Not long after talking to Yelicia about her whereabouts, news came in from the head of Pedes.

The female captain's room has an interface to the communication device, where Gu Hang can directly see the virtual scene of the star sector leader generated on the device.

The image is not stable, with flickering ripples, but it can communicate with the flying wings countless light years away in real time, which is already an out-and-out black technology.

This can only be done with the help of special psionic devices, as well as an array of advanced contemplatives that can only be configured at the cruiser level, and advanced navigators.

In Gu Hang's sight, what he saw was a middle-aged man with a calm demeanor, rimless round glasses, meticulously groomed hair and short beard, and a rather gentle appearance. A simple suit does not show that he is luxurious, but he is hung with many medals, showing his noble status.

Even though there is some noise when he is countless light years away, when he speaks, he can still convey the gentleness, magnetism, and charm of his voice to those who hear it.

"Good evening, it's the night of Wings, what time are you there? In any case, I would like to congratulate you on another victory for the Empire, which is your honor, and allow me to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the Imperial Star District Government. ”

Mr. Summit's opening remarks, combined with his voice as he spoke, were very infectious.

Gu Hang bowed slightly: "Thank you, Mr. Chief." ”

Elicia didn't speak, but stepped aside.

Her action made it clear that this conversation was Gu Hang's search for Pei Desi.

Pei Desi also understood, he faced Gu Hang with a smile and said, "Gu Hang, the last time we met was before you rushed to work. I had high expectations for you, but despite this, I never thought you would be able to do so well. ”

That's just a polite remark.

By so good, it means that the entire planet has only recovered one city so far, right?

Of course, what rank is Pedes? He doesn't let his words look like he's talking nonsense. I only heard him continue: "Although I don't know how far you have rebuilt the ruling order of the Raging Owl now, I can see a powerful planetary force that is not worse than the main force of the Astral Army; I can see that even the Space Marines are working for you; I know that the finite land you control on the planet is bursting with infinite life. ”

"To be honest, I was very dismissive of you when I learned that when you arrived on the surface of the planet, you chose to start all over again, slowly seize control of power, and choose to completely reshape the order of the alliance that was established by the Governor of the Angry Owl generation decades ago. But now, it seems, that you are right, at least for now, on the right path. Perhaps, the governors of the past simply lacked the courage and action of you. You have given me hope, the hope that the Emperor's glory will shine over the land of the Angry Owl. ”

"Every governor in the zone has to see your deeds, I'm not kidding. Those people, with their noble status, rule over hundreds of millions of people, but they have never encountered the same hardship as you. If you put them in the same position as you, they must not be doing as well as you. ”

After hearing these words, Gu Hang had to admit that the head of Pei Desi was really a powerful figure.

A dignified head of the Star District, the supreme leader of the Star District Securities, faced himself who could only be regarded as a 'little person' so far, but he was able to pull down his face and blow wildly.

None of the eight governors of the Angry Star is like you, and all of them will be on par with you; It is because of you that the glory of the emperor is once again shrouded in the land of the Angry Star......

But with his mellow voice and his sincere attitude, he is not disgusted.

Touting is one thing, the key is touting with examples, which can really scratch the itch in people's hearts.

If Gu Hang's resistance wasn't high enough, he would really be stunned.

However, he still showed a slightly complacent look, but at the same time he was grateful to the head of Pedes, and said: "I can be where I am today thanks to Mr. Summit's appreciation. I will never forget this grace in my life. However, at this point in our career at the Angry Owl, some crises are also highlighted. Blackbird Heavy Industries did not obey the Governor's orders, and even after I arrived on the planet, he never contacted me on his own initiative, and there was a risk of rebellion; Inside the planet, a large number of mutated monsters have appeared, which have greatly troubled the planet's food-producing areas; Not to mention, now that there is a threat from the green-skinned orcs, the Iron Tooth Clan will definitely not give up with those blasphemous alien temperaments after suffering a big loss......

"Countless risks loom over the Angry Owl, and there is an urgent need for the power of the Astral Army to help me suppress the planet."

It's not an editor.

According to Gu Hang's intelligence, Blackbird Heavy Industry is entrenched in the west of the mainland, and further west in the Western Desert, it is indeed not a bird for him. Behind this business is the shadow of the Fetcher family, which is Pedes's enemies, and treating them as rebels has no psychological barriers.

