Gu Hang never dared to underestimate the state religion, although they did not have nominal force, their biggest weapon was influence. But this thing is already very scary.

If the Pope, or a cardinal archbishop with a lot of influence, is really ruthless and declares someone or a place a heresy, or makes a claim on an area occupied by an alien or chaos cult, it is very likely to lead to the beginning of a holy war.

The bishop's subordinates may not have regular armed forces other than the Sisters, but they can summon all the governors and imperial military forces in several star sectors in the name of 'jihad'.

And if they want to, they often succeed. There are many examples in the historical records of empires.

It's not a power, an order, or a compulsion, it's a call to influence that comes with it.

But it is precisely this kind of influence and appeal that makes all levels of government in the empire, from the central to the local, actually quite vigilant.

Good guys, after the political turmoil that spread throughout the empire caused by the state religion, they have been put on their heads with layers of tight spells, and now they can still have such a powerful influence.

Who is not afraid of this?

In places where the state religion is strong, those government officials who believe in it will not be left alone for the time being, and officials in normal conditions will impose restrictions on this.

Of course, this can lead to contradictions, even conflicts, depending on the individual's approach and the local situation.

There was no chaos on Korojia, which made Gu Hang feel a lot more at ease.

The core reason is that not long after the last war ended, Gu Hang gained great prestige and military power, and the position of commander of the theater was still there. Bishop Zhao Qinghong is not a particularly strong person, although the mass base is good, although he is not satisfied with the abolition of privileges, but he weighs the compensation given by Gu Hang, such as promising to support the mission, and the alliance government will give special funds; Then measure the results of the troubles, especially those without the support of the Sisters......

Forget it, so be it.

As for finding a higher organizational structure of the state religion to sue, Zhao Qinghong actually sued.

But it didn't work, he knew it himself. The target of the complaint is essentially to cry and talk about how difficult it is for him, and the superior archbishop appeases him, and that's it.

The higher state religious organizations have no intention of coming out for this at all.

The core point of this is that Gu Hang did not touch the core interest that the state religion values most: influence.

The state religion can continue to preach without restrictions, and even the federal government has provided some convenience.

As long as the number of registered believers does not decrease, it is fine.

Even as the management system becomes more effective and clearer, the number of registered members will surge.

So what's all there to do about it?

As for not letting them touch politics and economic privileges – what does it have to do with higher state religious organizations?

The state religion has no plan to control the Pegasus region through influence, let alone fight for the economic privileges of the lower sects: they don't give me money, and they still applaud the elimination of corrupt elements.

……

After talking about the state religion, all of Koroga's matters are on the right track, and the rest is to rely on time to ferment.

Gu Hang needs to wait for Mingyancheng to follow the planned pace and step by step to the point where it can form an internal circulation.

And he himself was idle.

But this so-called 'leisure' is only relative. When he is in this position, how can he get real leisure time?

After he doesn't need to focus his time and energy on government affairs, he naturally has other things to do.

He first went to the Storm God Kingdom for a walk, the subspace essence of the Great Impure Godwaga, and he was still on the tower of the God Kingdom, suffering from the baptism and torture of the storm.

Months have passed, and the subspace nature of Gwagga has been almost eliminated. Even, Gu Hang could no longer see the appearance of the 'little' impure person with his teeth and claws, only a yellow-green mist remained.

Instead, there was a storm in the kingdom of thunder.

In the dense thunderclouds, a new life is born.

The size of the entire Storm God Kingdom has almost doubled in size in the last few months.

The subspace essence of Gwaggar was broken down and then devoured, making the power of the Storm Kingdom even more powerful. After having a greater 'subspace authority', the power that the entire Storm God Kingdom could call on also increased significantly.

According to Gu Hang's own estimate, with the current strength of the Storm God Kingdom, if he faced a great demon of the level of Govaga again and dared to invade alone, he should no longer need to rely on the right time and place, and he would have to squeeze the other party into the cracks of the curtain of reality, and rely on the blows of the real world to destroy the other party's body and soul.

Now, relying only on the power of the Storm God Kingdom, he should be able to defeat the other party.

Even if it is not a single invasion, but the Great Demon with the thousands of demon armies to which he belongs, the Storm God Kingdom also has the ability to fight head-on.

This was not only the result of the great increase in the power of the Storm God Kingdom, but also the result of Gu Hang's own strengthening.

After defeating Gwagga, he had accumulated enough experience to level up.

