Chapter 421 Refugee tide

"You are doing well!" Leo reached out and patted Jason on the arm, looking at his delicate gentleman's windbreaker and high-end watch, and said.

The Spirit Net swept the other party. I have to say that compared to Jason's condition a few years ago, the giant family bloodline on his body has been stimulated to a certain extent, and the most direct manifestation is that his body has become taller and stronger.

"Haha!" Jason smirked twice, then said to his wife following him, "Come on! Lisa, let me introduce you to you. This is what I often say about good comrades-in-arms, good brothers, Leo!"

"Hello, Leo." After Jason confirmed Leo's identity, Lisa's last suspicion dissipated. She followed her husband's instructions and went forward to say hello to Leo, and her tone was also very close.

"Hello." Leo nodded, and said to Jason: "I should be living in Port Sate for a while."

"This is really great, Nelson will definitely be very happy," Jason was very sincerely happy for Leo's decision. Then, as if he remembered something, he hurriedly said, "By the way, your two properties have always been taken care of by Nelson and me. Now that you are back, you can exchange them for you." As he said, he led Leo out and said, "Let's go to your apartment first. I think you should also want to wash it first. I can take this time to find Nelson and tell him the news of your return."

Leo did not object, followed Jason out of the office, came outside the hotel, got on a special carriage, and drove towards the city.

On the way, Jason talked endlessly about the experiences and past events over the years, while Leo listened and looked at the scene in Sateport outside, recalling his past memories.

In Leo Dodd's memory, Sate Port has a very deep impression, because it was the first big city he saw. Even if the memories of the past have become fragments of memory, the memories related to Sate Port are still very profound.

If he had not joined the army, Leo Dodd would probably never leave his hometown in this life, a barren village in the Ing Kingdom, took over his father's blacksmith shop, built some daily iron tools such as farm tools for the villagers, and then married a woman from the village to live his life.

However, Leo Dodd finally chose to go out and walked out of the village in an extremely cheap way, and saw the outside world. The first big city he saw was Sateport.

After some training, Leo's troops immediately set off to the battlefield. Originally, the troops were going to leave from the exclusive military port, but there were insufficient military ships at that time, so some civilian ships were requisitioned to leave from other port cities. Leo's troops were assigned to the Port of Sate, and they were even lucky to stay here for two days, allowing Leo to visit the city.

In Leo's current memory, he clearly remembers the scene when he visited Sateport Port with his comrades, and even remembers the oaths he made when he brags about each other. It has to be said that the oath he made at that time had a real estate in Sateport Port and became a city owner, which has now been completed.

Just like other emerging big cities on the Velone Continent, the urban buildings of Sateport are also changing rapidly. Old buildings are demolished every day, and more gorgeous new buildings are rebuilt every day.

Although Sateport is one of the earliest port cities in the Kingdom of Ing, and has a history of hundreds of years, with that tsunami and dungeon, the ancient buildings in Sateport were almost completely destroyed, and the undestroyed ones were eventually turned into ruins, making the rebuilt Sateport become as full of various trendy buildings as emerging cities, without any feeling of an ancient city.

For the city builders of Sate Harbor, they may also thank the tsunami, because the old Sate Harbor had no urban planning when it was built, and the entire city was built very chaotic and dirty, without any big city pattern at all.

For example, for the convenience of the old city, all urban areas were built with the dock area as the center, and they were mixed with each other. In addition, there was no sewer built, and various dirt flowed everywhere, and the stench filled the entire city. This also made the most popular product in Sateport at that time, perfume.

The earthquake and tsunami that year completely destroyed the entire city, and Sate Harbor became a white canvas, and city architects could draw scenery on this canvas at will.

However, the original city builders obviously did not expect that the Flan Empire would split, the Velone Continent would fall into various chaos, and a large number of refugees and refugees would pour into Sate Port. Sate Port would expand several times in just a few decades, so the reserved urban expansion land for that year had already been full. If it continued to expand, it would have to be built on the surrounding mountains.

For this reason, the powerful people in the city now have to think of other ways, such as starting from urban construction, using the high-rise building method passed down from the Kingdom of Galica to increase some two- or three-story apartments to more than ten floors, and reducing the area of ​​rooms, renting them to ordinary people at a low price, and then canceling all the parks built in slums before and converting them into houses, and even moving workers' families to factory areas to build workers' exclusive residential houses and commercial streets to reduce the chance of workers entering the city and preventing the city from appearing so crowded.

However, even in the face of the refugee wave on the Velon continent, the various measures of Sateport Port still did not play much role. Just like on the main road of the city's apartment to the commercial area, some refugees waiting to recruit workers can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road. The originally spacious road was blocked by the crowded flow of people. The carriages were stopped six or seven times in just a short section of the road, and the time they stayed in place was even several times the driving time.

"They are all pitiful people." Perhaps seeing Leo's sight staying on the refugees for a while, Jason took the initiative to say: "The Municipal Council is considering stopping receiving these refugees, and there is a proposal to send them to the mainland of Mosan. Ms. Anne and Adeline are contacting the lord of Carlin County and asking him to accommodate these refugees. You also know that Carlin County is full of swamps and wastelands. No one in the Kingdom of Ingres is willing to open up land. If there are these refugees now, it can help the Kingdom of Ingres to add more land available and alleviate this refugee wave."

"Ms. Anne and the others are in Port Sate?" Leo asked.

"Yes." Jason nodded and said, "After Milia City was blown up, Ms. Anne left the Velone Continent. They now live in the Garden District, where there was originally a medical school property, but now it has been transferred to Ms. Anne. Ms. Anne and Adeline also work in Catherine's Nurses' College."

