Arriving at Zar's throne room with a 4 fingers thick pile of Parchment is Seer.
Seer placed sheets of Parchment all over the Domain declaring the King's recruitment request and spent about 200 Gold Coins on several refugees for them to spread the word about the recruitment.
The applyers all met with the King's assistant in person, someone needed to write in their details as most of them couldn't read or write.
That's why the King ordered for Seer to pay people to spread the word of mouth, it took Seer 3 days to fill all the documents, he handled over a hundred people.
Approaching, getting on with a couple of light greetings. Seer sunk into a bit of detail, "My King, I have gathered up a few requests for employment that your civilians responded too."
A smile widened across his face, King Zar had to ask. "Do you bring me experienced workers old friend?"
Waving a couple pieces of parchment in front of the King, Seer laid out. "I'm afraid the number of experienced Stonemasons is low. While the number of experienced in Construction is bigger but more than we needed applied."
"Tell me the overall statistics."
Zar demanded with a sigh holding in temperament as well.
Prepared for these questions due to having to quadruple check each detail, Seer affirmed. "There are only 5 experienced Stonemasons. 4 of them have under 10 years of experience while one has over 10. 25 years of experience to be exact."
These numbers aren't too bad, but further questions have to be asked. "What about the experienceless?"
Indirectly bashing at the King's decisions, Seer weighed in. "A few applied but not as much as you required, there are only 15 of them. Perhaps they felt that Stonemasonry is too difficult considering your offered pay."
Zar sat in patience hearing out the unsuccessful task and after a moment of silence he finally said. "It is indeed a shame that we didn't get 30 of them, but do not burden yourself. These people are just too under qualified but do the experienceless Stonemasons show promise?"

His smile bouncing, Seer resumed with enthusiasm. "Indeed Sire, they come from rough backgrounds. They would work for 30 Gold Coins if they had too, they can not afford losing this job so they will indeed work hard because each have families to feed."
Feeling sympathy, killing two birds with one stone, Zar pitched. "If you see such Stonemasons offer them longer work hours so they can earn a bit extra, the same with Construction workers."
As he finished his sentence he after slowly and carefully added, "That man with 25 years of experience shall be the leader of the Stonemasons, he shall advise the ones with less experience if needed. Assign one apprentice Stonemason to each experienced one since the numbers are even and progress is destined."
A good idea, but requires tampering or questions at least so Seer queries. "As you wish Sire, how much shall we pay for those who work extra hours?"
Unprepared for this question, Zar bought himself out with a little praise. "Well they have to work 8 hours a day to get their normal pay, they will be working every day. Use that to calculate the amount needed, you are way too qualified to not be able to do basic mathematics."
Willing to get this topic over with, Seer rattled off. "Of course Sire, I was just curious if the pay for extra hours is more than usual."
Having a firm thought, a good point of view about earning. Zar babbled, "Gold has to be earned. With plans to give away 100 houses, I don't plan to wipe out our entire Budget. However. These 20 new applyers are now working for me, for Pameres Kingdom. They will be busy until retirement as I do not plan to stop at the second wall being built."
With professionalism his main effort even for the less earning, King Zar demanded. "Be sure to store the documentations in the Castle and be sure each one gives a signature about accepting the job. It doesn't have to be fancy."

Putting the last nail on the Coffin about the Stonemasons, Zar quizzed. "I assume you put in the dates of employment as well so we can keep track of the passing months, to know who we shall give salary raises too."
Waving his hands up as he scrolled through his Parchments, Seer assured. "Don't burden yourself Sire, I have everything under control. I just needed your approval of employment."
As the King grabbed a piece of Parchment and gave his signature, taking a few seconds to make it fancy and such.
Seer proceeded with another question which tends to feed racism. "I meant to ask. 10 of the applyers on Stonemasonry including the one with 25 years of experience are Ignites. Considering your recent Revolution plans I assume their salaries should be equal to our illustratios?"
Raising his voice, hating how Seer has a racist point of view. Zar interposed. "Equality will rule above everything, statuses will be defined by work experience. Not the colour on their skin, Seer."
Not wanting to discuss such short sighted topics further, Zar asked. "Now tell me about the Construction workers, did you at least bring me good news about those?"
Smiling once this topic opened, Seer went for the last Parchment and yapped. "Actually I brought more results than I expected and more than we needed."
Calming down bit by bit, Zar requested. "Pleases my ears, tell me more…"
Waving a Parchment full of Ignite toning names in front of the King, Seer spoke at length. "It turns out that a Construction team migrated from Gaster Kingdom here about 5 years ago. Combined with the Stonemasons we will be able to make some good quality houses without paying a fortune."
A storm of ideas raging running through his mind, the King primarily asked. "How many people are in that construction group?"
Not understanding how the King isn't seeing the large number in the beginning of the page, Seer slowly explained. "35 Sire, they perform gracefully and with their help we can get a little boost in Construction speed, not to forget quality. The rest however are 45 experienceless men."
These statistics are good, that's for sure but one thought still occupied his conscious and so the King decided to put it into word. "This plan is coming together quite well although with a rough start but how much does this impact the Kingdom's monthly income?"
Blabbering tad off topic, Seer explained. "That's the part that worried me a bit. But we earn 12,000 Gold Coins from the monthly taxes just from the Houses, we are able to escape with a minimal monthly income."
Finally getting to the important topic, Seer added. "The new workers will take 12,525 Gold Coins from the monthly budget."
Sighing, relief resting in his mind finally. The King asked about another Burden, "What about the mines? Surely we can squeeze a profit out of them."
King Zar made a mistake of asking, because now Seer won't really shut up considering the topic that interests him. "The mines are at a setback. Since we can't sell Iron ore to the Kingdoms which take part in the illustratian Alliance, we need new big time trade partners."
Looking at the positive sides, Seer continued after taking a deep breath. "But we did business with other Kingdoms before, we have 200,000 Gold Coins to support your new expenses for a few months."
His mind becoming weary and his vision a bit dizzy too, King Zar excused him. "You earned your big salary my friend, few can handle so much information without a headache. But I'm afraid I need to form a new alliance with Gaster Kingdom sooner than I expected."
