Noble Family Requests Aid
The most powerful of the noble families of the state often had vast wealth, but that did not stop them, like their monarchs, from getting into financial troubles. They too could accumulate debts that escaped their ability to pay. They could, at those times, come to the monarch to request aid. The monarchs were often receptive since they would usually be related by blood or marriage.
Sultan 'Abd al-Jalil Shah decides to grant the aid.

Encourage the Encomienda System
The matter of the native population is of key concern to us. We need to ensure that natives under our care are protected from hostile neighbors, properly civilized and practice the true faith. Our plan is to give our colonists this duty, each will be given a number of natives to tutor and protect. This is obviously not something people will do for free, so in return natives will provide a number of days of labor to our colonists.
