Greets the Marienburg team then to gather at early morning at the Erengrad wharf, a Rod military garb, is waiting for this batch personally from the western world wealthiest person. Must develop, then has no alternative but to integrate into this world. Rod fully realized, by the Kislev oneself strength, is unable to rise in a short time, even if or the time is long, is unable to rise. It needs the ally, needs the support of external force, Dwarf has striven to part, but Empire aspect, is joining slowly. 迎接玛丽恩堡的队伍在清晨便聚集在厄伦格拉德码头,罗德一身戎装,亲自等待着这批来自西方世界最富裕的人。要发展,便不能不融入这个世界。罗德深知,靠基斯里夫自己的力量,是无法在短时间内崛起的,或者说,即便时间再长,也根本无法崛起。它需要盟友,需要外部力量的支持,矮人已经争取到一部分,而帝国方面,也正在慢慢加入。 The magnificent merchant ship drives into the harbor slowly, the Marienburg golden color anchor symbol is and out under the genial sunlight. 华丽的商船缓缓驶入港口,玛丽恩堡金色船锚徽记在和煦的阳光下忽隐忽现。 When they approach shore, Rod and one group of Erengrad city officials have stood in the wharf waited there for some time. The surrounded people gather at the wharf surrounding, although does not know that who the future is, but can let North Great Lord, Kislev protects the country Duke personally the person who comes out to greet, certainly is not the average person. 当他们靠岸的时候,罗德和一帮厄伦格拉德的市政官员们已经站在码头等候多时了。围观的群众聚集在码头外围,虽然不知道来者是何人,但是能够让北境大领主,基斯里夫护国公亲自出来迎接的人,一定不是一般人。 The Marienburg diplomat went down the ship in auspicious atmosphere. To him, at present is an impressive city. The ships that the harbor anchors are dense and numerous, masts just like the Knight long spear/gun, points to the vault of heaven. The Huangang main road is broad and neat, rows of joined bodies apartments stand erect one side of the coastal main road, on the street, the motorcade and pedestrian come and go, making noise to be busy. 玛丽恩堡的外交官在一片祥和的气氛中走下了船。对他来说,眼前是一座令人惊叹的城市。港口停泊的船只密密麻麻,一根根桅杆犹如骑士的长枪,直指苍穹。环港大道宽阔而整洁,一排排连体公寓矗立在沿海大道一侧,马路上,车队和行人来来往往,喧闹而繁忙。 The white city wall is abutting the coastline, raised the head to look, can see multibarreled shothole that on vaguely the tower over a city gate extends...... 白色的城墙紧靠着海岸线,抬头仰望,依稀可以看到城楼上伸出来的多管炮孔…… „Welcome your arrivals, the Marienburg friends.” “欢迎你们的到来,玛丽恩堡的朋友们。” Rod has the good regards the diplomat Dymars's train of thought to pull back. He raised the head to throw out the chest, made a standard diplomatic etiquette toward Rod. 罗德有好的问候将外交官迪马斯的思绪拉了回来。他抬头挺胸,朝罗德做出了一个标准的外交礼仪。 Rod smiles, invited the city hall this group of guests. 罗德则笑了笑,将这帮客人请进了市政厅。 Regarding Marienburg one group of big aristocrats, Rod understands much, initially the Norsca tribe armies went south, plunder Nordland, finally besieges Marienburg, is the Empire northern three Province Allied armies rushes promptly, solved encirclement of Marienburg. However, after the war ended, the big aristocrat in this city and financial groups, is actually debating unceasingly for the matter of war cash as a present. 对于玛丽恩堡的一帮大贵族,罗德可谓了解不少,当初诺斯卡部落大军南下,掠夺诺德领,最后围攻玛丽恩堡,是帝国北方三省联军及时赶到,才解了玛丽恩堡之围。然而,战争结束后,这座城市的大贵族和财团们,却在为战争礼金的事争论不休。 „Arrives at Erengrad previous time, is ten years ago. Has saying that this city was even more thriving under your governance.” “上一次来到厄伦格拉德,还是十年前。不得不说,这座城市在您的治理下越发繁荣昌盛了。” The diplomat thought highly is saying. 