Visiting Refugee Camps
Ghozi looked at Heru Cokro with a pair of adoring eyes, nodded his head and said: “You have guessed it right again, Your Majesty. Because there is no grain or agricultural equipment. They cannot grow their own crops. Campsites could only rely on food supplies from hunting and fishing. So that their food sources are not very promising, and often only consume vegetables and wild grass.”
“In addition, since the maharaja players built their territory in the wilderness, the number of wild beasts has decreased drastically. This will make their lives even more difficult. Looks like they have reached their limit and almost turned themselves into robbers for survival.”
Heru Cokro nodded, smiled and said: “For us, this means opportunity. It is inhumane to say so, but if we can absorb the refugee camps into our territory, it will save us time.”
“It is an honor and a blessing for them to be part of Jawa Dwipa, Paduka need not feel sad.” Ghozi smiled as well. Ever since he took the crash course class at the Kadewaguruan Academy, his speech had improved tremendously. Looks like the course was quite successful.
"Did the Military Intelligence Division approach Raden Said?" Shuo asked.
“Yes, I spoke briefly with him, and introduced briefly about Jawa Dwipa, as well as your kind treatment of talent. From what I saw from him, he was quite moved, yet since he was the leader of the camp, he was quite reluctant to be the first to open his mouth.” Ghozi smile.
"Good, then I'll visit him personally." Heru Cokro said after understanding the situation.
Travel to refugee camps is meant to bring peace, not war. It is therefore not wise to bring an army with him. So Heru Cokro only brought one squad from the Military Intelligence Division, plus the first cavalry company.
At 3pm, Heru Cokro and his troops stood in front of the refugee camp. The entire camp was one square kilometer in size, protected by a wooden fence. Two outposts stood upright beside the main gate with two guards on each. As they looked at Heru Cokro, they were nervous and one of them shouted: "Call yourself an intruder!"
"I am the Ruler of Java Dwipa, please convey this message to your leader!" Heru Cokro who was riding on Tetsu's back replied loudly.
The guard was surprised and remembered the leader's words this morning, and immediately replied: "Please master wait a while, I will immediately convey it to the leader."
"Thank you!" Heru Cokro ordered everyone to come down and wait patiently in front of the entrance gate.
After 10 minutes, a young scholar walked out of the camp. He has a slender stature with broad shoulders. Despite having a pale face, he had a pair of sharp eyes and wore rough clothes. Behind him followed dozens of teenage and old men, all of them dressed roughly and they also had pale and pale faces.
Even before he reached Heru Cokro, he had already opened his mouth: "Master visit us, welcome!"
Heru Cokro looked at Ghozi, to ask if the scholar was the leader of Raden Said. Ghozi slightly nodded his head, confirming the identity of the scholar. Heru Cokro then smiled and replied: "Sorry for this sudden visit, I hope you will forgive me."
As the refugees behind Raden Said looked at the well-equipped cavalry, their eyes filled with terror, they were deeply gobsmacked.
Heru Cokro nodded and ordered the others to stay, only taking Wirama and Ghozi with him. As they walked in the camp, the refugees came out of their homes and looked at them with curiosity. Most refugees are like refugees, they do not have decent clothes, only tattered clothes with pale faces.
Before Heru Cokro left for the refugee camp, he put on his armor and took his sword, dressed like a general, and looked like a noble hero. The two walking beside him were also well equipped, compared to the refugees, they were like heaven and earth.
Heru Cokro took a good look at the military equipment of the refugee camp, they only had crude armor and simple weapons, they had, he could not imagine how Raden Said could lead the refugees and defend himself from the invasions of the robbers. He had reevaluated Raden Said and appreciated him even more, as this was an example of a man who was highly skilled in battle tactics.
When they entered the room, they sat together. For the refugees, other than Raden Said, only an elder and a young man remained, while the others automatically left.
"Let me introduce them to His Majesty." Raden Said said as he pointed his finger at the older one, "This is Aria Dikara, the former director at the Financial Bureau. While this young man is our military general, Eyang Cakrajaya.”
Heru Cokro greeted them in turns, smiling and introducing Wirama and Ghozi to the other party. He notices that when he introduces Wirama, the views of military general Cakrajaya freeze, filled with excitement. As for Ghozi, the refugees had already met him in the morning, making it easy to introduce him.
After learning of Ghozi's position as the Director of the Military Intelligence Division, a white light suddenly appeared in Raden Said's eyes, he had grasped the situation in his heart.
To be honest, when Heru Cokro introduced Ghozi, he felt a little embarrassed, because the Director of the Jawa Military Intelligence Division Dwipa had such a name, it was simply not suitable.
If there's a chance in the future, let's see if I can change the name to a better name.
In the refugee camp meeting hall, after the two sides greeted each other, they went into the topic.
Heru Cokro did not want to beat around the bush, and said directly, “Some of you are talented. Not infrequently also very similar and also have a heart that is so caring for the citizens. I am not talented and smart enough, so I would like to invite all of you and your residents to join Jawa Dwipa and grow together. I don't know what you think of that?”
“Good intentions Your Highness we accept. Please let me ask you something rude, if we join Jawa Dwipa, what kind of treatment will we get?” The one who asked was Aria Dikara.
Heru Cokro nodded his head and laughed. “Even if you don't ask, I should also explain it to all of you. A month ago, Jawa Dwipa had completed privatization. Each citizen will be given a basic allowance package that includes 100 units of rice, 20 units of meat, a piece of leather and a set of staple clothes and 20 silver, so enough for 3 months.”
“If the camp residents join Jawa Dwipa, of course they can receive this benefit. Then according to the specialization they have, they can find their own work. Those who are willing to become farmers, the government will provide land and agricultural tools for free. Those who want to fish can rent a boat to fish in the sea. Those who are willing to work, there are mines and logging fields in the region. In addition, the region has built many different workshops, factories, and shops. All these places need talented people. Take a step back, those who do not have specialization can find work in the field of construction.”
“Therefore, as long as you are willing to join Jawa Dwipa, you do not have to worry about not being able to find a job and feed your family. As long as you want to work, it is natural that you have a home and food. As for all of you who are here, the political environment and the military environment welcome you anytime.”
