Start with Planetary Governor

Chapter 172, I thought you really came to support my cousin
The letter Wang Qi saw was indeed written by Gu Hang himself, no one taught him.

In writing this letter, he actually had two thoughts.

One, emotional.

With the same name and surname, and the predecessor who used someone else's body, Gu Hang felt that when the time was right, he should give an explanation.

Using his body, Gu Hang is more or less responsible for this person with the same name and surname.My predecessor had an obsession with 'proving to my mother', so let's satisfy this obsession.

Therefore, Gu Hang wrote the first half of the letter.

But if you want to talk about explaining, it just stops here, but it is not enough.Digging deep into the memory of his predecessor, why didn't his resentment towards his mother come from his love for his mother?If he really has no feelings for his mother, how can he hate her.

So, there is another saying of admitting mistakes but standing up straight and expressing ambition.

The relationship between mother and child needs a way to relax.This method can't simply be a weeping confession, it is definitely not in line with the idea of ​​the predecessor, not only that, but also let the mother see the change.

However, the emotional factor is relatively minor.More importantly, there are some practical considerations.

From the memories of his previous life, Gu Hang saw dissatisfaction with his mother.In his predecessor's thinking, his mother was the image of a cold, rational, unkind, and controlling strong woman. Her status as a power holder was far greater than that of a mother, and he felt very little maternal love since he was a child.

But that's the angle of the predecessor.

With Gu Hang's gaze, re-excavating those memories, from the perspective of a bystander, he is still certain that Ms. Wang Qi still loves her son.It's just that the emphasis is different.

Can also understand.

It is true that Gu Hang's lineage was once the leader of the Gu family.His grandfather was the leader of the family, and his father, as the third child, was the most loved by his grandfather and the most outstanding. He was designated as the first heir early on, but he died before his grandfather died.

He was just born when his father died; he was three years old when his grandfather died.

After grandfather's death, the identity of the heir may not necessarily fall into Gu Hang's hands, he still has several uncles who are his own.In addition, there are quite a few other people of the same clan, each with their own blood, and each holding a certain amount of property.

Brothers of the same clan, uncles, uncles...who can wait for a three-year-old to grow up to be the leader?

Unrealistic.

At this time, only Wang Qi can support this small family.Without the support of his mother, Gu Hang might not grow up even if he is a bit dark-hearted; when he grows up, I am afraid that the things left by his grandfather will be cleaned up by his uncle, and it will be up to others to give him what is left.

However, Wang Qi's stubborn use of her deceased husband to expand her influence in the family and her efforts to eat meat will of course be met with hostility, criticism and exclusion.

She is strong enough in her heart, not afraid of those hostility, and even fighting back and forth, that is her ability.But when Gu Hang was a child, he was bullied verbally and even in action by the same clan, but he was powerless to resist or resolve it.When the mother is so busy, she protects him when she is weak, so that the psychological trauma affects the establishment of his personality.

In terms of raising and taking care of children, Wang Qi is indeed not a qualified mother; but under the special family environment, her main purpose is to keep the property belonging to their family, and it is hard to say that she is completely wrong in this regard.

From an onlooker's point of view, Gu Hang should still hold a lot of weight in his mother's heart, but the way of implementation and expression is different.

Based on such a judgment, Gu Hang believes that he cannot be fooled by the memory of his predecessor, and the relationship between the two parties is not completely irreconcilable.

And if the relationship can be reconciled, the value of Gu's firm is huge for a developing planet.

Just look at the arrival of Wang Jiarong this time.Gu Hang had seen many of the goods she was carrying on board, and deeply expressed his desire for them.

Commerce is an important point in the development of the planet.

Moreover, if the relationship can be reconciled, the Gu family, especially his mother, will in turn become a huge boost to the development of his planet.

If the Gu family can fully support him in the construction of the planet, dozens of large and small caravans, divided into several, and transported in several batches, then his process of rebuilding the world will be greatly advanced.

It's not that it can't be done without it, it's just that it will be faster.

In addition to establishing interstellar trade and direct material support, Gu Hang also valued the interstellar influence possessed by the Gu family.

This is what he lacks.

It would pay off politically, buying things he wouldn't otherwise have money to buy.

Then, the follow-up will be to see the effect of his letter, how it is, and whether it has moved his mother.

"It shouldn't be a problem, right? I've been thinking about how to write the letter for a long time."

While thinking about it, Gu Hang had already seen Nu Xiaoxing, which had already appeared in front of his eyes.

Go home.

……

Gu Hang returned to the surface in the first batch of transport spaceships.

A wave of spaceships cannot send everyone back. The soldiers behind still need multiple batches of transport spaceships to travel between the surface of the planet and its orbit.

