The port of Randall is not a culturally based port, and there are only two schools in such a large city, one is the Poseidon Church church and the other is the seamen's school established by the local government.

The inhabitants of the port would send their children to the church school to learn how to write, and once they knew how to read, they would send them to the seafarers' school to learn how to be a qualified sailor, and nearly three-quarters of the population of the port of Landall were sailors and seafarers.

For sailors and seafarers, the best place to go home from a trip to sea is definitely not a cultural place, the tavern is their greatest concern for the port, so there are thousands of large and small taverns in the whole port, and there are countless liquor sellers selling moonshine on the streets.

Compared with the thriving liquor industry in the port, there are very few places related to books in the whole port city, except for the collection of classics that every church has for free for believers to borrow, there is only one bookstore that sells all kinds of books in the real sense, and there is only one public library, and it was established decades ago because of the policy requirements of the empire, and the house used is an old apartment donated by a wealthy merchant in the port, which has not been renovated for decades, so that Leo was a little skeptical when he first saw this library whether it could survive this year。

"I'm going to the city government archives?" Leo frowned and turned to the driver to ask.

"My lord, this is the archives of the city government. The squire sent by Sylvia hurriedly replied, "The original archives were split up a few years ago, and the archives related to maritime affairs were sent to the Seamen's College, the archives related to the church were sent to the church, the archives related to administration were sent to the city government, and the remaining archives were sent to the library for preservation. You have a note from your host and you can view the archives of the library, the seafarers' college, and the municipality, but you may need permission from the church to view the archives sent to the church. ”

Leo didn't say anything, but walked straight into the library, showed the librarian Sylvia's slip, and then was led to a room full of clutter, covered with a thick layer of dust, and emitting a musty smell.

"All the files are in here, and when they were sent a few years ago, they were not organized, mainly because of the lack of manpower, and then every month new files were sent in, and I piled them all on top. The administrator looked at Leo worriedly and explained, "If you need someone to tidy up, I can call some, but you may need to pay extra money." ”

"Go down! I'll stay here for a while. Leo didn't intend to sort through the files, so he instructed the administrator, and after the other party closed the door, he used the spirit net to start scanning the archives.

After mastering the correct psionic skills, the spiritual network not only expanded the coverage area many times, but even in terms of fineness, the ink handwriting on the paper can be easily scanned, and even if the paper is moldy, it can be easily cleaned out of the mildew by comparing the different components, and the pile of moldy archival documents in the entire room took less than three minutes to be thoroughly scanned into the original data by the spiritual network and included in Leo's database.

What Leo did in the room afterwards was to sort through the messy archives, which took Leo more than an hour.

As the attendants explained, there were no administrative decrees, no navigation-related documents, and no religious documents at all, and the most of these documents were records of births and deaths.

These boring data files may be considered useless in the eyes of ordinary people and will not be memorized, but Leo thinks that these data files should be used in the future, so they are seriously included in the database.

After scanning and sorting through the files, Leo turned and opened the door and walked out, took out a tip and handed it to the caretaker waiting at the door, and left the library.

The librarian looked at the tip in his hand, a satisfied smile on his face, and after stuffing it into his pocket, he stepped forward to close the door of the archive, but when he closed the door, he looked at the miscellaneous items in the room without any traces of transportation, and couldn't help but wonder what Leo had been doing during that time.

After leaving the library, Leo sent the carriage to the archives of the town hall and the archives of the Seamen's College, which were obviously more strictly inspected than the library, but with Sylvia's rules to open the way, he did not encounter any deliberate troubles.

However, it is clear that the people here seem to be very hostile to the Inge people, and after knowing Leo's identity, although they did not embarrass Leo, they did not take the initiative to help Leo.

This situation has long been expected by Leo, as the Kingdom of England establishes maritime supremacy, fishing port cities like Randall that operate marine fisheries will naturally be greatly affected, and the conflict between the fishing boats of Landauer and the ships of the Kingdom of England is also increasing day by day, and the hostility to the Kingdom of Inge is permeated throughout the port of Landall.

It is for this reason that Sylvia said those words when she handed the issued note to Leo, because in her opinion, it was certain that Leo would be troubled in the city, and the only difference was that the degree of trouble was different.

However, Sylvia obviously underestimated her influence, if it weren't for Sylvia, Leo who came to Randall alone might have encountered the kind of difficulties she expected, and might even do it, but because of Sylvia's relationship, even if the people here don't have a good impression of Leo, an English person, they can still stay sane and do business, and don't let their emotions influence their behavior.

Although the process was a bit tortuous, the results were still good, and neither archive deliberately hid any documents, which Leo quickly included in his own database.

The only complete file on Port Randall is now the Poseidon Church, and even without the Poseidon Church, Leo can analyze something from the existing archival data.

As he had thought at first, the library's archives of population data were very useful, and by graphing the data and pasting them on tables by year of the events that affected the entire port, recorded by other files, many of the things hidden in the complex data files were very prominently displayed in front of him.

The data here is incomplete, and this incompleteness is not artificially incomplete, but because in the past the port of Landall had not established a habit of recording data.

