Mersis heart timid looked at Davos one, said truthfully: „I...... I assigned from us to the grain ration and commodity of Tua Alliance citizen in every day also gave them one......” 梅尔西斯心怯的看了戴弗斯一眼,还是如实说道:“我……我从咱们每天分配给图阿联盟公民的口粮和物资中也给了他们一份……” He also explained busily: „These in the account, can check.” 他忙又解释道:“不过这些都记在账上,可以查。” Davos look tranquil saying: „These grain and do commodities calculate money?” 戴弗斯神色平静的说道:“这些粮食和物资算钱吗？” „Naturally calculates......” “当然算……” Davos smiled: „You looked that you have realized the difficulty of most preliminary public officials, before our bills have not appeared, first sent the pay to them.” 戴弗斯笑了:“你看你已经意识到了最低级公职人员的困难,在我们的法案未出台之前,就抢先给他们发薪酬了。” The senior statesmen roar with laughter. 元老们哄堂大笑。 Mersis is at a loss for words. 梅尔西斯语塞。 Saying that Davos strikes while the iron is hot: „Your these book keepers followed our liberate slaves in Persia in the past. Now «Tenant Law» must promulgate immediately, prepares the citizen to arrive at Burkes there massively, applies to farm as a tenant the land, but what your book keeper actually also can only silently is city-state is making the contribution. A year later, when other preparation citizen not lacks for food and clothing, is quite abundant, but they also can only get by your bestowment, how at this time do they think? How do their families think? They will also think that takes the post of the public service is a glory?” 戴弗斯趁热打铁的说道:“你的这些记账员都是当年在波斯就跟随我们的解放奴隶吧。现在《租地法》马上就要颁布,大量的预备公民会到布尔科斯那里,申请租种土地,而你的记账员却还只能默默的为城邦做着贡献。一年之后,当别的预备公民都有吃有穿,比较富足,而他们还只能靠你的施舍度日,这时候他们会怎么想？他们的家眷会怎么想？他们还会觉得担任公职是一种荣耀吗？” „Later we can use...... the official citizen.” Mersis said low voice. “以后我们可以用……正式公民嘛。”梅尔西斯小声说道。 „Is the alliance most preliminary public officials with the citizen?! You meant, the citizen family's land has the slave to look in any case, work that he can feel relieved, is right?” “用公民担任联盟最低级公职人员？！你的意思是说,反正公民家里的土地有奴隶照料,他可以放心的工作,对不对？” Mersis nods. 梅尔西斯点头。 „In our alliance is the family of ordinary citizen generally only then a slave, does the citizen also need to lead the slave to work?” Davos asked Cornelius. “我们联盟中普通公民的家庭一般是不是只有一个奴隶,公民也需要带领奴隶干活？”戴弗斯问科尔内鲁斯。 „Is this, Sir archon . Some families do not even have the slave.” Cornelius replied. “是这样,执政官大人。有的家庭甚至没有奴隶。”科尔内鲁斯回答。 „Citizen went is the alliance work, family's labor force reduced half, will the household income also reduce?! Continuously for a long time hence, the public service became the burden to him! But our alliance can revolve normally, must have exactly looks like Raphias copyist and Cornelius fire fighter and sentry under, the prison guard and juror, Marigi bombardier-navigator and market manager hand/subordinate...... the effort work of these lowest level public officials! We cannot only make run, does not make graze. We not only need make them feel that serves for city-state is a glory, is a benefits, making them bring home money every day, making the family member feel joyful, this will urge and more outstanding citizen to be glad is the city-state offer! Naturally, everyone present did not have the pay, cannot make money corrode honored of our council senior statesman!” The Davos words aroused everyone's resonance. “公民去为联盟工作,家里的劳力就减少了一半,家庭收入是不是也会减少？！长此以往,公职对他而言岂不是成了负担！而我们的联盟能正常运转,恰恰少不了像拉斐亚斯手下的抄写员、科尔内鲁斯手下的消防员、哨兵,狱卒、陪审员,马里吉手下的领航员、市场管理员……这些最底层公职人员的努力工作！我们不能只让马跑,不让马吃草。我们不但要让他们感到为城邦服务是一种荣耀,也是一种福利,让他们每天带着钱回家,让家人感到快乐,这样才会促使更多、更优秀的公民乐于为城邦奉献！当然,在座的各位就没有薪酬了,不能让金钱腐蚀了我们元老院元老的尊贵！”