If you only look at the history books, His Majesty the Emperor, who personally created the Royal Mining Consortium, seems to be an ambitious generation of heroes.

Under his rule, the royal family began to take back power from the Privy Council in a very systematic and step-by-step manner. He used the Imperial Family's long-established Inner Treasury and the loyal Guards Fleet as a fulcrum, and through a series of dazzling operations such as boldly recovering power and distributing it with extreme generosity, he succeeded in rapidly expanding the empire with only five planets.

In Dussand's eyes, one of the most important policies of His Majesty the Emperor's "Imperial Will" during his lifetime was the order that "a pioneer can be a duke". It was this order that directly expanded the territory of the empire all the way to the huge size of the forty-two colonies it is today.

But it was also this order that ultimately brought the empire to the brink of bankruptcy. After the empire rapidly expanded from five planets to twenty-seven, the mere sending staff to the new colonies was on the verge of crumbling the empire's bureaucracy. What's even worse is that only six months have passed from the discovery of the twenty-seventh colony star to the discovery of the thirtieth colony star.

The two Imperial Finance Ministers smashed their jaws and heads with guns, but His Majesty's imperial will did not waver in the slightest. But at the same time, His Majesty the Emperor also made some concessions - according to the original imperial decree, all mining rights in the entire empire should be owned by the mining consortium.

After the concession, the mining consortium's mining activities on the colony will need to be approved by the Privy Council of the colony planet. And this concession brought considerable revenue to the precarious imperial finances.

The nobles who had relented bought a large number of treasury bonds issued by the Imperial Ministry of Finance, and the total amount of purchases was so large that the then deputy finance minister thought that he was crazy.

In short, after paying the chin and head of two finance ministers and one finance vice-minister, the empire's economy quickly improved. And the relevant policy has continued to this day.

Forty-two colonies provide an unimaginably large amount of tax revenue to the empire every year, and the empire has become the most powerful country in the entire sea of stars. By contrast, the Liberal Alliance, which was more politically and organizationally loose, was beaten into a rat in the cargo hold.

And the Star Sea Federation, which survives in the farther Star Sea, has no sense of existence at all - they are like the "virgin's navel eyes" that teenagers often talk about. Everyone knew there was such a thing, but no one had seen it with their own eyes.

Everyone knows that farther in the starry sky, there is a country called the "Star Sea Federation", but their understanding of this country ends here. The existence of the Star Sea Federation is basically concentrated in the various luxury products that can be seen occasionally on the black market.

The Empire and the Free Alliance are currently at peace, but there is really not much difference between such a state of peace and war. As soon as the Imperial Guard finds a ship of the Alliance in the sea of stars, it will immediately open fire and sink the opponent. The people of the League are not good men without tempers. Their fleet could not confront the Empire head-on, but they sent a large number of spies into the Empire to carry out sabotage.

One of the most important parts of the Heraldic Authority's current work is the fight against Allied spies.

"This is for me?" Looking at the notes and historical records in the manor saw a dizzy Dussand, who received a huge package at noon on the fourth day. The butler had the three manservants carry the heavy packages into Dussand's room, and asked where the little master should receive them.

"Yes, Mr. Lord." The butler nodded and said, "Judging by the postmark, this package is from the Upper Albin City. ”

...... Albin? Dussand's sudden excitement led to him snatching a letter opener from his desk and rushing to the side of the package.

When he invited Rosen to dinner before, he mentioned the problem he and Polina faced - the gas engine needed a liquid with a high heat capacity and not easy to boil and freeze as a coolant.

Rosen said at the time that he had really heard of a similar chemical product, which was used more in printing houses. He was able to get a batch of samples to send to Dussander in a matter of days.

This package is supposed to contain this amazing compound, right?

Dusander, who had never opened a courier package in ten years, excitedly opened the kraft paper in front of him, and then was dismayed to find that what was contained in it was not an ideal coolant at all.

In the vellum were six large books thicker than Dussand's head. There are no logos on the spine or cover, but they are numbered. At the top of the six books, the notebook that had been handed over to the heraldic office lay silently on it.

Dussander rolled his eyes, the old fox of Bourne really didn't have a good heart. actually sent so many books to myself - what is the difference between this and the devilish act of sending more than a dozen sets of volumes instead of giving out red envelopes during the Chinese New Year?!

After he had sent away the butler and a few of the manservants in front of him, Dussander began to pack up the large thick books. When he picked up the notebook, he found that there was a letter inside.

The letter didn't have a letterhead and signature in the format it should be, and it looked more like a sticky note in an envelope.

The sticky notes are simple, but they're just as powerful.

"Your butler is a source from Feuerbach."

Dussand's hand shook and he almost threw the note to the ground.

The source of the fraudster Feuerbach has always been something that Dussaint is very concerned about. Although in the communication with his mother that night, his speculation was directly interrupted. But this does not prevent Dusson's reasoning from validating.

The Royal Mining Consortium is gathering information about its own home, and the collection of information is almost always the same.

The other party's things are done very carefully, and the connection between them and the inner ghost must be very hidden. The inner ghost doesn't know the connector, and the other party's connector must change often - otherwise it would be impossible to explain why Feuerbach was able to get information with his fraudulent identity badge.

Judging from the information leaking from Feuerbach's mouth, this inner ghost may not necessarily be an important person in the manor, but the source must be very flexible.

It was judged that "Lady Androni and Harold were in a state of hostility, and that Lord Dusand had played a huge role in it". It is enough to prove that the other party has access to very core information.

The existence of such a person in the manor is enough to worry Dussand. After all, the manor was on his couch. In such an important place, it is unacceptable for others to sleep soundly, not to mention that the person who is sleeping soundly is still a guy with a different heart.

Now, the Heraldic Authority has revealed the mystery directly to Dussand. This made it difficult for Dussand, who had been holding back a bunch of tentative plans in his stomach for three days.

It's not a big deal that those tentative plans died halfway, but this thief is actually a housekeeper...... This is very troublesome for Dussand.

If other subordinates leak the information, it's a big deal to find a way to kill people. But this strategy may be difficult for the steward to implement.

He had too much information to tell.