The three spaceships in the starry sky will each stay for a period of time.

The Quintet will stay for about a month and a half.

It needs to complete some preliminary maintenance work in planetary orbit.The mechanical priests and technicians on the starship will carefully check the status of the starship during this period of time.If there is a small problem that can be repaired without the help of Starcastle and orbital shipyards, it will be dealt with first.

But when it comes to major hull repairs and the reconstruction of some destroyed weapon systems, it is definitely not something that Xiaobu can handle, and it still has to be returned to the factory.

On this matter, Gu Hang also promised to help.At that time, there may be needs for some materials and some metal parts, which can be provided by Nu Xiaoxing.

It's hard to say anything else. The industry related to alloy plastic steel is already very mature in Weixing City. There is no problem with building materials and even metal processing to make suitable parts according to needs.

And Yelicia also told Gu Hang that the support in this aspect would not be given in vain.The raw materials and parts provided by Fu Xiaoxing will be converted into costs, form a bill, and sent to the Imperial Navy. The navy will then confirm the bill, and then send it to the Ministry of Military Affairs to form a complete collection procedure, and pay taxes to Governor Fu Xiaoxing .

For this, Gu Hang didn't care much at first.Some basic processing parts and raw materials are just, how much can they be worth?

However, later he was quite thankful that he hadn't done anything to charge a large sum of money.The one and a half months during which the Quintet was overhauled on the orbit of Fu Xiaoxing consumed half a month's production capacity of the alloy plastic steel processing plant in Weixing City, and the final bill was [-] tax coins.

If this was given in vain, it would still be very distressing.

And a month later, a destroyer from the Pegasus Fleet will arrive in the orbit of Fury Owl to take over the work of the Quintet.

At first, Gu Hang was a little dissatisfied with this.The cruiser was replaced by a destroyer for me, how can I be happy.

However, what Yelicia said made him change his mind.

In fact, the reason is very simple. If it is really a cruiser, the captain of that ship is at least a brigadier general. He has the same military rank as Yelicia now, and her qualifications are definitely much older than her. She really can't command. , can only offer a little advice at best.That would be difficult to cooperate with Gu Hang's actions on the surface of the planet.

A new destroyer comes over, the captain is probably just a colonel, maybe even a lieutenant colonel, she really has the ability to turn the customer into the main, and it will be more convenient to cooperate with Gu Hang's actions when the time comes.

Gu Hang admitted that what she said made sense.

In addition to this, Wang Jiarong's Beautiful Girl has a frigate, and will stay in the Nu Xiao galaxy for three months.

Gu Hang was also a little puzzled about this.

His personal trade needs are actually not that big.He doesn't have any special needs for bulk commodities. What he really wants to buy is a few synthetic starch production lines to expand the food processing industry in his existing territory and relieve the food pressure; in addition, they are the high-end commodities that the phoenix war group needs.

In addition, a large amount of minerals, weapons and equipment, consumer goods... These Gu Hang are not without greed.He also saw a Knight Titan in the list of goods Wang Jiarong provided him! (Note 1)

This thing almost satisfies Gu Hang's romantic feelings for mechas in some sci-fi works in his previous life.

A full ten meters tall, humanoid, equipped with a plasma cannon, a missile launcher, and a rapid-fire revolver that can fire a 105mm kinetic energy cannon like a machine gun bullet.In terms of defense, in addition to the alloy ceramic steel armor doped with fine gold, there is also a powerful shield generator, and the key is very flexible in action. It is quite difficult for conventional artillery to lock and hit it.

Just such a thing, it can be used as a super firepower platform in the distance, and it can lead infantry to charge into battle in the near future. It is a super killer.

Of course Gu Hang was greedy, but when he asked about the price...

1000 million tax coins?Or a cost price that doesn't make money?

Forget it, forget it, this stuff is still unaffordable for the time being.

In addition to these high-end commodities, such as minerals, food and other bulk commodities, he does not need to buy a lot for the time being.

As far as the commodities he needs to draw down at present, the transport plane will deliver them to him after a few shifts. How can it be parked for three months?

When she heard his question, Wang Jiarong smiled awkwardly, and said that after she finished transporting the goods to Gu Hang, she still had to transport some goods to Blackbird Heavy Industries, some of which were to be transported down, and some were to be transported to the starship.

Gu Hang narrowed his eyes at that moment.

"Good guy, didn't you agree to come to support cousin?"

"Looking at you like this, old lady, I'm afraid you have already had a clear chat with Blackbird Heavy Industries, or the Farchers family behind them."

"It's really a big deal. What your cousin needs can be shipped in half a week or a week; the business from Blackbird Heavy Industries will take three months, right?"

"As expected, we are repairing our relationship with the Farchers family."

