Rahman and dozens of Berber nobles walked out of Uster's Governor's Palace with great enthusiasm.
After being "absent" for more than three months, the Governor reappeared on the first day in Mitidja and convened the major nobles, officials, and tribal leaders of Algiers to announce the establishment of the French Algeria Province in the name of the King and issued a series of new decrees.
The content of the decree made Rahman and others ecstatically happy.
"How much did you get?" Lazaz asked the tribal leader beside him with delight, "I got over 6,000 riyals here."
The latter, who was related by marriage, also did not hide it: "I got 4,000 riyals."
Indeed, Uster just announced that property confiscated from the Imperial Guard and the Navy could be kept by the tribes by one-third, while the rest would be handed over to the province's finance to build towns, irrigation facilities, and roads.