外交官恭维的说着。 But Rod has long been used to such situation, but smiles not to speak. The Marienburg envoy ten years have not stepped into Kislev actually real. This Kingdom, in the middle period of the north-south civil war, last batch of High Elf has evacuated from Erengrad in ten years turbulently, still still does not have High Elf ships to arrive in the Erengrad harbor. Empire and Marienburg person evacuates is earlier than High Elf, quickly. At the beginning of the civil war breaks out, the Marienburg merchants then spared nothing to ship out Kislev their assets. But now, saw that Kislev has stabilized, then looks for the opportunity, wants to come back again. 而罗德早已习惯这样的场合,只是笑而不语。玛丽恩堡的使者十年未踏进基斯里夫倒是真的。这个王国在十年间动荡不已,在南北内战中期,最后一批高等精灵就已经从厄伦格拉德撤离,至今仍然没有一艘高等精灵的船只抵达厄伦格拉德港口。帝国和玛丽恩堡的人则撤离得比高等精灵们更早,更快。在内战爆发之初,玛丽恩堡的商人们便不惜一切代价将他们的资产运出了基斯里夫。而现在,看到基斯里夫内部已经安定,便寻找机会,欲再次回来。 Rod knows certainly their thoughts, but, does business with Marienburg, meets at present the Kislev need, therefore, even if the front sits a false person, Rod still wants to be hard the facial skin and he discussed well. 罗德当然知道他们的心思,不过,与玛丽恩堡做生意,也符合目前基斯里夫的需要,所以,即便面前坐着一个虚伪之人,罗德也要硬着脸皮和他好好谈。 „Erengrad thriving has the inseparable relations with the support of Marienburg people, we welcome the Marienburg merchant and aristocrat earnestly come the Erengrad development investment.” “厄伦格拉德的繁荣昌盛和玛丽恩堡人民的支持有着密不可分的关系,我们热切欢迎玛丽恩堡的商人和贵族来厄伦格拉德发展投资。” Rod smalltalk. 罗德客套到。 „Marienburg and Kislev are for a long time the friendly cooperative partnerships . Moreover, from now on we must continue to carry forward this tradition......” “玛丽恩堡与基斯里夫是长期友好合作伙伴,而且,今后我们还要继续发扬这种传统……” Dymars's be with smile on the face return. 迪马斯面带微笑的回到。 After official beginning, is the official subject. Without a doubt, this is not the friendly visit, but has the goal. Before the negotiations, Rod has drawn up many plans, but now, then waits for the opposite party to put forward the request. Bargained back and forth again, frequents each other. The trade agreement between Kingdom sometimes and behavior of place merchant not two kinds. 官方开场之后,是正式的议题。毫无疑问,这不是什么友好访问,而是带着目的来的。谈判之前,罗德就已经拟定好了许多方案,而现在,便等着对方提要求了。再讨价还价,你来我往。王国之间的贸易协定有时和地方商人的行为并无两样。 „That is natural, Kislev has restored from the grief of civil war gradually, many cooperation can continue to develop, many business cooperation that particularly the bloody Katarin period has.” “那是自然,基斯里夫已经从内战的伤痛中渐渐恢复,许多合作可以继续开展了,尤其是血腥的卡特琳娜时期存在的许多商贸合作。” Rod spoke of a smile. 罗德笑着说到。 „This is must, we must the mutual trust cooperation. For common goal — — that is the common prosperity.” “这是必须的,我们必须互信互助。为了共同的目标——那就是共同繁荣。” Big pile of big pile of idle talk of before ejection that the conference table frequents each other, Alvis sit in the corner, looks at this scene that coldly, has almost not fallen asleep. 一大堆一大堆的废话在谈判桌前你来我往的抛出,阿尔维斯坐在角落里,冷冷的看着这一幕,差点没睡着。 But Rod is maintaining the etiquette , to continue to receive this from Western wealthiest port city „honored guest”. 而罗德则保持着礼仪,继续接待这位来自西方最富裕港口城市的“贵客”。 Finally, smalltalk after quite a while, the diplomat started to mention the key point. «Free Trade Written proposal» obviously, the opposite party is also prepared. 