Miss Louisa From the Valley of the Wind

Hilton (2)

"But because I paid the damages, some of the higher-ups in the city of Hilton accused me of corruption" said minister Zake Valley in a slightly upset tone.

"Is the record less clear uncle?"

"I think it's good enough princess"

"Can I see it?"

"certain...Here comes the Princess" minister Zake said, handing over some papers.

Louisa checked the expenditure report, from which she was able to come to a conclusion.

"Uncle, let's meet the head of the city.. I have an idea, but I need the approval of my uncle and the city chief. Anyway, what's uncle doing with this emergency?"

"Previously this tent is a place for food supplies and equipment Puteri. This morning it was moved to a new location. It's just that since I have to finish some records then I'm still here. How does the Princess know I'm in the tent?"

"So Shine saw the uncle's horse tethered beside the tent, so we're sure uncle's inside"

"so apparently. Princess, everything is done, we can leave now"

"The tent wasn't dismantled uncle?"

"Later there will be workers who come to dismantle it. "

Louisa and Minister Zake out the tent. Outside Shine and the others were still waiting near their respective horses.

"We're leaving" Louisa said as she rode her horse.

All the groups immediately did the same. They spurred his horse quickly leaving dust flying in the air.

An hour later they arrived at the town hall. The officers in charge of guarding the town hall treated them with respect.

One of the guards immediately ran into the town hall informing Louisa and Minister Zake of the town's arrival.

Hastily the head of the city walked out welcoming their arrival.

"Miss Louisa, welcome to the city of Hilton. The ministers as well as the ladies and gentlemen please come in" the city chief said kindly.

Although she called Louisa Miss, but she actually knew that it was Princess Lorine. But because of Louisa's request as to all the city chiefs she met, she was called Miss Louisa.

Besides Louisa is more comfortable with being called by her own name, it is also useful to avoid unnecessary problems.

After all, as a royal Princess as well as a re-founder of the Wind Valley Kingdom, there must be some who are unhappy with her actions and may try to harm her.

Especially some of the kings and princes whose applications were rejected by Louisa before.

"Please sit down Miss, sir and Madam" said the city chief who took them to the meeting room.

"Thank you, Mr. Tork."

"What's the big deal that Miss came here with Mr Zake?"

"Mr Tork, I'm straight to the point. You definitely know about the road improvements the kingdom is making. Be it the royal road, or the regional road"

"I know Miss"

"So I had a conversation with Mr. Zake. He said, if his actions pay compensation for land and buildings affected by the shoulder of the road instead accused as an act of corruption. Actually what is the problem, because I believe there are other problems behind the emergence of the issue"

"I'm sorry Miss. What you said is true. It was all my uncle, Don. All the projects in the Hilton area were he who took over.. But because the repair and widening of this road is part of a royal project despite using local funds, making it not have a chance to take over"

"And deliberately spread the issue?"

"Yes Miss. This is actually often done to other officials, so that they withdraw from an existing project"

"Have you never reprimanded his actions?"

"Yes, Miss, repeatedly. But he didn't care, even he often threatened to take over my position as the head of the city"

"With his wealth surpassing mine, he had the support of our extended family enough that I couldn't do much."

Louisa was silent for a moment.

"If we take this matter to the law, then Mr. Tork's relationship with his extended family must be disrupted" Zake said.

"Uncle's right. Just look at uncle, and Mr. Tork. We're auctioning this project. It'll also ease Uncle Zake's job."

"You mean Miss?"

"Any road repair in our entire kingdom will be auctioned. Uncle Zake prepared the data road data that will be improved and widened, including the estimated length and width of the road that we want"

"We will announce this auction throughout the entire Wind Valley kingdom, as well as to the neighboring kingdom. Anyone who can provide a quote with the lowest price and the fastest time of completion, will get the project."

"What about the land or community buildings affected Miss?"

"It became the responsibility of the city chief to vent it with the community. It can be in the form of compensation in the form of coins, or it can also be a transfer of a substitute for losses"

"Replacement? What do you mean, miss, are we moving the affected population to a new place?"

"really. We can build a house for them in the designated place of the head of the city. Or if they number more than ten heads of families, we can create a new village. It is also useful for the development of the kingdom's territory development."

"If so, does this not have to get approval from the minister of territory and population?" ask the head of Tork city.

"Of course Mr. Tork. Even other ministers related to the region, taxes, and economy. Most importantly all the city heads carry out their duties, while other affairs will take care of them"

"Okay, my lady understands. And now about the auction project how's miss?"

"We will have another month in the city of Hinom. All city heads or their representatives must be present to attend the auction event. "

"Miss, in my opinion do not directly all of our territory auction miss"

"Why uncle?"

"To facilitate supervision and also to get quality project winners. If we do one auction, then maybe we will let go of a lot of opportunities, because there is no way a tender holder can do a lot of work at once" explained Minister Zake.

"Ah.ltya. Uncle has a point too. All right, then we'll change the location of the auction. For the Hilton area, the auction is in the city of Hilton and is held in three weeks."

"If so, finish taking care of the payment of the workers' wages, I will go straight to Hinom to prepare everything Miss"

"Good uncle. I will send a message to every city chief to put up this auction announcement. So everyone has the same chance"

"Where is the lady going?"

"I want to go to Rock city, I want to make sure something is there.. "

Note: *What is meant by the royal road, is the main road that connects the kingdom with other kingdoms.

For example, the road that Louisa had to walk when entering the Valley of the Wind region from the border Gordon to the city of Hinom. Whether it is repair or maintenance of the road, it is the responsibility of the kingdom.

**When regional roads, are roads that connect one region to another but are not access to other kingdoms.

For example, the road taken by Louisa when from the city of Mountain to the city of Yuritz.
