Revolution in Al Shin District: Pursuing the Big Dream
Inside the quiet meeting room at City Hall, Manguri Rajaswa began to give an overview of the construction developments that had taken place in Al Shin Subdistrict. Heru Cokro and Witana Sideng Rana, who were sitting beside him, listened carefully.
Manguri Rajaswa: "First, let's talk about the administrative structure. I have built the structure of the city hall according to the standards of the region, and we have recruited some personnel from Java Dwipa, some of whom are refugees."
Heru Cokro did not intervene in the personnel arrangement of Al Shin District, entrusting it entirely to Witana Sideng Rana.
Manguri Rajaswa: "Second, let's discuss the construction project. Gunung Batu Jumak Port is already standing and functioning. Many merchant ships sailed between Pantura Port and Batu Jumak Mountain Port. After three waves of migrants, the sea lanes are almost completely safe."
Furthermore, the 1st Division Trident Pantura Squadron had managed to clear the pirates around Pantura Bay, which meant that the trade routes of the traders would become safer. Some traders from Makassar even began planning a direct trade route to the Port of Gunung Batu Jumak.
Manguri Rajaswa: "The town in Al Shin District has been completed. Now we just need to finish building the outer city. All businesses, from shops to workshops, will be built outside the city, so the outside city is predicted to become more crowded and animative than the inner city."
Manguri Rajaswa: "Three, let's talk about industrial planning. The first stage of the Salt Fields at Tamban Beach has been successfully reclaimed and has begun to produce salt. This gave a profit of about eight thousand gold each month, which was the greatest achievement of Al Shin District to date."
In addition, extensive farmland outside the city has been reclaimed to grow various types of crops. Rice plants have flourished, and other crops such as sugar cane, rubber, carrots, and tea also thrive among the gardens and goat pens on the farm.
Manguri Rajaswa: "Due to population restrictions, UK-9 and the Chamber of Commerce are responsible for the management of these farmlands and gardens. Al Shin sub-district only charges land rent, agricultural taxes, and business taxes from them."
This is a great asset for the Chamber of Commerce, not just the resources coming from Mount Bukit Raya, he said, but also the wealth generated from the different types of agriculture and gardens in the natural environment is very suitable for the growth of crops such as sugarcane and rubber.
Speaking of the defense of the territory, the Tiger Legion which was a fighting force in the wilderness was not stationed within the Al Shin Subdistrict. They are located about five kilometers north of the city. The reason behind this is Ashwatama's view that the natives in the north are a major threat to the region.
Within the city, due to population restrictions, only one city protection unit has been established. Their main task is to conduct daily patrols in the city and resolve any internal disputes that may arise. Al Shin Sub-district, in contrast to Java Dwipa, is a complicated place with many players, so oppositions and conflicts can occur from time to time.
After listening to Manguri Rajaswa's report, Heru Cokro nodded in satisfaction. The progress that Al Shin District had achieved exceeded his expectations. Witana Sideng Rana also felt very happy. With the existing base and infrastructure, he felt more confident in making Al Shin District as the second largest city outside Java Dwipa.
Then, at 10 a.m., Heru Cokro called the officials in Al Shin District to meet him. He also officially announced the appointment of Witana Sideng Rana as the head of Al Shin District. After Manguri Rajaswa completes the changeover, he will return to Java Dwipa, and the training he has conducted in Al Shin District will be one of the valuable assets for the region.
In order to support Witana Sideng Rana, Heru Cokro decided to stay in the Ruler Manor for a while. Although the manor may look shabby, he was never greedy for luxury. When he entered the Ruler's Manor, He Ayu Heryamin, Sri Isana Tunggawijaya, and Budi Winarko happened to be there.
Sri Isana Tunggawijaya: "Haha, stupid boy, you're getting stronger!"
Heru Cokro only smiled, because, even though he was the Gresik Regent who was highly respected by everyone, in front of his aunt, he was still a niece who could be seduced. In his heart, he somewhat enjoyed the temptation, as the higher his position was, the fewer people dared to treat him casually.
When Budi Winarko saw their joke, he felt it was very comforting. The one who was highly respected as the Regent of Gresik was only a boy who could be ridiculed.
Sri Isana Tunggawijaya: "Soon!" Sri Isana Tunggawijaya responded seriously.
They have been on a two-week exploration, an unforgettable experience. Their three guilds had alternately explored the cave, which was very different from the G4S Payday Army Group operating alone.
Although it had already been two months, they had yet to fully explore the entire cave. However, from the words of Sri Isana Tunggawijaya, it seems that they have reached a key moment in this exploration.
Within a week, they were expected to successfully complete the exploration of the cave, and the question was, who would claim the wealth contained within. Although the three guilds were allies, they remained in competition with each other in this exploration, and their progress was a secret.
Heru Cokro noticed this attentively, as this was part of his plan. After the exploration was completed, he would open up this region to adventurer players, most of whom would be members of the three guilds. In addition, a small team will also be chosen to oversee the situation.
Heru Cokro: "Bonded Rat and Military Intelligence Division will also set up an intel station here. This will strengthen our control over Al Shin District and allow us to monitor every movement in the city."
The situation in Al Shin District is getting more interesting along with the development of the big plans that are underway.
Heru Cokro widened his eyes towards Budi Winarko, his smile adorning his face as he asked, "Leader of the Winarko Union, how are you in Banjarmasin?"
After making great efforts to move the UK-9 to Banjarmasin, the arrival of Heru Cokro about a month later was quite surprising. A mixed feeling flashed through his mind.
Budi Winarko responded steadily, "I just feel like everything is going better than I expected."
UK-9 has been percolating strongly in the soil of Borneo. They have used the resources they brought from Jakarta to invest in various workshops and shops in Al Shin District. Even outside the city, they had set up four manors and two farms.
The investment they made in Al Shin Subdistrict was even greater than what the Chamber of Commerce had made. In addition, the remaining UK-9 members, about ten thousand people, are not only loyal, but also have middle to upper ranks. They had managed to fill the void of talented individuals in Al Shin District.
Now, UK-9 is a force that cannot be ignored in Al Shin District. They had also managed to obtain rare resources, both from the elite group and the headquarters of the three great guilds. As Al Shin District becomes more and more open to the public, the problem of scarce resources is likely to be resolved easily.
UK-9 is in the process of a remarkable revival. Although Budi Winarko had spoken to Heru Cokro before, he still showed a flat expression. His cold personality even exceeded that of Hesty Purwadinata. However, she has a close relationship with He Ayu Heryamin, who seems to have a tacit understanding between them.
That afternoon, Heru Cokro went to the Tiger Legion camp. Now, Al Shin District was already on the right track, and other than helping Witana Sideng Rana who had taken over, Heru Cokro would not intervene much. The only concern he had was the matter of cleaning up the natives.
For more details, he needed to speak directly with Ashwatama, who was an expert in strategy and formation. Ashwatama had successfully built the headquarters of the Tiger Legion with a very effective hidden formation. Inside the camp, in addition to the troops that had been sent to clear the natives, the remaining were undergoing training in the field.
The entire military camp, other than the loud sound of training, barely made a sound at all. The strict regulations implemented by Ashwatama prove itself well.
