"It can't be helped. We'll have to deal with this soon anyway. Fortunately, the Carmas area is only a stone's throw away, so I'll go straight to the site and build an apartment.

For the time being, we'll send food for the migrants we've housed. We have a stockpile of food for earthquakes and other disasters, so we can transport some of it and serve it to them.

"A soup kitchen? Even if that is the best we can do for the time being, we can't keep providing food just for the migrants forever, can we?

"I know that, Leon. Well, let's distribute the migrants as we see fit. Those with ties to the nobility or knightly class of the Kingdom of Fontana should go near them, and those with money should be sent here to the city of Fontana."

"Yes, that's right. But aren't the majority of them just peasants who don't have money?"

"Yes. Then we can send them to the newly discovered iron mines in my brother Byte's territory, and maybe to Vargas, where he is expanding his farmland with a little bit of river construction. I still don't think that's enough though. ......"

Yes. I feel that the current situation in Fontana is that the immigrants need a place to live, but they also need jobs, right? Now, in this city, you can get a job in the construction of the new castle and the great church of Fontana. It is not expensive, but with daily manual labor you should be able to earn enough for a family to live on."

"Yes, but you said that the number of immigrants coming now might be too large to be covered by the building crews. Since it's not enough at all, we're going to have to somehow distribute them to different places in the Kingdom of Fontana, aren't we?"

"Yes. Yes, but creating jobs through large-scale construction is not a bad idea. The river construction in the Arbalest area, for example, is a part of it. So, how about adding one more construction project?

"You mean public works projects like river construction? Well, that doesn't sound so bad, but what would you have them do? The only job that I can think of that any migrant could do would be manual labor."

"Yes. Fontana is an independent kingdom, but it is only a territorial matter. Master Ars wants to bring the young men together through conscription to promote unity, but it will take time to achieve this. That is why we are building a royal tomb."

"Yes. The late Carlos, the previous head of the family, was the head of the noble family of Fontana. But he is the founder of the Kingdom of Fontana. That's right. From now on, how about calling Carlos the founder of the Kingdom of Fontana? And to put to rest the death of the founder who worked so hard for the establishment of the Kingdom of Fontana, and to watch over this Kingdom of Fontana forever, we will build a royal tomb."

"That's right. It is a good way to win people's hearts and give them jobs. The only problem is that it requires money to build.

 We have had a good funeral for Carlos, and we have acted to preserve his name for posterity, even to the point of naming a drink after him.

 And it might be nice to call him the Grandfather King.

 Carlos fought and died for King Dorren and worked dangerously to establish his kingdom.

 This was not my own decision, but the Fontana family's way of conducting funeral rites.

 It is said to mean that the Fontana family sends off the dead with their higher magic, and I was the only one who could use higher magic instead of Garod, who was still a young boy at the time.

 So Fontana decided to build a tomb of the royal family of Fontana as one of the measures against emigration.

 With tens of thousands of immigrants pouring into the city, a rather large public works project was started to absorb them.
