The empire has a standard for how much tax each world should pay: the total population × 0.1× coefficient of development.

For example, the Raging Owl Star, the Black Arrow Star, and the Koroga Star have the lowest development coefficient of Level 1, so they will pay one-tenth of the total population; For example, if the development coefficient is level 5, you have to pay 50% of the total population.

It looks simple and straightforward, but in reality, determining the amount of tax on each planet is a complicated matter.

First of all, it's not really possible to move in real time. The Empire's tax fleet can only return once every two years in the Pegasus Zone; Some more remote and less valuable places are only visited once in five or ten years, and there have even been cases where a planet has not paid taxes for a hundred years, thinking that the empire has forgotten about them, and as a result, the tax fleet suddenly arrives and demands to pay taxes for a hundred years......

In general, it is impossible for a planet to measure the population and the degree of development every year to determine the amount of taxes.

Second, even if it is checked every few years, there are questions about whether the population statistics can be accurate and whether the measurement of the degree of development is reasonable. Even if the empire has clear and detailed specifications for the degree of development, it is specific to each world, but there are ever-changing possibilities, which need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. The rigidity of indicators is no longer even an inappropriate problem, but it is simply impossible to deal with it.

In this case, the statistics of the population and the calculation of the degree of development depend very much on the ability of the officials and the executors – or, to a certain extent, the freedom of the will.

And this power was delegated to the hands of the star district government. After they have calculated the data, they will report it to the star field. If the planetary government doesn't agree, you can also go up and complain - the star government should ignore you for another matter, anyway, there is this statement.

The government of the star district does not directly levy taxes, nor does it have direct jurisdiction over the planets in the star zone, and for the troops in the star zone, if they want to move, they must report to their superiors, and there is not even a clear structure such as the military affairs department and the legal department in the star zone, although they have some related functions.

However, it is still a significant authority and duty to determine the amount of tax.

Pegasus Zone, rerated every ten years. A year later, with the arrival of the starfield government's tax fleet, after the tax was collected according to the last rated tax, the next time it will be paid according to the new tax amount.

Although there is still a year to determine the amount of tax, the corresponding work must start now, otherwise it will be too late.

Due to the particularity of the alliance system, and it has also been recognized by the star field government, the three planets under the rule of the alliance are calculated as one, and after the calculation, the tax will be reduced by four billion, which is the tax to be paid in the next six years. Six years later, just add the four billion back.

Gu Hang was still a little worried at first.

The relationship between him and the star district government is not very good.

After Pedes's death, there was no so-called 'promotion' kindness, and when he, the Gu family, and Fofana were the leaders of opposing the disgusting political struggle between the star government and the Faches family at that time, they completely broke away from the faction of the star government and formed a neutral third faction, which directly turned into a cold relationship; Not to mention, the later star district government wanted to take advantage of the infinite deterioration of Korojia's situation to completely crucify them as Fachers's crimes, but Gu Hang's behavior of taking over Korojia, although he took away this planet with a huge population from Fachers, he also saved them in disguise.

If Coroga has been in the hands of Farceth, and the situation is so corrupted that the Star Domain government has to withdraw the main force from the front line of the Iron Tooth War to return to defense, and is even forced to abandon Coroga's extermination order, then Falca will be finished, and he will definitely be held accountable to death.

It is precisely because of this that Faches, who was really unable to do it at that time, was quite eager to get rid of Koroga, otherwise Gu Hang would not be able to get it so quickly.

Of course, in this matter, Falchers will not thank Gu Hang, and the Dragon Eagle 3 Legion has been snatched away.

The star district government would not have any kindness towards Gu Hang, and even more alienated.

In this case, will the star district government stumble on him when determining the tax amount this time?

At least they have that motivation.

It is also very likely that the Star Domain Government will acquiesce.

Koroga was tax-free for six years, which is worth more than 20 billion. The Star Domain Government will definitely not break its promise, but if the Star District Government silently mentions some taxes, what does it have to do with me?

