LNMTL needs user funding to survive Read More

Near dock, more than ten sailing ships line up, the mast peak and staggered hemp rope had been bound pure white silver wires by the snowflake, the refugees from the cabin one after another, rushes the open area before dock. 码头边,十多艘帆船排成一线,桅杆顶端和交错的麻绳已经被雪花裹成了一条条洁白的银线,难民们从船舱里鱼贯而出,涌向码头前的空地。 This is not the Border Town first receive from Greycastle regional refugees, the entire process appears systematic. Four metal rails divide the tall and slender two rows the crowd, can control the stream of people, but can also avoid stepping on. By the parapet is grasping the police of short club inspection, will have to push and attempt to surmount parapet to be intimate a stick. Has the penalty naturally also to reward-- the people who to comfort after arrives at this place difficultly, can obtain one bowl of steaming hot thin rice gruel across the refugees of parapet channel. No matter how, fills the belly to be able effectively to reduce refugee's panic and illness to the strange territory first. 这已不是边陲镇第一次接收来自灰堡各地的难民,整个过程都显得井然有序。四道铁栏杆将人群分割成细长的两列,既可以控制人流,还能避免踩踏。栏杆两侧是握着短棍巡视的警察,有推挤和妄图翻越栏杆者都会挨上一棍。有惩罚自然也有奖励——为了安抚历经艰苦到达此地的人们,穿过栏杆通道的难民都能得到一碗热气腾腾的稀粥。不管如何,先填饱肚子能有效降低难民对陌生领地的恐慌和不适。 This time, besides the police, First Army and City Hall official, Nightingale also participated in the inspection with Silvie, for is discovers these Timothy in substance abuse who in the crowd places. Under carefully examining of Magic Eye, the pill or snow powder nowhere hide. 这一次,除了警察、第一军和市政厅官员外,夜莺跟希尔维也参与了检查,为的就是找出那些提费科在人群中安插的嗑药者。在魔力之眼的审视下,无论是药丸还是雪粉都无处隐藏。 „Thank you for all these that Western Region made,” Roland took back the line of sight, said to Margery, „, if were not your fleet, perhaps these people must pass the cold winter in the slums in other cities.” “感谢你为西境做的这一切,”罗兰收回视线,对身旁的玛格丽说道,“如果不是你的船队,这些人恐怕得在其他城市的贫民窟里度过寒冬了。” „Rare your highness seeks help from me with the so urgent tone, I naturally must whole-heartedly,” she smile, „many crew are not willing to depart in the heavy snow day, therefore can only gather such 13 ships.” “难得殿下用如此迫切的语气向我求助,我自然要全力以赴,”她笑了笑,“不过许多船员都不愿意在大雪天出航,所以只能凑到这么13艘船只。” „Always compares one not to be better,” Roland spout white clouds. Since knew that also some large quantities of refugees are detained after Silver Light City, Scarlet Water City and Willow Town, he then sent the support requirement letter to Margery Commerce, hoping the opposite party can collect a fleet, helping oneself ship the refugee. “总比一艘都没有要好,”罗兰吐出口白气。自从得知还有大批难民滞留在银光城、赤水城和柳叶镇后,他便向玛格丽商会寄去了求援信,希望对方能够征集一支船队,帮助自己运送难民。 Although 13 ships little have been short, but runs two always to be able the person to transport-- to build according to a sailing ship in 100 people, travels between one time to need two weeks of count-down, 3000 are detained the population almost to spend a half a month. gold royal that the First Army squad carries is unable to support at that time, therefore this return trip must deliver the grain and cold resistant clothing. Roland does not hope that has the refugee to hug is hoping the wing to embark, finally is actually not able to arrive in the destination. 虽然13条船少是少了点,不过多跑两趟总能把人运回来——按照一艘帆船搭在100人,往返一次需要两周时间计算,3000名滞留人口差不多要花去一个半月。第一军小队携带的金龙无法支撑到那个时候,所以这一趟返程还得运载粮食和抗寒衣物。罗兰不希望有难民抱着希翼上船,却最终无法抵达目的地。 