Gu Hang was very angry, and Wang Jiarong was also very embarrassed.

She immediately said that this matter is the collective decision of your Gu family, and it's not even your mother's final decision.

In the end, she emphasized this: "Anyway, I'm here to support you, and by the way, do a business with Fachers."

Gu Hang sneered and said, "Isn't it the other way around? Doing business with Fachers is the key, and supporting me is actually a matter of course. Oh, no, it should be a matter of course. After all, I, the governor, is not dead yet. Interstellar trade It only takes the governor to nod, and you can’t bypass me if you want to do this business.”

Wang Jiarong was too embarrassed to speak.

Of course, Gu Hang wasn't really angry either.

Nothing to be angry about.

This is normal instead.

What happened to my cousin?Cousin deserves to drive an interstellar spacecraft to deliver a batch of goods to cousin whose total value is not known. Is there any expensive goods, and sell them to cousin at a low price?
It's all about making money, it's not shabby.

However, this sentence is also valid for Gu Hang.

"I don't care how you deal with Blackbird Heavy Industries. I just want to remind you of two points: First, the Fofana family can handle it yourself. The Imperial Navy starship is parked in orbit. Presumably they don't want to see you and Blackbird Heavy Industries is a big business, and the political price here has nothing to do with me, and I will make this clear to Yelicia."

"Well, I understand, you don't have to worry, your Gu family has been active before you leave, I'm just a worker, if there is a problem, I won't take the risk to do it."

"That's fine." Gu Hang turned to the second point, "Second, Blackbird Heavy Industries is a part of Star Fury. I am the governor, and they are also my subjects. All interstellar transactions on the planet require my nod. Blackbird Bird Heavy Industries must pay me the imperial tax for these two years, and my request is not too much, 10% of the output value of the two years; in addition, I will also pay a 10% transaction tax for this transaction."

"This...Of course I have no problem, but I can't guarantee whether Blackbird Heavy Industries is willing or not."

"Then let them send someone to talk to me. If you don't agree, don't even think about doing this business."

"Cousin!" Wang Jiarong was still trying to act like a baby.

"There's nothing to talk about."

Wang Jiarong was helpless: "This is a deal between your Gu family and the Fachers family, cousin, you..."

Gu Hang didn't talk about this sentiment: "Don't use this as an issue, I would be even angrier if you said that. Gu didn't provide me with the slightest help on Fu Xiaoxing. Special care. I have already exempted the beautiful girl caravan from the transaction tax, I just want them to pay the imperial tax and transaction tax that they should pay, which is kind enough."

"If you can't even agree to this, the Quintet will destroy all unauthorized orbital passages. I believe Yelicia will be very happy to help me with this."

Wang Jiarong had no choice, she sighed and said, "I will convey your meaning to Blackbird Heavy Industries. However, I still have to say that the family may not be happy."

Gu Hang didn't care: "Then let my uncles and my mother pout and scold me at Flying Wing Star, what can they do?"

"I thought you wanted to reconcile with the family."

"No." Gu Hang corrected his cousin's opinion, "There is no such thing as reconciliation, I didn't stop anyone, I just want to give me the part that should be given to me. If you can't even guarantee this, what are you talking about?" Reconcile or not?"

……

After returning to Fuxing City, Gu Hang called someone to hold a work meeting.

It has been more than a month since he left Fuxing City, and he even paid a salary for the monthly gift income.

Although, it is necessary for him to personally participate in the military operations on the starship this time.If he, a powerful psyker, doesn't appear on the scene, I'm afraid he won't be able to deal with the green-skinned warlord; at the same time, he must be present in order to persuade Yelicia, who didn't want to fight, to fight; the victory after the war The fight for the fruit must be done by himself in order to get it.

However, the surface of the planet cannot be separated from him.

To put it bluntly, it has only been three or four months since we seized the alliance power.He is still short of people, and even Ossina has to wear several hats and is so busy all day long.

The regime established by the entire new alliance is also a highly centralized form of planning.Without him as the governor sitting in town, if it takes too long, God knows what troubles will happen.

In fact, even for a month, Gu Hang was worried about something going wrong.

Even though Ossina and Yan Fangxu left a device that could communicate with the starship, during this period of time, Gu Hang did not communicate with the people below at all.It's just that the communication of 10 minutes every three to five or so is not enough at all.Gu Hang urgently needs a practical work meeting to understand what happened in his territory in the past month or so, and whether all the work has been carried out as he expected.

And before waiting for the arrival of his main subordinates, he was still thinking about the matter of Blackbird Heavy Industries.