Mutant monsters are real, and the Aoya region is suffering.

The threat of the greenskins is also real, twelve warships are coming, is that threat very terrifying?

To garrison, as a matter of course!

After listening to Gu Hang's words, Pei Desi frowned slightly, and sighed a little embarrassed: "I fully understand the difficulties you are encountering now, but the transfer of the Astral Army is very difficult, and it is not something I can decide." I will definitely try to fight for you, but please hold on for a while, and be sure to wait for support. ”

The words are beautiful, but there are no real promises, nothing more than procrastination.

As the head of the star sector, he really didn't have the power to mobilize the Astral Army, but he definitely had a way, it was just that he didn't want to pay that price.

The Imperial Navy sent you a ship in orbit, and then sent you dozens or millions of main legions of the Astral Army, so do you want to give you another amount of reconstruction materials?

I'll just be the governor of this planet.

But Gu Hang would not let go of Mr. Head so easily.

He took advantage of the situation and put forward his previous idea, that is, to form a new Astral Army unit with the money of the Imperial Tax of the Angry Owl, which will be stationed on the Angry Owl.

Of course, I am a loyal servant of the Empire, and I am impassioned and willing to contribute to the difficulties of the current situation, the troubles of the Chief, and the threats faced by the Star Sector. The empire collects taxes and then builds an army, and there will inevitably be losses in the middle; Sending additional troops over is difficult to mobilize. Then it is better to simply convert the tax of the angry star into the cost of building the army, and the first phase of preferential taxes promised by the head of the state will not be preferential, just give it to me. 10 million tax coins, I will pull out a Astral Army unit for you, the kind that is guaranteed to pass the review of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Taxation.

In a vague way, Gu Hang emphasized three points: first, the commander of this astral army wants him to decide; Second, the location of this new Astral Army must be the Raging Star; Third, the long-term mission of this astral army should be to ensure the safety of the angry star, including suppressing the rebellion, pacifying mutant monsters, and defending against aliens.

Pei Desi pondered for a moment and said that this plan is supported in principle, but there are many difficulties.

The first is that there is no money, and secondly, the three points required by Gu Hang are difficult to do, especially the third point.

The first point is okay, who is not sent by the commander?

The second point is that although the Astral Army has moved to the Sea of Stars, it has to have a relatively fixed station for dozens or millions of people to eat, drink, and sleep, and it is not impossible to fall into the Raging Star.

But the third point is the most difficult, it is not a simple matter to ensure that the Ministry of Military Affairs will not transfer this corps away casually. Normally, normal Astral Army troops, whenever there is a war, they will be transferred as soon as they say so, and this is directly under the control of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and theoretically no one can stop it.

Of course, there is actually a way. Emphasis on regional threats, emphasis on the role of the garrison, and the ability to find replacements from elsewhere in the War Department when needed......

But there is a political cost to be paid, and Peders is not very happy to do it.

Of course, Gu Hang didn't give up so easily.

Verbal swords, bargaining, these are the most basic.

To the back, Gu Hang faintly put forward two points:

I can give up this plan, but if I don't have enough bullet power, I'll have to talk to Blackbird Heavy Industries and the Fatcher family behind them, and it just so happens that our Gu family is still repairing relations with them. Thinking about it from another angle, they want to be angry with the Owl Star, I am now the Governor of the Angry Owl Star, and I am from the Gu family, I will help them solve this problem, and there is nothing wrong with being a puppet governor who doesn't care about anything, it is better than being finished.

Or, I can also not engage in nonsense, and I will tell the Ministry of Military Affairs what the specific situation of the previous naval battle was. What kind of vanguard fleet of the Iron Tooth Clan, what kind of large-scale invasion was thwarted in the early stage, there was nothing to do, it was just an accidental group of pirates, and the quintet was going to run away, and I forced this battle to fight.

Hearing the meaning of the latter, Yelicia, who was sitting next to her, looking at the two men, an old man and a young man, who was eating melons and eating with relish, was dumbfounded.

Why is it my business?

Okay, you Gu Hang, just now you kept saying that you can't bear me, dig a pit now?

Bah! Scumbag!

She glared at Gu Hang angrily, but saw Gu Hang winking at her.

She was so angry that her teeth itched, and if it weren't for the presence of the head of Pedes, she would have wanted to go up and bite him.