Although, the number of Gift Points required to upgrade to LV9 has come to a terrifying 200,000 points. But after many personal experiences, Gu Hang clearly understood that in this universe, the army is very important, and the powerful top-level combat power is equally important.

He spent this gift decisively.

After being promoted to LV9, under the normal condition that he himself is not a subspace bonus, his spiritual energy strength has already reached the S level.

This is the highest level that can be achieved in a normal psionic order, and it can almost be an army of one person. The thunder he called out would be even more terrifying than a salvo of ten thousand cannons, and could repeatedly bombard an entire field into slag; His telekinesis can cinch the cluster of charging armor into twists; With the help of an entire group of psionic mages, he can amplify his power and influence more than 100,000 kilometers away in the void of space, tearing apart the cruiser-level Void Shield......

Gu Hang also has a killer feature, once he tears open the curtain of reality and let the power of the Storm God Kingdom leak to reality, then his spiritual power will go to a higher level, directly with S+ level strength.

Placed in the subspace, Gu Hang stayed in the Storm God Realm, and already had the strength equivalent to the level of the Great Demon.

However, this has risen to the top.

Gu Hang used to think that when it was 9, it was normal to have 10 on it.

It doesn't make sense that 9 is top, right? Gu Hang still has various events and characteristics blessed in his body, so that he can have S-level spiritual energy strength at the level of LV9. If the [heroes] under him who are normally activated, even if they are upgraded to LV9, it is estimated that it is about the level of A+, and at most they are weaker than S-level.

However, those records that are a bit like myths and legends are aside, just in the Imperial Psionic Order, among the existing people, there are so-called S+ class psionic people. This is a strength that Gu Hang can't even rely on his characteristics, and can only be achieved by cheating in Kaisubspace. Not to mention, in the classification of the Psionic Order, there are alpha-level psionics who are one level higher than the S-rank.

A psionic person of this level, to put it mildly, can shatter a star with a single thought - of course, provided that this 'star' has no protection.

In any case, Gu Hang's current spiritual energy strength, although it can be regarded as the top level in so-so, is obviously still far from the ceiling, but here in the system, it has risen to the end.

This situation reminded Gu Hang of the dream he had before, and the person in the dream said that this was a 'very interesting little toy'.

Small toys, can't be on the table, do you mean this? Because it's just a 'little toy', there's a ceiling?

This explanation seems to be somewhat reasonable, but Gu Hang is not reconciled.

Recently, he had read a lot of information books shared by the psionic cults, and even troubled Wang Yuyang, the head of the Star Sect, who had made a special trip from the Winged Star to send him the materials.

Combined with his own situation, especially his careful perception of his feelings when he used psionic energy, and self-analysis and research, he came up with a conjecture.

When a psyker uses psionic energy, they are not essentially using their own powers. They are essentially 'loopholes' in the real world, a passage through which psionic energy comes to this world with the soul of the psyker as an anchor.

Theoretically, a high-level psionic person, even without any training, will show psionic power, but this power is uncontrollable, can cause terrible damage, and even become a punctuation point for subspace evil creatures to come to the real world, or even tear open a subspace gap.

Controlled psionics, on the other hand, can use this power according to their own talents.

In this sense, the amount of power that a psyker can wield is predestined, depending on whether his 'loophole' is big or small. The acquired training improves the control of spiritual energy. It's just that the vast majority of people can't touch that upper limit, and the spiritual energy that can be controlled is used; Uncontrollable psionic energy is deliberately suppressed to avoid getting out of control, which is the core of psionic training.

The function of the system has always been to provide Gu Hang with 'spirituality' and 'talent', so that he can better apply and master spiritual energy. If there is no system, his ability in psionic energy all his life is probably only about C-level strength, and then suppressing the psionic energy that he can't control, he will never be able to reveal it.

But now, the system has increased his ability to control psionic energy to the point where it can no longer be improved, allowing him to fully grasp the extreme power of being a psionic. On the interface of [Hero], the system can improve all that, but there is no way to expand the 'loopholes' for Gu Hang.

Further up, if you reach the alpha-level psionics, according to the research definition of the psionic order, it has exceeded the upper limit of the psionic energy that individual humans can control.

All the existences of this psionic talent do not exist in the conventional sense of 'control', loopholes cannot be filled, and the turbulent psionic waves in the subspace will swallow the people of this talent level. As they grow older, psionics of this level will be unable to stop the unbridled psionic powers, and will be distorted into something powerful enough to endanger an entire planet and cause even greater disaster.

