Building Civilizations on Primitive Planets
33. Tiger Offensive

After the reception of Prince Juki of Faranina. Udin drove the group in wooden huts that 2 today called the manufacture by 200 people. In 2 working days alone has been completed more than 40 new wooden huts in the position of the construction plan will be on the outside of the main fort and surround the main fort.

The development team was indeed asked to complete the soldier barracks which in the meantime became temporary residence for residents. Before then build the central fortress of government and then the settlement of the community.

Juki then negotiates with Udin to be able to immediately mine the promised gold.

“Mr Udin, all residents here have received work assignments to build Alamut. The slaves and soldiers who came from Faranina were already itching for work. We are ready to mine the hill you showed from the eyes of the drone earlier,” nego Juki.

“From your arrival, actually I have thought about it. But in the meantime Alamut's decision can only be finalized by Padishah. Just rest this afternoon prince, tomorrow you will get news and decisions Padishah,” said Udin who then say goodbye to leave Juki.

Juki and her 51 escorts were stationed at 4 cottages. Johnny and 7 former Samiam Soldiers live in 1 hut next to Faranina's cabin. While 50 slaves were carried tied up in the remaining sea spruce beside the estuary.

Upon his return to Rihlah Udin immediately discussed with Zayn.

“Zayn, what are the plans for the Faranina people do you think, can we have them mine gold” asked Udin.

“So like this Din, is it true that there is gold on the hill, we have never surveyed it loh.. actually this is what I fear from the original habit of your lakmu,” said Zayn worried.

“It is likely so, if you see there is a deposit of gold grains in the mud of the mouth. So if not from the avalanche of hill cliffs on the banks of the river 15an km to the north we mean out with springs at the foot of the volcano thirty km to the north,” Udin replied.

"Then if you don't see how, your mouth harimaumu loh Din, said Zayn.

"Trust me, Zayn, if I don't meet on the hill, believe me I can make them believe gold really exists elsewhere, now than you are dizzy things that need not be thought of let's discuss the division of gold only. Trouble finding mine leave it to me," Udin said confidently.

“Duh.. you sometimes, so whatever wherever it is first we have to ascertain how the concession proportions. I think using Indonesian standards is yes..,” said Zayn.

“So the foreign entity in this case has a maximum share of 49 percent, 51 percent of it must be an entity in Alamut. This 51 percent we can divide by proportion, Faranina's work unit in Alamut 17 percent, Johnny is 17 percent and we are 17 percent. It was after tax and profit sharing” added Zayn.

“Do not protest first if Johnny gets a big part, let it first. He still has a debt of 995,000 gold coins to us later we take first from the ration mining at the beginning. Then before the dividend distribution and after tax deduction. The Alamut government still has 10 percent rights over the remaining after-tax mining output where 1 percent is for the welfare of the local government at the mine site, 2.5 percent is for other cities, he said, 2.5 Percent for the provincial government in this case our society is outside the core fort and 4 percent for the central government which will later tone inside the core fort. So later the government will cite a tax of 25 percent of the mine net proceeds. Once taxable we get 10 percent for government revenue share. Then after that we get a dividend of 17 percent as the central government's share allotment. So for example in a month we mine 1 ton of gold has been reduced the cost of work then, we get a tax of 250 kg, he said, then the total revenue share to be distributed is 10 percent of the remaining 750 kg or that means 75 kg, the remaining 675 kg and our dividend of 17 percent is about 114 kg more. With taxes and revenue sharing already almost 50 percent right value.” Answer Zayn.

“My dadishah is indeed smart, tomorrow we have to force this deal with Juki and Johnny to succeed. What about worker rights? They also definitely get a salary, right,” asked Udin.

“Saws and operations do not enter tax calculations and before distribution after the mining results are tax deducted. We will pay each worker the lowest level with 3 gold coins every 2 full or per month. I think we should immediately make the Alamut calendar in the new year so that it is easy. Then our middle-level workers pay 4 gold coins at the same time and the top-level workers 5 gold coins, leaders, consultants and commissioners get 6 gold coins. Small for those officials who usually easily get thousands of pieces per month from utilizing his position, but this value is in accordance with the lives of the common people here. Payments outside the meal allowance will be provided by the company through services paid to our government or private providers. For consultants and commissioners get a meal allowance for 2 times the community or 180 copper coins per month, worth 1.8 gold coins,” Zayn replied.

“So we will show to the People the disparity of our income is not as conspicuous as the kingdom, its officials and its people in Suleka. The consultants will be filled both of us, and the commissioners can be Johnny and Juki. The workers and leaders are up, said Juki who became an investor”, Zayn replied.

“Lantas how are the slaves?” ask Udin.

“Slaves are not paid cash and only get alimony to eat until they can afford their freedom. The wages of the slave are the same as that of the free man and are kept to redeem his freedom. To eat they get the same allowance. The slaves will be free after paying freedom for 1000 gold coins or 25 years of work, I think that's fair enough. It could be that they will be independent faster if there is State favor and a bonus from the company to add to their ransom deposit.” Zayn.

“Interesting tomorrow morning we will meet them discussing this. So what about the tiger and which one of us is going to control the mine? Ask Udin.

