Both believe the amount Asrul offered was also difficult to meet the needs of the city of Mallorca alone because it asked him not to be sold out.
"My daily estimate is that I can provide several hundred Ginseng for at least ten to fifteen years." Asrul said the number after hearing the two agreed at his request.
"Hundreds?!"
"Every day?!"
Yanti and Anita both almost jumped off the seat when they heard it.
"Young Master Asrul... It's..." Yanti and Anita show anxiety.
The youngest ginseng to be harvested is around a hundred years old with prices ranging from 80 to a hundred gold pieces. Suppose all the ginsengs harvested were a hundred years old and Asrul sold them at the lowest price of 70 gold pieces per ginseng, one hundred ginsengs a day would be worth seven thousand gold pieces.
Asrul dared to say several hundred so at least the Bible Association had to disburse funds of about ten thousand gold pieces per day to buy all the crops. Although Ginseng has many enthusiasts, they do not need that much, rather they will not be able to sell everything if only rely on Mallorca city market.
"Ginseng is indeed good for developing the younger generation but there will not be many people who are willing to buy it in large quantities. The need for other resources must also have affected his sales." Yanti explained.
"I understand that, if so I will give time to the association to build the market, this matter will be discussed again after I return to Siguntang Hill." Asrul nodded slowly.
Yanti looks worried, she realizes it is difficult for them even to become the sole distributor of Ginseng but she is not willing if she finally can not take part in this business. Ginseng is very valuable, if Asrul agrees to spread its sales to the city of Sekayu, Yanti will not be afraid not to get a buyer.
"Not to worry, I'm not in a hurry. We'll find the best solution and benefit both sides." Asrul has absolutely no intention of choosing another group to buy Ginseng, he has a strong reason to do that but Yanti and Anita do not know about it.
"Asrul! Where have you been?! You realize people haven't been looking for you since!"
Asrul was shocked when he found Taymiyyah running towards him when he had just entered the residence of Mbah Jena.
About an hour ago they realized Asrul was completely invisible, Gus Mukhlas went into his room and did not find Asrul there. Taimiyah and Gus Mukhlas became worried, they asked some people to look for him but Asrul was not found at all, this made many people panic.
Everyone involved in the battle overnight learns that Asrul's role is so great especially after it is revealed Asrul is releasing silver-colored fireworks that make the arrival of reinforcements. Many people leave the work they are doing to help find it. When a servant saw Asrul walking leisurely towards Mbah Jena's residence, the servant informed Taymiyyah.
"Chairman, I went looking for a cure. I brought healing pills that could help those in critical condition." Asrul handed him a fairly large wooden crate that he carried.
Taimiyah sighed, she smiled faintly then reminded Asrul to inform her if she wanted to leave the palace like now.
In the evening Taymiyyah came to her room, saying she wanted to discuss something about resources.
"Bah Jena asked me to stay in Mallorca to be in touch with the resource provider after she was appointed governor of Mallorca in a month, I think it's time she found out the truth. How are your plans related to this?" Taimiyah did not explain at length because she believed Asrul had intelligence and understood the ongoing situation, especially Mbah Jena desperately needed the support of the three strongest groups to stabilize his position.
Asrul explained his intention to bring together Mbah Jena with resource providers so that Bukit Siguntang is no longer involved in this business.
Taymiyyah raised her eyebrows, she certainly hoped to stay involved and take advantage of this transaction, because she was considered a liaison, Mbah Jena always gave her the best resources. Suppose Mbah Jena could be in direct contact with the resource provider then it is likely that the best resources will be sent to the three strongest groups of white flow.
"If I don't do it one day this resource provider will contact Mbah Jena and make a direct transaction on him, before that happens wouldn't it be better for us to let go? At least it will make Mbah Jena who will soon become the governor of Mallorca indebted to Bukit Siguntang."
Asrul's explanation was acceptable to Taymiyyah, only that the old man wanted the advantage to develop the Hill of Siguntang.
"The problem of profit, I have also prepared a solution for the financial condition of Bukit Siguntang." Asrul took out the Ginseng and explained that he wanted Siguntang Hill to harvest this ginseng and sell it to a group he had selected.
"I'll tell you the location but instead, I want 10% of the harvest as my training resource." Asrul.
Taymiyyah put on the widest smile she could do, Asrul's request instantly she fulfilled without a second thought. When he learned the location of his gold mine turned out to be in the backyard of his own sect, Taymiyyah almost swore loudly.
"That's why I found you on the banks of the Thousand Miles River? You're harvesting ginseng?"
Asrul nodded softly while smiling awkwardly, Anita wanted to pinch her cheek for hiding information as important as this for several years. It was just that Taymiyyah appreciated Asrul's actions and fulfilled all his promises.
"No need to worry, as promised ten percent of the crop will be yours." Taymiyyah patted Asrul's shoulder.
Taimiyah said it would take several days until the situation was calmer then she would invite Mbah Jena to meet Asrul related to resource issues.
Asrul did not interfere with the matter of Mbah Jena residence or the palace, for the next few days Asrul did not leave his room and continued to practice Aura Tasawwuf, he asked Taymiyyah to make sure no one visited him. Asrul learns Zeni and several others are trying to get close to Asrul after seeing his abilities and potential in that night of fighting.
One night Taimiyah brought Mbah Jena to meet Asrul in her room, Mbah Jena was very surprised to learn that Asrul was actually a link to the origin of the resources he bought.
"Asrul, you don't stop surprising me. Brother Gus Mukhlas doesn't even know this?" Mbah Jena smiled awkwardly when she heard the full story.
