Chapter 144: Reconstruction Discussion

"I think we've been able to get into the next discussion, right? Regarding the issue of territorial reconstruction?" Isshiki asked with a calm smile.

Everyone nodded.

"Regarding the issue of territorial reconstruction owned by the Kingdom of Alabasta." Shiina's gaze immediately turned to Ars, "Your Majesty, we have previously discussed the issue of the construction of the main road whose function is to connect between cities and also to be an inter-island link owned by the Kingdom of Alabasta. The reconstruction that we will later carry out in the Kingdom of Alabasta will also concern the problem of river construction."

Shiina paused and continued, "Regarding the matter of the river, how about we build it beside the main road"

"Beside him?" Nezuko asked, "What do you mean we built the river following the main road construction path?"

"Exactly" Shiina nodded, "Although later the desert area will be transformed into a forest area. However, the distance between the cities owned by the Kingdom of Alabasta is quite far. The residents there also always use an animal as a medium of transportation. The construction of the river that follows the flow of the main route is to facilitate the animals which will be used as a medium of transportation as a place for them to drink and rest. That way, the animals will have no difficulty in finding water to meet their needs."

"I also agree with this idea" Kaguya nodded, "The construction of the river following the path of the main road is a thing we can implement. In addition to the functions described by Shiina before. The construction of the river following the main road path also helps us save energy and time in building the river path later."

"I also support this" Yoshino nodded, "In addition to being able to be used by animals, which will later be used as transportation by the citizens of the Kingdom of Alabasta. The river can also be used as a drinking place for animals in the Kingdom of Alabasta. The river itself must be able to touch every part of an area so that the animals in the Kingdom of Alabasta do not have difficulty in finding water for their needs."

"The construction of the river following the main road is a good idea" Gin nodded in agreement with this, "With the existence of a river that can take the entire territory of the Kingdom of Alabasta. Later, every soil in the area will always be in a moist state where it can continue to maintain better soil quality. With good soil quality, trees, and plants in the region will always be able to be maintained properly. That way, our kingdom no longer needs to pay attention to the problem of trees that if at any time experience damage problems due to drought and others. We were able to stop that at an early stage in the reconstruction period. During the period of this initial stage, it proceeded successfully and each part complemented the others. In the future, we will have to do maintenance for the bridge problem which will be built using hashirama's wooden elements."

Ars nodded and felt that this idea offered by Shiina was really good.

"Are there any other opinions on this?" Ars asked calmly.

Everyone has no one to express their opinions anymore.

"Because no one has issued his opinion. I think we will use this idea in the construction of the river" Ars said, "Well, now, regarding the issue of lake construction"

"The construction of lakes must be built in every city in the Kingdom of Alabasta, Your Majesty" Eina said seriously, "As we know that the Kingdom of Alabasta is a kingdom that urgently needs the willingness of water. Although later the territory of the Kingdom of Alabasta will be turned into a forest. However, we cannot give up the idea of not building a lake in every city in the Kingdom of Alabasta."

"That's right" Rin nodded, "The construction of this lake is also to maintain the stability of the existing humidity in the surrounding area as conveyed by Gin before. With the lakes in the region, the land around the area, especially for the area of these cities, will always be fertile because it has water availability. In addition, take back the previous topic. With the lake in each city, residents can build a pet resting place that they usually use as mounts there."

"Speaking of the construction of the lake," Isshiki said, "Don't forget, we have to pay attention to where the water sources that will be used to flow through rivers and lakes come from. At the very least, we have to build the main lake in the kingdom which will later become the main point of flowing water."

"The construction of the main lake you suggested that we can do in the area where the desert animals live for the island area on the right that is on the map," Lowellmina said calmly, "The construction there is also to stop the availability of water for the animals living there. In addition, because the area there has a large area, we don't need to be afraid to consider the construction of a large lake. The larger the lake built, the better"

Lowellmina paused and continued, "As for the left-hand map, we can build the main lake that is on the island on the left side of Rainbase Town"

Lowellmina then turned her attention to Robin, "Robin, does the territory of the Kingdom of Alabasta have any problems in terms of height order?"

"Height order?" Robin asked puzzledly.

"For example, the top on the map like Rainbase City has a higher land compared to the bottom on the map like Yuba City," Lowellmina said.

"I don't think there is anything like it" Robin shook her head, "The land in the Kingdom of Alabasta is a flat land unless indeed the land has mountains formed from various kinds of sand that are there"

"If that's the case. I don't think it's a problem for us to build in any area for the main lake" Ikumi said, "Moreover, the plains in the territory of the Kingdom of Alabasta are flat and do not follow the order of high and low."

"Still. I think it's better to do the construction of the main lake, especially for the island on the left side of Rainbase City" Lowellmina said, "If you look at the size of the territory through this map, the size of the area in the area is larger than other areas. Meanwhile, the area in the middle of the map is indeed very large. However, as we know that later in the middle of the region especially in the middle of the strait, a bridge will be built to connect the two regions."