Gritting her teeth, she had to speak, expressing her meaning: the battle situation is a fact that has been determined, and there is no need to discuss this.

Just kidding, the old lady is about to be a rising star, can there be such a stain?

Pedes had to take into account Elixia's attitude, or rather the Fofana family behind her. The Gu family in the Iron Triangle is no longer stable, and no matter how unstable Fofana is, his leader is really stormy.

He talked to Gu Hang again, and basically agreed to this matter, but in many details, he still needs to talk about it further.

In the next three months, the Sing Kong District Government will allocate a total of 2.5 million tax dollars. In addition, when Gu Hang became governor for two years, the 2.5 million taxes that should be paid must be invested in the construction of the army. When the time comes, the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Taxation will go to the Raging Star at the same time to inspect it. Can his new army, in all respects, reach the value of five million tax coins?

And the other five million tax coins still have to wait two years later, as the imperial tax paid by the star district, to help the angry star pay it.

The reason why he didn't give it all to Gu Hang now was obviously because he didn't want to give it. Two years more in the hand is two years, and the government of the star district is not rich.

For the plan that came out in the end, Gu Hang was basically able to accept it.

After a year and a half, the taxes to be paid are saved, as long as the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Taxation come down to check whether the number of troops is enough, whether the equipment is enough, and whether it reaches the value of 5 million tax coins.

In addition, after three months, Gu Hang will be able to get an additional 2.5 million tax coins in his hand.

That's a lot of cash!

With this money, he can buy a lot of the goods that are now in the belly of the Beautiful Girl.

When he didn't have money before, he only ordered a small part of the things, and when it came time to trade, Gu Hang had to think about what he wanted to pay for.

Now, don't worry too much.

With 2.5 million tax coins, you can buy a lot of things.

So far, Gu Hang can be regarded as initially getting his part of the benefits of this war.

It's not much, at least compared to Yelicia, compared to Wang Jiarong, it's not much.

But Gu Hang is quite satisfied, people have boats and people make a lot of money, and he can't earn so much without a boat, it's okay.

With the lives of more than 4,000 soldiers, in exchange for 5 million tax coins, even if these 5 million tax coins have an additional price, it is a big profit.

Although it is a bit cold-blooded to say this, the fact is that the lives of more than 4,000 soldiers are alone, and the interest of 5 million tax coins a year is more than that.

Now, Gu Hang can already think about what he wants to buy from the Beautiful Girl; You can also start to think about how to spend the more than 4,600 gifts on your account to be the most effective.

……

Winged stars countless light-years away.

This is a garden world, the administrative center of the Star Sector, and the commercial and trade center where its influence extends to many surrounding Star Districts, with developed productivity. Although the overall production capacity is not as good as that of some casting worlds and nest worlds, it can ensure that a total of almost four billion people can obtain an excellent average quality of life and living environment.

The lower limit of the empire was very low, and most of the population lived in hardship. The lobotomy or unamputated but more or less common slaves in the casting world are living machines on the production line; The world of the nest capital is constantly crowded together with tens of billions of people on a planet, and people are raised as resources like pigs; The serfs of the agrarian world, living the life of an ancient medieval peasant in the interstellar age; In the world of death and the world of wasteland, people are struggling on the edge of life and death; The people of the fortress world, who have brought themselves with them for generations, have faced war from birth to death......

But again, the ceiling is quite high. People in the civilized world can wear a tie from 9 to 5, go for a cup of coffee after work, and go to the bar to indulge; The people in the garden world, with the advanced technology and extremely high resource rationing, can live an almost carefree life...... These two worlds, which are usually the administrative planets of the empire, the core of commerce and trade, and the accompanying manufacturing capacity, are not so significant.

Flying Wing Star is the latter, and it has not even suffered direct war in the past five hundred years.

Pegasus Palace, the most important functional building complex on the Flying Wing Star, is like a legendary paradise.

White marble makes up almost all the buildings here. There are masters of design in the building, and the water system is planned to be wide or narrow, rapid or slow, which looks harmonious and vibrant from a distance; Green plants are dotted all over the building, with various colors of flowers, colorful; The intense lights also illuminate the entire Tianma Palace at night as if it were day, and it is more exciting than day.

At the top of the palace is Pedes's office.

