In a very short period of time, Ma'ao has become more and more prosperous, and this planet may already be the most ethnically diverse planet in the Milky Way. Since Bai Zhongchu announced that the Pangalactic Iridium United Empire would establish an office in Ma'ao, all civilizations that have joined the United Empire have established offices in Ma'ao. Smaller civilizations may send teams of a few dozen to a few hundred people assigned to an office building. And the huge civilization may directly have more than 100,000 and hundreds of thousands of clerks come to Ma Aoxing.

Because Bai Zhongchu did not let the Iridians hand over the affairs of the Pan-Galactic Iridium United Empire to the Iridium people, and a considerable number of affairs of the United Empire were handled by a wide range of talented people from other civilizations, so many of the joining civilizations actively participated in the government affairs of the United Empire in order to improve their sense of presence in the United Empire, but also to seek benefits for their own civilization.

After the number of member civilizations of the Iridium United Empire exceeded 800, Bai Zhongchu announced that he would rename Ma Ao Star as the First Galactic Star, officially establishing it as the political capital of the United Empire. Iridium exists as the capital of Orion's Arm Territory.

The Iridium officials, who are efficient and experienced, have formulated various rules and regulations for the Pangalactic Iridium United Empire, and now they are recruiting officials from other civilizations to deal with them together. Iridium's Prime Minister Guo Lingmu had to move from Iridium to the First Galactic Star to assist the Führer in forming a pan-galactic United Empire government on the First Galactic Star. The original Iridium Cabinet retained the central authority as the Orion Arm Command.

The elegant and well-informed Prime Minister Guo Lingmu suddenly switched from dealing with the affairs of Iridium to dealing with the affairs of the United Empire, which manages the affairs of more than 800 civilizations, which is also very big. Although the member civilizations still have relatively large autonomy and handle their own administrative affairs, the United Empire government still has several large branches.

“…… At present, the most important task in the preparation of the United Imperial Government is the United Imperial Army, and the command of the United Imperial Army is in the Privy Council, and the management power is in the Joint Defense Department of the United Imperial Government. Now that the officers of the Ministry of Common Defense are almost filled, the next key business is to urge the civilizations to send good officers and soldiers, organize their training, and coordinate the budget and resource allocation with the United Imperial Government. Guo Lingmusk rarely introduced his work to Bai Zhongchu face-to-face, but it was more common for knights to hand over this kind of thing.

Bai Zhongchu nodded, he led and led the formation of the United Imperial Army, basically he had a clear grasp of the general direction, and all civilizations did not dare to be ambiguous in the process of supporting the establishment of the United Imperial Army. After all, if the United Empire is slow to act in this matter, and the United Empire does not send the Star Whale Beast Fleet, then their safety will be very problematic.

"To support the construction of the United Imperial Army, it takes money and resources, and this involves the United Imperial Bank, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Resources Supply, the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Industry, which have just been formed by the United Imperial Government. We have decided that trade between the civilizations of the United Empire will be settled entirely in energy currency, with a provision of 1 yuan per kilowatt-hour of energy. The United Imperial Bank will essentially become the base camp for the Empire's energy preparation and reserves, and in any of the participating civilizations, the United Dollar, which is used as electronic money, can be exchanged for 1 kilowatt hour of energy at will. However, this is not very significant, and its value is mainly used as a medium of exchange and a measure of price. ”

Iridium was originally in the form of artificially prescribed credit money, which itself had no value, and was itself a medium for the Iridium government to transfer various products necessary for production and life to citizens. Now the Pangalactic Iridium United Empire has "regressed" to the use of energy as a general equivalent, establishing a unified monetary system where civilizations can trade and exchange, also to better facilitate the flow of resources.

In fact, there are still big problems with this system, such as Iridium or Porkay, which have a higher civilization level, they can produce energy indefinitely, which is equivalent to printing money indefinitely. And if other resources and the manufacture of products cannot keep up, then the currency will depreciate. A civilization with strong energy technology has an advantage over a civilization with poor energy technology. The advantage of civilization level can quickly translate into a scissors gap, which is detrimental to many civilizations.

Therefore, in fact, in order to balance this fragile economic system, the Imperial Consulates of the United Empire stationed in various civilizations will continue to issue procurement lists to these civilizations according to the actual productivity and resources of the civilizations, and these civilizations will exchange the amount of orders to the Imperial Consulate through the development of resources or production, and with this money, they can purchase other products of other civilizations.

This is somewhat similar to the Keynesian route of government procurement expansion, except that Iridium does not have a scarcity of energy, so it can continue to promote production in this way. As for the higher civilizations, they can produce a large amount of energy without relying on the procurement of the Imperial Embassy, but these energy resources cannot be directly converted into joint dollar currency, which means that the participating civilizations do not have the right to mint.

The higher civilizations either similarly sold goods to the Imperial Consulate in exchange for currency, or they chose to hand in their energy and pay seigniorage to obtain it.

Relying on the Imperial Embassy system, the United Empire was able to concentrate different goods from different civilizations on the same platform, and determine trade with a relatively balanced supply and demand.

Naturally, civilizations like Iridium or Porkay basically do not have the problem of supply and demand, but have to supply, and if the manufacturing supply of these two civilizations is opened, it can meet all the needs of the entire United Empire, but then it will cause production damage to local civilizations. Therefore, for a higher civilization with highly developed productive forces, it is only allowed to supply surplus products through its own needs compensarily, and dumping actions are not allowed.

For example, if a high civilization needs 100 tons of gold, they can sell 100 tons worth of gold in exchange for the gold they need. However, when they did not have a demand for gold or other resources or commodities, the higher civilizations were not allowed to participate in the free market transactions of the United Empire. Of course, the Ministry of Trade will set some trade quotas for the higher civilizations, so that they can sell slightly more than they buy, but the scale will not be too large.

These civilizations are largely self-sufficient, and in fact the goods they buy may not be material goods but intangible goods, such as cultural goods, such as services, in which case excess trade is allowed.

By constructing such a trading system, the civilizations of the United Empire will be closer to each other, and their understanding of each other will be deepened to a certain extent.