Leo noticed other information revealed in Jason's words and asked, "What's wrong with the medical school in the Kingdom of Ing?"

"The Kingdom Council believes that the great plague in Miriah City is related to the Medical College, and has listed the Medical College as a list of organizations that need monitoring, confiscating all facilities and industries of the Medical College in the Kingdom of Ing. Jason also showed a serious expression on his face, saying: "I heard that some strange things were found in the facilities of some medical colleges, and there are many corpses. There is evidence that these corpses were some missing homeless people in the past. Anyway, the Medical College has become infamous in the Kingdom of Ing. Ms. Anne has also withdrawn from the Medical College and is preparing to discuss with the Kingdom Government to establish a local medical college in the Kingdom of Ing.

"It seems that Ms. Anne has a lot of ambitions!" Leo smiled and said.

There is no doubt that if the Kingdom of Ingres Medical College was really established, with Ms. Anne's reputation and efforts to promote this matter, the first president of the Kingdom of Ingres Medical College would naturally be Anne.

However, in Leo's opinion, the chances of this matter success may not be great, because there is already a medical research association within the Royal College of the Kingdom of Ing. Although this medical research association is only a secondary society of the Royal College and does not have many members, the members here are all doctors trained in the Kingdom of Ing. With the xenophobicity of the Kingdom of Ing. They will definitely not want an outsider to establish the Kingdom Medical College, and then another outsider becomes the dean.

Therefore, the most likely thing is to reorganize this Medical Research Association and gradually turn this small academic college club into a Kingdom Medical College.

After passing three squares, a large number of patrols began to appear on the road, and the surrounding refugees began to decrease. After passing a temporary wall, refugees completely disappeared from the streets. The surrounding houses were no longer buildings of more than ten stories high, but became the most common red brick apartment in the Kingdom of Ing. Each apartment was a shop underneath, and many well-dressed people were in and out of the shops. This scene was in sharp contrast to hundreds of meters away.

Jason explained at this time: "This is a temporary arrangement made by the Municipal Council, which separates the commercial area into two parts, restricts refugees from entering commercial areas, municipal areas, garden areas and other urban areas. Any refugees who enter here without a pass will be arrested immediately, either they will be deported to the continent of Viron or sent to mine. This is also a last resort, because when the refugee wave is at its most chaotic, the city's public security was extremely bad, and even municipal councillors were robbed by refugees. Therefore, except for those unscrupulous factory owners who like to hire people at low prices, the residents of other Sate Port have no good feelings for them."

"Why don't they go back to the Velone?" Leo frowned and asked, "As far as I know, the Flan Empire and the Flan United Kingdom have temporarily truce. They should be better off when they return to the Velone."

Jason shook his head and said, "You said it was a temporary truce. Who can guarantee that the war will not appear again in a short period of time? They must be thinking that if they return to Viron and the war begins again, it will probably be difficult to leave."

Leo looked at Jason with a little surprise and said with a smile: "Jason, you have changed a lot over the years. If you were the ones before, you wouldn't be able to say these words."

Jason smiled and wanted to scratch his head habitually, but seemed to think of something, and immediately put his hand down and said, "Lisa said that since a man has become a family, he must mature. He should think more about things and stop thinking about everything with his fists as before."

Leo was also happy for his friend when he saw that Jason could find a suitable partner.

After a half-circling in a square, the carriage turned into an alley and then stopped in front of a small apartment building on the back of a street shop.

After Jason got out of the carriage, he signaled Leo to wait for a while, and then walked to the shop in front. After a while, an appropriately dressed old man walked out of the shop with Jason, came to Leo, and saluted to Leo, "Welcome to home, sir, I am your housekeeper, Baroque Sanjas."

"Hello Sanjays." Leo nodded.

Then the old man took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, walked to the apartment building, opened the door, and led Leo and Jason in.

After entering the house, the old man directly took the two to the study room, then took out some documents from a secret safe in the study room, placed them on the coffee table in front of Leo, and said to Leo very formally: "These documents are all the current situation of your industry, the income over the years, and there are also some legal documents. If you have seen that there is no problem, you can sign these documents directly, and these legal documents can take effect immediately."

"Don't I just have an apartment and an office building?" Leo picked up the documents and looked at them, asking in confusion.

"Nelson and I felt that the office building was empty and empty, so we took the initiative to rent it out for you, and then bought several stores with rent, invested in some real estate, and have also gained some profit over the years." Jason explained: "In addition, this apartment actually contains the front shop. The front shop is a high-end watch shop. Nelson and I felt it was a pity to close it, so we let it continue to operate. Sanjas is the butler we found to be responsible for helping you manage the industry, and he is very responsible."

"Well, thank you!" Leo nodded, not saying much, but just quickly looked through the documents in his hand, then picked up the pen on the coffee table and signed the name after several legal documents. After closing all the documents, he handed them to Sanjays and said, "You have managed well in the past few years, and your salary will double in the future. I hope you can continue to manage these industries for me."

"Okay sir." Sanjays did not show too much joy for his salary double, and still looked calm, as if he was not the one who raised his salary. Then he placed some keys, including the safe, on the table, which all indicated what locks were opened, and then asked Leo and Jason if they needed something to drink, then walked out of the room and closed the door gently.

"How is it? Not bad!" Jason said with a smile: "This is the butler that Nelson and I hired for you. He used to be the butler of the Duke of Buckingham and assisted the Duke of Buckingham to manage some industries, so your small industries are very simple in his hands. To be honest, if it weren't for the butler specially selected for you, I might have already poached him a lot."
