The Mysterious World Under Steampunk
Chapter 421: Refugee wave
"You did well!" Leo reached out and patted Jason's arm, looking at him with an exquisite gentleman's windbreaker and high-end pocket watch.
The spirit net swept over the other party, and I have to say that compared to Jason’s situation a few years ago, his giant clan bloodline has been stimulated to a certain extent. The most direct manifestation is that his body has become Taller and stronger.
"Haha!" Jason smirked twice, then said to his wife behind him, "Come on! Lisa, let me introduce you, this is what I often say about good comrades, good brothers, Leo!" "
"Hello, Leo." After Jason confirmed Leo's identity, the last trace of suspicion in Lisa's heart also dissipated. Following her husband's command to step forward and say hello to Leo, the tone was also very close.
"Hello." Leo nodded and said to Jason: "I should live in Port Sait for a while."
"This is great, Nielsen will be very happy," Jason was very sincerely pleased with Leo's decision. Then he seemed to remember something and hurriedly said: "Yes, your two properties are always the same now. It’s me and Nielsen who will take care of it. Now that you’re back, you can just exchange it for you.” Then, he led Leo out, and said, “Go, go to your apartment first. To refresh, I can use this time to find Nelson and tell him the news of your return."
Leo had no objection, followed Jason out of the office and out of the hotel, boarded a specially made carriage, and drove towards the city.
On the way, Jason talked about some of these years of experience and past events, while Leo listened, watching the scene of Port Sait outside, recalling the previous memories.
In Leo Dodd’s memory, Port Saite is extremely impressed, because this is the first big city he has seen, even if the memories of the past have become fragments of memory, memories related to Port Saite Still very deep.
If he didn’t join the army, Leo Dodd probably wouldn’t leave his hometown in this life, a barren village in the hinterland of the Inge Kingdom, and took over his father’s blacksmith shop to build some farm tools and other daily iron tools for the villagers. Marry a woman in the village, after this life.
However, Leo Dodd finally chose to go out and walked out of the village in a very cheap way, to see the outside world, and the first big city he saw was Port Saite.
Leo’s army went to the battlefield immediately after a full training. The original army was going to leave from the exclusive military port, but at that time there were not enough military ships, so some civilian ships were requisitioned, and some troops were taken from other port cities. Leaving, Leo’s troops were assigned to Port Sait, and even fortunately stationed here for two days, allowing Leo to visit the city.
In Leo’s current memory, he clearly remembered the scene when he and his comrades visited the Port of Sete, and even remembered the oaths made by each other’s bragging. It has to be said that the oaths made at that time had a real estate in Port of Sete , Becoming a city man, is now complete.
Just like other emerging big cities on the Weilun continent, the city buildings of Port Sait are also changing rapidly. Every day, old buildings are demolished, and more gorgeous new buildings are rebuilt every day.
Although Port Saite is one of the earliest port cities in the Kingdom of England, it has a history of hundreds of years, but with that tsunami and dungeons, the old buildings in the past of Port Saite were almost completely destroyed, and eventually they were not destroyed. All of them have been turned into ruins, which makes the rebuilt Port of Sete as full of new buildings as the emerging cities, without any sense of the old city.
For the city builders of Port Saite, they may also thank the original tsunami because the old Port Saite had no urban planning when it was built, and the entire city was built very messy and very dirty. The pattern of big cities.
For example, in the old city, for convenience, all the cities are built around the dock area, and they are mixed with each other. In addition, no sewers are built, and all kinds of dirt flow across the area, and the odor fills the entire city. The most popular commodity in Hong Kong is perfume.
The earthquake and tsunami completely destroyed the entire city, and Port Saite became a white canvas. City architects can draw scenes on this canvas as much as possible.
It’s just that the original city builders did not anticipate that the French Empire would split, the Velen continent would fall into various chaos, and a large number of refugees and refugees would flock to Port Sait. Inside, it has expanded several times, so the reserved land for urban expansion was already occupied. If it continues to expand, it will be built on the surrounding mountains.
For this reason, now the city’s dignitaries have to think of other methods, such as starting from urban architecture, using the high-rise construction method passed from the United States of America to increase some two or three-story apartment buildings to more than a dozen floors, and reduce the room area. , Leased to ordinary people at a low price, and then all the parks previously built in slums were canceled, converted into houses, and workers’ families were even moved to the factory area, workers’ exclusive residential houses and commercial streets were built, reducing workers’ entry. The odds of the city make the city less crowded.
However, even in the face of the refugee wave on the Weilun mainland, the various measures of Port Saite still have not played a big role. Just like the main road to the apartment in the commercial area, there are some people waiting for recruitment on both sides of the road. Refugees, the originally spacious roads were also blocked by crowded people. The carriage was stopped six or seven times in a short period of time, and the stay time in the place was even several times the driving time.
"They are all poor people." Perhaps after seeing Leo's sight on the refugees for a little longer, Jason said voluntarily: "The council is considering stopping receiving these refugees, and there are proposals to send them to Go to the mainland of Mosang. Ms. Anne and Adeline are contacting the Lord of Carlin County and asking him to host these refugees. You also know that Carlin County are all swamps and wastelands. No one in the Kingdom of England is willing to go to the wasteland. The words of some refugees can just help the Kingdom of England more land to be used, and can also ease this refugee wave."
"Ms. Annie, are they also at Port Said?" Leo asked.
"Yes." Jason nodded and said, "After Miriam City was flattened, Ms. Anne left Velun Continental. They now live in the Garden District, where there was a medical school property, but it has now been transferred. The household is under the name of Ms. Anne. Ms. Anne and Adeline also serve in Catherine’s College of Nursing."
