Shortly after Assistant Minister leaves, the prince welcomed a good news. 大臣助理离开后不久,王子迎来了一个久违的好消息。 Went to personal guard Sean of Port of Clear Water purchase crops seed to come back. 前往碧水港购买作物种子的亲卫肖恩回来了。 When Roland follows guard who notified to arrive in garden, saw that Sean was wrapping a bag with several other personal guard from mount carries on the back to unload. 罗兰跟随报信的卫兵走到庭园里时,见到肖恩正在和另外几名亲卫把一袋袋包裹从坐骑背上卸下。 Plays from set off had almost one month today, he seemed the skin tanned much, the body also changed thin. 从出发那天起到今天差不多已有一个月时间,他看上去皮肤晒黑了不少,身体也变瘦了些。 Sees the prince to appear, Sean stands to raise hand to salute immediately. The Roland half step went forward, has patted his shoulder, „did well. What seeds brought to come back?” 看到王子出现,肖恩立刻站直举手行礼。罗兰快步上前,拍了拍他的肩膀,“干得不错。都带了些什么种子回来了？” The Sean squatting down body, unties the ground the package, „Pearl meter, potato and sugar stick...... These plants that you described, I bought in Port of Clear Water. Truly they mostly are from the country of fjord, but Port of Clear Water had many farmland to plant these crops.” 肖恩蹲下身子,解开地上的包裹,“珍珠米、地蛋、糖棒……您描述的那些植物,我都在碧水港买到了。确实它们大多产自峡湾之国,不过碧水港已经有不少农田在种植这些作物了。” „Has to the merchant inquires the law of planter?” “有没有向商人询问种植之法？” „Asked, but they could not say the concrete method, added that these plants left the southern region words, was very difficult the type to live in other places.” Sean grasps a bright yellow pellet from the package, the booth in front of Roland, „your highness, this is the Pearl meter. The merchants said that if I buy together with the Pearl stick, can be considered as cheaply. However the Pearl stick is extremely heavy, does not facilitate to carry, I have only bought complete coming back, other are to peel good the seeds.” “问了,但他们也说不出具体的方法,还说这些植物离开南境的话,在其他地方很难种活。”肖恩从包裹里抓出一把黄橙橙的颗粒,摊在罗兰面前,“殿下,这个就是珍珠米。商人说如果我连同珍珠棒一起买下来,可以算得更便宜点。不过珍珠棒太过沉重,不方便携带,我只买了一根完整的回来,其余都是剥好的种子。” Without a doubt, the Pearl meter is the corn that he is familiar with. He pinches a corn kernel excitedly, places under the sunlight to size up. The fruit is somewhat withered, it seems like has deposited a winter supply. The output of corn inborn is higher than much compared with the wheat, moreover requests lowly to the soil, perhaps in addition the transformation of Leaf, can substitute for the wheat quickly, becomes the Border Town's main grain ration. 毫无疑问,珍珠米就是他熟悉的玉米。他激动地捏起一颗玉米粒,放在阳光下打量。果实有些干瘪,看来是存放了一个冬天的库存货。玉米的产量天生比小麦高出不少,而且对土壤要求低,加上叶子的改造,说不定能很快取代小麦,成为边陲镇的主要口粮。 Sean unties another package, puts out a reunion brown skin crops, „this is the potato, I have eaten in the Port of Clear Water hotel, slivers the strip to soak in the washbasin, chews to be very crisp, has a light fragrant sweet taste.” 肖恩又解开另一个包裹,拿出一团圆乎乎的褐皮作物,“这个是地蛋,我在碧水港的旅馆里吃过,切成条泡在水盆里,嚼起来很脆,有股淡淡的香甜味。” Sees this familiar contour, Roland sighs with emotion at heart extremely. This clearly is the potato! He uses the finger to dig out to moisten the full soil the cover, reveals inside deep yellow potato meat-- and later generation compares, at this time potato is not big, tuber face chromatic polarization depth, moreover is not each block is long is the same with the egg. He notes in the bag also to have the alike carrot to assume the long linearity generally the potato. 看到这熟悉的外形,罗兰心里感慨万分。这分明就是土豆啊！他用手指抠开沾满泥土的外皮,露出里面深黄色的薯肉——和后世的比起来,此时土豆个头不大,块茎颜色偏深,而且不是每块都长得跟鸡蛋一样。他注意到袋子里还有像胡萝卜一般呈长条形的土豆。 „This thing ground to steam pappy more delicious.” “这东西碾碎了蒸成糊状更好吃。” „...... Has your highness you eaten?” “呃……殿下您吃过？” „Yeah, in the royal palace banquet has eaten,” the Roland decision scatters one to lie, because potato name in was too coarse, „chefs did not call it the potato, but called the potato. The delicacy snack that steams called mashed potatoes.” “嗯,王宫宴席里吃过,”罗兰决定撒一个谎,因为地蛋这名字是在太难听了,“御厨们也不叫它地蛋,而是称之为土豆。蒸出来的美味小吃叫土豆泥。” „So that's it, worthily is your highness, is really experienced.” Sean said after a sigh, he last brace the straight package will open, extracts a black skin stick, „your highness, I thought that this crops were most important. The Port of Clear Water honey is very cheap, very big degree because of it. I news that hears in the tavern, they have more and more farmland to start the subcultivation sugar stick, stalk of this mysterious plant is unexpectedly sweet, after slicing off the cover, can squeeze out the syrup, the price is honey 1/10, drinks to have is not inferior the honey * the sweetness of water.” “原来如此,不愧是殿下,真是见多识广。”肖恩感叹道,他将最后一个撑得笔直的包裹打开,抽出一根黑皮棍子,“殿下,我觉得这个作物才是最重要的。碧水港的蜂蜜十分便宜,很大程度就是因为它。我在酒馆里听到的消息,他们有越来越多的农田开始转种糖棒,这种神奇植物的秆子竟然是甜的,削掉外皮后可以榨取糖水,价格是蜂蜜的1,喝起来却有着不逊于蜜*水的甘甜。” „......” Roland wants saying that very much this crops have also seen, changes to the sugar cane the name while convenient, but thinks or forget about it, later when makes citizen plant corrects again is not late. The raw material of sugar cane manufacture sucrose, planted multi- could also be used to refine the ethanol, is considered as crops that can greatly enhance the resident happy heart. Thinks to look, the wheat pancake that the bread flour makes is insipid, but if scattering some white sugar wrap, then can make the sense of taste promote several senses of depth immediately, even if the Roland salty party also will fall like this. “……”罗兰很想说这种作物自己也见过,顺便把名字改成甘蔗,但想想还是算了,以后让领民们种植时再纠正也不迟。甘蔗制造蔗糖的原料,种多了还可以用来提炼乙醇,算得上是可以大幅提高居民幸福感的农作物。想想看,面粉做出来的烙饼寡淡无味,可若撒上一些白糖包裹其中,便能令味觉顿时提升几个层次感,即使罗兰这样的咸党也会为之倾倒。 „Other crops seed?” “还有别的作物种子吗？” „Port of Clear Water these,” he fishes out 56 bags of small leather bags from the personal pocket, gives your highness, „you confessed that I Greycastle have, but small town no plant seed also one and belt comes back, these packages were I when passing by Willow Town and Fallen Dragon Ridge choose, had the grape, soybean, cotton, flax and olive tree seed. But the farmer said that the grape mostly in plants the branch insertion, although the seed can also plant, but the germination time is very slow, the grape that ties is not quite delicious.” “碧水港的就这些,”他从贴身口袋里摸出56袋小皮囊,交给殿下,“您交代我把灰堡有而小镇没有的植物种子也一并带回来,这几包都是我在路过柳叶镇和坠龙岭时挑选的,有葡萄、大豆、棉花、亚麻和橄榄树种子。只不过农夫说葡萄大多都是将枝桠插入地里来种植,种子虽然也能种,但发芽期十分缓慢,结出来的葡萄也不太好吃。” Some Leaf, these are not the issue, Roland thinks. Now had the grape seed, perhaps should try the grapevine version wheat. Greatly have the crops of use as for the soybean, cotton, flax and Chinese olive, first makes Leaf improve to suit in the Western Region climate and soil seed, then gives the serf the small scale planter, finally is responsible for summarizing the improvement by Ministry of Agriculture, the compilation planter handbook. 有叶子在,这些都不是问题,罗兰想。现在有了葡萄种子,或许该试一试葡萄藤版小麦了。至于大豆、棉花、亚麻、橄榄都是大有用处的作物,先让叶子改良出适合在西境气候和土壤的种子,再交给农奴小规模种植,最后由农业部负责总结改进,编写种植手册。 „Your highness, some of some of my also news need to report to you,” Sean said in a low voice, „situation about Port of Clear Water.” “殿下,我还有一些消息需要向您汇报,”肖恩低声说道,“关于碧水港的情况。” „Is related with Third Princess?” “跟三王女有关么？” Sean nods, „I have treated for nearly two weeks in Port of Clear Water, except for the purchase seed, other time mostly treats in the tavern. Some rumors said, your older sister Garcia Wimbledon and Sandpeople reached the agreement. She provides the place of southern region edge to the Sandpeople housing, but Sandpeople presents her for the king, obeys her recruiting and dispatching. But I in these days of harbor, indeed saw the form of many Mojin Clan person on the street.” 