Ifdiscovered that the futureis notdoes business, will drum outimmediately. The market that makes noisewithoutsideis greatly different, here everyone mostlypeacefulsittingdiscussed the respectivematterincorner.不像外面的市场,进到黑市里,没有一个商贩向罗德打招呼。他们就像一个个吃饱没事做的老市民,用一双双屠夫般的眼睛打量着进来的每一个人。如果发现来者不是来做生意的,立马会被轰走。和外面喧闹的市场大不同,这里的每个人大多安静的坐在角落里谈各自的事情。
The black marketdoes not have the unifiedmanagement, the total darknessbasementonelayer upon layerdownward, inmorelevel, tradedthingmore precious as gold, the upper layermostlytradessomeinferior goods, ores, the handmade article, salt, winewait/etc, the lower leveltrades the expensivecommodity, for examplecold weaponsfromDwarfworkshop, from the northernivoryandcoffee beanfromArabyareaandtobacco, evenalsosilk, spicefrom Eastwait/etc.
黑市也没有统一的管理,暗无天日的地下室一层层向下,越里层,贩卖的东西就越金贵,上层大多贩卖一些低档商品、矿石、手工制品、盐、葡萄酒等等,下层则贩卖贵重商品,比如来自矮人工坊的冷兵器、来自北方的象牙、来自阿拉比地区的咖啡豆、烟草、甚至还有来自东方的丝绸、香料等等。But the sources of thesecommoditiesmostlyare notthatbright, hasthrough the smugglingvia the flowing inblack market, hasthrough the special powertransactionflowing inblack market, somearesnatchto steal, thesethingsare unable to displaytradeoutwardly, in the undergroundmarket transaction, the priceusuallywill be then lower than the regularmarket. Forsomemerchants the maximum benefit, Taobao, will take riskshere.
而这些商品的来源大多也不是那么光明,有通过走私途经流进黑市的,有通过特殊权力交易流进黑市的,还有一些是抢来偷来的,这些东西无法摆上明面交易,便在地下市场交易,价格通常会比正规市场低很多。有些商人为了最大利益,会在这里淘宝,铤而走险。Person who Rodmustfindlower levelblack market, Joysenis a cruel and mercilesssmuggler, twicebellswere once put in prison, leaves prisonthrough the bribemethodtwice, he oldofficialswiththiscityalsohasmanyfriendship.罗德所要找的人在黑市下层,乔伊森是一个心狠手辣的走私犯,曾经两次铃铛入狱,又通过贿赂手段两次出狱,他和这座城市的旧官员们也有着不少交情。WhenRodfoundhim, thisfellowjustand a merchantconversationfromTilea, seesRodto arrive, immediatelycloses downbusinesson hand, sits facing one another and talkswithRod.
当罗德找到他时,这家伙正和一名来自提利尔的商人交谈,看到罗德到来,立刻放下手头的生意,与罗德坐谈。„Sinceprevioustimemeetsnow, hasa halfyear? Oh , to continue, eightmonths?”
“自从上次见面到现在,已经有半年?噢,不止,八个月了吧?”Joysen the Rodbelt/bringtohisoneselfroom, thisisonein the secret room that on the rockwallchisels. Windowless, without the porch pillar, the simplefurnitureplacesin the room. Redbigrugevenshop/spreadfromTileaon the ground, briefactuallyvalue not poor. Becauseisspring, inrelativesouthernposition, withoutlighting a fire, in the roomwill not feelcoldly.乔伊森将罗德带到他自己的房间,这是一间在岩石墙壁上凿出来的密室。没有窗户,没有廊柱,只有简单的家具摆放在屋内。一张来自提利尔的红色大地毯平铺在地上,简约却价值不菲。由于是春季,又在相对南方的位置,即便没有生火,房间内也不会感觉寒冷。Justpassed through the gatetime, the maidthendelivered the burning incensekisson own initiative, andput into the bosom of Joysen.
刚进门的时候,女佣便主动送上香吻,并投入乔伊森的怀抱。„Takes the superiorBrettoniawine, comes upto the Great Lordend.”
“去拿上等的巴托尼亚葡萄酒,给大领主端上来。”Hisfeedback a maidfragrantkiss, pattedbuttocks of maidconveniently. Thatfemalethenswings the plumpbuttocksto enter the smallroom in next door.
他回馈了女佣人一个香吻,顺手拍了一个女佣的屁股。那女的这才摇着肥厚的臀部走进隔壁的小房间。„Un, eightmonths, Blackhammer Fort, althoughis small, matter that hasbeing able to finish.”
“嗯,八个月了,黑锤堡虽小,却有忙不完的事。”Rodsits, returns.罗德坐下来,回到。„Youwere too earnest, something can definitely giveprocess, youareLord, can definitely make timeto enjoy the life. IfIyou, will asktenmaidsto cometometo warm the bed. Every nighttradesone, thatlife, was called the life of Lord.”