More than 20 billion yuan have been exempted for you, how can you pay more taxes?

But for Gu Hang, this is quite disgusting.

But in fact, these expected difficulties did not happen.

Of course, Gu Hang would not receive those working groups by himself, but he was able to see from the information reported by government officials from all over the alliance that the working groups of the star district government were quite honest.

They did not embarrass the local governments, nor did they show any particular distrust and had to investigate on their own. As for the data reported by the coalition government, they basically just look at it and then approve it.

Of course, this can be regarded as an act of releasing goodwill, which makes Gu Hang a little surprised.

What does the so-called 'parliamentarian faction' in power now in power in the star government want to do?

And soon, there was an even greater kindness that was placed in front of Gu Hang: Korojia No. 1.

This is one of the nine planets in the Pegasus region, and it is in a star system with Koroga 3.

In terms of volume and area, it is the largest one in the Pegasus region; Population-wise, it is the smallest one.

It's a mineral planet with about 10 million people on it, almost all of whom are miners, and industries that serve around mineral extraction; The orbit of the planet, there is a cargo starport.

Although its development coefficient is only 1, it also carries a resource tax, with a fixed amount of 100 million. In fact, the annual output of this planet is about 300 million, almost all of which are minerals, 100 million to pay taxes, 150 million to cost, and another 50 million can be regarded as profits.

This planet has too little population, a very single output, and is located in the same star system as a large planet like Koroga 3, so according to tradition, its planetary governor is usually served by the governor of Koroga by the way, and the additional income of 50 million is equivalent to a subsidy to Koroga.

At that time, when he took over as the governor of Koroga, he did not explicitly say that the ownership of Koroga 1 was now under the management of the star district government.

Gu Hang had long wanted to get it back. He's quite greedy for this place.

As the alliance's large-scale industrial production becomes more and more ferocious, especially after Koroga's industrial capacity keeps up, the consumption of raw materials will increase to a particularly terrifying level.

And a place like Koroga No. 1, for those former waste governors, it is indeed 50 million profits, but it is different when it falls into the hands of Gu Hang. He didn't understand, how could such a large mineral planet make so much profit in a year?

Even if you say that you have been digging for many years and the yield has decreased, it is not so.

However, before that, Gu Hang felt that this matter was not particularly easy to handle, and those guys would not give him Korojia No. 1 so easily, maybe they would have to do something in the middle and do some more struggle to be able to get it.

As a result, I didn't expect that the council of the Boxing District Government sent those people to him in vain.

Although it is said that he is not embarrassed in terms of tax rating, and gives him Korojia No. 1, these should have belonged to Gu Hang. But with the urine nature of the parliamentarians, it is obviously not that simple.

There has never been anything in the world that is 'supposed to be', and those people are so generous, they can't help but think about it.

With little effort, he guessed a reason:

Nothing more than Fatchers.

To tell the truth, Gu Hang is quite disdainful of the thoughts of this group of parliamentarians.

At the beginning, they would rather have a corrosive situation in Korojia than pull each other back with Fastces, which made Gu Hang feel disdainful.

At that time, Gu Hang was really too lazy to mess with them, and no one helped.

But now that the situation has changed, it's time to change our thinking and consider this issue from a purely animal of interest.

Fastes...... Now it's a piece of fat.

Corroga was a major victory for them over the years, as they had finally extended their power beyond their three planets;

But it was also the most painful failure, the claws they stretched out were cut off, not to mention, the biggest capital of the Dragon Eagle 3 Legion was lost.

They are now almost at their weakest.

Who wouldn't want to take a bite of such a piece of meat?

However, what Gu Hang wanted was not a petty suppression, not even against the Facher family.

What he wants is those three planets.

The three stars of Falces, located in the same star system, are the birthplace of the Falces family, with a total population of 10 billion people, evenly distributed across three planets. The development degree of these three planets is all level 2.

Gu Hang's appetite was a bit big for himself.

