God Almighty said: “Indeed, the inhabitants of Saba had a sign in their dwelling, two gardens on the right and on the left. Eat from their provision Your Lord, and give thanks to Him, He is a good and Forgiving Lord. »

(Verse 15 - Surah Sheba)

the first chapter

(First scene: Senate meeting)

Tian: Hello, gentlemen. Because the agenda contains a lot of... Sensitive subjects. It was decided that the meeting would be secret. We start with the Ma'rib dam project.

Please, Engineer Sharhabeel.

Sharhabeel: (Approaches the podium) His Excellency the President of the Council, His Excellency the Notables. You were blinded AM. This preliminary study before you concerns the construction project of the Ma'rib dam. 2 km from the town of Marib. The project aims to provide 20 million cubic meters of water... The water will be used annually to irrigate 3,000 acres of fertile land in the city of Marib. He understands The project involves building an earthen dam approximately 50 meters high and 400 meters long. Its width is 400 meters and it forms behind it a lake with a capacity of 25 million cubic meters and provides 16 Millions of cubic meters of water per year. The project also includes the construction of agricultural roads Which serves the project lands. The total cost of the project was estimated at around 50 One million gold coins, and it will take 5 years to build the dam, plus you get an increase The average income of farmers is between ten thousand and forty thousand gold coins per year. the year. I therefore recommend that you, gentlemen, agree to implement it as soon as possible. and I'm ready To respond to your requests, Your Excellency.

Ghassan: Building a big dam like this is a very good thing, but the dam will hold large amounts of water behind it It is large and because the land behind it to the south is low, the water will overflow and drown. Homes and lands of citizens in this area. This will cause many of them to complain We need it.

Sharhabeel: I calculated all this and added compensation to the costs, I hope Approved by Your Excellency, it will be paid to the citizens of this region to prevent conflicts And troubles.

AED: The minor damage that will occur is not important, you have to look at the gains The big one we're going to have. The people in this area are poor and drowning will not do them much harm. Their houses are cheap and their land is mostly fallow. Their compensation is sufficient.

Himyar: If there are damages and inconveniences to the project, there are also compensations. Isn't that possible? Should we give up on this plan and be content with the abundant goodness that God has given us?

Amr: I support Himyar's words. God blessed us with two gardens, on the right and on the left. And the fruit It falls from the trees on us without any effort or action on our part. So why are we making this effort?

Money that exceeds years of spending on a dam causes us problems and increases the number of poor people. The poorest and the richest the richest?

Yafar: Have we taken into account the opinion of our fellow southerners on the project and do we not expect them to refuse any compensation? But overall, the idea?!

AED: We don't need to ask them for their opinion, we aren't afraid of their reaction and we don't need them In the construction of the dam. Because they are idiots. We can convince them that the dam will provide for their needs Opportunities to work with less effort and higher wages in the North.Himyar: What work will the project bring them? If the project can provide work to

50% of them. Where will the others work when they are only good at agriculture?

Dirham: Haven't notables been complaining for a long time about the lack of servants in their palaces? And we are obliged to Bring in servants from neighboring countries with high salaries. Here is the opportunity for you, ask for help With them and low wages, they will be happy to work in your vast lands and palaces workers, instead of foreign labor.

Ghassan: (He laughs sarcastically) So the process has been in the works for a long time.

Amr: (angry) This is an injustice, and God will never accept this. And the anger of the Lord is intense.

Dirham: (sarcastically, Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha) We will please the Lord with offerings and by distributing food to the The poor and the needy.

Amr: (angry) God does not need your offerings if they are intended to be exploited. And injustice.

Sharhabeel: (resentfully) The Lord is also not pleased that we have the opportunity for greater work in our hands. There is a barrier in the world and we are not implementing it.

Ghassan: Just as army commanders are concerned about starting wars, scientists are concerned They care about the success and implementation of their theories in reality, without thinking for a single moment about the implications.

Social for their business.

Dirham: Wait a minute, gentlemen, we need to be practical. Like I said, people from the south are poor They are helpless and not afraid of their arrows. We can now prepare them psychologically

They accept the idea of ​​building the dam, organizing parties and banquets for them during which people sing. Being excited about the benefits of the dam and the abundant good it will bring them will help them change their lives.

