Samudro knew that he was a scholar, and only had a few years in private school to learn a few things. His formal education was conducted at the University of Gresik. In that region, not to mention talents, there were more than 5 scholars and people who passed the imperial examination.
As for experience, he had one of the few directors. Of the 3 directors in the Material Reserve Bureau, he had the least experience.
The only thing he had was his passion and desire to learn. However, such a quality cannot add to its competitiveness, because after all, everyone only sees results. Therefore, Samudro does not have the confidence or skills to take over such heavy responsibilities.
He gritted his teeth and said solemnly, "Yes Your Majesty, I dare not."
He did not expect that Heru Cokro would not only not be angry, but also laugh happily. “Not bad, really not bad.”
Samudro was confused and asked, "Baginda?"
"Do you know why I praise you?"
“Please resolve my ignorance, Sire!” Samudro said with respect.
“Promoting you to director is a dangerous decision. Your worries are also my concern. If you accept it straight away, then I have to think whether putting you in such a position is the right choice. If a person can know everything about himself and block temptation, he deserves a chance. A long time ago in the military, I made it clear that we would develop talent and would not see experience. Here, we will use the same theory.”
“I have to admit that the time may not be right to promote you, but we have no other choice now because Director Witana has a more important job. The Materials Reserves Bureau needs someone to take over, and from its recommendations, you are the most suitable. During the administration meeting on the 25th, I will announce your promotion. But I'm still worried. So that I talk to you right now and also test you.”
“The results show that our decision was right and you are talented. You don't have to worry, pressure is a good thing. You can turn it into motivation. I want to prove to the world that our Dwipa Java region has the ability to care for the directors. Don't worry and do your best. If anything happens, I will support you. Remember, I'm your last shield.”
Heru Cokro's words were exactly what he wanted to hear. Even if he faced the sea of fire, he would jump without hesitation if Heru Cokro ordered it.
Samudro stood up and knelt on the ground, bowing to Heru Cokro.
His eyes were filled with tears and he said emotionally, "Don't worry Your Majesty, I won't let you down." He has decided to do his job well and accept this responsibility.
Heru Cokro helped her up, and patted her on the shoulder. “You're a boy, why are you crying? Do well, show me some results.”
Samudro tried his best not to cry and shouted, "Yes your Majesty!"
******
25 May, the meeting hall of Dwipa Java region.
Administration meeting of the 5th month, followed by the director and head of the affiliate area.
In the meeting hall, a stage was set up and divided the hall into 2 regions. The higher area had a red mat, and on it was a half-meter-high wooden table. The middle is flat and the sides are curved upwards. On it was paper ink and a pen.
Behind the table is a chair. It had an oval back and on the extended side was an armrest, a very simple design.
At the bottom of the meeting hall, there were 3 short tables on each side. On it was tea and fruit. Behind them was a floor mat, and there were no chairs.
4 bureau directors sat on two different sides and knelt behind the table. The line after them, there are division directors. The last 2 places are currently empty. Next to the left table, sat 3 heads of affiliate territory. On the right is the Director of the Audit Division, Law and Order Division, and the Prosecutor's Division.
Heru Cokro sat on a chair, his body upright, and lowered his head before saying, "Before we officially start the discussion, I will announce some personnel changes."
Everything was still calm and unfazed, because it was as they had expected before that the ruler would make a change.
“I have decided to form the Bureau of the Interior in charge of law and order, prisons, audits, and population control. The Audit Division, Prosecutor's Division and Law and Order Division will all be under this new bureau. In addition, the Civil Registry Division will also be moved under this new bureau.”
Heru Cokro had dropped an atomic bomb that exceeded all their expectations. The Bureau of the Interior is responsible for all important divisions, and its importance can be compared to the Bureau of Administration. Especially after moving the Civil Registration Division, now the four bureaus can be said to be equally important.
The establishment of the Bureau of the Interior was created using the knowledge of modern society as a guide, and combined with the Java Dwipa region the current situation. Their role mainly has to deal with law and order.
The only exception is the Audit Division.
How to maximize their abilities had always been a problem that Heru Cokro thought of.
If he made it directly into a bureau, it might be too thin and not important enough. However, if he let them work independently, they would lack authority that would not help their work, and instead hinder. After much deliberation, Heru Cokro decided on this strategy.
When he announced the establishment of the Bureau of the Interior, Witana Sideng Rana understood everything. Heru Cokro might want him to be in charge of this, compared to the Bureau of Material Reserves whose stature was constantly increasing or decreasing. It is certainly more interesting and a better place to show his ability.
As expected, Heru Cokro began to make personnel changes. “Witana Sideng Rana will be the director, and at the same time he will be relieved of his duties as the Director of the Material Reserve Bureau.”
Witana Sideng Rana immediately got up and walked to the center of the hall before bowing. “Thank you, for your trust. I won't let you down.”
This arrangement was something too shocking and no one expected it.
In the region, to be able to perform such a task, only Kawis Guwa and Witana Sideng Rana can do it. because Kawis Guwa is already the Administrative Director, he said, then Witana Sideng Rana who deserves to be the Director of Internal Affairs. Now the two finally returned to the same starting line.
The only thing everyone is looking forward to is who will replace him. Because the position of Director of the Material Reserve Bureau is also very interesting.
