The Great War of Rhodesia

05. Honored II

A month had passed after the entire southern region had been taken over completely by Rhapsodia.

Aksa, Nata, Rafa, Luque, and Lily held direct monitoring around the southern region along with several leaders of the Work Plan group.

Actually it was the idea of Aksa who really wanted to travel around the region in order to realize his plan to make a festival.

And it was already the fifth day after they had departed from the Central Region. And now they have arrived in the Eblan region to check the situation before starting a new Work Plan in that place.

.

"Are you sure, Mr Aksa?" A Morra man known to Aksa as Huston, the leader of the Work Plan on resetting the farmlands of the Eblan region, seemed to ask uncertainly.

Aksa and Nata's entourage were having a brief meeting after lunch at the residence of the region's leader. Discussing the selection of land after observing the location of the seklegian earlier.

"Yes, from here to around this place, we will make the agricultural area," said Aksa while drawing a field on a map taken from the drone a few days earlier.

The work plan for making maps using drones for the southern region has started to run since a few weeks ago.

This task of work was given to a group of 5 men led by Eden. Which is indeed he himself who volunteered for the job because of his enthusiasm with the Drone.

"But there are noble residential buildings around this eastern region, Mr. Aksa," Huston said, pointing to a picture of a titan-colored square on the map, if only it had been missed by Aksa.

"Yes, I saw it too. Then why?" ask Aksa lightly without any burden. "Just destroy. Ask residents to move if the place is still inhabited," he continued later.

"Destroying the noble residence?" Huston asked doubtfully. He seemed unwilling to find a luxury building should be destroyed just like that.

Some of the people in the room who had not known Aksa for a long time also reacted like Huston. While for those who have known Aksa from a long time can only laugh to see Huston's reaction.

"really. It was just a building. They can build it again somewhere else" Aksa replied lightly. It was as if rebuilding a luxurious residence was a trivial matter.

Hearing Aksa's words, Huston was unable to refute any longer. "Hm.. okay. I understand," he replied then following Aksa's orders.

"Trait along this area should also be quite large. And if there are settlements around the river, move them. Give me a place up north here." Aksa continued his briefing.

.

In the evening, Aksa and Nata's entourage attend a dinner invitation from several important people in the Eblan region. Including Joan.

The dinner was held in addition to welcoming the arrival of Aksa and Nata, also to discuss some of the problems that the region experienced outside the important problems that have been made by Rtncana Kerjaannya.

"From what we've been monitoring this early, the region has started to improve. The whole Work Plan went without any significant problems" Nata said, opening the topic after the main course was finished.

"Yes, Mr. Nata. May this continue to go all the way to the next Work Plan." A beautiful-looking Narva man of the former aristocrat Estate Eblan replied to Nata's remark.

The man named Gladio was the host of the dinner. And is one of the members of the Work Plan group to revive the economy of the Southern Region.

"Yes, we have contacted the printing press of the Central Region newspaper to add the number of their prints. To spread it in this Eblan region. Before the printing press was built." Joan, who was also given the responsibility of dealing with the issue of dissemination of information to ordinary citizens outside the Central Region, replied.

"It's good that it is. Because according to Mr. Matyas yesterday it took half a year for the Radio Communications network to be used in this region to the west." Nata.

"I heard that we have proposed peace talks with the Joren region?" tanya Gladio started a new topic of conversation. "Did we get a good response from their side?"

"Joren's side has not yet given an answer to the proposed negotiations. I think they're pretty dizzy now. Until it takes more than a week to decide," replied Nata with a small laugh staring at Joan. He referred to his speech by the rumors that Joan had spread in the Joren Kingdom.

While Joan who knew the meaning of Nata's words was just a small smile.

"When Joren agrees to the talks, it means we have a great opportunity to make trade agreements even with Durahan and Galasium" Gladio said, looking very excited about the possibility.

"There is no hurry to think about it, Mr. Gladio. Our task now is to revive the economy of this southern region first" replied Nata who tried to suppress the spirit of Gladio overflowing.

"Yes, I think you're right, Mr. Nata. Our priority right now is indeed the economy in our own territory." Gladio looked a little embarrassed for being too excited.

"really. And it won't be easy. Because the plan is a year ahead we must have started to create a special currency substitute for precious metals as a medium of exchange, by making a Bank," Nata later said.

"Currency substitute for precious metals as a medium of exchange?" Gladio immediately asked back after hearing the concept that attracted his interest. "How does this work?"

"Yes, in simple terms, we will make a tool to be used as a measure or value when buying and selling." Nata answered trying to explain. "And to make the tool valuable even if it is not a precious metal, the kingdom must recognize and guarantee its value. And to keep an eye also keep the value of the tool, then we need to create a special body to handle it."

"That particular body is a bank?" guess Gladio.

"really. We're going to start spreading that currency through the salaries of government workers as an official statement. That way we can adjust the price of goods and other needs in the new currency unit." Nata replied with a series of additional explanations. "Then the kingdom will start buying the precious metals of the population at a price high enough to help expand the use of the currency."

It looks not only Gladio who looks serious listening to Nata's explanation. Almost everyone who attended the dinner was so interested and curious about how the concept of non-precious metal money works.

"And that way the kingdom will have additional funds in the form of precious metals to buy necessities to the outside region" continued Nata later.

"Oh, right. That's really an amazing idea, Mr. Nata." It looks Gladio can not cover his enthusiastic expression hearing Nata's explanation. "That means we can also force outsiders to use our currency to buy our goods that they need. That way our currency will also start to spread outside the kingdom."

"really. And if our currency starts to be recognized and used in many places, then we can start making price adjustments and they will follow suit" Nata replied later.

"That means in other words we monopolize the market price of the entire region using our currency?" Gladio seemed not to believe the possibility that could happen from the plan to make the currency.

Nata answered with a nod of his head.

"And just additional info. We can use it to colonize other areas by making the region owe us a debt because of the price changes we do," said Aksa suddenly who had just been silent enjoying his dessert. "Yes but maybe the queen won't like it" he added later who got a laugh reply from the others.
