The afternoon sun, warm and comfortable, with a warm breeze with the smell of herbs, makes people involuntarily give birth to a lazy mood, to be able to take a nap in such an environment, it must be a very pleasant thing.

In the Yun family's mansion, on an open-air basketball court, a group of young and lively girls are sweating and enthusiastic, competing for the basketball with great interest, and from time to time there are bursts of coquettish scolding, and there is a group of substitute players next to them who are eager to try.

Although the game is in full swing, the focus of attention is obviously not on the court at all, the cheerleaders, alternates, various maid guards, and even the girls running back and forth on the court, their eager eyes will sweep the stands on the side of the field from time to time.

A group of high-ranking families were sitting there, including the current head of the family, Prince Yun Tianyun, the speaker of the Imperial House of Nobles, the Zhou family, the Song family, the Augustine family, and the heads of several other major families were all present!

It's not uncommon for so many big people to leave anything else behind and come over to watch a group of girls play, even though the girls present are all very good-looking.

However, the heads of the family did not show any absent-mindedness, and their focus was not actually on the court, but on the handsome and fair-skinned young man beside Yun Tianyun.

“…… The family's pioneering fleet is ready to go to the Savage Star Domain at any time, and the specific detection range and engineering details have been reported, just waiting for His Majesty's approval!" Yun Tianyun smiled and told him about the family's exotic resource development plan!

Yun Haoyu bowed slightly, and said: "In this case, tomorrow the ministers will be able to see the official approval, this important policy of the empire is still in the trial stage, and the specific details still need to be improved, but you can do it, if there is any problem, I will naturally order someone to deal with it in time." ”

He was talking about several new policies recently promulgated by the Imperial Government, which aimed to encourage the Empire's elites, civil groups, and individuals to develop the Savage Star Domain, and find and mine all kinds of rare resources that the Empire urgently needed, so as to promote the Empire's economic development!

Similar plans have also been implemented from time to time in the previous Star Sea countries, in the continuous expansion of human beings to the outside world, expanding the living space, the power of the people is a factor that cannot be ignored, countless business groups and even individual adventurers are rushing into the unfamiliar wild star field to find opportunities, making the pace of expansion of the human world greatly accelerated!

Although quite a number of people and groups have gained nothing or even lost their lives, the harvest of a few people has still brought rich benefits to the human world, and has stimulated generations of adventurers to rush to the savage star field that is full of murderous opportunities and great opportunities!

Since the Starlight Empire has been unified, this policy that is of great significance to enhancing the strength of the human race will naturally not be forgotten by the top echelons of the empire, Yun Haoyu convened the ministers to discuss many times, and on the basis of learning from the previous national systems, he began to formulate a more elaborate and perfect "Exotic Exploration Decree" to encourage private groups and individuals to develop the rich resources of the Savage Star Domain!

The decree stipulates that if one or more mineral resources can be found in the Savage Star Domain and are on the Imperial Government procurement list, the government will buy all of them at a suitable price! If you can discover a new resource that is of great value to the Empire, the Imperial Government will give you a generous material reward!

If you are lucky enough to discover a new wormhole, a new waterway, or an ecological planet suitable for human habitation, and are willing to transfer ownership to the Imperial government, then in addition to the material rewards, you can also get a lot of policy care, and get a knighthood to join the ranks of the Imperial nobility!

Of course, in addition to the civil forces, those big families at the top of the empire, and even the royal family itself will not be idle, they have strong enough economic and technological strength to form a more professional, more advanced and powerful expedition fleet, and search for resource star fields, ecological planets, and some unknown intelligent races in the depths of the vast and wild star sea, and so on!

The more you invest, the greater the return! For example, the newly established Exotic Development Group under the royal family, under the responsibility of the imperial concubines Xia Qiying and Catherine, obtained a gratifying harvest on the first departure, and discovered several high-quality resource star fields, in which there are more than 60 resource planets with rich reserves!

However, the reason why they can be rewarded so quickly is that their equipment is the most advanced, and because they have dispatched the elite Praetorian Guard to escort them, and even the Death Star ship has been transferred, they can easily overcome the dangerous environment of the Savage Star Field, and turn the original dangerous expedition into a leisure activity like a mountain tour! If it were other families and forces, there would be no such conditions for envy!

In the long run, the royal family will control more and more resources, which is also a fast way to enhance the strength of the royal family! The conditions of the other big families could not be compared with the royal family, although Yun Haoyu had promised that they could also take the form of "lease" if necessary, and after paying enough fees, invite the Praetorian Guard Legion or even the Death Star ship to participate in their expedition plan, but the gap between the two sides was still not so easy to bridge.

