,”诺里斯回答道,“不过也有好处,如果发生暴雨之类的事情导致白水河上涨,倒是不用担心农田被淹没掉。” drawing water......, if has water pump or similar lifting gear then can facilitate the solution, or with this world „characteristic technology”, looks for mage that water element is expert to come the irrigation fields, but obviously the second road is far-fetched- after camp enters the right track, the matter that Hetty must be busy at can only be getting more and more, she is impossible to have the opportunity to run over to work as the manpower water pump again, but employment official mage is responsible for irrigating fields...... this, even if northern Violet Kingdom or south Elves cannot do this luxurious matter, said again, even if the Cecil Family money is the space falls, has several. Is mage willing to arrive at the fields to do „dirty job that this type humble talent can do”? 引水……如果有抽水泵或者类似的提升机械便可以方便解决,或者用这个世界的“特色技术”,找个水元素专精的法师过来浇地,但显然第二条路是不靠谱的-营地进入正轨之后,赫蒂要忙的事情只能越来越多,她不可能再有机会跑过来当个人力水泵,而雇佣一个正式法师过来负责浇地……这哪怕是北方的紫罗兰王国或者南边的精灵们都干不出这种奢侈的事儿来,再说了,即便塞西尔家的钱是天上掉下来的,又有几个法师愿意来到田间地头干这种“低贱人才会干的脏活”呢？ They rather take few time of rewards, goes to castle of King and in big aristocrat sets off the smoke and fire for the banquet, is good to try to please these to crack with the teeth looking deathly pale not human and not ghost noble lady and aristocrat young ladies who magic medicine cracks with the teeth. 他们宁可拿着少一倍的报酬,去国王和大贵族的城堡里为宴会放烟火,好取悦那些嗑魔药嗑的脸色惨白不人不鬼的贵妇人和贵族小姐们。 Therefore Gawain first eliminated looked for mage to work as the thought of flesh water pump, then considered solution from the angle of machinery- naturally, if according to the general custom of this world, the aristocrats solved this kind of problem the general mentality is to look for many serf works, but regarding Gawain, the manpower waste at this matter was really extremely luxurious. 所以高文第一时间打消了找个法师来当人肉水泵的念头,转而从机械的角度去考虑解决之道-当然,如果是按照这个世界的一般规矩,贵族们解决此类问题的一般思路都是找更多的农奴去干活,但对于高文而言,把人力浪费在这种事情上实在是太过奢侈了。 At this time, an ancient and effective machinery appeared in the Gawain mind: „Have you heard thing named waterwheel?” 这时,一个古老而有效的机械浮现在高文脑海中:“你们有没有听说过一种叫做水车的东西？” Hetty, Norris and Knight Philip three faces compel ignorant. 赫蒂、诺里斯和菲利普骑士三脸懵逼。 Really no one has heard this type of thing. 果然没人听说过这种东西。 Gawain looks at Hetty: „Has the written records?” 高文看着赫蒂:“有纸笔么？” After obtaining the written records, Gawain starts to outline simple sketch. That is a very high wheel shape thing, with spoke strip support, in „wheel” the outflow boundary is fixing the inclined cylinder and plank structure of orderly arrangement, but in this „wheel” one side, then draws the water trough that is extending. 得到纸笔之后,高文开始勾勒一幅简单的草图。那是一个很高的车轮状事物,用辐条支撑,在“车轮”的外缘则固定着整齐排列的倾斜圆筒和木板结构,而在这个“车轮”的一侧,则画着一条延伸出去的水槽。 Because the time is limited, he only drew this waterwheel portion structure, moreover is sketch, but this simple and mysterious machinery has the astonishing succinct principle, so long as explained slightly then: „This thing is waterwheel, the river water winds through from below, attacks these planks, driving waterwheel to revolve, then waterwheel fulling floaded operation the tube belt/bring of water will arrive above, the water pours into to this inside the cistern, this process will circulate unceasingly, the water was mentioned the high place. Can raise specifically high, then depends on a big way, so long as the material quality that waterwheel makes can support on the line.” 由于时间有限,他只画出了这个水车的一部分结构,而且是一幅草图,但这个简单而神奇的机械有着惊人简洁的原理,只要稍微解释即可:“这个东西就是水车,河水从下面流过,冲击这些木板,带动水车旋转,然后水车就会把灌满水的筒带到上面,水被注入到这条水槽里,这个过程不断循环,水就被提到了高处。具体能提多高,则取决于水车造的有多大,只要材质撑得住就行。” Saying, he supplemented one: „Naturally, this is only sketch, the principle is also very simple, can have more models in this foundation......” 说着,他又补充了一句:“当然,这个只是草图,原理也很简单,在这个基础上可以有更多的型号……” Hetty could have ignored speech at this moment completely- she completely by this simple and inconceivable thing capturing attention. 赫蒂此刻已经完全顾不上说话-她完全被这个简单而不可思议的东西给吸引住了目光。 Only needs to infer simply, she can see this machinery is absolutely useful, however before seeing this sketch, she really never wants to pass away will have such a thing: 只需要简单的推理,她就能看出这个机械是绝对有用的,然而在看到这幅草图之前,她真的从未想过世间会有这样一种东西: It does not need the manpower, does not need the participation of any extraordinary force, it can keep working day and night, completes the work that needs many serf to complete, but promotes its- is the strength of nature. 它不需要人力,也不需要任何超凡力量的参与,它可以昼夜不停地工作,完成需要很多农奴才能完成的工作,而推动它的-是大自然的力量。 She felt „beautiful” from this simple machinery suddenly, originally with the phrase that crude benzene primitive structure did not touch on slightly. 她突然从这个简单的机械中感受到了“美”,一个本来和那粗苯原始的结构毫不沾边的字眼。 However Gawain is sighing: „Here does not only have the bamboo pitifully, otherwise made to be simpler......” 然而高文还是在叹气:“只可惜这边没有竹子,否则造起来就简单多了……” Hetty has not heard clearly suddenly: „? What did you say a moment ago?” 赫蒂一时间没听清:“啊？您刚才说什么？” „No, no,” Gawain beckons with the hand, „about this machinery, what idea you also has?” “不,没什么,”高文摆摆手,“关于这个机械,你们还有什么想法没？” Hetty just wants saying that this is a talent design, actually saw that nearby Norris took the pen, outlines on a paper of blank, this old farmer is outlining while said: „Makes it at Clearwater River Bank will receive the influence of river water very much, the dry season the time directly cannot use, if can other direct a ditch in side, dry season time......” 赫蒂刚想说这是个天才般的设计,却看到旁边的诺里斯拿起了笔,在一张空白的纸上勾勾画画起来,这位老农一边勾画着一边说道:“直接把它造在白水河边会很受河水的影响,旱季的时候就不能用了,要是能在旁边另外引一条渠,旱季的时候……” Notices periphery suddenly peaceful, Norris then startles all of a sudden to respond, terrified throws away the pen, the whole body trembles to draw back: „Lord, I am only......” 注意到周围突然安静,诺里斯这才激灵一下子反应过来,紧接着惶恐地把笔扔开,浑身发抖地退开:“老爷,我只是……” The words that however Gawain spoke are more than he expected: „Will you write?” 然而高文说的话却大出他的意料:“你会写字么？”