终于,客套半天后,外交官开始提及了重点。《自由通商倡议书》显然,对方也是有准备而来。 „Is free and open, is always the Marienburg tradition and spirit. Our seamen hold this to be dedicated and traditional, the exploration world, established the trade route with this many countries around the world and area. Makes the innumerable ships communicate between Marienburg and new Old World, the continuous wealth will deliver to this city. I think, Erengrad is also the same.” “自由与开放,一直以来都是玛丽恩堡的传统与精神。我们的海员秉着这份执着与传统,探索世界,与这个世界上许多国家和地区建立了贸易路线。使得无数的船只来往于玛丽恩堡与新旧大陆之间,将源源不断的财富送到了这座城市。我想,厄伦格拉德也是一样的。” The diplomat, continued to think highly of — — 外交官顿了顿,继续恭维到—— „Kislev under the leadership of new Queen Dannis already even more powerful, even more prospered, this is everyone is obvious to all. We need to enhance the cooperation, economically, is in the military. I heard that Great Lord you have the standing-by navy in Erengrad, making these northern Marauder not dare from marine invasion plundering. Really great magnificent feat.” “基斯里夫在新任女王丹尼斯的领导下已经愈发强大,愈发繁荣了,这是所有人都有目共睹的。我们需要加强合作,无论是经济上,还是军事上。我听说大领主您在厄伦格拉德备有常备海军,使得那些北方的掠夺者再也不敢从海上入侵掠夺。真是伟大的壮举。” The diplomat squeak squeak squeak squeak is saying, but Rod received that written proposal, carefully read. 外交官吱吱吱吱的说着,而罗德则接过那份倡议书,仔细阅读了起来。 Ignores the diplomat Dymars surprise the vision, Rod takes to begin a stroke directly, is delimiting the mark in the books back and forth. 不顾外交官迪马斯诧异的目光,罗德直接拿起笔,在书卷上来来回回划着标记。 Long time, hands over this written proposal to Dymars. 良久后,才将这份倡议书递回给迪马斯。 „We welcome the Marienburg friends to come the Kislev investment, the commerce. However, this agreement has many unreasonable place, I made the revision suggestion, you glance.” “我们欢迎玛丽恩堡的朋友们来基斯里夫投资,从商。但是,这份协议有许多不合理的地方,我都做了修改建议,你过目。” Then, Rod sits backward supinely, static waiting the response of Marienburg diplomatic corps. 说完,罗德向后仰坐着,静静的等待着玛丽恩堡外交使团的反应。 „Wines trade we have achieved consistently . Moreover, must continue to enhance the cooperation.” “酒类贸易我们已经达成一致,而且,必须继续加强合作。” Rod spoke. 罗德说到。 In fact, in written proposal most contents according to the past agreement, but some Marienburg people made the revision. However is this few some revisions, making Rod not agree resolutely. 事实上,倡议书里大部分内容都是按照以往的约定,只是少部分玛丽恩堡的人做了修改。但是就是这少部分修改,让罗德毅然不同意。 The wines trade has no change, because the two countries wines output is completely different, therefore the tax rate has been very stable, no protection policy. Kislev is rich in Vodka kind of strong liquor, but the Empire aspect is primarily the beer, both sides accord to his need, without benefit dispute. 酒类贸易没有什么改变,由于两国酒类产量完全不同,所以税率一直都很稳定,没有什么保护政策。基斯里夫盛产伏特加一类的烈酒,而帝国方面以啤酒生产为主,双方各取所需,没有利益争执。 Moreover the demand of wines basically stabilizes year after year, most is the civil war makes the production of Kislev somewhat not supply, causing the price of native high potency liquor to increase in recent years unceasingly, until stabilized recently. 而且酒类的需求基本上年年稳定,最多就是内战让基斯里夫的生产有些供应不上,导致近年来本土高浓度酒的价格不断攀升,直到最近才稳定下来。 