Chapter 9: Chapter 9: The Meeting Begins

"We will start this meeting with a report on the mission that has just been carried out by Hashirama." Ars' gaze stared at Hashirama, "Please Hashirama. Give your mission report for everyone to know."

Hashirama nodded and immediately pointed the microphone on his desk close to him.

"Some time ago I received a mission to travel to Water Seven Island. The mission given to me was to sell the wood produced by our kingdom to the Gally-La Company shipyard located on Water Seven Island. This mission was a success. I managed to sell 100 thousand units of our wood to the shipyard at a price of 500 thousand berries per unit. The payments made by them to us used the 50:50 method on the proposal that Ars gave them all with a 10% discount if they used that payment method"

"The total payment for all the timber we sold to the Gally-La Company shipyard was 50 billion berries. However, due to the discount cut given by us to them, they only had to pay 45 billion berries. Meanwhile, the payment method we use is the 50:50 payment method. We only received 22.5 billion berries and the rest we paid for the purchase of materials that are currently needed in the construction of this royal building. All materials and money used in payment have been received by me. The materials are currently stored in each warehouse according to the relevant department by my clone while the money is currently stored in this storage bracelet of mine."

"Then, there were also several other additional tasks given to me, namely the purchase of a set of equipment placed in the building which will later be used by the workers as many as 1000 units have been successfully buzzed, Purchase of ingredients and food seasonings, Purchase of rice seeds, vegetables, and fruit, and also the purchase of a set of room equipment that will be used in the rooms on board as many as 1000 units. Currently, all these items have been successfully purchased and are currently stored and managed by my clone"

"Apart from the mission. There is also other work that I do while carrying out the mission given to me. The mission is to become a pirate hunter. In this work, I have managed to collect as many as 2.5 billion berries on this work. The money from becoming a pirate hunter was also stored in the storage bracelet that was currently being used by me. That's the report."

"Good job" Ars nodded and continued, "Soon after this meeting is over. You immediately went to save all the money you got into the royal palace's warehouse. Then you go to Kaguya to report the expenses for this mission."

"I understand." Hashirama nodded.

Ars gaze then looked at Kaguya, "You record the financial amount we have and give it to me in the form of a document. No need to be too complicated in the recording. The most important thing is that it can still be read well and is not complicated."

"I see" Kaguya nodded

"Okay. We're on to our next topic of conversation. Currently, we already have the materials to build houses and infrastructure in this kingdom. However, at the moment we still don't have the manpower to do this. I currently have a plan to recruit a large number of people to accelerate the construction of this empire that we have." Ars' gaze then turned to Kaijin and the others, "How many workers do you need?"

Kaijin immediately brought his microphone closer, "The four of us have talked about this before. Each of us needed 125 workers who would later work under our leadership. We have a plan to form 5 teams where each team will contain 25 members and each team will handle the construction of a building. This can also help increase the speed of the kingdom's development, especially regarding the problem of houses that will later be occupied by residents who are planned to be built in large numbers."

"I see" Ars nodded and his gaze fell on Saiba and the others, "What about you guys? Do you need an additional chef who will assist in preparing breakfast, lunch, and breakfast for us and the workers in the future?"

"Not yet, Ars" Gin immediately answered as he brought his microphone closer, "We can still handle it if it's only that amount"

"Yes," Jouichirou nodded and said, "The number 450 alone is still quite a bit. We can still handle it although the number will still increase. As long as the number of workers still has not penetrated 1000 workers. We can still deal with the problem of the food they eat."

"After all, the kitchen that we got to use has excellent facilities. With a kitchen like that, it's easy to handle that large number of workers" Kojiro replied calmly.

"Well then, for the chef's section there will be no additional workers," Ars said while looking at Kaguya, "What about your department? Do you want to recruit employees to work under your leadership?"

"Just like Joichirou and the others. Right now I can still handle if the money our kingdom has is less than 100 billion berries. There is no need for additional employees for my department" Kaguya replied calmly.