A tough peasant agriculture with a comfortable life and a good life in the north. You have to exaggerate while enjoying yourself So that we reassure them and convince them that their life in the north will be joyful And relief and relief.

Yafar: Do you think they won't discover the trick until we finish building the dam, which will take? Years, especially since you can't fool people all the time.

Yasser: We must succeed in separating them from their lands to the south, and distributing them in... Northern regions. This will weaken them and they will no longer be able to stand.

To make them more vulnerable, I suggest that they do not exaggerate their salaries when working in our palaces. In our profession, we say: your dog's hunger will follow you. Thus, we guarantee their helplessness due to their small number

We will protect them from their resources and disperse them, and we will guarantee their submission and will not rebel against us forever.

Dirham: (mischievously) And to ensure their submission, let's increase the price of land north of Today it is a secret between us and we do not reveal it. So that it exceeds the value of the compensation they will receive on him. There is no objection to them knowing the value of the compensation before ordering them to emigrate, until they are satisfied With compensation, they thought they could buy land and houses in the north. It doesn't matter if they are then shocked by the reality of rising prices. Where we will tell them that the reason for the increase Prices are such that demand exceeds supply. And then... (cries arise from the notables), and he says One of them: "You are astute, Dirham. You are the wisest of this nation."

Ibn Jasper: (Vote, gentlemen) Are there any objections to the construction of the dam? (count) 1, 2, 3. The majority therefore agrees. Let us take note of this agreement and the decisions we have reached To our great Lord, God bless you. Let's discuss the second topic on today's agenda.

Tian: The second topic of discussion before your esteemed council today is a request The help provided by certain neighboring villages and those located on our trade route with The Levant and the rest of the Arabian Peninsula.

Yafar: I believe that security and safety in our country is linked to the stability of these villages and any crisis In these villages, this will have a negative impact on our business, and therefore on us at home. I want to give them the help they ask for.

Ghassan: (loudly and proudly) I support this noble approach. Let's not forget that we have a lineage and a family These villages.

Dirham: Do you think that notables do not know their interests? The merit of the emergence of these villages Its existence and expansion are due to the passage of our trade through it. The income they receive is enough for them through the services they provide to convoys.

Himyar: I think we should send a mission of our experts to verify the extent of their need for help. If It was found necessary to provide this help, so let it be provided. Or reduce it a little.

Yasser: If we show compassion to these villages, they will have more trust in us. If some people did not establish lineage relationships And mixed marriages with them, which we have repeatedly emphasized in this council, and the need to put an end to it. Poorly conceived actions when these villages dared to ask for help. I see this as a reality It is imperative that we help them, provided they commit to continuing to serve the convoys. This aid does not strengthen their villages and will be a source of threat to us in the future. He suggested not spending The aid that we decide is only done in installments.

Dirham: We must consider the question in all its aspects, because these villages Through their proximity and solidarity, they have come to dominate commerce, and thus harm our commerce.

This encouraged small traders to become competitors of notables, and most of these villages disappeared. Or it is better to divide them than to help them. They will be preoccupied with their internal problems and he will be unable Small merchants stop competing with us in trade and the arena remains empty for notables.

Amr: (angry) This is an injustice and there is an injustice after that. A monopoly on commerce is not acceptable in the eyes of the Lord. This action portends great evil and wrath on the part of God.Yasser: (laughing, Ha, Ha, Ha) You saw earlier that the army leaders always call Combat. Don't you see that the priests only preach perdition and great things? And the shocking endings.

Amr: (rebel) We only speak the truth that God taught us through the tongue His messengers. We just need to deliver a clear message.

Dirham: I think we should limit ourselves to these discussions. We're going to start voting on this.

Ibn Jasper: (decisively) I don't see anyone asking for a discussion. Who approves the aid? (count) 1, 2, 3 only? On the contrary, 4. The project did not obtain the minimum level of approval. Consequently, we announce the rejection of the project by majority. We declare the session closed. THANKS.
