Angpao Chinese New Year
Director of the Material Reserve Bureau Witana Sideng Rana was also worried. Of the three that were dismissed, two of them were under the Bureau of Material Reserves. As their director, it's appropriate that he should be blamed.
Witana Sideng Rana got up, bowed deeply, and exclaimed, “Your Majesty, please forgive my negligence!”
Heru Cokro waved his hand. “Director Witana, you are not here when both are appointed. I will not punish you. In addition, I hope the director can apply the rules and behavior correctly, so this will not continue to happen.”
Witana Sideng Rana nodded loudly, saying, “Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I will definitely work hard to improve the Material Reserve Bureau fundamentally and thoroughly, I will not disappoint the confidence of Your Majesty!”
Heru Cokro looked again at Mr. Kawis Guwa, asking, "Who is rated very well?"
“The first of the four people was in the Agriculture Division, named Surya Prakasa. He was in charge of water conservancy projects and was hailed by farmers as a person who loved to lead everyone in water projects. Besides, he has good political integrity.”
“The second person is a designer in the Construction Division named Hari Pranowo. The reason why the trench project went smoothly is because of this guy.”
“The third person is in Bank Nusantara, an employee named Yani. This person provides thoughtful, careful and meticulous service.”
“The fourth person is in Gudang Garam, named Samudro. He has in-depth knowledge of the salt making process.”
Mr. Kawis Guwa's comments are refined and sharply presented.
Heru Cokro slowly smiled hearing this, and said, “Well, this is an incredible talent and should be promoted. As I said, there will be penalties, there will be prizes. I have decided to appoint Surya Prakasa as Deputy Director of Agriculture, Hari Pranowo as Assistant Director of Construction, Yani as Assistant Director of Bank Nusantara and Samudro as Deputy Director of Gudang Garam.”
Mr. Kawis Guwa was a bit overwhelmed, hesitated for a moment, and in the end spoke. “Your Highness, I admit that Surya Prakasa and Samudro are very good, but promoting two people directly to be deputy director, isn't that a little excessive? Looks like the appointment as assistant director is more appropriate.”
Heru Cokro shook his head and replied, “Because these youngsters are so good, they must be promoted boldly to build a wider platform for them to thrive. As for the reason why I promote them is due to other considerations. Then Heru Cokro explained, because his officials had asked.
“First, since the establishment of Gudang Garam first time, no one has been watching him thoroughly. There are always others of a higher level who hold this office simultaneously. Therefore, I have decided Samudro to manage this division. If he can take the relay fire and run it well, of course I will not hesitate to promote it again.”
“Agricultural Division, handles many affairs.such as agriculture, plantation, and farm. Obviously it's difficult for Director Pusponegoro to handle it himself. Therefore, the appointment of a deputy director is indispensable. Not only this division, but the others were the same. Naturally, if there is a suitable candidate, the three of you can recommend it to me. With the continuous expansion of the territory, the area's efforts to train personnel reserves need to be increased. Give newcomers a chance to create more possibilities for the region.”
The three leaders nodded, accepting Heru Cokro's explanation. Heru Cokro had taken the time to explain all that because he did not want them to hesitate. Because if they do not communicate well, this will result in bias when it comes time to implement.
After dealing with the evaluation, the atmosphere in his office became less tense.
Siti Fatimah laughed and said, “Kakak, this will enliven the new year a little. Everyone had been looking forward to the rewards for their hard work all along. I hope you are ready to dry the wallet.”
Heru Cokro smiled and said, “Sure, I will reward those worth appreciating. Therefore, each division director received 1 gold coin, each division vice director received 80 silver coins, each assistant amounted to 50 silver coins. For evaluation results, government officials will receive 1 gold coin with a very good evaluation, and 30 silver for a good evaluation. This will be directly managed by the Financial Bureau.”
"you guys? Certainly not included in this provision. Rest assured that I prepared the gift myself. As for what it is, wait until tomorrow when I announce it, ”jurau Heru Cokro.
After finishing the discussion on the performance evaluation of low-level officials, Heru Cokro did not laze around and made his way towards the market.
Don't see that he was very confident in front of Fatimah, in fact he had not prepared any gifts for the three bureau directors. Since the gift is a gift for 3, not only should it not be shabby, but it should be classy and in accordance with their interests.
Since Kawis Guwa and Witana Sideng Rana were traditional government officials, giving them four literary heirlooms was definitely a good fit. The four literary treasures are paper, ink, pen, and ink slab.
A set of these four literary treasures was naturally expensive. The highest value was worth several thousand gold and was not something a small noble could afford. Even the most ordinary set had a price of 20 gold coins. Heru Cokro gritted his teeth and spent 40 gold coins on the two sets of sasra heirlooms.
And for Fatimah. This woman had the best performance among the three directors as well as her foster brother. So, the prize will be a little more special.
Gifts for Siti Fatimah are jewelry, jade, makeup, etc. Some kind of limited stuff. In the end, Heru Cokro chose a light and delicate jade made from white jade, symbolizing prosperity. In addition, he bought Laxmi a jade that cost 30 gold coins.
After returning to the ruling residence, Generals Giri and Wirama had been waiting for him in office, signaling badly for Heru Cokro.
Sure enough, even before he could sit down, General Giri said out loud, “Hehe~e, we heard that His Majesty has prepared a Chinese gift for government officials, will you give gifts to the soldiers in the army?”
Even the usually quiet and calm Wirama nodded his head loudly, indicating that the army had reached a consensus on this topic. Heru Cokro slapped his forehead, he knew that he definitely could not escape from this. Fortunately he had prepared for this situation and said teasingly, “Not bad, you guys know how to take the initiative. Say, what gift do you all want?”
General Giri laughed embarrassedly, saying, “I know that the last mission to exterminate the raider camp was not successful and left His Majesty disappointed. I will not ask for anything in return for myself, just give the soldiers money.”
Wirama followed, "That incident, I am also to blame, so I dare not ask for a gift from His Majesty."
Heru Cokro nodded, “Not bad, you guys still have self-awareness. What if it was like this, 10 sergeants and the Director of the Military Intelligence Division would each get 1 gold coin. The cavalry soldiers and the Military Intelligence Division all earned 10 silvers. While the soldiers of the new unit each get 1 silver. What say?"
Generals Giri and Wirama nodded their heads in delight. This was already considered a great gift, they did not dare to use more of Heru Cokro's time and left the ruling residence excitedly, spreading the good news to the army camp.
Heru Cokro had calculated that this prize cost 120 gold coins. Being a good boss is not an easy task, because there are many considerations to think about before doing everything.
He went to the next room and called Fatimah, gave her 50 gold coins and instructed her to give him an angpao according to the established reward standards.
At 6pm, the prize issue was resolved, Heru Cokro was out of the game.
