When approaches to the summer, the Margery inland river fleet arrived in Border Town. 待到夏天来临时,玛格丽的内河船队抵达了边陲镇。 Roland received the female merchant in dock specially, while convenient examines the cargo that she brings. 罗兰特意在码头接待了女商人,顺带查看她带来的货物。 Most important is saltpeter of entire three ship, now Border Town's gunpowder has exhausted basically, stopped including the gunnery practice of First Army. Although revolving rifle started the small scale to equip its forces, but also only stays, in practicing to trade the ball to discharge, on the guns maintenance and recharging medicine. Now had this batch of saltpeter, finally can resume the firing practice to train. 最重要的便是整整三船的硝石,如今边陲镇的火药基本已耗尽,连第一军的射击练习都停止了。虽然转轮步枪已开始小规模装备部队,但也只停留在练习换弹退弹、枪支保养和复装弹药上。现在有了这批硝石,终于可以恢复实弹射击训练了。 Besides saltpeter, she also deferred to the agreement to bring two ship ore ingot, was mainly the iron and copper, as well as some green vitriol ores, these cargo light were the unloading must spend on for 2-3 days. 除了硝石外,她还依照约定带来了两船矿锭,主要是铁和铜,以及部分绿矾矿石,这些货物光是卸载都要花上两三天。 Roland also places two Steam engine in the dump site striking position, and puts on the scarlet cloth satin according to the convention, tied the big safflower, approved for Margery. In fact, Western Region industrial corporation nearly one month rough only pieced together Steam engine, this was based on over a hundred scrapped parts, therefore Roland has to make Anna go into action, was not the too big components below standard carries on the retreatment to these deviations, made second Steam engine catch the scheduled payment time. 罗兰也将两台蒸汽机摆放在堆场醒目位置,并按惯例披上红布缎,系上了大红花,供玛格丽验收。事实上,西境工业公司将近一个月的时间磕磕绊绊只拼凑出了一台蒸汽机,这还是建立在上百块报废零件的基础上,所以罗兰不得不让安娜出马,对那些偏差不是太大的残次零件进行再加工,才使得第二台蒸汽机赶上了预定交付时间。 Made Roland be what was surprised, Margery these time alone did not come, she has also brought the Kingdom Capital merchant group. 令罗兰感到意外的是,玛格丽这一次并不是独自前来,她还带来了王都的商人团。 After finalizing the commodity, Margery one line of return to the castle with Roland, enjoys the sumptuous lunch in the reception room. 交割完商品后,玛格丽一行人跟着罗兰回到城堡,在会客厅中享用丰盛的午餐。 „Your highness, this is Hogg, my old friend, is the mining industry merchant who Kingdom Capital ranks among the best.” The Margery one by one introduction said, „this is Gamore, with Marlan with belonging to Crescent Moon Bay Caravan, sells the cross-ocean trade of Greycastle and fjord. They are very interested in Steam engine. I and they am acquainted for many years, embarrassed increased price to sell to them again, therefore brought to introduce them to you.” “殿下,这位是霍格,我的老朋友,也是王都数一数二的矿业商人。”玛格丽一一介绍道,“这位是加摩尔,和玛尔兰同属于弦月湾商队,主营灰堡与峡湾的跨海贸易。他们对蒸汽机都十分感兴趣。我和他们相识多年,也不好意思再加价卖给他们,因此把他们带来介绍给您。” „Sends respects to you, Esteemed your highness,” supports big belly, whole face gloss shining Hogg is opening the mouth saying that „listened to Margery saying that this type of machine can substitute for the manpower, pumped water and transports from the mine pit the ore fast . Moreover the strength was greatly infinite, all day didn't need to rest? Can make me have a look with own eyes?” “向您问安,尊敬的殿下,”挺着大肚子,满脸油光发亮的霍格开口道,“听玛格丽说,这种机器能取代人力,快速从矿井里抽水和运矿,而且还力大无穷,整天都不用休息？能让我亲眼看看吗？” „Naturally,” Roland sips a wine, he definitely has not been from the beginning able to adapt to this bitter flavor, now also gradually some be used to it, „wish makes it transport the ore, but must necessary install track system. After having had the lunch, I can lead you to go to under the Northern Slope Mine experience.” “当然可以,”罗兰抿了口葡萄酒,一开始他完全无法适应这酸涩的味道,现在也渐渐有些习惯了,“不过想要让它搬运矿石,还得配套安装轨道系统。吃过午餐后,我可以带你们去北坡矿山见识下。” „Your highness, I feel to the Steam engine use that you described very curiously, it can be installed on the sailing ship, replaced the sail to actuate the ships to go forward?” Marlan opens the mouth saying that „, if likely sea boat that type of three masts to the steamships of four masts? Its strength is perhaps insufficient.” “殿下,我对您描述的蒸汽机用途感到十分好奇,它真的能被安装到帆船上,代替风帆驱动船只前进吗？”