Adi smiled and praised her, "That is great mother. I am now sure that my daring side comes from you. I will ask the System to install its module in you which would be the educational one."
He called to system in his mind, 'System you heard it. Give the sub-system for education sector to my Mother.'
System : "DING"
"Confirmation received. Educational sub-system module installed"
Adi turned to her mother and saw that his mother held her head for a moment and then her face showed an expression of amazement. She chuckled, "Interesting. Very interesting. So things like these also exist. My child, you have given me something which is truly too good to be true. I am sure that with it many things will be possible."
She was clearly in a good mood. It seemed like the sub-system was to her mother's liking. After seeing that nothing happened to her and she also seemed interested in this sub-system thingy, the three elders looked at each other and nodded.
They then turned towards Adi and informed, "Your majesty, we also agree. There is a chance to help you in your great endeavors and we will happily contribute all we can."
Adi was pleased and then relayed their assent to the system. While it could directly hear them and install the modules, it required Adi's confirmation to do it. After having a little pain in their heads, the three people were stupefied. It seemed like the inflow of information was too much for them to handle.
After a moment, Shane began laughing like crazy. Kali and Kaif too were smiling. They now believed their King as all the information in the head was too radical. They couldn't help but imagine what the future of Rai would be.
Now, the only person who remained was Pratap. Adi looked at Pratap and he replied, "Your Majesty, I can't agree with this."
Adi was astonished as he didn't expect it. Adi had thought that Pratap would be the only one who would agree without hesitating much but it seemed that he was wrong. Although he was a little disappointed but it didn't show on his face.
He nodded in understanding and said, "Its okay. I said i wont force you. But can you tell me the reasons for your denial?". He was truly curious as to why would his best man did not accept. He wanted to know the reason.
Pratap answered as a matter of fact, "Your Majesty, its because only you can be the chief of all army and armed forces in the empire. You are the King so only you should have the power over them and nobody else's."
Adi was stunned at his reply and then laughed. It was truly a scenario which he couldn't imagine. His best man denied as he thought that he would be encroaching the King's power if the armed forces answered somebody other than the King.
Adi reassured him, "If it is only this reason then you have nothing to worry. The armed forces will be under you but did you forget that you will follow my orders. Just think that when I am absent, you will make the decisions. The sub-system will guide you too. Now, would you reconsider?"
Pratap thought for a moment and it made sense to him. He will also only follow Adi's orders so it was acceptable now. "Then there's no problem. I am ready to receive it."
After receiving Adi's permission, Pratap had been given the Armed Forces Module. Now, Adi had 6 of his people with different modules and he was happy from the development. It went smoother than he imagined it.
Adi then said as he brought them to reality, "Now, let's plan the future of Kingdom. We have to make all round development so that nothing falls behind. Mainly we have to look out for food for all, residences, education, health, soldiers and weapons for protection.
Mom, you will look after educating the people here. It will not just involve children but also the adults and elders. You can schedule them to be taught in evening after they finish their work.
Also, select a couple of people who know how to write so that you can share your work. You can also look for the heads here who have got the modules and they can help you in other subjects. The details of them you can get from the module."
Laxmi nodded and said, "Rest assured, it will be done."
Adi continued smilingly, "Great. Next is food. Mr. Kali, you will continue what I explained yesterday and make adjustments as necessary. I will provide you the seeds for grains and vegetables first. After that, keep expanding the land for agriculture.
We will need much more farming lands. You will also look out for the animal husbandry. It would be stated in the module the ways and benefits of them."
Kali also assured him after which he looked at Kaif and Shane and said, "Mr. Kaif, you need to make some more tools for farming and carpentry purpose. You should also make some tools which can be used to mine ores.
And Mr. Shane, study the Health module well and look out for herbs and pastes which can be used until we make modern medicines. You have to also get a couple of apprentices or nurses to help you."
They accepted all his commands and swore to follow them word to word. After getting their consent Adi turned to General Pratap. He said in somber tone, "General, we have the most to do in your field. We need more men, more weapons, provide training and look out for enemies.
First, let the soldiers train them according to the manual. When they are ready, we will be more assured. I will look out for ways to get more men and new weapons but it will take time. Let soldiers guard the walls and the ocean all the time and be ready for facing attack any time. No one should slack on duty."
General Pratap very well knew the seriousness of matter. He replied, "Yes your Majesty. We will not let any enemy get in Rai."
Adi said nodding his head, "Very well. Guys, from today we will embark on a new path which will lead to a brilliant future for all. We have to do all we can and more. You all will be the leader of fields and later the ministers.
This meeting will be called as Council Meeting and you will report every two days about the progress and complications. If anything is urgent or requires immediate attention then look for me immediately. There should be no doubts."
General Pratap along with others agreed to follow the instructions. Then he asked, "Your Majesty we need more people but it will be hard to get them. A thousand men can't fight the men even from the various City Lords. How shall we proceed in this matter?"
Everyone turned to him with an inquiring look. Adi comforted them, "Don't worry. I will look into making more modern weapons. With them, our army can easily face enemies ten times their number, or even more. It will take few days but we are not in immediate danger. After that, whoever will come shall never leave here."
He had a cold glint in his eyes when he spoke. They understood what His Majesty was saying. Adi dismissed them to get to their work.
With that the first Council Meeting came to an end. Before Kaif left, Adi stopped him to ask, "Mr Kaif, do we have tools for mining now?"
Kaif answered, "Reporting to Your Majesty, we have few tools available now which includes pickaxes and others. Do you need them now Your Majesty?"
Adi replied, "Yes. I need tools for around fifty men. Please send the tools here so that we can go look for various ores."
After Kaif left, Adi started to think about all the arrangements he made. He wanted to check if anything was missed. All the basic necessities of people such as Residence, Food, Health, Army, Industry and Education was covered. Although all of it could be said to be just plans and not something great, it was better to take it step by step.
He was still not sure if there was anything missing, but then he remembered something. He still had not made someone who can maintain the accounts and treasury of the territory. It is extremely important to have a dedicated person to handle the exchequer so that the real position of funds would be clear at any time.
He pondered about the possible candidate for this position. As he could not think of anyone at present, he kept it aside for later. Until he finds someone fit for the job he will do it himself.
By then, the blacksmith had brought the tools he asked for. There where pickaxes, hammers and other tools. He inspected them and called for Ajit and his company. 50 of them were told to pick the tools as they went to the nearest iron ore site which was in the north.
They passed by the farms while going there. Adi could see Kali directing some people as they mixed the dumps and top soil from the forest and spreading it in the farms. Then they were ploughing it so as to mix with the soil present. Watching them Adi remarked in his mind,
'They have understood the process and are doing it right. Now we just have to wait for them to finish this operation and start sowing seeds. If there is enough water and sunlight, then we should have a good harvest soon.'
Adi suddenly thought about the water source here. He could not see any stream or river so maybe they get it from wells. But since there are marshes near the mountains and as he has never heard of water scarcity in past or at present, there must be some river or stream on the other side which was replenishing underground water level.
He noted it in his mind as he has to make plans for it too. While thinking all these, the group has now reached near the mine marked by system.