Of all the data files, the earliest data file is that hundreds of years ago, Randall had been transformed from a small fishing village into a small harbor, when the Poseidon Church had established itself in Randall Port.

Later population data shows that there have been three big bangs of population growth in the port of Landauer, the first of which was because of a religious ceremony held by the Poseidon Church at Wanghai Cliff, the name and function of this religious ceremony are not recorded, but after this ceremony, the population growth of Landauer doubled every year for ten years, and a large number of immigrants moved in during this time.

By the time the population curve stabilized, the total population of the port of Landauer had reached 300,000, which was already a large city in the French Empire at that time.

After that, it was the establishment of the lighthouse on the cliff of Wanghai, after the lighthouse was established, it was also a religious ceremony of the Poseidon Church, and then the population of Port Landall skyrocketed to 800,000 in the first year, and continued to grow for the next two years, until the population reached about 1.5 million, and then it calmed down.

You must know that the population of more than one million people was a few hundred years ago, when even the largest city, the population of the French Imperial Capital was just over one million, but the population of such a small harbor city reached about 1.5 million, which will definitely shock the world.

It's just that I don't know if the port of Landall is not important in a knightly empire like the French Empire, or if the Poseidon Church is very successful in concealing it, all in all, according to Leo's understanding, there is absolutely no big news that the population of the port of Landall has reached 1.5 million in the records of various major events in the French Empire at that time.

The third population explosion was built at Castle Black, which was also a religious ceremony, and in the following four years, the population of Port Randall had grown to almost three million.

If the population figures seen by Leo were not falsified, then Port Randall would have been the most populous city in the world at that time.

Later, the population data appeared for the first time on the entire curve curve, and from the perspective of time, it should be the period when the Rose family crossed the sea to establish the Kingdom of England, and the English royal family at that time must have been entangled by many residents of Port Landall.

Judging from this data information, Leo feels that the Ingore royal family's claim to be the son of Poseidon may not be an unfounded boast, because according to the population estimate, the population of the Inge Islands that was coerced and crossed the sea in the port of Landall at that time was far more than the people led by the Inge royal family at that time, and there is also a true God church like the Poseidon Church in the port of Randall, if you want to stop it, the Inge royal family will definitely not take away so many people.

Then the only explanation that can be explained is that the royal family of England is indeed the son of Poseidon as they say, and the Poseidon Church has to acquiesce to their behavior of coercing the population, and those who are taken away are also devout Poseidon believers.

However, the impact of the British royal family's behavior of taking away a large number of people on the port of Landall seems to be more than just a decrease in population, judging from the subsequent data records, the population of the port of Landall is in a downward trend year by year, and soon fell below the threshold of one million people, and during the great plague period, the population was only more than 300,000, like now the population has returned to 500,000 has been the result of years of recuperation.

From these demographic data, Leo also found that Randall would hate and dislike the Kingdom of England so much, not only after the Kingdom of England became the overlord of the sea, but I am afraid that the Kingdom of England took away so many Landauers back then was also one of them.

Because since the removal of more than one million Randallers, the population of Randall has never returned to its peak back then, and even worsened, so as long as you know a little about the history and population data of that year, you will definitely hate the English royal family.

In addition to the demographic changes that made Leo feel the role of the Poseidon Church in this matter, Leo also found a suspicious point from the death data, that is, the final combined values of the dead population, the birth population and the basic population did not match the values on the data, and there was a difference of 347 people.

It's just a few times that this value doesn't match, after all, everyone makes mistakes sometimes, but the problem is that the population count of each year is different from the value calculated by Leo except for the records, and the strange thing is that all the differences are about the same, between three hundred and forty-five and three hundred and fifty.

That is, every year in the port of Landall, more than 340 people die in unknown terms.

With this discovery, Leo felt that the part of the information taken by the Poseidon Church might hide the answers to these questions, but he did not rush to the Poseidon Church to ask for the archives, but told the coachman to go back to the Black Castle.

Although, he didn't understand what the Poseidon Church was going to hide, but he knew that since the Poseidon Church wanted to hide these things, then he definitely didn't want anyone to investigate, if he went directly to ask for information like this, the Poseidon Church would definitely not agree, and he didn't have the idea of turning his face with the Poseidon Church, so it was most appropriate to hand it over to Sylvia, Lord Landall, at this time.

After Leo returned to the castle, Sylvia had not yet finished dealing with today's official documents, and when she saw Leo walk in, she looked at Leo with some surprise and asked, "Is everything going well so soon?"

"It went well, and when I accessed the files, I didn't provide any help, but I didn't cause any trouble. Leo handed his coat to the servant, then motioned for the servant in the room to go out, and then told Sylvia the results of his investigation.

After hearing this, Sylvia had a puzzled look on her face and muttered to herself, "Three hundred and forty-six, where do I think I've seen this number?"

As she spoke, Sylvia stood up and walked over to the decorative bookcase at her desk, and looked at the beautifully decorated books on it that she had never looked through.

Then, I saw her pick out one of the books, flip through it quickly, and soon found what she was looking for, and said, "I know where I saw this number, it turned out to be it." ”

With that, she handed Leo the book she had spread out in her hand, and pointed her finger at the number three hundred and forty-six she had found.
