高耸的内城墙将王都分割成两个不同的世界,进出实行严格的管制,无论是贵族还是富商,都需要在入口处的小房间里进行全面检查,一旦有发病的迹象,如发热、潮红、黑斑,都不会被允许入内。从内城区离开后,必须在当天傍晚时分赶回,否则太阳一落山,城门闭锁后,就只能在外面过夜了。Butthis is still not ableto preventevilepidemic diseaseto spread, yesterday in heheard the cityto have the nobleinfectedrumor, if notChurchemitsfirstbatch of elixirfinally, perhapsnoblemustevacuateKingdom Capitalcollectively.
但这样依然无法阻止邪疫蔓延,昨天他已经听到内城区有贵族被感染的传言,如果不是教会终于放出第一批圣药,恐怕贵族们就要集体撤离王都了。After the letterdeliverssixthday, Margery Commercehas spread the newsfinally. Herusheshurriedlyagreesin a goodplace--tailer shop, thengotinto the basementby the sales clerk, but the chamber of commercemastersalreadyherewaited there for some time.
就在信件送出去后的第六天,玛格丽商会终于传来了消息。他急匆匆赶到约定好的地点——一间裁缝店里,接着被店员领入地下室,而商会主人早已在此等候多时。Sees onlyMargeryto sit wellnear a shorttable, on the tableis also suspendingbasiniceglowwater, is sending out the intermittentcold airunceasingly. fullheadisperspirationTasaarrives atheroppositeto sit cross-leggedto sit down, immediatelyfelt a cool breezefront surfacethrows, cannot help but the spiritinspires.
只见玛格丽端坐在一张矮桌边,桌上还摆着一盆冰芒水,正不断散发出阵阵寒气。满头是汗的塔萨走到她对面盘腿坐下,顿时感到一股凉风迎面扑来,不由得精神一振。„Your highnessholdsmeto giveyourletter,”shehands overoneto fold the goodsheepskinenvelope, the sealsealing waxseemscompletecomplete.
“殿下托我交给你的信,”她递过一张叠好的羊皮信封,封口处的火漆看上去完整无缺。Tasadisassembledimpatiently, takes outonletter paper--to confessbrieflyduty that the planning for action and First Armyset offnews, as well asheneedsto complete. Carefully after reading, he letter paperincomebosom, looked atcoollytoMargery, „what did your highnesshavetoyouraisesto request?”塔萨迫不及待地拆开,取出信纸——上面简要交代了行动计划、第一军出发的消息,以及他需要完成的任务。仔细阅读一遍后,他不露声色地将信纸收入怀中,望向玛格丽,“殿下有向你提什么要求吗?”„, Hehas not held the messengerto sendthisletter--to be natural, the expressinformation transmitneedsto collect fees, Ialreadyinaccount.”
“并没有,他只是托信使送来了这封信——当然,特快消息传递是需要收费的,我已经记在账上了。”„cough cough, isthis,”Tasasettles the throatclear, „your highnessneedsin a short timeto ship backWestern Regionallrefugees, therefore, hehopes that youcanprovide the massiveshipsto carry on the uninterruptedtransportation, butnon-1-2fleets.”
“咳咳,是这样,”塔萨清了清喉咙,“殿下需要在很短的时间内把所有逃民运回西境,因此,他希望你能提供大量船只来进行不间断的运输,而非一两支船队。”„Even iftheyare the infected people?”Margeryhave a relishguessed, „Ithinkhedefinitelywas not willingto turn into a stretch of deathtrapentireWestern Region, therefore...... Had your highnessfound the curemethod of evilepidemic disease?”
“哪怕他们是感染者?”玛格丽饶有兴致地猜测道,“我想他肯定不愿将整个西境变成一片死地,所以……殿下找到了邪疫的治愈方法?”„Indeedso,”henods, „in facton the firstfleethad the sickness, buthad not eruptedat that time, when untilarriving insmall towndiscovered. Nowtheyare returning to the Kingdom Capitalroad, allcrew is well.”