Moreover, this cannot be said explicitly.

Who will let him eat it?

However, he carefully calculated that it was not impossible, it depended on how to operate.

Gu Hang found some people and held a secret meeting to carefully discuss many specific measures and methods.

The participants included officials from the Alliance's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as candidates for the Demon Hunter Organization under the legal system.

In addition to internal anti-corruption, the witcher also has a large part of his business, which is external intelligence.

Now, the 'Demon Hunter' organization is no longer just all people trained by Gu Hang through the military card. It has evolved into an important secret service and intelligence agency of the Alliance.

If you want to attack Falchers, the work of diplomatic institutions and secret services is indispensable.

Gu Hang wants to know whether the two departments of the alliance are ready for the relevant ones.

And the answer he got was quite satisfying to him.

……

Winged Star, Doge's Palace.

After ending the call with Gu Hang, Ivan Martinelli felt exhausted.

He hesitated, but still couldn't hold back, and said to the little Pei Desi next to him: "Do you feel that Gu Hang was deliberately stimulating you just now?" ”

Little Pedes was still a little indignant: "Of course! He said I was far inferior to my brother! Aren't those words deliberately trying to trouble me?! ”

"Then do you think that he deliberately provoked you, what is the purpose?"

"What other purpose?" Little Pei Desi gritted his teeth, "He has no sincerity to cooperate!" You shouldn't be so polite to him, even a little flattering! If you want me to say, he is more hateful than Falcis! ”

Martinelli sighed deeply.

He now felt that what Gu Hang said just now might not have deliberately provoked anyone, but he had just accidentally told the truth.

But he can only hold it back, and he can't be careless.

Little Pei Desi had to take an inch: "Let's solve this Gu Hang first!" ”

Martinelli was very annoyed in his heart, and his face became serious: "Solve Gu Hang?" What do you do to deal with him? ”

Without waiting for little Pedes to speak, the star sector leader continued:

"The victory of the war has given him great fame in the entire star sector, and the neutral faction led by Gu and Fofana combines the forces of the Navy and the Imperial Chamber of Commerce in the star region, and it is up to them to leave the planet's surface;"

"He is now Chief Loys's confidant, and the Star Field Military Department has also seen the strength of the Angry Bear Legion under him, and it is said that he has plans to expand the Angry Bear Legion by twenty times, which contains countless budgets and benefits!"

"I heard that the former war apostle who was optimistic about him has now become the deputy head of the Central Military Department of the Empire, and he has planned to be a lieutenant general of the empire and the Glorious Medal, and in the entire star district, only old Fofana has ever received this level of commendation!"

"At the political level, from the star sector to the star field to the central government of the empire, all have his connections, with such a background, what can we use to bring him down?"

Little Pedes is still unwilling: "He's just a hairy boy......"

"What? Even now someone dares to say that he is a hairy boy? I don't care what you're thinking, but, little Pedes, you have to remember that you have to be respectful of him on all occasions. ”

"He is the rightful master of the three—now the rightful master of the four-world, and his alliance is triple recognized from the Star Domain to the Celestial Domain to the Imperial Center; He rules over more than 40 billion people, and Black Arrow has food production; The industrial output value of the angry star has grown rapidly; Koroga has an innumerable population......"

"He must have the support of the Mechonists behind him, and many mysterious technologies of unknown origin have helped him develop his world rapidly. His army is the most capable and numerous in the Zone; Countless mid- and high-ranking officers and captains in the Pegasus fleet and navy are protégés of his fiancée's family. ”

"He's already someone you can't offend in the Pegasus Zone, and he's the only partner we can choose to work with right now."

Little Pedes's face was pale, and he was silent.

And Martinelli, who said all these words in one breath, also formed like a stone, pressed against his chest, and sighed.

The two looked at each other without saying a word.

Until the end, he let out a long sigh of relief: "Don't worry, Pedes, don't rush...... When we get the three stars of Fastces, we will have the capital to fight with this Gu Hangdou again......"
