Chapter 248: The Price of Freedom

Just when Chu Hua and his party were playing an adventurous game.

Cortana, who was far away in Great Xia, got a lot of amazing news.

After an investigation by the newly established Works Supervision Bureau, the corruption in the territory exceeded her expectations, and the cumbersome procedures were extremely complicated.

The so-called corruption is to steal profits in the project.

Most contractors engage in corrupt practices by winning projects at very low prices and then bribing officials to expand their operations.

When combined, the profits that can be obtained are huge.

"But what caused the explosion in the tower?"

In the Superintendent's office, Cortana looked at the report in front of her and pondered for a long time.

Corruption within the empire was somewhat different.

Instead of cutting corners, designing critical facilities is one step above the standard.

What does this mean?

In the eyes of others, they are completely charity.

However, in Cortana's opinion, there is some understanding.

As the core of the Dawn Alliance, Great Xia has many member countries.

Even if they can open up a market for a colony, the contractor will be well fed.

And the premise of all this is to have the certification of Daxia, and only for the official to do the project, others will recognize the brand value of the contractor.

Therefore, it is quite normal to exceed the project standard with profits.

"But that's not a reason to win a bid."

Images of a column of contractors and officials appeared in the air, and Cortana swiped her fingers to announce their fate.

If the construction unit of the project can be selected, it is tantamount to exposing the enemy's weakness.

Even if it is a corrupt act that is beneficial to Great Xia, the administrative center will not allow such a thing to happen!

Cortana rubbed her eyebrows, two days of thorough investigation had made her understand a very important truth.

The heyday of the empire was far from being as stable as it had imagined.

Although His Majesty has said a description of stability, it is only a statistic for the ruler.

Can five percent of 100 be the same as five percent of 1000?

Great Xia is no longer a power empire with only a few dozen galaxies at the beginning, and the problem of expansion is only hidden because of its strength.

"It's not easy to be a starlord......" Cortana sighed.

At this moment, a notice of request for the office to open the door sounds, and after she agrees, a young girl wearing glasses can be seen walking in.

She has short and medium hair similar to Cortana, and she doesn't look outstanding, and if she posts the photo on the Internet, she will probably get the evaluation of a local girl.

This evaluation is not derogatory, some people just like it.

As for the fact that myopia surgery is so advanced now, why she doesn't solve the problem of myopia, I can only say that it is a personal reason......

"Teacher, drink some sherads, you've been busy for two days." The girl walked in with a teapot and a cup, and gave a gentle word of comfort.

Cortana smiled a little relaxed when she saw the comer, "Raider, I thought you had already gone back."

The girl who was called the attacker shook her head and poured Shelatea for Cortana: "Why, the corruption project hasn't been investigated yet, and you haven't left, how can I just leave."

Cortana was stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment.

I wanted to say that as a star governor, the plan of his own time should be strictly followed.

But I thought that I didn't commute to work according to the regulations, and some words were difficult to say.

"Alright, when the data from Lanxi's side is sent for review, let's leave together."

"Well, please let me do my part~"

It has been five years since he became a Star Governor, and he has witnessed the vigorous development of the Great Xia Empire.

Although he is still very young according to his average age, it is time to start the work of cultivating a successor.

The attacker was chosen by her hand

of candidates.

Born in the main star Dongdu, he has excellent grades, is shrewd and capable, and has a sincere heart.

In all respects, except for a softer personality, Cortana is quite satisfied with the performance of the attacker.

Even if he is not the next chief star governor, it is not too much to be sent to other regions to be an ordinary star governor.

But before that, the attacker still needs to exercise.

The two took a short break and enjoyed a special sheradstea.

This is a powder extracted from the Shelad plant, which has a certain therapeutic effect after drinking, and a few sips when you are okay can also relieve fatigue and unclog blood vessels.

Some companies even played: "No gifts will be accepted during the New Year, only sherad tea will be accepted as gifts." slogan.

Relying on relatively good efficacy and expensive prices, many companies have made a fortune.

"Teacher, there is one thing I don't understand, our finances are so rich, why don't we just waive most of the taxes and let the projects of various enterprises expand rapidly?"

During the break, the attacker asked curiously based on what he had learned.

Cortana thought for a moment, "That's what you said, I've thought so too."

"I don't know if you've ever heard the phrase that taxes are a necessary price for civilized society, and when applied to interstellar society, it actually applies as well.....

Although the ruler has supreme power, many decisions are made by the Star Governor himself.

There is a lot to learn about how to manage a galaxy or even an administrative region.

Not long after the two talked and studied, the information compiled from Lanxi's administration finally arrived.

Cortana and the raider glanced at each other and smiled, "Okay, now teach you the management of subject country relations, the school doesn't teach this thing~"

"Well, I'll work hard!"

Back to the desk.

Cortana flipped through the key information, and the data was given to the attacker.

But looking at it, Cortana frowned, and the flipping through stopped moving.

"Teacher, I found that Lanxi's side has a lot of money flowing very strangely..."

As the attacker handed over the data, Cortana's eyes lit up.

Combined with some spy intelligence she knew, she immediately saw one thing.

Someone's going to do something to Lanxi's interstellar ***!

"Confused? Not for anyone else? But why is that?"

Three questions lit up in Cortana's mind.

She immediately stood up and said to the attacker, "Contact Lanxi's Administration Department immediately!"

The attacker quickly understood the importance of the matter and acted quickly.

Cortana launched an exclusive communication, ready to warn His Majesty Chu Hua.

The interstellar *** is intricately organized.

In order to ensure independence and increase everyone's trust, in addition to controlling the armed units, Great Xia will not interfere too much in the administration, nor does it force other forces to abide by the rules and regulations of Great Xia.

But after dealing with affairs today, Cortana understood one thing.

When power is too fragmented, there will inevitably be people who take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos.

This is also the price of freedom.