At this moment, he had just hung up the interstellar call with Gu Hang, standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the entire Tianma Palace.

A slightly drunken voice came from behind him: "Why did you promise that Gu family boy?" Their Gu family has already cut with him, and their mother is not pulling out a dime, what are you going to do? Aren't you afraid that all the investment at this time will be given in vain? ”

The person who spoke was a man who looked quite like him, but was thinner, and had a more frivolous and chic temperament.

He is the Governor of Wings, Varga Pedes, also known as Little Pedes, and is the younger brother of Loon Pedes. The two are also known as the Peters brothers, one is the governor of the Flying Wings, and the other is the head of the Celestial Planet Zone, controlling the supreme power of the entire Star Zone.

Loon Pedders said to his brother, "What did we spend? 2,500,000 tax coins? It was supposed to be handed over to the Imperial Department of Revenue, but it was given to him a year earlier. ”

Little Pedes was still puzzled: "But if he can't complete the imperial taxes, his newly built army will not pass the acceptance, and we will still have to make up the extra difference." ”

"That's how much it is."

"I'll always give you this money." Little Pei Desi muttered, poured another sip of wine, and then said, "Do you still have the idea of pulling the Gu family into the game?" I advise you to admit that this trick failed. As far as I know, Wang Jiarong's little girl went to anger Xiaoxing on her own initiative, Wang Qi didn't agree, and she got angry after she found out. That woman, you didn't see it on the first day, and said that no matter what her son, she really doesn't care at all, we still have to think of other ways. ”

"Alas......" Pedders sighed, "I know what you said, and I don't count on it anymore." However, it is not bad to cut it cleanly, Gu Hang was already resentful of his mother, and it was because of this that he was easily moved by me and entered the angry star. And now, after having his biological mother cut off from him cleanly, his mother-son relationship with Wang Qi will break down even more, and he can only rely on me. ”

"You see, after he had an idea, the first person he contacted was me, the guide and supporter, and he didn't have the slightest intention of communicating with his mother. Raging Owl, there is always a need for a governor, since he has done a little bit now, why don't you give a little more confidence, maybe there will be a new harvest? The cost of the payment has already been paid, and I don't care about paying a little bit more. The battle they won was indeed very useful. What if, this kid really did it? When the time comes, he will have to rely on me, and I will have a Gu family member who will serve him wholeheartedly. ”

Hearing this, little Pei Desi was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed as if he had thought of something very interesting: "If that's the case, it's quite fun." I'm really looking forward to seeing Wang Qi's woman's son, kneeling down and kissing your boots. When she sees it next to her, what kind of mood will she have? ”

Pei Desi was a little helpless, he turned around, stared at his younger brother, and didn't say a word.

After a long while, little Pei Desi finally spread his hands: "Okay, okay, I'm just kidding, I know that now is not the time to mess with that woman, and I won't ask for trouble anymore." ”

After saying that, he added: "At least not recently." ”

Pei Desi was also helpless, he shook his head and didn't say anything to his brother.

……

Also in Wings, another.

This is a manor, the property of the Gu family, and now Wang Qi lives here.

It's not as graceful and luxurious as Tianma Palace, but it's also funny.

At this moment, the hostess Wang Qi is reading a letter:

"Mother, it's good to see Xin'an."

"When I left in a negative mood, I wanted to break out of the sky."

"Now, it's been half a year since I left home; Fortunately, with God's help, there are some results. ”

"I'm sure you've heard about Star Wars. Although I don't have a strong ship or a cannon, I have also brought out a reliable army with what I have done on the Angry Owl for half a year, and I have defeated the orc overseers, turned the tide of battle, and established a victory. ”

"In half a year, although I have not completely controlled the planet, I have effectively ruled over a million people and established a hundred thousand legions. Under my rule, various industries are booming and thriving; The system I have established has also enabled the millions of people attached to me to have no worries about food and clothing, and to have income from their labor. ”

"Since I started my business, I have not received half of the support from my family, but after a year and a half, I have no worries about the first tax; Presumably, after three and a half years, there will be no problem in paying taxes in full, and the Raging Owl will gradually become a normal imperial world, and I will be firmly in the position of the ninth governor of the Pegasus region. ”

"But it's not the end, it's the beginning. I once told one of my subordinates that I would make the Raging Star as productive as the world; It's as beautiful as a garden world. This is my goal, and I am still determined to do it, I wonder if you believe it, mother? ”

"Maybe the goal is still far away, maybe you still think it's just the wishful thinking of an incompetent, stupid son. But I am sure that I am on the right path. ”

"I am not a good successor, as you think, like my father; I don't want to just settle for the wealth of my family. Fortunately, on impulse half a year ago, I now have a career that belongs to me and has nothing to do with Gu's. ”

"You may think that I am saying this to you to show off, to reply to what you said to me after the last meeting, and I will not deny it."

