Another week has passed peacefully. The execom members and I were having our morning tea when we saw a group of Imperial Guards and an excited looking man.
He was walking hurriedly while using a bamboo fan and busily fanning himself, while his Imperial Guards surrounded him in a formation as if he was a commander in a Roman Army. We looked at the group that was approaching and we just clucked our tongue.
The man in the middle was the Mayor himself and he was waving at us when he approaches us and when the other workers who were rising their break, bowed low. And as for us, we just waved at him back. An eye for an eye, a wave for a wave. Hahahaha.
When he reached our table, only then we stood up and bowed at him and he just waved us off with his fan.
"Omagai... Why are you in a hurry for? And you look so sweaty... Lucky you smelled like Karada Soap... Hahahaha. Your Excellency, give your fan to your man and make him useful... "
"Come, let me pour you tea since you poured us twice before. By the way, since you are here, please join us for our morning break. Your men can leave your sides and let them take a break at the meal shed there."
"Your Excellency, you have horses right? Why don't you ride the next time... Its a distance from your castle to here. Men, don't be afraid, no one is going to harm Your Excellency here and no one is going to get poisoned here. Go and take a break, you all looked like you had run a marathon."
I commanded the Imperial Guards and the Mayor just waved them off to take a break while one had to be the black sheep and fan his master. I looked back at the 'aunties' and nodded while I pointed using just a slight movement of my head towards the Imperial Guards while I pointed a V sign at them. Not victory but 2.
The Mayor was heaving to catch his breath and drank the tea that I had offered for him and one of the 'aunties' served 2 pieces of the snack that we were having and I pushed the saucer to the Mayor. I poured another cup and this time he drank slowly.
The other Imperial Guards were enjoying their break. The snack that we were having was called a multi-layered multi colour cake. It was made by rice flour that been individually coloured and was steamed in rectangular trays.
The more layers there are, the longer the process as each layer had to be steamed, then another colour was added and then steamed again. The process continues until you ran out of ideas on colours or simply ran out of patience, on when you could enjoy this rice flour pudding. Hahahaha.
The pudding had a hint of coconut milk and sugar and the small of screw pine extract. It actually goes well with coffee and I could only drink coffee when I go off set. On-screen, Japan had green tea and we used a bit of peppermint for flavour.
"What's this snack? I have never seen so many colours on it and it looks springy and smells so delicious!"
"Your Excellency, try eating like this..." I held the piece and stuck my tongue to lick one layer off and chew... "Mmmmmmmm..... This is the right way and the only way to eat this. Anyone caught eating any other way would have their tongue pulled by hot tongs! Hahaha!"
The mayor copied the way of me eating it and soon his face was filled with a sense of delight as he closed his eyes and chew on the soft layer of pudding."
"Must we really like this? Why can't we just bite into it?"
"Your Excellency, we must show our appreciation when we eat this kind of cake because of the lengthy process to make every single steamed and proper before another colour was added."
"When the one prepared it we enjoy a piece like this, they feel honoured. Furthermore, if we just bite into it... There's no sense of enjoying it and we finished them in 3 bites."
"If you eat the way I showed you, it would take a longer time to finish one piece and we can relax and talk on why Your Excellency was in a hurry to get here... Is it because Your Excellency smelled this snack and came here to investigate?"
Kami heard and can't stop laughing and that made everyone laugh as well including the mayor.
"Your Excellency you can ask your man here to stop fanning you. It's quite breezy here in the open and your man can go and have the morning snack. I see him kept swallowing his saliva and soon he would be full by it alone."
Hearing my words, the mayor waved him off and he went to join his Comrades. He sat there and told them to eat this way and not bite the chucks of it.
This is to show appreciation, and if not their tongues would be pulled out by hot tongs! They were in shock and some of them immediately bowed to the 'aunties' and returned to their seat.
"This is the first colourful layer of pudding cake I have tasted. Your cooks really are an expert that is comparable to our cooks from the Palace but I don't think they know how to make this."
"Ah...we have a suggestion box here on what they want to eat for lunch or breakfast and our cooks will cook for everyone's lunch and dinner accordingly. In this way, we won't get stuck of eating the same thing over and over again."
"Just like having a wife at home. Don't tell me we are going to eat her everyday right? Sometimes we also need to eat other types of clams... Nom... Nom... Nom...!"