“I set the capital. You, Johnny and Juki and his soldiers and slaves will go to the mine with some of our weapons. Juki brought a lot of carrier pigeons that we can use for communication. If we can develop metallurgical technology, then we can set up some transmitter towers for smartphone communication on this planet which amounted to only 2 seeds. Dona, Doni, Anggi, Roni, Leman and Tunggul Wulung I will ask you to escort your journey to depart and maybe return with some dignitaries. Dona and Doni will carry a gun, you and Anggi will bring AR 15 for security,” replied Zayn.

“Well we go through the night to sleep, after morning worship we meet Juki and Friends. While I was away mining, Rihlah and Alamut became your responsibility alone with 2 shotguns and 2 RPGs. Good night don't forget to pray for a beautiful dream,” Udin said.

A few moments after the sun came up the next day.

“Good, I agree with the way of work and profit sharing. My company here will be led by Kipli, for the head of operations will be led by Tono and some people from among the soldiers who have the capacity. The shares owned by my entity in Alamut I think will be useful if used for the war financing of the conquest of Ferris Indah which will be supplied weapons and other money. Then what are you waiting for, didn't you guys just say the distance to the hill about 12 incense walking trip, let's start our journey,” said Juki excitedly.

“Alright I will go to Rihlah first to take some important things,” said Udin who then walked to Rihlah accompanied by Zayn.

“What are the important things that you will bring besides Din's weapon,” asked Zayn to Udin when he arrived at Rihlah while helping him prepare.

“Lights, matches, wok for gold panning, weapons, and most importantly the magnets I keep, hehe. We need to separate the gold from the impurity metal with a magnet. After this I will also take a smartphone from Rena to document some things that will be encountered,” replied Udin.

“Yahh woknya brought, how can I make fried rice and cook big later, it's up to you,” said Zayn.

After completing the preparations, 107 people set out for the hill which was then named by Zayn as the hill of Timbuktu to mine gold leaving the settlement in Alamut which for some time.

The trip really takes 12 incense sticks or 4 hours of walking. At the foot of the hill it was decided people would roll out tents, while some people including Udin checked the remaining load of avalanches on the river bank.

Udin panned the remaining material of the avalanche of hills on the riverbank on the flow of the Tabuan Lasi River and proved that the hill had gold content.

“Excellent sir, even from 1 rebar alone gets that much gold granules,” said Juki who several times saw the gold mining process in his country.

“Then how do we spend the gold on a hill of this size in your opinion,” asked Juki.

“First we will make a flow canal to the west side of the hill that to accelerate the flow we will make a waterwheel from wood that you can make by using the instructions that have been written, we will make a waterwheel from the wood, after passing through the rebar area later we filter again at the end to maximize. This canal in addition to being our drinking water source, also as a means to gain gold. The river flow in the south of us is also a bit sloping to the west, well from the sidelines of the canal, we will return the flow to the main flow of the river, ” replied Udin.

“You have not explained how it works Wazir Akbar,” Johnny turn to ask.

“So we will make a picket schedule working mining 5 times a week, working other things mainly repair and development 1 time a week and holiday 1 time a week. To avoid corruption, settlements will be made some distance from the job site. Every worker goes in and out in his physical check. On holidays they can gain independence in the river but with the results must be reported and submitted to the company to be recorded as property owned. No one should carry gold freely out of the hill of Timbuktu,” replied Udin.

“Details of workers 5/7 people will work every day specifically mining in addition to foremen, leaders and consultants who do not have special holidays and work tend to be administrative and managerial rather than technical. This means that 65 people work every day, 13 people do other things and 13 people are off, 16 People including the bodyguards I brought and the two Princes here and the leaders and foremen do not have special working hours like 91 others.” Udin added.

“Details of work 13 people work to dismantle the hill from west to east starting from the top, 13 others bring the hill material to the location of the homecoming, 13 people will work gold panning in the canal, and the, 13 People will work on processing gold, 13 others will be the location security as well as the helper team if there is something to help,” explained Udin.

“Production targets see the potential of gold here, then I target we will get a size that can make 112,000 pieces of gold in a day. In a year we have obtained gold worth 41 times the wealth claimed Johhny today, and maybe this hill with this much energy will not be mined until each of us dies later if we use this much energy alone. How long John did you collect that much gold?” ask Udin.

“I didn't expect that much we could get a year. My wealth comes from the capital given by my father as much as 500,000 pieces at the age of 15 and I doubled it 2 times in 8 years. This means that every year for 8 years my wealth increased by 67,500 pieces from the commodity and slave trade. Hearing the mines from you makes me more convinced of the glory of Alamut" replied Johnny.

“Effective work, let's wait what else let's make a canal and make a tool to filter the remaining water that passes through the reinforcement,” said Juki.

All day the workers decided to work on the canal and make a windmill. In this work Udin also brought a chainsaw to cut down trees faster. The rock miners on the hill led by Andi Keling could only bite his saw finger taken by Udin.

“Master look at the example of the land on the canal excavation that I brought, it contains gold,” said Kipli to amaze everyone including Udin who just hid his expression.

“Stay we will mine with the term I call open pit from the summit, although in this area to the depth of the ground still contains gold. That's why I say until we die, the gold in Timbuktu will not run out. After the water flows, all workers other than those who get a holiday lottery and other job lottery tomorrow we focus on panning the excavation land from the canal first,”, Udin said with a calm face.

“Haum,” earthy roar from the west of the hill. “Mr slaves resting in tents were attacked by tigers,” said Senopati Tono.
