Onehectareland is not quite big, Xu Yispent less than onehourthento inspect.
一公顷土地并不太大,许亦花费了不到一个小时便考察完毕。Returns toaround the Steward Bruneisurface, Xu Yitook out a documentto hand overfrom the package.
回到文莱管家面前后,许亦从包里取出一份文件递了过去。„Steward Brunei, thisiswerents the useplanning document of thislands'firstyear, youcantaketo makeLord Viscountglance, ifLord Viscounthaswhatunsatisfiedplace, canraisetous, wecanmake the appropriate amendmentaccording to the proposition of Lord Viscount.”
“文莱管家,这是我们租用这片土地第一年的使用规划书,您可以拿回去让子爵大人过目,如果子爵大人有什么不满意的地方,可以向我们提出来,我们可以根据子爵大人的提议做适当修改。”In the Xu Yisurfaceisveryrespectful.许亦表面上还是十分恭敬的。Heis clear, the Sainz Continentcurrentform of societyishalfserfsemifeudal society, on the situationwithEarthis entirely different, hewantsto handle the successfulcertainthingsinthismainland, somecustomsmustobserve.
他非常清楚,赛恩斯大陆目前的社会形态还是半农奴半封建社会,和地球上的情况大不相同,他想要在这片大陆上做成功某些事情,有些规矩还是要遵守的。Really, saw that the Xu Yiattitudeis respectful, the Steward Bruneicomplexionslightlywas also moderate, received the Xu Yiplanning document, nods: „Good, Iwill taketo makeLord Viscountglance. Actuallyyoudo not useextremelyanxiously, the Lord Viscountmanneris very generous, so long asyoudo not makeanythingto lethe not happymatter, in the Lord Viscountordinary circumstanceswill not interfere withyouto do.”
果然,看到许亦的态度恭敬,文莱管家的脸色也略微缓和了一些,接过许亦的规划书,点了点头:“好,我会拿回去让子爵大人过目的。其实你也不用太过紧张,子爵大人为人很是宽厚,只要你们不作出什么让他不高兴的事情,子爵大人一般情况下是不会干涉你们干什么的。”„Thatwantedmany thanksSteward Bruneiyourfine talk.”
“那就要多谢文莱管家您的美言了。”
The talkatmosphere gets better, matternaturallyalso conducts is much smoother, Steward Bruneisweptseveralplanning documentsat will, thenputs outoneto rent the land leaseto makeXu Yisign.
谈话气氛变得好起来,事情进行得自然也就顺利得多,文莱管家只是随意地扫了几眼规划书,便拿出一份租用土地契约让许亦签署。AfterXu Yisignsownname, Steward Bruneishowed a smiling facefinally, reaches outXu Yi: „Verygood, Mr.Xu Yi, thislandsareyouinthis yearnow, hopes that youcantreasureLord Viscountwelltoyouropportunity.”
当许亦签下自己的名字后,文莱管家终于露出了一丝笑容,向许亦伸出了手:“很好,许亦先生,现在这片土地在这一年内已经属于你了,希望你能够好好珍惜子爵大人给你的这个机会。”„Certainly.”
“一定。”Threepeoplealsoexchanged greetingsseveral, Xu Yijust about toandHeinzesay goodbyetogether, a sad and shrillpitiful yellsoundtransmitsfrom the distant placesuddenly.
三人又寒暄了几句,许亦刚要和海因策一起告辞,一声凄厉的惨叫声忽然从远处传来。Threepeoplestare, simultaneous/uniformQiwangto the northwestdirection that the pitiful yellsoundtransmits.
三人都是一愣,齐齐望向惨叫声传来的西北方向。Alsois a pitiful yell, simultaneouslywith the windtogetherfloatsalsohasloudweeping and wailingand a resoundingleather whiptwitchsound.
又是一声惨叫,同时随风一起飘来的还有大声的哭喊和一下响亮的皮鞭抽动声。„Has a look!”Xu Yiis lessto ponder,lifted the footthento rushto the direction that the soundconveyed.