The coal trade is also fair, to the Kislev severely cold country, the coal is the essential item like this, in the winter of every year before arriving, the folk and government must save the coal massively, to deal winter heating problem. Because the coal output of Kislev native place is not that sufficient, therefore, must import every year much from Empire. Regarding such rigid resources, the Marienburg aspect naturally does not dare to make many revisions. 煤炭贸易也是中规中矩,对于基斯里夫这样的严寒之国来说,煤炭属于必需品,每年冬天到来之前,民间和政府都要大量存储煤炭,以应对冬季的供暖问题。由于基斯里夫本土的煤炭产量不是那么充足,所以,每年都要从帝国进口不少。对于这样的硬性资源,玛丽恩堡方面自然也不敢做过多的修改。 Is the iron ore and copper mine kind of foundation resources trade, compared in the Empire output, Kislev naturally lowered a big truncation. However, in recent years as a result of joining of Dwarf, the equipment of many mines constantly improved, making the output ratio of ore continually promote, has the phenomenon of unfavorable balance of trade slowly. In the written proposal that Diplomat Marienburg puts out, then intends to request the Erengrad port to reduce the import tariff, making the Marienburg ore help sell. Rod sees this, has not actually made too many written comments. Because the national mine transforms to be halfway, in the future, the Kislev ore output ratio will continue to be raised, the time of trade surplus inevitable arrival. Therefore, give away some petty profits, pouring is not may not. 还有就是铁矿石、铜矿这一类的基础资源贸易,相比于帝国的产量,基斯里夫自然低了一大截。但是,近年来由于矮人的加入,许多矿场的设备不断改进,使得矿石的产出效率不断提升,已经慢慢有了贸易逆转的现象。玛丽恩堡外交官拿出的这份倡议书里,便有意要求厄伦格拉德港降低进口关税,让玛丽恩堡的矿石更有利于出售。罗德看到这点,却没有做太多的批示。因为全国矿场改造才进行到一半,将来,基斯里夫的矿石产出效率将继续提升,贸易顺差的时代将不可避免的到来。所以,让出一些蝇头小利,倒也不是不可。 In the written proposal the Marienburg aspect as for the result — — textile class and food processing class trade the free trade of wants with emphasis, Rod leaves no ground complete overruled. Looks very reasonable, however, Rod fully realized evil consequence that this liberalization of trade brings. Area Empire Reikland, Marienburg, the industry has improved, the commodity that they make has the advantage beyond comparison in the performance-to-price ratio. Once the Kislev entrance opens, the massive Marienburg cheap goods will flood into Kislev, creates to be in flood. 至于倡议书里玛丽恩堡方面重点想要的结果——纺织类和食品加工类贸易的自由通商,罗德则不留余地的完全否决掉了。看上去很合理,然而,罗德深知这项贸易自由化带来的恶果。帝国瑞克领一带,还有玛丽恩堡,工业都已经完善,他们生产出来的商品在性价比上拥有无以伦比的优势。一旦基斯里夫国门打开,大量玛丽恩堡的廉价商品将涌入基斯里夫境内,造成泛滥。 The consequence is the industry that the home only started by the complete steamroll, commodity competition that the factory produces exterior, the final result is the factory has not gained, thus goes out of business. Large numbers of workers are unemployed, create instability of social order. But in the market is in flood as before the commodity of foreign country. Makes the end product the trade deficit to with the foundation resources trade. This is Rod cannot permit. 后果是国内刚刚起步的工业被完全碾压,工厂生产出来的商品竞争不过外部,最终的结果就是工厂没有盈利,从而倒闭。大量工人失业,造成社会秩序的不稳定。而市场上依旧泛滥着外国的商品。生产成品的贸易逆差必须用基础资源去换。这是罗德所不能允许的。 Other aspects can yield profit, seek the development, but these aspects, Rod catches stubbornly. Can see on the diplomat face the brow of that tight wrinkle, everyone is circulating for perusal this revised written proposal. The alternative plan takes the desktop quietly. 其他方面可以让利,谋求发展,而这些方面,罗德则死死卡住。可以看到外交官脸上那紧皱的眉头,每个人都传阅着这份被修改后的倡议书。备选方案已经被悄然拿上桌面。