The Psionic Society's method of dealing with alpha-level psionics is to capture them if they can be discovered in the early stage, and then control them in a special anti-psionic prison for research, until the anti-psionic prison can't be controlled, and then they will be executed; If it is not easy to capture, then it will be executed.

Even if there are very few alpha-level psionic beings who can control their power, according to the research of the psionic order, this control is also temporary and unsustainable, and the human brain will be burned out, and eventually the soul will be irrepressibly distorted.

Unless...... Some of the heavenly indulgents. That's a very isolated case to be studied, but it's generally believed to have something to do with the Emperor, the most powerful being ever formed, far beyond the strength of an alpha-level psyker. For example, the legendary Holy Angel and the Sage, the demigods of these two Space Marines who are known for their psionic powers.

Then the situation is very clear now, under normal circumstances, Gu Hang's spiritual power has indeed come to an end, and he can't go up.

However, he himself thought of another way.

Since I think that the S-class is the most powerful psionic level that humans routinely master, and that the higher level is something that cannot be mastered by a human being, then I should not ...... Oh, and you can't be inappropriate.

However, Gu Hang also has a unique condition, that is, the essence of the subspace second-class god he masters.

If you want to break through the limits of human beings and master alpha-level spiritual energy, or even stronger, you can't rely on 'loopholes' alone, you must have the essence of subspace and become your own person in subspace.

If he was now in the subspace and had the power to defeat the Great Demon head-on, he would have actually reached the strength of an alpha-level psionic. Next, what he has to do is to make this subspace essence as close to himself as possible, and even embrace this essence, so that he can gradually have the corresponding strength in the real world.

But Gu Hang still has doubts about this.

Embracing the subspace nature of the Storm God Kingdom excessively, isn't that the same as ...... Isn't it human?

Now, he was still a psyker, and even if the Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition stood in front of him, he was a legitimate Imperial psyker. But when combined with the nature of the storm, that's not going to work.

In this regard, Gu Hang also hesitated in his heart.

But the good news is that it's not something that needs to be decided right away.

At present, LV9, which is similar to the S+ level of spiritual power, is enough. If something big happens, Gu Hang can also temporarily obtain alpha-level power if he opens up, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.

There is still plenty of time to explore the way to touch the ceiling in the future.

……

Gu Hang had a lot of gift points on hand, and after winning the previous battle, he directly got 1.3 million, and at that time he even had a feeling that he couldn't spend all the gift points.

As it turned out later, it was a complete illusion.

400,000 administrative officers spent 400,000 points on loyalty training; He personally upgraded, which cost 200,000 points.

Almost half of it is gone.

But obviously it has been spent so much, and these 40,000 people can only be regarded as emergency at most, and the administrative officials are still not enough.

And in the future, he will have to leave a lot of gift points for training the army. He wants to carry out military management in all the nests in Koroga, clean up all the bottom and lower nest areas, and also need to guard them for a long time. At present, 150 million planetary defense troops are simply not enough, and Gu Hang does not look down on ordinary planetary defense forces, he wants to finally transform the entire Koroga army into the system of the 'Salvation Army'.

Not to mention the expansion of the army, the training of the more than 100 million existing troops will also cost a million gift points, where can we afford it?

If he really wants to expand to about 300 million to 400 million troops in his ideal situation, it will be impossible to do it.

Looking at it this way, the gift points are still very insufficient.

And what Gu Hang had hoped before, after Korojia was recognized by the system, he would be able to give him a significant increase in his income from monthly gift points, but the result was also in vain.

Korojia was indeed recognized by the system, and Gu Hang was now able to see it in the panel.

However, the fact that 40 billion people joined the alliance not only did not bring an increase in monthly income, but on the contrary fell!

Previously, Gu Hang's monthly income had reached the scale of seven thousand. But the moment Koroga was recognized by the system, that number fell to four thousand, which was only the level of four years ago.

Good fellow, Koroga turned out to be a burden, didn't she?

Gu Hang was complaining in his heart.

This situation was indeed a little bit beyond his estimates.

Originally, he didn't expect Koroga to provide him with a particularly high income in gift points all of a sudden, even if there were 40 billion people here. But the worst situation that Gu Hang thought about before was nothing more than a relatively low income, and he really didn't expect it to be a negative number.

But Gu Hang didn't panic at all.

He knew then that it would only be temporary. It is not uncommon to add tens of billions of people with poor quality of life, low productivity, and low control. This situation can soon be improved as various real-world problems on Koroga are resolved.

And that's exactly what happened.

