Miss Louisa From the Valley of the Wind

Auctioneers

King Landen thought for a moment.

The ten percent difference was no small matter for the Wind Valley Kingdom. But right now, he really had no other choice. Or the mining project won't work.

"Mr Climb, if you accept the division of results as you said before. How much does the government earn per year?"

"My provisional estimate was about three hundred to five hundred thousand gold coins for the first year. As for the next year four hundred and fifty thousand to one million gold coins per year."

Everyone present except Louisa was shocked. They realized that the initial capital money of one hundred thousand gold coins demanded by Climb was a very small number compared to the money to be produced.

But then again, the Wind Valley's finances were not adequate. By being forced they become resigned to Climb's offer.

"Mr Climb, I as the king of the Valley of the Wind Kingdom agree with the distribution of the results you offer. We'll take care of the license immediately, so that the project can run immediately."

"Thank you Your Majesty"

"Uncle, father, Lark's cousin and minister's uncle. We have all heard about the size of government revenues from the mining sector. I wish, especially cousin Lark, that I'd really learned about mine."

"Why is that Lorine's cousin?"

"Mining in the village of Tov, is only the initial mining in this kingdom. Some time later, after this mine starts running, rest assured there will be a new mine to be opened."

"If so, the kingdom will have a steady income that can make this country even better" said Lark excitedly.

"Because of that, I wish we could better prepare for everything. So that later can have a better bargaining position" said Louisa

"Everything what does Lorine mean?" ask general Lucky.

"Father and uncle must know, if the initial capital money requested by Brother Climb is very little..If it was the other party who filed, at the very least they would ask for that base capital of around three hundred thousand gold coins "

"So do we have to raise money first and then agree if someone submits a new project?" ask Lark.

"More or less like that"

After the coincidences occurred, they finally dispersed themselves.

*****

Three Weeks later.

The palace square looks crowded. The news of the repair auction and widening the road invited the interest of many people.

There are those who really intend to try their luck to win one of the roads that will be auctioned, there are also those who come just to watch. Because the auction of new road repair was once implemented.

Usually, the repair and widening of the road is directly handled by the city or royal government and can also be appointed directly by the city government. It is difficult for the other party to get involved.

Gong..!! Gong...!!

Gong was hit at the sign of the auction event starting to be held.

Teola was standing in front of the podium.

"Welcome to you at the repair auction and widening of the road of the Valley of Wind Kingdom"

"I Teola Valley will lead in swgacara. Don't wait long for our show to start."

"According to the announcement that has been installed in each city, that for the auction this time, the road we auction is located in the district one area from the border village to the city of Hinom."

"For the number one street auction, the royal road. Improvements and widening, the location from the city of Hilton to the village of Hiro, a twenty kilometer long road. The width of the road is six meters, the workmanship for thirty days. Estimated project value of three perkilometer gold coins. Please make your offer"

"Two gold coins, ninety silver" said participant number ten.

"Two gold coins, eighty-five silver coins" said participant number seven.

"Two gold coins, eighty silver coins" said participant number nineteen.

"Two gold coins, sixty-five silver coins" said participant number ten again.

"Two gold coins, fifty-five silver coins" said participant number eleven.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, no more making an offer.

"Two gold coins, fifty-five silver coins the second"

"Two gold coins, fifty-five silver coins the third. Congratulations to the number eleven."

Finally the first street auction was won by the number eleven participant. The mocking faces of some of the other participants seemed to him.

"Too thin profit with the proposed price" said one participant.

"Maybe he wants filial work" said the participant next to him.

But the number eleven participant just laughed.

"If you can't, don't talk" he replied casually.

"For the second street that the royal road auctioned off. Repair and widening, the location from Hiro city to Hakku village, fifteen kilometers long road. The width of the road is six meters, the workmanship for thirty days. Estimated project value of three perkilometer gold coins. Please make your offer"

The participants submit their respective offers. But the number eleven participant no longer made the bid.

In this auction, each participant is only allowed to take one project for the royal road, and a maximum of two projects for regional roads.

This regulation was made by the kingdom to maximize the performance of project holders, and prevent a monopoly of one particular party. And also so that the repair work and widening of the road can be completed faster.

Finally after being bid by a number of participants, the second project was won by the number five participants.

Time continued to run, it did not feel that the day had been noon and all the projects for the repair and widening of the royal road had been completed, so the first stage auction had been completed.

Before entering the second stage auction, the event was paused for one hour.

Many participants look happy because they managed to win a particular project, while others are disappointed because the project they are after is won by other participants.

After an hour, participants re-entered the venue. Teola is leading the show.

"For the number one street auction, street area. Repair and widening, the location from the city of Hilton to the village of Wert is twenty-three kilometers long. The width of the road is five meters, the workmanship for thirty days. Estimated project value of two gold coins, eighty silver coins per kilometer. Please make your offer"

"Two gold coins, seventy-five silver coins" said participant number twenty

"Two gold coins, seventy silver coins" said the number thirty participant unwilling to lose

"Two gold coins, sixty-five silver coins" said participant number twenty back.

"Two gold coins, fifty-five silver coins" said participant number twelve.

"Two gold coins, fifty-two silver coins" said the number twenty participant again unwilling to lose.

After that, no one made an offer.

"Two gold coins, fifty-two first silver coins"

"Two gold coins, fifty-two silver coins the second"

"Two gold coins, fifty-two silver coins the third. Congratulations to participant number twenty" Teola said.

Although the width of the road for the regional road is narrower than the royal road, but the level of difficulty is greater than the royal road.

This is because the royal road has been petrified before, so it only needs to increase the width of the road and repairs in some places.

While the local road itself, many roads have never been petrified at all so it needs to pave the road first and of course have a greater level of difficulty.

By the end of the new night the auction event is over. Minister Zake instantly became extremely busy. With the help of his men, they recorded the list of winners of the project along with the amount of funds each project should be provided by the kingdom.
