Heru Cokro ignored their thoughts and said, “When the problem of territory increases and we get busier, we will get more official letters. Therefore, just depending on one officer would be extremely difficult. I have decided to set up a clerk's office to focus on such letters. The responsibility of the manager of the clerk's office is the same as that of the director. Manguri Rajaswa will take this position. Four to five additional scribes will be hired to help him.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Manguri Rajaswa has finally succeeded, and has secured an official position.
Heru Cokro also announced that Deputy Director Hari Pranowo will take over the Construction Division from Buminegoro.
Heru Cokro originally planned to let Him Ayu Heryamin take over. Unfortunately, he was only interested in architecture and not a matter of construction. Therefore, Heru Cokro could only let that happen.
After the reorganization, Heru Cokro began to announce his plans for the region, “Conquering five regions at once is something to be happy about. Next, we need to think about how to integrate these five regions into the Java Dwipa system. For them, we have to have a plan and also the next goal. The main goal is to build a Petrochemical Village. It has an important strategic location. It has the most important level, because it will be the center of the district for the western region.”
“To support the construction of Petrochemical Village, I have decided to send the prisoners from Putri Cempo Hill to it, aside from those who have already been selected for the reserve force. We will build a wall. The walls he had now were too small in scale and could only accommodate a limited number of people. The outer wall must follow the class of the district, which has a length of 10 kilometers, a height of 10 meters, and a thickness of 30 meters.”
The core project for the Petrochemical Village was to complete the outer region wall and the official channel, these two large-scale projects. Heru Cokro made Buminegoro as the village head because of these considerations.
Heru Cokro's thinking is simple. Before they built Sendang Banyu Biru Road, the Petrochemical Village was cut off and far away, making it difficult to expand.
Heru Cokro might as well start building territorial walls and other simple buildings.
“In addition to Petrochemical Village, the second priority is Maspion Village. It was close to the mountain barbarian tribe in the central region and was located in a good strategic location. I have decided to move all the residents to Rosmala Village and also attract the mountain barbarians to come down. Let them run Maspion Village by themselves,” as he says these words, he turns and looks at Witana Sideng Rana, “Witana Sideng Rana, you will handle the building.”
"Your Majesty!" Witana Sideng Rana agreed.
Compared to the settlement in Kebonagung, Maspion Village has advantages. All the facilities are there and do not need to be rebuilt. It could also accommodate 10 to 20 tribes.
Maspion Village also remained in contact with the mountain barbarian tribe, so persuading them would not be too difficult.
The only regret is that they missed the second rice growing season. When mountain barbarians descended from the mountain, the Javanese Dwipa needed to give them grain for half a year.
If someone can't stand paying for bait, they won't catch a fish. Heru Cokro understood such a reason.
Once the Maspion Village natives move to Rosmala Village, this can help to encourage growth in Rosmala Village and help to upgrade it to Rosmala Subdistrict. Before they destroyed Smelter Village, Rosmala Village would be the castle of the eastern side of Java Dwipa, so it was also important. Therefore, after he started making Jalan Sendang Banyu Biru, Heru Cokro needed to build a channel and pathway between Kebonagung and Rosmala Village, including Maspion Village.
Since mountain barbarians could not grow crops, using them to build official roads and paths was the best idea. It would not cause him to waste too much energy.
Heru Cokro completed the plans of the five affiliate territories with a few words. In addition, it provides employment directives to bureaus and divisions.
As the region expanded, another major problem of Java Dwipa has been revealed, namely the lack of talent. The five affiliate areas were like Jawa Dwipa when they were at that stage, they lacked talent. Jawa Dwipa had no choice but to send some government officials and high-level officials.
This resulted in a talent shortage in the main region.
If it was just a shortage of government-level officials, Heru Cokro would not be worried. After all, he had the University of the Gods. After a bit of training, they would be able to take on that role.
The crux of the problem is that outside the system of government, they lack special talent. This alarmed him, the five affiliate territories were all struggling in this area. They cannot find and develop talent.
The lack of talent limited the growth and development of Java Dwipa.
The University of the Gods is a long-term plan, similar to the Javanese office of Dwipa in the capital's created system. They will not affect the situation in the short term.
Historical figures are also very difficult to come by. The end of the Magada Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Guagra was getting closer, so there was no famous minister he could get. The only thing that Heru Cokro was waiting for was Jaka Maruta who was the son of Patih Suratimantra.
Unfortunately, half a month had passed since the Kangsa Takon Father, but no one had seen Jaka Maruta.
Java Dwipa has an advantage in attracting the famous ministers of the Kingdom of Magada. Not only did they have Jayakalana, a famous general, they also got a gift from the King of Magada. Thus, they had a strong relationship with the Magada Kingdom.
In addition, Dhruwa Temple, Anala Temple, Anila Temple, Pratyusa Temple, Soma Temple, Dhawa Temple, Recruitment Hall, Yai Semar Temple and Borobudur Temple improved the reputation of Java Dwipa. Therefore, this subdistrict has a great advantage in attracting historical figures.
Even so, they still did not get any reward that made Heru Cokro anxious but helpless.
Heru Cokro suppressed his thirst for talent and continued to plan and organize his territory.
“The financial problems of this region are largely due to our over-reliance on the White Wolf Mine, Gudang Garam and TPI. We are losing motivation to expand and find new industries because we have funds flowing from these two places. As the region and military expand, gold from both will not be enough and we need much more.”
“Both it's White Wolf Mine Farm, Salt Warehouse and TPI, their scale and profits have peaked, so there is no potential for further growth. In the long run, we need to look for other industries, in addition to the core industries we occupy, such as military goods, the region has also produced local products such as palm wine and rainbow-colored silk. It is a high profit product. Unfortunately, they were unfocused and were in a half-dead state. In fact, the potential of this local product is much higher than mine, salt field, and TPI because the possibilities are endless.”
Heru Cokro's words are a form of self-criticism and also a criticism of the performance of the Financial Bureau. Be it palm wine or rainbow-colored silk, Heru Cokro had handed it over to the Financial Bureau and given them some advice. Unfortunately, they only took small steps, and they were not brave enough.