“去看看!”许亦不及细想,抬脚便向声音传来的方向奔了过去。Heinzehesitant, lookstonearbySteward Brunei: „Should Steward Brunei, hearing the soundin the Lord Viscountterritory?”海因策犹豫了一下,看向一旁的文莱管家:“文莱管家,听声音应该还是在子爵大人的领地上吧?”Steward Bruneinarrows a smalleyeto look atdirectiona while that the soundconveys, waves: „We have a look.”文莱管家眯起一双小眼睛看着声音传来的方向一会儿,一挥手:“我们也去看看。”Fromis nearer, the soundis then clearer, in the airthatone after nextleather whipsoundsounds makes one be afraid, along withsad and shrillweeping and wailingpitiful yellsound, isletsin the personheartmournful.
距离越近,声音便越清晰,空气中那一下下皮鞭声听起来让人不寒而栗,伴随着凄厉的哭喊惨叫声,更是让人心中不禁凄然。Xu Yiis much younger than Steward BruneiandHeinze, advancesin addition, before longhas then gone to the place that the soundspread, catches the eyeto look, immediatelyyazientirelycracks.许亦比文莱管家和海因策年轻得多,加上先行出发,不一会儿便已经来到了声音传出的地方,抬眼望去,顿时睚眦俱裂。In a stretch of open land, threesturdymenis thin and weakone, looked that the build14-15childencirclesin the middle, a leather whip, keepspulling outeveryonthatchild.
就在一片荒地上,三个粗壮的汉子正将一个身材瘦弱,看体型十四、五孩子围在中间,人手一柄皮鞭,不停地抽在那个孩子身上。Thatchildhad been taken the innumerablesay/waybloodstainsby the leather whipon the bodyat this time, evensomeplacesturned the meat, the appearancelooksincomparablypitiful.
那个孩子此时已经被皮鞭在身上抽出了无数道血痕,甚至有的地方连肉都翻了出来,模样看起来无比凄惨。Butshe can also send out the pitiful yellat first, nowactuallycould not have sent the cry, the strength of eventumblingdoes not have, can only keeptwitchingwith the twitch of leather whip.
而她起初还能发出惨叫,现在却已经连叫声都发不出来,甚至连翻滚的力气都没有,只能随着皮鞭的抽动而不停抽搐着。„Stop!”Xu Yiangrily roars, wantsnot to clash. „Do youwantto killhim?”
“住手!”许亦怒吼一声,想也没想就冲了出去。“你们想打死他吗?”Threerobust menhave not expectedsomepeopleto clashfromsideobviouslysuddenly, sized upXu Yionestartled, probablyis the Magicrobe that becauseonXu Yiwearsmadethemhave the scruples, cannot help butstopped the hand.
三名壮汉显然没料到忽然有人从旁边冲了出来,愕然打量了许亦一眼,大概是因为许亦身上穿着的魔法袍让他们产生了顾忌,不由自主地停下了手。
When butXu Yiwants the squattinglower part of the bodyto gothatchildholds, by a robust mandirectlyis actually blocked.
可是当许亦想要蹲下身去把那个孩子扶起来时,却被一名壮汉直接拦住。„Hey, do youdo? Weinlessonhouse slave, who no matteryouare, does not have the qualificationsto meddle!” The robust menshouted.
“喂,你干什么?我们在教训家奴,不管你是什么人,都没有资格插手!”壮汉喝道。„House slave?”Xu Yilooked atgroundthatchildoneeyesstartled, thoughthere, butViscount Leslieterritory, thenthischild......
“家奴?”许亦愕然看了地上那个孩子一眼,心想这里可是莱斯利子爵的领地,那么这个孩子……„Is he slave of Viscount Leslie?”
“他是莱斯利子爵家的奴隶?”
The robust menshot a look atXu Yioneaccidentally/surprisingly: „You, sinceknowsLord Viscount, thatdo not mind others' business. Toldyou, thislittle bastardlost the Lord Viscountfarm cattleunexpectedly, killinghimwascheap!”
壮汉意外的瞥了许亦一眼:“你既然知道子爵大人,那就更不要多管闲事了。告诉你,这个小杂种居然弄丢了子爵大人的耕牛,打死他都算是便宜了!”„Farm cattle?”Xu Yibrowonetight, gets angry: „Loses a cow, wantshislife?”
“耕牛?”许亦眉头一紧,怒道:“弄丢一头牛而已,难道就要他的命吗?”„Youdo not understand!” The robust menscoff saying: „Crossed less than twomonths to arrive at the day of fall harvestagain, thislittle bastardactuallylost a head the farm cattleatthis time, thatmayaffecton the fall harvestin a big way! How muchmoneyalso did youknowfarm cattle? 40gold coins! Even ifthislittle bastardtook awayto sellsoldless thanhalfgold coin! Yousaid that wascheaphe?”