"I think we should estimate the number of royal palace maids who will be recruited later." Lowellmina said calmly, "Because with us recruiting a large number of construction workers in our kingdom. We also need waiters who help in removing any food they eat and also cleaning all the utensils used. Besides, we currently have a royal palace. We are obliged to recruit servants to assist in cleaning this royal palace."

Ars nodded, "How many do you think we need to recruit?"

"We can recruit as many as 50 royal palace maids." Hashirama said calmly, "I think that amount alone is sufficient for now in handling the matter of cleaning the royal palace and also helping in preparing dishes and cleaning all the tableware that will be used by the construction workers later."

"50 servants, huh? I think that's a good amount. Not too much and not too little either. We can arrange 35 people to do the task of keeping the royal palace clean while the other 15 maids will be in charge of handling the problems of the dishes that the construction workers will eat and also cleaning the tableware used" Lowellmina replied calmly.

"I agree with Iowa's words," Kaguya said, "50 servants is neither too much nor too little. That's a sufficient number for us to recruit at this time."

Ars nodded and looked at the others, "What do you think?"

All of them had the same voice as Hashirama and the others. They agreed with the decision to recruit 50 servants who would later work in the royal palace.

"Okay. Currently, we will have a plan to recruit 500 construction workers as well as 50 royal palace maids" Ars gaze then looked at Kaijin and the others, "The four of you will be in charge of recruitment matters for construction workers"

"We understand." Kaijin and the others nodded seriously.

Ars' gaze then turned to Lowellmina, "As for the maids of the royal palace. Iowa, this task will be left to you."

"I see." Lowellmina nodded.

"Ars, if we are going to do the recruitment. It would be best if Iowa and the others were provided with an information crystal ball. With the crystal ball, we can find out the information possessed by people who come to apply for jobs to us. At the same time, we can know whether they are spies sent by the World Government or not" Hashirama said in a serious tone.

"Stay cool. I have thought about this" Ars nodded, "Later on, you will also come along with them during this task. You will be their guard during this recruitment task."

"I understand." Hashirama nodded.

Ars' gaze then turned to Saiba and the others, "Which of the three of you wants to accompany them? They must be followed by one of you to meet their food needs."

Instantly Jouichirou immediately raised his hand with an excited look, "Let me go, Ars"

Ars didn't feel strange about Jouichirou's response since Jouichirou is someone who likes to travel and see new things.

"What do you two think? Do you agree with Jouichirou leaving?"

"I don't have a problem with that" Gin nodded.

"Yes. With him gone, I can be free from his distractions." Kojiro said in a slightly annoyed tone.

"Hey, hey, Kojiro. Let's just say, you're just annoyed that you can't make a dish better than me" Jouichirou immediately said with a grin.

"What did you say?!" As usual, Kojiro was immediately provoked by this.

"You two!" Gin said seriously, "Stop your stupid bickering right now! we're in a meeting now! If you want to fight, do it after this."

"Hmph!" Jouichirou and Kojiro immediately sniffed with discontent while turning their faces back to the front.

"Thank you Gin," Ars said with a smile which got a nod from Gin.

"Ars, regarding the workers we will recruit later. How about we offer them to become citizens of our kingdom?" Hashirama gave a suggestion.

"That was my plan" Ars nodded, "Later at the time of recruitment. We will try to offer whoever is chosen to become a worker, we will offer to become a citizen of our kingdom in exchange for a second unit house and a third unit house that we will build later. We just need to adjust how many family members they have. If they have family members as many as 3-4 people. we can arrange for them to house the second unit. Meanwhile, if their family members are more than 4 people. We will arrange it to the third unit house"

Ars paused for a moment and continued again, "Besides, at the time of recruitment later. We will divide into two types of workers. Ordinary workers and contract workers"

"Ordinary workers and contract workers?" Kaguya asked while raising her brow.