戴弗斯的话引起了大家的共鸣。 „Right that said!” “说的对！” „Said was good!” “说的太好了！” The senior statesmen stiff chest, expressed the support. 元老们挺直胸膛,纷纷表示赞同。 Davos is patting the shoulder of somewhat depressed Mersis, elucidated he saying: „Moreover sends the pay also to help you receive more taxes to the public officials.” 戴弗斯拍着有些沮丧的梅尔西斯的肩膀,开解他说:“而且给公职人员发薪酬也有助于你收到更多的税。” „Really?!” Mersis raised the head suddenly. “真的？！”梅尔西斯猛然抬起头。 Davos observes the situation the surroundings, sees a Kunogelata also face surprise, therefore the clear and resonant voice said: „In citizen hand has money, he will have the desire to purchase the thing, a copper clepsydra and an clay jar, one can of olive oil, one set of furniture...... are even more luxurious, wine, spice......, when the citizens have money to go shopping, the market will prosper, the business tax that you collect will be more......” 戴弗斯环视周围,见库诺戈拉塔也一脸诧异,于是朗声说道:“公民手里有了钱,他就会有欲望去购买东西,一个铜壶、一个陶罐、一罐橄榄油,一套桌椅……甚至再奢侈一些,葡萄酒,香料……当公民们都有钱去买东西,市场就会繁荣,你收的商税就会更多……” Mersis came the spirit: „But most money made the foreigner make.” 梅尔西斯来了精神:“但是大部分的钱让外邦人挣走了。” „At present is this. However quick, our commodities will produce, the situation of this aspect makes Marigi make the introduction.” “目前是这样。但是很快,我们的商品就会生产出来了,这方面的情况让马里吉来做介绍。” Marigi stands, exciting saying: „Until yesterday, the Thurii market has an pottery workshop, an olive oil workshop, a bricks and stones workshop, a mill, two Mujiangpu, a paint shop and a stone material carving shop to begin one after another, meanwhile the big wine workshop is also planning, will soon begin.” 马里吉站起来,兴奋的说道:“到昨天为止,图里伊市场已经有一家陶器作坊、一家橄榄油作坊、一家砖石作坊、一家磨坊、两家木匠铺、一家油漆铺、一家石料雕刻铺相继开工,同时还有一家大型的葡萄酒作坊也在策划中,即将开工。” „That is Rifes's wine workshop, the wine for dozens years that his family manufactures have been very famous in entire Magna Graecia!” Kunogelata points at a senior statesman, the digression was saying. “那是奥里菲斯的葡萄酒作坊,他的家族制作的葡萄酒几十年来一直在整个大希腊都很有名！”库诺戈拉塔指着一位元老,插话道。 „This many thanks the Cheiristoya bank gives me to loan, I and family member can reconstruct the vineyard and wine workshop!” Rifes nods to express gratitude to Davos, the people of alliance know that who now this behind bank actual owners who are the reconstruction of Thurii makes very big contribution is. “这得多谢克莉斯托娅银行给我贷款,我和家人才能重建葡萄园和葡萄酒作坊！”奥里菲斯向戴弗斯点头表示感谢,联盟的民众现在都知道这家为图里伊的重建做出很大贡献的银行背后的真正主人是谁。 „We should levy tall Shui to the same type outside nation commodity, to protect own business that our alliance just started.” Kunogelata suggested. “我们应该对相同类型的外邦商品征收高税,以保护我们联盟刚刚兴起的自己的商业。”库诺戈拉塔建议道。 „You said is very right!” The Davos nod said: „Now, our commercial officer Marigi is preparing to implement some new measures in the Thurii market, the foreigner makes our wealth crazily time had soon passed, we must support our alliance people our industry of vigorously. If in the Thurii market is the same commodity, levies the low tax to our merchants, the foreign nation merchants levy tall Shui ; Our urgently needed the commodity that but are unable to make temporarily uses the low tax, urges actively their transports/fortunes these commodities to Thurii sells ; Regarding very important commodity, we can produce, but is unable to compete with outside nation temporarily, the alliance must give the subsidy ; Regarding external luxury goods, in view of the fact that the money in present citizen pocket is limited, we must levy the high taxes temporarily, quite makes the citizens who changed/easy Shou seduces use money on the blade. Guides them to purchase our commodities through such way. Only by doing so, our businesses can prosper!” “你说的很对！”