The Thousand Year Dynasty
01. First Week II
Meanwhile, Nata has now arrived at the meeting hall to discuss matters concerning trade, housing, and infrastructure, with Orland, Dirk, and Madron.
Also present in the area were Cornelius and Constantine. Which will also discuss the development of the state of the kingdom of Elbrasta.
"Now electric generators have been completed in all cities and villages. Even on the east coast has also been completed" Madron said starting his report.
"That's great. After this we just need to build a guard tower in various places in this region" Nata said. "Later I will provide details of the distance between the towers" he added later.
"Why are we building a watchtower in the inner region, Mr Aksa?" Orland looked confused. "More than one anyway. It is not that the guard tower is only built on the outskirts of the region to observe the existence of opponents outside the fortress wall" he continued.
"Yes, Mr. Orland. It is like that for the guard tower in general. But we're not really going to build a tower to guard against opponents outside the fortress" Nata tried to explain. "Basically we just need a tool, or a path, or a network, to communicate" he added.
"Communicating?" Almost everyone in the room seemed to not understand what Nata meant.
"really. Later each guard tower will be equipped with bells, and spotlights that have a range up to other guard towers" Nata explained.
"What do you mean that the guards will communicate with the lights and bells?" Madron asked this time.
"Yes more or less like that, Mr. Madron" Nata replied. "Later each guard will be taught a way to communicate using the floodlight to the guard in the other guard tower. That way the news will quickly get to the center or vice versa" he explained later.
Others look serious.
"And if at any time something happens in the areas on this land, then the center or maybe the closest region will be able to act more quickly" Nata continued later.
"Oh, I understand a little" Orland replied.
"And after that we will begin to build a watchtower along the path to the city of Varun and also to the city of Dios in the region of Ceodore. And also started building his electric generator" Nata continued. "Because of our status with the kingdom of Urbar it has not officially cease-fire or hold such an agreement. So we have to stay vigilant" he added.
"Now some of our workers have started building roads, from the city of Varun to the city of Dion" Madron said. "Mrs Amithy and Mr. Mateus took care of it" he continued.
"It's good that it is" Nata replied. "The plan later for transportation equipment out of the Pharos region, we will make new vehicles more powerful and at the same time facilitate the workers in building. And we will use new energy sources as well" he explained later.
"New source of energy?" Madron asked.
"I mean the driving force. Before this we used wood and water, right? In the future it will all be replaced. Besides it will be a problem if we use too much wood for the equipment which is also increasing it. Also in terms of practical use, the shape of the locomotive furnace was too large" Nata explained at length.
"And what is his successor, Lord Nata?" This time it was Orland who looked curious.
"Then you will be explained by Aksa. He was taking care of it with Mr Selene" Nata replied later. "Then we must also prepare to make a path through the Azure free land to the place or kingdom behind the Urbar kingdom. To penetrate the southern trade in the present times" he added.
"I agree. For trade today, we still rely on the northern mainland. But it seems that with the upheaval in some areas in the kingdom of Elbrasta, making some of our trade routes also disrupted" Dirk took over the talks in the meeting.
"Yes, it's inevitable. We also have to start making other lines to the Estrinx region and also Cilum through the Sea line" Nata replied. "With the shipyard in the Western city that has begun to develop, I think it is time also we open the sea lane. After all, now Xin city is within the dominion of this region" he added later.
"Yes, speaking of Xin city. Do we also need to establish a market outside of this region?" Dirk asked again.
"What do you mean we need to make like this Central city somewhere else so that the residents do not gather all in this city? Like what happened in the city?" Dirk asked.
"Yes, more or less like that. Population density that does not retake it will cause problems in various aspects. Want to be culturally, economically, environmentally, and even politically" Nata explained. "It can lead to a lack of employment, which impacts crime rates. Causes hygiene problems that will have an impact on health. And then it leads to the dissatisfaction of the people that makes it easy for other parties to use" he explained at length.
Everyone seemed to be aware of the problem Nata mentioned.
"Means we'll start making markets in Xin city?" Orland asked this time.
"For now, Mr. Orland. Perhaps in the city of Meso or the cities around the region. But it is not just the market that we will build later" replied Nata later.
Everyone seemed to understand.
"It's still about population. Recently the number of refugees from Elbrasta region began to increase. There were even some lower class nobles who came to ask for shelter" Cornelius said. "Although we will only accept those who qualify, but I am starting to worry if this continues we will get new problems with people from the north" he added.
"That is hard to avoid, Mr. Cornelius. We have made the most unfavorable condition for the nobles, so that only ordinary people would join us" Nata dissected his words. "But if there are indeed some nobles who still want to come, it means their decision. We can't do anything but accept them if we qualify" he continued.
"Can't we just limit it to certain nobles?" Cornelius gave his opinion.
"You want to get into Lucia's daughter's nagging?" Saut Nata fast.
Everyone seemed to want to laugh, but felt it was not the right time to do so. As a result, they just smiled batedly responding to Nata's words.
"I understand your unrest, Mr. Cornelius. Because it could be all these things used by certain parties to counterattack us" said Nata later. "Maybe we can change some special terms and rules for the nobles who want to join later" he continued.
"Is that true for the nobles of the south, too?" This time Orland asked.
"For the southern mainland, after this we will make rules for the areas that we have just mastered. We'll wait for Lucia's daughter for that" Nata replied. "But broadly speaking, we can invite those southern nobles to join us, or leave the region" he added.
Orland simply nodded in silence. A sign that he understands.
"Then about your plan to leave the region. Are you seriously going to do it?" Dirk finally asked a question that the others had wanted to ask.
"We have done that with a lot of consideration. Maybe that's the best way for all of us" Nata replied.
"You're Lucia willing to think a little mature" Orland sounded a little irritated.
"We don't have to blame anyone, Mr. Orland. We are still in this world. Not yet going back to our own world" Nata replied with a little joking so as not to add to the tense atmosphere.
Seen the others smiled wryly in response to Nata's words.