"Ordinary worker is an employee whose salary will be paid every month. Meanwhile, contract workers are workers whose salaries have been paid in full for 3 months. These contract workers are workers who still have families and currently, they are the backbone of the family. We will immediately pay their full salary for 3 months so that the money can be used by their families while waiting for their families to be picked up and brought to this kingdom."

"In that case, it can be said that ordinary workers are workers who only live to provide for themselves?" Lowellmina asked.

"Yes." Ares nodded.

"How much salary will we give to the workers, Ars?" Gin asked in a serious tone.

"At this time it has not been determined. Determination of this salary will also be discussed at this meeting." Ars paused and continued, "In your opinion, how much salary should be given?" Ars' gaze stared at Kaguya, "The value of money in this world is the same as the value of money where you lived before."

Ars' gaze then turned to Jouichirou and the others, "Same with you guys too. The value of this world's money is the same as the value of the money you use at your place."

"Regarding the salary issue, I'll skip this matter, Ars," Kaijin said as he raised his hand, "I don't have any understanding of this"

"We too" Garm and the others also added.

"No problem" Ars nodded and looked at Kaguya and the others, "How much do you think?"

Kaguya touched her chin and thought for a moment, "Usually the workers who worked at the place where I lived before their average monthly income ranged from 300 thousand yen to 400 thousand yen"

"300 thousand yen to 400 thousand yen, is that a lot?" Lowellmina asked with great interest.

"That's a very small amount" Jouichirou suddenly said, "If indeed the value of money in our world is the same as that of this world, then the value of our money is the same as that of Kaguya's residence. 300 thousand to 400 thousand berries alone that value is quite a bit. Usually, that amount can only be used by one person to meet his needs."

"For this time, I agree with Jouichirou's opinion," Kojiro said seriously, "If we want to regulate the income that the citizens of our kingdom receive at least don't give them a low income. We can adjust the income they get as much as 700 thousand berries to 800 thousand berries. Don't forget about the bonuses they get through their work attitude. Because usually, the employees themselves will have a salary that is received outside of their basic salary"

Gin nodded, "We need to sort out the issue of giving bonuses to their work attitude problem, Ars. This is something that must be done so that workers can work with enthusiasm to aim for the bonus."

"Before discussing the bonus issue. Shouldn't we discuss the issue of base salary first?" Kaguya asked, "Or, is it final with the salary value given by Kojiro?"

"I myself have no problem with the 700 thousand to 800 thousand salaries that will be given to them later," Jouichirou said calmly, "After all, it's just the basic salary they get. There is still a salary from the bonuses they can get from their work attitude. Of course, the salary obtained from the work attitude bonus will not be very small compared to the basic salary that will be received later, right?"

"What do you think, Gin? Do you agree with the salary value that will be given later?" asked Ars while looking at Gin.

"No problem" Gin nodded, "That value in itself is already high enough for a base salary issue. Usually, such a salary will only be obtained by someone who holds the position of a manager in a company."

"What about you, Kaguya? Do you still have an opinion on this?" Ars asked back while looking at Kaguya.

Kaguya thought for a moment then said, "Will our kingdom ever have taxes?"

"Sure" Ars nodded, "We will also discuss that later in this meeting"

"I see" Kaguya nodded and continued, "In that case, I have no problem with the value of the base salary. However, we also need to adjust the bonuses given to those workers. In my opinion, 500 thousand berries are enough to give them as a bonus that they get through their work attitude. With an additional 500 thousand from their basic salary. The monthly salary they can get has exceeded the 1 million berry mark"

"500 thousand berries, huh? I think that's a good amount" Ars nodded and looked the other way, "What do you think?"

"No opinion," Gin said, "The value given by Kaguya is the same as the value I had thought of before"

Jouichirou and Kojiro had no problem with this either.

"Okay. Then it has been determined. The salary that will be given to the workers is 750 thousand berries as the value of the determination while they will also get a bonus salary for their work attitude which is worth 500 thousand berries. Up to this point, does anyone have any other opinions?"

No one has an opinion because everyone agrees on this.
