Chapter 47: Deliberation
Leon buried himself in writing down the second batch of reception plans, and the number of people next time is expected to be about 100, but it will still be started after the construction of the dock is completed, and the lack of people is the biggest obstacle to the development of the town.

When it comes to development, a safe and stable environment is particularly important.
The general environment of the town itself is very good, there is no possibility of riots, even if the poor are introduced, a safe environment can be guaranteed, and if they have food and clothing, they will not make illegal moves, unless someone has ulterior motives to arrange people to come in.
The outside environment is safe at the moment. The creature suspected of being a dragon did not reappear on the night of the rainstorm, and it is estimated that it will be forgotten by the townspeople after a while, Leon does not dare to take it lightly, the precautions that should be taken are still to be done, who knows when it will come out, the unknown danger is always the most terrifying, because it will appear at a certain moment, and it is impossible to prevent it.
Secondly, the things that came out of the ground that Emma encountered, after her own investigation, found nothing extra except a large pit and broken branches around it, not even a single footprint, and it can be considered that there is no threat to the town at present.
In addition to these, then there is a potential possibility of artificial instability.
The Duke of White Mist City didn't reap the benefits this time, and he may have restrained himself on the bright side, but he didn't know what he was doing in secret, not to mention that with Peel, what they could do was definitely not easy to deal with. Leon has no way to stop them, he can only be careful when doing things, and don't get caught in someone else's trap.
Silas can sit in the position of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, his own strength is not weak, and in terms of trade in White Mist City, Leon is not worried. It's just that the next time you want to take in the poor, it won't go so well.
White Mist City is the closest city to the town, the next city is equivalent to three times the distance, and the scale is not as large as White Mist City, if you start from other cities, you will pay more but the gain may not be equal. If the White Mist City is blocked by the Earl, Leon will have to go to other cities to find opportunities.
There is another city in the southeast of the town, but at present, the only communication to the outside of the town is by water, and there is no land route to connect more cities, which hinders the town's connection with the outside world, but at the same time it also increases the difficulty of sending troops from other places to attack the town, and there are advantages and disadvantages at the same time.
Leon did not think of building a road to get out, and he had neither the strength nor the need. At present, the output of the town is completely sufficient by water, and compared with land transportation, the cost of water transportation is more cheap and labor-saving, these people and money are what the town needs to accumulate, and it will never be wasted if it can be optimized.
"Your Highness, you have now taken in a group of poor people, will there be a next batch?" Chris remembered a question. He saw that the dwelling on the other side of the lumberyard was new, and that it had almost enough people, but from the talk of the Knight of York, he knew that the prince needed more.
"Well, when the time comes, there will be the next batch. "Leon continues to write the plan, and he will not stop introducing the population as long as there is enough food.
Chris stopped the pen in his hand, the poor people in White Mist City are not all ordinary people, after the hardships of life, many people can no longer be called good people, but the word bad people seems to be inappropriate. But there are indeed heinous people among them, such as Shure, who pulled him to steal on the day he fled White Mist City. Chris didn't dare to say that he was a good person, but Shure was definitely a bad person in his heart, and such a person would definitely be a rat poop if he came to the town.
"What's the problem?" Leon noticed that Chris was stunned.
"Your Highness, I thank you very much, but there is something I need to tell you. Chris decided to tell his story, and although he didn't succeed in stealing that night, he had that idea, and even participated in it, and in the end, if it hadn't been for the temporary return of the clerk, I'm afraid he would have gone somewhere else and lived a guilty life.
Leon listened to Chris's words and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Your Highness, if you don't think a person like me is qualified to sit here, can I go to the mines?" Chris felt a little better when he said this, but the prince did not react, he was a little uneasy, not any nobleman would accept someone who had behaved like that.
"It doesn't matter, you can stay here. Leon didn't expect him to tell himself such a thing. As long as Chris doesn't say it, no one will ever know about it, and he's willing to risk his loss to come out openly, and Leon thinks such a person can be forgiven.
And Leon said that day that as long as anyone who comes to town and is willing to mend his life can be forgiven, and Chris is one of them, this sentence will take effect.
"Thank you, Your Highness. Chris breathed a sigh of relief, the situation just now was really torturous, and now that he had a definite answer, the whole person relaxed.
Chris is determined to settle down in the town, if only he can say anything, but now there are two people, and he can't always rent someone else's home, and if he wants to settle down, he can't do it without capital, so he needs this job.
"Were you going to steal Peel's stuff that day?" Leon heard an old acquaintance in his words.
"Yes, if he hadn't bought our business out of nowhere, I wouldn't have ended up in the slums. When Chris mentioned this person, the anger in his heart slowly grew, and if he succeeded in stealing that night, he comforted himself in his heart, and now he can't do it.
"So there are many people who have become paupers like you?" Leon thought was important news.
"There are seven or eight. In addition, people with a little capital either switch to other industries, or leave the White Mist City, and only people like me who are not familiar with life can not gain a foothold. "Chris said very helplessly, at that time, from the town to White Mist City, the capital on his body was used for business, and after being forcibly acquired, he suffered heavy losses, and if he left there, it is estimated that the situation will be even worse.
"And they're still in White Mist City?" Leon thought that these people could be recruited back first.
"Yes, I don't live far from them. "Chris, they had the money to buy the easternmost house, which was the best house in the slums, at least there were no cracks in the walls and no holes in the roof.
"Chris, I decided to give you a mission. "Lyon's desire to recruit people in large quantities may be hindered by the Count, and the town does not have so many houses, so it is only necessary to bring these few people back.
"Of course, but ......" Chris knew what the prince thought, but Shure had a lot of eyeliner over there, and as long as he appeared, he was afraid that he would not be able to come back alive.
"You don't have to go in person, you just have to write a letter. "Leon can't guarantee the safety of Chris's return, even if the knight of York goes with him, it will be difficult for one person to deal with so many outlaws, and if he is caught by the earl's men, the consequences will be even more serious.
