The Yai Semar Ancestor Ceremony
After waking up, she did not wear her usual leather clothes, but rather wore the woven gown that Laxmi made for her. The reason is because this is the day of the new year, Jawa Dwipa will hold a ritual sacrifice.
Exactly at 7am, everyone had gathered in the front square of the ancestral hall. Even residents of Java Dwipa who are a bit far away like children of the Pantura region wake up early and take a boat to attend the sacrifice ceremony.
The director of the Kawis Guwa Administration Bureau was the priestess of the ritual. While the director of Witana Sideng Rana is responsible for the offerings. When Heru Cokro arrived, the ritual officially began.
The ancestral hall of Java Dwipa pays homage to Yai Semar. The first step is to light a candle and place it in front of the altar. The second stage is to burn incense with a number of 3 or 9 incense sticks. Then the incense is raised to the forehead three times by saying; the presence of the Almighty God in the most high place, be glorified! Before the Confucian prophet, our guide, our life-revealer, be glorified! Finally, say before the saints and ancestors whom we honor, be glorified!
The third step is to put hio or incense on youlu. The position of each incense stick, must be considered carefully.because the first incense is placed in the middle, then the second incense is placed on the right, and the last incense is placed on the left.
After putting incense on youlu, is praying with Pat Tik's attitude. The attitude of Pat Tik is an attitude in the congregation where between the right and left palms in an open position, then the left hand scoops the back of the right hand and the thumbs of the hands meet to form the letters Jien or Ren, then close to the chest, and read the prayer; the presence of Thian the Great, the Great, in the place of the Most High, with the guidance of the Holy Prophet, be glorified! May we bow down, as a consecrated statement to our ancestors, we pray that the Lord will please, for his spirits, always in the light of the glory of the Thian virtue, he said, until the peace and tranquility of the Eternal One may always be upon him.
After reading the prayer, then ending with Ting Lee's attitude, this attitude was used to convey his utmost respect. The position of the attitude is that the hands are rounded in the heart, then lowered to below the navel, and then raised up to the top of the forehead.
these 5 steps, everything goes with close supervision. None of these steps are done haphazardly.
Pukup 08.00, the whole process has been completed. After praying to Yai Semar, everyone moves to Dhruwa Temple and begins the ritual sacrifice for Dhruwa. Other temples include Anila, Anala, Pratyusa and Soma. As a recognized belief in Java Dwipa, the ritual is grand and comparable to the ritual performed in the ancestral temple, Yai Semar.
After the whole ritual is over, the time has shown at 13:00. Heru Cokro saw the time was enough, he called Notonegoro and Agus Subiyanto to come to his office.
After they sat down, he smiled and asked, “How are the conditions in Pantura?”
“Thank you for Your Majesty's attention. Pantura is on the right track. We successfully promoted it to RT level before the new year. The design of the region followed the initial plan of Java Dwipa. At the same time, we also built a port near the mouth of the river.” Notonegoro.
Heru Cokro nodded his head. “Good, very fast development. What are your next plans?”
“We will slow down a little! Because we want to strengthen the foundation and build the perfect structure for Pantura.” Notonegoro said carefully.
Heru Cokro shook his head and said, “No, it's too conservative. I plan to leave the fishermen under the jurisdiction of Pantura. In addition, after the activation of the expansion of the third phase of Gudang Garam and fish farming, the population of Pantura will increase exponentially. Therefore, I need Pantura to immediately reach the RW level. So when Jawa Dwipa reached the base village, Pantura had to be a hamlet by then.”
“Jawa Dwipa has leveled up quite quickly, it's time to take a break and keep the profile low for a while. I am worried that if we corner our opponents too hard, it will be bad for the region. It is better to make the most of this time to strengthen our foundation. While they are still focused on developing their main area, no one would have thought that our second region has become a hamlet.” Heru Cokro smiled as he explained.
“In addition, I want you to calculate. The refresh rate of the population of Java Dwipa is 80 people per day, while Pantura only has 14 people per day. So, it is worth risking a little speed of growth of Java Dwipa to increase the level of Pantura. Overall, this will be very beneficial for the growth of the region both.” Heru Cokro continued.
This method has been done by the player in his previous life. Now, applied by Heru Cokro. Reinkarnator is really neo plagiarism. Others could only call him a genius player.
Notonegoro suddenly realized and said excitedly, “Your Majesty has thought it over well, Notonegoro was very impressed. When I come back, I will gather people and put all our strength and effort into building the RW base. We'll make sure in a week, Pantura has been promoted to RW. We will not disappoint Your Majesty.”
Heru Cokro smiled and said, “Of course I believe in your ability, so that makes me feel comfortable giving up completely. How is the formation of army squads in Pantura?” This sentence is for Agus Subiyanto who has been silent.
Agus Subiyanto nodded his head and said firmly, “Your Majesty, we have followed your orders to build a medium army camp and selected 20 good soldiers from the refugees, turning them into militias. The next stage is to promote them to the maximum level and turn them into a navy.”
“Have you been in contact with the medium dock? How is the construction of a small warship?” Heru Cokro asked.
"Yes! The factory manager, said that the small-sized warship had already begun construction. With their current speed, they can build one warship in 3 days, enough to meet the current naval training needs.” Wirama recommended Agus Subiyanto has a clear idea of the big picture, making Heru Cokro very happy.
“Good, you might have guessed that the reason why I sent you to Pantura was not just to build an army squad. In the future, Pantura will become a naval base and camp. Therefore, since the beginning of building a region, you have to think and work hard based on those goals.”
"I understand, I will work hard for Your Majesty and not disappoint you." Agus Subiyanto answered solemnly.
"good. Indeed it is the right decision to assign the two of you to Pantura. Hearing the progress of the region's children, I was very happy. I hope you two can continue to work hard and create more success in the future.” Heru Cokro concludes and ends a casual conversation that includes job reporting.
"We will not disappoint Your Majesty!" Notonegoro and Agus Subiyanto answered in unison.
Heru Cokro said with a laugh, “OK, let's go for lunch together.”