戴弗斯点头说道:“现在,我们的商务官马里吉正准备在图里伊市场实施一些新的措施,外邦人狂挣我们钱财的时候已经快要过去了,我们要大力扶持我们联盟民众自己的产业。如果在图里伊市场上是相同的商品,对我们的商人征收低税,对外邦商人征收高税;我们急需的而自己暂时无法生产的商品则还是用低税,促使他们积极的将这些物资运到图里伊售卖;对于非常重要的商品,我们能生产,但暂时无法与外邦竞争,联盟要给予补贴;对于外来奢侈品,鉴于现在公民口袋里的钱有限,我们暂时要征收重税,好让易受诱惑的公民们把钱都用在刀刃上。通过这样的方式引导他们去购买我们自己的商品。只有这样,我们自己的商业才能繁荣！” The people nod to agree. 众人点头表示认同。 Davos said again loudly: „Sir, we must understand that the silver coin places the state treasury not to use, it is not the money, but is only one pile of metals, only when it flows, will have the huge profit, can let our civil life well, making our business more prosperous, simultaneously makes our state treasuries be full!” 戴弗斯再次大声说道:“诸位大人,我们要明白银币放在国库不用,它就不是钱,而只是一堆金属,只有当它流动起来,才会产生巨大的利润,才能让我们的公民生活得更好,让我们的商贸更繁荣,同时更让我们的国库更加充盈！” „Agreement! Agreement!......” Headed by Kunogelata and Cornelius senior statesmen agreed that some are applauding unexpectedly. “同意！同意！……”以库诺戈拉塔、科尔内鲁斯为首的元老们纷纷表示认同,有的竟鼓起掌来。 ........................... ……………………… Tios, a Corinth merchant, wanders about in the noisy crowded Thurii market, he noticed that exciting Thurii person excited mutually of talked „what Tua Alliance to promulgate «Public service Law», any Tua Alliance citizens can apply to take the post of the public service, first since the floor started, was outstanding, but can also leave holds the post of the quality, the alliance even also prepared to these public officials sends pay one day one to four Obold......” 提奥斯,一位科林斯商人,徜徉在嘈杂拥挤的图里伊市场,他看到兴奋的图里伊人激动的相互交谈着“什么图阿联盟颁布了《公职法》,任何图阿联盟公民都可以申请出任公职,先从底层做起,表现出色,还可以出担任高职,联盟甚至还准备给这些公职人员发薪酬一天一至四个奥波尔……” Is Zeus on, Tua Alliance this wants to study Athens? Do they have Athens to be wealthy?! Tios has no interest in listen attentively to Tua Alliance citizen's talk again, although he does not think that Tua Alliance can achieve Athens such, but he felt the envy in the heart. 宙斯在上,图阿联盟这是想学习雅典吗？他们有雅典富裕吗？！提奥斯无心再倾听图阿联盟公民的谈话,尽管他不认为图阿联盟能做到雅典那样,但在内心深处他感到了嫉妒。 As the Corinth ordinary citizen, although Tios is very wealthy, but he also can only hold the post in city-state the underlying bed government official, because city-state powwow member, only then the aristocrat can hold the post of( Corinth is aristocrat system), therefore he chose joined in the market. This time comes Thurii , because Corinth and Sparta relate intensely, has the danger of eruption war anytime, therefore needs to store up grain, to prepare mishap. 作为科林斯的普通公民,尽管提奥斯很富裕,但他也只能担任城邦中低层官吏,因为城邦议事会成员只有贵族才能担任(科林斯是贵族体制),所以他选择了投身商海。这次来图里伊,是因为科林斯与斯巴达关系紧张,随时有爆发战争的危险,因此需要储备粮食,以备不测。 200 years ago, the Corinth trade is developed, weapon, pottery and other commodities sold Mediterranean coastal each city-state, the richest in the world. Afterward Athens tried to catch up, started the competition in each aspect and Corinth of commercial, especially gave the Corinth serious attack in making Tao Ye who Corinth was proud, henceforth was unable to recover. Now the Corinth business has been not as before, but was still the big nation in Peloponnese peninsula, was still wealthy. It is not rich in grain city-state as one, Corinth always purchases the grain from outside nation, their grain import from you star sea generally, but the fleet of Sparta person runs amuck now Aegean Sea, to prevent the accident/surprise, the Tios choice comes west Mediterranean. 