Leo noticed the other information revealed in Jason's words and asked, "What happened to the medical school in the Kingdom of England?"
"The Kingdom Council believes that the great plague in Miria City is related to the medical school, and has listed the medical school as a list of organizations that need to be monitored, and confiscated all the facilities and industries of the medical school in the Kingdom of England." Jason's face He also showed a serious expression and said: "I heard that some strange things were found in the facilities of some medical schools, and there are still many corpses. There is evidence that these corpses are some missing homeless people in the past. Anyway, the medical school is now in Britain. The Kingdom of Georgia has become infamous, and Ms. Anne also withdrew from the medical school and is preparing to discuss with the Kingdom government to establish a local medical school in the Kingdom of England."
"It seems that Ms. Anne's ambitions are not small!" Leo said with a smile.
There is no doubt that if the Kingdom of England Medical College is really established, with the reputation of Ms. Anne and the efforts to promote this matter, the first Dean of the Kingdom College of Medicine is naturally none other than Anne.
However, in Leo’s view, the chance of success in this matter may not be great, because there is already a medical research society within the Royal College of the Kingdom of England. Although this medical research society is only a secondary society of the Royal College, there are not many members. But the members here are all doctors cultivated locally in the Kingdom of England. With the exclusion of the Kingdom of England, they will definitely not want an outsider to establish the Kingdom Medical School, and then an outsider becomes the dean.
Therefore, it is most likely that this medical research society will be reorganized to gradually transform this small academic college community into the Kingdom Medical College.
After passing through the three squares, a large number of patrols began to appear on the road, and the number of refugees around began to decrease. After passing through a temporarily constructed fence, the refugees completely disappeared from the street, and the surrounding houses were no longer a dozen floors. The tall building has become the most common red brick apartment in the Kingdom of England, and below each apartment is a shop. Many well-dressed people enter and exit the shop. This scene is hundreds of meters. There is a sharp contrast outside.
Jason explained at this time: "This is a temporary arrangement made by the municipal council to divide the commercial area into two parts and restrict refugees from entering the commercial area, municipal area, garden area and other urban areas. Any refugee who enters here without a pass will If you are arrested immediately, you will either be repatriated to the Weilun mainland or sent to a mine to mine. This is also a last resort, because the public security in the city is also extremely bad when the refugee wave is the most chaotic, and there are even municipalities. The robbers of parliamentarians were robbed by refugees, so these refugees, except those blackhearted factory owners who like to hire people at low prices, are not favored by other residents of Port Saite."
"Why don't they go back to the Velin continent?" Leo frowned and asked, "As far as I know, the French Empire and the French United Kingdom have temporarily ceased their war. They should return to the Velun continent better than they are now." "
Jason shook his head and said: "You also said that it is a temporary truce. Who can guarantee that the war will not reappear in a short period of time? They must be thinking that if they return to Velen, the war will start again. I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave."
Leo looked at Jason slightly and said with a smile: "Jason, you have changed a lot over the years, if you couldn't say these words before."
Jason smiled habitually and wanted to scratch her head, but she seemed to think of something, and immediately put her hand down, saying: "Lisa said that since a man has become a family, he will mature, and things need to be considered. , Don’t think about solving everything with fists like before."
Seeing Jason find a suitable partner, Leo was also happy for his friend.
After the carriage went halfway around a square, it turned into an alley and then stopped in front of an apartment building behind the street shop.
After Jason got off the carriage, he signaled Leo to wait, and then went to the front store. After a while, a well-dressed old man followed Jason out of the store and came to Leo. Salute to Leo: "Welcome home, sir, this is your butler Baroque Sanders."
"Hello. Sanders." 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 into it.
After entering the room, the old man directly led the two to the study, then took some documents from a dark box safe in the study, and placed them on the coffee table in front of Leo. The very official Zhao Leo said: "These documents are all yours. The current status of the industry under the name, and the income over the years, there are also some legal documents. If you have seen no problem, you can sign these documents directly, and these legal documents will take effect immediately."
"Don't I just have an apartment and an office building?" Leo asked, looking at the document, and wondering.
"Nielsen and I felt that the office building was empty and empty, so we managed to rent it out for you, then bought a few shops with rent, invested in some real estate, and gained some income over the years." Jason explained Tao: "In addition, this apartment actually contains the shop in front. The shop in front is a high-end watch shop. Nielsen and I feel that it is a pity to shut down ~www.readwn.com~ and let it continue to operate. We are looking for Sanjas. The housekeeper who came to help you manage the industry, he is very responsible."
"Well, thank you!" Leo nodded, didn't say much, but just quickly glanced at the documents in his hand, and then picked up the pen on the coffee table and signed the names behind several legal documents. After closing, I handed it to Sanjas and said, "You have managed very well in recent years, and your salary will double in the future. I hope you can continue to manage these industries for me."
"Good sir." Sanjas did not show too much joy in doubling his salary. He was still calm, as if the person who raised the salary was not him, and then he took some keys including the safe. On the table, the keys all indicated what locks were unlocked, followed by asking 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 Nielsen and I hired specifically for you. He used to be the butler of the Duke of Buckingham and helped the Duke of Buckingham manage some industries, so your small The industry is very simple in his hands. To be honest, if it is not a housekeeper specially selected for you, maybe I have already digged him away with a lot of money."
Leo didn't care about Jason's envy, but another thing, and asked: "Why did he leave the Duke of Buckingham?"