Thanks to Lightning, Margery to transport cost to decide finally in ordinary day two times. Trades merchant who made farewell speech, definitely thinks that this was stupid business-- is the transport expense has only exceeded cargo own value, every two people of gold royal transport expense, according to the present market price, can buy several sturdy high-quality slaves on average. Margery once had also raised the question to him, but Roland still insisted that must bring back to Western Region this group of people. 托闪电的福,玛格丽最终将运输费用定在了平日的两倍上。换作别的商人,肯定认为这是一桩愚蠢的买卖——光是运费就超过了货物自身的价值,平均每两人一枚金龙的运费,按照现在的市场价格,可以买到好几名身强力壮的优质奴隶了。玛格丽也曾向他提出过疑问,不过罗兰仍坚持要将这批人带回西境。 From following the envoy group steps since that moment of sailing ship, they were considered as on are Western Region's citizen, oneself have the responsibility to provide the asylum for them. Moreover in the Roland eye, the values of these refugees is not the slave can compare, after education and training and re-employment, they will be inestimable in the wealth on the new post creating. 从跟随使者团踏上帆船的那一刻起,他们就已算得上是西境的领民,自己有责任为他们提供庇护。而且在罗兰眼里,这些难民的价值远不是奴隶所能比拟,经过教育培训和再就业后,他们在新岗位上创造出的财富将不可估量。 ...... …… Returns to the castle reception room, Roland told that kitchen is on Margery abundant one for the thick soup of driving out the cold, „drinks this, the hands and feet will be warmer.” 回到城堡会客厅,罗兰吩咐厨房为玛格丽盛上一份用于驱寒的浓汤,“喝下这个,手脚会暖和很多。” „Many thanks your good intention,” female merchant scoops up one spoon to smell, „in as if there is white liquor?” “多谢您的好意,”女商人舀起一勺闻了闻,“里面似乎有白酒？” „Indeed,” he said with a smile, „in addition, the pepper grain and the honey, the bed charge was the chicken soup.” Highly the liquor at any time is the excellent drinks of driving out the cold, heats with the chicken soup also makes the taste mellower, in addition covers its stimulation flavor the seasoning, causes the entire bowl of soup seasoning fresh fragrances, but pungent, the person who often does not drink can also the relaxed entrance. “的确,”他笑道,“除此之外,还有胡椒粒和蜂蜜,底料是鸡汤。”高度酒在任何时候都是驱寒的绝佳饮品,与鸡汤共热还使口感变得更加香醇,再加上掩盖其刺激味道的调味料,使得整碗汤料鲜香而略带辛辣,不常喝酒的人也能轻松入口。 After Margery eats up the thick soup slowly, released a long breath, „is really good, comes on your here road each time, I will be hopeful, does not know that you will cause any novel thing, was only a pity that next year I estimated did not have the means to visit your territory frequently.” 玛格丽缓缓喝完浓汤后,长出了口气,“真是不错,每次来您这儿的路上,我都会充满期待,不知您又会弄出什么新奇玩意,只可惜明年我估计没办法经常光顾您的领地了。” „You refer to the transaction opportunity?” Roland caught the meaning in her words keenly. “你是指交易机会吗？”罗兰敏锐地捕捉到了她话里的意思。 The female merchant nods, „Timothy had issued forbids saltpeter to trade the order that now incessantly is Kingdom Capital, Silver Light City and Scarlet Water City saltpeter can not outside sell, supplies besides the low price to Alchemy Association, can only sell to noble in city.” 女商人点点头,“提费科已经发布了禁止硝石交易的命令,现在不止是王都,就连银光城和赤水城的硝石也不得外售,除了低价供应给炼金协会外,就只能卖给城里的贵族了。” The Roland brow wrinkled. 罗兰眉头皱了起来。 „Moreover inquired from the City Hall channel according to me news that he seems planning blocks Western Region comprehensively, perhaps incessantly is saltpeter, the merchant will block off in Scarlet Water City one. At the appointed time is Border Town, Longsong Stronghold and Willow Town also meets one incessantly and receives the influence. Although many noble expressed opposition, but Timothy should not take back the order.” She shakes the head to say reluctantly, „will wait till next year, I am not only unable to transport saltpeter and ore ingot to this place, the Steam engine transaction possibly must stop.” “而且据我从市政厅渠道打听到的消息,他似乎正在策划全面封锁西境,恐怕不止是硝石,就连商人都会被堵截在赤水城一线。