The main reason was the faster travel for the job seekers. It would allow many villagers to go to faraway cities for jobs by spending very little.

Harsha\'s carriage entered the Royal Palace. The garden was well-maintained as usual. Viswa did his job well after all. The palace staff\'s gazes were a bit different than usual. Harsha quickly noticed the difference.

He knew there would be trouble about the centralization of power from the recent judicial reform. There must have been a commotion while he was out to discuss an alliance with the Marathas. It must have been a small commotion that it never reached him. Harsha trusted Viswa to take care of the issue.

Chances to prove himself in front of the cruel society were what Viswa needed. he was bestowing on him with the very opportunity. He was already a small flicker of hope for the lower castes as the rumors about him spread wide across the Emperor.

Lower castes looked up to him. His every success was also a success for them.

Harsha exited the carriage and went straight to his room. He wanted to freshen up first before taking care of the affairs. He soaked in the tub filled with aromatic liquids. His fatigue from the travel slowly fading as his muscles relaxed, it was a good bath. After changing into comfortable clothes.

He headed to his study room. He had to give the design to Viswa and implement horse omnibuses across many cities.

Harsha found Viswa waiting just outside the Royal complex.

Viswa got a wind of his return and waited outside the royal complex to greet him.

He greeted him. Viswa had his sword on his waist and no documents or papers in his hands like usual. Harsha scanned him up and down.

"Your Majesty," he began. "Welcome back. How was your trip to Surat?

Harsha walked ahead, "As expected, they accepted the terms and agreed to an alliance."

"The documents for the alliance are in my room." Harsha added. "Take them and document it."

"Alright, Your Majesty." Viswa said. "Umm…"

He fidgeted for a bit but took a deep breath to calm down. "So, Your Majesty. There was a commotion during your absence."

"How did you handle it?"

"Um…"

Viswa explained the commotion that happened a few weeks prior to his arrival. He revealed every bit of detail to Harsha and his words to the man named "Sachin." . He was already expecting some bit of punishment for his words. He insulted a noble.

He wasn\'t of noble blood and insulting a noble would come with a hefty punishment.

Instead, Harsha\'s action baffled him.

Harsha laughed at his story. It was quite funny to him that the polite butler of his would resort to such words. Harsha liked the attitude with which he dealt with the situation. The nobles expected him, as a lower caste, to bow down to his command. Viswa didn\'t, which makes the confrontation quite significant.

\'If he manages to win this argument, it would reinforce the faith of lower castes in Harsha\'s rule.\' Harsha thought. \'It would be an overwhelming political victory and give rise to some low foundational level changes in the Empire.\'

"It\'s all good." Harsha controlled his laughter as they walked to his study room. "You did a great job."

After a while of chatter, they reached the study room. When Harsha entered, the room was clean. Everything was arranged neatly and there was a scent of flowers and perfumes in the room.

"It looks neat," he remarked.

"The servants clean every day,"

"Take a seat, I have to discuss something." He ordered Viswa.

Harsha went and sat in his usual place in the room, on a plush chair; behind him was a large window that overlooked the garden.

"How was the experience?" Harsha asked him.

"Um... it was quite a lot to handle but it was fine after a day."

"As expected, how do you plan to handle that?"

"Sachin\'s?"

Harsha nodded.

"I have some plans." Viswa said. "But…" His voice trailed off. It was evident that he was overthinking and had no confidence to implement his plan.

"Not confident?"

Viswa had no words for Harsha\'s statements. He hung his head in shame.

"Why are you not confident?"

"I don\'t know, Your Majesty." He said.

"Are you afraid of failure?" Harsha leaned into his chair. "Or you are scared of the consequences of your failures?"

"You failing will put a stain on me and my plans for lower castes?"

Viswa nodded lightly.

Harsha sighed. Viswa was an excellent talent; his ingrained complex wasn\'t something that Harsha could magically correct with training. It required growth. Explore more at empire

Viswa grew his skills and was useful to him but on his own without Harsha\'s orders. He wasn\'t himself.

"Remember, Failure is the path to Success," Harsha said with a smile. "Whether you fail is not my issue, nor does it put a dent on my plans."

"But what does put a dent on my plans is your attitude? If you can\'t think and work independently. All the training was for naught."

"I won\'t ask about your plans, and neither will I monitor you." Harsha declared. "You can plan however you want. Solve the problem yourself."

Viswa stayed silent for a while, taking everything in. The plan of his was relatively simple and efficient. He found out that Sachin tried to contact Asokan Nair to support them but like the just and loyal person he was. The offer would likely go south.

He intended to exploit this offer to control and gather all the remnants of Jadhavs and Parvathy Nairs. It was simple; execution mattered the most. Sachin was a fool, Viswa could tell from his way of behavior. He sent a letter to Asokan after being humiliated by him.

His target was Viswa, so it would be easy to guess his next move.

"That\'s enough planning about this situation." Harsha declared. "I know you can solve it. Just do it."

"I have another task for you."

"What is it, Your Majesty?" Viswa asked with a curious glint in his eyes. Harsha\'s idea would always be out of this world and exciting for him to work on. Viswa liked planning these endeavors with his guidance.

"We will create a new transportation network in the Empire."

"Transportation?" He tilted his head in confusion.

"A horse omnibus."

"What is that?"

"A horse-drawn large carriage. It could carry up to 20 people at once at a small fee."

"Hmmm…Implement it across major cities that happen to have large amounts of movers?"

"Exactly, we can charge a small fee for this service and it would be all handled by the Empire for now."

"I see. I suppose you need quite a lot of horses and carriages for this."

"Yes, an omnibus needs 6 horses to function."

Viswa\'s mind already was working on the planning phases of the omnibus. He already had a little map in his mind. He had plans to employ the carriage makers of the Royal Family to design a large coach for the omnibus, which would be cost-effective and cheap. Spread that method across different makers and mass-produce the omnibuses.

The first test sites would ideally be the capital since there was always an influx of manpower coming in and going out of the capital.

"Any basic design for this? Your Majesty."

"I have it in my room; I will send it to you later." He said. "You seem to have an idea to start this."

"The only problem for now was the sourcing of horses," Viswa said.

"Why is that a problem?"

"Because horses are quite expensive and good ones take time to grow."

"Didn\'t we get a lot of horses from the Sultanate?" Harsha scratched his chin. "There were many horses in the deserted garrison. Most of them were high-quality ones bought from the Mughal Empire."

Viswa\'s eyes lit up. He totally forgot about them. The horses they got from the Sultanate were still in the surplus and were at the bases. They changed the old horses and did equip the better ones for the cavalry but despite this, they had a lot of surplus horses even after accounting for extras for battle.

So now all the problems of the omnibus were solved. He needed to just plan and execute it perfectly.

"Yes! I can do this."