From the time Koroga was recognized by the system to the present, in the past few months, Koroga has sent a total of hundreds of millions of people to the alliance's twin stars.

This matter also attracted the attention of Loys, who had returned to the Star Domain Government and was about to take up the post of Minister of the Interior.

Huge changes in the population in a short period of time, of course, will create problems.

She will question, what will happen to Koroga who continues to export people and pay taxes after six years?

At the same time, Gu Hang also had questions. The rapid population growth of the alliance twin stars is achieved through population migration, so how to calculate the tax problem? You can't count Koroga according to 40 billion people on the one hand, and then the alliance twin stars will be calculated according to the new population, so don't you calculate the tax for me twice?

After this communication, Ms. Loiss agreed in principle to the subsequent union to pay taxes, which should be calculated as a whole. That is, the annual tax amount of 4.05 billion tax coins.

Koroga theater of operations, 4 billion reductions. In the last six years, you only need to pay the Black Arrow Star and the Raging Owl Star every year.

However, there will be a follow-up to this. The empire recalculates the tax rate for each world every ten years, and the next accounting period is a year away.

And when the time comes, the administrative officials of the star district government will carefully investigate the situation of the three planets of the alliance, and finally calculate the amount of tax and report it to the star field. According to the situation in previous years, the population of Koroga is too difficult to calculate, and I am afraid that it will still be calculated at 40 billion in the end; And the double star is easy to calculate, and when the time comes, it is estimated how many people there are, and it will be calculated according to how many people.

There is no precedent for the migration of the population or not, the empire does not care. If you want to avoid being charged two taxes, if Gu Hang can manage Korojia in an orderly manner, do a good job in population statistics, and be able to withstand the on-the-spot verification of the star district government and the review of the star government, won't it be over?

Demographically clear, migration within the Union will not affect tax calculations – unless the Union-wide development coefficient is upward.

For example, the Flying Wings also have to pay 4 billion tax coins a year, which is the same as Koroga, but it only has a population of 8 billion. In this highly developed garden world, the development coefficient is level 5, which means that one population corresponds to 0.5 tax coins.

It's just smacking.

But for now, the league should not be raised.

It's hard to say in the next ten years.

For this result, Gu Hang was still a little helpless.

Adjusting Koroga's rule to the point where a perfect demographic could be made within a year, he was a little uncertain, if he was more optimistic.

If you don't get it right, you will still be unlucky.

However, even if this is the case, you can't stop eating because of choking. The migration of the population must be done persistently, even if it is a loss.

In fact, it's already working.

Populations migrated to Black Arrow and Raging Owl have no debuff, and do do go into production immediately.

On the Angry Owl Star, there is still a lot of reclaimable land in the North Qinggu area; The Nanqingya area can also start to let people go to the wasteland. The Qinggu Group Army, which has always been in the organization, has been ordered to march south to eliminate the mutant monsters inside. A large amount of jungle has been cleared – not all, but planned – of the land.

It is estimated that at least 200 million laborers will be needed to fully develop the farmland in the Guangqing Valley.

Not to mention, the industrial center of Weixing City is still expanding its production capacity, and there is a large demand for industrial workers.

According to the calculations of the alliance government, it is very difficult for the angry owl to return to the grand occasion of hundreds of years ago, and the natural conditions are no longer supportive. However, carrying three billion people, there is no problem.

This is still the premise of not developing towards the model of the nest world. In fact, the Raging Owl can develop one or two industrial nests, which can double the population.

The Black Arrow Star, which has better natural conditions, but the ocean area is too large and the land area is small, can also accommodate more than three billion people.

If the migration is carried out according to this goal, the population of Koroga will be reduced by 15%-20%, and the pressure to survive will be much less.

The Black Arrow Star and the Raging Owl Star, which have been replenished by a large number of people, will get rapid development.

At the same time, the reform within Koroga, especially in Mingyancheng, has begun to bear fruit.

Up to now, Gu Hang's monthly gift point income has returned to more than 7,000 points.

Up to now, it has been eight months since the end of the defense of Mingyan City, and Gu Hang has also received more than 30,000 yuan in monthly income alone.

Coupled with the income from some small-scale counterinsurgency campaigns, Gu Hang now has a total of 750,000 gifts on hand.

Most of them, of course, still have to be kept for follow-up preparations. He also had to expand his army and train administrative officials.

However, it is not impossible to take some of it out and smoke some technology.

10,000 yuan, let's try it out with a ten-in-a-row draw first.