"But I would like to say that I have been through a lot in the past six months, and my thinking has changed a lot. I'll start looking at the inaction and nonsense of the first half of my life. Those complaining about the heavens are essentially due to my incompetence and stupidity. At the time of parting, you were right. ”

"By now, I have come to realize that accepting the appointment and coming to the Angry Owl as the governor will have a bad impact on the family, and it will also be a major blow to you to maintain the family business left by your grandfather and father for so many years, and you will have fallen into a situation where you need to pay a huge price if you save it, and if you don't save it, you will lose your life."

"But my luck lies in the fact that one wrong decision opened up a more correct path."

"Mother, I will not seek your forgiveness, I am going my own way, it is not a mistake, there is no need to forgive. But I have let go of my unwarranted resentment, and I will look at the past more calmly. ”

"Your assessment is correct for me in the past. But for me now, me in the future, whether it's right, then please look countless light years away. ”

"Let's see if I can achieve a career far beyond my ancestors as I wish."

"When the time comes, I hope you can give another evaluation to my mother, and listen to me at any time."

"—Governor of the Angry Owl Star, Gu Hang, your son."

……

The letter was not very long, and it did not say anything specific, but Wang Qi still read it for a long time.

Reading between the lines, she could see that in the first half, a young man was proudly showing off his achievements to his mother, saying that your previous evaluation of 'incompetent and stupid' was stupid.

But in the middle, she saw another adult who had become calm and stable, admitting his mistakes, but his back was straight. He is expressing his reflection on the past, admitting that he did not think well and made the wrong decision, but he also celebrates his good fortune.

Being able to recognize mistakes and gain something in reflection is good enough, and it is already Wang Qi's highest expectation in the past.

But at the end, she saw a change. She seemed to see a radiant entrepreneur, telling her about her lofty ideals, and then turned around and left in a dashing manner, following the path in her heart, and walked firmly.

Wang Qi didn't expect that Gu Hang would write such a letter.

knows her son like her mother, with her understanding of her son, there is a high probability that Gu Hang will not write any letters until he dies;

If you do, you'll probably say something like 'You're happy when I'm dead?' or 'As you wish, there's no stupid and incompetent son to disgrace you again.'"

In a small probability, the son may cry bitterly in a letter in the face of the fear of death, admitting his mistake and begging his mother to save him.

Although, no matter what, Wang Qi will eventually find a way to save it. That was her own son, her only bloodline, how could she really not care?

But he can't change the disappointment in his heart, and in the future, he may be put under house arrest, find a daughter-in-law, and let them give birth to a grandson as soon as possible.

The tuba practice is wasted, find a way to practice the trumpet, and when the time comes, the grandson will directly inherit the family business, and Gu Hang will play while playing.

She really plans to do this, and even her daughter-in-law is already looking for a genetically good one.

But this letter really made her change her mind.

After reading the letter, the relief in Wang Qi's heart was almost uncontrollable, and it turned into a shallow smile.

But in addition to being relieved, her feelings are also very complicated.

After being immersed in intrigue and trickery for a long time, she instinctively wondered if this letter was written by Gu Hang herself? In other words, is it expressing Gu Hang's sincere thoughts?

Is it possible that it was the old fox of Pei Desi, who had some strange tricks, found a master, fooled her son, and taught him to write such a letter to deceive and sneak attack his old woman? Using the mother-son relationship to blind her judgment?

But this possibility is not high, because there is a letter from Wang Jiarong that comes with the letter. In the letter, the niece told that her cousin had changed a lot, saying that the experience of the past six months in the angry star had made him different. Moreover, this letter was written by her cousin while she watched it, and no one taught it.

But even if it was really a scheme, Wang Qi had to admit that he would fall for it.

Where is there a mother who does not feel relieved to see her son grow up?