Hearing this from an 11-year-old kid referring to eating fresh clams as cunningilus, they were shocked at first then laughed out loud raucously. The residents and the employees look at us and were surprised seeing their mayor sitting with the execom members just like old friends.
I raised my hands and said, "I can sense something..." And I placed my forefinger in my temples and closed my eyes. "I know why Your Excellency came here in a hurry...because you have news that is too good to wait for us to go to Your Excellency'Castle... Am I right?"
"How do you know that?"
"If not, then why are Your Excellency is in a hurry to rush over here holding that parchment and your men were holding on to a blueprint and other papers, right? Haaaaa...."
"Your Excellency can't hide it from me you know... I can read your mind and your thoughts, for I am the greatest detective... Sherlock Holmes! Hahahahaha... "
When the execom heard me sputtering nonsense, they knew I was joking and everyone at the table laughed again...
"Alright, Your Excellency, it is your turn to speak. I want to go off the screen and drink some coffee... This snack goes very well with coffee and not green tea. I am getting sick with green tea that my pee also turned green!"
The men laughed again as I snuck at Max's trailer and took a swig of Starbucks Iced Frappuccino and went back to the garden and sat down.
"The Emperor is pleased with your positive feedback regards the financial support to the Treasury that he even passed a decree to let you have 2 lands in both sides of your business area under his orders."
"The Emperor had great faith in your vision that he would pass down to the Prefecture under his influence to give the fullest support to Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha. Whether its the Blacksmith Alliance, Cosmetics Department, The Treasury or even the Governmental buildings."
"So the wider the influence, the easier for Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha to spread its wings and outreach to them since the Emperor will make known of your corporation and to give the fullest support."
"In time to come, the total population count may even hit 40-50 thousand. So any Prefecture Under his influence, be it a small settlement, village, town or cities would greatly be benefitted in the long run."
I raised my cup and cheered, "Long Live His Majesty!" and was followed with the rest.
So we will acquire 4 new plots of land that would be on our left and right, which comprises a total of 12 new warehouses. With the current count of 4 warehouses, we are going into a full Industrialisation Era.
This is where a single warehouse would represent an individual production of a single product that will be able to house 50 line workers each per shift and the total manpower would definitely hit 800 employees per shift and a total of 2400 employees with a salary of more than 15,000 fold coins per month.
The output and generated sales would be least 10-15 folds meaning we would have an estimated deposit of 12,000,000 per month on a down low or 15,000,000 on a high.
"We are up for it. No problem, I accept it as a challenge to climb Mount Fuji by wearing underwear walking backwards and using a mirror to guide me where I have to go."
I used a metaphor that sounded so impossible and drastic that they laughed again.
"Here, here's a copy of the Emperor's decree, the 4 land titles that had been changed to the owners and beneficiaries of Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha and here are the 4 Plot and Land blueprints."
The Mayor handed me the decree and he signalled one of the Imperial Guard for the title deed and blueprints.
"Excuse me, Your Excellency... Does this mean that the residents on our side were chased out from their homes? Where are they going after this? Hide asked with concern because once a decree is passed down, especially from the Emperor, they had no choice but to vacate the land.
"Ah...don't you worry about it. The Emperor had compensated them with 400 gold coins each and they would be packing to leave as we speak. We had shown the decree and had given them the sum of money to either build another house within the outer district or move to the town or city for their retirement.¥
"If they chose to stay here, the land at the outermost only costs them 20 gold coins and they could even shift their houses material. A decree was passed to the local bed and breakfast to accommodate them until their house is complete."
"The Emperor is not a man with an iron fist and a heartless man. He thinks just like you, young man. Swift decision, swift actions. His wife Her Highness was even named Taylor Swift."
"Give me some time while I talk to the neighbours. Please excuse me, Your Excellency." I stood up, bowed and visited all the neighbours that were affected by the sudden move by a decree that was issued by the Emperor.
The affected residents confirmed that they had to move, and were happy since the construction of their new houses would be free, they also received compensation as well, and there's no property tax as they had been forced out from their land.
They can build a 2 storey house this time and not pay a single bronze coin. The money they received was more than enough. Furthermore, what's good for this village was also good for them because they heard that this village will soon flourish as a town.
I was grateful for their understanding and told them that main priority would be their houses first as 8 new double storeys would be built and it would take about 80 men to build and construct a house in a week or 10 days.
I returned back to the table and joined the rest.
"I had confirmed with all 8 residents about their forced relocation. They won't mind as they preferred to stay back here." I then explain their plans and we're happy that this village would soon blossom into a town."