“你懂个屁!”壮汉嗤道:“再过不到两个月就要到秋收的日子了,这个小杂种却在这个时候把耕牛弄丢了一头,那可对秋收影响大了!再说你知道一头耕牛多少钱吗?四十枚金币!这个小杂种就算拿去卖了都卖不到半枚金币!你说算不算便宜他了?”„Can't thatkill? Even ifyoukilledhim, the farm cattledo not come back.”
“那也不能把人打死吧?就算你们打死了他,耕牛也回不来啊。”„Nonsense! Weknow certainly. Thisis the penalty! Punishesyouto understand? If not punishthisfellow, otherfellowalsolike, thatLord Viscountfieldalsodid plant?”
“废话!我们当然知道。这是惩罚!惩罚你懂吗?要是不惩罚一下这个家伙,别的家伙也都像这样,那子爵大人的田还种不种了?”Xu Yifrowns, knowsoneselfandtheyspoke the truthto saydoes not pass, moreoverpowersafeguard that onSainz Continentmayhave noregarding the slave, hereallydid not have the qualificationsto prevent the opposite partyto dothesematters.许亦皱起眉头,知道自己和他们讲道理是讲不通的,而且赛恩斯大陆上对于奴隶可没有任何的权力保障,他还真的没有资格阻止对方做这些事。Thoughthere, Xu Yihas turned head, saw that behindnot far awayhad presentedSteward Brunei and Heinzesound, thissets the god.
想了这里,许亦回过头,看到身后不远处已经出现了文莱管家和海因策的声音,这才定下神。Thatthreerobust menlookwith the Xu Yivision, naturallyalsosawSteward Brunei.
那三名壮汉随着许亦的目光望去,自然也看到了文莱管家。
The manorguardasViscount Leslie, theyrecognize certainlythisbySteward Brunei of Viscount Leslietrust, one, welcomedhastily.
身为莱斯利子爵的庄园护卫,他们当然认得这位备受莱斯利子爵信任的文莱管家,一愣之下,连忙迎了过去。Before longSteward BruneiandHeinzealsowalked, butswept a heresituation, thenalreadyyeswhat's the matter.
不一会儿文莱管家和海因策也走了过来,只是扫了一眼这里的情形,便已经明白是怎么回事。„Mr.Xu Yi, thisisourfamily'sprivate affairs, but alsopleasedo not meddle.” The Steward Bruneitoneis very indifferent, butin the tonedoes not havesimple that allowsXu Yito reject.
“许亦先生,这是我们家族的私事,还请你不要插手。”文莱管家口气十分淡然,但语气中却有着不容许亦拒绝的干脆。Xu Yideeplyfrowns, heknows, ifoncustomaccording toSainz Continent, heindeedisnothingreason, does not have the qualificationsto meddle.许亦深深皱起眉头,他知道如果按照赛恩斯大陆上的规矩,他的确是没有任何理由,也没有资格插手其中。Butmakeshimlookhelplesslysuch a childwas killed, thatcould not acceptin any event.
可是让他眼睁睁看着这样一个孩子被打死,那也是无论如何都接受不了的。Xu Yisought helplooked atHeinzeone, actuallydiscovered that Heinzeshook the headtohimslightly, obviouslydid not approve ofhimto meddle.许亦求助地看了海因策一眼,却发现海因策对他微微摇头,显然也不赞同他插手。Saw that the leather whip in thatthreerobust manhandsmustpull out, in the Xu Yiheart the bigfeelingis anxious, suddenly the miraculous glowflashes, shoutsloudly: „Waits for! Steward Brunei, can Ibuyhim?”
眼看那三名壮汉手中的皮鞭就要重新抽了下去,许亦心中大感焦急,忽然灵光一闪,大声喊道:“等一下!文莱管家,我能把他买下来吗?”„Buys?”Steward Bruneistares, immediatelydeeplyfrowns. „Xu Yi, Ihave toldyou, thisisourfamily'sprivate affairs, do youreallywantto meddle?”