玛尔兰开口道,“如果是像海船那种三桅到四桅的大船呢？它的力气恐怕不够吧。” „Steam engine is also same as the horses, some strengths are big, some strengths are small, when this depends on makes the model. Naturally, strives the big machine naturally to be more expensive. Moreover insufficient, but can also on two, on four.” Roland smiles answer. “蒸汽机也和马匹一样,有的力气大,有的力气小,这取决于制造时的型号。当然,出力大的机器自然要更贵一些。而且一台不够,还可以上两台、上四台嘛。”罗兰笑着回答。 Let Steam engine embark, even if most primitive Stream Ship, related to the complicated system of power, transmission and control, besides Border Town, other Greycastle places has not had the re-equipping technical force. But transformation such ships, the expenditure greatly will definitely surpass Steam engine itself. 让蒸汽机上船,即使是最原始的明轮船,也是涉及动力、传动和操控的复杂系统,除了边陲镇以外,灰堡没有其它地方拥有改装的技术力量。而改造一艘这样的船只,花费必然会大大超过蒸汽机本身。 „Such being the case, Crescent Moon Bay Caravan also wants to order this type of machine from you.” Gamore forks the steamed stuffed bun that just emerged to force in the mouth, was burnt to narrow the eye by the spicy meat broth. “既然如此,弦月湾商队也想向您订购这种机器。”加摩尔叉起一个刚出笼的包子塞进嘴里,被香浓的肉汁烫得眯起了眼睛。 Really the birds of a feather flock together, the like attracts like, the friend or the dog wealthy and powerful family of dog wealthy and powerful family, the actual result did not look, the direct decision orders, as if not pay attention to over a thousand gold royal completely. 果然物以类聚,人以群分,狗大户的朋友还是狗大户,连实际效果都不看,就直接拍板下单,仿佛完全不把上千金龙放在眼里。 Roland shook the head, „was a pity that Border Town is short-handed, Steam engine makes in addition very complex, before completing the Margery order, perhaps is very difficult to produce in a hurry the extra machine.” 罗兰摇了摇头,“可惜边陲镇人手不足,加上蒸汽机制造起来十分复杂,在完成玛格丽的订单前,恐怕很难赶制出额外的机器。” „I can provide to your manpower, Esteemed your highness,” Gamore has patted the chest, „carpenter or blacksmith, even is the ship carpenter, in my harbor has many, moreover does not need to pay wages!” “我可以提供给您人手,尊敬的殿下,”加摩尔拍了拍胸口,“无论是木匠还是铁匠,甚至是造船工人,我的港口里都有不少,而且还不用付工钱！” „After then lets they learn approach of manufacture, use for you?” Hogg interrupted. “然后让他们学到制造方法后为你所用？”霍格插嘴道。 „No! Of course not!” He stares the round eye saying that „how I dare to play this acrobatics in front of His Highness the Prince. Ten years, Your highness,” he opens two palms, „I am willing to make them work for ten years for you, the salary is disbursed by me. One request, is Steam engine that is made by them first sells to Crescent Moon Bay Caravan.” “不！当然不是！”他瞪圆眼睛道,“我怎么敢在王子殿下面前耍这种把戏。十年,殿下,”他张开两只手掌,“我愿意让他们为您工作十年,薪酬由我来支出。只有一个要求,就是由他们制造的蒸汽机优先售卖给弦月湾商队。” This interesting proposition, Roland thinks actually, is similar forms a partnership to the technology of later generation, oneself only provide the technology, and earns big end of-- to be natural, the opposite party can also obtain Steam engine as soon as possible, moreover ten years later can also obtain a group of technical personnel, in the ten years the salary of worker quite purchased cost in the technology. 这倒是个有趣的提议,罗兰想,类似于后世的技术合伙,自己只提供技术,并且赚取大头——当然,对方也可以尽快得到蒸汽机,而且十年后还能得到一批技术人员,这十年工人的薪酬就相当于技术购买费用了。 „First does not use anxiously decision, after these details we can look at the material object, discussed again slowly,” Roland downward pressure hand, „, moreover here is not only then Steam engine is worth purchasing, something think that you will be interested similarly, for example this.” He hit a sound to refer , the bodyguard's from the foot in wooden chest carried out big bunch of things, each article was placed on the table. “先不用急着拍板,这些细节我们可以看过实物后再慢慢谈,”罗兰向下压压手,“而且我这里并不是只有蒸汽机值得购买,有些东西想必你们同样会感兴趣,例如这个。”他打了个响指,身边的侍卫从脚边木箱子里搬出一大堆东西,一件件摆在桌上。 „These are the Border Town's new commodities, regardless of which type is good-quality, the reasonable price, for example this simplest mug,” Roland points on the table the color gorgeous cup saying that „is lithe and artistic, not like crystal cup brittle. The above design can have custom-made, moreover does not get wet, is extremely easy to clean.” “这些都是边陲镇的新商品,无论哪样都是质量上乘,价格公道,例如这个最简单的马克杯,”罗兰指着桌上颜色绚丽的杯子说道,“轻盈、美观,又不像水晶杯那样易碎。上面的图案可以定制,而且不沾水,极容易清洗。” „Doesn't get wet?” Margery takes up a cup to size up carefully. “不沾水？”玛格丽拿起一个杯子仔细打量。 „You can try with the wine,” prince teased, „after drinking up, can disguise the alcoholic intoxication to throw it on the ground, broke to pieces has calculated my.” “你可以用葡萄酒试试,”王子打趣道,“喝完后还可以假装醉酒把它扔在地上,碎了算我的。” „This work, truly fine incomparable...... Perhaps can't each cup be able to guarantee such quality?” Was pregnant Hogg to be filled with the liquor to oneself, drank, „, inside was does unexpectedly.” “这做工,啧啧,确实精细无比……恐怕不能每个杯子都能保证这样的质量吧？”大肚子霍格已经给自己盛满了酒,一口饮下,“咦,里面居然是干的。” Naturally does, its essence is an ordinary wooden cup, but has covered a Soraya picture, the above design is designs. „It does not conflict with the crystal cup, compared with official palace banquet, it more suitable in appearing in these thousand gold (daughter) young ladies' boudoirs.” Roland said, „as far as I know, they are sharp to the color, the contour also the artistic thing always does not have what resistivity.” 当然是干的,它本质是个普通的木杯,不过覆盖了一层索罗娅的画,上面的图案都是自己设计的。“它与水晶杯并不冲突,比起正式的宫廷宴席,它更适合于出现在那些千金大小姐们的闺房中。”罗兰说道,“据我所知,她们对颜色亮丽,外形又美观的东西向来没有什么抵抗力。” „I also believe,” Margery interested nodded, „you look like indeed experience richly.” “我也这么认为,”玛格丽饶有兴趣地点了点头,“您看来的确经验丰富。” „cough cough,” prince coughs two, „has a look at this again, thickness completely even overall chest armor, altogether two, are built by the wrought iron. Facile did not say compared with Knight board armor, a person then dresses, after closing up, does not have the slit, suits does not have the caravan guards who squire follows to use. What is most essential, it wants cheaply compared with board armor......” “咳咳,”王子咳嗽两声,“再看看这个,厚度完全均匀的整体胸甲,一共前后两块,均由熟铁打造。比起骑士的板甲轻便不说,一个人即可穿戴,合拢后没有缝隙,适合没有扈从跟随的商队卫兵使用。最关键的是,它比板甲要便宜……” ...... …… Introduced after all commodities, merchants cannot bear whisper. Roland simply leaves their period of free discussion time, sets out to leave the hall, goes to near the garden corridor the loose air/Qi. 介绍完所有商品后,商人们忍不住地交头接耳起来。罗兰干脆留给他们一段自由讨论时间,起身离开大厅,前往庭园长廊边散散气。 „Your highness, one month does not see, your here were also many many novel things.” Margery. “殿下,一个月不见,您这里又多了不少新奇东西。”玛格丽也跟着走了出来。 „Don't under you need to exchange views with them?” “你不用和他们交换下意见吗？” „No, thing that I settle on does not need to listen to others' idea, the commodity is also good, the person, is so.” She shakes the head with a smile, „caravan will stay probably here for 34 days, you can...... Let me have a look at Lightning again?” “不,我看中的东西不需要听取别人的想法,商品也好,人也罢,都是如此。”她笑着摇摇头,“商队大概会在这里停留34天,您能……让我再看看闪电吗？” „Although she has not recognized you, but previous time at least has not expressed the sentiment of disliking, therefore, I do not think any issue.” “虽然她没有认出你,不过上次至少没表示出讨厌之情,所以,我想没什么问题。” „Thank you!” Margery said grateful. “谢谢您！”玛格丽感激地说道。 „Slight effort,” Roland smiled, „was right, since you stay are so long, might as well guarding the threshing floor play? Three days later Border Town will hold its first time theatrical performance.” “举手之劳,”罗兰笑了笑,“对了,既然你们停留这么久的话,不妨来看场戏剧吧？三天后边陲镇将举行它的首次戏剧演出。” „One month, did you construct the theater?” Her surprised say/way. “一个月时间,您把剧院都建出来了？”她惊讶道。 „Naturally does not have. This is an open-air show, in the square of small town center, I thinks that it will be definitely out of the ordinary.” “当然没有。这是一场露天表演,就在小镇中心的广场上,我认为它肯定会与众不同。” „That was respectful might as well obey orders, Your highness.” Margery caresses the chest to lower the head to say. “那就恭敬不如从命了,殿下。”玛格丽抚胸低头道。