在两百年前,科林斯贸易发达,武器、陶器等商品行销地中海沿岸各个城邦,富甲天下。后来雅典迎头赶上,在商业的各个方面与科林斯展开竞争,尤其在科林斯引以为傲的制陶业给予了科林斯沉重的打击,从此一蹶不振。现在科林斯的商业已大不如前,但仍旧是伯罗奔尼撒半岛上的大邦,依旧富裕。作为一个并不盛产粮食的城邦,科林斯一向是从外邦购买粮食,他们的粮食一般从攸克星海进口,但现在斯巴达人的船队横行爱琴海,为防止意外,提奥斯选择来西地中海。 The Sicily island is his most important choice, what a pity recently rose for various Sicily Greece city-state grain prices that the fertile ofwheat was famous unexpectedly, it is said was Syracuse wantonly is purchasing the grain, it seems like Sicily will have what important matter to happen. When Tios as sensitive as this point, he hesitates must also go to Carthage. At this moment, he heard that Thurii is reconstructing, urgently needed a lot of commodities . Moreover the tariff is also very low. 西西里岛是他的首要选择,可惜最近以盛产小麦著称的西西里各希腊城邦居然粮价上涨,据说是锡拉库扎正在大肆购买粮食,看来西西里又会有什么大事要发生了。当提奥斯敏感到这一点时,他就犹豫着还要不要去迦太基。恰好就在这时,他听说图里伊正在重建,急需大量的物资,而且关税也很低。 Tios is intent moves greatly, is busy at asking the insider Thurii grain situation, because he knows when the Sybaris plain by being rich in the wine, wheat, domestic animal and beeswax is well-known, obtains „food harvest” the reply in the Thurii period, he decides to change course Thurii( to summer end, Amendolara wheat already harvest, but the Thurii wheat was harvested by Crotonians ahead of time forcefully, finally entire tribe in the Davos hand, therefore Tua Alliance grain is abundant, besides satisfying the grain ration of people, enough surplus grain sell). 提奥斯大为意动,忙问知情人图里伊的粮食情况,因为他知道绪巴里平原在图里伊时期就以盛产葡萄酒、小麦、牲畜和蜂蜡闻名,得到“粮食丰收”的回答时,他就决定改道去图里伊(到了夏末,阿门多拉腊的小麦已经丰收,而图里伊的小麦则被克罗托内人提前强行收割,最后全部落在戴弗斯手中,因此图阿联盟粮食充裕,除了满足民众的口粮,还有足够的余粮出售)。 When his merchant ship crushed into the harbor with great difficulty, the person went to the wharf, found so-called in hearsay „market management place”, saw that first of manager complained: „Your harbors need to expand, was too small! Delays the time very much!” 等他的商船好不容易挤进了港口,人上了码头,找到传闻中的所谓“市场管理处”,见到管理员的第一句就是抱怨:“你们的港口需要扩建了,太小了！很耽搁时间！” Manager's polite reply: „Yes, you said is very right, we are also expanding the harbor, I to you apologize to the difficulty that you cause for this temporary harbor! What need you have I to help?” 管理员礼貌的回答:“是的,你说的很对,我们也正在扩建港口,我为这个临时的港口给你造成的困难向你道歉！请问你有什么需要我帮忙的吗？” Manager's apology made the Tios resentment dispel most probably, he wants first to go to the market to stroll, but the attitude of manager won his favorable impression, therefore he said oneself request directly. 管理员的道歉让提奥斯的怨气消解了大半,他本来想先去市场逛逛,但管理员的态度赢得了他的好感,于是他直接说出自己的要求。 The manager examined the same day transaction diary immediately, then gave him to introduce a seller. In fact, this seller Nick Brosses is the subordinate who agricultural affairs officer Burkes is responsible for the Amendolara agricultural product sale. 管理员立即查看当天的交易日志,然后给他介绍了一位卖主。实际上,这位卖主尼科布洛斯是农务官布尔科斯负责阿门多拉腊农产品销售的属下。 In looking at sample, after consultation definite price, Tios decides to purchase five ship wheat. 在看过样品,经过磋商确定价格后,提奥斯决定购买五船小麦。 However, Nick Department Ross told him: The quantities of five ship wheat are many, in the market so many stocks, do not need to assemble to Amendolara, can deliver by tomorrow. 但是,尼科部洛斯告诉他:五船小麦的数量不少,市场内并没有这么多的存量,需要到阿门多拉腊去调集,到明天才能交货。 Tios showed the understanding. 提奥斯表示了理解。 Out of the apology, Nick Brosses told him: Now the harbor area hotel is full, must stay best go to Amendolara, there has the special business way hotel center, the lodging is comfortable, is low-cost, and peaceful. 出于歉意,尼科布洛斯告诉他:现在港口区旅馆爆满,要住宿最好到阿门多拉腊去,那里有专门的商途旅馆区,住宿舒适,价格便宜,而且安静。