“买?”文莱管家一愣,随即深深皱起眉头。“许亦,我已经告诉过你了,这是我们家族的私事,你真的想插手吗?”„, Ido not havethismeaning.”Xu Yibeckons with the handagain and again. „Is onlyIsuddenlythinks,I aloneliveam not very convenient, has wantedto buy a slaveto take care of itself, butactuallynotappropriate. NowsincethisslaveisLord Viscount, Iseize the chanceto ask for a favor, askingLord Viscountto sell tomehim, what kind of? Ibelieve that bytrust of Lord ViscountyourSteward Brunei, the matter of thisonlyslave, youcantake responsibility?”
“不不不,我没这个意思。”许亦连连摆手。“只是我突然想起来,我一个人住很不方便,早就想买一个奴隶服侍自己,但却一直没有合适的。现在这个奴隶既然是子爵大人的,我就趁机讨个人情,请子爵大人把他卖给我,怎么样?我相信以子爵大人对文莱管家您的信任,这区区一个奴隶的事情,您能够做主的吧?”
The Steward Bruneicomplexionsinks, just about torejects, Xu Yiactuallyto/clashessuddenly, holds in the armshisshoulder.文莱管家脸色一沉,刚要拒绝,许亦却突然冲过来,一把搂住他的肩膀。ThissuddenmovementmakesSteward Brunei unable to bear the frownraise, justwantsto get angry, actuallyhearsXu Yito collectbyhisearsaidin a low voice: „10%stocks! StewardSir, so long asyoucomplyto sell tomethisslavetoday, the 10%stocks of Magic Powered FanfactoryIwill soon establishgiveLord Viscount, how do youlook?”
这个突如其来的动作让文莱管家忍不住双眉一扬,正想发怒,却听到许亦凑在他耳旁低声道:“10%股份!管家大人,只要您今天答应把这个奴隶卖给我,我就将即将建立的魔力风扇工厂的10%股份让给子爵大人,您看如何?”Steward BruneilooksstartledtoXu Yi, discovers the expression on Xu Yifaceto be very earnest, does not crack a jokeprobably, strangesay/way: „Mr.Xu Yi, youreallythinks, forthisonlyslavedoes give away10%stocksto come? How manyalthoughIdo not know the 10%stocks of your factoryto be ablevalue, butMagic Powered FansellssuchwellinBunta City, won't these10%stocksbe short?”文莱管家愕然看向许亦,发现许亦脸上的表情十分认真,一点儿也不像是开玩笑,不由奇道:“许亦先生,你真的想为了这区区一个奴隶就让出10%股份来吗?虽然我不知道你这家工厂的10%股份能够价值多少,但魔力风扇在邦塔城内卖得这么好,想必这10%股份也不会少吧?”Xu Yismiles: „YouwhenIwillfullywas for a while good.”许亦轻轻一笑:“您就当我一时任性好了。”Steward Bruneihas the profound meaningto look atXu Yigreatly: „Youdetermined that cando that?”文莱管家大有深意地看着许亦:“你确定要这么做?”Xu Yidefinitelynods: „Sure.”许亦肯定地点点头:“肯定。”Steward Bruneinods, worked loose the arm of Xu Yi, beckons with the handtothatthreerobust men: „Puthim.”文莱管家点点头,挣脱了许亦的胳膊,向那三名壮汉摆了摆手:“放了他。”Threerobust menlook at each otherone, the little darlingmakes way.
三名壮汉对视一眼,乖乖让开。Slaveeyes that Steward Bruneisweeps the floor, lookagaintoXu Yi: „Mr.Xu Yi, heisyounow.”文莱管家扫了地上的奴隶一眼,再看向许亦:“许亦先生,现在他已经属于你了。”Xu Yilaughs, the handputs in the pocket: „Many thanks. Thenthisslavehow muchmoney?”许亦哈哈一笑,手伸进口袋:“多谢多谢。那么请问这名奴隶多少钱呢?”
The Steward Bruneicorners of the mouthplunder a strangesmiling face, shakes the head saying: „Mr.Xu Yiyouare so natural, IrepresentLord Viscountnaturally unable toostingy, thisslavegives toyou, was regarded as the gift on first meeting that wecooperatedto be good.”文莱管家嘴角掠起一丝奇怪的笑容,摇摇头道:“许亦先生你这么大方,我代表子爵大人当然也不能太小气,这名奴隶送给你,就当做是我们合作的见面礼好了。”„Sinceisthis, Iapologized toLord Viscounthere.”