肖恩点点头,“我在碧水港待了近两个星期,除了购买种子,其余时间大多待在酒馆。有传言说,您的姐姐嘉西亚.温布顿和沙民达成了协议。她把南境边缘之地提供给沙民居住,而沙民则奉她为王,听从她的征召和调遣。而我在海港的这段时间,也的确在街上看到了不少莫金族人的身影。” Extreme Southern Region Mojin person...... Although Border Town did not ask the family background, but directed the kingdom territory to settle down large quantities of foreigner is a different matter. It seems like to compete for the throne, Garcia also really resorts to all means that Roland thinks. „Sandpeople also divides many factions, impossible obeys her pulling strings completely, you know what she wins over is which several Clan?” 极南境的莫金人……虽然边陲镇不问出身,但把大批异族引到王国领土上来定居又是另一码事。看来为了争夺王位,嘉西亚还真是不择手段,罗兰想。“沙民也分很多派别,不可能全部听从她的指使,你知道她拉拢的是哪几个氏族吗？” Sean shakes the head, „Sandpeople is very high to the Greycastle person vigilance, I use gold royal unable to buy a more detailed news. However...... The matters are very strange. I planned to leave Port of Clear Water previous the day, Garcia from the Eagle City successful return, in the city was celebrating their queens to defeat false king Timothy everywhere, finally next day in the city had 45 murder cases, the victim was ripped several on the street.” 肖恩摇摇头,“沙民对灰堡人戒心很高,我用金龙也买不到更详细的消息。不过……有一件事十分奇怪。我原本打算离开碧水港的前一天,嘉西亚从雄鹰城胜利回归,城里到处都在庆祝他们的女王击败了伪王提费科,结果第二天城里发生了45起凶杀案,有一名遇害者还是在街上被人撕成了几块。” „Port of Clear Water implemented afterward banned strictly, I have to treat there for three days. The tavern has been closed, everybody gathers in inn hall discusses this matter, some people said that is the retaliation of false king, some people said that is Sandpeople does. And a fjord merchant said that he has witnessed together murder, the abuser body is not big, obviously is not Sandpeople, but the strength and speed likely are not the normal person can have. Public security team that comes resulted in the wiped out to the last man by the homicide, but even if he in body number blade, blood stream everywhere also aloof. Until more police deputies rush over, the shield lance on complete/even kills him. Afterward banned relieves strictly, I do not dare to stop again, immediately travels by the merchant to hurry back.” “碧水港随后实行了禁严,我不得不在那儿多待了三天。酒馆都关门了,大家就聚在旅店大厅里谈论这件事情,有人说是伪王的报复,也有人说是沙民干的。其中一名峡湾商人说他亲眼目睹了其中一起凶杀,施虐者身材不算高大,显然不是沙民,但力量和速度都不像是正常人能拥有的。闻讯而来的治安队被他杀得片甲不留,而他即使身中数刀,血流满地也无动于衷。直到更多的治安队员陆续赶到,盾牌长矛齐上才将他杀死。后来禁严解除,我也不敢再多做停留,立刻搭乘商船赶回来了。” „You do very well,” Roland has pondered over the moment, „purchase seed remaining gold royal do not need to return to City Hall, is regarded as your reward.” “你做得很好,”罗兰思忖了片刻,“购买种子所剩下的金龙不必交还给市政厅了,就当作是你的奖赏吧。” „Your Highness thanked grants!” “谢殿下赏赐！” „Strength and speed far supernormal person, disregard the pain that the knife wound brings, sounds likely is...... Church's pill.” When leaves after personal guard, the Nightingale sound resounds in the ear. “力量和速度远超常人,无视刀伤带来的痛楚,听起来像是……教会的药丸。”待到亲卫离开后,夜莺的声音在耳边响起。 „I also think. However then could not convince,” Roland knits the brows saying that „according to the view of Sean, Garcia will obtain the time of pill to be only earlier than me, simultaneously will support two sides to compete for the throne...... What are they actually thinking?” He had not a good idea faintly, Church's real objective to not see stable Greycastle? “我也这么认为。不过如此一来就更说不通了,”罗兰皱眉道,“根据肖恩的说法,嘉西亚得到药丸的时间只会比我更早,同时支持两方争夺王位……他们到底在想些什么？”他心里隐隐有了一丝不好的想法,难道教会的真正目的并不是为了看到一个稳定的灰堡？