“的确如此,”他点点头,“事实上第一支船队上就已经存在病患,只是当时没有爆发出来,直到抵达小镇时才发现。现在他们正在返回王都的路上,所有船员都平安无事。”„Your HighnessRoland is really an inconceivableperson, Churchsuchquicklyhas not put out the antidote,” the Margeryto praisesighed,„heplannedhow manydaystimewithships the refugee? Oneweek?”
“罗兰殿下果然是个不可思议的人,就连教会都没这么快拿出解药,”玛格丽赞叹道,“那么他打算用多少天的时间来运送难民?一周?”Tasastretches outthreefingers.塔萨伸出三根指头。„This...... impossible!” The femalemerchanthas been startled the moment, shakes the headto sayquicklyagain and again,„thesepeoplediehalf, still over 5000people, threedays of inland transportationendedmeans that Ineedto prepareabouthundredsailing ships, even ifotherchamber of commerceship transportstopto divert the transportation, justsatisfiesthisnumber--butthen, loss that Isufferperhapsinseveral thousandgold royalabove, but the customer who thereforelosesis unable to count, even ifSteam engineis unable to counter-balance some amountsfree. Therefore...... PleaseIreject.”
“这……不可能!”女商人怔了片刻,很快连连摇头道,“就算这些人死上一半,也仍有5000人以上,三天内运完就意味着我需要准备近百条帆船,即使商会其他船运都停下来挪作运输,也只是刚好满足这个数目——但如此一来,我遭受的损失或许在数千枚金龙以上,而因此丢失的顾客更是无法统计,即使蒸汽机免费都无法抵消这部分数额。所以……请恕我拒绝。”„Ifallpeoplesitin the deck, butdoes not lie downin the cabin of beltbedboard, the population that a shipcandelivercandouble,”Tasapersists insaying,„is not fastidiouscomfortably, transports the oretwomastsailing shipsalso to bringto transport the person, so long aslifts the access panel, a timecanload about 200people. Suchship, yourold friend should Hogghavemuch?”
“如果所有人都坐在甲板上,而不是躺在带床板的舱室里,一条船能运载的人数可以翻上一番,”塔萨坚持道,“不讲究舒适的话,运矿石的两桅帆船也能拿来运人,只要掀开舱盖,一次可以装载200人左右。这样的船,你的老朋友霍格应该有不少吧?”„InSilver Light City, heindeedseveralsuchsteamships......”Margerylooks likesomewhathesitant, „, moreoveraccording toyouralgorithm, canreduce the shipsquantityto about 50probably. But...... Thisis notoneis goodto buy and sell.”
“在银光城,他的确有好几艘这样的大船……”玛格丽看起来有些犹豫,“而且按你的算法,大概能将船只数量降低到50艘左右。可是……这并非一桩好买卖。”Tasabelievessimilarly,mustletdozensshipsgatheringsabove the canal, is only dispatchesandcoordinatedneedsto spend the massiveenergy, moreovercost of chartering is also not the entiretribeinownpocket, takes the troubleandtakes the trouble, harvestmanyliving, howhave not been ableto calculate that the penis goodto trade. Hence, he can only put forthoneto incurfinally.塔萨同样这么认为,要让好几十艘船只汇聚于运河之上,光是调度和协调就需要花费大量精力,而且租船的费用还不是全部落在自己口袋,又费神又费力,收获还不多的活,怎么样都不能算笔好交易。至此,他只能使出最后一招了。Your highnesswrites downoneline of small charactersinend of letter: IfMargeryis not willingto provide the help, toldher, Lightningalsocame.
殿下在信的末尾写下一行小字:如果玛格丽不愿提供帮助的话,就告诉她,闪电也来了。These wordsmake the personsomewhat unable to feel the brains, does the femalemerchanthavewhatparticular relationshipwiththatlivelylovablegolden hairlittle girl? Fromappearancecompletelynotlike...... Howeveryour highnesssaid that certainlyhashisreason. Thinks ofhere, Tasaopens the mouthto sayslowly,„catches upinthreedaysmoves away is also the procedure of having no recourse, the matter that your highnessdoesis equalto the fingers/tiger mouthseizes the food, ifdragstoofor a long time, Church will possibly walk in--, butLightningalsointhistimeteam, bythemwas discoveredhadwitchto existis dangerous.”