届时不止是边陲镇,长歌要塞、柳叶镇也会一并收到影响。尽管许多贵族都表示出反对,但提费科应该不会收回命令。”她无奈地摇头道,“等到来年,我不但无法将硝石、矿锭运到此地,就连蒸汽机交易可能也要中止了。” It seems like oneself were compels him anxiously, otherwise he will not carry out this type to injure similarly large decree to the royal family, Roland mused, in has not completed the centralization under situation to interfere the trade actions of other territories rashly, likely aroused feudal lord and big noble revolt psychology. Even if Timothy sends out own military strength to defend the land route and river course, from the back was eradicated-- by local evil behind-the-scenes manipulator of feudal lord easily, so long as he enforces a one year or so this policy. 看来自己是把他逼急了,不然他不会搬出这种对王室伤害同样颇大的旨意,罗兰不禁暗想,在没有完成中央集权的情况下贸然干涉其他领地的贸易行动,很可能激起领主和大贵族的反抗心理。就算提费科派出自己的兵力守住陆路和河道,也容易被当地领主从背后下黑手铲除——只要他将这个政策强制执行个一年半载的话。 But how the trade is the Border Town's dead hole, let alone one year...... Even if a half year does not permit. saltpeter is the raw material of large-scale system acid, before the artificial synthetic ammonia has not solved, its importance is irreplaceable. Once stops supplying, 152 millimeters cannon has become the ornaments, the replacement of new-style repeater will also be postponed. 但奈何贸易就是边陲镇的死穴,别说一年……就算是半年也绝不允许。硝石是大规模制酸的原料,在人工合成氨没有解决前,其重要性无可取代。一旦停止供应,152毫米火炮就成了摆设,新式连发枪的换装也会被延后很多。 However compared with weapon, what awfully is Steam engine trade-- in the City Hall treasury preserves gold royal that not to be many now, money part of making money is used in the infrastructure, increases the job unceasingly, part provides as the salary to the townspeople, then recycles through the grain, the convenient commodity and housing transaction, making it form the circulation. This economic type needs to pour into gold royal for the market unceasingly, at least and wealth of citizen creation is equal. 不过比起武器,更要命的是蒸汽机贸易——如今市政厅金库里留存的金龙并不多,赚钱的钱币一部分用于基础建设,不断增加工作岗位,还有一部分则作为薪酬发放给镇民,然后通过粮食、便民商品和住房交易来回收,使之形成循环。这种经济模式需要不断为市场注入金龙,至少得与领民创造的财富相等。 Now Border Town was still at primitive accumulation condition, does not have the release credit money, once has been short of some Steam engine this trade revenues, the finance is very easy to fall into unable to send out the salary the dry region, is the economy comprehensively crashes. 如今边陲镇仍处于原始积累状态,也没有发行信用货币,一旦少了蒸汽机这部分贸易收入,财政很容易陷入发不出薪酬的干涸境地,接下来就是经济全面崩盘。 In any event, situation that fund interrupt is unable to accept absolutely. 无论如何,资金中断是绝对无法接受的情况。 „This aspect will not maintain too for a long time,” Roland lets go saying that „believes you can patronize this Western Region small town quickly once more...... It is not right, by that time, you see should be a brand-new city.” “这个局面不会维持太久的,”罗兰摊手道,“相信你很快就能再次光顾这座西境小镇……不对,到那时,你看到的应该是一座全新的城市了。” Margery somewhat is slightly surprised, „do you plan to construct the city here?” 玛格丽微微有些惊讶,“您打算在此建城？” „After Months of Demons had finished,” he said with a smile, „other, I planned to open one with the fjord direct connected business route, not through Sea Wind Region or Port of Clear Water, but was directly from Western Region set off, went straight to the fjord islands. Does not know that you do have the interest participation?” “就在邪魔之月结束后,”他笑道,“另外,我打算开辟一条与峡湾直接相连的商贸航线,不是通过海风郡或碧水港,而是直接从西境出发,直抵峡湾诸岛。不知道你有没有兴趣参与？” …… ……