“既然是这样,那我就在这里谢过子爵大人了。”
After Steward Bruneiandthreerobust menleave, Xu YithenandHeinzehugged the carriagegroundthatslavetogether.文莱管家和三名壮汉离开后,许亦便和海因策一起将地上那名奴隶抱上了马车。On the roadheardXu Yito say the price to savethisslavespending, Heinzenearlyjumpedin the compartment.
路上听到许亦说出了为了救这个奴隶所花费的代价,海因策差点儿在车厢里跳了起来。„Youwere insane!”Heinzeis pointing atXu Yi, unexpectedlyissomewhatbreathless. „Xu Yi, according toourestimates, thisMagic Powered Fanfactory, ifallsmooth, oneyear of profitalsohas5000gold coinsat leastabove! Yougive the Viscount Leslie10%stocks, was equivalentgavehimdirectlyat least500gold coins! Youmustknow,werentedhimthathectarelandoneyearalsoto spend100gold coins!”
“你疯了!”海因策指着许亦,竟是有些气急败坏。“许亦,按照我们俩的估算,这家魔力风扇工厂如果一切顺利的话,一年的利润起码也有五千金币以上啊!你让给莱斯利子爵10%股份,就相当于直接给了他最少五百金币啊!你要知道,我们租用他那一公顷土地一年也不过花了一百金币而已!”Xu Yibeckons with the hand, hintsHeinzeto do, said with a smile: „Actuallyevendoes not havethismatter, I still have wantedto find the opportunityto givesomeViscount Lesliestocks, nowhappen toletslogicallytaking advantage ofthismatter, ratheris just right formyintenton the contrary.”许亦摆了摆手,示意海因策做下来,笑道:“其实就算没有这件事情,我也一直想找机会让给莱斯利子爵一些股份的,现在正好借着这件事情顺理成章地让出来,不如说反倒正合我的意。”SawXu Yito saywith ease, Heinzewas slightly calm, was onlysomewhatwas still puzzled.
见许亦说得轻松,海因策稍微冷静了一些,只是仍然有些不解。„Why?”
“为什么?”„Why?”Xu Yihehesmiled, referred to the bigpieceopen land outside glass. „Heinze, yousaw clearly, butthislands the Viscount Leslieprivateterritory, youshouldknow that whatmeaning the privateterritoryis? That isso long asViscount Lesliewants, hecandrive awayusmomentarily, even ifwehave the contract is still useless, becausethisis the damnaristocratprivilege.”
“为什么?”许亦呵呵一笑,指了指车窗外的大片荒地。“海因策,你看清楚了,这片土地可是莱斯利子爵的私人领地,你应该知道私人领地是什么意思吧?就是说只要莱斯利子爵愿意的话,他随时都可以把我们赶走,就算我们有契约也没有用,因为这就是该死的贵族特权。”„Ihave considered, ifwewantto dofor a long timehere, mustearn the sinceritysupport of Viscount Leslie. Howeverwhy do wemakethisnobleLord Viscountsinceritysupportus? The answeronly then, thatties up the samechariothimandwe. Whenhisbenefitsandourbenefitsare common, hemeets the supportsincerelywe, leastwill not dragour. In fact, 10%stocksweretoofew, can the wordsIwantto divide20%stocksto givehim. Butrather is extremely as the matter stands conspicuous, moreoverourrelationsalsojuststarted, thereforedoes not needto worrynowactually.”
“我早就考虑过了,如果我们想要长期在这里干下去,就必须获得莱斯利子爵的真心支持。但是我们凭什么让这位高贵的子爵大人真心支持我们?答案只有一个,那就是把他和我们绑上同一辆战车。只有他的利益和我们的利益共通时,他才会真心的支持我们,最少也不会来扯我们的后腿。实际上,10%股份还是太少了,可以的话我想分两成分股份给他。但这样一来未免太过显眼,而且我们的关系还只是刚刚开始,所以现在倒是不需要太着急。”Heinzelooked atXu Yia while, suddenlyshakes the headto heave a deep sigh„Xu Yi, Imisreadyou.”海因策愣愣地看了许亦一会儿,忽然摇摇头长叹一声“许亦,我看错你了。”„Oh?”
“哦?”„Ithinkyouare only a Magictalent, nowlooks like, youactuallylook like a profiteercompared withme.”
“我本来以为你只是一个魔法天才,现在看来,你其实比我更像一名奸商。”„Ha, many thankspraise.”
“哈,多谢夸奖。”