"I can see that you are a born leader. I can't even move freely as my guards would be on my tail every now and then. I can't even breathe or even fart properly when they are around."
"It's hard being in my position as everything is monitored so I could maintain a high stature in this position. I wish I could be like you guys without any care or whatsoever on this world."
Just then one of the 'aunties' came over and asked,"Young Master, will His Excellency and his men are staying for dinner?"
"Of course he is staying for dinner. He wants to savour the fine cuisine that you had been whipping for the employees of Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha and how he wished to be commoner like us." I replied with a smile and had forced the Mayor and his men to stay for dinner.
"By the way, what's your menu for dinner tonight?"
"Young Master, we are serving steamed rice, squid in black ink and chives, Kushikatsu and fishball soup with mustard vegetables and baby sweet corn."
"Ah, must be someone request today."
"That's right, Young Master. It's actually a 2 person's request. Be right back while I serve dinner." she bowed and left. A few minutes later a large bowl or fishball soup came with the rest of the dishes and steamed rice.
"Itadakimasu" we blessed the food before us and began to eat.
"What do you feel when you eat among the commoners like us?"
"Young man, your meals is better than mine and its fit for a King."
"Yup, King Sin, the young proprietor of Jambalaya Restaurant that I had sold my recipes of the Authentic Hainanese Chicken Rice and PaddThai for 500,000 Philippines Pesos."
I thought to myself as I had shown a full demonstration and then guided their head chef on how to prepare it and correcting the procedures. It was a 6 hours ordeal in the kitchen just how complicated the process was.
After the Mayor had eaten his dinner with us and the Imperial Guards had theirs too, he excused himself as he wanted to leave when he suddenly let out a long, loud burp.
"If you are not allowed to fart anyhow, how about burping? Is it the same as well as farting through the other end?"
The execom members heard me and they laughed hysterical again which means the Mayor had a foul mouth but luckily the Mayor never fully understand it and laughed along which made the men laughed even louder.
The Mayor soon stood up and the Imperial Guards came to us, bowed and thank us for the hospitality.
"Your Excellency, if you're tired of eating food in the Castle, come over anytime and join us for lunch or dinner here." I casually invited the mayor and he nodded and said he will, next time.
We bowed to him and he bowed back and let out a fart... There it goes... Mustard gas! Hahahahaha.....

He was soon surrounded by the Imperial Guards and soon marched out and went back.
I took the decree, land title deeds and the blueprint for the 4 plot and land. After looking at it I passed to the rest of the men. They were amazed at what I could do at a tender age of 11 and instead of going to school, decides to open a corporation and turn it into an empire!
With just a short discussion, we had easily secured 4 plot of land free of charge for our corporation, and the residents that were involved with the forced relocation were compensated well enough.
By the name of Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha, we were suddenly thrown into the limelight and was highly favoured by His Majesty. Our corporation's name spread like an uncontrolled wildfire throughout neighbouring Prefecture and through His Majesty, every village, town, cities would be dealing business with us due to Hus Majesty's mention.
I can't help it but mention "God Bless Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha!" and the men chorused. All we need to do is make regular deposits and let the amount in it grow.
Once the new warehouses are erected and a new production line is in place, it would be a start of a new industrialisation era for Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha and the girls from Jiyu Residence would be promoted to Plant Managers.
Once it is in full swing, Hiko-sama, the 4 Regional Managers, the new Plant Managers and I would all hold shares in the corporation. Hiko-sama would hold a 58% shares, I will hold 10% shares, each Regional Manager a 5% shares while the Plant Managers 2% shares each.
I would make a deed and have it notarized in the Treasury. At the meantime, the beneficiaries in the corporate account book would all have their names in it and a deed of a compiled name list would be handed to the Treasury for safekeeping.
An individual shares allocation would be made with each name and the shares indicated in them and it would also be notarized by the Treasury.
I had plans, BIG plans and it would be beneficial with the benefactors if Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha. Anyone disagree can write in our forum and if everyone agrees, please remain and forever hold your peace... Not that PISS but P-E-A-C-E.
I sat there thinking this is the tight and only way to show my appreciation to those who had served Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha in a selflessly and determined positive attitude.
Even though it started from scratch or simply smelting weapon parts until the while ground was cleared from any metal parts and also the crappy junk from the head of building and construction.
From nothing we have something and Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha would rise from the cauldrons of molten steel!