这句话让人有些摸不着头脑,难道女商人与那名活泼可爱的金发小姑娘有什么特殊关系?从外貌上来说完全不像啊……不过殿下这么说一定有他自己的理由。想到这儿,塔萨缓缓开口道,“赶在三天内运走也是迫不得已的做法,殿下所做的事相当于虎口夺食,如果拖得太久,教会很可能会找上门来——而闪电也在这次的队伍中,被他们发现有女巫存在就危险了。”„What did yousay?”Hersoundsuddenlyhigh a section, „did Lightningalsocome?”
“你说什么?”她的声音陡然高了一截,“闪电也来了?”„In your highnessbelievedindeedsaid that”Tasashipped out an appearance of honest and good-natured person, „probablytogive the teamled the wayandprovides the early warning. After allhereis the new KingTimothydomain.”
“殿下信里的确是这么说的,”塔萨装出一副老实人的模样,“大概是为了给队伍引路和提供预警吧。毕竟这里是新王提费科的地盘。”„Iknew,”Margerystanding upbody, „when do youneed the ships?”
“我知道了,”玛格丽站起身子,“你什么时候需要船只?”„Shouldfourdayslater, iftheydo not delayon the road.”
“应该是在四天后,如果他们不在路上耽搁的话。”„Iwill arrangeas far as possible,”shearrives at the desk, startsto take pen in handto write quickly, „Ihave a condition, youmusttell the position that myyour highnessteamis stationed, iftheywantto enter a city, I can also arrange the sufficientroom.”
“我会尽量去安排的,”她走到书桌边,开始提笔疾书,“不过我有一个条件,你必须告诉我殿下队伍驻扎的位置,如果他们想要进城,我也能安排充足的房间。”Good, it seems like that this movetrulyeffective, „thisIwantnot to have the issue,”Tasachuckles to oneself saying that „other, I have a matterto needyouto help.”
好吧,看来这一招确实有效,“这点我想没问题,”塔萨窃喜道,“另外,我还有件事需要你帮助。”„Said,”Margerysighed.
“说罢,”玛格丽叹了口气。„Ineed a carriageteam of haulagecask, the caskquantitythe more better, butindo not load the aleor the wine, butis the packingriver wateror the well water.”Believes in according toyour highness the view, the key manorwitch that Lilysolves the wickedepidemic disease, shecan the good medicine that the ordinarywatertransforms the care illness. Howeverinthisplanhas a seriousloophole, thatcannotletMousecloseFirst Armycamp--, iftheyknow that incampsomepeoplecanmake„elixir”continuously, Tasawillmake a bet, next daythisnewswhole cityallwill know.
“我需要一支拖运酒桶的马车队伍,酒桶数量越多越好,但里面不要装入麦酒或葡萄酒,而是填充河水或井水。”按照殿下信里的说法,解决恶疫的关键人物还是女巫莉莉,她能将普通的水转化成治愈疾病的良药。不过这个计划里有个严重的漏洞,那就是绝不能让老鼠们接近第一军营地——如果他们知道营地里有人能源源不断制造“圣药”的话,塔萨敢打赌,第二天这个消息就会满城皆知。„River waterandwell water?”Shehas raised the eyebrow, „did youdetermine?”
“河水和井水?”她扬了扬眉毛,“你确定?”„Relax, your highnesswill pay moneyfor this reason.”Tasasaid with a smile.
“放心,殿下会为此付钱的。”塔萨笑道。In order tokeep secretwith the security concern, can only shiptoKingdom Capitalthisdistancebyhimfrom the teambasepersonally. Ifliketreatingeastern regionrefugees, takeswater bagsto eliminate the evilepidemic disease, troubleddid not say, the efficiency was also very low. Hemustfind the wayto lead intoas far as possible many treated waterone time.
为了保密和安全考虑,从队伍驻扎地到王都这段路程只能由他亲自运送。如果像治疗东境逃民那样,提着一个个水袋去消除邪疫,麻烦不说,效率也十分低下。他必须想办法一次性带入尽可能多的净化水。Installsgiganticcaskonwagonobviouslyis a goodchoice.
安装在四轮马车上的硕大酒桶显然是个不错的选择。
