Luo Hongyi is very satisfied with Ran Tianlei's knowledge.

When Ran Tianlei heard this, he could only smile bitterly, but he didn't feel that Luo Hongyi was wrong at all.

In fact, for the feelings of the vast number of people in the empire, he thinks that he is really not as deep as Luo Hongyi's feelings for the people of Hailanxing. In his heart, only the family is the most important, and he has never felt that he has to do anything to protect the interests of the vast number of people in the empire......

Of course, when he was on a mission, he had to sacrifice everything to shoulder the responsibility. Even if he knew that he was facing a very likely only way to be destroyed, even if he had to sacrifice his best second son, he would not give up the people behind the Shining Thorn Star to make an escape, not because of how deep his feelings were for them.

In the final analysis, he is more for the reputation of the Ran family.

In his opinion, even if their Ran family's Fenglan fleet was wiped out, even if his second son really died...... As long as there is still one person in the Ran family, it is worth his desperate sacrifice to maintain the family's reputation. Because as long as the bloodline is not broken, it is unknown which day the Ran family will have a chance to make a comeback in the future.

But if he abandons his responsibilities at this time, he is greedy for life and afraid of death. That would be tantamount to nailing the Ran family to the pillar of shame of the empire forever, and it would make future generations forever bear the infamy that could not be washed away.

In Ran Tianlei's view, it is the Emperor's Majesty who should do things to safeguard the interests of the vast number of people in the empire, because those are either his subjects or the subjects of other families. Does it have anything to do with him and the Ran family?

If it doesn't matter, why does he need to fight for their welfare?

Even if they are in the empire, but in his opinion, the relationship between their Ran family and other major families and the imperial family, and His Majesty the Emperor is not a relationship that needs to be loyal to whom, but more of a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship between them.

Because not only the Ran family, but also the fleets of other major families belong to their own families, and they need to be raised by themselves. Unless they are hired by the Empire to receive military subsidies from the Imperial Family, other times it is impossible for them to receive military subsidies from the Imperial Family even when they carry out the Empire's mandatory rotation tasks. They only have fifty percent of the taxes on the planet they have guarded during the years they have been guarding.

Fifty percent, half of a planet's taxes, sounds good, but—

If the rotation mission encounters a rich planet, it is better to say, but if it encounters a remote planet with no output, I am afraid that the tax revenue obtained in a few years will not be enough to consume the energy blocks back and forth on the way of the fleet. If you encounter an accident, you may even lose a lot, and you need to pay extra money yourself, just like before.

If they encounter a starry sky giant beast this time and ask the Liu family for help, and the Liu family's fleet arrives in time, then they still need to pay the Liu family afterwards.

The empire stipulates that the main ships of the surrounding planets have the obligation to support in times of crisis, but it also stipulates that the supported fleet also has the obligation to pay the fleet that comes to support.

Can't get paid?

Hehe, aren't there still warships and soldiers?

Therefore, for the imperial family, Ran Tianlei never felt that his family had much need to be loyal to them. Now he is vassalized with Luo Hongyi and Gu Nuannuan, in his opinion, as long as their Ran family is vassalized with them for a day, the only people he really needs to be loyal to are them, since they have those people of Hailanxing in their hearts, then it should be right for him to have them in his heart......

So now that he is willing to let Luo Hongyi cling to him, he doesn't need to pay too much price, and even considerately let the strong guard them and give them more protection. Not to mention generously giving him these immortal fruits, it did not prevent him from supplying the juice containing such abundant energy immortal fruits to the clansmen of the Ran family, as well as those subjects who were dependent on the Ran family......

There are so many of them, Ran Tianlei feels too satisfied. In terms of mentality, Luo Hongyi and Gu Nuannuan's positions have already been naturally ranked in front of the empire and His Majesty the Emperor. So he naturally didn't realize that there was something wrong with Luo Hongyi's words. After all, there is really no civilization in the interstellar world, and it is possible for any family to be generous enough to share a large amount of food and objects containing energy with other civilizations and other families.

No one is so stupid, it's really so selfless to let others be strong and catch up with their own civilization or the final fate of the family is definitely not good—

Just when Ran Tianlei was thinking for a while, the communicator on the console in front of him lit up. On the huge screen in front of the meeting, one of his cronies, the head of the captain of a battleship on the outermost part of the fleet, appeared on the big screen and saluted him: "Marshal, we found a small spaceship approaching us, and the other party took the initiative to communicate with us, claiming to be the spaceship of Lord and Madame. ”

As he finished speaking, an image of a spaceship was transmitted on the big screen.

"Master, man?" Ran Tianlei hurriedly looked at Gu Nuannuan and Luo Hongyi. "That's right, it's our ship." Luo Hongyi raised his eyes and glanced at the big screen and confirmed.

"Just let it go over here." Ran Tianlei thought that the two powerhouses on the spaceship were as powerful as Luo Hongyi and Gu Nuannuan and the attendants behind them, and they were agreed to stay behind to protect their families and fleets, so he couldn't help but hurriedly ordered.

"Tia, an intelligence from an interstellar fourth-level civilization; Hai Yan Niang and Hai Bao Niang are the wives and daughters of Hai Litian behind me; And Land Rover, Lu Kun—"

Waiting for Tia to control the spaceship and enter the main ship of the Fenglan, Luo Hongyi introduced the few people who got off the spaceship one by one to the Ran family father and son, and finally pointed to Ran Tianlei and said to Land Rover and Lu Kun, two fierce men who were transformed by tenth-order demon beasts in the space, who were more than two meters tall and had a tiger's back: "In the future, the two of you will temporarily follow him and protect the safety of him and the Ran family." What did he tell you to do, as long as it wasn't harmful to your lives or hurtful to nature, did you all cooperate and hear? ”

"I hear you."

Lu Rover and Lu Kun nodded innocently, then looked at Gu Nuannuan and Luo Hongyi reluctantly, hesitated and scratched their heads and asked, "Master, how long do we need to stay here?" When can I go back? ”

"Tentatively, it will be rotated every fifty years, and when the time comes, we will naturally send two more people to replace you with the fleet." For the two tenth-order demon beasts who had just left the space and began to think about going back, Luo Hongyi felt a little funny. However, he still answered their questions with kind words.
