Chapter 171, I thought you were really here to support your cousin

The letter that Wang Qi saw was indeed written by Gu Hang himself, and no one taught it.

Writing this letter, he actually had two ideas.

First, emotional.

With the same name and surname, and using the predecessor of other people's bodies, Gu Hang felt that when the time was right, he had to give an explanation.

With his body, Gu Hang has some responsibility for this person with the same name and surname. The predecessor had an obsession with 'proving it to his mother', so let's satisfy this obsession.

Therefore, Gu Hang wrote the first half of the letter.

But to explain, it stops there, but it is not enough. Digging deep into the memory of his predecessor, his resentment towards his mother doesn't come from his love for his mother? If he really has no feelings for his mother, where can he hate it.

As a result, there is another saying that admits mistakes but straightens up and expresses ambition.

The relationship between mother and child needs to be eased. This method can't just be a crying confession, it is definitely not in line with the idea of the predecessor, not only that, but also let the mother see the change.

However, the emotional factor is relatively secondary. More importantly, there are some practical considerations.

From the memory of his predecessor, Gu Hang saw dissatisfaction with his mother. In the idea of the predecessor, the mother is the image of a strong woman who is indifferent, rational, unkind, and controlling, and her identity as the person in power is far greater than that of her mother, and he has felt very little maternal love since he was a child.

But this is the angle of the predecessor.

With Gu Hang's gaze, re-excavating those memories, from the perspective of a bystander, he is still certain that Ms. Wang Qi still loves her son. It's just that the focus is different.

I can understand it.

Gu Hang's family used to be the leader of the Gu family. His grandfather was the leader of the family, and his father, as the third in line, was the most liked and outstanding by his grandfather, and was designated as the first heir early, but he died before his grandfather died.

He had just been born when his father died; He was only three years old when his grandfather died.

After the death of his grandfather, the identity of the heir may not necessarily fall into the hands of Gu Hang, and he still has a few relatives and uncles. In addition, there are many other people in the same clan, and they also have their own bloodlines, and they each control a certain industry.

Brothers, uncles, and uncles of the same clan...... Who can wait for a three-year-old to grow up to be the leader?

Unrealistic.

At this time, only Wang Qi can support this small family. Without the support of the old lady, Gu Hang may not grow up at all; When I grow up, I'm afraid that the things left by my grandfather have already been cleaned up by my uncle, and what can be left for him depends on others.

However, Wang Qi's tough behavior of using her deceased husband to expand her influence in the family and working hard to gnaw meat will of course be hostile, criticized and excluded.

She herself is strong enough in her heart to not be afraid of those hostilities, and even fight back and forth, that is her ability. But Gu Hang was bullied by the same clan and even actions when he was a child, but he was powerless to resist and solve it. When his mother was so busy that she was flying, she was powerless to protect him all the time, so that the psychological trauma affected the establishment of his personality.

In terms of cultivating children and taking care of children, Wang Qi is indeed not a qualified mother; But in the special family environment, she is first and foremost to keep the property that belongs to their family, and it is difficult to say that she has done something completely wrong in this regard.

From a bystander's point of view, Gu Hang should still be very important in his mother's heart, but the behavior and expression of the implementation are different.

Based on this judgment, Gu Hang believes that he cannot be deceived by the memory of his predecessor, and the relationship between the two parties is not completely irreconcilable.

And if the relationship can be reconciled, the value of Gu's firm is very huge for a developing planet.

Just look at Wang Jiarong's arrival this time. Gu Hang saw a lot of the goods she was carrying on the ship, and deeply expressed her desire.

Commerce and trade are an important point in the development of the planet.

Moreover, if the relationship can be reconciled, Gu's family, especially his own mother, in turn, will become a huge boost to the development of his planet.

If the Gu family can fully support him in building planets, dozens of large and small caravans, divided into a few and transporting several batches of supplies, then his process of rebuilding the world will be greatly advanced.

It's not that there isn't no, it's just that if you have, it will be faster.

In addition to the establishment of interstellar trade and direct material support, Gu Hang also valued the interstellar influence that the Gu family had.

This is what he lacks.

This would bring political benefits and buy things that he would not have had money to buy.

Then, the follow-up will have to see how effective his letter is, and whether it has touched his mother.

"It should be fine, right? I've been thinking about how to write the letter for a long time. ”

While thinking about it, Gu Hang had already seen the angry star and had appeared in front of him.

Went home.

……

Gu Hang returned to the surface on the first batch of transport spaceships.

A wave of spaceships can't send everyone back, and the soldiers behind also need multiple batches of transport ships to travel back and forth between the surface of the planet and the orbit.

The three space ships in the starry sky will each stay for a period of time.

The quintet will stay for about a month and a half.