"I guess the problem of building the bridge has nothing to do with this" Rin suddenly said, "The area in the central region on the map is very large. We can consider building the main lake there. The same thing we can do on the island on the right side. Regarding the construction of habitats where desert animals lived before. I think we can build the territory a little bit more below the previous place. I noticed the area was a little smaller than we had anticipated. Meanwhile, if we build in an area slightly below, there is a very large area there. Then for the problem of lake construction, we can build it right in the middle of the island. Whether it's the island on the left or the island on the right"

Rin paused, "Although the construction of this lake is also, we can't do it right close to the location where the bridge will be built later. We will build the lake right in the middle of the island and later the lake can be used as a tourist spot for the Kingdom of Alabasta. Moreover, with the construction of the main lake in the central region of the Kingdom of Alabasta, it can be a start for them to start construction in the territory."

"I'm sorry, Lowa" Kaguya said with a smile, "However, I am inclined to the opinion given by Rin. Compared we had to do the construction of a lake in the upper region which was close to a city. I leaned more toward the opinion of building the main lake right in the middle of the island. My opinion is also the same regarding the beginning of development. The construction of the lake can be used as a prelude to the development of the territory. As well as the construction of playgrounds and others. That way, the Kingdom of Alabasta will have other sources of income for their kingdom"

"You don't have to apologize, Kaguya. Everyone has different opinions." Lowellmina returned her with a smile, "In addition, after hearing the advice given by Rin. I think the advice given by him is better. Then also, consider the plains that exist in the Kingdom of Alabasta. I think this suggestion we can use"

"If this is the case, wouldn't it also change the previous idea?" Megumi asked, "Regarding the construction of dwellings for desert animals"

"Of course" Eina nodded, "The previous idea of building a desert animal habitat right on the right side of Alurbana City was not a good idea after hearing the idea given, Rin. It is the size of the area that is the problem. The animals that exist in the desert itself, especially for an area as large as the Kingdom of Alabasta, must be very numerous."

"Well, regarding the previous idea" Ars suddenly spoke, "Heard this idea issued by Rin. I think we can change that. The idea given by Rin is better than the previous idea we discussed. Good job, Rin"

"Hmph! Don't think I'll be happy after you compliment me, Your Majesty," Rin said as she sniffed then turned her attention towards the side with a blushing face.

Ars' gaze then turned to Shiina, "Have you recorded all those points?"

"It's all recorded, Your Majesty" Shiina nodded.

Ars nodded and his gaze returned to everyone, "The discussion on the connecting bridge has been completed, the discussion on the construction of the main road has been completed, and finally the discussion on the issue of territorial reconstruction for the construction of forests, rivers, and lakes has been completed. Is there anything we still need to discuss again?"

Everyone no one opened their voices.

"I think we have discussed everything, Your Majesty" Nakamura said, "Moreover, the task of our kingdom is only to carry out the reconstruction of the territory and it is not the task of building the territory. In addition, regarding the idea for the construction of bridges and also main roads. I guess that's also not part of the task we have to do."

"No need to feel that way" Ars smiled, "Make it a bonus for them. In addition, it is possible that later when the bridge was completed. The Kingdom of Alabasta will ask us to name the bridge"

"Named the bridge?" Hashirama's eyes immediately lit up like a child, "Your Majesty, if that is the case, let me give the bridge a name"

"You?" Ars was surprised to hear this, "Can you do it, Hashirama?"

"Of course. I can do it" Hashirama nodded vigorously.

"Well, if it is indeed the Kingdom of Alabasta, we will ask us to give the bridge a name. It's up to you. You can give a name to the bridge. After all, you are also the one who built the bridge. You are more blessed to do it"

"Thank you" Hashirama at this time was full of joy at the moment of hearing this.

Rayleigh chuckled softly, "Hashirama, he almost looks like Roger. Even if it weren't for their different looks. I almost thought this Hashirama was Roger"

"Is it because of this that you often follow him?" Shakky asked.

"Not really" Rayleigh shook his head, "It's enough for me to take care of, Roger. I don't want to take care of others of the same nature as him"

"Then it seems that the discussion for the issue of territorial reconstruction is over," Ars said then his gaze turned towards Rayleigh, Shakky, and Robin, "Rayleigh, Shakky, and Robin. Thank you for taking part in this meeting. With your presence and the advice and also the information you provide, this meeting can go very well and get various kinds of common ground related to the things we are currently looking for."

The three of them nodded with a smile.

"I apologize for this. But, we will continue the meeting but the three of you cannot participate in the next meeting" Ars said apologetically, "The next meeting is a meeting that discusses the issue of royal secrets and also various kinds of things where the three of you do not have the authority to know about it. I'm sorry to go back"

"Your Majesty doesn't need to apologize," Robin said with a smile, "We know this"

Rayleigh and Shakky nodded. They have even been very grateful to be able to participate in this meeting even though their contribution is very small. They were happy to join this meeting because they finally knew how the intensity was going on in the meeting room of the Fortis Kingdom. They also know how difficult it is to be able to participate in the meeting if they don't know. They also knew that the bigwigs of the Fortis Empire were almost all knowledgeable people. Especially for Robin, who has a note in her to improve his knowledge so that when she is called to a meeting like this. She will not have an obstacle that can make a great contribution.

Rayleigh, Shakky, and Robin. The three of them immediately stood up from their seats and then walked out of the room. After the three of them went out, the meeting resumed with a deeper discussion than before.
