Traveling with Workers

The ship that Bansheer and the workers boarded had sailed towards Dwipajaya. Bansheer ordered the soldiers to release the workers' legbands. Before

siddarth departs telling Bansheer, if they have arrived in the middle

the sea workers were freed and ordered to run the ship with the captain.

Bansheer sanctioned hearing Siddarth's message. In fact, most of them are forced laborers who were taken from the colonies. They could jump into the middle of the sea.

Their legs had been removed, and Bansheer ordered that their blinders not be removed and that their arms be tied together, lest they escape.

When the meal came, the workers were given cues by the soldiers so that they could eat in an orderly manner. After eating they were ordered to circle the ship room a hundred times. Bansheer ordered that the muscles and joints of the workers not stiff when they arrived in Dwipajaya.

After a long journey they finally arrived in Dwipajaya.

King Daneswara offered to have their entourage rest before leaving for Jiwang, an agreed land but Bansheer refused. Bansheer wanted his entourage to head immediately to Jiwang and rest there.

Without wasting any time, they immediately herded the workers towards Jiwang.

“We have set up camp, please you and your entourage rest” said King Daneswara to Bansheer.

Bansheer let the workers be governed by the Astapura warriors, while himself

look at the land that has been clean and grazed.

This barren land is on the plains

tall. The nearest water source is 10 miles from here. The twenty-five workers I brought in, weren't enough. I have to divide them to plant, irrigate, and,

and caring. Building a dam is impossible. The weather here is hot, the rainy season only occurs in the ninth month to the twelfth month. During the dry season if not properly danced, plants that have been planted will be in vain inner Bansheer while

Bansheer began to analyze the water systems suitable for the land. The location of the water source is in the lower plains of Jiwang. The idea of irrigating with the bamboo blade connection immediately Bansheer scribbled off the notes he and Siddarth had compiled. Bansheer also crossed out two dams they planned to build. What if the dam is replaced with a pond? Bansheer began to dream of his idea.

That night after all the workers were fed, their hand ties and blindfolds were removed. They looked around at a place that looked foreign.

“Where is this?” whisper them to each other.

They saw foreign faces guarding the place.

“At this time you are in Nusantara, precisely in the Kingdom of Dwipajaya. King Dwipajaya had married his son to Prince Siddarth and gifted a plot of land to Astapura. Now your job is to cultivate this land, so that it can be planted with sawija. After this land makes money, you will be paid. Each will get a hundred gold pieces” said Bansheer gave an announcement.

“Hundred pieces of gold?? One piece of it we can afford one acre of land and five slave”

“One hundred pieces we will be a money god” Whisper fellow

workers with sparkling eyes.

“Master how about our family?” ask one of the workers.

“Do not worry, we guarantee your family. They will not starve” said

Bansheer again.

The workers rejoice they cannot wait for the wages they will get.