It needs to complete some preliminary overhaul work in the orbit of the planet. The mechanical priests and technicians on the starship will check the status of the starship during this time. If there are minor problems that can be repaired without the help of Star Castle and Orbital Shipyard, they will be dealt with first.

But when it comes to major hull repairs, the reconstruction of some destroyed weapon systems, it is certainly not something that can be done by minor repairs, and it still has to be returned to the factory.

In this work, Gu Hang also promised to help. At that time, there may be some material and some metal parts needs, which can be provided here.

It's hard to say anything else, the related industries of alloy plastic steel, Weixingcheng is already very mature, and there is still no problem with building materials, and even metal processing to make suitable components according to needs.

And Yelicia also told Gu Hang that this support will not be in vain. The raw materials and parts provided by the Angry Owl will be converted into a bill and issued to the Imperial Navy, which will then confirm the bill and then send it to the Ministry of Military Affairs to form a complete collection procedure and pay the tax currency to the Governor of the Angry Owl.

In this regard, Gu Hang didn't care much about it at first. Some basic processed parts and raw materials, how much else can they be worth?

Later, however, he was glad that he didn't do anything big. During the month and a half of the quintet's overhaul in the orbit of the Angry Owl, it ate up half a month's production capacity of the Weixingcheng Alloy Plastic Steel Processing Plant, and the final bill was 3,000 tax coins.

If this is given for nothing, it will still be quite distressing.

A month later, a destroyer from the Pegasus fleet will arrive in orbit to take over the work of the quintet.

At first, Gu Hang was a little dissatisfied with this. The cruiser was replaced by a destroyer, how can I be happy.

However, Yelicia's words made him change his mind.

In fact, the reason is very simple, if it is really a cruiser, the captain of that ship is at least a brigadier general, and the rank is the same as that of Yelicia now, and the seniority is definitely much older than her, she really can't command, at most she can only give a little advice. That would not be very easy to cooperate with Gu Hang's actions on the surface of the planet.

changed to a destroyer, most of the captain is just a colonel, or even a lieutenant colonel, she really has the ability to fight against the guest, and it will be more convenient to cooperate with Gu Hang's actions when the time comes.

Gu Hang admitted that what she said made sense.

In addition to this, Wang Jiarong's Beautiful Girl with a frigate will stay in the Angry Owl Galaxy for three months.

Gu Hang was also a little puzzled by this.

His personal trade needs are actually not large. He doesn't have any special needs for bulk commodities, all he really wants to buy is a few synthetic starch production lines to expand the food processing industry in his existing territory and relieve the pressure on food; In addition, it is the high-end goods that the Immortal Bird Warband demands.

In addition to this, a large number of minerals, weapons and equipment, consumer goods...... These Gu Hang are not ungreedy. He also saw a Knight Titan in the list of goods provided to him by Wang Jiarong! (Note 1)

This thing almost satisfies Gu Hang's feelings for mecha in some science fiction works in his previous life.

Ten meters tall, humanoid, equipped with a plasma cannon, missile launchers, and a revolver rapid-fire gun that can shoot a 105mm kinetic cannon like a machine gun bullet. In terms of defense, in addition to the alloy ceramic steel armor doped with pure gold, there is also a powerful shield generator, and the key action is also very flexible, and it is quite difficult for conventional artillery to lock on and hit it.

It's just such a thing, it can be used as a super firepower platform from afar, and it can charge into battle with infantry at close range, and it can be a super killer.

Of course, Gu Hang was greedy, but when he asked about the price......

10 million tax coins? Or is it a cost price that doesn't make money?

Forget it, this thing is still something that can't be played with for the time being.

In addition to these high-end goods, such as minerals, food and other bulk commodities, he does not need to buy a large number of them for the time being.

Among the commodities he needs at present, the transport plane has been sent down for him in a few shifts, where does he need to be parked for three months?

When she heard his question, Wang Jiarong smiled awkwardly, saying that after she finished shipping things for Gu Shipping, she still had to transport some goods to Blackbird Heavy Industries, some to be transported, and some to be transported on the starship.

Gu Hang narrowed his eyes at that time.

"Good fellow, didn't you say you were going to support your cousin?"

"Look at you like this, old sister, I'm afraid you haven't been able to talk to Blackbird Heavy Industries a long time ago, or to the Fastes family behind them."

"It's a big business, and what your cousin needs can be delivered in half a week, a week; Blackbird Heavy Industries' business has to be lucky for three months, right? ”

"It's true that we're repairing relations with the Falces family."

Gu Hang was angry with yin and yang, and Wang Jiarong was also very embarrassed.

She immediately said that this matter is the collective decision of your Gu family, and it is not even your mother herself who has the final say.

