Chapter 020: Baron of Asturias
Baron of Asturias, the highest-ranking nobleman on the planet Mertura, on a planet with a population of 50 million, there are countless people who want to see him every day to discuss all kinds of things, many of them are poor, and Asturias has no interest in caring about the lives of those who are not willing to work hard; Some of them were crooks, and they even had to know how to convince them to invest in themselves in the name of the Great Pioneer Era, but unfortunately, Asturias was so well-informed that he could easily see through the tricks of these crooks and throw them all in jail.

In contrast, Asturias would have more to do with the Pioneers, he was originally a man who loved this sea of stars, and if he were not bound by a fiefdom, he would rather pilot a faster-than-light spaceship and gallop through the vast universe to open up territory for His Majesty, planting the glorious banner of Faron on the planets.
Therefore, he is now a pioneer partner, he will decide whether to invest financial, material or human resources according to the development plan of those pioneers, and sometimes, he will even make his own opinion, personally consider the development plan, and then entrust it to those pioneers to implement, which will make him feel a little more fulfilled.
Recently, for example, after learning that the pioneers of the Kingdom of Faron had found the edge of the unknown land, and that he might be able to find clues to the legendary route to the East, he decided to build a frontier on the planet known as St. Calan.
If the Pioneers find the Eastern Route, the planet named San Karan will undoubtedly become a vital transit point on the Pioneers' routes, shouldering the burden of connecting the kingdom with the mysterious ancient kingdom, so this should be a very good commission, and Asturias even expects that several famous veteran Pioneers will find him and compete for his commission.
Reality hit me hard.
Although they thought that they were close to exploring the unknown for some time, the number of pioneers not far from the eastern route was not very large, and the thought of going to such a distant planet would make even those who aspire to become immigrants feel apprehensive about it.
"Damn, it looks like I'm going to organize the fleet to set up a frontier!" Asturias had a sense of mission and complained in a bad mood.
His attendants and relatives hurriedly grabbed him: "Ah, Lord Baron, your status is so noble, how can you go to that barren land where birds don't?" ”
The courage that Asturias mustered vanished in an instant, and the people around him were equally relieved, if the baron did run away into the unknown, wouldn't they have to suffer with him? Oh my God, they don't want to.
But at this moment, the robot came with the news that a guest was visiting, and it was related to the commission of the construction pioneer, hearing this news, Asturias was very interested, got up, browsed the information of the visitor, and muttered: "Three young people? Signing up as a trailblazer doesn't seem to have much time? It's not a liar again, is it? But ah, that faster-than-light ship is the real thing, even if it turns to ashes, I recognize it, it used to belong to Silva's guts guy. ”
Asturias decided to meet the man named Sumu, who seemed to be a pioneer of outsiders.
……
Baron Asturias was so fat that Su Mu stood in front of him like a fawn.
The baron's servants stood on either side with solemn expressions, not talking nonsense, not making useless expressions, in order to maintain the prestige of the nobles, and not far away several unmarried daughters of Asturias, large and small, gathered together and chattered about something, the topic seemed to be the pioneer who stood before their father.
"Tell me, why do you want to take the commission?" After the introductions, Asturias asked, a question he would ask every trailblazer he met who wanted to have something to do with him.
Su Mu replied loudly: "Very simply, Lord Baron, according to my speculation, I think that the clue or entrance to the Eastern Route must be near the unknown land of St. Calan, but so far it has not been found, so it is a wise and far-sighted idea to build a pioneer there." ”
"You're confident." Asturias listened, somehow feeling joy and pride, who allowed himself to be called wise and discerning by the other party? Because many of the pioneers he met these days were not interested in the construction of his own pioneer land, and even openly said that the baron was an idiot, completely whimsical, thinking of building a pioneer in such a place where no one was around, and suddenly meeting Su Mu, a pioneer who suited his own taste, made Asturias have an idea of whether to marry his daughters who no one wanted to marry him.
After a flash of thought, Asturias felt that he had to ask a few questions, at present, Su Mu's sincerity has been there, and in terms of strength, it is not a big problem to have his own faster-than-light spaceship, so the following is whether he can give himself some more practical proof, showing that he is indeed very interested in participating in the commission.
"So, tell me what you're going to do?" Asturias asked.
"My opinion is that the legendary Oriental Route is about to fall into the pockets of Farion, and in my opinion, it is necessary to speed up the construction and use of the open land as soon as possible, so as not to be preempted. So I will personally go to supervise the construction of the development site and invest at least 1 billion yuan. “
"You're going to go in person?" Asturias couldn't help but be a little impressed by Su Mu, knowing that the pioneers were willing to stay at ease to build the pioneer land, rather than leaving a bunch of immigrants, and there were only a handful of people who patted their butts and left.
"That's right, I think it's necessary to develop the pioneer as soon as possible." Su Mu continued-
"The first goal of the development of the development area is to provide supply capacity, which will allow the spacecraft to immediately start a new round of voyage without returning to the hinterland of the region."
"The second is to develop the entertainment service business, only these industries can generate more economic growth points, so that the development of land to maintain prosperity."
"Considering that there may be hostile countries that believe in Shinrikyo on the Eastern Route, the third goal of the frontier is to have sufficient defense against the invasion of the star pirates, enemy fleets, and to protect our pioneers."
In fact, when Su Mu said this, Asturias was already very satisfied, he nodded, stopped him from continuing: "You said it very well, it made me understand that you are a pioneer with both determination and perseverance. I'm willing to entrust it to you, I don't know what you want? “
"Thank you very much for your support and recognition, and I believe that one day in the future you will not regret your decision today." Su Mu said this first, and continued to pat the ass, anyway, he would not lose a little meat, which made Asturias a little fluttery.
He said: "In the hope of additional financial support, the Baron should know that since the time is so short, and there are three directions of simultaneous development, it will definitely fall into relative poverty in the short term, so I expect a sum of 500 million in aid." ”
"Huh? 500 million? Asturias was stunned, so according to the previous statement, it means that Su Mu only plans to give out 500 million?
Fortunately, as the highest-ranking nobleman on the planet of Mertura, Asturias is really rich in his family, at least hundreds of billions, and he promised a drizzle of money for himself and was willing to be used as a commissioned upfront investment.
"In addition, I want to get the nobility of the Frontier Land." Su Mu continued.
"Uh, that's right." Asturias considered that it was a common practice, even if it was not mentioned, and that it was a knight, not hereditary, and in the middle of nowhere, and in the middle of nowhere, he replied, "No problem." ”
"Then I hope to select pioneers who are willing to immigrate from Mertura to go to the planet for early land reclamation and construction, the number is about 500, and I hope to keep this number growing in the future."
"You've got a lot of requests," Asturias muttered, but they were indeed related to commissions, and he had no complaints, catching a glimpse of one of his attendants, greeting him, intending to introduce Su Mu to several mayors of the planet, believing that it would be easy to get immigrants through their channels.
Su Mu just kept talking, putting forward all kinds of bits and pieces of small requests, it was indeed a lot, it was really a small matter for Asturias, but it would be a waste of time if Su Mu solved it himself, why not let the baron solve it? Save yourself a headache.
Finally, they conclude a deed of entrustment.
According to the agreement, Su Mu needs to complete the initial construction of the pioneer site after a year, and the population reaches 5000, so the commission is completed, and the formal remuneration of the commission is also a sum of 500 million money, which may not be anything for Su Mu at that time, but for the pioneers, it is actually a very generous remuneration that meets the difficulty of the commission.