“你太认真了,有些事完全可以交给手下去处理,你是领主,完全可以腾出时间享受生活。我若是你,会找十个女仆来给我暖床。每晚换一个,那生活,才叫领主的生活。”Sitsopposite ofRod, Joysenspoke. A self-confidentsmilehas strokedhiscorners of the mouth. Obviously, regardingenjoyinglife, hehas an opinion of oneself. Warhammer Worldis high-riskfrequently, might as wellmake merry while one can, thisis the thought of manyhuman. The hedonismis in vogueinEmpire, is not1-2 years of matter.
坐在罗德对面,乔伊森说到。一丝自信的笑容拂过他的嘴角。显然,对于享受生活,他有着自己的一番见解。战锤世界时时刻刻充满危险,不如及时行乐,这是许多人类的思想。享乐主义在帝国盛行,也不是1-2的事。„I may be unable to comesuchlife, mustplay the leading role, moreover, I have the daughter, Imustmakeherhave a purechildhood.”
“我可过不来那样的生活,总要给手下起个带头作用,另外,我还有女儿,我必须让她有一个纯净的童年。”Rodrepliedwith a smile.罗德笑着回答到。„Purechildhood? Childhood, whenshegrew up, samemustfacethisrealworld. Do youwantto trainKnightyour daughter? FemaleKnight? Haha, do not think, Knightthispersoncrossespainfully. Youunderstand.”
“纯净的童年?只是童年而已,等她长大了,一样要面对这个真实的世界。你难道想把你女儿培养成一个骑士?女骑士?哈哈,别想了,骑士这种人过得最痛苦。你懂的。”Joysensmiles. Helitcigaretteconveniently, the flavor of tobaccofilled the airimmediatelyin the entireroom.乔伊森笑到。他随手点了一根烟,烟草的味道顿时弥漫在整个房间内。„Oh, no matter what, Ido not hopemakeshersee a being dead drunkfather. Moreover, southnorthnotyousuchprettywoman.”
“唉,不管怎样,我可不希望让她看到一个烂醉如泥的父亲。而且,北方没有你们南方这么漂亮的女人。”Rodis cracking a joke.罗德开着玩笑。„South? Prettywoman? Do not crack a joke, friend, Blackhammer FortfromBaker, only thenless thanfourdays of ranges, ifherealsocalled the south, whatthenAltdorfdid call? Tropics?”SmugglerJoysenspoke, „as for the prettywoman, Kislev some were, theseIce Witch, theirskinswere fair, staturefirst-class, heard that Ice QueenKatarinwas the beautiful woman in beautiful woman. Looked that cancancelyoursoul. Ifcanmakemerest her evening, Iam willingto sell outmycompletefamily property.”
“南方?漂亮的女人?不要开玩笑了,朋友,黑锤堡距离贝克城只有不到四天的航程,如果这里也叫南方的话,那么阿尔道夫叫什么?热带?”走私犯乔伊森说到,“至于漂亮女人,基斯里夫有的是,那些霜寒女巫就是啊,她们皮肤白皙细腻,身材一流,听说冰雪女王卡特琳娜更是美人中的美人。看一眼就能勾走你的魂。如果可以让我睡她一晚,我愿意卖掉我的全部家产。”Joysenspoke. During the spoken languagesfloodsis being obsceneanddirty, butundeniably, inEmpiremostmerchants, the middle classthenlikehim, lead a dissipated life, is fantasizingon the strongwhole worldmost beautifulbeautiful woman, restsonbed that in the gold coinpilebecomes.乔伊森说到。言语间充斥着下流与龌龊,但是不可否认,帝国里大多数商人,中产阶级便是像他这样,生活糜烂,幻想着强上全天下最美的美人,睡在金币堆成的大床上。Rodhad to dowithsuchpersonis not1-2 days, mustdevelop needs to dowith the people from various circlesperson, the step to success was not always problem-free, was bright.罗德与这样的人打交道也不是1-2了,要发展就需要与社会各界的人打交道,成功之路从来都不是一帆风顺,只有光明的。During the spoken languages, thatmaidhas come up the liquorwaterend, gaveRodwith the stem glassabundantlyfullonecup. Immediatelysitson the Joysenthigh, a prettyappearance. Herstature and cheek are actually less thanCarolinehalf, makingRodlooksomewhatdisgustingly. HoweverJoysenactuallyhas fun.
言语间,那名女佣已经将酒水端上来,用高脚杯给罗德盛了满满一杯。随即一屁股坐在乔伊森大腿上,一副娇滴滴的样子。只是,她的身材和脸蛋却不及卡洛琳的一半,让罗德看了有些恶心。不过乔伊森却乐在其中。„ShecalledBetty, the prostitute in Bakermost upscalebrothel, Iboughther, asmyexclusivemaid.”
“她叫贝蒂,贝克城最高档的妓院里的妓女,我把她买下来,作为我的专属女佣。”Rodavoidsdiligently, goes back the right track the topic.罗德努力回避,将话题拉回正轨。„Said the proper business, the confidential letter did youlook?”