She finally emphasized: "Anyway, I'm here to support you, and by the way, I'm going to do a business with Fastces." ”

Gu Hang sneered: "That's the opposite, right? Doing business with Ficher is the key, and supporting me is actually the way. Oh, no, it should be by the way, after all, I'm not dead as a governor, and interstellar trade requires the governor's nod, and you can't bypass me if you want to do this business. ”

Wang Jiarong was so embarrassed that she stopped talking.

Of course, Gu Hang wasn't really angry.

Nothing to be angry about.

That's normal.

What happened to my cousin? My cousin deserves to drive a starship to deliver a batch of expensive goods to my cousin with a total value of I don't know if there is any oil and money, and sell it to my cousin at a low price?

You have to make money, don't be cold.

However, this sentence is also valid for Gu Hang.

"I don't care how you make a deal with Blackbird Heavy Industries, I only remind you of two points: first, the Fofana family can do it yourself, the Imperial Navy starship is parked in orbit, presumably they don't want to see you and Blackbird Heavy Industries do a big deal, the political price here has nothing to do with me, and I will make this sentence clear to Yelicia."

"Well, I understand, you don't have to worry, your Gu family was already active before you left, I'm just a worker, if there is a problem, I won't take the risk to do it."

"That'll do." Gu Hang turned to the second point, "Second, Blackbird Heavy Industry is part of the Raging Star, I am the governor, and they are also my people. All interstellar transactions on the planet require my nod. Blackbird Heavy Industries must pay me the imperial tax for these two years, and I am not asking too much, 10% of the output value for two years; On top of that, I also have to take a 10% transaction tax on this transaction. ”

"This ...... I certainly don't have a problem, but I can't guarantee whether Blackbird Heavy Industries is willing or not. ”

"Then let them send someone to talk to me. If you don't agree, don't think about doing this business. ”

"Cousin!" Wang Jiarong also tried to be coquettish.

"There's nothing to talk about."

Wang Jiarong was helpless: "This is a deal between your Gu family and the Facher family, cousin, you ......"

Gu Hangcai didn't talk about this: "Don't talk about this, I'm even more angry if you say that." The Gu family didn't give me the slightest help on the Angry Owl Star, and it didn't make sense that I should take special care of the business of the Gu and Fa families. I've exempted the Pretty Maiden's caravan from the transaction tax, and I'm just asking them to pay the imperial tax and transaction tax they should pay, which is merciful enough. ”

"If you can't even promise that, the quintet will destroy all unauthorized orbital passages. I'm sure Elicia will be more than happy to help me with this. ”

Wang Jiarong had no choice, she sighed and said, "I will convey your meaning to Blackbird Heavy Industries." Still, I would say that there may be displeasure within the family. ”

Gu Hang didn't care: "Then let my uncles and uncles and my mother scold me with their lips and feet in Flying Wing, what can they do?" ”

"I thought you wanted to reconcile with your family."

"Nope." Gu Hang corrected his cousin's opinion, "There is no such thing as reconciliation or disharmony, I didn't stop anyone, I just wanted the part that should be given to me should not be missing." If even this cannot be guaranteed, what can we talk about reconciliation or disharmony? ”

……

After returning to Fuxing City, Gu Hang called people to hold a working meeting.

It has been more than a month since he left Fuxing City, and he has even been paid a monthly salary.

Although, it is necessary for him to personally participate in the military operation on the starship this time. If he, a powerful psyker himself, doesn't appear, I'm afraid he won't be able to clean up the green-skinned Overseer; At the same time, he must be there to be able to subdue Yelicia, who did not want to fight, to fight; The struggle for the fruits of victory after the war must also be carried out by him himself in order to get his hands on it.

However, the surface of the planet is actually inseparable from him.

To put it bluntly, it has only been three or four months since the seizure of power in the alliance. He is still short of people, and even Osena has to wear many hats, and she is busy flying all day long.

The form of government established by the new coalition as a whole was again a highly centralized form of planning. Without him as a governor, if it takes too long, the hell knows what will happen.

In fact, for even a month, Gu Hang was worried that something would go wrong.

Although Osena and Yan Fangxu were left with a device that could communicate with the starship, during this time, Gu Hang did not communicate with the people below him at all. It's just that the communication of dozens of minutes is completely insufficient. Gu Hang urgently needed a practical work meeting to understand what had happened in his territory in the past month, and whether the work had been carried out as he expected.

And before waiting for the arrival of his main subordinates, he was still thinking about Blackbird Heavy Industries.

There are a total of three continents on the Raging Owl Star, and the other two small continents, which were originally the main mining sites of the Psionic Gas Field and the most severely devastated by the war, are almost a dead land, and the waste energy storm does not stop all day long, and the extremely harsh environment makes it more difficult for people to survive, and it is impossible to grow food. According to the intelligence, those two continents are basically no man's land.

