Work II
“By the way … you have good eyes, I realize now, you are doing everything for us citizens, you’re a true ruler”
“In fact, I have attended the school by instructions of my father, and of course in the school it was commerce what my studies were about, but I occasionally sneaked into other classroom courses and heard the content of the natural disasters lesson because I was interested.”
“Well … it was such a thing … the school is functioning very well, so if that is the case …. I will show you the state of the construction went it’s more advanced. You can come to the conference too.”
“Oh, is that good?”
It made his eyes shine while asked me.
“Yeah”
The contents of the conference are written on the paper he currently has in his hand.
There is no such thing as being troubled from the beginning about him attending.
“… … Raim … tell him to prepare another seat.”
“Ok”
Once she went out of the office, she came back to inform me that the preparations will be finished in a few minutes.
I stand up as I urge her.
In one corner of the mansion, all the buildings and rooms are released for the sake of government.
There a lot of government officials hurriedly working.
Such a sight, for him walking behind me seems to be interesting.
In the conference room we arrived, there were already five older men and two government officials.
“Everyone, thank you for coming to the meeting today, so let’s advance the meeting promptly, please see the material at hand. If you have any comment, say it.”
“It is progressing as expected, we confirmed the site and it was as instructed”
“However, it is better to advance this side of the embankment a little faster, the load will be applied to the other side as it is.”
When the five old men saw the report of the current construction’s state, they exchanged opinions fervorously.
…… I’m not good enough for this, there is too many details.
I have much more knowledge than them… but it’s about Japan …. I regret that I should have acquired more skills suited for cases like this.
However, I do not have time to regret and stop now.
I have only one pair of hands and eyes, and only one head.
I can not start learning everything now.
That’s why I gather people to compensate for what I miss.
People’s interest is that person. What is stimulated by knowledge is different from person to person.
In other words, what I want to say is that some people have examined and analyzed the events that actually occurred in the past about the flood control, and mapped waterways that will spread water to the fields.
They have gathered that info and so they are talking about this.
Fortunately, as a result of establishing a school, such intellectual seekers have become easy to gather.
Accurately, thanks to the fact that the school director planned and implemented policies to have a school’s library.
…… Although a conference about this happened more than ten times, they did not actively discuss like this at the beginning.
However, the dreams that I had are becoming a reality.
The idea of what I had learned in my past, the idea of what I was thinking to create, we’re looking it with our eyes now.
Since I gave them the path to follow, everyone began to express their opinions while shining their eyes.
Then, they began to collaborate with each other and try to make better ones.
It’s my job here to control the place so as not to derail if they are too enthusiastic.
I got to told to a certain extent, what was decided at the end of the meeting.
