1 Unlucky Crossing

Aji is very depressed. He must complete the final exam graduation at the university (Thesis). He has been working on his thesis about the kingdom in Java. Aji worked hard to complete the skirpi he had made.

The clock shows 01.00 PM. Aji is very proud because he has successfully completed his thesis. But then his stomach felt rumbling, he rushed to the kitchen to cook indomie (Indonesian Noodle) which he kept in the cupboard. But unfortunately he slipped with the soap he used last night (I think you know what I mean: '3)

Then his back was hit by the edge of the table and lost consciousness.

"Uh ...."

After a very long time. Aji finally opened his eyes, but felt very strange. Because when her eyes opened he didn't see the blue walls of her rented house, and instead he smelled a very clear smell of grass.

"Damn my body hurts so much! ". Aji was momentarily confused by the situation, and he felt pain from all over his body. "Dammit why I got hurt at the start, even god left me in the wild !!"

Aji scolded himself and tried to get up quickly, but he was shocked when he realized that his voice was relatively young and it seemed that this was not his own, but he was listening to the voice he spoke from his own mouth.

Aji has seen many anime, manga, and novels about this subject. And he feels familiar with this plot, even though he can't accept it.

"Oh no… no… did I cross ?, why not in a noble house like the other novels! It's not that at the beginning of the story the main character should be given the initial capital first !!. Son of a bitch "(The writer is someone who doesn't like the OP character at the beginning of the story. LOL)

Aji quickly tried to feel himself to observe his body. Then he saw a brown dress in a strange costume and pale yellow hands that were definitely not her hands.

With a tense mood, he tried to look at the bottom. After a while he felt relieved that he was still a boy, even though his hair still didn't grow.

After a while Aji started to feel very hungry. And suddenly the memory of the owner of this body, and became one with him. Aji knew that the owner of this body was also called Aji, more precisely Aji Pangestu Widyadiningrat from the warrior caste in the Majapahit kingdom around the 15th century AD. Aji has the task of representing his area around the Kalinyamat Nusantara to be precise in a small area called Pati to help one of the Majapahit princes in the civil war fighting for royal power in the land of Java after the center of the kingdom was moved to the Dhaka kingdom by Brawijaya V and to help the King of Majapahit from King Ranawijaya's attack on the Majapahit kingdom

What is Nusantara? Nusantara is the expansion area of ​​Majapahit but still has its own authority without the placement of majapahit bureaucrats or military. Some areas are still subject to taxes for Majapahit, one of which is from the area located in Pati, Central Java.

With only a land area of ​​3000 hectares. 3000 hectares looks a lot, right? For areas that can be used as a farm, only about 500 hectares. The rest still covers areas of empty land, beaches, and forests because it is bordered by Mount Muria. Even though today in the field of agriculture, especially rice in the Majapahit kingdom has been quite developed with the presence of irrigation channels and reservoirs and the use of hoes, plows and ani-ani (a tool to separate rice seeds from their stalks). However, due to the power struggle between the princes, many reservoirs were deliberately destroyed and the consumption for the army increased, this caused a lot of misery for the people. And caused thousands of people to starve to death.

Although in peaceful conditions the rice harvest per hectare in Majapahit is only about 300 kg per hectare (this has been helped by volcanic ash from Mount Muria. As a modern society in the history department, Aji knows that paden rice can reach 9 tons or 9000Kg per hectare, but equates with the modern era, it would be inappropriate, during this period in the Ming dynasty alone the rice harvest per hectare could reach 500 kg.

The essence of the problem itself may I know. In its history in the Majapahit kingdom people still didn't know how to use fertilizer properly. Residents in the Majapahit era immediately defecated in the river. In the Ming dynasty itself, during this era farmers even punusntarad dirt in the city as fertilizer for agricultural land. The excrement of the Ming dynasty was always used in the fields as fertilizer, which supported the prosperity of the Ming dynasty.

Since the establishment of the era of the succession of the eldest son by China and Arab traders. The eldest son inherited power from his parents. As for their second son, they will be forced into the royal army or try to become government employees.

Now in 1496, when the Demak sultanate, Prabu Ranawijaya, started trying to escape from Majapahit by attacking the Majapahit kingdom. Raja Brawijaya recruits troops. Aji Raden Kusuma's father, Raden Joko Kusuma Wodyodiningrat, hearing that the king of Brawijaya V recruited troops, decided to force his second son, Aji, who was 16 years old to leave the house and become the army of Raja Brawijaya V.

However, he was overestimating his 2nd son's still a little bit. Not long after, after Aji left the house with 10 gold coins, he was tricked by a frontier soldier who claimed to know the King.

Then poor Aji didn't have money to stay and eat. In desperation he had to go hunting in the wild on horseback. But even though Raden Aji came from the knight caste and held the knight's spear in his hand, he didn't get a single game. And Aji himself did not have arrows and did not know how to shoot.

Finally after not eating for 3 days, aji was starving and accidentally fell from the horse and fainted in the grass while chasing the deer ...