And on the main continent, Blackbird Heavy Industries has a very important position. The history of this enterprise is even older than that of the Raging Owl Alliance, and they have been around for a long time before the alliance was established.

According to the information that Gu Hang has at hand now, the old nest of Blackbird Heavy Industry is located in the westernmost coastal area of the mainland, separated by tens of thousands of kilometers from Fuxing City, where he is now. They control a sizable area of land, and about 10 million people live there, and the main source of food is partly self-produced - there are large large plains in the western part of the continent, and although there are many areas covered by the waste energy storm, there is enough land left to feed a considerable number of people.

The other part comes from the grain of the pre-war technical breeding factories in the Western Desert region, under those oases.

If you look at the name "Blackbird Heavy Industries", you will know that this is a super enterprise with heavy industry as its main business. They were nominally part of the Alliance, but since the second Governor, they have drifted away from the Alliance. Every two years of the imperial tax, they pay it symbolically.

According to the population of 10,000,000 in their sphere, it stands to reason that they should pay the equivalent of two million tax dollars worth of the product for each tax period and send it to the Union government as their tax revenue for the current year.

However, in the past six years and three tax periods, they have given a maximum of 400,000 tax dollars at a time, and a minimum of 200,000 tax dollars.

The difference is significant, but the point is that the coalition government cannot afford to collect it.

How to receive? The bear-like old Alliance legion can still cross thousands of miles to expedition to the western world of the continent? No political force could be mobilized.

Successive governors could only scold and accuse Blackbird Heavy Industries of being a traitor to the empire and a rebellion if they did not pay taxes.

But...... Coincidentally, isn't it? Suppressing the planetary rebellion is the job of the governor, and if you don't do it well, you are incompetent. Theoretically, in the event of a rebellion, it is possible to call in the Imperial for support, and it is also possible for the Astral Army, the Imperial Navy, and even a wargroup to fly.

But alas, this is only theoretical. Unless the situation is so bad that it is even possible, or has already affected many surrounding areas, the Empire will not be able to deal with you.

Even, there was a rebellion on some planets, and the rebels slaughtered the governor, and the imperial reinforcements arrived.

Sending people to the ground to take a look, the rebels said: The last governor was tyrannical and incompetent, and we overthrew him, but we are still loyal to the empire, we are willing to continue to pay taxes, and we are ready for the new tax payment.

As soon as the imperial reinforcements heard this, okay, then you are the new governor, and then they will go home.

It's grassy, but from the eyes of the empire: the mutiny is gone, the new governor is very loyal, the taxes are not less, and the war is saved, isn't everyone happy?

As for the old governor? A waste that can't even handle a rebellion, dead and pulled down.

This is unlikely to happen, but it has been documented many times.

As far as Gu Hang is concerned, he can't directly interfere in the affairs of the extreme west of the continent, and he doesn't have the ability to organize a large army to go on an expedition across thousands of miles, and the logistics supply can't withstand it at all.

It is all in vain to rely on orbital support, and it is impossible to establish rule without ground forces to control it by bombing alone.

Even if it is engaged in orbital airborne and orbital transportation and supply transfer, it can ignore the distance on the ground, but the quintet is a standard warship, and the orbital transportation conditions are not good, so it cannot support this matter; As an armed merchant ship, the Beautiful Girl has the conditions to do it, but obviously Wang Jiarong will not support him to fight this battle.

Even if he won the war, the industrial level of the Raging Owl Star Land would not be able to support him to rule the land on the other side of the continent across thousands of miles in a short period of time.

In short, fighting a war is not reliable, and the time is not ripe.

But on the contrary, with the help of this key transaction between the Gu family and Fastces, it is still possible to let Blackbird Heavy Industries pay for it, pay the money they should pay, and block the trade if they don't pay the money. The quintet is able to tightly seal the trade link between the surface and the orbit of the planet.

According to Gu Hang's idea, the lowest line, you honestly paid this issue of 2 million tax coins to me; In addition, Gu Hang also asked them to make up for the shortfall in the three installments of the past six years, which is almost 5 million tax coins.

Seven million in total.

Of course, the latter one, Blackbird Heavy Industries, and Fasters may not be willing to accept it. Gu Hang didn't plan to force the other party to death, otherwise he would not do the business in one fell swoop, and Gu Hang's idea of taking money from the other party's pocket would also be disappointed, how bad it would be.

It's time to see how to talk about it.

In short, 2 million tax coins is the bottom line.

Today's update is late, but there are 6000 words!

I actually finished writing 4000 last night, and I thought about it when I was timed, and decided to write more 2000 more smoothly, and I wrote it this afternoon.

Let's see if the situation can be updated on time for 6,000 words tomorrow.
