Chapter 55: Decent People
In order to take over and govern all the planets in the Karsk system, Chen Mo spent most of the year on overall arrangements.
The newly formed Congregation of Domination established seven bishops, who were appointed governors on each planet.
These bishops weren't the most talented, or even the most collaborative, but they certainly had the most fanatical and loyal.
The seven bishops are more than willing to carry out a complete transformation to handle the complicated affairs of the government, refuse the bribes of the nobles of the native planet, and then punish the madmen who dare to question the authority of the gods and prophets.
Chen Mo made a tool from a standard building template and made it flow between the governors so that they could build residential and industrial areas, and when Chen Mo needed the tool himself, he would ask the god of ten thousand machines to directly teleport the tool.
The Karsk system flourished after the Great War.
However, there is another issue that needs to be dealt with urgently, and that is to honor the deal with Alia.
β¦β¦
Karsk VII, the new main star capital of Gtans.
In the tallest metal tower, Chen Mo stood in front of the window and looked at a small satellite near the main star.
This moon is much smaller than Terra's Moon, but because it is relatively small, it may be possible to make some modifications.
At the table behind Chen Mo sat Arya and Sophia, sisters communicating in the native dialect of Karsk 6.
The two had already asked Chen Mo to communicate privately first, so Chen Mo did not interfere.
"Now it's hard for us to ride a tiger, your request is very excessive, I warned you a long time ago."
"You deserve to warn me? During the Karlske V War, guess who ran to the mobile fortress at night and waited for the next morning to come down? β
"I ...... I was under too much pressure. Wait, how did you know that? β
"......" Arya gave Sophia a blank look, looking extremely helpless.
Once, when their father was dying, Arya was warned by her father not to give the merchant ship to her sister, or the naΓ―ve ghost would destroy the merchant ship and the territory that the family has passed down to this day.
Now it seems that this is indeed the case.
"No matter what." Arya smiled and said, "Don't think about the reward of the two planets, but if you idiot can offer the reward before you unbutton it, as I said, the reward will be cashed in long ago." β
"Don't play your businessman's tricks, our strength is not equal, what can you do if he slaps you after he agrees?" Sophia said with a frown.
"You have a point." Arya nodded, "Originally, I thought that he would lose both the rebels after this battle, and he would not be able to use force to restrain us at that time, but who would have thought that he would become stronger and stronger the more he fought." β
Then the two of them said a few more words, glancing at Chen Mo's reaction from time to time to confirm that he really didn't understand the dialect of Karsk VI.
After the conversation, Arya looked at Chen Mo's back and said, "Lord Prophet, we're done talking. β
"What a result." Chen Mo turned around and looked at Arya with kind eyes.
"My sister reprimanded me, you know, there is also a strict hierarchy within the aristocratic family, and she can reprimand my sister like a mother." Arya said helplessly.
"Huh." Chen Mole was happy.
Although she couldn't understand the conversation between the two just now, she could hear the tone of the conversation, and this Arya was definitely not reprimanded by her sister.
"Anyway, I realized that my asking price was too expensive, which was very unreasonable." Arya had a look on her face that recognized her mistake, "Merchants also have the rules of businessmen, and it is indeed inappropriate to ask for expensive rewards while people are in danger. β
Chen Mo knew that Arya wanted to retreat, and knew that the position of the planetary governor would not come, so it was better to take a step back.
After all, Arya is a decent person from an aristocratic background, and she can't just say that she is scared, so she has to find a decent excuse to withdraw from a decent step.
"I appreciate your righteous principles of conduct and business." Chen Mopi said with a smile.
"So." Arya took the opportunity to ask: "I hope to be your chief merchant, and if you need to buy ore and food or sell weapons in the future, I will be your first choice." β
Chen Mo thought about it.
He hadn't heard of the title of Chief Merchant, which was a right, and Arya would be involved in any big deal in the Karsk system in the future, and she would be able to earn benefits that other Ronin Traders couldn't even imagine.
"Prophet, that's not something to think about, is it?" Arya said, "I can use other Ronin Traders, but I have fought with you, and witnessed you change from the Lord of Karsk VII to the Lord of Karsk, can't I get any of this benefit?" β
"Yes." Chen Mo nodded, he thought that what Arya said was right, this woman had no merit and hard work.
"Great!" Arya jumped up excitedly.
Chen Mo could see from Arya's reaction how much benefit this girl would have in the future, even if she didn't have the position of the governor of the planet, she wouldn't lose, just by fighting side by side with the Myriad Machine God Prophet, she could gain great prestige.
"Aren't you doing your sister some favor?" Chen Mo asked.
"Nope." Arya shook her head and leaned over to Sophia, saying defiantly, "You never learn a lesson, so you should stay here, and I will take our family away and gradually develop into a world-famous family of ronin merchants." β
"You ......" Sophia was speechless for a moment, she didn't expect Arya to be so ruthless.
"My sister." Arya touched Sophia's long white hair, "You're a glorious Freedom Blade now. β
Sophia stared at Arya silently until she got up and ran into Arya and left.
Looking at the scene of the sisters breaking the wall, Chen Mo only felt that Arya was really a crumb, but it was a good thing that she didn't seek benefits for her sister.
Great thing.
"Lord Prophet." Arya suddenly looked at Chen Mo with a sincere expression.
"Say." Chen Mo nodded.
"She has held the line with you and pursued the enemy together." "If in the future she fights with other nobles and loses, that's for sure." I hope you can take a look at her so that she doesn't lose her life. β
Arya knew that Sophia would not just be a knight, she would also be rewarded for her merits, even if she would not gain a good deal in the trade, she would get a small piece of territory, and then fight with other nobles.
"Of course." Chen Mo nodded without hesitation, "She is a knight, I will not let a knight die in a conspiracy instead of on the battlefield." β
"Thank you, thank you very much." Arya saluted the Aquila, then turned to leave.
After walking out of the room, Arya bumped into Xu Yi head-on, and she realized that there was a psyker standing outside the room.
Xu Yi stared at Alya coldly, and did not enter the room until she apologized and left.