“说正事吧,密信你看了吗?”Rodasked.罗德问到。Joysenkept a serious look, hesent the maidfirstto get out of the way, avoidsa while. Hehas the matter to withthisnorthLorddiscuss.乔伊森的表情严肃了起来,他打发女佣先走开,回避一会儿。他有事要和这位北方领主谈。
The womengot out of the wayon the tactfulpulling upclothesquickly. Leaves behindsmugglerJoysenandRodtwo peoplespeaks in detailin the airtightroom.
女人很快就识趣的拉起衣服走开了。留下走私犯乔伊森和罗德两人在密闭的房间内详谈。„Othercargosdo not have the issue, the priceto openas you like, wewere the old friends, each othertrust. However the matter of munitions, Ireallydo not have the means. The truthtoldyou, newly appointedthemunicipalofficerIandhewere not ripe, heard that was the OstlandArchdukenephew, a pretty boy, beforeheassumed the post, basicallyhas not leftWolfenburg. Looks down upon the outsider, particularly the person outside Empire.”
“其他货物都没问题,价格随你开,我们是老朋友了,彼此信任。但是军火的事,我实在没办法。实话告诉你吧,新上任的这位市政官我和他并不熟,听说是奥斯特大公爵的外甥,一个小白脸,在他到任之前,基本上都没有离开沃尔芬堡。看不起外乡人,尤其是帝国以外的人。”Joyceis saying, deeplysmoked a cigarette, numerousputting out, the smoke ringsraiseslowly, just like the time of pollution, paces back and forth. Through the description of Joysen, Rod had almost the preliminary understanding of the Ironclawflying back without any resultsincident.
乔伊斯说着,深吸了一口香烟,再重重的吐出,烟圈徐徐升起,宛如浑浊的时光,徘徊不去。通过乔伊森的描述,罗德对铁爪无功而返一事差不多有了初步的了解。„Thatcannot, becauselooks down upon the outsidernot to do business? Whom does the createdfinanceloseto be responsible for?”
“那总不能因为瞧不起外乡人就不做生意吧?造成的财政损失谁来负责?”Rodclosely examines.罗德追问到。„No, no, Rod, myold friend, youtreatedin the Blackhammer Forttimewere too long, does not knowabout the matter,youshouldcome outto walk, Empireissued the newlawearlysix months ago, reduced the firearmexit|to speak, manyplacesare limiting the use of firearm. Except that the regular armyequipsas beforemassively, otherplaces, startedto banstrictly.”
“不,不,罗德,我的老朋友,你待在黑锤堡的时间太长了,对许多事已经不了解,你应该多出来走一走,帝国早在半年前就下达了新的法令,减少火器出口,许多地方都在限制火器的使用。除了正规军依旧大规模装备,其他地方,都开始禁严了。”Joyceis saying, pinches out the cigarette in hand.
乔伊斯说着,将手中的香烟掐灭。„Why?”
“为什么?”„Why? Verysimple, each regionstartedto the rule of Empirediscontentedly, the floorciviliansstartedto lose everythingto armoneself, purchased the firearm, resistedwith the Empireregular army. So long assomelocal armed forcesmercenariesrichdo, regardless ofanythingmeetsexactly, thisalsoindirectlyaffected the Empirelong-term peace and good government. Therefore, Emperorissued an instructionsix months ago, ineach regiontrade, the arms trademuststrictlycontrol. Has the regularapproval process to leave port. Haven't youdiscovered? The firearm in black markettailed off, the pricealsobecamehigh. Why? The riskenhanced, the pricenaturallyalsoenhanced.”
“为什么?很简单,各地对帝国的统治都开始不满了,底层平民开始砸锅卖铁武装自己,购买火器,与帝国的正规军对抗。一些地方武装雇佣军只要有钱就干,无论什么活都接,这也间接影响了帝国的长治久安。于是,皇帝在半年前就下达了一项指令,各地贸易中,军火贸易必须严格控制。有正规的审批程序才能出港。你没发现吗?黑市里的火器都变少了,价格也变高了。为什么?风险提高了,价格自然也就提高了。”
The Joysencalmfacespoke. Rodcanguess correctly,thislawactuallyalsoaffectedhim, solelywas not the trade revenuereduced, hehired the expense of goonalsoconsiderablyto increase. After all, the mercenariescannot obtain the weapon, the quantitywill reduce, the quantityreduces, but the demanddoes not reduce, means the priceto be ablewhen production costs rise, prices rise too. Smuggles the big shotregardingJoysenthistype, hemusthire the goon. Thereupon, before and newofficialhitsrelates, Joysen is also the headache.乔伊森沉着脸说到。罗德可以猜到,这项法令其实也影响到他了,不单单是贸易收入减少了,他雇佣打手的费用也大大增加了。毕竟,雇佣军得不到武器,数量就会减少,数量减少而需求不减,意味着价格就会水涨船高。对于乔伊森这种走私大佬来说,他是不可能不雇佣打手的。于是乎,在没有和新任官员打好关系之前,乔伊森也是头疼。