For the sake of consolidating the imperial power, many special strategic weapons, including the Death Star Ship, large-scale production lines of five-star or above supernatural equipment, the smelting and purification technology of new energy crystals, and the production technology of genetic optimization reagents above level 8 are all in the hands of the royal family, and the top 1,000 big families in the empire can only get a small quota of finished products every year.

In addition, the royal family will also sell some finished products to the people in the form of immediate auctions, and then special rewards for some meritorious soldiers, etc.! Only the armed forces of the royal family will be supplied without restrictions!

This move can fundamentally restrain the expansion rate of the power of the wealthy families, making it difficult for them to pose a substantial threat to the imperial power, so as to maintain the unity of human civilization for as long as possible!

The heads of these wealthy families are well aware of this, but they can't say anything about it, and can only plan for the family as much as the rules allow. Anyway, His Majesty the Emperor is still a reasonable person, as long as his bottom line is not touched, many things are not negotiable.

“…… Your Majesty! Yun Tianyun hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke:

"I don't know what the old minister mentioned to you last time, I don't know how you thought about it? If you're willing to say yes, then ......"

Yun Haoyu glanced at him and said with a slight smile: "Although this kind of big guy is easy to use, it is really too expensive, it can be said to be a veritable gold-swallowing beast, are you sure to stick to your own ideas?" ”

As early as a few months ago, His Royal Highness the Prince was planning to pool the financial resources of several families and pool the money to buy a Death Star ship from the royal family to be used as the flagship of the exotic expedition fleet! The advantage of this is that it can greatly improve the development efficiency, reduce casualties and losses, and has a huge positive significance for the rapid improvement of the family's strength!

Of course, the price of the Death Star ship is not cheap, and the daily maintenance and combat operation costs are even more ridiculously high, in addition to the royal family and the empire, even these top big families are a little unbearable!

If they insist on doing so, it means that the family will have to fill in all the financial surpluses of the last few years, and they will have to take on huge debts, and it will not be possible to turn a profit for at least the next ten years! If they can't get enough of it in the Savage Star Field.

However, in the long run, with such a strategic weapon, the benefits for the family are still obvious! That's why His Royal Highness the Prince will make up his mind to get it even if he smashes the pot and sells iron!

Zhou Junyi said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the significance of the Death Star Ship to a family cannot be measured by Yuan Jing at all, so Lao Chen has enough psychological preparations. Of course, even if you get this thing, your courtiers' loyalty to the empire and your majesty will not change in the slightest, you can rest assured! ”

"Hehe, Zhuqing's loyalty has passed the test of time, and I can naturally be trusted!" Yun Haoyu smiled, "Since you have decided, then so be it!" Of the ten Death Star ships stationed in the Imperial Capital, which one do you fancy, just pick it! In addition, I will ask the Central Bank of the Empire to provide you with a sufficient amount of loans, so as to save the family from a poor cash flow and an economic crisis! ”

The heads of the family were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked His Majesty the Emperor for his generosity!

For this important decision, Yun Haoyu did not think about it carefully, he considered it from the standpoint of the entire empire. The development and prosperity of the human race cannot be completely solved by relying on the royal family alone! That must be the overall strength of the whole society!

Although these bigwigs are thinking about the interests of their own families, from the overall point of view, objectively they are still enhancing the power of the human world, which is not contrary to his bottom line!

What's more, the manufacturing technology of this strategic weapon is still in the hands of the royal family, including all kinds of supporting maintenance equipment, all kinds of special logistics materials, special high-purity energy spars, etc., all of which must be purchased from the royal family. If he can't get these things, the combat power of the Death Star ship will be greatly weakened, so he is not worried that the other party will have some undue thoughts because of this.

The construction of a new batch of Death Star ships has begun, and the Imperial Academy of Sciences is still developing a more powerful second-generation Death Star ship, regardless of the number or technical superiority, the royal family is in an absolutely strong position, so he naturally doesn't have to mind anything.

The heads of the families who got their wishes smiled happily, and Yun Tianyun pointed to the beautiful girls in the field and explained enthusiastically:

"Your Majesty is visiting the family mansion this time, these girls are specially arranged by the minister, and they are the most outstanding unmarried women in the descendants of several families such as the minister, if Your Majesty takes a fancy to anyone, you might as well bring them back to the palace!"