There are a total of three continents on Star Fury, and the other two small continents were originally the main mining areas for psionic gas fields, and they were also the places most severely damaged by the war. The harsh environment makes it more difficult for people to survive, and it is impossible to grow food.According to intelligence, those two continents are basically no man's land.

On the main continent, Blackbird Heavy Industries has a very important position.The history of this enterprise is even longer than that of the Fury Star Alliance. Before the alliance was established, they had existed for a long time.

According to the information Gu Hang has now, the old nest of Blackbird Heavy Industry is located in the westernmost coastal area of ​​the mainland, tens of thousands of kilometers away from Fuxing City where he is now.They control quite a large piece of land, and there are about 1000 million people living in that area. Some of the main food sources are self-produced-there is a great plain in the west of the continent, although the area covered by waste energy storms is not less, but the remaining land is enough to feed a considerable number of people.

The other part comes from the pre-war technical breeding factories in the western desert area under those oases.

Looking at the name 'Black Bird Heavy Industries', one can know that this is a super enterprise whose main business is heavy industry.They are still part of the alliance in name, but since the second governor, they have drifted away from the alliance.Every two years, they pay the imperial tax symbolically.

According to the population of 1000 million within their rule, it stands to reason that they have to produce products equivalent to 200 million tax coins in each tax period and send them to the Union government as their tax revenue for this year.

However, in the past six years and three tax periods, they gave 40 tax coins at most, and only 20 tax coins at the least.

The difference is huge, but the key is that the coalition government is unable to collect it.

How to charge?The bear of the old alliance legion, can also travel thousands of miles to expedition to the western world of the mainland?Even if all political forces are mobilized, this will not be possible.

The governors of all dynasties can only go to the letter, accusing Blackbird Heavy Industries of not paying taxes as a traitor to the empire, a rebellion.

But...isn't it a coincidence?Suppressing planetary rebellion is the governor's job, if you can't do it well, you are incompetent.Theoretically, in the event of a rebellion, the empire can be called for support, and it is also possible for the astral army, the imperial navy, or even a battle group to fly in.

But alas, this is only theoretical.Unless the situation is so bad that it is even possible or has affected multiple surrounding areas, the empire will have no time to care about you.

Even, some planets rebelled, and the rebels killed the governor before the imperial reinforcements arrived.

They sent people to the ground to have a look, and the rebels said: The last governor was tyrannical and incompetent, we overthrew him, but we are still loyal to the empire, we are willing to continue to pay taxes, and we are ready for the new tax La.

When the imperial reinforcements heard it, all right, then you are the new governor, and then they went back home.

It's very grassy, ​​but from the perspective of the empire: the rebellion is gone, the new governor is very loyal, the tax is not low, and the war is saved, isn't everyone happy?

As for the old Governor?A trash who can't even handle a rebellion, died and fell down.

The probability of this happening is not high, but it has been documented many times.

As far as Gu Hang is concerned, he is unable to directly interfere with the affairs of the extreme west of the mainland, and he is not capable enough to organize a large army to go on an expedition across thousands of miles, and the logistics supplies cannot withstand it at all.

Orbital support is useless. It is impossible to establish rule by bombing alone without ground troops to control it.

Even if it is engaged in orbital airborne, orbital transportation of supplies and transfers, the distance on the ground can be ignored. However, the Quintet is a standard warship, and the orbital transportation conditions are not good, so it cannot support this; the Beautiful Girl is an armed merchant ship. There are conditions to do it, but obviously Wang Jiarong will not support him to fight this battle.

Even if he wins the battle, the current industrial level of Nu Xiaoxing will not be able to support him to rule the land on the other side of the mainland across thousands of miles in a short time.

In short, fighting is not reliable, and the time is not ripe now.

But on the contrary, with the help of this key transaction between Gu and Farchers, it is still possible to ask Blackbird Heavy Industries to pay the money they should pay, and block the trade if they don't pay.The Quintet can tightly seal off the trade link between the surface and the planet's orbit.

According to Gu Hang's idea, the bottom line is that you should honestly pay this installment of 200 million tax coins; in addition, Gu Hang also asked them to make up for the shortfall of the three installments of tax in the past six years, which is almost 500 million taxes. currency.

A total of 700.

Of course, Blackbird Heavy Industries and Farches might not be willing to accept the latter one.Gu Hang didn't intend to force the other party to death, otherwise, the business would not be done, and Gu Hang's idea of ​​taking money from the other party's pocket would also come to naught, that would be bad.

We'll see how we talk about it when we see it.

In short, 200 million tax coins is the bottom line.

Today's update is late, but there are 6000 words!
I actually finished writing 4000 last night. I thought about it when I set the time, and decided to write more 2000 to make it smoother. I wrote it now this afternoon.

Let's see if we can update 6000 words on time tomorrow.
